Last year I had a cyst removed from my shoulder by Dr. Neckman.

I watched a local news report this morning about the expansion of ferry service between Staten Island and Manhattan. The reporter:

The last of a Hawaiian land snail species has died. The Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources says the last known Achatinella apexfulva died on New Year’s Day. It was about 14 years old and named George. In 1997, the last 10 known of its kind were brought into a laboratory at the University of Hawaii to be raised in captivity. Some offspring were produced but the snails all eventually died — except for George. A 2-millimeter snippet of George’s foot was collected in 2017 for research. It remains in deep freeze in San Diego. The snails were once common in Oahu’s Koolau mountains and were used to make lei. The department says other remaining snails native to Hawaii face extinction from threats including invasive species and climate change.

I hope it's a huge hit and keeps him on Broadway and off TV forever, since I don't see plays, but have had to endure several of his annoying hammy 'acting' performances over the years on several shows I watch. Maybe he can do something with Matthew Jessica Parker, so he can get him off THE CONNERS; I feel like barfing every time he shows up as Jackie's beau.

Just consider yourself lucky he didn't decide to feed his dog Avalon jerky.

Oh, please! SVU had this plot 16 years ago, and it wasn't one of their better episodes. Waste TV-14 | 1h | Crime, Drama, Mystery | Episode aired 15 November 2002 Season 4 | Episode 8 The team is on the case of a woman who's been in a coma for 14 months and is found to be 7 weeks pregnant. After going though many suspects, they focus on the patient's doctor and discover he is impregnating comatose female patients with a rich donor's sperm in order to get embryonic stem cells that are biologically compatible. The problem for the ADA is that laws are not on her side in prosecuting such crimes.

A 79-year-old Ohio man called police to complain about the quality of "sexual services" rendered by a pair of prostitutes he paid $500 to visit hishome, cops report. The septuagenarian, who lives in South Euclid, a Cleveland suburb, dialed 911 on January 3 to report a robbery. The john, identified in a police report as William Batts, said that while the hookers “did perform some sexual services,” the duo “failed to meet [his] expectations.” Thankfully, police did not further describe the elderly man’s carnal desires. During a conversation with a police dispatcher, Batts said that he was “in the process of getting robbed” by “two ladies” who took $500 from his wallet. By the time cops arrived at the complainant’s home, the prostitutes had departed. Batts told officers that he had met the women through a friend in Cleveland. Hedescribed the hookers as “African American females, approximately 40 years old, and dressed all in black,” cops noted. One woman, Batts said, was about 5’ 7”, while the second hooker, named Keisha, “is the short fat one.” Though the pensioner contended he had been victimized, officers explained that his unsatisfactory encounter with the women did not constitute an actual robbery attempt. While Batts appears to have admitted to solicitation of prostitution, a misdemeanor, he will not be charged in connection with his disappointing dalliance, according to a police official.

An Iowa felon who authorities believe was intoxicated allegedly fired a .30-30 rifle at a deer but accidentally hit a 73-year-old woman in her home Friday night, The Des Moines Register reported. The woman was reportedly cleaning a stove in her Ottumwa, Iowa, home when she heard a loud noise. She felt the back of her head and discovered she was bleeding. She drove herself to a hospital where doctors dislodged a bullet from the back of her head, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources said in a news release. She was later discharged from the hospital. The suspect, later identified as 34-year-old Lee Joseph Ryals, was arrested at a camper for allegedly shooting a deer around 7:00 p.m. The arrest was about 45 minutes before authorities learned of the woman’s injuries. Investigators soon connected Ryals with the alleged offense, estimating that the bullet traveled more than 120 yards before it entered the woman’s home. Authorities reportedly said Ryals was likely drunk when he shot the rifle. Ryals was charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and reckless use of a firearm. Conservation officers also charged him with several hunting violations. Ottumwa is about 90 miles southeast of Des Moines Radar O'Reilly's hometown.

