New York – New York City Council members slammed plans to put limits on sugary drinks, with new opinion polls showing Americans do not back the scheme.
Lawmakers ridiculed Health Commissioner Thomas Farley, one of the architects of the ban, during the Monday hearing on the Health Department's budget.
Councilman Oliver Koppell (D-Bronx) demanded to know if Farley also planned to limit king-size candy bars or beer.
And Councilman David Greenfield (D-Brooklyn) wanted to know why the city would not consider limiting the size of burgers or fries.
He said, "Why are you taking this piecemeal approach, which may or may not work, which you don't necessarily even have the science to back up?"
Farley defended the plan, saying people's well-being was on the line.
He said, "Obesity is a big problem ... The single largest contributor is the sugared drinks. There's something about this product which is particularly associated with weight gain."
Mayor Michael Bloomberg will formally submit the proposal to limit the size of sugar-sweetened drinks and fruit drinks made up of less than 70 percent juice to the Board of Health on June 12.
If the Board of Health approves the limits during a scheduled September vote, the ban would take effect in March 2013.
NY1 and Marist released a poll showing that New York City residents -- by 53 percent to 42 percent -- think the proposed 16-ounce limit on sweetened beverages is wrong.
The biggest opposition was on Staten Island and in Queens, where 58 percent of residents oppose the suggested ban. Manhattanites were sweetest on the low-sugar push, with 52 percent supporting it.
A separate Rasmussen Reports survey Monday showed that 65 percent of Americans oppose such a plan, while only 24 percent approve.
The limits would apply to restaurants, mobile food carts and other establishments that receive letter grades from the Department of Health -- about 20,000 in all. Violators would be fined $200 but would not lose points on letter grades.
The limits would not apply to diet drinks or beverages with fewer than 25 calories per eight ounces -- and would not apply to supermarkets or 7-Eleven stores, which market super-sized sodas.

Music to your ears - Ashtown Lodge on market for €5.95m
Published 30/11/2012 | 05:00
The tinkling of fountains and waterfalls are among the musical sounds reverberating around Ashtown Lodge, near Castleknock, in Dublin 15, which was once home to the Walton family, famous for their Dublin musical shop. The family also set up the Glenside record label and sponsored a show on Radio Eireann, whose famous sign-off line was: "If you feel like singing, do sing an Irish song."
The firm's founder Martin Walton fought in 1916 and was imprisoned at Ballykinlar in Co Down, where he formed and taught the camp orchestra and he subsequently established a school of music at the family's North Frederick Street premises.
In the 1980s the family sold it to the O'Reilly family, best known for their car auction firm Merlin. Now it is for sale for €5.95m – a €550,000 reduction on the asking price sought earlier this year.
Its lure is not just the period main house, or even its two other houses, but also its attractively laid-out 25 acres set beside the Royal Canal.
Landscaped gardens with statues of a variety of animals, fountains, an orchard, a floodlit tennis court, an indoor swimming pool, five stables, a stream, pitch and putt course and woodland walks, bordering the Royal Canal are just some of the enjoyable pleasures of the estate.
Its three period residences, the main house, a gate lodge and a coach house have been fully restored or refurbished and have extensive frontage on River Road adjacent to the village of Castleknock.
The décor styles of the houses combine an interesting mix of Tudor and Georgian features set against a dramatic yet relaxing backdrop of manicured gardens.
Ashtown Lodge itself extends to 700sqm and includes three reception rooms, as well as a library, sunroom and study.
Its kitchen/breakfast room space is supplemented by a pantry. At first floor there are five bedrooms of which three are en suite while the garden level accommodates a two-bedroom staff quarters.
A 220sqm annex to this house accommodates an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area as well as three bedrooms and this brings to 10 the number of bedrooms in the main house.
