It's All Greek to Me
In our household, it's a pretty common occurrence for me to pick the mister up from work and for us to grab a bite somewhere before heading home. It's not that we don't love to cook, we just love other people's cooking more. I don't think that's such a bad thing; it meant that I recently got to hit up It's All Greek to Me on Quinpool Road for an early supper. We waltzed in at around 4:30 and were surprised that the place was empty. We stood there for a minute wondering if they were in fact open or if they'd just left the door unlocked, when a really lovely server greeted us. We took a table by the window and got right down to business ordering a starter of skordalia. Skordalia is such a comfort food; the potatoes, the abundance of garlic and the richness of the olive oil make it a winner when served with pita bread, but we opted to have it served with Kolokithia, thick slices of zucchini breaded and deep fried to perfection. The brightness and warm, soft texture of the zucchini were made that much more delicious by the crunchy batter. I could eat this spread all day. I don't care if it means I'll have garlic emanating from my pores for the next twenty-four hours, because it's worth it.
I'd really had my heart set on Moussaka, but was told the kitchen was out which surprised me since the supper rush had not yet begun. I opted instead for Pastichio, a close substituition for Moussaka with its similar meat sauce, and béchamel but with the addition of long macaroni noodles. For $14 it was served with roasted potatoes and a Greek salad. The béchamel held its form wonderfully and although delicious there wasn't a chance of me being able to finish because of how rich it was. The meat was a consistent texture, moist and flavourful with a delicious blend of spices which had me savouring every bite. The noodles were slightly dry but it didn't take away from the flavour of the dish.
I hereby profess my love of Greek roasted potatoes. With their lemony aroma and flavour they entice with a zesty lightness that has me coming back for more. As far as Greek salads go, they were generous with both the feta and the Kalamata olives (yay!) and it thankfully wasn't drowning in dressing like so many Greek salads that have come across my plate.
I think my favourite part of the meal though was when I realized in a moment of panic that I didn't have my wallet (nor did my dinner partner as I'd said this would be my treat) and I had to frantically drive home in rush hour traffic to retrieve it while he picked at the last bites on our plates for a solid twenty minutes. Hey, there's a first time for everything. Let's hope that never happens again though…

"Borderline" anemia can usually be corrected just by increasing your dietary supply of iron, without taking iron supplements. If your child is anemic, here's how to restock the iron deficient body stores and elevate the hemoglobin level to normal:
Step 1: Using diet to correct anemia in infants requires about one milligram of dietary iron per pound per day. So a twenty-pound infant would need a minimum of 20 milligrams of iron per day, or about twice the usual RDA. Depending on your infant's willingness to eat a lot of iron-rich foods, it can be difficult to correct anemia with dietary measures alone. The good news is that the intestines compensate for iron deficiency by increasing the percentage of iron absorbed from foods, and you can improve iron absorption by combining good iron sources with vitamin C sources. It usually requires even more dietary iron than the above amount to correct anemia, but if your infant is only slightly anemic, it is worth trying the dietary increase for a couple of weeks, and then having your doctor recheck baby's hemoglobin.
Step 2: If dietary iron does not produce a significant improvement in your infant's hemoglobin and/or serum ferritin, it would be wise to begin giving your child iron supplements in the form of drops or pills in the dosage and timing recommended by your doctor. The usual oral dose is two milligrams per pound given three times a day between meals to enhance absorption. The iron syrup that is usually recommended for children is ferrous sulfate or ferrous succinate. During the first three weeks of treatment the hemoglobin increases at a rate of 0.15 to 0.25 grams per day, so if your infant has a hemoglobin of nine and it should be eleven, expect it to take around three weeks to reach this level. In order to replenish the depleted iron stores, it's best to continue oral iron supplements for at least two months after the hemoglobin becomes normal.
Step 3: If your baby's hemoglobin is not increasing by at least one gram after two to four weeks of treatment, your doctor may either want to increase the dosage of iron supplement or do some further blood tests to determine if the anemia has other causes besides iron deficiency.

Is when your gaming and sniping Brett and he starts trying to change the rules so he can come close to winning Brett: man lets make our own map and set secret weapons!
Mike, Alex, Adam, Pitt: your fucking gay brett you should go throw your Xbox out a 4 floor window *Brett leaves* Mike: We Fucking Murk'd Brett |
1. | murk'd | ||
v. to kill or murder someone in the heat of anger.
ex. my boy was walking down the street and got murk'd over some beat ass shit.
2. | murk'd | ||
To get hammered, trashed, wasted, sh*tfaced, bombed, and/or smashed beyond belief. "Ronald got Murk'd at Parable and Movie_boy's jam on March 20th, too many $3 tequila shots"
4. | Murk'd | ||
A word coined in online gaming by Traitornator and Azrakel225. It is a general term, used to describe somebody who just got utterly pwned. Usually the pwn involves a surprise attack while the victim is busy, thus catching him/her unaware of the attacker. As such, a person can only be murk'd if he is killed by the first, second, or (sometimes) third bullet. After the 3rd shot the person is considered aware, and thus cannot be murk'd. Ya' got murk'd son, murk'd.

