Greenfield — The Common Council on Tuesday voted unanimously to rescind a pair of ordinances requiring stores that sell secondhand merchandise to make daily reports to the police on transactions and to pay fees to the city.
But an alderwoman who has been involved in discussions over the controversial ordinances says the Police Department has started work on replacement measures more palatable to businesses, which objected to the fees and other aspects of the measures.
"I think the city made a mistake in putting the ordinances out without enough input" from businesses, said Ald. Linda Lubotsky, chair of the council's Legislative Committee, before the meeting Tuesday.
At the meeting, Ald. Shirley Saryan apologized to the merchants in the audience for her vote last spring to adopt the ordinances without much consultation with businesses. And Mayor Michael Neitzke said the ordinances have "given the city a black eye, maybe deservedly so."
The ordinances were designed to support an online system where the stores would post their purchases and identify the people from whom they were purchased, in a database. The database helps police track stolen items after thieves or burglars sell them to secondhand stores and then catch the thieves.
Neitzke has said recoveries of stolen jewelry by police using the reporting system's data - and cooperation between merchants and police - have been impressive.
But merchants had complained that the fees and some of the reporting requirements would be burdensome, and some businesses said they'd close if the rules went into effect.
Lubotsky said Chuck Fletcher, the Greenfield police detective assigned to solve burglaries and an enthusiastic advocate of the online system, has met with business owners, and police have come up with changes palatable to most owners.
She said her Legislative Committee will begin discussion of the new proposal - with input from businesses - on Oct. 18.
Among proposed changes:
• The businesses wouldn't be charged fees.
• Retailers wouldn't be required to photograph sellers but could substitute fingerprints or high-quality video surveillance.
• The ordinance wouldn't apply to secondhand clothes or toys - and thus wouldn't affect a couple of the stores whose owners had objected.
Before the meeting, Joe Desch, district manager of the state's six Half Price Books stores, said he and his company weren't satisfied. Books would not be covered now, he said, but used CDs and DVDs would be.
"There are better, low-tech, cost-effective ways of doing this that would let us be custodians of the data," he said.
After the council voted to rescind, Desch and other merchants said they were pleased with the move.
But Stephanie Huff, general manager of The Exclusive Co. music store, said she was "happy for now. We'll see what happens on Oct. 18."
Though passed last spring, the original ordinances would have taken effect next summer, as would any replacement.
Some stores - among them Robert Haack Diamond Importers - have been voluntarily reporting the data. Haack owner Bret Eulberg told the council that it's important to adopt a replacement ordinance because the system helps solve crimes.

Understanding human behavior is fundamental to understanding how organizations function, whether they are profit-making firms, non-profit enterprises, or government agencies. Much disagreement among managers, scientists, policy makers, and citizens arises from substantial differences in the way we think about human nature -- about their strengths, frailties, intelligence, ignorance, honesty, selfishness, and generosity. In this paper we discuss five alternative models of human behavior that are commonly used (though usually implicitly). They are the Resourceful, Evaluative, Maximizing Model (REMM), Economic (or Money Maximizing) Model, Psychological (or Hierarchy of Needs) Model, Sociological (or Social Victim) Model, and the Political (or Perfect Agent) Model. We argue that REMM best describes the systematically rational part of human behavior. It serves as the foundation for the agency model of financial, organizational, and governance structure of firms.
The growing body of social science research on human behavior has a common message: Whether they are politicians, managers, academics, professionals, philanthropists, or factory workers, individuals are resourceful, evaluative maximizers. They respond creatively to the opportunities the environment presents, and they work to loosen constraints that prevent them from doing what they wish. They care about not only money, but about almost everything -- respect, honor, power, love, and the welfare of others. The challenge for our society, and for all organizations in it, is to establish rules of the game that tap and direct human energy in ways that increase rather than reduce the effective use of our scarce resources.

My Fantasy Football Season from Hell - What did I do to deserve this?!
by Radio Joe
posted Oct 8 2013 3:02PM
What did I do to deserve this?!
Sorry to break it to you guys…Fantasy Football is pure luck. For me, I've been the most unlucky GM this season, and we're only five weeks in.
When Steve 'Sparky' Fifer made an ultimatum on the air at the end of the August, I knew I was destined to fail. Sparky made two things clear:
1. You, Joe Zenzola, need to have a better record and higher point total than Leigh McNabb from KISS FM in the Tony Kamps league, or you will be kicked out of the WSSP League next season.
2. Whoever finishes dead last in the WSSP League this season, they will be relegated to the Kamps League for next year.
So far…I'm failing in both.
In the WSSP League, I'm 1-4. I notched my first victory on Monday by defeating Leroy Butler and Ryan Road's team (special thanks to 18 points from Justin Tucker and 22 points from the Niners D). Outside of that, most of my players have been an utter disappointment.
In the Tony Kamps Minor League, which I regret joining to this very day, I'm 1-4 as well. My team is stacked in that league, and yet, there's not enough production. I continue to get lackluster performances from Doug Martin and Darren Sproles. I consider both to be overrated now.
Before I get to the worse possible news, let me document how awful this season has been starting from Week 1. I will also share you my current rosters for both teams.
Week 1
Kamps League: vs. Leigh McNabb
· Peyton Manning has the game of his career. He gets Leigh 64.3 points.
· Jared Cook blows up for 31.1 points against me (hasn't done anything since).
