Sometimes, the internet is just a big race to get the first quip in before anyone else. In comment sections everywhere (including Deadspin's—especially Deadspin's), it's about proving your wit. And that's perfectly all right! But for every comment that elicits laughs, there are 100 awful, lazy, garbage-ass comments that contribute nothing to the discussion or are simply dreadful to read, and roughly 70 of them will be some variation on "Stay classy."
"Stay classy" has been around for a while, but now it belongs wholly to Anchorman. If you don't know the original context, you are either an eight-year-old who shouldn't be on this site (hi!) or a liar. The phrase mutated from a silly movie quote into some twisted spawn of a pop culture reference and moral commentary, one that can conveniently fit in a manual retweet.
How did we get here? Around the middle of 2005, "stay classy" began picking up steam. The film came out in July 2004, and the DVD in December of that year, but as with many cult classics, it took its time entering the vernacular. Somehow, "stay classy" usage has steadily increased for nearly a decade. The phrase has been used in headlines about a mob assault during the Vancouver fan riots, Chris Brown, and Derek Jeter giving gift baskets to girls after he fucks them. December isn't over yet, but in October 2013, "stay classy" was at the highest it's ever been.
"Stay classy" is a tool of smarm for dumb people. Well, dumber people. It says, "I, a person with class, think your action does not have class, though I will not deign to explain why not. Also, I saw that movie everyone else saw." But original purpose of the quote has been dulled to where people use it for any fucking reason whatsoever. Observe this search for a few minutes, watch how often (and poorly) it's used, and go walk into the ocean. Let's look at some examples:
The "Poster Boy"
hangtime.blogs.nba.com/2012/11/28/ron…Stay Classy Rondo, #Celticsarethugs— Brian Kluger (@Briankluger) November 29, 2012
Cade Foster received death threats for missing that field goal. Stay classy Bama fans— Suave Guy (@TheTXSuaveGuy) December 1, 2013
This whole team can be boiled down to one player being a dick. Fuck that team.
The Blanket Statement
"I saw something that I personally do not agree with, and now I will generalize about a city or even country because of it."
The Indictment Of Fans
What a scathing critique! Because fans have always been held to the same social expectations as a dinner party in the lavish part of Connecticut.
The Perfect Overlap Of Reference And Subject
You stay classy San Diego. #filner RT @KFINEWS: Bob Filner apologizes to supporters, says he's a victim of lynch mob http://t.co/IwbE0Z3uAb
— Michael Djajich (@mdjajich) August 23, 2013
When a classless display actually happens in San Diego: Fucking. Drop. Everything. This is your moment to shine, clever Internet snowflake. This thing totally ties in with that thing from that movie! So many levels! Surely this will get a MINIMUM of two favs.
The Nonsensical Attempt
Chargers PA is playing Madonna's "Hung Up" now. Interesting choices in stadium music. Stay classy, San Diego.— Sanjay Vemuri (@BlameSanjay) November 26, 2012

If "stay classy" can indicate an actual wish for someone to stay classy, semantics are dead.

Comments about Womens CEP Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Injury Recovery:
I purchased these socks for running. I already own a pair of the calf compression sleeves, and appreciated the benefits of running in them, but wanted to try these as well to experience the full support on my feet and ankles. I love them! They fit perfectly and provide great compression support that helps keep my legs strong during a run, and they aid with recovery afterward. They are a bit pricey, but well worth it!

Comments about Womens CEP Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Injury Recovery:
I tried running in these socks at the Road Runner adventure run this past summer and had to have a pair. These socks, at first, were so difficult to get on I was a bit nervous trying them plus it was so hot that day I was concerned I'd be hotter with tall socks on BUT they kept my legs very cool! I thought then my legs would be cold in the winter, but they also keep them warm! I guess you can say these socks always keep your legs the right temperature. I always feel energized and ready to run wearing these. Even though they are expensive they're worth the money. Highly recommended.

Comments about Womens CEP Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Injury Recovery:
I bought these to speed up recovery between runs and I couldn't be happier with them. The compression is really solid which means its takes some doing to get them on, but once they're in place they feel great. I wake up the morning after a tough evening run with almost no leg soreness.
Best Uses
Comments about Womens CEP Progressive+ Run Socks 2.0 Injury Recovery:
The few times I have worn these socks my lower legs have never felt tired. I ran my first half marathon with these and was able to referee a college soccer match the next day without any fatigue. You definitely feel the compression from the toes up to the knee. Best purchase to keep my soreness to a minimum.

