1. Increased Sunday service. Increased might not be the right word, considering the Port Authority recently decreased Sunday service to once every 20 min on all lines.

But once every 20 min is intolerable. The trains are PACKED, esp the JSQ to 33rd line. Once every 10 or 15 min is the minimum.

2. Some kind of accountability for the endless delays, which alternate between "track conditions" and "signal problems."

3. Increased weekend night service. Maybe from once every 35 min to once every 20 min.

Yvonne, when you were talking with your husband about who your children would look like, did you also discuss whether they would be have characteristics of your husband's Caucasian heritage or your mixed race? Since you like to quote the bible:


The Old Testament Law commanded the Israelites not to engage in interracial marriage (Deuteronomy 7:3-4).

Genesis 28:1: "And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan."
Leviticus 19:19: "Ye shall keep my statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind?
Deuteronomy 22:9: "Thou shalt not sow thy vineyard with divers seeds: lest the fruit of thy seed which thou hast sown, and the fruit of thy vineyard, be defiled."

Will this, at long last, make you think about your hatred of those not like you? As Pope Francis said about gay people in his church, "Who am I to judge?" If you think yourself more holy, more Christ-like than the Pope, I'd like to understand why.

Yvonne doesn't really care what the Bible has to say about gays. Neither do any of the "believers" who rationalize their bigotry by pretending it's their legitimate religious beliefs.

If Yvonne and the others really cared about what the Bible instructs, she'd be all in support of the following:

"However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way."

Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT

Once Yvonne and the others demand that the country accept slavery as part of her "freedom of religion" and "religious beliefs," then I'd consider her a true believer. But these people don't have true religious objections to gay marriage. Instead, gays disgust them so they try to legitimize their disgust behind religion.

So if you could affordably clone your pet so they can start life over again, would you?

How about Booker is not good but Lonegan is epically awful, so many informed voters have no real choice? I don't understand how the republicans can't seem to put out a decent candidate, but this seems to be a recurring trend.

The hard copy I am looking at has the Saturday service for the WTC line as every 15 min from 7:27 am to 11:42 pm. I think that's what it is now.

Saturday service for JSQ to 33rd is every 15 min from 7:46 am to 9:46 am, then every 10 min from 9:57 am to 11:57 pm. Is this improved service? I think it is because going once every 10 min till 11:57 seems later than usual.

But for those of us who take the WTC line on Sunday, the service cutbacks have been noticeable and incredibly annoying. It is really going to hurt to have the same reduction for the 33rd st line.

As for the reasons for decreasing Sunday service on a line that is always packed, there are three.

1. Because they can.
2. **** you.
3. To save money that is better wasted elsewhere, such as their most recent incident where they "overpaid" $60 million for insurance premiums. And got nothing in return.

Re: Acupuncture Referral

I was experiencing frequent upper back/shoulder pain for a long time and I bought home acupuncture products to see how they worked. They were incredibly effective, and virtually cleared up the pain.

Maybe they will help some people here. It's a lot more convenient and cheaper than going to an acupuncturist every week.

I used both the mat and the pillow, but if you only have lower back pain I think the mat would be all you need.

Doesn't this suggest the Police didn't make a comment - I read nowhere the police are charging the kid for anything.

This is still a kid, no gang affiliation or criminal record - What the kid did was unquestionably wrong but the school handled it extremely poorly as well ... in my opinion.

The school could have simply said the investigation uncovered that the nature of racist remarks where unfounded and reframe from making further comments.

If the school is so disgusted or outraged by this kids behavior, why don't they expel him from the school or sue for damages?



If this school did that, then everyone would be asking what exactly happened? What are they covering up?

This is much better because now we know the truth. And all the school did was confirm what the police source told the JJ anyway.

Apparently there's been an epidemic of this type of behavior in New Jersey schools recently. Wonder what's going on?

I still believe the school could have handled it much much better instead of the media circus it will create.

A no comment statement would have null / voided or reduced any further news reports.

Once again its a sad situation, but it's a kid that probably doesn't have a criminal history that made a VERY poor judgement call.

I'm not even sure if a crime has been committed here and Police haven't charged the kid for anything, yet the actions by the school to confirm the information still remains in my eyes, as unprofessional and compounded the problems for this kid.


Sorry, please read better next time.

From the article: "said school spokesman James Horan, who confirmed the result of the probe after its disclosure by a police source."

