It comes as no surprise that social influence impacts upon sales both online and offline. Ecommerce success, especially in the business consumer area, is determined in part whether the consumer trusts a seller and product they can't see or touch.
Retailers understand this importance, which has been outlined within the recent IT in Retail 2013 report. The report analysed the IT strategies of 150 top UK retailers, which represents sales of £203bn and 70% of the UK market.
It's now been the second consecutive year where ecommerce has taken over spending on store systems. From the report it became apparent that ecommerce has now become their number one priority.

State aid to North Jersey towns flat under Christie budget
Related: North Jersey proposed municipal aid by town
The state will increase spending by more than $1 billion under Governor Christie's proposed budget, but North Jersey towns and most others across the state that faced additional costs after superstorm Sandy will get no additional aid to help hold down property taxes.
Total state aid for municipalities again remained flat in the $32.9 billion budget Christie put forward this week, and town-by-town aid figures released by the administration on Wednesday show that in Bergen and Passaic counties, no community is seeing an increase.
Municipal officials were not surprised but were upset nevertheless to be getting the identical aid payment they received last year from Trenton, even as their costs continue to go up.
"When it's flat, that's just wrong," Ridgewood Mayor Paul Aronsohn said. "This is taxpayers' money that goes to Trenton, and they decide how much we get back. Flat sounds good, but the fact is, it is a decrease in state aid."
Bergenfield Borough Administrator Frederick McGarril said his town is just "treading water."
"The state manages to keep taking more and more from us every year, and they give us the same amount of state aid," he said.
In Englewood Cliffs, Mayor Joseph Parisi said his town doesn't rely on state aid because it "has dropped to virtually nothing."
Hillsdale Mayor Max Arnowitz said local officials had to spend down surplus to handle expenses brought on by Sandy.
"I don't know what we're going to do," he said.

Summary: Introduction to the concept of arbitrary rate resampling.
Though we have derived a computationally efficient polyphase
resampler for rational factors
Say that our goal is to produce the
We know that, at time index
Assume an ideal
Thus, we have found suitable
Note that our structure refers to polyphase filters
Finally, it should be mentioned that a more sophisticated interpolation could be used, e.g., Lagrange interpolation involving more than two branch outputs. By making the interpolation more accurate, fewer polyphase filters would be necessary for the same overall performance, reducing the storage requirements for polyphase filter taps. On the other hand, combining the outputs of more branches requires more computations per output point. Essentially, the different schemes tradeoff between storage and computation.

Thousands of incoming kindergarten through third-grade students began learning on Friday whether they received an offer from one of 89 gifted and talented programs in the New York City public schools.
Officials from the Education Department said that of the 7,562 students who applied, 5,486 -- or 73 percent -- received an offer at one of the programs. The admissions notifications came by e-mail or by regular post, depending on how parents applied. The Education Department did not yet have a breakdown of numbers by geographic district Friday afternoon.
But the number of students who received an offer represents only 41 percent of the total number of students eligible. This school year, 13,508 students received a high enough score to qualify for a gifted and talented program. Among incoming kindergarteners, nearly 5,000 children qualified -- a 22 percent increase from last year.
There are two tiers of gifted and talented programs: citywide, for students who score in the very top on two exams, and district programs for students who score at or above the 90th percentile. The citywide programs are the most competitive.
Not all families whose children are eligible choose to apply, especially if they already paid to guarantee a seat in a private school.
Schools Chancellor Dennis M. Walcott told parents last month that the city would try to add seats to gifted and talented programs to accommodate more students. But he said the Education Department was restricted in its ability to do so because of limited school capacity.
The department uses a lottery system to determine which students get into what programs. The roughly 2,000 students who did not get in become part of a pool of families who may be contacted if spaces open up. Families who received an offer but decline because they prefer another program can also become part of that pool.
The deadline for families to accept or decline offers is June 5.