I have run the jumper sequence twice.
I let the ice freeze and jumped again. The unit dumped the ice and refilled, but the optics are flashing two three flashes telling the optics does not recognize the ice maker is attached...
Remove the thermostat jumper prior to the ejector blades reaching the 10:00 position, or else you will not see the water fill.
If the optics were bad you would that get ice at all.Maybe put it all back together and see what happens tomorrow afternoon.
Pull refrigerator out and on the picture i sent you number# 13 part is a fast disconnect.This is the tube that lets water in ice maker by that black grommet on freezer ceiling.Push down on it and it will come off.Then see if you can blow threw there to check for ice blockage.If you can't that black grommet is frozen.Next if you know how to make a cheater cord to apply 120 volts to the solenoid on the water valve that has the smaller tubing and connects to that# 13 part This will let water flow in the unconnected disconnect #13 part.Of course up plug refrigerator using cheater cord.If you have no water the valve is bad if the dispenser works.Whats left is icemaker or optic .Most of time its the icemaker if water valve is good Use manual J.W sent to find out.

WASHINGTON - In interviews with Paula Broadwell conducted earlier this year, the biographer and paramour of Gen. David Petraeus said a mutual devotion to running strengthened the pair's bond.
"I think that was a big part of the reason we had such rapport. I had gone to West Point, we shared this love of running and fitness," Broadwell told the Seattle- based Bob Rivers show in February.
Broadwell told Rivers she poured on the speed to keep up with Petraeus on a run from the Pentagon to the National Mall and back.
"The first time I ran with him ... I thought I would test him," Broadwell says in her interview.
"We could run 6-minute miles," said Broadwell. "We started at the Pentagon ... I notice he starts to pick up the pace ... at some point I turned off the recorder and we just ran the last 2 and 1/2 miles at a 6- minute-mile pace."
In a January interview, Broadwell told Don Imus on Fox Business that she first met Petraeus while in graduate studies at Harvard University:
"I went up to him and said I'm working on this research and would love to get your feedback or connect with folks in your military organization and share these ideas. He gave me his card. We kept in touch."
In the interview with Imus, Broadwell spoke glowingly about Petraeus's wife, Holly.
"He is married to Holly Petraeus who is a wonderful military spouse who has done so much for their children and for children of fallen soldiers. I respect her immensely," said Broadwell.
Perhaps prophetically, Broadwell is named in her Bismark, N.D. high school year book as "most likely to be remembered."

Have a new idea?
|frankt72 says:
I would very much like to have the ability to add a handwritten note to any task. This would greatly improve RTM on the iPad, as typing on the iPad is slower than writing (for instance with a stylus). Thus during meetings it will be much easier to jot down some notes/actions on any (project)list.
Posted at 9:43pm on June 7, 2011
|dvaughan says:
AGREE, A relationship with NOTES PLUS would make this happen. NOTES PLUS has HWR as well. I DON'T WORK FOR NOTES PLUS but it is a great IPAD APP.

The Future of Europe
Europe and the World
Chances and Challenges for the European Union
On an international level, the European Union's member states face a whole host of new risks. Moreover, the rise of new global powers -- China and India, above all -- is making the international environment much more competitive, thus offering both new opportunities and increased potential for conflict. Many of today's developments are not only forcing Europe to redouble its efforts in the economic sphere, they are also putting pressure on its political and social structures.
The EU's biggest challenge is ensuring that the new global order is both stable and just. The EU itself can be seen as a model of successful multilateralism, one that promotes interdependence, solidarity and inclusiveness in order to create a social order that is economically successful and politically stable, not to mention supportive of human and civil rights. Yet the question remains: How can the EU use its global influence to ensure that effective multilateral structures are put into place elsewhere around the world?

SanDisk Ultra II SSD ( 960GB)
With the lowest pricing on the market, the SanDisk Ultra II is an excellent upgrade for your aging computer.

The hefty pricing aside, the Samsung SSD 850 Pro is one of the best, if not the best, standard consumer-grade solid-state drives on the market.

Power users and gamers should look no further than the SanDisk Extreme Pro to get the best performance out of their home computer.
Plextor M6S ( 256GB)

If you can afford the comparatively high price, the new drive is a great replacement for that old hard drive inside your aging computer.

