There is a certain bit of informal... inappropriate... unprofessional behavior from SOE -- that... I kind of enjoy!
Login or Register to never see this panel
I was called a hacker twice now. Once because i was killing people inside their spawn room because C4 and grenade blast can hit them...
The other time, and this was hilarious, some 5 man "were behind enemy lines and here to cause mayhem" group got wiped about 3 times in a row by me, alone, untill i found their sunderer and killed it.
First time i ran into them i was a bit scared, 5 guys not extecting it ect. Untill they all start shooting wildly at me from the hip, i scoped and head shot one thne moved on to the next killing all. I decided to stay there (we had biodome regens going so i healed up)...then...again i see them, proceed to repeate the same incident.
Not im curious that i saw them twice in the same spot about 45-60 seconds apart...wheres the sunderer at. See them again hanging around it, mid ranged head shots for all and then i pull out the rocket launcher and finish the sunderer off.
They did port in a few before the sundeerer was dead and they did kill me that time...with tons of yell taunts that they finally killed the hacker and for everyone to report me ect.
My regret was not video recording the incident. They were beyond horrible and im going to assume that every encounter they have will be against "hackers" if they are at the skill level i saw.
I also played with a few people who, to them, every kill on them was from a hacker. I had to get them into a LA and show them what was happening for them to believe that it was possible and not hackers. We ended up killing the hackers and the morale of the story was in both cases the accusers were beyond retarded and very poorly skills (though both times in denial)
Hackers do exist, its much more rare than you think, and in this game its easy to die, and being new or poorly skilled and in denial makes it seems like everyones running aimbots with wall hacks...doesnt make it so.
I support deleting hack threads, it just snowballs into a game where two things happen. One, everyone assumes everyones hacking and two, it legitimizes others to hack since you know...everyone else is doing it.
Next comes the "i was banned for no reason" threads...

And on, and on....
And most of that I have personally seen.
The fact is that SOE knew about all these all the way back into beta and before, and yet has not fixed the problems (and this was months ago).
So, fine, they are not ignorant of the problem, they are simply incompetent to the point that they can not even trouble shoot the code that they themselves wrote.
But then, this is SOE we are talking about.
Same exact thing happened with DCUO and that game crashed within a couple months of launch.

I find it funny that people are shocked when there is hacks in a shooter game lol.
Every shooter game i can think of has had hacks, why do people think PS2 would be any different.
Just hope SOE actualy does something about it, PS1 they didnt seem to do much about from what i hear.

I am not charging money for a product/service... they are.
And yes, there are a number of things, both commercial and custom that could be done to fix some of these exploits that I know about, and plenty of others do too. (Punkbuster, server side sanity checks, mode vs movement speed checks, etc) And all of that should have been considered when doing the coding in the first damn place.
But fixing bugs/exploits has never been important to SOE, because it is money spent for "no tangible" gain, in their way of thinking, as opposed to coming up with a new bunch of stuff for the cash shop. Which is where the programmer time goes.
If I am wrong, then why has SOE been glacially slow to fix bugs/exploits in ever title they have put out so far?
Even when it drives the game into the ground, like DCUO?

SOE's previous games, especially DCUO, were not exploited and unfixed for long periods? Plenty of threads on here to look at for that...
That's what "boosters" with no answers do when they have nothing: name calling.
SOE, unlike plenty of smaller gaming houses, have plenty of money to fight hacks/cheats, so why aren't these exploits fixed or weren't they fixed when they were known about in beta?
Because SOE did not care enough to bother hiring the people to do it.

But yes they are deleting them to improve image I guess and make the forums look better. Although, one day I woke up to check the forums and all but 4-5 threads were about hackers on the first page. They got deleted eventually.
Also the giant issue about the 500 sc monthly, they literally deleted at least 20 of these threads within an hour. Claiming stated reason as "8) Abide by moderator and SOE employee actions and direction - self-explanatory." no matter what the contents of the post. They eventually made a non stickied offical one after tons of complaints.
It is rather funny the nonsense they delete your posts for, so one time I posted a video fully of someone using an aimbot since someone was unsure if they existed and got this.
"This message is to inform you that I have removed your comment below for linking a video to exploits. When posting, make sure your comments abide by SOE policy."
I have to ask a question, how was that a video of an exploit, I mean it would have made more sense to claim it was advertising, or hacking, anything else would have made more sense but they went with that. This moderation isn't new though for them though, also they will mark you even if your not the op and they delete the thread.

Mesage flashed up on Miller last night from an admin saying they had banned a bunch of hackers and asking players to keep reporting cheaters.
Still see a lot of the known cheats running around though.
Expresso gave me a Hearthstone beta key.....I'm so happy :)

The SOE crusade to ban PS2 hackers is becoming more interesting than the game itself. Talk about fighting off unending hordes along a never-ending journey to the mythical mountain where evil resides - we are talking solid fantasy literature here.
Our hero starts out resolute. Darkness will be banished. Light will be triumphant. He steps forward and lops off the head of a few baddies. See! Take up hope!
Then he looks and sees it was just the first wave. There are more - many more. And as fast as he kills them, they seem to return as if sprouting from the ground. The monsters also become more challenging, cunning, destructive. Our hero begins to flag.
But he will not yield - never! And yet, what is he willing to do himself to win? Will he place the greater good at the service of lowly means? Is he willing to risk becoming what he is fighting against? Ruthless, devious, obsessed....
Smedley has thrown down the gauntlet. He has also made this Haruhi a God-Prophet of the Hackers (assuming Haruhi has the English-language proficiency and interest in assuming the role of Arch-Nemesis).
This Unexpected Journey has just begun...

Its funnt when you and about 15 guys run up over a hill and all of the sudden you are all 1 shot killed all by the same guy. Or speedy gonzales running across the map at super fast speed. Actualy see an aimbot in work and hes on your team, go to shoot him and cant because hes got god mode on. Take pictures, videos, and 100 people saying the same thing about the same person.............. and we are the bad guys for posting the stuff lol.
Seems like they protect the hackers more than the legit players.
Seriously, what harm is it if the person is shown on the forum hacking? We alreay know your game is full of them and they are taking over.
Ill give them a week, if nothing is done by then, I will delete. No point in wasting my time if they dont care about their own game.

