I'm the blue fairy, i heared you have a wish?
Well, no. I'm not the blue fairy, neither a Jinn or a Frog with magical powers. And it's unlikely that you will ever come across one of the above. So...how about you do something, instead of wishing? How about now, instead of tomorrow?
Right now.

The museum is located in the only known structure in the nation that was designed, devoted to and operated as a separate station house and municipal court for African-Americans. In September 1944, the first black patrolmen were sworn in as emergency policemen to enforce the law in what was then called the 'Central Negro District.' The precinct building opened in May 1950 to provide a station house for the black policemen and a courtroom for black judges in which to adjudicate black defendants. The building operated from 1950 until its closing in 1963. (Photo by Joe Raedle/Getty Images)

After receiving a fifty-cent hourly pay raise for his recent Crisis Intervention Team certification, East Carbon Police Chief Sam Leonard surprised city council officials Tuesday by asking them to pass the increase on to East Carbon receptionist Bessie Powell. The council unanimously affirmed Leonard's request.
"I would like Bessie to get the money," he said, "because she's under-appreciated. She does a lot for me."
"I agree with Sam and I also have Bessie do quite a bit for me as a city council person," said Council Member David Maggio. "I appreciate your sentiment and I agree wholeheartedly that what you're doing is a good thing."
Powell joined the city in 2002 and has gone without a raise for the past two years as the city has kept a wage freeze on office employees over that period. In addition to serving as the city's clerk, working for local police and the council, Powell also serves as the East Carbon Justice Court's Deputy Clerk.
With Leonard's CIT certification, the East Carbon Department became the only police force in the Castle Country to have 100 percent of its officers trained to deal with a situation involving a person experiencing a mental health crisis.

The Best of It: New and Selected Poemsby Kay Ryan
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Kay Ryan's current appointment as the sixteenth Poet Laureate of the United States is the latest in a cascade of accolades that have finally caught up with a poet who has always found her own way—both in the poetry she writes and the quiet life she has preferred. Over the years critics have noted that each new book of poems by Kay Ryan reads like a "selected" in its intensity. Now, in the much anticipated The Best of It: New and Selected Poems, Kay Ryan further distills this supremely achieved body of work. Here is the poet's own selection of more than two hundred poems, offering both longtime followers and new readers a stunning retrospective of her earlier work as well as a generous selection of powerful new poems. The result is a major event in American poetry.
"Ryan...may well be the oddest and wisest poet to hold that prestigious post. Her tiny, skinny poems back a punch unlike anything else in contemporary poetry, though not unlike haiku, if haiku could be cut with a dash of Groucho Marx. This, her first retrospective volume, which also contains a book's worth of new poems, is a much-needed introduction to the work of one of our best and most accessible poets. She asks the necessary questions hiding just beneath the obvious ones…Pithy poems manage to encapsulate far more than their few words should hold...Sassy, smart and deep as they are hilarious, Ryan's poems are among the best." Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)(Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
2011 Pulitzer Price Winner for Poetry:
"Awarded to The Best of It: New and Selected Poems, by Kay Ryan (Grove Press), a body of work spanning 45 years, witty, rebellious and yet tender, a treasure trove of an iconoclastic and joyful mind." Pulitzer.com
"Everything [Ryans] eye falls upon takes on a brisk, beautifully complete clarity. Her tidy lines disguise an enormous intelligence and tonal warmth: a ferocious capacity for finding the essence of things. The Best of It reveals that right before our eyes Ryan has become a classic American poet" John Freeman, Los Angeles Times
"Ryan's poems are as slim as runway models, so tiny you could almost tweet them...Her voice is quizzical and impertinent, funny in uncomfortable ways, scuffed by failure and loss. Her mastery, like Emily Dickinson's, has some awkwardness in it, some essential gawkiness that draws you close... you can't help consuming [her] poems quickly, the way you are supposed to consume freshly made cocktails: while they are still smiling at you. But you immediately double back—what was that?—and their moral and intellectual bite blindsides you." Dwight Garner, The New York Times
