Bring on the lighter, cleaner cars
One year after automakers began building cars to meet tough new mileage and emissions requirements, it is clear the new standards are working. An in-depth assessment by the Environmental Protection Agency found that manufacturers are on track to deliver a fleet by 2025 that will cut in half the global-warming pollution of cars and save Americans billions of dollars at the pump.
The EPA reported Thursday that the 2012 fleet's mileage increased 1.2 miles per gallon, a roughly five per cent jump. That improvement alone will save purchasers of 2012 cars about $1,600 at the pump over the life of a vehicle. And because car engines turn each gallon of gasoline into 25 pounds of carbon dioxide, the improvement will also keep about four tons of CO2 per car out of the atmosphere, the EPA estimates.
So why is the auto industry still resisting the new standards?
Virtually all the 2012 improvement came from cars. Automakers failed to shrink SUVs, minivans or pickups or raise their mileage. Overweight and cheaper to build because they lack much of the best technology, trucks achieve worse mileage than cars and spit out more pollution, and the auto companies seem reluctant to change that.
And, once again, American automakers delivered poorer gains in fuel economy than their competitors abroad. The best-performing automakers were Mazda, Honda and Toyota. Nearly all manufacturers improved their gas mileage, but GM and Chrysler improved less than the others and so fell further behind. Ford gained more than its domestic rivals, but its fleetwide fuel economy, like that of its Detroit competitors, is still below the industry average.
Before agreeing to the 13-year federal program, carmakers lobbied successfully to have the government evaluate the program near the midpoint. They called this midterm review their "exit ramp," betraying a hope they might use it to weaken the standards before they are fully implemented. Privately, a top industry advisor has warned that Detroit's Big Three are preparing for "a bloody fight" to weaken the federal standards.
The U.S. auto industry is also balking at standards set by California, the leader among states in fighting global warming.
Under California's requirements, adopted under a waiver from the EPA, about 15 per cent of the fleet sold here in 2025 will have to produce no tailpipe pollution. Seven other states have adopted the California standard, which is intended to increase sales of plug-in electric vehicles and cars powered by fuel cells or other nonpolluting systems. But the Automotive News reports that industry officials continue to fight the plan for zero-emission vehicles behind the scenes.
The industry has also begun lobbying to accelerate California's midterm review, perhaps hoping for a potential exit ramp just as the new rules are taking hold.
The companies continue to make money under the new rules, and they're doing so while more than meeting government mandates. According to the EPA, 28 per cent of this year's cars aren't just meeting current standards, they are hitting the mark for 2016 vehicles.
Meeting higher emissions standards is a matter of auto mechanics, not rocket science. The data show that companies are achieving the early targets even though they've only just begun to deploy their best technology. Three-quarters of 2012's cars and light trucks operated with six gears or more, helping deliver power to the wheels more efficiently. But only 23 per cent of 2012 vehicles employed direct fuel injection, which saves gas by ensuring more complete combustion.
Using gas-saving, high-strength, lightweight materials, automakers have shaved 150 pounds from the average vehicle. But according to Clarence M. Ditlow III, executive director of the Center for Auto Safety — with which our Safe Climate Campaign is affiliated — they should be able to cut at least twice that with no impact on safety.
The EPA's extensive report makes clear that setting ambitious requirements matters. From 1989 to 2007, automakers successfully resisted standards that would mandate significant improvements. But without a government mandate, auto companies continued to churn out antiquated technology and focused on SUVs and other trucks rather than building more efficient cars. Only when the government toughened standards did fuel economy go up and emissions fall.
The auto companies should be celebrating instead of kvetching. They are delivering profits to shareholders and cleaner cars to the public.
Dan Becker directs the Safe Climate Campaign, which advocates strong measures to fight global warming. James Gerstenzang, who covered the environment and the White House for the Los Angeles Times, is the campaign's editorial director.

JANESVILLE, Wis. (AP) -- A longtime Milton police officer has been found dead in an apparent suicide.
The body of 43-year-old police Lt. John Conger was found Sunday on a walking path in Janesville.
The Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation says an autopsy found Conger died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Conger had been with the Milton Police Department since May 1992.
WISC-TV reports Conger was involved in anti-bullying efforts in the Milton School District.
In a statement, Milton Police Chief Dan Layber called Conger a "dedicated officer who was committed to the Milton community."
Janesville police and the DCI are investigating with help from the Wisconsin State Crime Lab.

