If those policies don’t meet a new, higher bar of quality coverage, then the government will no longer allow insurance companies to sell them. Instead, the 5 percent of Americans who rely on the individual insurance market for their coverage will have other options, all that provide better quality coverage and many of which are far less expensive. Plus, at least half of folks on the individual market will be eligible for subsidies that further bring costs down.

Individual policy holders are the first target, but the rest of the middle class will follow. And another lie is coming from the democrats, that these cancellations are like the substandard policies Obamacare is peddling to the poor. My outrageously expensive policy, being canceled, was for 100% coverage. When the great health reform charade was first taking place, we were also all dropped and given $5000 deductibles in the new product. Canceling these insurance products every year or two seems to have multiple purposes for Wall St., and will obviously be a central way of dumping the newly sick on the government after the sick are made bankrupt. The crappy products some working poor will get through massive government subsidies to the criminal insurance industry will not help them access medical care nor will it keep most of them, or any of them with serious new illnesses, from going bankrupt. For many, these barriers and catastrophes will be even more likely, as more of their income is directed to premiums and deductibles. The Obamacare supporters pretend not to understand the barriers that a $5000-10,000 deductible means, after you send your last few dollars to a health insurance company. Wall St. is trying to divide individual policy holders against the poor by thrusting millions of us into precarious situations. Instead of seeing the entire Obamacare sham as a windfall for Wall St. that does not help the poor as their deceptions pretend, we are supposed to get angry at this fake socialism that is being used against us. Millions of people are either being forced to absorb tremendous premium increases and deductible increases, or they will be forced to take the crappy Obamacare type insurance that will put them at increased risk for bankruptcy! (It's simple math to look at common medical bills and calculate your 40%, 30% or 10% share after satisfying your deductible, prescription drugs and out of network expenses). What these two political parties are doing for Wall St. is to change all health insurance into various levels of crappy catastrophe insurance that will eventually leave at least 50-75% of the American people at risk for medical bankruptcy and poor access to medical care while taking more profits from our meager incomes. Medicare, medicaid, social security, and all social supports will then be attacked, and those of us already attacked, are to stay silent and blame the poor for our new insecurities! Divide and conquer! Wall St. and their Democrat/Republican servants are experts at manufacturing crises and pitting the middle class against the poor. All through this charade, the Obamacare astroturf groups pretended that the TEMPORARY consumer protections would stop profitable abuses by their corporate masters. IT'S NOT REDUCED PROFITS THAT ARE PAYING FOR THE ELIMINATION OF PRE-EXISTING CONDITION REFUSALS, ETC. It's skyrocketing premiums and deductibles from millions of people.

[UC] The Grove at Cira Centre South
More info, with financing, on the planned student housing high rise by the old Main Post Office. Too bad they couldn't shoehorn it on 40th Pine at maybe 80 storeys? Ciao, Craig ___ Feb. 6, 2013 TODAY’S DEALS: Brandywine, Campus Crest and HSRE Partner on $158.5M Project Philadelphia—University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University students will have a new option for housing come the 2014/2015 academic year thanks to a joint venture development between Brandywine Realty Trust, Campus Crest Communities and Harrison Street Real Estate Capital. The project is a 33-story, 850-bed tower known as The Grove at Cira Centre South. It will rise in Brandywine’s Cira South development at 30th and Chestnut Streets on a site leased from the University of Pennsylvania. (http://www.multihousingnews.com/news/todays-deals-brandywine-campus-crest-and-hsre-partner-on-158-5m-project/1004073503.html/attachment/the-grove-at-c ira-center-south) The Grove at Cira Centre South The project will have a total cost of $158.5 million and will be financed by a $97.8 million loan provided by PNC Bank (as administrative agent) and Capital One (as syndication agent). Brandywine and Campus Crest will each own 30 percent of the joint venture, while HSRE will own 40 percent. As part of the agreement Campus Crest will act as property manager. “We look forward to further expanding our successful Cira Centre development and shaping the Philadelphia skyline with our new partners,” says Gerard H. Sweeney, president and chief executive officer of Brandywine. “We recognized the strong demand for graduate and undergraduate student housing in University City and selected Campus Crest for its proven operating platform and track record of success. Additionally, Harrison Street’s astute investment experience and national market perspective further ensures excellent execution and a successful investment result.” (http://www.multihousingnews.com/news/todays-deals-brandywine-campus-crest-and-hsre-partner-on-158-5m-project/1004073503.html/attachment/the-grove-at-c ira-center-south-map) The Grove at Cira Centre South (Source: Google Maps) Construction has already begun on the tower, which in typical Campus Crest fashion, will host a set of luxury amenities similar to that of a hotel. There will be a roof top swimming pool, media lounge and 24-hour fitness center. Students will also have access to coffee service, a library technology center and first floor retail. The tower was designed by architect Erdy McHenry in consultation with Cira master plan architect Cesar Pelli. The project is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification. “Brandywine is an established real estate owner, operator and developer with a rich history of success, and we are proud they selected us as a partner for this very prestigious project in the dynamic University City submarket of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The transaction also gives us an entry into a more urban product while managing our risk,” says Ted W. Rollins, chief executive officer of Campus Crest.

