Great product 9 riders in our Peloton use these Trye's
Date: 20 / Mar / 2014
as a senior rider I liked some of the lighter race tires but after replacing them a couple of times in a season it gets quite expensive . With my continentals I find the low road friction and durability make this tire a keeper, I can almost keep up with the group now.

Very good product, best price i have ever seen
Date: 08 / Mar / 2014
I use these for training and club races and find them generally bomb proof. I get about 4 to 5000 km out of a pair easily. They handle great, better than some other softer compound clinchers I have used, which surprised me. Any flats I have experienced are nearly always due to debris ( metal, glass, big road chips). The beat lasting tyre for the money.
Date: 03 / Mar / 2014
I used GP 4000s on my road bike last year for over 5000 km with only one flat.
I will be installing them on my son's bike this year as well.
Date: 22 / Feb / 2014
Great service, great price, and great product
Date: 18 / Feb / 2014
Great product and top quality!
Always good prices with PBK
Date: 23 / Jan / 2014
these are fine tires. They seldom flat , perform well and long lasting.
Where you ride and how to care for them has a lot to do with actual experience.
While these are more middle of the road tires I use nothing else.
My preference on poorer road surfaces is the 25mm tire.
Currently, I am trying 23mm on the front and 25mm on the rear of a set of 23mm Hed wheels.

Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road tire
I am very please with the grand prix 4000s Clincher tires
Date: 03 / Jan / 2014
I have used lots of tires and have settled with the 4000S as I love the way it handles the road. Feels very supple under you and holds the road well also smooth's out rough pavement.
Date: 16 / Dec / 2013
What can I say? I've tried several brands and think that the Continental 4000S is the best that can be bought for all-round biking.
Date: 05 / Dec / 2013
the best tyre I every road. I have two bikes one in Toronto wher e the temp .changes one day to another..and they are the best in all temp. the other bike is in florida and the temp is very hot and they work good to. so the tyers are the best.
Date: 04 / Dec / 2013
Didn't use the tire yet but product came quickly. Purchased many products already the past couple months. Always had great experience.
Highly recommend it.
Date: 03 / Dec / 2013
One off the few tire you can ride for 5000 km in any weather.
I switched to the gp4000 last year and immediately liked the feel, smooth, low rolling resistance and good handling. I rode 6000+Kms on them often on rough surfaces. They have held up well, which is why I am a repeat buyer.
Date: 16 / Nov / 2013
Great feeling on the road, I highly recommend them.

Simply the best.

Perfect balance of performance and durability.

I bought this tire to replace a Michelin pro race 4 that died after 100 K. I had some kind of a bad luck after a distance of 50 feet on a gravel road. The side of the tire was cut just too much to repair. I decided to go with the GP 4000S and I am fully satisfied. The tire looks stronger and after 200 K looks still as a brand new one. Performance is as good than the Michelin however with more resistance.
Date: 13 / Oct / 2013
Installed these tyres about three weeks ago and have biked about 500 kms. They appear to live up to their reputation and are a huge improvement over the original tyres that came with the bike. I love the fact that they are puncture resistant so I don't have to worry as much about getting a flat when riding with my group. Nobody likes to be held up waiting for a member of the group to change a flat!
I'm looking forward to many hours of carefree riding.
Date: 04 / Oct / 2013
Noticed the increased speed immediately from the decreased rolling resistance.
Date: 03 / Oct / 2013
Simply dependable.
Date: 26 / Sep / 2013
Great handling tire also they are very smooth and they seem to role forever on the road. Would recommend them as a good overall tire.
Date: 25 / Sep / 2013
The Conti's you sold me are the best tires on the road in my opinion. They give a cushiony ride, and have great grip around corners and on rough road. They have a great fit and hold pressure longer than other tires. They wear well and last longer than other tires on the market. I've been buying Conti's since I started cycling over 20 years ago.
My first reaction was to give you 5 out of 5 -- I changed it to 4 out of 5 because of the shipping time.
Otherwise, you sell great products at a competitive price and have free shipping. You have excellent communication throughout the process, and the product comes in good condition.
I appreciate your products and pricing and free shipping. I will tell our friends about your website. Thank you!

I highly recommend these Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tyres or any continental GP 4000 tyres (I used to be on Vittoria).
Date: 26 / Aug / 2013
The Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tires are great, I saw the difference right away. They offer a super smooth feeling. I've had no flats yet. A lot of reviews say the sidewall has problems holding up, but I've done 100 miles on them and had no problems yet. For this price they were a great buy.
Date: 29 / Jul / 2013
The Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tires - 23mm are the best tires I have bought. They are long lasting, hold the road and are always available at a great price. I am in Quebec Canada where the roads are not the greatest. These tires handle a lot of punishment and last.
Date: 22 / Jul / 2013
Bought these to replace a set of Specialized Pros as I couldn't get a decent price on new Pros. I did a fair bit of research and these were very well recommended. I have ridden 100+ miles on them so far and I was immediately impressed by their low rolling resistance and reasonable grip.
I've ridden gator skins before and liked the continental line. These are far quicker feeling than the gator skins and feel more grippy to me. It remains to be seen how they stand up compared to the gator skins.
Date: 19 / Jul / 2013
After trying a number of different makes and models several years ago I tried Conti GP4000Ss and have not used anything else since. 1) Great grip, 2) smooth rolling (almost feel soft under the bike - great for chip-n-seal roads), 3) easy to install on the HED Belgium rims I use currently and the Velocity Aeroheads and A23s that I used before, and 3) they LAST: the only time I've had to retire them has been after running over glass once and a nail another time. Even then I've patched the inside with duct tape and used them on the trainer. I have also tried the 25mm version of these and there is a circumference gain over the 23mm, so the 25s don't fit the seat stay clearance at the brake on my race bike but they're great on my cross bike (used for commuting and foul-weather riding).
Considering the price that these tend to go for at LBSs around here, PBK has been a godsend for getting these great tires and a great price, and allowing me to shod all my wheels with them.
Date: 11 / Jul / 2013
Love these tires. Excellent handling. Been riding 5% faster (up & downhill). Easy to install. Will be use them again. Will recommend to my cycling buddies.
Date: 02 / Jul / 2013
Great tires! Rolling resistance is very low making for a much faster ride especially downhill! It even made my rides much more comfortable on the saddle as the tires absorb the bumps in the road.
Date: 25 / Jun / 2013
Very good tyre, very perfomant and tougth, almost indestructible.
Easy to assemble on wheels.
Best purchase on PBK
Date: 19 / Jun / 2013
I've been using these tires about a month now and I love them. I usually ride about 200-300km a week and they have been wonderful.
Very smooth rolling and the tires feel like they have me firmly planted on the road. So far they have been flat and puncture free with no wear visible.
I highly recommend these tires and will re order them once these wear out!
Date: 14 / Jun / 2013
The Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tyre is an excellent tyre that gives good performance, control and perfect feeling of the road.
Date: 22 / May / 2013
So far, so good. I got a pair of these Continental Grand Prix 4000S Clincher Road Tyres to go on my new race wheels. Mounted by hand, with no tools required. They look great and my first impressions on the road have been really good. I haven't had them long enough to form an opinion on wear, puncture resistance or performance in the wet.
Date: 14 / May / 2013
Best tires I have ever bought for my bike. Nice grip, smooth ride and control.
Will buy more from this site when the time comes.

