Bank of New York Mellon Goes to Trial Over Sentinel
Bank of New York Mellon Corp. is defending itself at trial against allegations it knew cash management firm Sentinel Management Group Inc. was using investors' assets as collateral for a $312 million credit line.
A lawyer for Sentinel liquidation trustee Frederick Grede told the court today the bank extended the firm credit knowing it lacked enough capital to cover the debt, helping its principals finance a heavily leveraged trading portfolio. Grede, claiming the bank enabled Sentinel to deceive its clients, seeks the recovery of about $600 million for its creditors.
"When Sentinel did crash," trustee lawyer Chris Gair told U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel in Chicago in his opening statement, "it was Sentinel's customers who took the hit."
Sentinel, based in Northbrook, Illinois, filed for bankruptcy in 2007, four days after it froze client accounts citing credit market instability. Customer claims have totaled about $1.2 billion. U.S. Bankruptcy Judge John H. Squires in December 2008 approved a liquidation plan under which investors could be repaid 35 cents on the dollar.
Recovery on Lien
BNY Mellon is seeking enforce its collateralized claim for the $312 million in outstanding credit extended to the firm when it failed, plus accrued interest and attorney fees. Grede wants the Zagel to subordinate that lien to the claims of other Sentinel creditors.
"The bankers at the Bank of New York didn't believe that Sentinel or its insiders were engaged in any misconduct," the lender's lawyer, Matthew Ingber, told Zagel during his more than two hours of opening remarks.
"They never suspected fraud," Ingber said.
In papers filed before the trial, Gair said BNY Mellon promised and was required to "segregate customer assets, treat them as belonging solely to Sentinel's customers, and not assert a lien over those assets."
"BoNY did precisely the opposite," he said.
By 2006, Sentinel was typically ending the day owing the bank more than $300 million, exceeding the indebtedness to BNY Mellon of securities firms including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Bear Stearns Cos. -- now part of JPMorgan Chase & Co. -- and now-bankrupt Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., and backing that obligation with client assets, Gair said.
The bank had had an "unblemished" 10-year relationship with Sentinel before it collapsed, Ingber countered. Its maintenance of the credit relationship was based on its experience with the firm and trust in its principals, he said.
'Customer Assets'
The New York-based lender said in a court filing last month there is no evidence that the bank knew Sentinel was in violation of the federal commodity exchange act or that insiders were "misappropriating customer assets for their own benefit."
"There was no misconduct -- much less the required egregious misconduct -- by the bank justifying the extraordinary remedy" of subordination, the bank said.
Sentinel founder Philip Bloom and his son, Chief Executive Officer Eric Bloom, and trusts they controlled agreed to pay $10.7 million to settle claims Grede filed against them, in 2008.
Grede, the trustee, was his own first witness, testifying today about his 25-year career at the Chicago Board of Trade, where he rose from an auditor to executive vice president of the exchange and then led the Hong Kong Futures Exchange as its chief executive officer.
Grede served initially as chapter 11 bankruptcy trustee for Sentinel, he told the court, and then as liquidation trustee after Squires approved the plan to dissolve the firm's assets to repay creditors.
Zagel last year denied BNY Mellon's request that he dismiss the lawsuit, calling the failure to segregate the customer funds "a very serious violation when committed on the scale alleged here."
The case is Grede v. The Bank of New York, 08cv2582, in the Northern District of Illinois (Chicago).

It's possible to restrict the speed using the rate limit on a specific location.
However, how can we do it dynamically ?
Let say you have paid vs non-paid users and you want to give an higher bandwidth to paid users.
We would need to dynamically check in the Database and allow a certain speed for this particular group of users.
Do you have any nginx module in mind ?

The Office IT Pro Blog has posted a good workaround for a couple of problems that sometimes occur when using the Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM) to scan Access databases for migration to Office 2010. The trick is to make a couple of changes to the OMPM configuration file (offscan.ini).
Read the full post here.
