I never said that they did not descend from the Dukes of Brabant. They are hardly their genealogical heirs though.
--Previous Message--
: The Belgian kings do descent from the old
: Dukes of Brabant as a result of their smart

: was related to the French Capetians, the
: Spanish Borbons and the house of

: Returned as a province in the Kingdom of the

: Heir and count of Flanders for his brother.
: --Previous Message--
: A dukedom is simply a title of nobility with
: no territory associated. For instance,
: whenever a duke is/was created in the United
: Kingdom, it was a dukedom. There are no
: duchies (lands ruled directly by a duke) in
: the UK called Marlborough, Lennox, etc.
: There are dukedoms (titles) of such names
: though.
: Duchies are/were places like Nassau,
: Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, Brunswick, etc. These
: were places ruled by dukes with those
: territorial designations.
: The Queen of the Netherlands has the title
: of Duchess of Limburg because the kings
: preceding her were, at one point, sovereign
: dukes of Limburg. The same way that the
: kings preceding Juan Carlos were sovereign
: dukes of Brabant.
: There is no conceivable way, however, that
: the kings of Belgium are heirs of the old
: Dukes of Brabant except that they are
: monarchs of a newly created state
: encompassing part of the same territory. The
: Belgian Duke of Brabant is not heir to the
: old Duchy of Brabant.
: That isn't to say I think he should not use
: that title. I do, however, think it would be
: wrong to say the King of Spain, or anyone
: for that matter with a genealogical claim,
: could not use that title because a Belgian
: prince has it.
: --Previous Message--
: The distinction between duchy and dukedom is
: lost on me. Im sorry there seems to be a
: difference in the English language that my

: The Dutch sovereign has among her titles
: Duchess of Limburg while only part of that
: duchy is in the Netherlands (either west or
: east but im always confused about that one)
: the other half is in Belgium.
: Real duchies no longer exist in the Low
: countries or in France for that matter. The
: area's have been divided up in other forms
: (provinces or departments). Those political
: entities however don't exclude the old
: regions still having their own distinction.
: --Previous Message--
: There is a difference between a duchy and a
: dukedom. A duchy is a territory with a duke
: as sovereign . If they heir to the Belgian
: throne ruled the duchy of Brabant he would
: be sovereign over parts of the
: Netherlands...
: A dukedom is simply a ducal title. Like
: Edinburgh (no duchy of Edinburgh) in the UK.
: I personally do not know if Luxembourg
: ceased to exist as a duchy and was later
: refounded as a grand duchy or if it was
: extant as a duchy and simply upgraded
: (continuity).
: --Previous Message--
: It still exists as a duchy as it's THE title
: to refer to the Heir of the Belgian throne.
: You would not call Luxembourg a non-existant
: grand duchy even though a major part of it
: nowadays is in Belgium and not part of the
: country Luxembourg.
: --Previous Message--
: Please note I said Brabant as a duchy ! Its
: historical territory also straddles two
: countries...
: --Previous Message--
: I beg to differ. Brabant still very much
: exists as a region. Even those in the north
: are aware of their link with area's across
: the national border. People refer to
: themselves as Brabants and there are all
: sorts of traditions alive and well in the
: region.
: --Previous Message--
: More "controversial" would be the
: title of Duke of Bravant, used presently by
: the heir of Belgium.
: Although the historic Duchy of Brabant
: straddles the current Kingdoms of Belgium
: and the Netherlands is the Belgian Royal
: Family truly seen as a successor to Brabant
: anyway? Brabant as a duchy ceased to exist
: to exist before Belgium as a country was
: even created.

Clever Fitness Ideas
If fitness is at the top of your to do list, get started with the information in the article below to make sure you get the most from whatever you decide to do. Not all fitness advice is right for everyone, but you can find some great ideas from these practical tips to get started today.
To maintain your fitness level for life, you must find forms of exercise that you enjoy. If you have to force yourself to exercise, you are very unlikely to exercise on a regular basis or to maintain your fitness level in the long term. By participating in enjoyable forms of exercise such as swimming, cycling, hiking, dancing, and playing enjoyable team sports, you can be fit and stay fit for life.
For those who have just begun exercising recently, it is important not to over do it. Because your muscles and other parts of your body are not used to the exercise, you can suffer a severe muscle injury. You can begin by power-walking, running, cycling, swimming, or lifting light weights.
Strengthen your legs with isotonic exercise. Many sports such as basketball, football, cycling and running require strong legs. This form of exercise requires you to tense and contract a muscle for a certain amount of time. Weight lifting is a particularly good example of this exercise, as it develops muscle tone and increases joint flexibility.
A good cycling fitness tip to help increase endurance and muscle when you are riding is to try and keep your pace somewhere between 80 and 110 rpms. This will allow you to ride further without getting tired and it is much easier on your joints. You also have the benefit of riding for longer periods of time.
Getting started on your way to true personal fitness begins with these effective and practical tips. Put these tips to use to feel better and look great. It will give you a great deal of satisfaction to know you are doing something to get in the best shape you can.

A team of researchers claim to have developed the lightest solid material on earth, a "metallic microlattice" that is feather-like and stiff as a board.
The microlattice, created by scientists from Caltech, HRL Laboratories, LLC, and the University of California, Irvine, is almost entirely made up of air and 0.01 percent solid matter, and is so light that it can rest comfortably on a dandelion without damaging it.
Bill Carter, manager of the architected materials group at HRL, said, "It's sort of like a feather -- it floats down, and its terminal velocity depends on the density. It takes more than 10 seconds, for instance, for the lightest material we've made to fall if you drop it from shoulder height."
The ultra lightness of the microlattice is attributed to a cellular architecture that supports a material structure that consists of 99.99 percent air.
What is the ultra light substance made of?
The material, made primarily of nickel, is about a hundred times lighter than Styrofoam. It is made of tiny hollow metallic tubes arranged in a crisscross diagonal pattern with walls a thousand times thinner than a human hair.
The ultra lightness of the microlattice is attributed to a cellular architecture that supports a material structure that consists of 99.99 percent air.
"The emergence of the unique properties of these ultra-light micro-lattice structures is due, in part, to the different mechanical behavior that emerges in nano-sized solids, which is the focus of my research," said Julia Greer, assistant professor of materials science and mechanics.
Use of the material
The use of such a material is still to be determined. Considering its ultra-low density, incredible strength, and "extraordinarily high energy absorption" properties, the material can be used for thermal insulation, battery electrodes, or protective shielding.
It could also be used effectively in the aerospace industry as shock and vibration absorbers, and maybe for blast resistant structures that could have military uses.
Lorenzo Valdevit, UCI's principal investigator on the project, said the material possesses "a combination of stiffness, strength and weight. You end up with a material that is exceptionally lightweight, and mechanically efficient at that weight."

