Any local dermo you can recommend?

How much does it cost to remove a "freckle" for the uninsured?

Bad news: LSP is massively contaminated with hexavalent chromium. Most skin contact will create an immune response (ie, rash)

Good news: It's totally tasteless, so you were probably just inhaling dusted up goose poo.

Xerxes- you are a crazy loser.
I too only allow clean cut 20 somethings, hopefully, this will eliminate people like you.
Owning a older building, in this red-tape city + depreciating market is hard enough....let alone allowing losers in your property, that are iching for a way to beat you.

Public service announcement: If you don't go to a dermo for a screening, you're asking for trouble.

I never thought I'd have any problem, being darker skinned. I'm relatively young. I've had several things the dermo didn't like taken off of me. It's painless. It takes almost no time.

I only bring up my situation to illustrate the point- I'm pretty stupid, overall, and would have never gone to the dermo unless i had a conversation with someone who just went berzerk and insisted that I go- maybe it would have been fine, or maybe I would have been really sorry 15-20 years from now. I'll never know, because all that crap is gone now & I get screened every year or so.

Just go.

Skin cancer is so simple to deal with if you catch it early- it's almost a non-event. If you don't catch it early, there is absolutely nothing they can do for you. Pretty steep run up on the old "how big a deal is this" curve. Goes from "not really a big deal" to "the biggest deal of your life" fast.

Who cares were someone says that it happened. The fact of the matter is that an innocent girl was attacked by a pervert.

Stop living in your little bubble, a child was almost raped by a pervert and your worried about the exact section of the city, it happened in your CITY, isn't that enough.

The air's not safe to breathe anywhere around here. Have you seen how much soot will collect on porch furniture in a week?

I went to APW, and I think the most overwhelming note in the churned up LSP soil was that of goose shit. Unpleasant, but not gonna kill ya any more than usual.

I mentioned this on the APW thread, but I think it's important enough to have a thread of it's own.

With the soil in LSP being disturbed recently, I wonder if there's any danger breathing the air there. Is anyone else concerned?

Lopez and Vega would still win a do-over election. I don't think most JC-ites know enough or care enough about the charges against them. In their wards they are simply known as "one of us", which is good enough.

If only the Port Authority would install the seats that flip up at rush hour as the MTA has proposed / tested. There would be a lot more room and then we wouldn't need to argue about giving up seats to old women and perverts.

This would be good at the WTC PATH station at least for those that go to Exchange Place from there because both train routes go to Exchange which is the first stop along the route.

"Unclean" Elections & Nidia Lopez
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


There's nothing like Hudson County politics
by Paul Mulshine/ The Star-Ledger
August 06, 2009 5:38AM

In 1927, the great physicist Werner Heisenberg described a set of interactions among subatomic particles that has come to be known as the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

The principle itself is quite complicated, but the popular interpretation is simple: The act of measuring an activity can cause a distortion in the activity being measured.

This does not apply to all activities. But it certainly seems to apply to Jersey City politics. The effort by the FBI to gauge the extent of political corruption there may have had an effect on the election at issue.

That was the theory I heard from Bruce Alston Tuesday evening after a lively demonstration outside city hall. The demonstrators were calling for the resignations of politicians caught up in the probe. That includes City Council President Mariano Vega, who was charged with taking $30,000 in bribes and Mayor Jerramiah Healy, who was not charged but who was mentioned prominently in the complaints for his attendance at some of the seances sponsored by the FBI.

Alston is a community activist from a ward with a large African-American population that he says is underserved by the members of the Healy-led ticket that swept to victory in May. That election might have turned out differently if the victors hadn't had access to all of those bags of cash that were exchanged at those meetings with an FBI informant posing as a developer, Alston said.

"The FBI funded their campaign with the sting money," said Alston.

That certainly wasn't what the feds intended, but Alston and his fellow reformers have a point. There's no way of knowing how much of the money that went to a dozen suspects with Jersey City connections ended up in the victors' campaign fund.