Appealing the Judge's Decision
Your case has gone to trial. The administrative law judge has issued an award. Now what? Can the award be appealed?
If the award is a "Temporary or Partial Award", the answer is MAYBE. If the award is not a "Temporary or Partial Award", the answer is YES. All final awards are subject to appeal.
- Appeals of Final Awards
- Appeals of Temporary Awards
- No Appeal from a Settlement
- Understand Your Rights and Obligations: You Have the Right to Consult With a Lawyer
Appeals of Final Awards
The first appeal from a final award is to the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission. The "Commission" is a three-member panel that reviews the awards of the administrative law judges in workers' compensation cases. Any party to the case may appeal by filing an "Application for Review" with the Commission. The application for review must be filed with the Commission within twenty calendar days of the date of the award. The Commission will ask the court reporter to make a complete transcript of the trial proceedings. The Commission will require that legal briefs be filed. The Commission does NOT hold a new trial. The Commission reviews the judge's award, the transcript and the briefs. If the Commission agrees completely with the judge's award, it may adopt the judge's award as its own. If the Commission disagrees with the judge's decision, in whole or in part, the Commission will issue a new award.
A second appeal may be requested by any party after a final award by the Commission. This is done by filing a timely Notice of Appeal to the Missouri Court of Appeals. The Court of Appeals does NOT hold a new trial. The Court of Appeals will review the transcript of the trial proceedings before the administrative law judge. The Court of Appeals will require the parties to file additional briefs, and those will also be considered. The Court of Appeals may allow the lawyers for the parties to appear for oral arguments. The Court of Appeals will then issue its decision in the case. The Court of Appeals can only change or reverse the Commission's award on legal issues. The Court of Appeals must accept the Commission's findings of fact.
There is a possibility of a third appeal in some cases. The Missouri Supreme Court may accept a case for a third appeal. This is extremely rare, and only happens in cases involving significant legal issues.
Appeals of Temporary AwardsWhen an administrative law judge issues a "Temporary or Partial Award", any party may file a timely application for review to the Commission. However, if the Commission believes that the employer's liability was not a contested issue at the trial, the Commission may dismiss the application for review.
If the Commission does not dismiss the application for review, the Commission reviews the judge's award in the same manner as is done with a final award. After review, the Commission may issue a "Temporary or Partial Award", or it may issue a final award. If the Commission issues a final award, there may be a second appeal as described above. If the Commission issues a "Temporary or Partial Award", any party may file a notice of appeal to the Missouri Court of Appeals. However, the Court of Appeals may not allow the appeal to continue. Until recently, the courts of appeal have allowed appeals of "Temporary or Partial Awards" to proceed in some circumstances. However, two recent decisions by the Missouri Court of Appeals Southern District and the Missouri Court of Appeals Eastern District stated that ONLY final awards were subject to appeal. In both of those cases, the appeal of a "Temporary or Partial Award" was dismissed.
No Appeal from a SettlementPLEASE NOTE: If an administrative law judge has approved a settlement in your workers' compensation case, you cannot appeal the approval of the settlement to the Labor and Industrial Relations Commission. If there was a clerical error in your settlement, the judge has twenty days from the date of the settlement to correct the clerical error only. The judge cannot void or invalidate an approved settlement. The judge cannot change the amount of the settlement once it has been approved.
Understand Your Rights and Obligations: You Have the Right to Consult With a LawyerAppeals of workers' compensation cases are complex legal matters that require legal expertise. If you have any questions about the issues discussed above, you may consult with a lawyer. If you are unable to locate a lawyer who practices workers' compensation law, you may wish to contact the Missouri Bar Lawyer Referral Service at 573-636-3635, the St. Louis Metropolitan Bar Lawyer Referral Service at 314-621-6681, the Springfield Metropolitan Bar at 417-831-2783.
It should not cost you anything to consult a lawyer. Lawyers who regularly practice workers' compensation law offer free initial consultations. For more information, see Obtaining A Lawyer on this website.