As you may remember from their previous post, software developer Derrick VanArnam and DBA Russell Fox have developed a way to integrate Silverlight into an Access database by using the Web Browser Control that is included with Access 2010. Since that first post, they have been working on ways to improve the coding experience to make the Silverlight/Access integration faster and easier, and they now have a new version of their free sample database available for download. Check out their post here!
Happy New Year, Access aficionados! We are pleased to announce that this month, the Access Blog is officially joining the Office.com family of blogs. You may notice a few changes in the appearance of the blog, but your old links and bookmarks should continue to work, and you shouldn't notice any interruptions in RSS feeds or other service. Redirects are still being put in place, but you can check out the new blog at the link below. We'll have more information after the migration is completed, and we'll do our best to answer any questions that arise.
Of course, the Access Blog will continue to be your source for the latest information directly from the Access product team, and we'll work to keep bringing you pointers to new Help articles, videos and training, plus Power Tips and other guest posts to help you get the most out of Access. As part of Office.com, blog posts will become searchable in the Office Help system, enabling us to spread the word about Access farther than before.
Click here for more information about the Microsoft Office Blog. Thanks for reading, and we look forward to seeing you on the Access Blog on Office.com!
The extreme makeover of UtterAccess is underway! Access MVP and owner of UtterAccess, Gord Hubbell, has released a significant upgrade that improves the social tools available to the Access community.
UtterAccess is known for its friendly community that strives to give people great answers to questions. The site offers a forum for many Access experts that openly help people do amazing things. The community of quality people have even better help tools. I'm personally excited about the long-term impact the site will continue to have in helping people create great databases, excel in their career, and build lasting friendships.
There are two parts to this upgrade—a new wiki and upgraded discussion forums.
For years, Access experts have created their own sites full of useful knowledge about how to maximize the benefit of Access. These sites are a significant piece of the overall value proposition of the Access product. If you build your app on Access, there are online resources and a community of experts to help get you realize your ideas. A few favorite sites include Allen Browne's Tips, www.accessjunkie.com, and http://www.mvps.org/access. Now there is a new site for free how-to content about Access.
I expect the Access Wiki to grow as one of the best free source of Access learning materials.
What's a wiki? A good read can be had here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki. UtterAccess uses MediaWiki, the same framework as Wikipedia.
For me, a wiki is a living topic that (unlike static personal web sites) is always undergoing continuous improvement. Mistakes are quickly corrected and unclear sentences or topics reworked. If you have a more clear way of making a point—by all means change it. If a useful link provides better resources—add it. Making changes to the topics is incredibly easy. You just need to sign-in start editing. Here is a get started overview and a syntax quick reference once you have moved beyond basics.
Updates to the Wiki have already started to flow in. Here are a few topics that have already been created: Error handling, Relationships, Login security, Record key, and Display related data. Take a few minutes and give it a read and update topics that leaves out an important point or correct grammar mistakes. As one of the Five pillars from Wikipedia says:
"Be bold in updating articles and do not worry about making mistakes. Your efforts do not need to be perfect; because prior versions are saved, no damage you do is irreparable."
"Be bold in updating articles and do not worry about making mistakes. Your efforts do not need to be perfect; because prior versions are saved, no damage you do is irreparable."
Contribute your insights to the Access Wiki today!
For years, Gord has tuned and customized the forum software the drives UtterAccess. It has served the community well. When we talked about integrating MediaWiki, it was clear the biggest challenge was to integrate the two frameworks authentication systems and user experience. To bolt together the forum and MediaWiki was a significant rewrite. Gord discovered IP.Board and IPBWiki (by Peter De Decker in Belgium) provides a seamless user experience and shared authentication system between the forum and wiki. He describes the forum upgrade as going from Cessna to a Boeing 747.
