As the council person over the East Carbon Fire Department and I feel the people of East Carbon/Columbia should know what is going on.
Today we have 12 firemen that are dedicated to East Carbon and Columbia also helping out Sunnyside when called. I am very proud of these firemen and have tried to give them everything that I can get to help us have the best of equipment to serve the people of the city.
But there is a problem. The decision of the seventh board member to put the new rescue building in Sunnyside has upset the the East Carbon firemen. Some of them told the mayor and council of East Carbon that it is wrong for them to have to go to Sunnyside and then return to East Carbon to fight a fire,
I ask, why do this when we have an adequate housing unit for our trucks and equipment in East Carbon. Time in response to a fire is crucial to homeowners.
I believe Sunnyside does need a new building and that they should receive the grant money to build it.
On the other hand I think East Carbon City should back off of this grant. As a council person you and your homes mean more to me than the money.
As the senior council person for East Carbon I only hope the people of East Carbon/Columbia will work to save our fire department and our city.
Over the years I have served with Paul Clark for four years, Dale Andrews for four years and now Orlando LaFontaine.
As I have said I am proud of the town's firemen and will fight to keep them. To me no building is worth losing these fine men.
The opinions of the East Carbon and Columbia residents need to be heard. Please attend the next council meeting on July 10 at 6:30 and let the mayor and the council members know how you feel.

Three people were resentenced to jail terms Friday in Jefferson County Court after admitting they violated their probation terms.
Nichole M. Bell, 21, Watertown, was resentenced to nine months in the Metro-Jefferson Public Safety Building after admitting she violated a five-year term of probation imposed in September resulting from a guilty plea in July to third-degree robbery. She admitted that on May 2 she forcibly stole merchandise from Kmart, 21110 Pioneer Plaza. Police said at the time that an employee was injured in an attempt to prevent the shoplifting. Information about what led to the probation violation was not available from the court.
Diane A. Graves, 42, Watertown, was resentenced to six months in the PSB for violating a three-year term of probation imposed in February 2010 for a conviction of third-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument. She admitted that she forged a personal check belonging to Donna J. Draper and cashed it in August 2009 in the town of Watertown for $600. Information about what led to the probation violation was not available.
Charles W. Camidge, 43, Watertown, was resentenced to four months in the PSB for violating a three-year term of probation imposed in July 2010 for a conviction of third-degree attempted criminal sex act. He had been accused of attempting to forcibly engage in a sexual act with a 19-year-old woman in August 2009. Information about how he violated probation was not available.
In other court activity:
James M. Serrano, 19, Bronx, was sentenced to an unspecified amount of time served at the PSB and five years probation after pleading guilty Feb. 10 to fifth-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. He admitted that he possessed heroin with the intent to sell the drug in September 2011 in Watertown. His probation supervision will be transferred to Bronx County.
Chad A. Countryman, 20, whose last known address was 70848 Shepard St., pleaded guilty to third-degree attempted burglary. He was charged with entering the Huntington Street apartment of Rochelle Cornaire on Oct. 27 without her permission.
Police said at the time that the victim reported her 26-inch flat-screen television and a long skateboard had been stolen. Mr. Countryman is due to be sentenced Feb. 19.

The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindnessby Michelle Alexander
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
The New Jim Crow was initially published with a modest first printing and reasonable expectations for a hard-hitting book on a tough topic. Now, ten-plus printings later, the long-awaited paperback version of the book Lani Guinier calls brave and bold," and Pulitzer Prizewinner David Levering Lewis calls stunning," will at last be available.
In the era of colorblindness, it is no longer socially permissible to use race, explicitly, as a justification for discrimination, exclusion, and social contempt. Yet, as legal star Michelle Alexander reveals, today it is perfectly legal to discriminate against convicted criminals in nearly all the ways that it was once legal to discriminate against African Americans. Once you're labeled a felon, the old forms of discrimination — employment discrimination, housing discrimination, denial of the right to vote, denial of educational opportunity, denial of food stamps and other public benefits, and exclusion from jury service — are suddenly legal.
Featured on The Tavis Smiley Show, Bill Moyers Journal, Democracy Now, and C-Spans Washington Journal, The New Jim Crow has become an overnight phenomenon, sparking a much-needed conversation—including a recent mention by Cornel West on Real Time with Bill Maher — about ways in which our system of mass incarceration has come to resemble systems of racial control from a different era.