Maureen and Mike Mansfield Library Digital Collections
StateiT'ent of Senator Wike ~/ansfield (D., Montana)
On Th,usday, January ad a conference with
General ThoiT'as D. Wh to
the possibility of a IT'issile or missile sites in the State of }.-fontana,
He told me at ':hat time that the Air Force was interested in l'v'ontana
along with a number of other States, but that no firm cowrr.itment could
be rrade and that, as a matter of fact, no encouragement could be given
at this tirre, He stated that it would depend on the results of survey
teams being sent out, and he state-d further that these teams would be
sent out without publicity or advance notice, and that after sites had
been surveyed, then it would be necessary for final decisions to be
made back here.
I urged General White that he give every possible consideration
to the State of Montana in this l'T'atter because, as I indicated, we
have the area; we have the transportation, water, power, and fuel
facilities; we have sufficient labor because at the present time Montana
is undergoing a drastic degree of unemployment; and I assured him that
if ~'' ontana could be considered in any way, he would have the full support
of the 1'- 1 ontana Congressional delegation and the people of the State.
General White expressed interest, he was courteous and
sympathetic, but -- I repeat -- would make no commitment, offered no
encouragement except to say that ]lt.ontana along with a number of other
States was being considered, and he appreciated my calling to his attention
the general situation as it affected the State as a whole,

Dear Isabelle:
January 15, _1958
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter of January 9
requesting information on the meeting held by the officials of the Air
Force with the delegation from C:ut Bank,
On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Frank Whetstone carne in to see
me and told me that he was back here to attempt to get a missile site for
Glacier r:ounty. I was informed that an arrangement had been worked out
with the Elackfeet Indians by means of which 2, 000 acres of Indian land
would be offered to the government for a missile site or any other sort
of defense installation which would fit in with the defense effort. He indicated
that he had seen Sherman Adams and other Republican officials and
that a meeting had been arranged for Wonday morning, January 13, with
officials of the Air Force, He stated that he was aware of the fact that I
had very likely heard from other Montana cornrrunities interested in a
missile site, but he felt that he ought to corr.e in and tell me just what the
situation was ac far as Glacier County was concerned, He had evidently
prepared a very excellent brochure having to do with all possible questions
which the Defense Department could raise.
On Sunday, he called my administrative assistant, Mrs.
Peggy De!v1ichele, and asked if it would be possible for her to go with the
delegation, representing this office, to the Pentagon, Peggy did go to the
Pentagon and sat in on the meeting, at which time the Cut Bank Delegation
presented its case and at which time Peggy brought out the fact that shortly
after Sputnik I, I had contacted the Secretary of Defense relative to a rnissile
project or projects in the State of Montana, and indicated that we would
be interested if there was a possibility in a number of missile sites in our

At that meeting, the following were rpresent: Wr. and-M:::-s.
Frank Whetstone; 1/ r, Email Rudman of the Glacier ':ounty REA Co-op;
Walter Wetzel and Henry .t-f agee, Cut Bank; Smith Brookhart, Washington,

Duncan, representative of the Great No:.-thern Railroad; and 11frs. Peggy

Hageman, Legislative Liaison of the Air Force (who did not remain for
the entire meeting); Mrs. Close, Legislative Liaison of the Air Force;
Cc~onel Garrett, Chief of Real Estate of the Office of Director of Real
Property, Air Force; Mr. Johnston, Department Chief of Base Selection
Branch of the Air Force Planning Division (Office of Director of Real
Property); Lt. C:ol. Iviatthews, Office of the Assistant for Guided Missiles,
Air Force; ~~ r. Lowe, Office of Industrial Programs, Bureau of Indian
Affairs; and Mr. Eo J. Utz, Assistant Commissioner of Resources, Bureau
of Indian Affairs,
Frank Whetstone called at the office yesterday afternoon to
express his appreciation for the assistance given by the office an-i to
notify me he would be going home shortly,
As I understand it, the Defense Department may be interested
in additional sites throughout the country. I would be most desirous that,
if at all possible, at least one and possibly more sites be located in Montana
because we have the area, we have the necessary requisites, and we have
an unemployment situation so there would be no shortage of labor. You
may rest assured I will do everything in my power to be of whatever assistance
I can in this matter because I believe that Montana is a "natural" for
a rT'issile project, or, for that matter, other kinds of projects which might
be necessary in the present defense effort,
I am sending this information on to you in answer to your
communication. I did not issue a press release from Washington because
I did not wish to raise any false hopes and because I did not know and still
do not know of any definite possibilities in these fields for the State of
:r-~ ontana. It is my understanding that material of this nature is generally
classified, and not made known until the proper requests are made to the
Congress. You may be assured that if there is any possibility of a site
or sites anywhere in our State being considered, that I will do my very
best in their behalf and will keep the people of ~/f ontana informed,
Must close now, but with best personal wishes, I am

The Honorable Neil 1/cElroy
Secretary of Defense
The Pentagon
Washington, D. -::.
}./y dear l\f. r, Secretary:
Recent Russian advancements in missile and rocket
technology have spurred the United States on to an intensified
developrrent and production of guided missiles and rockets,
We all recognize that Arrerica must regain its -superiority
in these fields and to attain this goal, it will require
additional rr.issile bases and testing sites in this country,
The Defense Departrrent has announced plans for the
construction of a giant missile base near Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Newspaper reports infer that the base would be designed as a site
for launching platforms and related installations for intercontinental
ballistic missiles. Subsequent news stories indicated that perhaps
an additional missile base is being planned.
In the event that additional missile and rocket testingbases
are planned in our intensified defense effort I ask that consideration
be given to }.f ontana,
Wontana offers a number of desirable features for sucha
base, There are vast empty spaces lying to the east and stretching
all the way to the Dakota border, This area is served by good
highways and adequate train and airline service, In addition, such
an installation would be located advantageously to the SAC base at
Great Falls and the Defense Air Command Base being constructed
at Glasgow,

