The Lesley University Public Safety Department is responsible for the safety and security of more than three thousand faculty, staff and students and over fifty buildings located on four campuses in two cities. It is our mission to serve and protect the Lesley community with all our resources to ensure our campus buildings and community members remain safe.
The Lesley Public Safety department investigates all criminal incidents, responds to all emergencies, conducts campus patrols, escorts community members upon request and checks the well being of students, faculty and staff. Every community member will be treated with respect, care and confidentiality. We pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service and make high community satisfaction our priority.
Our Public Safety personnel are not police officers and do not have powers of arrest nor do they carry weapons of any kind. Our Officers' legal authority is limited to issuing "Trespass Notices." If police assistance is necessary in Cambridge, the City of Cambridge police will respond. The City of Boston police will respond to emergency calls on the Boston/Kenmore campus. Boston University police may also respond to incidents at 601 Newbury Street. Lesley Public Safety has cultivated strong relationships with these agencies and other area university public safety departments to ensure prompt response during emergencies. The Captain of Public Safety often meets with representatives from each police department and other area public safety/security professionals to exchange ideas and discuss current events. This collaborative approach to law enforcement provides numerous benefits to the community.
The training program for all Public Safety officers at Lesley is ongoing. All new officers receive a dedicated, one-on-one, extensive orientation. The training program includes topics such as: emergency response, patrol techniques, customer service, incident reporting and access control. Additionally, each officer receives annual bloodborne pathogens, sexual harassment, legal aspects of public safety, first aid, Automated External Defibrillator (AED) and CPR training from Securitas.

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) announced today the 26th round of awards for the Fiscal Year 2010 Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response Grant (SAFER).
The SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) Grant was created to provide funding directly to fire departments and volunteer firefighter interest organizations in order to help them increase the number of trained, "front-line" firefighters available in their communities.
The goal of SAFER is to enhance the local fire departments' abilities to comply with staffing, response and operational standards established by NFPA and OSHA (NFPA 1710 and/or NFPA 1720 and OSHA 1910.134 - see www.nfpa.org/SAFERActGrant for more details). Specifically, SAFER funds should assist local fire departments to increase their staffing and deployment capabilities in order to respond to emergencies whenever they may occur.
Submit information on fallen firefighters in your area.

Snake-oil salesmen make a killing in the name of economic development
Most every little town in Mississippi — from the Tennessee line to the Gulf of Mexico — has an economic development arm.
Presidents of growth alliances, economic development associations, or whatever each town prefers to call its version, routinely make anywhere from $60,000 to more than $100,000 to lure big business to small-town Mississippi. We are talking about paying that kind of money in towns with populations ranging from 9,000 to around 20,000.
In many cases, the economic development expert has left one small town for another, hoping to accomplish in the latter what he or she failed to accomplish in the former.
It's not necessary for these towns to pay that kind of money for an "Economic Development President" to travel, eat nice meals and make phone calls when — in most cases — the only thing the town gets in return is a fatter, more well-traveled "Economic Development President."
While some may argue that now — in this economic climate — is the absolute best time to hire aggressive economic developers, this really is the worst time to waste money when other more productive and important departments — like fire and police services or education — are being cut to the bone or cut out all-together.
We scream about wasteful government spending on the national level. Yet, when there is duplicitous spending on the local level, we find ways to rationalize the process. There is no reason to have small-town economic developers when, just up the road, there is generally an economic development agency that serves the entire region — such as the statewide Mississippi Development Authority.
There have been calls at the national level of getting rid of large-scale economic development agencies, such as — although not specifically mentioned — the MDA.
In an op-ed to The Wall Street Journal in June, Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., a Tea Party stalwart dedicated to reducing the size of the government, called for the elimination of the Economic Development Administration. He says the EDA's efforts duplicate existing federal programs.
While I am certain there is much fat to be trimmed, the MDA's overall work is needed to facilitate economic progress.
Towns need to think about consolidating, using existing services and working regionally. The best example of regionalism at work in the last 50 years in Mississippi is in Northeast Mississippi, where companies have located in and around Tupelo with little selfish pushback in individual communities.
Toyota recognized that, and placed its new production facility near the interstate-like U.S. 78 and U.S. 45 intersection as people from as far away as Corinth, Columbus, Oxford and across the state line in Alabama will drive to Blue Springs to work.
The bottom line is that in small towns around the state, essential services like police, fire, education and infrastructure repairs are being slashed or eliminated in the name of fiscal responsibility. In the mean time, as much as $100,000 is being handed out to the president of an economic development organization who is making claims of working hard on the next big thing — when the only thing of significance that might be getting done is making sure the local farmers market has a clean working area for the spring and summer months.