This is the perennial question, and there is no right or wrong answer. You have to weigh up a few variables before making a decision and the biggest one is what is your budget.
You can buy a computer now with the intention of using it for 3 or 4 core things, and then end up getting into other things and wonder if just a slightly faster machine would have been better. My advice would be to buy the best machine you can afford right now.
There are some big differences between the i3 and the top end i7. Cache size, virtual machine compatibility, turbo-mode (where single threaded applications get a huge boost) etc. Clock for clock, the i7 is about 35% faster than the i3, and the i5 about 20% faster. Given the $200 difference between the 3.06 ghz Core i3 and the 3.66ghz Core i5, I'd probably pay it. Both chips can do 4 threads with their two cores. The i7 on the iMac is a lot more because you have to buy the bigger model - however if you're getting the 27" screen, the i7 might be worth it.
In 5 years time, I am sure either machine will still run applications perfectly well, but the i7 will keep up a lot better than an i3. Mac users haven't really be exposed to such large processing differentials before, only clock speed differences, but the i3 is like the old Celeron to the old Pentium 3, if you can remember that far back.
In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is stoned to death.

Libertyville officials will consider the issue of allowing chickens in town. The matter on Tuesday was referred to the village board's special projects committee for future discussion after Mayor Terry Weppler said he had received questions from four or five residents regarding the practice. "Residents have the right to petition the government," Weppler said. Chickens are allowed on property of five acres or more that include a maximum of one home.

Visiting Person edges Jordan for 2nd time this season
Played at a breakneck speed worthy of the playground blacktops with the turnovers and transition points to accompany it, the Roxboro Person boys edge Jordan for the second time this season with a 70-67 victory on Tuesday.
The Rockets played with an energy that contrasted greatly to that of a nine-point loss at Hillside Monday that was both inspired and perplexing.
"I don't know how to explain it," Person coach Charles Dacus said of his team's turnaround from a night earlier. "Our guards take these games against Jordan as a challenge. I wish we could bottle it (this game's performance) up."
In their first game against each other this season, the Rockets defeated the Falcons 75-74.
From the get-go, Tuesday's game was one of streaks.
Josh Thompson capped an early run by the Falcons with a transition layup in the first quarter to give them a 10-5 lead.
Marquis Torain and Tré Tapp evened the score at 14-14 for the Rockets with back-to-back field goals late in the first quarter. Mike Lee responded with a tip-in basket for the Falcons. But Jeff Hamlette scored on a last-second shot for the Rockets to even the score at the end of the first quarter.
It was not the last of Hamlette's dramatics. The senior forward scored another buzzer beater off an offensive layup to knot the score up at halftime 34-34.
"He (Hamlette) does a lot of good things for us," Dacus said. "He plays defense, rebounds and is a capable scorer.
"Tonight, he was in the right place at the right time."
After Jordan started off the second half on a 10-2 run, Person responded with an 8-2 run of its own as Antwon Smith threw an alley-oop dunk for Jeremy Smith.
With Person leading by one point with 15 seconds to go and Jordan pressing hard near the half court line, guard Rashi Richmond found Torain near the top of the key. Torain then found a wide-open driving line and used it to make an easy layup, giving the Rockets a three-point lead.
Jordan failed to find an open player on the next play as Chris Braswell heaved a contested 3-pointer that was untrue.
In the girls game, the Falcons defeated the Rockets 64-32. The Falcons were led by Kaitlyn Eichelb3rger, Rachel Ruderman and Salita Green who scored 12, 11 and 10 points, respectively.
The Falcons' defense was tough, holding the Rockets to fewer than 10 points in three of the four quarters.

Pfizer Donates $3.5 Million to Border Health
By Evan Woodward
Las Cruces, NM – Wednesday pharmaceutical company Pfeizer announced it's donating 3.5 million dollars to ten community health centers along the U.S. Mexican Border. The company has formed what it calls The Alliance for a Healthy Border with sixteen health centers in both nations. As KRWG's Evan Woodward reports, the money will be used specifically for diabetes prevention and awareness.

