We open with David staring blankly at a house that is supposed to be his but with no memory of it. His wife Kathryn tries to reassure him. She tells him he had the same look on his face when they bought the place. He couldn't get past the ugly windmill on the lawn. When she asks him if he remembers what changed his mind all that David can come up with is, "Well… I see the wind mill's gone?" She takes his hand and leads him into a welcome home party with people he doesn't recognize. David shakes hands and is glad-handed, all by strangers. He runs into Dr. Whale who tells him the party is good for him because the smallest thing can trigger his memories. Emma and Henry are sitting in a quiet corner. Henry is trying to convince Emma that David is not remembering because the curse is not working on him yet. She just thinks it's amnesia, Henry explains, "Which is preventing the curse from replacing his Fairy Tale story with fake memories." Emma, "Right, because everyone here has a fake stories that prevents them from remembering who they really are?" Now they just have to get him to remember that he's Prince Charming by getting him and Mary Margaret together. David interrupts and is disappointed to learn that Mary Margaret is not coming. In the kitchen, Kathryn laments to Regina the fact that she has her husband back but it's like she still doesn't have him back. Regina opens up, shares that she lost someone once but there is no bringing him back. Kathryn thanks Regina for being such a good friend. Regina is surprised and seems genuinely touched by this. When Kathryn looks for David in the crowd, he's gone.
Mary Margaret is outside on her lawn when David shows up, surprising her. He tells her that they have a connection and he knows she feels the same. Mary Margaret tells him there is nothing there because he's married. David says whoever married Kathryn is not him, "I didn't choose her. I'm choosing you." Mary Margaret is conflicted, wanting to go along but stopping herself. She tells David maybe he just feels that way because she happened to be the one that saved his life, "Why don't we just leave it at that?"
In Fairy Tale Land we find Prince Charming decked out in armor with sword in hand. He's in a fierce battle, fighting for his life against an eight-foot tall behemoth. Clad in black armor with huge double-sided spear. The Behemoth battles Charming, furiously pressing the attack until it catches Charming with his spear and throws him over his head. Charming lands and plays possum. When the behemoth gets close Charming springs into actions and kills it. He drives his sword into the behemoth's chest, "Next time make sure I'm really dead."
A victorious Charming turns around to clapping from a crowd of knights and noblemen. One of them being his father, King George, and the other being a nobleman dressed in gold with his right hand covered in gauntlet. The nobleman is impressed with Charming's handy work but wonders if his up to the challenge of dispatching a dragon that's been plaguing his kingdom. Charming and his father reassure him that Charming can kill anything. King George says that his kingdom needs gold and that they'll be able to work something out for his son's services. The nobleman takes his gauntlet off and turns Charming's sword into gold. Yup, this is King Midas. King George and King Midas walk off with their noblemen to discuss their arrangement. Charming stays and address his knights on the task before them and starts to brag about killing the behemoth when a spear explodes out of his chest. The wounded behemoth leans up, spear in hand, not dead! But now Prince Charming is.
King George grieves over the body of his dead son, Prince Charming. A burley knight approaches the king, tells him there is no time to grieve. If Midas finds the out the Prince is dead, he'll find another warrior to slay the dragon and the kingdom will not get the gold it needs. The king says he's asked for help and right then Rumplestiltskin appears. We learn that the Prince was given to King George by Rumple in a deal they made because he and his dead queen could not conceive a child of their own. The king makes another deal with Rumple to bring back his son to kill the dragon in exchange for the whereabouts of the royal family's fairy godmother. Rumple tells the king that his son is dead and can't be brought back but reveals that he had a twin brother, we know as Prince Charming. We cut to an idyllic pasture where we find the real Prince Charming as a simple shepherd.
We find Mary Margaret in her Storybrooke apartment obsessively cleaning dishes after her encounter with David. Emma tells Mary Margaret she did the right thing. Mary Margaret asks Emma what she should do. Emma pours her a drink, "Generally speaking, if you think something you wanna do is wrong… it is. So you gotta stay strong and he has to figure out his life."
David is back with Kathryn, going through pictures of his former life with her. She's comforting and caresses the back of his head while asking him if he wants to go to bed. The subtext is clear – she's looking for more than just going to sleep. David suggests that maybe they just sit and talk some more but Kathryn's reply is a passionate kiss. David goes with it at first then abruptly pulls away, "This… isn't right."
In Fairy Tale Land we find the real Prince Charming tending to a flock of sheep. His mother, Ruth, approaches with an offer for the grain merchant's daughter's hand in marriage. Her dowry will save the farm. Prince Charming says that no matter how poor they are, he'll only marry for love. His mother gently puts her hand on his cheek, "When are you going to learn? You can't have everything." Then a voice, "Perhaps he can?" They both turn to find Rumple standing in front of their home. How did he get there? Ruth wears a look of shock, the kind when you see someone you hoped you'd never have to see again. Charming learns from his mother that he had a twin brother, "We were poor. Barely surviving. And… he came along with an offer… one of you for the farm." The deal forbade them from ever telling Charming but his father regretted the decision as soon as Rumple took his brother. It's a painful family secret laid bare between a mother and her son. Rumple interrupts; telling them time is of the essence. Charming asks what he wants. Rumple says he doesn't want anything but the king needs a prince to slay a dragon. All Charming has to do is pretend to be his dead brother while the king's men slay the dragon. Then he just has to deliver the dragon's head to Midas. If he does this, his mother will never want for anything, the farm will be saved and he'd be the conquering hero. When he asks if he has a choice, Rumple gives that malevolent smile, "Everyone has a choice deary. Just make sure it's the right one."
Back in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret is minding her own business in Granny's diner when Dr. Whale interrupts her. He notes her resignation from the hospital and apologizes for not calling her back after their date, "Not classy. But if you can find a way to get over it, you know where to find me." Mary Margaret goes right back to her paper. As Dr. Whale exits, Regina walks in and takes a seat across from Mary Margaret. She is surprised to find out from Regina that David left his wife. Regina tells Mary Margaret to stay away from her friend and Kathryn's husband and let him remember who he was.
