Police, National Guard Patrols Stepped Up In NYC Area Amid Heightened Terror Threat

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — New York State Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Friday announced that National Guard troops and additional police officers would be at mass transit points and other sites in the New York City area – amid an increased threat of terrorist activity.

As CBS 2 Political Reporter Marcia Kramer reported, Cuomo’s decision to launch his own war on ISIS adds another layer of anti-terror measures to a metropolitan area that has been constantly on guard since Sept. 11, 2001.

“I think it’s safe to say, Marcia, that the state of the metro area will never have been as well-protected as it will be with this plan in operation,” Cuomo told Kramer.

Cuomo has directed the heads of the New York State Division of Military and Naval Affairs, the New York State Police, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey to increase security at sites including LaGuardia Airport, John F. Kennedy International Airport, Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal, and Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road stations.

As WCBS 880’s Rich Lamb reported, the “across the board” security crackdown comes amid heightened tensions with ISIS, or ISIL, in the Middle East.

Cuomo emphasized that New York City remains a prime target.

“While we have not received any credible threats, New York City is an international symbol of tolerance and resilience, and therefore continues to be a top target for terrorists,” Cuomo said in a news release. “With that in mind and in light increasing terrorist activity overseas, we are increasing security measures across the board at mass transit sites in the region. New Yorkers should rest assured knowing that public safety is our highest priority, and we will do whatever we need to do in order to keep our communities safe.”

A full security plan will be announced next week, along with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. But Cuomo said more National Guardsmen will be deployed as a precautionary measure.

SMI - 9/20/14

For those who don't know what the SMI is .... stands for Saturday Morning Inspection, goes back to my days at The Citadel, The Military College of South Carolina. Inspection every Saturday morning. Generally spent Friday night, in some cases, all night, getting ready. Bleach on the wood floors, everything dusted, cleaned and polished. Then on Saturday, The Inspection, often followed by a review, or parade, on the grounds, visiting dignitaries, a big occasion for th e school. That is an SMI.

Alice Tuttle always comes to mind on a Saturday morning, not sure why. I guess we often visited her on a Saturday, and she was always cleaning her apartment, so I associate this morning with Alice. She was a dealer at Harold's Club, had an apartment in Bob's building, Bob being a "slot man" who made a fortune .... "playing" ..... slot machines. Never found his secret. The last I heard of him, he was the "cash in" man on a Keno Fix .... walked up to the window with his winning $25,000.00 ticket and was arrested. That is the last I know of that.

For me, "Saturday Morning" is a different frame of mind. It's an ..... "aaawww" day, the week is over, time to relax and just say .... awwwwww. In retirement, each day is one, but still, Saturday is different. Goes back to my childhood, I am sure .... schools out .... freedom ..... nothing to do, just chill. I guess we didn't "chill" back then, not sure what term we used, maybe none, Saturday Morning was good enough.

For two years, aboard the old USS Mitchell, TAP114, all days were the same, especially at sea. I think we knew the day when we got our daily newspaper, or the POD, the Plan of the Day. I think Sunday was the only distinguishable day of the week.

Now, for the news of the day. There were quite a few shootings during the week, I think one in NJ or somewhere, four or so bodies in the street. I wonder if there is an agency somewhere that keeps track of the daily killings. The DKAO. The Daily Killing Accounting Office. "Ugh, Mr. Wilson, Senator Mason here, just what is your job there at the DKAO, as Director?"

"Well our purpose at DKAO is to keep a daily accounting of killings, well, let me rephrase that, shootings rather than killings, we keep a count on both incidents. Of course some shootings eventually become killings, so it gets rather complicated at times distinguishing the two. Our Agency has a staff of 300, and I assure you, we are busy all the time. Shootings are becoming quite a problem, and we work hand in hand with the Department of Defense, the IRS and Congress, to try to keep the population figures as accurate as possible. Naturally, it changes day to day."

"Ah, thank you Wilson, that will be all."

