Long-distance rail: is it viable in Europe?
As part of a small experiment, I decided to examine different modes of travel between Paris and Berlin. By European standards, these cities are some distance apart, but as the crow flies, they're only 545 miles from each other. This is roughly the same as the distance between Portland and San Francisco (535 miles).
I looked at prices for a round-trip ticket on a random pair of dates, August 1st to August 10th. The lowest air price was a stellar $151 on Lufthansa, while the lowest rail price was $304 -- twice as much! Not to mention, of course, that the rail journey takes 12 hours, while the air trip is a bit more than an hour and a half. Or that the lower rail price is only available on annoying, overnight trips (9 PM to 9 AM), while the air ticket has standard departure times of 9:20 AM and 5:20 PM.
Admittedly, entering in a few other dates suggests that the $151 I found on my first attempt isn't too common. The lowest fares generally range from $200 to $300. But for any sane person to choose rail over air travel on such a long trip, the train will have to display a genuine cost advantage. The fact that this advantage doesn't exist in an environment with vastly more developed passenger rail systems, on a trip that isn't at all long by American standards, suggests that we shouldn't expect rail to become a serious player in most long-distance transportation.
Of course, you don't have to take my word for it: just ax the absurd subsidies given to Amtrak, which are roughly 150 times greater per passenger-mile than those offered to highway transportation, and see what the market says...

I'd say at first glance I disagreed with you on this issue, but later I realized the specific circumstances are different in different countries, as I once heard in rail price is as high as air price in US, while here rail price is a lot lower (usually about 1/2~1/4, but train is very, very uncomfortable --!) than air price (which means government should control the railway system, to make most poorer people afford tickets).
Now I really think it is a waste for a country with a sound transportation system to fund an interstate railway, because people could use airway for long-distance travel, use highway for sightseeing, or even use long-distance buses for places without airports. And if interstate railway has to exist to satisfy a fraction of people's requirement, government does not have to subsidize it. The private owner could easily administer and even "centrally plan" the railway system as the government, and the only change is the owner of property right. If things go like this, efficiency and effectiveness won't lose, while public funds are saved.
by the way, I have been always astonished with so many links you attached in all these articles.... - 11:06 AM
any reason not to include state gas taxes in your little back of the envelope calculation at Ygelsias' blog?
- Matt Rognlie said...
In response to "anonymous":
"Back of the envelope" is a very appropriate description! State taxes and spending produce many more data points than I had time to include in my quick calculation.
Although I acknowledge the omission, I don't view this as a serious problem. If you'll allow me to wax philosophical for a moment, I believe one of the best aspects of a quantitative mindset is the importance placed on orders of magnitude. If a calculation shows that two subsidies differ by a factor of 150, there is really no need to quibble over whether it is 50, 150, or 250: the normative implications of the calculation are the same either way. Even though including state figures may demonstrate that the number isn't exactly 150, the additional data will surely not be enough to bring it down by over two orders of magnitude.
As a result, I don't think it's possible to make a valid case for Amtrak by arguing about the precise disparity in subsidy. You have to come up with some alternative line of reasoning that demonstrates why such an enormous difference in funding is justified, and the demand for such a justification is equally compelling whether the exact disparity is 50 or 500.
That said, has anyone come up with such a compelling argument? Not to my knowledge, although most discussion about transportation policy is cloaked in such quantitative illiteracy that it's hard to understand what rail advocates are actually saying. To me, the pro-rail idea with the most logical currency is that it's useful to preserve some functional core of passenger rail in a country, to the point where normal concerns about efficiency and cost are moot. I don't think that the logic here is valid (partially because it's likely that some rail would exist without much subsidy, at least in the Northeast Corridor), but I still wish it would be presented by its advocates in a more cogent form, so that we could at least avoid the muddle of non-sequiturs that dooms so much of the debate. - 2:58 AM
Omitting the state tax *is* a serious problem.
"Fuel taxes in the United States vary by state. For the first quarter of 2008, the average state gasoline tax is 28.6 cents per gallon, plus 18.4 cents per gallon federal tax making the total 47 cents per gallon (12.4 cents/L)."
The states contribute a *ton* of money to the road/hwy infrastructure, and omitting it from your data renders the calculation incredibly inaccurate (to a significant degree -- I am aware of orders of magnitude). - 12:36 PM
- Matt Rognlie said...
Well, I'm in a bit of a hurry, but the most easily available figure is that total (federal, state, and local) spending on roads in the first 9 months of 2005 was $66.3 billion. Multiplying by 4/3, this gives an estimate of $88.4 billion for the whole year.
An average fuel tax of 47 cents a gallon, times motor gasoline consumption of 389 million gallons per day, times 365 days, gives revenues of about $67 billion. The disparity is then around $21 billion... bigger than the $10 billion I estimated, but it doesn't change the fact that the disparity is still huge (75 instead of 150?).
Moreover, I'll bet that the greater disparity here is just a relic of my back-of-the-envelope calculation, which almost certainly overestimates the subsidy: it includes all spending on roads and highways, but doesn't include fuel taxes on anything but gasoline. Maybe highway spending has risen substantially over the past few years and my estimate of the subsidy (using 2005 spending) is thus biased downward, but I doubt this outweighs the upward bias induced from not including diesel, propane and other fuels at all. - 1:41 PM

