A look back: Best of Warren police logs, 2013
Taken from the Warren police report throughout 2013:
Police received a call about a man in a Patriots T-shirt panhandling on Child Street. No word on whether he was collecting for Tom Brady's new contract.
Police got a call that someone was throwing things (unidentified things) at pedestrians on Main Street.
Fire crews were called to a Main Street address at 11:25 p.m. for a "cookie mishap."
A Market Street woman told police that a man was in her shed. He was smoking, she noted.
Police reported a loose cow on Birch Swamp Road. Whether it had just gotten loose, or was of questionable moral character, was not specifically noted in the log.
A squirrel found itself trapped in a Metacom Avenue dumpster, but Animal Control Officer Heidi Garrity saved the day after getting the call around 11:23 a.m. "There were three guys sitting there, and they didn't want to touch it," she said. "One of them said, 'I'm not going near it, it looks sick!' I said, 'It's got trash on its face. What do you want?'" Officer Garrity moved a cardboard box next to the animal and it ran out and away, no worse for wear.
Yellow and black Mustangs were reported racing south on Metacom Avenue. Police didn't specify whether they were of the internal combustion or equine variety.
What's colder than an extra large slush on a hot summer day? The turf war going down between Palagis Ice Cream and Del's Lemonade. Police have been called twice this past week — once by Del's driver Roxanne Orien, once by Palagis driver Duncan O'Brien — with each accusing the other of selling frozen treats without the proper town approval. One of the arguments between the two got so heated that "it scared the customers," Warren Police Lt. Roy Borges said.
The makings of a small petting zoo got loose from their enclosures and meandered into Barton Avenue. Police noted several cows, a bull and two horses.
Follow along if you dare: Dispatch logs state that a woman came in to police headquarters "to speak with officer regarding a male inquiring about her ex-husband's wife at her residence with caller's personal info. Female states she did not get an info about male."
A bird in the bush beat one in the hand, when the animal control officer was called to Union Street for an injured bird. She determined that it wasn't injured and put it back in the bush from whence it came.
Someone called police to report spotting a broom in the middle of Metacom Avenue. Police did a sweep of the area and removed the broom.
We can't make this stuff up: A pony defecated inside Patriot Liquors.
(Then, a week after the pony incident …)
A Wood Street resident called police after spotting his neighbor's dog defecating on his driveway. No word on whether it was a "copycat" crime committed following the infamous Patriot Liquors pony poop case.
A man who loaned $2 to a friend called the police to complain after the man failed to repay him. With apologies to "Better Off Dead," he was not a paperboy on a bike.
Someone from Lyndon Street complained about a "sailboat parked on street." No word on whether the tide was extraordinarily high that day.
First world problem: A man on a bike was trying to find a good wifi signal for his cell phone, so he rode his bike out behind a Main Street business where there was a good signal. A delivery driver who worked there didn't know what he was up to, and called police.
Rescue crews went to the end of Maple Road to help an unfortunate angler who hooked not a fish, but a foot (his).
Someone complained that a man walking down Metacom Avenue may have been "grabbing at his crotch area." Police checked it out and found no problem. Explanation: "Male was walking to Job Lot."
A Touisset Road resident called police after spotting a raccoon in the house. The animal control officer was able to get the animal back outside with no problem. Switching species, police were also called to a Metacom Avennue business to help with the dispersal of an unwanted employee. That too went smoothly.
Police got a call about a cat on a Cutler Street roof. It was a hot day, but there was no word on whether the roof was tin. In any case, the owner said he'd get the animal down.
A "fowl" smell was reported coming from a dumpster on Church Street. No word if the smell was of the avian variety, smelled bad, or both.
Police were called to Main Street for an "issue regarding a pie." Sadly there was no elaboration on the log.
You can pretty much figure out how this call went. Police received word at 4:48 p.m. that a runaway cat was stuck under a car on Market Street. At 5:42 p.m.., after officers arrived, another call was placed: This time requesting rescue for an animal bite.
Police got a call about a possibly injured wild turkey on Parker Avenue. The animal control officer checked it out and found no evidence of fowl play.
A caller reported "subjects in a red vehicle going through trash cans. " No word on the number of smashed cans that resulted, if any.
Legions of ghouls, zombies, goblins and, perhaps even more terrifying — Miley Cyrus clones — were spotted wandering around town Thursday night, looking for candy.
Police got a call from Sanders Street about "parties arguing." Doesn't sound like much of a party.
Keep your rooms clean, kids. Police were called to Water Street at 5:17 p.m. by a woman concerned that her 12-year-old daughter had assaulted her 54-year-old grandmother. Police found there was no problem, and no assault; the grandmother only tripped over a toy left out in the girl's room.
What's worse than a giant pile of manure? One that combusts spontaneously, as one did at a Touisset Road home. Fire crews were called to put it out at 1:59 p.m.
Police responded to Fatima Drive for a "party soliciting meats." No word on whether it was noted Warren artist W.S.
A hapless angler off the East Bay Bike Path hooked a thumbfish.
Police got a report of a white rabbit loose on Child Street. No word if Grace Slick called it in. Or Jimmy Carter.
Police reported that a man on Union Street was severed with papers. Bad paper cut or typo? You decide.
Editor's note: As we head into the New Year, let's take a minute to give the Warren Police Department credit for the year's service. Police work is not an easy job and, while we make light of some of the things they have to deal with, they're always there when we need them, and work very hard. Happy New Year!