Welcome to the FHWA Congestion Pricing Web Site
National Congestion Pricing Conference
The National Congestion Pricing Conference was held July 9-10, 2013 in Seattle, Washington to discuss recent successes and challenges to advancing congestion pricing in the United States. View the presentations from this conference.
Congestion pricing - sometimes called value pricing - is a way of harnessing the power of the market to reduce the waste associated with traffic congestion. Congestion pricing recognizes that trips have different values at different times and places and for different individuals. Faced with premium charges during periods of peak demand, road users are encouraged to eliminate lower-valued trips, take them at a different time, or choose alternative routes or transport modes where available. In cases where congestion pricing is applied to specific traffic lanes rather than to an entire highway facility, users have the option of choosing to pay to use congestion-free priced lanes or continue to travel on general purpose lanes without paying a toll. There is a consensus among economists that congestion pricing represents the single most viable and sustainable approach to reducing traffic congestion.
This site provides information and resources to help equip state agencies and practitioners with an understanding and tools to implement congestion pricing projects and incorporate pricing into transportation planning.

Steve Knox: Janesville cross shooting disgusting, dangerous
Unless you've been hiding under a rock during the past year you are aware of the 60 foot cross that stands on the campus of New Life Assembly of God. It was placed, in part, to further the mission of the church which is to "make Janesville and the area Christ conscious." Some love it, some appreciate it and others don't care for it at all.
During service last Sunday it was mentioned that they opened up the area for the spring and while doing general clean up they found bullet holes. After further review, eight .22-caliber-sized holes were planted in the cross. What in the world???
I was asked what I thought about the incident and at first I had nothing to say. Was it anger or hatred? It was definitely reckless. Those bullets travel some serious distance. What if they missed? There are residents in the area.
I had a discussion with a few folks close to the church and there are no leads that the police can chase down. The coward vandal succeeded—yet what they succeeded in is not quite clear. I wandered out to the cross on Sunday to take a look for myself. I am just thankful there was no one near the cross at the time of this reckless crime. Four of the right bullets were at eye level. The other four were sprayed about 20 feet up.
It's just head shaking. Did the criminal do it to get a rise? It's a dangerous and illegal "rise." Thank you New Life for keeping Janesville and the area Christ conscious.

Stanczyk just read EOGN (Eastman Online Genealogy Network) and could not believe what he read. So I followed the source and read that and still did not believe. So I checked further – because I could NOT locate the benchmark/methodology of the survey which is NOT credible. I then Googled and found this source here: http://www.progenealogists.com/top50genealogy2011.htm . I certainly would agree with these rankings as these are what I use most often throughout the year.
Perhaps I am not Canadian as the source EOGN quoted was and perhaps the methodology was geographic based (in Canada, with UK add-in). Dick Eastman should do some extra checking rather than just re-broadcasting bogus news. That is my expectation for EOGN. Read the EOGN blog post that I am railing against here: http://blog.eogn.com/eastmans_online_genealogy/2011/09/genealogy-site-rankings.html
Certainly if I surveyed Polish Genealogy websites, my list would look differently too.

Paul, perhaps you are being confused by a southernism.
"I doubt that I'll actually spend all of 3 days on AA. I spent three days on half a chapter of FA."
SVC spent three days in a row when he handled FA. At some point in the third day he sent the whole chapter (which is not finished because I haven't seen it) and sent it to Jay. My guess is that he formatted the chapter, but did not read or edit it. That will let Jay see any issues and when we have any free time, we can move on it.
That being said, I assure you that we all want to see FA come out. Jay and SVC will work on it and get the kinks ironed out, then SVC will let me loose on it.
At that point, Jay will learn the song "Mean Jean" (
) and he'll sing lead with SPP and SVC doing the backup vocals.
Maybe they can do that at the Origins Singalong?
And the product will be great!

