Generally a whole Lotta developments in the race for the white house with -- 89 days to go until the election if -- downing and we what do you kind of -- on the action today.
The president and governor Romney both are on the road the president once again in Colorado.
Right now he's getting ready for a campaign event in buffalo.
Colorado is an all important battleground state there's nine electoral votes up for grabs they are very important -- And Colorado the real clear politics polling average -- -- super close race there are right now the president -- governor Romney.
By a little more than a points.
And meantime the Republican presidential candidate is in New York City today hot on the money trail attending a series.
-- big fundraisers New York has 29 electoral votes it is not a battleground state in back to see if we're gonna -- it is is for her is we look at these polls from real clear politics average -- well.
And the president is well ahead of governor Ronnie they're leading him roughly 58 to thirty -- been going Democrat I the last several years at least.
Now all this comes amid growing controversy.
A race super pac ad that essentially blames governor Romney's business dealings for a woman's death.
Women -- remain closed -- I lost my health care yeah.
In my family lost their health care and now.
Short time after that my wife became ill.
Joining us now -- crystal during the weekly standard and of proxies political analysts have -- lot of different opinions about this -- over the last -- four hours I like to ask your question about strategy.
Why now why -- the super -- released this ad now in the campaign.
Well I think they think these tax a big capital -- having some residents and they're testing the limits of how far they can go and to try to see what kind of reaction they get from the mainstream media -- kind of reaction they get from the Romney campaign.
-- -- they can call Mitt Romney a murderer and basically get away with it -- -- and I think they are.
I hope not I hope not but I think the Romney campaign really needs to make this unacceptable.
And not simply say oh GS very fortunate to Mitt Romney's four of about a health care system this is really beyond the pale and President Obama needs to -- that.
And I think Mitt Romney should not only call on President Obama to ask that it be taken off the air but really.
You don't think seriously about making a much bigger issue about.
What kind of campaign President Obama supporters are running I mean this really is beyond any pay -- I've been around presidential campaigns is a lot of kind of slightly below the belt punches and that kind of thing that this is this is really -- new.
Since you were -- is defending it Bill Burton guy that runs as you were packed.
I just said just yesterday that this is part of its -- million dollar ad buy -- a lot about ground stays that's their plan right now anyways -- we'll see what happens over the next.
Couple hours spent you know it's not just the states that could be running this -- obviously the national media as well we just ran a part of that so.
Could things really gaining from this right now is it.
Is it -- Romney or is it the president.
I think that's very much we determined you know one would wish that -- and and a nice world of fairness and justice if you -- below the belt that -- really outrageous that this personal unjustified attack on the arms of someone.
You would pay a price for it but in the real world -- -- someone calls you want it let's someone hits back.
And -- somewhat serious stands up and says it will Mr.
President are you.
You -- you OK with this that do you think Bill Burton worked -- bill -- a close associate of -- -- if you're.
Campaign manager David Axelrod is this fine with you -- -- some serious people stand up and say that and save -- some indignation and some anger.
That I think they could get away with that and Mitt Romney needs to show a little bit angry here you know -- candidates are always -- be disciplined.
Be calm cool and collected that's what voters -- as the president.
Well I think if someone accuses you of murdering someone.
You're entitled to be a little outraged and -- already -- -- from hair.
I really don't know you know but if I think if they get away with this.
Unfortunately you know voters tend to look and say I don't know maybe there's some truth to that it is is that how heartless he wasn't in the as a capitalist is not care about people.
He really needs to defend himself his people sorry to -- to get out there defend himself.
And I don't think this is the case we could have some staff that's -- -- hero staffers about -- -- Mitt Romney is a good guy of his health care plan would actually take care of this.
You need serious people out there you need -- Chris Christie.
Or four riot out there saying this is wholly unacceptable and this plainly unacceptable even mention those names now because you're gonna talk a little bit about the vice presidential pick which is something that a lot of folks are talking about and you -- -- the weekly standard.