Do the Windows Open?
Julie Hecht - Author
Do the Windows Open? is a series of hilarious linked tales documenting the mania of the modern day in devastating detail-tales that have had readers of The New Yorker laughing out loud for years.
The beguiling and alienated narrator-who finds nearly everything interesting and almost nothing clear-has set herself the never-ending goal of photographing a world-renowned reproductive surgeon, Walden Pond, the ponds of Nantucket, and all the houses Anne Sexton ever lived in. On the way, she searches for organically grown vegetables, windows that open, and an endodontist who acts like a normal person. She sometimes compares herself unfavorably to Jacqueline Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and Princess Diana. What emerges is a unique sensibility under siege. This is a remarkably original literary performance, one that speaks to anyone looking for the refuge laughter offers from life in an absurd world. |

Comments: I am extremely pleased with this product. I'm usually not a fan of "all in one" products in this hobby. They rarely do what they claim but this one has worked very well. I've tried salifert's all in one but it doesn't maintain proper alkalinity at all (and also doesn't have any magnesium). I've used "one" for just over 2 weeks and all 3 parameters are still right where I want them. The water clouds up pretty heavily when you use it but it clears up completely in about an hour I'll post an update in about 6 months.
Comments: I used a calcium reactor for 3 years and then I started using DIY 2-part about 1 year ago. But polyp labs one is by far the most convenient calcium product I've ever used. I've been dosing for 6 weeks. I just finished a round of tests with salifert kits - Ca/Alk/Magnesium are sitting at 400/7.5/1300. Love the simplicity. I like the fact that I'm maintaining mg daily (instead of once everytime i empty 2-part jugs) and I like that my my pH doesn't swing at night anymore. Growth rates on SPS seem improved but it's probably my eyes playing tricks on me. Like the previous reviewer noted, it clouds up your aquarium but clears up pretty fast. (Scared me the first time I dosed) My only problem is that it's not cheap and I have a 400g aquarium. I think I'm going to go through a bottle every 2 months. I hope they end up making larger bottles of this stuff!
Thank you for taking the time to review our products.

Source Organization: Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology
12/15/2004 - The Pew Initiative on Food and Biotechnology convened an invitation-only workshop entitled "Setting Standards: Biotechnology in the Marketplace" to provide stakeholders from all segments of the food chain along with representatives from government, academia, and consumer groups with an opportunity to discuss different types of standards, how markets have determined when standards are necessary, the different roles for various stakeholders, how public policies can influence standard setting, and how standards impact international trade.The December 2004 workshop allowed participants to explore examples of other agricultural marketing standards and to consider possible lessons that may aid any who seek to develop standards for agricultural biotechnology.This summary was produced in an effort to capture the discussions that took place at the December 2004 workshop "Setting Standards: Biotechnology in the Marketplace." These proceedings highlight a variety of different perspectives on what marketing challenges and opportunities exist in emerging markets.

1L TH swing top growler
Filled 2/1/13
5oz tasting snifter
A: Pours out a really pale yellow color. Not getting a ton of head for something filled the night before, but it's carbonated. Bright white collar of bubbles. Doesn't leave much by way of lacing.
S: On the nose, I initially got what I took as white grape like notes. Maybe some apple cider as others had mentioned here. The fruit isn't that pronounced but Kiwi really isn't that aggressive a smelling fruit.
T: I actually liked the flavor of this one. I thought it would be a perfect summer beer that they should bring back for the warmer months. Up front a little pinch of tartness on the tongue. You do get that white grape juice character that I smelled. Maybe some breadiness. Crisp finish.
M: Light and refreshing. Little thin but it's supposed to be.

Growler provided by mixylplik3, thanks for the opportunity Matt.
Pours a deeply hazy straw color without much of a head. Smells of funky and citric fruit with a bit of kiwi thrown into it. The flavor is lightly tart with a nice citric and kiwi thing going on with a hint of funk and a sulfur rotten fruit flavor that luckily doesn't dominate or stick around very long. Light body with a lightly tart puckering mouthfeel and a moderate level of carbonation. This is a light easy to drink beer that would go great sitting on the deck when it gets a little warmer.

