A landmark Broadway liquor store will be demolished because of damage suffered in a Monday night fire in Bayonne.

The city is paying a firm $20,000 for help in the Hurricane Sandy cleanup. And former Hudson County politician Lou Manzo lost his appeal to get his legal fees back after being cleared of corruption charges.

In Sports, Bobby Hurley was hired as the University of Buffalo's new men's basketball coach. Meanwhile, Ed Stinson is the new Hoboken High School football coach.

No one can say with certainty when the first Lionel model train was set up to chug around a Christmas tree and surprise children on Christmas morning, but it’s a safe bet that the idea and the reaction it produced were both universal.

The Lionel Manufacturing Co. was founded in 1900 by 23-year-old Joshua Lionel Cohen, who started off making mine fuses for the U.S. Navy. But, as Phil Ament noted in “Fascinating Facts About Joshua Lionel Cowen,” (Cohen legally changed the spelling of his name to Cowen in 1910) he had always had a mechanical bent for less destructive things, having built his first toy train at age 7.

The story goes that Cowen sold his first electric train in 1901 to a store owner in Manhattan, whose idea was to use the train to call attention to other merchandise. The store owner returned the next day to order six more trains, because customers wanted to buy the store display instead of the other merchandise. By 1902, Lionel was primarily a toy train manufacturer.

A plant was built in Hillside in 1929 exclusively to manufacture toy trains; business grew so much that the factory was expanded in 1940, 1941, 1950 and again in 1952.

At its peak, the factory employed more than 2,000. Lionel Trains were produced independently from 1901 to 1969, when the rights to the product line were sold to General Mills following Lionel’s bankruptcy. Continuing financial difficulties led to the closing of the Hillside plant in 1974.

Various attempts to revitalize the company followed including efforts by businessman Richard Kughn in 1985 and musician Neil Young in 1995. In 2001, Lionel closed its last manufacturing plant in the United States, outsourcing production to Korea and China.

Did you ever receive a train set for Christmas? If so, did your parents position the tracks around the Christmas tree?

nicquan-scott.jpgNicquan Scott of Jersey City was acquitted of murder late yesterday.
A 22-year-old Jersey City man was acquitted yesterday of the execution-style murder of a father of four, officials said.

Nicquan Scott, aka "Beans,'' of Bergen Avenue, was convicted on weapons charges but had been accused along with his half-brother of the Dec. 12, 2008, killing of 41-year-old Henry Molesky of Jersey City.

Scott's half-brother, 26-year-old Darnell Reeves, is also charged in the killing and will be tried separately.

Prosecutors had said the killing was motivated by a dispute over money. Molesky, who lived on Woodlawn Avenue, was shot once to the back of the head near his parked car on Clinton Street near West Side Avenue.

During the trial, prosecutors showed the jury a three-hour videotaped interview in which Scott says he was at the scene of the murder and watched Reeves shoot the victim in the head.

The jury began deliberations yesterday morning and returned its verdict that afternoon.

Scott was convicted of unlawful possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, officials said

He faces up to 10 years in prison when he is sentenced on Jan. 21, officials said.

Check back with Hudson County Now for more information on the acquittal.

trenton homicide bryn mawr Police at the scene of a fatal shooting tonight on the first block of Bryn Mawr Avenue in Trenton. The killing is the city's eighth of 2013.

TRENTON – One man was shot dead on a West Ward street tonight in the city’s eighth homicide of the year, police said.

The man, whose identity was not released, was killed on the first block of Bryn Mawr Avenue shortly after 7:30 p.m., Lt. Steve Varn said at the scene. Detectives are out on the street investigating the crime.

A resident of the street, who would not give his name out of fear of retaliation, said he heard two gunshots from a large-caliber weapon.

The crime scene stretched nearly half the lane of the avenue, a dead-end street with an open area at its top that serves as a cut-through to the Eisenhower and Wilson-Haverstick housing projects beyond.

Detectives were seen clustered around a white Dodge sedan at the end of the street, its lights on and motor running, but no one inside. A fenced-in front yard on its passenger side was littered with bloody clothing and a hat, which a police officer bagged as evidence.

A full description of the suspect was not immediately available.The victim is believed to be 21 years old, police said.

Anyone with information should call police at (609) 989-4170, or the Confidential Tip Line at (609) 989-3663.

New York Mets release pitcher Duaner Sanchez

The Mets released reliever Duaner Sanchez on Tuesday morning.

PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- Duaner Sanchez knew he had to compete for a job this spring.
But he thought he would have the rest of the month to do it.

He shrugged off his struggles against the Baltimore Orioles Monday, saying he didn't feel the need to "come out and impress everybody from the beginning."

He didn't. And now his stint with the Mets is over.

The team released the struggling reliever this morning, ending a three-year run that began with promise but ended in a blur of injuries and ineffectiveness.

General manager Omar Minaya broke the news to Sanchez when he arrived at the Mets' clubhouse this morning.

"I asked the question, 'Where is he compared to last year?'" Minaya said. "And we didn't see that much of an improvement. We do have some young guys that are coming on, at least that we feel good about in camp right now. And in fairness to him, and in fairness to us, we just felt, 'Look, if he's not going to be on the team, let's make a decision on this now.'"

The move will allow the Mets to get a closer look at some other relievers who are competing for Sanchez's spot in the bullpen.

Minaya declined to name the ones that have impressed him, saying he wants to keep it an open competition. But Bobby Parnell and Brian Stokes, both right-handers, are among those who have impressed the team.

Making the decision now also saves the Mets about $1.4 million. By releasing Sanchez before March 18, they owe only one sixth of his $1,687,500 salary for this year. Minaya said releasing him after March 18 would have cost the team an additional $200,000, and the team would owe him his full salary if he made the Opening Day roster.

But this was a decision, first and foremost, based on performance. Sanchez was never the same pitcher after he was injured in a taxicab accident in 2006. He missed all of 2007, was less effective in 2008 and struggled to get his velocity above the mid-'80s this spring.

Minaya said the Mets saw some progress, but not enough to justify keeping Sanchez around any longer.

Sanchez, a right-hander, had a 3.60 ERA in five innings this spring.

"I think he's recovering, and to his credit, he really was trying hard," Minaya said. "There were some upticks, or some positive signs there. But at the end of the day, you have to make a call."