24.07.2013 /
Watch Ken Roczen racing at Spring Creek Saturday night on the giant video screen at the Motocross Grand Prix of Germany on the Lausitzring.
World Championship MX GPs take on a new character this weekend with a brand new purpose-built circuit in the inner arena of Germany's famed Lausitzring. The temporary track has been designed to deliver the same exciting character as the renowned Daytona circuit.
The weekend also offers something special for Ken Roczen fans. Thanks to a cooperation between event organizers and KTM, those attending can watch the German star and current 250-class points leader racing via live satellite link on Saturday night. A giant screen will deliver races straight from the ninth round of the Lucas Oil Pro MX championship in Spring Creek, Millville Minnesota as Roczen fights to extend his narrow one-point lead.
Massive logistics
Some 15,000 cubic meters (more than 1,000 truckloads) of dirt have been transported to create the temporary 1500-meter track under the guidance of the Lausitzring technical staff, track designers and other experts. The workforce of 45 has maneuvered the colossal mountain of earth into place with an impressive lineup of earth moving equipment. The arena character of the track, built to capitalize on the existing circuit tribunes, will provide the perfect setting for the current title chases in MX1 & MX2.
Red Bull KTM Factory Racing in the ascendency
The Lausitzring will also set the stage for full gas action from the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team, whose riders have again been the stand out performers in 2013. Tony Cairoli continues to dazzle in MX1 and now has an impressive 99-point lead in the championship. He is also well supported by factory teammate Ken de Dycker, currently in fourth place.
Meanwhile Dutch Wunderkind Jeffrey Herlings charges unabated towards another MX2 world title and towards his remarkable goal of trying to win every GP of the season. He has already won 12/12 with four more rounds to go and has a lead of 151 points on second placed KTM teammate Jordi Tixier.
The combination of the new style track at the Lausitzring, the title chase by Red Bull KTM riders in both MX1 and MX2, plus the opportunity to see the US Red Bull KTM team racing in Spring Creek holds the promise of an unforgettable weekend for all racing fans.

I had about 520 FPS. I shot about 5 mags through it. Removed it. Checked FPS without it and it was the same about 420FPS
But after storing for a week with the angry gun kit on the KRISS, I shot it today and it only shot about 480 with it installed. I removed the extension and it is firing 380.
I cleaned the barrel and checked the hop up. Chrono was still at 380.
Something may be happening here. I'd like to open this up and check it out. See if any damage is happening to the hop bucking. Maybe the barrel is being pushed back.

Did you record the temperature when you did the chrono? This is a gas gun, after all.
Also, with all the talk about accuracy being affected, it'd be great if someone who owns one could do a shot group comparison at a decent range.

The Kriss version has good accuracy(although there are some flyaways which cant be helped on long range))and LOOOOOONG range. But you have to be aware that because of the additional power the flight of the BBs will be altered drastically, since i have a 1-4x scope with bullet drop compensator turrets on my scope i have observed that zero with the suppressor on will be different without it. So i just zeroed my scope with the farthest target i can reach with the suppressor on and adjust accordingly with the bullet drop compensator without it and presto.... Sniper SMG.
Also the tension on the spring of the suppressors innerbarrel is lighter compared with the MP7 so it doesn't push as much to the guns inner barrel. But to be on the safe side i don't leave the suppressor on if i don't need it since i can attach it anytime and not worry if im going to have many flyaways.
Here is a video of the power after firing more the 2 loads and allowing for the cool down to dissappear then chronoed again.