I was very please with this product, once I figured out how to use it. I just shook it really hard while banging the brush on my arm and it started to come out. I had the color on 1 , and it was very light and natural looking. My face looked instantly contoured:)
The packaging is weird - like I dont get the point of it. it would be sooo much simpler to just put the powder in a round jar, and dip the brush into it. With this packaging, the brush is upside down and the powder is supposed to flow through the brush. Well, it is like impossible to get enough powder onto the brush without pounding down on the jar, after which you get TOO much powder and when I dusted it on, my mom said my face looks dirty and splotchy.
Overall, the bronzer works quite well.
But, I find it too expensive and I have no clue how to use the brush with the bronzer...Don't know how to take out the brush dial..The packaging is too bulky, but looks nice.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have no idea how to use this!!! I twisted the dial...and played around with the brush, but nothing comes out.
I've even tried it on a piece of white paper!
The price is expensive to for a drugstore bronzer.
I bought this along with the Healthywear bronzer, that one works much better!
The packaging on this caught my eye & I wanted to try it out, but right now...nothing's coming out.
When I figure out how to work this thing maybe I'll like it more!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I can't really write an accurate review for this product because i can't figure out how to use it!!! it says to hold the base and turn brush dial, but nothing is coming out of the brush. its really aggravating me! if anyone on here knows how to get the powder onto the brush, pleeeeeease let me know, cause i feel like i just wasted 15 bucks. thanks. =)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this product! It is a little expensive for a drug-store brand bronzer, but I think it is worth the splurge. I have medium skin naturally, but I also tan in a tanning salon so, I am pretty dark, and this is the only (moderately priced) bronzer I have found that doesn't look orange on my skin. I also like the packaging. It allows you to control the flow of powder to determine the amount of coverage or intensity you want. The built in brush also makes it handy to travel with. Overall I would highly recommend this product, but the packaging may be better suited for someone who has experience with bronzers and knowing how to apply them correctly.

More reviews by beccajumppnonitt
I gave the packaging a 2, because I've yet to find out how to get it to actually come out of the brush, however I discovered the bottom unscrews and you can remove the plastic cap, and pour the powder into a small dish to use. I gave the price a 4, because really this is only worth about $10 in my opinion, not $15, the packaging is what you pay for really, and the packaging on this is dissapointing. Overall I give this product a 3, the product itself is good, do I know if it actually helps build a tan? No, because this is my first day of using it. The product itself is good, just the packaging quality blows.
I would not buy this again.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I joined this site simply to try to find out how to use this product. I keep turning the base and using the brush but it doesn't seem to be applying anything to my face. I applied it to a white piece of paper and I can see tiny puffs of powder if I really abuse the brush, but that's about it. I was going for shimmer, so the previous review is helpful to me, if only I could figure out how to use the thing.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For $18.99, this was just mediocre to me. I really like the Self-tanning Bronzing Veil from this line, but this bronzing powder one is not one of the best in its class for me. The product is dispensed as a powder through a brush by twisting the base. I must have played with the brush for 10 minutes to try to get it to stop shedding bristles. I got out the scissors and cut some off that were like an inch longer than the rest, and others are still raining all over my face, counter, shirt and laptop keyboard as I write this. The brush really is out of control. I have a Peter Thomas Roth mineral powder dispensed in the same type package that doesn't have these issues; I guess you get what you pay for.
I'm an NW15 (on the pink side) and purchased the Fair to Light in both products. While the Bronzing Veil worked very well on me, this product registered more shimmer than color. To me, for a powder bronzer, it should be the opposite. Up close, you can see lots of shimmer and little color. From far away, you don't really see either. I'll bail on trying a darker formula since I'm sure it'll be just as shimmery - tad too much for me. I'd skip this one and just stay with the Bronzing Veil. I have the Nars Madly blush that works better for bronzing.