I put up with a lot from people who don't know what they're talking about, but there is a limit. There is simply no further point in going over and over the same things, and I have taking all of the disrespect I intend to. I will remind Paul B that it is a violation of the forum rules, leading to suspension from this forum, to ask about, question, or object to on this forum how those rules are enforced. (You can do that by email, but frankly, I'm not going to be listening to you any more.) You've said what you have to say, you've been heard, and we need not discuss this any further. The only thing that further bacon, moaning, disrespect, accusations, and general BS from you can accomplish is either cancelling the product just so I never have to deal with you again or kicking you out of the forum so I never have to deal with you again. Learn to behave with some respect and decorum and your posts won't get deleted.
Right now, I am still finishing the CL42 FLAP list (the list of 37 things that have to be done to every product we do AFTER those products are "published" and "shipped".) Until that's done (the last of it by early next week) I won't be working on Distant Armada, CL43, Star Fleet Marines, ISC WAR, GURPS FEDERATION, Federation Admiral, Gorn Attack, Borders of Madness, SFB Module R13, Andromedan Threat File, SFB Master Starship Book, SFB Module E3, more stuff for e23, the FC Scenario Reference Book, the paperback anthology Day of the Eagle, Starship Aldo, Prime Directive Savage Worlds, Battlestations Star Fleet, Reflection Universe, or Battleship Armada. When I do get some of my "design time" that the flap list doesn't consume, there will be much competition for my time.
Now, as for Federation Admiral, it's been too long to remember specifics, but the general category of problems (with synthetic examples) are things like this....
1. Decide if some term (something like "embargo" or "blockade" or "drone bombardment step") is going to be capitalized or not. In even the most recently edited manuscript, this is still a major problem.
2. Standardize terms. For example, in another project I do remember, the writer interchangeably used terms such as Start Phase, Start of Turn Phase, Start of Turn Procedure, Turn Star Phase, Turn Start Procedure. He needed to pick one of those and change all of the others to that.
There are about ten more examples, but those are enough. The point is that it's hard to go three or four LINES in Jay's text without running into something that has to be fixed dozens of times in the remaining document. Presumably, by the time we get three or four chapters into it, we'll have found a lot of these things and will have fixed them. This is why I tell Jay to only send me one chapter at a time (and why I am baffled that he keeps resending the entire document when his chapter 7 will be obsolete and modified again when I finish Chapter 2).
Another unrelated point to consider is that while I work more hours per day and per week than anyone reading this (except, maybe, Jean <counting her non-SFU job> and Petrick) I have a lot of duties, most of which do not include designing games. It's entirely possible that I may say "It will take a week of work on FA to get chapter 2 done" and that during those seven days that might amount to six or seven HOURS because I have to actually run the company, game design time is only a part of that job, lots of things (like communique and e23) eat into the limited "design time", and lots of projects (see list above) are competing for that design time. (If Petrick is going to make any progress on Module R13, he has to stop me from working on FA and take a couple of hours of my "design time" to go over issues involving R13. Same thing if Chuck Strong needs to talk about ISC War, Mike West needs to talk about FC Gorn Attack, Jean needs to get me to make decisions about GURPS FEDS, or some sculptor needs me to look at a new starship miniature.) There is no contradiction between "a week of work" and "six or seven actual clock hours". It's the way things happen. Remember that I have to do things like go over the accounting and budget (that Leanna does), write the press releases, talk to wholesalers, supervise employees, solve problems in the warehouse that get beyond what the guys working there can handle, deal with customer requests, approve submissions (ships, scenarios, rules, fiction) for all of the product lines (SFB, SFBF, F&E, GPD, PD20M, FC, SL2400, CapLog, Starmada, and others), drive over to the printer to approve a thousand dollar press job, do map graphics for SFM so that playtesters can make progress on Scenario #4). I'm busy. it's how small business works in America. And yesterday, I took the day off to do Christmas shopping and get everything done for my wife's birthday. During this entire year, I think that it the third non-Sunday I have taken off (and out of the last 47 Sundays, i've worked at least a few hours on 43 of them and more than 8 hours on six of them).
I'll be happy to take a few minutes now and then and TEACH you how a business works so you can do what everyone else around here does (actually make worthwhile input), but you're going to have to START showing some RESPECT.

Paul B, please take any further commentary on the editing of this topic to email. Debating the actions of a moderator or a company officer is not done on the Forum.
Feel free to PM me if you care to discuss this further.
Please do not PM SVC as PMs crash his computer and that makes him exceptionally cranky.

Paul, that is enough. There will be no more public critical remarks regarding SVC or his actions in this matter on this Forum. You were advised to take this to email. Please do so if you have further negative remarks.
This constitutes your second warning. A third warning comes with a week-long suspension.