A major campaign to tackle homophobic attitudes in the NHS which has been backed by stars and celebrities from stage and screen has won a top award.
At a glittering awards ceremony last night the "Standing together against homophobia" campaign, launched by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC), picked up the prestigious CIPR Scotland Pride Award for Public Sector Campaign of the Year.
Since its launch the campaign - the first of its kind in the UK NHS - has been supported by a host of celebrities including A-list Hollywood star Alan Cumming.
It has also received more than 1200 online pledges of support from NHS staff and members of the public and more than 15,000 hits on its web page.
Scotland's largest Health Board launched the zero tolerance campaign to highlight that it treats homophobic attitudes and behaviour by its staff, patients or visitors as seriously as racism and sexism or any other type of discrimination.
The campaign has also received the backing of leading agency Stonewall Scotland which works to achieve equality and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people.
Ally McLaws, NHSGGC Director of Communications, said: "This is a tremendous accolade for the campaign which attracted tremendous support from staff, patients and public including a host of celebrities from stage and screen.
"The campaign's success lies in the strength of the statements made by those staff and patients who were bold enough to talk about the homophobia that exists in the NHS and wider community today.
"Standing Together Against Homophobia is a very important step in changing attitudes amongst staff and patients and their families, to create a culture where people can be open about their sexual orientation for the good of their health and overall wellbeing. It is our sincere wish that this campaign may have gone some way to addressing this issue."
Laura Sutherland, Chair of the CIPR Scotland, said: "Scotland can boast success amongst the plethora of consummate professionals in the communications world – this is a true accolade in itself and one to be celebrated and applauded. As the industry develops, more and more we are being held accountable for value, measurement and best practice. Tonight's awards have confirmed the wealth of talent in Scottish communications."
The groundbreaking campaign is photo led. The idea simple - members of the public or a member of staff can take a photo of themselves on their camera phone holding the A4 sign "I'm taking a stand against homophobia" (which is downloaded from the NHSGGC website) and then load it onto a dedicated website to show they back the campaign and that they are also "taking a stand against homophobia".

Helping Florida small business owners discover dozens of audit-proof deductions, credits, loopholes and strategies to slash your taxes.
When was the last time your tax preparer came to you and said, "Here's an idea I think will save you money." If you're not being asked that question by your tax preparer, maybe it's time you found one who has ideas on how to save you money.
Most accountants take a reactive approach with small business owners on saving money on their taxes. And, it's that reactive approach that can cause you to overpay…sometimes significantly on your taxes…sometimes for years. I mean, how would you ever know? Really. Most small business owners are just happy to get their taxes done on time and, hopefully, accurately enough that red flags aren't sent up for the IRS.

My name is Carl Hanton, Enrolled Agent. I've been preparing taxes for all kinds of businesses for over 25 years. Every year, without exception, I find small business owners like yourself, overpay your taxes. Believe it or not, some small business owners pay a whole lot less in taxes than others, even on the very same income. Why? Because all accountants, CPA's, and tax preparers are NOT the same. Most accountants and CPA's do a fine job of filing tax returns, getting the numbers right in the right boxes on the right forms. But then they call it a day. The real secret to managing taxes is...The Secret...

It's War of the Roses fought by The Real Housewives of New York in this hilarious if overlong morality tale of young love, old fools and happy endings. After 25 years of marriage-most of it squandered on unspoken disappointment, stifled grief and wasted affection-ex-ballerina Cynthia Power and real estate tycoon hubby Jackson are headed for divorce. At the same time, Jackson's latest condo project is teetering and Carolyn's ballet board is in turmoil. Though lesbian daughter Vivienne counsels Cynthia to "think three moves ahead," Jackson, torn between his ambitious and reckless lover and imperious father, is staying in the game by sheer grit. In the end, these volatile emotional wrecks learn to rely on their hearts. Grazer (The Starter Wife) has Hollywood cred and brings a rollicking romantic-comedy tempo to her story of busting up and moving on, even if the cast is strictly celluloid: lovely to look at and unlike anyone walking this planet.