Stating the Obvious
Posted on November 12, 2012 | 4 Comments
Too often do sports fans pretend they know more than the coaches and general managers of the teams they follow. They pretend that they know more than guys who have been in and around the game for a lifetime and forgotten more about the sport than the average fan will ever know.
In truth, there's a reason that those coaches and general managers have the jobs they do and the fans have to pay money to come see the games.
In general, fans are far too impatient, too little informed, fail to see the big picture and simply don't have the basketball acumen of those they criticize.
That's why I've always been hesitant to criticize coaches. They have a tough job and tend to make decisions that most fans simply don't understand. Fans see something on the court not working and immediately want the coach to stop it, perhaps not realizing that what they're doing is laying the groundwork for later in the season and the playoffs.
Of course, sometimes they are wrong.
When I heard that the Lakers coach, Mike Brown, wanted to run the Princeton offense I thought he was nuts. It made absolutely no sense. It's not that I have anything against the Princeton offense. I think it's a great offense under the right circumstances and with the right personnel. It would be great for a team like Golden State, that doesn't have a pure PG and has good passers at several of the positions. For the Lakers, who signed the best passing PG in the league in the offseason, it made absolutely no sense. All installing the Princeton offense would do is take the ball out of the hands of the best passer in the NBA and move him off the ball, turning him into more of a shooter than a passer. While he's certainly a great shooter, his greatest strength is making those around him better.
The other important aspect of the Princeton offense is having a great passing post player. That does describe Pau Gasol, but not Dwight Howard, who, for all his strengths, is not a good passer.
It also allows less talented teams to compete with more talented teams. While only Dwight Howard is in his prime, I don't think anyone would describe the Lakers as one of the less talented teams in the league.
This is one of those decisions that really makes you wonder whether these people in charge really know what they're doing. Perhaps those fans might have a point, after all.
Before the Lakers even played a regular season game, my friend and I bet that Brown wouldn't last until Christmas. Christmas came a little early for Laker fans.
So next comes the replacement candidates.
Phil Jackson was the first surprise. After Jim Buss basically tried to sweep all the remnants of Phil Jackson after he left, Buss looks like he has either lost influence or realized he was wrong.
While Jackson might seem like the perfect choice, there are a couple of problems. The first is that this will be his third time around with Kobe and the Lakers. He's 67 and has struggled with health problems during the grinding 82+ game schedule. You have to wonder whether his heart will be in this one, and whether his body will hold up.
Waiting in the wings, in case Jackson decides to turn down the job, are Mike D'Antoni and Mike Dunleavy. Both puzzling choices.
On the outside, D'Antoni might seem like a great choice. He helped coach Nash to two MVPs and Phoenix to two Conference Finals, coached Howard on team USA and even played and coached in Italy, where Kobe Bryant spent much of his youth.
He'd certainly infuse the Lakers' offense and improve their regular season record. Unfortunately, he's never been one to emphasis offense, which might explain why he's had more regular season success than playoff success.
Mike Dunleavy is also a puzzling choice. His NBA coaching record has not been all that impressive, but what makes his choice more puzzling is his stint as the Clippers coach, which saw him lose a power struggle and left the organization in tatters. Of his 7 seasons as head coach of the Clippers, his team made the playoffs just once, despite having some decent talent.
There s a coach who is apparently interested that would make far more sense than any of the candidates. He's got a stellar record as head coach and took his team to the Finals twice. He's coached a Hall of Fame PG and big man successfully. He'd get immediate respect of not only the players, but the media and fans, and he's apparently interested in the job.
And Jerry Sloan deserves another shot at a ring more than anyone. Especially after what happened to him in Utah.

can you talk about the raptors please? I always enjoyed your take on them….
I would like to hear your take on
1) Casey's coaching abilities on offense, more precisely in late game situations.
2) Bargnani…. as a 6th man.
3) JV's limited playing time. -
http://www.wearingfilm.com/picketfence/ Tim W.
My next post is going to be solely about the Raptors. Sometimes I do like to talk about other goings on in the NBA, though.
http://www.wearingfilm.com/picketfence/ Tim W.
A lot of this is going to be in my next post. So stay tuned….