As well and the names have been mentioned at least right now senator Portman from Ohio -- governor -- from Minnesota.
But you also have Paul Ryan getting back since the -- here congressman Paul Ryan a Wisconsin in the Wall Street Journal had this to say.
About Paul Ryan today -- want to share this with -- -- get your thoughts and you can pull up that full screen for everybody to see that quote this is not is gonna be a different talents go ahead of what the full screen.
The Wall Street Journal says -- it all you can hear the murmurs of the ultimate Washington insults.
That mr.
Ryan is too dangerous because he -- politics is about things that matter.
That did -- really believes in something.
And we certainly can't have that all of -- highly recommend Tim for the job when you think about that bill as part Ryan got.
I think he could be should be very seriously considered Steve pays -- -- this a few days ago it's good that the Wall Street Journal.
On board if you -- -- run a serious forward looking positive campaign we have a choice ahead we're going off a cliff we're going bankrupt.
We need the right policies to fix this.
Paul Ryan is the right VP choice I mean I think he's the best national legislator Republicans have is the intellectual leader of Republicans in Washington.
Mitt Romney should pick him -- the alternatives I think marker rubio and incredibly talented.
A young politician and I do think Chris Christie -- come back into the mix in the last few days.
I think -- and Christie are the two bowl picks that are now.
-- -- With the two safer picks Rob Portman and Tim Pawlenty -- and I gotta say this add to said -- I think helps make the case for Christie and they're gonna run this kind of campaign against.
Against that Ronnie who do you want by your side defending you -- right of the great.
Chris Christie would be even greater I think -- Chris Christie would be a tough guy to have flat out what Chris Christie with me for getting -- -- -- fight.
I think Chris Christie could bring a pretty big -- and wouldn't be too hesitant about -- yet again tonight fights frequently about the -- just change our conversation.
And I'm definitely I would I would draw that metaphor and I don't think it's fair to -- the -- doesn't do knife fights either but.
He's a Bulldog let's let it go to a dog Matta for an out of life metaphor is visible -- -- maybe you ought to Bulldog -- -- -- -- Let me just bring it interests if this ad changes any -- changes the dynamics and after the race where it could affect decisions like that.
As one of the reasons we're taking a closer look today shall see what happens over the next several days and weeks bell.
Be careful of this nice fights were watching you -- Alex thank the next time.

Since the first edition of this work in 1999, the pace of social policy change and innovation at the level of the European Community has increased dramatically. Indeed, developments during the past three years are little short of remarkable, with particularly important advances in relation to the promotion of information, consultation and participation for workers, along with growing concern for several much broader social policy issues.
Recognition of the changes in emphasis and scale for European social policy, and the presence of substantially more material to be included, have caused this edition of the work to be divided into two volumes. Volume I covers social dialogue, industrial relations and labour law, while Volume II is concerned with a wide range of material touching "dignity at work" in the European Community.
The arrangement of the material in two self-contained volumes also reflects a division of convenience. Thus, those whose main focus is upon the "labour law" aspects of European social policy may choose to utilise primarily the material contained in the first volume, while those who wish to concentrate more particularly upon fundamental social rights, equal opportunities, anti-discrimination, and dignity at work might wish to take advantage of the framework presented in the second volume.
Advocates, judges, policy-makers, scholars and students will all appreciate this essential sourcebook in EC labour law and social policy.
Preface Tables Volume I Labour Law and Social Policy: The Treaties and Agreements Developing Social Dialogue at the European Level The Development of Social Policy Through the Action Programmes Free Movement of Workers and the Provision of Services Information, Consultation and Participation for Workers Labour Law and Working Conditions

It was a mystery that Panama's president said his country was struggling to solve.
What was the massive military equipment hidden under hundreds of thousands of sacks of brown sugar on a North Korean boat? Where did it come from? And where was it going before investigators seized the vessel near the Panama Canal?
Hours after Panama said it would ask U.S. and British officials for help solving the puzzle, Cuba gave an answer Tuesday night.