In FTL, Charming is getting ready to face the dragon when Midas tells him that if succeeds he'll be legend. After he walks away, the Burly Knight from earlier takes Charming's sword from him, "You may have the title of hero, but not the job." They both look toward the mountain when they hear the dragon's roar. On the mountain the Burley Knight and his men are wiped out when they encounter the dragon in its lair. Charming pulls the Burley Knight to safety. As the dragon flies back around to incinerate Charming, he tricks the dragon into a small gap in the rocks where it gets stuck. Just like corralling sheep. With the dragon stuck, Charming finishes it off by chopping off its head. Charming is now a dragon slayer!
Back in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret is getting ready for class when David surprises her. She's upset because she doesn't want to be the one to destroy his marriage. David says the more hurtful thing to Kathryn would be him pretending, "She needs someone to feel about her the way I feel about you." Whoever chose Kathryn is gone, he chooses her. Mary Margaret is flustered, battling with herself. She shoos him out of her class, telling him to leave her alone. David tells her to meet him at the toll bridge later. If she doesn't show, he'll never bother her again, "But if you choose this – if you choose us -- you know where I'll be." And with that he leaves.
At the Sheriff's station, Emma reluctantly agrees to work Graham's night shift after he uses the excuse of having to work at an animal shelter. Just then Mary Margaret rushes in and needs to talk to Emma. Graham takes the cue that it's girl talk and heads to his office. She tells Emma that David left his wife for her and asks what she should do. Emma says go, "He left her. It's one thing to say he wants you. It's another to actually make a choice. And now he has. That's all you can ask for." As this settles with Mary Margaret, she asks if this is really happening. Emma: "You tell me."
David opens his door to his room at Granny's B&B. He settles in. Then stares out the window in anticipation at the clock tower. His gaze drifts down to the weeding band on his finger, considering it.
Now we're back in Fairy Tale Land with King George extolling Charming 's feat of killing the Dragon to Midas. As Midas sends the dragon's head away, King George whispers to Charming that they pulled it off but all Charming wants is to return home. The king says that's a discussion for later. Midas turns his attention back to Charming and King George, he tells them he wasn't looking for just a dragon slayer. Then he drops the bomb, he was looking for the strongest warrior in the land to marry his daughter, "Someone I'd be proud to call family. Bring her." Out walks the FTL version of Kathryn. Midas introduces her as Abigail, "I promised her I would only give her hand in marriage when I could find a companion worthy of her. And now, I have." After unenthusiastically looking Charming up and down, "He killed the dragon?" Midas nods. "I guess he'll do." When Charming hesitates saying yes to marriage, King George pulls him in to a father-son hug. Then whispers into his ear that if he doesn't accept he will be responsible for the destruction of everyone and everything in their kingdom. The king's words are pure venom, "You will marry this girl, or I will kill you, I will kill your mother, and I will turn that farm into ash." Charming is speechless. Grabbing Charming's face the king says he'll take his silence as wisdom, "Follow it and I know you'll make the right decision."
It's nighttime in Storybrooke and we're with David. He's looking at a map, lost when he bumps into Regina. When she guesses that he's meeting Mary Margaret at the toll bridge she tells him, "So, you've made your choice." After unsuccessfully trying to change his mind she gives him directions that take him right past Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop. David walks away as Regina watches him go, her eyes cold as ice.
Mary Margaret is waiting for David under a full moon at the toll bridge. Meanwhile, David finds himself lost again in front of Mr. Gold's Pawn Shop and goes in seeking directions. Inside his eye catches a baby's mobile and it looks like baby Emma's from FTL. Mr. Gold tries to sell it to him but David says he's lost and needs to get to the toll bridge. Mr. Gold laments that the Regina has led him astray with her directions. After getting the right directions from him, David turns to leave and walks right up to lawn windmill Kathryn described to him earlier. The one she said sat in their front yard of their house. Mr. Gold notices and asks if he sees something he likes David says, "I think… this belonged to me." As David's mind reels, Gold smiles, "Really? Are you sure?" David, "Yes. I remember."
In Fairy Tale Land, a princely Charming returns to his family's humble farm to find it and his mother, Ruth, rejuvenated. After excitedly greeting him home, Ruth tries to invite him in for supper. But Charming isn't here for food or advice, he's here to say goodbye. She gives him her wedding ring to give to his bride and tells him true love follows this rings. Ruth had it with his father and he'll have it with whomever he gives the ring to. It's a heartbreaking goodbye as they focus on the ring.
We're back on the ring but this time in Storybrooke as Mary Margaret fiddles with it on her finger as she waits for David at the at the toll bridge. David arrives and tells her he remembers everything. She asks if he's going back to Kathryn. David says "It's the right thing to do." Hearing this gets her riled up, "The right thing to do was not to lead me on." David, "I know." Mary Margaret says he made his choice, "I guess it just wasn't meant to be." She walks off, heartbroken.
Emma's on patrol and catches Graham sneaking out of Regina's house. Emma is disgusted not only by the fact that he's sleeping with Regina but that he's doing it with Henry in the house. As she leaves, she has look of disappoint on her face.
David goes home to Kathryn. He says remembers the windmill and where their relationship was before his accident. David remembers he never intended to leave her, he just needed some time but then he got in his accident and got more time than he expected. They both apologize and agree to work on their relationship. As David reaches for Abigail's hand, we cut to…
The same hands in Fairy Tale Land as Charming and Abigail are about to leave to their new home. King George pulls Charming aside, tells him he's glad he made the right decision. King George, "Smile son, you're on the road to true love." Charming looks down at the pouch holding his mother's wedding ring, not knowing how right the king is. We find them on the same road and carriage from a previous episode where Snow White ambushed them. Leading to Snow White and Charming meeting for the first time.
Back in Storybrooke, Mary Margaret wallows in her disappointment at Granny's Diner. Dr. Whale sits down next to her and asks her if she's having a rough day. She opens up about going into a situation knowing what will happen but doing it anyways. She laments that she should have known better. Dr. Whale says he never feels that way by never doing what's expected, "Keeps life interesting." Mary Margaret considers that. With that Dr. Whale sees an opportunity and asks her if he can buy her a drink. Mary Margaret looks at him, "You can buy me two."