IL072: The Ancient Puzzle of Pokémopolis
this wiki
[show]Episode Plot
Ash is training against Brock. Pikachu is battling Vulpix until Jigglypuff gets in the line of fire. To keep Jigglypuff from getting hurt, Pikachu holds back its attack and Vulpix deflects it's fire attack to uncover some ancient artifacts. A girl named Eve swoops in to take the artifact they found. She explains about the ancient city of Pokémonpolis and tells of a warning written on an old tablet but she cannot understand it. In the night, Team Rocket sneak in to steal any valuable artifacts they can get out of the unsearched underground. Arbok, who was sent in to find them, comes out with a small black bar-like object which traps him inside along with the rest of Team Rocket. The group come out the following morning to discover the object on the ground. It captures the leader and some workers but the rest make it safely back to their camp to see the black thing turn into a giant Gengar. They then notice everything floating around inside. Ash, Misty and Brock go to stop the Gengar from destroying Pallet Town, but get its attention along with some of their Pokémon forcing them to retreat back to camp. They discover Eve under the spell making everything float. The glass around the artifact breaks, and the key to it connects. Then it turns into a giant Alakazam. The two giant Pokémon battle it out, until Jigglypuff sings a song, that doesn't work on them. Jigglypuff is flung off into the air, but it's song makes another artifact turn into a giant Jigglypuff. it starts to sing. Then, that puts the giant Pokémon to sleep and it whips out a paint brush to paint designs on their faces. The giant Pokemon are then gone and Team Rocket and the others are freed.
- Alakazam
- Like Jigglypuff's microphone/marker, the relic which unleashed the giant Jigglypuff was also a microphone that doubles as a marker.
- The giant Jigglypuff's song was deeper than the normal Jigglypuff song.
- The "Who's that Pokémon?" in this episode is Jigglypuff.

Buying Guide
'Analog Compact Camera' is just a fancy name for a small camera that uses film, with the popularity of digital cameras so prevalent today we have to find a way to differentiate between them, and calling them a 'camera' just won't do anymore as at this point in time when you say camera you most likely mean a digital one.
And yes believe it or not there are people that still use film cameras, those who prefer to hold a tangible picture in their hands and there is something to be said about that really, considering it feels more real than a digital picture. You can hold a picture in your hands, you can put it in a scrapbook, you can take it with you and share with friends and family. Sure some of those things you can do with a digital pictures but it's really not the same. I like both styles of cameras really, even though I don't own a film camera personally, but my wife does, and she takes more than enough pictures for both of us. I take many pictures with my digital cameras, but it's not quite the same as using an analog camera and having the results in your hands or in a photo album that you can take out anytime to view at your leisure.
When it comes to cameras that use film, especially the compact types you're kind of limited to what you can buy anymore as digital cameras are quickly rendering these types of cameras obsolete, but there is still a demand for them and companies are still producing them, after all if there is a profit to be made they'll make it.
These are the traditional style of cameras and can trace their history all the way back the first camera, they work virtually the same way as the first camera did by capturing light on a photographic medium or film. Most of the analog cameras on the market today use 35mm film, at one point there were a few different types of film out there that cameras used including 110, and disc styles, these were popular because they were easy for the average person to work with.
As time passed of course technology advanced and electronic cameras came along that made using 35mm film much more easier for the regular person, so it has become the most common type of film in use today.
Most compact cameras are just that, compact, and don't have all of the features or bells and whistles of their larger, full-sized counterparts, but you'd be surprised that come of them can be just as powerful and have quite a lot of features built into such a small body.
The type that you'll be looking to purchase will depend solely on your own needs.
The most basic compact analog cameras are the point and shoot type with no focus or such features, some won't even have a flash, but most will most likely have a flash and possibly red-eye reduction.
The next level or style up would be the basic camera with just more features included with it, like an auto focus lens, or possibly even zoom capabilities. Of course these will include a flash, and most most likely a red-eye reduction feature also.
Some compact analog cameras look and act just like their full-sized counterparts, but they're only smaller. These types are much more advanced with sometimes auto and manual focus features, ability to change many more settings and even the possibility of interchangeable lenses. These types cvan have a built in flash or possibly a hot shoe to attach an external flash or maybe even both so you can choose what's right for your particular photo's situation.
The majority of analog cameras require film to be loaded into them and then sent away for processing, but some of these cameras are rather special in that they develop the film instantly for you, these have the brand name Polaroid usually, or the most popular brand name, but other companies did produce them. These use a film cartridge with the 'pictures' already in them, when you take a picture a few seconds later your picture slides out of a slot usually located on the front of the camera, but with some styles the slot if located on the sides or the bottom. Polaroids were great for their time and are pretty much obsolete now, but there is word that Polaroid might be developing a new camera based of the same type of technology for the future.
When looking to purchase an analog compact camera I would suggest looking for some nice features like auto focus, red-eye reduction and specifically find ones that are easy to use. Yes you can get those 'disposable' cameras but honestly they usually don't take good pictures, there are some exceptions to the rule with some of them actually doing a decent job at picture taking, but generally they don't work well.
If you're looking for a compact camera then obviously you want something small, and there are some that are small enough to easily fit in your pocket that do a good job at taking photographs, and some even have a few of the more advanced features built in.
There are many choices out there still available to purchase and you're going to have to wade though all of them, but sites like TestFreaks and many others out there that offer honest reviews, ratings and user opinions that can greatly help you to figure out what's best for you. They'll tell you how well the camera does it's job and just how well the features actually work.
Though anymore these types of cameras are seldom reviewed, but of course there is still the hobbyist, niche or enthusiast market or them where they are still commonly discussed and used. Seeking out these places is your best bet really to find real opinions and get a feel of how the camera you want is going to work for you.

