Village Council to Issue RFP for Architectural Services
July 1, 2009 — The Village Council agreed tonight to move forward with writing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for architectural services for a renovated Graydon facility. The goal in preparing this document is to solicit estimates from firms that can provide more accurate design plans and updated construction costs based on a new design concept. We expect this next phase to take several weeks, and following that we hope to help the Village develop a financial plan for how a new facility can be realized without impact to taxpayers.

Two Centuries On, a Cryptologist Cracks a Presidential Code
>
Unlocking This Cipher Wasn’t Self-Evident; Algorithms and Educated Guesses
By RACHEL EMMA SILVERMAN
https://online.wsj.com/article/SB124648494429082661.html?mod=yhoofront
For more than 200 years, buried deep within Thomas Jefferson’s correspondence and papers, there lay a mysterious cipher — a coded message that appears to have remained unsolved. Until now.
The cryptic message was sent to President Jefferson in December 1801 by his friend and frequent correspondent, Robert Patterson, a mathematics professor at the University of Pennsylvania. President Jefferson and Mr. Patterson were both officials at the American Philosophical Society — a group that promoted scholarly research in the sciences and humanities — and were enthusiasts of ciphers and other codes, regularly exchanging letters about them.
University of Pennsylvania Archives
Robert Patterson
In this message, Mr. Patterson set out to show the president and primary author of the Declaration of Independence what he deemed to be a nearly flawless cipher. “The art of secret writing,” or writing in cipher, has “engaged the attention both of the states-man & philosopher for many ages,” Mr. Patterson wrote. But, he added, most ciphers fall “far short of perfection.”
To Mr. Patterson’s view, a perfect code had four properties: It should be adaptable to all languages; it should be simple to learn and memorize; it should be easy to write and to read; and most important of all, “it should be absolutely inscrutable to all unacquainted with the particular key or secret for decyphering.”
Mr. Patterson then included in the letter an example of a message in his cipher, one that would be so difficult to decode that it would “defy the united ingenuity of the whole human race,” he wrote.
There is no evidence that Jefferson, or anyone else for that matter, ever solved the code. But Jefferson did believe the cipher was so inscrutable that he considered having the State Department use it, and passed it on to the ambassador to France, Robert Livingston.
The cipher finally met its match in Lawren Smithline, a 36-year-old mathematician. Dr. Smithline has a Ph.D. in mathematics and now works professionally with cryptology, or code-breaking, at the Center for Communications Research in Princeton, N.J., a division of the Institute for Defense Analyses.
A couple of years ago, Dr. Smithline’s neighbor, who was working on a Jefferson project at Princeton University, told Dr. Smithline of Mr. Patterson’s mysterious cipher.
Dr. Smithline, intrigued, decided to take a look. “A problem like this cipher can keep me up at night,” he says. After unlocking its hidden message in 2007, Dr. Smithline articulated his puzzle-solving techniques in a recent paper in the magazine American Scientist and also in a profile in Harvard Magazine, his alma mater’s alumni journal.
The “Perfect” Cipher?
The 1801 letter from Robert Patterson to Thomas Jefferson The code, Mr. Patterson made clear in his letter, was not a simple substitution cipher. That’s when you replace one letter of the alphabet with another. The problem with substitution ciphers is that they can be cracked by using what’s termed frequency analysis, or studying the number of times that a particular letter occurs in a message. For instance, the letter “e” is the most common letter in English, so if a code is sufficiently long, whatever letter appears most often is likely a substitute for “e.”
Because frequency analysis was already well known in the 19th century, cryptographers of the time turned to other techniques. One was called the nomenclator: a catalog of numbers, each standing for a word, syllable, phrase or letter. Mr. Jefferson’s correspondence shows that he used several code books of nomenclators. An issue with these tools, according to Mr. Patterson’s criteria, is that a nomenclator is too tough to memorize.
