Y. 11735 Published by THE OBSERVER, Inc., Box 146, Farmingdale, N. Y. Thursday, May 31, 1973 ,15c School Board Reveals Lower Tax Rates at Budget Hearing The Board of Education announced at its budget hearing on Tuesday night that the budget to be submitted to the voters of Farmingdale School District on June 24 will carry a tax rate reduced by $. 36 for resident of Oyster Bay and $. 53 for those in Babylon Revenues from sources other than the local tax have increased by $ 244,866 while expenditures have been lowered by $ 53,000 in comparison to the budget which was defeated on May 2. The revised budget of $ 25,063,701 carries an estimated tax rate of $ 15,324 in Oyster Bay and $ 22,476 in Babylon; increases of $ 1,037 and $ 2,306 over the 1972- 1973 budget. CONTEST WINNERS: At Castle Harbour Beach and Golf Ciub, Bermuda, recently are contest winners Mr. and Mrs. Anthony DeLuca ( right) from Farmingdale with Mr. Tony Peck, general manager of Castle Harbour and Miss Claudia Stobie, director public relations. Mrs. DeLuca won a week's paid vacation for two at the resort hotel on the NBC show ' Sale of the Century'. Slate Music Contest At Woodard Parkway Woodward Parkway School will be the site for the New York State School Music Association's Spring Contest Festival. On Friday, June 1, and Saturday, June 2, over 1,800 students from North Nassau Zone schools will be performing for a rating either as Soloists or Ensemblists before State- appointed adjudicators. Students are required to prepare a solo or ensemble listed in the official NYSSMA manual, as well as up to fiteen scales. An additional requirement is sight reading. The music is listed in six levels of difficulty; Level 6 being the hardest. The adjudicators' role is to award a letter grade ( A being the highest possible) based op the following categories : scales, rhythm, technique, precision, interpretation, musical effect and sight reading. Those high school students that do well will be able to participate next year in the Nassau County High School Music Festival held at C. W. Post College. Students who performed especially well will be picked for participation in the select All State High School Music Festival to be held next December at the Concord Hotel in the Catskills. Farmingdale Schools have entered a record number of soloists ( 175) and ensemblists ( 71) this year. Last Spring, Farmingdalers were awarded 101 " A" s for their efforts in the Solo Competition and 16 " A" s in the Ensemble portion of the Festival. This year's Festival is being chaired by Paul Erlanson, High School Orchestra Director. Additional state aid may still be coming to Farmingdale if the governor signs a bill by which the state would provide payment in lieu of taxes under certain circumstances for public use of real estate. This bill would compensate Farmingdale for some of the revenue lost from the MTA take over Republic. The bill had passed the Assembly earlier and made it through the Senate in the closing hours of the session. The governor has thirty days m which to sign the bill. The major items of increased revenue in the proposed budget are a 2.5 percent increase in State aid of $ 170,000 and state aid for textbooks for grades K- 6. Now that state aid is provided for elementary text books, these would be provided to elementary students under an austerity budget. The decrease in expenditures is due to lower insurance rates, a decrease in teacher aids, and a reduction of one bus because of the phasing out of the Breslau Gardens community. In addition, the cost of repairs for the roof of the Parkway Oaks schools will be taken from a capital reserve - instead of the general fund. Another fact in the reduction of the tax rate is an increase of over $ 288,000 in the assessed valuation in the district. The budget hearing on Tuesday evening was poorly attended with more administrators and board members up front than people in the audience. The reduction in the amount allocated for instructional supplies as compared with the 1972- 1973 budget was criticized. Trustee Terry Weathers stated thai the board felt the amount was adequate. Assistant superintendent for the secondary schools, Charles Manso, agreed with the criticism. Weathers said the board would look into one specific allegation that the math department at Howitt received no money whatsoever for instructional supplies which would cripple work in the math lab . There was" also a comment from the floor to consider staff reductions and to consolidate the school libraries with the Farmingdale Library system. Thij buf'. get is expected to be adopted ai the next regular board meeting on June 4. Marilyn Hametz Stops Parade but Not Memorial Services HEART TO HEART GIFT: At the annual meeting of the Nassau Heart Association at the Hempstead Holiday Inn, members of the Mended Hearts Chapter 45 ( Nassau/ Suffolk) proudly presented a check to the newly installed Heart Association treasurer Peter F. Pill ( Glen Head). Mrs. Herbert Roth ( Roslyn) co- chairman of Mended Hearts ( extreme left),, poses with Mrs. Mimi Katzen ( Farmingdale) and Sidney Gorenberg ( Oceanside) as they share congratulations on the highly successful and daring format presented earlier in the afternoon session, when the Nassau Heart Association presented a panel discussion