Residents on Trowlock Island, in Teddington, in dispute over future of overgrown towpath
7:00am Sunday 19th August 2012 in News By Paul Teed
A sleepy Thames islet is battling Richmond Council over plans to open up an overgrown towpath.
Those living on Trowlock Island are worried drug dealers would return to the hidden riverside spot, having been arguing about its future for nearly a decade.
The spot is a slipway next to the Royal Canoe Club, where Olympians Tim Brabants and Jessica Walker trained, and Richmond Council threatened action against the owners of cars and vans that have blocked access, preventing it from cutting back the vegetation and tidying the towpath, which runs behind Teddington School.
A spokesman for Richmond Council said: "Due to people blocking the access to the towpath with vehicles and other items, we have temporarily closed the path until we resolve the matter. We aim to have the towpath open as soon as possible."
Helen Harris, chairman of Trowlock Island limited, residents' management group, has lived there for 12 years and said families of the island's 29 homes used to be responsible for the towpath.
She said: "It's a real problem the towpath, we were so glad that we don't look after it anymore because fishermen go there, it's so close to the houses on the backwater and you had lowlife and drug dealers down there.
"It would be awful if it opened up again."
Roger Mathias, another islander and father of Conservative councillor Tania Mathias, said most of the households on the backwater were against the towpath.
But Robin Monk, whose 90-year-old mother Anne has lived on the island for nearly 50 years, said it should be a public right of way so people could sit by the river and feed the ducks.
He said his mother had not been able to afford an increase in service charges when Trowlock Island limited looked after the land.
He added: "At no time have the council ever put on Broom Road or Trowlock Way any notification to the public that there was a riverside walkway or a slipway for use by the public. If people don't know then how can they use it?
"It seems like the council is pandering for some unknown reason to the people on the island."
The council was unable to confirm when it would re-open the towpath.

UBC KegMaster Commercial Grade Kegerator - Full Size Reviews
|Average Customer Rating:
|(based on 9 reviews)
|Darrell (06-05-2013)
Richmond, KY
|Had mine for two years now. I use it every day. I'm ordering a three tap tower for it. It will hold four 1/6 barrel kegs or plenty of room for one full size keg. Quality built unit and keeps beer very cold. Top quality casters makes moving it easy. Compressor is a little on the loud side because of the heavy duty motor but not an issue with me. I recommend spending a little more for this quality unit.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|A satisfied first time buy!
|chuck (06-06-2012)
|I had this kegerator for a few years, then sold it when I quit drinking. Pretty reliable. I started drinking again and will probably get another one soon. One key piece of info to keep beer cold: on the back of the unit where the cooling fan is located is the differential(looks like a small auto radiator). After awhile dust builds up in the vanes which the fan can't blow out. You need to remove the outside housing grate (simple: 2 minutes), remove the fan(1 screw) and blow the dust out(CO2 tank does this perfectly). You only need to do this every so often(for me it was about every 4-5 kegs). If the dust isn't removed, the unit can't displace the heat inside and your beer won't chill below 40 degrees.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Solid system
|noneckjo (10-12-2011)
Morgan Hill, CA
|We set this up in our garage. Its on the louder side, but nothing alarming. This is definitely a heavy duty system compared to other conversion fridges some friends have. I have no doubts I made a great choice. We are going on a month, 3 kegs, and beer is always chilled and room a plenty for up to 4 ponies. Some things I don't see listed in description of this unit I was happy to see, the manual states for outside or inside use and there is a plug for relocation of the tank if you want it outside fridge. Might be on higher price end, but what I see people do to their cheaper taps ends up costing the same in some ways.
Great Kegerator.
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|Worth the money!!!
|darrellbice (09-20-2011)
Richland WA
Very solid built with high quality casters. This is a heavy unit with quality that you can see and feel. No cheap plastic junk anywhere on it.
I like my beer cold so worried about it not cooling enough, NO PROBLEM I had to turn it down to keep it at the right temp.
All stainless top and inside. I love the stainless being inside so you don't worry about scratching the inside.
It's hard to mention every thing I really like about it, just spend the extra money you won't regret it.
It is noisey because of the big quality compressor, no problem for me, I have it in the game room. Would not want to put it in the living room though.
Would be nice if it came with a bracket to mount the co2 bottle to the back of unit.
I used units costing 400-800 bucks but this one is sooooo much better. It is worth the extra money!!!!!
|Bottom Line:
|I would recommend this product.
|this unit is absolutely the best !!!!

|This kegarator works awesome the codest freaking perfect beer you can possibly poor at home! The instructions were right on, the sales people walked me through it like we were family. If your gonna buy a kegarator this is the one! !!!!!!