Folks, I do want to get the record straight about FA and some of the issues going on.
Whenever two games try to blend, there are always issues. Looking at what I am doing to PD20M Feds to turn it into GURPS Feds shows me that minor things need close attention.
Let's look at the filk "Mean Jean"
Mean Jean said to change these,
Who am I to disagree?
She said I missed a parentheses,
Jean is always naggin' 'bout somethin'.
Sometimes she wants a comma,
Sometimes she wants to take one out.
For example, is it "Cats, dogs, and mice do not play well together" or "Cats, dogs and mice don't play well together" or some combination? ADB uses a comma before "and" and "or" in lists of three or more. (This prevents the issue of the sentence "I'd like to thank my parents, Jay Waschak and WebMom" getting me and Jay into hot water!) It isn't something that can be changed with a global command to change " and" to ", and" as "Cats, and dogs fight frequently" is wrong.
In addition, many people add commas whenever they pause, and that is not correct usage. The comma after "pause" above should come out, for example.
Sometimes she wants to cap this;
Sometimes she wants to de-cap that. . .
Most people have an Urge when Writing Rules to Capitalize Important Concepts. If Left Unchecked, All Words Will Soon Be Capitalized. When I first started working with SVC, I stomped my little foot and said, "I need a list of important words that must always be capitalized. I suggest you don't do too many of them, because whatever is in the list will
be capitalized from this point forward." The Capitalization Guide is now 24 pages long and will grow when I get to Amarillo after Christmas and SVC integrates all of my notes from F&E 2010. Using this makes sure that you don't see both of the following sentences in an article or in rules:
Using Aegis protects against drones.
When your aegis fails, it is bad news.
Poor SVC has been listening to me for three years as I have worked closely with him. I phone and he spends hours "capping" this and "decapping" that. It is best for both Jay and him if they come up with a guide for me to follow so we don't have dueling "capping/decapping" contests.
Art and "color" writing is always tricky with our licenses. Not everything from ST:TOS or TAS is in our license. We have to be absolutely sure that we will not get into trouble with Larry Niven and his Kzintis or Paramount with their properties. Why, even in PD20M Feds, we had to ask an artist to change his work as we didn't have the rights to the weapon he drew. It is a common problem as people don't know all the restrictions.
Sometimes she wants to bold this;
Sometimes she wants to de-bold that. . .
We won't even get into formatting issues. Is a title in all caps in 12-point font or in 14-point? Are the first words of a rule bold? All capped? Just important ones capped? Are paragraphs indented or left-flush with lines between them? What gets hanging indents? What doesn't? Are "i.e." and "e.g." italicized or not? All of this must be standardized.
That leads into another issue we have: various programs are not playing well with others. A hanging indent for Jay may crash SVC's computer. My first trip to Amarillo, we discovered that two particular symbols in Word (a soft return and a particular kind of space) would crash SVC's computer when he imported documents containing them into his version of Pagemaker. It takes a while to discover that and to find a work-around.
Now, all that being said, the real meat of the book (i.e., the rules) are sound as far as I can determine. It is going to be a good product; there is no doubt in my mind about that. We just have to get the details fixed and that takes SVC time as he has to do the layout and vetting of any license issues. It takes Jay time to fix the problems that SVC identifies. Then it takes more SVC time to implement the changes.
I promise you that SVC wants to minimize the amount that I have to call in and that means a lot of work up front from Jay and him. We want the appearance of the book to be as professional as possible. When you see mistakes like "The ships Fihgters can be launches" (not that Jay has made any such egregious error), then subconsciously you wonder what other mistakes are in the book.
Now does that explain where we are coming from sufficiently? As I have said, we all want FA to come out. It is a good concept and will be a great product. If we all (Jay, SVC, and I) didn't have faith in it, then we wouldn't have given it as much time as it has already gotten. As we work through this, the purple "Jean" marks will become fewer as we standardize terms such as "Gibblefuzz 1", "gibble fuzz one", "Gibble fuzz number one", and "gibble Fuzz #1" (settling finally on Gibblefuzz #1). Those will all be changed globally and we'll never have to deal with that issue again. (It is harder when common words are used as game terms. "The ship will turn left" is correct in FC. "On Turn #1, I fired all my phasers at him" is also correct. Changing the capitalization from "turn" to Turn" cannot be made as a global change, not easily. Still, I have faith that Jay will get most of them right and I'm always the safety net, just as I am for our other products.)
I'm going to go back and re-read the After-Action Report (if you hear screaming, that is SVC's "NOOOOOOOOOooooooo..." and you won't hear the whimper -- he knows that there is never a page that doesn't get a purple "Jean" mark on it) for the CL#42 Supplemental File. Then I'll work more on GURPS Feds so that I can experience the joys of layout in Pagemaker when I get to Amarillo after Christmas this year. Y'all deserve the best from us and we try to give you what you deserve.