[UC] Zoning variances threaten character of Powelton Village
What did Mayor Street once say about who was in charge? Certainly not honest professionals with integrity and dedication to the public good, during the Nutter Administration! It's hard to fathom the legal logic that informed the Dec. 14 decision granting the developer, University Realty, a stunning package of seven variances. Drexel submitted a letter urging the board to reject the project. One of Mayor Nutter's pledges after his first election was to professionalize the ZBA to ensure that its rulings are rooted in law. Many applicants assume they have a right to variances from the zoning code. They do not. The law demands that they show hardship to alter the legal zoning. Yet there appears to be no evidence that University Realty proved it had any such burden in Powelton.

This not good for us west of the Schulkyl. I posted this comment earlier on Facebook. You are welcome to pass it on to ucneighbors.

Whether it reflects changing demographics or it sets in stone a new demographic remains to be seen. A community without schools is not a welcoming community for families. While I have been admonished in the past to never give the priest a hard time, I am stunned by the Archbishop's announcement ...as well as his decision to sell-off the Cardinal's Residence. One thing poor people need to remember is more quiet fortunes were made in this country through the ownership and control of real estate. You find adaptive reuse for such parcels so that they generate a continuing cash flow.

For instance, VOCs and nitrogen oxides from natural gas operations mix to produce ground-level ozone, which causes a variety of respiratory problems including asthma. The emission of hazardous air pollutants is linked to elevated levels of cancer and neurological health issues. I support the DEP’s decision to regulate the Barto Compressor Station under a Title V permit due to the Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule, requiring specific technologies to reduce air emissions. While these technologies decrease pollution, the DEP should require even more efficient equipment, including commercially available Best Control Technologies and Best Management Practices, that would bring emissions closer to zero (the ideal target). Please see the extensive lists and presentations about recommended technologies and practices on the EPA’s website for some specific ideas (http://www.epa.gov/gasstar/tools/recommended.html).