Jackson Power. A name like the man himself: aggressive, ambitious, bullish. The prodigal son, heir to millions, built his own Manhattan real estate empire and revels in seeing his moniker Power! on glittering skyscrapers around the city that never sleeps. Beneath his desk in the towering Power headquarters, Jacks has a stack of newspapers and photographs of himself, shaking hands with the most famous men and women of his generation. Here's a man who's always loved to see his name in ink. Until now.
Cynthia Hunsaker Power. She is the epitome of elegance and society. The perfect foil for a man of Jacks's stature his first and only wife, he'd proudly tell any of his Master of the Universe (read: Gargoyle) friends. The former prima ballerina arrived in New York at eighteen, off the bus from Missouri, brimming with talent, beauty, and drive. She met a struggling painter, fell in love, and only later learned she'd won the Power lottery. Now she sits on the New York Ballet Theater board, effortlessly outdoing herself with one gala after another. But the press coverage of the Power silver anniversary party at the Waldorf takes the cake.
Jacks Power appears twice in the New York Post the next morning once gallantly dancing with his wife of twenty-five years, Cynthia; and once hand in hand with Lara Sizemore, morning television star, exiting her Upper West Side apartment building that very same night.
To Jackson Power, Lara is everything his wife Cynthia is not wild, voluptuous, mysterious, and self-sustaining. A new passion has swept Jacks off his well-shod feet and she is Lara Sizemore. He is ready for the divorce, ready to marry hismistress, America's Sweetheart. But Cynthia isn't ready to be swept out of the picture quite so easily.
Let the Divorce Games begin.
Whether they're changing the locks on each other in their Park Avenue triplex or sabotaging each other's dinner parties, it's The People's Billionaire vs. The Ballerina, in a split-up that will trump the most scandalous divorces known to polite New York society. Cynthia's got their twenty-five-year-old artist daughter, Vivienne, in her camp; Jacks has the young bartending playwright Adrian, whom he intends to pay to seduce Cynthia into an easy split. But Cynthia might have a few tricks up her well-tailored Chanel sleeve, and she like Jacks is prepared to use every weapon in her divorce arsenal to win the game. It's a battle of wits, of charm, of two of the biggest egos and personalities and bank accounts in Manhattan, and neither side will go down without a fight.
From beloved and bestselling author Gigi Levangie Grazer comes a sexy, sassy, smart novel, Queen Takes King.

Read an Excerpt
CYNTHIA HUNSAKER Power stood shivering in her kitchen, a silk robe wrapped around her sylphlike body, and wondered whom she'd have to fuck or fire to get a diet Red Bull. Her doe eyes, accentuated by last night's false eyelashes, blinked at the challenge. She flicked her traight black ponytail faded only slightly by age, and smirked. Cynthia's delicate mouth was stained, her beloved Chanel Red No. 5 intensifying her pale skin. Reality check, Cynthia, she thought, when was the last time you did either?
The chef wouldn't arrive until daybreak, the French butler was still asleep, and the housekeepers and drivers and trainers hadn't even tasted their first sip of coffee before hopping the train into Manhattan. Cynthia was alone in the kitchen, something she hadn't been since Vivienne was a baby. Had it really been almost twenty-five years?
She'd been jostled awake by a recurring dream.
"Snakes," Cynthia said out loud. "Even my nightmares are clichés." She imagined her therapist Dr. Gold's reaction: "Don't waste my time, bubule. I'm a very busy man. I've got a full day of undersexed neurotics."
Now. Find that Red Bull. The industrial-size refrigerator revealed nothing. There were no other clues. Her designer had prohibited appliances, declaring them aesthetically offensive. The kitchen looked like a morgue.
Open, close, open, open, slam, drawers upon drawers upon cabinets. No luck. Cynthia was sweating in her Hanros when she finally discovered a black machine with sleek lines; could this be a coffeemaker? It bore no resemblance to the dented aluminum percolator her mother had used back in Aurora, Missouri. She squinted, trying to make sense of the buttons and the timers and the vents. Cynthia refused to acknowledge the slow submerging of the printed word into a gray blur. Reading glasses? Forget it. Next, people would be whispering: "She was a real beauty in her twenties."
Even if Cynthia could bring Darth Vader to life, where was the coffee? She set the machine down.
And where were her Gitanes?
Caffeine and cigarettes, the breakfast of champions for ballerinas, even long-retired ones. What started out decades ago as a six-packa-day Diet Coke habit had morphed into almost a case a day of highoctane diet Red Bull as her metabolism slowed. Cynthia was Sleeping Beauty without her fix. And to make matters worse, Esme, her personal maid, had hidden the cigs from her, instructed to ration five a day 7:30, 10:30, 2:30, 6:30, 10:30 unless otherwise notified in times of crisis. Cynthia knew better than to bother anyone about her blessed unfiltereds at this hour.
Cynthia looked past the custom Bonnet stove she'd never used to the white Carrara marble countertop she'd used once, for a photo spread. The Town & Country layout had been featured several bright springs ago Cynthia sitting sideways on the cold marble, her black mane freshly blown out by John Barrett, her red mouth open in silent laughter (behold the bliss of the wealthy Upper East Side wife, the inside joke of the Park Avenue Princess). She could see her dancer's torso curved backward, one long leg emerging from the slit in her Armani, ending days later in the arch of her bare foot. The caption: "Cynthia Power, patroness of the New York Ballet Theater, feels as at home in her Baron Waxfield-designed kitchen as onstage in a pas de deux."
Cynthia the Perfectionist was known for being meticulous in her performances, onstage and off. Case in point: last night's pas de deux t the Waldorf. Two years to plan her twenty-fifth wedding anniversary party and it was over in four hours. But what a four hours: five hundred of their closest and dearest, including the mayor, the governor, Barbara, Julian, Peter, Anna, Donald, the De Niros, Marc, Harvey, Rupert, Charlie, Woody, Diane, Liz, Nieporent, and the Schwarzmans, feigned obliviousness to the paparazzi penned in on the north side of Fifty-first Street. Once inside, they were ushered into a ballroom, completely overhauled in homage to Versailles's Hall of Mirrors. Gargantuan reflective panes had been installed on one side; faux "windows" had been painted on the facing wall to replicate the intricate gardens. There were twinkling chandeliers and a ceiling painstakingly repainted as per the Sun King's original specifications. There was consensus among the people who mattered: New York hadn't seen a party like this since the Steinberg-Tisch wedding/merger at the Met back in the eighties.
If only her husband, Jackson Xavier Power, had seen fit to show up on time.
"Now what?" she asked herself. She had a full two hours before her Pilates instructor rang, but without a schedule and without her Red Bull, she wasn't sure exactly what to do. She could boot up her social calendar for the upcoming fall season or go through last season's closet and decide which dresses to donate to charity.
On a whim, she decided to go out and get the newspapers. Excited about getting the papers this was her life. Cynthia didn't fear running into anyone in the elevators at 740 they were perpetually empty. Still, she decided to take the stairs. The eighteen-room apartment (six bedrooms, eight baths) commanded the penthouse of the seventeen-story limestone building, a trek, but Cynthia needed to get her blood moving. She cinched the robe tightly around her waist and walked out the service door into the darkened hallway.
Five minutes later, Cynthia was back in the kitchen, the Post spread open on the Pedini island. Her reflection hovered at its edges forehead pinched, cheeks flushed, mouth agape. She played a game with herself, shutting her eyes, then forcing them open again. The photo remained unchanged.
Screw the Red Bull. Sleeping Beauty was wide awake.