· Also, solid games from DeMarco Murray, Vernon Davis, and Julio Jones. They all play well against my squad.
· I put up 175 points against Leigh, and I still lose to her.
Final Score:
Me 175.5, Leigh 208.6
· Leigh McNabb is 5-0 in the Kamps League.
WSSP League: vs. Josh Vernier
· Yes, he had Peyton Manning, too.
· He also had Adrian Peterson. AP pulled in 29.1 points in Week 1
· Those two alone were more than enough to beat me Week 1.
Final Score: Me 98.86, Vernier 134.08
· Josh Vernier is 5-0 in the WSSP League – he's unstoppable.
Week 2
Kamps League: vs. Brian Sorgi
· Arian Foster, Tavon Austin, and Jordan Cameron all blow up late in the game to give Sorgi's team a big advantage.
· I have solid performances from RG3 and Jordy Nelson.
· Martellus Bennett blows up, but I fail to start him.
· Going into Monday night, I was still leading. Sorgi needs 10.1 points to beat me.
· A.J. Green for Sorgi puts up 10.1.
Final Score: Me 122.5, Sorgi 122.6
WSSP League: vs. Chuck, Wickett, and Zach
· Michael Vick blows up, throws for over 400 yards. Are you kidding me?! He practically carried their team that week.
· Matt Ryan and Julio Jones continue to be my top playmakers. Roddy White, however, has been a bust.
· Again, I have a slight lead over the morning show going into Monday Night Football.
· They have the Bengals D – Big Ben throws an INT late in the game. That gives the morning show the lead.
· I lose again.
Final Score: Me 85.66, CWZ 87.22
I could easily be 1-1 in both leagues; instead, I'm 0-2, and I'm getting paranoid.
I make a trade with Sparky in the WSSP League.
I get Trent Richardson and Vincent Jackson, in exchange for Matt Ryan and Roddy White. Hopefully, that will help, right? Nope.
Week 3
Kamps League: vs. Tony Kamps
· Adrian Peterson and Matt Stafford combine for 47 point for T-Kamps' team.
· I get a lot of consistency this week from my guys, except for these people.
o Phil Dawson – 1 point
o Texans D – 4 points
o Tony Gonzalez – 6.4 points
o Martellus Bennett (who had such an great game last week) – 3 points
Final Score: Me 99.5, Kamps 126.7
WSSP League: vs. Howie Magner
· Howie gets blow up performances from DeMarco Murray (26.3 points) and Antonio Freaking Brown (31.6 points).
· Trent Richardson plays decent for me – 9.5 points.
· V-Jax sucks Week 3 – 3.4 points
· Eli Manning takes Matt Ryan's place at QB. Eli, despite throwing a lot of INTs the first two weeks, was still averaging 23 points per game.
o Eli gets me 5.16 points vs. Howie…Thanks, Eli.
Final Score: Me 64.26, Howie 123.70
Week 4
Kamps League: vs. Zach Klupchak
· Finally, I have some players that blow up for me.
o Tony Gonzalez – 38.9 points
o Darren Sproles – 31.2 points
o Demaryius Thomas – 29.6 points
· It was a neck and neck finish, but I got even with Zach, after he beat me in the WSSP League back in Week 2.
Final Score: Me 167.8, Zach 165.6
· I'm 1-3 Yay!
WSSP League: vs. Matt Regashus
· Colin Kaepernick, who I cannot stand, puts up 13.78 points. Before that, he struggled the previous two weeks.
· Ragu also had Vernon Davis (7.8 points) and Anquan Boldin (15 points), and Phil Dawson (5 points).
· All of this production came on Thursday Night Football, so going into Sunday, I still had a great chance of beating Matt.
· Greg Jennings, who hasn't done a damn thing all season, picks Week 4 to blow up against me. He rakes in 21.2 points. Demaryius Thomas also picks up 20 points for Matt.
· On the flipside, I had a bunch of busts.
o V-Jax – 2.7 points
o Eli Manning – 8.88 points
o Owen Daniels (who was suppose to be this big TD machine) – 7.2 points
o And Ray Freaking Rice…My first round selection has flat out sucked this year. He gets me 1.7 points in Week 4.
· I lose hands down.
Final Score: Me 76.68, Ragu 112.78
Now, I'm 0-4 in the WSSP League, 1-3 in the Kamps League. It was time to make more trades…
With Terrelle Pryor on my bench, it was time to remove Eli Manning. I wanted to compliment Pryor with his number one WR – Denarius Moore.
I traded the struggling and unhealthy Vincent Jackson to Matt Barlow's team for Denarius Moore.
Then, with all of my anger set on Ray Rice, I ship him to Matt Regashus for Anquan Boldin.
That second trade would prove to be a big mistake.
Furthermore, I had two offers on the table from Howie Magner. He wanted Julio Jones from me.
He offered DeMarco Murray and Marlon Brown, or Knowshon Moreno and Steve Smith.
I turned down both deals. I would soon regret that decision as well…
Week 5
Kamps League: vs. Samantha Winkler and Andy Borgealt
· They have the Seahawks D and Justin Tucker. Those two alone combine for 29 points.
· Great production from Vincent Brown (19.7 points) and Antonio Gates (14.4 points). Those two killed me as well.
· On my side of things, RG3, Alfred Morris, and Doug Martin all had byes.