Suburbs (Washington, D.C., March 14, 2011) A new study on the effects of urbanization on wildlife that tracked the early lives of gray catbirds in three Washington, D.C. suburbs found that outdoor cats were the number one source of known predation on the young birds. The_ study_ (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/scbi/migratorybirds/science_article/pdfs/55.pdf) (http://nationalzoo.si.edu/scbi/migratorybirds/science_article/pdfs/55.pdf) by Dr. Peter Marra and Dr. Thomas Ryder of The Smithsonian Institution and Ms. Anne L. Balogh of Towson University, published in the January 2011 edition of the Journal of Ornithology, specifically found that almost 80 percent of the catbird mortality in the study was from predation and that cats were the source of almost half of the known predation. “While this study was not national in scope in any regard, it certainly adds more validation to what we have been saying for years; that outdoor cats are a highly destructive predatory force that is causing havoc in the world of native wildlife. This peer-reviewed study was co-sponsored by one of the most respected scientific organizations in the country – The Smithsonian Institution. I hope we can now stop minimizing and trivializing the impacts that outdoor cats have on the environment, and start addressing the serious problem of cat predation,” said Darin Schroeder, Vice President for Conservation Advocacy for American Bird Conservancy (ABC), the nation’s leading bird conservation organization. “Up to 500 million birds or more are killed by outdoor cats in the United States. We need to get serious about halting the damage that cats are causing to birds and other wildlife species,” Schroeder said. A key to the study was very small radio transmitters that were affixed to sixty-nine newly hatched gray catbirds in three Washington, DC suburbs – Bethesda, Spring Park, and Opal Daniels. The transmitters recorded the birds’ locations every other day until they died or left the study area. Of the 42 birds that died during the study, 33 suffered from predation. Nineteen of the predations were known and of that total, nine were killed by cats. According to the study, the most significant factor affecting a catbird fledgling’s survival was predation and not parental age, brood size, sex, or hatching date. The study revealed that the vast majority of young catbird deaths occurred in the first week after a bird fledged from the nest. Because fledglings beg loudly for food and are not yet alert to predators, they are easy prey for domestic cats. ABC has been a leader in seeking solutions to the issue of cat predation on birds and has published a variety of materials on the subject that outline approaches to mitigating the problems associated with cat predation. Those materials can be found at _http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/cats/materials.html_ (http://www.abcbirds.org/abcprograms/policy/cats/materials.html) American Bird Conservancy (_www.abcbirds.org_ (http://www.abcbirds.org/) ) conserves native birds and their habitats throughout the Americas by safeguarding the rarest species, conserving and restoring habitats, and reducing threats while building capacity of the bird conservation movement.

Re: [UC] The case for city zoning reforms
that we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good -- it may have yielded rather positive results in this very thorny area. I'm not happy with the way they engaged in selective engagement. It was deficient at best, fraudulent at worst. For example the greater body of SW Philly had to travel to West or S Philly for meetings. Of course SW is where there is significant vacant developable land and multi-billion dollar revenue generators driving airport related expansion and discussion of a new zoning class airport related. Where is the effected community's input? There is much to be concerned about; I will try to cite references later from the East Falls community planning group. Some real problems regard lowering or eliminating mandatory parking. Example, Community Living Arrangements (CLAs) set in traditional single family dwellings are invading many areas of the city but there may no longer be minimum parking requirements for the multiple staff cars and their vans that may be parked on the streets. Bed and breakfasts with an occupancy of eight or less may no longer be subject to neighbor approval. This may be an easy entree for boarding houses to slip into many neighborhoods, and there are more. The rewriting of our zoning regs may in fact be little more than the Developers' Zoning Streamlining and Nutter Real Estate Tax Enhancement Act.

The proposed new Philadelphia zoning code answers that question by honoring the expertise of neighborhood leaders, and it should be supported by citizens who value that expertise. At the beginning of this year, neighborhood leaders, developers, architects, and lawyers gathered for a series of workshops on the new code called Common Ground for Building Our City: Developers, the Public and the Zoning Code. The project was led by the Philadelphia chapter of the American Institute of Architects, the Penn Project for Civic Engagement, and WHYY. The conversations were not easy. Participants struggled to get past stereotypes: Architects and developers were seen as arrogant and paying only lip service to community input; neighborhood groups were accused of engaging in backroom deals and borderline extortion. And some architects, developers, and community groups have engaged in those behaviors under the existing zoning code. But the workshop participants overcame those stereotypes and found common ground. They agreed on ways to ensure that new buildings are good for the city, neighborhoods, and developers. We sent a report to the Zoning Code Commission in February, and the essence of those agreed-upon principles is in the new code, which is expected to be presented to City Council soon. The new code would take several steps to incorporate neighborhood expertise into the zoning process: Notification of coming projects would be more thorough. Significant projects would require Planning Commission approval. Applicants would be required to meet with the community, and both sides will submit minutes for the record. A Civic Design Review Committee would advise the Planning Commission on significant projects. It would include someone with neighborhood zoning experience and a rotating seat for a member of the relevant neighborhood group. Under the new code and map, zones would more closely match actual uses. This would correct cases such as that of Northern Liberties, which is largely zoned industrial even though it has become one of the city's hottest residential areas. The new code would define buildings that significantly affect the public because of size, location, or use. Those buildings would be reviewed even if they don't require a zoning variance. And, as outlined above, neighborhood input would be an important part of the

