Introducing Southeastern Wisconsin's Theoretical Subway System
Do all theoretical subway lines lead to Milwaukee? On this map they do. But what do you think?
So these kids up at UW-Madison, (well, OK so they aren't really kids) came up with a handy dandy map of what a Milwaukee subway system might look like, according to a blog on JS Online.
The map represents an interesting connectedness between southeastern Wisconsin communities, sort of remniscent of the KRM concept, but broader. And because there are college students involved, you know there's beer. Here's how this map idea got legs.

Forrest and his business partner, Kate Chanba, met in a web map design class their senior year at UW and had recently opened Carticulate, a cartography business in New York that melds mapmaking with graphic design.
Now the subway is but a pipe dream, almost literally because this plan would be in direct conflict with the muck flowing through Milwaukee's deep tunnel system.
But we wondered what you thought of this hypothetical connected community?

This is just great, it makes our theoretical freeway system look so much better.
10:36 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
It does make more sense that Barrett's trolley or the "High Speed" rail to Madison...
11:30 am on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I suppose they could put the subway in the deep tunnel system and use it on only sunny days.

I'm going to have to disagree with you on that, CD. I think it ranks right up there with both the Talgo test track and Zoo Train East. I wouldn't bet against there being someone, somewhere right now working on justifying it based on the number of jobs created to build the thing.

Why would you want to make it any easier than it already is for the less desirable among us to infiltrate our wonderfully safe Village? Keep those people in their box.

I believe that Talgo has moved their 'test track' to the western terminus of the proposed Milwaukee Area Subway System(MASS). They seem to be 'testing' their subway trains above ground at this time.
I've attached some secret spy photos of the subway train 'testing'.(see above)

I thought the official name of the program for affording movement from where the jobs aren't to where the jobs supposedly are was going to be the Mass Transit Urban Abatement program. I'll let someone else work out the acronym.

What a timely article. The Journal-Times on Monday had an article on the front page about the last North Shore train leaving the Racine station 50 years ago. Wouldn't it be nice if we could turn back the clock and tell the owners of the defunct line NOT to shut it down as it will be needed in 50 years??

There's a reason trains and their related modes of transportation cease to exist.....they're obsolete!
Idiots like Tom Barrett keep trying to convince us that 19th technology will attract and grow business in dumps like his city.
Plus, why would you want a subway system running through Milwaukee when MMSD can't even control their tunnels? HAHA Maybe that's the master plan. Get some federal funds for transit only to turn it into a solution for their sewers.
11:06 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
If trains are so obsolete why is the rest of the world rushing to build them, and putting them in all future plans while using less roads and highways.
Because with the population the world is looking at and the climate crises, we need to look away from gas cars to high speed mass transit, to clean energy production and electric cars like the tesla.
8:05 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Climate crisis?
I think you been riding the wrong kind of train..

This would be a huge benefit. If you have used the Montreal subway system you can see appreciate how appropriate a similar construction would work for our community. For those who haven't, Montreal's subway system includes shops, restaurants, etc., including lower level entrances to theatres, stores, hotels, etc. It's designed to cut down the amount of time commuters have to spend outdoors in their similarly frigid winters. It's quite something. In other countries the subway (tube, metro, etc.) have digital signs on the platform letting commuters know the approximate wait time for the next train. During rush hour the wait is generally 10-12 minutes at most. It's frustrating to come home to Milwaukee from an overseas trip and feel that one has taken a long step backward.

Agreed. Too bad it is likely a pipe dream (especially in view of the demise of KRM). Furthermore, I find that most critics of any rail-based public transportation have never utilized such services and thus have not personally experienced any benefits that such services offer. Sad.
1:06 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Brian, through the lenses of time and environmental stewardship, automobile travel is indeed primitive. A car should be for weekend travel if it is needed at all. I'd infinitely prefer the subway to driving during the work week. The bus is an impractical option as the schedules and travel times would waste nearly 3 hours/day. That's because of backward-thinking. Instead of making the bus a more attractive option with less wait time and more regional stops, the number of buses and regional stops are cut.
As far as buses/trolleys, Milwaukee was a national model in mass transit. My father tells me that in the early and mid-part of the century that people commuted to Chicago to work. If one could get on a trolley one could connect to a train. The later "trackless" trolleys were also electric but were actually able to stop in at the curb. Noiseless, no air pollution. Why did they go away? Because people were in love with cars and common sense went out the window. It's depressing to think about all of the trolley tracks and cable that were torn up, and how much dirtier the air is as a result.
patchreader, that has been my experience as well. Folks who've either never set foot or heard a few mugging stories. Ah, parochialism.

FYI, I uploaded images of Chicago's subway (i.e., CTA) and passenger locomotive (i.e., METRA) rail maps. They are difficult to view in their reduced size, however you can readily pull either up on the Internet.
You will note the northeastern-most line of the Metra map ends in Kenosha and was to be continued to Milwaukee as part of the now dead KRM proposal. The southeastern-most line goes to Indiana.
The CTA lines connect two airports (i.e., OHare and Midway), three stadiums (i.e. United Center - Bulls and Blackhawks; Wrigley Field - Cubs; and the former Comiskey Park- White Sox) and countless neighborhoods and suburbs to downtown Chicago.
All one has to do is visit a crowed Metra or CTA station during rush hour and witness how each transportation system is fully utilized to move people between the suburbs and downtown (i.e., home and work) as part of a daily commute. Truly amazing, yet unrealized by many.
Brian Dey