I don't think teachers who are passionate about teaching should quit, no matter how awful the circumstances.
I know it's easy for me to say, because I am not there.
But it is important to keep experience and wisdom in the profession.
Don't let them push you out.
Do what you love and what you believe in.
Be there the day this war on teachers ends, a victim of its inanity, stupidity, and ignorance.
Be there for your students.
This is a teacher who couldn't take it anymore.
I retired early with just 20 years because the profession I have been so dedicated to and passionate about my entire life has been trashed by reformers like this idiot who don't know what they are talking about; by the mayor and his educrats who have taken to vilifying teachers and disrespecting us at every turn; by the principals who haven't taught long enough to be considered pedagogical experts on anything; by the most micromanaged, scripted, suffocating instructional mandates (everyone teaching the same lesson on the same day at the same time…day1, day2, day 3, day4, day 5, test); by the incessant and overwhelming collection of data that appears to have more value than actual creative planning and professional judgement. We have principals and Network leaders whose english and communication skills are abysmal; superintendents who don't visit the schools they oversee; and a culture that supports the abusive and punitive treatment of teachers. This is antithetical to everything that made me want to become a teacher. New York City has lost many outstanding and experienced teachers in the past 5 years who left because they refuse to continue working under such conditions. Under the current system of school based budgeting, it's always a good thing when a senior teacher leaves -they can hire two teachers at half the salary. When you're looking at numbers and not people, that's what really matters. |

This piece appeared in The Independent and The i on Friday 6 January, 2012.
Thank goodness it's a new year because, let's face it, last year wasn't all that great. Unemployment soared to 2.62 million and, according to some reports, around 1,589 people were made redundant every day. Just as well we can start again, then.
Thankfully, there is something to be optimistic about. Those unemployment statistics are far from inspiring, but on the upside, working from home is booming. According to the Live Work Network, the number of people working from home has gone up 21 per cent since 2001, with one in 12 Brits now running their own business from home. For nearly three million people, home isn't just where the heart is, it's where the money is too. But what's it like in reality when your work space is actually your living space? And, if you're starting the new year with a career change that starts at home, what's the best way to set up a workspace which will inspire and motivate, rather than distract, you?
Judy Heminsley, author of Work From Home, has a home office in the converted mill she shares with her partner in Frome, Somerset. She says: "Often people who work from home maintain an office mentality. They set up a room to look exactly like an uninspiring corner of the office, with a boring desk, chair and grey filling cabinet. Obviously, your office furniture has to be suitable, but it doesn't have to be ugly. It makes sense that your surroundings affect how you feel; if you are surrounded by things that make you happy, then intuitively it's got to have a knock on effect on how productive you are."
Jane Cumberbatch, an interior design author who works from her London home, agrees. "People don't think about the importance of having a personalised workspace. It should be intimate and calming. That's the beauty of not being in a conventional office – you can make your work space at home entirely yours."
Before she moved house, there wasn't room for Cumberbatch to have an office; instead, she worked from a desk in the hallway. "Even though there wasn't much room, I made the most of it by having shelves above my desk that went right up to the ceiling," she says. "Storage is key. My solution was to have stackable boxes for paperwork and intersperse the open shelves with pictures and decorative objects to make it feel like a feature point. If you buy boxes in the same or contrasting colour then you can create an organised feel."
Cumberbatch now works in a big, light room with open shelves and an inspiration wall. But what if your home isn't big enough to allow you to have your very own work room? "It's not totally necessary to have an office space that you literally close the door on at the end of the day," says Heminsley. "It depends on your personality. Some find that if they are in an enclosed space, they get nothing done. It's important to get a sense of where you want to be when you work."
So how do other work-from-homers work from home?
The therapist
Heather Bestel moved from a semi in Liverpool to a six-bedroom farmhouse in south-west Scotland in 2006, where she works as a therapist and stress-management consultant.
"It got to the point where I was talking to stressed-out executives about the importance of a work-life balance, when the irony was I was so stressed-out myself. As a family, we wanted a better quality of life, so we moved to Scotland and I do all my consultations over Skype.
"Working from home is wonderful. Originally, I designated a bedroom to be my study, but it felt very closed off. I still do my consultations in there, but I prefer working in the kitchen, especially when it's cold, as that's where the Aga is. Being in the kitchen lets me be in the heart of the house, where I can get on with sending emails while my husband makes tea or my daughter tells me how school was.
"I wanted to create a sense of comfort and I like the country-cottage, shabby-chic style. I love to work on a table with a bunch of flowers in the middle, but if I was in an office, people would just think I was weird if I started bringing flowers in. As a stress-management consultant, I believe it's very important that your working environment is calm. Just because it's an office, it doesn't have to be sterile."
The small-business owner
Deany Judd lives in Whitecraigs, south Glasgow, with her three children, husband and two dogs. She teaches an online tuition course, called Star Student, from home. "I used to work from a room in the house which was always the dumping ground. Every time the phone rang, I had to ask the caller to hold and put the laundry on and off.
"I hated it. Tutoring online means I record lessons and Skype pupils, and I couldn't do that from a glorified laundry room. So I turned the dining room, which we hardly ever used, into my study.
"I wanted a really grown-up looking study. An interior designer friend helped come up with the grey colour scheme. I chose a glass desk, because it gives a really airy feel, and I got my desk chair from Ikea – it's comfortable, but wasn't too expensive. I had wanted bookshelves forever, and this room finally had the space to build them. I've also got tons of photos of the children and my husband dotted around the shelves. My husband is pretty opinionated about the other rooms in the house, but I just did it how I wanted it!
"I tend to only work in the study now, and since having it, I can close the door and separate the working day from family time."
The writer
Food writer Nick Baines lives with his wife Emma in a two-bed flat in Westbourne, Bournemouth. He writes at the kitchen table.
"I have a desk in the spare room, but it's a dumping ground for all sorts of stuff which does my head in. It is devoid of inspiration. The kitchen table is where I get most done; writing about food, it feels right being in the kitchen.
"It is frustrating sometimes, though. Right now, all my books are in the lounge and spill into the kitchen and if I had the space, I'd love to have my books in one place and work right by them. I'd kill for an open fire and a wing-back chair in the corner to read in. That would be nice.
"Mostly though, I'm pretty set with just a table, a chair and tea. Tea inspires me to work. I need space to stick my ideas up and write them down, and that's what the blackboard is for. I usually have notes stuck up on the wall too. I work on the go a lot, writing from hotel rooms and service stations and cafés. So it's always good to get home, come back to the kitchen, flick the kettle on and pull the chair out.
"The kitchen really is my little haven. It's where I work best, where plans are developed, decisions are made and where we eat. It's the starting point to everything, and I think that's why I like it. It's a place for ideas and relaxation all at once."
The photographer
Former television producer Rosie Bray, 35, works as a lifestyle photographer from the three-bedroom Victorian cottage in Weybridge where she lives with her husband.
"My office is in a small, light bedroom upstairs at the back of the house. It's got plain white walls, which are great as a blank canvas for my photography. I photograph children and families in their homes and on location but all the editing and post-processing happens here in my office, along with all the other various jobs that come with running a small business.
"I love clean, white, simple design with a touch of pretty. I have an 'inspiration board' above my desk that changes regularly, where I cut out and stick up anything that catches my eye.
"Having worked as a producer, I'm used to the hustle and bustle of an open-plan office environment, but there's nothing like having a quiet room of your own. The room overlooks the garden – perfect for day-dreaming.
"Storage is really important (God bless Ikea), and I crave good light so I like being near the window. I compromised on style for comfort when it came to my chair – I need proper back support for the hours spent editing at my computer. It's not the prettiest of chairs but comfort wins. I got it from a company called Milan Direct.
"A good home office should also be your ideal bedroom/retreat so that you love being there, and I genuinely look forward to 'going to work' every day. Work feels less of the daily grind and more of a daily pleasure. And I love that I can wear slippers to work."