The Calcagno name is one rich with history at St. Francis High in Mountain View.
New head varsity football coach Greg Calcagno is ready to begin the next chapter.
Calcagno is the new head coach for the Lancers, replacing Nick Navarro, who moved his family to Florida at the end of the football season to explore other coaching opportunities.
Calcagno was quarterback and captain on the St. Francis team that went 13-0 in 1982, the school's first undefeated football team. He then graduated in 1983 and went on to play at Santa Clara University. He was on the junior varsity football coaching staff the past four seasons before jumping to the head varsity coach position in late April.
The son of legendary St. Francis football coach Ron Calcagno is taking over the program his father coached from 1972-95 and led to 11 Central Coast Section championships.
"To start, I just want to continue to build off of what was accomplished under coach Navarro," Calcagno said. "Last year's team won a Division II title and won eight games."
The Lancers went 8-5 overall and 4-3 in West Catholic Athletic League play last season. St. Francis strung together three straight playoff wins, capped off by a 17-0 shutout victory over Los Gatos in the CCS Division II title game.
With only one year of coaching under his belt when longtime St. Francis head coach Mike Mitchell retired in 2010 after 14 seasons, Calcagno admitted that he didn't feel like he was seasoned enough on the sidelines to throw his hat into the coaching hunt.
This time around was different.
"I felt like I could do some good," Calcagno said. "My family has been a part of this school for many, many years. My kids graduated from here. My goal is to play in and win the Open Division title. We will go where they put us, but St. Francis needs and should play at the highest level every year--that means the Open Division is where we need to be."
Only a few members remain from the Lancers championship squad from 2012. At the top of the list on the key returners front is senior safety and captain Landon Baty (5-foot-10, 175 pounds). Baty is a three-year starter and is a ball hawk on the back end of the defense.
Baty will also see time at running back, joining senior Alex Andrighetto (5-foot-9, 175) and junior Devin Hurtado (6-foot-2, 200) in the backfield mix.
Senior Jack Casarez (5-foot-10, 200), junior Zach Toussaint (5-foot-11, 225) and massive offensive tackle Ryan Popolizio (6-foot-6, 290) will all start on the offensive line. That trio gives the Lancers plenty of beef and experience in the trenches.
While the running back, offensive line and the defensive line groups have plenty of game experience under their belts, the quarterback position is another story. Currently four quarterbacks have a shot to claim the starting nod going into the fall.
"It's definitely a concern," Calcagno said about the quarterback position battle. "Mike Lauck was a great leader and quarterback for this team last season."
No matter which quarterback emerges to lead the first-team offense, he'll have a handful of nice weapons to utilize in the passing game. Bryce Carbonel (5-foot-11, 175), a speedy junior, headlines that bunch on the outside. A starter at wide receiver, Carbonel will also join Baty in the defensive secondary on defense.
Seniors John Powers (6-foot-3, 220) and Holden Mackey (6-foot-0, 195) both will play tight end on offense for St. Francis, giving their quarterback a pair of sizable targets to get the football to in the middle of the field. Mackey also will start at inside linebacker, while Powers will line up alongside at outside linebacker.
St. Francis begins the season against familiar non-league foes Oak Grove and Palma. Their league opener is on Oct. 5 at defending Open Division champion, St. Ignatius. The following week the Lancers square off against 2012 WCAL champion Bellarmine.
"We're definitely going right into the fire during the first month of the season," Calcagno said. "There won't be any easy Friday nights on this schedule, that's for sure."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Last year was good for stocks and bonds, so it was easy to be right about the market. Still, as I look back at the securities I recommended in this article I couldn't be more pleased. With a few exceptions, they worked better than planned, some much better.
Most of my articles focused on income investments. That's because people find it hard to generate enough income from their investments in this low interest rate environment. It was hard a year ago; it's still hard now. The January 24 article on bank loan funds recommended Eaton Vance Senior Floating Rate Fund (EFR). It was $15.01 then, now it's $16.25 and it pays a generous dividend.
The March 1 article "An Update on Emerging Market Debt," recommended Western Asset Emerging Markets Debt Fund (ESD). Since then it is up 8.5 percent and it, too, pays a generous dividend. The June 28 article "A Slowing Economy ... and You!" recommended the U.S. Bank 6 Percent Series G. It was $26.81 then, now it's $27.73 and we've received dividends along the way.
While we liked those income vehicles, we avoided U.S. Treasury funds. Treasury funds are about unchanged since our March 6 article "U.S. Treasuries - A High Risk Investment." I continue to believe "unchanged" is about the best you can do in these funds, and there will come a time, maybe sooner than most expect, when investors will see sizable losses in Treasuys.
Perhaps the year's best call was the October 24 article, The Rise of the Internationals. In that article we featured the improving international markets and gave several suggestions. Since then these securities have been far stronger than the U.S. market. Mexico (EWW) is up 7.9 percent, Philippines (EPHE) is up 13.6 percent, Turkey (TUR) is plus 13.8 percent, and Pacific Ex-Japan (EPP) is ahead 4.9 percent.
There were many opportunities to profit last year, even in less-risky securities. Those who stayed on the sidelines in cash, CDs and money-market funds missed out. There are always investment opportunities, and some of the greatest appear when people are most pessimistic, as they are now.
But inaction is not an investment strategy. It's a recipe for disappointment. Either hire a Registered Investment Adviser like myself, or take an active interest in learning about investments so you can manage your own portfolio. If the former, I'd be delighted to meet with you. If the latter, be sure to keep reading this column.

Video from day one in Shanghai at the Intel Developer Forum and riding the Bund.
Cycling-savvy Intel employees want to know: what is Bike Huggr doing at IDF? Looks like fun whatever it is!
At our [day jobs](http://texturadesign.com/) (Textura Design publishes Bike Hugger), we're bloggers and social media strategists and are here supporting Intel, also riding all over the place, and blogging it up. Last year about this time we were in [Beijing](/tag/beijing) and later [Taipei](/tag/taipei).
The context is the **mobile social**: we're mobile on our bikes, with technology, and web 2.0 apps and there's a lot more coming; especially with the next-gen mobile apps and Atom-powered devices (those were just unveiled about 2 minutes, including a [Lenovo MacbookAir](http://www.flickr.com/photos/mobilhomme/2382090998/) competitor).
I can go on-and-on about, but there's really a common thread of cycling wherever we travel, just like meeting up with [Crash Test Dummy blog](http://bikehugger.com/2008/04/crashing_the_french_concession.htm) last night, spotting [a fellow Dahon cyclist](http://www.flickr.com/photos/huggerindustries/2381420942/), and getting into [the flow](http://texturadesign.com/blog/2008/03/experience_one_of_those_jetlag.htm) of a town.

SIMI VALLEY, Calif. (AP) — Federal environmental regulators say they have found lingering radioactive contamination at a rocket engine test site outside of Los Angeles.
The Environmental Protection Agency undertook a $42 million study to look at contamination at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory. The lab tested rocket engines, conducted nuclear energy research and developed nuclear reactors for four decades. A reactor had a partial meltdown in 1959.
Technicians collected some 3,700 soil samples from an area where most of the testing was done. Of those, 10 percent contained radioactive concentrations exceeding background levels.
An EPA official says there are some Superfund sites in the western United States that are more polluted than Santa Susana.
The state of California and various agencies face a 2017 deadline to clean up the site.