It was an uneventful take off last night but expect a few turbulences as crew and users get use to the new cabin. I expect members will quickly get use to the new user experience and enjoy discovering all the new features. Here are some of the personal profile improvements users will find:
I can't say enough how much we appreciate the work Gord and the UtterAccess forum administrators contribute to the community. The new wiki truly is (and will be) a collaborative contribution from many people.
It is amazes me how many people give so freely of their time and resources. UtterAccess isn't the only place people turn for answers. There are other communities such as Access World Forums, Newsgroups, LinkedIn, Tek-Tips, stackoverflow, and Experts Exchange. The service provided by these communities is also appreciated by the millions. Thanks for all you do!
Lois Wang, a program manager on the team responsible for reports, has started the Access China blog. Lois will blog about Access and open a broader dialog with Access developers in China. If you read Chinese—check it out.

Today's guest blogger is Luke Chung, President and Founder of FMS, Inc. Luke has written and presented a wide range of topics related to Access over the years. In addition to their many Access related products, FMS offers a wealth of great Access papers, tips, and video on their site.
In Microsoft Access tables, the AutoNumber field type allows you to assign a unique sequential number to each row in a table. AutoNumber fields are often used as the Primary Key, since they are unique and permanent (i.e. the value cannot be changed once it is assigned).
For new tables, AutoNumbering begins with 1, and is incremented by 1 with each new row. However, we occasionally want to start the AutoNumber at a number higher than 1.
To do this, create an Append query to insert the value of the ID one less than your desired starting number (or Seed value). For instance, assume that you want to start with the Seed value 1000.
First, run this query:
INSERT INTO tblName ( ID )
SELECT 999 AS Expr1
INSERT INTO tblName ( ID )
SELECT 999 AS Expr1
Where tblName is the table name, and ID is the name of the AutoNumber field.
Then, run a second query to delete the row that you inserted:
FROM tblName
FROM tblName
(Alternatively, you can simply open the table and manually delete the row that you inserted.)
Now, the next record added to the table is assigned the value 1000:
This method works with a new table, or with a table whose AutoNumber has not yet reached the Seed value. (Of course, the ID field for existing rows will not be changed, but subsequent rows will start with 1000.)
Over the next year or so, FMS Inc. will be releasing Access 2010 versions of their Access products. For many of them, FMS will be offering free beta versions to the general public.
Total Access Admin is a cool program that lets you point to a database on your network and see people going in and out of it in real time. You can see the connections start and end. You can also prevent new people from coming in, and perform database tasks like compact & repair when everyone has exited.
The new version supports Access 2010's 32 and 64 bit versions. FMS welcomes feedback from the community: http://www.fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/monitor/preview2010.asp
FMS has offered the Total Zip Code Database for many years. It is a subscription license from the US Postal Service that lists every zip code in the US and their corresponding city and state. It's great for use as a lookup to validate zip codes and automatically fill in the city and state fields. Some zip codes have multiple acceptable city names, and it's easy in Access to create a drop down list to offer the user all the valid city names. FMS offers the database on an annual basis with monthly updates, which also includes lists of countries, states, and most recently, latitude and longitude coordinates for each zip code. A sample database shows how it works. More info here: http://www.fmsinc.com/MicrosoftAccess/ZipCodeDatabase.html
NOTE: FMS usually provides a 10-20% discount to beta testers. If you find a bug or make a good suggestion that is used in the product, FMS will even give you a free copy! The product is fully functional during the beta period, which will last through June 1, 2010.

Today's guest blogger is Pavlo Pedan of ARGO Business Corp. He has 15 years of experience with Access and has a great site of tips at http://sites.google.com/site/msaccesscode/.
When you open a form or report in Design View, the Property Sheet is either displayed or hidden based on its state the last time you left Design view. However, you might want to ensure that the Property Sheet is always displayed (or hidden) when you switch to Design view. You might think to use the following command:
DoCmd.RunCommand acCmdProperties
Unfortunately, this command only works after the form or report is already open in Design View. To ensure that the Property Sheet is always displayed or hidden when you switch to Design view, use the function below. The function can be executed while starting an application (for example in the AutoExec macro), attached to the Close event of the form or report, or whenever necessary.