Let me be clear about a few things...
1. Jay is a great game designer, and I've never said anything less about him. No one from ADB has ever said a critical word about the DESIGN of Fed Admiral
2. There are issues with formatting, punctuation, cap guides, style books, and so forth, but we are determined to work through these because FA will be a great product.
3. When someone says it's my fault FA is late, that is a mistaken assumption that needs to be corrected. It's not my fault. It's problems noted in #2 above. I'm not going to take the blame when it's not my fault.
Note to Paul B: You were NOT "conciliatory" and clearly had no intention of being so. Your posts amounted to "Don't punish me! By the way, I am now going to repeat what you said I'd be punished for saying." You have shown no respect. You have no place here or in polite society. Your next violation will be your last. Any game publisher EXCEPT us would have thrown you out for life two posts ago. We've given you a FINAL warning.

We take pre-orders one week before release. There is no benefit (to you or to us) to order a March product in january,and it's an administrative nightmare. There are federal laws about keeping your money that long, plus the couple of times we did it we had people changing orders, adding to orders, dropping products from orders, changing their address. It's just a nightmare that we don't need.

I'm delighted to see FA on the release schedule and I look forward eagerly to playing it.
Will we need to wait for the auxiliaries in Briefing No3 to use it with FC?
Although if they exist in SFB, I suppose FC versions can be extemporised.

While I remain mystified by the desire for a campaign book, I respect those who want it (which is why it's on the schedule). I'm sure it will work fine without FCB3 but I'm sure it will work better and better as more and more FC ships are released.

I don't understand why anyone
want a campaign book!
One-off games get old and stale.
Players throw their ships (tanks, soldiers, whatever) around without regard.
For me, campaigns (manageable, controlled, limited) are always better than a series of unconnected scenarios.
They have a life and sense of continuity that stand-alone scenarios can never have. They give you something to plot and plan and talk about away from the game table.
They also give you something regular scenarios don't. Consequences.
The mini scenario, with the Kang caught on the wrong side of the Kzin border? Good stuff. The two linked scenarios, with the Klinks grabbing the Tholian PC(web) and running? Gooder stuff. That's right - gooder. Following Roxanna Vulpes squadron, stuck out there in Hydran space? More gooderer. They all involve the kind of decisions you can't get from single scenarios.
But hey, I don't need my desires to be understood. It is enough that they be respected.
Or at least appeased

Campaigns are certainly excellent, but..
Come up with your own campaign in discussion with those you play, a campaign custom designed to fullfill the desires of your own group. Then spend the money saved on something else?
There are probably as many ideas as to what constitutes a good campaign as there are players. I'll wait to see (or hear) what this product is aiming at before deciding whether to buy.

WASHINGTON - It's now happened for the 27th time. Metro says a cracked rail outside Friendship Heights is causing single tracking on the Red Line between Medical Center and Van Ness-UDC.
It's expected to take between two and three hours to repair, says Metro spokesman Dan Stessel. The problem should be fixed prior to the afternoon rush.
Trains are running every 12 minutes on the line.
While Metro has dealt with more than 25 cracked rails this year, Metro says they are seeing a decrease of cracked rails by 40 percent compared to last year.
Many trains on the Red Line are subject to water infiltration and that's what leads to cracked rails, Stessel says.
A cracked rail slowed down Metro's Red Line for about five hours on Thursday, in the 26th case this year of a broken rail on the transit system, according to Metro.
This comes after an incident on the Red Line Thursday that slowed down travel for several hours.
The Washington Examiner ( http://tinyurl.com/c29f3dd) reports that last year, there were 49 cracked rails on the Washington area's subway system. There were 33 in 2010, 19 in 2009 and just seven in 2008.
The cracked rail on Thursday occurred near the Bethesda station. Trains were forced to share a single track for about 5 hours between the morning and evening peaks.
It's not clear what's causing so many cracks. Metro has blamed fluctuating temperatures at times, but Thursday's incident occurred underground, where temperatures are more stable.
Metro officials say they're about to start using a new track-testing machine that uses thermal imaging and can pinpoint trouble spots before cracks form.

Some of convection cooking's palate-pleasing advantages:
Convection cooking's energy-saving advantages include reduced cooking time by as much as 25 percent and lower oven temperatures.
Convection cooking also produces tender baked fish; juicy, crisp-skinned poultry; and delicious pastries and desserts of all types. In fact, any dish you would normally bake in a standard gas or electric oven can be cooked satisfactorily in a convection oven, but roasting and baking are its strong points. Convection oven advantages:
Heated air is driven by a fan under and around foods for fast, even cooking and browning. The convection method speeds baking, roasting and broiling. Moreover, your oven is suitable for multilevel baking because of a circular heating element surrounding the fan. The fan distributes the heat from the rear, allowing even browning of large quantities of food being baked at the same time.

