In an emotional three-minute speech Tuesday afternoon to an audience of more than 100, including Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno, Essex County Executive Joseph DiVincenzo Jr. apologized that the issue of his pension — which he's collecting while continuing to work as the county executive — has become a controversy, which he says is detracting from his work at the county.
"I put in 29 years, I deserve my pension," he told Patch Tuesday night.
"This weekend was some weekend," said DiVincenzo, in reference to a Star-Ledger story that revealed that the 58-year-old began collecting his $5,738 monthly pension last August, in addition to his $153,207 salary. DiVincenzo is one of a handful of politicians in the state eligible to collect a pension for a job he is still working at, because of a loophole in the pension rules.
"I love this county more than anything else and my name is the most important because that's my reputation … and it was taken to a new low," he said at a news conference, announcing a new boathouse restaurant for the South Mountain Recreation Complex in West Orange.
State law allows elected officials in the public employee and police pension systems to "retire" but keep working. According to the Star-Ledger, DiVincenzo "retired" just three months before winning an unprecedented third term as county executive.
DiVincenzo has come under fire since the Star-Ledger story Friday because he has argued for pension reform, a position he's taken and allied himself with controversial Republican Gov. Chris Christie. He's also pressured county union employees to accept salary cuts, health benefit cuts and changes to pensions. Some unions called for his resignation over the weekend after news of DiVincenzo collecting his pension and salary surfaced.
DiVincenzo said that any action the county takes, "the buck stops" with him. He said the choice was a family decision, but did not elaborate. He did not say he would stop collecting the pension.
"To Essex County residents and to all the employees here, I want to apologize for what happened this weekend," he said as he paused to collect his thoughts. "I'm sorry that I put us in this position, but … I had to make a family decision."
DiVincenzo said the county will move forward to "make sure we do good things in Essex County."
"The things we have done over the last eight years are memorable. I give my heart … my soul 24/7 to make this county what it is today. And nothing is going to take that away," he said to a roaring, roughly 25-second applause.
DiVincenzo said he spoke with Gov. Chris Christie and that the governor continues to be his friend, although Christie and other legislators have called for legislation to close the loophole.
"Some people don't like that (he's my friend) — Democrats or Republicans — the governor has been here for 16 months … he's taken on some very serious issues," he said.
DiVincenzo said his relationship with Christie will not get "weaker" because of this, but "stronger."
"When you have someone like me who stands up and is vocal … sometimes it hurts, but Gov. Chris Christie is a friend."

The couple is no longer able to cover all of their monthly expenses -- including the mortgage, car loans, home repair loans and student debt -- with their paychecks alone.
"I watch every month our savings deplete," said Karhinen, who lives in Queensbury, N.Y. "I'm realizing we're not young enough to save a lot."
The downturn in the housing market also hurts. The couple bought their house in 2006, hoping it would serve as an investment and help support their retirement. But now, they would only break even if they sold it, she says -- if they were lucky.
The mortgage crisis "hollowed out" the middle class, said Tamara Draut, vice president of policy and research at Demos, a public policy research organization. Much of their wealth is tied into home values, but national home prices are still 29 percent below their mid-2006 high, according to S&P Case-Shiller.
That means some folks have lost all their home equity and may never get it back. Others can't take out loans to finance repairs, college for the kids and other expenses.
There's one more big squeeze hitting households: health care. Since 2002, insurance premiums have increased 97 percent, rising three times as fast as wages, according to Kaiser Family Foundation/Health Research & Educational Trust.
In Mississippi, Bruister now has an $1,800 deductible, compared to $500 a few years ago. When she goes to the doctor, the bill typically tops $100 -- so she tries to avoid going.
"Health care for me has turned into more of a luxury item," said Bruister, 52. "I go every year for the checkups my insurance pays, but after that you just tough out the other illnesses."
Economists say they don't expect much improvement for the middle class any time soon. The recession is officially over, but the recovery is fragile, and its gains aren't evenly spread. Between 1993 and 2011, the top 1 percent of America's earners saw their income soar by 58 percent, while everyone else only got a 6 percent bump.
That's making it even harder for most households to get ahead.
"The middle class was always synonymous with economic security and stability," Draut said. "Now it's synonymous with economic anxiety."

