The project was/is worked on in my home town, although the person who owns the land they are leasing wanted to force them to sign a 10 year lease instead of a shorter lease has dropped their lease and they are leaving the area in first quarter 2013 to go back to Detroit. There were fuel cell cars driving here on test runs constantly, although since the announcement that has pretty much stopped. On the outside the cars looked like normal GM cars (Of course with nice "GM FUEL CELL CAR" decals branded on it)

When former Greece Police Chief Merritt Rahn was found guilty of cover-up crimes involving two of his officers, he lost his job, his reputation and his freedom. He didn't, however, lose his taxpayer funded pension. For the past two years, while behind bars, Rahn has been collecting a retirement pension of $55,000 per year.

"Well if he does, he doesn't deserve it, that's for sure," said Greece resident Bob Warnick when we told him of Rahn's pension.

In fact, that's just the tip of the iceberg. We found many public employees convicted of crimes and still collecting their pensions. And it's perfectly legal.

After digging online, we ran the names of some former dubious local public employees into a database that tracks pensions. And here's what I Team 10 discovered:

*Former state assemblyman Jerry Johnson. Convicted of breaking into a staff member's home in Livingston County, he retired in 2000 and now collects an annual pension of $39,807.

*Bob Morone, in prison for his part in the county Robutrad scandal...$18,790.

*Former City of Rochester inspector William Redden, who admitted to taking bribes in a bid rigging scheme...$21,376.

*Former Monroe County Sheriff's Deputy James Telban was found guilty of misdemeanor DWI in a crash that killed a motorcyclist. He still gets his pension...$30,000 a year.

*John Stanwix, former Monroe County Water Authority chairman who pled guilty to a misdemeanor charge of steering contracts to a consulting company he owned has an staggering pension of $98,658 per year.

*Nelson Miles, Jr., formerly a teacher in Caledonia-Mumford, who downloaded child porn...$21,705.

*Crooked cop Gary Pignato, now locked up for using his badge in Greece to coerce women into sex, gets $45,494 a year.

and that's just a partial list from one small area that isn't Chicago or New Orleans

I'll be right there by your side telling them to fuck right off and do it in their own homes or outside.

Which I'll appreciate. Will you be by my side telling them to fuck off when they start lighting up in parks, beaches, apartments, hotels, and college campuses?

I found a link with real information and accurate details in the matter:

"The fact that I'm being charged for anything is so ridiculous, then the fact that they charged me with falsely reporting an incident. What incident did I report?"

"When he initiates an advertisement that causes an alarm or a public annoyance, that is according to New York State penal against the law," says State Trooper Mark O'Donnell. "Similar to someone yelling out fire in a restaurant where there is no fire."

So, their claim is that attempting to sell your children on craigslist is equivalent to yelling "fire" in a theater, as it would be a violation of more specifically New York Penal Code 240.50(1).

I don't expect the charges to be upheld, any good lawyer worth his salt should be able to point out that the statute does not by matter of semantics fit the actual circumstances.

I guess Van Gogh shouldn't have been eating paint, but I'm getting a bit of so much scaremongering over small exposures to things.

The problem is that if a kid swallows it (which is not uncommon), it's not a small exposure. For example:

Three flip flop bracelet charms sold at Walmart contained between 84 and 86 percent cadmium. The charms fared the worst of any item on the stomach acid test; one shed more cadmium in 24 hours than what World Health Organization guidelines deem a safe exposure over 60 weeks for a 33-pound child.

But if your reasoning abilities lead you to conclude that since both salt and cadmium can be harmful, therefore salt and cadmium are equally harmful, then by all means feel free to munch down some of these trinkets.