Homophobia Not Quite as Popular in America These Days
One of America's most cherished traditions is real danger of being washed away with the coming generation, if this new Gallup poll is to be believed.
It's hard to believe that our children may be forced to grow up in a society in which it is not culturally-acceptable to mock and subjugate gay people for being gay…
The slight majority of American adults, 54%, consider gay or lesbian relations morally acceptable. Public acceptance of gay/lesbian relations as morally acceptable grew slowly but steadily from 38% in 2002 to 56% in 2011 and is now holding at the majority level…
Gallup's longer-term question measuring U.S. attitudes about gays asks whether gay or lesbian relations should or should not be legal. The 63% now saying gay relations should be legal nearly matches the record-high 64% of a year ago, which came after a long-term increase in support for legality from 32% in 1986.
This is really great news for Republicans!
Oh, no, I don't mean the Republican Party. This probably doesn't bode well for that entity in its current incarnation. What I'm talking about is the the roughly two-fifths of all individual Republican legislators who won't face nearly as much of a backlash now when they get themselves Larry Craiged.
Congratulations, guys!

The first thing we noticed was the odd repetition of the same story. For a year my dad talked about the mediocrity of cafeterias in this country, a quirky account that became more bizarre the more he told it. He retired from the food business, owning a popular restaurant in Charleston, so his fixation seemed understandable, if eccentric.
Then my mother died and things went rapidly downhill. The normal overwhelming adjustment for widowers, my siblings and I thought, but in retrospect we realized that our father was already suffering from dementia and that my mother had been his corrective, reminding him to eat and take his medications, things that without her he failed to do.
Making sure dad got to doctors and engaged in sufficient self-care became more difficult. He stopped socializing with his golf buddies, wore the same dirty outfit day after day, and lost some of his teeth. Always stubborn, my dad refused to consider the idea of assisted living or even senior housing.
"My memories are here," he said, looking around the living room at the photographs covering the walls. We realized that he meant it literally as well as figuratively, that remembering was becoming a serious struggle.
For the past two years we've been able to keep dad in his home with a fulltime live-in caretaker, but her retirement left us scrambling to find other arrangements. After an exhaustive search we found a highly accredited graduated care facility close to relatives. Three weeks ago we moved him in.
On one hand getting him into a safe place with good care is a relief. On the other hand, making the decision for him instead of with him – treating a fiercely proud, independent man like a dependent child – feels like a betrayal of sorts.
Although there are several types of dementia, the odds are that my father is suffering from Alzheimer's disease. It's is the most common form of dementia, affecting more than five million Americans. According to the Alzheimer's Association, of the ten leading causes of death, Alzheimer's is the only one without a prevention or cure. It is the 6th leading cause of death for Americans. Ironically, between 2000 and 2010 the death rate for Alzheimer's increased 68 percent even as the prevalence of other illnesses, including heart disease, fell.
Although genetic mutations may make some people more susceptible, researchers believe the disease is caused by a multitude of factors, including environment and age. Autopsies of patients show characteristic amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and a breakdown between neurons in their brains, though no one is certain why or how these changes occur.
What is certain is that as the population grows older, the number of people diagnosed with Alzheimer's will increase, as will the financial toll and the emotional burden on caregivers.
For now the diagnosis is dire, but researchers are moving forward on finding the causes and possible treatments. Cholinesterase inhibitors can slow the progression in about half of all patients by six months to a year. Just this past week researchers published a study about a drug that stops the disease in mice with the genetic mutation leading to the same sort of brain pathology seen in human sufferers.
Until we have a cure, however, caring for our loved ones with dignity and compassion is the main focus.
One of the biggest surprises in caring for my dad has been how the entire family is affected. My siblings and I don't always agree on the best course of care nor are we able to share in the caretaking equally. When my dad has good days, we breathe a collective sigh of relief and keep our fingers crossed that his sunny mood will continue. When he has bad days, we second-guess our decision to move him from the home where he lived for 50 years and feel guilty about causing him stress.
Now when we forget something – a computer password, a bank pin number, someone's name – we also wonder if this is normal aging or the first signs that we, too, are starting to slip.
We know that eventually we will slip out of our father's mind as well, becoming strangers to the man who carried us around as babies, who bought us so many Christmas gifts that they wouldn't all fit under the tree. We struggle to hold on to those memories for him, reciting our stories and watching his eyes light up as he tells us things from the distant past where the ravages of time and disease haven't yet followed. It's a respite of sorts, a temporary oasis, and we're glad to have it.

Chris Pratt and Anna Faris: Married!by Free Britney at . Comments
Fending off rumors of an upcoming Hawaiian wedding, Anna Faris and her actor beau Chris Pratt now say they've tied the knot already. They showed us!
"Anna Faris and Chris Pratt were married in a small ceremony in Bali on July 9," the Observe and Report star's rep confirmed exclusively last night.
Tuesday night, the newly-married couple made an appearance at a summer party celebrating the Malibu Reef Check Partnership, which Faris hosted.
Faris sported her engagement ring while Pratt wore a gold wedding band.
Anna Faris, 32, and Chris Pratt, 30, got engaged early this year, and Faris said of Pratt, "He's awesome. He's a great, great guy. I feel really lucky."
She was previously married to Ben Indra from 2004-2007.
Faris next lends her voice to the animated Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs out in September and Pratt appears in the show Parks & Recreation.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
Chris Pratt is lucky, anna is a great and nice person she is the best comedy actress soo hope they will have a great life 2 gether
I think the fact that they did get married out of the media eye says great things about not only them but the future of their marriage. Weddings are meant to be all about the couple, not the couple's career. Best of luck to both of them.
Honestly, can you blame them for tying the knot on the sly? With the amount of publicity celebrity weddings get it's almost impossible to enjoy a day that is what it's meant to be-all about the bride and groom. I say congratulations!