This being Jersey City, however, some of the losers are accused of cashing in as well. The most interesting case involves council candidate Jimmy King, who is alleged to have accepted $10,000. King has one of those resumes that defines him as the consummate Hudson County hack. The complaint describes him as the "former executive director of the Jersey City Parking Authority, the former chairman of the Jersey City Incinerator Authority," who "also served as a Hudson County undersheriff." Despite those impressive credentials, King finished second in the race for a Ward C council seat to Nidia Lopez. Lopez was heralded as the first Hispanic woman elected to the Jersey City Council. Unfortunately, she seems to have also been the first Florida resident elected to the Jersey City Council. After the election results were announced, it was revealed that Lopez has been claiming Florida residency for the past 10 years to get a tax break on her home in Orlando.

When King learned of the news, he promptly filed a lawsuit demanding to have her disqualified on the grounds she's not a Jersey City resident. King now has more important matters on his hands, so he dropped the suit. But the third-place finisher in the race is picking the suit up. Norrice Raymaker filed yesterday to continue the suit to have Lopez's victory tossed out.

Raymaker is with the One Jersey City coalition, a reform group that ran five unsuccessful candidates in the elections. The campaign manager for that group, April Kuzas, told me that they were at a severe disadvantage in the May elections because they don't take money from developers -- either real developers or FBI informants posing as developers.

"Our entire campaign fund was only about $17,000," Kuzas said. "Imagine what we could do if we had twice the money." That still wouldn't amount to much by Hudson County standards. Even worse for reformers, Jersey City has a nonpartisan system with elections in the spring instead of the fall. Turnout is low, so those who either have city jobs or want them can have a disproportionate impact at the polls.

The result, say the reformers, is that the city is run for the benefit of the political machine rather than the public. The big developers continue to get tax abatements while the people pay high taxes yet fail to get such essential services as police protection. And now their city has been made a national laughingstock thanks to what looks to be the most corrupt campaign in recent American political history.

So the reformers are right to demand a do-over. Unfortunately there's no provision for that in the law. The best they can hope for at the moment is a special election or two, depending on how the case against Vega and the suit against Lopez proceed.

If those elections occur, they will no doubt be cleaner than the last round. But regardless of who wins, he or she will have to face the Hudson County Certainty Principle: You can predict with certainty that the machine will just keep humming along, fueled by our tax dollars.

Your attack on Brewster was so out of line it makes you look pathetic. Brewster brings alot to this forum, you on the other hand just scare me.

about 30% of what your saying may be true. FYI there are plenty of 5 plus unit buildings in JC that are market rate. many gut renovations that never went condo are actually way above market.

JC landlords beware of nut jobs like this. Something tells me that when you were a child your parents charged you rent.

Bergen Lafayette: Tale of 17yo escaping sex attack leads to Detroit Fried Chicken manager's arrest
Home away from home
Home away from home



View Larger Map 17-YEAR-OLD GIRL -- Tale of escaping sex attack leads to man's arrest: police Thursday, August 06, 2009 By MICHAELANGELO CONTE JOURNAL STAFF WRITER A 17-year-old Jersey City girl told police she escaped from the apartment of a man who was fondling her on Monday by biting his hand and then picking up her 4-year-old brother and running home, officials said. The alleged fondler, Messan Milevor, 21, of Bayview Avenue in Jersey City, made his first appearance in court yesterday on the charges of criminal sexual contact and simple assault. Milevor appeared via video link from the Hudson County jail in Kearny. Central Judicial Processing Court Judge Richard Nieto told him he was charged with grabbing "certain parts" of the victim's body during an assault and also striking her about the face and neck. The victim applied for a job at Milevor's place of employment, Detroit Fried Chicken on Bidwell Avenue, and when she ran into him there on Monday she asked why he never called about the job, Hudson County First Assistant Prosecutor Debra Simon said yesterday. The victim was with her 4-year-old brother and Milevor brought them to his home, Simon said. In the house, he touched her breasts and wanted to have sex with her, but she said she didn't want to, Simon said. Milevor then hit her and she bit him before breaking away and running home with her brother, Simon said. The victim called police and yesterday was taken to the fried chicken restaurant, where she identified Milevor as her attacker, Simon said. Milevor, a native of Togo, was told in court that an immigrations detainer would likely be placed on him and he may face deportation. If convicted, Milevor would have to serve any sentence meted out before being deported.