Florida Road Safety: Ban Texting And Driving
Published: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 12:05 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 9, 2013 at 12:05 a.m.
How dangerous is it to drive in Florida? Because of its lack of any limits whatsoever on driving while texting, a lot more dangerous than it should be.
Sending text messages while driving causes 25 percent of all accidents, according to the National Safety Council. It is six times more dangerous than driving while intoxicated, and 23 times more likely to cause a crash than driving without texting, according to studies cited by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Yet Florida is one of just five states that puts no restrictions at all on drivers who text — not even on novice drivers or school bus operators.
Florida also forbids local governments from having their own distracted-driving laws.
However, this might be the year that Florida injects some sanity into its wide-open and risk-filled invitation to text behind the wheel. Two Republican legislators — Sen. Nancy Detert of Venice and Rep. Doug Holder of Sarasota — are sponsoring bills to ban texting while driving.
They have failed before with similar bills, when legislative leaders — who saw any limits as an affront to personal freedom — prevented passage. Those opponents have left office, improving the new bills' chances.
Unfortunately, while any restrictions on drivers' texting would be better than none, the bills don't go far enough. Detert's and Holder's proposals would only allow secondary enforcement, meaning that drivers only could be cited for texting if they're charged with some other violation.
Of the 39 states that ban text messaging for all drivers, all but four have primary enforcement. Primary enforcement would appear to be much more effective at curbing the practice and thus improving safety.
Detert and Holder should strengthen their bills to include primary enforcement. They've waited this long to have a chance of enacting this vital legislation that they should try to ensure it has the intended impact.
If Detert and Holder need support, they appear to have the vast majority of Floridians behind them.
In a 2011 survey by Mason-Dixon Polling, 71 percent of likely voters said they would welcome a state law banning texting while driving. A recent Tampa Bay Times poll of Pinellas and Hillsborough county residents found that 89 percent favor a ban.
It's time for the Legislature to recognize what most other states, as well as most Floridians, have already accepted: A ban on texting while driving, with primary enforcement, is an essential means of improving highway safety.

Silverthorne resident Elisabeth Perry is an articulate, engaging young woman who readily admits she has an obsession.
"I don't know anybody else who is my kind of crazy," said Perry. "Mentally, it's a whole lot more than most people want to take on."
That's an understatement. Like many people in the West, Perry loves the outdoors. What separates her from more mainstream outdoors enthusiasts is her need for extended stays in the wild. For Perry, it isn't really a hiking trek unless it lasts for months.
"I have always known I want to undertake great adventures," said Perry.
In that spirit, during both 2011 and 2012, she tackled the Pacific Crest Trail. That's a 2,670-mile hike that runs from Mexico to Canada and covers climates ranging form arid deserts to snowcapped mountains. Why did she do it twice? Because in 2011, she was stopped a mere 300 miles from the trail's conclusion so she returned home to Colorado, spent a few months working and saving, and then she took off again in 2012 to complete the hike.
"This year I got to Canadian border exactly five months after I left from Mexico," said Perry. "Before I left, everyone said, 'Why not just finish the last 300 miles?' But I said that wouldn't count."
Perry will present tales and pictures from her Pacific Crest Trail adventures during a special program at the Eagle Public Library Monday, Feb. 11. While her story is framed by those two hiking adventures, it's also a tale of how her soul craves extended time on the trail.
Perry was born in Chicago and her family moved around the country often during her childhood. Her mother and father enjoyed hiking and camping and passed that love on to their daughter - a bit more vehemently than they realized.
"My parents are the reason why I have such a great respect for the outdoors, but I don't think they ever envisioned me trekking thousands of miles across the world," Perry said.
In 2001, Perry moved to Colorado and she graduated from Metro State University with a bachelor's degree in social work. She also earned an outdoor education degree from Colorado Mountain College. During her spare time, she enjoyed climbing, snowboarding, ice climbing and backpacking. But she found those adventures were too small for her taste. Then in 2008 she decided to hike the Colorado Trail.
"It's only 500 miles, and that just wasn't long enough for me," said Perry.
She doesn't remember when she first heard about the Pacific Crest Trail, but she decided that the 2,670-mile trek was calling her. She talked her dad into dropping her off at the U.S./Mexico boarder in April 2011 and she started hiking. The trip would take six months.
"It was a record snow year, so part of the challenges were greater in 2011," said Perry. She perfected her traveling routine and gear - a 12-pound pack that includes a tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, clothing, a camp stove, weather gear and food. She tried to camp near water that she could filter for her hydration needs, and mapped out plans to resupply every five to 12 days.
During her resupply breaks, she would call her parents, grab a shower and eat ice cream.
"You have to have that kind of balance when you are on the trail," said Perry. Every 500 miles or so, she would have to replace her hiking boots.
Perry found she could walk between 20 and 30 miles per day and that life on the trail was simple but not monotonous. She would wake up between 5:30 and 6:30 a.m. and take an hour off midday to rest and write in her journal. She'd finish her day between 6 and 8 p.m., set up camp, filter her water, eat and climb into bed. While she would frequently meet up with other hikers and spend time on the trail with them, she didn't have a trail-long hiking companion.
"You have to be 100 percent self reliant," she explained.
You also have to be smart. Perry had made it all the way to Washington back in 2011 when day after day of harsh weather convinced her to halt her hike.
"Being wet and cold for weeks is just stupid," she said. "I just couldn't get dry and sometimes you have to just step back and listen to Mother Nature. As much as I loved what I was I doing, when Mother Nature says stop, to have to respect that."
She was down, but not out. In 2012, Perry decided to tackle the Pacific Crest Trail again. This time she finished the hike, so in total she has hiked more than 5,000 miles on the Pacific Crest Trail.
Her least favorite trail section was dusty, dry northern California. Her favorites were the found along the Sierra Nevadas and the Cascades. At the end of the journey, she was faced with a dilemma. How could she find an adventure to top the one she just finished?
Perry does not think small and her next adventure will dwarf the one she just finished. In 2014, she hopes to begin a four-year hiking trek from Barrow, Alaska (the most northern North America city) to Terra del Fuego (the archipelago located off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland). Along the way she plans to do community service and bring attention to the work of the CASA organization (see related sidebar).
These days Perry is working and saving money for her next great adventure. She presents slide shows detailing her Pacific Crest Trail journeys and tells audiences about her Alaska to Argentina plans. She is researching the route she will take and laying the groundwork for the message she hopes to carry.
"My dad says, 'So you want to be like Mother Teresa with a backpack?'" said Perry. "I tell him that's about right."
A friend plans to make the trek with her and the journey will also include biking through Mexico and sea kayaking in Central America. One leg of her journey will find Perry hiking along the Continental Divide, just a few miles from her home.
That four-year trek is Perry's biggest dream yet, but she is a go-big-or-go-home kind of person.
"It is pretty crazy, I know. Hopefully, it's just not insane," she said.
As long as she is doing something attention-generating like hiking from Alaska to Terra de Fuego, Elisabeth Perry figures she should use the opportunity to shine the spotlight on a cause that's close to her heart - CASA of the Continental Divide.
During the four years she believes it will take to hike from Barrow, Alaska, (the most northern North America city) to Terra del Fuego (the archipelago located off the southernmost tip of the South American mainland), Perry envisions spreading information about the CASA mission as she completes various community service projects in communities along the way. She first became involved with the organization back when she interned with CASA while she was in college.
The national CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) Association was formed in 1977. There are more than 954 programs in the nation; 17 programs are currently operating in the state of Colorado. CASA of the Continental Divide was accepted for membership in the National CASA Association in August of 1998.
CASA of the Continental Divide was founded to train volunteers for children who are victims of abuse and neglect. Each year, CASA of the Continental Divide recruits and screens volunteer advocates, then provides comprehensive training programs to educate the volunteers about child abuse and neglect. They learn about the roles of the Department of Human Services, the judicial system and many of the community resources available to children and families involved in these cases. The volunteers continue their training through regular in-services that provide additional information and support.
The volunteers, or CASAs, appointed by the court, generally work on one case at a time. They provide factual, unbiased information to the court about the child's situation, enabling the court to make more informed decisions in the best interest of the child.
CASA of the Continental Divide serves Clear Creek, Eagle, Lake and Summit counties in Colorado's 5th Judicial District. This includes the towns of Avon, Beaver Creek, Breckenridge, Dillon, Downieville, Eagle, Edwards, Frisco, Georgetown, Gypsum, Idaho Springs, Keystone, Leadville, Minturn, Silver Plume and a portion of Evergreen.