on " Sexual Activity and the Cardiovascular Patient". The water was enough to wash away the marchers and the wind would have swept off the music and so, the annual Farmingdale Memorial Day Parade was cancelled last Monday, May 28. Richard Steenbuck, First Deputy Chief of Farmingdale Fire Department and chairman of the parade, said he called the parade off at approximately 8: 45 a. m. There is not, and cannot be, any rain date for this parade. According to Steenbuck this is the first cancellation in about 30 years. Members of the fire department were the only prospective participants who assembled at Thomas Powell before it was cancelled 45 minutes prior to the official line- up time. The department dispatched units to drive through the village to announce to residents and those involved that the event had been cancelled. According to Steenbuck all officials and notables who had planned to attend the affairs and services were notified and did not show. Among them were guest speaker Congressman Angelo D. Roncallo and Mayor John Hallahan. Wreaths placed before plaques in front of Main Street School reminded wet passers- by that honoring the war dead of this country, the aim of celebrating Memorial Day, had not been forgotten. Several services were held throughout Farmingdale including one each by the American Legion Post 449, Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 516, and Young Memorial Post 1803. South Farmingdale Fire Department held their services while the East Farmingdale and Farmingdale Fire Departments combined efforts to do honors. Burglary on Memorial Day A Memorial Day vacation had an upsetting finish when residents of Linwood Avenue, Farmingdale, returned after four days to find their home burglarized. A cut screen window was the mode of entry which led to the loss of one stereo and two speakers, a tape deck, a television set, and several hundred dollars. Two other resident burglaries were reported both on Friday, May 26. The first occured approximately 11: 30 a. m. at David Drive, South Farmingdale. Loss was unknown at the time of the report. The second burglary took place on Avon Drive, Farmingdale, 7: 45- 10: 45 p. m., and $ 30 was taken. Carl Zaupel, 1129 Lampack Avenue, Bayshore, was arrested Monday, May 28, 3: 55 a. m., on Main Street, Farmingdale. Zaupel is 25 years old and in the plumbing business. He was arrested for possession of a loaded firearm, .32 caliber, and for possession of a dangerous drug, marijuana.

PAtch IS finally here..POST YOUR FEEDBACK
Like (1)
PAtch IS finally here..POST YOUR FEEDBACK
Games feels smoother,plus matchmaking for smaller countries i think is fixed
Seem smoother played a full game no drop. Spawns seem better as well. Others?
Hope you guys are right, I want this game to work right for once.
Any improvement on the host connection in the game or will this fix be for an future title update?
No update here...
feels normal
STill no games found for 60% of gamemodes...WTf was working for like an hour and then no games found again
the release notes (on another thread) didnt mention that t1.06 was going to resolve match making.
have the lag issues been resolved? what abt NERFing of the guns?
I know but after the patch all gamemodes were working.an hour later no games found
I hope the Lag as been sorted, sick of the fact that i killed by people with the reactions of a donkey.
maybe ur reaction is more worse than a donkey who knows it?? everything above 0,4sec
Mate, i've played LAN events for many years, you don't do well there with donkey like reflexes. Good try though
So far for me the lag is 5-10% worse.
Bug with the I.M.S.
When IMS is triggered, it can cause the owner's xbox for freeze (Game just Hangs, needs to be Restarted with the Power Button)
[May be due to Geometry or the Engine Calculating the IMS projectile launch height and target location within the given vicinity]
[UPDATE: Guns used during the Glitch where HAMR Scope/Silenced MP7 or ACR Hybrid Sight/ Silenced]
Bug with EMP
Friendly and Enemy EMPs can trigger the EMP sound effect to loop continously for the duration of the said EMP
Trouble Finding Matchmade games with under 50ms or 75ms on a good connection (Direct Service Line)
[Has Regional Matchmaking been fixed?]
pointless waste of 4mbs
I'm sure nothing will have changed or things will be worse
I have not, as of yet, played the game and or recieved the patch last night. I will have to try it out and report back.
Lag is better, not perfect but a little bit better i noticed that people still see me first but less time than before, like .25/second.
PS: anyone wever wonered why all patches have the same size (4 mb) ?!
This game is actually worse for me since the patch. Awesome
Treyarch needs to step in and take over this is crazy.
You mean Treyarch who introduced this problem in the 1st place with Black Ops?
it sucks this is a piss poor game online,lets all get screwed so 10yrs old kids with bad net win...this cost me only £26 with elite so ive not lost much.anyone trading this yet??
I downloaded the patch, and I still suck at CoD.
Terrible, much worse for me since the patch. Host quits out presumably because of crappy connection or feeling like being cheated/game ends. I get host, cannot shoot ANYONE! Terrible, terrible terrible. Spawns are still crappy.
