[UC] 46th Walnut police action
Anyone know what happened at 46th Walnut to necessitate about 20 patrol vehicles converging on the house just north of the Super7 about 1/2 hour ago? Whatever happened is still going on as of 8:28pm, the chopper is flying overhead, spotlight on it looks like they are searching hard for someone.

Re: Spoofed by a UC Listserv member who doesn't play fair with the facts [was: [UC] Listserve Reform of the UC list]
It is exactly the behavior of Al and others who spew filth which forces me to only pay attention to the posts about muggings and the occasional sale of something somewhere in the hood. Aside from the .05% of real information on this list, all is deleted. It's been this way since I signed up, and for however long before then I'm sure. This is the symptom of our people in this country who just want to talk, talk, talk and increase the decibel level with each word, but say nothing of merit. It's what has turned me off from becoming a journalist since everyone wants to just make personal attacks, see their words paid attention to and not actually work together to make this a better neighborhood, city, country and hopefully a better world. You all who continue to attack, counter-attack and so on, should really grow up. This is not an elementary school playground (of course, this nation DOES only have an average of an 8th grade education, so maybe that's a stretch) it's supposed to have some semblance of maturity as I am led to believe that we all are adults. Maybe adults physically only, as I've seen mostly playground arguments here in my last 1.5 years of being a list subscriber. Please grow up. You know who you are. If that's not a viable option, please suck a tailpipe, hang yourself, borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something to rid the world of your evil f**king presence. * There. My hat is now in the ring. Feel free to post all sorts of your usual immaturity directed at me.

Re: [UC] Daytime Mugging
This is terribly unfortunate. It's good that no one was hurt. As for the remote control looking device, they were probably trying to dial into keyless locks on cars. There are only so many frequencies that can be used a few appliances (garage door openers, TV/VCR remotes, etc.) can have overlapping activation frequencies for keyless locks in cars. It's much friendlier that way, less obvious and safer for the crook, not that we care though.

Re: [UC] Photos from the orchestra in the park
The attempt at control of media recording the activities of the symphony is probably due also to the very stringent guidelines of the performers' union. Usually, only very official photos of the performers are allowed to be published. They must be doing just their job and nothing more. No nose picking, no looking at the audience, no talking, etc. they can lose their jobs for being photographed doing something other than playing or keeping up with their music between times when they have to play. Perhaps this was just an attempt at courtesy for the benefit of the musicians.

Re: [UC] shared bikes?
This wouldn't work in Philly unless there were such a flood of bikes that it became not profitable to steal bicycles. There are too many entrepreneurs in the city who would steal a bike or ten if they were available for that theft. Bike locks are only a means to stall a thief not prevent bike theft. I wish philly were a more friendly bike commuter city, but until gas reaches $7 a gallon, people are still going to drive as much as ever. Some day though, we'll all be forced to ride bikes. Philip On Thursday 19 July 2007 18:56, Isabel Lugo wrote: Recently I read an article in the New York Times about Velib, a bike-sharing program in Paris. People can rent bikes for a small fee, and they do not need to be left where they came from but can be left at any of a wide variety of stations throughout the city. Thus you can, for example, get on a bike for one's morning commute, leave it at a station near work, and then use a different bike to go home; you only pay for, say, the half-hour in the morning and the half-hour in the evening. (Actually, trips less than a half-hour are free; I'm not sure whether this is because the program is supported by tax dollars, or if they make enough money on people taking more than half an hour that they can afford this and still expect to make a profit.) This is different from most of the car-sharing companies which require you to bring the car back where you got it. The New York Times article (July 10) isn't accessible unless you have Times Select. The Velib web site (http://www.velib.paris.fr/comment_ca_marche/faq__1) does a decent job of explaining it, I think, although it's (surprise!) in French. (I'm actually a bit surprised there's no English translation, because if I remember correctly the NYT article said that they wanted to market it to tourists as well as locals.) Anyway, what I'm wondering is -- is there some obvious reason this wouldn't work in, say, Philadelphia? I'm always seeing people on bikes here. I'd sign up. I don't have a bike and don't want to deal with the hassle of having to keep it somewhere (small apartment), maintain it, etc., but often I find myself wishing I had one.

Re: [UC] Deer in Woodland Cemetary
Very unafraid, used to joggers, bikers, walkers, and cars. This is a problem, when it comes to deer. Deer are large, WILD animals. Yes, it's sad to see them be killed, but they are a potential hazard to the aforementioned joggers, bikers, walkers and cars. For the most part, they are harmless, but they can injure people and property. If there is to be some large, concerted effort to humanely remove the deer from the cemetery and relocate them, please don't dip into my tax dollars to do so. Operations like that can reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.