· I benched the Texans D last week – They pulled in 13 points. This week I start them, and they get me 3 points.
· I also started Alex Smith at QB…He got me 8.8 points.
· Peyton Manning has another freakish game against Dallas, and Demaryius Thomas sees no piece of the action. He gets me only 10.7 points.
· I fall to 1-4.
Final Score: Me 114.5 Team WB 136.8
WSSP League: vs. Leroy and Ryan
· As I mentioned earlier, the Niners D and Justin Tucker were crucial to my first victory.
· However, Ray Rice, who I dealt to Regashus, blows up. He rushes for 74 yards, along with 2 TDs. I'M FURIOUS! Anquan Boldin, on the other hand, rakes in 2.1 points….I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!
Final Score: Me 94.64 Leroy and Ryan 87.18
And now for the biggest news…
I'm ready to lose my mind. This is the type of season that I've been dealing with. At times, I just want to pull my hair out. For everything that's transpired the last five weeks, how can it get any worse? I'm due for some good luck, right?
Perhaps I'm snake-bitten.
Yes, I should blame my fantasy football season on the Brewers…or not.
Whatever, it's just a game, I guess.
Nonetheless, I deserve a second chance to stay in the WSSP League. I expect to get some sympathy from my opponents. Seriously, are there are people like me out there with the same bad luck?
Here are my two rosters as of today:
Kamps League, 10-team PPR: This is a great team, right? How can I be 1-4?
RB: Doug Martin
RB: Alfred Morris
WR: Demaryius Thomas
WR: Jordy Nelson
WR: Danny Amendola
TE: Tony Gonzalez
Flex: RB Darren Sproles
D: Houston
Kicker: Nick Novak
· RB Fred Jackson
· RB Ben Tate
· WR Mike Williams
· WR Donnie Avery
· TE Jared Cook
· TE Martellus Bennett
· QB Alex Smith
WSSP League: 14-team Standard:
QB: Terrelle Pryor
RB: DeAngelo Williams
RB: Trent Richardson
WR: Anquan Boldin
WR: Denarius Moore
TE: Empty
Flex: WR Mike Williams
D: 49ers
Kicker: Justin Tucker
· WR Julian Edelman
· QB Eli Manning
· RB Kendall Hunter
· RB Roy Helu Jr.
· TE Jermaine Gresham
Injured: WR Julio Jones, TE Owen Daniels…
In both leagues, I'm 1-4. That's 2-8 overall. I still believe I can get on hot streak in the Kamps League. Am I running out of time, though?
I expect to go 1-12 in the WSSP League…not good. At least I won a game!

Pacific Symphony tries cabaret in concert hall
A number of problems presented themselves Thursday night in Segerstrom Concert Hall when the Pacific Symphony offered the latest in its innovative "Music Unwound" series. They were mostly problems of scale. The program was dubbed "Come to the Cabaret" and it featured the music of Kurt Weill and George Gershwin and songs made famous by Édith Piaf. A mock cabaret, complete with plush red couches, a piano player and sketch artist (but no cigarette smoke), greeted listeners unfamiliar with the concept in the lobby, presumably setting a mood.
This is music designed for smaller venues than our concert auditorium – cabarets, nightclubs, music halls – though it wasn't invariably performed in them. This music has a grittiness, charm and irony that come across best in intimate rooms. (Virgil Thomson once said that Piaf's art was of the "urban proletariat.") These essential characteristics of the music are all but lost in large, formal, reverberant and distancing spaces such as Segerstrom Concert Hall.
The lively and stylish German chanteuse Ute Lemper was on hand to headline the bill. Lemper has made a name for herself singing this music and she's terrific at it. Her performances of the music of Weill are particularly celebrated. Her recording of "The Seven Deadly Sins" is a knockout.
The concert began with this last collaboration of Weill and Bertolt Brecht (1933), a ballet chanté (sung ballet) featuring a singer and a dancer and the requisite dollops of sloth, pride, wrath, gluttony, lust, greed and envy, all in 35 minutes of immoral fun. Anna I (singer) and Anna II (dancer), two but one in the same, leave Louisiana to seek employment so that they can provide a home for their stuffed-shirted bourgeois family, played by a barbershop quartet. The Annas find one of the deadly sins in each of the U.S. cities they visit (including Los Angeles), and more or less succumb. But they do get the home for their family. It is all very acid and droll, and Weill's music is nothing less than inspired.
Lemper used a microphone and there the problems began. The hall was designed for unamplified performance and hasn't shown itself to be friendly to amplified voices. Lemper's voice emerged boomy and blurry (she might have been singing in Urdu), her phrasing a jumble and pitches approximate. She didn't appear to be in good voice (there was a considerable wobble, at times) but it was hard to tell.
The performance dispensed with the (silent) dancer, so Lemper provided some odd little movements of her own. The Hudson Shad quartet (the family) sang capably, but was also hampered by unattractive amplification. Carl St.Clair led the orchestra in a soft-edged account of the biting score; perhaps there were a few too many strings and the banjo was all but inaudible. At any rate, the whole thing never quite gelled. It all might have gone better in the 500-seat Samueli Theater next door.
After intermission, St.Clair revived Gershwin's "American in Paris" in a reading that seemed to swing for the fences, ramping up for the cinematic climaxes. It was sumptuous and broad, but could have been a little lighter on its toes. Trumpeter Barry Perkins and clarinetist Benjamin Lulich were especially fine in solos.
