Southern Connecticut BOMA's first annual fishing tournament held on September 4th was a great success. Seven boats were charted by member companies, and over 30 fishermen took place in the tournament. The boats left Stamford Harbor Park Marina at noon for the open waters of Long Island Sound, and fished until 4 p.m. when they returned for the weigh in. Catching the largest fish at 7 lbs. 9 ozs. was Rick Andrews of Louis Dreyfus. He was on Bruce Moore, Sr. of Eastern Land Management's team on the Flying Connie II. The boat that caught the most bluefish was the Judith Lynn II, sponsored by Culbertson Company of New York. The Culbertson team caught 15 bluefish. They also had the smallest bluefish at 1 lb. 6 ozs. A clam bake followed a great day on the water for all the fishermen, the captains and other members of the Association. Thanks to the other boat sponsors: Albert B. Ashforth, Inc., Tri-State High Rise Services, Otis Elevator, The H.B. Nitkin Company, and SecurAmerica. Thanks to Paul Senecal of United Services of America for the use of his boat, the Katrina II, to capture some pictures of the fishermen as they reeled in their catch.

Macroeconomics 301:
Estimating Intertemporal Elasticity of Substitution
Not actually. But, if you are interested in, confused by, or concerned about the U.S.' position in the new global economy, this program is for you. There is a great deal of economic anxiety today and our national economic fate is increasingly dependent on economic forces we either don't entirely understand, don't entirely control, or both. Can the price of oil paid to middle-eastern oil producers affect your mortgage interest rate? Can China influence U.S. inflation more than our own Federal Reserve Bank? How much longer will the U.S. dollar remain the world's benchmark currency? Does it matter? Based on the U.S.' relative position in the global economy, what are the vulnerabilities our country and our economy face, and what are the opportunities?
This is a very unique BOMA program intended to provide some much needed economic perspective and we are extremely fortunate to have Peter Muoio, Ph.D., senior principal of Maximus Advisors to address these and other issues with our BOMA association.
