Medical pot store opens in north NJ New Jersey’s first medical marijuana dispensary opened Thursday.

Greenleaf Compassion Center in Montclair was the first dispensary approved in the Garden State. The center is expected to serve the first 20 patients who registered for the drug.

In October, about 320 patients had registered with the program or were in the process. Five other Alternative Treatment Centers are in the process of receiving approval. METRO

A bumpy ride for skateboarding bill Philly councilman again tries to steer vandalism legislation with nod toward skateboarders He says that small but noticeable constituency has weighed in Councilman David Oh has gotten a lot of flack for a bill he introduced in May that would toughen penalties for those who vandalize public memorials on a skateboard, bicycle or roller blades.

But he’s resurrected an amended version of the legislation, which he calls a compromise worked out between the Nutter administration and skateboarders since its original incarnation was tabled in October following an outcry from Blackwell and others who felt it was needlessly harsh.

“We had about maybe 10 representatives from all different segments of the skate-

In the news China trip gives Nutter broader view Fresh off a five-day business trip to China, Mayor Michael Nutter called the trip a success that should raise the city’s

boarding community, including Franklin’s Paine and some of the others, and I basically kind of went through what I thought and what they thought,” Oh said.

Under the amended bill, skateboarding would be prohibited on public memorials that are clearly marked with a sign. The penalties would be lowered from the original proposed maximum of a $2,000 fine and 90 days in jail.

The amendments passed and the bill will come up for a final vote next week.

lion. He said he was impressed with the government’s investment in infrastructure and economic development, including a new port built off the coast of Tianjin in the middle of the ocean.

The Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, which is partially funded by the city, paid for the trip — which was roughly $9,000. METRO/SDL

Ride rails, not statues.

Compile a design checklist against which the city will review all transportation development projects to make sure they conform to the handbook’s provisions.

Ensure the fines, penalties and regulations of the city’s traffic code mirrors those set by the state, which includes prohibiting bike-lane parking, standardizing fines for bicycle traffic violations and eliminating a law barring bicyclists from riding two abreast.

Makes opening a car door into traffic a city traffic code violation.

Enough horsing around in city Councilman Bill Greenlee yesterday introduced a bill that would regulate city horse-owners. “First, it gives a very minimum area that the horse has to be housed on — a quarter acre — which isn’t that large. But believe it or not, some people keep horses in their backyard,” Greenlee said.

“And it sets certain regulations on the cleanup of the horses, the maintenance, the feeding of the horses.”

Quoted

“I think, for me certainly, seeing the kind of investment primarily being made by state-controlled entities or the Chinese national government … is a reminder of what our federal government could and should be doing to invest in cities.”

The former two-term governor is the only Republican in Florida history to be reelected as governor. “The National Constitution Center’s mission to improve civic education and engagement and inspire active citizenship is filling a critical void in our country,” Jeb Bush said. “I will do my best to advance the Center’s mission and continue the vision set forth by President Clinton’s leadership these last three years.”

Therapist declined confinement for Aurora shooter DENVER. A psychiatrist who treated accused Colorado theater gunman James Holmes rejected a law enforcement offer to involuntarily confine him for 72 hours after he told her six weeks before the shooting that he fantasized about killing “a lot of people,” the Denver Post reported yesterday.

Citing an unnamed source, the newspaper said that Holmes made the remark to his therapist, Lynne Fenton, on June 11. But when a University of Colorado police officer asked whether to detain Holmes on a psychiatric hold, Fenton said no.

A psychiatric hold is usually involuntary hospitalization for mental health evaluation.

US household wealth reaches 2007’s high The net wealth of U.S. households rose in the third quarter to its highest since late 2007, providing a hopeful sign for future consumer spending.

Net financial wealth grew $1.72 trillion to $64.77 trillion, the Federal Reserve said on Thursday.

That left household wealth $1.2 trillion short of where it stood in the fourth quarter of 2007, just as the economy was sinking into a severe recession.

Wealth peaked at $67.3 trillion in the third quarter of that year.