The event was an eye-opener! Nanda, the trainer, actually gave a big reality check for me and I was able to identify where my Scrum understanding was incorrect and, more importantly, the problem areas in the way I used to practice Scrum.

What I'm Thankful For...
I am thankful for so very much this year, when I think about it. But I think above all I'm 100% excited and thankful for a brand new Muppet movie in theaters. I'm not just thankful that there is a new movie, I'm thankful that there is an excellent new movie. The Muppets is currently among not only the best reviewed films of 2011, but with 97% fresh ratings at Rotten Tomatoes, it sits among the best reviewed films of the past couple years, at least--which is just nuts. I really just can't explain how thrilled and proud and ecstatic I am for the Muppets and The Muppets. I've said this before and I'll say it again: I had no part in production of this movie, but I feel such a deep, personal connection to it that every time someone says they love it, my heart swells like a proud father. I just keep quoting "Life's a Happy Song" (because, hey, why the heck not?!), but, "Everything is great, everything is grand, I've got the whole wide world in the palm of my hand! Everything is perfect, it's falling into place, I can't seem to wipe this smile off my face!"
Of course, I'm also beyond thankful for everyone involved in making The Muppets and making it a success. From director James Bobin, to producers David Hoberman and Todd Lieberman, to the set designers, the choreographer, the make-up people, the costume designers, the puppet builders, all of the cameo stars, Rashida Jones, Chris Cooper, Amy Adams, Nicholas Stoller for co-writing the script, and, of course, Jason Segel, whose passion and drive and idea made this movie a reality. However, the people I'm most thankful for are the Muppeteers, Steve Whitmire, Dave Goelz, Eric Jacobson, Bill Barretta, Matt Vogel, David Rudman, and Peter Linz. They say that every movie is the sum of its parts, and having one person out would change it completely. Well, having these seven unbelievably talented men on the project absolutely would have changed the film for the worst. Kermit's soulfulness, Gonzo's insanity, Fozzie's gentle goofiness, Rowlf's hilarity, Floyd's perfect attitude, Scooter's return to prominence, and Walter's beyond perfect entrance into the Muppet family... none of these things would exist in The Muppets if not for the Muppeteers. So, above all, I'm thankful for them, their families, and their characters for everything they've done for the world, and everything they've done for me. I can never show them enough thanks.
I'm also thankful for Sesame Street and Sesame Workshop. Yes, with all of the excitement of The Muppets, the show that has been sweeping the clouds away for 42 years has sort of taken a back seat, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean that Sesame has stopped, by any means. Every day, the Street and the Workshop help kids all over the world, and there is honestly no more important thing they could be doing. These noble people who delight children with Big Bird, Elmo, Grover, Abby Cadabby, and everyone are some of my heroes. Their work defines children's lives, and shapes them for the better.
And, of course, I'm thankful for my unbelievably supportive family and friends, who make all of this possible. Without their support and love I couldn't do all of this... for many reasons. Thank you all!
The thing I'm most thankful for, though, is you. Yes, you. You're here, you're reading The Muppet Mindset, and I couldn't be more thankful for that. Yesterday we hit our highest number of visitors ever, with exactly 4,500 in one day. That is absolutely unreal to me... and I honestly wish I could thank each and every one of you personally. Thank you so much for your fandom, your support, your help, your comments, your likes, your retweets, your mentions... it honestly means more than the world. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, and again, and again... if it weren't for all of you, there would be no Muppet Mindset. I'm thankful for you.
Take the family, and go see THE MUPPETS!!

Treating constipation in seniors: A review of current treatments
For seniors who are constipated, the use of polyethylene glycol and lactulose are effective, according to a review of current treatments published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). The article reviews the latest evidence on the efficacy and safety of treatments to help doctors treat their patients.
Constipation, which increases with age, is a common complaint in seniors that can have serious health consequences and affect quality of life. Excessive straining in frail people can cause fainting and the risk of injury from falling or restrict blood flow to the heart and brain. Fecal impaction can cause nausea, loss of appetite and pain, which can lead to functional decline.
"Given the growing proportion of older adults in North America, effective management of constipation by health care professionals will be increasingly necessary," writes Dr. Dov Gandell, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto, with coauthors.
Constipation can be caused by medications such as opioids and iron pills as well as metabolic conditions and diseases, although the main cause of the condition is not well understood.
Evidence from randomized controlled trials indicates that the use of osmotic agents such as polyethylene glycol and lactulose are effective in increasing the secretion of water in the colon, although these agents (especially lactulose) can cause bloating, gas and diarrhea. Soluble fibres such as psyllium are often used, although there is not strong evidence for effectiveness. Stimulant laxatives, such as senna and cascara which are naturally derived, have been shown to be effective but may become less effective with long-term use.
Increased fluid intake and exercise were not shown to alleviate constipation but should be undertaken for other health benefits.
The authors recommend a 9-step process to help patients manage constipation, which includes identifying symptoms and possible secondary causes, verifying or excluding impaction, optimizing behaviour, modifying diet and undergoing trials of various laxatives. Referral to a gastroenterologist or geriatrician would be the final step if the previous steps were unsuccessful.
"The symptoms [of constipation] can have a profound impact on quality of life and in certain circumstances may lead to functional decline," state the authors. "Physicians should educate their patients on the wide range of normal bowel habits and the potential benefits of dietary modifications to improve symptoms."

