Monthly Archives: January 2014

Personal Income Tax Data for 2013

The following is a reproduction of a memo sent on 14 January 2014 to all shareholders by our co-op’s certified public accountants: Prisand, Mellina, Unterlack & Co., LLP.

(View/download the scanned memo [PDF, 678KB].)

Dear Shareholders:

Under the provisions of Section 216 of the Internal Revenue Code, a tenant stockholder of a Cooperative apartment is entitled to deduct from personal gross income a proportionate share of interest and real estate tax paid or incurred by the Cooperative Corporation. Note that these deductions are generally available if the taxpayer itemizes tax deductions.

For the year 2013 your Per Share individual income tax deductions are as follows:

MORTGAGE INTEREST    $9.3775 per share

REAL ESTATE TAX    $19.7030 per share

For the year 2013, if you were granted any real estate tax abatements, reflected in a maintenance credit or received by check, your real estate tax deduction as stated above should be reduced by the amount of the abatements you received.

In order to compute your total deductions for 2013, multiply the number of shares owned by you, as indicated on your stock certificate, by the amounts per share stated above. If you became a stockholder, or sold your stock in the Corporation during 2013, you are permitted to deduct a fractional part of the figures, based on the proportionate part of the year you owned the stock.

Contributed capital in 2013 was $23.5902 per share for mortgage amortization and $3.7200 per share for capital assessment. This is not a deduction, but an increase in the basis of your investment.

Should you have any questions regarding the application of the aforementioned information to your individual income tax returns, please consult your personal tax advisor.

STAR and Co-op Abatement Credits

The following is a reproduction of a memo posted to the bulletin boards by Managing Agent Justin Verret on 13 January 2014.

(View/download the scanned memo [PDF, 300KB].)

Dear Shareholders,

The city has just released the breakdowns for the annual STAR and Co-op Abatement credits. In years past the breakdown was received in December or January and the credits were given back to those that qualify in equal monthly installments through June of that year. Last year the program was changed so that only shareholders who live in the building as their primary residence are eligible to receive the credits. The city was determining shareholder eligibility as of last June 2013, and the final list was not received by management until July 2013 with the credits being applied to accounts in August 2013.

Last year the STAR credits were given back before the Co-op Abatement. This is not going to be done this year to avoid the issues created by changes to the credits by the city after the fact. This means that STAR and co-op abatement credits will not be given back until the final list is received from the city. Hopefully this will be as soon as March 2014. This does not affect the total amount you are to be given back. It only affects the total number of months the amount is divided over.

If you do not receive STAR credits, you can still apply for the 2014/2015 tax year. The deadline for that is March 1st. The forms can be found online or by calling 311. The co-op applies for the Co-op Abatement on your behalf. You do not need to apply for that.

If you have any questions please call 914-524-8600.

Justin Verret

Certificate Forgery Case Against Gov. Bindow Of Adamawa State Stalled As Judge Withdraws | Nigeria News

Certificate Forgery Case Against Gov. Bindow Of Adamawa State Stalled As Judge Withdraws

Court Stalls Suit Alleging Gov. Bindow Forged A Certificate

Abdulaziz Anka, the Judge who is sitting over the case of certificate forgery against Governor Jibrilla Bindow of Adamawa State has withdrawn, explaining that he was no longer comfortable with continuing with it.

Anka announced his withdrawal from the case “on personal grounds” saying he would return the case file to the chief judge of the Federal High Court for re-assignment to another judge.

Governor Bindow allegedly forged his secondary school certificate, prompting a rights group, Global Crusade Integrity Network (GICN) to file a case against him before an Abuja Federal High Court in September last year.

Naija News recalls that the emergence and declaration of Bindow as the All progressive Congress,APC governorship candidate had raised disagreements among some party members in the state.

Had the move by the group to get the governor indicted succeeded, one of President Muhammadu Buhari’s in-laws, popularly known as Modi, would have been the major beneficiary having emerged the first runner-up in the disputed All Progressive Congress primaries in the state.

The case was initially filed before an Abuja Federal High Court presided by B.O Kadri who granted the plaintiff’s plea for accelerated hearing in October last year.

The case was subsequently transferred to Yola where the first respondent resides.

Mr Anka’s decision to jettison the case rattled many in the court especially Modi’s supporters who thought the sitting will disrupt Mr Bindow’s hope for a second term.

“Justice must not only be done but must be seen to be done,” Mr Anka said, reiterating that after hearing from the counsels and reviewing “what had become apparent, he was uncomfortable about continuing with the case”.

