Let's move Cheong Wa DaeA former president once said that Cheong Wa Dae was like a prison without bars and a lonely place at night. In fact, the Blue House is surrounded by a wall. At the rear is a mountain, and the streets in front of it are full of secret service agents in suits, generating an atmosphere of heightened tension. Even though it is supposed to be open to the public, they say it takes weeks of thorough background checks for an ordinary citizen to be granted access to a tour that does not allow them inside the building. Moreover, the offices of presidential secretaries are in a different building, so even the chief of staff has to drive there and go through a security check by secret service agents to enter. By living in such a place, the president is completely isolated. From what I hear, an incumbent president is surrounded by a ``wall of people'' that consists of a select number of presidential secretaries and other close aides, and even during Cabinet meetings, all he hears is "Everything is fine," or "You are right." As no one speaks their mind, meetings tend to end with presidents giving orders to the Cabinet and staff. Close aides separate presidents from the nation. They determine presidential policy and many reports do not even reach the president without first being examined and approved by the aides, as they make decisions on the issues in most reports. Thus, as time goes on, their power increases, and the president becomes more isolated. President Lee Myung-bak is no exception. As his presidency limps into its lame-duck period, the same old way scenario of presidential aides going to prison for corruption offenses, is repeating itself. Koreans have already seen several times how things unfold in a situation like this. Even if these people are given harsh sentences, they are eventually granted a special pardon. After lying low for a while, they are then elected into the National Assembly or become a provincial governor. All this happens because presidents become isolated from the people allowing those with access to him to gain and abuse power. As a solution to this cyclical problem, I would like to make a couple of suggestions. First, the Blue House should be moved downtown where the president can retain frequent contact with ordinary people and see everyday life through the windows of his office. The White House is located in the middle of Washington D.C. Next to it are hotels and businesses, and the streets are busy with people shopping. People can tour the inside of the White House after access through a single security check point. If they are lucky, they can get a brief glimpse of the president at work. Hence, thousands of people from all over the world visit the White House. In the U.S., it is difficult for close aides to isolate the president as if he were a sort of mysterious figure. Secondly, the new office of vice-president should be created. A vice-president should run as the running mate to a president and serve the same term of office. Let's remove the office of prime minister, and instead, have a vice-president elected by the people. The reality is that our country's prime minister is used for changing political situations and is replaced almost every year. The position is also ridiculed as disposable figurehead appointment. I also heard that the president's close aides think little of serving prime ministers, because no one expects them to be incumbent for long. The obvious goal of a vice- president is to become the next president. Since his current administration should succeed in order for his goal to be achieved, a vice-president would not neglect his duties to the serving administration, and he can also tell the president the truth without hesitation. During a Cabinet meeting, he would not mince his words to ministers and the president. On a vice-president's watch, there would be no corruption of the people closest to the president. Having a vice-president would not cost more. The current budget for the office of the prime minister would be enough. The same office and residence could be used by just changing the badge of office. In this complex world, it is better to have a president and a vice-president putting their heads together to find solutions to the major issues that face our country than to have a president alone working on them. Having a vice-president is also the best way to prevent the corruption the president's inner-circle. By staying close to the people, a vice-president can manage their opinions more effectively, and the position would also have the effect of reducing the enormous powers of the president. Jay Kim is a former U.S. congressman. He serves as chairman of Kim Chang Joon US-Korea Foundation. For more information, visit Kim's website (www.jayckim.com). |

NZ Asia-Pacific Senior League Champions
- Details
- Published on Friday, 13 July 2012 02:33
- Written by Gareth Hooton
The New Zealand Senior League All-Stars won a close fought game, worthy of a championship final, defeating the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) Senior League All-Stars 2-1, on the final day of the 2012 Senior League Asia-Pacific Regional Tournament held at Paseo Stadium in Hagatna, Guam, to become Asia-Pacific Champions.
New Zealand suffered only one loss, to hosts Guam (19-1), on the Saturday, but won their four other games against Indonesia (17-3), China (20-4), Philippines (4-0), and CNMI (2-1) to finish the round of pool play with the best record (4-1) overall in the regional, outscoring opponents 44-27, advancing a New Zealand team to a World Series for the first time in the nation's history. As tournament champions New Zealand will represent the Asia-Pacific Region at the Senior League Baseball World Series this August in Bangor, Maine.
In the final must win pool game for both teams, New Zealand managed an early run in the opening frame, but this looked like it may be the only scoring opportunity in the game as CNMI buckled down on defence and the game turned into a real pitcher's duel between New Zealand ace Ja'rome Ritchie and the CNMI's A.J. Lizama.
Ritchie got out of a jam in the bottom of the first inning leaving the CNMI with two men stranded. Lizama answered notching his fifth strikeout in the top half of the second inning, followed by Ritchie coming back with a 1-2-3 inning to close out the second. Lizama repeated the feat in the top of the third, after which Ritchie and the NZ team held strong against the top of CNMI's line up.
Both teams executed impressively both on the mound and out in the field as hits were at a premium in the standoff, until New Zealand grinded out its second run in the fifth inning thanks to a leadoff double to left field by Hamish Witters, who was then driven home by Sam Clerk.
New Zealand's Ritchie stifled the CNMI's top of the order again in the sixth inning and held them to just one run in an exciting final inning.
The CNMI's Jun Rabauliman ripped a single to left and stole two bases before scoring on an error, and Frankie Camacho made it all the way to third base, but was left stranded as the CNMI team could not get the tying run to the plate.
The CNMI's pitcher Lizama was strong on the mound striking out nine through seven frames, giving up only one earned run off six hits, one walk, and two hit batsmen.
Winning pitcher Ritchie also went the distance giving up only one unearned run off seven hits with two strikeouts. He issued zero walks and canned nine put outs.