When Hollywood actors arrive in Vancouver, they vanish into a 'B.C. triangle' of secret lairs.
Some, such as Matt Damon, find refuge in palatial homes tucked behind iron gates and old-growth cedars on the North Shore. Others, like John Cusack, live large in downtown suites with panoramic views, a pool table, chandeliers and a private hot tub.
A few rent out entire floors of hotels, including Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, who nabbed the penthouse of the Shangri-La Hotel while filming Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol, and Jennifer Aniston, who reportedly booked up the top floor of the Metropolitan Hotel while here in 2008.
CLICK HERE to view images inside the homes, or if you're using a mobile app, tap the story image and swipe.
Generally, celebrities want to be right downtown or on the North Shore, said Chad Kalyn, rental manager at Unique Accommodations, a local company that specializes in finding houses and suites for the stars.
The bigger the star, the more substantial the budget, which tops out in Metro Vancouver at $50,000 per month to rent a furnished home, said Kalyn. Budgets in the film industry typically start at $2,500 per month for back-end production people, while the actors snap up properties at the top of the scale.
"The most expensive rentals we have are $50,000," he said. "They are mainly on the North Shore, and a couple of downtown penthouses. It's the A-list people who are taking those; all the stars of the (biggest) movies."
For Hollywood's elite, Vancouver's west side usually doesn't offer enough privacy, he added. "We're talking a $50,000 budget on the water, gated homes, things like that."
Unique Accommodations has housed Renee Zellweger, Hugh Jackman, Ben Affleck and Jen Garner, Halle Berry, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in recent years. They've also worked with the stars from Elysium, This Means War and X-Men, to name a few.
When Matt Damon arrived with his family in the summer of 2011 to film Elysium, he kept a low profile, popping up now and again to purchase an ice cream cone or mosy around West Vancouver. But you can bet he was among the A-listers with a $50,000-per-month rental budget, shacking up in one of the North Shore's finest architectural treasures.
John Cusack paid about $25,000 per month for a 2,500-sq-ft False Creek condo while working here on two occasions, complete with 360-degree water and city views, pool table and 1,600-sq-foot deck with hot tub.
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson kicked back in a three-bed penthouse on Beach Ave. while in Vancouver filming The Tooth Fairy. With a price tag of a mere $20,000 a month, it features views of the city, mountains and English Bay on its own private floor, with 11-foot ceilings and a media room. It must be a nice pad, because Jeff Bridges also called this place home for a while when filming Tron: Legacy.
Kalyn kept mum on a few of the company's clients, citing confidentiality agreements.
We do know, however, that a number of big names are living in Metro Vancouver at the moment, including famed director Tim Burton, who is here working on his latest feature film, Big Eyes, and actors Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz.
Mystery surrounds the recent arrival of Channing Tatum and his family — wife Jenna Dewan-Tatum, who is here filming TV series The Witches of East End, newborn baby Everly and puppy Meeka — who are rumoured to be nesting in a hush-hush North Shore hideaway.
Things heat up even more in the coming days when George Clooney and Hugh Laurie arrive to begin work on big-budget Disney film Tomorrowland. Cameras start rolling on Aug. 8, and they'll be here until Jan. 15. Rumour has it they will be staying in a hotel: likely the Shangri-La, Fairmont Pacific Rim or Sutton Place.

Mariah Carey Treats Fans to Pulse Club and Vintage Throwback Mixes of 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)'
Mariah Carey has something for everyone with her latest single, 'Triumphant (Get 'Em).' While the original track, which features Meek Mill and Rick Ross, received mixed reviews from longtime lambs (her affectionate term for her fans), her two new versions, the 'Pulse Club Mix' and 'Vintage Throwback Mix,' may win them over.
Fans' main complaint about 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)' was the utter absence of Carey's legendary vocals on the track, with the woman who should have been the star of the show ultimately relegating herself to hook girl status. Many argued that instead of showcasing Carey's much-missed voice, the track would have been more at home on 'The Emancipation of Meek Mill' instead of Mimi. However, Carey takes center stage on her two mixes, with extended verses and more choruses treating the listener to her infamous octaves.
Carey's 'Vintage Throwback Mix' opens with a piano intro before launching into a "Get 'em, get 'em, get 'em / Hit 'em, hit 'em, hit 'em" refrain and a midtempo, 90′s-style beat. The gospel-style "Make 'em all fall down," soulful adlibs and inspirational message combine to be pretty reminiscent of Carey's early hit 'Make It Happen.' Though you can hear a bit of Jermaine Dupri in the background of the vintage mix, this one is all Mariah.
Mimi's 'Pulse Club Mix' may polarize fans, but likely not as much as the original 'Triumphant.' The vocals are the same as the vintage mix, but set to a pulsating club beat designed to inspire listeners not just to triumph, but also to dance.
Do you have a favorite version of 'Triumphant (Get 'Em)'? Sound off in the comments!

Ted Tucker was referred to me by Keelan Parham. Keelan is one of my best Intensive-Coaching trainees and Ted helps run Keelan's caricature business in several of the resorts and theme parks here in Orlando.
Bob Marchesello has a perilous profession. He's a Diplomatic Protection Agent for the State Department and, for a number of years, he's been stationed overseas. As a federal law-enforcement officer, he advises ambassadors on security and protects them from harm.
Dr. MB Medaera has been training with me consistently since April 8, 2008. In slightly more than 1-1/2 years, I've put him through 101 supervised workouts.
Keelan Parham is a fitness-minded guy. He grew up in Greenville, SC, in the presence of a strong father, a grandfather who was a golden-gloves boxing champ in World War II, and several uncles who were actively involved in weight training and bodybuilding.
Robert Olesen is a 32-year-old financial advisor who lives in Chicago. "I need help," he said to me a month ago on the phone. "I need help in losing at least 20 pounds of fat."
MB Medaera, M.D., is a 45-year-old neurosurgeon and he's married to a critical care surgeon. Besides dynamic medical careers, they are parents of four boys: ages 13, 10, 9, and 6.
Charlie Bean was surprised. He had longer-than-average muscles in his upper arms and didn't know it.
In December of 2007, Jeff Turner and I — in my Intensive-Coaching Workshop — determined that he needed to lose 25 pounds of fat (you can read the details in the article, Jeff Turner: I Want to Get Lean).
What middle-aged man wouldn't like to have 10 pounds of muscle added to his body?
Jeff Turner is an old friend from my days at Nautilus. He sold Nautilus equipment for 11 years, primarily in the Pacific Northwest, and was positively influenced by Arthur Jones and his writings. Today, he owns a one-to-one facility called Abstract Bodyworks in Olympia, Washington.

The '80s weren't a great time for those living in the U.S.S.R., although those living in Moscow had it better than most. As the rest of the country dealt with bread and meat rations, those living in the capital had access to fruit (sometimes), soda (a treat) and could even see a movie (if you had the money). Here's a look at the "good life" offered by the Soviets during the '80s.

Sir Clive Sinclair was clearly way ahead of his time with the oft-criticised electric and pedal-powered Sinclair C5, if the new scootercar unveiled by Segway and General Motors this week is anything to go by.
The electric-powered two-seat PUMA from GM and Segway (which stands for personal urban mobility and accessibility) has a top speed of 35mph and can travel up to 35 miles on a full charge.
As for the design, it can only be described as looking like a cross between a micro electric car, a scooter and – well – a Segway!
Available in 2012
The first prototype was unveiled in New York this week, with GM looking to release PUMA's onto a largely unsuspecting public commercially in 2012.
Segway has sold over 2,000 transporters in the UK to date, at a cost of £4,795. Plus, unless you are a clumsy ex-President of the USA, they are virtually un-fall-off-able.
Engadget has the first video demo of this bizarre new vehicle prototype in action.