Jefferson even wrote about his own ingenious code, a model of which is at his home, Monticello, in Charlottesville, Va. Called the wheel cipher, the device consisted of cylindrical pieces, threaded onto an iron spindle, with letters inscribed on the edge of each wheel in a random order. Users could scramble and unscramble words simply by turning the wheels.
But Mr. Patterson had a few more tricks up his sleeve. He wrote the message text vertically, in columns from left to right, using no capital letters or spaces. The writing formed a grid, in this case of about 40 lines of some 60 letters each.
Then, Mr. Patterson broke the grid into sections of up to nine lines, numbering each line in the section from one to nine. In the next step, Mr. Patterson transcribed each numbered line to form a new grid, scrambling the order of the numbered lines within each section. Every section, however, repeated the same jumbled order of lines.
The trick to solving the puzzle, as Mr. Patterson explained in his letter, meant knowing the following: the number of lines in each section, the order in which those lines were transcribed and the number of random letters added to each line.
The key to the code consisted of a series of two-digit pairs. The first digit indicated the line number within a section, while the second was the number of letters added to the beginning of that row. For instance, if the key was 58, 71, 33, that meant that Mr. Patterson moved row five to the first line of a section and added eight random letters; then moved row seven to the second line and added one letter, and then moved row three to the third line and added three random letters. Mr. Patterson estimated that the potential combinations to solve the puzzle was “upwards of ninety millions of millions.”
Thomas Jefferson
After explaining this in his letter, Mr. Patterson wrote, “I presume the utter impossibility of decyphering will be readily acknowledged.”
Undaunted, Dr. Smithline decided to tackle the cipher by analyzing the probability of digraphs, or pairs of letters. Certain pairs of letters, such as “dx,” don’t exist in English, while some letters almost always appear next to a certain other letter, such as “u” after “q”.
To get a sense of language patterns of the era, Dr. Smithline studied the 80,000 letter-characters contained in Jefferson’s State of the Union addresses, and counted the frequency of occurrences of “aa,” “ab,” “ac,” through “zz.”
Dr. Smithline then made a series of educated guesses, such as the number of rows per section, which two rows belong next to each other, and the number of random letters inserted into a line.
To help vet his guesses, he turned to a tool not available during the 19th century: a computer algorithm. He used what’s called “dynamic programming,” which solves large problems by breaking puzzles down into smaller pieces and linking together the solutions.
The overall calculations necessary to solve the puzzle were fewer than 100,000, which Dr. Smithline says would be “tedious in the 19th century, but doable.”
After about a week of working on the puzzle, the numerical key to Mr. Patterson’s cipher emerged — 13, 34, 57, 65, 22, 78, 49. Using that digital key, he was able to unfurl the cipher’s text:
“In Congress, July Fourth, one thousand seven hundred and seventy six. A declaration by the Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled. When in the course of human events…”
That, of course, is the beginning — with a few liberties taken — to the Declaration of Independence, written at least in part by Jefferson himself. “Patterson played this little joke on Thomas Jefferson,” says Dr. Smithline. “And nobody knew until now.”

>Global Warming: healthy degree of skepticism
>PJ:
Dr. Paul Reiter was a known skeptic of global warming science by the time he applied to be a member of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. He was turned away, and not on the basis of his qualifications, as the following article shows (see next comment).
The process by which the UN’s IPCC was created ensured that it would be populated by those who are committed to the cause of climate change alarmism. Garbage in, garbage out.
Based on the flaws that were present at the birth of the UN’s IPCC, I would say that its eventual findings on the globabl impact of atmospheric carbon dioxide should be accorded no greater weight than those of your average supermarket tabloid.
If you want a particular outcome, you need to stack the deck. Here in New Jersey, we see this all the time.
Consider the recent machinations undertaken by the Ridgewood Board of Education and district administrators to prevent open critics of inquiry-based instructional techniques from gaining representation on our Elementary Math Planning Team.
The same charade is taking place at the state level when it comes to determining New Jersey’s K-12 math proficiency standards (or was, at least, until the NJ Coalition for World Class Math Standards started piping up).