Established in 1994 by the General Assembly, the Consumer Advocate represents the interests of Tennessee consumers of investor-owned electric, natural gas, telephone, water, and sewer companies. Generally, the Consumer Advocate seeks to enforce laws applicable to public utilities, to remove barriers to competition in public utilities markets, and to seek a healthy balance between regulation, competition and the public interest.
The Consumer Advocate participates in regulatory proceedings and monitors complaints filed against various utilities in the state. The majority of the formal advocacy involves proceedings before the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA.) The TRA is the agency responsible for regulating Tennessee's investor-owned utility companies. The Consumer Advocate reviews rate filings, applications, and other matters, participates in proceedings, offers expert testimony, and files legal motions and briefs as necessary.
Tennessean American Water Company (TAWC) customers will likely pay a smaller rate hike than the company originally proposed as the result of intervention by the Tennessee Attorney General's Consumer Advocate and Protection Division. The proposed agreement, subject to approval by the Tennessee Regulatory Authority (TRA) at its next meeting on Oct. 15, means classes of customers will pay 12.72 percent more for water instead of an increase of up to 35 percent if all of the company's proposed rate increases and adjustments were approved. The proposed settlement has been agreed to and been signed by representatives of the City of Chattanooga, the Chattanooga Regional Manufacturers Association, Walden's Ridge Utility District, and the Town of Signal Mountain. TAWC's requested rate hike is the utility's sixth requested increase in the past nine years and the highest proposed to date...read the TAWC release.

Detroit � John Lackey has been accustomed to pitching with little run support.
And Tuesday, the Red Sox didn�t deviate from that script.
Mike Napoli�s home run in the seventh inning was the only run Boston scored for Lackey, and the veteran right-hander, with the aid of three relievers, made it stand as the Red Sox stymied the Tigers, 1-0, at Comerica Park to take a 2-1 lead in the American League Championship Series.
Pitching on nine days rest Lackey allowed four hits, two after the first inning, and no walks in 62⁄3 innings. He struck out a playoff career-high eight.
�This is probably the biggest game I�ve pitched since I�ve been here,� he said. �(Justin) Verlander pitched great, too.�
Lackey has plenty of playoff experience. He�s thrown 90 innings during the postseason, including the first five in Game 7 of the 2002 World Series. He allowed four hits and one run and earned the victory as the Angels defeated the Giants, 4-1.
This is Lackey�s fourth season with the Red Sox after a successful career with the Angels.
Lackey�s record (10-13) this season belies his effectiveness. He was arguably Boston�s best starter other than Jon Lester.
�He�s a guy with playoff experience,� Boston manager John Farrell said. �On the biggest stage this game has to offer he�s performed. This is a veteran with postseason success.
�We�re glad that he�s not only come back from Tommy John surgery but pitched well.�
In 29 starts, Lackey had a 3.52 ERA. His 1891⁄3 innings was second to Lester, and Lackey�s 40 walks were by far the fewest of any of Boston�s top four starters. He struck out 161, second to Lester, and had a team-best strikeout-to-walk ratio (4.03).
In an anomaly, the Red Sox did hit for Lester in his other playoff appearance this season. Boston won Game 2 of the American League Division Series against Tampa Bay, 7-4. Lackey was less than stellar as he allowed four runs in 51⁄3 innings but got credit for the win.
Manager Jim Leyland said the Tigers had their chances but couldn�t get that one big hit.
�Lackey changed speeds all day long,� he said. �He was terrific really. It comes down to pitching.�

Does anyone know who is going to be VJ'ing at any of these shows? I hope that there is video because a Shpongle DJ set is bunk without it. The roundhouse was the bomb and so have been the DJ sets with video. I would hate to see some moving lights and led fixtures trying to be the centerpiece of the shows like sts9/phish; I think I can speak for all of us when I say we want it to be like most Shpongle shows where there is video and lighting and its all bad ass and seamless.
Since Shpongle is coming to the south-eastern US of A, here's a link to a vid showing what should be the minimum setup for something like a Shpongle DJ set-

Herman Chan wants you to free yourself in your videos. Stop having the delivery of a "dial tone" and show some personality, Chan told a crowd at a session sponsored by the California Association of REALTORS® Young Professionals Network on Tuesday during the CAR Expo in Anaheim, Calif.
Chan, an associate broker with Better Homes & Gardens Mason Mcduffie, mixes humor, wit, and a whole lot of personality in his video blogs, dubbed "Habitat for Hermanity," which pokes fun at the real estate industry.
Chan's unique twist on vlogging has garnered him a lot of attention since starting the webisodes earlier this year; he has 11,000 followers on Twitter and Facebook waiting to see what he'll sound-off about next. He's also appeared as a host on HGTV's "House Hunters" and "My House is Worth What?"
"I'm not pushing my listings," Chan said about his videos. "I'm just being myself on camera." Admittedly, he said the tone of the videos might be a turnoff to some, but he didn't want to just play it safe with his videos and be like everyone else. He wanted to be memorable and create a brand. After all, buyers and sellers can get information on real estate anywhere online, Chan said, so why should they pick you to represent them? How are you going to make yourself standout in the crowd?