Arizona Cardinals
Patrick Peterson: Offense 'can't give up two touchdowns'
Patrick Peterson is only two years removed from his college career at LSU, yet the 22-year-old may be the only player on the Arizona Cardinals' 53-man roster with the authority to call out any of his teammates.
After all, he's done just about everything in 2012.
Peterson, who has served as a cornerback, running back, wide receiver, punt returner and gunner this season, displayed that rare cachet after Sunday's 28-13 to the Chicago Bears.
"As an offense, we can't give up two touchdowns," Peterson said. "Coach Whisenhunt really hit that on the head today."
While Peterson and Arizona's defense held Bears quarterback Jay Cutler in check (12-of-26 for 141 yards), the Cardinals were forced to play from behind all afternoon on Sunday, as a fumble return for a touchdown by Chicago's Zack Bowman in the first quarter and an interception return for a touchdown by Charles Tillman in the third quarter put Lovie Smith and Co. in the driver's seat at University of Phoenix Stadium.
Although the former No. 5 overall pick had some harsh words for the offense, he didn't limit his criticism to only one side of the football.
"At the end of the day, we can't let those guys score," said Peterson. "We have to do a better when the offense does turn the ball over to hold those guys to three points."
The Cardinals' defense limited Chicago's offense to only 15 points, but they did allow over 150 yards on the ground.
With a week left in their season, the Cardinals sit in the basement of the NFC West, and are much closer to a top 5 draft pick than they are to playoff contention. Despite a forgettable campaign in 2012, Peterson said the team would still try to grow together over their final 60 minutes of play next Sunday.
"We're a team that never wants to give up," said Peterson. "We want to play hard until the fourth quarter when that clock says 0:00. That's our mentality coming into any game, win, lose or draw."
The Cardinals travel to San Francisco to take on the division-leading 49ers next weekend. The game still has plenty of meaning for Jim Harbaugh's squad, as well. After being blown out 42-13 Sunday night, the 49ers still need a win or a Seattle Seahawks loss in Week 17 to clinch the NFC West.

About Dolphins
Costa Maya - Mahahual Dolphin Encounter
Swimming with dolphins in Costa Maya Mahahual is an excellent option for something to do here since there are currently very few quality tours available in this area. The Costa Maya Mahaual area of Quintana Roo Mexico remains very undeveloped with regard to tourist services, activities and tours. Most tours are only offered informally by "independents" walking along the beach in the old town area.
At the Costa Maya Mahaual Dolphin Encounter, the focus is on ensuring that everyone will enjoy having a high degree of contact with the dolphins and at the same time the trainers will teach you about these amazing animals.
Your dolphin adventure takes place very near the Costa Maya Mahaual cruise ship pier and will start with a short educational orientation with one of our Dolphin Trainers where you will learn a little about the dolphin anatomy and some of its special features and then get into the WATER!
You will enter the water by going down a set of stairs from our dock onto a submerged platform where you will remain for 25 30 minutes in waist-deep water. The Encounter starts with a kiss from an Atlantic-Bottle nosed dolphin that will be captured forever by a professional photographer and can be purchased afterward. The program will continue with a Swim-by, where you will get the chance to touch and pet the dolphins, a chance to learn about the anatomy of the dolphin and then on to some very special selected behaviors. The program is completed by giving each guest a chance to have some good quality time with the dolphin where you can ask the trainer any questions you may have about the dolphin.
If arriving by ship, please check with the cruise line what time zone your ship will observe during your voyage so as to book an appropriate time slot. To be safe, book mid day time slots leaving plenty of room on each side of your activity.
Dolphin Discovery Cozumel is located in Chankanaab National Marine Park. As well as offering world class diving and snorkeling from a pristine beach, this beautiful park houses a variety of birds, the sea lion show, a botanical garden, reproductions of famous archeological sites, a typical Mayan village, an underground river, a tropical lagoon teeming with brightly colored tropical fish, restaurants and bars as well as a dive shop and Sea Trek helmet diving. So you will definitely want to allow time to enjoy the park either before or after your dolphin activity.

