LOL - You pay $4.99 delivery charge PLUS the price of the food.

The restaurant pays THIRTY PERCENT PLUS credit card charges.

If you move to BOMBAY you can get the meal you want delivered for $4.99

devilsadvocate, so if you want to legalize prostitution then tell the politicians to add that to the bill because YOU are the only person who mentions this and YOU are an IDIOT because I was referring to ILLEGAL PROSTITUTION that is NOT TAXED and puts women in danger

You sum up your position by saying that jobs in illegal prostitution in the craphole Greenville are a good thing? You are an IDIOT - where is the IDIOT BUTTON? I am going to move out of Jersey City to get away from IDIOTS like you.

You are acting like you dont care if Jersey City gets better or worse. My point is that a casino will do more harm than good in Jersey City and people should let Mayor Fulop, Governor Fulop and other politicians know that this is a BAD IDEA.

A casino in Jersey City is a desperate move by greedy politicians who were bribed with campaign contributions to get revenue for a bankrupt New Jersey.

Politicians will hit the jackpot but casinos also bring crime, drugs, drunks, prostitution, traffic, poverty, and huge ugly buildings behind the statue; are we going to protest this or what?

Every casino I have ever visited is windowless by design except for the REVEL which is out of business. So why not put this in East Orange, Newark, Paterson instead of turning Jersey City into a ghetto?

I urge you to call Mayor Fulop and demand he change his position and be AGAINST a casino outside of Atlantic City.

To those of you who like to gamble, download an app and play online, its legal in NJ!

Jon Leal built the 7-billion-gallon Jersey City reservoir in Boonton in 1899
#47
Home away from home
Home away from home


North Jersey 'revolutionary' put chlorine in drinking water

May 5, 2013, 9:43 AM
By RICHARD COWEN

EXCERPT:
As Paterson's public health officer, Leal began working with chlorine to disinfect houses where there were outbreaks of cholera and typhoid. He became convinced that the right amount of chlorine added to a reservoir could control bacteria and make the water safe to drink.

He got his chance to experiment after Jersey City decided to build a 7-billion-gallon reservoir in Boonton in 1899. By then, Leal had left Paterson to become the sanitary officer for the Jersey City Water Supply Co., which was hired to build the reservoir.

As part of the contract JCWSC had promised to supply "pure and wholesome" water, but the city was unhappy with the project and sued. A judge ultimately ordered JCWSC to consider "other plans or devices" to provide cleaner water. Leal moved forward with his plan to add chlorine.

In 1908, Leal hired a mechanical engineer, George W. Fuller, to construct a chlorination plant that went online in September 1908 at the Boonton Reservoir and has been operating ever since. Six months later, a chlorination plant was opened at the Little Falls treatment facility on the Passaic River.

McGuire said Leal took it upon himself to build the chlorination plants to prove to the court they would work. "It worked from Day One," McGuire said. "It was a tremendous accomplishment."

The results were almost immediate. Jersey City's death rate from typhoid fever was 20 per 100,000 people when the Boonton Reservoir opened in 1904. By 1910 the rate had been cut in half, and by 1925, it was near zero.

Forget The Hyperloop, Larry Page Wants Google To Build A Super-Efficient Airport The Rest Of The World Can Copy

With friends and colleagues, Mr. Page has talked about his desire to build an airport that would be more efficient than existing ones. For example, his argument against the hyperloop train-a concept for transporting people from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 30 minutes-is that planes are just as efficient; it's the airports that are the problem. (Other transportation experts have expressed similar views.) It's not clear how Mr. Page would go about building such an airport.

Apparently, Page wants to build a model airport to show the world how it could be done better. Efrati says Page also wants to build a model city.

It's all part of an initiative called "Google 2.0." Efrati reports that Page cleared out space on his floor of Google's headquarters a year ago, and asked 100 or so employees to help him figure out what huge problems in the world Google could solve.

Next Floor, the Moon: Space Elevator Going Up By 2050

By the year 2050, you may not need a rocket to reach the Moon, just an elevator.