Puppies live at the center until they are 16 weeks old in order to learn basic behavioral skills. After the age of 16 weeks, the puppies enter our Prison PUP Partnership for training. About 12-18 months later they return to the NEADS campus for advanced training.
Name-A-Puppy benefits include:
Puppy naming guidelines
Names must not sound like basic commands, such as "no," "down," or "sit." Be creative, but be respectful of the puppy, the puppy trainer and the puppy's future handler. NEADS reserves the right to reject names that it deems unsuitable, inappropriate or offensive.
Your donation will name one puppy only and does not include any form of ownership rights to the puppy. Funds donated to Name-A-Puppy cannot be restricted for a specific client or type of assistance dog (i.e. hearing dog, service dog, Canine for Combat Veterans dog) since the dogs must mature before we can determine their particular area of strength. Not all puppies have the aptitude or temperament to become an assistance dog. Should a puppy not complete the program, your funds will be redirected to support an assistance dog team in the next graduating class, and your contribution will be recognized as such.

The use of trade books to supplement science textbooks in the classroom is a proven, effective strategy to combine science and reading education for children in a way that is genuinely interesting to them. In the new NSTA Press book Teaching Science Through Trade Books, authors Christine Anne Royce, Emily Morgan, and Karen Ansberry compiled 50 entries from their popular "Teaching Through Trade Books" column in NSTA's journal Science and Children. These engaging, ready-to-teach lessons each highlight two trade books and suggest two related activities, one for K–3 and one for grades 4–6. Topics in the collection cover a wide range of science disciplines, including Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science; Physical Science; Life Science; and Earth and Space Science. Trade books such as How is a Pencil Made? and The Man Who Walked Between the Towers are sure to grab students' attention, introduce science ideas, and ensure that the subsequent lessons are enjoyed and absorbed. Teaching Science Through Trade Books is a valuable resource for teachers as it offers appealing, effective activities to accompany beloved and educational children's books. To read the free chapter "Cloud Watchers," click over to the book's page in the Science Store and look for the link next to "Read inside." The NSTA's Picture Perfect Science Lessons Series is another good resource for teachers looking to combine reading and science lessons. The Children's Book Council and NSTA annually develop a list of Outstanding Science Trade Books for Students K–12. It is a great resource for trade books teachers could use in the classroom.

text: After weeks of searching for a missing pair of vacationing friends, authorities in Oregon have found the remains of Father David Schwartz and Cheryl Gibbs. Cops say they most likely died soon after they stopped at the Tillamook Cheese Factory on June 8, 2007, where they signed a guest book. On July 1, 2007, sheriff's deputies and volunteers discovered Schwartz's car down an embankment off Highway 26, northwest of Portland. Investigators believe that the longtime friends had missed a turn and tragically careened off the highway.

His eyes rested for a moment on Levington who met the stare unflinchingly and the prisoner turned away. The Court read the complaint charging that Dunn "did feloniously wilfully and of his malice aforethought, kill and murder William Salisbury." W. W. Green, his attorney, answered for the prisoner, saying that he desired to waive examination, "but" he added, "if this were a charge to flinch Ave could plead, we should say most emphatically not guilty." This- remark was intended to paralyze the spectators, but it failed to make an impression. Justice Mclntyre said that this is a case in which bail cannot be given, and he then committed Dunn to jail to await trial at the November term of the circuit court. \. \ JOB PRINTING I Of all Kinds nt the Press Office Nice New Type.

