Traces of the Hand: Master Drawings from the Collection of Frederick and Lucy S. Herman
UVa Fralin Museum of Art, 155 Rugby Road / Charlottesville, VA 22904
Avid collectors since their college days, Frederick and Lucy S. Herman spent over fifty years building an impressive collection of more than 250 works on paper, a majority of which were generously donated to the Museum in 2006 and 2007 for the instruction of the University's students. Traces of the Hand displays a selection of drawings from this collection and celebrates the Hermans' achievement as discriminating collectors, highlighting areas in which the collection excels and which clearly correspond to their tastes and interests. These include social satire, portraiture, German Romanticism, and the depiction of the natural world through landscape and marine imagery.
Although the drawings in this show range in date from about 1530 to 1945 and represent a variety of artistic periods, the exhibition reveals one characteristic that unites them: their superior quality and visual interest. This exhibition also permits the publication of the results of student research on these drawings, carried out in seminars on the history and connoisseurship of drawings and prints taught by curator Lawrence O. Goedde. This research by both graduate and undergraduate students has resulted in new attributions and new identifications of subjects, and it has led students to a deeper appreciation of the highly varied purposes of drawings, as well as enhanced their understanding of the differing functions of specific drawings within an individual artist's creative process.
Through May 26.

In 1998, Feldenkrais® Trainer Roger Russell interviewed developmental psychologist Esther Thelen during a visit to Amsterdam. This excerpt offers insights into the value of Esther's infant development research to practitioners in many fields, and her perspective on what she hoped to achieve through her career.
This interview occurred a few years after the release of the textbook she wrote with Linda Smith, A Dynamic Systems Approach to the Development of Cognition and Action. This book caught the attention of the Feldenkrais community and collaborations emerged. Esther completed her Feldenkrais training, delivered the keynote address at the 2003 annual meeting, and spearheaded the organization of the first research symposium, Movement and the Sense of Self, in Seattle 2004.
Following her death, the Esther Thelen, Ph.D., G.C.F.P. Research and Education Fund was established under the auspices of the Feldenkrais Educational Foundation of North America. The Esther Thelen Research Committee and this year's Esther Thelen Research Symposium also honor her contributions.

February 11, 2013
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) ordered Scapadas Magicas LLC, a passenger carrier operating in the U.S., to immediately cease operations and declared the carrier to be an imminent hazard to public safety.
On Feb. 3, 2013, a bus operated by Scapadas Magicas transporting passengers from locations including Tijuana, Mexico on a ski trip to the Southern California area, crashed on a mountain road striking two other vehicles east of San Bernardino. Seven passengers were killed, dozens were injured and a driver in a separate vehicle was killed.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash, with the assistance of FMCSA and local law enforcement.
"After the tragic crash earlier this week, FMCSA investigators quickly inspected this carrier's other two buses which had been operated on U.S. roads, and immediately shut them down," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "Today, we've officially blocked the company from conducting future operations in the United States."
A post-crash investigation by FMCSA inspectors of Scapadas Magicas' two other motorcoaches that had been operating in the U.S. found serious mechanical safety violations and those buses were immediately placed out-of-service.
FMCSA investigators also found that the company had failed to ensure that its vehicles were systematically inspected, repaired and maintained and that its drivers were properly qualified and licensed, contrary to information provided by company officials in January 2013.

Songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Greg Kurstin has had his hand in an impressive array of projects in various corners of the music industry. A Los Angeles native, he was introduced to music by his grandmother's piano playing, took up the instrument himself at age five; and, as a member of Dweezil Zappa's band, got his first published writing credit (for co-writing "Crunchy Water," the B-side of Dweezil's debut single "My Mother Is a Space Cadet"), when he was only twelve. He moved to New York after high school to continue his piano studies at the New School with Charles Mingus alum Jaki Byard, immersing himself in the jazz scene -- playing with the likes of Bobby Hutcherson and George Coleman -- while also exploring hip-hop and Brazilian music (and learning to play the berimbau), styles that would factor largely into his career-defining eclecticism. After returning to L.A. in the early '90s he formed quirky alternative rock outfit Geggy Tah with singer/songwriter Tommy Jordan. The duo signed to David Byrne's Luaka Bop records and released their debut in 1994; the follow-up, Sacred Cow (1996), contained a Top 20 modern rock hit in "Whoever You Are," but there was a considerable delay before their third and final album, Into the Oh, appeared in 2001. In the meantime he built up his credentials as a sideman, playing for and collaborating with Beck, Matthew Sweet, Jane's Addiction, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Bob Moog, among others. Kurstin also masterminded the jazz-funk-rock fusion project Action Figure Party, whose eponymous 1999 debut included contributions from Flea, Sean Lennon, Miho Hatori, members of No Doubt, Buckcherry, Incubus, and Soul Coughing among other late-'90s luminaries, and his then-wife Pamelia Kurstin, who would later gain renown as a theremin player. In the 2000s, he played with Ben Harper, Jason Mraz, and Jenny Lewis, served as Gwen Stefani's musical director for live and television performances, and expanded his songwriting and production résumé considerably, working with British pop artists Kylie Minogue, Lily Allen, Natasha Bedingfield, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and All Saints, as well as Peaches, Sia, Donna Summer and the Flaming Lips. In 2005 Kurstin met singer/songwriter Inara George (a fellow L.A. music-biz insider, and the daughter of Little Feat's Lowell George); the two bonded over a love of jazz and tropicalia and began collaborating as the Bird and the Bee, releasing their first album the following year. ~ K.

Surface Transportation:
Many Factors Affect Investment Decisions
GAO-04-744: Published: Jun 30, 2004. Publicly Released: Jul 28, 2004.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6570
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Passenger and freight traffic are expected to grow substantially in the future, generating additional congestion and requiring continued investment in the nation's surface transportation system. Over the past 12 years, the federal government has provided hundreds of billions of dollars for investment in surface transportation projects through the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and its successor legislation, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century. Reauthorization of this legislation is expected to provide hundreds of billions of dollars more in federal funding for surface transportation projects. For this investment to have the greatest positive effect, agencies at all levels of government need to select investments that yield the greatest benefits for a given level of cost. This report provides information about the processes that state and regional transportation decisionmakers use to analyze and select transportation infrastructure investments. GAO identified (1) key federal requirements for planning and deciding on such investments, (2) how benefit-cost analysis facilitates sound decisionmaking, and (3) other factors that decision-makers consider in evaluating and deciding on investments.
Federal requirements specify the overall approach that states and regional organizations should use in planning transportation infrastructure projects, but generally do not specify what analytical tools planners should use to evaluate projects. These key requirements include developing strategic goals and objectives; considering a wide range of environmental and economic factors; preparing long- and short-range plans; and ensuring an inclusive process that involves many stakeholders. The Office of Management and Budget, the Department of Transportation (DOT), and GAO have identified benefit-cost analysis as a tool to help decision-makers identify projects with the greatest net benefits. The systematic process of benefit-cost analysis helps decision-makers organize information about, and determine trade-offs between, alternatives. Researchers also acknowledged challenges in applying benefit-cost analysis, including quantifying some benefits and costs, defining the scope of the project, and ensuring the precision of estimates used in the analysis. Ongoing research by DOT and others is aimed at improving and expanding state and regional decision-makers' application of benefit-cost analysis. Many of the transportation planners we interviewed said that factors other than the analyses developed during the planning process often influenced final investment decisions. For example, state and regional decision-makers must consider the structure of federal funding sources. Since federal funding often is tied to a single transportation mode, it may be difficult to finance projects that do not have dedicated funding, such as railroad improvement projects. In addition, decision-makers must ensure that wideranging public participation is reflected in their deliberations and that their choices take into account numerous views. In some cases, voter support through referenda is required before a project may proceed or financing can be secured. The physical constraints of an area may also affect investment choices. Difficulties in expanding capacity and limits on existing infrastructure may direct investments to preserving and maintaining existing facilities or improving operations. Finally, multistate transportation corridors present special challenges in coordinating investment decisions.