Through the lenses of practicality, our automobile travel is far more ahead of Europe. There are reasons why Europe relies on commuter train service that simply just don't exist here. Those same reasons are why high speed commuter and subway lines work in some areas of the U.S. but would be highly impractical in others.
If you have ever been to New York City, you know why subways work and are used in high volumes. There simply isn't enough space for infrastucture to serve a fluid system of car transportation to serve 11 million people. For that matter, there is not enough parking. Same in Chicago, although the infrastucture in Chicago has been much improved over time. But again, parking is at a premium.
In Milwaukee, Racine, Kenosha and Madison, the populations are much smaller and the designs of the cities are spread out over a greater area that parking and infrastructure can easily support the car transportation system. With improvements that are ongoing, i.e. the Hale and Zoo interchanges, as well as those completed, i.e. the Mitchell and Marquette interchanges, car travel was far cheaper to upgrade and now is much more efficient.
As far as pollution, there has been much improvement over the years to lessen the carbon footprint of cars. Coincidentally, the 50th anniversary of the last commuter train was this past week. It became too expensive, andnothing has changed today.
8:29 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Another difference between places like NYC and the rest of the US is that many of the people in this area don't commute to jobs that are located downtown or in a 'city center'. Commutes from suburb to suburb seem to be much more common than a commute into downtown or from downtown out.
The Freeway Fliers aren't running anywhere near full. When they start filling to capacity, then we can start thinking about running a train. If we cannot fill buses, there is no way we will come close to selling enough train tickets to cover the cost.
8:35 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
According to the map above, the subway system would be useless to me for getting to and from my job. The only route near my home is a North-South route that will take me either downtown or to Silver Spring drive. No route goes anywhere near my office.
8:12 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
I hope this happens one day so we can all cram in like Japanese sardines or get stabbed or mugged like in every other American subway.
Jay Sykes
9:15 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Does everyone know that subway costs run about $400 million dollars per mile?
The federal government wanted to 'gift' us for the improvements for the MKE-MAD freight rail-line, allowing/requiring an Amtrak service extension.
That same $810 million 'gift' would get us a single subway line, from the Betty Brin to Marquette, running under Wisconsin Avenue.
Maybe we could get the same $810 million dollar 'gift' to improve the CHI-MKE Amtrak to EU high speed rail standards. We could build out high-speed-rail for about 11 miles of the 90 miles between MKE and CHI.
1:09 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Jay, these investments pay for themselves over time through ticket prices. We need all three of the projects you describe: a train to Madison, a subway system or improved above-ground system, and an upgrade of the Chicago/Milwaukee Amtrak.
Bob McBride
6:44 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
We do not need HSR to Madison or a subway. Creating new fixed route transportation in an area that absolutely does not need it is about as stupid an expenditure as one could make. The costs are astronomical and there is absolutely no way they'd ever be paid back or be self-supporting.
I've been on rail systems in other cities and the subways in NYC. They're only practical because of surface congestion and no one who could would chose them over the comfort and convenience of being in a car. We don't have surface congestion here.
By car it takes a little less than an hour and half to get from Milwaukee to Madison. By the time you get to and from the departure and destination points for HSR your trip time would be approximately the same. HSR has been rejected, repeatedly, as it should be.
We could build long range roller coasters along the same routes mentioned in the subway study. They would cost a lot less, be something nobody else has, wouldn't be any less practical and would probably get more usage than a subway would. I think we should do that. Because it would be cool. And money's no object. It would pay for itself with tickets over time - because I said so.
Brian Dey
6:47 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
That isn't true. Study after study showed that the commuter lines could not sustain themselves and would need millions of dollars just to operate, not to mention repairs and upgrades. That is what killed the project. Subsequently, Amtrak already does run somewhat of a commuter service, has many passengers, and still requires government subsidy.
There just isn't a need here. We are neither big enough, nor are our highways congestive enough to support such an idea. Look at the cost of the trolley in Milwaukee that will travel 2 miles, and you will see that such an idea is not practical.
And as long as someone can get from point A to point B in a car, and have parking. The vast majority will continue to use that mode of transportation. It's all about independence.
7:06 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
There just isn't enough people that would use any of the suggestions. It would really cost the taxpayers in the end. Not a good idea at all.
Jay Sykes

What we now know as the Milwaukee County Transit System(MCTS) was owned by a private company until 1975, when Milwaukee County bought the near bankrupt operation.
I am not aware of a single year, in the last 37 years, in which ticket prices/fare-box revenue was sufficient to cover their operating costs,let alone the capital expenditures.
I have not seen any reportage on the viability of the new "express service" (Red,Green,Blue) that travels some of the high density areas and stops half as much as "regular" service. If 'express service' does not attract sufficient ridership to cover operating costs a subway never will.
Does anyone know if any of the 'Freeway Flyer' routes have ticket/fare-box revenue that covers operating costs?

When my car fails I'd have to walk three miles to a bus stop. I don't think OC has any public bus service any more and we need something. Why can't we have an elevated system like Chicago? Perhaps above the existing freeway system with extensions into municipalities or perhaps over the lake like the Cuppertino/Meyer plan?
6:53 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
"these investments pay for themselves over time through ticket prices" Yep, just like Amtrak, our municipal bus systems, and throw in the Postal Service for good measure. All of the above would die on the vine like rotten tomato if they were dependent on ticket prices to sustain themselves without massive subsidies.

Can we add another spur to the Theoretical Subway, given the trainloads of mass humanity enjoying the park?
11:59 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Some places have done that. Kansas city has The Power & Light District. After visiting that city, returning to Milwaukee seems like a bad dream. And when you would think about KC you think rail roads and cow pies. In Milwaukee it's not a question of how you get there, it's a question of why would you go.
9:30 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I'm a bit puzzled. Yes, an area-wide subway system was an interesting intellectual exercise, but I fail to see the practicality of burying it underground. Was this just a ruse to illustrate how stupid mass transit supposedly is?
Frankly, I don't think mass transit is stupid. Right now, travel by private automobile is the most efficient and comfortable, but as parking in the metro area becomes more of a hassle and gasoline prices continue to rise, that will change. When it comes, it will have to be better designed than what we have now, though.
9:35 am on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
Personally, I'd rather wait underground for the next train than have to wait outside in 'Wisconsin January' weather.