For example, you might use the function to suppress the blinking of the Property Sheet when creating a form at a run-time using the Application.CreateForm method and opening it in a Form view.
Here's the code, which has been tested in Access 2007.

Today's guest blogger is Vinny Malanga. Vinny is the CTO of IMI Software, Inc. , which specializes in software development for the real estate and property management industries.
Many Access developers implement subforms to display data. Most often, at design time, the developer sets the subform to a specific size. In many cases this is fine, but there are some instances where it would be preferable to dynamically resize the subform at runtime, based on the number of records that it contains, up to a maximum number. Once the maximum number of records is reached, a vertical scroll bar should appear allowing the user to scroll through the rest of the records. The maximum number is arbitrary and simply used to prevent the subform from exceeding a certain height.
I've provided a sample database that you can download here. The database contains a table, two forms - a parent form and a subform - and a module with the resize method.
In short, when the parent form loads, it calls a function on the subform which handles the resizing. It first retrieves the height of the header, footer and detail section of the subform. From there the subform is resized based on the height of the header, the height of the footer, and the height of the detail times the number of records. There are a couple of twips added to the total number to even out the border around the subform. Next, the record count of the underlying data source is retrieved. If the record count is greater than the maximum number of records you've defined, the ScrollBars property of the subform is set to 2 (Vertical Only), otherwise 0 or None. Lastly, in case there are any controls that exist under the subform, another function is called which repositions those controls based on the calculated height of the subform.
I hope some of you find this technique useful.

There are certain features that virtually every Access database application includes. Certain tables like people's names and addresses, certain forms for managing lookup lists and many to many relationships, custom splash screens, and on and on. Particular developers may prefer 'off-standard' property settings for forms and reports and for the database itself. Depending on the general type of databases a developer focuses on, the developer might set the same references in every project.
Manually importing these common features can take a fair amount of time. Access 2007 introduced the ability to reduces that startup overhead literally to no time at all. All you need to do is put together a default Blank database template and store it in the right location. Then for your next new project create a new Blank database. The new database will inherit absolutely everything that the template includes. It will have exactly the custom property settings that you need.
Including custom property settings in prototype forms and reports in the template will continue to yield time saving dividends, beyond what you have already saved in the creation of the database itself, because each form and report you create from those prototype objects will be populated with exactly the settings you want. Allen Browne, from whom I first learned of this capability, has some excellent tips on template contents and how to set up the template this article http://allenbrowne.com/ser-43.html
Give the idea a try. You will be glad you did!

In our never-ending quest to spread the word about Microsoft Access, we now have an official fan page on Facebook! Our news feed includes links to articles on MSDN, TechNet, and Office Online, as well as posts on this blog. You can choose to see our posts in your Facebook news feed automatically, or read them only when you want to. Similarly, if you post something on the fan page, you can choose to be notified whenever someone responds to you.
Here's a quick walkthrough of how the Microsoft Access fan page on Facebook works:
Join the Access fan page
If you already have a Facebook account, sign in, and then follow these simple steps:
Browse through Access wall posts
Once you've joined the Microsoft Access fan page on Facebook, you can begin browsing for posts right away.
To switch the default view to the page wall, click the Wall tab on the top navigation bar near the Access logo:
You can now see all of the wall posts by the administrator and by other Access users just like you. Wall posts are shown in chronological order and the newest posts appear near the top of the page.
Join the conversation! Reply to an existing wall post that interests you, or make your own post to start a new discussion or to share something with the other members.
Hide automatic Access fan page updates
Depending on when you join the Access fan page, you'll probably see automatic updates in your Facebook news feed within a few days. If you like seeing these updates, you don't need to do anything else. Check out the ones that sound interesting and ignore the ones that you don't care about on any particular day.