NEW PALTZ -- The Baroque era that encompassed the years of 1600-1750 was an age of opulence. Inspired by the court of Louis XIV of France and driven by the new wealth of the middle classes, the arts flourished in ornate, intricate and grandiose style. On Tuesday, September 30, the SUNY New Paltz Department of Music will present a concert of music from the Baroque era performed by an ensemble comprising musicians of the Hudson Valley Philharmonic.
Titled "Glories of the Baroque," the chamber concert features works of J. C. Bach, Boismortier, Telemann and Gabrielli. Members of the ensemble include SUNY New Paltz music faculty members Carole Cowan, violinist/concertmaster; Susan Seligman, principal cellist; and Marcia Gates, principal flutist. Joining them will be Mary Jane Corry, harpsichordist and SUNY professor emeritus; and Philip West, oboist and professor emeritus of the Eastman School of Music.
"Glories of the Baroque" is the second recital of a three-part music concert series planned for the fall season. The third recital scheduled for November 4, will include works by Beethoven, Barber and Popper.
The program includes Quintet in D Major of J.C. Bach, one of the first compositions to use the harpsichord as a solo voice in equal partnership with the other instruments. Other works include duets for violin and oboe by the prolific French composer, Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, an unaccompanied cello composed by Domenico Gabrielli in 1689, and a quintet from Tafelmusik I by Georg Philipp Telemann, one of the most prolific and well-known composers of his time.
The chamber concert will be presented on Tuesday, September 30th at 8:00 p.m. in the Julien J. Studley Theatre. Tickets are $5 general admission, $4 faculty and staff, and $3 students. Tickets are available at the theatre one hour before performance. For more information call 845-257-3872.

In an op-ed, Jason Riley of the Wall Street Journal speculates that the issue of illegal immigration has faded from prominence in the 2008 presidential campaign because voters are generally "pro-immigrant but ambivalent about it." Riley says American culture is under assault not from immigrants, but from "liberal elites who reject the concept of assimilation."

- See also: Early voting
Nebraska is one of 34 states that has early voting with no specific requirements as to who can vote early. Thirty days before Election Day is the first day early voting ballots are available to vote at a county office. Ballots are sent to non-military stateside applicants 35 days before the election. The average number of days prior to an election that voters can cast an early ballot is 21 days in states with a definitive starting date.
Elections Performance Index
Nebraska ranked 40th out of the 50 states and District of Columbia in the Pew Charitable Trusts' Elections Performance Index (EPI), based on the 2012 elections. The EPI examines election administration performance and assigns an average percentage score based on 17 indicators of election performance. These indicators were chosen in order to determine both the convenience and integrity of these three phases of an election: registration, voting and counting. Nebraska received an overall score of 58 percent.[1]

Very comfy & cute pairing.ReplyDelete
I've never been one to follow sales because it seems like there's ALWAYS one going on at all times of the month! If I did that, my wallet would be so empty! I do love bargain hunting though so I just tend to gravitate towards the sales rack that's usually in the back of whatever store I'm in.Replies
I agree- sales racks are always a go to for me- but 2 times a year, BIG TIME sales happen when stores get rid of their merchandise from the previous season and this is a major time to score. Of course, it's always a way better deal for higher priced items... :)Delete
you really did a great job mixing textures and designs... those shorts are really cute =)ReplyDeleteReplies
aww thanks, Diana!Delete