Reacting to the withdrawal of the Judge, the counsel to Governor Bindow, Chris Uche, said his client is ready to “follow the case to anywhere it may be taken”.

“As we said in the open court, we are ready for the hearing in the case to continue, but the judge recused himself from the case and it is being sent back to Abuja. Wherever they take us, we will go,” he said.

According to him the “case lacked merit and “had no chance of going far”.

“From when this case was first filed in Abuja, we raised the objection that the plaintiff (GICN) is an artificial person who has no locus standi to institute the case.

“The plaintiff was not an aspirant and is not a citizen of Adamawa State and has no business challenging Bindow as the candidate of the APC for the forthcoming election,” he added.

The counsel to GICN, Edward Omaga on his part said the network is an advocacy group duly registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) to carry out its functions “for or against persons and organisations anywhere across the country”, and could therefore not be said to lack locus standi in the suit against the governor.

March Exports Set All-Time Value Record

There is good news with the announcement of March pork export numbers, and even better news when one looks behind the scenes

There is good news with the announcement of March pork export numbers, and even better news when one looks behind the scenes.

The good news is that U.S. pork exports in March set all-time, single-month records with per-head equivalent value of exports at $56.52. Those exports also comprised 29.4% of all U.S. pork and pork variety meat production – another record.

March pork exports hit 217,025 metric tons (478.4 million pounds) and surpassed $553.6 million in value, a 31.3% increase in volume and a 40% jump in value over year-ago levels. For the first quarter of 2011, pork exports accounted for nearly 27% of total production and $50.79 in per-head export value, reaching totals of 554,185 metric tons (1.2 billion pounds) valued at nearly $1.4 billion.

Records Set Despite Barriers
The better news is that this success has been achieved while obstacles continue to hinder U.S. pork exports. The 5% NAFTA-related tariff in Mexico remains in place. Periodic plant delistings in Russia are a fact of life. Several competing nations already have free trade agreements (FTAs) approved that reduce the tariffs on their products. However, the reality is that international trade may never take place on a perfectly level playing field. The U.S. Meat Export Federation’s (USMEF)role is to support the industry and navigate around the barriers.

On the positive side, pending U.S. FTAs with South Korea, Colombia and Panama offer potential for reducing tariffs and increasing exports, but so far that potential is yet to be realized.

What we are seeing is growing consumer and trade acceptance and appreciation of U.S. pork around the world. Programs supporting U.S. pork are reaching new audiences and new market niches, and the quality and value of American pork is being well-received.

South Korea Sets Pork Import Pace
South Korea is an excellent example of the ground U.S. pork is gaining internationally. Of course, it must be noted that South Korea is still recovering from a devastating foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak that has wiped out one-third of that nation’s hog herd. That, along with the opening of a duty-free tariff rate quota on imported pork to help keep consumer pork prices lower, has created opportunities for all international pork exporters, and the United States is capitalizing on the situation.

While all imports of pork into South Korea have skyrocketed, U.S. pork is gaining market share over international competitors. Currently, the United States holds a 36% market share of South Korea’s imported pork compared to 28% last year. For the first quarter of 2011, U.S. pork to South Korea has increased a whopping 212%, totaling 73,905 metric tons (81,296 tons), valued at $175.9 million. In March alone, totals are 41,190 metric tons (45,309 tons), valued at $94.6 million – more than four times higher than in March 2010 and by far a new monthly record.

While pork-buying patterns in South Korea tend to slow in the spring, and U.S. prices are traditionally higher in the summer, USMEF is focused on maintaining our momentum throughout the year. The National Pork Board has responded to USMEF’s request by allocating $240,000 in Pork Checkoff dollars to expand and intensify our campaign to promote U.S. pork to South Korean consumers, importers and meat industry professionals.

USMEF also is seeking additional funds through the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Market Access Program (MAP) to sustain this program over multiple years. The United States faces aggressive competition in South Korea from the European Union (EU), Canada, Chile and other nations. The pending U.S./Korea FTA would be helpful in reducing tariffs and keeping the price of U.S. pork competitive.

For instance, South Korea and Chile approved an FTA in 2004, and since that time, Chilean pork exports to South Korea have quadrupled in value to $111.5 million last year. The EU/Korea FTA also will be implemented in July, creating additional pressure for passage of the U.S./Korea FTA to maintain a level playing field.

Other Markets Are Thriving
But South Korea isn’t the only market where U.S. pork exports are thriving. Exports to Japan, the No. 1 value market for U.S. pork exports, have continued their strong pace – up 31.7% in volume and 33.5% in value in March and a solid 24% in volume and 23% in value for the quarter. The United States also recaptured its 46% market share of Japan’s total pork imports after a slight decline last year.