Just got back from our cruise and wanted to let you know how much fun we had at Chankanaab Park. My daughter, Emily, had the most wonderful dolphin experience and the $2.00 off coupon for me to get into the park worked like a charm. And, your confirmation email telling us about getting to the park was very helpful. Thank you for the experience! This was well organized and an absolutely perfect day in Cozumel for us! We (the old ladies in my family) are coming back in February, I'll be sure to connect with you again as we'll do the dolphin swim with you again.

(03/17/2015) - Just wanted to say what a great experience we had on our Dolphin Excursion booked thru Cozumel Insider! The customer service/emails from Martin answering all our questions were extremely helpful! We were able to do more interactions with the dolphins and manatee that other groups were not able to do since they booked thru the cruise lines. The price was a huge savings also! T hanks so much for providing great service and a great experience!

I'm not much of a Bill De Blasio fan. Our first Democratic Mayor in thirty years in a town that is one of the most liberal in the country, and right from the start of his administration he seems to be going out of his way to alienate a lot of people. When he won the office in a landslide back in November 2013, he was asked by reporters about hiring Republicans for his staff; his narrow-minded response was hardly inclusive and right out of the gate, he proved himself to be someone who didn't want to reach across the aisle and bridge the divide between both parties.

It's the Quiet Ones You Gotta Worry About Sometimes
Driving a cab in this city, I like to think I seen it all. And then I'm proven wrong. I've had all kinds in the back of my car. The rich, the poor, the crazies, the drunks, celebrities, wanna-be's, one Mayor, two Congressmen, cops, thieves, I once had two wiseguys in the back who used to be part of Gotti's crew, and more tourists than I can remember. Everyone's got a story. Some like to talk, some don't want you to say a word, just leave them alone. Those are the times I keep the radio on, mostly talk radio or I'll have the FAN on to listen to Francesa when baseball's in season; and more often than not the ones who aren't up for chit chat will hear something going on in the news and then they just gotta put in their two cents.