Can we make the shift to tolled express lanes?
Two political problems this good idea faces: getting carpoolers to pay for express lanes, since they now ride free; and finding the political staying power to let an innovative idea prove itself.
The state is stepping up to putting more tolls on highways, bridges, and tunnels. As the talk and the politics intensify, particularly for a section of I-405 from Bellevue to Bothell, here's a lexicon for express toll lanes, HOT Lanes, carpool lanes, and HOV lanes. Plus a quick look at one of the most interesting problems that lurks in the discussion.
Express toll lanes and HOT ("High Occupancy Toll") lanes are the same thing. The idea is that a highway lane (tolled or not) ought to be used right to the verge of the volume of vehicles that cause it to clog into a traffic jam. This can be achieved even in peak hours with constantly varying toll rates — dunned electronically to drivers' accounts — that go up and down to induce or deter just the right number of drivers to choose the lane. That many. No more.
Variable tolling systems for express toll lanes have only emerged in the last decade. And they rapidly continue to improve to make billing simpler and toll lanes easier to use.
These toll lanes have one purpose in common with that other highway management approach, the old-style carpool or HOV ("High Occupancy Vehicle") lanes. But they also have one key difference.
The common purpose is to make sure at least part of the roadway is free of congestion. That's essential for reliable bus and vanpool services that move a lot of people in the space for one vehicle and help ease the overall volume of auto traffic.
The difference is that in an express toll lane the choice of the fast lane is for a price that goes up (or down) depending on how much more traffic the lane can handle. In a carpool lane the arbitrary test for use of the lane is how many people are in the car, no matter how full or empty the lane is.
The traditional carpool lane has its limitations when the entry ticket is the inflexible criteria of two or more people in the car. Sometimes drivers in adjoining jammed regular lanes look over to a seemingly underused carpool lane. Why can't there be more cars in it to get better use from it? Good question!
Today, more frequently the problem is that in peak hours so many two-to-a-car vehicles flood into the carpool lane that it's as bad as the regular lanes: stalled speeds, shrunken volumes. (In the Puget Sound Region there are probably in excess of 50,000 more daily carpool trips today than in 1990.) When that happens there is no fast lane for transit or for anyone else, including the carpoolers. Big drawback!
That problem is no surprise. When carpool lanes were first established there was a vigorous "now or later" debate about the right limit for the carpool privilege: two-to-a-car, or three-to-a-car? Pragmatism won. Except for three-to-a-car from the start on the Evergreen Point Bridge, carpool lanes were introduced with the two-to-a-car rule.
Everyone involved at the time believed that later the rule would have to be, and could be, changed to three-to-a-car. Everyone was entirely up-front about this expectation. The trigger would be the growth of traffic in the carpool lanes to the point where access would have to be cut back so that they would still work.
Didn't happen. Good luck today with that ticking time bomb for a political revolt. The moment of truth is at hand, at least for some carpool lane segments. But no one today seriously talks about outright banishing the two-to-a-car carpoolers to thin out jammed carpool lanes.
Reluctance to disenfranchise two-to-a-car carpoolers is so high that even today's express toll lane proposals envision free passage for those carpoolers. And the pilot project on State Highway 167, a carpool lane converted to an express toll lane so everybody can choose to use it, still operates that way.
It will surely be no slam-dunk, but express toll lanes might provide an answer for this devilish problem of transition for the carpool lanes. Eventually everybody including carpoolers could be put on an even footing in choosing to pay to be in an express toll lane.
But there's a huge "if." And that is whether the promise of express toll lanes proves convincing in practice. Overall the high efficiency and free flow of the priced lanes should move greater numbers of vehicles, not just move a few vehicles faster. The evidence, so far, is good. For example in Miami this innovation of express lane tolling has been the "aha" revelation.
If the system works here an entire roadway, tolled lanes and free, will move better. And if that's shown, people could more readily accept new rules for tolling carpoolers as part of the system.
Innovations are almost all the same. Their real power to change the way things are done is when they work, not just when they sound good.
For express toll lane first we have to agree to try them on a busy corridor where they can really prove their mettle. Then we have to iron out kinks and get used to how they work. Then we can soberly judge how many problems they might help to solve. Would they, for example, help on I-5 by speeding today's not-tolled, sometimes-express, reversible lanes between downtown and Northgate?

The answer to your question is not no, it is HELL NO! Thank you.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 7:47 a.m.
Doug, the point of carpool lanes is not spare capacity. The point is incenting people to use alternative forms of transportation to single-occupancy vehicles... all of which do far more to reduce congestion than "tolled express lanes". Heck, we should be tolling the non-express lanes.
Remember, that HOV lane may *appear* empty, but in most cases, I would be it's moving more passengers per mile than any other lane of the road.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 8:41 a.m.
Great article. Key point - HOT lanes are good for EVERY driver, regardless of whether that driver chooses to use them.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 10:07 a.m.
ericgoetz has the beginning of a great idea: toll single-occupancy vehicles whenever they use the Interstate highways -- then use the money to build adequate public transport: not just trolleys and trains, but trains that run on electricity and take advantage of the fact we (thanks to Bonneville and the New Deal in general) have the second cheapest electricity in the nation.
(Of course it won't happen: Big Oil and Big Automotive are too powerful, especially here in the Moron Nation province of Pugetopolis, where the car-huggers rule.)