I have had two, possibly three incidents (not sure about the third yet) of mailed items being stolen from our entryway at Chez Cassidy. I'm one of Kyle's tenants and a neighbor had also mentioned not ever having received something they'd been waiting for. Hopefully, this is just a case of late mail, but so far there has been delivery confirmation of two of my items, both of which are missing. This is on the 200 block of 46th St, between Walnut Locust.

Re: [UC] Trees on 4500 Walnut Street
I'm not one for litigation so much, but there needs to be some recourse here. If there is writing or photos or even witnesses who saw the contractors sawing roots, they need to be brought to task and something needs to be made right. Those trees stood for decades without falling. 2 months of root suffocation wouldn't kill the tree, especially since the soil was quite moist for those months. That side of the block is ugly now and it's because of cutting corners. Cars were destroyed, people were put in danger, thousands of dollars in resources were spent, thousands of residents were inconvenienced.

Re: [UC] Why the Virginia Tech Shootings Happened
In the eyes of editors who need to sell advertising (the reason for the so called news in the first place) Iraqi lives are worth less than dead American service members. Dead American service members are worth less advertising dollars than the gold mine of dead students at Virginia Tech. This is probably the biggest reason I'm not going back into photojournalism professionally for a career. I refuse to have my photos put value on human life. No matter how much we cover the suffering in Baghdad, Fallujah, Jenin-Jenin, or any other location not in this country, those stories will still sell less advertising than events like the VT or Columbine, CO shootings. Part of it is the American psyche which is still a bit isolationist and xenophobe. If it doesn't affect us directly, it may be sad but we don't do anything about it. Maybe put a magnetic ribbon on our car to pay lip service to whatever cause is mentioned on the ribbon. It marginalizes our very existence and no matter what great import any photojournalist's images feature, the pathetic truth is that the news will still show what the market will sell. News is a commodity not a service. End of rant. Phil On Friday 20 April 2007 11:09, Mario Giorno wrote: Folks, This disparate level of coverage over Iraqis who die in the conflict/police action/insurgent war/civil war in Iraq versus the 32 murdered students at VT is a form of cultural and national dissonant communication. It part of the debate over the editorializing of all news coverage, where the editors of news papers and TV news departments must decide what events to cover and to what extent they should cover them over time. The VT murders along with the Columbine murders take precedence on U.S. new coverage, mostly because it's (1) An event occurring within the U.S., (2) it's a bleeding lead, which is just another way of saying that if enough human death or injury, the more interesting and relevant the story becomes to the general public and (3) it was performed by a purpetrator, a bad guy, who could be immediately or quickly identified and vilified. The past weeks death toll in Baghdad and its outskirts from either insurgent terrorist/Suni-on-Shia attacks do qualify as lead stories and have been prevelantly covered in print media and TV news sources. This news item certainly meets the second and third criteria mentioned above, but not the first and this is the problem. The approximate 150 deaths in Baghdad this week were poor, faceless Iraqi citizens who have no real, truly secular national news media. If an Iraq press or TV network of any journalistic standing actually put forward all of these deaths in a news story that got 24-hr a day coverage, then the U.S. news agencies could carry those stories through to the U.S. market more readily and actually put faces to these faceless Iraqis. However, Iraqi media is controlled by religious sectarian groups who don't report from a non-biased secular tradition of journalism. As far as U.S. media keeping these dead Iraqis on TV or in print constantly for a week or more would also require that people in the U.S. find these deaths as relevant to them in their daily lives as the kids at VT. The kids at VT mean something to people here in the U.S., they are us. The people dying in Iraq simply put aren't us and in a sense their lives don't count as much to Americans or their media outlets, even though they are probably losing their lives because of the actions of our government's invasion and current foreign policy in Iraq and the greater Middle East, and military presence there.

If Ross says that out at the 46th St EL stop, yes, he's going to have some local repercussion. Don't use this as another excuse to complain. Yes, it's politically incorrect. Ross is politically incorrect for the most part. When he posts to the list, I read what he has to say. When others post, I hit delete for the most part because so much trash is posted here. There are a few jewels though. We're all smart enough to know better than to think that Bender is intending on making real racist remarks.

Ross..as a word of advise..stay away from the phrase little negro boys. It is not PC and not funny to ..most..people..because most people are not very intellectual about what they view as racist remarks. There is a double standard. If Chris Rock says Negro it is funny..If Ross Bender says it..it will raise eyebrows.

Anybody driving to the Cassidy Opening tonight who could give me a lift? My Lexus Nexus is in the shop and my Beemer's totally snowed in and the little Negro boys refuse to shovel it out for less than minimum wage. Friggin capitalists. Also, I am TOTALLY furious at the Streets Department, what with all the taxes and kickbacks I pay to the corrupt Democrat city government -- I have repeatedly called 911 and they positively REFUSE to come and help me. Also called John Fenton over at UCD but they said he's upstairs with a client, whatever the hell that means. -- Ross Bender http://rossbender.org/abbraccioreading1.html
