Grey's Anatomy'': Plasma TV

Was starting to get pretty over Hahn's bitchiness, too, and couldn't help thinking she could use a little of that humanization Grey's can be so good at. On the other hand, not totally over — though not totally under yet, either — the idea of Derek and his Mary Louise Parker-alike nurse as they worked together, all cute-ish, on fixing that computer that helps him do brain surgery. Oh, she forgot to press the restart button! All fixed! (No, seriously, that's really how it ended.)

Alex had his own problems when he had to close out a surgery that Sloan (called away to the Seth Green crisis) had started; Alex may or may not have screwed up because Ava the Amnesiac was watching from the gallery. Sloan did, however, get to Seth just as his bleeding finally stopped. Maybe because Seth had lost enough to cover Lexie in it? Just a guess.

All have responsibility in fixing Nassau animal control concern

Today's Nassau County Animal Control mess is no different than what it was 20 years ago. Interim County Administrator Ted Selby's comment about animal control, "I need the emotions out of it," ["County wants new outside review of animal control," My Nassau Sun, Sept. 29] is exactly the sort of attitude that has allowed the mess to continue.

For any kind of real change to take place in respect to animals and animal control in Nassau County, a whole lot of people are going to have to put emotions into it - positive ones - and back up those emotions with positive action.

Everyone has the power to turn this mess around. Here's who - and how - from one resident's perspective.

Nassau County commissioners need to:

- Hire only animal control directors and staff that care about the welfare of animals and are dedicated and skilled in promoting responsible pet ownership.

The New Chinese Take-Out

From children's toys to toothpaste, the list continues to grow.

Tainted and counterfeit toothpaste with a Chinese origin has been discovered in Canada, in Massachusetts, and in prison systems in the southern United States. A temporary halt to the import of Chinese toothpaste has failed to eliminate the threat, as Canadian and U.S. communities are discovering evidence of tainted toothpaste already in the market. Health authorities began to warn consumers in early July after tests conducted on counterfeit toothpaste sold under the Colgate brand name turned up evidence of harmful bacteria. Canadian authorities then urged consumers to avoid Chinese toothpaste after high levels of diethylene glycol were discovered. At the same time, Massachusetts authorities advised consumers to avoid toothpaste marked “Made in China," and “Colgate" produced in South Africa, after toxic chemicals were discovered in the toothpaste sold in several communities.