Judge postpones sentencing of former bank teller who robbed Sussex bank

FRANKFORD -- A judge postponed the sentencing today of a Passaic County woman who was arrested just minutes after robbing a bank last spring, saying a three-year prison term may not be severe enough.

Amanda Galdo, 23, who had told Superior Court Judge N. Peter Conforti, sitting in Newton, the day after her arrest that she wanted to get help for her heroin addiction, pleaded guilty in May to robbing the Lakeland Bank on Route 206 in Frankford on April 14.

The Lakeland Bank on Route 206 in Frankford. Former bank teller Amanda Galdo, who pleaded guilty to robbing the bank, had her sentencing delayed today.

Galdo, of Wayne, pleaded guilty to second-degree robbery, a crime punishable by up to 5 to 10 years in state prison and a $100,000 fine.

As part of a plea-bargain agreement, Sussex County Assistant Prosecutor Gregory Mueller agreed to recommend Galdo, a former bank teller, be sentenced to just three years in prison.

But Conforti, while acknowledging the large numbers of letters that he has received on Galdo's behalf, expressed reservations about the plea deal when Galdo was scheduled to be sentenced today.

While the judge initially said, "I don't have a problem with the sentence," he later questioned the "adequacy of a three-year term."

"The court has to be especially mindful of deterrence," said Conforti, noting the "idiosyncratic circumstances" of the case.

Galdo was arrested after her car was stopped on Route 206 near Ross' Corner in Lafayette, about seven miles south of the bank, just moments after she allegedly handed a bank teller note demanding cash.

During a search of Galdo's car, state troopers found a black-and-red vinyl bag containing $14,400 from the bank, according to the arrest affidavit.

A search of her purse uncovered four glassine bags containing heroin residue and an additional glassine bag was found in her sweatshirt pocket, the affidavit states.

Conforti rescheduled Galdo's sentencing for July 23. About a dozen of her family members and friends attended today's hearing.

NJ is 3rd-least tax friendly state in country, report says

Buying a house in New Jersey also comes with paying the highest property taxes in the country. (Frances Micklow/The Star-Ledger)

It's not at all surprising to anyone who lives and works here, but another report has called out New Jersey for its high taxes.

The Garden State is the third-least tax friendly state in the nation, according to a report compiled by Kiplinger.

Only Connecticut and California are worse when it comes to reaching into our wallets. New York was fourth, the report said.

Although New Jersey's state and local tax burden is the second-highest in the country, its gas tax of 15 cents per gallon is the second-lowest and pushed the Garden State down to third in the overall rankings. Only drivers in Alaska pay a less expensive tax when fueling up. The national average is 31 cents per gallon, Kiplinger reported.

Kiplinger also noted that seven of the 10 counties in the United States with the highest median property tax bill are in New Jersey. The median property tax is $6,759;

The average property tax bill statewide was $7,988 in 2013 — a 1.7 percent bump from the year before

Funding education: What's the fairest way?

A blackboard is shown in this file photo. (Jerry McCrea/The Star Ledger)

By Robert A. Kull

New Jersey’s public schools, second in the nation in overall performance and improvement on the 2013 National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), attract many families and businesses to our state. And New Jersey spends more than almost every other state on education, producing some of the highest test scores in the country.

Yet great disparities exist, with New Jersey having many of the highest and lowest performing schools in the nation.

A heated topic in New Jersey — the debate over school funding — raises questions of how and where our tax dollars are spent, and brings issues of race, poverty and inequality to the surface. With a state broken up into 625 small districts, each focused on its own needs and goals, our schools are highly segregated along lines of race and income.

This piece is part of a series on how to improve New Jersey quality of life, presented by Together North Jersey in partnership with The Star-Ledger and

Together North Jersey, a regional planning initiative, will be talking with readers throughout the summer on a range of quality of life issues affecting the state.

Your thoughts will help guide a regional plan that can shape public policy in New Jersey for years to come. Learn more about the project here.

But everywhere one thing is consistent: parents fear that our children will not have the access to the opportunities that they deserve. Different places around the country and around the world have taken a variety of approaches to funding education. Some rely on local funding through property taxes, while others have created large school districts that include diverse communities.

Below we briefly describe three different scenarios for funding education, based on real-life models. Take a look, and then vote for the one that you think would be the most fair for all residents of New Jersey, providing children with the most equal access to opportunity. Tomorrow, we'll take a look at how you voted — and share our thoughts on how to improve New Jersey's system:

Profile #1: In this scenario, school districts are primarily organized by municipality. Each district is funded mainly by local property taxes, which has led to some of the highest taxes in the nation. Local districts must all comply with state-wide curriculum but they retain control over school programming, especially extracurricular and arts/technology programs. Because local tax revenues vary widely across districts – often to the disadvantage of less wealthy towns – there are also large disparities in resources between districts. The State government must provide supplemental funding to some school districts, though it generally fails to close the gap between resources available to rich and poor students.

Profile #2: In this scenario, the state has combined all of the school districts into county-wide districts, cutting down on administrative costs by consolidating numerous bureaucracies. That means that within each county, students from poor neighborhoods and wealthier areas get the same quality of education. However, consolidation is criticized for robbing residents of local control of education policy and tax dollars and for creating large and unwieldy bureaucracies.

Profile #3: In this scenario, there is a completely centralized system where the entire education system is run by the federal government including developing curriculum and providing funding. No matter where families live within the country, their children have access to the same educational resources. However, Regional Education Boards and District Education boards have some say in matters of appointing teachers and staff and the day-to-day administration of schools.

Buono: Christie's 'sure as hell not good enough for New Jersey'

Ryan Hutchins/The Star-Ledger By Ryan Hutchins/The Star-Ledger The Star-Ledger

UNION TOWNSHIP — In her last campaign stop of the day, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Barbara Buono launched a fiery assault on Gov. Chris Christie at a rally with Democrats.

Buono, a state senator from Middlesex County, pointed again to a new book about Mitt Romney’s failed presidential bid, and it’s assertion that the former Massachusetts governor could not pick Christie as his running mate in part because his background was "littered with potential land mines.”

“They vetted him for vice president and they went through it very, very carefully, they asked him a lot of questions, they didn’t like all the answers they were getting --they weren’t as forthcoming as other candidates,” she said. “And they disqualified him to run for higher office. So, if he’s not good enough for Romney, he’s sure as hell not good enough for New Jersey.”