We're first going to need to undergo a re-urbanization before we can truly solve the transportation issue. Fortunately this is already beginning in some parts of the country. As energy costs continue to rise, moving individual people around in 3,000+ pound cars will become unaffordable. It's possible that technology can increase car fuel efficiency to keep up with fuel costs, but it's more likely that people will choose to move closer to work, and businesses will choose to locate closer to city centers. Spread-out suburban areas make mass transit challenging, but as people reverse the post-WWII suburban migration and re-converge on the cities, that calculus will change.
8:55 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
What exactly is the 'transportation issue' that needs to be 'truly solved'?
9:10 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
CD: The transportation issue he may be referring to is: Those who drive electric vehicles are paying no road tax. So. Like Washington State, we need a mileage tax to compensate for the loss of revenue.
Jay Sykes
10:51 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
@Craig... A mileage tax sounds like lots of work(read:government bean counters). I think we can simply adjust the yearly registration/plate fees for higher gas miles per gallon / non-gas vehicles.
Lets just have the registration/plate fee charge be inverse of the gas mileage. If the average car on the road travels 12,000 miles and gets 20 mpg, they consume 600 gallons of gas and pay $185.40, @ 30.9 cents/gallon, in Wisconsin fuel tax. They also pay a $75 yearly registration fee.
Drive an electric car and you pay the current base registration $75 + $185.40 = $260.40;Chevy volt or Toyota Prius might pay $75 + $100 = $175; Austin Mini, VW Rabbit, Fiat 500 might pay $75 + 50 = $125.
Keeping track of individual miles driven sounds like an expensive undertaking; it might cost more to manage than it would generate in net revenue, above a simple adjustment calculation for miles per gallon.
10:57 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
Jay: I was being facetious, I do not believe we need to tax people who are frugal. I think this will take hold in CA, WA, and OR, where growing government seems to be the norm.
11:24 am on Thursday, January 24, 2013
If people don't drive much, but own a low MPG vehicle, why should they be subject to the same tax as a person that owns the same vehicle, but drives many more miles?
Wouldn't it be easiest to just tax gasoline and/or diesel fuel to accomplish your tax goal? If people drive less or have high MPG cars, they buy less gas (and pay less in taxes). No bean counters required...
Jay Sykes
4:53 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
@CD... I'm not sure one can work out an ideal solution on the tax schedule for roads. A per/gallon tax on gasoline is not now, nor was it ever, a perfect proxy for sharing the actual cost of roads. Roads/bridges have the initial capital cost[fixed] and roads/ bridges need continuing services(snow-plowing, crack repairs, bridge painting)[variable], even if they see near zero usage.
Without going to the additional expense of reading everyone odometer or installing a government GPS,we need to assess those that have non-gasoline/ diesel or high mpg vehicles for their share of the roads. A modest increase in the 'fixed' component (registration fee), inversely proportionate to mpg, appears to be the most efficient and even handed.
5:06 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
See, I don't see it that way since there is such a wide variety in the number of miles people drive. I drive a couple thousand miles per year, but the average is around 15,000 miles per year. Why should I pay the same amount at registration as the average driver with the same model of car as I? I am using the roads far less than the average person. While gas tax might not be perfect, it at least seems to better address the issue of those that use the roads most, pay the most.
Jay Sykes
5:30 pm on Thursday, January 24, 2013
@CD... I re-read the string and I think I was not clear... The increase in the registration, inverse to the gas mileage, is in addition to the current per/gallon tax.
So, with my example the all electric car(now paying zero) would be paying in lieu of the per/gallon rate as a registration fee increase. The high mpg cars would be 'making up' for their shortfall in per/gallon contribution with a slightly higher registration fee. No change in the registration fee for the low mpg vehicle, as they pay their share at the pump.

Would you mass transit utopia Moonies sqauwk if a mass transit rail system or subway was built between Antigo and Greenbay? Or how about between the Wisconsin Rapids and Stevens Point? Of course you would because you'd wind up paying for it one way or another yet probably never use them. You'd whine about needing it more then they would. In fact your whining about this idea right now.
The problem with your Moonie nightmares is you want everyone to pay for what you use.
Cars are a great idea because everything about them generates taxes through out their useable life. They pay their way just like the person who earns a living pays their way.
If you don't like fossil fuel emmisions then walk or take a bicycle or get a horse. At least with the horse you can burn your horse sh*t in your huts fireplace or your non metal mined bot bellied stove for heat. I assume you don't use natural gas or electricity or wood for your heat either.

As a part of Google's ongoing commitment to foster innovation among its users, the company is now planning to introduce an innovative way to search for information, read text messages, watch online video and post photos on social networks without having to fumble around with a hand-held device.
The breakthrough is a wearable computer, reports informed.
It is reportedly said that the search giant was secretly working on a pair of Internet-connected glasses on from past two years. Now, Google's futuristic experiment is moving closer to reality and becoming a mass-market product very soon.
The eyewear features built-in camera, microphone and speaker technology and can efficiently synchronize to the Internet using wireless connections.
Intending to suggest improvements and build applications that will make the glasses even more useful, Google is selling a prototype of the glasses to US computer programmers for $1,500.
According to Sergey Brin, Google's co-founder, if all goes well, a less expensive version of the glasses is expected to go on sale for consumers in early 2014.
Brin further added, Google still needs to fix a variety of bugs in the glasses and figure out how to make the battery last longer so users can wear them for longer hours.
Market watchers added, Google may face criticism for its latest product as the latest innovation shortens attention spans and makes it more difficult for people to fully appreciate what's happening around them.
Well! It is difficult to say anything before its actual launch. So, stay connected to get more information on this.

