After a tractor trailer struck and killed a 6-year-old boy near his school in Harlem on Thursday, police pulled a school crossing guard off the job.
The boy, identified as Amar Diarrosova, of E. 106th Street, was crossing First Avenue east to west in the crosswalk and a tractor-trailer traveling westbound on 117th St. made a right turn onto First Avenue and struck the child.
EMS transported Amar to Harlem Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The boy's backpack lay in the street after the incident.
The area was cordoned off by police crime tape but police say no criminality was suspected.
Police issued the driver two summonses: failure to yield to pedestrian and failure to exercise due care, which are citations and not crimes.
A source told Fox 5's Lisa Evers Thursday afternoon that a school crossing guard who was supposed to be on duty at the intersection was not there.
Later Thursday evening, the NYPD confirmed that the department suspended crossing guard Flavia Roman, 55, for being "off post."

Walk-out plan by Stagecoach bus drivers over wage deal (From Banbury Cake)

Walk-out plan by Stagecoach bus drivers over wage deal
7:10am Thursday 15th May 2014 in News
BUS DRIVERS are set to strike over a pay dispute.
Unite drivers employed by Stagecoach announced they are preparing to strike on Friday, May 30 and Monday, June 2.
Members closed the ballot on May 2 after negotiations with company bosses faltered.
A member of the regional office in Twyford confirmed that two additional days, Friday and Monday, were originally planned, but have been cancelled while fresh pay offers are considered.
A spokesman for Unite, which has been handling negotiations, was asked for comment, but failed to respond.
Stagecoach spokeswoman Karen Coventry said: "A revised pay offer is being considered by all driving and engineering staff and Unite.
"In the meantime we can reassure our customers that there will be no strike action on Friday or Monday and all services will be operating."
Unite members are also due to take part in protests in Oxford today over wages and zero hours contracts for staff emplyed in fast food restaurants.
A spokesman said the demonstration would take place outside McDonalds in Cornmarket Street, because it is the UK's biggest fast food industry employer.
It will coincide with 19 others across the UK.

Andrew:Oxford says...
I'm really surprised that an Oxford franchisee of McDonald's is the UKs largest fast food employer.
Isn't NHS Professionals one of the largest employers of zero-hours contract staff in the UK? They have around 40,000 on their books.

5 Buy-Rated Bank Stocks With Safe and Solid Dividends (Update 1)
Updated with ratings cuts on JPMorgan Chase and Dime Community Bancshares, by Raymond James analyst Anthony Polini.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- A conservative analysis of bank stocks with "Buy" recommendations from TheStreet Ratings highlights five names easily covering attractive dividend payouts.
TheStreet Ratings takes a very conservative, long-term approach to stock ratings, placing its emphasis on long-term total returns as well as revenue trends and capital strength and dividends. The ratings also consider short-term performance, financial stability and volatility.
After previously covering three mid-cap bank stocks with A (Excellent) ratings and seven small-cap names assigned coveted A-plus ratings, we have isolated the highest-yielding bank stocks with "recommended" ratings of B-plus or higher, whose quarterly payouts are less than 50% of their first-quarter earnings per share.There are plenty of higher-yielding bank stocks out there, and some of them have "Buy" recommendations from TheStreet Ratings. A prime example is New York Community Bancorp (NYB) of Westbury. Based on a 25-cent quarterly payout, the shares had a dividend yield of 8.64% at Monday's closing price of $11.57, which was the highest dividend yield for any U.S. bank or thrift stock with average daily trading volume of over 40,000 shares, according to data provided by Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. New York Community Bancorp reported first-quarter earnings per share of 27 cents, for a dividend payout ratio of close to 93%. Some analysts have expressed concern over the company's high payout ratio over the past several years, but the company has maintained the dividend for 33 straight quarters. Other feathers in New York Community Bancorp's cap include a long-term record for very strong loan quality, along with good, consistent earnings performance, with operating returns on average assets ranging from 1.13% to 1.21% over the past four quarters, according to Thomson Reuters Bank Insight. Most analysts covering New York Community Bancorp are confident that the company will be able to maintain the dividend, with eight out of 23 analysts rating the shares a buy, while 12 have neutral ratings, two rate the shares "Underperform," and one analyst recommends selling. Among the believers is Fred Cannon of KBW, who rates New York Community Bancorp "Outperform," with a $15 price target, saying in April after the company reported its first-quarter results that he still believed the company would be able to maintain the dividend, but that "to meet all goals, it seems that management has to grow earnings assets to be sure the dividend is covered," and that "if mortgage banking fees wane, NYB could be in a box with management having to grow earning assets even more to offset [net interest margin pressure, in the prolonged low-rate environment] while the [tangible common equity] ratio would likely be falling toward 7%." New York Community has a deal in place to receive $24 million to assume $2.3 billion in deposits from Aurora Bank of Wilmington, Del. Citigroup Analyst Josh Levin rates New York Community Bancorp a "Sell," and said on May 9 that "an accretive acquisition poses the largest risk to our investment thesis," but that "our analysis of NYB's previous acquisitions suggests that the risk is lower than our original assessment and that investors may be awarding NYB too much credit for potential future acquisitions." Levin's price target for the shares is $11.00. The closing share price before Levin's report was published was $13.04, and the analyst said that his "sell thesis on NYB is predicated on the view that NYB's dividend is at greater risk of being cut than what is currently priced into the stock," and that it is "more likely than not" that regulators will force the company to cut the dividend, since it will be paying dividends equivalent to most or even more than its total earnings, while simultaneously expanding. The five buy-rated names discussed below have dividend yields ranging from 3.79% to 4.41%, and while those figures may not be very impressive when compared to New York Community Bank's dividend yield, these companies are more likely to have the ability to increase their dividends over the next couple of years, and these yields are nothing to sneeze at, when you consider that 10-year U.S. Treasuries are yielding just a shade over 1.5%. Here are the five buy-rated bank dividend stocks, in order of ascending dividend yield:

According to Fox News.com, doctors kept a U.K. baby boy
'frozen' for four days in order slow down his increasing heart rate,
metro.co.uk reported.
Baby Edward Ives' heart was racing at more than 300 beats per minute, so
doctors sedated him, wrapping him in a blanket filled with cooling gel – and
lowered his body temperature to about 91 degrees, the newspaper reported.
Doctors told Edward's parents he had a five percent survival rate – he was
born with supraventricular tachycardia and had to be delivered at 35 weeks at
the University College London
On the fourth day, Edward's heart rate returned to normal, and doctors
slowly warmed him back up to 98.6 degrees.
"All I wanted to do was scoop him up and give him a warm cuddle. I just
had to keep reminding myself that it was saving his life," Edward's mother,
Claire, 29, told the Metro.
Claire said her son is home now, and doing well.

Reported by Sara Gouedy- email/ bio
Posted by Amber Jenkins- email
WARREN COUNTY, OH (FOX19)-- Ryan Widmer's mother is talking about how she feels regarding the possibility of a new trial next week.
"Right now, I'm trying to look at anything as a little ray of hope, and that was a ray of hope," she told FOX19's Sara Gouedy.
Widmer says she's not looking for sympathy. She says she is looking forward to a court hearing that could give her son Ryan a new trial or set him free.
"I don't think there's any way you can prepare for it, other than we've got tons and tons of people to continue to pray, and that's kind of what we're doing," she says.
Prosecutors and a jury both said Ryan Widmer drowned his wife Sara in the bathtub of their home last August. A jury found Ryan guilty of murder earlier this month. He's currently serving a prison sentence of 15 years to life.
Ryan's mother says her son is innocent. Jill Widmer points out the emails and notes of support that have convinced her she's not alone in feeling like this. And around Warren county, there are a number of vocal people who say the guilty verdict didn't fit this case.
"I truly believe he would never ever put his family through this, and all of his friends, if he had done something like this." Debbie Cupp told FOX19's Sara Gouedy.
Cupp is a self described close friend of the family, who sat next to them during Cincinnati Bengal's games.
"He would have stepped up to the plate and never made any of them suffer. He's such a family person," Cupp says.
Next Thursday night, supporters of Ryan Widmer are planning a vigil in Warren county. The vigil's been organized through the Free Ryan Widmer website, with plans to hold it the night before the hearing.
Seven jurors have now been ordered to appear in court at the hearing.They may answer allegations made by one juror that some performed home experiments while deliberating Ryan's verdict. Juror John Campbell made that assessment as part of a motion made by Ryan's defense team for a new trial, or acquittal.
"This is my son's life, and and he will spend the rest of his life in jail, and if there are any other people that feel that something was done incorrectly, I just pray to god that they will have enough courage to step forward." says Jill Widmer.
Her son may be a convicted murderer, but this mother will not stop fighting it.

I had very low expectations and everything except embarkation and debarkation exceeded them. The entertainment was excellant. The food and service very good. Kids club provided an excellant experience for the kids. Ship features and facilities were ranged from Good to Excellant. The cabin was smaller than average but very functional. New York is a great place to depart from and almost all our fellow passengers had arrived by car, train or bus. The staff from NCL was exceptionally responsive to our needs. The one thing I would say is that you do need to tell them what you want they are not mind readers and with freestyle cruising you will not usually get the same wait staff.
Our 4th port of call was samana which they dont list on cruise critic. It was our best trip. Go to Las Halitos unless you are unsteady on your feet. Get an excursion at the dock we paid 35 a person with Juan an american ex pat. Perhaps the most interesting trip in all of the Islands.

City man charged in DUI crashMarch 22,2013Man facing a DUI
charge after crash
Vermont State Police said a Rutland man was intoxicated when he drove through a guardrail at the intersection of Cold River and Stratton roads in Rutland Town early Thursday.
Police, town firefighters and a Regional Ambulance Service crew were called just after 2 a.m. to the intersection, where a 2001 Ford Explorer went through a guardrail and over two large rocks before stopping.
The driver, James Fitzsimmons, 28, was taken to Rutland Regional Medical Center for what police described as unknown injuries. He was not listed as a patient at the hospital late Thursday afternoon, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Fitzsimmons was processed for a drunken driving offense at the hospital, police said.