The coach house extends to 580sqm and comes with a 17 metre indoor heated swimming pool which comes with a steam room as well as sets of doors which open to a patio and gardens. The Coach House also has six bedrooms of which two are en suite, and its large open-plan kitchen, dining area opens on to sunny gardens.
Other rooms in this building include a livingroom, playroom, drawingroom and study. Although its exterior was designed in the coach house style with a clock tower to fit in with the ambience of the estate, in fact this building was built as a separate spacious residence only about 20 years ago.
The 290sqm gate lodge has four bedrooms of which two are en suite. Its relatively recent refurbishment included the installation of Villeroy and Boch fittings in the bathrooms and underfloor heating.
Within a walled garden lies a circular ornamental pond with a fountain set against the backdrop of a waterfall style.
A seamless stream intersects the extensive lawns of the main house and all of these water features endow the whole property with its tinkling and relaxing ambience – an outdoor, natural, surround sound system 24/7 – before they were even dreamt of.
A mile-long circuit of paths through the grounds takes you past rolling lawns featuring various ornamental features including a mini steeple and can include a canalside walk close to the 12th lock of the Royal Canal as well as an orchard, and an endless array of trees and shrubs.
There are stables, should the new owner prefer to enjoy the grounds on horseback as well as rabbits and pheasant for those who enjoy game.
All of its features combine to suggest that the property may have potential as an ambassadorial property, or one for the hospitality industry as an equestrian resort or health farm.
With Dublin's hotel industry enjoying a recovery and new hotels in the pipeline, Ashtown Lodge might appeal to an operator.
The vendors wish to sell the property as one lot but a purchaser, or a group of purchasers, might well feel that they could recover some of their outlay by selling off one or two of the buildings or sites fronting on to the River Road at Castleknock.

Erin is a work-out-of-the-home New Jersey parent, who blogs at Woof Tweet Waah. She tries to find the humor in all situations. For more updates, follow Erin on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook and Pinterest.
When I wake up in the morning, before my brain can register what day of the week it is, my ears ring with the sounds of:
- Diva, my 10-year-old, egg-laying cockatiel, tweeting and "dancing" in her cage to the oldies station;
- Mr. Happy, my 6-year-old rescue dog, who suffers from many forms of anxiety, barking for someone to throw his favorite duck toy; and
- My 2-year-old toddler, negotiating potty training and screaming that it's time for her to feed Diva and Mr. Happy.
All of this happens before 6:15 A.M. I'm Erin, and my home resembles Times Square. It is loud, busy, exciting and sometimes smells like an overturned garbage truck on a hot day. Are my husband, Matt, and I off our rockers for embracing this lifestyle? Probably. We do have a daily pill sorter for our dog, after all. As my answers to frequently asked questions explain below, we can't imagine living our lives any other way.
Q: Doesn't having a small child and multiple pets make you crazy?
A: Craziness is all relative. There are plenty of things in the world that are crazier than having both small children and pets—would you cancel a trip to the park for your child or pet to burn off some energy due to a slight chance of rain? I don't think so.
Q: You have a lot of living things to keep happy. How do you get it all done?
A: Delegation! My pets and toddler often entertain each other. Think of all the fun, interactive games you can play as an interspecies family, such as an updated version of a classic game called, "Clue: What Did I Just Step In?" Watch the whole family gather at scene of the crime to uncover the mystery. Keep in mind, the one family member or pet who is hiding during this game is mostly likely the prime suspect.
Q: If you could do it all again, would you?
A: You bet! Rewind to 2004, when Matt and I brought home our bird, Diva. Even if I knew then what I know now—the mess, the noise and the smells – I would still make the same decision. They've all taught me important life lessons ranging from remembering to smile and dance to being sure to give unconditionally.
When we first adopted Mr. Happy, a trainer said he had no hope of getting over his fear of dogs. Guess what? You can teach an old dog new tricks. To me, a beautiful image is not a sunset—it is seeing your dog walk right next to another dog after going through weeks of specialized training.
