Here's some info that was posted in the dnnyc yahoo group: CENTER FOR INDEPENDENCE OF THE DISABLED IN NEW YORK, INC. ....
Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver
....

The Center for Independence of the Disabled in New York, Inc. ("CIDNY") is the leading organization serving and representing people with disabilities in New York City. Our goal is to ensure full integration, independence and equal opportunity for all people with disabilities by removing barriers to the social, economic, cultural and civic life of the community. CIDNY assists people with disabilities to gain skills and obtain services they need to live independently in the community. CIDNY also advocates for fair and effective policies that ensure full and equal access for people with disabilities.

The Nursing Home Transition and Diversion Waiver (NHTD) is a program that ensures that persons with disabilities can access services at home in the community instead of being forced to live in institutions. The Center for Independence of the Disabled is the NHTD Regional Resource Development Center for New York City, responsible for helping people with disabilities and seniors avoid institutionalization or come out of nursing homes into their own homes with appropriate supports and services.


Assisted Suicide of a healthy 79 year old woman http://www.nytimes.com/2008/07/03/world/europe/03germany.html?_r=1&oref=slogin

Today's Times describes the suicide of Ms. Schardt in Germany. She was depressed and distressed by her body becoming increasingly weak. She was socially isolated. There was no indication in the article if there were services available to enable her to stay in her apartment, she believed she was going to have to enter a nursing home. She thought death was preferable to that fate.

I am sick of the ethnic stereotyping that has gone on in the past few weeks. I am an old Jew for Obama. I used to live in Kentucky and I am sick of all the simple minded descriptions of people from there. It's a state that goes from the Appalachians to the Mississippi, coal, tobacco, bourbon, horses, big cities, fine universities. Its people are as diverse as the state, the majority may be white and Protestant but that doesn't tell you anything about the individual. After Obama does his tour of Florida I hope he will visit Kentucky.

Benazir Bhutto has been murdered. When will our government stop pretending that Musharraf is our ally? We should be supporting the pro-democracy people in Pakistan.

    Mentor-Mentee

    Years ago, I went to a job interview, the technical part lasted more than an hour. I thought I did very well, but I never got a call back. A month later, I called the person in charge of the project I had been interviewed for. I found out there was no project, just one that had been proposed. The reason I had been interviewed was that the guy I was talking to wanted to present not just a proposal, but a list of qualified applicants to demonstrate the viability of the project. The big shots turned down the proposal.

    A few weeks ago I was at a senior citizens program and saw a notice that a teenage volunteer was looking for someone to play chess with. Great! I thought, this is the kind of thing I would want to do. Help someone, who is helping us seniors. Not quite. It turns out this agency wants to create a program in which seniors help teenagers play chess. I don't know how many bureaucrats are involved in this. I do know there is a social worker that has to interview me, to decide if I am a suitable volunteer. There is the person who will design the program. Yes, the same theme, no project, someone is working on a proposal. The two times I have been asked questions on the phone, I think no one associated with planning this knows anything about chess. Perhaps they've read about Renée M. Yarzig's program, Cross-Generation Chess, maybe they are familiar with the Chess in the Schools program. No telling. All I know is one old undistinguished chess player has the ability to help several people in a social service agency remain gainfully employed.

    $12,187 for meals at the Van Cortlandt Village Senior Center. This is from Koppel, one of the City Council member allocations listed in NYC_Budget_FY08_ScheduleC.pdf That's what my local senior center gets money for. I was hoping for an allocation to restore some of the exercise programs that have been cut, such as Tai Chi.

    Wal-Mart says no to Manhattan

    I read the online NY Times today, March 28 and they said that Wal-Mart usually has prices lower by 10 to 30 per cent compared to other retail stores. I have been to the White Plains Wal-Mart twice and didn't find this to be true.

    Dorot in Manhattan

    I visited Dorot yesterday. This is a senior center with an emphasis on physical and mental health. It is not a place where you sit around all day waiting for your death. I took part in a session that was part yoga part qi gong. We moved to music. It was very enjoyable.

    New York State, its strange way of distributing funds
    December 13, 2006 Sen. Efrain Gonzalez was indicted for mail fraud and theft of federal funds.
    In the June 29, 2006 edition of The Riverdale Press there is a front page article State grants: helping hand or slush fund? written by Joshua Payne. Here are two paragraphs from the story.
    ....
    In a process shrouded in secrecy and driven by politics, each year state senators and assembly members receive funds, known as "member items," to distribute at their discretion within their districts.
    ....
    Sen. Gonzalez -- whose district encompasses parts of Kingsbridge, Kingsbridge Heights, Van Cortlandt Village and Fieldston -- did not return calls seeking to find out what he does with the money.
    Note: Sen. Gonzalez is my state senator.

    August 25, 2006 - Sen. Efrain Gonzalez was indicted today. The indictment accused him of a scheme to defraud the West Bronx Neighborhood Association.

    A little more than two hours ago a small plane crashed into a building two blocks north of New York Hospital. It's time for flights to be disallowed along the East River. This could have been catastrophic.

    The October schedule has been revised. Some items have had their days shifted.

    Oct. 3: I went to City Island, it was a beautiful day, perfect for such an excursion. Most than two dozen people went, most ate at the Lobster House, which provided a choice of dinners for $15.00. Everyone who had the meal enjoyed it thoroughly. The entrees that I know were served were; shrimp scampi, lobster, filet of sole, salmon filet. I saw the salmon portion, it was huge. My friend and I enjoyed strolling along City Island Avenue.
