–The slimy underbelly of Albany politics shows how people like Tim Kennedy and Catherine Young are paid for by Manhattan real estate investors. https://www.propublica.org/…/developers-of-manhattan-luxury…
–The billboard is up, school board voted and the Paladino haters even have a Web site. If Carl refuses to resign, it’s all for naught. Also please understand, before long he will say something stupid again, Alan Bedenko and compadres will report about it and the whole cycle will repeat itself. http://boycottpaladino.com/

–A high school biology teacher, on a leave of absence from teaching, spent the year living out of his Subaru in Wal Mart parking lots and birding, tallying a new record of 752 species and piling 60,000 miles on his car.

–In Toronto, where you need permission to cut down a tree, a woman is mewling over the monstrous black walnut, worried falling nut might hurt small children and complaining toxins in the roots poison the soil. http://www.cbc.ca/…/black-walnuts-killer-trees-or-vital-par…
–Vehicle-to-vehicle communications, in-road, magnetic resonance charging and a ban on diesel cars in big cities. Those are just a few of the sci-fi like advances on the way in coming years. http://www.bbc.com/…/20161228-six-bright-ideas-that-are-cha…
–Terry Pegula finally came forth and spoke to the Associated Press about his football team and his reason for firing Rex Ryan. I think his treatment of GM Doug Whaley is pathetic. http://pro32.ap.org/…/apnewsbreak-bills-owner-outlines-reas…
–Have I said BRING BACK TYROD lately? http://wivb.com/…/frustrated-taylor-on-losing-starting-job…/
–Gale Gilbert’s son Garrett is getting a shot with the Raiders practice squad. http://www.sfgate.com/…/Agent-Raiders-have-signed-QB-Gilber…
