just average Just okay. Nothing to complain about, just bland; it is functional. But doubt it is worth the cost. And doubt I would ever buy another one. And it dies a drive very wrinkled.

Folding Tablecloth The tags did not align properly and I thought they were stick on. I ended up using pins to hold the gaping ends together. Adhesive tags at the folds would have been perfect.

Just what I was looking for I have been looking for a table cover for these folding tables for quite some time and was very happy to see them on overstock. I bought two for the 4 ft table and one for the 6 ft table that I already had. They fit perfectly and the price was great for this type of table cover.

It was the best of time, it was the worst of times. School Sucks I say.
Growing up I hated school. I can remember when I was younger, probably in the 2nd grade I had a countdown to how many years left I had to attend school. I could not handle the fact I had 10 more years of school and perhaps college.
I did not enjoy school. I was bored. I often found it difficult and I could not stand the structure of it all. I could not stand the homework. I could not stand being told what to do. Now I was not a rebel, and I didn't misbehave. In fact I lived in fear of authority (cops, teachers, nuns, priests, coaches) for most of my school years [Yes some of that still lingers out of habit].
It's not that I didn't want to learn. I did. It's not that I didn't have the drive or discipline. I did. It's just I wanted more. I day dreamed too often. I stared out the window always wondering how I could apply what I was learning.
I struggled in some classes, and others I excelled at. Most of all I was average though. Did I really care? No I can't say I ever did. If I am measured by that, so be it.
What was I supposed to do, fake it?
I always envied those who made it big or successful on their own. Those who had the street smarts and intelligence to succeed in life. The thought of going to school and all that training to work for someone else was always scary and not too inviting. Yet that's the way of success for the most part in America. Someone smarter than you, hires you because you are smart. You make them money, he gives you a piece of the pie...you have your 2.5 kids and live happily ever after.
I never took teachers (still don't) too seriously as much as I feared them. Not that they weren't qualified, but how could they really teach me when I was just another number? They were just passing along the info over and over. No disrespect to the profession at all. I think it's noble and some of my friends are great teachers. It's the system that bothers me, not the teachers. The government is going to tell me history? The government is going to tell me about U.S. history but omit the truth? Come on.
I learned more out of school and after school then I did in school. Maybe I'm just wired wrong? Maybe I needed a school for my own speed without the structure.
Maybe I just need to grow up. Hey, go learn something.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A widow's peak is a V-shaped point in the hairline in the center of the forehead. Hair growth on the forehead is suppressed in a bilateral pair of periorbital fields. Without a widow's peak, these fields join in the middle of the forehead so as to give a hairline that runs straight across. A widow's peak results when the point of intersection on the forehead of the upper perimeters of these fields is lower than usual.
A widow's peak is a distinct point in the hairline in the centre of the forehead;[1] it is frequently used as an example of a dominant inherited trait,[2] although there appears to be no real evidence of this.[3] There are varying degrees of the peak.[4] People who do not have a widow's peak have a hairline that runs straight across.[4]
The term stems from the belief that hair growing to a point on the forehead – suggestive of the peak of a widow's hood – is an omen of early widowhood.[5] The use of peak in relation to hair dates from 1833.[6] The expression widow's peak dates from 1849.[6] The use of peak may refer to the beak or bill of a headdress, particularly the distinctive hood with a pointed piece in front – a biquoquet[7] – which widows wore as a hood of mourning dating from 1530.[6] Another explanation for the origin of the phrase suggests that it may be related to the mourning caps worn as early as the 16th century. A mourning cap or 'Mary Stuart Cap' is a cap which features a very distinctive triangular fold of cloth in the middle of the forehead, creating an artificial widow's peak. The use of peak referring to a point in the cloth covering the forehead dates to at least 1509 when it appears in Alexander Barclay's The Shyp of Folys:
And ye Jentyl wymen whome this lewde vice doth blynde Lased on the backe: your peakes set a loft.[8]
David W. Smith and M. Michael Cohen hypothesized the widow's peak hairline to be an anomaly[9] that results from a lower-than-usual point of intersection of the bilateral periorbital fields of hair-growth suppression on the forehead.[10] This can occur because the periorbital fields of hair-growth suppression are smaller than usual, or because they are more widely spaced.[10] Wide spacing also explains the association between ocular hypertelorism – that is, the eyes being abnormally far apart – and widow's peak;[10] this was suggested by findings in an unusual case of ocular hypertelorism in which surrounding scalp-hair growth was suppressed by an ectopic (displaced) eye.[9] Widow's peaks are a symptom of Donnai-Barrow syndrome, a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the LRP2 gene.[11] Other genetic syndromes occasionally associated with widow's peaks include Waardenburg syndrome and Aarskog syndrome.[12]
A study of women conducted by Nusbaum and Fuentefria in 2009 found that 81% had a widow's peak,[13] but it is unclear what their criteria were in this study;[3] Smith and Cohen's 1973 study on male medical students found that only 3% had widow's peaks,[9] suggesting either high variation between genders or scholarly disagreement over what constitutes a widow's peak.[3]
A number of fictional people have a widow's peak.[14] In film this trait is often associated with a villain or antagonist;[15] Count Dracula is an example. Eddie Munster – from the television program "The Munsters" – also had this distinctive hairline.[14] Another villain depicted as having widow's peak hair is The Joker from "Batman" comic books and films. Vegeta from the Dragon Ball franchise is known for his widow's peak.[14] Hannibal Lecter is described as having one in the novels that feature his story. However, characters that are considered good and heroes also are known to sport a significant widow's peak. Superman is the best known superhero example of it, although in his real identity he disguises it with a curl to cover any identifying resemblance to his Rockwell like persona, Clark Kent.
A notable fictional protagonist character with this iconic feature is pulp fiction hero Doc Savage,[16] from which the creators of Superman had borrowed many distinctive elements in its creation, included this hair trait.
Notable real life people with natural widow's peaks include actors Leonardo DiCaprio,[17][18] John Travolta,[17] Grace Kelly,[17] Blake Lively,[17][18] Marilyn Monroe,[19] and perhaps the best known of all, Elvis Presley,[20] as well as politicians Paul Ryan,[21][22] Ronald Reagan,[22] and Andrew Jackson.[22]