What are the possible complications of eczema?
Comment on this

Mortality (death) from eczema is rare, but the morbidity (discomfort and disability) with eczema is significant in both adults and children and leads to work and school absences. Itching also increases the financial and psychological burden within a family. As with any condition characterized by itchy skin, scratching can lead to skin wounds and secondary bacterial infections with Streptococcus or Staphylococcus bacteria. These bacterial infections may require antibiotic treatment. Kaposi varicelliform eruption (eczema herpeticum) is a known complication of atopic dermatitis that develops in association with a primary herpes simplex virus infection. This condition is characterized by blisters that generally begin in areas of eczema and spread rapidly to other eczematous areas and normal skin. Treatment with the antiviral drug acyclovir (Zovirax) may bring relief. As mentioned earlier, people who develop atopic dermatitis often progress to develop other forms of allergic disease. Up to 30% of people with atopic dermatitis will develop asthma, and about 35% develop allergic rhinitis (nasal allergies).

Simply put, it was mere happenstance in the fall of 2007 that inspired my thirst to learn more about the wine industry: the owner of a store in Shelburne, VT demanded I try a Merlot from Engel Family Vineyards. The bottle cost more than I was prepared to spend, but the reward was priceless. A Merlot that was silky, full-bodied with resplendent dark fruit, a wine I wanted to gulp – I had to know who made it (the internet revealed nothing!). Thankfully the owner of the store knew: Robert Foley. I jumped at the chance to try his own label, Robert Foley Vineyards, and my first was his 2005 Merlot, which raised the bar into the wine stratosphere of brilliance. "Bob" Foley is an iconic winemaker whose roots run deeper than most vineyards in Napa. He's built numerous wineries including Markham, Pride and his own. He's dug several caves and can boast a career of nearly four decades making wines that have become cult-classics. I had the opportunity to visit with Bob at his winery up in Angwin, CA. I was honored and humbled to speak with the very winemaker who inspired me to educate myself and eventually others to the pleasures of truly fine wine.
Also – have to point out that Foley makes wine at the Red Hook Winery in Red Hook Brooklyn, which we'll feature in an upcoming episode.

I have recently returned from an amazing week in Costa Rica staying at the Bella Vista house with a group of friends! The home is a bit of a ride off the main road but well worth the trip! Your bound to see some amazing local wildlife each time you come and go from the house. The second you walk in the door at Bella Vista you know your going to have a great trip. The decor is beautiful but only second to the view of the Pacific Ocean that you can see from almost every room of the house. Once inside we met Carlos and Gina who live downstairs. They are the onsite staff who helped to make this trip so satisfying. These two can cook up a storm for sure and provided us with some incredible Costa Rican meals! They also spend the rest of the day maintaining the beauty of Bella Vista. The activities in Costa Rica are fantastic and range from in house massages to white water rafting and the best sports fishing in the world! I could go on and on but to really get a feel for this amazing house I would recommend you just book a trip and see for yourself!! I promise you wont be disappointed!!

I have just returned from 5 days at Bella Vista - and every moment was perfect.
The house itself was more beautiful than the pictures. The pool and the view from it are amazing. We spent most of our time out there relaxing, watching the ocean and the sunsets and enjoying the wildlife.
We slept 10 - 5 couples - quite comfortably - with lots of privacy and space. The food was delicious, prepared by the sweetest couple Carlos and Gina.
The local concierge arranged tours for us - ziplining and a national park tour - that included a comfortable transfer. He also gave us tips on the local beaches and tidepools. Bella Vista's surrounding area is itself worth a visit.
I highly recommend this property for its beauty, its staff and all the bells and whistles that make Bella Vista a stellar property.

Bella Vista was the perfect combination of luxury, relaxation and adventure. The home is beautiful, everyone had their own space and privacy if they wanted it. The pool and views were one of the best I've ever seen. The daily food preparation was delicious and a luxury to not have to worry about a thing and the location was convenient enough to venture out if we wanted to, but we rarely did because we had everything we needed right at the house. I wish I could do this every year. We plan to return. I highly recommend Bella Vista for a group or couples or a family.