LIU Brooklyn PR Arabic Calligraphy Mar 5
Brooklyn, N.Y. – Calligrapher Elinor Aishah Holland will present a workshop on Arabic Calligraphy at LIU Brooklyn on Friday, March 22, at 2 p.m. The hands–on workshop will give participants a better understanding of the rich cultural context of this classical art form.
Hosted by the campus' Honors Program and the Visual Arts Department, the event, which is free and open to the public, will take place in the Humanities Building, Room 901B. The workshop is supported by the McGrath Fund.
Elinor Aishah Holland is one of the few Americans to study Islamic calligraphy in the traditional method of the Ottoman Hattat (calligraphers). Since 1988, Holland has been a student of Khatt with the master calligrapher, Ustadh Mohamed Zakariya. She has taught Islamic calligraphy to students of all ages at schools, museums and other learning institutions since 1994. Her freelance work includes private commissions and commercial pieces.
"Beautiful writing is highly prized by cultures around the world, and Arabic calligraphy is one of the most graceful and elegant forms of calligraphy,"said LIU Brooklyn Gallery Director Nancy Grove.
Holland's workshop will include a slideshow and demonstration of examples of Arabic calligraphy. Participants will then be given pens to practice the alphabet in the Thuluth style.
Holland obtained a B.A. in Religious Studies from Temple University, studied Classical Arabic at the University of Pennsylvania and completed a summer program at the Center for Arabic Studies at the University of Cairo. She has been a student of both Arabic and English calligraphy for more than 20 years. Holland is also accomplished in the Western lettering traditions. She is a past board member of the New York Society of Scribes and she curated an exhibit, "Alphabetics East to West," at Pratt Institute.
LIU Brooklyn's Humanities Building is located on Flatbush Avenue between DeKalb Avenue and Willoughby Street. For more information about the lecture, contact Nancy Grove of the Visual Arts Department at (718) 488-1198 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.
LIU Brooklyn is distinguished by…
dynamic curricula reflecting the great urban community it serves. Distinctive programs encompass the arts and media, the natural sciences, business, social policy, urban education, the health professions and pharmacy, and include the Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, the Ph.D. in Pharmaceutics, the D.P.T. in Physical Therapy and the Pharm.D. in Pharmacy. A vibrant urban oasis in downtown Brooklyn, this diverse and thriving campus offers academic excellence, personalized attention, small class size and flexible course schedules. In 2006, a $45-million Wellness, Recreation and Athletic Center was opened to serve the Campus and the surrounding community. In 2007, the Cyber Café was launched, providing a high-tech hot spot for students and faculty members to meet and eat.

President Obama makes a statement from the White House on gun control:
thank the Senate for taking another step forward in our common effort to help
reduce gun violence by advancing a bill that would reinstate and strengthen a
ban on the sale of military-style assault weapons and set a 10-round limit for
magazines. These weapons of war, when combined with high-capacity
magazines, have one purpose: to inflict maximum damage as quickly as
possible. They are designed for the battlefield, and they have no place
on our streets, in our schools, or threatening our law enforcement officers.
"The Senate has now advanced legislation addressing three of the most important elements of my proposal to help reduce the epidemic of gun violence in this country. Now the full Senate and the House need to vote on this bill, as well as the measures advanced in the past week that would impose serious penalties on anyone who buys a gun as part of a scheme to arm criminals, improve school safety, and help keep guns out of the hands of criminals, people with a severe mental illness, and others who shouldn't have them. Each of these proposals deserves a vote."

Penalties awarded to Manchester United this season have resulted in more misses than goals, and the boss admits it's a concern. Sir Alex told MUTV: "I don't think it is [just] one of those things, we must improve on that, I must say.
"There's been a lot of talk about the boy (Rickie) Lambert at Southampton, who has scored 31 out of 31 – that's what penalty-kick taking is all about.
"There have been several other great examples from over the years. Matt Le Tissier scored 47 out of 48 and there was a player in Scotland who played for Rangers [Johnny Hubbard, who scored 65 out of 68].
"A penalty kick is your opportunity to take an advantage, whether it was a foul or a handball that led to it. You have to score a goal."

MADISON (WKOW) -- According to a daily survey of 210 gas outlets in Madison, the city's average retail gas prices have risen 3.9 cents per gallon in the past week averaging $3.19/g on Sunday.
This compares with the national average that has increased 0.7 cents per gallon in the last week to $3.26/g, according to gasoline price website GasBuddy.com. Including the change in gas prices in Madison during the past week, prices Sunday were 13.6 cents per gallon lower than the same day one year ago and are 3.1 cents per gallon higher than a month ago. The national average has increased 1.9 cents per gallon during the last month and stands 8.9 cents per gallon lower than this day one year ago. "While gasoline prices have seemingly remained virtually unchanged in many areas across the U.S. in the last week, that has meant that some areas are still seeing prices remain much lower than a year ago," said GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst Patrick DeHaan.