The audience in the basement of a VFW hall, packed with Union County’s top Democrats, cheered and hollered.

“It’s a no brainer,” Buono said to them, clasping a microphone and standing between American flag balloons. “It’s a no brainer.”

Buono lags far behind Christie in three major polls ahead of Tuesday’s general election.

The rally tonight, organized by the Regular Democratic Club of Union, closed out her final day on the campaign trail. She got support from local mayors, including Elizabeth Mayor Chris Bollwage. Assemblyman Joe Cryan, Assemblywoman Annette Quijano and state Sen. Raymond Lesniak joined the fray. So did several county freeholders and long-time Sheriff Ralph Froehlich.

Froehlich said the governor hasn’t kept promises, saying he recalls Christie telling a room filled with police and firefighters “I will never touch your pension.”

“Shame on him,” he said. “Shame on him.”

There were chants of “Column A, all the way,” a reference to the Democratic column on election ballots.

And Buono continued to swing at Christie, using the new book, “Double Down: Game Change 2012,” as ammunition. She said the book revealed Christie has “very fancy taste, he likes private jets, he likes fancy hotels, in fact he’s very demanding.” The governor, Buono said, didn't like it when she called him a “prima donna” recently.

“I got another nickname for him, he’s governor thin skin,” she said. “When people call him out for his behavior and his record, all of a sudden we’re the bad guy. We’re the ones that are yelling. We’re the ones that are being nasty. Well you know governor, you got to own your record. You are who you are. Maybe you ought to take it down a few notches.”

Buono accuses Gov. Chris Christie of defamation for tying her to Spicuzzo

“He was the sweetest guy you ever met, very friendly and would always say hi and stop and talk to you.

“I remember he always had a bounce to his step.

“Quite the character.

“He was very popular and well-known by all, especially the school kids even from years before.

“His real name is Randy Garrison.

“A local resident started a group called, Bridgeton Memory Lane and one of the main topics was ‘Pepsi Pete.’

“We all wondered what happened to him.

“We all shared fond memories of him and someone found out he was in a nursing home.

“A suggestion was made that we put together a... Christmas for him, as he did not have any family, and no one ever visited him.

“With calls to the nursing home, we put together a date and time and some of us still local to the area met there to give Randy a Christmas.

“We all bought him presents after finding out what he needed. He loves hats and watches.

“Some of us took pics, mainly Dr. Sam Feinstein, and I took videos.

“We all had a blast.

“When leaving, I gave him a hug and told him, Merry Christmas.

“He replied, ‘Merry Christmas. I love you.’

“Randy is the sweetest, most gentle person I have ever known.

“Thanks to all that came out today, and special thanks to Randy for bringing much joy and special memories back to us.’’

— Gailyn

We have to ask you this: Did you buy him a case of Pepsi?

“I have strong feelings labeling all mentally ill persons or reporting them unless there are specific criteria that they are a danger to themselves or others.

“A fact that struck me, and if you Google this you will find the mother of the shooter was a survivalist, and she exhibited strange behavior, i.e. not allowing certain people in her home, taking her son to the shooting range when she knew he had ‘a form of autism.’

“Autistic kids usually are not violent, unless they are frustrated.

“Therefore, it is unknown if this young man had other contributing factors.

“During the month prior to the shooting, which occurred one week prior to Dec. 21, who some believed would have been the end of the earth, there were dozens of shows on television about this issue, about setting up caves, etc., feeding into the frenzy especially if the persons or person were able to be influenced emotionally.

“I am a firm believer that we have multiple problems, and one is the high number of suicides committed by guns by our veterans because we are not caring for them appropriately.

“This was my specialty when I worked as a RN Certified Risk Manager in the VA.

“Hope you enjoy this and Merry Christmas.

“I enjoy your columns. and please keep track of mine.

“Thanks for all your work.’’

West Windsor Arts Center exhibits works by faculty and students

Twilight.jpg"Twilight Glow," an oil painting by instructor Joe Gyurcsak, is part of the West Windsor Arts Center's first anniversary exhibition.

The West Windsor Art Center came into being back in 2003 when a group of volunteers began putting together art programs at various sites in West Windsor.

In May of that year, the West Windsor Township Council accepted a resolution to establish a new arts center in the historic Princeton Junction Firehouse and, after extensive renovations, the doors opened Sept. 25, 2010.

Now art exhibits take place in the historic building that during World War II was a First Aid and Civil Defense Station. Live performances, classes and workshops, open mike nights and teen programs, film and poetry events, all happen these days and nights in what was once home to Bingo, Boy Scouts and baseball.

Now, celebrating the culmination of the center’s first year of art classes, an exhibition of works by four of its teachers and many of the students is on display in the state-of-the art auditorium.

The styles of the exhibiting teachers are quite different from one another, showing a sampling of the wide range of classes offered.

Zakia Ahmed has been teaching for more than 25 years. She holds a masters degree in fine arts from the Institute of Fine Arts in Dhaka Bangladesh and has works on exhibit in the Bangladesh National Museum, Bangladesh Shilpkata Academy, and in collections world wide.

Her oil paintings are dramatic and embrace a full palette of colors. Her style is free. Color swirls and splashes on the canvas, figures are loosely indicated, but in “Ferry,” everything holds together in a brilliant rendering of people approaching on a curved bridge to empty bateaus awaiting their arrival.

Her students exhibiting with her show a wide variety of styles ranging from Karri Hamm’s representational “Exploring the Chesapeake Bay” to Susan’s Fox’s “Running River” and “Red Blooms.” Much like Ahmed, Fox sets aside realistic imaging and uses bright colors and energetic brush strokes to paint her response to what she sees.

Hamm, on the other hand, puts the viewer in the scene coming up behind a man in shorts and a striped shirt carrying a child on his shoulders as they walk a winding path beside the bay.

Another of Ahmed’s students, Wlodek Mandecki, exhibits yet another approach. In his acrylic painting “City Skyline” skyscrapers devoid of detail carve their way into a thickly applied blue sky in the far distance while, in the foreground, a few low structures seem to hold back a mass of rectangles and blocks representing a city crowded with buildings.

Joe Gyurcsak, who also teaches painting at the center, has been painting since he was 12 years old. He is now resident artist and brand manager for Utrecht Art Supplies.

