London 2012 opening ceremony is being anticipated by many people around the world. Many are wondering if it will top the opening ceremony from the 2008 summer Olympics in Beijing, China.

This year, the opening ceremony in London is being directed by British film director Danny Boyle. Boyle has been involved with productions such as Slumdog Millionaire, 127 Hours and 28 Days Later.

The schedule of events is as followed, courtesy of www.london2012.com.

• The ceremony begins when the Head of State, Queen Elizabeth II, is received at the entrance of the Olympic Stadium by Jacques Rogge, the President of the International Olympic Committee.
• A parade of athletes from the different participating nations enters the Olympic Stadium in, "alphabetical order, according to the language of the Host Country, apart from the Greek team, which enters first for the Olympics, and the team of the Great Britain, which marches in last."
• The chair of London's Olympic organizing committee, Seb Coe, will give a speech, following by a subsequent speech by Rogge. Their speeches end by welcoming the Head of State to proclaim the beginning of the games.
• After the games are declared open, the Olympic Flag enters the stadium and is hoisted into the air as the British national anthem is played.
• A participating athlete, judge and coach from Team Great Britain all take a vow to compete and judge the games according to the rules of each respective sport.
• The most well-known portion of the ceremony comes at the end, as the Olympic Flame enters the Olympic Stadium. The flame is passed through the procession of athletes before being given to the final Torchbearer, who lights the Cauldron, signifying the beginning of the games. The flame will burn for the duration of the Games.

Nassau County is putting their best effort forward to try and keep The New York Islanders in Nassau County. Leading the effort is Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, as reported by Newsday! The discussion has been put to standstill for quite some time since Mangano proposed a plan in January to renovate or build a new arena in place of Nassau Coliseum.

Manganos efforts are beginning by keepings the plan way more open than in the past. Now, Mangano is calling for any developer to kick start construction on the site. He has also become the chief of development on the project as well.

As of now, the highest bidder will be the single developer of the construction site and will have control of the project as long as it meets The Town of Hempstead’s zoning regulations for the land. 

One of the most important aspects at this point is the winning bidder for the project must begin negotiations soon after the Islanders are guaranteed to stay in Nassau County!

What are your thoughts? Do you think the Isles should stay in Nassau? Do you think a new coliseum should be built? Let us know your thoughts or concerns on our Facebook page linked HERE! 

DWI Rates High on Fourth of July!

Last Fourth of July there were 100 DWI arrests in Long Island. Sadly, only 2 percent of drunk drivers are caught, meaning there could have been as many as 5,000 people driving under the influence on Long Island last Fourth of July.


With that said, Rep. Steve Israel, MADD, and DADSS called on Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood to spend 10.5 million from the Surface Transportation bill to be used in anti-DWI technology research.

While we wait for this technology to be put into affect, reporting drunk driving and taking away someone’s keys are important prevention strategies.