text: Theater department presents lighthearted play this weekend By Judy Truesdell Staff Writer Theater students from Wylie High School will take to the stage at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29 through Saturday, Oct. 31 with their production of "Is He Dead?" a "lost work" of Mark Twain. According to director Brendan Kelley, they'll be making history; although the play was performed on Broadway in 2007, this will be only the second time the play has been performed in Texas. The play involves a real-life painter, Jean-Francois Millet (played by Tony Hartu), who is struggling financially, and whose love interest is about to marry Millet's archrival. The ringleader of Millet's close-knit group of friends hatches a plot: Millet will pretend to die, will "come back" as his widowed sister, and paint under a different identity. When he is assumed to be dead, the price of his paintings will skyrocket. Although the story is, according to Kelley, completely fictional, it does represent a time in Twain's life when he was in dire straits similar to his lead character. According to Shelley Fisher Fishkin of Stanford University, Twain wrote the script at the end of a dark period of his life. For financial reasons, he had been forced to give up his home in the U.S. and embark on a worldwide lecture tour to pay his creditors. While he was abroad, his youngest daughter died suddenly. This play, described by Fishkin as a "hilarious, over-the-top comedy," marks Twain's escape from the gloom that had enveloped him and demonstrates his ability to transform "death and debt" into the raw material for a comedic play. According to Kelley, Twain was also drawn to Millet's work because of Millet's custom of painting peasants and working-class people and treating them with "majesty and reverence normally reserved for kings and queens." Twain and Millet both had deep affection for the "common folk," Kelley's summary said. WHS cast members are Freddy Anderson, Liz Atwater, Lena Chesnut, Alexis David, Joe Dodd, Madilynn Garcia, Andrew Harris, Ashly Jonason, Ian Maryfield, Aaron Olabarrieta, Xandrea Rhodes, Ashley Spear and Braedon Taylor. The WHS art department will join in the celebration of art and "common folk." Before the show and during intermission, art teacher Susan West's students will exhibit paintings that were inspired by Millet's subjects. "The paintings aren't in Millet's style, but they reflect his philosophy," Kelley said. Admission is $7 for adults and $5 for children and senior citizens. To reserve tickets, visit the WHS Web page, click on Fine Arts, and then click on the Theatre Arts link.

Ten acts that helped make hip-hop more accessible to mainstream audiences
1. Snoop Dogg and the Dogg Pound
It only takes one listen of "Murder Was the Case" to realize that Snoop Dogg has seen some serious shit, but it wasn't those types of songs that brought Snoop Dogg to the mainstream. Everybody wants to have that tough as nails friend that gives them a little bit of an edge by association, and Snoop Dogg was that for millions of people. With lighthearted joints like "Gin and Juice" and "Drop it Like it's Hot," which transcended multiple generations, Snoop was relatable to anybody looking to have a good, if slightly irresponsible time.

Quoted from Tina Can anyone direct me to a safe appetitie suppressant? I just would like to try something because no matter how hard I try, it seems I am still eating too much, healthily I must say, but still just too much and it is so hard to scale back for me. I can do it, but I have to think about it constantly.
Quoted from outdoordrea I just reread this first posting and I could have written it about myself! I'm still having a problem with portion control and feeling satiated, even when eating mainly beneficials, so I'm thinking if there were some form of appetite suppressant out there for A secretors, I'd like to know about it. Tyrosine and Glutamine were mentioned on another thread. Would they work for me?
Quoted from ironwood55 In the old message board it was discussed several times that glutamine caused an increase in cortisol for type A and therefore may not be wise. Maybe it is OK in the smaller 200-500mg twice daily amounts for type A, versus the 500mg when needed for type Os.I wasn't trying to say that type As couldn't use tyrosine, for example for stress. Just that it may not work the same way or to the same extent as a type O for appetite suppression, since type Os apparently have a more problematic dopamine system and Dr. D had said that dopamine is very important to the mental stability of type Os. Therefore, I was questioning if tyrosine may not help as much for appetite suppression in a type A as it might in a type O. In the Diabetes book on page 104 it recommends type A with a sweet craving problem using milk thistle for a few weeks and maybe a cup of licorice tea at 10 am and 2 pm.
Quoted from Alia_Vo Hi Susana,I hope what I share may assist you: Perhaps if you try to rethink this way of eating in a manner that is not restrained/rigid/limiting---your problem will be alleviated. I believe the BTD allows us a large framework or parameters to make individual choices on a daily basis. One does not need to be 100% perfect or compliant if that is not one's intent. To successfully work for the long run, one has to make this lifestyle manageable for them in an approachable sense; every day may be different.Alia
Quoted from outdoordrea I'm just looking for a way to curb my appetite.
Quoted from outdoordrea That's exactly what I'm looking for, something for A's that will cut my appetite.
Quoted from ironwood55 Have you tried snacking on seaweed?