The Bible Jesus Read Leader's Guide
Price: | $29.99 |
Buy From Zondervan
Choose a Retailer Below
The Old Testament is God's biography, the story of his passionate encounters with people and also a prequel to the story of Jesus. This Zondervan Groupware uses video and group discussion to explore the sometimes shocking and cryptic writings in an effort to know God better.
Award-winning author Philip Yancey serves as guide and interpretive leader of ten video study sessions. In a series of in-depth interviews and explanations he covers five crucial segments of the Old Testament:
1. Job: Seeing in the Dark
2. Deuteronomy: A Taste of Bittersweet
3. Psalms: Spirituality in Every Key
4. Ecclesiastes: The End of Wisdom
5. The Prophets: God Talks Back
Philip approaches each of these major segments from a different point of view--from the paradoxes of Ecclesiastes to the poetry of the Psalms--and adds additional interpretive material extending the reach of his best-selling book. He teams again with the Emmy Award-winning production team responsible for video production of the 'What's So Amazing About Grace?' Zondervan Groupware.
Many Christians tend to ignore the Old Testament or dismiss it as impenetrable and obscure. Philip Yancey's combination of scholarship and insight brings new light to old material and stimulates new discussion, thought, and further study.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
CAMP EGGERS, Afghanistan, July 9, 2011 The commander of the International Security Assistance Force said here today he agrees with Defense Secretary Leon E. Panetta that al-Qaida can be strategically defeated.
This was one of the last interviews Petraeus will give as the commander in Afghanistan. He turns over command to Marine Lt. Gen. John Allen soon.
Al-Qaida was the reason the United States came to Afghanistan after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The efforts of the past few years in Afghanistan and in Pakistan have weakened the group, the commander said. Couple that with efforts against the group in Iraq, Yemen, Somalia and North Africa and there is a real possibility the group will be dismantled, Petraeus said.
In Afghanistan and Pakistan there have been numerous attacks that have taken out high-ranking members of the group. In Afghanistan, coalition forces have killed a number of people who filled the role as leader of al-Qaida.
"That was the most hazardous job in the world for quite some time," Petraeus.
Eliminating the terror group totally is difficult because it is a "franchise," Petraeus said, and pressure on the group has to be placed wherever it operates.
"There may be elements of al-Qaida out there for some time, the 'brand' so to speak, but they will not be able to plan and execute strategic attacks," he said.
The transition plan in Afghanistan will begin next week. Seven areas – three provinces and four municipalities – will begin transferring to Afghan security control.
Petraeus said he is pleased with the trends in the fighting season.
"For what it's worth, [this] June saw less insurgent attacks than last June and May was about the same," Petraeus said. "You have the first two months in which the comparison with the last year is actually a reduction or about the same. July is trending the same."
The general does not know what affect the month of Ramadan – when Muslims traditionally fast during the day – will have on the fighting season.
Typically when you have more forces, levels of violence go up. Coalition forces are on the offensive, all the surge forces are in place and the Afghan security forces have grown exponentially, Petraeus said.

I do like the re-routing of Highway 1 from Oxnard Blvd to Rice Ave. Another proposal should be to re-route Highway 1 (PCH) along Harbor Blvd in Ventura which turns into Channel Islands Blvd in Oxnard to the Highway 1 connector. I think the coast route would make more sense in keeping with the tradition of a "coast route" and help with businesses in Oxnard and South Ventura.

A successful virtual desktop deployment requires input from each branch of the IT department: server, storage, desktop, applications, and networking. However, often times the networking team is not looped in on VDI initiatives until after implementation, which is unfortunate considering that the network operations team is often responsible for monitoring VDI performance and availability.

Florida authorities say a new law that quietly went into place Jan. 1 requiring Canadians and other non-U.S. residents to carry an International Driving Permit has been put on hold.
The law would have required Canadians driving in the Sunshine State to purchase a permit at the cost of $25 Cdn.
The Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles issued a statement on Thursday announcing the statute may be in violation of the Geneva Convention on Road Traffic, and therefore the Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) will defer enforcement of law.
'We looked into it legally and we're just going to hold on it and then try and get some language in there to clarify it.'—Kirsten Olsen-Doolan, Florida Department of Highway Safety
As before, non-resident drivers only need to carry a valid licence with their name on it, issued from their home country.
Kirsten Olsen-Doolan, a spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Highway Safety, told CBC Radio Montreal's Homerun that the law's original intent was to have documents available in English "so law enforcement can provide for public safety."
"We get people from all over the world and it's difficult for law enforcement here because unfortunately we don't speak as many languages as we'd like to," Doolan said, adding that her department "hadn't really thought about the Canadian angle."
'Talked to everyone in Canada'
Initially, news of the law triggered confusion among Canadian travellers planning to travel to Florida.
The Canadian Automobile Association (CAA) is in charge of administering IDPs. Terry Fox, manager of its legal advisory department, said offices had been inundated with applications, with over 900 submitted today.
Doolan also said her department had been flooded with calls.
"I feel like I've talked to everyone in Canada, which is a good thing," she said.
Doolan said the Florida government would now be working with stakeholders, like those in the tourism industry, on how to "modify" the law " so everybody's happy.
"We looked into it legally and we're just going to hold on it and then try and get some language in there to clarify it," she said. "It was a good intent but we just need to polish it up a little bit."
But despite Florida saying the law won't be enforced, CAA told CBC News it's recommending travellers purchase a permit.
The association said it was unclear whether Florida Highway Patrol was requiring all police departments not to enforce the law, or only those that were willing to comply.
Rental cars confusion
There were also mixed messages concerning how the law would affect those who wanted to rent cars.
When contacted, Budget Rent A Car said its official stance on the matter was that all Canadians will be expected to present an IDP along with their official driver's licence and credit card upon renting a vehicle.
But a staff member at Budget Rent A Car at Miami International Airport said they had heard of no such law and that a Canadian licence would suffice.