Matadors Face Pac 12's Beavers and Huskies on the Road
The Cal State Northridge women's basketball team (2-0) heads to the Pacific Northwest this weekend to face two foes out of the Pac 12 Conference. On Thursday, Nov. 17, the Matadors meet Oregon State in Gill Coliseum for a 7 p.m. contest. Two days later, CSUN will head to Seattle to face Washington at the Alaska Airlines Arena. Both games will feature live stats and live audio on GoMatadors.com. For the Nov. 17 contest with Oregon State, a free video feed will also be available. A link for that video feed can be also be found on GoMatadors.com.
Last week the Matadors jumped out to just their second 2-0 season start in the program's Division-I history. In the season opener at San Francisco, the Matadors overcame a seven point deficit at halftime to earn the school's first victory ever over the Dons. In the game, freshman guard Ashlee Guay led the Matadors with 17 points, eight rebounds and five steals.
Three days later, the Matadors took out another West Coast Conference opponent, defeating LMU 79-62 for their first win over the Lions in 14 years. Senior Jasmine Erving recorded her 14th career double-double by finishing with a team-high 28 points and 14 rebounds. Janae Sharpe, Violet Alama and Kaitlyn Petersen all scored in double figures as the Matadors produced 15 assists to just nine turnovers.
This week, CSUN again faces two teams from the same conference, Oregon State and Washington. The Beavers are off to a quick 2-0 start after two home wins and Washington will be looking to avenge a one point home loss to fellow Big West member UC Davis on opening day.
Next week, the Matadors host the Woodland Hills Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Basketball Classic 2011 at The Matadome on Nov. 25 and 26. West Virginia, Colgate and UCLA will all participate in the two-day tournament.
CSUN's Dr. J
Senior Jasmine Erving picked up right where she left off last season, helping the Matadors to a pair of victories in their opening weekend. In the season-opener at San Francisco, Erving overcame a difficult shooting night to finish with a team-high 11 rebounds and a career-high seven steals. Three days later, she poured in a game-high 28 points and 14 rebounds in the Matadors' victory at LMU. During the game with the Lions, she surpassed 1,100 career points and also moved into fifth in school history with 447 career field goals. Erving stands just nine rebounds shy of moving into sixth in school history and she was named to the All-Big West Preseason Team.
Roses are Blue, Violets are Matador Red
Junior Violet Alama produced her sixth career double-double in the Matadors' victory at San Francisco, finishing with 15 points and 10 rebounds in the victory. Then in CSUN's win at LMU, she added 14 points, including two 3-pointers, and eight rebounds. Through the two games, Alama is shooting a team-high 52.6 percent (10-of-19) from the field. Last season, she averaged 10.9 points, 5.8 rebounds and shot 79 percent from the free throw line.
A Guay with Words
Freshman Ashlee Guay wasted little time making an impact for the Matadors. In the season-opening victory over San Francisco, Guay scored a team-high 17 points and added eight rebounds and five steals. Against LMU, she added eight points and five assists. Through two games, Guay is 9-of-10 from the free throw line and has seven steals.
Mighty Sharpe
Freshman Janae Sharpe was a big part of the Matadors' two victories during their opening weekend. In the season opener at San Francisco, she came off the bench to score 14 points and add four rebounds. Three days later, Sharpe had 11 points, eight assists and five steals as the Matadors won at LMU for the first time since the 1990 season. For the year, Sharpe is 13-of-17 (.765) from the free throw line and is tied for the team lead with eight steals.
Petersen Provides Productive Performances
Sophomore Kaitlyn Petersen scored in double-figures in both Matador victories last week. A transfer from Gonzaga, Petersen scored 10 points and had three rebounds and two steals in the season-opening victory at San Francisco. Against LMU, she added 11 points, including three 3-pointers, to go along with three rebounds and a steal. For the season, Petersen has hit a team-high four 3-pointers.
Turkey Talk
For the third-straight year, the Cal State Northridge women's basketball program will be hosting a four-team tournament around the Thanksgiving Holiday Weekend. This year, CSUN and the Woodland Hills Holiday Inn have partnered to bring out a group of tough and talented teams to the San Fernando Valley on Nov. 25 and 26. Competing this year will be West Virginia, UCLA, Colgate and Northridge. The Lady Mountaineers and Bruins will open the festivities with a 5 p.m. contest on Nov. 25, followed by a match-up between Colgate and Northridge at approximately 7:30 p.m. The following day, the two losing teams from the previous day will meet in the consolation game at 5 p.m., with the championship game following 30 minutes later.
Already a Season of Firsts
Northridge has already accomplished several notable feats through the first two games of the 2011-12 season. The Matadors' victory over San Francisco on Nov. 11 was the program's first ever against the Dons and head coach Jason Flowers' first career non-conference win. The win also marked the first time Northridge won a season opener since teh 2004-05 season. CSUN's win against LMU was the program's first since 1997 and the first win at LMU since the 1990 season. Finally, Northridge has started 2-0 for the first time since the 1998-99 season.
Preseason Prognostications
The Matadors were picked to finish seventh by the members of the media in the Big West Conference Preseason Poll, earning 73 points. Senior Jasmine Erving was named to the All-Big West Preseason Team, becoming the first Northridge player to earn the distinction under head coach Jason Flowers. Cal Poly was picked to win the league with 11 first-place votes and 200 total points. Erving and freshman Janae Sharpe also received recognition on the College Sports Madness All-Big West Preseason Team, with Erving earning First Team honors and Sharpe being named Freshman of the Year.
Scheduling Story
The Matadors have a formidable schedule in front of them for the 2011-12 season. Northridge has four teams on its ledger who qualified for the 2011 NCAA Tournament (UCLA, West Virginia, Fresno State and UC Davis). In addition to those squads, CSUN will face four teams that participated in the 2011 WNIT (UC Riverside, Cal Poly, UC Santa Barbara and Pepperdine) and one team that competed in the WBI Classic (CSU Bakersfield). The team opens with its first four games on the road and then plays five of its next six at home, which includes hosting the Woodland Hills Holiday Inn Thanksgiving Basketball Classic 2011 on Nov. 25 and 26.
Scouting Oregon State
The Beavers of Oregon State enter Thursday night's game at 2-0 on the year with wins over Division-II Western Oregon and Big Sky member Montana State. Earlysia Marchbanks is averaging 18 points and 6.5 rebounds and Ali Gibson checks in at 16.5 points and 4.0 rebounds through the first two games. Scott Rueck is in his second season as the head coach of the Beavers. Last year, Oregon State defeated CSUN 49-32 at the Jack in the Box Rainbow Wahine Classic in Honolulu. The all-time series between the two schools is tied at 1-1.
Scouting Washington
Washington and CSUN will meet for the second time ever on Saturday, Nov. 19. Last season, the Huskies took a 73-55 victory at The Matadome. This year, Washington enters a Nov. 16 date with Seattle 0-1 after a one-point loss to UC Davis in its season opener on Nov. 11. In the loss to the Aggies, Regina Rogers had 21 points and 11 rebounds while Mercedes Wetmore, Jazmine Davis and Kellie McCann-Smith all finished in double-figures. Kevin McGuff is in his first season as the head coach of the Huskies after spending nine seasons at Xavier.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M.-- Senior third baseman Dane Hamilton hit for the cycle and went 7-for-11 on the day, leading the Lobos to a doubleheader sweep over Binghamton, 30-2 and 8-1, Saturday at Isotopes Park. UNM is 12-2 while Binghamton falls to 1-5.
In Game One, Hamilton led the Lobos' offensive explosion with six hits, six runs and six RBI. The six runs scored and six hits ties a school record, which was last set by Brian Cavazos-Galvez on April 12, 2008. Hamilton finished with two triples, two singles, a double and a home run.
The Lobos struck for four in the first and second inning to jump out to an 8-0 lead. In the first inning, Hamilton collected his first RBI with a groundout to second to score Mike Brownstein who had doubled to left to lead off the inning. With two outs, catcher Rafael Neda doubled to center and Ryan Honeycutt reached on an error to give the Lobos two runners aboard. Cavazos-Galvez followed with an RBI bunt single to score Neda and Kevin Atkinson doubled to left center one batter later to plate Honeycutt and Cavazos-Galvez. The four Lobo runs in the second came courtesy a Neda two-run double and RBI singles from Hamilton and Cavazos-Galvez.
Binghamton added a tally in the top of the fourth and fifth to cut the deficit to 8-2, but UNM took care of the scoring from there. After adding one in the fourth and two in the fifth, New Mexico cranked out nine runs in the sixth and 10 in the eighth. The 30 runs and 31 hits ranks second all-time in school history, while the 56 at-bats ties for third and 28 RBI ties for first.
Neda finished 5-for-6, scoring five runs and driving in five, while Atkinson collected four RBI and three hits.
Righty Travis Dirk (2-0) scattered eight hits over six innings to collect his second win of the season. Rudy Jaramillo, Joey Castleman and Brett Haggerty each pitched an inning of scoreless relief.
While the Lobos didn't score quite as much in Game Two, the offense was still plenty. New Mexico claimed a 7-0 lead before the Bearcats even pushed across a run.
Neda got things going for UNM, belting his second homer of the season to lead of the top of the second. One batter later, Atkinson legged out a triple to right center and scored via a Chris Juarez double down the left field line to give UNM the 2-0 edge.
The Lobos used an RBI groundout by Willett and an RBI single from Cavazos to make it 4-0 in the third before adding three in the fifth, including run-scoring doubles from Hamilton and Cavazos-Galvez.
Daniel Gonzalez capped the Lobo scoring with their seventh double of the day in the bottom of the eighth, a shot down the left field line to score Cameron Smith.
Bobby Moore (3-0) tossed six innings allowing only one hit for his third win. Seniors Will Kerr and Daniel Grubbs combined for three innings of relief, surrendering only three hits.
The Lobos continue action Sunday, March 8, at noon at Isotopes Park.