The Honorable Neil McElroy November 26, 1957
The construction of a missile or rocket base in Montana
would be of great assistance in bolstering its now sagging economy.
I realize fully that such rna tters as this are top secret,
but I want to impress upon you the advantages of locating such an
installation in Montana as compared to the more populated areas C£
the Nation,
Your earnest consideration of this rna tter will be deeply
appreciated by not only me, but by the other members of the Montana
Delegation as well as the people of Montana,
With best personal wishes, I am

The Secretary of Defense has asked me to acknowledge
your letter of November 26, in which you request that consideration
be given to !\f ontana as a site for a guided missile base,
Your suggestion has been brought to the attention of
the appropriate officials within the Department with the request that

Washington, D.C.
Dear General White:
January 17, 1958
May I take this means to thank you for the courtesy and
consideration shown to me when we had our conference on the
possibility of missile sites within the State of Montana.
I want you to know that I appreciated your frankness in
our discussion. I was, of course, disappointed that there was
nothing definite in the wind as far as Montana was concerned but
pleased with your assurances that Montana along with other states
would be considered in the location of any future sites which might
be considered.
Also, I understand and appreciate your position that if
survey teams are sent to any part of the country it will be done
without publicity and that any decisions will be made after they
return, make their findings known and the Air Force has the
opportunity to make a full evaluation.
As I indicated to you General, I have received letters, telegrams
and telephone calls from at least a score of Montana communities.
They are all very interested in any possibility which may arise
in this respect and , in my opinion, consideration of Montana would be
of benefit not only to the ~tate but to the Nation as well.
We have great areas, adequate housing, the necessary facilities
and a great work force available. Montana at the present time
is suffering from a severe slump in certain areas and therefore all
of the necessary manpower would be available.
You may recall that at the present time the Air Force has

stations and we are in the area which has the greatest amount of

I do not need to recall to you the importance of the Great
Falls Air Base or that from Great Falls during the second world
war over 7, 000 combat planes of all sorts were shipped north to
Alaska and Siberia. What was a one way street then could in the
future become a two way street. I point this out to you as an indication
of the tremendous strategic importance of my fta.te.
I would call to your attention also, the fact that in the last
two world wars on a per capita basis Montana contributed more
manpower to the armed services than did any other state.
Again, General White, I want to thank you for the kindness
and courtesy shown to me in your office in the :?entagon and to
assure you of my deep appreciation for your consideration and to
express the strong personal hope that Montana will be given every
possible consideration if the J\ir Force contemplates additional
missile bases or sites along the northern border of our country.
In my opinion, if Montana is so designated it will not only be of
immediate benefit to the State but far greater importance to the
welfare, the security and the defense of our country.
With best personal wishes, I am
Sine erely yours,

At the core of the Sentinel GS 2x50 is the unique combination of specially designed optics and the CF-Super Image Intensifier Tube which ensure highest edge-to-edge resolution, clear, distortion-free and geometrically precise image across the entire field of view.
The focusable lens features delivers a crisp and contrast image. The soft rubber cap is permanently fixed on the lens body which prevents it from being lost. During observation or shooting there is no need to remove the lens cap. You can simply slide it in the most suitable place on the lens body. The built-in IR Illuminator allows use in complete darkness.
The reticle has a range finding scale which makes adjustments when shooting at different distances easier. You can also choose the color of the reticle – red or green. The power supply stabilization system prevents reticle shift when the battery is nearly empty and prolongs stable performance of the batteries. Switching on the riflescope and the IR Illuminator can be realized by the remote-control console equipped with a secure attachment plug.