A division of Tracker Marine builds trailers for Nitro boats. They are color-matched with the boat, have a special Galvashield treatment, powder coated and have step pads on the fenders and the tongue. They are standard with the boat.
The Mission of the Nitro Z-8
Overall the Nitro Z-8 is designed to be ready for top bass tournaments right out of the box. Her bottom is designed to be quick out of the hole and manageable at speeds in excess of 70 mph.
The standard Lowrance Mark 5x Pro fishfinder is flush-mounted in the instrument console. Several options are available. We like the most important instrument on the panel placed front and center and not stuck on the top of the dash looking like an after thought -- and one that cuts down visibility.
A bird's eye view of the Z-8 with all of the storage lids open. Bass boats are all about stowage, and the Z-8 has plenty. The bike seat forward and fishing seat aft are standard, but the removable port console is an option.
What's In the Box?
The big three items of standard equipment are the Mercury 200-hp OptiMax Pro XS, color-coordinated, tandem-axle trailer, and the 24V Minn Kota trolling motor.
Fishy Features. She has two 20 gal. (75 L) each aerated livewells aft, with timers and pump-outs; controls are at the helm. Port and starboard are two bins that can hold Plano tackle trays. This is an ideal system for anglers who like to arrange their tackle at home and label the trays so the right lure can be quickly found. Two bins forward can hold a number of rods that do not exceed 8' in length.
The trolling motor has a 70-lb. thrust and a 42" (106 cm) shaft. There is a recessed foot control for comfort on the bow.
Helm. Amidships there is 3-across seating. The port console is optional and can be easily removed and put in place. The steering is hydraulic, and she has full instrumentation including a Lowrance Mark-5X fishfinder which is integrated right into the helm console front and center.
On the way to the bow is an insulated cooler that is self draining and about equa-distant from the anglers bow and stern. A much-need trash container is at left. Forward of these two compartments is a huge storage compartment that is ideal for extra life jackets, USCG required equipment, and food among other things.
No bass boat would be complete without a recessed trolling motor foot pedal that makes balance better.
The Nitro Z-8 comes standard with two Interstate trolling batteries and one cranking battery.
A new wrinkle on the trailer tongue are these two tread steps.
How is She Built? Warranty?
Boat and Trailer. The Z-8 has a hand-laid fiberglass hull which has a foam-filled 'glass stringer system and composite transom. These days this is pretty much standard industry construction practice. Nitro is confident enough to cover her structure – hull, stringers and transom – for the life of the boat. And it's transferable. The rest of the boat is covered by a limited one-year warranty; the trailer comes with three-year coverage for the galvanized tubing.
Mercury Engine. The Mercury OptiMax 200-hp Pro XS and all models in this series carry a Mercury factory-backed limited 3-year warranty against defects of parts and labor and a 3-year warranty against corrosion. Both of these warranties are non-declining.
Some anglers want a second console, some think it gets in the way of easy movement. Nitro makes it optional so buyers can have it their way.
The removable portside console has a lockable glove box, grab handle and windscreen. Its $900 cost includes factory-installed mounting hardware.
Three-across seating is standard, but we'd add the optional console to give the port-side seat some protection when running fast on a cool morning. Under-seat stowage is handy, too. Note the steps/armrests between the seats and the grab handles between the seats. While handholds are required by ABYC Standards we think Nitro has done a particularly good job with its design of them.
Is She Fast?
Bottom Shapes. To attain maximum performance the Z-8 rides on what Nitro calls its "Rapid Planing System" hull. It incorporates a step near the transom which reduces wetted surface, possibly some drag, and effectively sets the prop further aft into what should be slightly less turbulent water.
On the aft one/third or so of the keel is a pad which is nearly flat, thus giving the boat lift. This is a tried-and-true design. Further there are four other lifting strakes on each side of the keel. Altogether this design gives the boat fast times to plane and makes her capable of speeds in excess of 70 mph with a 250-hp outboard, according to the builder.
Nitro Says. Her builder says she'll do 66 – 68 mph (106.2 – 109.4 kph) with the standard 200-hp OptiMax, and 70 – 72 mph (112.7 – 115.9 kph) with the optional 225-hp, and 74 – 77 mph (119.1 – 123.9 kph) with the optional 250-hp, which confirms what we have heard elsewhere. This sounds plenty fast to us, given she's just 20'1" long and about 3,600 lbs. (1,633 kg.) loaded.
Power options include Mercury OptiMax Pro XS outboards from 200-hp to 250-hp. No matter which motor is chosen, it can mount on the standard 10" jack plate for maximum performance.
Dual 20-gal. (75.71 L) Guardian livewells come with aerators, timers, recirculators and pump-outs. Nitro says the livewell lips are anti-slosh.
Control the livewells with these rocker switches at the helm. And they look cool, too.
Major Features
●2 aerated Guardian livewells with timers, recirculators, and pump-out systems
●70-lb. thrust trolling motor
●Recessed foot pedal for trolling motor
●Two 20-gal. (76 L) livewells with baffles
●Rapid Planing System transom design
●1 bike seat with pedestal
●1 casting seat with pedestal
●Custom-matched tandem axle trailer
●Shallow draft (14")
●Optional, removable companion console
●10" jack plate
16-oz. carpet lines the forward storage bins for rods or any other gear. The port and starboard lockers have automatic lighting activated by the lid.
Optional Extras
Options Galore. There isn't much really needed to add to the Z-8 to get the job done, but all anglers and boaters have different thresholds of what they think "should" and "needs" to be on their pride and joy. For that reason, Nitro has one of the longest lists of options we have ever seen for a 20' bass boat.
Sensible Options. One thing that might be wanted by particularly keen anglers is a fishfinder on the bow that costs as little as $205, but can go as high as $4,755, for example. The standard Lowrance fishfinder in the dash can be changed out for far more sophisticated gear for a similar range of up-charges. Also, upgrading the trolling motor runs between $345 and $940. We'd want trim control on the steering wheel ($70), the Hot Foot throttle ($150) and maybe tilt steering ($200).
All boats need covers, and here they are optional and some can be expensive. We have found that it is always best to buy from the builder to ensure the best fit and color match. And, of course, the trailer can be upgraded.
The 24v Minn Kota Maxxum trolling motor, standard, develops 70 lbs. of thrust and has a 42" shaft. More powerful options are available, up to a 36V, 109-lb. MotorGuide Digital Tour Series with a 50" shaft.
MSRP for the Z-8 is $35,595 with prep and freight and standard power. With the optional 225-hp OptiMax Pro XS delivered it is $37,540. The 250-hp OptiMax Pro XS, including prep and delivery is $40,340.
The transom of the Nitro Z-8 reveals a design as sophisticated as any on the bass boat market. (A) These arrows indicate where the step is in the transom. (B) Arrows point to the lifting strakes. (C) The flat pad. (D) The 10" jack plate.
Even speed-crazed anglers who can't live without the large engine and a load of the optional goodies can buy the Nitro Z-8 for under $45,000; stick with standard power and equipment and she comes in for under $36,000. This is a price hard to beat.
But these prices beg the question: Why are other bass boats from $10,000 to nearly $30,000 more expensive?
An Answer. Most other bass boats in class are more expensive for a laundry list of reasons, none of which have to do with hull integrity (the hull has a lifetime warranty), speed, stability, comfort, or basic tournament-ready necessities. Some of the things that can cause boats to be more expensive are -- corporate overhead, corporate debt payments, corporate advertising and promotion including a large staff of expensive pro anglers, exotic materials, higher margins at corporate and dealer levels, more amenities, less-efficient production and lower sales volume, among other things.
Compared to Other Boats in Class. When we compare other bass boats in class we discover that Z-8 ties two others for being the beamiest, is about the same weight as two and heavier than three others, has a greater livewell capacity than all boats but one, carries a greater fuel load than all and may be the shallowest draft of any other bass boat in class. We say "may be" because most other bass boat builders do not give the draft of their boats in the 20' class -- a sure sign that they feel it is not competitive.
Based on our research, we can come to no other conclusion than the Nitro Z-8 is a capable boat and a very good value.