This one loves a dry, hardscrabble roadside, below a stop sign or a traffic marker or maybe the open edge of a gravelly parking lot. You get the idea.
Or you might see it in what we call an overgrazed pasture: horses and cows tend to avoid it, so the plants can go crazy, without too much danger of being munched on.
The plants have a bitter or acrid taste, so it makes sense that livestock dont care for it very much. In fact, some say that cows which have eaten this plant will produce bitter milk.
You can try chewing on this plant to see what it tastes like, but beware, it IS slightly toxic!
The leaves are narrow, thin and needle-like. They are fragrant, when crushed, in a sort of sweetly medicinal, camphor-like way, but many people will say that they are just plain stinky. As the plants get older (and taller), they tend to lose their lower leaves, which may remain attached to the stem for a while, turning brown. Most people would probably think that such a plant is a bit shabby-looking.
Perhaps this species makes up for its bitterness by being beautiful. When in full bloom and in large patches, the plants make a spectacular show. Of course, this is another member of the sunflower family, and, up close, you can see the arrangement of tiny flowers, congested into heads at the ends of the branches.
A single head will have several dozen inconspicuous yellow disk flowers on a rounded or globose receptacle, something like a tiny tennis ball. You will recall that other composites, such as coneflowers, have a sort of conical receptacle. Most other members of the sunflower family have a receptacle that is quite flat.
Eight or nine bright yellow, showy ray flowers form a ring around the outside of the tennis ball. These rays are notched, or lobed, on their ends.
The plants can get as tall as 2 feet or so, although sometimes they will bloom when just a few inches high, especially if growing in rough terrain or if they get mowed a lot.
This species is native to the Southeast and extends north to New England and west through Missouri and Texas. In South Carolina, it occurs in every county, but is most common in the Coastal Plain and Piedmont. This species has a number of cousins in the same genus.
This species is a real survivor and can grow in any sandy or gravelly place, blooming like mad during the hottest and driest parts of the summer. You can probably find a few surviving flower heads even in the middle of winter. It would probably look great on a patio, grown in pots and given lots of fertilizer.
Has anyone ever tried it? Why not?!

The Medicare Trust Fund will run out of money in 2024, the federal government told Congress on Monday in its annual Medicare Trustees report.
"Medicare's Hospital Insurance Trust Fund will have resources sufficient to cover benefits until 2024, the same year that was projected in last year's report," Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said in a statement.
The annual report from the Medicare trustees — a board that includes Geithner and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius — projects the time when Medicare expenses will be higher than what it collects in taxes.
"Hospital insurance expenditures have exceeded income annually since 2008 and are projected to continue doing so under current law in all future years," HHS said in a statement.
According to the Congressional Research Service, the Medicare trustees have predicted the program would become insolvent almost every year since they started issuing reports in 1970.
In one section of the report Richard Foster, who is the independent actuary for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, sounded a warning on the 2010 health reform law, his third such warning in three years.
"While the Affordable Care Act makes important changes to the Medicare program and substantially improves its financial outlook, there is a strong likelihood that certain of these changes will not be viable in the long range," Foster wrote in the report. "Without unprecedented changes in health care delivery systems and payment mechanisms, the prices paid by Medicare for health services are very likely to fall increasingly short of the costs of providing these services."
The trust funds are financial accounts within the Treasury Department that serve as a sort of clearinghouse for revenues that come in and expenditures that are paid out. Medicare has two different trust funds, one for hospitals, skilled nursing facilities and hospice, and another primarily for physicians.
The report notes that its primary analysis depends on some unrealistic expectations. It assumes that Congress will not override a physician payment formula that would mean dramatic pay cuts for doctors. It also assumes that the 2010 health care reform law's provisions will work as planned and without changes from Congress.
"The Trustees believe that this outcome, while plausible, will depend on the achievement of unprecedented improvmeents in health car eprovider productivity," it says.
The report also assumes that across-the-board cuts will be imposed as part of the budget sequester next year. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires a 2 percent reduction in Medicare rates.
Sebelius said the report's conclusions support the Obama administration's approach to Medicare reform. The cost-savings achieved through the health care reform law, she said at a press conference, are proof that Medicare can be preserved without an overhaul.
"Today's report shows that this approach can work," she told a news conference. "Without the health care law, the hospital insurance trust fund would be exhausted in 2016, just four years from now,"
That message is at odds with the conclusions of the report itself, which urges big reforms to ensure that Medicare's trust funds will not run out. The program is under increasing pressure not just because health care prices are rising, but also because the retirement of the Baby Boom generation means the population of beneficiaries has begun to explode and will continue to rise.
"Consideration of further reforms should occur in the near future," the report says. "The sooner solutions are enacted, the more flexible and gradual they can be."
Geithner made a case for implementing the president's 2011 deficit reduction plan, which would reduce federal health spending by giving an independent Medicare financing board tougher spending goals, reducing drug reimbursements, and asking wealthy seniors to pay more for their care.
"At the same time, adjustments to Social Security and Medicare must be balanced and even handed. We will not support proposals that sow the seeds of their destruction in the name of reform, or that shift the cost of health care to seniors in order to sustain tax cuts for the most fortunate Americans," Geithner said.