Deep Foundations
Micropiles are small diameter, reinforced load transfer elements capable of supporting design loads in excess of 200 tons. Micropiles can be installed through almost any type of subsurface condition from sands to clay to bouldery soils to rock. Micropiling is accomplished using low-vibratory drilling techniques, a critical consideration when working around sensitive structures. The micropiles can readily be installed in confined space and low headroom situations. Often installation can be accomplished without disrupting normal facility operations.
Vertical and/or inclined micropiles can also be installed to provide the additional foundation support needed to withstand increased structural loading, underpin existing shallow foundations during adjacent new construction, counteract uplift forces, stabilize slopes, and for seismic retrofit.
Hollow Bar Micropiles
Hollow bar micropiles are particularly suited to soils that are not conducive to open-hole drilling (collapsible soils). The pile is formed from the top down in one operation by the high-pressure injection of cementitious grout through the hollow bar, which also serves as the drill string. The grout exits the bar through ports at the end of the sacrificial drill bit. Continuous staged drilling and grouting causes the grout to permeate into the looser adjacent soils and into any voids in addition to forming a competent reinforced grout column.
Helical Piles
A helical pile, sometimes called a screw pile, consists of a spiral-shaped head and galvanized steel pipe extension sections (flights). The pile is rotated into a stable bearing stratum, using a high-torque hydraulic motor, until the necessary load capacity has been achieved as verified by means of a pressure gauge. The pile is attached via a bracket to the base of the foundation wall to transfer the structural load to the pile. Helical pile installation creates no spoil and can be performed in limited access or low headroom situations. Pile systems can be used for new construction or retrofit of existing buildings.
Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) Piles
Under the right conditions, Continuous Flight Auger (CFA) piles, also commonly called Auger cast-in-place (ACIP) piles, offer a number of scheduling and economic advantages over other deep foundation options. Installation is rapid, vibration-free, and can be accomplished in low headroom situations if required. Since each pile is constructed in a continuous operation, no casing is required.
CFA piles are constructed by rotating a continuous flight hollow stem auger into the ground to design depth and pumping high strength concrete through the hollow stem as the auger is slowly withdrawn. If required, reinforcing can be added while the grout is still fluid. Typical pile diameters range from 12 to 18 inches, although piles with diameters up to 36 inches have been successfully constructed. Loads range from 10 to 50 tons for 12-inch diameter piles, and up to 100 to 150 tons for 18-inch piles. CFA piles should be considered where speed of installation is important, a large number of piles are required, and the soil conditions and project requirements are straightforward.
Drilled Shafts (Caissons)
Drilled shafts, also known as caissons, drilled piers or bored piles, are often the deep foundations of choice for buildings with high or concentrated column loads. Candidates for a drilled shaft foundation include multi-story buildings, parking decks, bridges and overpasses, and structures such as transmission towers that are subject to uplift loads.
Drilled shafts can be designed as end-bearing or friction shafts. Construction can be by the dry, wet or cased method, depending on the subsurface conditions and groundwater table elevation. Dry shaft construction, as the name implies, relies on the soil/rock to be self-supporting during excavation, reinforcement placement and concreting. Wet construction involves the use of a stabilizing agent only, either water or slurry, to maintain hole stability during excavation and completion of the shaft element. Temporary casing is often used where the soils are dry, but their characteristics are such that caving or sloughing is anticipated during excavation, or where clean granular soils are present below the water table and the shaft must be seated into an impermeable layer to prevent water flow into the borehole. For shafts installed through water, e.g. for bridge construction, the casing can also function as a form, becoming a permanent part of the foundation.
In dense urban environments, the selection of a deep foundation system for buildings and other structures with high or concentrated column loads must take into consideration the presence of underground structures such as subway systems, sewer lines or utility banks within the building footprint; restricted or congested site access; and noise or vibration limitations imposed on the installation process. Under such circumstances, mini-caissons offer a viable alternative to drilled shafts.
Mini-caissons are essentially large-diameter (12- to 24-inch casing), drilled micropiles, either rock socketed or bearing on rock, and are capable of carrying more substantial loads than standard micropiles. Like micropiles, mini-caissons can be installed through almost any type of subsurface condition from sands to clay to bouldery soils and accomplished in confined space and low headroom situations. Low-vibratory drilling techniques ensure minimal disruption to the surrounding area and load transfer is achieved without disturbing underlying structures.