Miles, Byrne, Fryers, Livermore, Naughton, Luongo, Parrett, Carroll, Obika, Kane, Ceballos.That's our U21s starting line up today. By my reckoning 7 of the have at least made the first team bench, and have a real mix of experience levels within that - it much be invaluable to the Luongo's and Obika's to learn from the experience of the Livermore's & Naughton's.I know at the moment we're seeing a whole lot of gaps in our first team, but this line up gives me faith in the investment in the club's future and that the process of academy through to first team is being carefully managed.Thoughts, anyone?
I see we won 3-1 - and don't we play in the NextGen next week as well?
(it's 1-0 against MU's U21s at nearly half time)

John Keech of St. James normally like to play the 5 Star Cash scratch tickets, but when he went to purchase his daily ticket he decided to switch things up a bit.
"After I noticed that someone else was already playing those tickets, I decided to go with another choice," said Keech. "I played the Diamonds and Pearls and started [scratching the ticket] in the middle for some reason."
The first symbol Keech uncovered in game two was a pearl necklace, so he knew he won a prize. As he began to scratch the prize from right to left, he kept revealing more and more zeros until he saw the $100,000 top prize.
Keech purchased his winning ticket at Steve's Corner, Inc., located at 1020 Seventh Ave. S in St. James. He claimed the prize at Lottery Headquarters in Roseville on March 19.
Diamonds and Pearls is a $5 scratch game that offers a $100,000 top prize. Overall odds of winning a prize by playing diamonds and Pearls are 1 in 3.6. There is currently one $100,000 top prize remaining.
Proceeds from the Minnesota State Lottery benefit all Minnesotans. Since 1990, the Lottery has raised more than $2.2 billion for state programs. The General Fund has received more than $1.3 billion to help fund important functions such as education, public safety and health and human services. More than $875 million has funded critical environmental programs.

The first round of the North Coast Section prep football playoffs pretty much went according to form Friday night, with just one of the 15 first-round games featuring a real surprise ending.
In fact, other than Bishop O'Dowd High's 16-13 win over Acalanes in Division III, the other 10 playoff games played by teams in the top three divisions Friday night produced an average score of 44-12.
From San Ramon Valley's 66-0 win over Antioch, to James Logan's 56-8 victory over Irvington, to Concord's 50-6 win over Mt. Eden, the numbers just didn't add up for the lower seeds.
The one big upset came in Division IV action at Chabot College, where second-seeded Valley Christian-Dublin was beaten 18-13 by 15th-seeded Drake of San Anselmo.
Here's a closer look at Friday's NCS playoff results:
The No. 7 seeded Falcons will play at No. 2 California (8-2) in next Friday's quarterfinals. The Grizzlies had a first-round bye.
The Wolves now take on the winner of Saturday's game between Castro Valley and Amador Valley in the quarterfinals next week.
With the win, the Colts (10-1) will host the winner of Saturday's Freedom/Berkeley game in the second round on Nov. 17 at 7 p.m.
The Gaels will play at top-seeded Clayton Valley next Friday night.
The No. 7-seeded Knights (5-6) advance to take on No. 2 seed Rancho Cotate (10-0) next Friday.
Concord travels to play No. 4 Casa Grande in Petaluma next Saturday. The Minutemen defeated Casa Grande two years ago 26-21 in an NCS semifinal on their way to the Division II crown.
Newark advances to take on No. 3 Northgate (8-2) next Saturday.
O'Dowd will play next week against the winner of Saturday night's El Cerrito vs. John F. Kennedy-Fremont game.
Campolindo will host a playoff game next Friday night against the winner of Saturday's Analy (10-0) vs. Tamalpais (6-4) game.
Cardinal Newman (10-1) will have a home game next Saturday against the winner of Saturday's game between Encinal (6-5) and Novato (7-3).
Valley Christian's Vince Volpatti threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Austin Simmons with 3:46 to go to close within 18-13. Valley Christian then recovered an onside kick, but three plays later Drake's Tyler Weeks intercepted a pass to seal the upset.
The Panthers (6-5) will play at No. 1-seeded Justin-Siena next Friday night.
The Timberwolves will take a nine-game winning streak into next Saturday's game against the winner of Saturday's game between No. 4 Arcata (9-1) and No. 13 Moreau Catholic (5-5).
St. Helena will play the winner of Saturday's game between Salesian and John F. Kennedy-Richmond.