"Devastating....Alexander does a fine job of truth-telling, pointing a finger where it rightly should be pointed: at all of us, liberal and conservative, white and black." Forbes
"Alexander is absolutely right to fight for what she describes as a much-needed conversation" about the wide-ranging social costs and divisive racial impact of our criminal-justice policies." Newsweek
"Invaluable...a timely and stunning guide to the labyrinth of propaganda, discrimination, and racist policies masquerading under other names that comprises what we call justice in America." Daily Kos
"Many critics have cast doubt on the proclamations of racisms erasure in the Obama era, but few have presented a case as powerful as Alexander's." In These Times
"Carefully researched, deeply engaging, and thoroughly readable." Publishers Weekly
"[Written] with rare clarity, depth, and candor." Counterpunch
"A call to action for everyone concerned with racial justice and an important tool for anyone concerned with understanding and dismantling this oppressive system." Sojourners
"Undoubtedly the most important book published in this century about the U.S." Birmingham News
Once in a great while a book comes along that changes the way we see the world and helps to fuel a nationwide social movement. The New Jim Crow is such a book. Praised by Harvard Law professor Lani Guinier as "brave and bold," this book directly challenges the notion that the election of Barack Obama signals a new era of colorblindness. With dazzling candor, legal scholar Michelle Alexander argues that "we have not ended racial caste in America; we have merely redesigned it." By targeting black men through the War on Drugs and decimating communities of color, the U.S. criminal justice system functions as a contemporary system of racial control—relegating millions to a permanent second-class status — even as it formally adheres to the principle of colorblindness. In the words of Benjamin Todd Jealous, president and CEO of the NAACP, this book is a "call to action."
Called "stunning" by Pulitzer Prize–winning historian David Levering Lewis, "invaluable" by the Daily Kos, "explosive" by Kirkus, and "profoundly necessary" by the Miami Herald, this updated and revised paperback edition of The New Jim Crow, now with a foreword by Cornel West, is a must-read for all people of conscience.
About the Author
Michelle Alexander is an associate professor of law at Ohio State University and holds a joint appointment at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity. Formerly the director of the ACLUs Racial Justice Project in Northern California, Alexander served as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Harry A. Blackmun.
Cornel West is the Class of 1943 University Professor at Princeton University.

Pemphigus is a group of rare skin disorders that cause blisters of your skin or mucous membranes, such as in your mouth or on your genitals.
There are two main types: pemphigus vulgaris and pemphigus foliaceus. Pemphigus vulgaris is the most common form. Pemphigus can occur at any age, but often strikes people in middle age or older.
Usually a chronic condition, pemphigus is best controlled by early diagnosis and treatment, which may include medications or treatments similar to those used for severe burns.
Pemphigus is characterized by blisters on your skin and mucous membranes. The blisters rupture easily, leaving open sores, which may ooze and become infected. The signs and symptoms of the main types of pemphigus differ depending on the type:
See your doctor if you develop blisters inside your mouth or on your skin. If you've already been diagnosed with pemphigus and are receiving treatment, see your doctor if you develop any of the following:
Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder, and in most cases, it's unknown what triggers the disease.
Normally, your immune system attacks foreign invaders, such as harmful viruses and bacteria. But in pemphigus, your immune system mistakenly produces antibodies that attack healthy cells in your skin and mucous membranes.
Sometimes, pemphigus develops as a side effect of certain medications, such as certain blood pressure drugs or chelating agents. This type of pemphigus usually disappears when the medicine is stopped.
Pemphigus isn't contagious, and there's no way to predict who'll get it. However, your risk increases if you're middle-aged or older.
Possible complications of pemphigus include:
You're likely to first see your primary care doctor. However, you may then be referred to a doctor who specializes in skin disorders (dermatologist).
Because appointments can be brief, and there's often a lot of ground to cover, it's a good idea to arrive well prepared. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Your time with your doctor may be limited, so preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time together. For pemphigus, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask any questions that may occur to you during your appointment.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may reserve time to go over any points you want to spend more time on. Your doctor may ask:
Because it's uncommon and because blisters occur with a number of conditions, pemphigus can be difficult to diagnose. Your doctor will ask you for a complete medical history and examine your skin and mouth. In addition, he or she may also:
Treatment, which aims at reducing signs and symptoms and preventing complications, is generally more effective when it begins as early as possible. Treatment includes medications, and sometimes, hospitalization.
Medications may be used alone or in combination with each other to treat pemphigus. Commonly prescribed drugs include:
Additionally, other medications that alter the immune system, such as dapsone and intravenous immunoglobulin, may be prescribed.
If your pemphigus isn't too widespread, you can usually stay at home for treatment. But, widespread pemphigus may require you to stay in the hospital. The open sores make you highly vulnerable to infection, which, if it spreads to your bloodstream, can be fatal. Along with the medications listed above, you may be given:
In about one-third of cases, treatment makes all of the blisters and sores disappear completely, and treatment can be stopped. Others take a lower dose of the medications indefinitely or their signs and symptoms will return.
Here are steps you can take to improve your skin and overall health:
To help you cope with this debilitating and potentially embarrassing disease, as well as the effects of the drugs used for treatment, you may find it helpful to talk to others with the condition. You can find in-person or virtual support groups. Ask your dermatologist if there are any groups in your area or contact the International Pemphigus & Pemphigoid Foundation (IPPF).

Read: The Penguins Are Taking Charge To End The Lockout
It was reported last night by Rob Rossi that over the past few weeks Sidney Crosby and Penguins owner Ron Burkle had been in discussions about how to bridge the gap between the players and owners and end the lockout.
Rossi also reported that Burkle and Crosby, with his agent, flew into NY together from LA.