|The examples and perspective in this article or section might have an extensive bias or disproportional coverage towards one or more specific regions. (December 2009)
Suburbanization is the growth of areas on the fringes of cities. It is one of the many causes of the increase in urban sprawl.
Many residents of metropolitan regions work within the central urban area, and choose to live in satellite communities called suburbs and commute to work via automobile or mass transit. Others have taken advantage of technological advances to work from their homes. These processes often occur in more economically developed countries, especially in the United States, which is believed to be the first country in which the majority of the population lives in the suburbs, rather than in the cities or in rural areas. Proponents of containing urban sprawl argue that sprawl leads to urban decay and a concentration of lower income residents in the inner city.[1]
Causes and effects[edit]
United States[edit]
Suburbanization can be linked to a number of different push and pull factors. Push factors include the congestion and population density of the cities, pollution caused by industry and high levels of traffic and a general perception of a lower quality of life in inner city areas. Pull factors include more open spaces and a perception of being closer to "nature", lower suburban house prices and property taxes in comparison to the city, and the increasing number of job opportunities in the suburban areas. Improvements in transportation infrastructure encourage suburbanization, as people become increasingly able to live in a suburb and commute into the nearby town or city to work. Developments in railways, bus routes and roads are the main improvements that make suburbanization more practical. The increase in the number and size of highways is a particularly significant part of this effect.
Government policies can have a significant effect on the process. In the United States, for instance, policies of the Federal government in the post-World War II era, such as the building of an efficient network of roads, highways and superhighways, and the underwriting of mortgages for suburban one-family homes, had an enormous influence on the pace of suburbanization in that country. In effect, the government was encouraging the transfer of the middle-class population out of the inner cities and into the suburbs, sometimes with devastating effects on the viability of the city centers.[2] However, some argue that the effect of Interstate Highway Systems on suburbanization is overstated. Researchers of this vein believe city center populations would have declined even in the absence of highway systems, contending that suburbanization is a long-standing and almost universal process. They primarily argue that as incomes rise, most people want the range and choice offered by automobiles. In addition, there is no significant evidence directly linking the development of highway systems to declining urban populations.[3]
Banks also fueled the push out of cities, as in many cases, they redlined inner-city neighborhoods, denying mortgage loans there, and instead offering low rates in the suburban areas. More recently, some urban areas have adopted "green belt" policies which limit growth in the fringe of a city, in order to encourage more growth in the urban core. It began to be realized that a certain amount of population density in the center city is conducive to creating a good, working urban environment. Race also played a role in American suburbanization. During World War I, the massive migration of African Americans from the South resulted in an even greater residential shift toward suburban areas. The cities became seen as dangerous, crime-infested areas, while the suburbs were seen as safe places to live and raise a family, leading to a social trend known in some parts of the world as white flight. This phenomenon runs counter to much of the rest of the world, where slums mostly exist outside the city, rather than within them. With the increasing population of the older, more established suburban areas, many of the problems which were once seen as purely urban ones have manifested themselves there as well. Some social scientists suggest that the historical processes of suburbanization and decentralization are instances of white privilege that have contributed to contemporary patterns of environmental racism.[4]
Recent developments in communication technology, such as the spread of broadband services, the growth of e-mail and the advent of practical home video conferencing, has enabled more people to work from home rather than commuting. Although this can occur either in the city or in the suburbs, the effect is generally decentralizing, which works against the largest advantage of the center city, which is easier access to information and supplies due to centralization. Similarly, the rise of efficient package express delivery systems, such as (in the United States) FedEx and UPS, which take advantage of computerization and the availability of an efficient air transportation system, also eliminates some of the advantages that were once to be had from having a business located in the city. Industrial, warehousing, and factory land uses have also moved to suburban areas. Cheap telecommunications removes the need for company headquarters to be within quick courier distance of the warehouses and ports. Urban areas suffer from traffic congestion, which creates costs in extra driver costs for the company which can be reduced if they were in a suburban area near a highway. As with residential, lower property taxes and low land prices encourage selling industrial land for profitable brownfield redevelopment.[5]
Suburban areas also offer more land to use as a buffer between industrial and residential and retail space to avoid NIMBY sentiments and gentrification pressure from the local community when residential and retail is adjacent to industrial space in an urban area. Suburban municipalities can offer tax breaks, specialized zoning, and regulatory incentives to attract industrial land users to their area, such as City of Industry, California. The overall effect of these developments is that businesses as well, and not just individuals, now see an advantage to locating in the suburbs, where the cost of buying land, renting space, and running their operations, is cheaper than in the city. This continuing dispersal from a single city center has led to other recent phenomena in American suburbs, the advent of edge cities and exurbs, arising out of clusters of office buildings built in suburban commercial centers around shopping malls and higher density developments. With more and more jobs for suburbanites being located in these areas rather than in the main city core that the suburbs grew out of, traffic patterns, which for decades centered on people commuting into the center city to work in the morning and then returning home in the evening, have become more complex, with the volume of intra-suburban traffic increasing tremendously. By 2000, half of the US population lived in suburban areas.[5]
Tijuana has experienced a strong wave of suburbanization from its urban core beginning in 2006. Historically, Tijuana city, with 1/4 the area covering 80 square miles, contained well over 95% of the total population of the municipality, and it was the poor relegated to living outside the city. Despite good highways, however, there was little incentive to move out of the city. However, with a huge escalation of the Mexico drug war violence, middle class city residents and property developers along with retail chains began building suburban communities and sold them as way to isolate themselves and their children from the negative effects. This led to a historic movement to communities outside the urban core, as evidenced by both the type of middle class housing developments and 2010 INEGI census figures.
Effects on psychological health[edit]
Historically it was believed that living in highly urban areas resulted in social isolation, social disorganization, and psychological problems, and that living in suburbs would be more conducive to overall happiness, due to lower population density, lower crime, and a more stable population. A study based on data from 1974, however, found this not to be the case, finding that people living in suburbs had neither greater satisfaction with their neighborhood nor greater satisfaction with the quality of their lives as compared to people living in urban areas.[6]
Economic impacts[edit]
The economic impacts of suburbanization have become very evident since the trend began in the 1950s. Changes in infrastructure, industry, real estate development costs, fiscal policies, and diversity of cities have been easily apparent, as "making it to the suburbs", mainly in order to own a home and escape the chaos of urban centers, have become the goals of many American citizens. These impacts have many benefits as well as side effects and are becoming increasingly important in the planning and revitalization of modern cities.
Impact on urban industry[edit]
The days of industry dominating the urban cores of cities are gone. Companies are increasingly looking to build industrial parks in less populated areas, largely for more modern buildings and ample parking, as well as appease the popular of desire to work in more open and pleasant areas. Also contributing to the flight of industry from the city are government economic policies that provide incentives for companies to build new structures, as well as the lack of incentives to build on "brownfield" land (previously used industrial land). As companies continue to build on pieces of land in less populated areas, it will become increasingly difficult to build in high-density areas. The main factor that causes this is that if any of the side effects of industry (noise, excessive lights, heavy traffic) affect residential areas, there is resistance from the homeowners. Another potential impact of industry leaving the city is that generally, when industry is separated from an urban area by some open space, as well as infrastructure, the open space between the city and the company becomes more intensely used. As this land becomes used more and more, the value of properties very often increases, causing many landowners in that open space to sell their land.[7]
Consequences on infrastructure[edit]
Los Angeles suburbanization continues and America continues to sprawl, the cost of the required water lines, sewer lines, and roads could cost more than $21,000 per residential and non residential development unit, costing the American government $1.12 Trillion over the next twenty five years. Along with the costs of infrastructure, existing infrastructure suffers, as most of the government's money that is dedicated to improving infrastructure goes to paying for the new necessities in areas further out from the urban core. As a result, the government will often forgo maintenance on previously built infrastructure.[8]
Impact on real estate development costs[edit]
For residential properties, suburbanization allows for home prices to decrease, so people can drive until they can find an area in which they can afford to buy a home. However, these homes may lack certain things such as parks and access to public transit. Also, the prices of homes in downtown center usually decreases as well to compete with the inexpensive homes in the suburbs. One of the main benefits of living in the suburbs is that one gets a much larger piece of land than one would in the city. Therefore, as the size of lots increases, the supply of housing is more limited.[9]
Fiscal impact[edit]
The fiscal deficit grows as a result of suburbanization, mainly because in less densely populated areas, property taxes tend to be lower. Also, because of the typical spread pattern of suburban housing, the lack of variety of housing types, and the greater distance between homes, real estate development and public service costs increase, which in turn increase the deficit of upper levels of government.[10]
Effect on urban diversity[edit]
As the trend of suburbanization took hold, many of the people who left the city for the suburbs were white. As a result, there was a rise in black home ownership in central cities. As white households left for the suburbs, housing prices in transition neighborhoods fell, which often lowered the cost of home ownership for black households. This trend was stronger in older and denser cities, especially in the northeast and Midwest, because new construction was generally more difficult. As of the 2010 Census, minorities like African Americans, Asian Americans and Indo-Americans have become an increasing large factor in recent suburbanization. Many suburbs now have since 1990 large minority communities in suburban and commuter cities.[11]