When something is confirmed after being disclosed by a police source, here's how it went.
1) disclosed by a police source to the JJ
2) newspaper calls the school and says hey we heard this is how it went, can u confirm?
3) school confirms.

If you are going to bash anyone here, don't bash the school. Bash the kid who was so starved for attention/wanted to cry RACISM so badly that he made up the entire incident. Should be arrested for filing a false police report and wasting police time and taxpayer money.

I was involved in a car accident in Pennsylvania several years ago that was my fault. The cop who responded to the scene breathalyzed both me and the driver whose car I hit. We both blew 0.00.

I thought it was standard procedure to breathalyze drivers involved in a car accident. It only takes a second and it can tell you a lot.

4. Harrison is a rapidly growing station with some 10,000 housing units planned for the area around the station, as well as the Red Bulls soccer stadium; a new station is necessary to accommodate the number of people.

5. Transit stations are places people spend a huge amount of time. They should not be ugly, they should be well designed and well thought out. Think about spending 10 minutes a day, five days a week coming and going from a structure. Thats hours a year you spend in a place and you want it to be ugly? Come on. The aesthetics are a nominal cost added to necessary renovation.


I think most people would prefer to get the essentials in order before moving to the fluff. So increasing service on the pathetic JSQ/33rd Street line so it isn't mobbed literally any time of day. Having overnight service go more frequently than once every 35 minutes. And having more frequent weekend trains.

Once that's taken care of, then go ahead and make random stops not so ugly. But as another poster pointed out, increasing service doesn't provide an opportunity for the Port Authority to hand plum contracts to their fatcat friends.

How do you give someone who leaves the scene a breathalyzer test? Let's stay with the facts here. No, I'm not a "cop"...but I don't like to generalize about any groups. I think it's a bad idea. Also, until breathalyzers are law, let's not take a stand that there was foul play because he wasn't given one. Would an 80 year-old likely be given one? I just like to stick to the facts as they are revealed.


Christine, here's the problem. Judging from the indictment, it looks like the "facts" as originally reported were wrong or incomplete. He was indicted for "leaving the scene of a motor vehicle accident resulting in death."

The original article just says that they talked to the cop on the scene. It makes no mention of him leaving. In fact, the article makes it seem like he never left at all.

"Spolizino, who was driving a 2005 Chevrolet, told officers at the scene that he did not see Clifford crossing the street and that Clifford "came out of nowhere," the accident report said."

Obviously, this is a lie or distortion of the truth, because this cop was indicted for leaving the scene. Is this evidence of cops covering up by lying to the reporter? Did the reporter simply choose to omit the crucial detail that this cop killed someone and left the scene of the accident? The article quotes the accident report. Is this part of a coverup by the investigating cops writing the report in a way to hide the fact that this guy left the scene?

Either way, Christine, that answers your question. You can give someone who leaves the scene a breathalyzer because it looks like he left the scene and then returned. You mean to tell me that the cops arrive on the scene, find a dead body, the driver returns, and it's not necessary to give him a breathalyzer, or even any tickets??

Now a trial will reveal what exactly this cop was doing when he left the scene. They can subpoena his phone records and see who he was calling or texting. Was he calling his cop buddies? Once we find out that answer, if it's yes, that will strongly point to a cover up.

So while it's true that we don't know all the answers yet, it doesn't look good for the cop. Next time, he can try not to kill someone when driving, not leave the scene, and maybe he'll get some more sympathy from people.

No one thinks a car accident alone is a crime. But it is a crime to kill someone and leave the scene of the accident.

Literally nobody here is wondering why the cop wasn't treated as a criminal for "speeding" or "careless driving." The shocking thing is how a guy who killed someone and leaves the scene of an accident wasn't even breathalyzed. And 95% of the population don't kill people when they drive.

Of course, any regular person would be breathalyzed if they killed someone in an accident. And they'd certainly at least be given a ticket or arrested for leaving the scene. But cops look out for themselves, so this guy was never given a breathalyzer, and basically got off scott free when the police came. The only reason anything even happened is because there was outrage and there's almost certainly videotape of the incident. Cops will cover for cops by not giving them breathalyzers, but they won't destroy a videotape.

Do you really not understand that or are you just a cop yourself (or closely connected to one)?

Someone said this happened at a red light camera intersection.

Wouldn't be surprised if the cops did everything they could to cover up for a fellow cop (after all, they didn't give him a breathalyzer, which is standard procedure in a fatal accident). But had no choice but to indict because the video is just too damning.