Then Lemper returned with a lavish arrangement of Gershwin's "I Got Rhythm" coupled with "Naughty Baby" and four songs that Piaf had made her own. These were "Padam Padam," "Ne me quittte pas" (Jacques Brel), "L'accordéoniste" and, inevitably, "La vie en rose."
Piaf, of course, is inimitable. Two of the things that made her great were the precision of her phrasing (listen to her sometime) and the clarity and effortlessness of her diction. Lemper did not seem to attempt a direct mimicry of Piaf, but at any rate the incomprehensible emissions from her microphone and the bloated orchestral arrangements made the point moot. Only the quiet and sparely scored Brel number came close to satisfying, with its intimate and desperate sadness.

My Obsession has a Hero

Sam Taylor-Wood and Aaron Johnson are the proud parents of a second daughter between them and her fourth overall. That's a LOT of shoes.
Her name is Romy Hero. I kinda love it. Almost as much as I love her older sister's name Wylda Rae.
So now they're raising 4 girls together. She's 44. And he's still 21. If they don't get pregnant again, the next project is a wedding. Before or after promotion for Anna Karenina and Savages? Imagine them on the award show circuit next year? Omg. I can't get enough.
Why can't JLo find herself an Aaron Johnson?

Eastern Utah Community Credit Union and the 100 Percent For Kids Foundation have jointly donated more than $5,000 to Emery High School for financial calculators. Both sponsors are excited to have this opportunity to contribute to the education of students in our area.
100 Percent For Kids foundation that is funded by credit unions and credit union members that value education. The foundation was formed in late 2002, and has funded more than $4.4 million in 635 schools throughout Utah.
Credit Unions have traditionally strived to serve communities through financial service: however, Eastern Utah Community Credit Union believes that there is no better way to contribute to communities than providing educational assistance to our students.
Josh White, an Emery High School teacher, applied for a grant from 100 Percent For Kids to provide the school with graphing calculators. 100 Percent For Kids awarded White with money to purchase approximately 25 calculators. Eastern Utah Community Credit Union matched the grant so that Emery High could double the amount of calculators purchased. White hopes that the calculators will not only improve test scores in the classroom, but also on college entrance exams.
Due to the high cost of purchasing a graphing calculator, Emery High School plans to create a rental program where the students are able to pay a minimal amount to rent the calculator for a year. This rental fee, in turn, will provide the means to purchase additional calculators in future years.

Christie: Climate change is real
By MAGGIE HABERMAN | 8/19/11 9:57 PM EDT
Chris Christie made clear he falls in the Jon Huntsman camp as opposed to the Rick Perry camp on the scientific-political issue of the week in the Republican primary:
In vetoing a bill (S2946) that would have required New Jersey to stay in a regional program intended to curb greenhouse gases a program Christie plans to leave by the end of the year the governor said "climate change is real."
He added that "human activity plays a role in these changes" and that climate change is "impacting our state."
Christie's come full circle on the issue. Last year, he told a town hall audience in Toms River he was skeptical climate change is the result of human activity. He backed off those comments at a conference of environmentalists in May and agreed to meet with climate scientists for a lesson in global warming.
(Excerpt) Read more at politico.com ...
I long ago abandoned any hope of Chris Christie being a conservative that I could support in the 2012 presidential election. This kind of nonsense is one reason why. It's too bad Ann Coulter decided to support a RINO that has zero chance of winning the Republican presidential nomination.
Another RINO bites the dust. Globull warming and thinking muzzies are great. Two good reason for Christie to stay in New Jersey.
Chrisitie is nothing but a loud mouth, fat fraud. The guy talks a good game when it comes to unions but that's it. Furthermore, when he does attack union representatives it's usually some wimpy guy representing the teacher's union or a female teacher. I've never seen him get in the face of a true union thug. He is a bully by all accounts.
Climate Change IS real. 16,000 Years ago, New Jersey was covered by a mile DEEP Glacier.
It melted. Not man's fault. Period.
When that Glacier decides it wants to come back, are we going to pay people to release CO2 to save New Jersey from being scraped off the map?
Take the fork out of your mouth, Christie and stick it in yourself. You are done.
There have been times in human history, and way way before it, of dramatically different global climate.
There are three real questions.
Is it going up or down?
How much does human activity influence it?
And is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Now when I was very young they were saying it was cooling and it was going to be disastrous and man was most certainly to blame - capitalism especially.
Now they are saying it is warming and it is going to be disastrous and man was most certainly to blame - capitalism especially.
The Medieval warm period seemed to be good times and good wines for all involved - are they growing grapes in England again yet - or is it not yet that warm?
Note from info below that Chris Christie not only believes in global warming (aka AGW / anthropogenic global warming), he stands strongly for government control of our society so as to reduce greenhouse emissions.
From: http://climatecrocks.com/2011/05/27/gop-gov-chris-christie-i-am-running-for-president-in-2016-we-have-an-obligation-to-reduce-our-greenhouse-gas-emissions/
GOP Gov. Chris Christie: We have an obligation to reduce our Greenhouse Gas emissions.
May 27, 2011
Excerpts from url above
Surveying the reality-free Tea Party freak show that is the current republican presidential field, Christie has opted out. And he has fired the first shot of his 2016 campaign by committing himself to a program of free-market incentives for combatting climate change, reducing greenhouse emissions, and accelerating New Jerseys development of renewable energy and conservation.