Police seek fedora-wearing casino robber

HENDERSON, Nev. — Henderson police say they're looking for a fedora-wearing man who robbed the My Casino early Monday morning.
According to police, the man entered the casino at 920 S. Boulder Hwy. around 12:35 a.m. Monday. The man, wearing a black Fedora, approached a cashier cage and demanded money.
When the employee hesitated, the man waved a handgun in the face of another employee, according to police.
Police said the man made threats, however no one was injured in the incident.
He was given an undisclosed amount of cash before leaving the casino, police said.
The man is between 35 and 40 years old, about 5'9" tall and weighs around 225 pounds, police say. He was last seen wearing a black Fedora hat, dark sunglasses, dark-colored shorts, and a white Polo shirt.

Nevada police have $11.8M in surplus military gear

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Law enforcement agencies in Nevada have accumulated $11.8 million worth of military gear from the Pentagon through a surplus program under increasing scrutiny since the police response to protests over the killing of an unarmed Missouri teenager. 
Defense Department records show over the past 17 years Nevada officers have received about 300 semi-automatic rifles, a half dozen mine-resistant and armored vehicles, three helicopters and a pair of grenade launchers.
Tod Story, head of the American Civil Liberties Union in Nevada , says the militarization of local police sends the wrong signal to communities where officers are supposed to protect residents, "not assault them."
Washoe County sheriff's spokesman Bob Harmon says the Huey helicopter worth nearly $1 million they obtained in 1997 has helped save many lives during rescue and firefighting missions.

So true, so true ................

Eventually you will reach a point 
when you stop lying about your age 
and start bragging about it. 
This is so true. 
I love to hear them say 
 "you don't look that old."

I can certainly relate to this.
I thank my dear friend Ernie for sending me this.
I have given much thought to this.
I am not sure at what age I made the transition.
I know that when the question of my age comes up,
I proudly state my age.
"I'll be 82 this month"

"OH, you don't look that old!"

The trick here is to leave this statement alone ... they might think you look older.
Just thank them and walk away, standing tall ... 
don't let them know how much the arthritis hurts.

Ernie is my last surviving "memory" of the early 50's. We were in the Navy together. I treasure his friendship. Of those I know, he is the only one who can say .... "I remember you in uniform" And, he started much of my life off .... he drove me to my first wedding .... in Yuma. We had some good times in the "old" days at the Rosarita Beach Resort and other places there.

Thursday Morning 9/18

Coffee down and working it's magic. Who invented coffee? It had to be an accident of some sort. But, an age old question, did they just boil the beans .... before the coffee grinder was invented.

Gore and Ugh were sitting around the fire in their cave, for amusement they would get reeds from the pond, dry them, and then pick berries from the bush, put them in the reed, and shoot beans at targets on the wall. Ugh got pretty accurate. She would shoot a berry at the North wall of the cave, ricochet it off the West wall of the cave, right in to the gourd of hot water over the fire. Later, they learned to drink the beverage, and then they could stay up all night, shooting ...... berries.

That brings a question to mind. When, and in what, was the first water boiled? For the sake of this article, they boiled water in gourds ... the gourd would get hot and the water would keep it from burning, just leave it at that.

Knock on cave door. "Hi, are you the lady of the cave, and your name is Ugh, well, Ugh I am Burl Burlstrom, and I'm with the Keurig Company and I want to show you our machine that makes coffee ..... from these PODS one cup at a time ... where can I plug this unit in?"

Interesting, just came across this .... According to a survey by the National Coffee Association, nearly 1 in 5 adults drank single-cup-brewed coffee yesterday, making it the second most popular way to brew after the traditional drip methods—and far more popular than espresso machines. Is this little machine "hurting" all the Tim Horton's and other coffee houses around the country. I do see PODS all over stores now. saw a thing yesterday a counter top "table" sort of thing, put your coffee machine on it, and underneath was a drawer for the pods.

One in Five ...... they got popular fast ..........