In addition to 10,000 tons of sugar, Cuba's Foreign Ministry said, the shipment contained "240 metric tons of obsolete defensive weapons" sent to North Korea "to be repaired and returned to Cuba."
The equipment was manufactured in the mid-20th century and included two anti-aircraft missile systems, nine missiles in parts and spares, two MiG-21 jets and 15 motors for this type of airplane, the foreign ministry said.
"The agreements subscribed by Cuba in this field are supported by the need to maintain our defensive capacity in order to preserve national sovereignty," the statement said. "The Republic of Cuba reiterates its firm and unwavering commitment with peace, disarmament, including nuclear disarmament, and respect for international law."
Because it is pursuing nuclear weapons, North Korea is banned by the United Nations from importing and exporting most weapons.
The Cuban government's revelation, read on state television, is the latest chapter in an international drama that has all the elements of a thriller: a violent confrontation on a detained ship, missiles hidden onboard, a heart attack and an attempted suicide.
Panamanian authorities spotted the shipment during an anti-drug inspection late Monday.
Few details of the confrontation were available, but the ship's North Korean crew of 35 resisted inspection and arrest for days, said Panama's security minister, Jose Raul Mulino. He described it as "violent," saying that the crew tried to sabotage the ship by cutting cables on the cranes that would be used to unload cargo.
As it is, Mulino said, authorities now have to remove 255,000 sacks of brown sugar by hand.
During the struggle with Panamanian authorities, the ship's captain suffered an apparent heart attack and then tried to kill himself, according to President Ricardo Martinelli.
The crew also refused to raise the ship's anchor, Mulino said, forcing Panamanian authorities to cut the anchor loose to move the ship.
Panama's public ministry ordered the crew's detention, and authorities have since spoken with crew members about their travel plans. Crew members said they had left Cuba and headed toward Panama, aiming to arrive in North Korea in 51 days.
As authorities inspected the vessel, the situation was intriguing enough that Martinelli himself traveled to the ship to take a look -- with reporters in tow.
Is it a missile? a reporter asked.
"Maybe," Martinelli said. "I am not familiar with that, but it would be good if such things didn't pass through Panama, which is a country that loves peace and not war."
The president tweeted a photo of what he saw: a green octagon-shaped tube with a cone at its end and a similar-looking piece of equipment behind it.
Late Tuesday night, Mulino said the Cuban government's detailed announcement describing the military equipment had caught Panamanian officials by surprise.
Investigators have only combed through one of the ship's five compartments, he said. They are asking the United States and the United Kingdom to send teams to help them identify the weapons, and will invite a special commission from the United Nations to determine whether the shipment violates the organization's North Korea weapons ban.
Even with many unanswered questions, Mulino said, the Cuban government's statement explains one thing.
"Now we clearly understand the suicidal attitude of the captain," he said, "and the rebellion and the rioting of the crew."
U.N. official: 'We are following it closely'
Earlier Tuesday, a spokeswoman for the U.N. secretary-general said Panama had not officially reported the incident to the United Nations. If that happens, a U.N. panel of experts would review the incident.
"If it is confirmed that the vessel was carrying arms or related materiel and that the shipment was part of a purchase or sale to or from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, then there would indeed be a breach of the U.N. sanctions regime relating to that country," spokeswoman Morana Song said.

Water workouts are easy on the joints and beneficial to the entire body and mind. While the buoyancy of water can make you feel light and relaxed, don't let the calm water fool you. Pool moves can blast calories, increase heart rate and boost muscle strength. Add a pool workout to your routine with these tips:
Try an aerobics class. Many fitness facilities now have aqua classes in their group fitness schedule. Circuit classes and boot camps are offered in the pool using tools like Styrofoam dumbbells, noodles, resistance tubing and medicine balls. (Yes, medicine balls float in water.) Your gym may even have the latest fitness craze, Aqua Zumba, an in-water dance party that offers a more intense, full body workout.