Regulating Urban Land Markets: Mission Impossible?
The main technical difficulties involved in providing land for the urban poor concern: a) locating and acquiring enough buildable land; b) devising sustainable ways of financing its transfer to the poor; and c) regulating the functioning of land markets.
An alleged shortage of land has been a main obstacle to more effective housing policies for the poor. The need to safeguard environmental and agricultural land from chaotic urban expansion is a genuine concern. However, most cities still have buildable land in good locations, but it is owned or controlled by private interests or by state agencies with no interest in socially directed uses of the land. The real shortage is thus not of land, but of serviced land at affordable prices.
Meeting the land needs of the poor is easier in the context of well-regulated land and housing markets. Not only do effective markets make more land available to the poor, but they also favour economic growth.
Lack of good regulation actually increases poverty: Metre for metre, people in informal settlements pay more for land and services than people in wealthier residential areas.(21)Unregulated markets also make it difficult for governmental bodies to collect property taxes or reduce land speculation and to build up resources on this basis for socially oriented planning of land use (see Box 16).
The problem is not so much the shortage of land or the number of poor urbanites, but rather their restricted access to serviced land and housing because of distorted land markets.
Servicing already settled areas costs more than providing serviced land on unoccupied sites. Yet public authorities, pleading insufficient funds, seem to find smaller investments in ex post facto programmes more appealing than well-planned proactive policies. Much could be done to improve the situation, for instance, by enacting special legislation for the provision of adequately serviced land for low-income groups. Cities could finance urban development by taxing increases in land value resulting either from public investment in local urban infrastructure or services, or from the redefinition of land uses towards more profitable ones, such as changes from rural to urban or from residential to commercial uses.
The urban poor tend to be treated as if they were passive in the production and consumption of land, yet they have some capacity to pay for land, despite their low and unstable incomes. Indeed, the poor already pay very high prices for the housing they find through the informal market. This capacity to pay could be better mobilized through formal regulation and provision of plots of land.
Scarcity of land or financial resources is thus not the only obstacle to the implementation of sustainable policies. In a sense, poor people have to be protected from the abusive practices of developers who capitalize on services provided by the local communities or by the public sector. Political will, as well as managerial and technical capacities, are needed to identify, capture and properly invest available resources—including the resources of poor people themselves—into more equitable urban development.
Financing socially oriented housing has always been difficult, but there is no shortage of innovative proposals, once past the hurdle of anti-urban bias. Given regularized land markets, the support of local governments, NGOs and international funding agencies could be marshalled towards a more proactive approach.
International and multilateral agencies could make a difference. New rules for the United Nations system, promulgated by the Secretary-General in August 2006, will enable the UN to address this structural shortcoming and provide more effective support on affordable housing finance. That support will include pro-poor mortgage financing systems, now being tested in the field, as an alternative to conventional social housing policies.(22)Particular attention will have to be given to the gender constraints that exist in formal credit channels precluding women from tapping into this market. Access to microfinance has proven to buttress women's empowerment and helps to reduce urban poverty.

We are learning about plants that open and close for different reasons:
- some types of flowers close at night to prevent creatures like bats and moths from stealing their nectar
- some close to protect themselves from the cold nighttime air
- some plants have such a short life cycle that they have to save their pollen and nectar at night so the daytime pollinators will be attracted to them
- some flowers close up in the rain
We love that they just showed up like a gift, and the butterflies are loving them too. My youngest picked a pink one to save, and we are pressing it in the phone book to see what happens.