'Take your wedding photography seriously ?'
Telling the story of your wedding day from start to finish makes all the difference visually when designing your 'unique wedding album' and helps your designated designer at Andy Oliver Studio record your day completely in one beautifully hand crafted album. This set of images of Lee and the boys just before they started getting ready really helped set the mood and the pace of the whole day and tied in really well with pictures we got later in the day. Does it matter and is it worth booking and paying for a 'professional wedding photographer' to record your day? some people would say no…. all I want are a few pictures at the church, to others their wedding day is the most important day of their lives and take the role of photography very seriously.
Lets face it professional 'wedding photography prices' by pros that 'know their craft' aren't cheep, people with camera are, why is there such a vast price difference between photographers? this could be one reason.. 'their not photographers', don't be fooled, quite often they are wanting the images for a portfolio or just to make a few quid on the side, I don't condemn people at all who want to learn a new craft and join the photography fraternity but is it really worth letting them practice on you?
The type of album supplied to a client can be at the very core of the price they charge as well as the fact that many hours are spent on the whole project, both Jenni and me calculated the we spend around 70 hrs on each wedding, from initial consultation – pre wed shoot – wedding photography – viewings – editing – album design ……etc
Sorry for the slight rant above only we recently had a lovely lady in to the studio in a bit of a state with her self because a friend of a friend of a friend had done her wedding photography and lets just say they hadn't turned out quite as she was expecting. We decided on this occasion to try and help her out.
Ria had spent a lot of time choosing her unique head-dress, so I only thought it apt to squeeze it into as many closeups as possible.
How to photograph a wedding in the rain….. take a brollie.

American Academy of Pediatrics' (AAP)
Pediatric Education for Pre-hospital Professionals (PEPP)
2001 Innovation in EMSC Product Development Award
In 1995, the first Pediatric Education for Paramedics (PEP) course was created for Basic Life Support (BLS) and Advanced Life Support (ALS) providers. In 1998, a national steering committee, established by the AAP, restructured and expanded the course to include the most recent clinical advances and educational concepts for pre-hospital professionals. It was then renamed the Pediatric Education for Pre-hospital Professionals (PEPP) Course. More than 600 professionals received training as a result of national PEPP course rollouts.
The course is comprised of many components, including case-based lectures, live action videos, hands-on skill stations, and small-group scenarios. A resource manual, tool kit CD-ROM, slide set, BLS and ALS video, and a PEPP textbook<!--[if !supportAnnotations]-->[CS2]<!--[endif]--> were developed to support the training.
Indiana District of Kiwanis, Kids for Riley
2001 EMSC Community Partnership of Excellence Award
The Indiana District of Kiwanis has supported the Indiana EMSC program and has worked to make EMSC a part of the Kiwanis Young Children Priority One (YCPO) initiative in Indiana. This is in large part due to Denny Yoder, a former governor for the Indiana District and chairman of the Kids for Riley committee.
Kiwanis members have supported EMSC in over 32 counties through the EMSC Kiwanis Pediatric Bag project, which promotes enhanced pediatric equipment and education throughout the prehospital environment.
In addition, Kiwanis has worked with EMSC and other organizations to promote injury prevention by conducting bicycle rodeos, providing volunteers at car seat clinics, and assisting with various other children's programs throughout the state. As a result, both Iowa and Nebraska are replicating this project, and have provided needed equipment to rural and volunteer EMS services.

2001 State Achievement Award
The Maryland Office of Emergency Medical Services for Children has effectively partnered with a variety of agencies and institutions to advance pediatric emergency care and injury prevention throughout the state. Maryland EMSC has partnered with the Maryland Department of Transportation, Maryland Safe Kids, and "KISS" to foster the development of child passenger safety programs statewide. In addition, Maryland EMSC created a comprehensive program in conjunction with the Prince George's County Schools, the Fire and EMS Department, the Montgomery County Department of Fire Rescue Services, and the Maryland Department of Education to acquaint pre-hospital providers with special needs children and the buses that transport them.
They have also worked with the Maryland Emergency Management Agency to develop plans that meet the unique needs of children in disasters through the Mass Casualty Incident drills. This concept has produced significantly improved drill safety and accountability systems.
Maryland EMSC has also worked with the statewide Yellow Alert Task Force to develop contingency plans when hospital emergency departments are overloaded with patients.

