It's sometimes difficult to comprehend just how incompetent the Obama national-security team is. This report gives us a peek:
The Obama administration, after 16 months of treating President Hamid Karzai with what some U.S. officials called "tough love," will welcome the Afghan leader Monday with all the trappings of a head of state, in what officials said is the start of a new, more pragmatic approach.
The shift, backed by the Pentagon and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, follows concerns that repeated public criticism of Mr. Karzai, particularly of his commitment to anticorruption efforts, was backfiring, leading the mercurial leader to lash out and undermining U.S. public support for the war. …
U.S. officials said the transition from last month's bitter tenor to next week's red carpet is intentional. "The main objective of the trip is to repair the damage" caused by the war of words, says a U.S. official familiar with planning for the visit.
Gen. David Petraeus, who oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, said public disputes between Mr. Karzai and administration officials "play into the hands of our enemies," and that the approach had been jettisoned in favor of sustained outreach to the Afghan leader.
Did no one in the White House realize this before the administration went publicly ballistic with a crucial wartime ally? Apparently not:
In interviews, some U.S. officials said there is growing acknowledgment within the administration that the very public criticism of Mr. Karzai's failings as a leader made the Afghan president more suspicious of American intentions.
"I think we all realized we had gotten ourselves right to the edge of the cliff about a month and a half ago, and there was nowhere to go but jump off the cliff, and that was too scary for everybody," said a former senior U.S. official who has discussed the visit with top officials in both governments.
One must ask whether anyone realized they were jumping off the cliff with Israel, as well. After all, don't the screamathons with Bibi, the "condemnations," and the series of demands from the Obama team for more and more unilateral Israeli concessions "play into the hands" of enemies of Israel and the United States? You'd think there would be key advisers who'd point that out as well. If there are any, Obama isn't listening to them.
There are two possibilities in these scenarios: total incompetence and mendacity. In the case of Afghanistan, the administration more or less has gotten the policy right; it's the execution that has been clumsy. In the case of Israel, however, the administration's obvious animus toward Bibi and its infatuation with the Palestinian narrative suggest that the latter is at play. Their charm offensive is meant to suggest that the problem has been a lack of tact with American Jewry and a failure to make clear how really, madly, honestly, truly the administration is devoted to Israel. But unlike its policy on Afghanistan, in the case of Israel, the administration is wedded to disastrous policies (e.g., distancing ourselves from Israel, obsessing on a stalemated "peace process," irresoluteness toward Iran, indifference on Muslim human-rights abusers). Until all of that changes or until there is a new Oval Office occupant, Israel remains imperiled.

On May 25th, members will be sent to their email addresses an election ballot and will have two weeks to fill it out on-line. On Friday, May 7th five teams of graduate planning students from New York University, Pratt Institute, Hunter College, Rutgers University, and Columbia University presented their studio projects. All five teams did a great job with their presentations. For those who are not familiar with the format, the planning schools choose their topics and are usually working with a municipality or non-profit client. Kathleen d'Erizans, Chair of the Chapter's Young Planners Group, moderated the program and the judges were Bob White, Candice Damon, and David Woods who all provided excellent feedback. One theme that ran through all five presentations was incorporating sustainability and wellness into the planning process. Special thanks go to Columbia University for hosting the program and to the APA Metro Chapter's Student Relations Committee Chair Cathy Kim and the student representatives on a successful program that started on time and ended slightly early. I want to congratulate the Hunter College's Department of Urban Affairs and Planning on being re-accredited by the Planning Accreditation Board (PAB). PAB regularly reviews programs and helps maintain the standards for planning education. PAB's mission is to ensure high quality education for future urban planners. PAB conducts the accreditation process for planning programs in North America. Lastly, I want to acknowledge the passing of civil rights pioneer Dorothy Height the founder of the National Council of Negro Women. It was as a member of the Youth Committee of the Bronx Chapter where I first learned the importance of volunteering.

As planners, as we imagine what our cities will look like and how they will function in the future, it is important to look back and reflect on how our predecessors addressed challenges of a new transportation technology, and remember that many ideas have been presented, but not all come to fruition. This exhibit provides an opportunity to revisits some of these ideas, and will remind us that planning is critical as our cities and society continue to absorb new technology.