I'm a budding entrepreneur. I say budding because I've worked on some ideas in the past but with little or no success so far, no success by my standards anyway. I'll continue to do so until something comes to fruition but until I see the fruit, I'll remain budding. One thing that I have noticed though is that a book release to regale the populous of their success and how they achieved it comes part and parcel with becoming a successful entrepreneurs. It's like an outgoing head of state releasing the obligatory biography. So the real question is, if you're a budding entrepreneur, should you start writing the book before you get there? Which one comes first? Isn't writing the book entrepreneurial anyway? Confusing huh?
Maybe I should write a prequel to being a successful entrepreneur called "The Nontrepreneur".

My research interests straddle a number of fields and disciplines, including cultural studies, sociology, feminist and queer theory, and critical race studies. I understand health, sport, and the body to be powerful vehicles for the production of social difference and I use my work to uncover how these vehicles operate and with what effects. The specific issues I have studied include consumer-oriented breast cancer philanthropy http://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/pink-ribbons-inc, representations of HIV/AIDS, and the relationship between queer athletes, commercial sport culture and militarization. Although these topics seem disparate, in each case I have explored how powerful notions of healthy and unhealthy citizenship are produced, consumed, and occasionally resisted.
My book, Pink Ribbons, Inc: Breast Cancer and the Politics of Philanthropy is the subject of an NFB documentary by the same name http://www.nfb.ca/film/pink_ribbons_inc_trailer/. A current CIHR-funded project examines the practice and meaning of painkilling in contemporary Canadian cultures.
Graduate students with an interest in the sociology or cultural studies of health, sport, and the body are encouraged to contact me.
Prospective students are expected to apply to the Ontario Graduate Scholarship programs, SSHRC, CIHR, and other agencies that fund graduate students.