The Military Gets All the Cool Stuff (As They Should)
No matter who I get in the back of my cab, I like to talk to people. I think one of the best things about being a driver is the diverse group of passengers I get to meet each day. Most of them will engage in conversation during the trip and I find that I learn something new every time I'm on a shift. Sure, there are the ones who don't feel like talking for whatever reason, and that's cool with me. It's their dime, they're paying the fare, they deserve to have quiet ride if they so choose. Maybe they're having a rough day, maybe part of their job is talking to people non-stop and when they're off the clock all they want is some peace and quiet. Who really knows what someone else is going through, especially a stranger you just met. Those folks, I got no hard feelings for them. If they want their cab ride to be a conversation-free zone, so be it. Like I said, their dime.
But I do get to talk with a majority of my fares. Executives, students, artists, actors, the occasional midday drunk, New York has all kinds. Some of my favorites are the men and women in uniform who have devoted their lives to protecting this country in the armed forces.
The other day I had a pair of guys decked out in their camo, just got off the plane at JFK. They were returning home after a lengthy deployment in Afghanistan. These guys sure looked like they were happy to be back and had to get into the city to surprise their wives and kids at one of those events you see in commercials. You know the kind, where the family is doing something routine and their husband and father walks out unexpectedly and everyone cheers. These two guys were going to surprise their loved ones at their kids' school in Queens. It was all arranged ahead of time.
Anyway, they got in the car. I didn't turn the meter on, I never do for the military. They ride free in my backseat every time. The guys were carrying their gear in these huge military backpacks. I tell you, these were the biggest things I'd ever seen. They must have been three feet long each. Decked out in all kinds of extra compartments. I asked them if that stuff was military issue but I was surprised to hear that they had gotten those themselves.
Found them on a site for military backpacks apparently, and they gave me the link for military duffle bags. So I checked it out to find the brand and model they were carrying around, and wouldn't you know, I found the one they had with them. So we got to talking more about what they were doing out there and how thrilled they were to be back. I got a look at those backpacks and told them that the military always has the coolest stuff. As they should. They laughed and told me it only looks that way. It's only like that in the movies.
Well I said I'm getting myself one of those backpacks of theirs. They told me it was one of the things they could really rely on out in the field. They weren't cheap, but they got some of the cost defrayed.
I dropped them off at their stop and wished them good luck. They thanked me and went inside. I wish I could have stayed to see the looks on their families faces. I'm betting there were a lot of tears of joy that day.
Tools of the Trade
Most people think driving a cab is easy. You're sitting down all day, you get to talk to interesting people, and you're always on the move. Sounds like a piece of cake, right? Well every cab driver who has ever lived you tell you that you don't know what you're talking about. Driving a cab is tough work! Most shifts are over 8 hours, people can be rude, sitting all day is really bad for you, there's never a good place to go to the bathroom, and on and on.
Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't do anything else but it's a tough job no matter how easy and stress free we make it look (that was a joke).
Here are some must haves for anyone looking to get into a driving career that will make your day soooooo much better:
I know Manhattan like the back of my hand. I grew up here and I've been driving a cab for almost 2 decades. Even so, I have a GPS and have it running all the time. Every once in a while there's some little alleyway a fare needs to go to that I've never heard of before. It's so much easier just to look it up on the screen instead of getting out a map or calling dispatch. And the customers like to watch where we're going so they know they're not getting ripped off.
Driving a cab doesn't leave you with a lot of time for coffee breaks which is why I've been packing a thermos since day 1. It'll keep your coffee hot or your tea cold, whichever works best for you. Of course, too much coffee leads to more bathroom breaks, which brings us to the next item on the list.
Know Your Rest Areas
Some gas stations, restaurants, and convenience stores are more friendly towards cabbies than others. Some will even let you use the facilities without buying anything. I have a secret list of places all over the City for bathroom emergencies.
Call me old fashioned but I think wearing a watch while on shift is a must. I can't tell you how many times the clock in my cab has gone out and you're not supposed to look at your cell phone while in the car. Personally, I'm partial to tactical watches like those at http://militarywatchesreviewed.com/tactical/ because I never have to worry about them breaking, they have a bunch of alarms, and they look pretty awesome.