Posted on behalf of Nick Johnston, Senior Software Engineer, Symantec.cloud
As 419 or advance fee fraud scammers have demonstrated in recent days and weeks, they are particularly adept at using current events to their advantage. We've covered how scammers have also used Egypt's recent revolution to try to get money from their victims.
I recently identified a 419 scam message trying to take advantage of the unrest in Libya. It seems that as countries around the world scramble to evacuate their citizens from the deteriorating situation in the country, 419 scammers are also rushing to send out messages to capitalise on the unrest and publicity.
The scam message claims to be written by someone connected to Libya's Senussi crown (overthrown by Muammar al-Gaddafi in his 1969 coup d'état). The scam follows a fairly normal form: the scammer claims to want assistance in transferring his money out of the country, and is prepared to pay for help. The scammer alludes to his involvement in the oil business, possibly thinking that this will entice people to reply to get a share of the wealth. Of course, the scammer will demand ever-inventive upfront fees and charges, and never send any money.
Example of 419 seeking to exploit Libyan unrest
Further analysis revealed that although the message was sent through a large webmail provider, it was sent from an IP address located in Ghana.

Currently in the final stages of our design phase. Was hoping to get people's opinions/experiences with DaVinci synthetic slate and GAF Camelot II roofs. I had convinced myself of the synthetic slate, but now second guessing whether it is worth the substantial extra cost. Our build is a French Country type of look but we are not fans of cedar shake. Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Our house is under construction and we went with Camelot II. I like them, but they are an asphalt shingle and will never be confused for slate. We looked at Da Vinci, but they were expensive and can - sometimes - look a little "plasticky". I'll take a few photos and post them for you. |
Thanks! I'm interested to see the photos. Not getting many replies about the DaVincis and not much on the forum about them so I'm guessing they're not that popular on this site. |
- Posted by AnnieDeighnaugh (My Page) on Fri, Apr 12, 13 at 9:48
I too considered the da vincis, but paled at the cost...we went with camelot and I think it looks a lot warmer. We also have solar panels attached to our roof and I think the asphalt was easier to deal with in that regard. |
Thanks AnnieDeighnaugh. Your house in gorgeous! If you don't mind me asking what color blend Camelot is that and what type of stone on your house? I'm starting to lean away from the DaVinci's. Also been looking at the GAF Slateline. |

Thanks, renton123...I think you can find your answers by scanning this thread.... |

This is "Antique Slate" in the Camelot II. Please ignore the construction site mess; it's very much a work in progress. |

Nautilus (file browser) can browse the network for Windows shares and lets you click into them, authenticating as you go. That's pretty much analogous to how a mount of USB mass storage works.
You don't say anything about what distro you're running or what desktop manager (Gnome, KDE, etc), so hard to say much more.

Today, a feature in the Philadelphia Daily News ran on our organization and expansion, featuring members from our Ready, Willing and Able team.
He'd had only two hours of sleep, but it didn't matter: Ranald Lindsey woke up at 5 a.m. to run.
In nine months, he'd gone from living in a homeless shelter to having his own apartment; from being unemployed to having a job as a cook; from huffing through a mile jog to completing a half-marathon.
And it all started, he said, because he runs.
"It opens my mind and makes me conscious of what I need to do," said Lindsey, 35. "Anybody can do it. It just takes that first step." Read the rest here.