Great beers can be gluten-free
Ayaka Nagata, The StarPublished: Friday, February 15, 2013
A beer aficionado being diagnosed with a gluten intolerance was like a movie lover losing his sense of sight: tragic and highly ironic. Whether you are mixing up a cocktail at home or having a night on the town, knowing what alcohols are safe to drink can be tricky.
Don't believe that adopting a gluten-free diet means the end of tall frosty pints and cocktail hour. We list our favorite gluten free options and libations and where to get them in Nanaimo.
The long beerless drought for gluten-intolerant drinkers is now a thing of the past.
Breweries are branching off from traditional grains and exploring gluten-free options like buckwheat, rice and millet. Lager lovers will appreciate a crisp and easy drinking Daura from Spanish brewery Estrella Damm. Beer geeks with more complicated palates should try UK based Green's trio of Belgian style ales. Made from sorghum (a type of grass) they are safe to drink, even for celiacs.
From an English amber to a rich and malty Dubbel dark, they offer a range of drinkable gluten-free brews without sacrificing taste.
Now before you begin searching high and low for these specialty beers, fortunately these are usually always available at Lucky's Liquor Store.
When it comes to hard bar, most distilled spirits are safe as the process removes harmful prolamins, the proteins in gluten that trigger reactions.
This includes vodka, tequila, rum, fruit brandy, and some whiskies like bourbon despite being made from grains. When possible, go for top-shelf liquor as they have more stringent distillation standards than cheaper brands. Take caution when dealing with any spirits with additives however.
Flavoured spirits, coolers and most store bought margarita/ pina colada mixes should be avoided as many of these contain glutenous colourings, flavours and syrups.
One exception to the rule is M2 (Magic Moments) Vodka. Made completely from rice grain, this is line of flavoured premium vodkas is one of the few on the market that are 100 percent gluten-free and comes in delicious flavours like Green Apple, Chocolate, Raspberry, and Lemon Grass.
Those seeking some instant gratification can look to these watering holes in town to get their glutenfree cocktail fix.
Try the French Martini at Minnoz Restaurant and Lounge. This deadly combination of vodka, chambord and pineapple juice will have you seeing pink. 11 Bastion St., 250-753-6601. Cider lovers should order up a pint at Fibber McGees, with Somersby, Blackthorn, Williams Sir Perry ciders on tap. 321 Selby St., 250-591-0650. Sip on a fizzy mimosa over a lazy weekend brunch at The Modern Cafe, 221 Commercial St., 250-754-5022.
One final word of advice. Never rely on labels as it is not required by law to list whether a product is glutenfree. When in doubt, always check with the manufacturer or ask your server.
Happy drinking!

Four hundred years ago, an Italian chess master, Gioachino Greco, discovered an extraordinary bishop sacrifice on h7 that often leads to checkmate or a significant material advantage. More amazing still, he recorded the idea!
This book chronicles the history of that idea, what many have come to call the Classic Bishop sacrifice, from its discovery and formative years through its remarkably complex uses in modern chess.
His taxonomy of the sacrifice is comprehensive and full of pleasant surprises for beginners and even accomplished masters.
Jon Edwards won the 10th United States Correspondence Championship in 1997 and the 8th North American Invitational Correspondence Chess Championship in 1999. He became a Senior International Master (SIM) in 1999. His ICCF rating of 2580 placed him in the top 200 correspondence chess players worldwide.

Independent trials on Actinogen's plant growth hormones
27 March 2013
Actinogen Limited ("Actinogen", ASX:ACW), has discovered actinomycetes that produce plant growth hormones.
Actinogen tested the growth hormones in pot trials and recorded significant extra root and leaf growth in broad bean plants...Read More
Actinomycetes are a group of gram-positive microorganisms some of which can produce unique bioactive compounds. These micro-organisms are found in a wide range of aquatic and terrestrial environments and when faced with harsh conditions have the ability to activate the metabolic pathways that ensure their survival. The unique bioactive compounds which may be produced through this process may have commercial applications…Read More
Recently Actinogen has acquired Celgenics, a company advanced in the research on Cancer Stem Cells. Current theory suggests that Cancer tumours may contain a tiny proportion of Cancer Stem Cells and that they may be resistant to current chemotherapy. Cancer Stem Cells may remain after primary chemotherapy and subsequently replicate to give rise to fatal secondary cancer development...Read More
Historically a large percentage of the world's antibiotics have been found initially in a group of micro-organisms known collectively as actinomycetes. Anti-cancer agents and other interesting bioactive compounds have also been detected in actinomycetes. Currently throughout the world there are a series of institutes...Read More