Japanese construction firm, Obayashi Corp., announced this week that they?ll have a space elevator operational in the next 35 years or so.

Fundamental to the success of such a futuristic mode of transportation are carbon nanotubes. These cylinders of carbon atoms are so small, they cannot be seen with the human eye, but their tensile strength is almost a hundred times stronger than steel. The idea is to build a carbon nanotube cable between the Earth?s surface and the Moon and run magnetically levitating robotic cars up and down it.

Taking A Balloon Ride To The Edge Of Space: Photos

It would take about seven days to transport people or cargo along the 59,651-mile journey. That?s twice as long as it takes a spacecraft, but the cost would be significantly lower.

For example, it costs about $22,000 every .62 mile (1 km) to transport cargo into space. But a space elevator would reduce the cost for the same distance to just $200.

Several universities are working with Obayashi on the various parts. But everything hinges on the nanotube cable and at the moment, it doesn?t go very high above the Earth.

?Right now we can?t make the cable long enough. We can only make 3-centimeter-long nanotubes but we need much more? we think by 2030 we?ll be able to do it,? Yoji Ishikawa, a research and development manager at Obayashi told Tech Times.

Developing the elevator could lead to a boon in space tourism, an industry already growing thanks to private development of spaceflight. Each robotic car would carry 30 people to the Moon at once.

Let?s just hope they come equipped with bathrooms and some leg room.

Industry powers with access to TPP plans lavish money on Congress

RT.COM
Published time: January 18, 2014
http://rt.com/usa/congress-tpp-corporate-donations-802/

Operatives of top global corporations, which spend great amounts of cash to lobby Congress, are also part of a small group in the US outside the Obama administration that can access working plans on the controversial Trans-Pacific Partnership trade pact.

According to data analyzed by government transparency advocate MapLight, current members of Congress received around US$24 million in the last ten years from organizations represented on an exclusive industry board, created and staffed by Congress. This board has inside access - such as not even granted to members of Congress, much less the public - to the highly-secretive negotiations of the Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement, which promises to give powerful industry players more clout over global trade rights.

The United States is currently in negotiations with 11 other Pacific Rim nations on the lucrative trade pact known as theTrans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), which aims to liberalize trade among the signees. Among the contentious issues in the TPP is that the agreement stipulates new powers for multinationals that would allow them to challenge country laws in privately run international courts. Washington has endorsed such powers in previous trade deals such as the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), but conditions in the TPP could grant multinational more powers to challenge a wider range of laws. Under NAFTA several companies including Dow Chemicals and Exxon Mobil have sought to overrule regulations on fracking, oil drilling, and drug patents.

?The United States, as in previous rounds, has shown no flexibility on its proposal, being one of the most significant barriers to closing the chapter,? said a memo from one of the participating countries obtained by the Huffington Post.

Ultimately, the pact would give corporate entities much more influence over commerce, elevating ?individual foreign firms to equal status with sovereign nations,? consumer rights advocate Public Citizen says on its website.

Thus far in the multi-year negotiations of TPP, a small cadre of people have had open access to the working documents involved in the various sections of the trade pact. On the contrary, members of the US Congress, for example, must visit the offices of the United States Trade Representative to review the provisions. They are not allowed to bring anyone with them, nor can they make copies of any documents pertaining to the working agreement.

Yet aside from those in the Obama administration, only members of the United States Trade Representative?s advisory system, including the 18-member Industry Trade Advisory Committee on Intellectual Property Rights (ITAC-15), can freely access TPP negotiation documents on intellectual property.

Members of the ITAC-15 include representatives from companies like GE, Cisco Systems, Yahoo, Verizon, AT&T, and Johnson & Johnson, and entities such as the Recording Industry Association of America, Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, and the Biotechnology Industry Organization.

The ITAC-15 does not include public advocacy organizations, academics or any non-industry experts.

The industry trade advisory system was created and staffed by members of Congress. In fact, the ITAC-15 is made up of several top political spenders that have offered millions of dollars to influential Congress members in recent years, data organized by MapLight shows.

