MAYOR BLOOMBERG AND CHANCELLOR GOLDSTEIN UNVEIL TAILOR-MADE ...
Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Chancellor Matthew Goldstein today announced the launch of the Center for Economic Opportunity's (CEO) first initiative aimed at improving the education and career prospects of working New Yorkers - the Accelerated Study in Associate Program. This is another one of the Center on Economic Opportunity's recommendations as outlined in the State of the City address, which will focus on the needs of the working poor of New York City. This initiative will help CUNY's community college students to step forward to earn higher degrees - and then, higher incomes. The program, which will also be known as ASAP, will allow CUNY community college students to attend all of their classes at the same time of day or on weekends to accommodate their work schedules. .
Luxury Home Prices Tumble in New York's Long Island, Queens
April 18 (Bloomberg) -- Luxury home prices slid in New York's Long Island and Queens in the first quarter as more property came onto the market and took longer to sell, appraiser Miller Samuel Inc. and broker Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate said. The median sales price fell 5.3 percent to $900,000 from a year earlier and houses took 25 percent more time to lure a buyer, the companies said today in a report. An oversupply of expensive houses for sale is reducing demand, Jonathan Miller, president of New York-based Miller Samuel, said in an interview. ``You're just not seeing the demand level that you had been seeing in prior years,'' Miller said. ``You just reached a saturation point to what the economy could support.'' The decline in the luxury market in these areas outside Manhattan mirrors a drop in prices across the U.S.

California Inventors Develop Conductive Layers Depositing Method
ALEXANDRIA, Va., April 19 -- Bulent M. Basol of Manhattan Beach, Calif., and Homayoun Talieh of San Jose, Calif., have developed a method for forming a conductive film with uniform properties on a wafer surface that has features or cavities. According to the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "During the process, the workpiece is rotated and laterally moved while an electrodeposition solution is delivered onto the wafer surface at a predetermined flow rate, and a potential difference is applied between the workpiece surface and the electrode." An abstract of the invention, released by the Patent Office, said: "The workpiece is rotated about an axis at predetermined revolutions per minute so that an edge region of the workpiece has a first predetermined linear velocity due to the rotation.