Mexico remains the top volume destination for U.S. pork despite the 5% duty on bone-in ham and shoulder cuts, buying 139,591 metric tons (153,550 tons) in the first quarter, 5% less than in 2010. In terms of value, exports to Mexico are essentially level for the quarter ($255.4 million), but edged up 3.4% in March compared to year-ago levels.

The world’s biggest pork producer and consumer, the China/Hong Kong region, also saw imports of U.S. pork rise 31% to 89,043 metric tons (97,947 tons), valued at $129 million in the first quarter, while March imports of 32,614 metric tons (35,875 tons) were up 51% from last year, when H1N1 flu restrictions still hampered exports to China. Export values in March rose 31.4% to $47.5 million.

We see signs that China’s hog prices are on the rise, which will help build demand for imported pork. The U.S. market share has surged this year — accounting for 40% of China/Hong Kong’s first-quarter imports, up from just 16% last year.

While export gains are encouraging, we remain focused on other opportunities that will help sustain export growth. Niche markets within existing markets continue to provide potential for U.S. export growth, and we will continue to pursue these in locations around the globe.

States Pursue Rest Area Commercialization

Three states, including New Hampshire, Washington and New York, could consider legislation this year regarding rest area commercialization. New Hampshire and Washington are interested in authorizing the sale of commercial services in rest areas pursuant to a change in federal law. Legislation in New York, meanwhile, has been introduced to authorize the use of public-private partnerships in transportation including rest areas and a number of other facilities. Passage of these bills would increase pressure on Congress to act on the issue.

Measures under consideration, all of which would require a change in the federal law prohibiting rest area commercialization, include:

  • Legislation in New York would authorize the use of public-private partnerships in transportation, including rest areas and other transportation facilities. NATSO members should contact their assemblymen to ask them to oppose A 8487, which is sponsored by Democratic Assemblyman Joseph D. Morelle.
  • Legislation in New Hampshire, HB 1293 sponsored by state Rep. Ken Sheffert (R), would establish a commission to study retail opportunities and the sale of gasoline at rest areas on interstate highways.

Abundant Living

10 Practices Open Doors

Practices designed to enrich life with purpose and meaning yield empowering results for anyone that takes them to heart. Whether striving for a new job, higher salary, stronger relationships or spiritual acceleration, these “rules of the road” offer inspired guidance to free thinking and enlarge possibilities beyond anything we’ve ever imagined.

Be one with life: Belief in our oneness with “more than enough” sets us free to receive.

Be aware we live in an expanding universe: The creative life force of the universe constantly conspires for our good as we consciously participate in the process.

Be accountable for individual consciousness: How we perceive ourself and our world defines our experience. Changing our point of view can change everything.

Be focused: Establish and maintain a disciplined mind, focusing on what’s right with life rather than what’s wrong.

Be in the flow: The law of circulation manifests as either a cornucopia of more than enough or a vortex of not enough, depending on how freely energy flows through us. Remember that we are the gatekeeper that directs the flow.

Be passionate: Honoring our passions sets us free from the tyranny of a joyless life. Unearthing and living what creates joy, love and peace brings the gift of our authentic self to the party called life.

Be blessed: To be blessed and know it is to affirm that we are a whole person, with nothing missing. Sharing our abundance becomes our daily norm. This state of being blesses our world.

Be of service: When we serve others selflessly, we are recognizing that they matter. When someone knows they matter, they are intrinsically guided to demonstrate it in ways that serve others… and the circle is complete.

Be courageous: Boldly move beyond false limits to horizons that call us to new levels of self-expression and fulfillment, often in collaboration with a spirited community.

Be a catalyst for good: Such actions connect us directly to the secret of creating an abundant life—our innate oneness with the universe.

Synagogue Rampage Suspect Indicted on 2nd Day of Funerals

Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, a survivor of the weekend shooting, hurried from service to service

    Trump Visits Pittsburgh as Jewish Community Begins Burying Its Dead

    President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump visited Pittsburgh on Tuesday as the Jewish community began burying some of the victims of a massacre at Tree of Life Synagogue. (Published Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018)

    The suspect in the Pittsburgh synagogue massacre was indicted by a federal grand jury Wednesday, and members of a grief-stricken Jewish community endured another round of funerals for victims of the worst anti-Semitic attack in American history.