MetroPlanner May/June Issue 3 of 13 vacant parcel (on Bronx River Road) are sites for potential redevelopment. Lee outlined the likely density, position in the market, and timing of these sites. His remark that Yonkers has been "doing TOD for 100 years" was well-taken, as the density of persons here supports the necessary walking population for heavy rail. Mr. Long took the group back to Mount Vernon, to the east and up the grade on Mount Vernon Avenue, and introduced us to one of the fundamental issues that the City must contend with: the diversity of land uses as well as the ripeness for redevelopment at TOD levels of density. This part of Mount Vernon contains light industrial uses that continue to find markets for their higher-value products and processes. These uses exist in close proximity to single- and multi-family housing and other commercial uses. The Mount Vernon Avenue corridor, stretching from the train station east for several blocks, contains several vacant properties. The orderly redevelopment of vacant parcels and the renewal of existing buildings can bring additional housing units, innovative green-focused business ventures, and a more coherent linkage between the train station and Map of Mount Vernon downtown Mount Vernon.

He explained that the Yonkers side of the station is mostly built out, with cooperative apartment buildings and smaller, older compact street front retail businesses.

There's a line in "Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" in which a disappointed Charlie says, "I bet the gold ticket makes the chocolate taste bad..." or something like that. Here, I would paraphrase it to the service is so poor (and slow) that it makes even the very good German food to taste bad. I have been going there despite the consistently slow and indifferent service but now I have hit the wall and have put this on my Restaurant Axis of Evil. Manager is never apologetic about slow service in which appetizers take 20 minutes to appear and bartenders who are either blind or so distracted they cannot properly attend to empty glasses of customers. Gave it many chances, now it's time to cut them loose.

Pastrami is the best I've ever had, and I'm comparing to NYC deli's like Katz's, Carnegie, etc. Kitchen was very slow. Took over 20 minutes to get served sandwiches and we were the only customers. Check ended up being a bit more than expected.
Posted by Bobby C on 09/30/2009
Love this place for its beers! Surprisingly good food. tables, bar tables, bar and an island bar - kind of tight, but all worth it - Food is amazing. Service is great, and it has a nice local feel to it. Sports bar - plenty of TVs, great sausage. Will go there again.
Posted by Sarah L on 08/31/2009
There are not that many bars in our neighbourhood, so Thirsty Bernie has been a real treat. I love the staff - all local and friendly! Go and try the stake sandwich and the spicy fries! my husband boasts about their european beers on tap. I am not much of a beer drinker but I'd take his word for it.
Posted by Randy G on 07/12/2009
The beer is great, and the food isn't so bad, but the service is . On a UFC game night (Saturday, July 12th), I waited almost 15 minutes before the bartender got around to getting me a drink, and then he had the audacity of saying to me, "You do realize that we live on tips, right?" Since service had been so slow, I gave him a small tip. After that, he refused to serve me at all the rest of the night, and he told the waiters not to serve me either. The bar was not as crowded as you might think; the bartender was just lazy with a bad attitude. Since the night was winding down anyway, I left without making a fuss, but I would not recommend this place to anyone.
Posted by glphr on 04/09/2009
i played a round at Arlington Country Club with a buddy of mine from work last week and saw this place on my way back to 66, I had read fantastic reviews in the Washingtonian, but never knew where it was. Never thought it would be literally in N Arlington. The place was bumping at 6:30 with a happy hour crowd of young parents and country clubbers. The beers on tap were mostly new to me but when in North Arlington do as the Germans? do. The bartender sold me on something paired with my Pastrami, "smoked pastrami" (out of this world, whoever thought to do this is incredible). The Menu was a great blend of Bavarian and American food highlighted by the beer list. Even if your not into the whole sports thing this place is perfect, the TVs blend in nicely and dont punch you in the face with a Football. Definately headed back anytime i find myself in those neck of the woods
Posted by jack deville on 03/10/2009
i went last friday for lunch and a had a leffe dark and the smoked turkey rueben. Both were phenominal. I want to try the beer sampler some time i dont have to go back to work. The manager is a local lacrosse player for the bayhawks that coached my kid at a camp over the summer and the bartender knows my wife from Arlington Country Club. This is a real local place with incredible food and drink and even better service. i admit the decor can come across as plain but who cares