Another gardening friend recently relocated from Cali to just south of me - where her family is. In our more recent conversations I discovered that we were both seeking Horseradish to establish this year (she's in the process of buying a new home now and has oodles of space to work with, as do I). I'm trying to find out though if there is a particular type or cultivar that does better in our area than other types. Does anyone grow horseradish that could opine?
I haven't found any available locally yet, neither has she, so I'm also on the lookout for any that someone might have available for trade or postage costs. Would be great to land some that was already proven for the area. |
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not sure if this information will be helpful, but below is a list containing some different types of Armoracia rusticana and information about them that I found on the web. There seems to be a lot of confusion about different types and contradictory information seems somewhat common. 'Big Top'- Vigorous and resistant to rust, bacteria spot, and some foliage diseases. 'Bohemian'- Hardy and easy to grow. Smooth good quality roots somewhat smaller than 'Common'. Susceptible to virus with some white rust tolerance. 'Bohemian Giant'- Hardy and easy to grow with large superior quality white roots. Susceptible to virus with some white rust tolerance. 'Maliner Kren'- Improved Bohemian type. Vigorous grower with large white roots. Earlier, larger, and whiter than standard types. Old plants tend to get woody. 'Swiss'- commercial strain of Bohemian type. 'Sass'- commercial strain of Bohemian type. 'Common'- Broad, crinkle-leaf variety. Susceptible to virus and white rust diseases. 'Hybrid'- Superior disease resistance, smoother roots, and larger yields. 'Variegata'- Less invasive with variegated leaves. Tolerates partial shade. |
- Posted by hermitonthehill 7a/b (My Page) on Wed, Feb 7, 07 at 21:21
I ran into oodles of that contradictory info too. I'm still trying to figure out how they got hybrids if the seeds of horseradish never mature - unless they are genetically engineered? Burpee's has the Maliner Kren on their site and I *think* cites it as an heirloom... I found some sites with the variegated, which I am very interested in (because I'm a sucker for variegated plants) though I'd be happy with with "common"... I'm hoping that this one place will reply soon with my questions about their variegated (and some other plants and availability) and I'll be able to scrape up enough for a minimum order $/amount plus the flat rate shipping... they only have the variegated unfortunately. It would be easier if they had that and another type. I've been scouting produce sections for fresh roots as I know those can be planted... nothing so far, and neither am I finding it in the gardening sections even though many seeds and other things, like asparagus, etc. - are already in stock. I'm afraid it might be such a low-seller that I won't have a choice but to order unless someone else has some I can get some sets from. |

SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) - Keith Shamburger scored 13 of his 21 points in the two overtimes to lead San Jose State to its first conference victory, beating Fresno State 79-71 Thursday night.
Wil Carter scored a career-high 23 points to go with 12 rebounds for the Spartans (8-16, 1-8 in the WAC), who ended a three-game slide.
Kevin Olekaibe scored 21 points for the Bulldogs (11-15, 3-7 WAC), who lost their sixth straight on the road and fourth in six games overall. Jonathan Wills added 16 points.
Shamburger hit a 3-pointer from the top of the key with seven seconds left in the first overtime for the tie game.
Jerry Brown, who finished with 10 points and 13 rebounds before fouling out with 3:05 left in the extra period, was instrumental in giving the Bulldogs a chance to rally from behind. He had four of his five offensive boards during Fresno State's big run.

Documentary "Outsourced: Clinical Trials Overseas"
April 9, 2013 | 08:00 PM to 10:00 PM
The Health Professionals Club (HPC) is hosting a screening of a documentary series, Fault Lines, called "Outsourced: Clinical trials overseas". As US pharmaceutical companies have move their operations abroad in recent years, India has become a testing ground for trial medicines. This presents ethical issues within the realm of public health, policy, and economics. For example, what role is the US regulatory bodies playing in overseeing drug trials? Are participants aware they are taking part in clinical trials and is the testing being held up against international ethical standards? How do Christian standards apply to complex systems such as this within public health? Join us for the short documentary and panel discussion with Houghton professors from various disciplines. There will be time for Q and A. (Alternative Chapel credit is pending).

With deep house overtones and classic garage sounds sprinkled throughout, it shouldn't be surprising that they also managed to include a touch of footwork and tech house into this eclectic EP with the addition of remixes from the undeniable Andrew Sinclair as well as Druthers & Drips.
Word Up
You can't get more classic of a garage sound than what "Word Up" brings to the table. It's difficult to find producers in the states who pump a garage style that feels as untouched and raw as this tune, but Chromatic swings for the the fences on this one and puts you right back in the dark London club this style was born in as if you never left.
Full Circle
Chromatic doesn't miss a metaphorical beat as the EP moves seamlessly into "Word Up"'s deeper cousin and EP title track "Full Circle." As the name may suggest, expect a bigger jam with etherial breaks complimented by booty shaking drum kits and vibrating bass loops.
I'm sure that track three on the Full Circle EP may have been my take-away sneaky winner. See, after listening to this album for about a week, and being a big garage fan, I listened to "Word Up" like it was my j-o-b. It's tough sometimes for me to relinquish what I initially find to be the winner on an EP and experience the rest of the sounds that it has to offer, but I'm glad I did for this one. [Ed. Note: Think 2wice has given this tune away for free!]
Full Circle (Andrew Sinclair Remix)
Sinclair interpretation kicks Full Circle into second gear with a touch of old school raviness complimented by the deeper vibes that seem to string the sounds on this album together so effortlessly. Sinclair is news to me, but definitely on my radar with this remix.
Word Up (Druthers & Drips Remix)
The addition of a footwork remix on the tail end of this EP is a pleasant one. As if to say, "don't sleep on this release," the tempo kicks at the end for a great finish by the boys of D&D.