Bus crashes into Boston overpass, 33 people hurt
First responders assist injured passengers from a charter bus that crashed in Boston Saturday night. (REUTERS/Boston Fire Dept./Handout)
The crash happened about 7:30 p.m. on Soldiers Field Road in Boston, according to Boston Emergency Medical Services spokeswoman Jennifer Mehigan.
Medical workers took 33 people to four area hospitals - 28 with minor injuries and five with serious injuries, Mehigan said. Some people had to be removed through the bus roof and strapped onto backboards, according to the Boston Fire Department's Twitter feed.
"A number of patients were trapped at some point during the incident," said Mehigan.
All of the victims had been removed from the bus by about 9:30 p.m. She said the fire department had to remove part of the roof of the private Calvary Coach charter bus to perform the rescues.
The bus was carrying high school students and adult chaperones from the Philadelphia area, according to Massachusetts State Police. The students had been in the Boston area to visit Harvard.
Authorities are investigating whether charges are warranted in crash. The bus driver was believed to have missed a sign prohibiting the bus from that road, according to state police.

WASHINGTON --Lucasfilm has announced that all of the books and comics that have been published to extend the Skywalker story after Return of the Jedi in 1983 -- known as the the Expanded Universe -- will not be part of the official Star Wars canon.
Which means their stories will have nothing to do with the upcoming movies, which are sequels to the 1983 film. It's as if they never existed, according to a report by Chris Taylor on Mashable on Friday.
"In order to give maximum creative freedom to the filmmakers and also preserve an element of surprise and discovery for the audience, Star Wars Episodes VII-IX will not tell the same story told in the post-Return of the Jedi Expanded Universe," reads the official announcement on Starwars.com.
Taylor points out that this means the multi-million-selling trilogy by author Timothy Zahn no longer happened. "Neither its much beloved Imperial villain Grand Admiral Thrawn, nor the popular former assassin Mara Jade, future wife to Luke Skywalker," Taylor wrote.
Instead, Zahn's books, and hundreds of others, will be repackaged under the title "Star Wars Legends." Any future all Star Wars media, including new novels from Del Rey Books, as well as the upcoming Star Wars Rebels TV animated series and video games, will be among the first releases to tell new canonical stories, Star Wars officials said Friday. "While the universe that readers knew is changing, it is not being discarded. Creators of new Star Wars entertainment have full access to the rich content of the Expanded Universe."
But as Taylor points out, "they [post-Jedi books, comics] were always second-class citizens in Star Wars canon, occupying a separate tier below the movies and TV shows ... now they're not in canon at all."
Star Wars fans, let the lamentations and confusion commence:
So basically with the news today that from now on the existing Star Wars EU is not canon Chewie's death is like Bobby Ewing's in Dallas— Daniel King (@BigDan1573) April 26, 2014
But not everyone sees this as the end of the world:
I don't get all the Star Wars EU rage. If you loved the EU it's all still there. It's up to you what "your" Star Wars canon is.— Aaron Sparrow (@Aaron_Sparrow) April 26, 2014

Another work week is done and looking forward to a cosy weekend I'm sharing these great photos of the UNO Image Photoshoot by Dutch photographer Paulina Arcklin that she recently published. All taken at Studio 13 in Amsterdam, carefully pre-planned to get it all done in that single space. Pretty remarkable results – Great looking fabrics!Read More Post a comment (9)
Today I'm sharing the remarkable bridge like JG House in Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Designed by MPGAA to blend with its surroundings with what I define as 'earthy' aesthetics using materials such as concrete, wood and dark steel. Amazing location and great light in this photo set taken by photographer Leonardo Finotti.Read More Post a comment (3)
Concrete is great! you know I think so by now, and when I stumbled upon the work of German based freelance photographer/artist Florian Müller I had to share it with you. Below you'll find 3 photo sets of concrete buildings he took photos of, most interesting being the church "Johannes XIII" by Josef Rikus.Read More Post a comment (3)