Registrations of Persons - Investment Advisers: Ongoing Requirements
Investment advisers must create and maintain all records (including books, marketing and correspondence) for a minimum of five years.
Record-Keeping: The following is a quote from a NASAA Model Rule adopted in 2003:
Every investment adviser subject to subsection (a) of this rule shall preserve the following records in the manner prescribed:
1. All books and records required to be made under the provisions of paragraph (a) to (c)(1), inclusive, of this Rule (except for books and records required to be made under the provisions of paragraphs (a)(11) and (a)(16) of this Rule), shall be maintained and preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on record, the first two years in the principal office of the investment adviser.
Exam Tips and Tricks!
Memorize the fact that the number of years required for recordkeeping is a MINIMUM of FIVE YEARS. It is highly likely you will be tested on this concept on your upcoming exam.
Investment Advisers: Books and Records
The books, records and financial reporting requirements of broker-dealers are governed by the SEC and the self-regulatory organizations (SRO), such as the exchanges and FINRA.
Federal law: the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 prohibits states from imposing requirements on broker-dealers that are more extensive or burdensome. The Section of the '34 Act that spells this out is Section 15(h), which, in part, says:
"No law, rule, regulation, or order, or other administrative action of any state or political subdivisionthereof shall establish capital, custody, margin, financial responsibility, making and keeping records, bonding, or financial or operational reporting requirements for brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, government securities brokers, or government securities dealers that differ from, or are in addition to, the requirements in those areas established under this title."
The Official Comments that accompany the 2002 USA echo the Federal Law:
"... Under the National Securities Markets Improvement Act of 1996, States may not impose such requirements on covered broker-dealers and investment advisers greater than those specified in Section 15(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Section 222 of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.
If, on the Series 63 exam, you see a reference to Section 15(h) just remember that the states cannot impose requirements on broker-dealers that are more difficult or extensive than those already mandated by the SEC.
The records of a broker-dealer's business must be maintained, by SEC Rule, for three years. The records that a broker-dealer maintains for its customer accounts must generally be maintained for six years.
Those investment advisers that are covered by the USA (not federal covered) are required to maintain records for five years by the Model Rules of NASAA that we mentioned earlier. The general requirement is:
"...All books and records required to be made under the provisions o f... this rule ... shall be maintained and preserved in an easily accessible place for a period of not less than five years from the end of the fiscal year during which the last entry was made on record, the first two years in the principal office of the investment adviser."
The SEC's specific requirements for a broker-dealer's minimum net capital depend on the nature of the firm's business and are beyond the scope of the Series 63. Just be aware that the financial stability requirements for broker-dealers are governed by SEC rules and that under federal law the states cannot impose more stringent requirements. Here again, Section 15(h) applies.
Exam Tips and Tricks
You will probably NOT see a question regarding financial reporting on the test as applied to investment advisers and broker-dealers because such requirements can easily differ from state to state. However if you do, it is wise to remember that a state cannot require an investment adviser or broker-dealer to report MORE FREQUENTLY than quarterly, though in most cases annual reporting is the norm!
Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA)
In July 2002, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOA) introduced major changes to the regulation of corporate governance and financial practice. The act is named after its main architects, Senator Paul Sarbanes and Representative Michael Oxley.
The act really only affects corporate financial reporting, but will (in time) trickle through to the USA, and no doubt trigger some changes as well.
Though the SOA really only affected the USA in one way, you will still find a link to the act in the resources section of the study guide, should you want to read about it.
- How did the SOA affect the USA? The federal statute of limitations for criminal charges was changed from two years to five years.

Despite its reputation for violence,
Arizona saw
only one
lynching during its history and that was
conducted by miners from nearby Bisbee,
Arizona. When six men held up the Goldwater and Castenada Store in Bisbee in
December, 1883, three men and a pregnant woman were shot and killed. While five of the robbers were sentenced to be
hanged, one by the name of
John Heath was
found guilty of second-degree murder and given life imprisonment.
This so enraged the people of Bisbee that a group went to
on February 22, 1884, removed Heath from the custody of the sheriff and
lynched him from a telegraph pole at the
corner of First and Toughnut Streets. The other five men were legally
hanged at
March 6, 1884."
Back in the south, Ida Wells, an editor for a small
newspaper in Memphis, Tennessee called the Free Speech, carried out
an investigation into the many
lynchings in 1884. In just a short
period, she discovered that 728 black men and women had been
hanged by white mobs. Of these deaths,
two-thirds were for small offences such as public drunkenness and
There were occasions when people were
lynched for political reasons or greed.
For example, on July 20, 1889,
James Averell
and Kate
Watson, a/k/a "Cattle
Kate," were
lynched on the orders of Albert J.
Bothwell, a powerful cattleman in
Unfortunately for
and Watson,
they had become involved in a dispute with Bothwell during the
range wars. Bothwell responded by organizing a
vigilante mob, perpetuating a story of how the pair had been involved
in cattle rustling, and they were
couple of days later on July 23, 1989, in Fayette,
nineteen year old Frank Embree was accused of raping a fourteen-year-old
white girl. Embree maintained his innocence but confessed after
having been whipped over 100 times, crying "he would 'own-up' if they
would 'hang me or shoot me, instead of torturing me."' Frank Embree died
at the end of a rope, without a trial.
In August 3, 1906, the mob numbered into
the thousands when five black men -- Nease and John Gillespie, Jack
Dillingham, Henry Lee and George Irwin, were lynched in Salisbury, North
Carolina. Accused of murdering members of a local family by the name
of Lyerly, the victims were tortured with knives before being hanged and
then riddled with bullets. The authorities in North Carolina, alarmed at
what was one of the largest multiple
lynchings of the 20th century, took
unusual steps to punish the leaders of the mob. After the Governor
ordered the National Guard to restore order, local officials arrested more
than two-dozen suspected leaders. One of the killers, George Hall, was
convicted and sentenced to 15 years at hard labor in the state
penitentiary. The New York Times predicted that, by taking these
measures, North Carolina's Governor Glenn was not improving his political
On January 9, 1907 an atypical lynching victim
was taken from the Floyd County Jail in Charles City, Iowa. James
Cullen, a wealthy, white, sixty-two year old contractor had murdered his
wife and fifteen year old stepson, Roy Eastman the day before. The
mob was orchestrated by young men, perhaps acquainted with the ill-fated
Eastman. When the group of several hundred men, rammed down the
doors of the jail with a rail iron, the sheriff and several deputies
offered only feeble resistance. Seizing Cullen, they hanged him from
the local Main Street Bridge. By 11:30 p.m. a crowd of at least 500
residents, including women and children, had gathered to view the swaying
body of James Cullen
from the bridge.
vigilante mob killed a notorious killer named
Jim Miller, also known
as Killin' Jim. Miller, who was sometimes known as "Deacon Jim" for
his Sunday preachings, killed more than 30 men in
as one of the first known "killers for hire." When the law finally
caught up with him, he was sentenced to death, but Miller only laughed. The finest criminal lawyers in the
were on his payroll, and he soon bragged that he would be released after
his attorney filed their appeals. However, a crowd of
vigilantes did not wait for these
legal procedures to take place. They knew that
Miller, who had often
bragged of his many killings, might cheat justice through his highly
paid lawyers.
On the night of April 19, 1909, a lynch mob broke into the jail in Ada,
and dragged
Miller and three others out to a livery stable. Though
the other men begged for their lives, Jim "The Killer"
Miller showed no
signs of fear. He only asked that his diamond ring be given to his
wife and that he be permitted to wear his black Stetson while he was being
hanged. The
vigilantes granted these wishes. Then
Miller, standing on a box, displayed his last act of bravado,
shouting "let 'er rip!" He then voluntarily stepped off the box to
be jerked by the rope around his neck which was tied to a rafter in the
stable. He dangled as the other three were strung up. The
bodies were left
hanging for
some hours in order to allow a local photographer to take enough photos of
lynchings. These photos sold for
many years in Ada,
to tourists. The only surviving photo shows Miller
with the others, his black hat on his tilted head.
By the 1890s
had become particularly sadistic when blacks were the prime targets. Increasingly burning, torture, and dismemberment were used to prolong the
suffering. Sadly, these tactics were also utilized to create a more
"festive atmosphere" among the onlookers. Public spectacles became
more common as newspapers carried advance notices and railroad agents sold
excursion tickets announcing
lynching sites. As families brought
their children to these "recreational" events, executioners cut off black
victims' fingers, toes, ears, and genitalia as souvenirs. Often
these racially motivated
lynchings were not spontaneous mob
reactions, but instead, were carried out with the assistance of
Though many at the time were under the false impression
that these multiple
lynchings were taking place for
violations against women and were rightly justified, this was rarely the
case. More often their alleged crimes included such offenses as
using offensive language; having a bad reputation; refusal to give up a
farm; throwing stones; unpopularity; slapping a child; and stealing hogs,
to name a few. In East
a black man and his three sons were
lynched for the grand crime of
"harvesting the first cotton of the season." Only 19% of those
lynched were ever charged with rape.
Fewer were ever proven.