    Robert Bowers, a 46-year-old truck driver who authorities say raged against Jews as he gunned down 11 and wounded six, was charged in a 44-count indictment with murder, hate crimes and other offenses that could bring the death penalty. The indictment, which was expected, was announced on the second day of a weeklong series of funerals for congregants who perished in the mass shooting at Tree of Life synagogue.

    "Today begins the process of seeking justice for the victims of these hateful acts, and healing for the victims' families, the Jewish community, and our city," U.S. Attorney Scott Brady said in a statement. "Our office will spare no resource, and will work with professionalism, integrity and diligence, in a way that honors the memories of the victims."

    One after another, services were held for three more victims of the rampage: Joyce Fienberg, 75; Melvin Wax, 87, and Irving Younger, 69.

    "It can't be fixed," Robert Libman said at his sister's funeral, clutching his chest as he described the pain of losing her. "My sister is dead. My sister was murdered. There was no one I know like her. Pure goodness. ... She was the most tolerant and gentle person that I've ever known."

    Fienberg's sons, Anthony, of Paris, and Howard, of Vienna, Virginia, said she spent five years caring for their father as he battled cancer, then, after his death a few years ago, devoted more of her time and energy to Tree of Life. She was a retired researcher at the University of Pittsburgh.

    "My mom would be very angry that her funeral wasn't able to be at Tree of Life, and that her friends lost Saturday couldn't be here," Howard Fienberg said.

    Younger had a small realty office in Squirrel Hill, the heart of Pittsburgh's Jewish community, and coached baseball for more than 20 years. He loved to talk, and would gladly share his life story or stop strangers on the street to show them pictures of his grandson in California. One friend called him "a kibbitzing, people-loving man."

    Widowed a decade ago, Younger had a son and daughter in California, who waited all day Saturday to learn if he had survived. "That waiting stage was just unbearable," said his son, Jared, of Los Angeles. "Saturday was the most lonely day of my life."

    Jared Younger said that when his sister contacted him, he had a feeling it was about his father. Irving Younger hadn't been in great health, undergoing bypass surgery last year. Jared Younger said his dad drank Diet Coke for 40 years, quipping he was "anti-water."

    Pittsburgh Shooting Victims Remembered in US, Canada, France

    [NATL] Victims of Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting Remembered Across US, Canada, France

    People gathered in cities across the United States, as well as abroad in Canada and France, to remember the victims of a deadly shooting in Pittsburgh's Tree of Life synagogue that took 11 lives.

    (Published Monday, Oct. 29, 2018)

    The day's other funeral was held for Wax, a retired accountant who was regarded as a core member of the congregation at New Light, which rented space in the lower level of Tree of Life.

    A drained-looking Tree of Life Rabbi Jeffrey Myers, a survivor of the weekend shooting, hurried from service to service. "I can't imagine the stress he's under," said his predecessor, Rabbi Charles "Chuck" Diamond.

    As Younger's service was wrapping up, Myers momentarily forgot to read a letter to his family that another rabbi had sent.

    "After preparing for five funerals, you get a little verklempt," Myers said.

    Bowers remained jailed without bail ahead of an arraignment scheduled for Thursday.

31st of the Month, $1.31 Baskin-Robbins Scoops - NBC Southern California

31st of the Month, $1.31 Baskin-Robbins Scoops

The famous ice-creamery is launching the money-saver, tongue-cooler of a promotion.

    31st of the Month, $1.31 Baskin-Robbins Scoops
    The "Celebrate 31" program at LA-area Baskin-Robbins launches on Thursday, July 31. Upshot? Get a scoop for a $1.31. Will it also happen on Aug. 31, Oct. 31, and Dec. 31? You bet.

    There are numerous nostalgia prompts in our grown-up lives: front lawn sprinklers, bells on bikes, roller skates, and a thousand more.

    But perhaps the biggest prompt of all is ice cream, and how we daydreamed about it when we were kids, and how we dug around the couch or our piggy bank to find the change needed for a scoop down at the corner shop.

    Are your digging-for-change skills still in order? Because it is about to feel like a summer day from your childhood. That day is Thursday, July 31, and the "31" should be a clue to where we're headed with this (though "Baskin-Robbins" up above is another pretty obvious hint).

    On July 31 -- and Aug. 31 and Oct. 31 and Dec. 31 -- the "world's biggest ice cream chain" will offer regular scoops for four quarters, three dimes, and a penny (or whatever combo of coins or coins plus a bill you bring in). Yep: Get a scoop for $1.31.

    You know that Baskin-Robbins began in Glendale, yes? Surely you've unleashed your 31 Flavors knowledge over a cone or two, in your time.