Since 2002's Senior League World Series, Asia-Pacific teams are 10-30 (.250) in pool play and 10-31 (.244) overall, with a semifinal appearance in 2009, when the Philippines posted the region's best pool play record in a series (3-1) before losing to eventual series champ West University L.L., Houston, Texas.
Auckland will play in Pool B, along with Europe-Middle East-Africa (EMEA), U.S. Southeast, U.S. Southwest, and U.S. West.
The Senior League Baseball World Series is one of eight World Series sponsored by Little League International. Senior League Baseball is for Little Leaguers ages 13 through 16. Little League is the largest youth sports program in the world.
The defending Senior League World Series champion is Hilo, Hawaii.

Hello all, I am 41 and having been TTC technically for just over a year.
Sat, 09-04-2010 - 4:40pm |
Unfortunately, there is no way of predicting how it will go beyond waiting for that follow up. I have read (on webmd) that beta levels "needing" to double is a mis-perception. 15% of normal pregnancies will have betas that increase at a slower rate.
It did go up, it just didn't double. I wish I could be more help, and I know it will be a long wait. But I don't think there is a 100% guarantee that this isn't viable. I wish you luck, and please keep us posted.
Sat, 09-04-2010 - 4:47pm |
good luck, Rai. I don't know anything about beta numbers, but don't lose hope yet.....

Strong Quarter for TV Propels US Ad Spend to a 3.5% Increase in Q2
US ad spending increased by 3.5% year-over-year in the second quarter of the year to reach $35.8 billion, dragging first-half expenditures up by 2% to $68.9 billion, per the latest figures from Kantar Media. TV's 6.4% bump in spending buoyed the overall totals, with TV's increase partly a result of NCAA Final Four basketball games being counted in the Q2 rather than Q1 figures. The researchers also note that the year-over-year gain is exaggerated by dampened spend in Q2 2012 as advertisers pulled back in advance of the Summer Olympics. Read more »

I notice a discontinuation in some GDA's. One thread mentioned N-R-Ala to be also discont. However It seems like we can make ourown GDA's from scratch. What effective GDA's do you guys use when doing a refeed/cheat-meal on a diet? I would assume
~ Biotin
~ Chromium
~ Vanadyl Sulfate
~ Cinnamon Cassia Bark Pills 6-8 grams
Perhaps Glutamine can also be a part of it.

Try making the frame from some hardwood like walnut, lime, spruce etc - balsa wood be too soft. Drape over your netting material (i've used model boat makers netting sprayed green and brown) glue down and add some leaves or similar. Just dont glue the frame to the base - you can hold it down with four small bits of blu tack.
Maybe think about planking the base as well. you caould use balsa for that.
I made some like this for 20mm figures all though the principle is the same for any size:
The leaves I got from Antoneciti's workshop - they do netting as well, or you can (try not to laugh ) tights, stockings etc sprayed brown/black/green etc.