Elliotte Friedman writes at CBC that the Penguins have long been upset with the pace of negotiations and "It's clear that they arrived in New York City with a plan to get things back on the rails. While details are still to come, Burkle and Crosby were two major parts of yesterday's discussion. They crafted an agenda and discussed how to implement it."
Nick Cotsonika tweets "Can see why Burkle positive influence. Rode elevator with him last night. Introduced himself as "Ron." Wearing sneakers, jeans today. Burkle obviously has strong background in business, labor relations, but has common touch. Approachable. Helps at times like this."
Pierre LeBrun writes at ESPN.com that Burkle and Mario Lemieux were constantly talking with Crosby's agent Pat Brisson about ways to end the lockout. He adds "Combined with a similar desire shared by Crosby to do everything possible to save a season, the Penguins owner and his superstar captain put their best feet forward Tuesday in an attempt to push things back in the right direction."
Adam Rotter: Burkle was the right guy at the right time to come into talks and it makes sense since the best and most important player in the league plays for him. That being said, had James Dolan been in the room yesterday I think many of the stories would be about how he and Brad Richards are making the big strides to end the lockout.

MASSENA - A 22-year-old Massena woman has been fined and ordered to perform 15 hours of community service after admitting her role in shoplifting nearly $215 worth of merchandise from Walmart.
Massena Village Justice Eric J. Gustafson fined Donna L. Doman of 35 Parker Ave. $75 and a $125 surcharge after a petit larceny count was reduced to disorderly conduct. She was also placed under a one-year conditional discharge with a stipulation she perform 15 hours of community service.
Doman and Kara L. Lapointe, 28, of 106 Bishop Ave., Massena, had been charged with petit larceny at 8:20 p.m. Jan. 24 after they allegedly shoplifted $214.94 worth of merchandise from Walmart. Lapointe was additionally charged with possession of a hypodermic instrument.
The stores loss prevention associates told police they had watched the two women place several items inside two purses, cover those purses with coats and then walk past the last point of sale without paying for the items.
They charged Doman had attempted to shoplift seven pairs of underwear, a bra and two six-packs of socks. She also reportedly grabbed bags from an empty register, placed two pairs of footwear in the bags and attempted to leave the store without paying for those items as well.
In other recent court action before Judge Gustafson:
■ Ruth A. Petra, 55, of 49 1/2 Maple St., Lot 20, Massena, was granted an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal with a stipulation she perform 15 hours of community service.
She had been charged with petit larceny at 2:33 p.m. Jan. 12 after police responded to a shoplifting complaint at Walmart. She was accused of shoplifting two shirts, a bra, 13 bottles of nail polish and an 8 gig Sandisc. The merchandise was valued at $146.24.
■ Kristen P. Bevins, 20, of 33 Grantville Road, Norfolk, was sentenced to time served and ordered to pay a $25 fine and a $125 surcharge after a petit larceny count was reduced to a disorderly conduct violation.
Village police had charged Bevins with petit larceny at 3:59 p.m. Aug. 27 after she allegedly shoplifted nail polish, Crest Whitening Toothpaste, Nexxus hair products and a Clorox bleach pen from Price Chopper.
Her co-defendant, Mildred M. Felix, 43, of 33 Grantville Road, Norfolk, had also been charged with petit larceny in that same incident after she allegedly shoplifted tampons, toothpaste and an air freshener from Price Chopper.
The merchandise was valued at $52.04.

Stephen Moore column: Out grounds & floodlit first-class games
There have been many conversations from different corners of the cricketing spectrum about where the future of the game lies.
For me this was highlighted in some of the questions I have received recently, which I have endeavoured to answer.
Over the last two years, due to the development of our ground, we have played nearly all our championship cricket at venues around the county.
The benefit of this is that we have received wonderful support from people who would not usually be able to make it to Emirates Old Trafford.
It is great as a player to experience that, but due to budgets in county cricket being so tight, the cost of moving a match often makes it prohibitive.
You have to bear in mind that considerable investment has to be committed to the club ground in the months and years prior to the match taking place.
Stephen Moore
"Day-night Test and first-class cricket just might allow matches to fit into the modern working life, and make the game more accessible to a wider market"
Everyone wants to see a closely-contested match lasting four days, and the pitch and the facilities need to be able to provide that experience for first-class players and supporters alike.
Questions not only about where matches are played, but when have also been heavily debated over the last few years.
I have been fortunate enough to have been involved in two day-night first-class matches played in Abu Dhabi in conjunction with the MCC. The experience was great.
Although there are still some issues with how to make the format work so it provides equal conditions for both sides, for me it shows the kind of thinking that is required to keep cricket as one of the major entertainment sports in the future.
Technology has influenced our lives so much over the last few years, and all this is utilised by coaches, physiotherapists and trainers to make the the county cricketer a vastly more professional sportsman than he was a decade ago.
Day-night Test and first-class cricket just might allow matches to fit into the modern working life, and make the game more accessible to a wider market.
Ultimately though, the competition needs to be identifiable to a modern audience, and marketed as such.