    The chain is opening its "Celebrate 31" program, a promotion that'll run at Los Angeles-area Baskin-Robbins stores through the remainder of the year, but, note, only on days that happen to be the 31st of the month.

    July 31st should be toasty, and Aug. 31, too, but are you ready for a 4-ounce scoop of S'more the Merrier on Halloween and New Year's Eve? Of course you are: Holidays and fun-eating are ol' pals.

    Summery flavors are ruling at the moment -- the s'mores one is indeed a seasonal treat -- so look for State Fair Fried Dough and Peanut Butter and Jelly, too.

    Yep, those definitely are nostalgia-makers, like finding some coins for a scoop of ice cream. Have you had your dose of old-school summer sweetness yet? Want it, without spending a bundle, or even two bucks? Circle the 31st on your calendars, mavens of cold, sweet treats.

    Are September and November a little blue they're not included? Being only thirty days each?

Small Business Owners Putting Work Before Health - NBC Southern California

Small Business Owners Putting Work Before Health

A new study says the bad economy has been hazardous to the health of many

    There's an old saying about working smarter, not harder. A lot of small business owners feel like that's been updated to working harder, not healthier.

    Party planner and toy store owner Don Queen says he works 11 hours a day, seven days a week.  He says keeping his "Happy Parties" store running in this economy is taking a toll on his health.

    “Because of the situation with me not making the money I used to," said Queen. "I’m affected because I cut back. Unfortunately, health insurance was the first thing to go.”

    He isn't alone. A new study by Manta, an online community for small businesses, says nearly half of small business owners surveyed admit to putting work before health. Most say they work well over 40 hours a week. They also say they are short-tempered and that they've gained weight.

    Small Business Owners Put Work Before Health

    [LA] Small Business Owners Put Work Before Health
    Small business owners are struggling in the bad economy. Now their health is suffering, too.
    (Published Tuesday, Dec. 13, 2011)

    It's not surprising, said NBC4 Medical Editor Dr. Bruce Hensel.

    “When you’re under stress, and are working a lot of hours, you’re not sleeping as well and you tend to chose foods that are not healthy," says Dr. Hensel. "You choose fast food, you don’t digest it as well, your hormonal balance changes, and you’re at risk of heart attack, stroke and other problems.”

    Dr. Hensel advises his stressed out patients to plan ahead. He says busy people need to schedule exercise and routine medical tests as part of their week.

    “Everybody’s worried about the economy," says Dr. Hensel. "But if you don't stay healthy, it doesn't matter how much money you make.”

    Don Queen says he'll try to do better. But he's got bills to pay.

    “If the economy picked up, that sure would help," he says.

College football stats: Best numbers from Week 10

5 Five undefeated teams saw their perfect records come to an end throughout Week 10. It started with Toledo's loss to Northern Illinois on Tuesday and didn’t stop there. Alabama rolled over LSU, Oklahoma State dominated TCU, Navy ran over Memphis and Nebraska stunned Michigan State with a controversial touchdown all on Saturday. The Horned Frogs (16), Tigers (15) and Spartans (12) had the second, third and fourth longest active FBS winning streaks respectively before their losses. Ohio State still holds the longest active winning streak at 22 games. Only six unbeaten teams are left heading into the final weeks of the season, with two [Baylor and Oklahoma State] having to face each other on Nov. 21.

MORE: Keep track of undefeated teams left in 2015

6 Louisiana Tech’s Kenneth Dixon rushed for six touchdowns in the team’s 56-13 conference win over North Texas. Dixon set the new single-game record for Conference USA.  He carried the football 22 times for 195 yards with an 8.9 yards per carry average and his longest touchdown went 55 yards. Dixon is now tied with Baylor WR Corey Coleman for the most points scored in 2015 and also tied Derrick Henry’s mark for most touchdowns rushing.

28 Will Fuller passed Jeff Samardzija and Golden Tate on Notre Dame's career touchdown receptions list with his three touchdowns in the Irish's 42-30 win against Pittsburgh. Fuller, who now has 28 career touchdowns, only trails Michael Floyd’s 38 TDs on list. Fuller also joins Samardzija and Tate as the only receivers to have multiple three-touchdown games in their careers. It was also the ninth 100-yard game for Fuller, who finished with 152 yards, and he ties Samardzija and Derrick Mayes for fourth in school history with the most 100-yard games.

31 Leonard Fournette finally met his match with Alabama’s defensive front seven, as he posted just 31 yards rushing. It was the first time this season Fournette, who has averaged 193.1 yards per game, failed to rush for at least 150 yards in a game. The Crimson Tide has allowed only 11 players to rush for more than 100 yards in a single game during Nick Saban's tenure and a nation-best 16 players dating back to 2005.