It was another fight to the finish in Williamsburg, Va. at the Kingsmill Championship, as Cristie Kerr outlasted Suzann Pettersen in a two-hole sudden death playoff for her 16th career victory. Kerr sank a two-foot par putt on the 18th hole to clinch the win and break into the winner's circle for the third time at Kingsmill. Kerr, who shot a 2-under 69 in the final round, said she grinded out in regulation and felt lucky to even be in contention.
"I'm just so thrilled. Honestly, the way I hit it today to even have a chance to win," said Kerr. "I just made so many putts out there to save par and kind of save any momentum, and I started hitting it a little bit better late in the round just in time to make a ‑‑ catch up a couple shots. Yeah, really hard fought, really hard fought. I'm very happy."
Kerr and Pettersen went head-to-head the entire final round that saw two ties and two lead changes throughout. Pettersen started two shots off the lead to start the day and got to work early with her first of four birdies on the par 5 3rd hole to reach within one stroke. Kerr found herself in some trouble on No. 5 and dropped her first of two shots of the day, providing the first tie for the lead with Pettersen at 9-under par.
Kerr made her first birdie of the day on the par 5 7th hole to reclaim the lead and made the turn up one shot at 10-under. The duo would exchange birdies on No. 12 before a two-shot swing came at the 14th hole, where Kerr carded her second bogey of the round and Pettersen with her third birdie of the day.
Kerr failed to convert on an eagle putt on the 15th and tapped in for birdie but Pettersen responded with her own three-foot birdie putt to maintain the lead. Kerr carded her fourth and final birdie of the day on the 16th hole to tie the lead again at 12-under. Both players failed to convert on birdie chances on the final two holes in regulation and brought a wave of deja-vu to the large crowds at Kingsmill Resort when they returned to the 18th hole for a sudden-death playoff.
Kerr missed a six-foot birdie putt on the first playoff hole to win, but said the hiccup did not disturb her in the least bit.
"My confidence? It didn't shake my confidence," said Kerr. "I probably made 12 15‑footers today. Missing one is probably law of averages. It didn't really shake my confidence. I was kind of disappointed that I wasn't able to just close it outright there because it was getting really cold and the monumental nine‑hole playoff between Paula and Jiyai last year, I didn't want that to happen, So it was good to get another chance. I absolutely roasted my tee shot the second playoff hole and hit a fairly good iron in there, maybe just blocked it a little bit, but she kind of stumbled a little bit and that's what you need to win a playoff."
On the second playoff hole, Pettersen's third shot from the back left fringe of the green failed to get the roll she was looking for and left her about 12 feet of work to save par. She failed to convert and dropped her first shot of the entire day, setting Kerr up to close out. Kerr sealed the deal with a two-foot par putt to earn her 16th career victory and improved her career playoff record to 3-2. She said the win was special because of the way she rallied toward the end of the round and kept her mental game intact.
"Yeah, it definitely makes it really sweet because I definitely didn't have the swing today until the end of the round," said Kerr. "Just couldn't stay centered, just moving a little quick, a little quick with my transition, maybe a little extra adrenaline been in the final round. That's happened before. When you're hitting it really well and like Suzann was, it's getting a lot of birdie opportunities, so when you have to make a lot of those par‑saving putts, it's do or die, whatever it takes.
"I've won all sorts of different ways and this is definitely one of the sweeter ones because I didn't have the A game today and my mental game, you know, kept me in there and kept the momentum kind of going in the right direction and I just hung around until, you know, I could find a better swing and start hitting it a little better coming in."
Seventeen year old Ariya Jutanugarn finished out her week on a strong note, carding one of the low rounds of the day of 5-under 66. The Thailand native carded six birdies, five coming on the back nine, and one bogey which moved her into a tie for third with Ilhee Lee. Rolex Rankings No. 2 Stacy Lewis shot 1-under 70 and finished at 9-under in a tie for fifth with playing partner Angela Stanford (-2). Rolex Rankings No. 1 Inbee Park trailed the duo in seventh place after a nice 4-under 67 in the final round.