If you don't want automatic Access fan page updates to appear in your news feed, you can easily disable them by following these steps:
Facebook will briefly display a yellow confirmation box, informing you that Access updates will now be hidden from view.
While Access fan page updates are hidden from view in your Facebook news feed, you can still visit the Microsoft Access fan page at any time by entering Microsoft Access into the Search box near the top of any Facebook page and then clicking the search result. It's a fast way to return to the fan page whenever you want to check for updates on your own.
Restore hidden Access fan page updates
If you previously disabled Access fan page updates from your Facebook news feed and you've changed your mind about seeing automatic updates, you can easily restore them by following these steps:
When you have completed these steps, you will once again see automatic Microsoft Access fan page notifications in your Facebook news feed.

Post to the wall! It's just a conversation with like-minded people who enjoy and rely on Access in similar ways as you.
Tony D'Ambra of aadconsulting.com, maker of Access add-ins and switchboards, wanted to share his method for providing help to users when and where they need it.
In Access, the functionality of tool tips has not changed since they were introduced in Access 95 ten years ago. In a free sample Access 2000 database Cool Tool Tips, which you can download here, I have implemented a more functional and controllable paradigm, which also looks great. If you have an application that is to any degree complex to use, Cool Tool Tips is an easily-implemented solution that avoids the need for a Help file, and keeps tips on the screen for however long they are needed by the user.

Today's guest writer is Shawn Sullivan from the Office Shared team. I have asked him to talk about the work he has done to help organizations move to newer versions of Office.
In March, we made a post about Office Migration Planning Manager (OMPM), which is a suite of tools to help analyze your environment for migration to Office 2007. Its primary function is to scan Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access files in the Office 97-2003 binary file format, and provide analysis of any issues those files might experience being converted to the Office 2007 OOXML format, as well as any possible issues those files might exhibit simply being used in Office 2007.
OMPM provides you with several techniques you can leverage specifically concerning migrating to Access 2007. Here's a short list of how the tool can help you plan for migrating to Access 2007:
As the March post mentioned, OMPM can be used as a file inventory tool to identify all Access files (as well as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint) in your organization. Both the light and deep scan modes can accomplish this task.
OMPM's deep scan mode will actually crack open files from Access 95-2003 and scan them for potential migration issues. The full list of issues as well as pointers to documentation are at the bottom of this post.
OMPM can generate reports from scan data which show you what migration issues are present where in your environment. In combination with OMPM documentation, this allows you to test and plan for migration.
OMPM can be downloaded here so you can try it out and see what it can do to help assess your Access 2007 migration. It requires no installation, although SQL 2000, 2005, or 2005 Express are required. SQL 2005 Express is available for free to help you get started looking at OMPM, and works well for smaller (<100,000 files) scan analysis.
Here's a few shots of OMPM reports (personally identifiable data obscured). First, a report showing all scanned files and any issues found:
And second, a closeup of a report listing all issues found in a scan, and their frequency:
Finally, here's a list of the errors OMPM can generate about Access files.
Too many code or class modules
Sort order and system language do not match
Replicated database
Database is an MDE file
DAO 2.5/3.5 compatibility layer
Microsoft Jet SQL help
Additional References
Missing References
Reserved Name in Form/Report/Macro
Linked Tables
Database in uncompiled state
Backup database
Sample database
Old Database
Secured Database: User Level Security
Secured Database: Database Password
System Database
Unsupported legacy format
Unsupported legacy format - forms, reports, and modules will be lost
Errors 1-17 are the complete list of errors which can be generated by the Access Conversion Toolkit, OMPM's predecessor. Documentation for 1-17 can be found in the Access Conversion Toolkit. The documentation is Flash-based and requires the installation of the toolkit from here.
Errors 18 and 19 are new to OMPM and mean
18 – Access 2007 no longer opens files created in Access 2.0.
19 – Access 2007 will open a file that was created in Access 95, but will not read its forms, reports, or modules.