A- light and hazy with a pear juice colors. White foam recides leaving faint traces on the edges. A refreshing look
S- tart scents with faint apples and pear scents. Dry scent that is comparable to apple cider vinegar

$5.00 for 10oz, served in an elongated chalice
Sampled 22FEB13
[A] Arrives with a wispy white head, bright, sudsy and short lived. The body is a pale, soft and light yellow with enough murkiness to prohibit any transparency. No lacing.
[S] Light lactic aromas on the nose with a cellar-like mustiness, plus soured grain and a restrained kiwi fruit character.
[T] Sourness is modest but plays well off of the spritzy acidity. Tangy, yogurt-like qualities come through from midpalate on. The fruit character could be elevated a bit more because the addition of kiwi seems like a fantastic and natural combination with a Berliner base. Nevertheless, the flavor is not lacking - even at 3.5% ABV.
[M] Super crispy, light and refreshing. Everything a Berliner should be - just not as sour or lactic as I like. Plus the kiwi component was downplayed, which seems like a missed opportunity to me.
[O] I thought this beer was MUCH better than the ratings suggest - and I'd happily have another.

Thanks to xnicknj for this.
Pour was hazy straw yellow, pale as can be. Thin light head but decent looking.
Fruity and malty. Nose was light, not much going on here.
Fruity up front, the kiwi is apparent. A tropical fruit with a very very mild tartness. Towards the finish, very pale malt and bread forward.
Light and easy, mild carbonation. Slick with a very faint tartness, but enough to keep it interesting.
I enjoyed this, my wife loved it. Sounds weird but almost had a wine like feel to its flavor profile. Worth trying.

3.55/5 rDev -1.7%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Hazy and cloudy, gray hued straw color, somewhat bubbly. Notes of musty grain and hay on the nose, lemon and lime rind. Taste quite mild all around, musty grain and lightly tart citrus rind... hoping for more tart Berliner and kiwi qualities. Lighter bodied, mildly bubbly. Lacking in a few areas to make it stand out at Tired Hands or against other Berliners.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
Poured from a growler during a tasting. Cloudy white and watered-down lemonade-like in color, barely enough color to call it straw. Hazy and foggy - looks like white grape juice with very tiny bits of sediment floating around, slightly olive-green tint to it. Aroma is packed with apples, apple skins, white grapes, pears, and some moderate kiwi. Some lemon and lime zest detected as well. Mainly fruity on the nose, not much to mention in terms of vibrant malt or hop characters.
Hits the palate pretty thin with a medium-high amount of carbonation. Slightly tart up front, turning quickly to a lasting, fruity sweetness. Kiwi, green apple, white grapes, and ripe pears. Very "juicy" in character. The aftertaste contains a nice amount of lemon-lime zest, mildly reminiscent of a Sprite (but in "beer" form, of course). The kiwi wasn't as ripe or juicy as I thought it would be, but it's definitely noticeable. Very crisp and refreshing on the tongue, and a pretty hefty amount of fruit flavor given the style.
Flavorful and quenching for being only 3.5% ABV - this is definitely something I could drink all day, especially on a hot day after being outside for a while. Nice example of the Berliner Weiss, I'd love to have a growler of this stuff to myself.

on tap at the brewpub
Pale, hazy straw yellow pour with a one-finger layer of white head resting on top. Fades out fairly quickly with little retention or lacing.
Soft tart nose with hints of kiwi and tropical fruit. Straw and wet hay with some citrus and yeast.
Brisk kiwi tartness right up front followed by yeasty, funky straw and hay. Biscuit malts and grain with some continuing fruit and a dry, tart finish.
Lighter body, decent carbonation, refreshing and crisp on the tongue. Easy drinking, invigorating tartness and nice finish, although I was hoping for some more expressive fruit flavor.

1-liter growler into a matching Tired hands oversized wine glass. The brew appears a clouded yellow with a white frothy finger of head that collapses to a thin ring fairly quick which is typical for the style. Some faint spotty lace sticks to the wall of the glass.
The smell consists of bread and yeast. A faint fruity and lemony character emerges across the middle. This is a bit seedy with some notes of yogurt. A bit of sour mashing aromatics is present faintly suggesting oxygen was present while the wort was being soured. It has a distinct note almost like corn and grain about to be spoiled.
The taste is bready with yeasty notes coupled with lemon. A bit of fruity charcter is present that I want to guess is the kiwi but it isnt bold by any means and kiwi is in its own regards a pretty subtile fruit. Sone yogurt notes persist into the aftertaste.
This is a light bodied brew with a modest amount of carbonation. It has a lightly almost chalky feel. It is easy drinking with some nice sour mash qualities and fruitiness. Thisbis not bad but it is a bit of a letdown after having their kvass which raised my level of expectation higher than it probably should have been.