I got it this morning.
I haven't seen anyone with a Type 95 yet. I got killed with Akimbo FMG9's in about 3 shots so.... I just hope the Type 95 isn't a 1 bullet kill in the hip anymore.
Haven't noticed any glaringly bad examples of lag compensation.....yet, but havne't been playing that long.
I actually think the spawning got worse. I was playing TDM on Hardhat. I was going around the part in the corner, by the bulldozer, where there is framework and cinder blocks. I start to walk down the hill (opposite of there the tipped over port-a-john is) and see 1 guy just standing there. I get him, and then another one spawns, kill him. That happended with 3 other guys back to back to back. Felt bad for them, but what am I suposed to do?
Kill them over and over until they cry to their mommies. It's hard not to take advantage of the terrible spawn system, i LOVE FFA on dome. I can hold that building down like no other and win the game in just a couple of minutes.

You mean one burst kill, right? Of if you insist on saying bullets, you mean 2 bullet kill up close? Because the gun does 55 damage per bullet in it's original form, at close range. So it's ALWAYS a 2 shot kill in non hardcore up close. At range, it's a 2 burst kill.
Everybody needs to calm down and think for one minute. People (like myself) are just waking up and dling the patch so everybody doesnt have it yet. By this afternoon everything should be fine.
i might just be paranoid but since update i have never been paired up to anyone in the uk, only europeans who cant even speak english -,- i used to get 8/10 k games but i dont have fibre optic so was getting my arse handed to me -.- but now i only get paired with laggy camping eu ***** and its really boring to play even if they are improving my kd ratio -.-
Good to see cnuts used liberally in a sentence!
nothing wrong wanting to play against uk players even if i win or lose it dont matter, im not competetive i just hate playing with team mates who cant speak english seeing activision swears so much by forcing in game chat to encourage team work bring back the party chat \o/
Haven't gotten the chance to play anything yet. But I downloaded the patch and went into my main Multiplayer lobby. Thing started freezing up like crazy. Like on and off freezing. IDK if that was just it getting used to the update(which would make no sense) but hopefully that is the only negative thing to happen after this patch.

An entry-level boat that delivers quite a ride out on the water.
The 200 offers good seating for friends and family.
The hull provided a very tough and solid feel, with no creaking or rattling.
Cobalt combines first-rate materials with top-notch workmanship.
Cobalt offers a list of very useful options too. For instance, an on board air compressor for your water toys and a telescoping anchor light that disappears at the touch of a button.
For decades the legendary 190-bow rider has been introducing people to the pleasures of casual boating. Now for 2003, Cobalt is introducing the replacement for the 190 with their newly designed 200-bow rider. The new boat is almost two feet longer than her predecessor and provides greater comfort and styling. The only thing that hasn't changed is Cobalt's renowned quality and durability.Even though this is a 20-foot boat the fabrication of the hull and detailed parts is first rate. Weighing in at a healthy 3,800 pounds dry, the 200 rides smoothly and cuts through the rough water confidently. Our test crew had the opportunity to take the 200 out on a very rough day, and though we got a bit of water over the bow, the hull provided a very tough and solid feel, with no creaking or rattling like we sometimes find in other boats. Performance is based on what engine package you decide to choose from. Our test boat came equipped with a peppy Volvo-Penta 5.0 liter GXI SX motor attached to a Duo-prop drive. This combination produces 270-horse power at the prop and is capable of pushing the 200 to over 46 miles per hour. As expected, this bow rider handles very well. Slalom turns can be accomplished with precision, and circling around to pick up skiers is performed with a tight radius.Cockpit layout is typical for a bow rider, with wrap-around seating up front, dual bucket seats at the helm, and a wide aft bench seat. Cobalt uses high quality vinyl and dri-fast foam in the construction of their seating components. The upholstery work is some of the best in the industry, and will give you many years of enjoyment. Integrated into the aft seating and the engine hatch/sun pad, is a transom walk-thru. Combined with an excellent non-skid surface, this walk-thru makes transitioning to the swim platform easier and much safer. At the stern, the molded swim platform houses a small, self-draining wet locker for your ski rope, and a telescoping boarding ladder. An optional extended swim platform is available and mounts just above the water line. I really liked the thinking that went into this concept because it provides you with two tiers of platform space and it makes getting in and out of the water a breeze. Since the platform extends well aft of the propeller, a huge margin of safety is provided for those in the water. Of course, there is plenty of storage space in the 200, and drink holders are everywhere. Cobalt offers a list of very useful options too, for instance, an onboard air compressor for your water toys and a telescoping anchor light that disappears at the touch of a button. One of my favorite options is the stainless steel tube framed Bimini top, which is secured by using quick-release tube stanchions, rather than fabric straps.What stood out the most to me was the premium build quality. Cobalt combines first-rate materials with top-notch workmanship. Rigging details like double clamping all plumbing connections, lining all storage compartments with rubber mats or carpet, and most importantly, the use of tapping plates and/or backing plates on every fastener. All these manufacturing details, combined with an outstanding hull lay-up, result in a boat that might just outlast her owner! Now be prepared, because all this quality does have a cost attached to it. But years from now, that may not matter.By Capt. Ron SvobodaTest Captain

WEB EXCLUSIVE: Spring turkey hunting 101: Everything you need to be ready for the weeks ahead
BY Luke Clayton, Special to Star Local News
With spring turkey season a few weeks away, it's time to plan our upcoming hunt, break out the old box and slate calls and make sure they are in working order.