The following is an announcement from Lynnfield's Boy Scout Troop 48:
Eight Boy Scouts and 4 adults from Lynnfield Boy Scout Troop 48 left on Sunday, July 29, for the Scouting adventure of a lifetime. The crew of 12 is headed to Philmont Scout Ranch in Cimarron, New Mexico, and will visit sites in Denver and Colorado Springs, Colorado, en route.
The crew of teenage Scouts and their leaders will spend 11 days backpacking over 70 miles through the Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout Ranch. Philmont covers 214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails that climb from 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441 feet.
The group of Scouts and their advisors will carry everything they need to survive during the trek on their backs while hiking from camp to camp. They will participate in backcountry programs along the way including rock climbing, fly fishing and black powder rifle. The trek will include a conservation project where the Scouts will learn and participate in the upkeep of Philmont's ecosystem. Along the trek, the Scouts will endure tough challenges including backpacking in bear and mountain lion territory, steep climbs, and often-inclement weather. Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America's premier high adventure base and the largest youth camp in the world serving nearly one million participants since 1938.
Planning for the trip started over a year ago when Troop 48 won a coveted spot in the annual Philmont crew lottery and the Scouts have prepared for the rigors of the trail with backpacking trips in New Hampshire this spring and summer. Look for a full trip report after the Scouts return to Lynnfield on August 13.
The group of Scouts is led by Crew Leader Dan Braconnier, a Lynnfield High School senior, and includes Harry Fogarty, Ethan Forrest, Sam Forrest, Andrew Hall, Nick Miller, Zack Morelli and Andrew Robins. The adult Crew Advisors are Gordon Forrest, Mark Braconnier, Jon Hall and Bob Miller.
Boy Scout Troop 48 is chartered to the Centre Congregational Church in Lynnfield and has been serving the local community for 58 years. For more information, stop by one of our meetings on Monday evenings at the Centre Congregational Church starting September 10th, or call Scoutmaster Gordon Forrest at 781-342-5027.

HOUSTON – A gun discharged and injured a woman after a man accidentally dropped it Thursday inside a northeast Houston restaurant, police said.
The Derringer fell out of the coat pocket of a 66-year-old man at about 8:30 p.m. inside Raffa's Waterfront Grill on West Lake Houston Parkway, police said.
The 71-year-old woman was shot in the rear end and transported to Ben Taub Hospital in stable condition.
Police said the man was licensed to carry a concealed handgun and no charges are expected to be filed at this time.
The case, however, will be considered by a grand jury.

Sea turtle tagged by Mote to be released in Dry Tortugas
Date: November 9, 2009
by: Robin Hartill | Community Editor
A loggerhead sea turtle tagged by Mote Marine Laboratory will be released Tuesday in the Dry Tortugas, in the Florida Keys, after being bitten by a shark.
Mote officials tagged Wham, an adult female turtle, with a satellite transmitter when she nested on Casey Key. She migrated south, an according to the satellite transmitter, stopped near Cuba. Eventually, she drifted back to the Dry Tortugas National Park, where park staff found evidence of a recent shark bite.
Wham was missing most of her right front flipper and part of her left front flipper. Park staff took Wham to The Turtle Hospital, in Marathon, where she had surgery and stitches to remove the remains of her right flipper and received antibiotics, fluids and a healthy diet.
"We'll keep a close eye of Wham after she's released," said Tony Tucker, manager of Mote's Sea Turtle Conservation and Research Program, in a prepared statement. "Satellite tags are revealing the secret lives of turtles during three separate phases: within the nesting season, during their migrations and at the feeding grounds. These daily diaries can often give special insight on the natural and human influences they face in the wild. In Wham's case, the tracking map at www.seaturtle.org enables the public to follow her return to the wild after a successful recovery at The Turtle Hospital."

I know it's a long shot since there werent that many of these guns made, but it's worth a try...
I'm looking for one of the anodized green Smith & Wesson M&P Performance Center AR's that Cabelas sold a few years ago. I passed up on the chance to buy one new at Cablelas when they first were released, and have kicked myself ever since for passing on it...I absolutely love the looks and feel of this rifle and have to have one ;). I tried to get a used one from their gun library in another state right as things went crazy in the AR world last year, but it was sold before the store returned my call. So now Im here begging to find one...anybody?
I'm located in SE Mi, but travel often to the Gladwin/Midland area and Im willing to travel to pick one of these up.