TRB Readers should be familiar with Dr. Reiter’s story, and should remember to treat the views and conclusions of the federal government with a healthy degree of skepticism, particularly when it comes to reasons for taking your money or regulating your life.

>The Ridgewood Concert Band
>Featured in CNN Money Magazine as outstanding alternative to traveling to New York City, the Ridgewood Concert Band, has distinguished itself as the preeminent Wind Symphony in the New York Metropolitan area.
was founded in 1983 to provide a serious performing outlet for many fine wind and percussion players living in and around Bergen County. The ensemble has developed into a nationally and internationally acclaimed community band. They have recorded Organic Band, a CD of music for organ and band. In 2003, the band released a CD of the music of Broadway composer, Michael Valenti.
In October 1997, the Ridgewood Concert Band was selected to receive the Sudler Silver Scroll Award, an international award for excellence, presented by the John Philip Sousa Foundation. In the summer of 1998, the Band completed their first international tour, performing in some of the top venues in Prague, Budapest, and Vienna. In June 2003, the band traveled to the south of France for an exchange concert with the famous La Croix Valmer Band of Saint Tropez, France. In the summer of 2008, the band performed an exhaustive two-week tour of China, playing to packed houses in Shanghai, Suzhou, Hangzhou, Xi’an, and Beijing just prior to the opening of the Olympics.
The Ridgewood Concert Band is comprised of serious musicians from all walks of life. Included in the membership over the years have been several former members of the New York Philharmonic, renowned composers and conductors, accomplished high school and college students, many of our areas most distinguished music educators, and graduates of our nations finest university and conservatory music programs. Soloists with the band have included Philip Smith, Joseph Alessi, Philip Myers, Warren Deck, and Joseph Robinson from the New York Philharmonic; Elaine Douvas, Michael Parloff, and Scott Brubaker from the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra; legendary tubist Harvey Phillips, and television personalities Charles Osgood, Gene Shalit, and Eugenia Zukerman. Guest conductors have included Keith Brion, Karel Husa, and Col. Bryan Shelburne.
Two years ago the Ridgewood Concert Band returned to its original home, Westside Presbyterian Church. The newly re-constructed church, a Ridgewood landmark, was totally destroyed in a major fire a few years ago. Featuring a beautiful setting with wonderful acoustics, Westside Presbyterian is a wonderful location to hear and see the band.
Regularly featuring new works combined with great classics the Ridgewood Concert Band provides a unique and exciting musical experience

>SPECIAL EDITION: NATIONAL ENERGY TAX
>
June 26, 2009
Friends,
I’m writing you in a special Garrett Gazette to raise your awareness about the national energy tax proposed by House Democrats that will likely be voted on in the House of Representatives today. This national energy tax is certain to raise electricity prices, increase gasoline prices, and ship American jobs overseas.
If you drive a car, buy food or a product manufactured in America, or flip on a light switch, you’ll pay more under the Democrats’ national energy tax. Here’s what the longest-serving Democrat in the House, Rep. John Dingell (D-MI), had to say about the tax: “Nobody in this country realizes that cap and trade is a tax. And it’s a great big one.”
The National Energy Tax Will Cause Electricity Bills to “Skyrocket”
The national energy tax will increase electricity bills for every American and small business. President Obama even admitted that it would cause electricity rates to “necessarily skyrocket.” And Duke Energy, a major utility company that would receive free allowances under the Democrats’ plan, has already requested a rate hike of 13.5 percent in anticipation of the energy tax.
The National Energy Tax Will Cause Gasoline and Diesel Prices to Spike Further
Gasoline prices have spiked in recent weeks, yet the national energy tax will make gasoline and diesel even more expensive for families and small businesses. The Heritage Foundation estimates that it will raise inflation-adjusted gasoline prices by 58 percent. Not only is that troubling to middle-class families trying to make ends meet, but small businesses – such as America’s truck drivers who are responsible for transporting food and other products across the country – are especially vulnerable during an economic recession. In fact, Tommy Hodges, First Vice Chairman of the American Trucking Association, recently warned that the House Democrats’ national energy tax on America’s truck drivers will leave America’s truck drivers, exposed to dramatic and sudden fuel price spikes.