I've learned about the Los Faiques Dwellings in Yunguilla valley, Ecuador, following pixelpark's remarkable CG remake of this eye catching design by Duran & Hermida arquitectos asociados. Named after the trees occupying the site, the pavilion like structures blend in and open themselves towards the surroundings. There are amazing dusk shots in this photo set taken by photographer Sebastián Crespo.Read More Post a comment (0)
This backstage video, showing PhotoWork at work, is a great find by Juraj Talcik and a must watch for anyone interested in interior visualization, so I plug this one here too. It shows how much really goes into making a photo in terms of building the stage, styling, lighting, compositing, etc. I'm not so sure about Juraj's comment on his FB page that pure digital is still off in terms of quality compared to this. It is just one example, and the result here looks a bit CG to me after all the post-work done on it. I'm not at all sure about things ever being PURE digital… the IKEA case study clearly shows an advantage of mixing CG + Real Elements for that final ultimate Photo Real look.Read More Post a comment (0)

Tim Penn, who was the opening executive chef at Il Sole, has blown out of his most recent executive chef post at the lauded Bay Leaf restaurant in Deep Ellum. Bay Leaf owner Ronnie Crayton says Penn cut loose to pursue consulting exploits and to spend more time with his young daughter. Penn has been replaced by Bay Leaf chef Josh Hopkins. Hopkins, who has been in a virtual tag team with Penn for the last couple of years doing stints with him at Il Sole, Jeroboam and the Green Room before landing at Bay Leaf, will have a new Bay Leaf menu finished by the first part of June.

Thank you for carrying and selling the world's most expensive herb (Saffron) for a reasonable price and also a convenient and expeditious delivery of this product. Because of its expensive price it has become nearly impossible to find on local store shelves.
Good quality, packaged well for international travel.

its the first time I ever saw saffron. I didnt know so little would cost so much. I will try to find out how to grow it for myself. I have no idea whether or not what I recieved is a good example so I cannot rate it.

I was so jacked when the Packers drafted him. He is going to be real good for a long time.
Oh my. Fumbled snap cost them a chance at the game. Looks like something a junior high team does.
uh oh. looks like we have another autograph controversy on out hands at Ohio State.
Just. obnoxious.
The best part is all of the youth in the 2-deep. Awesome to see!
The kid has a lightning quick first step and even lays out for the ball. It seems like he wants it more than any Michigan player does.
I'm sure if they had fireworks after the game a few more people would have stayed.
Complete domination in all aspects of the game.
I remember when It came out that Herman was going to Ohio State so I watched his Iowa State bowl game that year. Same exact problems. The offense disappeared for most of the second and third quarter. At the time I thought it was because they were over matched talent wise, but really that is just how he calls games. Pretty sad to see nothing has really changed with him since then.
Wilson. Aong with Most TD's
The only time I really go to cbs sports is during march madness but the more I hear about them the more I like what they are putting out there.
I think him and Desmond Howard should put together their own rankings for us to laugh at.
His name kinda made me think of this little gem.
My favorite thing about his highlights is the last play. What a great block!
Give up hope for all of humanity and move to an island. Only as long as I can still watch football there.
I am pretty sure soccer stopped after the World Cup was over. How can they still be playing games?
I have one of my grandfathers old Manchester College baseball caps that I used to wear around quite frequently. The 'M' on the hat was very close to the Michigan 'm'. I ran into an old teacher who used to tout about how great his Michigan team was all the time (all I could do was take it. He was, after all, my teacher.) He saunters up to me and says something to the tone of becoming a real college football fan now. All I could do was say "this is a Manchester College hat. You can't even tell your own teams logo from this." Sure put him in his place real quickly.
Could this be the "bucksfan" thread of the new site?
Never heard of "Deep South Buckeye" but i'd rather be that than a program trying to sell seats with fireworks.
This feels like trying to draw fans to bad minor league baseball games.

What Happens When Paintings Come to Life | Alexa Meade
Artist Alexa Meade paints on an unconventional canvas: The Human Body. In turn, she transforms her 3D paintings into 2D photographic portraits. She slathers her subjects with paint and photographs them in the 3D space, transforming them into a form of digital paintings. Some of her canvas' would even go out in public to be placed on display.
But she did not stop there. She has even used milk as a medium, as well as water and mirrors to distort the image. These incredibly painted photographs have been featured internationally and will undoubtably get your creative energy going.
[rewind: Picture to Painting: Real Life Models]
The physical painting only lasts for a couple hours. It's the photo that endures.

text: Dennis Erskine, the CEO of Atlanta-based Erskine Group, says the owner of this California home theater has multiple outbuildings on the property, and one in particular, designed for storing farm equipment, was ready for a new life. A home theater enthusiast friend suggested the Erskine Group to handle the project and after sharing some concepts and photos of other home theaters, a plan was born—born in a barn, some might say. One of the first things the team did to make the barn a worthy entertainment venue was to install some heavy-duty sound isolation and insulation. These materials would prevent noise from a nearby airport from interfering with the surround-sound system.Most Majestic Home Movie Palaces