PIERRE -- The South Dakota Legislature is involved in numerous landowner rights and hunting-related bills, as well as grain elevator reporting in the wake of the Anderson Seed Co. sunflower fiasco that left farmers unpaid.
State Sen. Shantel Krebs, R-Renner, chairwoman of the South Dakota Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, and Rep. Charlie Hoffman, R-Eureka, S.D., a cattle rancher and chairman of the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee, talked to Agweek about highlights in bills involving agriculture -- an industry that accounts for $21 billion of the state's $40 billion in gross state product.
One of the headline issues this session is landowner rights stemming from bills recommended by an interim summer task force in response to North Dakota's oil and gas boom. Krebs says theSouth Dakota Legislature wants to make sure South Dakota landowners have protections similar to North Dakota's.
South Dakota has seen the development of 12 new wells per year and produces 1.6 million barrels of oil from a total of 150 wells. Severance taxes produce about $5 million to $6 million a year. "We do know there will be more drilling in northwest South Dakota, but not to the extent of North Dakota," Krebs says.
Among this year's ag-related bills:
·SB 1 -- Oilfield bonds. This legislation revises provisions regarding plugging and performance bonds, or bonding in general. For the past 30 years, the state required only $5,000 in bonding per well drilled. With more wells being drilled in northwest South Dakota, the bonds were increased to $50,000. The state department of Environment and Natural Resources did some research to follow North Dakota's lead on the issue and will monitor to make sure South Dakota follows suit. The bill is expected to get a unanimous vote in favor.
·SB 59 -- Oilfield wastes. This bill says North Dakota oil drillers cannot cross the border and dispose of oil and gas field wastes in South Dakota. It passed in the Senate Jan. 28 with a 26-7 vote and is now in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
·SB 6 -- Ag land taxes. This legislation passed the Senate on Jan. 30 by a 24-11 vote and is now in the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
In 2008, South Dakota began taxing land using a productivity model instead of market value. "We've had a continuing ag land assessment task force to just watch every year to see if there is anything that needs to be tweaked," Krebs says. SB 6 provides a tweak involving the actual use versus the highest and best use.
"If an individual says, 'I'm not going to put it in crop this year, but for management purposes, I'm going to decide to put it in grazing or grassland,' that's his personal choice," Krebs says. "And maybe it's because of a typography issue, or maybe it's got challenges that go with it." When the landowner asks for it, the assessor will come out and look at the topography of that land to see if it's appropriately taxed, she adds.
In the past few years, the Legislature has changed the cap on land valuation assessments to 15 percent per year. One example is Brown County, an area where land values had typically been under-assessed and have had to catch up, Krebs says.
·SB 183 -- Hunting trespass. This bill increases penalties for hunters going on land without proper notification. It passed the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee unanimously.
·SB 238 -- Wildlife damage control. This legislation asks the state to appropriate $300,000 to the South Dakota Game, Fish and Parks Department's animal damage control fund on an emergency, or immediate basis. This is especially aimed at helping landowners deal with wolf and coyote depredation problems. It is not to pay farmers for losses, but pays for control. The bill is pending in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
Sheep producers in the northwest and northeast parts of the state are among the most affected, Krebs says.
·SB 171 -- Animal cruelty. This would change "aggravated cruelty" to a felony offense relating to dogs, cats and horses. Horses in South Dakota statutes are defined as livestock, Krebs says, and that opens a gateway to other areas of concern for agricultural producers. On Feb. 12, the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee voted 7-1 to defer it to the 41st day, effectively killing the bill because the session is only 40 days.
·SB 155 -- Ag development infrastructure. Krebs is the primary sponsor of a bill that would create an agricultural development grant fund, open for applications from townships or counties. This would come into play where a county might otherwise reject a conditional use permit for an agricultural enterprise such as a co-op, facility or dairy where there is no local way to improve and maintain a road for that development. It was proposed at $5 million in one-time funding, administered by the South Dakota Transportation Commission.
"The dairy industry came and shared these challenges that they had with conditional use permits not being granted for one reason -- infrastructure," Krebs says. "We have a lot of dairy opportunities in South Dakota. We have 92,000 head of dairy in South Dakota and on that I-29 corridor, we have two large processing plants and a third coming in." The Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee on Feb. 5 voted 7-0 to refer it to Senate Appropriations, where it passed 8-0 and then the full Senate, where it passed 32-1.
·HB 1123 -- Wildlife depredation control. This bill would increase the surcharge on hunting licenses from $5 to $6. Currently, half of the $5 surcharge goes to wildlife management for goose and deer depredation and the other half goes to a walk-in program for hunting.
Rep. Betty Olson, R-Prairie City, a member of the ag committee in her last term in office, proposed a $1 increase in the surcharge. Money raised from the increase would be used entirely for wildlife management, hiring two to four state trappers. "Predators are not only killing our livestock, but also wildlife," Olson says. The House passed the bill 55-13 on Feb. 4 and the bill is now in the Senate Agriculture and Natural Resources Committee.
·HB 1017 -- Grain warehouse finance reporting. Sponsored by the South Dakota Public Utilities Commission, the bill would increase the bonding for some areas, widen reporting ranges and shorten the window for financial reporting to the PUC.