USA, 2012, 82 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Biographical, Documentary, Music
Programs: Documentary, Reel Social ClubLanguage: English
You may not have heard of Butch Walker, but you have probably heard Walker's work, whether his own music or one of his collaborations with artists like Train, Weezer, Fall Out Boy, and Pink. He is a foundational force in the music industry, as both producer and songwriter. We are introduced to Walker, the musician, a performer for over 20 years who has never stopped playing his own music and has a group of loyal fans who have known him for just as long.
Out of Focus goes beyond highlighting Walker's persona as a behind-the-scenes musician. The man who plays tightly written rock songs influenced by his Southern roots and anecdotal instincts is also a loving son and father. His struggles are revealed in his relationship with an ailing father and in his own journey in parenthood as he attempts to raise a four-year-old son from the road and at home.
Filmmakers Peter Harding and Shane Valdés have crafted a moving documentary about one man's pursuit of both the love of his family and great music.

INDYCAR's CEO Randy Bernard did a nice job touching off a flurry of activity on Twitter last night, by asking if fans would be up for a Las Vegas street race.
It seemed as if the response was generally enthusiastic, although to be fair, there are certainly folks who are in no hurry to see another street course, even for Las Vegas, added to the schedule. Drivers such as Dario Franchitti, Tony Kanaan, and Charlie Kimball chimed in quickly to add their support for such an event.
I think a lot of fans feel going back to the Las Vegas oval would be problematic for next year, if not indeed a longer time span (I'm undecided on how I'd feel about returning). I love ovals, but I'd really like to see both a Vegas street race and another oval found to replace Vegas (perhaps easier said than done at this late juncture, I know).
Just for fun, I dug up the 2007 Vegas Grand Prix from Champ Car's final season (in a complete shock to no one, Will Power won the event). You can find Part 1 here, and Part 2 here. Here's John Oreovicz's recap of the event. I like the Champ Car course, but there's always something better. If RB could get the city to agree to something on or adjoining the Strip, how huge would that be?
While I'm dreaming, I'd love to see a Las Vegas course run at night. If you really want an iconic race, run with the the neon lights of the Strip on brilliant display in the background. If we could do at the the Grand Prix of Houston at night, there's got to be a way to do it in Vegas (I know, I know, Houston was run in Reliant Park, but still). I think Vegas is an exciting, vibrant market where Randy Bernard has a lot of contacts and pull, still a ton of potential, and I hope the series works something out to get it done.

I'm with you; I'd like to see a return to Vegas, but also want another oval. I think a race on the Strip would be huge, though.ReplyDelete
I really think not racing at the Vegas oval would be a mistake. We still race Indy, Toronto, and Fontana after allReplyDelete
I can totally understand that POV, Dylan. For me, it'd be weird, because I felt so close to this incident, but things might be different next fall. And I do think the new car will help with some of the perceived issues. I'm trying not to make any statements one way or the other until I figure out how I feel about it.ReplyDelete

On Ash Wednesday, a Sidewalk is Their Church
By Adam Janos
New York Christians wanting to mark Ash Wednesday without entering a house of worship were granted a spiritual quick-fix in Union Square, where members of a group called Presbyterian Welcome gathered to give ashes to busy or otherwise church-averse commuters.
"This is a way to open up the ritual to others who want to mark this beginning of a season for them, but have been turned away from the church or are not really interested in some kind of traditional church experience," said Reverend Mieke Vandersall, 37 years old, executive director of the LGBT-friendly church organization.
Rev. Vandersall – who said her path to ordination was blocked by her church because she is openly gay – said, "I know that story pretty well, but from a different angle. There are limits in the institutions, and we need to begin to rethink where we find God."
For some of the commuters who took advantage of the group's offering to kick of Lent, the decision to get street-side service was less about church politics and more about the pressure of a packed New York schedule.
"I came because of time," said Blesson Simon, 36, real estate appraiser. "There's a church on 14th street, but I didn't have time to wait for the next homily," said Mr. Simon, explaining that he had to go to a doctor's appointment, which broke up his morning. "So I prayed a little bit, went to the doctor's, then came here."
"It's really inconvenient," added Jenny Noriega, medical receptionist. "It's either really early, or you miss it. Then it doesn't happen again until lunchtime, and it gets packed. St. Agnes has a line around the block. Here I can come and it happens immediately."
Others like Damon Miller, a welder, cited his own perceived moral failings as reason for avoiding the more traditional setting of the church.
"I used to go as a boy. But now, maybe with drinking and the things I do, I feel guilty about going," the 46-year-old Harlem resident said. "I still speak with God and say my own prayers, but I don't want to be a hypocrite," by attending church services.
Presbyterian Welcome is one of several groups offering ashes at spots around the city.
Volunteer Jennifer Kottler, 49, took the train down from Katonah, N.Y., to help give ashes with Presbyterian Welcome. A spiritual director in Westchester, Ms. Kottler believes that, "Christianity has been its own worst enemy… we appreciate the fact there's a large segment of Christians who are very judgemental, and parishes where folks would not feel welcome."
Matt Beams, a choral director for a private school in Jersey City who also volunteers with Presbyterian Welcome said that he first met activists in the group through Not So Churchy, a monthly meet-up which re-contextualizes Christianity in a less formal setting. "There's music," Mr. Beams said. "We eat chocolate."
"We're quite Jesus-y, but not in that way we grew up with."
Luz Felix stopped by the Union Square site to get ashes shortly before noon and said afterwards that participating in the ritual was something nice to come back to after many years away.
"It's been a while," the unemployed 49-year-old said. "I lost that community."