He’s exhibiting two paintings of houses. “Twilight Glow” shows a period blue house whose windows are ablaze with the orange radiance of a setting sun. In “Little Pink House” he offers a view of a narrow pink house tucked back behind a patch of green grass and squeezed in between its larger neighbors.

In exhibition materials, Gyurcsak says he wants his subject matter “to be played out instead of posed” and adds that he wants to catch a fleeting moment of something that happens sometimes. The kind of thing you see out of the corner of your eye.

David Langley, who teaches photography, however, focuses his attention on subjects that represent timelessness, that have been there seemingly forever. A professional photographer for many years, Langley worked with ad agencies and, according to his exhibition statement, found his niche in executing and amplifying ideas in a controlled environment.

In this exhibit we see his “Parked Greenhouse” in which he presents a rusted blue truck surrounded by and filled with weeds, wildflowers and leaves that seem to fill the cab. Or are the leaves reflections on the windshield? An intriguing enigma. He is also exhibiting “Boat Gravesite” capturing the skeletal frame of a wooden boat succumbing in a field of grasses and daisies.

Judy Buckley who teaches at Princeton High School also leads a watercolor class at WWAC. Her painting “The Bay” is a peaceful painting of puffy clouds floating above serene water and coastal flatlands. Her student, Susan Connolly responds to that mood in her “Journey” in which a road passes between green fields and a treeline to a lavender and yellow sky.

Lisa Dunlevy uses the watercolor medium in a small and precise painting, “After the Brush Cleaning” in which bare-branched trees and a pair of evergreens rest by the shore of blue water. What makes her work outstanding is the care she took to not only present a painting in her chosen precise style, but also her professional presentation of the work in black and white matting and framing.

“It’s hard to believe, but Sept. 25 will be the one-year anniversary of the West Windsor Arts Center,” says Ilene Dube, president of the board of directors. “The faculty-student exhibit is our chance to show off where we are today in terms of classes and what we offer.”

“We’re offering a summer camp for the last two weeks of the summer,” she continues. “This is a time when many other camps are over, yet working families are still seeking a creative space where children can spend their days.

“Our first season was extraordinary for a new arts center,” Dube says, pointing out that coming up next is, among other happenings, “Global Rhythms,” a juried art exhibit open to all artists, which will celebrate the multi-cultural world in which we live.

Now, as “The Season of the Arts Begins” at WWAC, there is a wide spectrum of events, learning opportunities, and exhibits planned. Check out the website, or stop by.

APAN January Newsletter

APAN Header

Greetings APAN Members,

Each month we highlight an important topic in the field of afterschool/out-of-school time and this month we are focusing on the importance of summer learning. Summer is a critical time in a young person’s learning trajectory. It is an opportunity for young people to explore their passions, apply the skills and knowledge they learned during the school year, and build lasting relationships with peers and adults… not to mention keeping them safe, healthy and engaged to prevent summer learning loss. However, many of these opportunities come at a high price that many families cannot afford, significantly increasing the achievement gap. It is this barrier to access that has led many communities to provide high quality affordable summer programs for their young people. Go to NLC’s APAN LinkedIn Page to find helpful resources on summer learning and to share with other city leaders how you are addressing summer learning within your community.

President Clinton Announces National Out-of-School Time Initiative from Alliance for a Healthier Generation

  • provide meaningful, safe, and engaging summer experiences for over 19,600 of the District’s children and youth ages 5 to 24;
  • achieve positive outcomes for children and youth as measured by five citywide goals;
  • collect accurate, comprehensive youth and program data that will enable more strategic resource allocation in the future.

Please read more about OCSI 2013's programming, participation data and outcomes in the One City Summer Initiative 2013 Full Report as well as a detailed report describing the DC Children Youth Investment Trust process to create the initiative and the robust partnerships.

Getting to Work on Summer Learning: Recommended Practices for Success

Research shows that during the summer, low-income suffer disproportionate learning loss and this loss accumulates over time. This report offers guidance to school district leaders interested in launching or improving summer learning programs. The recommendations – start planning in January and stick to a firm enrollment deadline, among others – are based on evaluations of summer programs in six urban districts selected for a multi-year demonstration project funded by The Wallace Foundation.

The band are very happy that they are now headlining T In The Park due to the rock legend's ill health...

The Darkness were "jumping for joy" when they that rock legend David Bowie had been forced to pull out of this weekend's T IN THE PARK festival.

The band have revealed that they were desperate to headline the Scottish event, which takes place at Balado, near Kinross (July 10-11), and are promising fans a very special performance.

Guitarist Dan Hawkins said: "My ambitious side was a bit disappointed when we heard we were second fiddle to David Bowie.

He added: "But when I heard he had pulled out I was jumping for joy. I'm sure T In The Park organisers were glad we were there. Not many could step up to do it."

Bassist Frankie Poullain told The Daily Record: "Thank God we never pulled out or Starsailor would be headlining."

As previously reported on NME.COM, David Bowie was forced to cancel his headlining performance due to take place tomorrow night (July 10) due what appeared to be a pinched nerve.

However, the singer was then diagnosed with an acutely blocked artery which required emergency surgery.

A statement read: "British pop legend David Bowie underwent heart surgery in Germany last month prompting him to cancel his European tour. David Bowie sought medical treatment after performing at a festival in the north-western German town of Scheesel (June 25) reportedly for a pinched nerve in his shoulder. It was discovered that the 57-year old rocker had an acutely blocked artery requiring emergency surgery (the procedure is known as an angioplasty). "

David Bowie left the clinic earlier this week. He is now with his family, and will start working again next month.

Poullain said: "Originally we were going to stand shoulder to shoulder to David Bowie, but then something happened. I think because of the glam rock thing people think he's one of our influences."

He added: "I don't think he is, although we respect him musically. But we won't be doing any David Bowie tunes as a tribute."

The band, who will also be headlining at this year's Carling Weekend: Reading and Leeds festivals have also promised fans a treat for their forthcoming appearances. Hawkins said: "We are going to blow the place apart because we have set up this whole summer to do these festivals bigger and better than anyone has done before... We have some awesome surprises in store."

NME.COM will be backstage at T In The Park all weekend, making us first with the exclusive news, pictures and gossip.