Stephen Moore at a glance
- Born in South Africa
- Aged 32 (4 November 1980)
- Opening right-handed batsman
- Lancashire debut in 2010
- Previous club: Worcestershire (2003-09)
- Scored 120 against touring Australians for England Lions in 2009
Changing the regulations every year only makes this task harder to achieve.
I would argue that unless there is consistency in decision making and regulations, it is very difficult to build lasting support.
This is highlighted in the YB40 competition that has just started this past bank holiday weekend.
It has been decided that this year there will not be a bowling powerplay and fielding restrictions have also changed.
Surely, considering this is the last year the competition is going to be played, as it does not reflect any international format, tinkering with the regulations only serves to confuse players and supporters who have started to get used to the original format?
It is important to stress, however, that any likely evolution in domestic cricket will be driven from the international environment, but I for one would love to see a day in the future where England internationals are seen more regularly in their county strips.
This would not only raise the profile but also the standard of all county competitions.
One option, that has already been suggested, is to implement a franchise-style system into the domestic structure, if only for Twenty20 cricket.
This might bring new finances into the county game, which are not reliant on Team England.
In my opinion, a more independent county game could only have a positive effect on English cricket.
With all this in mind, and as I watch Emirates Old Trafford evolve and become a truly great stadium, I cannot help but think that when it is full for the Ashes, the spectacle, atmosphere, and skills on display will help to inspire a new generation of young cricketers.
Surely that goal has to be the heart beat of all governing bodies, clubs, and players.

and you want a franchise? I wonder why. you think you be 1 of the 8 picked out of 18 for it?? oh yes more money in your bank. do it. in front of empty grounds or sterilised atmosphere, no thought for the real cricket fans just your bank account. and you wonder why no 1 watches county cricket
Comment number 18. Posted by meon 10 May 2013 22:31
I mean who pays 18 quid to watch county cricket per day. turn up at tea watch a 1/3 of the day for free. same with non league football conference/north/south and below. after 20 mins most turnstiles unmanned just walk in for free. save yourself 12-15 quid and u miss 20 mins.
Comment number 17. Posted by meon 10 May 2013 22:21
and remember from tea its free to walk into any county ground to watch last 2 hours anyway. so now with floodlights u will charge people to get in after 3 pm ok. and I like to the person in charge checking peoples tickets session by session lol. I hate the after tea session mad parents bringin hyper kids to run around like loonies until they get so unruly and bored they finally leave after 30mins
Comment number 16. Posted by meon 10 May 2013 22:11
all county games should be played at out grounds. county grounds should be kept for 20/20 and as for floodlite county games. say played from 3pm till 10 pm? how will that attract more people then. all oaps that fill grounds for county games are going home from 3-5 pm to sleep. so grounds be even more empty or full of screaming lawless kids that will finally go home at 7pm when its bed time.
Comment number 15. Posted by professorfarton 10 May 2013 20:32
The key with day/night FC games is that it at least offers many people the chance to watch a bit of cricket who couldn't go usually. Charging by the session would be the way to go once all trials had been done.
'Who passes CC grounds?" Well in the case of OT, it's slap bang next to a main commuter station between Mcr and Altringham so I'd say a good few do. I can think of a fair few others too...
Comment number 14. Posted by christianon 10 May 2013 19:00
I remember that day well Dom. Didn't you manage to get your Slazenger V100 signed by most of the players too?
Fairbrother was a gent as were all the others and Stanley Park has a great atmosphere that's almost Colesseum like (slight exaggeration).
I don't think it's a coincidence that we won the league away from OT
Comment number 13. Posted by Peter Lankyon 10 May 2013 18:39
I don't think there is a remote chance of getting young people to watch 4 day cricket unless there is cricket on the TV to relate to. Tinker with the game as much as you want, but few people are going to watch something they've never seen before unless they are exposed to it first.
In one day cricket the rise and fall of large crowds at Old T corresponded to the level of Sunday coverage on BBC2.
Comment number 12. Posted by Dominicon 10 May 2013 14:08
As a kid, I was able to watch Lancs at Lytham or Blackpool. I got to see greats like Akram and Atherton - who I watched score his highest score at Stanley Park. The players also walked round saying hi through the day and it was a great atmosphere. I remember playing with some young children only to find their dad was Neil Fairbrother! You don't get those memories and experiences at Old Trafford.
Comment number 11. Posted by TUFC_Yellow Armyon 10 May 2013 08:34
As for the day/night games, I would believe that the idea is to attract the younger generation back to the longer format. If you had sessions ending around 8/9PM and charge less for people who turn up around 5PM, you could get families finding that more affordable than a T20 game. Given the ECB tinker with CC Div 2 (Tiflex/Pink balls), maybe they could trial it there first?
Comment number 10. Posted by Eduards_Fanboy_Woes aka derwaldmannon 10 May 2013 08:32
I just don't think that using out-grounds can now be justified in this day and age.
My team, Notts have one of the finest grounds and facilities in the world at Trent Bridge, yet until a couple of seasons ago they would hold at least two matches a year at either Worksop or Newark on pitches that were, at best, challenging.