How do you handle this in a small studio? Reporting the manager would make it miserable for her. The manager has logged out others if they were nearling OT etc.
It seems this studio has many complaints from their locations all over the country regarding their employees. Each employee has a quota and it's "get em in - get em out" type of photograhy studio.
I'm stumped as to what to advise her to do. The studio, including the manager, consists of 20's something's. There's a lot of talking about other employees by the manager. She also communicates in her native language with another employee...


text: Monti gov't under fire as Berlusconi pulls support Print article Send a Tip AP 12/6/2012 5:04:53 PM (AP) Monti gov't under fire as Berlusconi pulls supportBy COLLEEN BARRY and VICTOR L. SIMPSONAssociated PressROMEConcerns over the stability of the Italian government grew on Thursday after Silvio Berlusconi's party withdrew its support, threatening to bring a premature end to Premier Mario Monti's ambitious reforms program.Berlusconi's center-right PDL party abstained from a confidence vote in the Senate on Thursday. Though Monti's government of unelected technocrats won the vote by 127 to 17, investors fear the move heralds a period of political uncertainty in the run-up to planned elections next year.Many credit Monti with restoring some investor confidence in the country, pulling it back from the edge of financial disaster.`'There is the whiff of crisis," political scientist Roberto D'Alimonte of Rome's LUISS University said on Sky TV 24. `'We will see in the next hours."Another confidence in the lower house is due later. Monti's government has survived numerous confidence votes in the year since it took office. But the political situation has grown particularly tense in recent weeks as campaigns intensify to elect a new government early next year, when Monti's mandate expires.PDL lawmaker Fabrizio Cicchitto said the party was expressing its dissent on the government's economic policies: "We have decided to give our assessment and to give a negative appraisal."As financial markets dropped on the news, President Giorgio Naptolitano, who tapped Monti last year after Berlusconi failed to persuade markets he could protect Italy from falling prey to the debt crisis, urged calm.`'It is necessary to cooperate responsibly on an orderly, not precipitous and not convulsive, conclusion of the legislature," Napolitano said in a statement.While the center-left Democratic Party, or PD, has been invigorated by recent primaries, Berlusconi's party is in disarray. The 76-year-old three-time premier has hinted that he will run again, despite earlier bowing out to give room to a younger candidate.Recent polls show the PD with a minimum of 30 percent and Berlusconi's PDL party trailing with less than 15.`'Certainly, today's PDL decision to withdraw its support for Monti is significant and tends to confirm that the next few months will be bumpy for the Monti government," said Unicredit analysts Chiara Corsa and Loredana Federico.After a period of seeming calm over Italy, investors have returned their focus to the country. Though the government is expected to win the second confidence vote, the developments highlight the fragile nature of the consensus in Italy over Monti's economic reform program, which includes liberalizing the labor market and increasing the pension age.The Milan stock exchange fell Thursday, with the benchmark FTSE MIB trading 0.7 percent lower, in contrast to most of Europe's main indexes, which were trading higher.The worries were evident in the bond markets too, where the yield on the country's 10-year bonds rose by 0.11 percentage points to 4.51 percent.The Italian economy, the third-largest of the 17 European Union countries that use the euro, is in recession as the government enacts tough measures to get a handle on its debts. Italy has the second-highest debt level as a percentage of its GDP in the eurozone. Only Greece's debt is higher.The popularity of Monti's government, over a year into power, has been somewhat weakened with the recession and political parties are positioning themselves for elections next year. Monti has said he would be available for a second term, but has excluded running for office. He could, however, be tapped if no party wins a clear majority.Berlusconi claims allies are pressing him to seek election again, hoping that Monti's painful austerity measures will win votes for the center-right.Economic Development Minister Corrado Passera angered Berlusconi supporters -- ostensibly the reason for Berlusconi's party to withhold support on the confidence votes -- by saying that it would not be good for Italy's image abroad `'to go back."`'We need to give the sensation that the country is moving ahead," Passera said on RAI state-run television.Besides showing poorly in the polls, Berlusconi also is appealing an October tax fraud conviction and awaiting a verdict in the coming weeks in his trial on charges of having sex with an underage woman and using his office to cover it up. He says he is innocent.Leading the polls at present is the center-left Democratic Party, led by party secretary Pier Luigi Bersani who handily won his party's nomination in a two-weekend primary that reinvigorated the left.While some smaller centrist parties have signaled that they would welcome another Monti term, Bersani has been particularly adamant that it is time for elected politicians to take over.He called the center-right's tactics `'irresponsible" and reaffirmed his party's loyalty and support of the Monti government during the present legislature.____Barry reported from Milan