Puerto Deseado: One of Patagonia's Underrated Pleasures
On the Ría Deseado's north shore, Puerto Deseado (pop. 10,252) is 216 kilometers southeast of Caleta Olivia and 295 kilometers from Comodoro Rivadavia via RN 3 and paved RN 281 (but 125 kilometers from the RN 3 junction).
For a small town, Deseado has plenty to see. The big draw is the Reserva Provincial Ría Deseado, but various historical monuments all have good stories behind them. By the late 19th century, Deseado seemed destined to become a rail port, as authorities planned a northwesterly freight-and-passenger line to Bariloche. It never advanced beyond Las Heras, 283 kilometers northwest, and closed in 1977, leaving the stately Estación del Ferrocarril Patagónico (Eufrasia Arias s/n, 4–7 p.m. Mon.–Sat., free) as a surprisingly good museum staffed by former railroad workers.
Several monuments date from this era, most notably the railroad's Vagón Histórico (1898), an historic railcar in a small plaza at San Martín and Almirante Brown. Immediately across the street, Banco de la Nación has preserved its classic lava-block style, but the supermarket that occupies the former Compañía Argentina del Sud (1919) has concealed its vintage details with hideous painted signs on all sides (pointlessly, as it has no competition in town). One block west stands the Sociedad Española (1915).
Along the waterfront, the Museo Regional Mario Brozoski (Brown and Colón, tel. 0297/487-0673, 8 a.m.–5 p.m. weekdays, 3–7 p.m. weekends, free) holds artifacts from the English corvette Swift, sunk nearby in 1770 and rediscovered in 1982. Several kilometers northeast, Balneario Las Piletas is a volcanic beach area where retreating tides leave pools warm enough for swimming, at least in summer.
At the north end of Almirante Zar, after passing beneath a railroad bridge, the road leads five kilometers into the isolated Cañadon Quitapenas and excellent camping sites (no services). Ten kilometers west of town, a southbound lateral leads to the Gruta de Lourdes, a secluded pilgrimage site where the faithful have left devotional plaques. Rare rainstorms produce ephemeral waterfalls here.
Reserva Natural Ría Deseado
One of coastal Patagonia's primo wildlife sites, the Ría Deseado submerges a long narrow valley that once carried more freshwater. As the freshwater flow diminished, seawater penetrated farther and farther inland, creating new islands and other fauna-rich habitats. Offshore islands also form part of the reserve.
Several operators organize wildlife-watching excursions in and around the Ría to locations such as the Magellanic penguin colony at Isla Chaffers and cliff-side colonies of rock cormorants and gray or red-legged cormorants at Banca Cormorán, where deep water permits close approach to the nests. On any excursion, swiftly swimming toninas overas (Commerson's dolphins) breach and dive around and under the outboard launches; in mating season, they leap out of the water.
At Isla de los Pingüinos, 30 kilometers offshore, there are breeding elephant seals, sea lions, and the world's northernmost colonies of the tireless rockhopper penguin, which braves crashing waves up steep stone faces to reach its nesting sites. Some operators also follow Darwin's route up the Ría where, wrote the great naturalist, "I do not think I ever saw a spot which appeared more secluded from the rest of the world, than this rocky crevice in the wild plain."
In handsome new quarters that include a sea-view confitería, Darwin Expediciones (Avenida España s/n, tel. 0297/15-624-7554) has extensive experience here and also does sea kayaking. Half-day trips to Isla Chaffers cost about US$37 pp; full-day trips, following Darwin's estuary route, cost about US$92 pp. A full-day excursion to the rockhopper colony at Isla de los Pingüinos runs about US$84 pp with an eight-passenger minimum.
Turismo Aventura Los Vikingos (Estrada 1275, tel. 0297/487-0020, tel. 0297/487-0020) does similar maritime itineraries.
Information and Services
The Dirección Municipal de Turismo (Avenida San Martín 1525, tel. 0297/487- 0220) is open 8 a.m.–8 p.m. daily in summer, 9 a.m.–6 p.m. daily the rest of the year.
Banco de la Nación (San Martín 1001) has an ATM.
Correo Argentino (San Martín 1075) is the post office; the postal code is 9050. Telefonía Deseado (Almirante Brown 544) has telephones and Internet connections.
For medical services, try the Hospital Distrital (Brown and Colón, tel. 0297/487- 0200).
Getting There and Around
From the Terminal de Ómnibus (Sargento Cabral 1302), about 10 blocks northeast of downtown, there are buses to Caleta Olivia (3.5 hours, US$12) and Comodoro Rivadav i a (4.5 hour s, US$15) with Transporte La Unión (tel. 0297/15-592- 8598, 3 buses daily) and Sportman (tel. 0297/487-0013, 2 buses daily).

