[UC] *temporary* foster home needed for dog asap
Can someone forward this around to dog-friendly folks in the area... Many thanks! -L (urgent) can you help me foster this poor dog (West Philly) Date: 2011-05-04, 7:57AM EDT Reply to: comm-yabre-2361574...@craigslist.org [Errors when replying to ads?] Can someone in West Philly near 50th and Baltimore foster this poor ringworm dog, Vinny? I can't because of my current roommate situation - but I could come to your house to take care of him every day. I could walk him, feed him and play with him. I am moving into my own apartment in a few months and would most likely be able to take on the fostering then. He is at the PSPCA and I want him to get out of there so he can heal, be in a loving environment, and not be at risk for being put down.He has ringworm but the PSPCA will cover treatment and I think even obedience classes. This makes me really sad and I'm hoping someone can give him a chance. I have my own dog, so I know what I'm doing and would like him to have a playmate sometime. I would need to make sure they got along before fostering, though. Thanks.

[UC] Police training videos in Illinois
Here are some videos of multi-unit riot police trainings on Illinois college students this weekend. The sound weapons and gas have been practiced around the world. Giving these fusion centers some domestic practice, with college students from middle class families, is important training. The weapons need to be fine tuned and tactics practiced for use against teachers, students, and unions in each state. The college students can run faster. (there seem to be many more short clips available) The use of agent provocateurs seems to need more practice. They need to move the police back before their agents set a few trash cans on fire (start the riot), so its not so obvious. (Luckily, our local students come from good million dollar families, so I doubt they'll use the sound cannons east of 50th St.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TISVUy-P9M4 http://www.centralillinoisnewscenter.com/news/local/Riot-Breaks-Out-Near-Western-Illinois-University-121036644.html http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufKv-5t0t4Efeature=player_embedded#at=185 http://www.thecypresstimes.com/article/News/National_News/PARTY_NEAR_WESTERN_ILLINOIS_UNIVERSITY_RESULTS_IN_RESPONSE_FROM_RIOT_POLICE/44548 You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named UnivCity.

Re: [UC] Facts on the Clark Pk restoration
There has been a lot of hooraw on this list of late about Clark Park, which began with a recent post of misinformation on this listserve from a well-known source of nutty falsehoods. The latest round began with his report on chemical treatments involved in the rehabilitation of the North Park or A Park, between Baltimore and Chester Avenues. Questions about such subjects are completely justified, always. That's one of the things Friends of Clark Park looks into, whenever it gets community feedback on concerns that matter to this community. We want this job done -- but we want it done right. People who want the*real facts *on this process -- the restoration of our belovèd, but heavily damaged, North Park -- can swing by FoCP's table at the Spruce Hill May Fair this Saturday. The weather bids to be fair and you'll have a great time! So come to the park and meet your neighbors. They'll tell you everything you need to know. --Tony West
Re: [UC] unsubscribe UnivCity
Newcomers to University City who have inadvertently stumbled across this listserve, tricked by its name into thinking it somehow *represents the neighborhood of University City, *should be warned it is UNMODERATED. Therefore, there is no way of weeding out deranged and disruptive posts. UCNeighbors is a MODERATED neighborhood listserve. While everyone is permitted to post on it, deranged and disruptive posts are eventually screened out. That's the chief reason it has become more popular in our neighborhood than the purple list, in the past few years. No question, the talk is more sane there!

Re: [UC] unsubscribe UnivCity
You represented the UCNeighbors list on the UnivCity list so it seems appropriate to post your remarks here as well as there, Tony. It wouldn't hurt you to be honest and reply to Glenn's concerns as well as mine but you've refused to do so... You have ignored what you apparently could not answer and belittled the rest rather than debate honestly. My point about sales of park lands was a valid one and you must know that, if not you should check it out because you really ignored the facts in your emails. Whenever you are non-plussed you become abusive, disinterested, and haughty. Lots of good comments you ignored. Lists of concerns you represented as a single and inconsequential voice of unwarranted dissent. The uncensored UnivCity list here has a long history of your officious behavior for any one to peruse. When the segregated list first started out still under the University of Pennsylvania auspices, (as UnivCity still is) it was made to leave because it violated democratic precepts that the University had committed to. Asking you for fair treatment certainly hasn't changed things much. Feel free to change that any time treatment you want, but please no more calling others names (deranged, disruptive, source of nutty falsehoods, 'nefarious conspiracy theory', 'Trump-talk', etc.) and then saying it was all your opponent's fault because they abused the list. It's time to communicte. Enough Monty Python division crap for crap craziness! When they did it it was funny. This is not. Shake hands and come out talking!

Re: [UC] unsubscribe UnivCity
P.S. I may be wrong but as I had read the rules for unsubscribing, you and some others did not actually do so... again, maybe I'm wrong and it may not be all that significant a point... but unsubscribe should be in the body and the email addressed to majordomo. Please let me know if I am correct, or not, about this. Thank You. You represented the UCNeighbors list on the UnivCity list so it seems appropriate to post your remarks here as well as there, Tony.