Speech of Austrian Foreign Minister Michael Spindelegger at the 65th Regular Session of the UN-General Assembly
Michael Spindelegger
Federal Minister for European and International Affairs
of the
Republic of Austria
at the 65th Session of the General Assembly
of the United Nations
New York, 25 September 2010
Mr. President,
Heads of states,
Heads of governments,
Foreign Ministers,
Distinguished delegates to the 65th General Assembly of the United Nations!
Introduction / Global Governance and Multilateralism / Rule of Law
The tragic earthquake in Haiti, the devastating floods in Pakistan and the financial crisis reminded us that the global challenges of the 21st century require concerted action. The United Nations needs to be at the center of our activities. It is the forum in today's multilateral system that enjoys the highest degree of legitimacy. Inclusiveness is its key comparative advantage. However, this moral authority must be matched by mechanisms and resources to ensure its effectiveness.
Adherence to the rule of law is fundamental. All multilateral efforts and activities need to operate on the basis of clear and predictable rules which equally apply to all Member States. Member States, but also men and women around the globe, must be able to trust in the United Nations capacity to turn the promises of the Charter into reality.
Cooperation with other international actors is indispensable for the UN's efforts to deal with the complex challenges of today. Austria and the European Union stand ready as reliable partners for the United Nations, in areas ranging from development cooperation and humanitarian aid to the maintenance of international peace and security and to promoting the respect for the rule of law and human rights. In this context, we do hope that our initiative to obtain modalities for the EU's participation in the General Assembly reflecting the changes provided for in the Lisbon Treaty will soon be adopted. This would greatly help to reinforce the productive partnership of the UN with an organisation that is fully committed to the principles and objectives enshrined in the Charter.
Austria is proud to contribute to the work of the United Nations through hosting the UN headquarters in Vienna. We will continue to offer Vienna as a platform for dialogue and cooperation.
In our view, good governance is an inherent element of global governance. The Vienna-based UN Office on Drugs and Crime is central in the UN's efforts to combat corruption and organized crime by supporting Member States in implementing international standards, including the UN Convention against Corruption. Corruption presents one of the major challenges with dire consequences for the international community's efforts to reduce poverty. The recent foundation of the International Anti-Corruption Academy in Austria is an important step to address this challenge. This institution aims to provide a tool for research, education and training for professionals from all fields, including law enforcement officials, judges and prosecutors.
The fight against climate change is one of the central issues of the 21st century. Climate change has a far-reaching impact on the economic and social development of the entire international community. We need global consensus now if we want to achieve the goal to limit global warming to 2°C and to reverse the trend of rising greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. Nobody should underestimate the difficulty of this task. However, the fight against climate change is also an opportunity. We have the chance to create a framework for sustainable, qualitative growth at global level. Austria is committed to contribute to this endeavour.
This week, leaders agreed upon concrete actions to get the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) back on track in the fight against world poverty. We now need to mobilize all our efforts to live up to this renewed commitment, particularly in addressing the special needs of Africa in this regard. Governments of developing and developed countries, as well as the private sector and civil society need to work together to achieve our ambitious goals by 2015.
Mr. President!
Let me now turn to one of the most urging threats to peace and security. During these days our attention is focused on the recently initiated direct talks between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Abbas. We welcome the leadership and commitment of President Obama, who made this development possible. These talks offer the first concrete prospects for a sustainable peace in the Middle East in many years. An agreement between Israel and Palestine would not only radically improve the lives of the peoples concerned, it would also provide the key to a more stable region and a more peaceful world. We hope that both sides are aware of their enormous responsibilities.
The process is still fragile. We believe that the extension of the settlement moratorium is fundamental for keeping the talks on track and creating an environment in which the core issues can be tackled successfully. It is equally important that the efforts of the Palestinian authorities to build up functioning institutions for a future Palestinian state will move forward dynamically.
It is ultimately up to the parties to bring the peace process to a positive conclusion. However international actors, in particular the members of the Quartet have an important role to play. As a member of the European Union, Austria is ready to fully play its part.
In order to ensure that the UN continues to play a central role in global governance, we must continue with our efforts towards internal reform of the UN, including a reform of the Security Council. Both, an enlargement of the Security Council that reflects today's political, economic and social realities and a reform of the Council's working methods will enhance the Council's legitimacy and the acceptance of its decisions.
As an elected member of the Security Council we participate in its work with great commitment and are doing our best to promote effectiveness and transparency.
Significant efforts are underway to ensure and sustain UN peacekeeping as an essential tool for achieving the goals of the United Nations. Confronted with limited financial and human resources and the increasing complexity of peacekeeping operations, the UN has started a review of the whole UN peacekeeping system with a view to adjusting it to the needs of the 21st century. It is of vital importance for the Council to effectively monitor and oversee the implementation of peacekeeping mandates in close cooperation with troop- and police-contributors, the Secretariat and UN missions. Austria fully supports the ongoing peacekeeping reform and stands ready to play its part in a renewed global peacekeeping partnership.
We also have to work on making peace consolidation irreversible. The United Nations Peacebuilding Commission together with Integrated Peacebuilding Support Offices have a key role in fostering sustainable peace. By optimally using the peacebuilding architecture lasting peace can be achieved with determination and political will of the country concerned as well as the support of the international community. Since peacekeeping and peacebuilding must be approached in an integrated manner, we strongly support an enhanced interaction of the Security Council with the Peacebuilding Commission throughout the conflict cycle, as was affirmed also by the Security Council Summit this week.
Due to the changing nature of conflict and an increase in the activities of non-state actors, the protection of civilians in armed conflict constitutes a core task of a large number of UN peacekeeping missions. The effective protection of those affected by hostilities and violence has become a yardstick for the success and credibility of UN missions in the field and the UN at large. Security Council resolution 1894, unanimously adopted in November last year, was a major step forward in the Council's efforts to better protect civilians from physical violence, displacement and violations of their rights.
However, resolution 1894 has not yet had its full impact on the ground. Violations of international humanitarian and human rights law and impunity for such crimes continue to pose a major threat to the rule of law and lasting peace in post-conflict situations. Austria acknowledges the primary responsibility of States to ensure the protection of civilians, including credible prosecution of those responsible for war crimes, genocide, crimes against humanity or other serious violations of international law. We support the use and promotion of mechanisms such as the International Criminal Court, commissions of inquiries or panels of experts. These tools should be seen as a viable complement and reinforcement of steps taken at the national level to ensure accountability. The Security Council has a central role in this endeavour. Ensuring the implementation of Resolution 1894 will be one of the key priorities of Austria during the remainder of its term on the Council.
Equally, Austria attaches utmost importance to enhancing the role of women in conflict and post-conflict situations. Even 10 years after the adoption of Resolution 1325 on women, peace, and security, we can still witness major gaps: Women continue to be largely absent in peace processes and conflict resolution efforts, and crimes against them all too often remain unpunished. The latest shocking mass rapes in Eastern Congo demonstrate more than ever that there is urgent need for action. We cannot afford to ignore these gaps. The occasion of the 10th anniversary of resolution 1325, will, therefore, provide a crucial opportunity to work towards a more consistent implementation in promoting women's issues in all aspects of international peace efforts. These efforts are fully supported by our development cooperation.
Austria warmly welcomes the milestone decision of the General Assembly to establish "UN Women", which will make the UN a stronger and more effective partner in the advancement of women worldwide. We are looking forward to working with Michele Bachelet towards our common goals.
Children in armed conflict deserve special protection. I am very satisfied that the UN system made concrete progress in combating serious child rights violations and in fighting the recruitment and enlisting of child soldiers.
Austria reiterates the pivotal role of the United Nations at the centre of our counter-terrorism efforts. Respect for human rights and the rule of law is a fundamental basis of the fight against terrorism. As chair of the Al-Qaida/Taliban sanctions committee, Austria is committed to enhancing due process in the Council's sanctions regimes. We therefore welcome the substantial improvements of the listing and delisting procedures, and the recent appointment of Ms. Kimberly Prost as Ombudsperson.
The Austrian candidature for the Human Rights Council for the period 2011-2014 is a logical continuation of our long term work and engagement for the respect for human rights, including in the Security Council. Dialogue and partnerships are crucial for turning the promises of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights into a reality for all people around the globe. Austria has consistently worked with all actors towards narrowing the gap between standards and their implementation at a national and international level.
Finally Mr President, and to end on a positive note: This past year saw the first positive developments towards nuclear disarmament in a decade. Security Council Resolution 1887 adopted just a year ago provided a powerful impetus. Although many issues are still unresolved and require our close attention, the Review Conference in May produced an outcome that restored confidence in the NPT.
For the first time, a comprehensive Action Plan dealing with all three NPT-pillars was agreed; - and let me stress here that Austria is honored to have contributed to that success.
For the first time, a "world without nuclear weapons" was accepted as the goal of all parties, who pledged to ultimately eliminate all types of nuclear weapons.
For the first time, the catastrophic humanitarian consequences of the use of such weapons were recognized – an important step towards the eventual legal ban of nuclear weapons by means of a nuclear weapons convention or framework of legal instruments.
Although the results of the Conference are positive much remains to be done:
The Action Plan needs to be implemented. The Nuclear Weapon States – who promised to engage among themselves on a number of vital issues and report by 2014 - must lead by example.
The international disarmament structures must be reformed. I am grateful for Secretary General Ban`s initiative in this respect.
Finally we must learn from successful disarmament initiatives. Let me underline that Austria is delighted that the Convention on Cluster Munitions entered into force last month. This Convention is a positive example how committed Governments, International Organizations and civil society can work together to achieve real progress.
In order to promote interaction in this respect also in the nuclear field, Austria supports the establishment of a Competence Center for Nuclear Disarmament and Non-Proliferation in Vienna early next year. Conceived as a platform for open discussion and independent expertise, monitoring and advocacy, this Center shall facilitate understanding and cooperation among all entities involved. I hope it will contribute to further progress in nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation.
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen!
We, the United Nations, have shared responsibility to move forward jointly in order to reach our common goal of international peace, security and development for all.