36.8 Wide receiver James Washington provided a huge contribution in Oklahoma State's win over TCU. Washington caught five passes against TCU for 184 yards, which averaged 36.8 yards per a reception. All three of his touchdowns went for at least 45 yards with receptions of 74, 50 and 48 yards. Washington completed his third straight game with at least 100 receiving yards and had the most yards for a wide receiver against TCU this season.

524 North Carolina’s Marquise Williams seemed unstoppable in the first half against rival Duke and put up record numbers for the Tar Heels on Saturday. The quarterback racked up 404 passing yards and three touchdowns of 49 yards or more through the first two quarters. Williams is the first quarterback with 400 or more passing yards in the first half since Purdue's Kyle Orton threw for over 400 yards against Indiana in 2004, according to ESPN Stats and Info. Williams would finish the game with five touchdowns and became the first ACC player to have over 500 yards of total offense in a game [524 yards]. Williams also set the school record for career touchdowns and single-game passing yards.

Penn downs Wagner in NCAA opener

  Nina Corcoran broke Ivy League records for season and career assists in Penn's opening-round win.

TOWSON, Md. -- For the third consecutive season, the University of Pennsylvania will play in the second round of the NCAA championship after a 17-7 win over Wagner at Towson’s Johnny Unitas Stadium on Friday.

No. 7 Penn led practically the entire way, as Wagner only tied the game on two occasions as the Quakers used a plethora of mini-runs to pull away.

The Red and Blue were the definition of efficiency in the first half, scoring eight goals on 10 shots while the Seahawks managed just three goals on 11 shots. For the game, Penn scored its 17 goals on 23 shots on goal – a shooting percentage of .739.

It was another record-setting day for senior Nina Corcoran. She scored Penn’s second goal to become Penn’s single-season points leader, eclipsing the previous record of 76 set by Ali DeLuca in 2010. She finished the day with seven points in the game, giving her 82 for 2016. Late in the game, Corcoran dished off her fourth assist of the day, giving her 125 for her career which broke a 33-year-old Ivy League standard previously held by Harvard’s Maureen Finn.

“Nina is no question one of the best players I have ever coached,” said head coach Karin Corbett. “She is so unselfish and reads her defender so well. I do believe she is one the main reasons we are here.”

Alex Condon and Catherine Dickinson finished the game with four goals each; for Condon, it marked her 10th hat trick of the season and eighth in the last nine games. Iris Williamson joined Corcoran as a three-goal scorer.

Condon has now scored 41 goals this season, moving into No. 6 all-time by a Quaker. Iris Williamson is not sitting on 99 career goals – one away from becoming the ninth Quaker to reach the 100-goal mark for her career.

Emilia Lopez-Ona had a career-high seven draw controls, helping Penn to an 18-8 edge on the draw circle. The seven draws by ELO are tied with Alison Ambrozy (vs. Duke, 5/23/08) for most in a NCAA Tournament game by a Penn player.

The Quakers picked a great time to have their most dominant game in recent memory. The Red and Blue set 2016 highs in goals (17), assists (10), points (27), free position goals (3), and draw controls (18).

The game was not only the best by a Penn squad during 2016 – it is among the best ever played by the Quakers in NCAA tournament action. The 17 goals scored are the most by a Penn team in a NCAA tournament game.

The Quietest Place on Earth Can Drive You Mad in Less Than an Hour

Photo: Steven Orfield/Orfield Labs

If you think that loud noises drive you mad, try this quiet room for a change.

The anechoic chamber at Orfield Laboratories in South Minneapolis, certified as the quietest place on Earth by the Guinness World Records, is so quiet that the longest anyone has survived being in there is just 45 minutes:

‘When it’s quiet, ears will adapt. The quieter the room, the more things you hear. You'll hear your heart beating, sometimes you can hear your lungs, hear your stomach gurgling loudly.

‘In the anechoic chamber, you become the sound.’

And this is a very disorientating experience. Mr Orfield explained that it’s so disconcerting that sitting down is a must.

He said: ‘How you orient yourself is through sounds you hear when you walk. In the anechnoic chamber, you don't have any cues. You take away the perceptual cues that allow you to balance and manoeuvre. If you're in there for half an hour, you have to be in a chair.’

Sounds like a real trip. I'd love to check it out just to contrast it with regular life.