The language was filthy! It wasn't what I was expecting. I won't read any other books by Gigi Levangie Grazer.
I was flipping through this book and I will not read it , at all, because the author cusses like a sailor. It's probably a good story, but terrible language.
I enjoyed reading this book. I tend not to be so analytical, as some reviewers tend to be. I either get into it and enjoy reading it or I put it down.
This is the perfect book to sit in the shade and read this summer. Juicy NYC rich elite lifestyle tidbits are mixed in with a nice rich character for a change. Queen Takes King was such a nice change of pace that stories are now geared toward older chick lit lovers like me. I thought a lot of the plot seemed to reflect the Trump divorce but maybe that is because I am on the west coast and don't hear much about the high profile divorce cases that go on there. I am sure there is a lot of dirt to go around. Also, the author has 3 mini doxies -- maybe her next book will include these adorable pups.
This was a fun book that was great for the beach!
Very amusing and original. I enjoyed it very much.
A frothy enjoyable read -- great for the beach, airplanes, leisure and recreation - you have encountered similar plots before, but still worth reading!
this is a beach read or plane or bus or long train ride-it is fast-enjoyable and keeps you moving-I would recommend it to the girls ages 30-70
Sexy, Fun Reading... I loved this book. It is pure entertainment and fun to read. Manhattan Power couple, king and queen of New York City, Jackson Power and Cynthia Power, get a divorce and in the meantime, unexpected surprises arise along the way. Jackson Power is a real estate mogul billionaire. Cynthia is the NYBT ballet Chairman. The ending was pleasing while surprising and left open for the reader to wonder what could happen next? I want more from author, Gigi Levangie Grazer. "Queen Takes King", is a fun, sexy, entertaining, funny, classy and interesting read.
I was excited to add this to my summer reading list, and got it as soon as it came out. It turned out to be a big disappointment. I read "chick lit" a lot during the summer months when I want something fun and easy to read. This however, was not worth the time. The story was boring with characters I couldn't have cared less about. I made it half way through the book before finally giving up, I wasn't going to waste more time on something I really had no interest in. Sorry if you, like me, were hoping for a winner with this one. I would pick up "Belong to Me" or "The Help" instead. Both great reads that leave QTK on the dusty bookshelf.
After a quarter of a century together, affluent NYC realtor Jackson Power files for divorce from his former ballerina Cynthia. She is particularly irate as she gave up her dance career for him and feels like she wasted her life trying to provide him with love and affection. She vows to take him to the cleaners.------------- Meanwhile his latest condominium realty project is going bust and the ballet board she is a member of is falling apart due to in-fighting; these add to an already stressful scenario. Their lesbian daughter Vivienne backs her mom insisting she rips her father's heart out because he had been cheating on her with a woman whose ambition is to be wife number two.--------------- QUEEN TAKES KING is a jocular look at a Hollywood family falling apart due the middle age couple drifting away from one another. The key four characters and much of the support seem to come out of Hollywood casting of an artistic affluent family albeit the First Wives Club. Although somewhat padded, Gigi Levangie Grazer provides an amusing saga of love and beyond with a Hollywood ending. ----------- Harriet Klausner