Drivers say cell phones and driving don't mix, but they do it anyway

Robert Travis Scott, The Times-Picayune By Robert Travis Scott, The Times-Picayune The Times-Picayune
Follow on Twitter
on April 05, 2010 at 7:30 AM, updated April 05, 2010 at 9:30 AM

The Louisiana public strongly believes that hand-held cell phone use while driving is dangerous and should be outlawed, and yet lots of drivers in the state do it all the time.

Those are among the conclusions in three new studies released recently by the Louisiana Highway Safety Commission.

"It's the usual phenomenon: I can handle it but the other guy can't," said Buster McKenzie, head of Applied Technology Research Corp., which conducted two of the studies.

Using a survey technique similar to the way seat-belt use is measured, Applied Technology posted observers at 157 locations around the state to spend an hour counting the instances in which drivers were using hand-held communications devices.

They observed 40,363 drivers, of which 3,379, or 9.2 percent, were talking on a hand-held phone held to their ears. An additional 3 percent were "engaged in the manipulation" of some other kind of electronic device not held to the ear.

Commercial drivers were excluded from the study, which was conducted in November and December 2009.

A similar federal study in 2008 showed that 7 percent of drivers nationally were engaged in cell phone talk or electronic device manipulation.

Applied Technology also conducted a phone survey of 800 drivers statewide Nov. 12-15, 2009. The opinions represented the state driver population within a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

Forty percent of drivers said they had used a hand-held cell phone the last time they drove and 32 percent said they use a cell phone while driving some or most of the time. Eighty-two percent think the practice is somewhat or very dangerous.

When the survey respondents were asked their opinion of the main causes of traffic crashes in Louisiana, the No. 1 reason cited was drivers using cell phones and the No. 2 reason cited was drivers being inattentive or distracted. Those reasons were cited more often than drunken driving, speeding and bad road conditions.

A third study, which was a compilation of the Applied Technology surveys and additional research, was conducted by Helmut Schneider, director of the Highway Safety Research Group at Louisiana State University. He concluded that better crash data is needed to understand the extent of the driver distraction problem.

The data indicate that cell phone use related to car crashes is underreported, probably because drivers do not admit it or police are not investigating the possibility, Schneider said.

"Headset cell phone use is not substantially safer than hand-held use because the primary risk is associated with tasks that require your eyes to be off the road such as dialing and answering calls," Schneider's report says. "In contrast, 'true hands-free' phone use, such as voice activated systems, or built in systems in cars are less risky if they are designed well enough so the driver does not have to take his/her eyes off the road often or for long periods of time."

« Brooklyn Speaks Rally Updates | Main | When ‘Public Good’ Is a Relative Term - A Letter to the Editor of The New York Times »

April 15, 2007

"No demolition for parking" rally--a platform for issues and ironies

Atlantic Yards Report

Norman Oder previews today's "Rally Against Demolition for Parking". First, he looks at how different groups have approached concerns about Atlantic Yards. Develop Don't Destroy has engaged in lawsuits that, if successful, would halt the project, while Brooklyn Speaks, the rally's sponsor, believes it's better to try and change the project through ongoing dialogue with politicians.

And BrooklynSpeaks, mindful of the difficulty in talking with government entities while suing them, has avoided joining the lawsuit DDDB, the Council of Brooklyn Neighborhoods (which includes some BrooklynSpeaks members) and allies have filed to invalidate the project's environmental review.

The rally will include a range of AY opponents:

Still, the rally suggests something of a big tent. The venue, Lafayette Avenue Presbyterian Church, is provided thanks to the Rev. David Dyson, a member of the DDDB Advisory Board who has forcefully criticized Atlantic Yards, as in this April 2005 Brooklyn Rail interview.

Among the elected officials scheduled to speak are State Senator Velmanette Montgomery and City Council Member Letitia James, who have expressed much broader opposition to the project. (Others scheduled are Assemblyman Hakeem Jefferies, State Senator Eric Adams, and Council Member David Yassky.) One of the musicians playing will be Pheeroan akLaff, another DDDB Advisory Board member.

Next, Oder goes into detail (a.k.a. "Mad Overkiller mode") to tell the tale of how Prospect Heights could lose the Ward Bakery to demolition only to acquire seven acres of parking lots. Jasper Goldman's (of the Municipal Art Society) quote states the issue simply and broadly:

"The developer calls the lots 'temporary,' because they ultimately plan to build the second phase of the project on top of them. But 'temporary' could become permanent. Even members of the developer’s own team believe that the second phase of the project won’t be built for 15 to 20 years — if it’s built at all."

AYR covers the different justifications for plopping all that parking on Prospect Heights, and sums up what this rally means:

So today's rally, expressing opposition to demolition of the bakery for parking and construction staging is, in essence, an argument for a major redesign and reduction of the project, if not an argument against the arena itself.

NLG: Whatever the justifications given for destroying historic buildings for parking lots that might never go away, community concerns have been routinely ignored by Bruce Ratner & company. All concerned New Yorkers should attend today's rally, whether your opposition to AY is mild or wild.

The Invisible Drivers in Your Life

The other woman is out to get you. Everything she does is motivated by an intense, burning desire to see you fail, to make you suffer. Her life revolves around making you miserable — and miserable you are, despite yourself.

Although… something about this feeling seems familiar.

You can’t quite put your finger on it….

You take a look around your life and feel small and powerless. Too many demands. Too many people needing your time and attention. Not enough people really looking out for YOU and what you might need. You feel burdened, lonely and somehow… doomed.

Something about that empty, aching feeling in your heart feels familiar.

But you can’t quite put your finger on it.

You’re doing your best to create a connection with your children or stepchildren; with your partner. You meet hurtful or flip responses with warmth and soft eyes. You still go the extra mile with the little things, telling yourself you’re practicing devotion, loyalty, forgiveness.

Lying awake in bed at night when everyone else is asleep, you notice that something about feeling unloved and out of place seems familiar.

But you can’t quite put your finger on it.

Here’s what’s actually happening.

Deep in the back of your mind, beneath your conscious attention, you have messages that you’re repeating to yourself throughout your day.

I’m never really safe; I can’t totally relax or disaster awaits me.

My needs are unimportant because I don’t really matter.

I have to give more than I get because I don’t deserve any better.

But really, what your minds says to you in the form of subconscious beliefs is even worse than that.

And a lot shorter.

And more extreme.

So extreme that, if anyone were to ever stand in front of us and say this stuff to our face, we’d be sorely tempted to deck them!