A German eye specialist with a keen amateur interest in mathematics has discovered the world's largest prime number after a 50-day search using his personal computer.
Dr Martin Nowak, who has his own practice in the south German town of Michelfeld, stumbled upon the number last week, breaking the previous record for a prime number by half a million digits.
Prime numbers are divisible only by themselves and 1. While the first prime numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7, are easy to identify, Dr Nowak's monster prime number is more than 7.8m digits long and is written as 2 to the 25,964,951st power minus 1.
The number belongs to a special class of rare prime numbers known as Mersenne primes, named after a 17th century French monk who first studied them 350 years ago. So far only 42 have been found.
Yesterday Dr Nowak was reluctant to talk about his discovery, made using a special programme on his 2.4GHz Pentium 4 computer. "He's busy. He has a full afternoon seeing patients. He's doesn't want to comment," a spokeswoman at Dr Nowak's clinic said.
The eye surgeon is one of thousands of volunteers using software provided by the Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search (Gimps), a project to discover the holy grail of prime number research - a 10m-digit prime number. It took experts five days to work out that Dr Nowak's new number was indeed bigger than the previous biggest prime, discovered last May by an American. His number has 7,816,230 digits.

2009 wasn't the greatest year for Hard Rock and Heavy Metal DVDs. Maybe there weren't that many released this year? Maybe I just flat out missed them? One factor could be that a lot of bands are packaging bonus DVDs into their proper album releases as bonuses for fans. Slayer, Alestorm, Saxon and KISS were just a few of the bands that did this in 2009, maybe next year I should include these as part of this list criteria? I'm not really sure what the deal is because I didn't buy nearly as many DVDs in 2009 as I have in the past couple of years. The good news is that bands are still taking great care when producing these DVDs by adding extra content, bonus footage and CDs of live performances to the overall packages and the overall prices have been extremely reasonable. Money has to be spent wisely and the following list of DVDs gave a lot of bang for my hard earned buck! Here's my list of The Top 5 Music DVDs of 2009:
Iron Maiden – Flight 666 (The Film) DVD (2009): No surprise here! Iron Maiden consistently puts out the best DVDs every single time and FLIGHT 666 was no exception. 2 DVDs packed with a 2 hour documentary a 100+ minute concert performance and a ton of extras…..other bands need to take notice, this is how you release a DVD! FLIGHT 666 gives Iron Maiden the top spot again in the Top 5 DVDs of the year, they were the winner in 2008 with their official release of LIVE AFTER DEATH. I wonder what 2010 will bring?
Anvil – The Story Of Anvil DVD (2009): Just a quick note: the link is for the movie review I did in late May when I went to see it at a local theater. Production started in November 2005 and the film debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2008. The band played select tour dates in 2008 with the movie as support and I missed the show in Worcester, MA…..the good news was the actual theatrical debut in the U.S. was February. I waited on the DVD until it finally arrived in early October and it is basically the same movie as the one I saw in the theaters with the added bonus section with unedited and bonus footage. This was almost a tie for the top spot because I had more of an emotional attachment to the Anvil film seeing that I had cassettes of FORGED IN FIRE and METAL ON METAL back in the day.
Global Metal DVD (2009): I was witing on this documentary to be released for all of 2008 and it NEVER came out. If you have heard of Sam Dunn & Scot McFadyen then it's from their first film METAL: A HEADBANGER'S JOURNEY, the beginning chapter of the duos' quest to find out how Metal is perceived, loved, enjoyed and revered by fans all over the world. GLOBAL METAL expands on A HEADBANGER'S JOURNEY and goes to different countries like India, Colombia, Japan and Brazil. It was great seeing the absolute dedication fans in different countries had, it reminded me of my days growing up as a kid and discovering Hard Rock & Heavy Metal…..I still have that same dedication. this set has 2 DVDs with the proper film on the first and all the outtakes and bonus content on the second. Any other year and GLOBAL METAL would easily take the top spot but it had to contend with FLIGHT 666…..coincidentally, Dunn & McFayden also filmed FLIGHT 666 and worked on GLOBAL METAL at the same time!
Jeff Scott Soto – One Night In Madrid DVD (2009): This is a late addition that just made the cut, I just picked this DVD (and the 2 CD set) last week! I've been a Jeff Scott Soto fan since the Yngwie days in the early '80s so I usually buy anything I can with his name attached to it. ONE NIGHT IN MADRID is a solid performance from Jeff's just completed world tour and it includes a 21 song live show and a ton of bonuses including 8 music videos and bunch of outtakes. A ton of value for the price and a solid performance made this an instant favorite.
Motley Crue – Cruefest 1 DVD (2009): I went with a sentimental choice for my #5 DVD, beating out the other 3 DVDs I had competing for the slot. I've been a Crue fan since TOO FAST FOR LOVE (1982) and I've seen a ton of Crue tours over the years but I skipped Cruefest 1 when it came to town because I didn't like the lineup. I even passed on Cruefest 2 this past summer! So why does this get the #5 slot here? Because I like Motley Crue. I liked their last studio album SAINTS OF LOS ANGELES (2008) and I caught their show at Mohegan Sun Arena this past March so I was riding high on Motley Crue when I bought this DVD a couple weeks after the show. The Crue performances make the DVD, and the Buckcherry songs were good, but I could do without the live footage of Trapt, Sixx AM, and Papa Roach. A few bonuses were added in: a behind the scenes road documentary and 6 Crue videos.

Sheffield Inclusion Testimonial
Casey, 16, from Sheffield, has struggled to find her feet in mainstream education and completely stopped attending due to her confidence, low self-esteem and preferring her own company.
Sheffield Inclusion centre introduced Casey to EDLounge and after starting with the odd hour here and there, Casey begun using EDLounge once a week, for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.
"Since using EDLounge, Casey's attitude towards learning certainly changed. She struggled in mainstream school and found it very difficult to interact with people she didn't know.
"After a year of using EDLounge, she has now finished her exams and has been accepted onto an apprenticeship working in a private nursery," said Casey's Guardian
Mrs T believes that it is 'good and helpful' that pupils can communicate with tutors when they're on EDLounge.
She added that without the use of EDLounge, Casey would not have had the opportunity of an apprenticeship.
"EDLounge is a really good idea for likeminded students, similar to Casey, who don't want go into mainstream school or the pupils who struggle to deal with the daily stresses of school.
"I would definitely recommend EDLounge to others as Casey is an example that it does really help," she continued.