SURAT : In yet another measure to tackle the rush at the regional transport office (RTO), the authorities have decided to start the online application service for those wanting to apply for the learning license.
Official sources said the transport office at Majura Gate remains chock-a-block throughout all the working days as more than 300 applicants throng the office for submitting the application for the learning license.
In order to ease the crowd at the transport office and to lessen the work burden on the officials, the authorities have decided to launch an application for the online submission of applications for learning license.
Sources said the applicant would require to submit the application for learning license online and that he or she would be allotted the time and date for the physical presence at the transport office. The transport office is also planning to limit the number of applicants seeking learning license to 150-200 per day.
"The trial run for online application is already going on and that the service is likely to be launched in the next few days" said an RTO officer.

Remote Equipment Reset Without an IP Connection
We've all had experience with a piece of equipment that ceases to function. In the past, this meant a trip to the mountain, perhaps to merely power cycle the offending unit. More than once, I've had to reboot a digital receiver that sounded like an engine running at 2500 RPM.
Power strips have been developed that allow power cycling of individual outlets via an Ethernet connection. But what do you do when an IP connection is not available?
Many remote control units use either a control tone or a DTMF code to activate relays at the remote site. The units I've worked with specifically warn against switching 120Vac through the on-board relays mainly due to the danger of exposed line voltage at the connection points. This then requires the use of an external relay (in an enclosure) and a power supply to drive it.
This outlines how to construct a simple self-contained remote control relay interface that will allow you to remotely power cycle your recalcitrant equipment with an external relay closure of less than 20Vac at 35mA.
The unit is a dual reset box with two sets of transformers and relays. The shorting link on the hot side of the duplex outlet was removed to allow the two outlets to operate independently. The tab on the neutral side was left in place. If only one reset is desired, omit the second transformer and relay.
The operation of the reset box relies on the fact that the impedance of the primary winding of an unloaded transformer is very high. This is especially true for current-limited doorbell transformers that are meant to be energized 24/7/365. An added advantage of the doorbell transformer is that it is UL listed.
The theory of operation is simple: The primary of the doorbell transformer is wired in series with the relay coil. The tiny bit of current flowing in this circuit is not enough to pull in the relay. If the transformer secondary is shorted (say through your remote control) the impedance drop is reflected in the transformer's primary and the relay closes. An outlet mounted in the box is wired so the power to the outlet is interrupted by the normally closed contacts of the relay when activated.
When the short is removed on the secondary, the primary impedance rises and the relay drops out. A 10kΩ shunt resistor across the relay coil will insure that the relay will drop out once the short on the secondary is removed. The dissipation in this resistor should be less than 1W, but the use of a 2W resistor would cover the unlikely occurrence of the relay coil going open.
Construction is fairly straightforward. Most importantly, build this reset box in a tall 4 x 4 box. The use of a raised cover to mount the duplex outlet will allow extra clearance for the relays and wiring below. The doorbell transformers will mount directly into 1/2" knockouts on the box. Plan ahead so that the correct size knockouts are where you want them. Be sure that all of the green wires are bonded to the box. The NEC requires the duplex outlet to be grounded to the box with a jumper. Securely attach the relays to the box somewhere off to the side. I used a quick-setting epoxy for this purpose. Connect the source black wire to the normally closed contact on each relay. Connect the wiper contact of each relay to its respective outlet. This will remove the source ac from the outlet without it appearing on the unused normally open contact. It's a small point, but it might prevent an unexpected short. The only other weird thing about the wiring is that the white leads of the transformers will not be connected to the neutral but will, instead, connect to the hot side of the relay coil.
Parts list:
■ (1 or 2) Radio Shack 275-0217 DPDT relay. Contacts rated 10A
■ (1 or 2) IQ America DT-1610A 16V/10W transformer
■ (1 or 2) 10kΩ resistor 2W
■ 4 x 4 tall electrical box
■ 4 x 4 raised duplex cover plate
■ Duplex outlet
■ Power cord
■ Cable clamp suitable for the power cord used
You may find many of these items in your junk box. Most of us have a few salvaged power cords cluttering up the bench. I happened to have a box of 5W resistors, so I used those. The dual reset box as shown was built for under $50 using transformers bought at a local home center. Much better pricing can be found online.

JEGS Performance Products#555-82360Back-Up Washers |
Available in 3/16" and 1/8" with small or large heads, JEGS Rivets have an aluminum head and steel nail with increased diameter and depth expansion compared to standard rivets. This allows them to fill slightly oversized holes without the use of a back-up washer. Rivets are offered with painted heads or completely raw. They're ideal for aluminum panels common on race cars and enclosed trailers. Made in the USA.
If needed for additional support from behind a panel, 3/16" and 1/8" back-up washers are sold separately.