- Summary: The Tyranny of King Washington is DLC for Assassin's Creed III in which you explore an alternate reality where George Washington has become a dictator that you must overthrow.
- Developer: Ubisoft Quebec
- Genre(s): Historic
- Cheats: On GameFAQs
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 0 out of 3
Mixed: 3 out of 3
Negative: 0 out of 3
Apr 23, 2013It's also impossible to overlook that not every hour of this short series is enjoyable. Episode 2 sometimes feels like AC3 at its worst: walking between cutscenes and completing tasks in which you have no real investment.
Apr 30, 2013The Redemption itself ends on a ho-hum note and, while it occasionally can be a fun time, it never reaches the point of being exceptional or even especially compelling.
Apr 25, 2013Despite being the best of the DLC packs, Redemption offers little to redeem The Tyranny of King Washington.
Score distribution:
Positive: 2 out of 2
Mixed: 0 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2
Nov 14, 2013The game contains 3 episodes each running from 2 to 4 hours long with side missions for those wanting 100% The story is a lot of fun and it wraps up showing you why George has gone mad! It's definitely worth the price, and I'd even go ahead to say that it's better than the main campaign. You're given 3 animal powers total, 1 each episode, and it blends in really well with the gameplay, and level design. Get this!… Expand

The Herricks Board of Education made its last presentation of its spending plan for the upcoming 2014-15 school year at the May 8 public meeting; it's all in the hands of the voters on Tuesday, May 20.
Assistant Superintendent for Business Helen Costigan led the discussion and stressed the "efficiency and effectiveness" of the spending plan to parents attending the meeting.
"The budget comes in at a total of $107,594,911, which is a budget-to-budget increase of 2.84 percent," she said. "The tax levy is 1.73 percent. We are under the tax cap, which this year is 1.4648 percent, but because of some adjustments, our levy is 1.73 percent, which is under the cap."
The Holy Spirit Roman Catholic Church in New Hyde Park will hold its first Parish Festival from Thursday, May 29 to Sunday, June 1. The festival should serve as a complement to the larger, village-sponsored New Hyde Park Street Fair held in September, but with rides and games.
"We want to bring some energy and something the parish hasn't had before," said Holy Spirit Pastor Frank Grieco. He came up with the idea to hold the festival. Grieco's past assignments in East Northport and Deer Park have held similar fairs.
"It's a way of bringing excitement and enthusiasm into the parish and local community," he said. "The village has been very supportive."
Grieco has been in New Hyde Park for 10 months. He broached the idea of a festival with parishioners and held festival committee meetings, which boasted 75 attendees or more.
"We're hoping for huge crowds every night," he said. "If that happens, everything else will fall into place."
Local entertainment will highlight the fair. The likes of former New Hyde Park Village Clerk Pat Farrell, Victor Cuneen and Tommy Deegan will perform classic rock and Irish music. Other acts include 15 Below, an alternative rock band, and EJ the DJ, a Ronkonkoma-based disc jockey.
"We want to reinvigorate the community and raise money for the parish at the same time," said Family Festival Committee Chairman Kevin Fitzgerald.
The parish is hoping to strengthen the "family dynamic" in New Hyde Park by holding a festival geared toward children.
Sewanhaka Central High School District residents will go to the polls next Tuesday, May 20 to vote on the proposed $86.6 million bond referendum. If approved, the bond would contribute significant upgrades and renovations to the district's five schools and two vocational buildings. Forty-seven percent of the bond would be covered by New York State aid.
Each taxpayers would need to pay an additional $114 per year. This is the second time the district has floated the bond, which failed last December by 293 votes.
"The long term cost of not doing this is going to be devastating to the school district in that in a tax levy cap world, the reason we need a bond at this point is that we've been unable to maintain the buildings as we should," said school board president Dave Fowler.
The Walk Street Tavern is a staple in the Village of New Hyde Park, the building having been around since the mid 1880s. Once used as a general store, an inn and a post office, the building is now a popular bar and restaurant that is considered a community favorite.
"This building has been a fixture in the village forever," said Walk Street Tavern owner Jimmy Tubbs. "It was used as a post office for many years in the 20th century, a bar up until 1943 and opened as Henry's Inn in 1971, before Walk Street took over in 2008."
Tubbs and partner Robert Kloepfer Jr. renovated the building in 2008, seeking to carry on the building's history as a place residents could go to relax and grab a bite to eat.
Hakeem Rahim just wants to help. He wants to use his experience to aid others who may be suffering from what he called "an uncontrollable terror." That terror was a panic attack and mental break. Rahim recently shared his story at a panel discussion in Washington, D.C., which focused on mental illness.
"I had delusions," he said. "I thought I was Neo from The Matrix. I was jumping off the walls. I had all the classic signs of someone who broke from reality. It's good to talk about it. It's not good to hold it in."
Rahim, who serves as a guest speaker for the nonprofit National Alliance on Mental Illness of Queens/Nassau (NAMI) in New Hyde Park, talks with students about his experiences before, during and after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2000. He's speaks regularly with local school districts, including New Hyde Park Memorial High School.
The New Hyde Park-Garden City Park Board of Education has begun reexamining current board practices, specifically district hiring policies with emphasis on transferring personnel between buildings.
Trustee Jennifer Kerrane expressed concerns that some teachers, while approved to work in each of the district's four buildings, are actually limited to only three. She says this can be detrimental to both the students as well as teachers who may face a transfer as a result of another employee not being able to work in a particular building.
"The board practice is that we don't employ a person in the building in which their child attends school," Superintendent Robert Katulak explains. "This rule applies to everyone from monitors and substitutes, all the way up to administrators."
The Herricks Community Players have tackled classics like The Music Man and Guys and Dolls, but its current production, Funny Girl, is its most ambitious yet. The play, which opened last week, will feature shows on May 9, 10, 16 and 17 at 8 p.m.
Community Players director John Hayes first produced Funny Girl in 1982 for Herricks. Hayes has always wanted to revisit the production and helped pick the key players. He's been the director for 36 years, running 67 performances.
"I've been thinking about it for a while and now we're finally doing it," he said. "We have a great cast; about 35 in the cast."
Brasserie translates to "brewery" in the English language, but the English term is more commonly use for a fairly upscale high end bistro. These meanings come together inside the Inn at New Hyde Park, at a restaurant known as Brasserie 214. Serving a wide selection of European cuisine, this bistro also boasts one of the widest selections of beer lists on Long Island.
"Brasserie 214 came about in 2007, after extensive renovations to the Inn's event facility," said Restaurant General Manager Chris Anthony. "We feature many selections from Europe, including menu items from France, Northern Italy, Belgium, Germany, and Scandinavia."
The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island (RMH-LI) in New Hyde Park is entering Phase II of Project Design, a renovation initiative that will bring together more than 45 of America's leading interior designers. Last summer, Phase I transformed a portion of the house, adjacent to Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children's Medical Center of New York. Phase II will add of 24 bedrooms, four kitchens, five common areas, laundry rooms and a brand new fitness center and meditation room. RMH-LI is a home-away-from-home for families of seriously ill children.
The upcoming bond referendum vote in the Sewanhaka Central High School District has dominated school board meetings since the district announced a second plan to renovate its five buildings. The new $86.61 million bond will be used for renovations and infrastructure projects in the district's five high schools and up for vote on May 20. The district tried to float a $99.5 million bond, which failed before voters last December by 293 tallies.
At the April 22 board meeting, New Hyde Park resident Christine Grincato asked if the board would be providing a line-item budget for the newly revised bond.
"How much would go for the roof? How much would go for the auditorium? I don't see that information online or in the presentation," she said. "I think that's really important for people to see where the money is going to go."