I have a good buddy that has a turkey box that contains all his turkey hunting gear, everything from chalk for his calls to a face mask and camouflage netting for a quick blind. About this time each March, Bob takes great pleasure in sorting through his gear, replacing what needs replacing and adding new items he thinks might make him a more effective turkey hunter.
He's rigged and ready for the opener and I hope you are at least making plans to take to the spring woods in search of a boss gobbler.
The difference between hunting 2- and 3-year-old gobblers is dramatic.
The 3-year-old birds have had another year to hone their survival skills and they are much tougher to call within shooting range than their younger counterparts. Since I do most of my turkey hunting with my compound bow, I consider any legal gobbler from a Jake to a longbeard a trophy.
Regardless of whether we're hunting Eastern Turkeys in east Texas or the more abundant Rio Grande birds in the remainder of the state, there are a few tricks that will help us bag that boss gobbler.
I've spent time in the spring woods hunting turkeys since the early-1980s and often done so with some very experienced turkey hunters. I've learned a few things from these guys and even more from the turkeys we hunted. In the outdoors, few things are absolute truth; when it comes to predicting patterns of game animals and birds, we can only guess and base our assumptions on past experiences.
One truly hunts turkeys in the spring.
Granted, some gobblers are shot around corn feeders, especially in Texas, but this practice takes much away from the true sport of spring turkey hunting. The hunter takes to the woods with his calls, decoys and shotgun or bow in attempts to first locate a gobbler, then have the bird close the distance to what he thinks is a receptive hen.
Turkey hunting is a challenging endeavor that can be likened to a chess game.
Moves are made that result in consequences that hopefully result in a successful hunt and a big gobbler on the ground. Sometimes the best laid plans work; sometimes they don't. Here are some of the techniques I use when hunting spring turkey. I use these as a guideline, but am always quick to alter plans when the situation dictates.
Pattern your shotgun first
All shotguns shoot a bit differently and it's important to pattern your shotgun with the load you plan to use to hunt turkeys.
Either buy a turkey target or make one.
Here's how: Use a piece of cardboard, a black marker and your hand for a pattern. Clamp your four fingers together and touch your thumb to the fingers. This silhouette perfectly duplicates a turkey's head. Your arm serves as his neck. Use the marker to outline your arm and hand on the cardboard. Then, back off 30 yards, hold a bead on the center of the bird's neck and see how many pellets hit the head/neck. Adjust your sight picture until your pattern centers on the head/neck. Body shots on turkeys should be avoided when hunting with a shotgun. Pellets in the neck or head put the bird on the ground. I've killed several gobblers with my bows. When bow hunting, center of body shots are best.
Use fields to your advantage
Food plots are common these days and, on many ranches, large fields are planted in winter wheat for cattle.
If the areas you are hunting have land planted in wheat or food plots for wildlife use them to your advantage. On many occasions, I've had gobblers spot my hen decoy, set near the edge of a wheat field from a quarter-mile away and come strutting within bow range.
Try to set up in the cover of the trees and brush adjacent the field and place your decoys on high ground in an area with good visibility. Use dowel rods to give your decoys more elevation if necessary.
Calling is helpful when using this technique, but once a gobbler spots your decoy, chances are pretty good he will make a beeline for it. Avoid calling too aggressively, especially to a bird heading your way. I like to set a Jake decoy a yard or so behind the hen. If there is one thing a boss gobbler cannot stand during breeding season, it's the sight of a young gobbler in the vicinity of hens.
Moving is sometimes necessary
On occasion, you might hear a gobbler respond to your hen yelps by gobbling, but after repeated gobbles it becomes obvious he is not closing the distance to your position.
When this occurs, sometimes moving just 30 yards then setting up and calling again will close the deal. In the real world, hen turkeys seldom stay in one place and call. When the turkey hunter moves 30 or 50 yards, the gobbler is tricked into thinking his hen is on the move and he moves closer to locate her.