Getting started. If you are going to create your own workout, hit your local gym pool or community pool and stand in chest deep water. Get your body warm with easy jogging, then create your own cardio drills alternating with strength exercises:
- Cardio drills: Try jogging from one side of the pool to the other in shallow water or tread water in the deep end. Calisthenics like jumping jacks and jump squats will be much easier on your body in the water, but will still increase your heart rate.
- Strength exercises: If you have a resistance band or any other floatable tools, preform the same exercises in the water that you do on land. The tempo may be slower due to the viscosity of the water.
Swim laps. If you are looking for a break from impact cardio exercise like running and jumping, then add a day or two of swimming laps to your routine. Swimming is a great cardio workout that will increase your heart rate while yielding no stress to the joints and bones.

After finishing the roads and the canal tiles (the T-intersection didn't come out as well as the rest of the canal tiles - due to me being lazy and putting Vallejo Water Effects directly onto the printed tile itself without coating it with PVA glue first as I did with the other canal tiles).
Note: This is not the final version and doesn't contain everything I intend to put on the final board. It's just more of a check of what I still need to do and whether the pieces match with the stuff I had created previously.
Sets used: Himmelveil Streets, Himmelveil Canals, Thoumonts. And no, this isn't how the WWG tiles originally look. The PDFs have been modified ("kitbashed") in GIMP to create the 3D effect, don't expect to get instructions to do this kind of stuff when you buy the files, although the people at WWG forums are eager to help if you want to create something similar.

Maverick - I really like this. I can imagine a free-spirited boy who loves the beach and surfing.
Benton - I can see the appeal, and really like the accessibility to the nickname Ben, but in the end, I like Benjamin better.
Dane - I think of Great Dane dogs; I prefer the name Dante.

Dane - I know a boy named Dane and it fits him really well and I think it's a great name
Jude - I really love this one. Jude the Obscure is a great book and I like the Biblical connection as well.
Benton - I like this. I prefer Bennett myself, but I do like this. Benedict is also cool
Maverick - this one is a little silly to me. I understand the appeal, but it sorta feels a tad....pompous or chauvinistic or something. Like naming your child "Chuck Norris" or Rebel.

Maverick - While its cool, I'd only put it in the middle spot, if at all. I used to have Evan Maverick on my list. Also, nn Merick is cool.
Benton - I agree with the others. It is nice, but I'd rather have Bennett. Benton is kinda choppy.
Dane - Much prefer Dante or Daniel. But Dane is short and sweet.
Jude - This is handsome and simple. Another short and sweet name but I like it better than Dane.
I suppose my favorite would be Jude Maverick or Dane Bennett

Some trading systems may not work in the time it takes to execute trades manually and system designers may wonder why actual performance does not match their testing results. The problem may not be with the strategy, they simply may have designed/optimized a strategy too complex and fast to execute without greater automation.
At that point they can scrap their system or go all in by automating their trade execution. The key is first to create a solid design that anticipates potential issues or problems and then to create a testing plan that covers anything you can anticipate.
One of the major benefits of good trade execution software is the ability to act on signals 24 hours a day without having a human involved to pick up the phone or go online to input the trade information. The trade execution software generates the trade instruction to the futures commission merchant (FCM) and then handles the resulting responses appropriately, only alerting the trader if there are issues with the trades or unexpected results.
This frees up the trader to work on optimization, creating additional strategies or other business responsibilities. The trader would get involved only if an alert was generated by the trade execution software. It is a lot of work to develop good trade execution software, but in the long run the automation of this process should free up time for the trader. The question really comes down to, can you generate a return on your investment? In this case, time is invested in creating the trade execution software and then free time is generated by not requiring human intervention in the trading process.
An additional benefit to automating this process is a reduction in errors. Because the trade execution instructions are transmitted electronically to the FCM there is no chance of an error because of a miscommunication on the phone with your broker, someone making a fat fingered error or reversing a buy vs. sell order. However, the potential for bugs in the system can create bigger problems (see "Bugs happen, have back-up systems," last page).