We've made substantive progress over the weekend—and the Healthcare.gov site continues to get better each week.
First, we took steps to improve hardware and software issues. We successfully installed two large-scale data storage units, which will help ensure the stability of the Federally-facilitated Marketplace application. Storage units are crucial to handling volume, and more will be added over the next few weeks. Additionally, we are closely monitoring load balances among storage units to ensure efficient transaction handling.
Second, based on the new protocol established last week to enable integrated performance teams to identify, prioritize, test and fix specific software issues on an accelerated basis, we implemented software fixes that addressed dozens of outstanding issues.
These updates will improve the user experience, improve system throughput, and streamline the process for agent/brokers and customer service representatives.
A few examples – which demonstrate the depth and specificity of fixes we've done to enhance the application and user experience include the following:
- "Save" and "remove" options were added for consumers to upload documents to enable easier enrollment.
- Consumer alerts were added on Plan Compare to let users know they cannot use Advanced Premium Tax Credits (APTC) if they select catastrophic plans.
- And Out-of-state residency information changes were simplified.
A number of other application fixes also improve user flow and address issues with 834 transaction forms. 834s are the transaction forms that the Marketplace system provides to insurance companies to complete the processing of an application and to enable the customer to ultimately complete payment and enrollment with the issuer.
- Cancellation notices have been corrected. Users –individuals or insurers—are now notified appropriately when a cancellation is made.
- A rate rounding issue was fixed to enable users' applications to move forward more easily. Previously, APTC calculations that rounded resulted in stopping the application process.
- If an individual chooses to work with a broker/agent, the broker can now add a unique identifier to simplify the workflow and to reference the information in the future.
In addition to these recent fixes, our ongoing monitoring shows that the system is stable with users moving more quickly through it with fewer errors. As we've reported previously, we've also resolved many of the initial account creation issues that consumers had experienced early on.
Third, we know that in the first days of open enrollment many consumers tried to log in to the Marketplace on HealthCare.gov— and to take the first step to create an online account— but had trouble. While working to improve our systems, we've been conducting analysis to identify those consumers who may have been unsuccessful in creating accounts at that time.
Today we're beginning to send messages to those consumers who had account creation issues to let them know they can now try again. And we're providing them with instructions about how to get enrolled—and some tips. We have also posted a consumer blog on this at HealthCare.gov.
We'll continue to actively communicate with consumers about where they are in the process and what they need to do to complete enrollment over time. As we go forward, we continue to make progress on HealthCare.gov. We have the right team in place and a relentless focus on getting the job done quickly and well. The site is getting better each week, and by the end of November, it will be working smoothly for the vast majority of users.