Don't call too frequently; call on their level
I've found that turkeys do not respond well to calls coming from a lower elevation.
When a gobbler responds to my calls when I'm hunting in hilly country, I always try to get on his approximate elevation or above before I set up to call him in. Turkeys do not like to cross natural barriers such as fences, heavy brush or streams to approach what they perceive to be a receptive hen. Try to set up to call in areas that allow approaching gobblers easy access.
Over calling is a common mistake made by novice turkey hunters.
Once a gobbler has responded to your calls with a gobble, give him time to close the distance to your location. At times, a hot gobbler will stop, strut and gobble at every series of hen yelps he hears, but most often it's best to call sparingly once a bird has responded and is on his way to you.
Mid-morning is best
Many turkey hunters leave the woods if they haven't shot a bird by 9 a.m.
This is a major mistake.
I've killed far more birds through the years from mid-morning until noon than during the first hour or so of daylight. When gobblers fly down from their roosts at first light, chances are very good they are already with hens. After the initial morning breeding activity occurs and hens head to their nests, gobblers once again become active. Gobblers are often not as vocal during mid-morning, so remain very still as he might come from anywhere.
Many times, I've simply looked up and there stands a big gobbler that showed up unannounced without a single gobble.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful, Part 1
How could we make progress on questions involving the evolution of form without a scientific understanding of how form is generated in the first place? [By the 1970s] population genetics had succeeded in establishing the principle that evolution is due to changes in genes, but this was a principle without an example. No gene that affected the form and evolution of any animal had been characterized. New insights in evolution would require breakthroughs in embryology.
Series: Evolution Basics
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Series: What I Wish My Pastor Knew About... The Life of a Scientist
Andy Crouch examines the life of a scientist based on his experience of walking alongside his wife Catherine, an experimental physicist. That relationship has shown him that a life in science is a journey "into a set of virtues," of cultivating a specific character suited to the particular demands of research and investigation. Crouch's hope is to persuade pastors and others in the church to prayerfully support the scientific endeavor as a reflection of God's image in humankind as well as offers some suggestions for ministering to their needs.
Series: Biological Evolution: What Makes it Good Science?
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.

In our current culture, we're defined by our jobs. It's having a vocation. I wanted to shift away from that. I didn't want to be a doctor first and foremost, or a scientist, but one who praises God.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Awe in Science
If we can understand the experiences of the people who work every day in the lab, our dialogues concerning science and religion will be far more fruitful.
Katharine Hayhoe: Evangelical Christian, Climate Scientist
As an Evangelical and a scientist, Katharine Hayhoe is already a member of a rare breed. As a climate change researcher who is also married to an evangelical Christian pastor, she is nearly one of a kind.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Death and Rebirth: The Role of Extinction in Evolution
When they imagine evolution, many Christians picture novelty: new species arising over time, or speciation events. But as the most recent Southern Baptist Voices exchange makes clear, many Christians also focus on the role of death in evolution—something that can be a stumbling block.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
The Beauty of Being a Scientist and a Christian
I am a Christian. I believe that God is the ultimate reality and that the world, including me, was created by God. But this is not just an idle affirmation, a faith statement to be recited in church on Sunday.
Being Fruitful
Many people use the words "dominion" and "subdue" as "unconditional permission to use the world as they please." I came to realize, like many, that such an interpretation is contradicted by the rest of the Bible.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: Owen Gingerich
When it came time to go to graduate school, one of Owen Gingerich's science professors told him "If you feel a calling to go to astronomy, you should give it a try, because we shouldn't let atheists take over any particular field."
Satan's Toady?
A member of a church that I was attending once told me that I was "giving bullets to the enemy" because I claimed to be a Christian and an Evolutionary Biologist.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.

The Board
6:42 pm on Wednesday, November 2, 2011
There is a heated town committee campaign going on in Lacey. Many comments on the Patch. I've posted & reposted many this week. They are removed almost as soon as I post them. (I removed a few of mine myself after being threatened by someone posting a comment) Nick, one of the contributers stated in a comment that inappropriately flagged articles would be reposted. Mine have not been. Can you investigate how my comments are being removed. One of your contributors is the spouse of a member of the opposing campaign. Would that Patch Assoc. have access to removing comments? It's a shame that freedom of speech is not respected on this venue for citizens to express their opinions.
2:50 pm on Wednesday, April 20, 2011
I as well found that statement by Mare extremely offensive. The tea party movement is about less government, fiscal responsibility. There is NO proof or evidence that they are racist. That comment needs to be removed immediately.