I have a limited budget for this purpose, but I'm so sick of poor response that I think I have to do this. I want to keep it in the realm of about 50-65 USD, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
Brandon64 hit me the other day with this...I did a bit of Google-ing and found this...http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/search.php?switch_id=ALL&size=ALL&keyword= Hss a few in your range.
http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mechanical-keyboard-guide Quite a good comparison and information on the different switches. MX Blues are quite different, they are clicky and tactile like browns. I like Browns because the force is just right for me but i like tactile feedback. For linear switches i hear a lot of people prefer red switches to blacks as they have a lighter touch. Dunno about your price range but QPAD, Steelseries and Corsair do some good value boards; Max Keyboard, Ducky, Zowie, Filco, Das, Deck are a little more expensive. I dont know anything about Coolermaster keyboards. Not sure if it applies now but as i knew it Razer mechanical boards had build quality and reliability issues; they also have MX Blue switches which may be a factor in your choice.
I think this is the best one I could find at (about) my price range. Anyone own one or have experience with one? link
I think loud would be preferable to the "does not respond" that I'm often faced with with my keyboard. this looked good as well.
You have a Black Widow, not a CM Storm. Here's the Black Widow on Newegg for less money than that Cooler Master keyboard: RAZER Black Wired BlackWidow Mechanical Gaming Key...
I remember seeing your thread and wanted to mention the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid series keyboards, I don't know why I didn't end up making a post. I'm typing on a blue switch Quickfire Rapid keyboard this very moment and I cannot find anything to criticize about it. TheMailMan may not appreciate the noise, but I love every click and every clack. They have the keyboards in almost every color, I hear they even have a Cherry MX Green in the works. It lacks some of the gimmicks that other "gaming" keyboards have, but it's a solid contender if you can overlook the lack of features you'll probably never use. I've written two papers on this keyboard and I find that classwork has become less of a chore and more of a hobby.
My roommate whines about it to, I tell her to get lost. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can get in the way of me using this keyboard and bagging them A's (grades).
It sounds like you are walking into an office building 20 years ago. Sheesh, when you are playing I keep waiting to hear the deep voice of the man you are taking dictation from. Yes, I said man, as few women say things important enough to put on paper.
Hey Alex, you know my wife reads this forum? She wants to talk to you now... I gots me the BF3 razer keyboard, yeah it's loud, but unlike mailman, noone hears me typing through my mic. Mechanical are great for your fingers, as with most you do not have to bottom out for a key press, but adjsting after using domed keyboasrds can take some time. The whole reason we all hear mailman in TS is because he bottoms out the keys when he doesn't have to. I don't hear his keys actuating, I hear them bashing the bottom of the switch housing, which sounds about right for how mailman does things, too.
I have a Razer BlackWindow Ultimate and this is my only problem. I took my Logitech G110 to work to replace the POS I had there and it's still not good enough. I'm very happy with my Razer Keyboard. Might have to convince the boss to buy me one for work.
on vent and TS, I use PTT so it doesnt bother other people. Browns are quiet but only slightly less satisfying. I have never understood the idea behond NKRO. Could somone explain a situation, besides rage, that you would need to press more than 6 keys at once?

Quick Consultant: Business Valuations - The Sooner the Better!
It's never too early to develop a method for valuing what, for many in this industry, is the single largest asset owned jointly with your spouse (or your partner)—your printing business. The worst time to obtain a valuation is three months after...
I was impressed. It was one inch thick, 108 pages with charts and graphs, cost him $3,200, and valued his company at about 94% of its annual sales. Two things struck me after seeing it. First, I was charging way too little for my services. And second, the value placed on his business was far too high, in my estimation—certainly based upon what I knew of his company.
Okay, three years or so have passed and two weeks ago he contacted me. He tells me that he and his wife have drifted apart and they are now separated. His wife is now seeking a divorce (my guess, she is probably is seeing the pool boy). He now wants me to prepare a valuation of his firm. "I want this to be fair for both of us, but I really don't think the business is worth what she thinks it is worth, and I am hoping you can prepare a valuation for the business."
"What is she using as the basis for what she thinks it is worth?" I ask him. Well, you guessed it, his wife is using that $3,200, 108-page, one-inch thick appraisal and is demanding top dollar for her share of the business.
If you've never done a valuation of your firm, you should prepare for some ruffled feathers and raised eyebrows. It's going to be very hard for a husband, wife, or partner, who just finished reading this column to suddenly raise the subject for the first time without the possibility of some suspicion as to motive. Well, blame it on me if you need to, but it must be done. Forget the humorous references to pool boys and disposable phones, there are many other valid reasons for seeking a current valuation of your firm.
You've spent half your life building up what was supposed to be a nest egg for when you and your spouse retire or your partner wants out. You need to be able to pull out that "valuation folder" you started a few years ago (or maybe the one you prepared this week) and follow the agreed upon valuation process.
Available Valuation Methods
There are four basic approaches for valuing a small business:
1. The Income Approach measures current and projected streams of income.
2. The Asset Based Approach relies primarily on the net asset value of the business and relies upon book value, not liquidation value.
3. The Market Approach compares the subject company to similar size companies in the same industry and market.
4. The Excess Earnings Method is a combination of the first two approaches, which blends the value of current and projected income together with the assets used to produce that income. (This is the method I rely upon for valuing most printing businesses.)
Each of these methods can be further broken down, resulting in literally dozens of techniques and formulas for establishing value. Some of these techniques and formulas can get quite complex. Each method has its supporters and detractors.
Some approaches are used primarily to value large, publicly held corporations while others are more appropriate for valuing small, closely held family businesses. Whether the business is getting ready to shut its doors or is experiencing a banner year also plays a role in determining the approach to be used.
The most important thing that needs to be right done now is to start doing your homework and spending whatever hours are necessary to adopt some basic valuation method that not only makes sense to you but can be easily defended and explained to others.
A Special Caveat
If you think this column was written to promote the "Print Shop For Sale," the book authored by me and Larry Hunt, you are wrong. I would love to be promoting our book, but we are down to the last couple of dozen books. We are currently debating whether we should revise the book and then print, or just place an order for reprints with no changes. The former will take more time and the latter may end up being short-sighted. The decision is not as easy as you might think.
If you haven't purchased "Print Shop For Sale," and you are unable to find a copy, there are other good books and articles out there to choose from. A few of my favorites include:
- "The Small Business Valuation Book" by Lawrence W. Tuller
- "Sell Your Business Your Way" by Rick Rickersten
- "The Complete Guide to Buying a Business" by Fred S. Steingold
- "How to Buy & Sell a Business" by Garrett Sutton