What Our Customers Have Said…
"The impact on attendance that EDLounge has had is that been able to support an increase in 2.7 per cent increase in the first term of this academic year (2015) because students are engaged on an alternative provision whilst excluded. This often has not been the case in other alternative providers we have set up through failure to engage or attend through choice or transport issues. This is not the case with EDLounge as we have set it up in the comfort of their own home after we undertaken appropriate and legal safeguarding measures to ensure the student is in the right and safe environment to continue on their off-site education. EDLounge, because it is all interfaced related students of this day of age quite often prefer to interact in that measure and they almost don't feel like they are learning and they don't feel like it is school work, because the way it is set up and how they engage with it. I cannot recommend EDLounge highly enough in terms of how it has supported the behaviour transformation at the Featherstone Academy and I would willingly endorse it to any other educational establishment in the country that are looking to make a difference to their school's behaviour and overall school culture. What is a real bonus for the student is how they can see how they are making progress because of the work is so tailored to them in their personalised pathways they actually demonstrate a mark able amount of progress. With that intrinsic motivation and being reward with being able to see the personal progress made themselves is a really is a powerful tool to changing some of our students, some of real hard to reach student behaviour. Also, EDLounge has saved the academy many thousands of pounds this academic year because we use it as our first port of call for alternative provision. The impact of EDLounge and EDClass is that we can now support students learning whilst they are excluded from the academy. Therefore, when they return from their exclusion they have not fallen behind their peers in terms of their learning and they are able to be seamlessly reintegrated back into mainstream lessons without any detriment to their education. We are avoiding bounce back exclusions where students return back to mainstream lessons and because of the gaps in their knowledge can often lead to low level disruption or further disruption which ends up as a repeat fixed term exclusion – but EDLounge fills that gap and students are far better supported in their learning both once on exclusion and when on return from exclusion.

Patient discussion about deep
Q. Are long flights dangerous? I'm flying next week to my vacation, and the flight is going to be rather long (almost 16 hours non-stop). Several years ago, my 75 years-old aunt had blood clot in her lung after a flight of similar length. I also heard that during flight the blood in the legs clots and that it can cause after that problems with the lungs and breathing. Does this mean it's dangerous for me to fly? Should I change my ticket to shorter connection flights?
A. Do other relatives of yours have blood clotting problems too, like your aunt? You should tell a doctor about the problem your aunt had and ask if it's genetic.
Q. How can I prevent blood clots? I am 45 years old and am supposed to go on a business trip overseas. The flight itself is 12 hours long and then I have to continue traveling by bus. Could this cause me to have blood clots? If so, how can I prevent it?
A. Always walk as much as you can on the plane. Also, rotate your ankels in circles. Sometimes try to use your ankels and make the alphabet with them. Have fun..More discussions about deep

Lyrics: Robert Hunter
Music: Robert Hunter
A lyric in Robert Hunter's "Box Of Rain," that seems never to have been performed live.
I dug in that spot before, I didn't find no water
Tell me, how do you do it, where did you get that power?
I got it from my father, who was a seventh son
Don't really need no willow wand, though I guess it helps me some
Water witch, come now
Bend your willow and see
Is there water in my land?
Cool, sweet water for me?
Find that water now, cold clear water
Come, cool water--Oh come, sweet water
Please bend your willow and see
Jacob Baum came to Nehi Valley nineteen forty nine
All the wells were long gone dry--heaven presented no sign
Jacob could sniff a hidden spring like a hound can track a scent
Water never failed to show wherever his willow bent
Preacher Will got it in his head that Jacob was the devil
Said no one could do this thing and still be on the level
During the controversy Jacob dowsed the chapel ground
Found a mother wellspring there, enough to go around
It so happened that Preacher Will, he owned that plot of land
Got it on a deed of trust from someone lately damned
You should have seen the colors change--his true concern turned 'round
To how much he could profit from the water inside his ground
Everyone saw through his scam from profit to disaster
Nonetheless, our hands were tied, our need made him the master
Till Jacob shook his willow wand in anger at the sky
And rain fell down for seven days till not one well was dry
Preacher Will snuck out of town the day the sun returned
We took up a collection to pay Jacob what he'd earned
He said I can't accept your pay or my power will be lost
Thank you for your faith in me--that's all it's gonna cost
Come cold water--come, cool, sweet water
Jacob, bend your willow and see
Witch that water, now, cold clear water
Cool, sweet water for me ...

This has been a tough start to the Tour for me. First off I spend the first three days without internet access and spotty-at-best cell coverage. I mean – how in the hell am I supposed to properly enjoy and communicate about the tour without twitter?? Imagine my horror as I look on suffering alone, in isolation, as my pick for the overall win Andy Schleck cradled his arm, looking as if we wouldn't be able to get back on the bike. Or waiting on the edge of my seat for a smallest nugget of information out of Phil Liggett regarding the state of Tyler Farrar. This tour is already started with precious few sprinters to challenge Mark Cavendish.
Then, I get back to the comfort of home, laptop out, Droid phone at my side and remote control in my right hand. I switched over to channel 966 – that's Versus HD on my local Comcast. What did I find? Ummm – only a 3 minute recap of the highlights where a 2 hour broadcast was advertised. And about 5 words about Frank Schleck being down – but no details other than a quick video clip of him laying on the ground. What???
This isn't the first time that Versus has allowed a total "dumbass" to make programming decisions.
Seriously, folks. Not showing the programming at the advertised time sucks. But showing the end of the race at that beginning of the advertised time – thus blowing the excitement of the entire stage before people can wait for the advertised rebroadcast of the stage later that night. Well, that's just messed up.
I've got to get back to my uber-commute tomorrow anyhow so I won't have access to the satanic Versus channel anyhow. Today I'm going in search of internet outlets to fulfill my racing addiction.