That said, I got a fan on now in my apt and love the white noise.
Abusive comment hidden. (Show it anyway.)
Wait, what do they mean by "quiet"?

For starters, I don't see any figures here. And what those figure would reveal is not how quiet something is, but at what frequencies and at what times it is quiet.

The efficiency of an anechoic chamber is expressed by the lowest frequency at a given T-60 (T-Sub-60) measurement. That is, T-60 is the (T)time it takes for a given frequency to drop by 60 dB .

Example, if you put a blast of 120 dB white noise through a speaker in the middle of a basketball gym, and cut the signal, how long will the 1K frequency reverberate and echo before it's strength is 60 dB lower than when you turned off the sound source?

It's fairly easy to cut the reverberations (i.e. make something anechoic) of, say, a 10K Hz or 5K Hz tone. Making something anechoic at 175 Hz or less becomes MUCH more problematic.

I've worked in anechoic chambers that are, in the parlance of the industry, "dead" down to ~90 Hz. Actually, I've spent hours in them, and I don't know what all this stuff about "ooo-aaa, you can only spend 25 minutes in there, scary!!' is.

We do a lot of jobs in the gorgeous homes of Boston's South End, so when we got a call from a homeowner on Upton Street, we were familiar with the problems they were experiencing. All we needed to do was assess the current system and install a solution that would complement what was already in place.

A new Mitsubishi multi-zone AC unit in Boston’s South End.

Problem: The existing system didn't provide AC to the four-story Brownstone evenly, effectively or efficiently.

Solution: A five zone Mitsubishi ductless split system powered by one outdoor condenser and five wall-mounted heads, also known as cassettes, were installed.

A Good Investment

This was a brand-new installation (July 2015) and a new home owner, so without a utility bill history on the property we were unable to do an energy cost-savings analysis for this job.

What we did know is the homeowner has protected his home and his long-term property value by choosing some of the best heating and air conditioning systems available to the residential market.

The warranty on all qualifying systems installed after April 1, 2015 has recently been extended to 12 years! Click here to see the details.

A Mitsubishi ductless split system was the perfect solution for this Brownstone in Boston’s South End

The Ideal Air Conditioning Solution for a Boston Brownstone

In the end, we chose a textbook Brownstone solution.

Based on the homeowner's wish to have absolute control over the temperature in every room in the house, we recommended a five head multi-zone unit from Mitsubishi.

Because we can run all five heads off the same outdoor unit, which keeps the cost under control, we were also able to make this install quickly and efficiently.

We dropped the condenser on the back patio and hid the line in a piece of crown molding, so it blends right in with the brick. All in all, the installation was seamless and didn’t interfere with the home’s beauty.

Do you love this place or what?
Seamless installation of the outdoor ductless, multi split AC system.

2,000 Rally For Pipeline—& Put Eli On Notice

Melissa Bailey PhotoAs Yale’s union contract comes up for renewal, Ronice Awudu braved the rain with her 11-month-old son to join hundreds of coworkers calling for good jobs and benefits.

Yale union members and supporters took to downtown streets Wednesday afternoon for a lively march and rally entitled “Let’s Get to Work.” The event was billed as an act of solidarity for a new labor-affiliated coalition that came together a year ago. The coalition helped launch a new set of labor-backed candidates to victory, forming a supermajority on the Board of Aldermen.

Wednesday’s rally featured many people who were newcomers to politics when the coalition got together last year and have since landed positions as aldermen or Democratic Town Committee members. It was put together by the Yale unions and the Connecticut Center for a New Economy.

Organizers pegged Wednesday’s crowd at 2,000; police gave no official estimate.

The rally came as Yale’s UNITE HERE unions, pink-collared Local 34 and blue-collared Local 35, head toward negotiations over new labor contracts for some 4,700 workers. The current contracts, settled in a historic peaceful accord in 2009, are set to expire in January 2013.

The rally, the latest in a series of lively shows of force for the city’s new leading political force, made clear that organizers intend to merge municipal and university foci in their movement. The march started a block from City Hall. It ended up at Yale’s medical school.

Awudu (pictured above) had contract negotiations on her mind as she pushed her son Adrian across town in a stroller, hitting a pothole on Crown Street. Awudu, who’s worked at Yale for 10 years, said she has gone on strike before and is willing to do so again.

“We don’t want to have to go on strike,” she said. “I hope this allows us enough clout” to retain the benefits workers enjoy at Yale.

The contract loomed large in the chants that echoed through town as the group walked from the Green to Yale’s medical district.

The rally began in light drizzle around 6:15 outside the United Church on the Green, where Local 34 had just held a membership meeting.