Yeah; and let's start charging bicycles and foot passengers to pay for all their special sharrows, pathways on I-90, new bridge accomodating pathways, etc. Tolling only drivers is sickening and will cause a real backlash in automobileland.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 10:59 a.m.
Not another brochure about tolling.
How about some history about how we arrived at needing tolls on top of gas taxes? Or the gross unfairness of tolls and the hardship it places on those who can least afford them? Or why are we're spending BILLIONS of extras dollars on transportation projects to provide favors for a few special interests?
Now that would be an article that would be of benefit to everyone.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 11:52 a.m.
Why not make the carpool lanes variable? As the number of cars goes up, increase the number of passengers required for the carpool lane.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 2:32 p.m.
@animalal; the reason to toll drivers, is because single occupancy vehicles use far more of the road than alternate forms of travel (e.g. transit, bicycle, pedestrians, etc). It's perfectly fair. Charge those who use the resource the most.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 2:36 p.m.
My opinion: You've heard of "plop art" or "plop development"? -in other words, predesigned features that are merely plopped into place with no regard for context. I feel that merely "plopping down" toll lanes into Seattle will carry with it the same sort of unintended consequences that might accompany any other "plop" project. Two things stand out to me.
One is socio-economic inequity. The poor are either tolled off the facility entirely, or must pay a greater share of their resources (as compared to a wealthier person) to use a common facility. This creates a systematic inequity related to users' ability to pay & may also disproportionately relegate the poor to certain areas if their travel is hampered. (This may have racial implications as well.)
The other is the health & well being of major arts programs & institutions- live music, theater, or dance; history & art museums; or even tourist draws such as Seattle Center or Pike Place. Tolling creates an impediment for regional visitors who might, like me, come from a couple of counties away to enjoy a day or evening in Seattle. Sure, this may prop up arts in surrounding areas if people turn away from "going into the big city" & instead focus on local offerings, but at the same time it could be devastating to the arts within Seattle.
Nobody but me seems to be talking about these sort of ancillary impacts. I guess we'll see what happens.

Normally, if given the choice, people prefer to get something for free than to pay for it. So when the question of roads' tolling arises, it is natural for people to resist it. Having been paid for with gas taxes, roads are mostly free now. Why pay for them again?
But of course they need to be maintained and expanded as the population expands, and gas taxes are falling behind. And when a significant number of us switch to electric vehicles, the problem is going to accelerate. So new taxes of some kind are inevitable, and tolling is likely the way we are going to go. This is equitable in that those who use the roads, pay for them.
The kind of tolling that is levied makes a considerable difference though. What we are most used to is the flat-rate variety, such as found on some of our bridges. With flat-rate tolling it makes no difference whether you use the facility at 3am, when there is no traffic, or 3pm, when there is a lot. In other realms of our life, though, variable prices are familiar. The price of an airline ticket varies considerably, depending on when you want to travel. This is simply the balance of supply and demand applied to an airline ticket. Offer me a round trip ticket to Paris for $200, and I'll likely drop everything and fly. Make it $2,000 and I'll wait.
Balancing supply with demand also makes sense on our roads, particularly because roads have a strange characteristic not generally found elsewhere. And that is when they get too crowded, their ability to move traffic rapidly diminishes. Add cars to a freeway and volume goes up as speed diminishes. But add too many cars, and all at once both speed and volume drop precipitously. At that point, while the road may be a 4 lane freeway, it is carrying the equivalent of perhaps 2 lanes. In which case its capacity is cut in half exactly when capacity is needed the most, at rush hours. It's as if hot molasses were quickly cooled, and, of course, cool molasses doesn't flow very well. While everybody is familiar with this phenomenon, few have thought through its implications.
One implication is that we're not getting anywhere near the capacity we paid for when we most need it. Another is that if we want to get that capacity back, we absolutely must regulate the flow of traffic onto our freeways. We try to do this with ramp metering, and that does work up to a point. Without ramp metering our freeways would work much worse during rush hours than they do today. But of course there is that qualifier, 'up to a point'. It's better than nothing, but …
The kind of variable pricing to be discussed here is called 'dynamic' pricing. What is dynamic about this kind of pricing is that it varies continuously with demand, changing every few minutes. From one perspective, this is 'ramp metering on steroids'. Without getting into the details, using dynamic pricing it is possible to fill the freeway lanes to their exact maximum number of vehicles per hour, but no more (thus keeping the hot molasses from cooling).
If you dynamically price an existing HOV lane, continuing to let 2 or 3 person carpools use it gratis, then that is called a HOT (high occupancy/toll) lane. Because so many vehicles use it for free, such a lane does not produce a lot of net revenue. Of course if you 'raise the bar' so that only vanpools and buses are allowed to use it for free, then it produces a lot more revenue (and becomes a lot easier to police). It is also possible to make more than one lane each direction HOT, thus producing additional revenue.
As well as producing revenue, every lane that is HOT will carry the maximum amount of traffic. In doing so it will also benefit the adjoining (free) lanes, although not to the same extent as the priced lanes themselves. And you can make all lanes HOT, in which case you have a dynamically priced freeway.
A dynamically priced freeway (all lanes HOT) will always carry the maximum number of vehicles possible at all times. It will always be in equilibrium: supply = demand. And if the net revenue from tolling is applied to expansion and improvements on that facility, it will stay in equilibrium perpetually. Depending on political considerations, this is where we're headed.
Next step: computer-controlled vehicles in certain lanes, allowing two or three times the through-put per hour.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 4:24 p.m.
What suggestion I do not see people making here is the number of children and non-licensed drivers being passed off as part of congestion reduction.
Isn't the purpose of a carpool lane to get more cars off the road? Well, then how does transporting children or other non-licensed drivers reduce the number of cars on the road? Answer: It's doesn't!
Allowing people that can't legally operate a motor vehicle to be used as carpool bait is not traffic reduction, it's pandering plain and simple. Not even proposing this in the article is purely thoughtless. Same goes for suspended drivers. Using them as carpool stock does nothing to reduce traffic. They can't legally drive a car anyway.
Why not just change the law to not include those two demographics? Then I will take seriously that the State of Washington is ready to get serious about traffic.
Posted Tue, Mar 29, 8:02 p.m.
Ladies and gentlemen, we already have HOT lanes on 405. They are called HOV lanes. Many solo drivers choose to drive in the HOV lane, making an economic bet that the chances are low that they will get caught. If they drive in the HOV lane and get caught, they end up paying a really expensive, one-time toll (ie, a ticket). But if they don't get caught --- and more often or not they don't --- the toll is $0.
Our current system is just an arbitrary (get caught or not) and inefficient (no real traffic flow maximization) way of doing what Sec MacDonald has proposed --- HOT tolling on 405.
I'm a libertarian and don't like taxes one bit. But given the choice between the current arbitrary and inefficient use of HOV lanes as de facto HOT lanes, I would much rather see tolls, which are less arbitrary and offer the chance of traffic flow maximization.