Lynchings, Hangings & Vigilante Groups - By
Kathy Weiser,
Owner/Editor of Legends of America
Execution by hanging was the most
popular legal and extralegal form of putting criminals to death in the
United States from its beginning. Brought over to the states from our
English ancestors, hanging soon became the method of choice for most
countries, as it produced a highly visible deterrent by a simple method.
It also made a good public spectacle, considered important during those
times, as viewers looked above them to the gallows or tree to watch the
punishment. Legal hangings, practiced by the early American colonists,
were readily accepted by the public as a proper form of punishment for
serious crimes like theft, rape, and murder. It was also readily practiced
for activities that are not considered crimes at all today, such as
witchcraft, sodomy and concealing a birth.

2009 a good year for bald eagles, etc., in New Jersey
Posted By Todd B. Bates On December 16, 2009 @ 3:28 pm In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
Bald eagles, ospreys and peregrine falcons are on the rise [1]in New Jersey.
A record 84 pairs of bald eagles this year resulted in 69 nests with eggs, according to the state Department of Environmental Protection.
The nests produced 99 fledglings, or birds that can fly, according to a report [2]by DEP and Conserve Wildlife Foundation of New Jersey experts.
Bald eagles [3]remain on the state's endangered species list, however.
They face many threats, including human disturbance and habitat loss, according to the report. Contaminants in the food web may affect eagles nesting in some areas.
Meanwhile, 485 nesting pairs of ospreys were observed this year, up 21 percent since the last survey in 2006, according to another report [4].
New Jersey had about 500 nesting pairs of ospreys [5] before DDT, habitat loss and "persecution" decimated the state's population, the report says. Ospreys are considered a threatened species in the state.
Known pairs of nesting peregrine falcons also increased to 24 this year, according to yet another report [6]. Peregrines [7]remain endangered in the state.

Sometimes, it's not all about the money.
A randomized field experiment recently conducted in Chile, and published this month by the US National Bureau of Economic Research, reinforces the idea that social incentives can be more powerful than monetary ones.
The experiment examined the bank savings activity of 2,687 micro-entrepreneurs, who were randomly enrolled in one of three different account types when they joined a Chilean community bank:
1) Basic Account: offered a simple 0.3% interest rate on savings
2) "Peer Group" Basic Account: offered the same 0.3% interest rate, but also encouraged customers to publicly announce a savings commitment — which was then monitored in weekly meetings with other account holders
3) High Interest Rate Account: offered a 5% interest rate on savings
Which group of account holders saved the most money in the bank? By a long shot, it was the participants in the "peer group" account network: they made deposits 3.5 times as often as the "basic" account holders, and their average savings balance was almost twice as high.
But even more impressive, the "peer group" folks (who were earning a measly 0.3% interest rate) also saved substantially more than the customers receiving a 5% interest rate. According to the authors of the analysis, "most of the [5% account holders] did not respond to the interest rate at all." The reason for the low savings in the 5%-rate group, they postulate, was likely due irrational consumer behavior and a poor understanding of interest rates.
These results certainly don't prove that monetary incentives are useless. But the experimental findings do suggest that social and behavioral factors — such as peer pressure, commitment mechanisms, and consistent feedback — are powerful determinants of human decision-making. And that's true across contexts and countries — whether it be Opower's efforts to empower households to save energy, a German dentist's recent initiative to increase patient check-ups, or the Chilean finance sector's experimental approaches to boost consumer savings.

Yankees swap Chad Qualls to Pirates for Casey McGehee
Jul 31, 2012, 4:16 PM EDT
Four weeks ago the Yankees sent cash to the Phillies for Chad Qualls, but after eight unimpressive appearances he's on the move again. New York has sent Qualls to Pittsburgh for Casey McGehee, who became superfluous as a right-handed-hitting third baseman/first baseman once the Pirates acquired Gaby Sanchez from the Marlins today.
Neither player has been much good this season. Qualls has a 4.89 ERA and 21/12 K/BB ratio in 39 innings overall, including allowing five runs in 7.1 innings since the Yankees got him from the Phillies. McGehee has hit just .230 with a .674 OPS and was even worse last year, hitting .223 with a .626 OPS.
This is about as low-wattage as a deadline deal involving two veteran players can possibly get.
- number42is1 - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:20 PM
THIS is going to be the deal that changes the Yanks season… yup… look back in Oct. when they are holding the chip up high and you will all say.. it was that trade for McGehee that got us here..

With the injuries to A-Rod and (maybe) Tex, a mediocre corner infielder is more valuable to the Yankees than a mediocre relief pitcher. Clearly not a game changer, but with the lack of internal options and the relative worthlessness of Qualls, I like it.