Comment number 9. Posted by TUFC_Yellow Armyon 10 May 2013 08:23
@7 - I think there is a vast difference in creating pitches good enough for a one day game compared to one able to last 4 days. Preparing a pitch does not happen over night and can take a while to ensure it is suitable to last the length of a game. I guess that's where the investment is. (1/2)
Comment number 8. Posted by Peter Lankyon 9 May 2013 14:11
Sorry. Last post should be @6
Comment number 7. Posted by Peter Lankyon 9 May 2013 14:01
I hadn't interpreted it as being the pitch. The pitches at Old Trafford, the Lancashire out-grounds, and I'm sure the vast majority of the grounds around the country already have perfectly good pitches requiring only the investment of good ground-staff.
Most investment I see involves an ever increasing number of corporate boxes, and an ever increasing salary cost.
Comment number 6. Posted by Lids1974on 9 May 2013 12:25
I believe much of the investment referred to concerns the pitch, Kent no longer play at Maidstone after being docked points for a substandard pitch. The local council were unable to guarantee the surface would improve so the county no longer use it. I'm sure you want to turn up and see a proper game and not a farce because the pitch is poor.
Comment number 5. Posted by Les Cigaleson 9 May 2013 07:58
I am old enough to remember when Lancashire played at Liverpool, Southport and Blackpool each year, then the 'suits' took over and it was determined that that had to stop to satisfy the brewers demands. Now games are concentrated in Manchester, one of the wettest cities in the U.K., and a lot of 'County' support has drained away.
Comment number 4. Posted by Peter Lankyon 9 May 2013 07:27
I'm not convinced about the statement "You have to bear in mind that considerable investment has to be committed to the club ground in the months and years prior to the match taking place."
Are we talking about appealing to the person on the street, or to corporate spectators and pampered players?
As a spectator, I just want to turn up and see a game. How much organisation does that require?
Comment number 3. Posted by chatterisgirlon 9 May 2013 06:03
How many people pass a county ground on their way home from work? This is one of my concerns. Beer is expensive at grounds, and served in nasty plastic, why chose to go here, rather than, say a riverside pub? 1 - 7 is a better idea, not too late for kids and older members. Public transport will probably still be running too, so folks can get home.
Comment number 2. Posted by Andrew of Wareon 8 May 2013 22:57
To b e honest chatteris girl, I don't know. In England nights are not long enough or warm enough to justify first class cricket under lights. I think there is more sense in starting mid-season first class matches at 1:00 p.m. and finishing at 7:00 p.m. Perhaps make admission free after 5:00 p.m. so people on the way home from work can watch a couple of hours cricket whilst having a pint or two.
Comment number 1. Posted by chatterisgirlon 8 May 2013 15:58
This is a honest question that I have yet to hear someone answer with research to back up the answer: - who do believe day/ night matches are going to appeal to?

How much will sea level rise?
… is the question people have been putting a lot of thought into since the IPCC AR4 report came out. We analysed what was in the report quite carefully at the time and pointed out that the allowance for dynamic ice sheet processes was very uncertain, and actually precluded setting a upper limit on what might be expected. The numbers that appeared in some headlines (up to 59 cm by 2100) did not take that uncertainty into account.
In a more recent paper, our own Stefan Rahmstorf used a simple regression model to suggest that sea level rise (SLR) could reach 0.5 to 1.4 meters above 1990 levels by 2100, but this did not consider individual processes like dynamic ice sheet changes, being only based on how global sea level has been linked to global warming over the past 120 years. As Stefan discussed, any non-linear or threshold behavior of ice sheets could lead to sea level rising faster than this estimate. Thus, otherwise quite conservative voices have been stressing the 'unknown unknown' nature of this problem and suggesting that, based on paleo-data (for instance), it was really hard to rule out sea level rises measured in feet, and not in inches. (Note too, the SLR is very much a lagging indicator, and will continue for centuries past the time that atmospheric temperatures have stabilised).
The first paper to really try and assess the future limits on dynamic ice sheet loss appeared in Science this week. Pfeffer et al looked at the exit glaciers for Greenland and West Antarctica and made some back of the envelope calculations of how quickly the ice sheets could dynamically drain.
Good news: they rule out more than 2 meters of sea level coming from Greenland alone in the next century. This is however more than anyone has ever suggested and would be comparable to the amount that disappeared at the Eemian (125,000 years ago) (see this post for more on that).
Bad news: they can't rule out up to 2 meters in total.
In summary, they estimate that including dynamic ice sheet processes gives projected SLR at 2100 somewhere in the 80 cm to 2 meter range, and suggest that 80 cm should be the 'default' value. This is remarkable in a number of ways – first, these are the highest estimates of sea level rise by 2100 that has been published in the literature to date, and secondly, while they don't take into account the full uncertainty in other aspects of sea level rise considered by IPCC, their numbers are significantly higher in any case. And this week the Dutch 'Delta Commission' published its estimate of sea level rise that the Dutch need to plan for (p111): 55 to 110 cm globally and a bit more for Holland, based on a large number of scientists' input. [Clarifying update: this is meant to be a "high end estimate".]
