Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended

Alternate Side Parking Rules Suspended Thursday through Saturday, November 26-28 for Holiday Observance.

Because Thanksgiving Day is a major legal holiday, parking meter regulations are also suspended. On major legal holidays, stopping, standing, and parking are permitted, except in areas where stopping, standing, and parking rules are in effect 7 days a week (for example, “No Standing Anytime”). (Thursday Only!)

PLEASE NOTE: Friday and Saturday, November 27-28 are NOT major legal holidays. Parking meter regulations and all other parking regulations other than Alternate Side Parking will be in effect on Friday and Saturday, November 27-28.

Steps Taken to Reduce Mistakes on 911 Fire Calls in NY

The New York Times

Amid complaints about flaws in the city’s new 911 system, New York City’s Police and Fire Departments on Friday announced steps to reduce the likelihood of mistakes in handling emergency fire calls.

The agencies said Police Department workers who take 911 calls would consult with a Fire Department operator to ask questions and verify the accuracy of the information before sending a computer message to a fire dispatcher to put firefighters into action.

Testing Muscles and Minds

by Abby Kulawitz – The Justice

Peretz Chein seems like a traditional Chabad rabbi-except for the fact that he reads Maimonides teachings from his BlackBerry and runs marathons in his spare time.

On Oct. 25, Rabbi Peretz Chein, the rabbi and director of Chabad at Brandeis, ran the Cape Cod Marathon with the Chabad Brandeis Marathon Team. Five of the team’s members are current Brandeis students: Yoni Cohen ’10, Josh Jick ’12, Meir Krinsky ’11, Dan Litwok ’10 and Justin Meltzer ’11. Two alumni, Michael Kann ’81 and Aaron Voldman ’09, also ran with the team.