There was a woman at work when she received a phone call that her daughter was very sick with a fever. She left work and stopped by the pharmacy to get some medication for her daughter.
She returned to her car to find that she had locked the keys inside the car when she went into the pharmacy and was now unable to get into her car to drive home.
She didn't know what to do and started to panic, so she called home and told the baby sitter what had happened and that she did not know what to do. The baby sitter told her to find a coat hanger and see if that would open the door.
The woman looked around and found an old rusty coat hanger that had been thrown down on the ground, possibly by someone else who also had locked their keys in their car. Then she looked at the hanger and said, "I don't know how to use this." So she bowed her head and asked God to send her some help.
In so doing, she obeyed the command to never stop praying. Do you think God would reward her for that?
Within five minutes a motorcycle roared up and pulled into the parking space next to her car. A rough, dirty-looking biker got off and saw her situation. He asked if he could help her. The woman thought, "This is what you sent to help me, God?"
She finally told him yes, as she needed to hurry and get home to her sick daughter. He walked over to the car, and in less than one minute the car was opened. She hugged the man and through her tears she said, "Thank you so much! You are such a nice man."
The man replied; "No, I'm not, Lady. I just got out of prison for car theft." The woman hugged the man again and with sobbing tears cried out to God, "You even sent me a professional."
Intercessory prayer might be defined as loving our neighbor on our knees.