Starring: Jennifer Lopez, Vince Vaughn, Vincent D'Onofrio
Director: Tarsem Singh
Genre: Thriller
Year: 2000
Rating: 2 / 5
The Cell is one of the most breath-taking, visionary videos I have seen in quite some time. Though pundits may disagree, I would argue that it the obvious choice for an MTV Breakthrough Video award. The Cell is not a video, you say? It is actually a movie? Allow me a moment to reconsider. Director Tarsem Singh, still basking in the critical acclaim afforded him by his 1994 video masterpiece, "Losing My Religion," has created an awesome visual spectacle. Unfortunately, this spectacle happens to be encased in a movie that is rather bland and formulaic, not to mention one that features only one redeemable acting performance.
Catherine Deane (Jennifer Lopez, doing her best impersonation of scenery) is a relatively inexperienced psychotherapist, one who specializes in an unusual form of care. It seems that her team of doctors and scientists has constructed a mechanism by which an individual can "travel" into the mind of another. This procedure is designed to help people with severe mental blocks, notably those exhibiting schizophrenic tendencies. Catherine has only attempted the process with one person, a young boy named Edward, and the results have been limited at best. Even more damaging, the project has been given a six-month window to provide results or be dropped.
Enter a team of FBI agents, led by the brooding Peter Novak (Vince Vaughn). It seems that Vaughn and his partner have finally tracked down noted serial killer Carl Stargher, but, moments before an ultimately successful raid, Stargher slips into a coma. Alas, one of Stargher's last conscious acts was to kidnap yet another victim and hide her in a secret lair. The agents are able to deduce that the latest would-be victim has less than forty hours to live, and, since their chief suspect in unconscious, drastic measures are in order. This brings them to Catherine Deane, with a request that she enter the mind of a psychotic killer in order to save a young woman's life.
Are the images in this movie impressive to behold? Certainly. Does Tarsem Singh possess a creativity that defies logic and opens new doors in the mind? Quite possibly. Nonetheless, that alone does not make The Cell a movie - it merely makes for some engrossing eye candy. Jennifer Lopez is utterly wasted, as she merely hops from one lavish costume to another inside the mind of Vincent D'Onofrio's Carl Stargher. Vince Vaughn is equally misused, as his character, who hints at some of his own childhood trauma, is woefully underdeveloped. D'Onofrio is the only actor in this film worth watching, as his character allows him to explore various facets of a fragmented mind. In the end, though, The Cell remains the flowing, artistic expression of one very creative mind - nothing more and nothing less.
Jennifer Lopez.......... | Catherine Deane |
Vince Vaughn.......... | Peter Novak |
Vincent D'Onofrio.......... | Carl Stargher |

Nostalgic but offering something new, The David Patrone Quartet is reminiscent of an era's swanky style that preceded most of our births. Patrone adds a modern panache to the musical compositions that brought America through the '30s, '40s, '50s and '60s. The David Patrone Quartet is the #1 Southern California-based Jazz Quartet featuring David Patrone and specializing in popular Jazz Standards of the 30's, 40's, 50's and 60's. Known for his Rat Pack demeanor and engaging stage presence, David reaches the audience with an attitude and style that garners attention both during and between songs. The David Patrone Quintet presents classic vocal Jazz standards in the style of Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Harry Connick Jr. and others from our "American Songbook". On this album David has band configurations from four musicians up to 10. They transition between swingin' numbers and melancholy ballads that capture the attention of the entire room with straight-ahead good stuff that takes you back to a time when live music was imperative; hats were checked, dames were respected and booze wasn't such a bad word. *** San Diego Music Awards Nominated Best Jazz Album 2003 Winner Best Album Art Tracklisting: 1.