Oral-B Glide dental floss contributes to elevated levels of toxic PFAS chemicals in the body, according to a new study from the Silent Spring Institute in collaboration with the Public Health Institute in Berkeley, California. Scientists are concerned about widespread exposure to PFAS (perfluorooctanesulfonic acids) in the population because the water- and grease-proof substances have been linked with kidney and testicular cancer, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, low birth weight, decreased fertility and immune system damage. The new research, published this week in the Journal of Exposure Science & Environmental Epidemiology, offers new insight into how these chemicals end up in people’s bodies and how consumers can limit their exposures by modifying their behavior. “This is the first study to show that using dental floss containing PFAS is associated with a higher body burden of these toxic chemicals,” says lead author Katie Boronow, a staff scientist at Silent Spring. “The good news is, based on our findings, consumers can choose flosses that don’t contain PFAS.” Researchers measured 11 different PFAS chemicals in blood samples taken from 178 middle-aged women enrolled in the Public Health Institute’s Child Health and Development Studies, a multigenerational study of the impact of environmental chemicals and other factors on disease. To understand how people’s behavior influences their exposure to PFAS, the researchers then compared the blood measurements with results from interviews in which they asked the women about nine behaviors that could lead to higher exposures. Half of the women in the analysis were non-Hispanic white and half were African American. Women who flossed with Oral-B Glide tended to have higher levels of a type of PFAS called PFHxS (perfluorohexanesulfonic acid) in their body compared with those who didn’t. To further understand the results, the researchers tested 18 dental flosses (including three Glide products) for the presence of fluorine — a marker of PFAS — using a technique called particle-induced gamma-ray emission (PIGE) spectroscopy. All three Glide products tested positive for fluorine, as did two store brand flosses with “compare to Oral-B Glide” labelling and one floss describing itself as a “single strand Teflon fiber” tested positive for fluorine. Representatives for Proctor and Gamble, which manufactures Glide products, have yet to respond to The Post’s request for comment. Boronow’s team points out that the public also is exposed to PFAS in fast food packaging, non-stick pans, waterproof clothing and stain-resistant carpets. African American women who frequently ate prepared food in coated cardboard containers, such as french fries or takeout, had elevated blood levels of four PFAS chemicals compared to women who rarely ate such food. Researchers did not see the same relationship with prepared food among non-Hispanic whites. “Overall, this study strengthens the evidence that consumer products are an important source of PFAS exposure,” says Boronow. “Restricting these chemicals from products should be a priority to reduce levels in people’s bodies.”

Jeff Bezos and wife MacKenzie announce divorce after 25 years of marriage

She and Meathead grew up across the road from each other. She was in the last building on the odd side of Grand Concourse (#3235), he was in the last building on the even side (#3224). I always thought those were interesting-looking buildings, not knowing who had once lived there. 3224 is a triangular building that takes up an entire triangular block. It has a set-up like some older fancy buildings in The Bronx, Brooklyn, & Queens. It has a central address, but several sections, each with their own entrance accessed through a central courtyard. Usually there’d be more than one place to enter the property, but as security concerns grew, they’d be gated off. If you look at the street view just to the right of the entrance of 3224, you can see through the locked gate that there are a couple of covered entrances visible in the courtyard. The building’s intercom is on this gate, which was not a part of the bldg originally. If you follow the street view around to the middle of E. Mosholu Pkwy S. there is another gate marked 3224 which can be accessed by tenants with a key, but there’s no intercom there. You can see more inner entrances in the courtyard. An interesting thing that happens in hilly areas (The Bronx has a lot of hills) is that buildings can have more stories on one side of the block than the other. Since Mosholu is lower than Grand Concourse, there are basement apts along Mosholu, each with their own entrances to the street. To the right of the gate you can see doors marked BD & BE. To the left of the gate you have BB & BC, along with the medical suite BA.

A woman who swiped right on Bumble wound up getting stung when the match she bragged to about poaching a “bigo buck” turned out to be a game warden. According to the Oklahoma Department of Wildlife Conservation, McIntosh County game warden Cannon Harrison was using the dating app in December when was notified he matched a woman in his area. After exchanging greetings, the woman, whom authorities declined to identify, revealed she had just shot a “bigo buck” and was “pretty happy about it,” according to copies of the messages. “Hell yeah,” Harrison replied. “Get em with a bow?” “We don’t need to talk about that,” the woman replied. When Harrison jokingly asked if she bagged the deer with a spotlight, she replied, “yeahhhh.” The woman admitted to illegally harvesting a deer — at night and outside rifle season — and revealed where she shot it and shared a photo of herself posing with the dead animal. “It definitely was a shock,” Harrison told Tulsa World. “First you think, ‘This isn’t real.’ You think, ‘Maybe she knows who I am and is teasing me,’ but we did some digging on who she was and where she lived.” Turns out, the woman ended up meeting her match, albeit not in the manner in which she likely intended. Harrison and his colleagues discovered she not only illegally shot the deer but also harvested only the head and backstrap meat, which is also illegal in Oklahoma. The woman and an unidentified accomplice were ultimately fined $2,400 for improper possession of an illegally taken animal and taking game out of season, authorities said. The game commission did not pursue charges related to the spotlighting of the deer or the waste of the meat. “You can’t just ignore a broken law that falls right in your lap, but [it] was kind of a bummer,” Harrison told Tulsa World. “She said it was her first deer ever, too.” The game commission on Sunday shared photos and screenshots from the case on Facebook. The post has amassed more than 500 comments and 1,500 shares. The majority of commenters found humor in how the case developed, with one person joking, “I’m pretty sure a court date wasn’t the type of date she was looking for,” and another saying, “Bet he finds his future wife after all of this attention!” If anything, the story should serve as a reminder that you truly never know who you are talking to online.

Maybe he’s just covering his ass! A Florida man who was busted for allegedly smuggling syringes in his rectum into jail claims that they don’t belong to him, according to officials. Wesley Dasher Scott, 40, was initially busted on a marijuana charge. He then pulled three syringes from his body cavity during a strip search at Pinellas County Jail, news station WFLA reported. Scott handed the syringes over to authorities and claimed he found them. He was then booked on several drug charges, including possession of marijuana. Authorities also slapped Scott with an additional charge of felony possession of contraband in a county detention facility. He remained in jail Tuesday on $5,000 bond, according to court records.