The National Energy Tax Will Cost American Jobs, Shipping Them Overseas According to a study by the National Black Chamber of Commerce, the Democrats’ national energy tax will cost 2.3 to 2.7 million jobs each year, even after the creation of new so-called “green” jobs. It will impose tough new requirements and increased costs on American manufacturers – higher costs that they won’t face overseas, in places like China, India, or Mexico. This will cost American jobs in two ways: either domestic manufacturers will move overseas directly, or American companies in energy-intensive industries will be driven out of business by overseas rivals that undercut their prices. These job losses, and their ripple effects throughout our economy, were excluded from an incomplete analysis recently completed by the Congressional Budget Office. The Brookings Institute recently released a report that confirmed a national energy tax would reduce economic growth, increase costs, and kill jobs. The following chart shows the projected job loss in every single region, with especially large job losses in areas of the country already hit hard by the recession:
Additionally, the national energy tax could reverse our chances for economic recovery as we are trying to climb out of this recession. Mother Jones warned that if the national energy tax “is signed into law, it will generate, almost as an afterthought, a new market for carbon derivatives. That market will be vast, complicated, and dauntingly difficult to monitor. And if Washington doesn’t get the rules right, it will be vulnerable to speculation and manipulation by the very same players who brought us the financial meltdown.”
Instead of supporting a tax that will kill jobs and increases energy costs for Americans, I am a proud sponsor of The American Energy Act. This legislation establishes an ‘‘American Renewable and Alternative Energy Trust Fund” in the Treasury consisting of the receipts from oil and natural gas leasing provided by the bill. Amounts in the Trust Fund would be available to carry out research and development programs created by of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, and the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, including: oil shale, tar sands, other strategic unconventional fuels and clean coal. This legislation also expands an existing energy investment tax credit for renewable energy equipment to include clean coal equipment, and repeals section 526 of the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 which bans Federal agencies from procuring fuels derived from alternative energy such as liquid coal, tar sands, and oil shale. Repealing this provision will help spur a market for liquid coal fuels and foster technological innovation.
The American Energy Act also allows the Secretary of Interior to enter into long term coal-to-liquid fuel purchase contracts (for periods of five, ten, fifteen or twenty years) and to enter into standby loan agreements with up to six qualifying coal-to-liquid projects, helping to further generate a market for such technology. It makes permanent the tax credit for the production of electricity derived from Indian coal and refined coal and contains a regulatory reform component which amends the Clean Air Act by stating that the term “air pollutant” does not include carbon dioxide and certain other greenhouse gases and shall not be used to regulate climate change. The bill also prohibits any consideration of the impacts of greenhouse gases on any species of fish or wildlife or plant, ensuring that the Endangered Species Act shall not be used to regulate climate change. This section denies the Environmental Protection Agency the ability to regulate carbon emissions, which would negatively affect the competitiveness of coal-fired power plants.
Today’s vote on the national energy tax will have consequences for every American. It is a bad deal for America. And the American people will remember how their Members of Congress vote.
Sincerely,
Scott Garrett
Member of Congress
A Mano Offers Neapolitan Fare Steeped in Rich Italian Tradition
>
Old World Customs and Imported Ingredients Set A Mano Apart
(Ridgewood, NJ: June 25, 2009) A Mano (meaning by hand), a Neapolitan trattoria in Ridgewood serving authentic Italian dishes, is one of the forerunners in a pizza craze spreading across the country. This expanding movement in the pizza trade is the return to the traditional roots of pizza, roots that lie deep in the heart of Naples, Italy. A Mano is part of an elite group leading the pack in Neapolitan pizza and tradition, from cities such as Seattle, Los Angeles, and Chicago, to Phoenix, New York, Miami, and now Ridgewood NJ.