Automating the trade execution process can be a very big step and will require careful design and planning. Start out with a conversation with your FCM. Get their published specifications. Ask them for references of other traders who are using their automated trade execution platform. How reliable and responsive is the FCM's platform? What happens in the event that their platform is down or inaccessible? What are their disaster recovery procedures? Do they have a separate disaster recovery site that can be used in the event that the main production site is inaccessible?
Next, take a look at your hardware infrastructure. To properly monitor the trade execution software, you may need to purchase additional hardware, software and monitoring tools. By setting up the proper hardware infrastructure, you can minimize the risk that the automated trader would be down and no one would know about it. "Getting on the same page," (below) shows how the automated trader would be responsible for checking on the connection to the FCM and reporting a "heartbeat" to the database.
Monitoring your vital signs
The monitoring/alerting hardware would then check on the heartbeat in the database to ensure that the automated trader is active and functioning. The monitoring/alerting hardware also would write a heartbeat to the database and the automated trader would similarly check on this heartbeat to make sure the monitoring hardware was running. If either the monitoring/alerting hardware or the automated trader hardware does not detect the proper heartbeat then an alert would be sent to the human trader that something was wrong. Both the automated trader and the monitoring/alerting hardware generate a positive alert or heartbeat to the database saying "Hey, I am up and running and this is the last date/time I checked in."
Also, both machines check the heartbeat of the other machine to make sure the last time the other machine checked in was less than a user-defined number of seconds or minutes. This triangular monitoring will reduce the risk that the automated trader is not functioning without an alert
being generated.
To complete the hardware infrastructure, several environments may be needed. In addition to the production environment, there also should be a quality assurance environment for user testing and implementation of code changes. A disaster recovery environment also should be set up in a separate location with separate connections to the FCM in the event of a disaster that disables the primary production environment.
Building the system
Now it is time to start planning what functions the automated trading software will perform. Is the automated trader going to generate market or limit orders? How will the software handle partial fills? How long should the software wait for execution before the order is cancelled or a human trader is alerted? The easy part is to design software that can send an instruction to the FCM and then receive a response for the full trade. The hard part is to design software that can handle the variety of responses or non-responses that can happen. Every step of the process should be recorded in the database so that if there are issues, the trade instructions and execution can be reconstructed to see what happened.
During the design phase of the software, policies should be established on how to control the source code. How often is the code going to be backed up? Where is it going to be stored? Once a version is put into production, a complete copy of the source code for that version should be saved permanently. How are versions going to be numbered and controlled? How is the software going to be documented? A full-blown user manual is probably not necessary, but some documentation will be essential in understanding the evolution of the software and help with resolving design issues once you get into production. Some thought should be given to the release process as well. Once the code is in a production environment, how are future versions going to be implemented?
The coding phase of the software development is fairly straightforward. During the coding phase, the users should work to develop a comprehensive testing plan. Testing should include basic straightforward tests of the functionality as well as testing corner cases even if there is a very low probability of the corner case actually happening in production. Discovering how the software handles the corner cases often can lead to fixes and improvements that help even the most straightforward of processes. The software should be able to trap communication and network errors to provide alerts when things go bump.
Software bugs or errors are preventable with a good testing plan, but even the best testing plan may miss unanticipated events. Manually monitoring the software, particularly in the early stages of production, is essential for the user to get comfortable that the software is working as expected. Also, manual monitoring can lead to process improvements or enhancements that take care of the unanticipated events. If possible, run in production against the FCM's test or demo system for a period of time to get comfortable with the process. Once comfortable with the test or demo system, switch to live trading with a small account to make sure the live system behaves like the test system. Once live, a combination of manual monitoring and a good alert process should enable a smooth operating environment freeing the trader up for more important tasks.