Lest readers think this is no big deal, the estimates for the number of people who would be affected by 1 meter of sea level rise is more than 100 million – mainly in Asia. Of some recent relevance is the fact that the storm surge caused by Gustav in New Orleans was within 1 foot of the top of the levees. Another 3 ft caused by global sea level rise would have put a lot more water into the 'bowl'.

Turn on the television and you're likely to be inundated with commercials for the latest prescription medications that should be discussed with a doctor. According to Generation Rx: How Prescription Drugs Are Altering American Lives, Minds, and Bodies, by Greg Crister, the average number of prescriptions drugs taken per person, annually, in 2004 was 12. It is estimated that people will spend over $400 billion on prescription drugs by the end of 2011. Individuals who take multiple medications may find it difficult to manage them all.
The challenge of managing medications can be difficult for anyone but particularly for seniors. Some organizational strategies and a little help from others may be the keys to getting meds straight.
First and foremost, it's important that doctors and pharmacists know of all the medications that are being taken. It's a good idea to use one pharmacy to fill prescriptions. This way it will have a record of medication use and can alert to drug interactions that may be dangerous, which could otherwise go undetected. And remember, over-the-counter supplements, vitamins and medicines count, too. They should be mentioned at the doctor's office or, at the very least, when getting a new prescription filled at the pharmacy. Herbal remedies and other items -- even foods -- can interact with certain drugs. For example, it's best to avoid grapefruit juice while taking many of the cholesterol-lowering statins available.
Purchasing a medication organizer can be the next step to getting drugs in check. There are a number of different styles and sizes available. Seniors may want to enlist the help of a family member to sort through pills at the beginning of each week and place the right pills in each compartment.
Knowing which days to take each medication is sometimes not enough. Certain medications must be taken at different intervals each day, often inviting confusion. A chart listing the times of each medication posted next to where the prescriptions are kept can help. A watch with a timer or an alarm clock can be programmed to chime as a reminder. Tech-savvy people can program smart phones or PDAs with reminders to alert when it's time to take a pill. There are even advanced pill dispensing systems that can be programmed to dispense medication according to a set schedule. The Maya from MedMinder.com is one to consider or the Philips Medication Dispensing Service at ManageMyPills.com.
People who are worried about an elderly relative can enlist the help of medication reminder services that can call or message a person to keep track of pills. They also may provide reminders about doctors' appointments.
There are a number of options available to help make organizing care a little easier. Safety should be the top priority when there are many different medications that need to be taken.

WHO WANTS A 3-ASSIST MAN?Jon Sim, with 9 goals in little ice, is on waivers
11:40 am – The Islanders played the only game in the National Hockey League last night. Jon Sim was the best player on the ice. He had three assists.
Going on the fair assumption that the hockey operations departments of every NHL team scouted in person or watched the Islanders-Avalanche game on TSN or VERSUS last night, they now have a decision to make.
Would you like to add Jon Sim to your roster without giving up an asset?
Jon Sim – 3 assists last night, 9 goals in limited icetime over 49 games this season – has been placed on waivers.
Take your pick of waiver wire pests: Sean Avery, high-maintenance with three years left on his deal – or Jon Sim, lower-maintenance with just one year left?

GROWING UP IN, AND THEN LEAVING NASSAU Would Isles move be final straw for local youths?
written by Kevin Schultz
The Islanders leaving town after a failed bid for a new arena – this is hypothetical of course, for the time being – simply put would be the team following the path of the younger part of its fan base out of Nassau County.
Sure, there's the stereotype of old New Yorkers leaving for Florida, but that's not what I'm referring to. I'm talking about the disinterest and disconnect of young, native Nassau Countiers to the place where they grew up. The 18-30 year old demographic that flees Nassau for Brooklyn, Queens, other parts of the tri-state and eastern seaboard. This is something you may not notice if you're a busy commuter going between work and family or are walking through the Hofstra campus. But our young adults have gone missing. They're not spending all the money from their summer jobs and/or parents in Nassau County. They're certainly not going to school in Nassau County (see: the rise of SUNYs and Stony Brook). They're not buying apartments in Oceanside or Great Neck (not like there were any to begin with).
Let me back track a bit and introduce myself. I'm 24-years old and commuting to the city for work via my parents' basement. If I could afford it, I would have my own place in a minute. I grew up in Syosset for 18 years before heading to college. I couldn't wait to get. The hell. Out. Call it being a teenager, but I bolted for college at the University of South Carolina. Had it not been for a local economy smaller than Seaford, my other out-of-state friends and I likely would have stayed and found jobs in Columbia. That's what my high school friends who went to school in Boston did. That's what, I figure, I would have done if I had gone to Maryland instead. Luckily for Nassau County, I didn't have anywhere else to go. So now I'm back. And I'm ready to leave. And if you didn't pay attention or look hard enough, you didn't notice that my friends and I aren't around.
Where are we?