MapLight found that - from Jan. 1, 2003 to Dec. 31, 2012 - the 18 organizations that have representatives on the ITAC-15 gave almost $24 million to current members of Congress in that time period via political action committees, among other avenues that are legally required to be disclosed.

AT&T has given over $8 million to current members of Congress, more than any other ITAC-15 entities.

Republican House Speaker John Boehner has been given $433,350 from ITAC-15 organizations, more than any other individual in Congress.

Congressional Democrats have gotten $11.4 million from the organizations, while Republicans have received $12.6 million.

A handful of Congress members sponsoring legislation that would give the Obama administration more power over the congressional process of approving TPP - barring amendments to the pact, for example - have received a total of $758,295 from the ITAC-15 groups. These members include: Senate Finance Committee Chair Max Baucus ($140,601), Senate Finance Ranking Member Orrin Hatch ($178,850), House Ways and Means Committee Chairman David Camp ($216,250), House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Trade Chairman Devin Nunes ($86,000), and House Rules Committee Chairman Pete Sessions ($136,594).

Meanwhile, a new report released this week showed that US corporations spent $185 million in 2012 alone via nonprofit groups that are not legally required to divulge either their sources of funding or how they spend that money.

?Ranking among the biggest donors are energy giant Exelon Corp., health insurer WellPoint Inc. and technology titan Microsoft Corp.,? the Center for Public Integrity said in its findings.

?The millions of dollars in corporate expenditures highlighted by the Center for Public Integrity?s research flowed to more than 1,000 politically active nonprofits, from major trade associations such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce to pro-business alliances such as the Fix the Debt Coalition.?

Someone please provide a link where I can see the rates I will be charged with the old or new ambulance provider.
According to this NY Times article it is typically $1000 - $2000 for a ride to the hospital. This is ridiculous, I will remember to call a cab or limo instead of 911 when I need a doctor.

I don't have insurance and demand to know the prices in advance. How can I be in favor of any of the private ambulance providers without seeing how much they charge?

Activists Rally Against ?Hydro Fracking? Outside Of Chelsea Piers

http://newyork.cbslocal.com/video?aut ... No=default&clipId=9434184

Public Opinion On The Issue Remains Cautious
October 19, 2013 7:05 PM
CBS News

NEW YORK(CBSNewYork) ? A method of pulling natural gas from deep underground has faced increased scrutiny in New York State.

Governor Cuomo may have been feeling some of the heat on Saturday when hundreds of environmental activists gathered near Chelsea Piers, CBS 2?s Steve Langford reported.

The group chanted ?Hey, hey, Cuomo, Hydro fracking has got to go.? The chant was a reference to hydraulic fracturing a natural gas extraction method often referred to as fracking.

?We want him to make a decision that really protects the residents of the city and protects the farms and the water resources of the state,? Wenonah Hauter of Food and Water Watch said.

The riverfront setting was no coincidence, Governor Cuomo was scheduled to host a lunch at a restaurant inside of Chelsea Piers. Protestors even mobilized a pair of boats to face the waterfront venue.

Whether the message made it to the governor is another matter. He was not at the event on Saturday. Lunch organizers were told two weeks ago that the governor would not be able to attend.

The state has launched a health study on the potential impact of fracking .

?Any decision on hydraulic fracturing will be based on the science and the facts,? the Governor?s Office told CBS 2.

Protestors appeared unsatisfied.

?It doesn?t matter that the fracking isn?t happening because the infrastructure is happening,? Sane Energy Project?s Clare Donohue said.

On November 1, a pipeline under the Hudson River near Gansevoort Street will begin carrying fracked natural gas into Manhattan from Pennsylvania.

Despite objections from protestors Spectra Energy claims the project is safe.

?The New York, New Jersey expansion project was built to meet and, or exceed all federal safety regulations and requirements,? Spectra said.

Public opinion about fracking remains cautious.

?I think it does a lot of damage but I don?t really know if we have many other options at this point,? Kristin Leighton said.

Supporters of fracking say the practice would mean an economic boom to several upstate counties and help end American dependence on foreign oil.

Pending a decision by the governor the protestors have no plans to stop.