RBION - 9/18


46 years later, owner to get stolen Jaguar back

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Forty-six years ago Ivan Schneider, successful Manhattan lawyer, bought himself the Jaguar convertible that would feature in a most unusual tale of unrequited love.

It was the first (and "prettiest") of many luxury cars he would own, his companion on fast drives — and the only one that was ever stolen.

Forty-six years later, a U.S. Customs and Border Patrol analyst running a routine export check through a stolen car database came up with a hit. The 1967 Jaguar XKE was hot.

The problem: It was already on a cargo ship, in a container, headed for Europe, two days out of the Port of Long Beach on the Pacific Ocean.

Investigators with the California Highway Patrol and nonprofit National Insurance Crime Bureau got to work. New York police still had the March 1968 incident report.

CHP investigator Michael Maleta spoke with Schneider in Florida, where he now lives. Schneider thought it was a prank. "After we convinced him, he was excited," said Maleta.

After all, Schneider told The Associated Press on Wednesday, he would think of the car every time he bought a new one. And, he said, he is a car guy who has owned quite a few exotics.

For the months he owned it, he was in love. I've always said that was the prettiest," Schneider, now 82, said.

Tracing the car's history, Maleta learned the Southern California man exporting it to the Netherlands had bought it about three months ago from an owner in the San Joaquin Valley, who himself had it 40 years.

What happened between its disappearance from the concrete canyons of the Upper East Side and its California sojourn — Maleta hopes his investigation will answer that.

After its out-and-back sea journey to the Netherlands, the car is back in Southern California, more than two months after the law finally found it.

It's rusty and scratched, but still worth about $24,000 — and far more if restored, as Schneider plans to do.

He just won't push it too hard. It's old, so is he, and though beautiful it is known for trouble under the hood. "I'll use it as a Sunday car," Schneider said. "They were never reliable."

At least, one day soon, it will be back home.

Go To Hell - this weekend

Now you can tell someone to "Go To Hell" .... and then give them a map.

HELL, Mich. (AP) — Dozens of Michigan hearse enthusiasts will show off their casket-carrying cars during a parade through Hell.
The procession Saturday is part of the 13th annual Hellfest celebration in the hamlet 45 miles west of Detroit. It follows an all-hearse car show.
The Hell-based car club called Just Hearse 'N Around is hoping to reclaim a Guinness World Records mark it set in 2011 when 51 vehicles made the parade. A 107-strong hearse contingent in the Netherlands shattered that record a year later.
Just Hearse 'N Around co-founder Frank Hendeen told the Livingston County Daily Press & Argus, of Howell, that some funeral homes will take part.
But the retired police officer says, "most won't, because they think we're a bunch of — well, we are weird people."

How many times have we heard this ... don't play Frisbee if the police want you .....

Man wanted for robbery arrested at Frisbee tourney

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — A man wanted for an armed bank robbery in New York eluded authorities for four years until they caught up with him while he played at an ultimate Frisbee tournament in Oregon.

KVAL-TV says police in Eugene, Oregon, arrested Jahson Marryshow around 5 p.m. Sunday.

The Ulster County sheriff's office in New York says the 32-year-old, formerly of Woodstock, New York, was indicted in late 2010 on charges of robbing a Bank of America there. Marryshow is also accused of stealing a car and setting a barn on fire as a diversion.

The U.S. Marshals Service and local police got a tip that he was living in Eugene. Police say Marryshow didn't try to flee Sunday. He's being held in the Lane County Jail, pending extradition.

It wasn't immediately clear if Marryshow had a lawyer yet.

Video shows man used banana to rob store

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police in Philadelphia say a man used a banana he swiped from a convenience store counter to simulate a gun while he robbed the place.
Police on Wednesday posted surveillance video of the holdup reported in the East Parkside neighborhood.
The footage shows a man entering the corner grocery store on Tuesday. He waits in line and then takes a banana from the counter by the cash register.
The suspect then sticks the banana in a front pocket of his sweatshirt and points it toward the cashier.
Police say the man demanded money and cigarettes, and made off with an undetermined amount of cash. The video shows him riding off on a bicycle.