"[Ryan] has the uncanny ability to construct a tiny word-mechanism that produces the experience of genuine wonder." Steven Ratiner, The Washington Post
"Kay Ryan [is] among the geniuses... celebrated... for her clear style that puts her in the company of Robert Frost." Nick Owchar, Los Angeles Times
"The Best of It displays an astounding consistency of tone and quality...[Her] gifts call to mind some illustrious predecessors, including Dickinson, Stevens, Moore and Frost. Despite the echoes, though, Ryan is so arresting and genuinely original that her book stays in the mind in a way unlike much contemporary poetry, so often impenetrable and self-absorbed. In today's world of exploding self-expression and relentless ephemera, Kay Ryan sticks." Michael Lindgren, Cleveland Plain-Dealer
"[Ryan's] work is concise, exquisitely crafted, and explores the landscape of the mind...The Best of It lives up to its promise and has the potential to change the way many American poets think and write." Elizabeth Lund, Christian Science Monitor
"Pithy poems manage to encapsulate far more than their few words should hold...Sassy, smart and deep as they are hilarious, Ryan's poems are among the best." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Droll, exquisite, weirdly stupendous poems...[they] are brief, seemingly offhand. But they go off in the head like firecrackers. Ryan's on the zip line to Parnassus." Terry Castle, author of The Professor and Other Writings, San Francisco Chronicles Summer Reading Recommendations
"[Ryan's] most startling discovery is that melancholy, with its tendency to brood and spread, is best contained in a form that is tight, witty, almost sprightly sounding. Her poems are often built on the logic of the pun, taking an ordinary word or dead cliche; as a title and then jolting it to unexpected life. Adam Kirsch, The New Yorker
"Ryan is one of the few contemporary poets to have imitators because she is one of the few truly compelling stylists now at work. Her voice is authoritative, confident, unfussy, exacting...she is astutely reserved, watchful, and understands that no one is special in his or her grief...So many "new and selected" volumes come out each year, but The Best of It is rare in being truly the best of the poets work so far. Kay Ryan is so disarming, so fresh and original, that she has earned her recent reputation as one of the very best poets among us." David Mason, The Hudson Review
"If the job of poetry is to distill language and experience, there are few greater contemporary masters of the form than Ryan...[Her work] never fails to surprise, enlighten and delight." Carmela Ciuraru, Newsday
"Ryan is the poet of the possible, who keeps to the edges of words and thoughts, leaving emotions for others to find...[her poetry] is singular, playful as well as serious, forcing us to prick up our ears and listen." Bob Hoover, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"Melancholy lucidity is Ryan's greatest gift, and it can be heard in all her most successful poems. But her most startling discovery is that melancholy, with its tendency to brood and spread, is best contained in a form that is tight, witty, almost sprightly sounding. Her poems are often built on the logic of the pun, taking an ordinary word or dead cliche´ as a title and then jolting it to unexpected life." Adam Kirsch, The New Yorker
"A lifelong Californian (and US poet laureate from 2008-2010), Ryan creates poetry that is spare, laconic, awash with word play, but with a fierceness underneath. This collection frames the brilliance of her career." David L. Ulin, LA Times
Kay Ryan's recently concluded two-year term as the Library of Congress's sixteenth poet laureate is just the latest in an amazing array of accolades for this wonderfully accessible, widely loved poet—her awards include the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize from the Poetry Foundation, four Pushcart Prizes, and a Guggenheim fellowship. Ryan's The Best of It: New and Selected Poems has garnered lavish praise. The two hundred poems in The Best of It offer a stunning retrospective of her work, as well as a swath of never-before-published poems—all of which are sure to appeal equally to longtime fans and general readers.
About the Author
Kay Ryan served as Poet Laureate of the United States from 2008 through 2010. She has long lived in Marin County, California.