We're going to off-Long Island colleges, especially since the county's flagship school is asking for private size dollars, a large factor in my decision. We're renting apartments in Brooklyn. We're living with our parents in Nassau, but working and
drinking playing in the City when we're not tanning in the Hamptons. Isn't this the stereotypical Nassau upbringing? Have fun but do it somewhere else.
Why should it be that way? Why should we have to go elsewhere and spend all that money in other municipalities?
Why is it that when I walk around the mall, go to the movies (and to a lesser extent) the beach, all I see are families, high schoolers and retirees?
The fact is, there isn't a good enough reason for my friends and I to stay in Nassau County. And what's giving us an incentive to come back when we decide to settle down? Certainly not the property taxes and the housing prices. Definitely not the crowded beaches and highways. Whole Foods is nice, but that's not exclusive. I'll sure miss Bagel Boss, but I'll survive.
But let me get to the main point. My vote will count on August 1st and it is a definitive YES. I've been going to Islanders games with my father since I could walk. That got me to collecting cards, which Dad credits my learning to read. Now I blog about hockey which has honed my writing skills and even landed me a paid gig at FanHouse. To say the Islanders have had a profound impact on my life would be an understatement. I've asked a lot of questions in this post but here's the million-dollar one. If the new arena gets vetoed and the Islanders leave when their lease runs out, what reason do I have to stay in or come back to Nassau, aside from family?
Is there nightlife I can't get anywhere else? No.
Are there beaches unlike anywhere else? I hate to break it to you, but there are beaches outside of the overcrowded Jones and TOBAY. And they have concerts and fireworks!
Are there quaint suburbs that I won't find anywhere else? There are, with comparable schools and better tax rates.
So why should I come back to Nassau County?
Seriously. Why?
I'm not sitting here picking apart my home because I'm some jaded emo kid. Believe it or not, I like my home quite a bit. Sometimes to wake people up to the consequences of their actions, they need a little tough love. Right now, my county needs some tough love.
You can't beat All-American Burger in Massapequa. There are beautiful parks all over that I love taking pictures of. And, oh yeah, my beloved Islanders. But the point is, there's not a lot here you can't get elsewhere – and for less money.
Lost in all the political games and partisan politics that are driving this County off a cliff faster than Thelma and Louise is the fact that the future of Nassau County isn't as bright as its present.
Think about what's starting to happen.
At possibly the top of the economic troubles in Nassau, 1,500 teachers lost their jobs during the recession. Not only hurting them, but that has trickled down to my generation fresh out of school who can't beat teachers 10 years their senior for jobs, if there are even any jobs out there. Add that to everyone else just out of college, and only 55% of us nationwide are working in jobs requiring a degree (source).
OK, so the economy is tough. It's tough everywhere, but there's no reason not to create jobs in the hub of Nassau County by building a new arena. If the Islanders leave, it's a double negative in that it puts everyone working in the Coliseum and probably some in the surrounding area (restaurants, bars, the Marriot) out as well.
Aside from the economics, the fun is leaving Nassau County as well. We're already talking about how great the Jones Beach Fireworks used to be. What happens when the Nikon Theatre at the beach gets old and needs repairs? We'll be talking about all the great concerts we used to go to.
What are we building for the future? What reasons are we giving our kids to stay here? We already don't keep the majority of them here for college – Hofstra's website posts a 48% out-of-state rate (Remember, that doesn't account for enrollments from upstate). That's an awful lot of lost kids if they're not choosing the smaller Adelphi or CW Post. None of these schools have an undergrad class greater than 7,000 by the way. We're outsourcing our college students not just to Maryland, Boston and Delaware but to in-state cities like Ithaca, Albany, Rochester and Stony Brook. We've always lost the youth to the city but in a global world where you can Skype, FaceTime and then fly across the country, we're not keeping up. That's a lot of kids leaving every year and we're not giving them a good enough reason to come back.
When I asked for responses from Twitter users the other night, I got more than a few sharing my sentiments:
"You should have tons of material. #Isles and [lacrosse] only two things keeping me here. #ForReal"
"High property taxes chase away young homeowners."
From Daniel Wernau:
"I'm a 25 year old engineer, making a significant amount more than the median NY household salary. I live in a basement apartment for the same rent I could be paying on a mortgage somewhere else. I hear about friends from college and departed colleagues about making more (25% more) money and living in areas like the Gulf coast and Houston and living in full apartments with amenities for much less than I pay. Why do I stay? The two resources nearly exclusive to Long Island: Lacrosse, and the New York Islanders."
Others were more vocal like David Cohen, Tufts Class of 2011.
"If they move, will I ever watch hockey again? Doubtful. Will I ever come to Long Island for more than a week at a time? Probably not. But why would I? New York City is 45 minutes away. All of my friends will be living there. My brother lives there. My parents are moving there when they retire. At that point, when I have no family ties to LI, and no friends living here, why would I come back? However, are the New York Islanders, perennial laughingstock of the NHL, worth driving an extra hour to see? ABSOLUTELY."
One of the main points these responses have in common is that the Islanders are a unique and defining characteristic in the middle of a typical American suburbia.
There's one quote that I'll never forget from Kate Murray, used in her effort to block the Lighthouse Project.