A Pittsburgh-based insurance company will have to pay regulators in Ohio and other states as part of a multimillion-dollar settlement.
The National Union Fire Insurance Company, an AIG group affiliate and subsidiary of Chartis, Inc., will pay a $39 million fine to state insurance regulators that include the Ohio Department of Insurance as part of an agreement reached following a multistate examination into the company's business practices, according to Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor, who also is the state's Department of Insurance director.
Ohio's share is expected to be about $1.3 million, plus a $100,000 fee for serving as a lead state regulator, according to Taylor's office.
The examination was launched after red flags were raised during an initial examination by the state DOI. Ohio and other lead states identified problems with several aspects of the company's business practices, including product development; rates and form filings; licensing of agents and claims personnel; and record retention.
"Because of our initial exam and continued efforts throughout this entire process, we have helped reach a strong settlement for consumers across the country," Taylor said in a statement. "Our review found the company's practices were severely compromising consumer protection. Some steps have already been taken, but this agreement will ensure the company continues to make much needed reforms moving forward."
The agreement stipulates that NUFIC will be monitored by state regulators for two years, according to the release.

W.C. Handy was born on November 16, 1873, in Florence, Alabama. He played with several bands and traveled throughout the Midwest and the South, learning about the African-American folk music that would become known as the blues. Handy later composed his own songs that would popularize the form and come to be major commercial hits, including "St. Louis Blues," "Memphis Blues" and "Aunt Hagar's Blues." He died in New York City in 1958.
"I've always felt that the blues deal with an epoch in our history, and coming from the same people that gave us the spiritual, they reflected a nominal freedom. All the blues that I've written are either historic or folklore or folksong."
"Whenever I heard the song of a bird and the answering call of its mate, I could visualize the notes in scale ... all built up within my consciousness as a natural symphony."
"Life is something like this trumpet. If you don't put anything in it, you don't get anything out. And that's the truth."
Early Life
Composer, musician and music publisher William Christopher Handy was born on November 16, 1873, in Florence, Alabama, to Elizabeth Brewer and Charles Barnard Handy. The son and grandson of Episcopalian ministers, the young Handy showed his love of music at an early age, and was supported in his pursuits by his maternal grandmother. His father had other ideas, however, and was staunchly opposed to secular musicianship for his son, only agreeing to pay for organ lessons. Nonetheless, Handy held fast to his love and took up the cornet, also enjoying a cappella vocal lessons at school.
Some reports say that Handy joined a minstrel show—a theatrical production of the time that featured African-American music, generally in caricatured form—at the age of 15. The troupe disbanded after several appearances, and Handy later studied at the Teachers Agricultural and Mechanical College in Huntsville, Alabama, receiving his degree in 1892. He then became a schoolteacher and briefly worked in a piping company, but ultimately decided to pursue his music career.
Hardships and First Blues Song
Handy's contributions in shaping what would be called the blues were influenced by the African-American musical folk traditions that he experienced during his travels and performances. Handy formed a band called Lazette Quartet that intended to make its mark at the Chicago World Fair, but when the fair was postponed, the band was forced to split. Handy ended up in St. Louis, where he experienced difficult days of poverty, hunger and homelessness.
Yet he held fast, continued to play the cornet at shows and made his way to Kentucky, where he was hired as a musician by the well-to-do in the city of Henderson, and was influenced by the teachings of a musical director. In 1896, Handy joined W.A. Mahara's Minstrels as its bandleader, staying with the group for several years.
In 1898, Handy wed Elizabeth Virginia Price; the two would have six children and remained married for decades, until Price's death in 1937.
'Memphis Blues'
Handy played with a few other bands and settled in Memphis by the end of the first decade of the 1900s, after having lived in Clarksdale for some years and experienced the region's blues music. He also formed a partnership with singer-songwriter Harry H. Pace.
In 1909, Handy wrote what was to become a campaign song called "Mr. Crump," named after Memphis mayoral candidate Edward H. "Boss" Crump (Crump won the election, although the lyrics of the song weren't the most flattering). The song was later reworked and became "Memphis Blues." Handy made a deal to get the song published in 1912, and henceforth became a trailblazer in bringing the form's song structures to large audiences.