A Mano prides itself on authenticity, importing everything, from the furnishings to the ingredients, such as San Marzano tomatoes and Caputo flour, from Naples, Italy. In addition, A Mano is one of only three restaurants in the U.S. to receive prestigious certifications from both the Verace Pizza Napoletana and Associazone Pizzaiuoli Napoletani, the recognized authorities of Naples, Italy on traditional Neapolitan Pizza. “We do things differently at A Mano,” said owner Fred Mortati. “Pizza has been interpreted many different ways since becoming a popular dish in the U.S., but we create our pizza in the original, traditional Neapolitan style. From our ingredients imported from Naples, to our 1000 degree wood-burning ovens, which were built “A Mano,” on site by Neapolitan artisans using stones and volcanic soil from Italy, we stay true to the technique of the classic Pizzaiuolis (pizza chefs) and train each of our pizza chefs to create artisanal pizzas in this time-honored fashion,” he continued. “A Mano is Naples, Italy from the ground up and we invite all to come for a real Naples experience.”
The traditional Neapolitan pizzas at A Mano are baked in 1000 degree ovens and range from the conventional Marinara pie, made with tomatoes, oregano, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil ($9.99), to the elaborate Vesuvio, a stuffed pizza with ricotta, fresh mozzarella, and Neapolitan salami on the inside, and fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, Italian ham, mushrooms, extra virgin olive oil, and basil on the top ($19.99). A Mano’s menu boasts a vast array of mouth-watering pizza along with traditional Neapolitan entrées such as baked thin layers of eggplant and pecorino, delicate meat and vegetable lasagnas (starting at $12.99) and cool, refreshing, flavor-intense salads (starting at $7.99).
Among the specials, which vary daily, is the Mezzaluna pizza, or “half moon,” that starts as a full size, hand-stretched pie, which is half Margherita pizza (fresh mozzarella, fresh tomato sauce, Parmiggiano-Reggiano, extra virgin olive oil, and basil) strewn with Calamata olives. The other half is a calzone, oozing with a julienne of salami folded into creamy ricotta, mozzarella, and olive oil. Another special created for the A Mano summer menu is “Salad Pizza.” This dish combines any of the A Mano appetizer salads in an entree size, served atop Parmigiano Reggiano-flavored focaccia, baked daily on premises. At a $4.99 supplement to the regular salad price, this is a delicious way to enjoy a large portion of A Mano’s salads married with intensely flavored focaccia, providing a hearty, yet not overbearing meal option on warm summer days. Specials frequently incorporate A Mano’s outstanding fresh-made mozzarella, created each day on-premises by a Neapolitan-trained mozzarella puller, schooled in the art of creating perfectly-textured and flavored cheese.
A buy one get one free entrée and pizza summer special will be available to A Mano patrons through the summer months, Monday through Thursday.
The restaurant is open Monday to Thursday from 11:30 a.m. until 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday, from 12 p.m. until 10 p.m.
A Mano is located at 24 Franklin Avenue (at the corner of Chestnut Street), Ridgewood, NJ 07450. For more information, please call 201-493-2000 or visit www.amanopizza.com.
>Flogger : Marge Roukema would agree with these moderate Reublicans on the issue of global warming ..we dont think so
>”PJ, don’t be a scaredy-cat — post both sides if this will be a true debate —
Marge Roukema would agree with these moderate Reublicans on the issue of global warming:
Senator Olympia Snowe:
“With overwhelming scientific evidence that global warming is adversely impacting the health of our planet, the time has come for the Congress to take action.”
Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger:
“We simply must do everything we can in our power to slow down global warming before it is too late. The science is clear. The global warming debate is over.”
Senator John McCain:
“Our nation has both an obligation and self-interest in facing head-on the serious environmental, economic and national security threat posed by global warming.”
The only people denying global warming are the same reactionary conservatives who want to teach creationism instead of evolution in our science classes. “

Trying to turn a scientific issue into partisan politics is simply admitting your ulterior motives which have nothing to do with saving the earth ,the evidence does not support the argument at all !