Now that a production version of the system is running, there needs to be a process for implementing changes and enhancements. Changes and enhancements to the software should be released first to the quality assurance environment, thoroughly tested by the users and then formally "accepted" by the users prior to being placed into production. Users should create a document of their testing scenarios and screen print or otherwise document the results of their testing. If possible, the quality assurance environment should be linked to the FCM's demo system so that a complete production-like test can be undertaken by the users. The developer and users should work together to come up with "release notes" that are additions to the documentation and contain information on what is being updated or changed with each release. The testing plan should be modified with each release to make sure the new versions of the software are tested completely.
This entire process will take careful planning, quite a bit of time and a dedication to making the software work. But, in the end, the entire organization will be stronger because of this ability to automatically execute trades without human intervention. The traders can focus more energy on creating systems that produce profits and less time worrying about the task of executing trades with the FCM. Also, if designed properly, additional FCMs could easily be supported giving the organization a greater ability to service their clients.
Bugs happen, have back-up systems
Even the best design, coding, testing and implementation can have issues. For example, the authors' automated trading program experienced a bug in its trading process that affected its risk management exits after running successfully with no glitches for nearly a year of live trading. Fortunately only one account was impacted, but over a four-day period this account lost about $30,000, more than half of its equity. The bug in the program was corrected, and additional alerting was put in place to notify the trader should similar issues arise.
It is important to be creative and thorough when designing the software and particularly the alerting/monitoring process. While the specific bug was corrected, it is important to have additional safeguards. If your automated system limits risk to a specific percent per trade and has an overall exposure limit (as was the case here), a separate alert should be set to alert the trader immediately to a breach in any of these parameters.
Also, while automating your system frees up time, you still need to monitor your trading daily to make sure nothing unusual has happened.

Similar changes have been made in central offices throughout Nassau County. C. T. Smith, acting general manager of the company's Nassau Area, inspects the job. Republic Sales and Earnings " Affected By Strike' Republic Aviation Corporation today reported consolidated sales of $ 134,550,663 and net income of $ 2,730,062, equal to $. 95 per share on the capital stock, for the first six months of 1962. In the same period of 1961 sales were $ 172,228,431 and net income $ 5,187,283, equal to $ 1.79 per share. Mundy I. Peale, president, pointed out to stockholders in the regular six month statement that the company's sales and earnings had been markedly affected by the 11- week strike by the five unions representing 9,000 production workers. As a result, he said. Republic had fallen behind in deliveries of the F- 105D fighter-bomber. Currently, the company's backlog of orders amounts to $ 623 million with production of the F- 105D, Peale said. The backlog includes, in addition to the F- 105, major subcontracts for the F- 110 fighter- bomber and contracts with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration received during die past three months. He said the company had recently received another contract for plasma space engines, diis one from die Air Force for use in flight test programs. Since 1959 Republic has received more man $ 1.5 million in contracts from various government agencies for work in this revolutionary area. The Republic official pointed out that the company planned capital expenditures of $ 13 million for new equipment and expanded research facilities in support of activity in the space area and in advanced manned- aircraft pro-% grams. Kiwanis Challenge With CO Test The Kiwanis Club of Farming-dale has issued a challenge to the citizenry with what they call a * CQ' program, ( see page 12). The so- called " Citizenship Quotient" test will allow one to compare one's citizenship accomplishments with one's citizenship potentials, according to the announcement. Just as IQ stands for " Intelligence Quotient" so does CQ stand for " Citizenship Quotient." The test is simple, Kiwanis states. All one has to do is to compare his citizenship accomplishments with his citizenship potential. When an individual takes this measurement, he will then be more likely motivated to be a better citizen than a man who does not. All it takes is motivation. CQ leaflets may be obtained at the Farmingdale Public Library, Farmingdale Post Office, The First National Bank orThe Franklin National Bank Office.