Stand-up comedy is a profession rife with dangers and hostility. When you're on, you're "killing," and when you're having a bad night, you're most likely being heckled or, even worse, ignored. For poor Michael Richards, a man most well-known for his ability to enter a room in extravagant fashion as Kramer on "Seinfeld," stand-up comedy is a place to go to watch your career slowly pass away; or, you know, a place to go to feed your inner-racist.
At this stage, celebrities, or ex-celebrities, gone mad is nothing new. We might as well create a ranking system similar to the United States Terror Alert. If you've been out partying you might be "Lohan'ing it up" or if you're busted with a DUI and insult a religion, you're "working your inner-Gibson." Thanks to recent events with Michael Richards, we can add "having a racist tirade" to the board under "going Kramer crazy."
The Racist Tirade Seen Around the Internet
This is where it started. Michael Richards is having a poor night at the mic at Hollywood's Laugh Factory when he decides to focus on some hecklers in the audience. After showing off his amazing Racist Rain Man counting skills (50 years ago would've been pre-Civil Rights movement, fork up your ass or no), Richards started shouting "nigger" and pointing fingers.
No, Richards is not a rap artist a la Eminem, and if he was, there was no break-beat or other indication that he was busting out his new tune "Hung Upside Down (Wit a Fork in Yo Ass)." And no, he was not giving an educational lesson about the word "nigger." He was simply having a nervous breakdown, brought upon by years of post-"Seinfeld" mediocrity and marginalization that just so happened to come to a head when, even at his own comedy show, folks didn't care enough about him to shut up. The only thing he did was start a joke with no punchline.
The Joke Continues on Letterman
A couple nights later, Jerry Seinfeld convinced David Letterman to let him come on and apologize to the world at large for his videotaped meltdown. All TV awkwardness aside, when apologizing to the "African-American" community it's probably not a good idea to lead by apologizing to the "Afro-American" community. Anyway, Richards seemed genuinely hurt and apologetic, but he seemed convinced that he wasn't really a racist. And then another video from that evening surfaced, showing that this Seinfeld-Letterman deal was more than just a friend helping a friend…
Seinfeld In The House
Seinfeld was there! He saw the whole thing in person! Sure, he bolted as soon as he could, but of course he had to speak out and try and help Michael make amends, lest he be connected to the hatred. Inviting Michael on Letterman wasn't about an apology, it was about saving face… and selling "Seinfeld: Season 7″ DVDs. And it gets worse.
B-Roll from "UHF"
Michael's comments about not being racist took a hit again when the following b-roll from his role in "UHF" hit the internet. Clearly showing that he had no problem with the N-word in the past, the video also shows an eerie similarity to the tirade on the Laugh Factory, making one wonder: is this a mistake, or a scripted jab for attention?
Bring Forth the Spin Doctor
Since the apology just brought more scutiny, Michael hired a publicist, someone who specializes in crisis management, to help him pull himself from the fire. The first thing that happened? Michael sought to talk to Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson so he could further his apology. His new legal team also suggested they create a video showing that Michael does feel bad about what he said, and how on the inside, we're all the same color.
Blind, Black-Face Richards
Unfortunately, Michael's video backfires…
High School Teacher Speaks Out
The next step was to find a way to academically prove that Richards was not a racist, perhaps by showing that he didn't say "nigger" but instead "nigga." The preceding video was shown to help illustrate said point. This, too, backfired.
So Here We Are…
It's been almost two weeks since Michael Richards went crazy at the Laugh Factory and revived his career, albeit this time his racist career, and not much else has occurred. The guys Richards insulted in the club have come forward, demanding an apology… and money. Richards has agreed to the former point, not so much the latter. (How do you monetize racial slurs anyway?) But what does it all mean!?!
Face it, life is long and there's more than enough opportunity to put your foot in your mouth and say things that you both mean and do not mean. Is Michael Richards a racist? On a subconscious level, one could just say he's full of hatred for some reason or another. The racist claim comes not so much from the usage of the racial slurs as it does that his mind went there first. People get irrationally angry with each other all the time, but not everyone caps their anger with racist dialogue. So, in that respect, Michael is a racist. And he's also getting more press than he has since "Seinfeld" got cancelled, so let's call him an opportunistic racist too.
The above is more satire than fact, with the obvious factual information being linked to and the more fantastical leaps of imagination being illustrated with poorly edited YouTube clips… except those first two, which were all Michael Richards being Michael Richards…