Nobody really loves me.

Something is seriously wrong with me.

If people really knew who I was, they’d run.

I will always end up being hurt.

Nothing ever goes right.

I suck.

I ruin everything.

These beliefs are formed in the very beginning of our lives because — as the logic goes — our parents and primary caregivers are bound to fail us.

They have to. That’s because the perfect human being — one who can anticipate our every waking need, satisfy our quirky preferences and our personality-driven compulsions and interests — has not yet been invented.

So we will be disappointed. We will feel misunderstood, unseen, rejected.

And occasionally, absolutely gutted.

Even though we’re supposedly a few steps above common animals, humans still have an almost overwhelmingly strong desire to belong to the pack.

Try to do it all alone: hunt, kill, eat, rest, repeat — and you’re likely to not be doing it for very long. There’s safety and survival in numbers.

Which is why it’s better to make ourselves wrong first. We need the pack more than we consciously need ourselves in the very beginning.

And thus, the little gremlins of our subconscious mind are born.

They’re a way for us to contextualize our lives, to explain to ourselves why things go as they do.

They’re a way to create predictability and theoretically, to reduce future upsets and crushing blows. They’re a means of preparing ourselves, by learning from the unwanted experiences of the past.

Only problem is, the ancient wiring system for our Default Disaster Playbook is seriously flawed — at least when it comes to creating healthy, emotional lives as adults.

We start LIVING by those extreme, distorted mantras as if they are always true — as if that is “just the way life is…”

And then we make our lives FIT the mantra to prove ourselves right.

Which is why it’s sometimes vaguely satisfying when things go wrong, even if we’re also deeply distressed and would swear on our favorite pets’ grave that we wish it weren’t so!

So what mantras, what secret driving forces, what subconscious beliefs could be running your life?

What themes or patterns seem to be playing themselves out, despite your best efforts to create otherwise?

The good news is, there are effective ways to address and transform those beliefs now that really do work.

You can be worthy, safe, lovable, valued.

You can trust others.

You can create a life of meaning and purpose.

But the first step is to listen closely.

And to tell the truth about what you find.

A little tip for you: if you’re reluctant to (even privately) spell out those outdated, subconscious beliefs in all their extreme glory—you’re still confusing yourself with the belief, as if it’s true!

The first step is to call it as you see it.

Then you can create a plan of action that deals with what is.

What have you discovered about what’s driving your life?

    Love it, Dina. Fun stuff, ay? It reminds me of cleaning out a clogged tub…. 😉

  3. Dina McCausley says:

    Oh yeah…a blast 😉
    Funny…I’m dealing with ‘cleaing out’ a lot of this kind of stuff lately. Bondage to false thoughts about oneself are some of the hardest bonds to break. Especially if they’ve been perpetuated by people you trust. It’s good though! Once they are dealt with, there is such freedom in terms of a deadening of those hurts/haunts. It’s wonderful!

  4. Dina McCausley says:

    can you fix that “cleaning” please? 🙂

  5. Yep, you’re absolutely right, that expansive feeling that comes afterward. Maybe we’re a little late for our spring cleaning?! I never knew it was possible to clear this muck out before, but it totally is… 🙂

  6. Elisette says:

    Thankfully, that invisible under current of negativity, despair, confusion all left with the ex husband. Apparently it’s quite toxic to live with someone who isn’t straightforward! Thank goodness that is gone!!

Sole board member working to rebuild Indianola Port Commission

UPDATE: Indianola could have a new District 2 port commissioner on Sept. 4.

A special meeting of the Port Commission is scheduled for Aug. 29, 7 p.m., in the Indianola Clubhouse for the purpose of interviewing applicants for appointment to the District 2 commission post.

The interviews will be conducted by Port Commissioner Jeff Henderson and Kitsap County Commissioner Rob Gelder. As of Friday, there are two applicants; Henderson said a third candidate is possible.

The interviews are the only agenda item. The meeting is open to the public.

Henderson said Gelder will take a resolution to the County Commission on Sept. 4, followed by a vote appointing a port commissioner.

The port commission’s Sept. 3 meeting is canceled, Henderson said.

INDIANOLA — Jeff Henderson returned from his job selling fire safety equipment in the Midwest to find another big job awaiting him at home:

Getting the Indianola Port District’s government functioning again.

Henderson received word in his Green Bay, Mich., hotel room Wednesday night that Joan Wald had resigned from the Indianola Port Commission, leaving Henderson as the board’s sole member.

It was the second resignation from the commission since July and, with only one commissioner, port business is at a standstill. RCW 53.12.246 states, “… no business shall be transacted unless there are in office at least a majority of the full number of commissioners fixed by law.” A representative of the state Attorney General’s office interpreted the law to mean a sole commissioner cannot transact business — such as signing a contract — that requires a vote of the commission.

Topping Henderson’s agenda Friday was calling County Commissioner Rob Gelder. Henderson said the port district received several applications for the District 2 position vacated in July by Judith Frank. The application deadline is Aug. 28. Henderson hopes the County Commission will quickly appoint a District 2 commissioner. Then, the new majority of two can begin accepting applications for, and appoint, a District 3 commissioner.

The appointed commissioners “will serve for a very limited period of time, because we have two positions up for election [on Nov. 5], but we have some pressing issues in front of us — the suspension of the dock, an assessment of the condition of the pilings, engineering criteria to strengthen the existing structure — and we need to make a decision on what do with that data,” Henderson said.

The port commission voted June 27 to close the dock to the public in response to an engineer’s concerns about the ability of the dock to accommodate large crowds, spurring protests from some residents. The closure, initially proposed for a month, continues until an engineering firm determines the best way to improve the 100-year-old iconic dock and so it is more stable.

Frank resigned July 29, and Wald four weeks later, citing harassment from people opposed to the dock’s closure. Frank and Wald’s positions are on the Nov. 5 general election ballot; they had chosen not to run. The candidates are Eric Cookson, Matthew Smith (write-in), District 2; and Patrick Hatchel and John Lane, District 3.

Once a functioning commission is in place, Henderson hopes to begin the process of healing the rift in the port district.

“The harassment is — I can’t think of the right adjective,” Henderson said Friday. “It’s disturbing and sickening that it came to that point. I am absolutely committed to moving forward to make some decisions based on specific information we have and try to get the community on the same page as to what we’re going to do and move forward.”