About 100 yds west of the Chunky Monkey-LaCholla Jackson zoo is a tall section of very good rock. Funkdemental is the furthest east of these. This is great fun route that reminded me a lot of "The Sinks". Start above a cave-like hollow and up the hillside to the right, in the same place as Poquito Mas. Watch out for cactus here especially when you pull your rope. Clip the 2nd and 3rd bolts with a long sling or you'll probably run into a lot of rope drag up higher. Then start the fun stuff. Traverse left around the top of the cave on HUGE huecos and up more of the same to a stance under a fair-sized bulge. The crux is a long reach over the bulge to a good edge. The rest of the route climbs the arete using holds on both sides to another stance and some more great pockets to the anchors.
10 bolts, a couple of long runners, anchors at top.
Kind of contrived, since you can easily get around the crux by climbing on the arete 3 feet to the right of the bulge. Cool position, though.
Excellent route. Overhanging jugs, deadpoint crux and pockets really mix things up.
One of the many good routes here. Have your belayer unclip your first draw after you move left around the corner. Don't reveal the secret hold in your beta!
AC, just because you went off route to skip doing the hard moves at the crux does not make this route contrived and a one star route. This is one of the best easy 5.11s at Shelf. If you are tall, you can bypass the use of the "secret" hold and reach the large jug by staying left of the arete at the bulge.
I like the varied nature of this route. It climbs better than it looks and progressively gets more difficult as you climb it.
" just because you went off route to skip doing the hard moves at the crux does not make this route contrived and a one star route." So 3 or 4 feet to the side of a bolt is off route? I thought that if you are following a bolt line, anything within reach is on route... if not, the route falls under the category of "contrived". I did this route this past weekend, and I have to agree with the AC on this one. At the "crux", I climbed the obvious easier ground just to the right of the bolt and traversed back left to the next bolt. I realized after doing this that I had probably gone "off-route", so I downclimbed and did the crux the "right" way. It seemed slightly contrived. In my opinion, a classic sport route combines good climbing with an inspiring line that doesn't avoid obvious natural features. Maybe other people don't include the last factor in their definition of "classic". There are tons of 2-3 star sport climbs at Shelf, but according to the rating system on this site, one star sounds about right: worth doing, but for myself, probably not worth the effort to repeat.
Secret hold? Shit, I didn't find any secret hold! I think I went the easy way and still thought it was 11a. Man, now I realize why I have trouble with those 5.9s. This discussion makes me realize how people see and climb routes so differently. Quite interesting. I think most of the nearby routes pretty much suck, but then they get 2-3 stars and then this one gets one from some folks simply because it offers the opportunity to go gardening (or is that too far right?).
If you went gardening, you were not on Funkdamental. This route starts in an overhang, swings out left, and goes straight up clean rock.
I like the climb, but 11b? What happened to the 10d grade that was in the Rock and Ice supplement guide from years back? I thought that was right on. What's with a lot of the grades that got "bumped" up a notch or two in the Cactus Guide. 10d, straight up the bolts. 2-3 stars. Well worth repeating. Rob
Very fun regardless of comments above - this is a great warm up.
Around 12/04/05, the nut holding the hanger on the upper of the two bolts at the bulge was loose. I managed to tighten it by hand, but take care with it. If you're in the area with a wrench, you could generate some good karma by going up and tightening it.
11a seemed about right for this excelent climb. Great exposure up wild holds and pockets. I didn't feel that it was contrived as long as you stayed on the arete proper. 4 stars.
On Sunday, 10-28-07, there was a mean little rattlesnake that had taken up residence below the big rock that you land on when you lower off this climb. Unfortunately, no one saw it until after it had bit a dog. (BTW, after an overnight stay at the vet, the dog is okay)
Fun route, but I don't recall it being contrived or particularly difficult. Maybe it was a height thing? Definitely worth doing if you are over here and an easy tick for the aspiring 11 leader.
I'm still trying to figure out what move was supposed to be 5.11.... I'm no superman, but what's the opposite of sandbag?
I agree with Germsauce. I found it to be easier than an 11, but I am also 6'4'". Awesome route, my favorite at Shelf for the moment.