Supporters rally to save Cliffside Park PAL gym facing eviction
CLIFFSIDE PARK — The eviction notice hit Capt. Tim Kelly of the Cliffside Park police like a sucker punch to the gut.
The facts were as cold as the weights stacked in the borough's Police Athletic League gym on Anderson Avenue. The holding company that owns the building where the gym has rented space for eight years had lost its prime tenant, Stadium Home Appliance. It wanted the gym, which occupies the third floor, out by Jan. 31.
"It was personal for me," said Kelly, 60, a former powerlifter and special education teacher who spent 22 years in the Police Department's juvenile bureau. He also happened to be the athletic league's president. "A lot of kids, this is all they have, and all of a sudden you take that from them."
Staring at the notice, which arrived in mid-December, Kelly wondered if anyone else cared.
A lot of people did, as it turned out.
Parents and current and former members of the gym wrote dozens of letters — passionate testimonials with colorful stories of wallflowers gaining self-confidence, struggling students finding the discipline to attain honor-roll status, and weaklings transforming themselves into weightlifting champions.
The letters made their way to Christos Diktas, the borough attorney and a former powerlifter. He took the eviction notice to Mayor Gerald "Gerry" Calabrese and members of the Borough Council.
"We read all the letters," Diktas said. "Everybody choked up."
Calabrese's brief response, Diktas said, was loud and clear: "No way."
"The mayor and council indicated that the PAL was too important to the borough," Diktas said.
Borough officials formed a committee and arranged to have the building appraised and inspected.
They sent the holding company, SAVA Holding Corp. of West New York, a "good faith" letter in December explaining that they were looking into purchasing the building, effectively putting the eviction on hold with little time to spare before the Jan. 31 deadline.
"The PAL isn't going anywhere," Diktas said. "Hopefully, we can come to an agreement" with the holding company, he added, noting that the borough could, as a last resort, invoke its power of eminent domain to purchase the building. The building was assessed last year at $817,000, according to public records.
Officials from SAVA Holding Corp. could not be reached for comment.
After moving from one location to another, the athletic league had, Kelly believed, built a model at its Anderson Avenue address for other Police Athletic Leagues in the area.
The gym, Kelly said, lived up to its official name — the Educated Police Athletic League — because seniors from Cliffside Park High School tutored other students there three days a week.
And in Mark Cohen, Kelly said, the league had found a coach to match its goals.
"When he came into our lives, it was like an angel from heaven," Kelly said.
Cohen, a burly, 53-year-old champion powerlifter and Olympic-style weightlifter, has guided a generation of youngsters to maturity, dispensing his own brand of tough love. Under his watch, youngsters were no longer allowed to smoke outside the gym, shoestrings had to be tied, blue jeans were declared taboo, and slackers were shown the door.
"My main concern was the kids coming in for tutoring," Cohen said of the eviction notice. "We have a melting pot [in Cliffside Park]. For a lot of kids, English is a second language. "
In her letter supporting the gym, which she said was written with a "heavy heart," Dawn Kervel of Ridgefield Park recalled meeting Cohen by chance on the street and the invitation he extended to her son, Ryan, who suffered from "severe tightness in the calf muscles," to come to the gym.
Cohen made special exercise blocks at Kervel's house, and under his guidance, Ryan's physical condition and schoolwork improved. "It changed my son's and my life," Kervel said.
Kervel said she cried when Cohen called to tell her about the gym's predicament. "Mark started crying, too. We were both crying."
Steve Protomastro, 33, of Belleville became a champion powerlifter in his early 20s under Cohen's tutelage, squatting 600 pounds at his first meet.
"I told Mark I wanted to become a teacher, and he had me work with one boy, the first time in my life I taught," said Protomastro, who now teaches special education classes in Jersey City. "I realized it wasn't going to be an easy task."
"There are so many kids out there that don't play football, baseball or basketball — what are their options?" Protomastro said. "Mark really helped those kids out. They fell in love with weightlifting."
George Goldner, 35, a former powerlifter and now a law enforcement officer in Monmouth County, wrote: "Mr. Cohen is not Mr. Cohen in my house — he is Uncle Mark, and Godfather to my twin girls. His presence is not only wanted, but expected at holidays, birthdays and dinners. I met my coach in 1990, my life coach. It's 2012 and he is still teaching me things."
Kelly, the police captain, can still remember the 1960s, when there was no Police Athletic League in town. His parents' garage served as the league's unofficial gym.
"God bless Mrs. Kelly," said Diktas, who lifted at the garage. "She was 5 feet 1 and 100 pounds, and you had all these monsters pumping iron in her garage. She used to bring us cookies."
The league was officially launched in 1991 with county grant money. When funds dried up, league officials solicited donations from residents. The gym still survives largely on donations, Kelly said.
With the gym's eviction on hold, perhaps for good, the league had to weather another recent crisis when Cohen received an offer from Tennessee Tech University to become the school's strength coach.
"Nobody wanted me to leave," Cohen said. "All the kids wanted me to stay."
Cohen decided to stay in Cliffside Park and Kelly, for one, is grateful.
"That was a hell of a Christmas present," Kelly said.