Roasting at home isn't difficult, and you can even do it with just your stove or an popcorn popper. But if you're serious about roasting your own beans, you might think about getting a proper roaster. There are machines for the novice as well as the more experienced coffee roaster. (prices listed are approximate).
1. FreshRoast Plus 8
A good place to start for the novice coffee roaster. The roasting chamber holds 3.5 oz of green beans, so you can only roast enough for a 10-cup pot of coffee. The small chamber means faster roasting times. You'll have your roasted coffee in about 10 minutes. Of course, the quick roast time means you'll have to watch more carefully to get the precise roast you want. Price: $70
2. Nesco Professional Home Coffee Roaster
I think the best feature of the Nesco roaster is the catalytic system the eliminates most of the smoke you normally get with coffee roasting. It takes a little longer to roast with this machine (30 minutes) but that allows you to fine-tune your roasting. The glass roasting chamber has a 4oz bean capacity. Price: $150
3. HotTop Drum Roaster
The machine for the serious roaster. You can roast 9oz of beans at a time. This model is also a drum roaster, but has a viewing window so you can watch the roasting progress. The electronic controls allow for 7 roasting levels. You can roast up a big batch of coffee in about 20 minutes with the HotTop. Price: $580
4. i-Roast 2
Another small unit that's great for the average home coffee drinker. The canister holds 1/2 to 1 cup of green beans, and allows very precise roasting time and temperature controls so you can get the exact roast you want. $199

Along with drum n bass and backpacks (word to firstname.lastname@example.com), fractals are totally back. DJ Kingdom's new mixtape, succinctly titled Volume 2, combines all three, and pops it off with the BKLYN wee-chick fight track "You Don't Know Michelle" by OMG MICHELLE, produced by (OMG) KINGDOM! Other indulgences: Telepathe's "Chromes on It," Remix (complete with Ace of Bass style talking dude vocals at the end) and a Scottie B remix that Bmore-izes "Pump Up the Jam," and tops it with a feathery vocal performance from Maggie Horn. You can cop that for $9.99 on Kingdom's MySpace, or NYers can get it free at the release joint this Saturday at Monkeytown in "North Brooklyn." Check Kingdom's remix of Telepathe's "Chrome's On It" out below when you download it.

