Lee TCM on Grove Street by Marco and Pepe. Dr. Li is there on Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.

Let me guess. Driver ran a red?

Diversity and gun deaths. Anyone remember a town called Littleton Colorado?

"Hearsay" is defined as any out of court statement offered to prove the truth of the matter asserted in the statement. If you offer a statement that X said it was snowing to prove it was snowing, it's hearsay. If you offer the same statement to show X's mindset as to why he put on his boots before he went out it's not hearsay.

The general rule is that hearsay is inadmissible. However --- there are tons of exceptions to the general rule that hearsay is inadmissible. ANY statement against interest made by a defendant in a criminal matter is usually admissible, except if it coerced by police or was elicited without the usual Miranda warnings while the defendant was in custody.

Buying a Catholic school? Are you sure? Learning Community Charter School is negotiating to buy the building that was formerly St. Al's and then Caritas. Is there another Catholic school building on the market?

Yes, negligence. But negligence is not deliberate action. It's careless action.

My son, a junior at McNair, said the owner remembered each time the way my son liked his sandwiches.

So if they're off duty and they're home, you don't have a complaint? Or off duty and moonlighting in Hoboken, not an issue?

I guess I thought that if they're off duty but in JC in uniform they give the appearance of a greater police presences, which is actually a good thing.

oh well.

So then the issue is moonlighting - period - not the fact that it's 10 blocks away at a construction site?

Getting rid of the top of the food chain (Healy) is a good place to start to make sure we don't reach that tipping point.

I'm missing something about the "off duty cops" discussion.

If they're off duty, they're off duty. Whether they're making money at a construction site or sitting at home or at the track, they're off duty, right?

Or are you saying that police officers who are scheduled to work an 8-4 shift are actually protecting construction sites while they're on duty?

Tonight at Middle School #4, 7 pm

You have my vote on that.

Some friends took one of Celeste's evening classes and raved about it.

Steve, thanks for the update. Much appreciated.

The victim must have provoked the attack? From across the street?

The dogs were NOT taken away????? Is that it? Summonses???

Marco & Pepe is still my favorite restaurant (they've even learned to turn down the loud music!), with Madame Claude as a close second. My only complaint about Madame Claude (and I've told this to the owners who chuckled) is their tiny thick rimmed wine glasses. Since the place is BYO, I bring good wine. I've threatened to bring my own glasses next time.

Our thermostat is set to 68! Unless you've got elderly people in your building, 70 is unnecessary.

Have you checked out the Garden Preschool Cooperative at Hamilton Park? It was started by a group of downtown parents in 1995. Formerly located at Grove and York, it's now 1 McWilliams Place. They just had an open house yesterday, and application deadline for next year is Feb 16. Both my children went there.

How old is your daughter?

Affordable is such a relative term. Affordable for whom?

Oh, so just past tense at that location. Got it.

As for the name "Ethical Culture"....from Wikipedia

"Ethical Culture is a nontheistic religion established by Felix Adler in 1876. The Ethical Culture Movement is an ethical, educational, and religious movement. Individual chapter organizations are generically referred to as Ethical Societies, though their names may include "Ethical Society," "Ethical Culture Society," "Society for Ethical Culture," or other variations on the theme of "Ethical."

Ethical Culture is premised on the idea that honoring and living in accordance with ethical principles is central to what it takes to live meaningful and fulfilling lives, and to creating a world that is good for all. It is observed that ethics is at the heart of all religions. Practitioners of Ethical Culture focus on supporting one another in becoming better people, and on doing good in the world."

The outside is a barn compared to the apartments. Gorgeous space, amenities and views. Good friends just sold their place a few months ago. We spent our July 4th with them watching fireworks in the harbor. We're still in mourning.

Robin and simplegal

I do not believe that the school will be taking the Boys and Girls Club space. ... and why are you speaking of LCCS in the past tense?

What was she doing with cash? Why was she out at 11 pm? Reminds me of the good old days of rape prosecutions. Why was her blouse so tight? Why was her skirt so shirt? She must have been asking for it.

People who behave stupidly or thoughtlessly make themselves more vulnerable to crime but they're not "asking for it."

Not everyone can enter the car park...was the attacker driving?

So the Light Rail is responsible if a random crime happens at its station, but the city is not responsible if it happens 20 years away? How does this make sense? Do people sue the city when a crime occurs on Newark Avenue?

Whether or not we can "isolate" the mentally ill who might become dangerous has nothing to do with whether NJ Transit is any way legally or even morally liable for what happened here. Surely no one is suggesting that NJ Transit knew or should have known that this individual was a danger and did nothing to prevent the attack.

How about those of us who just walk?