European investment: signs of stability in a mis-matched market29 Jul, 2009, London- European trading volumes stabilised at €11.97bn in the second quarter, 2.5% up on q1 - Volumes for the first half of the year, at €23.6bn, were 66% down on the same period of 2008 - Prime yields rose just 7bp on the quarter, the smallest quarterly increase since late 2007 - Occupier markets remain highly negative, with rents down in 26 of the 32 countries examined - However, the rate of rental decline has eased somewhat, with prime values registering a 1.9% fall on the quarter - half the loss seen in the opening 3 months of the year - Increasing investor demand is not being met by increasing supply – at least of the right space - Nonetheless, market momentum is building and an increase in activity in H2 is expected Investment Activity Investment volumes in the second quarter rose 2.5% on the first 3 months of the year, driven by increased activity by foreign buyers (up nearly 16%), in core Western markets. At €11.97bn, volumes were nonetheless just 41% of the average for 2008 and, more sobering still, only 19% of the average for the market's peak year in 2007. This stirring in activity has however been accompanied by a more stable picture for yields, with the all-sector average for Europe rising just 7bp compared to 28bp in the opening quarter. "The numbers on the market make for better reading than they did earlier this year", commented Michael Rhydderch head of the European Cross Border Capital Market Group at Cushman & Wakefield. "Although there remains a fundamental mismatch between what many buyers want and what is available for them to buy, the allure of historically high income yields is tempting increasing numbers back into the market". Average prime yields across Europe now stand at 7.52%, with Western yields (excluding the UK) averaging 6.65% versus 6.97% in the UK, 8.63% in Central Europe and 12.86% in Eastern markets. The yield differential between west and east therefore stands at 621 bp versus 423bp one year ago. Despite the opening of this yield differential, investor activity in Eastern markets remains very subdued. Across the sectors, investors are still very much focussed on core Western markets with demand most evident in markets such as the UK which have seen the most extensive pricing corrections. This is not a universal trend however and is not yet evident in Spain and many of the Nordic markets for example, where, despite a greater than average shift in yields, increased interest over recent months has yet to translate into deals, as investors await evidence that pricing is set to stabilise. "Demand is broader now than at the beginning of the year. A number of markets relied almost exclusively on domestic investors earlier this year but this past quarter has seen growing international demand from institutions and private investors" commented Rhydderch. "More of the German open-ended funds have now re-opened and are buying again and some opportunity funds are also now ready to step into the market after sitting on the sidelines for much of the past 2 years." "Equity players remain in the ascendancy and, although debt markets are slowly opening again, finance is still expensive and availability reduced. This is particularly affecting larger lot sizes, with yield premiums for property over €100mn likely to remain for some time." continued Rhydderch. Offices have been the chief beneficiary of increasing activity to date, with volumes up 30% on the opening quarter compared to a stable performance from retail and a 26% decline for industrial. Foreign buyers meanwhile took a 32.5% share of activity, down on the 43% seen in 2008 but up on the opening quarter (28.7%). Performance Trends Across Europe, prime yields rose just 7bp in the second quarter, the smallest increase since the final quarter of 2007. All sectors enjoyed a greater degree of stability, but retail more than most, with just a 4bp increase. This reflects greater faith in the low risk nature of retail, which is leading many owners to be reluctant to sell. Offices meanwhile saw a 7bp increase, while the industrial sector was hit by a more significant shift of 15 bp. Since the onset of the Credit Crunch, this takes the all-sector prime yield shift to 146bp, led by industrial (180bp), offices (168bp) and then retail (106bp). The average yield increase across Europe was held down by falls in some markets, notably the UK (in all sectors) and Norway (offices), but a number of other markets saw yields stabilising, ranging across emerging markets such as Russia and Turkey, to more mature markets such as Sweden and Germany. Those markets which saw the most marked outward shift were largely to the East however, including Bulgaria, the Baltics and the Ukraine (see figure 5) but while Central & Eastern Europe saw a more marked increase overall than the West (17bp vs 6bp), this was still a significant improvement on the average 100bp increase seen in each of the previous 2 quarters. In the occupational market, rising supply and weak demand continued to hit rental values, with an overall decline of 6.9% on June last year. Most markets and sectors did however at least see the pace of decline ease from earlier in the year, with rents falling 1.9% on the quarter compared to 3.8% in Q1. Office rents continue to lead the way down, with a 10.9% annualised fall on the quarter versus 5.6% for retail and 4.4% for industrial. With rents declining at such a rate, the impact of a slower yield increase was lost on capital values, which fell 19.4% on the year, up from -18.3% in the year to March. Again however the quarterly pattern was improved, with values falling 2.9% as against a 7.4% drop in q1 , the smallest quarterly decline for a year. The Outlook "With banks seemingly ready to slowly manage down their exposure rather than dump stock at any price, those awaiting a rash of "fire sales" may continue to be disappointed" suggested David Hutchings, Head of European Research at Cushman & Wakefield. However, together with the broad rise in demand, a slow increase in supply as investors