Preparing for Natural Disaster
Leadership, strategic planning, and rehearsal are critical when child welfare agencies prepare for hurricanes or other natural disasters.
By Robert F. Tywoniak
Planning for a devastating storm or other natural disaster is only one piece in the work of child welfare workers. Crisis is our business--not our crises but clients' crises. A major hurricane or other natural disaster is yet another crisis that could come our way as we do our business.
In 1992, when Hurricane Andrew hit South Dade County, Florida, I was working as the CEO of the Child Welfare Division of Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Miami. Years before Andrew ever hit South Dade County, our agency had developed a hurricane plan--the government entity overseeing the child welfare at the time left it to agencies to develop their own plans.
Not only did our agency save up to 400 lives in one day in August 1992, we were able to keep all employees on the payroll, place and track all the children outside the agency and county where the devastation occurred, and come back online after rebuilding with an even stronger, more comprehensive program than before. Good leadership, strategic planning, rehearsal, and doing it all together were the reasons we successfully weathered the storm.
The process, not the final storm plan on paper, is what counts. Working together through all the steps of strategic planning, and rehearsing the plan together, makes the difference. The work my team did during the years before Hurricane Andrew paid off. When the storm hit, the staff already knew
what a storm is and what it can do;
how to address a storm's many challenges;
the contingencies to use when coping with the challenges;
that expectations may turn out wrong during the actual event;
how each person on the staff thinks and acts, especially under pressure;
who within and outside the agency can be counted on;
that leadership is a chain of command and that you might have to be in command when others are incapacitated; and
in Catholic Charities' case, knowledge of a good God who will give you peace of mind to get through it all.
Leadership and Strategic Planning
The leader of an agency must be the one willing to take responsibility, while empowering others to do their jobs. He or she must be able to delegate and take command as appropriate and determine when either is needed.
The staff's safety and that of their families comes first. Part of the agency plan must include each staff member's own personal plan for his or her own family. Staff can't perform if they don't know their families are safe.
True strategic planning must take place and involve everyone in the organization in some way and at some point. Once the cycle of planning is complete, it begins again and is ongoing.
Securing records and material should be included in the strategic plan, including the security and physical protection of all records, documents, agency history, electronic and paper files, equipment, tools and materials the agency uses in the care and therapy of the clients, clients' possessions, and anything else that can fly, float away, or get wet. Back up all records, physically and electronically, keeping one set on site at the agency, and another set in a safe location elsewhere.
The children in your care must know their things are safe and will be available later, but they must also be prepared for the possibility of total loss. Such preparations might be a usual course of treatment at the beginning of storm season. Have clinical staff develop this part of the plan.
The Evacuation Plan
Even if your agency is not located in an evacuation zone, find an alternate location that could serve as a shelter if you need one. In most areas of the country, institutions must find their own shelter for a storm. Institutions aren't welcome at public shelters.
A mini version of everything that makes your program work needs to go with your children and staff in case of an evacuation, including a portable set of client records and medications. Also, bring enough clothing, outdoor camping bedding, toiletries, towels, and hospital-type bathing materials, such as sponges. Children should be allowed to take a toy and stuffed animal. Staff should bring portable games to keep the children occupied for long periods.
Your designated shelter should have enough food and water to last two to three weeks. Make sure you have what you need to purify water--this can be done using bleach at the rate of eight drops per gallon of water. All food must be edible without cooking, and be sure to have food on hand for those with allergies.
Post-storm plans are important too, including possible replacement of program participants. Get to know and develop contacts at public and private agencies that are nearby but outside possible storm strike zones and who would be willing to help you. State agencies will also have to be notified and involved in your long-term strategies.
Teaming Up
Staff assignments need to be developed as a part of the storm preparation plan. People should be clear about their roles and duties and when they should perform them. Consider having three teams: a prestorm team, a storm team, and a post-storm team. Rehearse their functions before storm season each year, and assess outcomes. This is meant literally--practice right down to moving everything.
When a hurricane watch goes into effect, the agency leader communicates the emergency and the pre-storm team begins its job. This team makes all the preparations, including moving all the prepared provisions into the prearranged place of shelter. That shelter might be right where the agency is located or at another location outside the evacuation zone.
The executive or program director in charge must stay in touch with the leaders of the pre- and post-storm teams. The executive is the de facto leader of the storm team; at the same time, however, he or she must get some rest.
While the prestorm team is preparing the agency for the emergency, the agency must continue serving the children as usual, and the other two teams are preparing their personal property and families for the storm.
When the storm warning goes into effect, the actual storm team relieves the prestorm team. The storm team will stay sheltered with the children throughout the storm and thereafter until help arrives and relocation takes place. Carefully select this team. Each member must be ready to endure all the challenges of care under the most difficult circumstances. These people might be those who have no family to be concerned with. If they do, they must be confident in their own family plan. They should even be permitted to bring family members with them if necessary.
The storm team may be larger than a normal shift would be. Members will have to take turns resting and performing various tasks. The storm team should include line staff, such as house parents; administrative staff; and clinical staff. Again, think of this as a mini version of the agency going on the road, even if you are staying in place. The agency CEO would ordinarily be the leader of this team.
The leader of the agency should brief the children and staff together before moving the children or getting them settled down if remaining onsite. The agency leader should explain the impending storm situation to the children and what the experience may be like. All the logistics and seriousness of the matter must be firmly explained. They must be assured everything is being done to protect them and that they must follow all instructions. The agency leader takes charge of this process and establishes authority. From that point on, the chain of command must be clear.
Once the children and staff have been briefed, then move into the shelter. Be sure your plans include contingencies in case the storm compromises the safety of the shelter. Activities for the children will keep them occupied as the storm makes its final approach.
During the height of the storm, everyone might be huddled together. Singing songs together, gently talking to the children, or telling stories can be calming. Having a radio tuned to local broadcasts is helpful to know what is going on. In Florida, the broadcasters are trained to be honest yet calming. Knowing what is going on helps everyone to keep in control of the situation. This can be reassuring, if not life saving.
Immediately After the Storm
Once the storm passes, the leader of the shelter facility and the leader of the children's agency should assess the physical and emotional well-being of everyone and everything. With the storm team, they will make adjustments in living space and how services will be delivered. They will communicate with the outside, including the post-storm team, and assess transportation conditions. Note that local authorities might not want anyone traveling on the streets until further notice--stay tuned to that radio.
You may receive a visit from a coroner. Yes, he or she needs a head count and should be made aware of your agency's plan in advance. Know too that telephones might not work because cell towers and phone lines are down; a ham radio might be good to have on hand.
At this point, the post-storm team should go into action. Someone needs to scout the home facility and assess whether the children and staff can return. Everyone may have to stay at the shelter instead. The scout must communicate with the storm team, and decisions must be made about whether to return. During geographically large storms, no relocation might be possible for some time after the storm. Be prepared to survive for one or two weeks.
During Hurricane Andrew, we had taken shelter at a nursing home facility, which sustained some damage during the storm. Immediately after the storm, our post-storm team was unable to reach us, so a member of my storm team and I left the shelter to inspect our agency facility, which turned out to be uninhabitable. After waiting more than 24 hours, community partners we had established outside the storm strike zone arrived with transportation to take our program participants and staff from the nursing home to another shelter that was not damaged.
With the help of the community partners, storm team staff, and a few post-storm team members, all the children who had been staying in our residential facility were placed in foster homes outside the storm strike zone. The storm team remained on duty until all the children were placed. We made arrangements to continue monitoring the children in the new placements. All portable records and medications followed the children.
Rebuilding and Recovery
Be ready for a few things during the first day or two after the storm--first, the needs of your staff. If they are not cared for and supported, they won't be able to care for the children. Be sure they are bathed and fed before the children. This might sound inappropriate, but staff will step up and care for others when they too feel safe and cared for. Agency leaders must make sure their own needs are taken care of as well so they can have the energy to perform their duties.
Second, be ready for mutiny. Yes, mutiny. We are all human beings with needs and emotions. Even the best of staff will be overwhelmed by emotions and concerns. They will want answers to their questions, and the leader must be ready to process all of that. Admitting one's own concerns and fears is helpful, yet working with staff and displaying leadership to develop a new plan on the spot will help rebuild unity and loyalty. The children may be involved in this in some way too. The leader's ability to speak with inspiration is helpful as the process begins.
Third, accept help from others, including your community partners. Partners should be able to listen to you and help you plan for your staff and clients. They should be trusted to relieve you at some point, if necessary. Remember, the leader and staff still need to get back home and assess their own personal situations.
Finally, your storm plan should include a contingency for gathering staff together afterward. Days later, getting back together to support one another and to begin planning anew are important. In my case, it was an opportunity to push ahead with plans that had been considered for years.
With good leadership, strategic planning, rehearsal, and doing it all together, things may actually turn out better after the storm for your agency as well.