[UC] Memorial Day 2010 some staggering figures about our American heroes
_In Memoriam_ (http://www.michaelconnelly.viviti.com/entries/general/in-memoriam) As another Memorial Day approaches many Americans look on it as just another day off of work or school when they can sit around and barbecue hamburgers and drink soft drinks and beer. Yet, to those of us who are veterans know the true meaning of the holiday. Memorial Day was originally called Decoration Day and was established in 1868 to honor the memory of members of the American military who have died defending the United States of America. Its first official observance was on May 30, 1868 when flowers were placed on the graves of soldiers, both Union and Confederate who died in the Civil War. It was later expanded to include all of the Americans who died in the wars fought by this country to preserve our freedom and it became an official Federal Holiday in 1971. On this 2010 Memorial Day I want everyone to look at some staggering figures about our American heroes. Beginning with the American Revolution, a total of 43,362,376 men and women have served in the U.S. Military during all of the wars we have fought including the current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of these, 655,231 were killed in battle while another 540,254 have died during their service due to other causes. That is a total of 1,195,485 Americans who have died in wartime while wearing the uniform of our country. In addition, 1,468,196 have been wounded. There are currently approximately 24,000,000 military veterans still alive in our nation. So who were these people, who as someone pointed out, wrote a blank check to their country laying their lives on the line for poor pay and often deplorable living conditions. They were and still are, our fathers and mothers, sons and daughters, and friends and neighbors. They fought and they died at places that the history books often mention in passing, it they are mentioned at all. Places like Saratoga and Yorktown where our freedom was secured, and battlefields like Gettysburg and Fredericksburg, where many brave Americans died fighting each other. Then there are the battlefields of World War I like Belleau Wood where U.S. Marines fought valiantly and suffered heavy casualties to stop the German advance, and the fights during World War II on the beaches of Normandy and Iwo Jima that opened the door for American victories in Europe and the Pacific. The ink was barely dry on the Japanese surrender document when thousands of Americans were sent to battle the communists in the Korean War. Turn next to the Vietnam War where over 55,000 Americans died yet never lost a battle. However, though the actions of the politicians in Washington D.C. the war itself was ultimately lost and the history books blame it on the military. Yet, it was the Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, and Airmen who fought that war were often ignored or even spat upon when they returned home. It was not until recently that their contribution to the freedom of our nation was acknowledged. To them, I can only say “Welcome Home.” Well done my brothers and sisters in arms. Since then our valiant heroes have fought and died in Grenada, Panama, Operation Desert Storm and the current wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. However, liberal politicians and members of the left wing news media continue to attack them for doing the job of defending freedom. Our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq are subjected to Rules of Engagement by the current administration that severely limits their ability to protect themselves and our way of life. This is being done under the banner of “political correctness.” There is no such thing as a “politically correct” war. When the lives of Americans are threatened and our very existence hangs in the balance there is only one way to fight, and that is to win. Our men and women in our military know this, and despite the restrictions imposed upon them by politicians who have never served in the military and know nothing about the sacrifices required, our troops continue to do their duty to us and our nation. On this Memorial Day we must honor them and all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. They were and are the best of us. If we allow them to be forgotten then we inevitably lose our own identity as a free people and “the government of the people, by the people, for the people,” will indeed “perish from the earth.” I will ask this of each person who reads this. Enjoy your Memorial Day, but make a special effort to contact someone, whether a family member, a friend, or even a stranger, who you know has served in the military or is currently serving. Just tell them “Thank you for your service to our country”. You have no idea how much that will mean to them. Also take a moment to honor those we have lost, either by visiting the grave of a veteran, or just saying a brief prayer. They will

Call the police district in which the stop occurred: 1) Ask to set up an appointment to meet with the Captain to discuss the issue and to confirm the incident and time line as you have documented it; there should be a review of the officer's performance and data in the system. Hopefully, they will be cooperative. What you are looking to achieve is a review of the police records, which you will need for a later step. 2) If you are blown-off you may want to contact both the Commissioner and Internal Affairs, again seeking a review of the facts. 3) Ultimately, I believe you will need to call the City Solicitor's office to discuss how to make a claim for a refund, if in fact the live stop was bungled by the police. If the stop tow was good but the court was merciful you may not have a claim. There may be some other avenues open to you, such as was your driver a member of a minority or protected group? He may have a complaint to take before the Human Relations Commission for inappropriate profiling. You could always comp a good local attorney over dinner and hear what he/she suggests.