text: I'm just coming off of the hybrid protocol after 5 weeks. I'm going to do 25mg/day for the next 2 weeks during my training break. Is there a best time to take that single dose? If I do any lifting during the 2 weeks, it will be very light and basically serve to keep me from going crazy towards the end of the break. I plan on dosing preworkout during those days.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - On Monday, hundreds of thousands will line the streets to celebrate President Barack Obama. No doubt they are all big fans, but have any of them written a song for him?
Royal Height of Prince George's County has. (That's his real name, btw) The R&B singer-turned-D.C.-street vendor-turned- biggest-Barack-fan-on-the-block-turned-presidential-theme-song-singer wrote his song, "Barack Steady," before the last inauguration. He says it took him just 45 minutes. "As an artist, when it happens, it just happens," he said.
And, it's been happening ever since. In four years, Royal's ironically sung it for kings, politicians, and tons of regular people too. But with the inauguration upon us, you might think he'll soon be seeing the song's best days in the rear view mirror.
Not so, says the Prince George's County optimist, "Even though the election is over, it's a celebration at this point, and the record company that I'm with, we've declared our song an official collectible," he said.
Since last time around, Height's tuned up the lyrics, and has a fancy new video. But his goals are still modest. "On this song, my initial goal was to have one hundred million people to hear it and appreciate it. Everybody wants a million, but I'm a hundred times better than that," he said.
If it sounds familiar, of course, it is: the melody is from a Whispers song. But the words, and the sentiment, are all Royal.
If you want to see the video or buy the song, you can at Theobamathemesong.com.
To be clear, It's not an official theme song as far as we know. Height is coming out with some new music, and timely enough, his next single is called "Tired of Living Paycheck to Paycheck."

Australia's efforts to save the Great Barrier Reef will be judged by the United Nations' environmental arm UNESCO in 2013, a deadline that will likely push efforts to the limits as this would be a make or break for the tourist attraction if t it is deserving as UNESCO's World Heritage site and worth to be preserved.
Early this year, Australia's attention was called on by the global body after the latter got worried over the gas industry developments on Curtis Island off Gladstone in Queensland. The UN body's apprehensions all the more got sizzled up when in October, a new assessment on the Great Barrier Reef revealed that coral cover had been slashed into half due to cyclones, bleaching and the crown-of-thorns starfish, all starting in the mid-1980s.
UNESCO is worried the ongoing gas industry developments will all the more facilitate for the faster eradication of what's left of the coral covers, which according to the study is expected to slash again in half within the next 10 years.

Mahatma Gandhi
"Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies inside us while we live."
Norman Cousins
"As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death."
Leonardo da Vinci
"According to most studies, people's number one fear is public speaking. Number two is death. Death is number two. Does that sound right? This means to the average person, if you go to a funeral, you're better off in the casket than doing the eulogy."
Jerry Seinfeld
"I am convinced that it is not the fear of death, of our lives ending that haunts our sleep so much as the fear... that as far as the world is concerned, we might as well never have lived."
Harold Kushner
"My young son asked me what happens after we die. I told him we get buried under a bunch of dirt and worms eat our bodies. I guess I should have told him the truth - that most of us go to Hell and burn eternally - but I didn't want to upset him."

Grand Island Race Information 2013
Grand Island Trail Marathon
"One of the Top Ten Marathons in North America introduced since 2003."
Runner's World Magazine, January 2008 "One of the top trail races in the U.S. for new trail runners." Runner's World Magazine, October 2010 "The water of Lake Superior is as clear and aqua blue as the Caribbean, with the kind of crystalline quality that lures you to cleanse yourself in its frigid embrace. You imagine you could walk right in and just just keep walking along the rock-strewn bottom in a beautiful blue purity." Bonnie Algera, 2006 Finisher |

The course follows the perimeter trail of the island counterclockwise up past Murray Bay and Duck Lake. At three miles the course heads eastward into the Tombolo, up into the island's thumb and then back along Trout Bay where runners can enjoy one of the most spectacular stretches of shoreline anywhere in the Great Lakes. Runners then ascend up the eastern cliffs of the island which treat runners to views of the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. The northern half of the island features 300 ft colored Jacobsville sandstone cliffs and the remote and exquisitely beautiful North Beach. The return trail on the island's western shore features remarkable vistas of Lake Superior. Much of the trail is shaded by lush hardwood forests. Exposed sections (atop cliffs) blanket runners with cool breezes off of Lake Superior. Trail includes single track, two track, and narrow dirt roads. The course is well marked with colored flags, directional arrows, and mile markers.
The marathon will have a two wave start. All runners who expect to finish in over 5 hours will start in wave 1 (6:00 a.m.). All runners in wave 1 will receive finisher medallions but will not be eligible for age group awards. All runners who expect to finish in less than 5 hours will start in wave 2 (7:00 a.m.). You can indicate your wave during online registration.
Note: This is a trail marathon on a wilderness island. Do not expect large numbers of spectators and the comforts of a road marathon. Do expect extraordinary beauty.