Out West, Gonzaga has continued to be a Top 25 and NCAA tournament regular for a dozen years under Mark Few.
These programs aren't fading from the national scene.
But like George Mason -- which hasn't exactly been a player on the national scene since its magical run in 2006 -- Davidson could be viewed as a one-year wonder, a program that caught the sport's heart and then dropped back into relative obscurity.
Davidson's Stephen Curry-led run to the Elite Eight in 2008 was similar to George Mason's Final Four appearance two years earlier. The Wildcats were within a whisker of upsetting eventual national champion Kansas and earning a trip to San Antonio.
Curry returned the following season, but his ankle injury left the Cats short of the NCAAs, and the season ended in the second round of the NIT. And the first year of the post-Curry era was humbling. Davidson finished 16-15 overall (11-7 in the Southern Conference), didn't play in the postseason and suddenly became an afterthought behind Wofford and the College of Charleston.
Lacking consistency from one year to the next in the NCAAs can make fame fleeting for programs outside the power six leagues. Failing to make the NCAA tournament again with Curry was a crushing blow to Davidson's image.
"We had a good run after the Elite Eight, winning 25 [regular-season games and finishing with 27 wins overall]. But if Stephen doesn't get an ankle injury maybe we play Butler differently [in a late BracketBusters game in which Curry was 6-of-23 in a 12-point loss] and maybe we [play better] in the conference tournament," said Davidson's longtime coach, Bob McKillop. "We had enough holdovers and connectors and role players [from the Elite Eight] to do damage that next year, but without Stephen full strength ."
And without Curry at all last season, the Wildcats really struggled to find an identity.
"We carried some of the swagger [into the season], but once we started losing games we didn't have Stephen to rely on anymore and we fell to a mediocre year," McKillop said. "You need to have a caliber of a player like Curry and that doesn't happen every so often. It's difficult to stay at the elite level. That's the elusive goal at our level. You don't want to be a shooting star. You'd rather be a shining star of excellence. George Mason hasn't had the elite level of success since the Final Four."
AP Photo/Michael ConroyCoach Bob McKillop is still around, but not much else is left from Davidson's memorable 2008 tourney run.
But McKillop -- much the same way George Mason's Jim Larranaga has done -- doesn't want to cut the ties from the Elite Eight run. He wants to embrace it as much as he can without expecting the Wildcats to duplicate.
"You can't detach yourself from the history that put you on the national level," McKillop said. "I don't ever want to detach ourselves from that."
Only two players from that team remain on the roster: senior point guard Brendan McKillop (the coach's son) and junior forward Ben Allison.
This season's team will have seven or eight sophomores or freshmen in the rotation, and if the Wildcats are going to challenge the new elite in the SoCon, McKillop said it will have to be behind sophomore guard J.P. Kuhlman and sophomore forward Jake Cohen.
"This will be one of our most talented rosters in my 22 years here, but it's also one of the more inexperienced," McKillop said. "How quickly they mature will depend on how good we can become."
Curry was a draw, and his team was a made-for-TV entity. Those games have essentially ceased, although the Wildcats will get a chance to be on display in the Puerto Rico Tip-Off next month with a first-round game against West Virginia. Vanderbilt plays Nebraska in the other matchup in that bracket with North Carolina-Hofstra and Minnesota-Western Kentucky on the other side of the bracket. That field was set two years ago.
"People want to see a success story, and we had a good chance to win and that's why that happened [in scheduling]," McKillop said. "That has all died down. There's nothing we can do about that now."
Gonzaga and Butler are on another plane, established high-major programs despite playing in leagues that are mid-major in financial terms and tournament success. The rotation of teams that have made runs out of the Missouri Valley, the CAA and SoCon have struggled to maintain their momentum on the national level. But that is the nature of their lot in this sport -- get a star or a team that sticks together, make a run and become a drawing card for a year or two and then slip back to the pack for a bit.
The top of the Southern Conference is improving and that can only help push Davidson. Teams responded when the Wildcats were dominant and garnered national attention, something that occurred in the West Coast Conference and Horizon in response to Gonzaga and Butler.
"This is the strongest I've seen the Southern Conference," McKillop said. "We're not starting at ground level. But the margin of error in our league is ever so slight. Wofford battled Wisconsin in the first round last season [53-49 loss] and that is an indicator how strong our league is. Charleston is going to be as strong as it has ever been now that Bobby [Cremins] has been there for a few years and they've got a candidate for player of the year [Andrew Goudelock]."
McKillop said the preseason has been great so far. He loves his newcomers, especially freshmen Tom Droney (a 6-foot-6 forward from Pittsburgh) and De'Mon Brooks (a 6-7 forward from Charlotte), whom he said "is one of the steals we've had in my tenure here, other than Stephen. He's really good. He's really explosive with two or three jumps in him. He's high-energy, a quick learner and has a real sense of how to play the game."
Now the trick is to turn someone like Brooks into a star and ensure that Davidson isn't just a flash in the sky, but instead stays bright for quite some time.
McKillop has pulled off that trick before, of course, and he'll need to do it again. The 60-year-old coach could have chased a higher-profile job after the Elite Eight, but like Curry decided to stay put in Davidson, N.C., where he's been since 1989.
"I love the challenge," McKillop said. "I'm more energized than I've ever been."