Ideally suited to soundtrack über-hip coffeehouses, the work of Berlin-based Gold Panda recalls forebears like DJ Shadow in his propensity to loop hypnotic snippets of dialogue atop mildly booty-shaking beats. The DJ and producer's sophomore album, Half of Where You Live, draws from his recent international travels for inspiration in both selecting song titles ("Brazil," "Enoshima") and pushing the boundaries of his ambient electronica sound in a world-music-nodding direction.

- Live_2_Eat May 7, 2009 01:19 PM
We are staying on 6th Ave between 38th and 39th, any really good eats within a 20 min walk? BF/Lunch/Dinner, any budget, any ethnicity,any style, just need suggestions for some great spots/dishes that should be hit around here. We will be here for 3 days and doing a variety of things, so all recs are appreciated! Thanks in advance.
You must be staying at the Residence Inn. Search the board for an almost identical question from a few weeks ago, and enjoy your visit!
a good friend of mine swears by The Windfall on 39th Street, between 5th and 6th Ave.
check them out on
Macaron Cafe on 36th close to 7th has very good salads and sandwiches, interesting decor, good drip coffee. The macarons are ok. Fun place, but it's real small, so go at an off hour. Or if you want to get some takeout food to eat in Bryant Park (6th Ave & 40th), this is good choice.
You're also close to Koreatown, roughly bordered by 36th St, 32nd St, 5th Ave, and 6th Ave. Closest to you is Madangsui, on 35th, north side, real good Korean bbq.
20 minutes will take you a lot of places in Manhattan. You could walk down to Union Square or pretty much anywhere in Midtown, which opens you up to a lot of places. I just listed the two closest things that I like.