Bay City News Service
A Vallejo man who was seriously injured during a police arrest at his apartment five years ago has received a $4.15 million settlement from the city, his lawyers announced today.
Vallejo's settlement with Macario Dagdagan ends a federal civil rights lawsuit in which Dagdagan claimed two officers illegally entered his apartment without a warrant and used excessive force in arresting him while investigating a complaint of an assault on his girlfriend.
Dagdagan suffered dislodged vertebrae, a ruptured disk and a broken neck -- injuries that resulted in permanent spinal damage, according to one of his attorneys, Todd Boley.
The injuries apparently occurred after the two officers shot Dagdagan twice with a stun gun and handcuffed him, and were trying to restrain him from getting up from a chair, Boley said.
Dagdagan was initially paralyzed by the broken neck, but after emergency surgery he eventually recovered the ability to walk, although with a limp, the attorney said. Boley said Dagdagan, a Vietnam veteran, remains in constant pain and has been unable to resume work as a machinist.
Peter Alfert, another attorney for Dagdagan, said, "The police had no justification for going into the apartment, for arresting Macario, and certainly no reason to break his neck. "Through this settlement, he wants to send a clear message that all of us must not tolerate police misconduct and we will hold police accountable," Alfert said.
Dagdagan received the $4.15 million settlement check last week and the case was dismissed in federal court in Sacramento on Tuesday, Boley said. The settlement will be paid by the city's insurance.
The city did not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement.
Lawyers for Vallejo were not immediately available for comment today.
In court filings, lawyers for the city agreed that Dagdagan was shot with a Taser stun gun and handcuffed, and was taken away in an ambulance, but argued that the officers used only the force necessary to subdue him and were justified in entering his home.
They said the officers entered the apartment without a warrant because there were signs of a possible burglary in progress, including a door left open, a stove left on, rice scattered on the floor and no response when they yelled into the apartment.
The officers found Dagdagan lying in his bed, showing "signs of alcohol intoxication," the attorneys said in court papers.
In a key ruling in the case, a federal appeals court in San Francisco last year turned down the city's bid to dismiss the lawsuit.
The appeals court, upholding a similar ruling by U.S. District Judge Garland Burrell of Sacramento, said that under the facts alleged in the lawsuit, the officers should have obtained a warrant because there was no emergency situation.
The appeals court said that, according to the lawsuit, the officers had already interviewed the alleged victim at her home before coming to Dagdagan's apartment, and knew that she was safe at her home.
The court said, "No emergency or exigency justified the officers' flagrant invasions of clearly established constitutional rights."
Boley said Dagdagan was charged with assault on his girlfriend, but the charge was later dropped by Solano County prosecutors.
The attorney said the two officers, John Boyd and Jason Wentz, now work for the Richmond Police Department.