Rising home prices helped drive the increase in the latest quarter. The value of real estate owned by households rose about $300 billion, the Fed said.

Stock holdings climbed by about $520 billion.

Increases in wealth could make consumers feel more comfortable spending their money. Many economists think consumers spend a few cents of

The data, part of the Fed's quarterly Flow of Funds report, also showed Americans continued their four-year effort to shed debt.

Households cut debt at a 2 percent annual rate in the third quarter, the steepest drop since the second quarter of 2011.

GETTY IMAGES

‘A Different Kind of Christmas’

Product and J Bill’s “It Seems Like We Forgot” for some of the most festive holiday hip-hop since Run DMC’s “Christmas in Hollis.”

Various artists

Naughty: You’re probably not familiar with many of the artists on these 23 tracks. Audio Stepchild?

Renzo Charlez? Freshwadda Brooks? Have all of these great hip-hop artists been hiding on the North Pole until now?

Nice: This comp comes courtesy of Hoopla Worldwide/LRT/ INgrooves Fontana, all imprints we had also never heard of before now. But some of the participants have affiliations with Parliament Funkadelic and Nappy Roots. The beats here mostly

‘Isn’t This World Enough??’

Various Artists

have a G-Funk feel with little samples of carols thrown in and the rhymes are super positive.

Check out 1st Blood and Buffalo Stille’s “Some Kentucky Bourbon on Christmas Eve” and Da

Naughty: The problem with this post-record industry climate is that there aren’t enough Scroogey label CEOs to say, “Yer holiday song stinks!” Therefore, this 14-song comp from Nettwerk has a few stinkers from Ash Koley and Jay Brannan. Bah humbug!

Nice: The title track, by the

Admiral Fallow

Scottish six-piece Admiral Fallow might not be the most obvious holiday song (sample lyric: “You don’t need to hang your hat on belief in bumper stickers”) but there’s something classic about it that makes it malleable, the way

that “Put a Little Love In Your Heart” kind of became a holiday staple after its use in “Scrooged.”

Also worth noting: This comp kicks off with a rockin’ Fun. tune!

‘Silver & Gold: Songs for Christmas, Vols. 6-10’ Sufjan Stevens

Naughty: Is Sufjan Stevens trying to take up all our free time this season? Sure, this is a gorgeous collection of 58 holiday-ish tracks (we say “ish” because how is Prince’s “Alphabet Street” a holiday song?)

Nice: There are a few songs on here that are the sonic equivalent of sugar plums dancing in your head. Draw the curtains, plug in your tree and zone out to the beautifully textured 10-minute plus opuses “Christmas Unicorn” and “The Child with the Star on His Head.”

Sufjan Stevens is happier about the holidays than this photo might lead you to believe.

Continued from page 10

‘Cheers, It’s Christmas’ Blake Shelton

Naughty: His role as a coach on “The Voice” has earned Blake Shelton a new base of fans who wouldn’t ordinarily like his brand of country music. That said, if you don’t ordinarily like his brand of country music, you won’t like this album.

Nice: Shelton is such a likable personality that this is highly tolerable stuff. Plus, he handpicked some of the most likable sidekicks to guide his sleigh, like Reba, Kelly Clarkson, his wife Miran-da Lambert and the king of palatable Christmas charisma, Michael Buble, who co-wrote one of the songs here. Basically, the cover pic of Shelton in front

of the fireplace says it all: It’s oldfashioned, steeped in tradition, comfortable and not exactly cool.

‘Holidays Rule’ Various artists

Naughty: Another compilation that starts with a song by Fun. — the “We Are Young” trio have spread themselves too thin for the holidays. With their track, they take a “Sleigh Ride” down Broadway and make an illadvised turn into ‘80s territory.

Rufus Wainwright and Sharon Van Etten also deserve a lump of coal for their empty version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside.”

PAT HEALY

pat.healy@metro.us

Nice: This one delivers the most bang for your buck. The Shins run McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” through a Beach Boys filter and turn it into something great. McCartney himself is on here too. Other great performances include Calexico, Eleanor Friedberger and Andrew Bird.