I think taking Chad Qualls out of the bullpen makes them instantly better.
- danaking - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:32 PM
The was the other show I'd seen waiting for to drop since the Sanchez for Hernandez trade. I don;t see how the Pirates are any better now than they were three days ago, or how Hurdle will have the line-up shake out, but if these are the activities that kept Huntington from trading Marte for Choo, i'll take it.
However, all fully on board with Stiller43: this guy from the jays better be good. Lincoln was a very valuable component of the pitching staff. I would far rather have seen Correia go than Lincoln, but I supposed Toronto wanted Lincoln far more than they wanted Correia..
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Pirates offense has stunk, and they got a high-upside, cost-controlled, long-term asset in Snider. It may not work out, but that is a gamble worth taking. Unless Toronto is will to do backsies on the whole Bautista trade. That would also be good.
- Utley's Hair - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:35 PM
Qualls? QUALLS?!? How does this move get the Bucs any closer to breaking that losing season streak?
- napoleonblownapart6887 - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:41 PM
It doesn't get us any closer but it doesn't get us any further away. Qualls will be an option after Hanarahan, Grilli (thanks for that), Cruz, Watson, and Resop.
Casey McGhee was expendable now that they acquired Gaby Sanchez. Gave up nothing and got nothing.
- sabathiawouldbegoodattheeighthtoo - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:47 PM
I guess McGehee can stand at 3B with a glove on his hand when the Yankees face a lefty. Or keep first base warm for a week while Teix heals up. Either way Qualls was a goner so I guess this is a risk worth taking.
I actually applaud the Pirates for not getting sucked into their first taste of winning in a couple decades by throwing out top prospects for rent-a-vets. They are making marginal upgrades without sacrificing future success.
- The Rabbit - Jul 31, 2012 at 4:50 PM
and here I thought the Pirates were serious about making a run for the postseason. Chad Qualls. Really?
The main stat missing is "The Qualls Index", i.e., the percentage of inherited runners he induced (watching him had some similarities to labor) to score thereby inflating the prior pitcher's ERA. If some percentage of those runs were applied to his ERA, I'd guess it's really in the 8.50-9.00 range, but I might be understating it.
For the Yankees, it's addition by subtraction.
- randygnyc - Jul 31, 2012 at 5:02 PM
Joba activated just now.
- dkphilly1122 - Jul 31, 2012 at 6:09 PM
Qualls sucks. I told Yankee fans when they got him from the Phillies that he'd hurt them more than help them. Now the Pirates will see how bad he sucks. He won't help your team at all, if anything hurt it. Stop trying to rashing this Pirates fans, he sucks. Ask Phillies and Yankees fans……..he needs to retire.
- ironcity6pak - Jul 31, 2012 at 9:15 PM
Perfect time for the pirates to show there fans they want to win and this season will be different….dropped the ball again buco's.

Crews recover van, driver who plunged into SF Bay
Crews have pulled a minivan out of San Francisco Bay a day after it plunged into the water with the driver inside.
KGO-TV reports ( http://bit.ly/1877O8W) the woman's body was in the vehicle when it was recovered Saturday.
Her name has not been released.
The minivan jumped a curb near San Francisco Marina Yacht Harbor Friday before a number of horrified witnesses, sank and got stuck in mud at the bottom of the bay.
Several sailors jumped off their boat to try to rescue the driver and ended up having to be rescued themselves.
Rescuers halted the recovery operation overnight because of strong currents and because they did not have the right equipment.
Police were investigating what led the car to go into the water.

The Graduate College Announces Recipients of 2014–15 Dissertation Completion Fellowships
The Graduate College is pleased to announce that four WMU doctoral students have been named recipients of Dissertation Completion Fellowships for the 2014–15 academic year.
The 2014–15 Dissertation Completion Fellowship recipients are as follows:
Caitlyn P. Dial - Department of History: Ms. Dial will receive a full-year fellowship for her dissertation titled Only the River Remains: History and Memory of the Eastland Disaster in the Great Lakes Region, 1915-present. Her dissertation advisor is Dr. Mitch Kachun. Ms. Dial's dissertation examines memorial and commemorative attention to the tragic capsizing of the excursion ship Eastland, which sank in dock in Chicago in 1915, killing hundreds of passengers during the boarding process. Her research addresses important questions about the process of public and private commemorations and the construction of individual and collective memories related to the event.
Patrick W. Harris - Department of History: Mr. Harris will receive a full-year fellowship for his dissertation Communal Coalescence: Christian Coexistence in 12th Century Toledo. Dr. Larry J. Simon is the dissertation advisor. Mr. Harris's dissertation is about the pluri ethno-religious nature of post-conquest Toledo, metropolitan see of Castile and home to one of the larger Jewish communities in Medieval Europe. Toledo, a famed "School" of Translators and a place where Christian conquerors formed an urban atoll on a sea of conquered Muslims, figures prominently in both Castilian nationalist historiography and contemporary scholars of convivencia.
Abdel Mawgoud M. M. Mohammed - Department of Geosciences: Mr. Mohammed will receive a full-year fellowship to complete his dissertation Hydrochemical Characteristics and Potential Tectonic Influences on Groundwater Quality of the Continental-Scale Nubian Sandstone Aquifer System (NSAS). His dissertation advisor is Dr. Alan E. Kehew. Mr. Mohammed's research concerns the origin and the management of the groundwater in the Nubian Sandstone aquifer, one the largest aquifers in the world, and one that is vital to the population of much of North Africa, including Egypt. His research is in accord with the University's mission of "globally engaged" research that has international implications.
Emily A. Zerndt - Department of Political Science: Ms. Zerndt will receive a full-year fellowship for her dissertation Democracy Promotion and the Commercialization of Freedom House. Her dissertation advisor is Dr. Emily Hauptmann. Ms. Zerndt's dissertation is the first in-depth scholarly study of the influential New York-based think tank, Freedom House. Specifically, she examines the history of the development of Freedom House's well-known system for assigning numeric democracy and freedom scores to countries all over the world. There has been virtually no scholarly attention either to how Freedom House arrives at them or to its evolving rationale for defining "democracy" or "freedom" in the particular ways it does.

