Westchester-trained Gymnast comes in 8th in Olympics
So what happened? The Bronx boy came in 8th overall as a packed house at the gym where he trained and worked 7 days a week cheered him on. He choked on the pommel horse, considered his best event, but did very well on the vault, parallel bars and high bar, according to his former coach, Jason Herbert at World Cup Gymnastics in Chappaqua. And only 19, Orozco is already a favorite for the next Oympics. ...

Social Services Clears Kennedy
Will this make the headlines too? We'll see if the 'RFK son hospital baby story' loses its bite in the tabloids: “We can now inform you that as a result of the assessment made by local child protective services, no credible evidence was found to believe that the child(ren) has been abused or maltreated. Therefore, the report has been determined ‘unfounded. ” This is how the letter from Westchester Dep...

It is a very sad state of affairs when, even at the local level, we allow the elected elite to dictate whom we should vote for. I hope people will take the time to learn about the two candidates and make their own decision based on their personal evaluation. Read carefully, Myers says she did a lot of work and preparation to pick her predecessor and that she didn't know Tom was interested. How would anyone know she was not running until she announced it? Tom Murphy is a fine candidate and I hope people will take the time to hear what he is all about.J Mill says:
Let's be clear - the truest thing he said was "spoiled brats". A bus full of evil kids from Scarsdale who were chucking stuff at the bus driver? I'm sure their parents were nowhere to be found. Rich, entitled kids showing a lack of respect for their elders and making fun of people in less-than-white collar jobs.Cabby says:
With Parker having the support of Otis, Myers, Latimer and Bramson, Tom's chances of winning a primary are slim to nothing.Cabby says:
And Petco was a Duane Reade for a very short period of time. What were they thinking when they opened across the street from CVS?WTF??? says:
closing Weaver Street Bridge before the school year ends ? how did local officials let THAT happen ? INSANE.

Agreed. Breast cancer (like all cancers) does not care what your economic or social circumstances are. And the fatality rates are inversely related to access to medical care (preventive care and treatment). And that access has both a geographic component and an economic component. And also an education component. None of that should be the case. But it is. Jolie is in fact brave, for bringing her experience public even though it will negatively impact her sex-goddess status, on which she relies for her profession. There are a lot of people on this planet working to increase access to cancer treatment. My own efforts, humble though they are, have mostly been via the Komen organization (which, despite "political" problems, still gives more to BC work than any group on earth). We just have to keep plugging away at it. There's really no choice. Everyone can contribute something. What Angelina Jolie has contributed is huge, even if she does nothing else (which I doubt). Respect, for that.