It figures

What it figures that Eric a college educated person can see the future while old guys rant about it being better in the old days? Got news for you, the price of fuel is going up and it isn't coming down. Better to make the best use of the resources we've already spent our money on than dream of more lanes of asphalt.
Posted Thu, Mar 31, 8:56 a.m.
Not because Eric went to college and Cameron didn't. I suspect Cameron did, as he writes very fluently and is persuasive, even if in my opinion he's on the wrong side of the argument.
But because Cameron dismissed his argument, not with facts, but with a personal slander based on his youth.
Instead, I offer that if you knew that energy costs were going to triple in 20 years what would be the best plan to deal with that? My plan is that you build a transportation network that minimizes the cost of energy to run and maintain. We can see how energy inefficient SOV freeways are, and how encouraging people to share those vehicles doubles the passenger gas/mileage numbers. And how costly it is to add more lanes to the existing freeways. Better to get more utilization of the existing structure with some usage taxes. And build something that will still move people but for less cost/mile.

The Islamic Threat to Eastern Central Asia
Article comments
Published in: Journal of Social, Political, and Economic Studies, 31 (Winter 2006): 375-97.
Utilizing the works of Uzbek scholars and journalists, the authors offer an analysis of the emergence of a culture of violence in post-Soviet Central Asia. This violence has been expressed in the form of terrorist strikes against security personnel as well as suicide attacks on civilian targets. What began as a cultural reawakening throughout Central Asia is evolving into a jihadist campaign to undermine secular authority. Thus, regional violence has been steadily increasing over the past five years.

Home Citizens Against Ugly Street Spam
Organized Living has a few retail stores in the Kansas City area, and has been promoting some sort of a "warehouse sale" using street spam.I've seen probably a dozen of these signs in Olathe, as well as in Overland Park, where city officials are supposedly cracking down on the problem.I have picked up one of these signs and am considering hand-delivering it to the city offices. It's about time that OP makes an example of a business like this, so that other people will not follow their bad example.-Nicepants
Good idea. We have a company here that is spamming with very big signs on private property. We have involved Code Enforcement in several cities on this issue. I suggest you contact your city and county Code Enforcement departments and see what they have to say. Also, I have some information I can send them once you make contact. (Send me a personal message when you make contact).Thanks!DenverShark