Half Marathon:
The half marathon course is a scenic loop that takes runners northeast up along Murray Bay and Duck Lake and then heads eastward into the tombolo. At four miles runners head back westward on the Trout Bay Beach. Runners then ascend inland to the heavily forested highlands of the island's interior. When runners reach Echo Lake they head toward the western coastal trail and rejoin the marathon course (22 mile mark of the marathon).

Creating a Positive Experience
Grand Island is an extraordinary place. Help us keep it that way by not littering and packing out all trash. Littering by a runner or a runner's family member will result in automatic disqualification. The course is challenging and requires runners to be well prepared. If you are not trained well, do not enter the race. The logistics of transportation to and from the island are planned to ensure smooth progress of passengers, but this requires runners to be on time for shuttle bus and ferry boat departures. The best option is to arrive early for everything. If you fail to make the boat, you start late. Important race information is now available and should be read, reviewed, and studied by participating runners. The critical information is found in three documents: 1) Race information, 2) Bus Schedule, and 3) Gear Checklist. These documents can be downloaded by clicking on the hyperlinked text. Print them if necessary and bring them with you. These documents will also be available at packet pick up. Also, bring a 20 oz water bottle - it is required in the marathon and half marathon. If you forget one, you don't race. This measure is implemented on both ecological and functional grounds. Aid stations can be up to 5-6 miles apart on this wilderness island, so the refillable water bottle will help ensure you have adequate fluids & energy in between aid stations.
If you leave any trash on the island or litter you will be disqualified and will not receive a medallion or other award. Do not expect to leave trash including plastic coffee cups, plastic beverage bottles (Gatorade, Powerade, etc), gum wrappers, food wrappers on the island. Do not throw these things in the porta-johns. Whatever you take to the island you must take back with you, including all your trash. If you have any reservations about this policy do not register for this event.
Gear Storage on the Island
There will be a large tent near the start/finish area to store your gear and protect it from the elements. The tent is not patrolled and we are not responsible for lost items.
Bikes are not allowed on the course during the race except for volunteers. This is for runner safety. Spectators who wish to ride bikes can use the internal forest roads to access several points on the marathon and half marathon course, but must remain off the actual running course at all times.
Dogs are allowed on the island but must be up to date on all vaccinations and be on a leash at all times. Dogs cannot be left unattended or tied up to a post or tree. All animal waste must be picked up and removed from the island. Failure to abide by this policy will result in disqualification.
iPods/MP3 Players
We advise against use of iPods and MP3 players by participants but they are not forbidden.
Natural History of Grand Island
Grand Island is a designated recreation area within the Hiawatha National Forest. It has a rich geological, biological, and cultural history. A US Forest Service Naturalist will provide an interpretive program on Friday July 26 at the Holiday Inn Express Lakeview, Munising, 3-7 p.m., during packet pick up.
Environmental Measures
- Each runner must carry a 20 oz water bottle or other functional hydration system. Cups are wasteful, end up in landfills, and don't work very well at hydrating runners. At each aid station runners can have their bottle or hydration system refilled quickly with either cold water or cold HEED via a pitcher poured by a helpful volunteer. All you have to do is open up your bottle or hydration system and request the fluid of your choice. This is an obviously superior system on ecological grounds, however, we have found it results in less spillage (less waste) and better hydration for runners (they have access to fluid between aid stations as it is always with them).
- Shirts for all events are made from 100% recycled polyester (soda bottles). We have purchased our shirts from Greenlayer in Portland, Oregon.
- Public transportation is provided to all runners and spectators free of charge. This means that you will be picked up at your hotel or campground and transported to the ferry boat dock. When you return you will also be transported back to your hotel. If you are not staying local, there will be bus stop at Munising High School.
- Foods served after the marathon are either locally produced, organically grown, or both.
- Marathon medallions are made locally from hand blown glass (Rick Shapero, Artist) or maple hardwoods harvested from the upper Great Lakes (John P. Wilson, Artist).
- Food waste is composted and all other materials are recycled.
- Course is marked with reusable flags that are removed after the event.
- Proceeds from the event support native plant restoration on Grand Island and maintenance of silent sport recreation trails in the Munising area.