Ruby Hamilton, a businesswoman in her fifties, was stunned at the loss of her husband of 32 years in a car accident. Her anger and disappointment went deeper than a more typical expression of grief though. She had become a follower of Christ in her late twenties, but her husband didn't share her newfound interest in spiritual things. Nonetheless, she had set about praying for him feverishly and unceasingly that he would come to know the Lord. And one day when she was praying, she felt a wave of peace wash over her, and that still small voice assuring her that her husband would be okay. She eagerly awaited the day when her husband surrender his life to Jesus. And now this.
What do you do when faith doesn't make sense? When God doesn't seem to be answering or opening doors or being found? Ruby Hamilton stopped living for God.
Roger Simmons was hitchhiking his way home. He would never forget the date - May 7th. His heavy suitcase was making him tired and he was anxious to take off that army uniform once and for all. Flashing the thumb to the oncoming car, he lost hope when he saw it was a black, sleek new Cadillac. To his surprise the car stopped.
The passenger door swung open. He ran toward the car, tossed his suitcase in the back and thanked the handsome, well-dressed man as he slid into the front seat. "Going home for keeps?"
"Sure am."
"Well, you're in luck if you're going to Chicago."
"Not quite that far - do you live in Chicago?"
"I have a business there, the driver said. My name is Hamilton."
They chatted for a while, and then Roger, a Christian, felt a compulsion to share his faith with this fiftyish, apparently successful business man. But he kept putting it off, till he realized that he was now just 30 minutes from his home. It was now or never.
"Mr. Hamilton, I would like to talk to you about something very important." Then he simply told Mr. Hamilton about the plan of salvation and ultimately asked him if he would like to receive Jesus as his savior and Lord.
The Cadillac pulled over to the side of the road. Roger expected that he was about to get thrown out of the car. Instead, the businessman bowed his head and received Christ, then thanked Roger "This is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me."
Five years went by. Roger married, had a couple of kids and a business of his own. Packing his suitcase for a trip to Chicago he found a small white business card that had been given to him by Hamilton five years previous. In Chicago, he looked up Hamilton enterprises. The receptionist told him that it was impossible to see Mr. Hamilton, but he could see Mrs. Hamilton. A little confused, he was ushered into a beautiful office where he found himself facing a keen-eyed woman in her fifties.
She extended her hand "You knew my husband?"
Roger told her about how Hamilton had picked him up while he was hitchhiking home after the war. "Can you tell me what day that was?"
"Sure it was May 7th, five years ago, the day I was discharged from the army."
"Anything special about that day," she asked.
He hesitated, not knowing if he should mention how he shared the message of Jesus with her husband. "Mrs. Hamilton, I explained the gospel to your husband that day. He pulled over to the side of the road and wept against the steering wheel. He gave his life to Christ that day."
Explosive sobs shook her body. Finally getting a grip on herself, she sobbed, "I had prayed for my husband's salvation for years. I believed God would save him."
"Where is your husband, Ruby?"
"He's dead. He was in a car crash after he let you out of the car. He never got home. You see, I thought God had not kept his promise. I stopped living for God five years ago because I thought God had not kept his word!"
(Considerable influence for this message came from John Piper's "The Spring of Persistent Public Love", DesiringGod.org. From a sermon by Bret Toman, Power to Live the Golden Rule, 1/3/2011)
One night I had worked hard to help a mother in the labor ward; but in spite of all we could do she died, leaving us with a tiny premature baby and a crying two-year-old daughter. We would have difficulty keeping the baby alive, as we had no incubator (we had no electricity to run an incubator) and no special feeding facilities.
Although we lived on the equator, nights were often chilly with treacherous drafts. One student midwife went for the box we had for such babies and the cotton wool the baby would be wrapped in. Another went to stoke up the fire and fill a hot water bottle. She came back shortly in distress to tell me that in filling the bottle, it had burst. Rubber perishes easily in tropical climates. "And it is our last hot water bottle!" she exclaimed.
As in the West it is no good crying over spilled milk, so in Central Africa it might be considered no good crying over burst water bottles. They do not grow on trees, and there are no drugstores down forest pathways.
"All right," I said, "Put the baby as near the fire as you safely can; sleep between the baby and the door to keep it free from drafts. Your job is to keep the baby warm."
The following noon, as I did most days, I went to have prayers with any of the orphanage children who chose to gather with me. I gave the youngsters various suggestions of things to pray about and told them about the tiny baby. I explained our problem about keeping the baby warm enough, mentioning the hot water bottle. The baby could so easily die if it got chills. I also told them of the two-year-old sister, crying because her mother had died.
During the prayer time, one ten-year-old girl, Ruth, prayed with the usual blunt conciseness of our African children. "Please, God," she prayed, "send us a water bottle. It'll be no good tomorrow, God, as the baby'll be dead, so please send it this afternoon."
While I gasped inwardly at the audacity of the prayer, she added by way of corollary, "And while You are about it, would You please send a dolly for the little girl so she'll know You really love her?"
As often with children's prayers, I was put on the spot. Could I honestly say, "Amen"? I just did not believe that God could do this. Oh, yes, I know that He can do everything. The Bible says so. But there are limits, aren't there? The only way God could answer this particular prayer would be by sending me a parcel from the homeland. I had been in Africa for almost four years at that time, and I had never, ever, received a parcel from home; anyway, if anyone did send me a parcel, who would put in a hot water bottle? I lived on the equator!
Halfway through the afternoon, while I was teaching in the nurses' training school, a message was sent that there was a car at my front door. By the time I reached home, the car had gone, but there, on the veranda, was a large twenty-two pound parcel. I felt tears pricking my eyes. I could not open the parcel alone, so I sent for the orphanage children. Together we pulled off the string, carefully undoing each knot. We folded the paper, taking care not to tear it unduly. Excitement was mounting. Some thirty or forty pairs of eyes were focused on the large cardboard box.
From the top, I lifted out brightly colored, knitted jerseys; eyes sparkled as I pulled them out. Then there were the knitted bandages for the leprosy patients, and the children looked a little bored. Then came a box of mixed raisins and sultanas --- that would make a nice batch of buns for the week...

Tim Hansel in his book "When I Relax I feel Guilty," writes some insights of what most people want from God.
"I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please. Not enough to explode my soul or disturb my sleep, but just enough to equal a cup of warm milk or a snooze in the sunshine. I don't want enough of Him to make me love a black man or pick beets with a migrant. I want ecstasy, not transformation; I want the warmth of the womb, not a new birth. I want a pound of the Eternal in a paper sack. I would like to buy $3.00 worth of God, please."
If we would be totally honest, the idea of transformation really scares us. That is because we know that such a radical change would be quite uncomfortable. We realize that with transformation comes a major overhaul of our lives and priorities.

A clergyman from New York, during a call on President Lincoln at the White House, said: "I have not come to ask any favors of you, Mr. President; I have only come to say that the loyal people of the North are sustaining you and will continue to do so. We are giving you all that we have, the lives of our sons as well as our confidence and our prayers. You must know that no boy's father or mother ever kneels in prayer these days without asking God to give you strength and wisdom."
His eyes brimming with tears, Mr. Lincoln replied: "But for those prayers, I should have faltered and perhaps failed long ago. Tell every father and mother you know to keep on praying, and I will keep on fighting, for I know God is on our side."
As the clergyman started to leave the room, Mr. Lincoln held him by the hands and said: "I suppose I may consider this as sort of a pastoral call?"
"Yes," replied the clergyman.
"Out in our country," replied Lincoln, "when a parson makes a pastoral call, it was always the custom for the folks to ask him to lead in prayer, and I should like to ask you to pray with me today. Pray that I may have the strength and the wisdom."
The two men knelt side by side, and the clergyman offered the most fervent plea to Almighty God that ever fell from his lips. As they arose, the President clasped his visitor's hand and remarked in a satisfied sort of way: "I feel better."

I heard a story of a ship that was sinking in the middle of a storm, and the captain called out to the crew and said, "Does anyone here know how to pray?"
One man stepped forward and said, "Yes sir, I know how to pray."
The captain said, "Wonderful, you pray while the rest of us put on life jackets--we're one short."