Here are links to useful sites with more info on OMPM:
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave them in the comments section of this post or on the wiki. And if you have helpful tips of your own about OMPM, please share them on the wiki!
About a month ago, we posted a Power Tip from Edwin Blancovitch about creating shortcut menus by using VBA. However, if for some reason you're not interested in cracking open the Visual Basic Editor, there is a way to create shortcut menus (the menus that appear when you right-click an object) just using macros. See this article on Office Online to see how to get started.

Peter and Joe bring you sunshine (also Amazon surf, country-soul and acid house)
Quite possibly because the sun was shining, even if it wasn't actually warm as such, this show presented by Joe Muggs and Peter Culshaw got its groove on. There was shuffling about the NTS studio, strangers started dancing. The featured albums, by which we mean more than one track were played were the new one from Bachar Mar Khalifé, who is clearly a major talent, the debut from Los Chinches, a Peruvian Amazon surf band, who started and closed the show and an irresistible new compilation of Latin Psychedelia.
The sunny mood kept going through acid house and Forro, Kenyan 45s from the 1970s and only went a bit gloomy for Karl Hyde and Olafur Arnalds and we went on a country detour with My Darling Clementine. A trio of classics from Bobbie Gentry, Malcolm McLaren and Four Tet were played because they seemed to fit at the time.

Mahoning County's chief deputy auditor is recommending the county borrow an extra $3.5 million this fall to pay for additional renovations and improvements at the county-owned Oakhill Renaissance Place.
Carol McFall told the county commissioners in a Thursday staff meeting that only $833,651 remains uncommitted from the $5 million the county initially borrowed in the bond market for renovations at Oakhill, which the county bought in 2006.
"It doesn't take long for $833,000 to disappear," McFall told the commissioners.
McFall also said only $68,106 remains uncommitted of the $2.9 million the county borrowed separately in a federal economic- recovery loan to install a new air-conditioning system in the former hospital. Oakhill is the former Forum Health Southside Medical Center.
The $5 million has paid for renovations to accommodate the county's Department of Job and Family Services, Veterans' Service Commission and recycling division, which already have moved to Oak-hill, and the county board of elections, which will move from the county's South Side Annex to Oakhill later this summer.
Funds for roof repairs and smokestack demolition and payments on a $400,000 Ohio Department of Development loan to Oakhill's bankrupt former owner, the Southside Community Development Corp., also have come from the initial $5 million, McFall said.
Tracie Kaglic, project manager with Olsavsky-Jaminet Architects, estimated an extra $4 million is needed for additional areas of roof replacement, fire-alarm upgrades, morgue- ventilation improvements for the county coroner's office, additional rest-rooms in the south and east wings, and renovations to accommodate the county's auto- title department and adult day-care center and the Mahoning Valley Law Enforcement Task Force.
The auto-title department, adult day-care center and task force still are at the South Side Annex on Market Street, which the county plans to close.
McFall said she hopes the FBI, which participates in the task force, can obtain federal funds to pay for the estimated $990,000 renovation costs for the task force.
Kaglic said her $4 million total does not include money for upgrades the county might make to Oakhill's kitchen and cafeteria for re-establishment of a food-service operation there.
$833,000 will disappear pretty fast in the hands of Mahoning County Government officials.
Yeah let's move to that Oakhill Hospital to get back at the Cafaro's for supporting candidates that ran against us. Who cares how it affects the citizens of Mahoning County! Noone's gonna tell us what to do. Millions upon Millions upon Millions.........
Let's all go take a tour of the McGuffy Mall . Inovative ideas are needed to restore it to its former glory .
THE NEW McGUFFY MALL . . ..
Here we go Stan, we agree that McGuffey was bad. Agreed, understand agreed. Let put an end to it, just acknowledge that Oakhill is a ridiculous drain on the people of Mahoning County as the NUMBERS SHOW. The decision to go there was based on political vendetta no matter how much it costs us. How much moe do we have to spend there for you to see how bad it is?