I have been using PSM for years now and been frequently reading the forum since then. I have also followed the threads regarding the possibility to delete media from the server right away from the PS3. However the danger of accidently deleting files is high and thus I understand the objection against such a feature.
I am starting a new thread because this will be the thread of my plugin "RemoteDelete" currently in development that will (in antithesis to its name) never delete any file but still give you the possibility to ged rid of unwanted media.
You may expect a beta within a week. I am posting ahead already because I have some questions to the PMS crew and/or other developers regarding a few optimizations of my plugin. If you cannot help me with that you can skip the next paragraphs. At the end of the post I include my current readme-draft that outlines the features to be expected in the first beta release.
Development Questions:
All questions are regarding the current head from SVN.
Any better Method of refreshing (virtual) folders?
First I was using the DLNAResource.refreshChildren() method but that would take forever to take place. Sometimes it does not occur within 10 minutes. My current method of rebuilding folders is .getChildren().clear() which takes place within a minute, sometimes even immediately but will always be faster if you completely leave the media and reentering the folder from root. So is there any better / faster method of rereshing the media structure during runtime.
Is there a way to tell PMS to close all File Handles to specific media files or directories
RemoteDelete gets unwanted files out of the scope of PMS by moving them to a folder outside the media folders. My currently favored option is to queue and retry the operation in specific intervals since PMS seems to unlock the files after a while. I have also been thinking about restarting PMS for emptying the trash as well as utilizing tools like Unlocker.
The first isn't immediate, the second makes the PS3 disconnect from the server for a while and the third isn't platform independent. I'd like to find a better way.
Serially marking files for deletion with "gestures"
In addition to the ##-MARK FOR DELETION-## folder on each media folder I would like to implement a second method of moving files to my virtual trashcan which shoud work as follows.
Each media folder has a virtual folder that recursively collects all media from the subfolder structure.
Each file in this virtual folder begins playing in the middle of the video and is shortened to 10 seconds of playback.
If the user skips to the next video within the 10 seconds, the video shall be marked for deletion. Otherwise it will be kept if the full 10 seconds are played and the PS3 moves on to the next file.
Do you think it is possible to do this between buffers, network and unprecise timing?
So here's the Readme:
Though this plugin is called RemoteDelete it will actually NEVER DELETE any files or folders from your media server. The reasons why this would be to dangerous have been discussed on the official forum.
Instead it allows you to use your Media Renderer (i.e. PS3) to mark files and folders for "deletion". In the RemoteDelete virtual folder in your library you will be able to empty the trash which will still NOT DELETE but move the "deleted" files and folders to a folder outside the scope of PMS.
So these are the Steps to happy deletion
1.) Browse your Media Files and mark things for deletion
2.) Empty The Trashcan (using your Media Renderer) which will move the files to a folder outside the PMS library (By Default it is <Root Of Drive>/PMS_Trashcan)
3.) Manually empty the Trash Folder from time to time or use a task scheduler / cronjob to have it done automatically
Configuration options explained:
rdLogEnabled (true/false, default true) & rdLogPath (default plugins/RemoteDelete.log):
rdLogEnabled enables the log output of RemoteDelete. rdLogPath is the path to the logfile. If you do not specify an absolute path the log will be written relatively to the PMS program folder.
rdAsyncMoveQueueInterval (Interval in seconds, default 60):
Normally the movement of the files should be very fast since RemoteDelete maintains (tries to maintain) a trashcan folder for each partition. But sometimes the media server itself locks files or directories while maintaining its library. As long as thos are locked the files cannot be moved. Therefore RemoteDelete maintains a queue of items to be moved to the trash folder and retries to move previously locked items at the given interval.
rdDeleteFolder (One relative path OR comma separated list of absolute paths, default PMS_Trashcan):
RemoteDelete tries to quickly move deleted items to the specified trash folder. This normally succeeds if source and destination reside on the same physical harddrive. From within Java it is not easy to determine the boundaries of physical harddrives on every OS.
On Windows you should be fine with the defaults. RemoteDelete will move the files to the Root of the Drive (i.e. C:\PMS_Trashcan, D:\PMS_Trashcan, ...)
On Linux the defaults are probably not that good because the trashcan will be /PMS_Trashcan by default. You should define rdDeleteFolder with a list of the mount points of your physical harddrives containing media (i.e. rdDeleteFolder=/var/media/PMS_Trashcan,/home/peter_paul_and_mary/PMS_Trashcan. RemoteDelete will automatically chose the best folder for each moved file or folder from the list.
Mac OS? Hell be a man and buy yourself a computer. These glossy and shiny things don't do anything well.
rdKeepAsyncMoveQueueOnDisc, rdKeepTrashcanOnDisc (true / false, default true):
If true RemoteDelete will rescue remember in the virtual trashcan folder and move queue after a crash or restart of PMS. Otherwise it will keep these lists only in RAM.
rdKeepFolderStructureInTrashcan (true/false, default true):
Specfies if RemoteDelete should move files and folders with their complete path.
Example: Sourcefile is D:\Videos\Movies\Terminator\Terminator.mkv
Destination if true: D:\PMS_Trashcan\Videos\Movies\Terminator\Terminator.mkv
Destination if false: D:\PMS_Trashcan\Terminator.mkv
Feel free to post suggestions and feature requests

At 40-years-old, Nick Reeser of Lansing owns a small cleaning company and works an extra part-time job to himself afloat, but it's come at the expense of his health.
"I've had a lot of problems with getting coverage," said Reeser. "The medical plans are just extremely expensive."
Currently on a temporary county health plan, Reeser makes too much money to qualify for medicaid. But with Tuesday's Senate Vote to expand the federal health care program, Reeser and other patients at Carefree Medical and Dental are one step closer to having to worry about coverage.
"This is really important to the residents of Michigan and especially in Ingham County because we have a high percentage of low-income, but working individuals," said Michelle Lantz, of Carefree Medical and Dental.
Low-income, working people is exactly who will benefit from the expansion. Currently, adults that make up to 35 percent of the poverty level qualify for Medicaid in Michigan. Under the expansion, those who make up to 133 percent of the poverty level would be covered.
That equals roughly $15,000 a year, $30,000 a year for a four-person family.
But first, the legislation has to pass through the house because of additional amendments added after the initial vote, earlier this year. The Michigan Department of Community Health, which is in charge of monitoring the changes, expects that to happen, benefiting the entire state.
"When people don't have health insurance, they go to the emergency room and they receive care, but they can't pay for it," said Angela Minicuci, MDCH Spokesperson. "That gets shifted onto businesses and taxpayers in Michigan."
The expansion should increase doctor visits related to prevention, helping people like Nick Reeser.
"I'm sure I'm not the only one who waited until the last second, found the last dollar, to make it happen," he said.
MDCH hopes to have the measure passed through the House by next week.