..Our commitment continues to combatting climate change, and looking for new, clean, and cleaner energy sources..
..were committed to putting in place policies that actively work to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, and achieve the 22.5 percent Renewable Portfolio Standard target by 2021..
The cleanest energy is the energy that you dont use the state has to lead in terms of conservation, and so were going to lead by example on energy efficiency.
we remain completely committed to the idea that we have a responsibility as a state to make the environment of our state, and the world, better..
we have an obligation to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
(End of excerpts)
If you are having a hard time believing Chris Christie would believe in global warming and government control of cities and individuals to reduce greenhouse emissions, see the two videos posted at the link on this post. You'll be sickened.
Which, come to think of it, is probably a good thing for America. Christie might be good on the fiscal issues but I have a feeling he'd nominate nothing but Left-Wing Hacks for Judgeships.
Next RINO please....
real simple litmus test... How do you feel on the global warming scam?
Owning a weapon?
those three things tell you if they believe in life, liberty and the constitution or are quisling, cowardly traitors.
. . .and no signs of enlightenment per his convictions.
. . .and no signs of enlightenment per his convictions.
Bye bye Chris. I really liked your attitude but now you've screwed up big time.
Oh come now, you know it was George Bush and his time/weather machine that started all this 10,000 years ago.........
He's toast. Absolutely unelectable.
Anyone who jumps on a bandwagon when the wheels have clearly fallen off the bandwagon is politically tone deaf.
If he's thinking of running for President, he should stop now.
Here's a May 2011 article on New Jersey's support of and participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI):
(Excerpt / Intro):
NEW YORK (May 26, 2011) New Jersey residents solidly support the states participation in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a program that generates jobs, revenue and investment in their clean energy economy, according to new Public Policy Polling (PPP) survey results released today by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC).
(End of excerpt)
Economy Change is real too. And the economy will get much colder when the "green scientists" have their way. The devastation will be much worse than anything envisioned by Al Gore. (Well maybe not, Al can envision alot.)
Yes, there's spring, summer, fall and winter!
Its not good for me to hate people and get all emotional but Christie is showing us his liberal side.
He was the more liberal candidate in the primary for Governor in 2009. Steve Lonergan was the conservative.
Still, I will admit that Christie was willing to take on the pay scales in education asking for a teacher pay freeze and capping the salaries of school administration.
That was good.
He's made his appearances at pro-life events as well to say he's pro-life.
That's OK.
But in other areas he is the RINO.
The issue is: Can humans cause it? Can humans make it better? Or worse?
This gets lost in the noise.
We should be asking these candidates what if anything they are going to do about "climate change". Then vote for the ones who say "I will do nothing".
Climate change IS real.
Yesterday it was raining and today it's sunny.
Soon it will get cold and later, it will get warm again.
We, out here in The Ignorant Wasteland call these remarkable phenomenon "The Weather" and "The Seasons".
"Humans can change climate on at least a local scale,. . "
That I can accept, and thank you for your post.
I would tell Christie that he can believe in all the phony scientific studies he wants, just don't spend a dime of my money on cap and trade and more EPA regulations. You can believe what you want; just don't use my money for your naive and unfounded belief systems.
What is not often discussed is that this global warming mania has resulted in more diplomas awarded in environmentalism than in physics and chemistry. And,thanks to global warming grants, these environmental researchers are making more money than the 'hard' scientists.
Sorry if I offended environmental researchers, but I will go with the words of Frances Bacon:
"Argumentation cannot suffice for the discovery of new work, since the subtlety of Nature is greater many times than the subtlety of argument."
Has it warmed up over the last 10,000 years? Yes.
Was it caused by man? No.
Agreed - that's what REAL science says, not what the fraudulent, politically- and monetarily-driven "consensus" says.
Here's another question:
IF there is global warming, and IF it is a "bad thing," and IF it is caused mostly by mankind, and IF we can do something about it without crashing the already fragile and dying world economy (which crash would result in mass starvation and world war), then CAN IT BE DONE WITHOUT CHINA AND INDIA BEING SUBJECT TO THE SAME STANDARDS?
The answer is clearly, "No" - meaning that the proposed set of solutions to this non-problem is purely driven by politics and corruption, both with a heavy anti-US bias. Meaning that as a presidential candidate, Chris Christie makes a fantastic governor of the Peoples Republic of New Jersey.
Take note, Anne Coulter. You are on the cusp of being written off as a serious conservative if you keep talking up this guy.
Other than his Youtube "me vs the teachers" videos, the only thing he's good for is Gov of NJ.
Climate change is real. I mean yesterday it was 80 degrees sunny light breeze, and right now it is foggy 60 no wind.
I am in full agreement that climate change is real and I would add that only a fool would believe otherwise. The climate has been changing as long as there has been such a thing as climate. Where I part company with Christie is when he says that human activity is causing it or that there is man made global warming. The clowns have corrupted the language at every opportunity so that now it is assumed that climate change can mean only anthropogenic global warming, it is like saying that animal can only mean Kangaroo. Actually climate change could mean any one of a very long list of things, even non-anthropogenic global COOLING which seems to be what is actually happening and it is what was being predicted long before they switched over to the global warming hue and cry.
"Oh, I've done a 360 on that."