Bethpage and Melville VOL. 9 N O . 5 Second Class Postage has been paid at FarminKdale, N. Y. 11735 • Published bv THE OBSERVER, INC., Box 146, Farmingdale, N. Y. Thursday, S e p t e m b e r 2 3 , 1 9 7 1 Village Reacts to Parking Gripes The Farmingdale Village Board of Trustees did not lose much time in tackling the parking problems of the Main Street area, which were rather forcefully brought to the board's attention on Monday, September 13, by a delegation of unhappy merchants. They complained that the new alternate- side- of- the- street parking rule for Main Street has removed so many parking spaces that their businesses are hurting. THE FIRST BLOW: Construction of the Town of Oyster Bay's North Massapequa Community Center, Albany Avenue, is underway. Town Supervisor John W. Burke swings the sledge hammer while Town Councilman Joseph J. Saladino, left, looks on. Two representatives of Gundersen General Contractors, Huntington, were on hand for the ground breaking: George Gundersen, president of the firm ( next to Burke) and Bob Gillespie, vice president. The community center is being constructed on the former site of the No. Massapequa Fire Department building. While, at least for the time being, no change in the alternate side parking regulation is contemplated, the village board at its meeting last Monday night moved speedily toward implementation of their promise given the week before, that the parking problem will be alleviated. More than 200 parking spaces, according to the board, would become available to the shopping public, if the village board and the merchants would act in concert. Toward this goal the Board of Trustees authorized Superintendent of Public Works Newman to prepare a strip of vacant land on the north side of South Front Street, between Elizabeth and Columbia Sts., for parking between 11 a. m. - 2 p. m., Monday through Friday. This area would provide for the parking of 31 cars, with the businesses catering to the luncheon trade being the primary beneficiaries of these additional spaces. The Board of Trustees is contemplating another area available for parking, for businessman and their employees, in the northerly area of the village on a permit basis. If this area is found acceptable, an additional 50 or more cars can be accomodated. Mayor Hallahan, in commenting on these proposals, noted that the cooperation of all businessmen and employees of the village is an essential ingredient to the easing of parking problems. The Municipal Parking Fields are primarily for the convenience of shoppers. In Parking Field No. 4, approximately 82 spaces are provided for 8 hour parking of employees and businessmen. However, seldom more than 20 are ever occupied. On the other hand, Parking Field No. 2, southwest of Conklin and Main Street, is overcrowded by employee parking and something will have to be done to overcome this situation. The Board of Trustees are considering such action presently. Mayor Hallahan issued an appeal that the businessmen of Farmingdale act in concert with the Board of Trustees. They and their employees will avail themselves of the spaces for 8 hour parking that presently exist, and with the additional areas proposed, more than 200 cars can be eliminated from the Municipal Parking Fields. Such spaces then would be available to the shopping public. Farmingdale Announces Cultural Program Highway Repairs for East Farmingdale Town Councilman Salvatore Mosca stated that the Department of Public Works plans to resurface various streets in the community upon the completion of design phase. The Councilman reported that the environmental improvements were recommended by Public Works Commissioner Gerard P. Trot ta and will include Beechwood Street, Hawthorne Street, Jervis Avenue and neighboring areas. Mosca said that upon completion of the design phases by the Department of Public Works and its consulting engineers, the Town Board will authorize public bidding on the project. Dr. Charles W. Laffin, Jr., President of State University at Farmingdale, announced that the College Union Board and the Student Activities Office have arranged for an outstanding program of Distinguished Speakers, Performing Arts and Motion Pictures for the school's Fall Calendar. Julian Bond, first black man to take Oath of Office to Georgia House of Representatives and a member of the House's Education, Insurance and State Institutions and Properties Committees, will be a feature of the Speakers Series, Thursday, November 4, at the college's Roosevelt Little theatre at 8 P. M. His topic will be " Collision Course in a Divided America." Another attractive speaker, John Sack, outstanding war correspondent, is to appear the following Thursday, November 11, at 11 A. M. Chosen by Lt. William Calley to write " Confessions of Lieutenant Calley" on the My Lai incident in Vietnam and a witness in the Chicago conspiracy trial, has as his topic, " Lieutenant Calley." The Speakers Series is slated to begin October 14 with the man and wife team, known as " The Great Gardino", who hav proved most popular with students throughout the country, on their demonstration lecture on hypnotism. The Performing Arts Series gets underway Thursday, October 7, with the play " Marathon," starting at 7 o'clock in the Roosevelt Little Theatre, which will be the scene of five other live performances during the Fall season. " Marathon" gives a capsulized view of the philosophy and techniques used by Marathon House in the rehabilitation of addicts. Eight ex- addicts, ages 15- 23 years old, who are presently residents of the House, recreate scenes that take Library Board Still One Member Short The appointment of a Librarv Trustee to bring the Farmingdale Library Board to lull stlength with five board members was to take place i) n Tuesday night's monthly meeting of the board However, since one board member. Joseph (" rosso, could not be present wfc HI the eight candidates for the vacant seat were interviewed, the board finally agreed to postpone its decision until the next monthly meeting in October. The other three board members, Irwill JacOVSky, Mrs. Hose Foucek and Robert Callahan, had reached a tentative agreemenl as to which can didate they would like to appoint. place during addiction and rehabilitation. While the play's content uses drugs as a theme, it is really a testimony and appeal for communication. It is during the " rap" session where the experience of the audience as they shared the various situations covered in the play sets the stage for a meaningful and valuable dialogue between the cast and viewers. On October 21, Rita Toy, ballerina, brings her Russian Dance Ensemble to the Farmingdale campus. Each member of this unique group has been solely presented to audiences with singular success. As a group, they are outstanding as each performer is an artist in his or her own right. An attractive Film Series will feature such outstanding motion pictures as " Zabriskie Point," October 5; " Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid," featuring Paul Newman and Robert Redford on October 19; " The Mouse That Roared," with Peter Sellers and Jean Seberg on November 2; " Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," with a cast including Spencer Tracey, Katherine Hepburn and Sidney Poitier in this Academy Award winner, November 16; Truman Capote's " In Cold Blood," November 30; " Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol," December 14, and " Barefoot in the Park," with Charles Boyer, Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, January 11. The Film Series will have two showings each time, 6and 8 P. M., at Roosevelt Hall. Will There Be School Lunches on Monday ? The new lunch program of the Farmingdale schools, managed under contract by a Philadelphia firm rather than by the school district itself, as was past practice, got off to a shaky start. Until yesterday, the people working in the cafeterias had not been paid by their employer, A. R. A. Management Service, for the previous week's work. The result was a work stoppage. The employees eventually got paid in cash, partly in dimes and nickels, from the children's lunch money. A. R. A. Management Service explained that the checks for the employees has gone astray. Tomorrow, Friday, the next pay check is due. If they should go astray again, the possibility of a lunch- less Monday looms. According to information received by the OBSERVER, the cafeteria employees would consider another work stoppage, although they have been threatened with dismissal if such action were taken