and banks unwind their positions should lead to more activity in the second half of the year, with a current C&W estimate for total trading this year of €65bn. "Office property will remain dominant but given the risk aversion of many investors, an increase in retail activity may be seen if stock can be found. Industrial activity has been subdued meanwhile, but the pessimism of some investors may be over-done given the yields on offer and the potential for occupier demand to benefit from an economic recovery driven by trade as well as pressure on businesses to ensure they have a state of the art logistics platform." Commenting on the balance of the market, Rhydderch said "There are undoubtedly some great opportunities to buy quality property for the long term and there are too few of these available for the number of investors looking, while much of the stock available is still at too low a yield to compensate buyers for the risks they perceive. At the same time, some poorer quality property is still largely un-saleable and it could be some considerable time before that changes." Hutchings agreed. "There has been an understandable expectation that yields would over-shoot fair value but this isn't happening. Available quality supply has remained relatively limited and, alongside lower interest rates, many investors (and their banks) are happy to hold quality real estate at current yields. For higher quality assets this is understandable in light of the alternatives on offer, but for much of the rest of the market, the weakness of the letting market, the lack of debt for larger and less secure assets and the difficulty facing those needing to refinance, should signal a further rise in yields. Hence, while the correction in pricing is clearly well-advanced and has stabilised in recent months, in our opinion it still has further to run." Capital values are now down 21% in Europe, with the UK down 40% and the rest of Western Europe down 16%. "In our view, prime UK values do not have much further to fall", continued Hutchings, "but other markets may face a further 10-15% drop depending on the degree to which rents need to correct. Investors should not only focus on rental values however – with income and income security of more importance than the theoretical re-letting value. In that regard, occupancy levels are critical while the terms being agreed by landlords, such as shorter leases or increased break clauses, may also impact on values going forward." "Courtesy of its deeper re-pricing and potentially earlier economic recovery, the UK continues to offer some of the best opportunities in Europe" concluded Rhydderch. "However with yields now starting to adjust and increasing competition for a limited supply of quality stock, other markets are quickly gaining more attention, with France in favour for the risk-averse and Poland for the more return-hungry. We also believe the Nordics are likely to see increased activity in light of their stable markets, forecast economic recovery and improved pricing."

The Florida Green School Network acts as a central clearinghouse for the green school movement in the state of Florida. It was designed to recognize and support green school initiatives at the school and school district level and to aid them in adopting practices that will conserve natural resources, promote sustainability and reduce operating costs.
The Network was established in 2011 with support from Florida Power and Light. It is a partnership between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Department of Education, Florida's Foundation, Sustainable Florida and the Florida Department of Health.
In 2010-2011, more than 42,000 students, teachers and administrators participated in green school initiatives in both private and public schools alike. Many projects included recycling programs, green service learning projects, environmental education, teacher professional development projects and efforts to make school buildings and facilities more sustainable.
Many times, these projects go unnoticed; so to recognize such environmental stewardship, DEP's Office of Environmental Education began the Florida Green School Awards program. The Florida Green School Awards program has recognized exemplary green school initiatives by students, classes, teachers, and school/district administrators since the 2008-2009 school year. In the 2010-2011 school year alone, award applicants generated over $10.8 million in gross cost savings.
This year the Network is supporting the launch of the national Green Ribbon Schools Program led by the US Department of Education. Each state may nominate up to four schools that have demonstrated significant progress in achieving success in the programs three pillars: 1) environmental impact and energy efficiency, 2) healthy school environments, and 3) environmental and sustainability education.
Also in 2012, the Florida Green School Network will revise and reproduce the Florida Green School Guide in collaboration with Dream in Green for seventh graders in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. The guide will feature local green school case studies and resources and include a companion online teacher's guide.

Northampton centre Dom Waldouck believes that last season's drama at Wasps has strengthened him as a player for his new career at Saints.
The 24-year-old endured a difficult time of things with injuries at Wasps and was ruled out for the campaign in April with an Achilles problem.
Since then he has relocated to Northampton who have scored two wins in their opening two games, at Gloucester and at home to Exeter Chiefs.
Waldouck played an instrumental role in both those matches for Saints - who lost four of their first five matches last term - and he revealed he's loving the chance to focus on nothing but rugby.
"It was well-documented that there were problems on the field and off the field at Wasps last season," said Waldouck.
"And it is more enjoyable to be part of a more stable environment. I've been made to feel very welcome by the lads and I've settled in at Northampton very well.