Rondo: Wade 'sold' hard foul in season opener
Celtics play Milwaukee Friday
Rajon Rondo said Thursday that Dwyane Wade "sold" a flagrant foul late in the season opener and denied that it was a "punk play," as the Miami Heat guard claimed.
"I don't think it was a hard foul," Rondo said after practice on Thursday. "He sold it a little bit, and that's basketball. They were up and they drove to the hole; I didn't want to give up a layup. It's as simple as that. I didn't yank him down."
Rondo was called for a flagrant foul in the final seconds of Miami's 120-107 victory on Tuesday night when he grabbed Wade around the neck as he drove to the basket. Wade appeared ready to confront Rondo, but former Celtic Ray Allen eventually pulled him away.
Wade called it a "punk play."
"We're basketball players," Wade said afterwards. "If you want to go do something else, then go do something else. Boxing and all those things, this is not it. We're basketball players here. I was glad I was able to stop myself in that very moment and move on from it. We'll see next time we play."
Rondo denied that the foul was all that rough, and Celtics coach Doc Rivers said that when he played it might not even be a foul.
"I thought it was nondescript. I really did," Rivers said. "It wasn't that hard. So I think it's much ado about nothing, personally. ... I didn't think it was that big of a deal. But I guess it is."
Rivers also brought up a play in the 2011 playoffs when Wade took Rondo down and dislocated his elbow.
"All the dirty plays you've seen him play in the past ... so that's what it is," Rondo said.
Rondo picked up a technical earlier in the game for complaining about a non-call when he thought Wade hooked him on the way to the basket. But he declined to comment on whether he gets fewer calls from the officials than more established stars.
"What are you, trying to get me fined?" he said. "I cannot talk about the refs."
The Celtics play the Milwaukee Bucks in their home opener on Friday night.

In Blender, the quickest way is to subdivide the faces several times, to where the size is satisfactory, then use the "select random faces" tool and assign the viewport texture/emission material to it. I suppose you could also make a texture with the windows on it, but I'd rather have them emit light than be diffuse.catfighter wrote:How've you been creating the little windows on all your stations?

Ada Louise Huxtable, who pioneered modern architectural criticism in the pages of The New York Times, celebrating buildings that respected human dignity and civic history — and memorably scalding those that did not — died on Monday in Manhattan. She was 91.
Her lawyer, Robert N. Shapiro, confirmed her death. She lived in Manhattan and Marblehead, Mass.
Beginning in 1963, as the first full-time architecture critic at an American newspaper, she opened the priestly precincts of design and planning to everyday readers. For that, she won the first Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism, in 1970. More recently, she was the architecture critic of The Wall Street Journal.
"Mrs. Huxtable invented a new profession," a valedictory Times editorial said in 1981, just as she was leaving the newspaper, "and, quite simply, changed the way most of us see and think about man-made environments."
At a time when architects were still in thrall to blank-slate urban renewal, Ms. Huxtable championed preservation — not because old buildings were quaint, or even necessarily historical landmarks, but because they contributed vitally to the cityscape. She was appalled at how profit dictated planning and led developers to squeeze the most floor area onto the least amount of land with the fewest public amenities.
She had no use for banality, monotony, artifice or ostentation, for private greed or governmental ineptitude. She could be eloquent or impertinent, even sarcastic. Gracefully poised in person, she did not shy in print from comparing the worst of contemporary American architecture to the totalitarian excesses of Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin.
"You must love a country very much to be as little satisfied with it as she," Daniel Patrick Moynihan, later a United States senator from New York, wrote in his preface to a 1970 collection of Ms. Huxtable's writings, "Will They Ever Finish Bruckner Boulevard?"
It was the first of several books whose titles alone conveyed her impatient, irreverent tone. These included "Kicked a Building Lately?" (1976) and "Goodbye History, Hello Hamburger" (1986).
Though knowledgeable about architectural styles, Ms. Huxtable often seemed more interested in social substance. She invited readers to consider a building not as an assembly of pilasters and entablatures but as a public statement whose form and placement had real consequences for its neighbors as well as its occupants.
"I wish people would stop asking me what my favorite buildings are," Ms. Huxtable wrote in The Times in 1971, adding, "I do not think it really matters very much what my personal favorites are, except as they illuminate principles of design and execution useful and essential to the collective spirit that we call society.
"For irreplaceable examples of that spirit I will do real battle."
Actually, there was no mistaking what Ms. Huxtable liked — Lever House, the Ford Foundation Building and the CBS Building in Manhattan; the landmark Bronx Grit Chamber; Boston's City Hall; the East Building of the National Gallery of Art in Washington; Pennzoil Place in Houston — and, even more delectably, what she did not.
"The new museum resembles a die-cut Venetian palazzo on lollipops," she wrote in 1964 about the Gallery of Modern Art at 2 Columbus Circle. Her description came to be synonymous with the structure itself, "the lollipop building," and was probably more familiar to New Yorkers than the name of the architect: Edward Durell Stone.
The long-abandoned gallery has since been substantially altered as the Museum of Arts and Design. It might be argued that Ms. Huxtable's lollipop epithet helped doom preservationists' later efforts to save the original facade. But Mr. Stone's romantic brand of monumental modernism was never to her liking.
"Albert Speer would have approved," she said in 1971 about his Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, linking Mr. Stone indirectly to the Nazis' chief architect. "The building is a national tragedy. It is a cross between a concrete candy box and a marble sarcophagus in which the art of architecture lies buried."
This was a far cry from the fawning coverage of new buildings that Ms. Huxtable deplored in the newspapers of the 1950s. And it was welcomed.
Ada Louise Landman was born on March 14, 1921, to Leah Rosenthal Landman and Dr. Michael Louis Landman. She grew up in Manhattan in a Beaux-Arts apartment house, the St. Urban, at Central Park West and 89th Street, and wandered enthralled through Grand Central Terminal, the Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum.
She attracted notice in The Times at an early age with her stage-set designs for Hunter College productions of "The Yellow Jacket" in 1940 and "H.M.S. Pinafore" in 1941. After graduating from Hunter in 1941, she attended New York University's Institute of Fine Arts. But her most treasured academic home was probably the Avery Architectural Library at Columbia University.
Out of school, she was hired by Bloomingdale's to sell a furniture line with works by Eero Saarinen and Charles Eames. "Many young architects and designers made the obligatory tour of the rooms," she recalled. "One of them noticed and married me."
That was L. Garth Huxtable, an industrial designer. He took many of the photographs that illustrated his wife's books. The couple also collaborated in designing tableware for the Four Seasons restaurant, which opened in 1959 in the Seagram Building. Mr. Huxtable died in 1989. Ms. Huxtable left no immediate survivors.
Ms. Huxtable was assistant curator of architecture and design at the Museum of Modern Art from 1946 to 1950. She was a Fulbright fellow, studying Italian architecture and design in 1950-52, and a Guggenheim fellow in 1958. She had also begun writing for architectural journals.
In 1958 she addressed a broader audience in The New York Times Magazine with an article criticizing how newspapers covered urban development. "Superblocks are built, the physiognomy and services of the city are changed, without discussion," Ms. Huxtable wrote. "Architecture is the stepchild of the popular press."
Five years later she was invited to become a critic by Clifton Daniel, then assistant managing editor of The Times. Though architectural commentary was not new — a line could be traced, largely in magazines, to the 19th century through Aline B. Saarinen, Lewis Mumford, Montgomery Schuyler and others — Ms. Huxtable was being asked to write full time for a general-interest newspaper.
"At first she turned him down, saying daily journalism would disrupt her private life," Nan Robertson wrote in her 1992 book "The Girls in the Balcony: Women, Men and The New York Times." "Daniel looked elsewhere, assiduously, but in his own words, 'I couldn't find anyone better than she was.' "
Ms. Robertson said Ms. Huxtable followed in the tradition of the foreign affairs columnist Anne O'Hare McCormick: "so good they could not be ignored by the men who ran the establishment, and so personally assertive that they would not be ignored."
For her part Ms. Huxtable said The Times made a "brave gamble" in the "belief that the quality of the built world mattered, at a time when environment was still only a dictionary word."
Feared by some architects, loathed by some developers and not universally admired by scholars, Ms. Huxtable was nonetheless "a darling of the public," Robert A. M. Stern, Thomas Mellins and David Fishman wrote in "New York 1960," published in 1995.
Her exacting standards were well enough known to be a punch line for a New Yorker cartoon by Alan Dunn in 1968. It shows a construction site so raw that only a single steel column has been erected. A hard-hat worker holding a newspaper tells the architect, "Ada Louise Huxtable already doesn't like it!"
In 1969 the Pulitzer Prizes were expanded to include an award for distinguished criticism or commentary. The first, in 1970, was split by the judges between Ms. Huxtable for criticism and Marquis W. Childs of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch for commentary. She was the second woman, after Mrs. McCormick, 33 years earlier, to win a Pulitzer for The Times. In 1973 she was the second woman ever named to the Times editorial board. (Mrs. McCormick had been the first.) She was succeeded as the daily architecture critic by Paul Goldberger but continued to write about architecture in a Sunday column. She left The Times when she was appointed a MacArthur Fellow in 1981. In her wake, architectural criticism became a staple at big newspapers and grist for subsequent Pulitzer Prizes.
"Before Ada Louise Huxtable, architecture was not a part of the public dialogue," Mr. Goldberger said in 1996.
Ms. Huxtable was the author of 11 books. "Four Walking Tours of Modern Architecture in New York City" (1961), included a characteristic critique of the Pan Am Building, which was then being built directly behind Grand Central. (It is now the MetLife Building.)
Rather than aesthetics, Ms. Huxtable focused on how the tower would alter the scale of Park Avenue, adding "an extraordinary burden to existing pedestrian and transportation facilities." She continued, "Its antisocial character directly contradicts the teachings of Walter Gropius, who has collaborated in its design."
When The Times named her a critic, Ms. Huxtable was working on a six-volume series on New York City architecture. Only the first volume, "Classic New York: Georgian Gentility to Greek Elegance," was published, in 1964.
In it, she extolled not just lovely Greek Revival temples but also mongrelized houses from the early 1800s. "They rank as 'street architecture' rather than as 'landmarks,' " she said. "Their value is contrast, character, visual and emotional change of pace, a sudden sense of intimacy, scale, all evocative qualities of another century."
Her interest in preservation did not make her an enemy of modernity. In "The Tall Building Artistically Reconsidered: The Search for a Skyscraper Style" (1984), Ms. Huxtable said the glass curtain-wall skyscraper, epitomized by the work of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, offered "a superb vernacular, probably the handsomest and most useful set of architectural conventions since the Georgian row house."
What infuriated her were "authentic reproductions" of historical architecture and "surrogate environments" like Colonial Williamsburg and master-planned communities like the Disney Company's Celebration, Fla. "Private preserves of theme park and supermall increasingly substitute for nature and the public realm, while nostalgia for what never was replaces the genuine urban survival," she wrote in "The Unreal America: Architecture and Illusion" (1997).
Ms. Huxtable's last book, in 2008, was "On Architecture: Collected Reflections on a Century of Change." And her last column, published in The Journal on Dec. 3, 2012, concerned the impending reconstruction of the New York Public Library eliminating the central stacks. Typically enough, it was titled, "Undertaking Its Destruction."
Ultimately, however, what animated and sustained her were not the mistakes but the triumphs. As she said of New York City in The Times in 1968:
"When it is good, this is a city of fantastic strength, sophistication and beauty. It is like no other city in time or place. Visitors and even natives rarely use the words urban character or environmental style, but that is what they are reacting to with awe in the presence of massed, concentrated, steel, stone, power and life."