‘Sounds of the Holidays Vol. One’ The Polyphonic Spree

Naughty: The Spree are known for having 20 members, but leader Tim DeLaughter doesn’t maximize the potential of all of his choral worker elves here.

Nice: “Silver Bells” is a dreamy 7minute symphony that captures the exhausting wonder of the season through a child’s eyes.

WEEKEND, DECEMBER 7-9, 2012

Looking good, Philly More than 1,800 photographers snapped away in the name of Philly Photo Day The verdict is in: We’re quite the photogenic city

Robert Cocozza’s photograph is just one of more than 1,800 on view at the Photo Arts Center (1400 N. American St.).

On Oct. 26, more than 1,800 photographers aimed their cameras at Philadelphia with a simple goal: documenting one moment of one slightly overcast fall day. And while the city didn’t necessarily sit still and smile on Philly Photo Day — that’s never quite been her style, even on special occasions — there did seem to be something a little different in the air.

“They’re all upbeat — they’re all very celebratory,” says Sarah Stolfa, executive director of the Philadelphia Photo Arts Center, of the photographs. “Even if they’re not of the most beautiful or idyllic scenes, there’s a sense that they’re all very hopeful about what they’re looking at.”

Through Dec. 28, every single entry — from a quiet shot of the morning sun rolling through an empty gymnasium to portraits of late-night food cart feasts — is on display at the Photo Arts Center’s gallery in Northern Liberties.

Later this month, more than 200 of the submissions will make their way on to buses,

Quoted

“They’re all upbeat — they’re all very celebratory. Even if they’re not of the most beautiful or idyllic scenes, there’s a sense that they’re all very hopeful about what they’re looking at.”

STOLFA

trains and billboards, prompting even more would-be photographers to take a fresh look at the city.

“If you’re sitting on a bus or sitting on a subway underground, getting a glimpse of the outside world, of something green, that can change where your thoughts go,” says Stolfa.

Listen up to winter deal of Ben Revere

3

GETTY IMAGES

Listen my children and you shall hear of the winter trade of Ben Revere.

Too cliche? Yes, it is. But the Phillies made a bold statement at baseball’s Winter Meetings Thursday by dealing for center fielder Ben Revere.

The 24-year-old has been compared favorably to a young Juan Pierre.

While he has no power (no home runs in 1,064 plate appearances), Revere brings a solid bat (.294), speed (40 steals) and a stellar glove.

More importantly, he isn’t arbitration-eligible until 2014.

Revere is expected to bat at the top of the order, either lead-off or in the two-hole.

“Ben is an outstanding, young, controllable center fielder who fits nicely with our club,” said GM Ruben Amaro Jr. The Phils had to lose some

WEEKEND, DECEMBER 7-9, 2012

Third wheel The Phils also have a deal on the table to acquire Texas 3B Michael Young.

Young owns a no-trade clause and the Phils were waiting on a final decision from the third baseman.

Young, 36, had the worst year of his career in 2012 hitting .277 with eight homers and 67 RBIs. He’s batted better than .300 seven times in his career and won the 2005 AL batting title.

valuable assets to attain Revere.

The team parted ways with right-handed starter Vance Worley (18-13, 3.50 ERA in 46 career starts for the Phillies)

Foles

Nick Foles can’t chalk up his next turnover as a rookie mistake. Those are for rookies, and Foles is no longer a rookie, according to his coaches.

“All of this progressing and all of that is over now. We are no longer rookies, that’s done,” said offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg. “We expect to play at a high level consistently. Now, having said that, he sure does some things quite naturally.”

Foles will make his third consecutive start Sunday in Tampa Bay after the Eagles lost Mike Vick to a concussion.

Foles has been tabbed as the starter for the rest of this sea-

son and maybe 2013.

“His challenge is to play at a high level like he’s shown that he can play and make it a really consistent deal over a period of plays and a period of plays over a ball game,” Mornhinweg said.

Foles has a chance to rack up some numbers Sunday, since the Bucs rank last in the NFL in pass defense.