"I have to say that people at Wasps like Dai Young were fantastic last season, kept the club going and did amazingly to keep spirits up and they achieved the goal of staying in the division. I fully expect them to be a lot higher this season.
"But at Northampton we've made a great start in terms of results and there is plenty of room for improving a number of things, starting with Bath on Friday."


text: Security has always been something of an afterthought, especially in small business environments where just getting systems up and running is more than challenging enough. The solution to that vexing problem has been to bundle security software directly into the operating system. But the problem with that approach is the security software that usually gets bundled into the operating system is rarely best in class.

Magnum Ke Tasveer in Ahmedabad
View photo details
November 7, 2012
by Magnum Photographers
Magnum Photos is delighted to once more be collaborating with Tasveer on an exhibition of photographs of India. So often India's colour and light are cited as inspiration to the photographer, but the work included here goes deeper than this surface beauty. Known for a long-term engagement with their subject matter these eight photographers, including acclaimed Indian photographer and Magnum contributor Raghu Rai, have all lived and worked in India for extended periods of time documenting its diverse and complex society.
Although not part of this selection it must be noted that Magnum's engagement with India began in its early years, with founder member Henri Cartier-Bresson's famous photographs of the last days and funeral of Gandhi in 1948. Two years later the Swiss photographer Werner Bischof traveled to India and photographed a young temple dancer for one of Magnum's earliest group projects, Generation X. Her portrait is included here amongst his selection of exquisitely composed images.
In 1959 Marilyn Silverstone was sent on a three-month assignment to India, but ended up moving to New Delhi and was based there until 1973. This exhibition features a selection of her portraits of Indian society. Included is one of the Dalai Lama, significant to Silverstone's personal story, in that she was later to become a Buddhist monk. The Iranian photographer Abbas has returned many times to India as part of his exploration of global religions. His selection includes images of pilgrimage and meditation.
Bruno Barbey's colour and Scianna's bold black and white photographs capture the ebb and flow of Indian street life in the 1980s. A master of colour and light Steve McCurry's photography is strongly associated with this part of the world. Notable not just for their vibrant palate, his portraits employ the direct gaze of the subject to create an immediate engagement with the viewer. One of Magnum's youngest members, Olivia Arthur, joined Magnum in 2008. Now an associate, she is represented here by a series of portraits of the Ramani sect, a group of untouchables whose unique tattoos are a form of protest against the Indian cast system.
This selection offers an introduction to Magnum's rich archive and ongoing engagement with India through the eyes of eight Magnum photographers, the careers of whom span the agency's past, present and promise for the future.

Did you know every admissions counselor has a unique approach to reviewing college applications? Admissions counselors also read every word of your application – including the essays.
At the University of Michigan, Erica Sanders, director of recruitment and operations, reviews student academics before reading the essays. Ted Spencer, associate vice provost and executive director of the university's undergraduate admissions, has a different application review style.
"I start with the academics first; then I read the essays to validate the application," Sanders said. "Ted takes the opposite approach. He reads the essays first."
Wow Writing Workshop spent four days last week in Denver, CO, talking to admissions experts, doing product demos for Wow Online – College Essay, meeting and getting to know high school and independent school counselors from the U.S., Canada and abroad, and chatting with educational consultants.
The Wow team interviewed representatives from many colleges, including the Big 10, the Ivy League, plus other private and public universities. We got a lesson in what goes on inside these colleges. Here are some general tips:
1) Don't waste time trying to figure out the complex system of any university; do not listen to rumors. (Don't apply; you won't get in; a kid with a perfect ACT score and high GPA didn't get into a particular school.)
2) Grades are the most important factor in admission, followed by rigor of coursework, test scores, degree of class difficulty and then the essays.
3) Essays – the first non-academic item on the list of importance for admission – are more significant than you may think.
"We read each writing opportunity," U of M's Sanders said during a panel discussion on the college essay. "We want to put it in context with what we see academically. We want it to be specific, different, something we can't find elsewhere on your application.
"We don't have the ability to interview students," Sanders added. "We want to hear their voice. As I am reading at 11, 12 or even 1 a.m., I want to read something that stands out, something that says, 'Wow, this is a student I want to meet.' "
Jessie Hill, an admissions officer from Yale University, was also a panelist during the essay session. She said students need to write stories that show who they are without being over-edited.
"The danger in having too many red pens is that it is diluted and does not sound like a 17-year-old," Hill said.
Kim Lifton is president of Wow Writing Workshop, which just launched Wow Online – College Essay, the first self-guided online tutorial for college application essay writing.

My daughter wrote her "diversity" essay to U of M on how she would bring absolutely zero diversity to the campus, as a white, middle class kid from Macomb County. (It was the only way to answer the STUPID question...)
She got in anyway. I don't think they read her essay.