How Much Do Correctional Officers Make?
Correctional officers are primarily responsible for overseeing prison inmates. Read on to learn more about how you can work as a correctional officer and what factors influence how much you can expect to make. Schools offering Corrections degrees can also be found in these popular choices.
Job Description
As a correctional officer, you'll work in a jail or prison, overseeing those who have been sentenced to jail time or who are awaiting trial after being arrested. Your duties may include admitting new prisoners, supervising prisoners during their stay and releasing prisoners who have completed their sentences. You'll work to ensure that all laws, regulations and rules are followed by prisoners, other correctional officers and visitors.
In order to work in this position, you'll need a high school diploma. Some college coursework in criminal justice or a related field can be beneficial but is not likely to be required for entry-level positions. You'll probably need to pass a drug test and background check before starting work. Due to the challenging and stressful nature of working in a jail or prison, you'll also need to meet standards of both physical and mental health.
Salary Overview
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), correctional officers and jailers earned a mean hourly wage of $20.94 as of May 2012 (www.bls.gov). This translates into mean annual earnings of $43,550. The median salary at that time was $39,040 annually. The highest 10% of earners commanded yearly salaries of $69,610 or more, and the lowest 10% of earners commanded salaries of $27,000 or less.
Higher salaries are available to correctional officers in supervisory or managerial roles. Such positions are available to those professionals with experience and outstanding performance. Those working in these positions earned a mean annual salary of $60,970 as of May 2012, according to the BLS.
Salary by Employer
According to May 2012 BLS figures, correctional officers and jailers employed by the federal executive branch reported the highest salaries, with average earnings of around $25.67 an hour, or about $53,400 a year. State government paid an hourly average wage of $21.24, which totaled $44,180 a year. Local government had the third highest average wage of $20.50 an hour, which equaled $42,650 a year.
While state and local government had the highest employment levels, the facilities support services industry also employed many of these professionals. This industry's mean wage was $17.65 an hour, which was $36,710 annually.
Salary by Location
The BLS reported in May 2012 that Texas, California, New York, Florida and Pennsylvania had high correctional officer and jailer employment levels. Workers in the states made average wages of $34,720, $66,930, $61,140, $41,090 and $46,400, respectively. In addition, New York and California were included in the top five states for high wages. Other states with high average pay included New Jersey ($69,310), Massachusetts ($60,700) and Rhode Island ($58,690). Those employed in states that included Indiana, New Mexico, Georgia, Kentucky, Missouri and North Carolina made lower average salaries of $26,210-$32,570.
Salary by Years of Experience
According to January 2014 data from PayScale.com, correctional officers and jailers made $28,225-$35,819 if they had less than a year of work experience. With 1-4 years of experience, they made $24,658-$43,475. Salaries continue to rise to $26,028-$51,377 with 5-9 years of experience.
Job Outlook
The BLS reports that job growth for correctional officers is expected to be slow. Overall employment of five percent is expected from 2012 to 2022. This increase can be attributed to a need to replace correctional officers who leave the field or who retire. You should be aware, however, that reductions in mandatory minimum sentencing statutes will temper the need for additional correctional officers.