Mon., Sun. 11am - 12pm;Tue. - Thu. 11am - 1am;Fri. - Sat. 11am - 2am
Neighborhoods: Sweetwater, Northwest Columbus
Watched the Collage Basketball Championship while stuffing my face with HOT wings! Whew, but they were good! It was nice time enjoying good food and drink with friends while watching the team from up north wither and die!!
Very disappointed! – My husband and I had been pretty big fans of this place--until our last trip. Arriving around 8pm for the World Series, we ordered a favorite beer of ours. It came out warm--almost room temperature and not all that frothy. Still determined to have a good BW3 experience, we proceeded to order nachos/queso and some wings. The nachos arrived with the queso cold in the middle, and not even melted! These our server took back to re-heat, but our final disappointment came in the form of wings that were barely close to hot. They had clearly been sitting out for a while. We've generally liked this place and hesitate to write bad reviews, but this experience definitely dampened our enthusiasm.
Not so great, in fact, bad. – The whole menu is dated...all the appetizers seem heated from frozen. The burgers are terrible, as is most of the menu. And while they have a great range of sauces, the wings are tiny, undercooked, and served luke warm. The prices seem high for what you get, and the drinks (all) are over-priced as well. The only thing I see good about it (and this is probably the only reason they survive), is it would be a good place for you favorite sports venue. Lots of big elevated TVs. But since I own my own big screen, that is not an attraction for me, thus, one star for terrible food & service.
This sports bar and grill offers a casual, fun dining experience with beers and well-sauced wings. – In Short
Since 1981, this Buffalo, New York-style wing joint has served signature boneless tenders, wings and legs along with a selection of 12 zesty sauces, ranging from mild to blazin'. A full sports bar with big-screen TVs features potent cocktails, live televised games, NTN trivia and fantasy football. The full menu incorporates finger foods, grilled sandwiches and wraps, salads and burgers. Party platters and takeout options are popular.
Good food, but not so good service. – I was very excited when I moved back to Ohio from California and found out there was a B Dubbs right in my neighborhood. I used to frequent the old one on High Street during my days at OSU and also the one on Bethel Rd. I was sorely disappointed on my first and nearly every subsequent visit. Yes I have gone back, the food is too good and the atmosphere is still preferable to the other bars in my area. First of all I have gone in a few times where there is no hostess and no front desk service. Sometimes a hostess never shows up and you just have to go to the front desk and wait. They have gotten better at having a hostess there, maybe it was a staffing problem? I waited for literally 10 minutes once at the front desk on a Tuesday night for someone to take my order and they never came so I just left. I have also waited for a front desk person to finish a personal conversation with another worker before she would take my order. I have been ignored at the bar as well. The other problem is the kitchen staff. I was told if I order wings "wet" they put extra sauce on them for free. It is (citysearch didn't like me using the word that goes here) or miss whether I will actually get my wings "wet" or not. Usually it is a miss. I have also gone to pick up food I ordered over the phone and after being told it would be 20 minutes it took 45, just give me an acurate time and I will pick up later. This place would be great if they just took some pride in their work. I have worked some pretty crappy jobs, but I always made the best of it and put a smile on my face. Come on management, get on it!
Disgusting – This Bdubs is disgusting. The workers are horrible rude and stuffy. The wilds are sometimes cold when they come out to you. The servers are horribly rude. I would rather go to the one on Georgesville Rd. This bdubs is also really dirty too.. I know of some cooks who dont wash their hands. This is not a bdubs to go to.

One of the exciting aspects of fellowship training is the rapidity of the learning curve! One of the goals of our training program is to allow the fellow adequate time to read and process, as well as to develop critical thinking and research skills. At least one half day per week of the fellow's time will be devoted to research efforts. He or she will be expected to produce at least one manuscript of publishable quality during the fellowship year. The fellow will attend the IPOS course and may attend at least one other meeting, plus any meeting at which he or she is presenting a podium presentation.
The fellow also joins the faculty in giving some of the morning conference lectures to the residents and presenting cases at weekly grand rounds. Teaching conferences are held three mornings a week, and grand rounds are held each Thursday morning. There are also monthly multidisciplinary spine conferences and orthopedic research conferences in which the fellow will participate.

PORTLAND - Portland High trailed early, then its talent and depth kicked in and the Bulldogs rode it to a 57-39 boys' basketball win over Marshwood at the Portland Expo on the opening night of high school basketball Friday.
Matt Talbot, an emerging talent, paced Portland, which trailed by four points in the first quarter, with 14 points by halftime. Jayvon Pitts-Young took over in the second half, scoring 13 of his team-high 15.
"We did some things well and others not so well," said Portland Coach Joe Russo. "A typical opening game. When we rebounded on the weak side, we held them to one shot. I thought the reserves I put in early in the game did a nice job. It's a start. We'll see how we do on the road."
With the graduation of Peter Donato and Mike Herrick, it's Talbot's turn to step up and assume a scoring and rebounding presence. The 6-foot-5 junior answered the bell.
He scored all of his points in the first half. He missed back-to-back free throws early in the third quarter and really didn't look to score the rest of the way.
By then Pitts-Young had heated up. He made three 3-pointers in the second half.
Talbot finished with 11 rebounds.
"It's a new role for me that I'm willing to accept," said Talbot. "(Donato) set a good example and I'm just trying to follow. There's no more watching. I have to step up. There was a lot of hard work over the summer."
Marshwood took a 7-3 lead when Alex McLean and Brady Innes hit baskets around Danny Veino's 3-pointer. The lone Bulldog basket in the opening minutes was a 3-pointer by Talbot.
Talbot scored again and Nick Volger added a basket on a layup after a steal to make it 7-7.
Innes gave the Hawks back the lead but Steve Angelo, one of the reserves Russo mentioned, hit a 3-pointer to make it 10-9.
The Bulldogs took the lead for good 13-12 on a Volger free throw. They led 15-12 after one and outscored the Hawks 17-11 in the second quarter.
Portland put the game away with a 7-0 spurt to start the fourth quarter for a 16-point lead. Volger banked in a 3-pointer straight on. Pitts-Young scored and Nate Smart followed with a basket.
The Hawks didn't score until three minutes remained on a basket by Innes and finished with three points in the quarter. Several shots rimmed out.
Innes led Marshwood with 17 points.
"We made an emphasis in the huddle to come out in the fourth quarter and jump on them," said Talbot. "We knew the opening minutes were going to be decisive. If Marshwood had done it, it might have been a different story. There were a lot of positives tonight but also a lot of negatives. "
"Our defense was all right but it's not where we want it. We showed some depth. It's good to know that if I'm off, someone else like Jayvon can pick me up. We have several guys who can do it."