Congratulations to AMS for being the first to officially break the 10 second barrier with a 4Matic M157 AMG V8 powered vehicles. AMS ran a pair of 10 second passes showing the consistency of their 4Matic upgrades. As a reminder, AMS released their E63 AMG 4Matic ECU tuning earlier this year. They also provided a nice dynograph comparison of the 2014 E63 AMG 4Matic and the E63 AMG S 4Matic on the dyno stock and tuned.
The full details are below in @ALPHA Performance's own words:
On June 26th we took our 2014 Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG 4Matic to Great Lakes Dragway for some preliminary testing of the Alpha 7 upgrade package. Track conditions were not ideal with the temperature somewhat pleasant in the 60s but accompanied by 100% humidity. When the track lights switched on at dusk you could see the moisture in the air!
Our AMG was equipped with only our Alpha Tune and prototype Alpha Downpipes and Cat-Back Exhaust. The full Alpha 7 Bi-Turbo upgrade will include an Alpha Boost Cooler Kit in the future but we were eager to see the results of just a tune and exhaust. Rolling on 20 Vorsteiner wheels and Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires we were hopeful for a very low 11 second run, but ended up with the first E63 4Matic in the 10s!
First pass of the night Paul staged the car, applied the brakes and gave it a bit of throttle, the launch was undramatic, smooth with no tire spin. When the board lit up we were a bit surprised, 10.850 @ 129.31 MPH, setting a new AMG 4Matic record! After letting the car cool down we staged it for another run, the car launched exactly the same as the first pass, hard with no drama and lit the board up with a 10.879 @ 129.21 MPH. Talk about consistency!
Overall we are very pleased with the results from the nights testing. Once the M157 Alpha Boost Cooler Kit and Carbon Fiber Intake System are complete we will bring the car back to the track for another round of testing and hopefully hit 130+mph trap along with a mid-low 10 second pass!

Nice, but you were not the first to hit these times and speeds with a 4matic ...
I saw the RENNtech E63S doing 10.8X s and trapping approx. 132mph @ Moscow UNLIM500+ (which is a non "glued" / non professional 1/4 mile track) last month... and ambient was 81-86°F during the event.

If you can't produce a timeslip, it doesn't count.
@Unlim events they use race america timing systems and meanwhile you can check "timeslips" on dragtimes.ru and filter by make e.g. ... http://www.dragtimes.ru/en/results/allresults ...
PP-Performance ran a 10.8 as well about a month ago with thier 4 matic E63. I'll try to get a timeslip and video for you

I appreciate and there certainly is validity to the data I'm just pointing out quarter mile records, at least on this network, will always be required to be made on NHRA sanctioned drag strips for the purpose of having a set standard.
To get around this in areas where this is not available I'm going to provide my own set acceleration standards shortly.

Assemble Furniture
Until you're doing well enough to commission custom pieces of furniture from local artisans, odds are most new pieces you buy will come from big-box stores and require assembly. Rather than paying extra for the store crew to do it for you, suck it up and put it together yourself. It's really more tedious than it is difficult and a good cordless drill goes a long way. Take stock of all your loose pieces, and read the directions all the way through before you begin. Most importantly, make sure you have plenty of space nearish to where you intend the piece to end up -- you don't want to lug a completed sideboard/hutch combo but so far.