I'm doing Phase 1 on the South Beach Diet, so I'm planning to make this but will substitute an orange pepper and some mushrooms for the potato and carrot. I'll let you know how it turns out.
I made this the other day with turkey AND a can of beans. It was amazing. Going to make it again tonight, but with chicken. Wish me luck!
I've tried the recipes for Turkey and Kale Soup. This soup is delicious. The only vegetable that I've added to your recipy is cabbage and carrots. I'm new for using Kale so I appreciate all the good recipes you have on your web.
Thank you for introducing me to this great "Kale" food.
Congratulation for the great web.

Farming isn't new to Harrison County.
But when school began in August last year, so did a brand new agriculture program at Harrison County Middle School.
HCMS is now one of only a handful of middle schools in the state to have a Future Farmers of America (FFA) chapter and agriculture classes.
"It's been very popular," said HCMS principal Mike McIntire. "Students do better when they have some connection to the school beyond the regular school day... and this is just one activity that really wasn't touched on before..."
"The moment I heard 'earthquake,' I knew it was going to be bad," Avi Bear said Tuesday afternoon at his bakery off Oddville Avenue.
Having traveled to Haiti six years ago, for Avi, news of the Jan. 12 earthquake was personal.
"When you go and work with the people, you become part of the family," Avi said.
Now, as Haiti works to recover, Avi is doing what he can in Cynthiana to help the hundreds of children at the Good Shepherd orphanage and schools in Carrefour, just six miles west of Port-au-Prince.
Ann Getting said she can think of many deserving people that should be named Citizen of the Year.
But much to Getting's surprise, last Friday evening at the annual Cynthiana-Harrison County Chamber of Commerce banquet, she was awarded the title.
Also honored at Friday's banquet were Sheila Currans as Businessperson of the Year, Ron Harris as Volunteer of the Year, David Furnish as Farmer of the Year and Rick Dycus as Educator of the Year.
"I was quite stunned," Getting said in her office Tuesday afternoon.
Cynthiana City Commissioner Amanda Moore (R), has filed for the republican nomination to represent the citizens of southern Campbell, Pendleton, Robertson, and Harrison Counties in the state House of Representatives (HD 78).
Moore is a mother of two children, Whitney (10) and Carter (4). She is married to Shayne Moore, a Georgetown firefighter.
See this week's Cynthiana Democrat for her full announcement.
John Matthew Palmer has announced his candidacy for Cynthiana City Commissioner.
Palmer is currently residing on Battle Grove Avenue. He has one daughter, Shelby. Palmer is the son of Debbie Lemons Palmer and Gary and Delores Palmer. He is the grandson of the late Stanley T. and Louise Lemons and the late Kathleen B. Palmer.
Palmer was born and raised in Harrison County. He is a 1992 graduate of Harrison County High School. He has worked in industrial and logistics facilities for the last 17 years.
One might think Harrison County is home to this year's winter Olympics, with yet another winter storm dumping several more inches of snow early this week.
County Judge-Executive Alex Barnett said he estimated that northern parts of the county had received 10 inches of snow by Tuesday.
While Barnett said on Tuesday that county roads are now "passable," Monday morning's road conditions prompted him to issue a state of emergency for the county.
"The roads at that time were just in horrific shape," Barnett said.
Incumbent candidate William Fritz has filed for re-election for Harrison County District 6 magistrate. This includes Westside and Connersville voting precincts. He will be seeking his second term.
He is married to the former Charlene Parsons and they have two daughters, Beth (Jimmy) Withers and Leslie (Nick) McCarty. They have four grandchildren, Daniel and Katie Withers, and Nicholas and Matthew McCarty.
Fritz and his wife attend Unity Christian Church, where they have been members since childhood.
Mayor Jack Keith has announced that he has submitted the appropriate paperwork to be a candidate for the Cynthiana City Commission. Keith was first elected to the city commission in 2005. He was reelected two years later. As a result of the resignation of Mayor James A. Brown, Keith was voted in as mayor in May 2009. He has served in that capacity since that time. While Keith states he does not wish to run again for mayor, he is still vitally interested in the welfare of Cynthiana.
For his complete announcement, see this week's Cynthiana Democrat.
Shain Allen Stephens has announced his candidacy for Harrison County Sheriff.
Stephens, 44, is a life-long resident of Harrison County and a Democrat.
He and his wife, Rebecca, to whom he has been married for 21 years, have three children, Tiffani, Madison and Owen.
See his announcement in this week's Cynthiana Democrat.
Robert E. "Bob" Bathalter has filed to run for District Judge for the 18th Judicial District, which includes Pendleton, Harrison, Nicholas, and Robertson counties.
Bathalter was born and raised on a small farm in southern Campbell County, Ky. He moved to Pendleton County in 1970, where he and his wife, Donna, now live. He is the step-father of Jim Barnard of Hebron, Ky., and Jordan Pinkston of Charlotte, N.C.