"Kate Murray, Hempstead's town supervisor, cited a desire to keep the 'suburban character of surrounding communities.' " – NYTimes
Regardless of whether it was just political verbage or if she truly wanted to preserve some aspect of the area that has long been lost – long gone since they built the Source Mall, Roosevelt Field Mall, Hofstra's basketball arena, Hofstra's upgraded football stadium, that gun shop on Hempstead Turnpike, the massive Aquatics Center in Eisenhower Park, the McMansions on top of the old Roosevelt Raceway, Target, Starbucks and Best Buy – Murray's words speak to a larger problem, a fear that she was trying to strike in her constituents.
The impression that I get from a lot of people in Nassau County that we shouldn't let this or that in. That we need to keep things the way they are or get back to the way they were. That we're keeping one foot in the past while being willfully ignorant of the future all the while pretending we don't notice the next time a Walmart goes up down the street. Maybe it goes back to all of William Levitt's developments and the stereotypes that are associated with them. Houses all looking the same, lawns nicely cut and anyone saying or doing anything slightly out of line is looked down upon. That sure doesn't paint a picture of a place where a sore thumb like the Islanders should be allowed to stick out.
The point is, when we lose the Islanders, we lose one of the things that makes us unique and unlike every other suburbia with endless box big stores, strip malls and a Starbucks on every corner. When the dust settles, you won't be able to say you didn't have a voice. In America, we usually don't get to vote on rules and laws, only to pick the people who decide them for us. Nassau County: on August 1st, it's your decision.

Video: Questions on Skyway lighting plan
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Add State Senator Tim Kennedy to the list of lawmakers who want the Skyway torn down.
On Thursday Kennedy called on the Western New York Regional Economic Development Council to make the removal of the Skyway a top economic priority for the region.
Kennedy believes removing the Skyway will open up new development opportunities along Buffalo's waterfront, leading to further economic progress and job creation at the water's edge.
Kennedy's comments come one day after the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation unveiled plans to use the Skyway as part of its illumination display to enhance and attract more people to the Skyway. The agency lists a $1.3 Million dollar costs for design and installation of the Skyway lights.
Kennedy told 2 On Your Side that the state should do everything it can to immediately brighten the waterfront and that removing the Skyway is a long term effort
Congressman Brian Higgins has also called for the Skyway to be torn down.

What To Buy
Tucker by Gaby Basora Market Midi Dress ($398)
With its vintage-looking floral motif and easygoing silhouette, Tucker's Market Midi Dress speaks perfectly to our subject's retro sensibilities. She'll also be fond of its comfortable fit, especially when strolling the local farmers' market or perusing antique stores.
Tory Burch Darlene Ballet Flats ($325)
When it comes to footwear, the Whimsical One often gravitates toward a low heel or prim flats. With that in mind, we think she'll adore these slip-ons by Tory Burch. Why? Though the two-tone design hints at classic men's spectator shoes, the sleek shape and pointed toe give these flats ladylike polish.
Comme des Garçons Ribbon Tie Shirt ($515)
The feminine Peter Pan collar and ribbon tie featured on this boyish button-up will surely win over the Whimsical One. We imagine she'd wear the charming shirt tucked into a full skirt and paired with block heels.
kate spade new york The Great Gatsby Book Clutch ($325)
An unabashed book nerd at heart, The Whimsical One will undoubtedly appreciate this unconventional clutch, inspired by famed American novel The Great Gatsby. The bright pop of color will be a smart addition to any look.
Delfina Delettrez for Yoox.com Ring Set ($1627)
Delfina Delettrez's imaginative designs are perfectly suited for this quirky style smith. So when we spotted this three-piece ring set by the designer, we knew right away the Whimsical One would admire its fun, offbeat look. She could wear them individually or layer with other pieces; either way, they're sure to be a part of her everyday repertoire.
Isabel Marant Becky Velvet Mini Skirt ($450)
Luxe fabrics are a mainstay in the Whimsical One's wardrobe, making this bold velveteen mini a must for today's giftee. The skirt gets bonus points for its military-inspired detailing (very Sgt. Pepper, don't you think?), which also happens to be on-point for fall.
Alexander Wang by Linda Farrow Sunglasses ($389)
Bright and oversized sunnies just won't do for the Whimsical One. Nope, her go-to is a retro cat-eye, hence, the inclusion of this covetable Alexander Wang by Linda Farrow pair. We're obsessed with the oval, librarian-esque frames and have a hunch the Whimsical One will feel the same!
Tocca Eau de Parfum ($68) in Stella
This fragrance is a lovely choice for the Whimsical One for two reasons. First and foremost, the sensual scent features a mesmerizing blend of blood orange and spicy lily, while the etched brass topper makes it look like a vintage flea market gem. In other words, it's perfect inside and out!
Tsumori Chisato Cashmere Cat Dot Stole ($383)
Polka dots and cats-need we say more? Considering the Whimsical One is a super fan of both, this uber-soft cashmere stole is a no-brainer gift idea. Worn alone or layered with another scarf, you can be sure this is one accessory that will take her well through the season.