I'm excited to team-up with ASPCA Parents to share the wonders of pet ownership and raising young children. Stay tuned for next month's post, when I share what's worse than having a horse's head in your bed. Don't worry—no animals were harmed in the process!

Remembrance service; Taste of the Ward; bird watching
Honor our history
On May 5, 1886, several thousand laborers marched to the Bay View Rolling Mills to advocate for the eight-hour work day. When the marchers didn't stop after being ordered to do so, the state militia fired on the crowd, killing seven protesters and injuring many others. This infamous moment in Milwaukee history will be commemorated Sunday at 3 p.m. at the historical marker on S. Superior St. and E. Russell Ave. Historian John Gurda will moderate the remembrance, which features a re-enactment by the Milwaukee Public Theatre and the Milwaukee Mask and Puppet Theatre, folksinger Larry Penn and a wreath-laying ceremony with Anita Zeidler, daughter of Milwaukee's former mayor Frank Zeidler. The commemoration is free and open to the public. »Read Full Article
Windfall Theatre still in tune with 'A Little Night Music'
Many Stephen Sondheim musicals benefit from being performed in a smaller space, where voices and emotions require no amplification to be heard and seen. That's perhaps most true of "A Little Night Music" - a delectable lemon meringue that combines the delicate, light farce of Hugh Wheeler's book with the tart filling provided by Sondheim's score.
It's therefore no accident that the nearby Writers' Theatre production of "Night Music" last summer - in a house that barely seats 100 - was better in every way than the 2009 Broadway revival featuring Catherine Zeta-Jones and Angela Lansbury. »Read Full Article(1)

Solo Sara Bareilles makes big impression in small room
The voice of Sara Bareilles could fill, and has filled, venues larger than the Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center Auditorium, which sold out its 435-seat capacity when she stopped there Friday night.
Bareilles was in the midst of her first-ever solo tour and evidently wanted the intimacy of a smaller venue - combined, perhaps, with the assurance that if she failed, she would do so in front of a smaller crowd. »Read Full Article(2)

BEREA, Ohio—Welcome to Cleveland!
Fittingly, the Browns called a press conference in blizzard conditions Wednesday afternoon to officially introduce Karlos Dansby, Donte Whitner and Isaiah Trufant to the media. The trio officially signed their contracts Wednesday.
Dansby, who has spent his entire NFL career in warm climates Arizona and Miami said he took a "leap of faith."
"I've never been in these type of weather conditions," Dansby said.
GM Ray Farmer and coach Mike Pettine were in the introductions of the newest Browns and Farmer introduced his first three free agent moves since taking over for Joe Banner and Mike Lombardi last month.
"Our goal is to assemble comprehensive units on both sides of the ball that can compete for a championship," Farmer said. "Winning is a shared charge and we want players with a shared mission: Turning this team and this town around. Another pillar in our culture is that every player we identify and acquire will have the ability to compete for a starting role."
Pettine didn't speak at the press conference but released a statement on Dansby and Whitner.
"Both of these guys are a great fit for what we like to do," Pettine said. "Donte grew up right here in Cleveland and he knows what style of football we play in our division. He's an explosive hitter, a tone-setter with a history of production. Karlos is a durable, dependable professional who makes guys around him better. He's a rangy linebacker who can cover and play three downs. He's an intellectual leader, a QB in a defense, and I'm sure he'll know our system inside, outside and backward. We want to be the toughest team on the field and these players both embody that."
Dansby and Whitner were picked up by jet and met by Joe Haden, Josh Gordon and Jabaal Sheard earlier in the day. The pair are expected to immediately have an impact on the Browns defense with their tough, physical style of play.
The road won't be easy to turn the Browns around after a 4-12 season in 2013 with a new coach and GM, but the newest Browns believe they can.
"That's what we believe and why we came together here," Whitner said. "I believe we can do it. We have a lot of the right pieces and now it's about putting it together."