Climate change is as real as the changing of the seasons...
No, wait...What?
I believe Christie is correct that human activity does/can impact global climate change just by virtue of being part of the Eco system. However, if Christie meant to imply that human activity is in any way a major or even significant contributor/cause to the climate change he was really off base and not even in in the ball park. He needs to clarify his position on this with creditable references. He also should explain his acceptance of Muslim friendship.
Wobal glarming strikes down another great thinker. /s
Human activity can impact the local environment, but global climate change on Earth, Mars, Venus, and other planets is caused by the Sun. Mankind has zero measurable impact on global climate change.
Water vapor and clouds are the primary drivers of climate change, as driven by the Sun, whether it be cosmic rays or variations in solar radiation, or magnetic field changes, or distance from the Earth.
So I say,go for it Christie!
He's borrowing from GA Jimmy who said in 1977 or 1978 "the energy crisis is real."
Governor Christie seems to have found a way to keep people from pestering him about running for president.
Climate change is real.
And human activity may have a role in that.
Climate-change science makes for hot politics
Global Warming on Free Republic
Latest from Global Warming News
Well, the problem is he is stomping all over the message,
1. Climate always changes
2. Humans are part of the biosphere of the planet so it is impossible that they don't have an impact
3. The real questions are,
a. how much does humans influence the climate? Is it practical to think that humans can through a behavior b. change mitigate their affect on it
c. for what benefit?
d. at what cost?
Perry's answer to this complicated mess of questions of where exactly these greenie weanie arguments fell short to the simple "NO" it doesn't exist.
Christi thinks he can't say that, so he simply says "YES"
The majority of voters can't deal with this, they want it baked down to yes or no. Perry honors them by doing this.
We conservatives have to know what he means by Yes and if that would mean anything significantly different between the two.
If Christi thinks that the changes to CO2 output will correct for any climate change, he fails the intelligence test.
That's true, he says it as fact when it is nothing but his belief.
He doesn't know enough to really know if it is real or not, he is going based on someone he trusts......that is what worries me.
Carbon Dioxide portion of Greenhouse gases: 4%
Man made Carbon Dioxide: 3% of all Carbon Dioxide generated.
Green house gas reduction if all man made actions ceased: 0.12%
It is pure hubris to think that we affect the earth's temperature.

It's notable that the draft of the plan, from Sam Schwartz Engineering, rely on best practices from CitiField in Queens, the Prudential Center in Newark, and CenturyLink Field in Seattle, but make no mention of the significant example of Wrigley Field in Chicago, which has been an inspiration for the proposed Neighborhood Protection Plan, which aims to fill in gaps in the TDM plan.
I'll point to a few lingering questions.
HOV parking
The Schwartz draft notes that the Final Environmental Impact Statement (FEIS) recommended that 600 of the 1,100 parking spaces provided on-site for Nets game attendees be reserved for HOV vehicles (with three or more persons). But that's impossible now. What's the solution?
However, the number of spaces in the interim, on-site facility has since been reduced to 541 for arena patrons, 150 of which will be attended VIP spaces. This would mean that the 600 spaces cannot be provided for HOV parking on-site at arena opening. Therefore, the arena will work with Click and Park (the arena parking system coordinator) to design and implement the HOV parking plan described previously in this memorandum. This plan will encourage patrons to travel with three or more people in their cars if they are driving to the arena by holding a number of spaces at the on-site facility and certain off-site facilities up to and including event days and by offering those spaces to HOV drivers at a discounted rate. The goal is to have HOV parking available at multiple parking facilities in the area. If successful, this program could have the potential to offer HOV spaces at more locations and could meet or exceed the 600 space requirement from the FEIS.(Emphasis added)
That's a rather large question mark. If it "could meet or exceed" the requirement, that suggests it also might not.
Missing, for example, is whether off-site HOV parking will be subsidized by Forest City Ratner, a feature that presumably would have been easier to incorporate on-site.
Free MetroCards
The draft explains the reasoning, which "Gridlock Sam" explained at length, behind the decision to drop the free MetroCards:
Free Round-Trip MetroCards to Those Who Would Otherwise DriveOK, the technology isn't quite there.
The FEIS recommended providing free round-trip MetroCards (currently valued at $4.50) to Nets game attendees who would otherwise drive to the arena. This strategy is not included in the proposed TDM plan because free subway fare is not expected to be a significant enough incentive to shift drivers to transit. This element of the program is not recommended because of the reasons described below.
First, it is not possible to distribute MetroCards and ensure that they could only be used for arena event trips. We have met with the MTA and the agency does not currently have the technology to incorporate transit fare directly into an event ticket, nor is it possible to activate or deactivate a MetroCard at specific times (e.g., in the hours prior to and following event times) or to program it for use only at an arena subway station. Were the program to be implemented, the round-trip fare would have to be dispersed to fans via standard MetroCards with $4.50 preloaded onto them. Should this occur, it would not be possible to guarantee that the MetroCards could only be used by event-ticket holders and a substantial portion of them are likely to be used for non-arena transit trips, which would not meet the goals of the program.
This is supported by the fact that 73% of Barclays Center Transportation Survey respondents who reported regularly purchasing unlimited ride MetroCards (and would therefore not benefit from free subway fare) also responded on the survey that a free round-trip MetroCard would make them more likely to take transit (see Appendix A). Free subway fare would be of no value to those who already purchase unlimited ride cards and, although a majority responded that it would make them more likely to take transit, it is not likely that the fares would, in fact, be utilized by the event ticket-holder.