Chromium in drinking water is carcinogenic

The Best Science Writing Online 2012

A controversial water contaminant made famous by Erin Brockovich and a small California desert town is carcinogenic.
That conclusion by federal scientists, culminating more than a decade of debate, is likely to trigger new, more stringent standards limiting the amount of hexavalent chromium allowable in water supplies.
It's been known for about 20 years that people can contract lung cancer when inhaling hexavalent chromium, also known as Chromium VI. But until now, toxicologists have been uncertain whether it causes cancer when swallowed.
National Toxicology Program scientists reported that their two-year animal study "clearly demonstrates" that the compound is carcinogenic in drinking water. Mice and rats contracted malignant tumors in their small intestines and mouths when they drank water containing several different doses of hexavalent chromium.
"I think it's resolved, as much as it can be resolved," said George Alexeeff, deputy director of scientific affairs at California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment.
Based largely on the new cancer findings, California and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency officials are reevaluating what concentration is safe in water supplies. Within a few weeks, California is expected to announce a proposal to set a new health guideline.
The Mojave Desert town of Hinkley, population of around 1,900, has the highest levels of hexavalent chromium reported in U.S. ground water. The compound seeped into water there from a Pacific Gas and Electric facility that used it to inhibit rust in cooling towers and discharged it into holding ponds in the 1950s and 1960s.
In 1996, PG&E paid a $333 million settlement to about 600 residents of Hinkley after Brockovich, a law clerk, investigated the contamination and found high rates of cancer and other diseases. The town's plight drew national attention in 2000 from a film based on Brockovich's legal crusade. The payment was the largest tort injury settlement in U.S. history.
The animal study does not prove that people in Hinkley contracted cancer from drinking the tainted water. But it does resolve the debate over whether the contaminant is capable of causing some types of cancer.
Roberto Gwiazda, an assistant researcher at University of California at Santa Cruz's Department of Environmental Toxicology, called the new study a "milestone," saying it "settles the issue."
However, Gwiazda said, using the new research "to support a drinking water standard is a different matter" because extrapolating it to humans remains controversial.
Hinkley's ground water contained concentrations as high as 580 parts per billion, more than 10 times California's current drinking water standard of 50 ppb for total chromium compounds. The national standard is 100 ppb.

My family stayed for 4 days and 3 nights. We have two young children ages 3 and 7, the hotel staff put us on the 1st floor, close to an exit to make it... easy for us and they were very friendly. The beds were comfortable with extra pillows already in the room when we arrived. The continental breakfast was outstanding and included biscuits and gravy, a dish with scrambled eggs, cheese sausage and potatoes, waffles, bagels, muffins, cereal, bread for toasting and a variety of beverages. We had breakfast there each morning. The location of the hotel was great, right off the main hwy in Kanab and very easy to find. The Moqui cave and Best Friends Animal Society are about 5 miles from the hotel and I HIGHLY recommend visiting both! The animal society has free tours of their beautiful grounds and if you have kids, they will LOVE IT! We ended up adopting a sweet kitty who fell in love with my son. There were a few very small cosmetic blemishes in our room if you are concerned with that but for us it wasn't an issue and it didn't effect the functionality of our room. Our room was cozy and we felt right at home. We will definitely be returning to this hotel. Two thumbs up all the way around!!! بواسطة Janell Mathews من Camp Verde, AZ بتاريخ 2013/12/03