Hello currently we have just a sheet of vinyl in the kitchen that is just in real bad shape. has a few tears in it and its impossible to keep clean with the lightness in color and traffic from everywhere.
we are looking at those peel and stick Vinyl tiles that you can get at Home Depot or Lowes. my question is..
is it better to pull that old floor up and just put the peel and stick tiles on the subfloor or place the tiles over the existing.
i have read on several different boards that i can paint the subfloor with paint primer to give the peel and stick something to adhere to. Please advise.
Best thing to do is to pull up the old vinyl and replace with new sheet vinyl.
Peel and stick tiles are easy to install. That's about the only thing good about them. After a while they shrink up a little and/or move around which makes for some gaps between the tiles.
If you are looking for a quick fix that will not last forever then just do the peel and stick on top of your existing vinyl. Otherwise, do it right and use a solid sheet floor.
JAYBEE thanks for your advise.
Actually name brand products do last rather well. I installed a Armstrong product in my kitchen 15 years ago. And they still look rather well. And yes it was a "quick fix" type of job. But in the near future sheet vinyl would be the route I will be going.This message has been edited. Last edited by: CommonwealthSparky,
Popeye only reached for the Spinach can as a last resort...
Yeah Armstrong product were really good in those days,with perfect look and finish,well if doesn't require a change then why are you remodeling it.

Data compiled by Lucinda Fleeson and researcher David Allan.
By David Allan & Lucinda Fleeson David Allan is a former AJR editorial assistant. Lucinda Fleeson is director of the Hubert H. Humphrey Fellowship Program at the University of Maryland. She has trained journalists in Eastern and Central Europe, Africa, Latin America and, most recently, Sri Lanka, where she was a Fulbright Scholar. Her training manual for teaching investigative reporting in developing democracies has been published in 18 languages by the International Center for Journalists.
IN APRIL 1999, the Project on the State of the American Newspaper published its first survey of which newspapers and wire services regularly cover 19 federal departments and agencies that deal with everyday issues such as food safety, taxes, airline policy and workplace rules. The tally showed that over the previous decade, many newspaper and wire services had stopped assigning full-time reporters to many of these beats. When we revisited the same 19 departments and agencies for this month's story, we found that the trend away from full-time beat coverage had deepened somewhat. Not only had coverage declined at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Internal Revenue Service, but there were also defections from traditionally obligatory beats such as the State Department and the Department of Defense. In all, coverage had dropped at eight beats and increased at five. We found some increased vigilance at agencies now in the news. In April 1999, we reported that there was not one full-time reporter devoted to the Department of the Interior. Since then, the Washington Post and Denver Post have reactivated those beats to focus on the Bush administration's controversial environmental policies. Likewise the Wall Street Journal and New York Times have added coverage at the Federal Communications Commission, which is undergoing a policy revolution. Some increases came as a result of newcomers to the field who assigned reporters to Washington beats because of regional interests. The Hartford Courant, for instance, added a reporter at the Environmental Protection Agency, as well as at the Defense Department. In April 1999, we reported that financial beats--anything to do with the stock market--were more numerous than ever before; two years later we found that the Chicago Tribune, Scripps Howard and the Washington Times had shuttered those full-time beats. We defined beats as full time if a reporter devoted at least two-thirds of his or her time to a department or agency and closely related issues. Some cases involved judgment calls. The Wall Street Journal, for instance, technically does not have a full-time reporter in its Washington bureau covering the Federal Aviation Administration, but has seven reporters stationed around the country devoted to various aspects of aviation--so we counted the Journal as full time. Knight Ridder does not have a Justice Department reporter per se, but has created a new federal law-enforcement beat, covered by a former policeman--so we counted that as full time. Some papers had shifted coverage--the Los Angeles Times, for instance, dropped its IRS reporter, but added a Social Security Administration beat; the St. Petersburg Times closed its full-time Washington watch on Veterans Affairs but added a Food and Drug Administration reporter. We did not include business-information services such as Bloomberg, whose reporters cover much of Washington but for specialized audiences. We began our census in the summer of 2000 and then rechecked and updated it to catch any shifts due to the changing of the guard in Washington. The figures here are as of May 1.

text: Photos: Janelle Jones for DailyCandy New York's Flex Mussels pastry chef Zac Young has always loved "eating holidays" (like Thanksgiving). One tradition involved serving cranberry orange bread with dinner, not dessert. Young adapted the recipe by soaking it in alcohol ("It's the only way I can get through the holidays!") and serving it with ice cream and sauteed cranberries. Ingredients For the bread 1 egg 1 c. sugar 2 tbsp. butter 2 tbsp. frozen orange juice concentrate 6 oz. water 2 c. flour, sifted 1½ tsp. baking powder ½ tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. kosher salt 1 c. whole cranberries ½ c. walnuts, chopped and toasted For the glaze ¼ c. unsalted butter ¼ c. Grand Marnier 1. In a large bowl, beat the egg and sugar. 2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and orange juice. Add water and whisk the liquid into the egg mixture. 3. Mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, then add to the egg mixture. 4. Fold in cranberries and walnuts. Pour into a sprayed loaf pan and bake at 325° for 45 minutes (convection), 350° for 50 minutes (regular oven), or until a toothpick comes out clean. 5. For the soaking glaze, melt butter and Grand Marnier. When the bread comes out of the oven, poke the top of the loaf with a skewer to vent. Pour half the glaze on top and wait for it to absorb. Pour the rest and let cool completely. 6. Slice and eat!