The London Underground has seen a multitude of passengers in its more than 150-year history – but a scorpion hasn't been among them, until now that is.
Tube travellers were left shocked after a potentially dangerous scorpion was found clinging to a man's bag at Victoria Underground station in central London.
The man screamed when he caught sight of the arachnid, but staff were quickly on hand after hearing the commotion, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
London Underground workers managed to capture the scorpion and placed it in a plastic lunchbox, which they pierced with airholes while they waited for police to arrive.
Specialist wildlife crime officers from BTP went to the station to remove the creature, which had been put on a shelf in the station manager's office.
PC Mike Charnick, who dealt with the incident, said: "There is a surprisingly wide range of wildlife on and around the railway network but this is the first time I've come across a scorpion.
"Station staff did a great job containing the animal and keeping it safe until we arrived.
"I contacted London Zoo and made arrangements to take the animal there to be assessed."
After the creature had been safely housed, keepers specialising in invertebrates contacted experts at the Natural History Museum, who identified the scorpion as a Centruroides - a potentially dangerous species - which may have come from the Caribbean.
Dave Clarke, bugs team leader at ZSL London Zoo, said: "It is bizarre that this species was found in somewhere like Victoria station. We have been keeping the arachnid safely and securely whilst establishing an exact identification of the creature.
"The scorpion really is a beautiful animal and it's a shame that it has been exposed to such a stressful situation."
The passenger who discovered the scorpion told staff he had been sitting in a park all day and had not been abroad recently.
He did not leave a name or any contact details so officers have been unable to work out where he picked it up.
No passengers were at risk during the incident, which happened in the evening of Sunday 6 April, BTP said.
PC Charnick added: "Our job is to make the railways safe for the travelling public, and that includes possible dangers posed by animals."

They grow up so quickly, you can hardly believe it. It only seems like yesterday that you were waving goodbye to the kids on their first day at high school. Now they are coming up to their final exams...and schoolies isn't far away. It's a big milestone in your family life. And it's a big milestone for your finances.
If you have a child finishing high school this year, you could find yourself with a new spring in your step come January, particularly with private schools costing as much as $30,000 a year.1 And if you're close to paying off your home loan you'll start noticing even more of a difference to your bottom line.
It's time to think seriously about how to use your newfound disposable income to secure your financial future.
One door closes, another one opens
A useful way to think about your personal finances is in terms of separate 'cash buckets'.
For a long time, you've needed to allocate a substantial amount of cash to immediate priorities—buckets for today marked 'school fees' and 'home loan repayments'. But now you've got a bit more breathing space to think about tomorrow. Perhaps you've already allocated some of your extra cash to go towards the buckets marked 'new car' or 'overseas trip'.
But it's also important to think about your future...and that of your kids.
The bottom line is we're all different. And there are as many different ways to build wealth as there are families. It depends on your personal situation—how many kids you have, how old they are and what sort of lifestyle you lead. It depends on your financial situation—how much you still owe on your home loan, how much tax you pay and whether you already have assets like an education fund or insurance bond to help with future expenses like uni fees. And it depends on your age—the closer you are to super's 'preservation age', the sooner you can start to access your savings.
No more empty nesters?
If you're expecting some breathing space after the HSC, here's the reality check. Expenses don't necessarily end with the 18th birthday party.
The cost of raising children can actually increase when they leave school. Many parents are contributing towards uni fees, first home deposits and weddings, as well as putting a roof over their children's heads for longer—almost half of young adults aged between 20 and 24 years are still living with their parents.2
So if you need quick access to your funds to help put the kids through uni, get on the property ladder or get hitched, you might want to look at investing outside super. But super remains one of the most tax-effective ways to save so that you can maintain your lifestyle in retirement.
Super still the one
You can invest in a wide variety of investments within super's tax-friendly framework—anything from direct property to shares, managed funds and property trusts. And depending on your age, you may not be tying up your money for as long as you think. You may be able to enjoy all the tax concessions super has to offer without needing to wait for a long time to get your hands on your money.
Any contributions to your super from your pre-tax salary up to $30,000 (or $35,000 if you're over 49) are only taxed at the concessional rate of 15%,3 which is lower than most people's marginal tax rate. Any earnings are taxed at up to 15%. And any withdrawals are tax-free once you can access your super.
With the Government freezing your employer's super guarantee contributions for seven financial years from 1 July 2014, you'll need to take your own steps to boost your super in the lead-up to retirement. But the good news is that limits on concessional contributions to super have been raised. So you can put even more of your pre-tax salary into super at the concessional rate of tax.
And in the lead-up to retirement, there's even a way to start drawing on your savings while continuing to work and ramping up your super. A Transition to Retirement (TtR) strategy may allow you to maintain your work hours, potentially increase your salary sacrifice contributions to super and supplement your income with a TtR pension.
We can help
There are lots of options and so much to think about.
If you still have a home loan, it's easy to assume that any extra cash should go straight into paying it off. But this isn't necessarily the best long-term strategy for your retirement savings. We can help you work out whether it's better to pay off your home loan or build your super.
Call AMP direct on 131 267 or contact your financial adviser to work out the best way to achieve your new financial goals now the kids are finishing school.

TravelPod Member ReviewsMarket Hotel Barcelona
Beautiful, dark and ambient, Hotel Market is the perfect place to stay in Barcelona. A ten minute walk from lots of major attractions, the old style hotel is calm and quiet. Perfect after hectic travelling and days of sight seeing.
The rainfall shower heads are brilliant, and the bath products a divine.
The complimentary bottled water in the rooms were a welcome addition.
The restaurant downstairs looks lovely, but we have not yet tried it.
Recommend this place to anyone, boutique hotel for bargain price.

We did a lengthy wander back to our own area and rested a bit before an early evening walk around the strange and wondrous Sagrada Familia church, ever under construction.

Initial impressions of Barcelona are a fascinating mix of architecture, excellent use of public spaces, wide leafy boulevards, and very clean.