School District # 22 may expect ' the best school bus transportation system in the State of New York", this fall, according to a report made to the Board of Education Monday night at a Special Meeting by Rudolph Martorella, President of the Long Island Bus Company Inc. The firm was awarded a three year contract as the lowest qualified bidder this April. The report came as good news by parents of alleged violations - -- committees were formed last February by citizens and by the East Memorial PTA and a Transportation Committee was formed by die Board of Education, to probe die cause of die school bus transportation deficiencies. ( The OBSERVER carried detailed exposes and editorial suggestions). The Board of Education also alerted botii die Nassau and Suffolk County Police Departments to give tickets to bus drivers for vehicular violations. A temporary emergency solution was reached by die Board on February 21 mat die District would lease from two to six buses, on a day to day basis and die financial expenditure would be turned over to die bus contractor and or its surety company. This unprecedented move was taken ' ' In view of die numerous failures to satisfactorily transport District pupils at specified times". Following the ticketing of school buses in neighboring District # 23 by the Nassau County Police, a citizens bus committee was formed to assist die Board of Education on possible solutions. The Massapequa Board resolved to cut out bus transportation for those children who fell within District # 23* s legal walking limits by obtaining police crossing guards for dangerous intersections. This action caused an uproar by many parents, and die picketing of schools. However, die voters failed to pass a referendum on May 2 to expend additional sums for a contract to supply sufficient buses for a shorter distance. A petition to die State Education Department a group resulted in a decision upholding die Board of Education' to cut out school bus transportation for diose children living within die legal walking distance, but who in the past had been transported, due to hazardous road conditions. Meanwhile, on March 31, a record turnout of District # 22 voters approved a referendum to increase a bus contract from one to five years and turned down a proposition for die purchase of district - owned buses and the construction for a garage. This . July, It was learned diat die same Star Bus Co. which had last year supplied die bus transportation in both Districts # 22 and # 23 had sold out, due in part it was learned to die ' problems" in Massapequa and Farmingdale. ( Editors Note) The contract was awarded to die Long Island Bus Co., as die lowest qualified bidder at $ 6,975 per full time bus. The contract was let, with die Board of Education supplying die gasoline, which could be purchased at die State Contract low price of 11 cents per gallon, saving the Disd- ict about $ 12,000 per year, according to Jack Zutt, School Business Manager. A second bid came in at $ 7,100 per bus from die Brothers Coach Company. as to the Board since busing children was one of die major problems during the past school year. ( The Observer was first to report violations and infractions of bus vehicles supplied by anotiier firm last year). Among the good tidings was die report that new buses would be used in the district this coming year; diat die new buses would have extra safety equipment such as safety padding on the seats extra rub rails on die exterior and additional heaters; die buses would be equipped widi radio communications equipment for greater efficiency; that diey would be housed and serviced at a nearby garage, built by die firm, in order to better service die district; diat the firm was already on die job, with dispatchers checking out routes and bus stops for safety and efficiency and that a staff safety consultant will be maintained who will be responsible for driver performance. 28 new buses have already been delivered it was learned. 15 more would arrive by August 6; 12 more on August 13 and die remainder on August 20di. The first 25 buses were being used to transport youngsters to summer day camp programs and diat when die next batch arrived diey would be used " in order to iron out any bugs" and to complete the first 1000 mile checkup before the beginning of die school year. President A. Terry Weadiers commented diat some - were being used for Farmingdale Youdi Council transportation this summer and die service was most satisfactory. This diought was also corroborated by a member of the Farmingdale Youdi Council who spoke about die dependability and die courtesy of die bus drivers. Mr. Martorella reported diat he was pleased diat most of the bus driver positions hadbeenfilled and that there were only a few more positions open. He reported mat the garage under construction, would be completed shortly after Labor Day. He said that he believed this garage would be the ' finest school bus garage in the State." He told diis reporter later, " that mere would be an open house when It was completed and diat die facilities would be open to die general public. He had also stated to die Board diat an inspection of school buses was always open and available to die public. It was learned diat die bus routes were being planned with alternates to serve the new St. Killan's and Our Lady of Lourdes Parochial schools if they were completed, as anticipated, to transport the children to Farmingdale Public Schools, if they were not. This year, as a result of vehicle violations, incidents such as die rollaway bus at East Memorial in January and delays in transportation service, due to buses becoming inoperative, and reports

Thursday, Governor Cuomo headlined a fundraiser for the state Democratic Party, at the same time that Cuomo has ramped up talk for reforming the way campaigns are funded in New York. Our Nick Reisman has more.