Video: Investigative Post: Heart of the City
Jim Heaney, editor of Investigative Post, our watchdog reporting partner, earlier this week interviewed Stephanie Simeon, executive director of Heart of the City, a non-profit housing development corporation that operates on the Lower West Side.
Heart of the City's service area includes the poorest Census tract in Western New York.
Heaney and Simeon discussed crime, poverty and health problems on the Lower West Side, the failure of corporate leadership in the city and the reason why Buffalo has relatively few black professionals.
A full transcript of the interview is available on the Investigative Post website.

Unveil Tank (Women's) (out-of-stock)

Made from 100% organic cotton, the delicate check pattern of the Unveil Tank is heavenly, and the weave is so light it practically hovers. Yet it's the details that elevate it to more than a typical summer shirt: the back has a knit panel so the tank moves comfortably when you do; adjustable drawcords allow it to be subtly shaped and we gave it a poplin camisole lining so you can enjoy the feeling of near nakedness without revealing a thing.

The community of East Elmhurst enjoys some of the best features of Queens living: tree-lined streets, excellent transportation, close proximity to Manhattan, two airports, Shea Stadium, and a branch of the Queens Library System.
The East Elmhurst community is a young and small community that was carved out off the Jackson Heights and Corona areas. One, two, and three family homes make up the architecture of the community. Some high rise apartments provide additional housing for a bursting community. At one time the area was mainly beach and recreational land space. The neighborhood of East Elmhurst has seen profound and rapid demographic changes over the years. The eastern Europeans who first settled in the area have since yielded to other populations including Italian, Greek, and Spanish-Americans, African Americans, and Haitians. More recent groups include Asians and Eastern Indians.
The East Elmhurst Branch opened for business in June of 1912 and was known as the Louona Park Library. Like many branches of the Queens Library system, the East Elmhurst Branch has claimed many different locations as its home over the years. Unlike the others, though, every time the branch changed its location, it also changed its name. It was renamed the Northern Boulevard Library when it moved to Northern Boulevard in May of 1927. In 1942 the library found a new home at 90th Street and Astoria Boulevard and brought with it the new but peculiar appellation of North Beach Library. The branch assumed its current name when a new city owned building was erected in 1972 at its present home at 95-06 Astoria Boulevard.
For many years, the East Elmhurst Branch was one of Queens Library's five Community Neighborhood Information Centers, offering referral services to people in need. This service was largely used by older adults who needed the aid of city agencies and community organizations, and young mothers who were seeking information on day care centers and schools. The branch continues to serve as a depository for the City's Department of Environmental Protection materials about the ongoing Flushing Bay project.
Over the years the East Elmhurst library has had the flavor of a "community center" which numerous community groups used as their monthly meeting place. Satisfying cultural needs goes hand-in-hand with fulfilling the informational needs of the branch's steady stream of small business owners, retailers, construction, airport workers, and students.
The East Elmhurst branch enjoys top ranking in sessions and attendance for its delivery of cultural, musical, and informational type programs. East Elmhurst is known for its large number of famous artists of all genres. An impressive number of branch programming originates from the community.
Among the many unique and outstanding programs and activities taking place at the East Elmhurst Library over the years, three memorable ones include: Former Mayor David Dinkins' use of the library for the filming of his last mayoral campaign commercial which included issuing to him a Queens library card; the celebration of the library's 100th anniversary in 1996; and the recipient of a Plaque for the New York Times' first Librarian Award in September, 2001.
A unique and successful feature of the East Elmhurst Community Library's services is its mission of "Keeping Jazz Alive in Louis Armstrong's Neighborhoods". A grant from the Louis Armstrong Educational Foundation Inc. makes it possible for Jazz artists, performers, and workshop presenters from throughout the Metropolitan area to help us accomplish our mission. The Louis Armstrong House is located in Corona, but is in walking distance to the East Elmhurst Community Library .

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
The question may sound funny but it is no joke. It has public safety implications that came to light earlier this month at the Peerless Port of Entry.
Jason Llewelyn, the county's public safety coordinator, told county commissioners last week that is was surprising how many truck drivers are not fluent in English.
Llewelyn and a few state safety officials had set up a 24-hour hazardous materials traffic flow survey at the port to get some idea of how much poisonous, flammable, explosive and otherwise harmful stuff is moving along the highway.
Of the 1,560 rigs surveyed, 208 were carrying some sort of hazardous material. The estimated total flow was about 5 million pounds.
Of some concern was the finding that 63 had no idea what they were carrying. Others may have known they were carrying something but did not know how much, he said.
While the survey questions dealt with the type and quantity of hazmats aboard, there was no checkmark on the list for "language spoken." Llewelyn told commissioners that maybe half of the truckers could speak fluent English.
The rest spoke a mix of foreign languages. Llewelyn said it might be a good idea to compile a data base of foreign language speakers in the county, so that dispatchers could contact them in case of an emergency involving a non-English speaker.
Commissioner Jae Potter agreed, and is working on the suggestion.

I recently joined AirSplat's Elite program and I am not disappointed. I bought an M4 that was on sale from the Guns of Grand Theft Auto and I got 30% off! Not only that, their customer service was extremely helpful!

AirSplat is awesome. Great service at their Los Angeles store. Way better than other retailers in the area as they greet you, talk to you and help you out right away. No customer numbers, no cold shoulders, no elitism. AirSplat you have my business.

I was curious about AirSplat's Elite Membership, so I called their store to inquire. The rep was extremely helpful and set me up with an account. So far we have been coming back to AirSplat for our extra 10% off and free shipping deal. I really have not seen any other loyalty type programs with airsoft companies. This one trumps them all!
Petyr L.
AirSplat knows whats up. Airsoft guns for cheap and sales all the time. More airsoft = more players out there in the community! You have my support!
Derek L.
I drove out to AirSplat's LA store and was treated like royalty. I told them I drove from Nevada to see the store and they hooked me up with an AirSplat T-Shirt and Hat!

After starting their Region 12 schedule with a 3-0 record, a recent three-game losing streak is putting the Carbon High Dinos baseball in a tough position with four games to play.
In their second game against Spanish Fork last week, Carbon fell to the region-leading Dons 4-1 on the road. Carbon and Spanish Fork kept things close through the first five innings before the Dons put four runs on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning. Carbon added one run in the top of the seventh inning but were unable to mount a comeback.
Now Carbon enters the final part of their schedule with four games, including two at home and two on the road.
Carbon (11-6, 3-3 Region 12) will begin with a home game today against Payson (12-6, 5-1 Region 12) at 3:30 p.m. The game provides a chance for Carbon to defeat a team ahead of them in the standings. Carbon will then travel to Payson on Thursday before finishing up the final week of the regular season with a home game against North Sanpete on Tuesday May 1 followed by a road game in North Sanpete on May 3.