The New-Haven based brass band Kings of Harmony led the way down Temple Street.

Signs called for “safe streets,” “great contracts,” “good jobs,” “organizing rights” and “youth opportunities.”

“What do we want? A contract!” workers chanted.

“We are the unions, the mighty mighty unions,” sang Beaver Hills Alderman Brian Wingate of Local 35. “Everywhere we go, people want to know who we are, so we tell them ...”

Aldermen postponed a meeting of the Finance Committee by one hour so they could participate in the march.

Wingate paused at the corner of Temple and Crown to greet Major McCutchen, who said he has a good union job at Metro-North Railroad. McCutchen had stumbled across the march and started taking photos.

“What, are they laying people off?” he asked.

Yale President Rick Levin recently told the Yale Alumni Magazine that workers may face some cuts as the university faces a deficit for fiscal year 2013.

McCutchen said he supports the rally.

“In this down economy,” he said, “we need this right now.”

Yale workers were joined by youth activists at The New Elm City Dream ...

... the Young Communist League ...

... Students Unite Now!, a pro-union group of Yale undergraduates that formed out of last year’s aldermanic elections, ...

... and the occasional pooch.

As the group filed towards its final stopping point on Cedar Street, Rev. Scott Marks stopped to sing along with the band ...

... then asked them to quiet down as he squeezed in a few more chants before the rally began.

Hill Alderwoman and Democratic Town Committee Chair Jackie James got on a makeshift stage. She looked out at the crowd and said she saw a strong coalition of New Haveners, both employed and unemployed.

“This is how we’re going to get the jobs pipeline done,” she remarked.

West River Alderwoman Tyisha Walker, who works as a cooks helper in Yale’s Commons dining hall, delivered a message to Yale.

“I just want the university to know that we have no interest in going backwards,” she said.

After she spoke, the rain stopped.

“The clouds have parted,” remarked Local 34 President Laurie Kennington as she introduced the chair of the Graduate Employees and Student Organization, which has been trying to unionize for 20 years.

“That’s because GESO will finally win its fight.”

“We look forward to winning our next contract,” declared GESO chair Kate Irving from the stage.

Scott Marks ended the rally with a round of “we will be back!”

Sabina Earl (pictured at left with Betty Alford) of AFSCME Local 217 took the mic and belted out that chorus as the crowds filed away.

Give me a break.Look If you are a blue collar worker, the vast majority of the politicians in both major political parties do not care about you.What they do care about is winning elections and taking care of the big donors that keep helping them win elections.Remember Ross Perot tried to warn the people that many of those donors are systematically shipping huge numbers of our jobs overseas.Remember he said that giant sucking sound is American jobs going overseas.Wake up people,There are no jobs for you.

Great to see people engaged and marching. But, I find it ironic that the Alders shown in this article just voted down the best opportunity in a generation to connect jobs to people who actually live here. See comment at http://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/carbones_pipeline_call_dont_forget_the_99ers/. These Alders just threw out thousands of union jobs.

YAY! This is my first time commenting on something like this, but this rally is inspiring. I’m so proud of all those who marched and I wish I could have been out there yelling with you.

My family, my friends, and my neighbors we all talk about having to make really tough choices to be able to survive in this tough economy and I want the city to do right by us and make sure that good jobs for hard working people is at the top of the city’s agenda.

I want to be out there at the next rally!

posted by: movado on April 26, 2012  11:21pm

It was so amazing to participate in this rally!  The coalition of so many different groups, doing the work to understand how their causes are united, is phenomenal!  There is a movement happening in New Haven that I don’t see replicated anywhere else, and I am so excited about being a part of it!

More in my Fabric Sketchbook

In my last post I showed you my Fabric Sketchbook as far as I had got on the two day course.

When I got home I worked on it again adding the exercises suggested by Dionne that I hadn't had time to do.

I made a stamp and found the stamps I had made from Dionne's online course Developing Sketchbooks.

I used black acrylic paint to stamping my fabric sketchbook.  I also developed the teardrop shape which I had found in amongst the pages.

And here is my book which could be called finished.  Although there's plenty of scope for more machining and handstitching.

The back (left) and front pages

I really enjoyed doing this workshop and I feel much more confident about using my machine.

Be aware though that if you book for next year's course you won't end up with what I did.  Firstly, each of us on the course ended up with something different, and secondly, Dionne teaches it slightly differently each time she does the workshop.

Thanks for joining me today

  1. Some powerful designs and marks. I like very Dionne s work, too.

I would love you to leave me an encouraging comment. Thanks.