And yes, if those who get unlimited ride MetroCards mistakenly thought a free MetroCard would help, that's not a real incentive.
But it's not quite true that the incentive would not be effective.
Looking more closely
Let's look at the results from the survey. As noted in the slide below, 58% of respondents said they would be much more likely or somewhat more likely to take public transit with a free MetroCard.
Subtract the 73% of unlimited ride MetroCard holders and the percentage dips only to 51%, a statistic unmentioned in the text of the report.
That 51%, according to the survey, is the same incentive as more frequent subway service.
And, in general, other incentives, notably a $5 concession voucher, would be nearly as effective. The difference, of course, is that giveaways would cost Forest City Ratner money, while more frequent subway service would be on the public dime. (Stepped-up security could cost the developer as well.)
More reasons from the report
The draft plan also offered other reasons against the free MetroCard:
Second, considering the robust transit options available at Barclays Center, fans who still choose to drive are likely motivated by factors other than cost. Conservatively assuming that each vehicle has at least two occupants, the cost of round-trip subway fare would be $9. The cost of parking at the arena is expected to be approximately $30 based on the cost of parking at Madison Square Garden.Parking reduction
Putting aside the expense of fuel and vehicle wear and tear, this means that inveterate drivers are already willing to pay more than three times the cost of taking the subway, or an additional $21 ($10.50 per person), to drive their own vehicle to the arena. It is unlikely that saving an additional $9 ($4.50 per person) in transportation costs, via a free MetroCard, would be a substantial enough incentive shift many drivers to transit.
The assumption that those who choose to drive base their decisions on factors other than cost is supported by the Barclays Center Transportation Survey (see Appendix A). In the survey, 65% of respondents who stated they would likely drive to the arena chose convenience/ease as the most important factor in deciding their travel mode. Of all survey respondents, a majority (56%) also ranked convenience/east as the most important factor of their decision making.
Third, based on the results of the Barclays Center Transportation Survey, it is likely that the arena will meet the FEIS auto share goals for Nets games by educating fans about the robust transit and limited parking in the area around the arena. The goal of the other elements of the TDM plan are to maintain and/or improve upon this expected auto share through enhancements to existing transit services, reducing on-site parking, and promoting biking and walking to the arena.
Also see the second memo, On-Site Parking Reduction Analysis:
This memorandum concludes that there would be sufficient parking available to accommodate all arena-generated demand at arena opening; that shifting a portion of arena autos from on-site to off-site facilities is not likely to result in significant changes in vehicle volumes at most study intersections; and that changes in pedestrian routing caused by the shift in parking locations is not likely to result in any significant effect on pedestrian operations. There are, however, certain intersections where operations could be adversely affected by an increase in vehicle volume; these locations would be monitored during arena events and improvement measures recommended, as needed.What's the new inventory?
The memo reports:
The 2006 Atlantic Yards Arena and Redevelopment Project Final Environmental Impact Statement (Atlantic Yards FEIS) contained a detailed survey of all public, off-street parking facilities located within ½ mile of the arena block (bounded by Atlantic Avenue to the north, Sixth Avenue to the east, Dean Street to the south, and Flatbush Avenue to the west-southwest) The survey, conducted in 2006, collected the licensed capacity of each facility and typical occupancy/utilization for various time periods throughout the day. In October 2011, SSE updated the parking facility inventory for the same study area and obtained typical occupancies on weekday evenings and Saturday afternoons based on operator estimates. Twenty existing off-street parking facilities were found within the study area, shown in Figure 1. Capacity and utilization data for all off-street parking facilities within the study area are shown in Table 1.Now, it seems, there's more parking:
These 20 public parking facilities have a total licensed capacity of 3,461 spaces and a combined typical utilization of approximately 49% on weekday evenings and 41% on Saturday afternoons. According to the City Environmental Quality Review (CEQR) Technical Manual (January 2012), parking facilities are to be considered full when they reach 98% of their licensed capacity; therefore, the estimated total availability of parking spaces is 1,685 on weekday evenings and 1,986 on Saturday afternoons.

Go for goals on Super Sunday
Ben Coley previews Sunday's Premier League action and expects goals to flow, especially at Stamford Bridge.

Man City v Tottenham (1330 GMT)
We're in the first fortnight of November and Manchester City are as good as out of the Champions League - all is not well at the Etihad. Micah Richards, Kolo Toure, Mario Balotelli and more appear ill at ease with the way things are being done by Roberto Mancini, who is under immense pressure to get his side playing the sort of stylish football that ultimately won them the Premier League title last May. The Italian will rightly point out that, two points off the top of the table, there's little physical evidence to suggest European struggles are affecting their league form, but anyone who has seen them this year knows that simply isn't the case. Why? Well, the continued absence of David Silva - who could make a surprise return - has been a massive factor, as has the manager's persistent experimentation in defence, and my feeling is that City are living on borrowed time when it comes to their 34-game unbeaten home run in the league. And in Spurs, they face more than worthy adversaries, despite what was a very poor performance against Wigan a week ago. On the road, Andre Villas-Boas has his side firing. If they overcome City it'll be the first time in more than 20 years that they've won four consecutive away games, and at 5/1 I can't resist chancing them. The way they're set up and the expectations of supporters - many of whom remain unconvinced by the Portuguese - means that backing Spurs on the road is the best policy. What's more, they could very well have won this fixture last season and have beaten City away from home seven times this century. What that counts for remains to be seen, but they face a side playing below their best and missing arguably their most influential player, and the North London club definitely have the tools to take advantage. In addition, I'll have a small each-way bet on Gareth Bale to score first. He's done so in each of Spurs' last two away wins, found the net in this fixture last year, and will relish the extra space he gets away from White Hart Lane.