Texas set to execute woman convicted of starving 9-year-old

By Brendan O'Brien

(Reuters) - A woman convicted of the 2004 starving death of a 9-year-old boy is scheduled to die on Wednesday by lethal injection at a Texas state prison, authorities said.

Lisa Ann Coleman, 38, would be the second woman executed in the United States this year and the 15th since the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976.

Coleman is scheduled to be put to death after 6 p.m. Central Time (7 p.m. EDT) at the state's death chamber in Huntsville. She would also be the 517th prisoner put to death in Texas, the most of any state since 1976.

Investigators were called to Coleman's house in July 2004, where they found Davontae Williams dead with a disfigured ear, swollen hands and ligature marks on his wrists and ankles, according to court records.

An autopsy determined that Williams, son of Coleman's long-time girlfriend, Marcella Williams, had died from malnutrition and pneumonia and weighed just 35 pounds, court records said.

He had been beaten with a golf club and bound by an extension cord, investigators found. His body also showed signs of having been treated with over-the-counter medications, ointments, creams and bandages, court records said.

There was evidence that suggested he was fed chicken noodle soup and Pedialyte before he died, but a doctor testified that the food he received was "inadequate ... too late, and possibly too much," court records said.

Coleman was convicted of capital murder by a jury in 2006 and sentenced to death. Williams also was convicted of capital murder. Williams was sentenced to life in prison and is eligible for parole in 30 years, according to prison records.

Some things I wished I had asked ...... along the way

Much later in life, I have often wondered, and wished I had asked (I probably never would have, I never gave it any thought until later on) ....... My Dad ..... Why, did you choose to specialize in ..... Obstetrics? Give some thought to that. Was he the brunt of a lot of jokes ..... "Ah Dooley" ..... I can imagine many jokes.

I have wondered why someone would become a Proctologist, or a Urologist ..... an Obstetrician, well, you see what I'm getting at. In my much younger days, with thoughts of going in to medicine, I looked favorably of being ....... a Dermatologist. As an Obstetrician, my Dad was often paged and had to leave a game, was called to the hospital at any hour of the day .... his practice and patients came first. I doubt a Dermatologist has ever had an emergency call. Rub this on, wash with this, cover with this, try these pills, take these ....... I give up, here, see this "Shrink" you have an emotional problem.

Orville, why did you and Wilbur think you could fly?

Well, I guess it had to happen ......

Is the world ready for a video game about menstruation? Two high-school girls think so.

As the end of the summer coding program "Girls Who Code," Andrea “Andy” Gonzales and Sophie Houser needed to complete a project to graduate. Gonzales wanted to use computer code to influence social change and Houser thought it sounded like a cool idea.

“I jokingly said that maybe we can make a game where someone throws out tampons,” says Houser, a 17-year-old senior at Bard High School Early College in New York City.

Tampon Run: It's the menstruation-themed video game you never knew you needed but will find strangely addictive.

This joke became the basis for Tampon Run, an 8-bit video game with a big mission — de-stigmatizing menstruation. Players become a young woman who must collect tampons before the villains do. When the baddies approach the heroine, she shoots tampons at them. If she runs out of tampons, it’s game over.

“The idea of making it funny and quirky kind of makes menstruation a lot more approachable and more comfortable,” says Gonzales, a 16-year-old junior at Hunter College High School.

At first, they used different colored rectangles to represent the girl and the enemies, simply to see if the game worked. Soon, the heroine became a blockish girl with brown pigtails and a pink frock and the villains became oafs in pink baseball caps and blue shirts. When the girl hits them with tampons, they cry “ooh.”

Gonzales and Houser both enjoyed playing older video games that had a pixilated look, so their project pays homage to the games they loved.

As the New York City teens worked out the technical kinks and learned about coding, they learned more about menstruation.