GPA rounding and presentation on resume
COI'm looking for some advice on how to present my GPA on my resume for next year's recruiting cycle.
After this semester, my overall GPA is 3.651, my Economics major GPA is 3.953, and my Psychology major GPA is 3.793.
Here are some of the possibilities I considered:
Overall: 3.7, Econ: 4.0, Psych: 3.8 (Looks the best, but isn't it dishonest to round a 3.953 up to a 4.0? It seems like 4.0 implies only As, no A-s.)
Overall: 3.65, Econ: 3.95, Psych: 3.79 (Honest, but I've heard that 3.7 overall is the cutoff for some places)
Overall: 3.7, Econ: 3.95, Psych: 3.8 (More honest than the first option, but wouldn't it be strange to not round consistently?)
Overall: 3.7, Econ: 3.9, Psych: 3.8 (Fixes the problem of the first option, but it doesn't seem right to round a 3.95 down to a 3.9)
I'm sure you guys will tell me that I'm overthinking this, but I want to make sure that I present my stats in the most favorable way, without being dishonest. Also, if it matters at all, I'm most interested in management consulting positions but will also be applying for trading positions.
How do you think I should present these stats?
If you're trying to keep it
OYou can round the total GPA
HFid put 2 decimals for all.
Oid put 2 decimals for all. never heard of a shop with a 3.7 cutoff

Users range from Boston to Boise, federal agencies to private planning firms, and housing counselors to streetcar advocates. The list below provides an overview of how and where Index data are being used.
H+T data is used in trend analysis, goal setting, performance measurement, scenario evaluation, competitive award processes, site selection, and housing counseling services. For inquiries about using H+T Index data, contact Sofia Becker at sbecker at cnt dot org.
CNT also conducts in-depth analyses using H+T data (see sidebar for recent publications). A related tool, Abogo, is a consumer-friendly web resource that lets people type in an address and see how transportation costs impact affordability and sustainability in a neighborhood.
Regional Planning Applications
- Washington, DC (2011): The Washington, DC, Office of Planning collaborated with CNT to customize the H+T Index by incorporating market rate housing costs as well as local land use data and transit network data, and supported the publication of a detailed technical report showing the significance of each variable to the estimated outputs.
- Chicago, IL (2010): To support the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) during its long-range comprehensive planning process, CNT refined the transportation cost model for the Chicago region by including a CMAP-designed proxy for walkability and by using CMAP's 2001 land use files to construct a measure of land use mix and refine the calculation of residential density. CNT's resulting analysis of housing and transportation costs in the Chicago region, Driving: A Hard Bargain.
- Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus, OH (2010): A study funded by Living Cities allowed CNT, in collaboration with the Ohio Governor's office, to use the H+T Index along with other tools to lay out urban revitalization strategies for the state that reduce the household cost of living and identify opportunities for redevelopment in Cincinnati, Cleveland and Columbus.
- San Francisco, CA(2009): The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) commissioned an H+T analysis of the Bay Area to better understand the burden and geographic distribution of housing and transportation costs on lower-income households, and to begin to frame long-term strategies to address regional affordability.

- State of Illinois (2010): The measure of combined housing and transportation affordability was adopted by law, with bipartisan support, as a planning tool for five agencies and as a consideration for those agencies' investment decisions in metro areas; the economic development, transportation and housing agencies can use H+T to screen and prioritize public investments in metro areas, while two financing agencies will recommend the use of the Index for new siting decisions.
- El Paso, TX (2010): The City Council directed the City Manager to use the H+T Index for affordability determinations, to initiate the use of the Index as a tool to benchmark costs, and to adopt a 50% H+T affordability standard for all City funding and policy decisions.
- Chicago, IL (2010): The region's MPO, CMAP, included the H+T Index as a measure in its Go To 2040 regional plan, along with a goal to reduce combined housing and transportation costs for working families to 53 percent of income in 2015 and 45 percent in 2040.
- Mercer County, NJ (2010): Housing and Transportation affordability is a long-range indicator of economic sustainability in the 2010 update of the Mercer Co. Master Plan.