Emmaus businessman Wesley Barrett, 32, has formally announced his bid for Lehigh County Commissioner, District 5.
Barrett, a Democrat, is an Emmaus Borough Councilman and also owns and operates the Emmaus-based Wesley Works businesses: Wesley Works Real Estate, Wesley Works Photography Studio and Wesley Works Entertainment.
He is an Emmaus High School graduate ('99) and a graduate of Quinnipiac University in Connecticut.
Barrett was first elected to Emmaus Borough Council in 2005 at the age of 25. During his tenure on the council, Barrett has served on nine separate working committees, according to a prepared statement announcing his candidacy.
He lists among his major accomplishments: his role in improving public safety by getting more police officers on the street; spearheading "first-in-the-Valley" constituent outreach efforts by airing council meetings on television and via webcasts, and greatly boosting the community and recreational offerings around town through grant funding. He also says he helped bring 11 thriving businesses to the Emmaus downtown, directly or indirectly.
A lifelong resident of the Lehigh Valley, Barrett lives in Emmaus, where he and his wife, Sarah, are now raising their two sons. He announced his candidacy for commissioner on the steps of the Wesley Works Building in Emmaus on Wednesday.
Constituents might have learned of Barrett's candidacy earlier this month when it was mentioned by fellow Democrat Tom Muller when Muller announced his bid for Lehigh County Executive.
District 5 includes Emmaus, Center Valley, Macungie, Upper and Lower Milford and Coopersburg, as well as parts of Allentown and Salisbury.

As we look ahead to November's elections, Pearl River Patch is devoted to bringing you the information you need about every race, issue and candidate in town.
Here are five that residents are already talking about:
State Sen. David Carlucci (D-Rockland) is running for a second term in the 38th State Senate District. The district was redrawn earlier this year and will include the Towns of Ramapo, Clarkstown, and Orangetown in Rockland County, as well as the Town of Ossining in Westchester County. Former Ossining trustee Janis A. Castaldi is the Republican nominee to run against Carlucci.
Rep. Nita Lowey (D-Rockland/Westchester) is seeking re-election on the heels of her 19 years in the U.S. House of Representatives. In the past two years, Lowey has served the 18th district, a swath that come November. If elected, Lowey would then pick up Mt. Kisco and all of Rockland County, and overall see the newly-crafted 17th shift further north. Rye Town Supervisor Joe Carvin was endorsed to run against Lowey Tuesday by Rockland County Legislator and Minority Leader Frank Sparaco.
Incumbent U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand will face off against the GOP pick. The GOP primary is June 26; Bob Turner, the public servant who grabbed Anthony Wiener's seat and then had it redistricted out from under him, is already running against Gillibrand. Also on the GOP ballot are Wendy Long, George Maragos. Colila Clark of the Green Party is running, as well.Redistricting is also affecting

Residents can rest easy: 'Tysons last forest and stream' is saved.
At a Tuesday meeting, Fairfax County officials killed a controversial option for a ramp from the Dulles Toll Road into Tysons that would have paved right through the Old Courthouse Spring Branch Park.
For months, area residents have been in uproar over the ramp proposal, part of the county Department of Transportation's efforts to identify future access points to a newly redeveloped Tysons, would have connected the Toll Road to an extended Boone Boulevard.
But more than 600 community members signed a petition opposing the option, demanding that the county preserve the green space in what will be the county's walkable, urban downtown. The Board of Supervisors also formally opposed the option in October.
During a Tuesday meeting of the Board of Supervisors' Transportation Committee, officials told supervisors the ramp option – one of four on the table – could be nixed because it would be too expensive and the environmental costs too great.
"[This ramp option] has the most impact and is the most costly to the county, and you see that we can at this time eliminate [it] from further study," Seyed Nabavi, a representative from the department of transportation, said.
The proposed ramp through the park was projected to cost $44 million. The remaining options – proposed to go behind the Sheraton Hotel – range in cost from $22 million to $39 million and have lower impacts on the environment, Nabavi said.
After the meeting, Pam Kondé, president of the Save Tysons Last Forest coalition, said she and the neighbors who mobilized to save the area are excited their efforts have worked.
"We're pretty psyched," she said. "Now we'll be able to continue to protect, restore and preserve a fantastic local resource in Tysons Corner."
Kondé also commended supervisors for doing the right thing, including Board Chairman Sharon Bulova.
"She has been an outstanding leader," Kondé said. "She has understood what the county's vision was in implementing a 'green' Tysons."
Randy Atkins, a member of the coalition, was pleased the issue was finally resolved.
"It shouldn't have taken this much convincing but, in the end, thanks to a coalition of civic-minded neighbors and good local representatives, the right thing was done," he said in e-mail after the meeting. "Now we have to make sure we protect this parkland area into the future."