The mid-year financial projections for 2013 indicate that the County will end the year with a $5.6 million budgetary surplus. This follows on the heels of 2012's surplus of $41.5 million, now confirmed by independent auditors. These budget surpluses are due to increased sales tax revenues from the improving economy (up 10.4 percent year to date) and reduced Social Service costs due to lower unemployment (down to 6 percent, one of the lowest rates in New York State and lower than that of Suffolk County and New York City.)
In his article, John Owens criticized public schools for essentially being expensive bureaucracies that often fail in their educational mission. His criticism is well founded given recent test scores which clearly demonstrate that too many students are not taught at the highest level and lack the necessary critical thinking skills to function in our global economy.
If you are a registered Democrat, there is a primary next week on Tuesday, Sept. 10.
When it comes to candidates for county executive, there is only one choice as far as I am concerned. I am completing my first term serving you on the Nassau County Legislature and it is painfully clear that we desperately need the kind of vision, leadership and fiscal responsibility that we got from Tom Suozzi.
Over the past two years, I have relayed to you a litany of problems caused by Edward Mangano's administration. These issues are plaguing the Nassau County government. They are hurting you, our taxpayers and residents.
I have known Adam Haber since he was my soccer coach in kindergarten. He is a very responsible person, community-oriented, civic-minded and a very hard worker. Adam Haber is a great politician as well as a great person. I am going into ninth grade and have learned a lot about Nassau County politics. Adam has a vision for Nassau County that will restore respectability to our county. This is why you should vote for Adam in the primary election on September 10.
Daniel Weitz
A recent Eyewitness News program aired a story about voter fraud in Freeport. I'm not surprised. There's so much corruption in politics these days, and I'm sick of it.
I've known Adam Haber for over a decade, and his character and integrity are beyond reproach. I'm so glad he's running for Nassau County Executive. Finally we have a candidate free from corruption and political office climbing. On top of that he's got one of the most talented business minds I know. As a trustee of the Roslyn Board of Education he's implemented countless ideas to save and make money, totaling about $10,000,000 for their district. Imagine what he could do for all of Nassau as our county executive.
Let's take our county back. Join me on September 10 and vote for Adam Haber, Democrat for Nassau County Executive.
Randi Zimmerman
I've lived in Roslyn for 28 years, and I am very impressed with the fresh ideas Adam Haber brought to the Roslyn School Board. He pushed us to refinance our debt, consolidate our bus routes, and renegotiate our broadcast rights with Cablevision. These ideas are all unique to Roslyn, and they started with Adam Haber. I voted for him because he promised new ideas to save money, and he delivered. We haven't cut teachers, we've preserved and added programs, and our district boasts the lowest tax increases in almost all of Nassau. I've had some personal contact with Adam Haber, and I've found him a sincere, caring, family man with a lot of integrity.
I was recently speaking with one of my staff via cell phone as he walked his dog late in the evening. Unfortunately, we had to stop our conversation about a half dozen times as he waited for the noise from overhead aircraft to pass. So to those who ask me about airplane noise, yes, I do understand how aggravating it is. To be sure, I live with it every day, like most of you.
The selfishness we're witnessing in Albany right now has to stop.
You know I've written in this column many times that New York State has made real progress these last three years. Things are far better than they used to be simply because Republicans and Democrats alike are finally working together. Despite the accompanying noise, there's really no magic formula. Legislators with common sense have finally realized that you can't always get everything you want and that most times, the reasonable middle ground also happens to advance the people's agenda very nicely.
But I'm not "feeling the love" lately.
By now, I'm sure you've heard about the City of Detroit filing for bankruptcy. It's frightening to think that what was once one of the nation's primary economic engines cannot pay its day-to-day bills. Despite sensationalist commentary from both sides of the political spectrum, I can assure you there's really no single reason this happened. There are many causes and even more opinions, but one thing is for sure: Detroit borrowed and spent extravagantly for many years and dug itself right into a hole. Sadly, no one on the state level in Michigan intervened to get them back on track.
It is not often you have the opportunity to support someone you think can actually make a difference. Nor is it common for a successful businessman to venture into politics with a completely independent voice and no personal agenda. Adam Haber, Democrat for Nassau County Executive, is such a man. I am publicly supporting Adam because I have witnessed his excellent performance as a member of the Roslyn Public Schools' Board of Education and his incredible success in the private sector.