NEW YORK STATE -- The state's notoriously lax campaign finance laws and their sky-high donor limits haven't been overhauled in years. But after a bill to introduce a taxpayer-funded campaign system failed this legislative session, Governor Andrew Cuomo says he's taking a second look at the issue.
"The challenge with campaign finance is it's not a high enough on the priority list for the people. When the assemblyman goes home and when the senator goes home, they're not hearing enough in the supermarket about why didn't you pass campaign finance," Cuomo said on Tuesday.
Cuomo, this week, described a strategy similar to his successful push for legalizing same-sex marriage: Get the various advocacy groups to coordinate with one message and conduct a public information campaign.
"There has to be a public education campaign," Cuomo said. "That means you have to take a very esoteric topic that is confusing and technical and explain it to the people to get political support up. That is what's we're going to undertake to do."
Bill Mahoney, an analyst with the New York Public Interest Research Group, says there's a basic understanding of what needs to get done in changing the system for the better.
"I think all the good government groups are on the same page on this issue. We've all said for years there should lower limits. There should be bans on housekeeping money to political parties and we also think you should find a way to encourage small donors through a way such as a public financing system," Mahoney said.
Of course, the governor himself has benefitted from the current campaign laws. After talking to press about the problems with money in politics on Tuesday, he attended a $20,000-a-ticket fundraiser in New York City. With all the record amounts of cash being raised this election cycle, reformers say people will be spurred to demand changes.
Mahoney said, "We'll have to see how he finds a way to make this agreeable to the Senate Republicans, but hopefully there will be enough public pressure after everybody sees the outsized influence of Super PACs at elections of every level."

The idea of copyright, originally conceived as a means of protecting the right of individual authors to fair compensation for their work, has undergone a sea change in recent decades. It is now frequently invoked to safeguard the profits of corporate marketers of widely-used media and software products, and in this context has given rise to a surprising new conflict: the collision of copyright and human rights.
Copyright and Human Rights is the first comprehensive analysis of this emerging nexus of legal issues. In eight incisive essays, well-known authorities in both copyright law and human rights law present in-depth analysis and discussion of such essential topics as the following:
In the years to come, more and more lawyers will be confronted with issues involving the interaction of intellectual property and human rights. As a groundbreaking work focusing on the copyright aspect, Copyright and Human Rights will be seen as a cornerstone of the debate. Practitioners, academics and policymakers in both fields will immediately recognize its value as a springboard to the informed future development of this new and crucial area of legal theory and practice.

United Way of the Lowcountry
If you like to read, we have opportunities abounding! Our Early Grade Reading Program, currently employed in seven elementary schools in Beaufort and Jasper counties, has open positions for both volunteers and AmeriCorps members.
If you haven't heard about EGR, last year's inaugural program was a success, deploying nearly 200 volunteers in local schools and reaching over 150 students who participated in the program. In fact, students at St. Helena Elementary, Joseph Shanklin Elementary, Hilton Head Early Childhood Center, Hilton Head School for the Creative Arts, and Pritchardville Elementary had a 97% success rate in increasing their reading scores in MAP testing. Students in Hardeeville Elementary and Ridgeland Elementary saw a similar 98% increase in test scores!
Following up on this success, United Way of the Lowcountry was recently awarded a federal AmeriCorps grant to create greater tutoring capacity for the Early Grade Reading initiative in Beaufort and Jasper County schools for the 2013-2014 school year.
Specifically, and in addition to our traditional volunteers for this program, the grant provides funding for 41 new AmeriCorps members to serve as tutors, mentors and resource support for the program. As such, we are currently seeking applicants to the AmeriCorps program.