B. Smith's Restaurant Row
Online Reservations
B. Smith's is a great place to indulge in comfort food prepared beautifully in a lovely setting. The service is excellent. The restaurant is welcoming and the food is wonderful! My children love the macaroni and cheese and the fried chicken and the apple cobbler is wonderful as well. We've never had a bad meal here. When we are in the Theater District, we always make plans to dine at B. Smith's.
The restaurant was recommended to us by a native New Yorker. Our expectations were exceeded. Our waiter John did an excellent job of highlighting the menu and although I didn't have it, I thought the Theater Dinner was a great value. I had the salmon and it was excellent. The highlight of the evening was having the owner, Ms Smith, herself come out and not only make dessert suggestions but ask about our experience. When in New York, I will definitely dine there again,
Great restaurant. We had the shrimp roll appetizer. I had the Swamp Thang and my wife had the fried chicken. Food was great. Service was good also. We were seated right away and the food was prepared in a timely manner. This is a great pre-Broadway show dinner restaurant. We will definitely be back.
We were recently visiting New York and decided to give BSmith's Restaurant in Manhatten a try. We made our reservation through Open Table. The service and food were outstanding. The oxtails with black eye peas were a hit for my brother and his wife. My husband and I enjoyed the Red Snapper and her famous bread pudding with ice cream. B Smith and her husband were in the restaurant and we stopped to tell them how much we enjoyed the experience. They were very warm and friendly. This was certainly one of the highlights of our trip.
It was a great experience. Food was excellent. Waiter was knowledgeable and very helpful. Fun time!
Brung my Girl here for her BDay, great conversation.....great food and Lovely atmosphere. Drinks were on point...food was delicious and our Waiter was very pleasant.....THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!
Very enjoyable NYC theatre district brunch: good food, great service and nice ambience.
Our group of ladies dined on a Saturday evening. The staff was very accomodating and kept an eye on getting us the check and the several course theatre dinner option out in time to make curtain. The food is really high quality and prepared to perfection with beautiful presentation. B. Smith came over to personally see if all was satisfactory. She and her husband were delightful to meet. This is a great New York restaurant right near the theatres!!! Try it if you haven't yet!
We absolutely enjoyed ourselves and the food. The music playing was a great addition and the food was so delicious. We highly recommend!
My husband and I went to B. Smith's Restaurant for a break from the usual. The food was wonderful the atmosphere was quiet and you could actually hold conversation. The wait staff was more the helpful even when we took a Picture with the owner and her husband!!!! I would definitely recommend to others...
I was in NYC to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The evening we went to dinner we had tickets to see Chicago. I couldn't have asked for a better way to start the evening. The restaurant was lovely, comfortable and inviting. Service was right on the money. And, the food melted in your mouth. I can't remember the last time my daughter had oxtails and I had bread pudding. But, I can tell you it was anywhere near as mouthwatering and truly devine as B's. Highly recommend you stop by for yourself. Thank you for the memories of truly exquisite dining.
We had a group of 13 post-show on Sunday night. It took us a half hour to walk from the Nederlander but the staff was very kind and gave us great attentive service. We have lots of food allergies in the group and all of our requests were handled beautifully.
Cozy, off broadway. Remote enough to be intimate, quaint, cozy but close enough to everything to be practical. In addition to ambiance, the food is worth trip.
Service staff totally accommodating. Loved them. Their recommendations also very good - I loved the catfish. Loved the cornmeal everything - hush puppies, muffins.
Caught in traffic we called B. Smith's to say we would be late, the hostess said "No problem, we'll hold your table". Although we were a half hour late for our reservation, we were greeted pleasantly and shown to our table. The waiter immediately asked if we were going to a show, which we were, and proceeded to expedite a delicious dinner. It was our first time at B.Smith's and I am sure that based on this experience we will definitely return.
We chose B. Smith for the early theater pre-fixed menu. Nice selection yet they were out of short ribs already at 5 pm. Sea bass and split pea soup was delicious. Good value
this was my first time dining at B. Smith's I've heard so much about this restuarant and I finally had a chance to take part in what everyone has been saying. We had an early lunch before going to a Matinee in NYC. I felt like we were the only ones in the restuarant. Everything came at the right time, our food was hot (how I like it), service was superb, and food was to die for.
B. Smith has an interesting southern menu well executed. Also good and speedy service (pre-theater). Best of all, my guest was starving so I asked for bread and we reveived a bowl of miniature cornbreads and miniature biscuits with SOFT butter. Fabulous!
Great food, service, ambiance....you name it....it was a wonderful dining experience....definitely return....meeting B was the next best thing after the food....hahaha
My party and I had a memorable dining experience. The service was friendly and attentive without being rushed. I had the blabk pea chowder and the fried catfish entree. They were both delicious. The members of my party also thoroughly enjoyed their dinners. The highlight of the evening was when B. Smith introduced herself to our table. We had an enjoyable conversation. She is a lovely woman. I recommend this restaurant without hesitation.
Had a nice time at B. Smith's for my 48th birthday dinner with my family. The service was good, food was good and the ambiance was very nice. B. Smith was also there this evening and graciously made herself available to us to chat for a bit. I would recommend this restaurant.
The cost of the items seems a little high, but the quality of the food is worth the cost.
Vary nice and friendly with good food, perfect before theater. Not a real "FOODIE" place....but good.
The ambiance, service and food were exceptional. This is a great place to sit and enjoy a delicious meal, cooked with love and care. The staff is terrific, and if you go at the right time you maybe luck enough to meet the "Queen B." A dining experience not to be missed.
B. and her husband were extremely welcoming. Awesome service enhanced very good food. Great dining experience.
This restaurant has very good food and an ambiance that is comfortable and (by New York standards) spacious and quiet. You can have a conversation and move your elbows.