He said he’s “encouraged” that 15 residents stepped forward earlier this month to serve on an advisory committee to help the port commission. The committee is tasked with hosting fundraisers, writing grants, and helping the port prepare the dock for inspection.

The advisory committee “can do some wonderful things for us,” Henderson said. “I hope people stay engaged in the port. It’s a very healthy way to do some healing. It’s impossible to please everyone, but it’s not our job to please everyone. It’s our job to manage the Indianola dock and adjacent stairway and do it in a prudent manner to make it safe and viable. It’s not only the Indianola community that the dock belongs to, it belongs to the public. That’s the nature of a port district — it’s public.”

— Commissioners: Jeff Henderson, District 1; Districts 2 and 3 are vacant.
— Auditor: Jessica Olanie, a contract employee who is assistant business manager of the Port of Kingston.
— Secretary: Paige Savage, a contract employee who is also employed by the Port of Kingston.
— Maintenance: Richard Stice, a contract employee who is also employed by the Port of Poulsbo.

Parkland Industrial Site in Superior could soon be home to new manufacturing plant

By KBJR News 1

January 24, 2014 Updated Jan 24, 2014 at 11:23 AM CDT

Superior, WI (NNCNOW.com)-- The first hurdle has been cleared in an effort to attract a new eight hundred million dollar direct reduced iron plant to the Parkland Industrial Site just outside of Superior.

Magnetation once looked at the site to build a new pellet plant, but chose Indiana instead.

Now new potential awaits, and the proposed plant would bring a major boost to Superior's economy.

Superior and Douglas County have teamed up to secure the Parkland Industrial Site for International Metallics Corporation, a company based out of Reston Virginia that specializes in iron briquettes. The proposed eight hundred million dollar project would bring in much needed jobs to the area.

"We estimate that it would create about one hundred jobs, good paying jobs," said Douglas Finn, chair of the Douglas County Board.

and during the building phase

"a lot of construction jobs, several hundred construction jobs, " said Finn

International Metallics Corporation has shown interest to the site based on it's proximity to suppliers of iron ore pellets, natural gas supply and the logistics infrastructure in the area. Dave Minor, President of the Superior Chamber of Commerce says the facility would have a ripple effect on jobs.

"Every single job thats created by them creates anywhere from two to four more jobs in our community as a spin-off, " said Dave Minor, President of the Superior Area Chamber of Commerce.

Minor says the company wanting to set up shop in Superior is significant to the manufacturing industry in the city.

"It's vital. Its very important to our community to have this type of investment coming from the outside wanting to do this, and that really happens because they see companies in our community that are already here investing in our community and that's what helps sell it," said Minor.

The next phase of the project includes a market study and pre feasibility study.

The project is not guaranteed, but if all goes as planned the facility would likely begin operations in 20-17

Vikings' Felton Has Emergency Appendectomy

By KBJR News 1

Vikings' Felton Has Emergency Appendectomy

August 14, 2013 Updated Aug 14, 2013 at 9:07 PM CDT

Minneapolis, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Minnesota Vikings fullback Jerome Felton underwent an emergency appendectomy on Wednesday and will likely miss the remainder of the preseason, that according to a report by Dan Wiederer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

Wiederer's report says the operation was a success and that Felton's expected recovery timetable is two weeks, but it's likely the team will keep him off the field until the regular season opener on Sept. 8.

Felton was the primary blocker in the 2012 season for running back Adrian Peterson, helping him to 2,097 yards and the 2012 NFL Most Valuable Player award.

ALP isoenzyme test

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a substance found in all body tissues. There are many different forms of ALP. Each type is different and is called an isoenzyme. Its structure depends on where in the body it is produced, such as the liver and bones.

The ALP isoenzyme test is a lab test that measures the amounts of different types of ALP in the blood.

See also: Alkaline phosphatase test

Alternative Names

Alkaline phosphatase isoenzyme test

How the Test is Performed

A blood sample is needed. For information on how this is done, see: Venipuncture.

How to Prepare for the Test

You should not eat or drink anything for 10 to 12 hours before the test, unless your doctor tells you to do so.

Your health care provider may tell you to stop taking certain drugs before the test. Never stop taking any medicine without first talking to your doctor. The following drugs may affect the level of alkaline phosphatase in the blood:

  • Allopurinol
  • Antibiotics
  • Anti-inflammatory medicines
  • Birth control pills
  • Certain diabetes medicines
  • Chlorpromazine
  • Cortisone
  • Male hormones
  • Methyldopa
  • Narcotic pain medicines
  • Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, used for arthritis and pain)
  • Propranolol
  • Tranquilizers
  • Tricyclic antidepressants

How the Test Will Feel

When the needle is inserted to draw blood, some people feel moderate pain, while others feel only a prick or stinging sensation. Afterward, there may be some throbbing.

Why the Test is Performed

When the alkaline phosphatase (ALP) test result is high, the doctor may order the ALP isoenzyme test. This test will help determine what part of the body is causing higher ALP levels.

This test may be used to diagnose:

  • Bone disease
  • Cause of pain in the abdomen
  • Liver, gallbladder, or bile duct disease
  • Parathyroid gland disease
  • Vitamin D deficiency

It may also be done to check liver function and to see how medicines you take may affect your liver.

Normal Results

The normal value is 20 to 140 IU/L (international units per liter).

Adults have lower levels of ALP than children. Bones that are still growing produce higher levels of ALP. During some growth spurts, levels can be as high as 500 IU/L. For this reason, the test is usually not done in children, and abnormal results refer to adults.

The isoenzyme test results can reveal whether the increase is in "bone" ALP or "liver" ALP.

Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

The examples above show the common measurements for results for these tests. Some laboratories use different measurements or may test different specimens.

What Abnormal Results Mean

Higher-than-normal ALP levels:

Lower-than-normal levels of ALP:

Levels that are only slightly higher than normal may not be a problem unless there are other signs of a disease or medical problem.

Veins and arteries vary in size from one patient to another and from one side of the body to the other. Obtaining a blood sample from some people may be more difficult than from others.