Sitting all day can really screw up your back. I have a good foam lower back support pillow recommended by my doctor that has changed my life. I used to have all sorts or soreness and cramping but since I started using it I feel like I'm 30 again. Try out a few different kinds to find the one that's best for you.
Art the Chess Player
I picked up a guy yesterday, his name was Art. He was 67 years old and it was his birthday last week. He hailed me at 83rd and Amsterdam and he wanted me to take him to Union Square Park. We got to talking and he tells me he used to drive a bus for the MTA. Did it for 18 years. That's how we got started, I told him I'd been driving a cab for 18 years. I used to have the 5pm to 5am shift, so at some point Art and I were on the streets at the same time back then.
I told him I probably honked at him a few times, Art replied he probably flipped me off a few times. We had a good laugh about it. Art retired five years ago, when his eyesight started to fade out some. Driving at night was tough and then the MTA told him he couldn't drive the bus anymore and they offered him a job behind a desk. He said no, he didn't have any interest in that. I certainly can't blame him.
I sold insurance for nine months, and I hated it. Stuck at a freakin desk for eight, nine hours. Wearing the same brown slacks, choking necktie, and surrounded by four walls that cooped me up like some kind of animal as I waited for the clock to hit 6:00 like I was back in high school and had a hot date after class. I wasn't all that good at selling insurance either. If you don't like doing something, people know it. They don't want to buy insurance from a guy who obviously doesn't want to be selling it.
Anyway, it started raining and traffic got backed up around Columbus Circle. I asked Art if he wanted to get out and catch the subway, but he just shook his head. He told me liked the conversation, didn't mind paying the extra fare. I shrugged. Asked him what he did for his birthday and he told me didn't do anything for his birthday. Just sat at home and watched the hockey game. When you're 67 years old, there aren't a lot of places left to go that you haven't already been. I caught his eye in the mirror and he looked like he was saying that just to convince himself it was okay just staying home.
I pried further because I've got a big mouth. I should have known better, 18 years doing this you learn to read people. Know when to engage, when to leave it alone. But there was something about Art, the look in his eyes, there was a lonely sadness in his face. I pried further and told him I hated hockey (which I do, it moves too fast and you can't see the damn puck). He said he hated it too but there was nothing else on at the time.
So then I asked him why he didn't make any plans, and he told me that he did but they fell through. His daughter was supposed to come into the city and go play chess with him. I asked what happened, Art told me she got tied up with work. She's a lawyer of some kind, not like a trial lawyer or anything like that, she was in maritime law. Deals with marine shipping, transport, salvaging, stuff on the water. She got called out of town to deal with some problem with a tanker down in Florida. So she had to cancel. She's not back yet and Art was obviously disappointed, but he understood.
So I asked him where he liked to play chess in town, and told him that I'm a pretty good player myself (which is true). I play down in Washington Square Park but I've started playing more in Union Square, because of all the construction noise recently. Art lit up, smiled. He told me liked to play at Village Chess. How about that. I've played there too. We started comparing notes. I asked him if he liked playing by the fountain Terrace at 6th in Bryant Park. He said he hadn't been over there but he was a member at Marshall over on 10th street.
That's not chump change either, membership over there is about $300 a year. I've thought about doing it but never have for whatever reason. Art says he taught his daughter how to play and every year on his birthday they play a game and go out to dinner. But not this year. I could tell he missed her and he wished it didn't have to be this way.
I asked him what he was doing in Union Square, he said he was going to get some lunch and then go to a movie. Then his eyes lit up and he asked me how much longer I've got driving the cab. I had a few hours left on my shift, he said that was too bad. It'd be fun to get a game in before he had to go eat. Art had just asked me to play chess. In all the years I've driven a cab, I've never had anyone ask me to join them in doing something. I was stunned. I had to think about it for a second.
Why not? The rain had let up. We could probably get a table easy since everyone had probably scrambled for shelter. I told Art I keep a set in the trunk. Art smiled, he pulled one out of the canvas bag he had in his lap.
I shut off the meter.
Operation Choke Point. Where Does it End?
You may have heard the news this week that J.P. Chase Morgan Bank has been closing the bank accounts of a lot of "adult entertainers" here in the city and across the country. It's all because of a DOJ mandate called "Operation Choke Point" and it's hurting legal businesses in an effort to clamp down on illegal practices that are preying on unsuspecting consumers by denying those shady operators access to simple banking services. It's an idea with good intentions but, as usual, poorly thought through and implemented and it's only hurting law-abiding Americans in the process.
That's right, I'm defending porn stars and here's why: I may not approve of the porn industry and everything it entails but I do know that it is a legal business and these girls who are claiming that banks like Chase, Bank of America, and more recently, the online service Paypal are closing down their accounts under over-reaching guidelines are being unfairly targeted. Morality and personal preference aside, pornography is still legal and protected under the First Amendment.
Here's a little about what Operation Choke Point is designed to do: it's a secretive plan on the part of the Department of Justice to crack down on around 30 specific industries, including payday lenders and online scams, by making it next to impossible for them to use traditional banking institutions in order to do business. The DOJ is insisting that these organizations close the accounts of individuals who are considered "high risk" of committing fraud and therefore deny them access to typical banking transactions.