Publishing Team Foundation Server 2005 (Single-Server Mode) with ISA Server 2006
December 12, 2008 at 4:54 pm | Posted in ISA Server, Team Foundation Sever | 1 CommentTags: ISA Server, ISA Server Publication, Team Foundation Server
Publishing a TFS within an ISA Server basically depends on creating three rules for web sites: One will use the TFS default port (8080), the second will use SharePoint (on port 17012) and the other one is for the common HTTP port (80).
A small comment about this: The same configuration described here, can also work for Team Foundation Server 2008.
It's very important that you already have defined your public name for the TFS Server and even more important that this public name can be resolved by the ISA Server and over the Internet.
Let's start then:
1 – Publish TFS Services
1.1 – Select "Publish Web Site" and use the proper name for that rule.
1.2 – Select "Publish a single Web Site or load balancer".
1.3 – If you are not going to use SSL the just select "Use non-secured connections…"
1.4 – In this step you must indicate the FQDN that the clients will use to connect with the Team Foundation Server. Remember that this name should be already accessible for the ISA Server.
1.5 – No selection on Path and select "Forward the original host header…"
1.6 – Select "Accept Requests for: This domain name (type below)" and use the public TFS name again.
1.7 – On the next window you will need to create a Web Listener, which will be accepting the incoming requests for TFS Services port.
1.8 – Select again what kind of HTTP connections will use, secure or not secure.
1.9 – Select that the Listener will be getting the requests from the External network that you should already have on your ISA Server
1.10 Select that the Listener will not require authentication. This process will be done by the TFS itself.
1.11 Hit Next and Finish the new listener creation.
1.12 Once that the creation of the listener finishes, you'll be back at the rule wizard.
Leave selection of "No delegation, and client cannot authenticate directly"
1.13 Leave the "All Users" option and hit Next.
1.14 The wizard will complete but that's not all. The web listener and the rules that you just created it actually didn't complete with their proper configuration, all the listeners are created to "listen" in the default port of HTTP. Like TFS use the port 8080 to receive incoming requests, we will need to change that default port.
Access the rule properties and get to the "Bridging" and select the port 8080.
Now enter to the listener properties and select on "Connections" the correct port.
On "Authentication" select "Advanced" and check the option "Allow client authentication over HTTP"
1.15 Hit OK twice and the rule for TFS Services it's ready.
2 – Publish TFS SharePoint
This rule follows the same configuration that the TFS Services on the steps 1 to 13. As you can imagine the differences are made within the ports configuration, and we will replace the 8080 used on the first rule by the 17012 of our SharePoint Services.
2.1 Enter the properties of the rule you just created for the SharePoint services and Access to the "Bridging" options and select the 17012 port.
Access the Listener properties and select "Connections" with the proper port:
Again on "Authentication" select "Advanced" and mark "Allow client authentication over HTTP"
2.2 Now the TFS SharePoint Rule it's created.
3 – Publish TFS www
Like the other two rules, the steps from 1 to 13 are completely the same. Like this rule it's representing an HTTP connection, neither ports on the Bridging option nor the Web Listener needs to be changed, they must keep as the default port 80 configured. The only thing that you must do is the authentication method, as we did on the first two.
3.1 "Authentication" select "Advanced" and "Allow client authentication over HTTP"
3.2 Hit OK twice and you are set to go.
That's pretty much everything to do.
There's a common issue within TFS public name. When you use this FQDN to connect over the Internet, it appears that the users have not the proper permissions, making the "Documents" and "Reports" items unavailable, for Team Explorer. You should check another post of mine that has the workaround for that problem.
Also here's an interesting article about how ISA Server handles authentication:
I hope you find it useful!
Common issue using Team Foundation Server with an external connection: Documents and Reports items becomes unavailable
December 12, 2008 at 4:35 pm | Posted in Team Foundation Sever | 2 CommentsTags: Source Control, Team Foundation Server, Troubleshooting
Team Foundation Server is a very useful tool for team work, badly designed (no secret about that), but useful. The definition itself for TFS almost obligates you that this tool must be accessible not only from the internal network from your company, but also must be from external networks and the Internet.
That's when the problem appears. If you use Internet as the media to connect to TFS, probably you have this issue: even with all the permission in place, the Documents and Reports items from Team Explorer becomes unavailable.
Like you know, you can use the FQDN (fully qualified domain name) of the Team Foundation Server name as the connection's name with Team Explorer, for example: server01.domain.com. Or even you can use the server's IP. But what happens if you want to work at home with any project within TFS?. If you don't have a VPN (virtual private network) at your organization to make valid connections with Active Directory it can be very difficult to accomplish that.
First you must achieve that you actually have a FQDN available to be used over the Internet. For example, if you own a web site for your organization, like http://www.mycompany.com, you can add a DNS record (tfs.mycompany.com) as a valid connection for your server. This post it's intended to solve the named issue for TFS and not to guide you for a proper configuration of TFS over Internet, we can dedicate that topic to another post.
Let's focus on the problem. You have everything in place for a TFS connection over the Internet but you get the Documents and Reports items unavailable, like if you don't have the proper permissions in place. This is a common issue within the SQL Reporting Services and the FQDN of your TFS connection. Here's the solution:
1 – Open cmd on your Team Foudantion Server. If you have a dual-server configuration, this must be done on the Application Tier.
2 – Type "cd %programfiles%Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Team Foundation ServerTools" and press enter.
3 – Run "tfsadminutil activateat "
4 – Run "regedit.exe".
5 – Access HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftVisualStudio8.0TeamFoundationReportServer
6 – Right-click on the "Key" record and select "Modify".
7 – Insert the TFS FQDN that you use over the Internet connection.
Now test again the connection with your Team Explorer and all the items should be available to you.
I hope you find it useful!
Quick Step-by-Step Installation Guide for Team Foundation Server – Single Server Mode
December 12, 2008 at 12:16 pm | Posted in Team Foundation Sever | 2 CommentsTags: Step-by-Step, Team Foundation Server
If you are thinking that you have all the installation requirements for Team Foundation Server, to avoid surprises, check them again:
In a clean installation of Windows Server 2003, install all the components in the order that they are listed here:
- First of all, the complete enviorenment of TFS in a single-server mode must be in 32bits.
- Windows Server 2003 with SP1 or SP2 (R2 optional): Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter editions supported.
- Internet Information Services 6.0 with ASP.NET enabled (and no support to Front Page Extensions, they are incompatible with Sharepoint). In addition, IIS must have a default web site.
- SQL Server 2005 SP1 or SP2 Standard or Enterprise Edition as the default instance of SQL Server *. If you are not planning to install SP1 on your SQL 2005, the hotfix KB912838 is required for TFS installation.
- .Net Framework 2.0 with the hotfix KB913393 installed.
- Windows Sharepoint Services 2.0 with SP2. Server-farm type of installation **.
- If you are using a firewall check that the appropriate ports are open *.
IMPORTANT: The hotfixes for SQL 2005 and .Net Framework you may find it in TFS installation media. You probably may have problems finding the .Net Framework hotfix over the Internet.
* For a complete reference and all the components needed to SQL 2005 installation and the ports needed to TFS take a look to the TFS Installation guide at: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=E54BF6FF-026B-43A4-ADE4-A690388F310E&displaylang=en
** Download Sharepoint Services 2.0 SP2 at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=55087. Do not install the service at "Add or Remove Role" wizard from Windows Server 2003.
What about 64bits Processors? I have to get an operating system in 32bits to install TFS?
If you are planning in a Team Foundation Server as a Single-Server mode: Yes, that's your only choice. But there is also the option of implementing Dual-Server Mode. You can apply this by leaving your Application tier in 32bits and the Data tier (SQL 2005) in 64bits, that's the only way. The Application tier must always be in a 32bits environment.
Hardware Requirements
Component Recommended
Processor 2.2 GHz Pentium IV or Athlon
Hard Disk 8 GB of available space
A third consideration is needed before installing Team Foundation Server in your company. That is if you are working in a domain or workgroup environment:
- Domain Integration: The domain functional level must be either in Windows 2000 native mode or Windows 2003. In addition TFS cannot be installed in a domain controller.
- Workgroup Integration: Team Foundation Server can only work with workgroups on supported 32-bit operating systems.
Step-by-Step Installation
If you already checked all the requirements, hands on installation then:
1 – Log on as Administrator in the computer that you'll install TFS.
2 – Create User accounts for TFS installation:
TFSSERVICE. Deselect "Must change password at next logon" and select "Password Never Expires". Don't leave the password in blank.
TFSREPORTS. Deselect "Must change password at next logon" and select "Password Never Expires". Don't leave the password in blank.
These exact names are not a requirement for installation; you can use the names that you want. A third account is needed, not for installation but when your clients' computers use the Server: TFSPROXY. And in this one you cannot change his name.
Note: In almost all installation guides you will find that is also needed a fourth account: TFSSETUP, from which you will run the installation. If you are installing, in fact, the Workgroup Edition of TFS it's not recommended to use this account for installation. The installation procedure also creates a users group named "Team Foundation Licensed Users" (for your developers), as a Workgroup Edition you can only add 5 users to this group (no sub groups permitted of course), and if you use TFSSETUP for installation, this account automatically is added to the licensed users group, loosing the possibility to add a developer. That's why you should run setup with the Administrators account or any other with privileges to install in the server.
3 – Insert the installation media of TFS, start the Autorun and click Next.
4 – Accept the License agreement and the destination folder to TFS.
5 – Watch for the warnings in the System Health Check. And click Next.
6 – On the Service Logon Account Name insert the account you created as TFSSERVICE and its password. On the Reporting Logon Account insert TFSREPORTS and its password.
7 – Specify Alert Settings, this is optional, you can include the SMTP Server and e-mail address where the alerts notifications will be sent.
8 – On the Ready to Install Page click Install.
9 – After installation as an optional step also is the backup up of the Reporting Services Encryption Key.
After the installation is complete, to check everything went OK: in Internet Explorer locate: http://localhost:8080/services/v1.0/registration.asmx and the click GetRegistrationEntries, click Invoke (you don't have to enter a ToolID) and in the XML verify that the type VSTF exists and the close.
It's highly recommended that your operating system is up to date with "Windows Update". After the installation of IIS, SQL 2005, .Net Framework, Sharepoint Services you will find several critical updates to install in you OS.
Cheers everyone!!