Other risks may include:

  • Excessive bleeding
  • Fainting or feeling light-headed
  • Hematoma (blood accumulating under the skin)
  • Infection (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

BLAST FROM THE PAST - Fire loss at Davis home nearly $500

Norwalk Reflector Staff • Oct 29, 2015 at 12:04 PM

Dec. 31, 1934

The top stories in the Norwalk Reflector-Herald don this date 73 years ago:

Fire loss at Davis home nearly $500

Damage of nearly $500 was caused last night by a fire that broke out in the apartment of Mr. and Mrs. T.A. Barnett on the second floor of the house on Norwalk Ave. owned by Col. And Mrs. A.W. Davis.

At 3 p.m. Mr. and Mrs. Barrett left their home. The fire was discovered at 10:45 . An electric iron, the switch of which evidently had not been turned off, became overheated and burned its way through the ironing board and the floor. It came to rest on a steel ceiling of the room below. The fire then worked its sway to the side of the house and burned the outside of the building to a considerable extent.

Kill tow foxes in

big round-up

During the fox hunt Saturday that started on the farm of Walter Hoyt, south of the city, two foxes were killed. Robert Fish of Norwalk shot one and William Horning of Bronson shot the other. Both foxes were bagged on the farm of Ralph Godfrey.  The $5 realized from the sale of the foxes was turned over to the Salvation Army.

Shirley and Garbo, Moose attractions

None less than Greta Garbo in the Painted Veil and Anne Shirley in the brand new “Anne of Green Gables” will be the attractions at the big midnight show at the Moose Theatre tonight at 11:45. Scores who saw the Garbo picture Sunday declare it to be the finest the Swedish girl has yet produced.

A feature of the Moose performance will be a concert program on the magnificent pipe organ with which the house is equpt, with miss Clara Leonhardt at the console.

Record crowds jammed the Moose Sunday and a capacity house is expected there tonight to say howdy to 1935.

Cantata well rendered by musical club

Before a large and much impressed audience, about 40 Norwalk Musical club members sand Dudley Buck’s cantata, “The Coming of the King,” yesterday afternoon at the Methodist church. Morris Scott, chorus leader of the club, conducted in his highly effective way and sang a number of solos with fine effect. Mrs. Alice Watson was at the organ.

The program follows:

Prophecy, soprano solo — Mrs. Thomas Kerner.

Advent, the Chorus — Soprano and alto — Mrs. W.K. Wildeman and Miss Frieda Behrens.

The Annunciation, alto solo — Mrs. G.E. Scott; tenor solo, Mr. Frank Bursley.

The Caravan of the Magi, male chorus; Melchior, Mr. F.M. Peck; Gaspar, Mr. Wilbur Terry.

Offertory — Organ and piano — Mrs. Alice Watson, Mrs. H.N. Bedell.

Opening of Forum Theatre is auspicious

A classy event was the formal opening of the handsome new Forum Theatre Saturday and Sunday. It was thronged with patrons from the opening of the doors for the matinee thru till closing time — with a repetition Sunday. The foyer was banked high with floral offerings from well-wishing friends, and the uniformed doorman and girl ushers were a nifty innovation.

While the interior is luxurious in its carpeting and seats, yet it was the lighting effects that caught the public fancy. Manager Clary was kept busy receiving congratulations as he greeted hundreds of his old friends in the foyer.

Norwalk supports local contractors

Norwalk Reflector Staff • Oct 29, 2015 at 12:14 PM

The issue of local workers getting some of the business for projects at Norwalk Commons came up at city council's work session Tuesday. Norwalk Mayor Sue Lesch is hoping the city and unions can work together.

"Maybe you and I need to sit down and talk," she told Harry Brady, representative for Ohio and Vicinity Regional Council of Carpenters. "I would love to see some of our local contractors get some of this."

Street resurfacing was also a topic, but the city may not have enough money to complete all planned improvements. Sidewalk installation and improvements were also discussed at the meeting.

"It is much needed, but it will take a few years," Lesch said.

In other business, council gave initial approval for a resolution for sidewalk improvements in the city.

Flat beauty. The VivoBook U38DT is a 13-inch subnotebook that is powered by a Trinity processor and the brand new Radeon HD 8550M from AMD. The ultra-thin construction and the noble metal ensure a very nice look. Are the 800 Euros worth it?

Notebook Addict of the Week: Iris

This week’s addict blogs at Life and House, where she shared these photos and comments about her notebook addiction:

Everyone has their guilty pleasures, right? Usually it’s in food (mine’s licorice), but I have a secret addiction to notebooks too. Being a student and having a stationary store right across the road, I often have the temptation to add some to my collection, although I can keep it in control quite easily (a student budget makes you :P ).

Above are most of my (nice-looking) notebooks. I have them in various sizes and colors, from different countries. These are the ones I have here in my student house, while there must be stacks more at my parents’ place.

The classic black leather notebooks from Moleskine are my favorites. I prefer the soft-shell ones, although the top one has a hard cover. That one is the Wellness edition in the Passion series, which I use for tracking my sporting activities, diet and weight loss. I love the printed cover! Other Moleskines I have are either normal lined notebooks (for medical notes) or agendas (though I’ve changed to digital calendars now). I love the type of paper, the leather covers and the little expandable pocket in the back….

US105 Unity Sand Frame
This unity sand picture frame is designed to be used in place of a unity sand vase during the wedding ceremony, with bride and groom both filling it with sand. The frame is resin and measures 11" wide, 9" tall and 1.625" deep. The lid slides outward so you can fill it with sand and replace the photo. Filling the frame like in the first two photos (a little under halfway) takes 24 ounces of sand. The outer frame portion is painted brown. The inside back is engraved with various terms of endearment and a leafy design on the sides. The glass is painted with the words "Together Forever," leafy designs at the bottom corners and a border in the middle. This frame is designed to fit one 4" x 6" photo.

Transform your kitchen rolls into pieces of art with this beautiful AWARD WINNING, Art Nouveau inspired, solid, cast iron kitchen roll holder.

If you are looking to bring beauty to your everyday tasks, then this stylish paper towel dispenser is a great place to start. The sinuous curves of the topper add a playful and elegant touch.

The design features two leaf retainers to prevent your roll from unravelling in kitchen draughts. The first hangs down from the topper piece and doubles as a single handed leaf tearing aid, while the second is a ridge cast into the base.

This product won the Award for Best Kitchenware Innovation at the Housewares Innovation Awards 2013.

Perfect for any style of kitchen with availability in cream, black or pink. Why not mix and match with other BexSimon kitchenware products. They are designed to be different from each other but perfectly compliment each other.