Solstad Offshore has for a long time focused on reducing emissions of polluting gasses, and last year, introduced the system, Solstad Green Operations (SGO). Through unique and innovative efforts on all levels of the organization, the crew uses this system to reduce the fleet's fuel consumption by as much as 20%.
The Project Manager for SGO, is the offshore shipping company's Environmental and Development Engineer, Tor Inge Dale and according to him it is this work which has led to the climate-neutral concept Climate Neutral Operations (CNO).
Saving money with climate neutrality
A green operation is a measure that saves the consumption of fuel. If a vessel manages to save minimum 500 liters of fuel in an environmental initiative, this is recorded as a green operation in the company's environmental system. There are many ways that ships can streamline their environmental performance, and the crew onboard focuses their efforts on seven main categories of environmental saving. Not only is there environmental savings but there are also cost savings for the company's customers.
The company now wants to extend these savings to bring their environmental work a step further.
- in this climate neutral concept we now want to invite our customers to use some of the cost savings from SGO on fuel on CNO, says Dale and elaborates:
In practice this means that our customers will be involved at three levels of the company's environmental work:
1. The customer is given an overview of the ship's CO2 accounts
2. Solstad Offshore introduces measures to reduce fuel consumption on the ship and for each SGO registered, there is a direct result in terms of reduced CO2, NOx and exhaust emissions. Moreover, the company pays the Norwegian Rainforest Foundation for the preservation of 1000 m2 of rainforest. The target is that each ship will carry out about 185 green operations each year, which will save 6.5 million m2 of rainforest which equals the quantity of CO2 produced by the company's total emissions.
3. In collaboration with its customers, Solstad Offshore compensates for its emissions by investing in and supporting projects that are certified for CO2 cuts in accordance with the UN climate quotas.
- CNO is a breakthrough on the road to us becoming a climate-neutral company, and because of the savings from SGO it is actually more expensive for our customers to operate a ship without environmental measures than using a climate-neutral ship. This means that climate-neutral shipping is a commercially profitable measure we can introduce together with our customers, says Managing Director Lars Peder Solstad.
Big commitment
In 2010, Solstad and its employees, aims to complete about 6,500 green operations and save 6.5 million m2 of rainforest, as well as paving the way for the world's first climate-neutral offshore shipping company.
-It's our crew who are the company's environmental heroes. Their competence and experience make these measures work effectively, says Lars Peder Solstad.
The Executive Director of the Rainforest Foundation, Lars Løvold, thinks Solstad Offshore's project is very exciting and indicative of the company's major commitment to the environment:
- Solstad Offshore, motivating their employees to reduce their own pollution in this way is itself praiseworthy, but when they link this to measures that preserve the rainforest on a global level this gives the project an extra dimension, says Løvold. He goes onto say that the Rainforest Foundation collaborates with the Norwegian Government and other companies on global conservation of the rainforests but that Solstad Offshore is currently the only shipping company that co-operate on forest conservation.
The environmental efforts of Solstad Offshore, have also been recognized on an international level. At the Sustainabale Shipping Awards 2010 in London, Solstad Offshore was nominated as one of the three shipping companies for the prize Shipping Green Initiative of the Year. On Tuesday afternoon the company is also invited to talk about its environmental work to Norway's Ambassadors, and the Norwegian Minister of Environment and International Development, Erik Solheim, said in a statement that he is impressed by the shipping company's environmental work. He thinks it is great that the company has taken the initiative to add a commercial viewpoint on such an important and forward-thinking environmental concept which is ahead of both current market and regulatory requirements.
Solstad Offshore is highligting its environmental programme during ONS 2010 in Stavanger, from 24th-27th of August.

As with past seasons, the projects of Season 4 are designed to appeal to both the weekend warrior and the hardcore woodworker alike. Tommy brings his woodworking expertise to everything from a beautiful glass desk lamp with an amazing geometric design to a bright red bent lamination chair. There's a birdhouse, a memory box and even a bed on the docket. Tommy knows the devil is in the details, so he'll be calling out the techniques as well — viewers will learn the ins and outs of dovetails, mortise and tenon joinery, federal embellishments, veneering and more.
Our Rough Cut Road Trips took us all over New England from the Tremont Nail factory to see how nails are hand-forged to a museum at the Rhode Island School of Design, which featured some wonderful federal furniture. New this year, host Tommy MacDonald visits a bird sanctuary and picks up tips on how to make a birdhouse inviting to the feathered friend. Look for the special "Boston Strong" episode featuring woodworker and Boston Police Chief Ed Davis, who shows he has more talents than just keeping the city safe.
Season 03
It's tables, bowls, barrels and more as Tommy takes it to the woodworking limits in Season 03 of Rough Cut. On road trips to Napa Valley, the Berkshires and Rhode Island Tommy learns the secrets of the masters and applies time-tested techniques and time-saving tricks to his own projects back in the workshop.
Season 02
This season, Tommy heads out of the workshop to gain design inspiration in New York and California, as well as around the show's home base in New England. Then it's back to the shop with new ideas and inspiration.
Season 01
Follow Tommy as he travels to historical New England landmarks to gain design inspiration, then returns to his workshop to demonstrate the steps and techniques it takes to create comprehensive woodworking projects.