The Mount Gay Estate is one of the oldest estates in the Caribbean, and definitely the oldest on Barbados. Many believe rum has been produced on the estate as early as 1663, which is the year William Sandiford bought the estate.
The estate included a still that was capable of producing rum, but the only legal and the oldest written evidence of rum production in the estate is from 1703, making Mount Gay the oldest rum producer in the world.
The estate lies in the northernmost parish of Barbados, St. Lucy and was originally called Mount Gilboa but renamed to Mount Gay in 1801 to honour Sir John Gay Alleyne, who had been appointed manager of the distillery in 1747 when the owner John Sober purchased the 280 acre plantation from William Sandiford.

Tax settlement with Aux Sable is finally near
Value of natural gas extraction facility in dispute since 2003
MINOOKA — The Minooka Community High School Board Tuesday night gave its approval to a tax agreement with Aux Sable Liquid Products.
Not all details of the agreement are being released at this time because other taxing bodies have to approve the agreement as well, MCHS Superintendent Jim Colyott said.
Ten different taxing bodies receive property tax revenue from Aux Sable Liquid Products. Besides Minooka High, they include Minooka Elementary School District 201, Joliet Junior College, Three Rivers Library District, village of Channahon, Channahon Police Department, Grundy County, Minooka Fire Protection District, Aux Sable Township and Aux Sable Highway Department.

A satellite reporting tagging device known as a SPOT tag, attached to a shortfin mako shark dubbed 'Carol' in New Zealand five months ago, is providing scientists with remarkable and previously unknown details of the timing and long-distance migratory movements of this species.
The Guy Harvey Research Institute (GHRI) at Nova Southeastern University is collaborating with the New Zealand National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (NIWA) on the tagging experiment with Carol the shortfin mako shark.
The SPOT tag is revealing that Carol is spending a lot of time at the ocean's surface, reporting her location to the satellite several times daily.
'The unexpectedly frequent daily detections are providing us with a really high resolution view of the migration of this animal,' said GHRI Director Dr. Mahmood Shivji. 'We've found that Carol has traveled over 5,700 miles in five months, averaging 60 miles per day during some parts of her migration--and this is just a juvenile shark!'

'Conventional identification tags tell us little about the timing of mako shark movements, the route that they take or distance traveled,' said Dr. Malcolm Francis, who is leading the NIWA effort on this study. 'The SPOT tag, revealing Carol's detailed travels from New Zealand to Fiji and back, shows theses sharks have an amazing internal navigation system that keeps them on course over long journeys.'
Given the high fishing pressure on makos for their fins and meat, this species is showing declining population trends in parts of its range, which has resulted in the species being listed as 'Vulnerable' on the IUCN Red List of threatened species.
Based on the amazing results from this initial trial, the GHRI and NIWA are expanding their mako migration study off New Zealand starting in January 2013, according to Dr. Shivji. The GHRI and Dr. Guy Harvey are also working with Captain Anthony Mendillo of Keen M International to compare the migratory patterns of mako sharks in the Atlantic by tagging them off the coast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