Written by Christy Hinko Friday, 20 August 2010 00:00
On Thursday, Aug. 12, Governor David Paterson held a news conference at the Nassau County Police Academy in Massapequa Park to announce a new provision to Leandra's Law, requiring that all individuals convicted of a DWI, even first time offenders with, or without a child in the vehicle to install an ignition interlock system on any vehicle they operate. The provision went into effect on Sunday, Aug. 15.
This is a triumph for the advocates of ignition interlocks, including the local Long Island chapter of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) who have lobbied tirelessly in Albany to remove it from judicial discretion, an optional condition assigned to those convicted of drunken driving.
"I fought for this new law to ensure that an ignition interlock will take the weapon out of a drunk driver's hands; ignition interlocks have proven effective at stopping convicted drunk drivers from committing repeat DWI crimes," said Senator Charles Fuschillo, Jr. "With drunk drivers killing hundreds of people on New York roads every year, this is an important and critical step to end the drunk driving epidemic in New York State."
Ignition interlocks are breath test devices that are linked to a vehicle's ignition system. The device prevents the car from being started if alcohol is detected on the driver's breath.
"While mandatory interlocks can be life-savers that literally take the keys out of the hands of convicted drunk drivers, we can never become complacent or think that we have done all we can," said Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice. "As long as there is one driver who gets behind the wheel of a car after drinking, then we are all at risk and still have work to do."
The costs associated with the device and its installation are assigned to the offender, and are at no cost to taxpayers. The ignition interlock devices have proven effective in states where the law has already been established. In such cases, New Mexico reported that cases of DWI crashes dropped by 31 percent, DWI related injuries were reduced by 39 percent, and DWI related fatalities dropped by 35 percent. New York requires the devices be installed for a minimum of six months, and maximum of five years. Anyone attempting to circumvent the device can face additional charges and imprisonment.
In addition to New York, only 11 other states require offenders to install the ignition interlock systems on their vehicles. The New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services estimates nearly 25,000 drivers will be ordered to install the interlock ignition device each year.
Nassau County Police Commissioner Lawrence Mulvey said, "The Nassau County Police Department has made arresting DWI offenders one of its top priorities and we will aggressively continue these efforts to make our roadways safer and protect our most precious natural resource, our children."
MADD Long Island Advisory Council Chairperson Denna Cohen was present, in full support of the legislation, not only as a victim advocate, but also as the mother of a victim. A multiple offending, drunken driver killed her daughter, Jodi, 21 years ago.
"Mandatory interlocks on all DWI offenders will save lives," said Cohen. "I am now without Jodi longer than I had her and you know what, the pain still does not go away. It is still the same open wound in my heart and in my family's hearts."
Cohen said, "If this law, Leandra's Law, had been in effect 21 years ago, I wouldn't be standing here now; Jodi would be here now; Leandra would be here now; Katie would be here now, because these people wouldn't have been on the streets."
Family members of other victims were present for the announcement including those of Katie Flynn and Leandra Rosado.
In 2005, in a wrong-way, head-on crash on the Meadowbrook Parkway, a drunk driver struck the limousine 7-year-old Katie Flynn rode in, causing her death and the death of the limousine driver, Stanley Rabinowitz. The offender, Martin Heidgen, was convicted of their deaths and is serving an 18-year-to-life sentence in Nassau County Jail.
The advocacy of Neil and Jennifer Flynn, parents of Katie, led to the passage of legislation, creating the crimes of aggravated vehicular assault and aggravated vehicular homicide in 2007.
"We live with the pain of Katie's death every day; so, in the hopes of saving others from suffering the loss of a child, we've joined in the fight against drunk driving, and we support legislation that results in aggressive DWI prosecutions," said Jennifer Flynn. "As long as we can make a difference, we will continue to do everything we can to change the permissive culture that still surrounds drunk driving."
Father of Leandra Rosado, Lenny, is aggressively pursuing stricter penalties, tougher convictions and changes to anti-DWI laws. His daughter was killed less than a year ago in a horrific crash on the West Side Highway, where a friend's mother was hosting a sleepover for her own daughter and several child friends. The drunken crash resulted in the death of 11-year-old Leandra and the serious injuries to the other child passengers. The offender, Carmen Huertas, has pled guilty and is scheduled to be sentenced in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday, Oct. 1.
Governor Paterson signed the initial Leandra's Law into effect in November 2009, less than six weeks after Leandra was killed. The law maintains that individuals who drive drunk with a child in the car will be charged with a felony and face up to four years in prison. The law also mandates up to 25 years sentence for drunken drivers who kill a child passenger in a DWI crash, and up to 15 years for causing serious injury to a child passenger of a drunken related crash. Leandra's Law penalties are in addition to charges and penalties imposed from the initial crime. Leandra's Law is one of the toughest DWI laws anywhere across the nation. In less than eight months, nearly 400 people have been arrested in New York under Leandra's Law for endangering the lives of children.
Governor Paterson said, "This week, New York State will take a huge leap forward in continuing our efforts to make our roadways safer. With this important provision, New York State now has some of the toughest DWI laws in the nation, with a strong focus on prevention. Requiring ignition interlocks for drunk drivers will prevent more senseless deaths and spare other families the endless grief suffered by those who knew and loved Leandra Rosado and Katie Flynn."
As a result of a personal letter from Lenny Rosado to President Barack Obama, he has been invited to speak at the White House on Monday, Sept. 20 in an effort to make Leandra's Law a federal law across all 50 states.
"This law will not only save lives and keep our roads safe, but it sends a message that if you drive drunk in New York State, you will be punished," said Executive Edward Mangano. "The destruction that can be caused by drunk drivers is irreparable, and we have to take every precaution we can to prevent this crime; Leandra's Law adds to our zero-tolerance policy in Nassau County, and shows that this serious crime has equally serious consequences."
Many other local and state lawmakers were present at the press conference and have played a significant role in ensuring the passing of and the additions made to Leandra's Law including Senators Owen Johnson and Martin Dilan; Assemblymen Tom McKevitt, Joe Saladino, Dave McDonough, and Harvey Weisenberg.
Long Island's most recent case under Leandra's Law was the arrest of a Huntington Station man on Wednesday, Aug. 4, who pleaded not guilty for allegedly driving drunk with a 1-year-old baby in the back seat. Police say the man was drunk and has had his license suspended 18 times before this incident.