Noooooowaaaaaay a wash. Waste hill astronomically more expensive. Not even close.
Fact is, oakhill was the only option at the time to get out of the corrupt cafaro owned plaza, has no one noticed the federal indictments against all involved? These came from the FBI, not a local source that could be tampered with. It was an ethics decision to stop feeding them money made by politicians who could not be bribed by them. What's more, why can't Sciortino, the real county auditor do his job so he could be the one giving the facts in this article?
It was not the only option. A brand new one stop facility would not have cost what Oakhill has. Why do we keep bringing up Cafaro and Garland when everyone agrees it was a bad investment? Agree that Sciortino and McNally should have the stones to cite how much this has cost us and that is why they opposed it in the first place, cowards. Dont think for a minute that this wasn't a political vendetta. What if the Judge rules to dismiss those indictments based on prosecutorial misconduct? You don't think that this whole thing was for the good of the taxpayers, its a political pissing match.
$5 + $2.9 + $3.5 = $11.4 million. That's nowhere near enough to build an equivalent facility. And, who would have had to pay for the demolition of the Oakhill building, if the county did build a new facility?
Oak Hill is a deal because McGuffey wasn't being kept up by the landlord and building a brand new facility would have cost much more than has been spent so far.
Someone needs to teach me the crazy math that disputes those facts.
City resident your missing sooo much. Utility bills on heat alone breached $70,000.00 in February. Not to mention the 1/2 million dollars in back taxes. There are forecasted issues of parking deck demolition and reconstruction as well as significant damage to the existing foundation which again are huge costs. Internally there are countless grievances being filed by employees based on unsafe work conditions such as damaged stairs and elevators. Did you know that due to a lack of air conditioning the oppressive summer heat has lead to the creation of cool down rooms where employees can go and catch their breath. Thats really good for productivity, huh? By the way incidental investigation on cost of a new building when this was being initially debated was around10 to12 million bucks. We are past that already, with loads more to come.
Here's a fact: We at least know that the proponents of Oakhill were way off on its cost or simply lied. And it seems like those on this Board just dont care. As long as the "other side" is defeated it matters not what the cost.
Here are some real numbers about the cost of Oakhill and I admit I was off about the cost of the building but Oakhill has still been more and thats if not one more dime is spent.
From Jessie David:
I am confused about "Why the Oakhill purchase?" Because it's not an easy access location, and also the costs to repair the old dilapidated place, really are over the top...
Considering the so/so location and outrageous costs to repair Oakhill Place, why not a new building in an easy access location like down town Youngstown?
So what about this side of the argument?...
Some excerpts from that article...
[According to figures supplied by the county auditor's office, since buying Oakhill in 2006, more than $7 million from the general fund have been spent on utilities, maintenance and other expenses compared to just over $5 million in rent, reimbursements and other income.
Auditor Mike Sciortino claims in addition to "a $2 million operating loss in the general fund," the county "already floated a bond" for $5.3 million.]
And also this other side of the argument" article...
Some excerpts...
[In 2006, Reardon recalled he said a new $15 million county-owned-and-operated office building would have been much cheaper than acquiring, maintaining and renovating Oakhill.
Sciortino said the Oakhill purchase is the county's equivalent of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
"We are in our disaster right now. We are in a complete financial meltdown," he said.]
"Utility bills on heat alone breached $70,000.00 in February."
The improvements that are being/will be made to the HVAC system will pay for themselves quickly, then.
"There are forecasted issues of parking deck demolition and reconstruction as well as significant damage to the existing foundation which again are huge costs."
Who forecasted these issues? Who told you the parking deck will need replaced? What foundation damage are you referring to?
"unsafe work conditions such as damaged stairs and elevators."
As far as I know, employees shouldn't even be allowed in areas that are dangerous.
"Did you know that due to a lack of air conditioning the oppressive summer heat has lead to the creation of cool down rooms where employees can go and catch their breath."
I did not know about that. Although, if true, that issue is now resolved.