All praise is due to Allah who granted us an opportunity to open a new chapter of hope and affect positive change by selecting a new president and successfully ending the transitional period on September 10, 2012. We ask Allah to help the new president lead us to peace, justice, complete sovereignty and unity insha Allah.
Your Excellency,
We, the undersigned Somali citizens both in the Diaspora and inside Somalia, are very pleased to write to you to congratulate you and to express our wholehearted support for your election as the President of the Federal Republic of Somalia. Your election brings to an end the reign of successive transitional governments and opens a new chapter of hope, justice, economic recovery, social cohesion, and the establishment of a permanent government in Somalia.
Your Excellency,
Your reputation as an untainted Somali intellectual and established social entrepreneur and your commitment to public service delivery at some of the most critical periods of Somalia were the basis for the overwhelming mandate conferred upon you by the Somali parliament and outpouring of support for your leadership from around the world. Both your election and the Somali people's full support for your Presidency should serve as an indication that the Somali people are determined to end anarchy and restore the rule of law throughout the country.
Our country is in extreme danger and difficulty which requires fresh minds filled with wisdom to tackle all the major problems facing our nation.
Therefore, we remind you that you always remember and fear Allah so that Allah will open doors of wisdom which will help you and your team come up with ways out of our two decade old crisis.
Your administration's success, and by extension, the future prospects of a prosperous and peaceful Somalia, will depend on how much you stay close to Allah. We remind you Allah's verse:
{And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allah, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allah will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allah has set a measure for all things.} (At-Talaq 65: 2-3
On different occasions you made powerful speeches in which you advocated for the need to attain a holistic change and transformation of our socio-economic and political landscape in order to imagine and realize a new Somalia. Therefore, Allah has just put power in your hands as a tool for your use to affect the change that you imagined. We passionately hope that you will wisely use this tool to establish a system of law and order which brings peace and stability and respects for human rights at every level in our society in Somalia.
We hope you will take lessons from the mistakes of previous governments. As such, we would like to conclude our letter with the following key proposals:
We are always ready to support you in all of your efforts to steer Somalia towards justice, good governance, and complete sovereignty.
Your sincerely,

Please register and login to be able to post in this message board.
I think dru should beat Carmen Mutha ****** *** !! For messing with her man like that and Neil weak ass need to quit playing hard because he no who's he going to be with in long run!!
I believe that Dru blew it with Neil so they should just divorce and move on. I think Carme and Neil make a cute couple and they should get together.
I do not like Carmen - she is unabashedly chasing after Neil and I hope he is not stupid enough to let her catch him.
Quote mechalay: I love Dru, but I hate the way the writers are depicting her with Carmen and Neil. The Dru I know would be like "see ya later"!! She is the most confident woman on the show as an actor and personally. Her confidence just shines through in her acting. I would love for Dru to kick Carmen's butt, however Dru is much better than Carmen. This thing should end with Dru and a hunky new man and let whiny Neil have the holier than thou Carmen. At first, Carmen was pursuing Neil, changing Dru's work schedule and doing everything in her power to get in Neil's bed. Now she acts as if she is this perfect angel. Dru has her number and I wish the writers would start writing her character like the strong, confident woman that she is!!
couldnt agree with you more. I know i've said this a million and a half times but "Dru needs to get with that chocolate piece of candy that walked into her office". That is the Dru we all know and love. Or at least make a "real" stand with Neil and make him decide. She is not that weak. That new cutie is obviously smart and successful, not to mention FINE!!!!! Damn, does 2 + 2 still equal 4??