“There are a lot of other countries out there that have women [who are] so uneducated about their own menstruation that they end up isolating themselves,” says Gonzales.

Run out of tampons? Game over! The intro to "Tampon Run" questions why shoot-em-up games are commonplace while menstruation is still taboo.

But they felt shocked to learn that stigma around periods still exists in the United States and Britain. Take when Jessica Valenti, founder of Feministing and Guardian columnist, asked Twitter if there was a country that offered free feminine products. People responded with anger.

“We were surprised and appalled,” says Houser, adding they have only received a few negative responses to their game.

Yet, they realized that they personally had experienced shame when it came to their periods.

“When I was first telling people what I was doing, [I said] it was a video game because I myself wasn’t quite comfortable talking about it,” says Gonzales. “The video game makes me more comfortable.”

While they’re improving Tampon Run to make it more challenging, they still feel overwhelmed by the positive response they’ve received.

“I never thought that this small game the two of us made here in New York would literally reach people all over the world,” says Houser. “I think it is partly thanks to the game being so accessible … it is really funny.”

They’re proud of Tampon Run’s success, and Houser says that seeing friends and family react has been most rewarding. A guy friend played it and told her he realized he knew little about menstruation, and the game made him reflect on it.

“That was so great I had affected someone I knew,” Houser says.

One more ..... The National Anthem .... at sports eventsa

I saw a Facebook post the other day about performing the National Anthem before sporting events. I consider myself a good American. I have heard many, many renditions performed before sporting events .... and then ....

That heavy set comedian who will soon, I guess, be back on that TV show during the day .... I can't mention the name of it ...... my teeth ache just thinking of it .... and, I have not teeth, just dentures. But years ago SHE ...... I can't think of the word to use .... SHE .... offered her rendition of the song, in .......... I can't say voice ........ anyway she did the song before a Dodgers game....... it was ..... well, more than awful ..... worse than that ..... my opinion on topic started changing that day.

All my life I have attended "functions or events" of one kind or another. All preceded with The National Anthem, The Pledge of Allegiance, or a prayer ,,,, some sort of opening.

Now, no prayers, no pledge, and I am OK with no song. Why, way too many "interpretations" of the song ........ mostly really bad ones.

So, YES, I am all for NOT having the National Anthem performed before anything. Unless, they all were performed, in person or on a recording, by the US Army band ..... and, under fear of ejection from the event ........ no applauding or cheering until the song was concluded.

I think NONE is better than the sometimes brutal attempts to perform it ..............

Things I am SICK OF ..............

Television commercials - TV shows are nothing more than filler. They are often the glue that holds the commercials together. I am an admitted "channel hopper." On some of my hopping occasions, every channel I hit .... a commercial.

I am sick of Phil Michelson and his commercial. I am sorry the MILLIONAIRE GOLFER has a problem with arthritis. Why not let someone do the commercial who could use the money. I also wonder, well, he goes in to a gift shop, walks out with a car of some kind, not in a bag like his other gift, and takes it home to his kids. Did he steal it, I wonder?

Television exists for one reason, to sell air time so that companies can air their commercials. The more popular the show is, the more viewers, the more they make on the ads. They don't care about the quality of the show, just viewers ..... thus ..... Naked Dating and Naked and Afraid .... her she is, naked, out in the wilderness .... and we should be concerned ... what about her camera man, and the sound guy, maybe the director and lighting guys and the gaffer, and we are to think she is all alone ...... but ..... NAKED ...

I am waiting for the NFL ratings to drop to see if they will do ......... TOPLESS CHEERLEADERS .... even with the few threads they wear now, some of the moves they make .... well, nothing to do with football ..... just reproducing .... football players.

I am sick of ........ Details at 11 .... why not tell me now, I want to be in bed by then. "Shooting and killings all over town, many deaths, bomb scares, you public safety is in jeopardy, details at 11." And, as I have stated before, I don't know how the stations have been able to schedule so many things ......... at Eleven. Wife shoots husband .... at 11.... three men rob a bank ..... at 11 ..... Man rapes young girl ....... at eleven .......... Why could not, the police be there, at 11, and stop all of these things?