A penile treat for you today, PT readers. A post from a special guest about a special variety of penis. True story: I still haven't seen one in the wild.
- – -
I've seen some penises in my life. Not an exorbitant amount, but enough to feel like I have a good gauge (heh) on the male species. You could say that I've experienced a rather large (and sometimes small) sampling. I can thank my college days, bartending days and hell, just plain' ol slutty days for those.
But there was a time, when familiarity was not my strong point. And while my moves had been practiced, my experience was left to only one man. A post relationship breakup in junior year of college led me down that long, veiny road of adventures. It was here that I had my many firsts with male appendages.
It was almost 5 years ago to this day. September, 2007. I know this because it was just a few weeks after the Big Break-up… and because I was wearing new boots, but that's not the point. Despite my cardinal rule of abstaining from guys at my school, I found myself lusting after an eclectic sophomore. Naturally, he resembled the ex, but was more fun and only marginally mysterious.
I was still learning how to flirt, a skill forgotten in the three years I spent as a girlfriend and was fairly awkward of how to go about moving from party mode to sexual mode. An easy transition for me now, but new to me at the time.
I stood on the porch of his apartment. I was trying to quell the growing vomit feeling that was lingering in the depths of my throat. He was sitting and watching me. As I leaned over the balcony, half hoping I would throw up and half hoping I wouldn't. As I said, I didn't know how to move from one stage to the next. Not without being overtly sexual at least. I was prepared to go all Adam & Eve on him.
But let's not make a long story longer: I was excited for my first post break-up penis sighting. I wanted to know if they were similar, if they reacted the same. It was a life experiment.
I arrived to find that they were quite similar. I mean, it's a penis!
But what makes this story special? Well. A week or so later, I hung out with a mutual friend, who knew about the hookup. He asked me how I liked his one-eyed monster. Strange question. He clarified, "you know, it may not be something you're used to." I cocked my head.
"He's uncircumsized…"
I think that's something I would have noticed. I always thought it was something I would. I mean, there were no ant eaters present that night. My friend insisted. Then followed up with, "I thought you would have noticed."
And that's the day I learned that circumsized penises are actually just like normal penises.
They're just a little sneakier.
Holy fucking hell. Thanks to this penis-y news article, I was forced to research "penile degloving."
What's penis degloving, you ask? Oh, you could ask Google.
But, just… don't. That is, if you ever want to look at a penis
as a sexy wilderbeast the same way again.
Let's just say that I will never cook a hot dog or sausage so hot as to split the casing.
Hate blow jobs? Well, there might be a reason to enjoy your yearly offering of head for a little longer. That is, if you're pregnant. Because WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU ENJOY A BLOW JOB?!
But scientists warn:
… not just any sperm, it should be the sperm of the person who got you pregnant.
But honey… SEE?! IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER!
Did you hear something? I don't have my pregnancy ears on.
{Study: Oral Sex Cures Morning Sickness via CBS Local Washington}
It can also cure depression. It, being the semen. That you take orally.
And… la pipe? Wee Wee.
Researchers and scientists at the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium are part of a team that has collected specimens from 15 African bull elephants to inseminate female elephants. In the meantime, these elephant sperm-sicles were frozen and "taken to where the females are." Prior to this, successful artificial insemination of African elephants had only been done using fresh semen. Collection and (successful) insemination is done is to introduce new bloodlines into the elephant population in captivity… and to have on hand when elephants like the Pittsburgh Zoo's Jackson (the elephant, not the scientist) is "not in the mood."