Penn News
PHILADELPHIA -– Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have identified a new role for a protein molecule that inhibits the response of immune-system cells to inflammatory signals associated with many human diseases.
An international group of scientists, with lead researchers in Penn's School of Veterinary Medicine and School of Medicine,
has shown the unique ability of a protein subunit called IL-27p28 to
bind with a key cell receptor (gp130), effectively preventing it from
transmitting signals necessary for triggering an immune response.
Regulating the production of the molecule could lead to new, targeted
interventions for cancer, asthma, lupus, multiple sclerosis, arthritis
and other diseases... READ MORE

By: Dan Bazile
ALBANY - Mayor Jerry Jennings sent a signal Saturday that he may be interested in running for a sixth term.
He was among several citywide candidates that went before the Albany county Democratic Party to seek their approval to run for office.
Jennings took time out of his busy Tulip Fest schedule for a pit stop at the Albany County Democratic Headquarters on Colvin Avenue.
"I'm still the mayor. There's a process. I'm participating in the process. I'm looking forward to talking to the 15 ward leaders here," said Jennings.
The party leaders were interviewing candidates for Family Court Judge, County Clerk, County Coroner and those seeking to be Mayor of the City of Albany.
But Jennings fell short of saying whether his visit with the leaders means the start of his campaign for a sixth term.
"Basically I'm looking at everything, I really am. I just want to make sure I do the right thing for my family, myself and basically the city," he said.
There are plenty others who already made it public they want his job. They were there too, explaining to the Democratic Party why they should get the designation to run.
"The most important thing is I've been a lifelong Democrat. I've never wavered on that. I've always challenged the city government from day one," said Corey Ellis, a mayoral candidate.
For Ellis this is a sequel. Four years ago, he got 44 percent of the primary vote against Jennings.
Albany city Treasurer Kathy Sheehan is also running. She would be the city's first female mayor if she wins.
And Community Activist Marlon Anderson also wants to be Albany's chief executive, he understands some people don't take him seriously.
"I'm here as the anti politician candidate. I'm trying to convey the message that people are really looking for change in the community," said Marlon Anderson, another mayoral candidate.
As for Jennings, many say the fact that he showed up for the party's conference, makes it clear he's seriously thinking about a sixth term.
"After 20 years I can take my time and do what's right. As far as I'm concerned, I'm vetting it, I'm looking at it. I'm making some decisions," said Jennings.

Hotel Silver HomeKathmandu, Nepal
Brilliant staff, good location, happily extended my stay. Hope the staff fixes the locker problem in the dormitory: one key shouldn't work in two different lockers.
Anjali InnMumbai, India
Amazing staff and nice AC dorm! Fast free wifi. Excellent free airport pickup even early in the morning. Location good when flying in/out of BOM. Recommend the restaurant of the fancy looking hotel right on the other side of the road.
Safestay London Elephant & CastleLondon, England
S´thing btwn a hotel and a hostel, not too bad.

Instead of free TOAST 24/7 I´d rather use the money e.g. for the CLEANING: for how long time had the smoke alarm of our room been blocked by toilet paper?!

Home away from home. Recommend.

Not nice to listen to the mice running in between the walls, the property cold and dirty. The reception didn´t work smoothly.
Palmers Lodge - Hillspring at Willesden GreenLondon, England
What a field trip factory! The young kids totally took over the place - not so relaxing for the others, to be honest.
Hostal Mari�a BonitaSan Cristobal de las Casas, Mexico
Definitely recommendable.
El QuijoteOaxaca, Mexico
Never ever again to this place. The location is far from Zocalo and for that reason not nice to get back to when walking alone at night. The owner a bit heavy with his tour thing and why not to charge you another 30 pesos for the day safe of you backpack...

Absolutely amazing hosts! I sure need to go back to Cuba just to meet these people again. Thank you ever so much!