For non-US operations, this policy may be subject to additional terms or modifications to meet local requirements within the individual country.
1.3. Authorization This policy does not authorise contractors to incur any expense on behalf of Seagate. This policy defines the type of expenses that can be reimbursed, if authorised, and the procedures for obtaining reimbursements. All contractors must obtain advance authorisation from Seagate before incurring any travel or entertainment expenses, and must obtain reauthorisation if there is any change in the expenses after the original authorisation.
1.4. Policy Exceptions Any exception to this policy will be considered a deviation and will require the written approval of the responsible Seagate Vice President for deviations up to US$500 or a Senior VP or above for deviations exceeding US$500. NOTE: There are no exceptions for vehicle violations or for violations of customs and export control requirements.
2.1. Lowest Logical Airfare Contract personnel travelling by air are expected to accept flights with the lowest logical airfare. The "lowest logical" airfare means that contractors cannot use a more expensive flight if there is a less expensive flight available that meets the following requirements:
- Does not change the departure or arrival time by more than two hours.
- Does not increase the one-way total elapsed journey time by more than two hours.
- Does not add more than one additional stop each way.
- Provides savings of at least 20% or more (minimum US$100) off the cost of the return air ticket.
- May use alternative carriers or airports (i.e. regional discount carriers or secondary airports).
2.2. Class of Travel All travellers must fly in coach or economy class unless the traveller obtains an exception in advance from the applicable Senior VP.
- A traveller may fly in business class or first class when travelling with a Seagate VP or above for the purpose of conducting Seagate business with the VP. This exception is available only at the request of the VP and must be approved in advance by the applicable Senior VP.
- A traveller may fly in business class or first class when travelling with a customer or potential customer who is travelling in business class or first class. This exception must be approved in advance by the applicable Senior VP.
2.3. Unauthorised Upgrading Upgrading air tickets to a higher class of service without the advance written approval of a Senior VP is considered a personal expense and will not be reimbursed by Seagate.
2.4. Unauthorised Downgrading A traveller may not downgrade air tickets to subsidise personal travel or to subsidise travel for accompanying individuals. If the air carrier downgrades a ticket for any reason, the refund must be returned to Seagate.
2.5. Cancelled or Changed Reservations If a journey is ticketed and then cancelled or changed, it is the responsibility of the individual traveller to ensure that the original ticket price is refunded or documented and used towards future travel.
2.6. Frequent Traveller Programmes. Contractors are permitted to accumulate mileage credits and other benefits from individual frequent traveller programmes; however, contractors are prohibited from selecting travel providers based on membership or benefits in any programme.
2.7. Chartered/Personal Aircraft All aircraft charter requests, as well as requests to use personal or corporate aircraft, must be approved in writing by Seagate's President, Chief Financial Officer or Chief Executive Officer.
2.8. Group Travel If ten or more travellers are going to the same destination for the purpose of conducting Seagate business, then contractors should co-ordinate with Seagate's Corporate Travel Administration for contract negotiations with airlines, lodging and ground transport suppliers. For further information regarding group travel, please contact Seagate Corporate Travel Administration in Scotts Valley, California, USA.