THE CENTRAL FALLACY of Plan Bay Area is that emissions of greenhouse gases will be reduced by planning for housing along transportation nodes.
This ignores where the jobs are that people will be going to each and every day.
If this was a realistic plan, it would possess a key component, as in Europe, for industry to be located in certain areas with housing linked to it to reduce drive time. Such plans mandate living near jobs.
This would be considered, however, in America, to be Soviet-style planning, so the method of this plan is to really eliminate all local planning power to allow for business to put jobs wherever they want and to expose workers to a potential for transportation, without real options.
This is clear as nowhere in the equity analysis or the EIR is there any mention or economic analysis of where housing development costs for low-cost housing and transportation subsidies will come from.
This is clearly the result of the underlying intent of the draft that the free market will provide all. That is magic.
The result of such unrealistic idealism in libertarianism is that what will be produced will look like the past 50 years, it will be market-rate housing and there will be no transportation subsidies.
There is no discussion of tax base financing, or how new transit support for labor will arise. This is amazing given the fact that we have already seen cutbacks in Marin Transit District and Golden Gate Transit service in recent years.
Much of our transportation tax is now going to the Sonoma-Marin Area Rail Transit train, which is yet to roll a single train and is already seriously underfunded. The costs of service of SMART when and if it opens will not be affordable for your median worker in the service area. It will be like an expensive wine train.
If Plan Bay Area is going to be honest, and if its authors really believe in an environmental plan for the Bay Area, they will need to add taxation to provide for services.
Right now, by raising the gas tax by $2 per gallon we could begin to subsidize rapid transit in a fashion to substantially reduce emissions, especially by making Golden Gate and Marin Transit District fares no more than $1 all over the county.
To force the production of low-cost housing (for those earning under $40,000 per year) we need a moratorium on market-rate housing and McMansions and a focus on producing housing at rents affordable to people in the under $40,000 yearly gross income. That means less than half their income is spent on housing, or under $1,000 per month.