Zeytin's (good for grab/go to be enjoyed in the park
)Szechuan Gourmet

re: mbs
I work right by there so know the area well:
1- Le Pain Quotidien - they have a bunch of open face sandwiches that are yummy, great cappucinos, etc. It's a table service place... quieter at night, but usually packed for lunch. It's on 40th b/w 5 & 6. Much of the food is creative and healthy.
2 - I second Barbes... great Moroccan place.
3- Lazarra's -39 b/w 7th and 8th - arguably one of hte best pizza places in NY... It's set on the 2nd floor of the old townhouse. It's crazy during lunch (usualyl half an hour wait for a table), but is really romantic for dinner (they light candles and stuff).
4 - Arno's - expensive, old-school Italian place with killer food. It's been around for about 40 years. All the waiters wear tuxedos. I think they do a nightly show called Murdered by the Mob, but have never been. My boss takes me here often for lunch, and I always love it.
5 - Thai Select on 9th ave b/w 36th and 37th is a good bet for Thai.
6 - Ktown has a host of good korean food. There's a restaurant on the corner of 33rd(?) and 6th that I like to frequent.
re: rebus03
Never heard of Amo's. What do you like to eat there?
Some of the places I like in the neighborhood
1. Shake Shack -- it is about a 15-20 minute walk; lots of reports on this board; my favorite is the double stack -- a shack burger combined with a deep-fried cheese-filled portobello mushroom burger
2. Hyo Dong Gak -- for Korean-Chinese food; ignore the items like beef and broccoli and stick with things like jia jiang myun (noodles with black bean sauce) and jjham bhong (spicy noodle soup with veggies and seafood)
3. Sushi Yasuda -- one of the best sushi restaurants in NYC; will probably need reservations; about a 15 minute walk
4. Aburyia Kinnosuke -- Japanese grill/izakaya; can try a lot of small things; need to make a reservation, about a 15 minute walk
5. Madangsui -- Korean BBQ; just a few blocks away
6. Olympic Pita -- Israeli restaurant -- only have had the falafel and schwarma; if you go, make sure you get it on laffa bread (may be an extra dollar or so) but so worth it
7. Szechuan Gourmet -- just half a block from where you are; probably the best Sichuan restaurant in Manhattan; my favorites are mabo tofu, crispy lamb with cumin, fish with hot bean sauce, prawns with pork and asparagus; they also do a hot pot that is not on the menu
8. Wichcraft -- Colicchio's casual sandwich chain located in Bryant Park; makes a terrific lunch if the weather is nice
9.Keen's -- for steaks and mutton chops
10. Lazzaras for grandma style pizza
11. DB Bistro -- one of Daniel Boulud's restaurants; known for their DB burger -- made of up ground beef, braised short ribs, foie gras and truffles
12. Sushi Zen -- a bit closer than Yasuda; I prefer Yasuda as it's a better value and I feel the fish is better. But Sushi Zen is closer to where you are and most likely won't need reservations
13. Macaron Cafe -- I like their sandwiches; not crazy about the macarons. Workers there are really nice. If you're in the mood for macarons, I would walk down to Chelsea to Le Madeleine Bakery.
14. Pio Pio -- Peruvian roast chicken restaurant; get the chicken; avoid the ceviche
15. Artisanal -- Terrance Brennan's bistro with an emphasis on cheese; perfect place for dinner or just a flight of wines and cheeses
16. BCD Tofu -- a Korean restaurant that specializes in soon-tofu (a soft spicy Korean casserole) -- tastes better than it sounds
17. Trini-Pak cart -- street cart on 43rd and 6th that serves delicious curried chicken and basmati rice (make sure you get the white, not yellow rice); can eat it at Bryant Park which is one block away
18. Saravannas or Tiffin Wallah for vegetarian Indian food; Dhaba for non-veg Indian food
19. Wolfgang's Steakhouse -- I haven't been, but DH has and likes it better than Luger for the porterhouse
20. Hill Country -- haven't been there yet, but have read good reports for BBQ
21. Esca -- one of Batali's upscale seafood restaurants; it is on the pricey side
re: Miss Needle
Great list! I love #4. Even with Yasuda-san heading home, #3 is great. Why not add the back room at Smith & Wollensky or the front room at PJ Clarke's?

For a quick bowel of chinese noodle soup go to Main Noodle House about a block or two away right on the west side of sixth avenue (1011 6th Ave/212 869 0888)
Barbes (Moroccan) on 36 between Mad & 5th is great, venture through K-town, Also recommend Lazarra's (voted Top 10 pizza in NYC) on 38th between 7th & 8th.... excellent pizza. Avoid it during 12:30-2pm tho... the lines can be pretty bad.
Evergreen is a great choice for traditional Chinese food. I had lunch there yesterday, and it was excellent: Steamed juicy buns, Dungpo Pork (Roast Pork in Clay Pot), and black sesame rice balls for dessert. The service was solid, and the food is authentic, based on my little bit of experience in Taipei and also as evidenced by the number of larger parties of Chinese people having events upstairs each time I've gone.