But this program is receiving a lot of criticism from a number of experts in the field of finance, among them; Frank Keating, CEO of the American Bankers Association who believes that the DOJ is insisting that the banks "behave like policemen and judges", by making them "identify customers who may be breaking the law or simply doing something government officials don't like". Once they determine such offenders, the banks are then instructed, under penalty of heavy fines, to "choke off" that person's account.
Another outspoken critic of this newly-implemented practice is William Isaac, former head of the FDIC. He calls the program "way out of control" and says that there are 23 bipartisan members of Congress warning the DOJ that the program threatens legal businesses and threatens the well-being of the banks themselves.
There's so much wrong with this policy. Everything from invasion of privacy to excessive amounts of misplaced authority with institutions that don't deserve to have it. Porn stars should be able to make a living without being persecuted for their lifestyle choice. When the government can start to deem their lifestyle choices inappropriate, who's next? Should porn be outlawed?
That's not for me to decide, though I think there should be more stringent guidelines and harsher regulations for the production and distribution of such material; but until the day comes where it's considered illegal, then the banks have no right to close down their accounts.
Of course, the day pornography is completely outlawed may be the day where we as a country have shifted some other values beyond our morality. Freedom of expression, for one. But until that day comes, the Obama Administration needs to rethink its stance on their intent to punish honest, hard-working Americans for making a buck. It's not up to the DOJ to decide who's money is good and who's money is bad. It's all green to me.
The First Amendment Banned for Life in the NBA?
Before this week, you'd probably never heard the name Don Sterling unless you were a fan of the NBA. He's in the news for some comments he made to his girlfriend, in private, about his displeasure with her posting pictures of herself with black people on Instagram and bringing her friends of color to L.A. Clippers games. This woman he's been seeing recorded his comments without his knowledge and when they were released to the public last Saturday, well, as you might expect, it caused a nationwide firestorm.
His comments were ugly, reprehensible, and a lot of people got upset. His punishment by the league was swift and final; Sterling was banned for life by the NBA, fined the league maximum of $2.5 million, and, the greater punishment meted out: the Commissioner of the League, Adam Silver intends to rally the other owners to force Sterling to sell his team. Something he's already come out and said he ain't going to do.
The day his punishment made news, I picked up a guy who had a problem with the way the NBA reacted. He made a few comments that I hadn't thought about yet and they stuck with me long after I dropped him off outside the Smith and Wollensky's on 3rd. The guy asked me if I thought the whole thing was un-American. To tell you the truth, I hadn't considered it at the time. I mean, I sure as hell didn't agree with Sterling's comments, and I pretty much left it at that.
But there was another side of this story according to this guy, and that was the First Amendment. His argument was that we were missing the bigger picture here and that there were a few things in play that no one was giving much consideration. First off, Sterling has a long history of racist and sexist comments. He owns a bunch of property throughout Los Angeles, mainly apartment complexes, parking lots, things of that nature.
He paid out millions to settle housing discrimination lawsuits, and his comments about minorities living in his properties were just as controversial as the stuff he said on that tape over the weekend. This pattern of behavior is well documented, so why is the NBA doing something about it only now? Then this guy in back reminds me that these comments were made in private. If Don had no idea his so-called girlfriend was taping him, then that in itself is a crime in the state of California. That means it would be inadmissible in a court of law anyway. But go back to that other word for a second: private.
These were comments he made in the privacy of his own home. Despite how bad his comments were, he had an expectation that he was saying them in the comfort of his domain. What this guy was getting at was this: does Sterling deserve to lose his property because of an opinion he expressed, in private no less? Isn't he protected by the First Amendment, meant to preserve the sanctity of free speech? We got to the steakhouse before either of us could come up with a solution, if any was possible, but the conversation stuck with me throughout the rest of the day. Was the NBA out of bounds in violating one of our most cherished freedoms of the Constitution?
A few of my other fares talked about the ban but most of them agreed with the decision and thought Sterling was just a jerk who deserved what he got. None of them even brought up this concept that the very American idea of the First Amendment had perhaps been trampled on by the league When I got home I looked up just what the First Amendment actually provides for;
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
That one word: law. Congress can't make laws against free speech. That means the courts are out of it. The NBA is not the government, they're a governing body presiding over a business. So maybe Silver had the right by the governing laws of the business he manages to enact this punishment just fine. Here's what I know; if I had been caught making those same comments by my boss he'd fire my butt the next day.
The Government can't arrest Donald Sterling for being a racist, but the NBA can get rid of him if he's bad for business. And I think that's what's really happening here. The NBA needs to protect its brand. Un-American? The jury's still out on that one.