Verdict: Man City 1 Tottenham 2
Newcastle have become a very difficult side to beat and that's why they're worthy favourites to see off a side above them in the table. Alan Pardew's men have lost just three times all season, twice to Manchester United and once to Chelsea, and once again showed their spirit in coming back from 2-0 down to draw in Bruges on Thursday. My concern is that Cheikh Tiote and Fabricio Coloccini are both suspended for this and, with Danny Simpson and James Perch also missing, they could be exposed at the back. However, Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse are available and with those leading the line, the home side are capable of outscoring any side in the league on a good day. It's no secret that West Ham have had a very kind reintroduction to the Premier League, with Norwich, QPR, Wigan and Swansea their four away opponents so far. That they have four points from a possible 12 suggests a season of struggle on the road and although the likes of Andy Carroll and Kevin Nolan will be right up for this return to Newcastle, I don't think there's any value in 3/1 about an away win. I'd certainly rather take 3/1 about Nolan finding the net for the fifth time in 11 Premier League games, especially with Newcastle's defensive issues, but an even better 3/1 chance is Newcastle to win by a goal. They've won six games so far this season, five of which came by exactly a goal, and therefore always merit close consideration in this market.
Verdict: Newcastle 2 West Ham 1
Chelsea are odds-on to beat Liverpool as they bid to return to the top of the Premier League come the end of the weekend fixtures. Roberto Di Matteo's side have been wonderful to watch this season - a fact underlined by Wednesday's 3-2 win over Shakhtar - but defensive issues that again surfaced against the Ukrainians mean they remain unconvincing in victory. John Terry's return from domestic suspension will help in that regard with David Luiz likely to make way, and he can help Ryan Bertrand as the youngster fills the shoes of Ashley Cole at left-back. That's where Liverpool will seek to get at the home side, with Raheem Sterling surely set to be given licence to get at his England colleague, but it's Luis Suarez who is increasingly essential to the Reds. Indeed, Sky Bet go 3/1 that Liverpool win this game, and 100/30 that they do so with Suarez scoring: if he doesn't score, Liverpool won't win is their effective conclusion. In midfield, I expect Chelsea to dominate. Oscar, Juan Mata and Eden Hazard are simply a sensational trio and with Victor Moses having starred in each of the last three games Di Matteo has options that Brendan Rodgers simply does not have. And that's why I expect Chelsea to win the game, I just can't quite pull the trigger at odds-on, especially as Liverpool have won both league meetings in each of the last two seasons. If looking for a solid punt I'd rather take 4/6 about both teams scoring, but instead I'll play over 3.5 goals at 2/1. Even with Terry returning I don't see Chelsea keeping a clean sheet against anyone right now, and games with City, Juventus, Shakhtar, Tottenham, Manchester United (twice), Norwich, Wolves, Reading and Nordsjaelland have all seen more than three goals scored. Expect another thriller at Stamford Bridge.
Verdict: Chelsea 3 Liverpool 1

This product is also available in these versions:
The Best Of The Bishops, CD (£11.50)
Continuing the celebratory series of reissues from the Chiswick label that mark Ace Records' 20th Anniversary. This 27 track compilation assembles the very best of The Bishops studio recordings and the complete "Live At The Roundhouse" LP from 1978. The CD plots the various line-up changes from their formation in 1975 to their demise after the death of guitarist Zenon de Fleur in 1978. Sleevenotes are by long-time fan Charles Shaar Murray and track-by-track commentary by band member Johnny Guitar. Look out soon for the Count Bishops "Speedball EP" with extra tracks.A rowdy, high-energy R&B outfit, The Count Bishops were magic on a good night. John Crosby remembers one such occasion:It was a balmy summer night in 1978. I had bought a ticket to The Mekons at Hull University Union hall and was not having fun. The local police (in the heavy-handed manner of the punk era) were trying to eject two under-eighteen year olds from the event and had repeatedly emptied the whole venue of everybody in order to achieve their goal (the targeted kids, of course, resourcefully climbed back in through an open toilet window after each expulsion). Somebody said The Bishops were playing the adjacent Higher Education College hall and half of the crowd decided to go check it out. Great band that The Mekons are, those who made the switch were not disappointed.The music The Bishops made just sucked you in and the couple of hours of blissful, hard-drivin' R&B and rock 'n' roll they created live was always among the finer rock experiences of those crazy late 1970s nights. The band had the slightly shambolic air of a new group playing their second high school gig, but the music - oh, the music was as tight and heady as it comes. Most of the material you will hear on this new Best Of was given an airing that night, including the singles Train, Train and I Want Candy plus most of what constituted their (then) recent "Live At The Roundhouse" set. We all left very late and very elated. By the end of the year, the band was sadly no more but the records they made bear testimony to a very special kind of fire and passion.