Takeaway from this article (besides the animal kingdom being awesome)? Elephant gestation last 22 months. MONTHS! Uh, I guess that's rather awesome too…

MadWorld could boost Wii sales
While the Wii goes after that illusive non-hardcore audience, violent Sega release MadWorld could do the opposite and lure traditional gamers to the platform - that's what PlatinumGames' Atsushi Inaba reckons.
Speaking to Kikizo, Inaba-san said: "We've had positive feedback online from users who've said that this is a must-buy, that it's a reason to buy a Wii."
He continued: "The main reason is we wanted to create a new title for the Wii specifically, and if we developed for other platforms, we wouldn't be able to develop a new title, new ideas. We wanted to make something that was easy to pick up and play."
The game is out now in the USA, and will hit Europe on March 20th. We'll have a review soon.

---- — A Volant man was hurt and his wife died after their car ran off Sharon Road and into a ditch near Hewitt Road in Shenango Township.
Frank E. and Shirley Telesz, both 79, were traveling south on U.S. Route 18 when their car crossed over the left lane and ended up 100 feet off the road, police said.
Telesz, who was driving, was out of the car and disoriented when Southwest Mercer County Regional police arrived on the scene. Shenango Township volunteer firefighters removed Mrs. Telesz from the damaged car.
Police said the couple likely had been wearing seatbelts because the windshield was not broken.
Both were taken by ambulance to UPMC Horizon, Farrell, complaining of chest related injuries, police said Mercer County 911 dispatch said both were flown to UPMC Presbyterian in Pittsburgh.
A representative of the Pittsburgh Medical Examiner's Office told police that Mrs. Telesz had died early Wednesday from the chest injuries caused by the accident, police said.

Nice to see another young Buick fan, however the prices you mention seem very high. $52,000 for an Enclave. I have never seen one over $45K and it was pretty well loaded and I rarely see a Lucerne for much over $42K I live in the Mid-West but I assume MSRP is the same from coast to coast.
It really saddens me to see the current condition of GM. With talk of bankruptcy looming I am left wondering where I will buy my next car. It would be a shame if Buick ceases to exist. Like you, I will never own a Japanese car, I find them far too boring and wonder how they are possibly so popular??

"Bend over," said the nurse as she lined up the needle with my gluteus maximus.
Trying not to focus on the pain, I asked her how long I might have to take my monthly Octreotide injections, already knowing the answer.
"Probably forever," she said sympathetically, but with an encouraging sense that at least it would help keep me alive for a long time to come.
The injections are supposed to help keep the carcinoid cancer at bay. So far, they seem to be doing the trick, although we'll wait and see what the next scans in February reveal.
I figured I might as well do some hunting on the medical websites in the meantime to see what is the latest news on the cancer front. I'll share it with you in the hopes that we can all benefit from the research.
The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Centre released a report regarding carcinoid treatment that found its way onto the BiomedME.com site.
The reports says: "The treatment combination of everolimus and octreotide long-acting repeatable (LAR), a somatostatin analogue that has shown antitumor activity, led to a clinically meaningful five-month delay in tumour growth, compared to octreotide alone.
"Neuroendocrine tumours, also known as carcinoids, are uncommon tumours arising from various primary sites. Frequently, carcinoids spread to the liver, causing a variety of symptoms termed carcinoid syndrome.
"'There are currently no Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drugs for oncologic control of most neuroendocrine tumors,' said Doctor James C. Yao. 'This research offers a promising option where there were limited options previously.'"
The report isn't entirely encouraging. It goes on to say that 65 percent of patients with advanced cases die "within five years of diagnosis." OK, that's depressing. It reminds me of what Dr. Edward Wolin at Cedars-Sinai told me earlier this year. Before he suggested surgery, Dr. Wolin suggested we had caught the carcinoid tumor fairly late and that damaged my chances for long-term survival. I trust Dr. Wolin in regards to most things, but I also have to believe I can beat the odds.
A quick note to Peter Bennett: My friend, we can win that five-year marathon. The next four years will be fine and then we can really celebrate the defeat of cancer. There's lots of help out there for all of us.
Dr. Wolin knows his stuff and he's still consulting on my case, along with my oncologist Dr. Alex Metzger at Marin Cancer Institute in Kentfield and Dr. Jeffrey Norton at Stanford Medical Center. All three seem to agree I'm on the right path after two surgeries: the initial operation to remove the main tumor and a right hemicolectomy to remove some lymph nodes which showed signs of cancer.
So, things are OK, maybe not great, but … OK? I can take that.
One last thing: I'd like to invite everyone to join me for a walk on the track at Infineon Raceway on Jan. 7 as we March Against Gastric Cancer. Funds raised from event will support the Jimmy V Foundation. For more information on the event, please contact Diana Brennan at firstname.lastname@example.com or (707) 933-3918.