Weston celebrates 300th anniversary with snowmen
Posted: 02/12/13 at 7:10 pm Updated: 02/13/13 at 4:31 pm
Tags: Weston anniversary snowmen
WESTON, Mass. (WHDH) -- To celebrate the town of Weston's 300th anniversary, families with the Weston Children Community Association decided to build 300 snowmen.
"We've got carrot noses and button eyes and sticks for arms and now we're going to drive past the town green and admire them each day," said Kate Whitworth, a parent.
The rules are simple: make the snowman no taller than your kids.
"We had some plastic surgery to do. One of our little snowballs fell apart and we had to work on that," another parent said.
"My grandparents grew up in Weston, my parents are still here. It's a town people come back to," said Caroline Balz, a parent
Parents and children made over 200 snowmen, but a lot of them were knocked over.

Fort Drum— Routinely, the 10th Mountain Division holds team building events, which allow for soldiers to strengthen their skills and boost morale.
The 10th Mountain Division soldiers will be competing in the Mountain Winter Challenge on post, February 21st. The series of winter challenges will provide an opportunity for soldiers to honor those who previously made history.
Exercise, discipline, and having a competitive edge doesn't stop because of cold weather or snow. An estimated, 60 four-man teams will compete in a 10K course consisting of snowshoe, cross-country ski, sled pull and marksmanship events.
Soldiers will honor division's past during Mountain Winter Challenge, an Army.mil article provided this statement from Lt. Col. Paul Dismer, deputy commander of 10th Sustainment Brigade:
"The 10th Sustainment Brigade team successfully tackled these events in 2011, and we challenge the rest of the brigades in the 10th Mountain Division to attempt to match the never-ending drive for excellence the Muleskinners have always displayed."