Three ministers were talking about prayer in general and the appropriate and effective positions for prayer. As they were talking, a telephone repairman was working on the phone system in the background.
One minister shared that he felt the key was in the hands. He always held his hands together and pointed them upward as a form of symbolic worship. The second suggested that real prayer was conducted on your knees. The third suggested that they both had it wrong--the only position worth its salt was to pray while stretched out flat on your face.
By this time the phone man couldn't stay ...
I heard a quote in college that struck me: "The caterpillar is the most confused creature which roams the planet, because undoubtedly stamped in his soul is the call to fly."
Caterpillars must go through four stages before their metamorphosis is complete. They begin as eggs, next they hatch as caterpillars, then they go through a stage where they eat, and eat, and eat some more. Eventually, they become a chrysalis before the transformation is complete and they can finally emerge as a beautiful butterfly.
The Bible tells us in Ecclesiastes 3: 1 "To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven." Often, we want to walk straight into the calling God has for us. We want to do and be everything God wants us to be and not only that, but we want to skip the journey that takes us there and do it NOW! We want to go from being caterpillar eggs to butterflies! However, we all know that there are risks to anything being born prematurely. In order for anything to be birthed, whether it is a vision or a calling, we who are to fulfill it must go on a journey. We must go through stages and seasons of preparation.
For weeks, our class would observe the caterpillars I had ordered. We would begin to notice that each day they would crawl to the top of the aquarium and stand upside down. It was as though they were saying "Is today the day? Is today the day my transformation will begin?" When they realized it wasn't, they would walk back down and eat the day away. Every morning upon returning to the classroom, we would always be amazed at how much the caterpillars had grown.
Sometimes our lives can reach a point where they seem routine and mundane. Like the caterpillars, we are walking up and down, up and down. We may feel bored with where we are, like God has forgotten us, or as though we are not accomplishing much with our lives. We go through the day wondering. Is this the day? If we find it's not, our response should be like the caterpillars. It's not the day, but God has promised it, so I'm going to prepare for it nonetheless! We should eat, and eat, and eat from the Word of God. We should spend daily time in prayer and worship. We should be building, preparing, and strengthening our spirit man to accomplish the things which God has stamped on our souls to do.
After about two weeks, we would usually come to class one morning to find that many of the caterpillars had formed a chrysalis. From the outside of the chrysalis, it always seemed to my students as though nothing were happening. After a while, they would lose interest in the chrysalis. It wasn't fun to watch, and it wasn't spectacular to look at.
I'm convinced that like the caterpillar, God wants to take us on a journey. I'm convinced there is a process. Job said "For He knows the way that I take, and when He has tested me, I shall come forth as gold." Sometimes there is pain in the process. Sometimes the journey is difficult, but God knows and sees exactly where you are. When others look and see an ugly cocoon, He looks inside and sees the beautiful creature that is being transformed. Before David became king of Israel, he was first a shepherd boy. Some of his brothers were more handsome than him and greater in stature, but God did not choose them. In the Bible God spoke in 1 Samuel 16: 7 concerning David "for the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." God chose the young, ruddy shepherd boy who had a heart after Him. All those years David spent alone in the field, God was preparing him. Don't despise the cocoon. God may simply be waiting for your character to catch up with your calling.
It is in the difficult process of breaking out of the chrysalis that the butterfly becomes strong. However, if the caterpillar breaks its way out of the cocoon prematurely, he will never survive. His wings will not be developed enough to allow him to properly fly. God does not want us to simply arrive at our calling, He desires for us to be successful in it. You may be a caterpillar with the word 'butterfly' stamped on your forehead wondering "When is it going to happen?" Consider this thought.is it possible that you have yet to visit the cocoon? If you're having trouble waiting for the moment that you break out into your calling, just remember. "He has made everything beautiful in HIS time." (Ecclesiastes 3: 11)

When Einstein fled Nazi Germany, he came to America and bought an old two-story house within walking distance of Princeton University. There he entertained some of the most distinguished people of his day and discussed with them issues as far ranging as physics to human rights.
But Einstein had another frequent visitor. She was not, in the world's eyes, an important person like his other guests. She was a ten-year-old girl named Emmy. Emmy heard that a very kind man who knew a lot about mathematics had moved into her neighborhood. Since she was having trouble with her fifth-grade arithmetic, she decided to visit the man down the block and see if he would help her with her problems. Einstein was very willing and explained everything to her so that she could understand it. He also told her she was welcome to come anytime she needed help.
A few weeks later, one of the neighbors told Emmy's mother that Emmy was often seen entering the house of the world-famous physicist. Horrified, she told her daughter that Einstein was a very important man, whose time was very valuable, and he couldn't be bothered with the problems of a little schoolgirl. And then she rushed over to Einstein's house, and when Einstein answered the door, she started trying to blurt out an apology for her daughter's intrusion – for being such a bother. But Einstein cut her off. He said, "She has not been bothering me! When a child finds such joy in learning, then it is my joy to help her learn! Please don't stop Emmy from coming to me with her school problems. She is welcome in this house anytime."
(Peter Kennedy, Copyright 2000, Devotional E-Mail, "It Is His Joy" (located at http://www.geocities.com/palmercog/joydevo.html) (last visited April 22, 2008)).
And that's how it is with God! From it's very opening pages, all the way to the end of the book, the Bible is a story about how God has pursued us with an unchanging and unquenchable and UNDESERVED love, because he wants us to come to his house! And we do that in this life through prayer! It's an amazing privilege.