3.1. Use of Alternative Transportation Contractors must use the most cost-effective means of ground transport while on Seagate business, and must evaluate alternative transport, such as airport shuttles and taxis, before electing to hire a car.
3.2. Mid-Size Cars or Smaller All travellers are expected to rent mid-size cars or smaller. Contractors are responsible for ensuring that the correct rate is charged at the time of hiring.
3.3. Fuel Options Travellers must decline all fuel option purchases and return the car with a full tank of petrol. If circumstances prevent refuelling a car, a detailed explanation must be included on the expense report.
3.4. Personal Cars Travellers are permitted to use their personal cars for Seagate business, and Seagate will reimburse actual mileage, tolls and parking fees. In the USA, mileage will be reimbursed at the US Internal Revenue Service standard mileage rate. In all other countries, mileage will be reimbursed at the local country rates. Contractors are responsible for ensuring that all travellers using personal cars have all the correct licences, insurance and permits for the vehicles.
3.5. Transportation from Home to Airport Travellers may use shuttle services for return transport from a traveller's home to the airport if the cost is lower than the total cost of the mileage allowance plus airport parking. If a personal car is used to travel to the airport, the traveller must use long-term parking.
3.6. Use of Taxi Service In the USA, the cumulative daily expense for taxi services must not exceed the cost of hiring a car.
3.7. Vehicle Violations and Fines Seagate will not reimburse contractors for any traffic fines, parking tickets or any other vehicle violations. There are no exceptions to this requirement.
4.1. Accommodation If Seagate business requires the use of overnight accommodation, contractors must use moderately priced single room accommodation. The Seagate Corporate Travel Department has negotiated corporate hotel rates in most major cities. Contractors are expected to use these rates unless a lower rate is available. If contractors pay a higher rate than approved, then Seagate will not reimburse the difference in price. Preference for a hotel because of frequent traveller programmes should never receive priority over cost savings for Seagate.
4.2. Cancellations If any reservations must be cancelled or changed, contractors are responsible for ensuring that the reservation is cancelled or changed in a timely fashion to avoid any "no show" charges. Seagate will not reimburse "no show" charges incurred due to failure to diligently cancel or change any reservation.

This includes breakfast if the traveller is required to leave home more than two hours earlier than normal, and dinner if the traveller cannot reasonably return home until two hours or more after normal working hours. The "reasonable" meal expense depends on the location of the travel and the prevailing exchange rate.
5.2. Business Meals and Entertainment All meal and entertainment expenses (other than travel meals described above) must be approved by Seagate in advance. Any non-travel meal or expense that exceeds US$500 must be approved by a Senior VP, or above.
5.3. Receipts Receipts are required for any single meal costing US$50 or more. If a receipt is not provided with the Expense Report, Seagate will not reimburse more than US$50. All receipts must be imprinted with the name of the establishment. The date and amount of the expense must also appear, but do not necessarily need to be imprinted.