Plaza JuarezMature
Report of Central Juarez
The snow was still hitting hard on the
ground, just like the snow storm in the mountains of Wyoming, the dry
snow hitting every thing in its path and with a wrath that few we
able to bare.''Need help'' said Lt Vasquez while he was taking a map
from the armoury close by me.
"No thanks I am good."
"Are you sure."
"Yes I am sure."
A long pause followed by
me saying.
"You know what you can
help me with something."
"What is it?"
"You know about the Merc
group that has its base made near the Plaza Juarez?"
"Yes, Why?"
"Well, pass me that map.
Here there is main route between the Santa Fe bridge and this area.
This area is under direct control from that Merc group. The thing we
shall do is to take back that area of the city, with this we will
take back some land and open another supply line."
"So the mission is go
down there dispose the main armoury or something as important as
that, or scare the crap out of them?"
"Yes, That is all we
must do?"
"What are the main
nationalities of the Mercs?"
"Mostly Asian and
African, some Middle Eastern."
"Some of these guys
better be weak in morale, so we can defeat them easily."
"I bet some of them are
, but I am scared of those Middle Easterns some are unbreakable."
"How many troops do I
get ready?"
"Some one hundred, take
that refurbished tank we got from the last battle with the Drug
lords, Don't tell anyone were we are going, I know there is a spy
among us."
"Ok sir, no problem."
There we were once again
preparing ourselves to a long and exhausting skirmish, This skirmish
would be a long one. Who will have ever known that a the force
congregated in the area would be of around 10 companies.
So we marched Northwest
towards Plaza Juarez. Once a rich mall located in the heart of
Ciudad Juarez. The plaza used to sell from the latest in fashions to
the groceries needed for a family. If anything the mall had a great
layout for defensive positions. The main causeway is surrounded from
all sides with deep shops. With this shops able to keep under cover
around 20 troops. The walls were high and heavy fortified, and
machine gun teams looked at the streets surrounding the complex. It
had become a sign of the Drug lords power to convert a once shopping
mall into one of the most fortificated spaces in all of Mexico.
Our scout team Lobos said
that the best place to attack the mall was a head-on attack with
artillery to take most of the Mercs by surprise.
"get the tank"
"where do you need it"
"shoot at the
The tank shot and we all
rushed into the plaza. The Machine gunners mowing our troops. The
tank gave us covering fire, still being mowed by the incoming fire.
We managed to get to the doors. Of the first wave of attackers we had
which were 100 only 20 made it to the doors. So there we were waiting
for reinforcements to arrive. The field post allowed 20 more guys,
this to be mowed down, for only for 5 to arrive.
"Ok, We have enough
So we rushed inside the
once old department store Cimaco. The first guy got to eat lead, then
the next one.
"Por nuestro pais"
(for our country) Some cried.
The Mercs were no good
against our more heavily structured forces. The fighting occurred
inside the Department store was cursed with blood and Hand to hand
fighting. They drew and improvised form of a bayoneted AK-47 While we
used the swords equipped with us. Sword against lance, little chance
against our well trained forces in the arts of swordsmanship. We were
able to cut through the main entrance therefore allowing another 40
to join the storming.
"Pass me the Radio" I
"yes sir" said the our
radio man, whom had been with us in the battle in the outskirts.
"We need for the tank to
shoot at the shop on the left of Cimaco, there is a a forward base in
that place."
"Ok sir, The 'aqui es'
"yes, Attack, Attack,
Can you hear we are under heavy firing?"
So the tank crew did, and
what we found was astonishing. If the artillery had done more damage
we would all have been blown to pieces, The tank made a hole in the
wall, revealing many troops, many troops, but they all surrender.
Why? The artillery had shot the armoury were all heavy artillery
rounds we kept. If any damage to the bombs might have been made, in
a radius of kilometres will all have been destroyed including all the
residential areas around. The Mercs and their commanding drug lords
surrender to our forces over two hundred of them surrender all giving
their weapons and all their belonging. The day had been victorious
for the Internationals, but as we establish this place as our base I
joined with the drug lord to have some peace talks. Our conversation
was this one
que regreses a todos los mercenarios a sus tierras" (I need
for all my Mercs to return to their homelands) The merc leader said
hecho, Nomas necesito que sus fuerzas tiren armas al suelo en
independencia, Bolívar, y cinco de Mayo" (consider it done,
the only thing I need is that your forces throw their weapons down in
the streets Independence, Bolivar, and five of May) I said
señor, ¿me
deja ir con mis tropas?" (al right, sir do you let me go
with mi troops) the drug lord asked.
hasta se pueden ir. pero usted Se debe quedar conmigo, esto para
asegurar de que vallan a sus casas y dejen la guerra"(yes,
all can go except you. You must stay with me, this to make sure all
go to their homes and get the war over with) I responded.
So we had establish
another supply line for both military aid for all allied forces, and
humanitarian aid to feed and nourish the war stricken people of
Juarez. Little did we know that this was the beginning of the end of
the war in Juarez