Dr. Lee Frank Hagan was a committed scholar activist who was devoted to the teaching and research of African and African-American History. He served New Jersey City University (Jersey City State College at that time) for 17 years as a professor of History, coordinator for the African/Afro-American Studies Program, founding member of the Black Administrators, Alumni, Faculty, Student and Staff Organization (BAAFSSO), and advisor to several student organizations.

- Fantastic FoodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014The food was fabulous. The service was impeccable. It is a very easy 3 minute walk to the national theater.Special Features:
- Needs more seafoodMichaelDined on 8/28/2014While the food was excellent, the best seafood was in the appetizers. There was only one seafood dish among the entrees. They should include more seafood or change the name of the restaurant.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DC Institution Falls FlatChocoholicVIPDined on 8/27/2014This DC institution is resting on its laurels.The roast chicken was mediocre.I didn't want the kale, but they didn't permit substitutions.In other words, they said, "Screw you, customer!" We were sitting outdoors, and I saw a rat run through the restaurant. That's happened to me twice this summer at other restaurants, so I guess it's just part of city living.Finally, this is the second time I've dined eat The Occidental in the last year and both times there were problems with the food. The first time we complained, and the manager did an OUTSTANDING job of making up for the problem.This time I didn't complain. I was too busy talking to my friend. I'm unlikely to go back to The Occidental anytime soon.Special Features:
- Sarita19thDined on 8/24/2014Beautiful outdoor setting, which was welcoming to our whole family!Special Features:
- Beautiful ambiance.finediner42VIPDined on 8/24/2014Choose to sit outside on the couch chairs. They're very comfortable and are set up in a semi-secluded area. The short ribs for brunch with grits, braised kale, and egg were amazing. One of the best brunches I've had in DC.Special Features:
- Excellent servicekmo13Dined on 8/18/2014The restaurant was very accommodating. They responded to us with no fuss when we increased our group size & pushed back our reservation an hour. Wait staff was also very good, seeming to anticipate our needs.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No "Occident"KulinaryKidVIPDined on 8/17/2014Excellent service ! Food was fresh, tasty, and unique. great experience, just be aware that it is priceySpecial Features:
- wonderful eveningmarineDined on 8/16/2014Everything worked Saturday night … from handy valet parking, choice of seating, quiet but vibrant atmosphere, outstanding waiter, an excellent dry martini made to my specifications and correctly presented and excellent food. This was to be a night for convivial grown-up family conversation over good food and drinks … the Occidental delivered on all counts.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Iconic setting, still wonderfulHomerJDined on 8/16/2014No outdoor cafe says Washington, DC more than the Occidental, with the view of the Washington Monument and the Treasury Department, next to the White House. Wonderful setting, excellent food, attentive service. We had an absolutely splendid Saturday night dinner outdoors, on an August evening, and it was perfect in every way.Special Features:
- DisappointingOpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 8/14/2014The food was fine, but the service disappointed on many levels. I didn't realize that the guitar player's speaker would point to our table a few minutes after sitting down. It's already a very noisy patio with the traffic, tour buses un/loading and regular helicopter buzz. "Butter" was not the answer I expected when I asked what was in the butter. Turns out it's apricot and honey, which was delicious. I shouldn't have had to ask for silverware, more water, etc. in my opinion. The pacing of the courses could improve. This was restaurant week, so some things can be overlooked. But, there are many other choices in the area. There seemed to be no interest, on the part of the waitstaff, in making sure I'd be excited to return.
- ocidentalOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 8/13/2014I walk with a cane and steps are difficult. When I arrived at the outside hostess station I asked to be seated inside. I was sent up a long ramp to the entrance only too find that the only way into the dinning room was down a flight of steps. I was then sent back to the outside hostess station (down the ramp again). When I was offered an outside table I asked to be seated inside it seemed to be a problem for the hostess. Finally they remembered there was a way inside at street level By this time I am really loosing my desire to stay. The noise level was a turnoff, but the table I was given was in a surprisingly quiet area. The evening was saved by a very helpful waiter and busboy. The food was great with enough for a doggie bag.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Blending tradition with the newPigsFlyDined on 8/13/2014This is traditional, high-style cooking in a historic, elegant setting, rather akin to Delmonico's in New York City when it was at its height. But know that there is a creative, thinking, expert in the kitchen who gives everything an ample coating of whatever is contemporary and fresh. Dishes are interesting and full of surprises without being pretentious or overly thought-out. Best of all, it won't take the waitstaff a half hour to explain your entree. Occidental keeps it simple and intriguing; this makes for a special night out. Masterful.Special Features:
- M1M1MDined on 8/11/2014We went for DC restaurant week and had a fabulous birthday dinner! The regular menu is a bit pricey but our meal was well worth the deal. Depth and of flavors was delicious and creative. The inside of the restaurant (though still business/semi-formal attire-esque) was slightly more casual than I originally anticipated but still had a nice ambience. Our server was great and very attentive. Overall we really enjoyed a nice quiet dinner, my compliments to the chefs!Special Features:
- Quite Disappointing but Great ViewsdcoenophileDined on 8/10/2014I chose to dine at the Occidental Grill because I wanted to sit outdoors, and watch the Super Moon rise above the Capitol. The moon did not disappoint, but the Grill did. Service was good, but the food; not so much. I read the online menu, and was quite excited about a few listings. I ordered the Chilled Heirloom Gazpacho, and while it did have avocado and crab meat, the base more of a puree; similar to condensed tomato soup. It was quite bland. I then ordered the Prosciutto Wrapped Monkfish. The monkfish was overcooked, and the rest of the dish less than memorable. Nice wine by the glass list. After reading all the glowing reviews, I kept asking myself, if I was dining at the same restaurant that was reviewed so highly.Special Features:
- Almost perfectAlmostperfectDined on 8/2/2014Easy to find, being right across the street from the White House. From the wine list to the appetizers, and chef's complimentary "starters", it was what you would expect from an upscale DC restaurant. The main course was superb as well! Service was very professional and on point all the way till I received my check...this is where I found DC's prejudice. The waiter had asked if my wife and I were locals to DC, to which I replied, we live near Hagerstown. He then hands me the check (for $220.00) without so much as a thank you, or have a good evening, or thanks for coming in, etc. you get the point. It was a big disappointment to conclude a wonderful dinner. I hope in the future the management will better train their staff appropriately.Special Features:
- Wonderful Dinner, worth the price!GammillDined on 8/1/2014We visited for our 5 year anniversary and enjoyed it! They were so considerate and even went the extra mile for us to celebrate! They had a congratulatory card waiting for us and also gave is complimentary dessert for our anniversary ! The bar tender was patient with us and we enjoyed talking with him while waiting on our reservation since we arrived early. Great experience!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Service is the best at OccidentalOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/1/2014The service at the Occidental is the best in town...the wait staff is prompt, polite and professional. Try their BLT for lunch with a side salad...just right.Special Features:
- always a pleasant experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 7/30/2014The Occidental is a great place to bring people you want to talk to as well as share a good meal with. Comfortable seating, excellent service, reliably good, if not great, American food.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Almost 5 starsdineaboutDined on 7/26/2014Our waiter was excellent, the place was not overcrowded, the lobster bisque was a bit edgy, with an overcooked flavor. The drinks were very good. My NY Strip was good, but there was very little crabmeat on top, and the crab was barely warm. My husband's Filet Mignon was good. We finished with a berry compote and French press coffee, both of which was very good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Delicious food and great serviceFoodluvrVIPDined on 7/23/2014I met a business colleague for lunch and we were both very pleasantly surprised! The food was very good - tuna and crab cakes and the service was old-fashioned - very professional and good. We will both be going back and we wondered why we hadn't thought of The Occidental before now!Special Features:
- ExcellencewestwoodkingDined on 7/19/2014Despite being feeling moderately busy in the bar dining room for a Saturday evening downtown, the service was very attentive, friendly, yet unobtrusive. Short rib and filet were perfect. Some of the best short rib I've ever had in fact. And the bar knew how to make my favourite cocktail, the Vesper. And free glasses of champagne for my wife's birthday.Special Features:
- very enjoyableRedheadVIPDined on 7/18/2014Good service, good food, and an engaging bartender Mike, all made for a pleasant experience.Special Features:
- Single servingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/12/2014Crab cake and bread pudding were fantastic!!!! Serving sizes were perfect. Great service!!! Loved sitting outdoors... Very relaxing!!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fourth of JulyFranVIPDined on 7/4/2014I was disappointed in the menu. There was a special 4th of July menu and the usual lighter options were not available. Also, my appetizer was never brought to the table, my entrée was brought, when I mentioned about my appetizer they went to check == about 10 minutes later someone brought it out but I said I did not want it as I was 1/2 way through my entrée. They offered me dessert on the house for the error.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AliceAliceDined on 6/25/2014Great dining experience - had outstanding waiter and lovely menu; have visited before and was not disappointed - I would recommend who wants a lovely evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Occidental Grill & SeafoodLion26KingVIPDined on 6/21/2014The South shall rise again! I was blown away by the marvelous slant on Southern cooking.Special Features:
- Special CareOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 6/20/2014I lined up the Occidental for my sister and her husband who were in town to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. They had nothing but wonderful things to say about how well they were treated and their overall dining experience. Thank you for making it a truly special occasion for them!Special Features:
- Nice Wvening with friendsWildcat76VIPDined on 6/17/2014A very nice evening. Good food, broad selection. Great service from our server Lolly, bartender Mike and matre de Linda.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 6/17/2014I have dined here for business previously and the food and service were so much better. The problem on my last visit the service was fair due to the server and most of the rest of the employees were focused on watching the World Cup. The special chicken my boss ordered over risotto the chicken was dry and the risotto someone in the kitchen was carried away with the salt shaker. With all the choices to dine I will not be returning any time soon.Special Features:
- History prevailsnjdevil1VIPDined on 6/12/2014A great place to eat surrounded by icons of American and worl history. The pictures and portraits alone ale the experience worthwhile. The service was excellent, the noise level very high. The food was inconsistent. Steaks were superb, crab cakes excellent. The rabbit was so so. Lobster mashed were to die for. Fish portions seemed to be on the small side versus the price.
- HikingirlOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 6/11/2014Love the location; sat outside and watched the city go by. Food was disappointing. Nice but way over priced. Very small portions are still small portions even if served fancy, "gourmet" or whatever. Still not worth $36 for an entree that you walk away still hungry! Service was amazingly slow, especially considering there were few there. We've eaten there before because we like the location but probably won't go back because it's just not worth it.Special Features:
- 2 out of 4 drinks were unavailableHamiltonDined on 6/10/2014bar is NOT ready for top shelf order !!! Noise from next to ours table did not allow us and our guests to have any conversation !!! We couldnt have drinks we ordered, FOOD WAS FANTASTIC !! witnessed ppl leaving due to loud table of 7 !! It was NOT what we had in mind when we invited friends we didn't see for long time and wished to dine and "catch up" !!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Consistently excellentlov2eatDined on 6/7/2014The Occidental is in a spectacular location, beside the White House and near two historic theaters and the Willard Hotel. The inside feels like living history, and the atmosphere is wonderful. But the restaurant does not depend upon these strengths. The food is always good or excellent, and the service is always superb. I cannot imagine ever being disappointed in a meal at the Occidental.Special Features:
- Brunch at the Scali tableLABelloDined on 6/7/2014Being history buffs, my husband and I made reservations for brunch at 11:00am, when the restaurant first opens, and specifically requested the John Scali table. The waiter was very friendly and professional, being exceptionally patient as my husband and I completely geeked over finally visiting this historic place. He even accommodated our request for a photo of ourselves at the Scali table. The brunch menu had a little bit of everything. The food was very well prepared and beautifully served. The coffee was served French press style and was very smooth and rich. Perfection. Prices are reasonable for the class of restaurant that you will enjoy. The Occidental is a first class establishment and it shows in every detail.Special Features:
- Excellent Pre-theaterfoodie55VIPDined on 6/5/2014Went for pre-theater but was running late. All staff was friendly and great and got us out in time. Food was very good. Definately would recommend it.Special Features:
- Great Place to eat!missyDined on 6/4/2014We always eat at the Occidental when we are visiting DC. The Filet is just outstanding. The service is impeccable.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Good food, great location.casualdinnerDined on 6/1/2014The location is nice, especially in the evening on the patio. Service and food where very good. Interesting to see all the people who have been patrons at the restaurant.Special Features:
- Raw duck?LoveBeenzDined on 5/31/2014We wanted to have some upscale fine dining for our wedding anniversary with historical surroundings and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent presentation of the food. We were not so pleased when it turned out that the duck we were served were virtually raw and was told that that's how the chef usually cook it? When it finally were cooked (after having send it back twice) it tasted really good but by then the company at the table had already finished his dish. The rabbit that were served were OK but could have benefitted from some more spices. The vegetables and the mushrooms were very tasty and the starters (lobster soup and crispy veal sweetbreads) were likewise tasty and well composed. The service was also excellent.Special Features:
- Always pleasedluvditDined on 5/28/2014I hadn't been here for a few years, but was in town for a conference and went for dinner. It was as wonderful as ever. The food was great and the service was exceptional. It is one of my favorite DC restaurants.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- They run out of menu items quicklyhmrtravelerDined on 5/25/2014Very limited seafood menu and they ran out of half of it before we could order. We ended up only getting appetizers because we were so uninspired by the rest of the dinner menu. Frankly, the brunch menu online looked a lot better, but apparently the kitchen is inflexible and will not divert from the dinner menu even when they are out of 50% or more of the seafood items on the dinner menu. They have a great outdoor seating area. If you can order something you really like before they sell out, I guess it's not a bad place to go.Special Features:

The lone finalist for Atlanta Public Schools' next superintendent made the rounds on Saturday.
Officials announced Thursday that Texas educator, Dr. Meria Carstarphen has been chosen to serve as the district's next superintendent. Carstarphen, originally of Selma, Ala., serves as superintendent of the Austin Independent School District.

In a statement, Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed called Carstarphen a proven visionary leader, and said he'd do everything in his power to support her.
Interim Superintendent Erroll Davis' contract ends June 30.

Rumors, rumors and more rumors. Is that what the "Mike Leach to NC State" is all about? Probably.
Bruce Feldman of CBS Sports tweeted Monday he got in touch with Leach, who told him "he has no idea where that came from". The "that" to which he refers is the report NC State had contacted Leach about the open position. Feldman writes, "Just asked Leach about NC ST report. Says he has no idea where that came from: "They haven't talked to me & I'm really happy here."
ESPN's Heather Dinich published a list of potential hires to replace Tom O'Brien. They include Chad Morris (OC, Clemson); Darrell Hazell (HC, Kent State); Dave Doeren (HC, Northern Illinois); and Bob Diaco (DC, Notre Dame). But no mention of Mike Leach.
So relax, Cougar fans. Mike Leach isn't going anywhere. At least not today.

Derry News
---- — CONCORD — Nine New England cottontails that were born and raised in captivity now call New Hampshire home.
They are here as a result of a major effort among six states to restore their population and protect them before they disappear forever. A special fundraising effort is now underway through the N.H. Fish and Game Department's Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program to support this multi-faceted restoration effort for New Hampshire's only native cottontail.
The nine New England cottontails were born in a captive-breeding facility at the Roger Williams Zoo in Rhode Island earlier this year. In September, they were transported to a special outdoor pen in Newington, where they will spend the winter while transitioning to life in the wild.
In addition to captive breeding, on-the-ground habitat restoration is helping to create more of the shrubland habitat that New England cottontails need for food and shelter. This winter, biologists will provide supplemental food and will be monitoring areas where wild New England cottontails are known to still occur.
The Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program is seeking public support for this exciting restoration effort. Tax-deductible contributions may be sent to the Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program, New Hampshire Fish and Game Department, 11 Hazen Drive, Concord, 03301. Make checks payable to NH Fish and Game/Nongame Program. For a print-and-mail contribution form, visit wildnh.com/Wildlife/Nongame/support_nongame.htm.
New England cottontails are endangered in New Hampshire and are a candidate for listing under the Federal Endangered Species Act. They occur in parts of southern Maine, Southern New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and southeastern New York. Their current distribution is less than a fifth of their historic range.
These native rabbits are 15 to 17 inches in length, with a brown and gray coat that does not change color with the seasons. They often have a black spot between the ears and a black line on the edge of the ears, which can help distinguish between them from Eastern cottontails, but these features are not always present.
New England cottontails are active year round at dawn, dusk and at night. In the summer, they feed on grasses and forbs, and in the winter they eat bark, twigs, and buds of shrubs and young trees. They have three to eight young in a litter and may have two to three litters per year.
The N.H. Fish and Game Department's Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program is the steward for species not hunted, fished or trapped. Through wildlife monitoring and management, plus outreach and education, the Nongame Program works to protect more than 400 species of mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians, as well as thousands of insects and other invertebrates.

This helmet looks great and has a lovely soft fleece like lining to keep your ears warm. the adjustable sizing mechanism is really good.
March 30, 2014
I bought a size small from a range of the same hemets, so i was surprised to find it described as a "kids helmet". a good fit, comfortable and i shall enjoy skiing with it when the time comes.

Redirecting a thread from another discussion.
casey wrote:The problem isn't that new racers should start racing in January when the Early Birds are happening ( after all the Early Birds can't deal with 700 first time racers). The problem is we don't have 2 or 3 additional Early Bird type series going on at different points during the year. With over 960 Cat 5s in the region I would think that it would be easy to fill a 50 rider Cat 5 field at just about any time during the year.
Of course I know about time limitations and promoters having to pick and choose what categories they offer. I'm just pointing out that there are ore than enough Cat 5s to fill a cat 5 only field at this time of the year.
We've already eliminated prizes from the 5's fields...
Lets' take the 5's out of the other fields.
Lets' have mentoring in all 5's races, thus making them more instructional and less competitive -- like the Early Birds. I loved mentoring at the EB's, and I would gladly do so at crits -- even when I'm competing in other divisions.
Perhaps promoters could offer an hour of off-course instruction at some of their crits, especially the business park crits where traffic is a nominal issue.
A second Early Bird series, even an abbreviated one, would require a great risk from a promoter, and sacrifices from mentors who could be racing elsewhere. It's probably not a practical idea, unless the NCNCA dedicates its calendar strategically to make it succeed.
Certainly it's worth discussion.

It's always a pleasure to see Randy Magnus show up at our local Obon festivals with cameras in hand and a cheerful smile on his face . Because Randy has been documenting these festivals for many years, the dancers and drummers have come to appreciate his presence, knowing that their treasured events will be captured on camera, shared with the community, and preserved for future generations.
I hope you will enjoy the precious moments captured in these images and the Japanese Buddhist culture they represent. We honor our departed loved ones, those who have recently passed on, as well as our amilial and spiritual ancestors throughout space and time, remembering that our lives are intertwined with theirs.
Through costume, dance, music, food, and ritual, the Bon Dances keep Japanese Buddhist culture in Hawaii vibrant and alive.
I trust you will see all of this and more in these telling photographs by our local photographer, artist, documenter, and friend, Randy Magnus.