Fried chicken was best i've had in a while. Service was great too. Thank you!
There was a very long wait between appetizers and entrees. The waiter did come to us a number of time and he offered us a glass of wine on the house because of the wait.
My girlfriend and I went to B. Smith's prior to a Broadway Show, the service and meal were excellent. An added bonus was meeting B. SmithI. Highly recommend.
Enjoyed my visit to B. Smith and to NY. Love NYC and all it has to offer!!!! That's saying a lot for a country girl.
Good food, nice service, convenient for theater. I expected menu to have some "soul food" choices and was disappointed.
Great good and quick and attentive service. Ambience was sub par, but for a quick meal before a show, you can't beat it.
second time dining at B Smiths within the past three months. Travelled to NYC from Indianapolis to visit family and both times selected B Smith's for dinner. The shrimp/scallop dish with collard greens was excellent. My husband had salmon with spinach which was also superb. My cousin had the baked catfish. We were all very pleased. The first time I dined at B Smiths in September was an equally pleasing experience. There were five of us then and we all thoroughly enoyed our meals. The atmosphere is upbeat. Appreciate dining in a quiet setting; there was no struggle to have a conversation. We saw Sistas before dining at B Smiths and appreciate the close proximity to the Broadway shows. Will dine here again!!
I had dined at B' Sith's years ago. I believe it was a different location. But I had fond memories of the food and ambience. So, when we were looking for a restuarant conveniently located to the theaters, I was thrilled to find B. Smith's on Opentable.com. The southern fried free-range chicken was moist with a wonderfully crispy crust. For dessert the bread pudding with bourbon sauce was rich and decadent. The restaurant is not terribly big. But it has a warm and cozy feeling to it that makes you feel right at home. The service was attentive, but not overbearing. We did not feel rushed in any way. Great choice!!
We went for brunch before a show and had a wonderful experience. Loved unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Marys for$15. Each meal was better than the next. Great service as well.
Weird day , rainy, cold and day before Turkey Day.... lots of cancellations ... waiter nice and friendly and food delightful... I've been there before and it was really crowded so this was a delicious surpise.
My family were in NYC for a Broadway show and needed a nice restaurant close to the theater due to a heavy rain fall.B. Smith made us glad it had rained.The service was great.The food was excellent and the music and atmosphere made for a relaxing and fantastic dinner prior to the show.This is a great place for before or after the show.We'll be back again I'm sure.
Truly a great holiday experience! The plentiful food and service were excellent. My wife enjoyed the break from the kitchen and my son and I were able to watch our NFL game just like at home. In the background, holiday classical tunes were played to get us in the festive mood for the season. We were given choices for the three course meal and asked to stay within a two hour timeframe due to the high demand for reservations. However, the service was so good that it was more than sufficient. In fact, we only had to make eye contact and the waitress was at our beacon call. On top of everything, the owner, B. Smith, appeared at our table to see if we .needed anything! We felt right at home and appreciate the touch of autographing her book.
I enjoyed my Thanksgiving dinner at B Smith's… It was my mother's favorite restaurant and since this was our first Thanksgiving without her we celebrated there. The food and service were wonderful and the wait staff were patient with our indecision. The limited Thanksgiving menu was not a problem as it addressed all food types. My 91 year old Aunt totally enjoyed the Turkey and cornbread stuffing and my husband and I enjoyed our meals as well. the last time I went to B. Smiths it was at a different location and B. Smith had just got married…. I found this to be a more intimate setting and quite enjoyable. Don't hesitate to visit this place for your special occasions!!!!!!
Whenever I need to meet friends for lunch of dinner in the the theater district or nearby events, I ALWAYS pick B. Smiths. The service and food have never failed me! Love this place!
Found this great restaurant for 5 people to enjoy Thanksgiving in the city! There were traditional options along with some non-traditional dishes.
We had eaten at the B. Smith's Restaurant in Washington, DC and missed dinning there. We were so happy on our visit to New York visit it once again. The food and service were excellent as usual and the location was perfect for our us being close to the theaters.
We thoroughly enjoyed our pre-theater brunch. Food was fantastic and service was wonderful! Thank you, B!!
This is our third (3rd) visit to B. Smith's restaurant and each visit was with different folks. The dining was very pleasurable and food very good. Great location, service, ambiance and food! Perk- relationship w/ theatres for discount!
I was at the restaurant Nov 30 2013 and had a great time with my siblings. The food was delicious. The staff was very professional and accommodating. Can't wait to come back!
We booked reservations at 5:45 pm on a Sat. We arrived at 5 and still got seated immediately. A Couple came in after us with no reservations but no other seating was available for the night. We sat at a table upstairs, in the corner--which didn't have too much to look at since I faced the wall, but we liked the restaurant overall. It was noisy but not overbearing. We ordered specialty drinks off the cocktail menu, and they were spectacular. We had the Fried Chicken, Shrimp and Grits and Flounder---all were very good. We all had dessert, but the Bread Pudding should not be missed! Overall a great dining experience, and should be on the short list when choosing restaurants. The 3 of us agreed that we would do it over again.
Food was great. We took advantage of the $15 unlimited cocktails. Disappointed they didn't have fried green tomatoes which are listed on the menu.
Great ambience and good service quench the rush to theatre while you enjoy a taste of the south in NYC. While we were pushed for time, the staff made it seem like forever. Well timed service and well prepared dishes. French country salad was a winner at the table as well as the Duck.
We were rushing to go to a Broadway play and we were late getting to dinner. Our waiters were so fantastic. They were able to get us our wonderful dinner on time and we were able to get to the theater on time. We really appreciated that and dinner was deliious.
Our party of 7 enjoyed dinner after seeing Motown just down the block. The service was very good and not rushed and everyone enjoyed the food, appetizers and desserts. B Smith herself even stopped at our table to say hello