"I'm ready to embark on this journey. These fans in Cleveland deserve winning football."
Dansby said he feels he's on a mission and thinks he can excel in Mike Pettine's defensive scheme.
"I think I might double my output here," Dansby proclaimed. "I think it's one of the best schemes here. I'm on a mission. I want to dominate at this position and in the process it raises the play of the players around you. I'm trying to double my output and make everyone better."
Dansby (6-4, 250) is coming off a career season, that he called his best of his 10-year career. He earned second-team Associated Press All-Pro honors in helping the Cardinals to a 10-6 record. Dansby will wear No. 56 for the Browns.
He led the Cardinals and posted career highs in both tackles (135) and interceptions (four), two of which he returned for touchdowns, and added a career-high 21 passes defensed, 6.5 sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Dansby became just the fourth NFL player with at least six sacks, four interceptions and two interception-return touchdowns in a season since sacks became an official stat in 1982.
"(I want to) try to raise the level of the guys around me," he said. "That's what I've been known for is to raise the play of the guys around me.
"Last year, was definitely the best year of my career, by far," he said. "Here, it's going to be the same type of situation. We got the hard hitter in the back end (pointing to Whitner) and keep adding pieces. I didn't have any choice, I had to come."
Whitner thinks he and Dansby will be able to add to the leadership of the Browns and help in changing the culture from a losing mindset to a winning attitude. Whitner was asked what he brings to the Browns from his days with the 49ers.
"First and foremost, leadership," he said. "You really have to change the mind set and the culture. I believe with us three and the some other guys, Joe Haden and others. It starts with being sound fundamentally and being physical each and every play. "
Whitner (5-10, 208-pound) is entering his ninth season. The Cleveland native who attended Glenville High School and played at Ohio State said it's a dream come true for him.
"It's a very special moment," he said. "Not too often do you get to play high school, college and professional football in the same state. We can change this thing around. My No. 1 thing is to come home and be around my family and help turn things around"
Whitner was selected to the Pro Bowl each of the past two seasons with San Francisco, helping the 49ers to the league's final four each year.
Whitner, who will wear No. 31, started all 16 games last season. He totaled 103 tackles, 12 passes defensed, two interceptions, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, garnering All-NFC honors from the Professional Football Writers of America (PFWA). Whitner has been durable, only missing 12 games in his career.
"I've only missed 12 games in 9 years," he said. "I don't think it's durability. It's the luck of the draw. Never had any major injuries. 12 games in nine years, I'll take that."
Trufant (5-8, 170 pounds) in his fourth NFL season out of Eastern Washington. Originally signed by the New York Jets as an undrafted free agent, Trufant has appeared in 39 career games, all with the Jets, with one start. A special-teams standout, Trufant has registered 34 special-teams tackles, including 13 last season. He has also added 18 career tackles on defense and two passes defensed.
Trufant, who will wear No. 34, came the hard way to the Browns, playing in the Arena League and UFL before getting a break with the Jets. He was with Pettine for a couple of seasons with the Jets.
"On the journey I've taken, you always want to shoot for the stars," he said. "(I had) no NFL offers (out of college) so I did the Arena league, UFL. It's been a ride. I'm enjoying it and now I'm a Brown now."
Whitner was asked how soon the Browns can compete at a championship level.
"It depends on when we all get together," he said "I believe we can get it turned around immediately. Once we get together and start to build and come together."

THE KIDS who attended St. Jerome Parochial School at Holme Circle always knew that no matter what - rain or shine, winter, spring or fall - they were going to get across the street safely.
That was because of the devotion of crossing guard Joan H. Fencl. For 20 years, Joan was always on the job, getting the students across the street, treating them with loving care, because, quite simply, she loved them - and they knew it.
Once, when her husband, George J. Fencl, who became a legend as head of the police civil-affairs squad, received a promotion, he told his wife she didn't have to work anymore.
