Where to Shop in Bethesda, Maryland

A short commute from the capital city, the town is a shopping destination on its own.

I have nothing against Bethesda.

To Help Kids Thrive, Coach Their Parents

Adults can be taught to create an environment for success.

OK.   The Jamaican study has found an important aspect of child development.

Children need to interact with the adults in their lives.
The interaction is vital to their development.

Metro-North Restores Limited Service After Fire

The damage from a fire that broke out beneath the railroad tracks in East Harlem continues to disrupt service; an official said trains would run on a Saturday schedule until Friday.

Generators are an emergency measure.
Con Ed. should make it easier to get a meter.

At Stuyvesant Town, a Child’s Utopia

Photographs from a spring day in 1960 depict children playing in the sprawling Manhattan development, shielded in an idyll from the unrest all around.

Racism and racial conflict run all the way through society.

What’s for Lunch? Go See the Cart Lady of the Bronx Courthouses

Fauzia Abdur-Rahman, whose attempts at cooking while growing up in Jamaica often ended badly, has operated a popular food cart in the Bronx for two decades.

Fine by me.

Manhattan Store Cited for Violations Where Metro-North Track Fire Started

Investigators have found several fire-code violations at the garden-supply store in Manhattan where a fuel spill ignited a fire underneath the Metro-North Railroad on Tuesday.

An under capitalized business.

Noise Complaints: Artists and Musicians

Dealing with grinding metal sounds, loud rehearsals, and an out-of-order elevator.

The noise problem is a real one.

My choice is generous space.

Opinion

Don’t Blame Diversity for Distrust

The real problem is unequal opportunity.

The authors understand the problem.
I would use a different set of words to explain it.
"Corelation does not imply causality."

Travel

A Plush Hideway in the Florida Keys

On Little Palm Island in Florida, guests can swim, kayak and lounge with a well-made cocktail (though the key deer can be frisky).

It is Florida with all the Florida problems.

Homes for Sale in Brooklyn and Manhattan

This week’s properties are in the Financial District, the West Village and Prospect Heights, Brooklyn.

I do not want to live in the city as it is or will be.
I do want to have the city in reach. 
Three hours each way is in reach.

Opinion

The Broken Bargain With College Graduates

College-educated workers have not seen meaningful pay raises, and public policy has failed to address the stagnation.

College education is in economic surplus.
Art education has never been out of economic surplus.

Design seems to be incomprehensible to business and Art.

Rikers Island Guards and a Cook Took Bribes, Officials Say

The city employees were indicted after a monthslong investigation into three smuggling operations that took place at the Rikers Island jail complex.

This kind of smuggling is universal.
The organizations must expect it and guard against it.

Finally, a Move to Manhattan

Keith Peterson was looking for a one-bedroom in Chelsea, but was charmed by the Lower East Side.

Good for him.
I have siblings.
And a noise and dirt habit.

A Child Care Gap in the Résumé: Whether to Explain or Not

Though many women follow “don’t ask, don’t tell” when job-seeking after a child care gap, a study says it may be better to explain why they stayed home.

I will not argue on strategy.

Bronx Woman Sentenced to 8 Years for Poisoning and Drowning Her Children

A lawyer for Lisette Bamenga argued that she had postpartum psychosis when she killed her 4-year-old son and 4-month-old daughter in 2012.

There is no good resolution for the problem in this culture.
"The only way to win is not to play"

Opinion

What My Mother Sees in Hillary

The story of two strong women who have fought against society’s constraints.

Good.

Job Market

In Desperate Pursuit of the Zero-Stress Job

Stress had always seemed to be the lifeblood of a fruitful career, but a hormone condition rendered it a threatening trigger to be avoided at all costs.

Stress seems to equate to worth.

You’ve Canceled the Wedding, Now the Aftermath

Wedding jitters have long been Hollywood material, but in real life it can be traumatic. Plus, six tips on easing the financial and emotional pain.

I have no objection to going to city hall.
It is your event.
We can send announcements later or not as you choose.

Sooner is better.  As soon as you can is best.

H.I.V. Rates Among Gay Men Are Higher in South, Study Finds

More than a quarter of gay and bisexual men in some Southern cities and states have H.I.V., according to the study, and medical services are lacking.

No one deserves H.I.V.
Failure to treat it is inhuman.
The low reported rate in West Virginia may be a failure of medical care generally rather than a failure to treat the specific virus.

Review: A Persian Renaissance at Shiraz Kitchen in Elmsford

The new owner, Reza Parhizkaran, has created a place for the area’s Iranian Americans to find familiar food, and for those who don’t know the cuisine to get an introduction.

I would be happy to visit the establishment.