Ibanez homers twice, Yanks sting O's in 12th
NEW YORK (AP) — Raul Ibanez lined a ninth-inning home run while pinch hitting for slumping Alex Rodriguez, then hit a leadoff homer in the 12th, giving the New York Yankees a stunning 3-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday night for a 2-1 lead in their AL division series.
Batting for baseball's highest-paid player, Ibanez homered to right-center with one out in the ninth inning off major league saves leader Jim Johnson to tie it at 2. He then hit the first pitch from Brian Matusz leading off the 12th.
Phil Hughes will start for the Yankees on Thursday night in Game 4 of the best-of-five series. Chris Tillman or Joe Saunders will start for Baltimore.
Baltimore had won 16 straight extra-inning games, and had been 76-0 when leading after seven, before the Yankees stung them.
"It was a great experience. We do it as a team. We stay after it," Ibanez said. "I'm blessed to come up and have the opportunity like that. We do it together. it's about a team and about winning."
Ibanez got that chance after Yankees manager Joe Girardi made the decision to bat for Rodriguez — the first time A-Rod had ever been pinch-hit for in a postseason game, according to STATS LLC.
"You're going to be asked a lot of questions if it doesn't work," Girardi said.
Rodriguez has 647 career home runs — he's chasing the all-time record of 762 by Barry Bonds — but was just 1 for 12 with no RBIs and seven strikeouts in this series when Girardi pulled him.
The brash, young Orioles appeared poised to move within a game of their first trip to the AL championship series since 1997.
But Ibanez hit a 1-0 pitch into the seats, setting off a raucous celebration in what had been a demoralized Yankee Stadium crowd. Rodriguez led the cheers, raising an arm in the dugout and high-fiving injured star Mariano Rivera. Continued...
Now the Yankees could put away the Orioles for good.
After their 10-game July lead was cut to zero in early September, the Yankees repelled every Orioles charge. The teams were tied 10 times in the final month but New York ended up atop the division.
New York won the opener in Baltimore scoring five runs in the ninth off Johnson. The Orioles won Game 2 and rode Miguel Gonzalez's pretty performance to a 2-1 lead in the ninth.
But The Yankees limited Baltimore to one hit after Manny Machado homered in the fifth. Ryan Flaherty homered earlier for the Orioles.
Robert Andino was doubled off second after leading off the ninth with a single and advancing on a sacrifice.
Boone Logan got one out in relief of Hiroki Kuroda, who gave up two solo homers in 8 1-3 innings. Closer Rafael Soriano pitched 1 1-3 innings and David Robertson went two, finishing off his outing by bumping into and tagging Andino to end the top of the 12th.
Derek Jeter tied the score with an RBI triple in the third for the Yankees. Jeter, limping because of a sore ankle, came out after eight innings.

Update: This giveaway is Closed.
This may be one of the shortest and simplest reviews that I write about a product. There is one thing I did not like about Munchie Mug...that is the fact I did not purchase this mug 2 years ago! Seriously, I could have saved hours of vacuuming my car (okay, lets get real...I could have saved my husband hours). This little mug is such a simple and basic concept and yet it works so well.
Here is my daughter with the mug. She sticks her hand it to get her Cheerios and the fabric seal wraps around her little hand not allowing her to spill anything out. Funny thing is that we took it to her doctor's appointment today and this particular doctor is a bit of a neat FREAK...great quality in a doctor. I think he liked the mug better then I did...no spills! Last visit, Savvy spilled some Cheerios and he popped out of his chair so fast saying, "there is no 5 second rule at the doctor's office".
Taking care of the mug - must be easy for me to like it....through in the dishwasher...loving it!
You can order a mug in pink, blue or yellow at munchiemug.com.

14 Februari 2012 13:30Moderator
Is it a good practice to use GUID in all tables in a database?
The short answer to this question is, "NO!" As you have seen the answer of whether or not to use a GUID at all is "it depends." The guideline that I would recommend is that you avoid using GUIDs unless you know that you have to.
There are definite negative performance implications associated with GUIDs; however, there are also times in which it is best to use a GUID.
As far as the unqualified issue of "use of a GUID in ALL tables":

In addition to Brian's and Kent's responses...
If you plan to use GUID as clustered key there are 2 factors you need to consider. First is the size. GUID requires 16 bytes while identity is either 4 or 8 bytes depend on the data type. Second is how to generate value. Random values generated by NEWID() are very bad for performance especially when you're dealing with large (GBs) tables due random IO. For both - clustered and non-clustered index. Those random inserts go to the different part of data files and in most part of the cases data would not be in the cache (think about physical IO). Second, you'll have excessive amount of page splits and huge fragmentation. All of that leads to the very bad performance.
NEWSEQUENTIALID() is better than NEWID() - it's kind of sequential (but it reseeds itself from time to time). On the other hand there is no particular reasons to use that instead of identity.
I would suggest not to use GUIDs on the large tables in the case if you need to index them. If you're looking for the scenario how to generate unique keys across multiple database consider to use either composite indexes (DBId, RecId) or do some kind of bit masks (bigint where high 4 bytes are DBId and low 4 bytes is unique value with the database).
If you want to use GUID for security reasons (for example reference it from the query string), think about using 2 columns - indexed ID + non-indexed GUID,
Thank you!

Uniqueidentifiers (GUID) are useful in a distributed environment when you plan on rolling up data to a central database for reporting and other analytics. They are also useful when running bi-directional replication or in other cases where you need to synchronized data between two or more databases.
In a distributed environment, it can prevent PK/AK collisions and when there is a collision across multiple databases, it makes it easier to resolve. However, like everything else, there is a cost in using them. In general I would never cluster on a column that was using uniqueidentifiers, unless it was read-only.

Even then, it is probably better to use a server identifier and a composite PK. Why use a GUID which, ultimately, is just a guess, when something that guarantees uniqueness and has some useful information is availible.

Okay, these people both have no Idea how the GUID is stored. Both actually believe it is stored (and processed) as string. No it's NOT. It's stored and processed as a 16 byte or 128 bit integer.
It's expressed to us humans, for readability reasons, as a hexadecimal String. But that is the same as as with IPv4 or IPv6 adresses: This is only expressions towards the user, because we humans have serious problems reading, memorizing, entering or comparing 32 or 128 digits long bit patterns.

get it, GUID is for small table when no primary key
Quite the opposite.
I personally use the simple INT with IDENTITY(1,1) for most Columns. For lookupt tables I could propabyl go down to small or tinyint. If int should become to small (wich is unlikely), go to bigint first: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187745.aspx
If bigint becomes to small, you propably run out of RAM or Diskspace first.GUID is mostly for the scenario where you have two seperate database, both allow inserts and both have to synchronize.
Just using INT, Indentity would guarantee the new Primary keys to be duplciate (making any synchronisation impossible or needing a lot of handwork). Or use only even keys in one, wich causes it's own problems (if one has 1 entry and the other 100 at synchronsiation, 200 key values in both are 'lost').
With GUID's the chance for a duplciated PK is so unbelivable unlikely, that we can take it as non-existant (and leave the one case that is ever going to happen worldwide to manual correction).You still could use it, but there are some small perfoance and storage space issues. Nothing near what the "it's stored and processed a string"-people say, but it is there. It's twice the storage and processing time of a bigint.