I tried to watch Monday Night Football last night .... I am sorry, I cannot take  Jon Gruden. I think they must be phasing out Monday Night and going with Thursday Night, maybe they didn't like the competition. I even turned the sound off, much better game, but .....

So much more I am sick of ........... so little time ....

Watch and listen ..... pure entertainment

I cannot imagine a more enjoyable evening of pure entertainment than this. EVERYONE has a good time, and, has the pleasure of listening to some of the finest musicians and vocalists. This is entered on my "Bucket List" of things I would like to do ........... well ............ before, you know. But, I have to hit the lottery first.

If you have the time, listen and watch this all the way through. I had not been aware of him until a short time ago, and now I spend many evenings, headphones on, listening to Andre Rieu.

Watch and listen ...... pure enjoyment and entertainment ................


Chinese city creates cellphone sidewalk lane

BEIJING (AP) — Taking a cue from an American TV program, the Chinese city of Chongqing has created a smartphone sidewalk lane, offering a path for those too engrossed in messaging and tweeting to watch where they're going.

But the property manager says it's intended to be ironic — to remind people that it's dangerous to tweet while walking the street.

"There are lots of elderly people and children in our street, and walking with your cellphone may cause unnecessary collisions here," said Nong Cheng, the marketing official with Meixin Group, which manages the area in the city's entertainment zone.

Meixin has marked a 50-meter (165-foot) stretch of pavement with two lanes: one that prohibits cellphone use next to one that allows pedestrians to use them — at their "own risk."

Nong said the idea came from a similar stretch of pavement in Washington D.C. created by National Geographic Television in July as part of a behavior experiment.

She said that pedestrians were not taking the new lanes seriously, but that many were snapping pictures of the signs and sidewalk.

"Those using their cellphones of course have not heeded the markings on the pavement," she said. "They don't notice them."

I'm the new coach ..............

OK, fellas, gather round here .... I want to introduce myself .... I'm Jim Runyan, some fellas call me Big Jim ...... I just prefer Coach, as, well, I am your new Coach as of now. I have a TV conference in a few minuses, but I wanted to go over some things with you guys before I do that. Oh, hi there Bronco, take a seat, nice to see you again.

As you all can guess, I'm gonna be an "old school" kinda coach, so, well, I've talked it over with the owners and the staff, and there are a few changes gonna have to happen, or, well, you are out of the program.

Well, I've done some research on my own, an one things that is gonna happen, and I mean this ... well, think about it, after a lot of plays you guys are butting helmets. Well, concussions are a big thing now, and my policy is that there is enough helmet to helmet during the game, we do not need any after the play. A pat on the back, shake hands, for some of you guys that came out, maybe even a pat on the butt, but, and I mean this ..... no more contact of any kind to the helmet.

I want you guys to present a professional image out there .... you guys are big time, professional football players. Many of you played little league, high school, then college, and made it to the pros. So, our new policy is gonna be, after you make a tackle or break up a pass .... well, at the end of a play, act like you've done it before, pretend like it is not the first time you sacked a quarterback. There will be no more of the ........ dancing, gyrating, all them dance things you guys have been doin. I want people to think that this ain't the first time you done somethin.

Now, especially you guys who came out, none of them sissy moven round things. An you, Curley, I think your name is .... you are one of the guys who has come out .... I noticed you in that last game, well you was blowen kisses to the crowd ... an that thing you did with your butt, well, no more, ain't gonna be none of that.

From now on, I want you guys to act like professional football players, experienced guys, like you done all this before, not a bunch a sissy dancers, an Charley, one more a them poses of yours and you are off to the CFL ..... OK guys .... I gotta go to makeup an get ready for my TV interview, Mike Ditka is gonna be there ...............