U.S. stocks were little changed, with benchmark indexes trading near seven-week lows, as Americans signed fewer contracts than forecast to purchase previously owned homes and investors monitored earnings.
A measure of homebuilders in S&P indexes declined 2 percent. Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. plunged 10 percent as the largest U.S. iron-ore producer reported third-quarter results that missed analysts' estimates. Procter & Gamble Co., the world's largest consumer-products maker, rallied 2.8 percent after reporting profit that topped analysts' projections.
The Standard & Poor's 500 Index rose 0.1 percent to 1,410.20 at 3:22 p.m. New York time, trimming an earlier rally of 0.9 percent. The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 4.48 points, or less than 0.1 percent, to 13,072.86. Trading in S&P 500 companies was 3 percent higher than the 30-day average at this time of day.
"The market is trying to digest a lot of reports," said Walter Todd, who oversees about $940 million as chief investment officer of Greenwood Capital in Greenwood "For this earnings season, while expectations were fairly low, certain names are turning out to be worse than expected."
Equities reversed earlier gains as seven out of 10 groups in the S&P 500 retreated. Fifty-four companies in the S&P 500 are scheduled to release results today. Earnings at about 71 percent of the index's companies beat analysts' estimates, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Third-quarter sales missed forecasts at 61 percent of companies, the data showed.
Economic Data
Orders for U.S. business equipment stalled in September, capping a quarterly slump that signals investment will cool in the second half of the year. Fewer Americans filed first-time applications for unemployment benefits last week as the seasonal volatility at the start of the quarter wound down.
The S&P 500 fell 1.8 percent over the previous two days amid concern about a worsening earnings picture. The index is still up 12 percent this year on speculation central bankers will keep economies expanding.
"The market is zigzagging each day on earnings," said Paul Zemsky, the New York-based head of asset allocation for ING Investment Management, which oversees $170 billion. He spoke in a telephone interview. "Earnings did come out better-than- estimated yet revenue surprises are negative."
Nine out of 11 stocks in a measure of homebuilders in S&P indexes retreated. PulteGroup Inc., the largest U.S. homebuilder by revenue, dropped 3.2 percent to $16.89. Toll Brothers Inc. retreated 3 percent to $34.21.
Cliffs Natural Resources Inc. declined 10 percent to $38.28. Cash costs in Cliffs' Canadian division rose 21 percent to $106.06 a ton. Costs at the Bloom Lake Mine, which Cliffs acquired with its 2011 purchase of Consolidated Thompson Iron Ore Mines Ltd., increased 18 percent from a year earlier driven by higher fuel, labor, maintenance and supply expenses, the company said in the statement.
Best Buy Co. dropped 9.8 percent to $15.27. The retailer resisting a takeover attempt by its founder said fiscal third- quarter profit will be "significantly" below last year's results as sales at established stores continue to decline.
United Continental Holdings Inc. slid 4 percent to $19.46. The world's largest carrier posted third-quarter profit that trailed analysts' estimates as fuel costs increased while traffic and unit revenue declined.
The New York Times Co. plunged 20 percent to $8.47. The newspaper publisher led by Chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr. tumbled after reporting a surprise third-quarter loss as total advertising sales fell.
Mead Johnson
Mead Johnson Nutrition Co. dropped 9.3 percent to $63.03. The world's largest standalone baby formula maker reduced its earnings forecast for the year.
Procter & Gamble added 2.8 percent to $69.99. Chief Executive Officer Bob McDonald is working to introduce new products to regain market share and reduce costs amid pressure from activist investor Bill Ackman. P&G said it held or gained market share in categories representing more than 45 percent of sales in the quarter, up from 30 percent in the fourth quarter.
Symantec Corp. climbed 6.4 percent to $18.49. The biggest security-software maker forecast sales that topped projections. Symantec is doing a better job now at signing up customers at a time of sluggish spending by corporations and weak personal- computer sales, said Daniel Ives, an analyst at FBR Capital Markets & Co.
Casino companies rallied as Wynn Resorts Ltd. added 6.9 percent to $120. The owner of casinos in Nevada and Macau reported profit that beat forecasts and doubled its dividend. MGM Resorts International advanced 2.2 percent to $10.87, while Las Vegas Sands Corp. increased 4.2 percent to $46.16.
Akamai Technologies Inc. surged 6.3 percent to $38.40. The company, which helps businesses deliver data more quickly over the Internet, reported sales and earnings beat estimates. Akamai was also raised to outperform from market perform at Oppenheimer & Co. by equity analyst Timothy Horan. The 18-month target price is $50 per share.
ConocoPhillips gained 1.7 percent to $56.90. The Houston- based oil-and-gas producer said profit excluding one-time costs and gains was $1.44 a share, 25 cents more than the average of 18 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Angie's List advanced 25 percent to $11.32. The consumer- review website jumped after reporting sales that beat estimates as more members paid to use the service.
McKesson Corp. increased 4 percent to $93.12. The largest U.S. drug distributor agreed to purchase PSS World Medical Inc. for about $2.1 billion to expand in providing medical supplies and services. PSS World surged 32 percent to $28.59.
Options Market
Investors are flocking to the options market at an unprecedented rate to place bets on Standard & Poor's 500 Index volatility, a sign they see risks increasing after the calmest election year in two decades.
Outstanding contracts tied to the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index reached 9.01 million on Oct. 16, the highest level ever, according to data on open interest compiled by Bloomberg. Calls that pay should the VIX increase have almost tripled this year to 4.38 million, while puts climbed 52 percent to 2.14 million, the data show.
Traders are snapping up VIX options after the gauge, which moves in the opposite direction of the S&P 500 about 80 percent of the time, lost 22 percent in 2012 through yesterday. That's the largest annual drop for any election year since it was created in 1990, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. The VIX has climbed 22 percent since Oct. 18 as the equity gauge retreated 3.3 percent.
"The market is uncertain of the outcome of the election," Andrew Greeley, a senior managing director at Stamford, Connecticut-based Acorn Derivatives Management Corp., which manages more than $500 million in volatility assets, said yesterday. "It will be range-bound until it is decided. Soon after the election, we could experience a stronger move."