Journal Square Escalators
Newbie
Newbie


Once again this morning, one of the escalators at Journal Square was out of service. By my unscientific estimates, that would make this the ONE MILLIONTH time this has happened in the past four years.

I've never seen escalators needing so much service (and I've seen some heavily used and ancient escalators - Moscow, Paris, London, etc). So, does anybody have any idea why the JSQ escalators need so much work? Honestly, it's like 7 times a month.

Are all the escalators in the other PATH stations so pitiful?

Downtown Jersey City Scholarship Fund used to divert funds meant to educate poor kids

Pleads to diverting funds meant to educate poor kids

Thursday, August 06, 2009
By MICHAELANGELO CONTE
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

A Jersey City man has pleaded guilty to stealing funds meant for children's education by defrauding a school district that deposited $53,000 into his Downtown Jersey City Scholarship Fund to buy curriculum materials, officials said.

Thomas M. Kelly, who pleaded guilty to one count of fraud on July 28, was executive director of the nonprofit New York-based Community for Education Foundation when he formed the DJCSF, according to the federal indictment.

The fund's stated aim was providing scholarships to students from low-income families so they could attend private schools, but federal officials say it was part of a scheme Kelly used to line his pockets.

In October 2007, a public school district described only as being not in the state of New York, contacted the CEF and ordered $53,100 in curriculum materials, the indictment says.

But on Nov. 27, 2007, Kelly sent a fax from the CEF office telling the school district to deposit the money instead into the DJCSF account, falsely telling them it was a CEF account, the indictment says.

The DJCSF was not recognized as a tax-exempt organization, did not have its own tax identification number and Kelly set up and controlled the account and used the funds in the account for his personal benefit, the indictment says. Of the $53,100 deposited, Kelly was charged with diverting $38,000 to himself, the indictment says.

Federal officials could not provide the name of the school district last night nor could they say if the curriculum materials were ever provided to the district.

A spokeswoman for the Jersey City Department of Education said last night that she did not know if the Jersey City school district is the one referred to in the indictment but that she would try to find out.

Kelly pleaded guilty in federal court in Manhattan before District Court Judge Denise L. Cote, and she is scheduled to sentence him on Oct. 30 at 2 p.m. The statutory maximum sentence faced by Kelly is 20 years in prison.

Kelly pleaded guilty to the second count of a two count indictment. The first count charged him with organizing a dinner at a restaurant in Jersey City to benefit the DJCSF, resulting in $55,000 being deposited into that account.

The first count alleged that between April 2007 and February 2008, Kelly diverted most of the $55,000 to himself and a person described only as "Individual -1," the indictment said.

Kelly did not plead guilty to the first count of the indictment, and it is expected to be dismissed at his sentencing.

Healy's had 2 removals of skin cancer

Thursday, August 06, 2009
By AMY SARA CLARK
JOURNAL STAFF WRITER

Jersey City Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy yesterday confirmed that he recently underwent two operations for skin cancer on his nose.

"The doctors got it in time, it is not melanoma and the prognosis is excellent," Healy said in a statement.

The first surgery was on July 22 and the second on July 29, said his spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill. Cancer was removed from two areas on his nose, she said.

Neither spot fell into the category of melanoma, an extremely dangerous form of skin cancer, Morrill said.

This isn't Healy's first bout with skin cancer, which Morrill said was the result of "years of exposure to the sun during his youth."

Healy has had "several other small spots removed from his back, chest, neck and head over the past two years," Morrill said.