Though they are little-known, hard to find, often harder to get to, there are at least a dozen "natural sand beaches" in New York City -- along the Hudson River, the East River and the Harlem River . That was the discovery of a group of walkers, boaters and especially kayakers who have started mapping them. These are not generally, and may never be, good swimming beaches; river currents and pollution would make swimming off most of them impractical. But the kayakers in particular see them as potentially wonderful landings.
There are ambitious plans for some of them. For others, their strongest advocates would prefer for them to remain obscure.
East River Beach
One stretch of sand -- the only one in Lower Manhattan -- lies under the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. Debris covers much of the beach -- twisted metal from wrecked pier pilings, lumber, concrete. But at low tide, water laps a sandy shoreline some 200 feel long and 20 feet wide. A fence along the walkway/bike path under the FDR Drive blocks access, but there's quite a view with the shoreline below and the bridge rearing up overhead.
In May, at the Waterfront Committee meeting of Community Board 1, a proposal to make the beach more accessible met resistance. Rob Buchanan, an avid kayaker and magazine writer about the outdoors, was among a group proposing a boat landing and access to the walkway. There are so few places for boaters to launch and land, and the place under the bridge has the advantage of being on the lee side of the river in calm water, he said.
The plan includes access from the walkway. Board and audience members worried that easy access would lead to children wandering in and drowning. They tabled the proposal. Four years ago, they also reacted negatively to Lower Manhattan Development Corporation plans for access to the water as part of the development of the area.
After the meeting last month, the chair of the Waterfront Committee made her distaste for the project clear to Downtown Express, "I'm not a proponent of the beach, quite frankly. I do worry about children and drownings."
Others say that there is little danger of this, pointing to a just a handful of incidents in the past. Gary Fagin, who has lived near the South Street Seaport for 20 years, remembers just one accidental drowning in the area.
Maggie Greenfield of the Bronx River Alliance, an organization that is working on developing greenways in the Bronx, says that more public access to the water will actually enhance safety. "We'll have more eyes down there," she says.
Hudson Access
The other beach-like areas on the rivers are generally treated with benign neglect. But one proposal is likely to gain purchase. That is for a beach that may include swimming on the Hudson River west of the Meatpacking District. It's a long-term proposition, however. First sanitation trucks have to be relocated, and that won't happen until 2012, says Chris Martin of the Hudson River Park Trust.
David Snetman, bicycle campaign coordinator of Transportation Alternatives can think of only one area where water laps the Hudson shoreline in Manhattan. It is north of Riverbank State Park at 145th St. and continuing up past the George Washington Bridge. Along that stretch, cyclists and walkers stretch out on a grassy bank that slopes into rocky shoreline. That area provides the longest, most civilized and good-looking shoreline access in the city.
Harlem River, East River Access
At either end of Dyckman Street in Upper Manhattan New York Harbor Beaches show places to get to the water. On the east, on the Harlem River, a muddy beach by New York Restoration Project's restored wetlands. On the West end of Dyckman Street, there is a parks department sign for a kayak launch site. That doesn't make the place easily accessible. "It's official, even though you have to crawl through a hole in the fence," says the caption to the picture of the lovely-looking natural area.
On the East River, Stuyvesant Cove (around 23rd St.) provides a view of water lapping a rocky outcropping.
Brooklyn and Queens
In other spots along the river it takes some ingenuity to stick a toe in the water or park a boat. The New York Harbor Beaches Web site shows an aerial view of little beach areas in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, Hallets Cove and Queens near Socrates Sculpture Park. In DUMBO, there are a few areas along the river with rocks, sand, and grass. One is right under the Manhattan Bridge. Another is in Empire-Fulton Ferry State Park.
Bronx Advocacy
Greenfield of the Bronx River Alliance says the greenway will open up water access in several places in the long-neglected and closed-off area of the South Bronx. An old concrete plant is being remade into a park that will have access to the shore. Now, residents can get to the water along Soundview Park, West Farms around East Tremont Avenue and the Bronx River Forest.
Leaving It Alone
Not everyone wants to remake bits of the shoreline into official parks. Gary Fagin, who leads the Seaport Community Coalition, which is involved in historic preservation and quality of life for the neighborhood around the South Street Seaport, says that cleaning up the debris to make the beach under the Brooklyn Bridge more conventionally attractive would be useless. The tides would just bring back more detritus. "I scratch my head when I think of other ways for it to be of use," he says. He'd like to see it just left alone with the remnants of the old pier that once went out to the base of the bridge. "You can see water lapping against the beach. It's an evocative vista." He worries that attention to the scruffy spot could lead to some kind of reconstruction that would obliterate the little shoreline. For him, no news is good news. "The further under the radar, the better for the area," he says.

One local student is spotlighting how dangerous "spice," or synthetic marijuana, can be. (WRDW-TV / April 27, 2012)
News 12 at 11 o'clock / Thursday, April 26, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- A 14-year-old boy busted for giving drugs to another kid at school says most parents would be shocked to learn what happens in the hallways.
So he wants to tell you. He wants to shine a spotlight on spice.
We are hiding his identity to protect him, but he says it's important for parents know what their kids could be facing on a daily basis. "Drake," as we'll call him, is 14 years old. He's a gifted student who had a clean record until one bad decision got him expelled from school.
"He was like 'I have this stuff. I don't know if you've ever heard of it. It's called spice.' And I just figured it was a different form of marijuana," he said. "We were in the bathroom, and he told me to come into the bathroom and buy it from him, and I was like, 'I'm not sure what this is, but I'll just sell it to someone.'"
It only cost him $3 for a couple of bags. Then, he made his first drug deal.
"It was after lunch, after I gave it to the dude. I was in fifth period, and the assistant principal came, and he was like, 'Bring all your stuff with you,' and he brought me to his, I think, security guard's office."
Drake says he confessed and handed over the rest of the spice.
His mother was shocked when she got the phone call Drake was in trouble.
"My children have had drug education through our family beginning at grammar school," she said.
She taught him about marijuana, crack, cocaine and the rest of the so-called "big ones, " but this was the first time that I'd ever heard anything about spice," she admitted.
She immediately started researching it, and every word that popped up on her computer screen scared her more than the one before. It terrified her "because it could have led to me getting a call that someone else's child was dead after smoking this substance that my son possessed at that time."
Experts compare spice to meth and other hard drugs.
"It's almost like PCP," said Richmond County's Drug Court Coordinator Ted Wiggins.
He has seen a lot of dangerous drugs and the effects it can have on people, but the fake form of marijuana scares him.
"It's a synthetic drug, and it's untested. We don't have a clue what the long-term effect is," he said.
However, experts are learning more every day about the short-term effects. Some include vomiting, heart palpitations, hallucinations, anxiety attacks and even death. Just last month, it killed Chase Burnett in Peachtree City. The 16-year-old was an honor student , active in his church and played soccer.
Wiggins thinks chances are pretty good your child's either used or been around spice as well. When asked how many kids come into contact with it he told News 12 his "educated guess would probably be anywhere from 25 percent to 50 percent."
That's why Drake wanted to warn other kids about how dangerous it can be. His mom says she even contacted his school, begging the principal to send home a note to warn parents it had been found in their child's school. She was told something like that would require board approval and a lot of time.
"I feel that we can't wait for proper procedures in order to inform the public about something that might save their children's life," she said.
Her son got caught, and she says that might have saved his life. She worries other kids might not be so lucky.
Drake says he wants to start some kind of spice awareness program at school next year. He wants to share what he's learned with other kids to help them and to turn getting into trouble into something positive.
His mother also wants to get involved. She says she learned a lot from our interview with her son. When I sat down with Drake, he admitted he'd tried marijuana once as well as another drug (He didn't know the name of it. He says it was just offered to him). His mom didn't know about that, and she has had discussions about drugs with her son. She says it's a good lesson to have the conversation more than once.