The REAL Black Friday starts tonight
James W. Wade III | 8/15/2014, 9:06 a.m.
Who needs to wait until November for the best shopping money can buy? Not us! Join the Call & Post and other Black businesses from around Ohio as they launch The Real Black today Friday on Aug. 15.
The brainchild of LaRese B. Purnell, The Real Black Friday will emphasize the sometimes overlooked Black-owned business market. Purnell has compiled a list of Black-owned businesses surrounding the greater Cleveland area and has partnered with so Kinky so Curly so Straight, the Urban Design Suite and NuLife Fitness Camp to kick off this inaugural event.
The Real Black Friday leads into a weekend's worth of support in which Cleveland and Northeast Ohio will spotlight Black-owned businesses.
The Real Black Friday is aiming to band these business owners together during this weekend to showcase their talents and treasures, while encouraging consumerism within these businesses. This consumerism will of course bring tax dollars to the communities these businesses serve. Another goal of The Real Black Friday is to reenergize the power of the Black dollar and call attention to the power of economics.
With this list and through the use of social media as well as the website, www.therealblackfriday.com, Purnell has reached out to local Black-owned business owners and asked that they register for this absolutely free event.
During this celebration, a project The Urban Design Suite proprietor Alvin Smith has been working on called "Black in Cleveland" will be launched showing off many Clevelanders including our own Associate Publisher Connie Harper and other notable figures.
The driving force behind the book "Black in Cleveland" was derived from three major passions in Smith's life. First, he has a passion for being African American and seeing his people become successful. The next passion he has is for photography, specifically portraits.
Being able to take an individual, talk to them for about 5 minutes and then capture their personality in an amazing portrait creates a certain zeal for Smith. The third passion he has is for the city of Cleveland; the city that raised him and taught him everything that he knows. It's the city that energizes him and the city where God meets him daily.
He loves this city. He loves his people and he loves photography. "Black in Cleveland" was the perfect idea to inhabit all of his passions into one stellar project. So what is "Black in Cleveland" you may ask? "Black in Cleveland" is a collection of portraits of some of Cleveland's most dynamic African Americans.
Purnell has spearheaded this initiative in order to empower all consumers, but especially Black consumers to reach into their pockets and spend their money in businesses that serve the underserved.
"I am trying to get as many Black business owners as possible to come be a part of this great event," Purnell said. His purpose is to unite the Black community and give them a reason to do business with each other.
The purpose of The Real Black Friday is fourfold. First, to bring attention to the sometimes overlooked black-owned business market. Registered business owners will have an opportunity to showcase their talent, products, and services the entire weekend while consumers are encouraged to support as many black-owned establishments as possible. Second, The Real Black Friday aims to bring tax dollars to the communities the businesses serve.

ALBANY - School administrators have joined the fray over Global Warming and climate change.
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, they think New York students should be taught about the impact of our changing environment.
In Mr. Larry 'Bizzarro's' Earth Science class at Albany High, explaining global warming to 9th graders can be somewhat comical, as he calls the 'Greenhouse Effect' as the 'Hot Pocket Effect,' but outside the classroom, on cable news outlets, the tone turns much more serious as those who 'don't' believe Global Warming is 'real' counter those who do.
Those who acknowledge global warming, point to Sandy-the hurricane whose strength, size and whose track inland made it 'anything' but typical.
Even the President was asked last week, if there was a connection .
"We can't attribute any particular weather event to climate change but we do know is that he temperature around the globe is increasing," said President Obama.
There's even a fight over what to call it---are the terms global warming and climate change interchangable, again it depends who you talk to.
Climate change is defined as a 'long-term' shift in climate, measured by changes in
temperature, wind and precipitation.
This is how Mr. Bazzaro explains global warming to his students.

Dunstan project could add 40 apartments in Scarborough
SCARBOROUGH — If all goes according to plan, a local developer could build about 40 one-bedroom apartments in the Dunstan neighborhood.
The development would boost so-called "workforce housing," which many residents and officials say the town desperately needs.
"This kind of housing is a definite need for Scarborough, for our working families," Planning Board member Jeffrey Thomas said Tuesday during a review of the proposed development by Burnham Village LLC.
The company already owns and operates 15 apartment units in two buildings at the end of North Street, a dead-end off Dunstan Avenue. The new, rough plan involves construction of five similar buildings, with eight apartments each, behind the existing two on undeveloped land toward Broadturn Road.
Shawn Frank, senior project manager with Sebago Technics, said the site already has ready water and sewer access, but that building placement would have to work around some wetlands.
The only point of contention was which road would provide access to the new buildings.
Some neighbors said the development would create an intolerable excess of traffic on narrow North Street toward busy Dunstan Avenue.
"I remember when Dunstan Avenue stopped at North Street," said Neal Paulson, of 4 Dunstan Ave. "Today it is a major problem. If you allow this project to go through, I hope you'll widen North Street and Dunstan Avenue and plan to put in some sort of traffic signal."
Frank said Harold Burnham, who owns the development company, has had very preliminary conversations with the owners of the Rock 'n' Roll Diner on Route 1 about striking a deal to allow tenants and other apartment traffic to enter and leave the development through the restaurant's parking lot and driveway.
Members of the Planning Board, who didn't vote on the development Tuesday, said they'd like to see that agreement reached.
"I'd strongly prefer that to having another intersection on Broadturn Road," Cory Fellows said.
Workforce housing is a long-term goal in Scarborough, where land prices are high and building costs are out of reach for many people who work in town. Apartments are one way to fill the gap.
According to town data, the median home price in Scarborough is about $290,000. That's $75,000 more than the average first-home buyer in town can afford, according to the Scarborough Housing Alliance.
The site of the proposed development is zoned as a "Town and Village Center," by Scarborough's ordinance. The TVC Zone is meant for mixed-use development, and requires several stages of review.
Burnham Village LLC will have to return to the Planning Board at least twice, first for a master plan review, and again for a site plan review.
Frank said he hoped to have a master plan ready for the Planning Board soon.
In other business, the board received a sketch plan from The Ram Cos., which proposes to build a 16,000 square-foot office building at 200 Route 1. The building would be built behind the firm's existing property, The Centervale building.
Citing traffic concerns, Planning Board members urged Ram to work with a neighboring property owner to secure access to Route 1 at the intersection with Hannaford Drive.
Planning Department staff also stated their desire to strike a deal with Ram to allow the town to build a sidewalk on Route 1 in front of the company's property.

DALLAS, Texas (AP) -- A Cowboys offensive lineman has pleaded guilty to a first-time drunken driving charge.
Ronald Leary was arrested in suburban Dallas in September 2012 after failing a field sobriety test. According to the arrest warrant affidavit, he was pulled over for multiple traffic violations and on suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Online court records show the Cowboys' starting left guard pleaded guilty Thursday. He will receive 18 months of probation and a $1,000 fine.
A message seeking comment was left with his attorney Monday.
Leary was a Memphis University guard before the Cowboys signed him as a free agent in 2012. He has had a chronic knee problem.