"cost of a new building... was around10 to12 million bucks." (now $15 million per your last post)
But, wasn't that just for a new facility to house JFS? What about all the other tenants at Oakhill? What about all the money that will be saved by closing the South Side Annex?
Every one of those statements is documented in fact, and I am also certainly not surprised you are unaware of them because you often see people popping off about what they do not know. All the other tenants represent a 2 million dollar shortfall in revenue versus cost. To make those repairs the county now has to float bonds, borrow against itself which is a desparation measure. You dont even dispute the statements listed above you just rationalize the outrageously STUPID idea it has been to move to Oakhill.. your "what if' and "well what about this" statements just dont erase the horrible cost associated with this purely political decision. And yes I did correct myself on new building cost, some of us like to be factual. And by the way withn regard to HVAC nothing has been resolved because the County has to rob Peter to pay Paul and float its own debts to pay for it, and they havent been able to come up with that kind of cash yet. Why doesnt this bother you?
If the Cafaros have so much political power why aren't they still renting to the county?
"Every one of those statements is documented in fact"
Where? I'd like to read more about these problems. (I will admit that I'm skeptical, as this wouldn't be the first time that false claims about the building's condition have been made.)
"the county now has to float bonds, borrow against itself"
And the county would have had to borrow even more money, just to build a new building for JFS.
"And by the way withn regard to HVAC nothing has been resolved because the County has to rob Peter to pay Paul and float its own debts to pay for it, and they havent been able to come up with that kind of cash yet."
It says right in the article that most of a $2.9 million "federal economic- recovery loan" has been spent on a new air-conditioning system. The boilers are also being upgraded/replaced soon, and that is at least partially paid for with a stimulus grant from the federal govt.
All in all, Oakhill still seems like a better deal, to me, than building a new building.
I think it was probably a better deal than moving into another vacant building available at the time, too. But, I can't say for sure, as I don't know what appropriate buildings were for sale 5 years ago.
A total money pit and a waste of tax-payer dollars. Just an opinion.
Just sit right back and you'll hear a tale, a tale of a fateful trip.

2009–A Year of Distinction
As we move into 2010, PNCA continues to contribute to the civic and cultural landscape of the Pacific Northwest as the epicenter of Portland's creative community — and as a place of distinction among the best schools of art and design in the nation.
The past year was significant. Not only did 2009 mark the College's centennial, 100 Years of Art + Design, but it also set a precedent for growth and change at the College.
In 2009:
"_Portland Architecture_":http://chatterbox.typepad.com/portlandarchitecture/ blog by Brian Libby named the rehabilitation of PNCA's Main Campus Building by Holst Architecture "one of the top rehab projects of the 1990s."
PORT Editor Jeff Jahn discusses the top PORT stories of 2009, including a piece on PNCA faculty member Stephen Slappe, an interview with Okwui Enwezor (keynote speaker of the FATE Conference, cosponsored by PNCA in April 2009) and faculty member and former MFA in Visual Studies Chair MK Guth's interview with Laura Fritz.

Maybelle Clark Macdonald 1916-2009
PNCA is saddened to announce the passing of philanthropist and community supporter Maybelle C. Macdonald, 93, who passed away December 10th, 2009 at her home in Portland, Oregon.
Mrs. Macdonald created the Maybelle Clark Macdonald Fund in 1970, and PNCA is honored to be among the organizations the fund supports. In April 2008, the Fund awarded a $1 million challenge grant to the College in support of the Centennial Campaign for PNCA+FIVE. This generous gift helped to make possible the purchase of the main campus building in October 2008. The grant has also been instrumental in enabling PNCA to attract additional support for its first comprehensive campaign.
Mrs. Macdonald was known throughout the community as a woman of great compassion and caring who created the fund "to relieve the misfortune and promote the well being of mankind". Now among Oregon's largest foundations, the fund will continue to support the good works of Oregonians in perpetuity in her honor.