The Greeks lying in wait within Prop. 31 are the measure's provisions concerning "regional collaboration." What could be wrong with that? Nothing, except that "collaboration" implies consent, and Prop. 31 allows for nothing of the sort. Stanley Kurtz and Wayne Lusvardi have done yeoman's work in explaining how this little-noticed but all-important aspect of Prop. 31 would work in practice. If passed, the measure would institute "Strategic Area Plans" (SAPs) that supposedly allow local governments to work together across city and county lines. This of course can be done now, so what's the point? The fact is, the new committees set up to run the SAPs would not be elected. Their members would be appointed by the bureaucrats and legislators in Sacramento, which has been overwhelmingly Democratic for the last 25 years (except for a brief period in 1995, when the state assembly had a Republican speaker). Anyone who understands California government can see where this is going. California has never lost its progressive faith in "good government" and the ability of "nonpartisan" experts to solve any problem, real or imagined. The state government is infested with unelected, anti-democratic boards and commissions with near-total power over their designated subjects. The SAPs created under Prop. 31 would be boards and commissions on steroids, with the power to do virtually anything—but only with Sacramento's approval, which in practice means anything liberal. The SAPs' most important power would involve revenue sharing: they could force richer, better-managed municipalities into regional arrangements with poorer, badly managed cities, siphoning off the wealthier entities' tax money to pay for supposedly jointly beneficial projects. So, my upper-middle-class friends, do you see how all this imperils your standard of living? The reason you live in Piedmont, and not in nearby basket-case Oakland, is that you want decent services, including schools, and you're happy to pay for them. Your sky-high property taxes are, in effect, your tuition. (Anyone living in the San Francisco or Los Angeles Unified School Districts and able to afford private school is, for the purposes of this discussion, upper-class.) If Prop. 31 passes, you will either have to pay much more for the privilege—upsetting the careful affordability calculations that went into the purchase of that nice home of yours—or else accept dramatically degraded services, which might force you into a private school you hadn't factored into your budget. Remember, just because your schools are likely to get worse doesn't mean your taxes will go down; in fact, they'll probably go up. Of course, you can do what millions of middle-class Californians have been doing for the past two decades: move to another state. Prop. 31 is not merely a threat to California's still-thriving upper middle class. It's a dagger aimed at the heart of modern California. A few years ago, a national-security analyst divided the world between the "Functioning Core" and the "Non-Integrating Gap." Applying that same concept to California, we might come up with the "Functioning Coast" and the "Non-Thriving Core." Life is nice, if expensive, on the Functioning Coast. California needs that coast and its people to survive. They run and staff the high-profile, high-profit industries that keep the state moving. They generate the lion's share of the tax revenue that funds its bloated government and keeps the interior from total collapse. Make life on the coast more expensive, or less nice, and you topple the whole house of cards. That's what is at stake with Prop. 31. Californians may not be able to save the Golden State this November, but they can avoid making it substantially worse. I want to come home someday. It would be nice if there were a home to return to.

PHIL JAGIELKA has pledged his future to Everton by signing a new 4½-year at
the club.
The England defender, 30, was signed by David Moyes for £4million from
Sheffield United in 2007.
And he now looks set to end his playing career with the Toffees after agreeing
a new deal to stay at Goodison Park until 2017.
Everton chief executive Robert Elstone said: "We are delighted Phil has agreed
to commit his long-term future here at Goodison Park.
"Phil is a hugely important and influential player and I, like many
Evertonians, look forward to seeing him play in a blue shirt for many years
to come.
"Discussions have been taking place for a short while and, now they are
completed, I would like to thank Phil and his representatives for the
professionalism and courtesy shown throughout those negotiations."

USD/JPY: what to expect?
Authored by Kira Iukhtenko
USD/JPY attempted to strengthen in the Asian session, but was rejected by the 102.00 area and now consolidates around 101.90.
Technically, USD/JPY is now trading slightly above the lower border of the 2014 triangle (around 101.60). The pair remains range bound in the tight 102.40/101.40 area. Breakout in one or other way is needed to clear the direction.
We remain bullish as long as the pair holds above the 101.30 mark (April low).Next resistance lies at 102.40, 103.00 and 104.00.
Break below 101.30 would become a selling signal and open the way to the next support lying at 100.75.
Chart. H4 USD/JPY

(Editor's Note: This is a copy of a letter sent to High Bridge residents.)
On election Day, Nov. 6, you will be asked to approve the Length of Service Awards Program (LOSAP) for the volunteers of the High Bridge Emergency Squad and High Bridge Fire Department. LOSAP is the result of state legislation approved in 1998 that provides for a tax-deferred plan to help attract and retain volunteer emergency and fire members. To qualify, volunteers must respond to emergencies and/or fires, participate in training and drills, and participate in the administrative matters of the organization.
The program will provide $700 per qualified member per year beginning in 2002. The estimated cost of this program is $21,000 per year for the Borough of High Bridge.
On July 12, 2001, the mayor and council passed ordinance no. 11-2001 to place a question on the ballot to allow voters the opportunity to approve LOSAP in November.
During the Aug. 9, 2001, Council meeting a public hearing was held and residents attending the meeting were very supportive of the program.
On Oct. 29, 2001, a public information session will be held at the fire station on Maryland Avenue beginning at 7:30 p.m. Representatives from the emergency squad, fire department and council will be available to answer questions regarding LOSAP, membership and/or volunteer emergency and fire services in High Bridge.