You can make the problem any color you want. Three Thursday's ago (03/04) I was in CC after the Gallery Riot. The Black kids were still being accorded great deference, almost recklessly. Black break dancing kids had shut down the entire sidewalk along the NE Corner 11th Market Sts. They actually set down traffic cones to secure their performance area. Early in the afternoon pedestrians could deal with it. Later in the afternoon criss-crossing pedestrian patterns were pushed into the street to compete with the cars. Bluntly, why would the street performers imagine they had a right to takeover the sidewalk. Why did the police not respond even after 2+ hours. And, the dancers were not particularly talented. When I was back in the area on the 9th it was like a mini police state, oh, and no dancers. Strangely there were police officers wearing Temple University uniforms. No, I did not ask what they were doing there, nor did a lot of the cops appear to be happy, even though it was a beautiful day.

We had an incident on the 3900 block of Market posted on the list last summer. No, they weren't over turning cars but you wouldn't want to meet up with them at the Bridge, as someone suggested they might be destined. With some regularity, groups of kids late at night get on SEPTA vehicles and behave very badly up to fighting, breaking windows, and scaring the hell out of drivers and passengers; but you have no knowledge because its not in the news and none of your people fell victim. I can assure you within the past several years SEPTA threatened to suspend stops at one major location in S Philly unless an institution stepped in to clean-up its bad boys and girls behavior. When you are not a tuff-guy or wise to the street, it is easy to liberally politicize very explosive and dangerous behaving-badly.

[UC] Meeting tonight 7:00 PM Thu 02/04/10 PPD SW Division
During the week of the Martin Luther King Day celebration, our Philadelphia Police Department initiated a series of community based meetings to introduce their new Police Service Area concept and to recruit neighborhood based input: _http://www.phillypolice.com/news/police-service-area-psa-week-is-here/_ (http://www.phillypolice.com/news/police-service-area-psa-week-is-here/) While the initial meetings were to be held with neighborhood based key leaders, it is possible in some districts the outreach was too selective. Thus, there will be a meeting tonight for residents who reside in one of the four Southwest Police Department districts --the 12th, 16th, 18th and 19th, at 7 p.m. at the 19th District, 61st and Thompson. This meeting is being held by new Southwest Division Inspector, Myron Patterson. Insp Patterson will introduce himself and talk about the new community policing initiatives. You may identify you PSA and it lead officer at: _http://www.phillypolice.com/districts_ (http://www.phillypolice.com/districts) Each PSA is lead by a Lieutenant and normally has a dedicated Sergeant for each shift. Patrol officers are assigned to a specific PSA so they may become familiar with the neighborhood, its businesses, residents, and the residents with the police. The original concept was developed in DC: On May 2, 2004, the Metropolitan Police Department implemented a major restructuring of its Police Service Areas (PSAs), a basic building block of community policing in the District of Columbia. The goal of the restructuring is to ensure better police services for DC neighborhoods by providing greater flexibility in neighborhood patrols and by aligning PSAs more closely with natural neighborhood boundaries. You are encouraged to attend tonight's meeting and to actively participate in regular meetings with your specific PSA command structure. Ciao, Craig

Ouch. Sorry, maybe I should have done some research first. __ For what? I was praising you for doing a good thing. Why can't American Patriots, also, be humanitarians? They are!

While cleaning up old correspondence, came across this email. (You still alive, Liz) There is a reason our Founding Fathers developed a bicameral form of government supported by a two party political system. They knew by studying the great books of knowledge such as the Bible that most men's human nature is to seek the path of least resistance even into a life of sloth. So, as long as the majority of voting Philadelphians are willing to support sloth and mediocrity branded Democratic Party Approved, this is what you will get. What a shame, for all of us. Craig