A little British boy fought terminal cancer long enough to meet and name his newborn baby sister and told his devastated parents: “You can only cry for 20 minutes.” Nine-year-old Bailey Cooper battled the disease for 15 months and was determined to hold his new sibling who was due. Mom Rachel, 28, had her in November and Bailey named her Millie — and the day before he died, Bailey was pictured cradling the baby in his arms. Tragically, Bailey died on Christmas Eve — and his proud mom and dad, Lee, 30, said he smiled all the way through his treatment. Rachel said: “We didn’t think he would last that long, but he was determined to meet Millie. It got to the end of November and Millie was born. He hugged her and did everything an older brother would do — change her, wash her, sing to her.” Lee added: “Doctors said he was going to go before Millie was born. He didn’t. He fought and on the way to hospital, he said, ‘We should call her Millie.’” “But the moment after he met her, he began to taper off quickly. He was slipping away.” The family knew Bailey was unlikely to survive to celebrate Christmas but encouraged him to write a list of gifts he would like. But his parents noticed they seemed to be chosen with his younger brother, 6-year-old Riley, in mind. Knowing he was dying, Bailey had planned his own funeral and asked that all guests be dressed in superhero outfits. He told his parents in their last family meeting: “You’re only allowed to cry for 20 minutes. You have to take care of Riley and Millie.” And when his grandmother said she wished she could take his place, Bailey told her: “That is really selfish, Nan. You have grandchildren to take care of.” After being taken to a hospice on Dec. 22, Bailey’s family gathered by his bedside and read him stories to keep him company. Rachel said: “He knew he was not going to be here for Christmas, but we tried to get him to put together a Christmas list. He said he didn’t want to, but we encouraged him to.” “By 11:45 a.m. on Christmas Eve, we were by his bedside. We knew it was not going to be long. We told him, ‘It’s time to go, Bailey. Stop.’” “The moment we said ‘stop,’ he took his last breath and had just the one tear come out of his eye. It was peaceful.” Lee added: “We were going to get everything he asked for. But most of the stuff he asked for were things he never played with.” “They were more suited for his little brother. He had picked everything for Riley because he knew he was not going to play with them.” Bailey first became ill in the summer of 2016 and after a series of tests in September, he was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma, which develops in the network of vessels and glands in the body. By the time it was discovered, it was already in Stage Three. Doctors treated the cancer with chemotherapy and steroid medication but were optimistic that Bailey would recover, and in February 2017, he went into remission. Bailey returned to Stoke Lodge Primary School in Patchway, Bristol, about 120 miles west of London, and was subject to regular check-ups and routine MRIs every three months. But when the family went on Easter vacation to a Devon holiday park, they were dealt a devastating blow. Lee said: “On the second day, we were in Paignton Zoo when we had a phone call from the hospital that he had relapsed and they needed him back in. Bailey showed signs that he was breathless and tired.” The family was told there was a 70 percent survival rate and chemotherapy began again. “The doctors threw the book at it and told us even if he survived it, the long-term effects will last for the rest of his life,” Lee said. “He had a stem cell transplant. We had to try everything we could.” In July, the family was told that Bailey was in remission, but by August the cancer had come back — and they were told there was nothing more that could be done. The cancer had spread quickly and lumps were found in Bailey’s chest, lungs, liver and stomach. Hundreds of people turned out to pay their respects to Bailey on Jan. 6, including Bristol Rovers FC captain Tom Lockyer, who struck up a friendship with the young football fan. Lee said: “Bailey smiled through it all. He pulled funny faces and made people laugh, even though he was in so much pain.”

Chicken fingers went flying on an Alabama highway Saturday evening following an 18-wheeler car crash. The sighting prompted a number of hungry drivers and motorists to stop their vehicles and collect the fried snack the next day. Unfortunately, their desire to chow down caused a significant amount of traffic, which is illegal. Shortly after the crash, The Cherokee County Emergency Management released a public service announcement warning those traveling on Highway 35 near the Dekalb County line to not stop their vehicles. “The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office is asking that no one try to stop to get the chicken tenders that were spilled from the 18 wheeler accident last night on Highway 35. You’re creating a traffic hazard! It’s a crime to impede the flow of traffic,” Cherokee County’s EMA wrote on their Facebook page. In addition to creating a traffic hazard, the EMA explained the chicken tenders were unsafe to eat. “Those cases have been on the ground for over 24 hours and are unsafe to consume,” the EMA continued before adding that anyone who stopped to pick them up “could be facing charges.” Alabama officials then made the decision to close down the highway to one lane in order to expedite the cleaning process. However, it wasn’t until Monday afternoon that the tenders were cleared. “The scene on Highway 35 has been cleaned up and the road is now reopened,” the EMA revealed in an update. At this time, it is not clear as to how many people stopped in the middle of traffic to collect the tenders and whether or not those people have been identified and charged.
