HD on the way
Verizon announced that in early July it will start rolling out new high-definition channels, the first sign of progress since it told FiOS subscribers to expect 150 HD channels by the end of 2008.
Verizon is going to add 60 new channels, 25 of them HD, first. The HD channels will include Lifetime HD, Animal Planet HD, TLC HD, The Science Channel HD, and the Smithsonian Channel HD, as well as five more HD channels from movie networks Starz and Showtime.
Dead bird hotline
Suffolk County has set up a hotline for residents to report certain types of dead birds that may be infected with the West Nile Virus.
Call (631) 787-2200 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Leave a message to report birds discovered in the evening and early morning hours.
A Duck in Mexico
Want a better job in a warmer, more adventurous climate? Just join the Long Island Ducks and bat a .362 average.
Ray Navarrate, an outfielder in the Islip-based Atlantic League baseball team, was just signed by Olmecas de Tabasco, a AAA team in the Mexico League.
It’s too bad for the Ducks, because Navarrate was the league’s home run leader.