- San Francisco, CA (2009): In its 2035 Plan, the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) set a 10% reduction goal for the cost of housing and transportation among the region's low- and moderate-income residents, and worked with the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) to set a matching goal for the region's Sustainable Communities Strategy.
- Los Angeles, CA (2008): As part of its Compass Blueprint initiative to help redress unsustainable development patterns, the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) commissioned a customized H+T analysis and published case studies on six communities that are working to reduce H+T costs. An "Affordability Index Toolbox" synthesizes results from the case studies and recommends potential policy tools for local planners, and elected officials.
Siting of Affordable Housing
- San Francisco, CA (2011): MTC has publicly credited the establishment of the Bay Area Transit Oriented Affordable Housing (TOAH) Fund in part to the H+T Index, which helped them make the case for tackling the issue of housing and transportation affordability head-on; the TOAH Fund received $10 million in seed capital from MTC, to which other sources added another $40 million.
- State of Illinois (2010): As a result of an H+T analysis of existing multi-family properties undertaken by CNT in collaboration with the Illinois Housing Development Authority, the agency adopted Local Employment Dynamic data from the Census' OnTheMap website as the job access metric in its 2011 QAP and opted to schedule the next QAP revision in one year instead of two.
- Asheville, NC (in progress): In collaboration with the City of Asheville, CNT is using the H+T Index to study the cost implications of historical City investments in affordable housing, the factors that influence the location of affordable housing, and potential incentives to encourage the siting of affordable housing in areas with low transportation costs.
Transportation Planning Applications

- Ann Arbor, MI (2010): A respondent to a 2010 survey of H+T users reported that the Washtenaw Area Transportation Study is using H+T in an effort to expand public transit and link its presence with affordable housing.
Scenario Evaluations
- Washington, DC (2011): The District of Columbia's Office of Planning commissioned a scenario evaluation tool for household transportation costs (developed by CNT) to examine how the development of housing, jobs, and transit would affect the average transportation costs for a neighborhood's residents.
- Chicago, IL (2009-2010): The region's MPO, CMAP, has used the H+T Index to compare how alternative development scenarios would affect future affordability in the seven-county region, which contributed to their selection of a preferred scenario, and will inform agency policies to strategically direct growth and maximize affordability.
Rural Regional Planning
- Fayetteville, AR (2011): To support its work through the Sustainable Cities Institute, the Home Depot Foundation contracted with CNT to develop an H+T analysis to identify the current status of housing, transportation, and job access in the four cities that comprise the northwest Arkansas region, supplemented by extensive interviews of business leaders, elected officials, municipal staff, and local advocate groups.
- Grand Rapids, MI (2010): The Grand Rapids Area Coalition to End Homelessness and Grand Valley State University commissioned an H +T analysis to better understand the status of affordability in Grand Rapids and eight largely rural counties; the resulting custom dataset of transportation costs for households of different sizes and income levels demonstrated the viability of the H+T approach in rural areas.
Homebuyer Counseling
- El Paso, TX (2012): The City of El Paso deployed H+T educational materials for prospective homebuyers within two organizations contracted to deliver housing counseling services for the City.
- Santa Fe, NM (2011): A housing non-profit is using a specially developed H+T training to help prospective homeowners understand and better control transportation costs while saving for a home, and as part of an eventual location decision.
Calculators/Derivative Tools
- Abogo Gas Slider (2011): A supplement to CNT's Abogo tool was developed during the Spring 2011 gas price spikes to help consumers check how gas prices at different levels would impact their costs, assuming no change in their transportation behavior; a link at the bottom of the page sends the user to a set of suggestions for reducing one's transportation costs.
- Abogo (2010): To support the use of H+T data in everyday decision-making by the general public, CNT developed a consumer-oriented application of H+T data called Abogo, which allows users to look up estimated transportation costs in a neighborhood simply by entering an address.
- DC, Bay Area and Boston Calculators (2009/2010): The Terwilliger Center and CHP commissioned H+T cost calculators for three regions to accompany the custom analyses produced simultaneously for each. The calculator tools allow individuals to estimate their combined housing and transportation costs in these regions using their own input parameters, see how changes to those parameters can impact expenses, and view the characteristics of urban form that explain the variation in transportation expenses across locations.
Affordability Awareness
- Austin, TX (2011): The City of Austin used maps and data from the H+T Affordability Index in its Draft Community Inventory to illustrate the link between the location of development and the impacts of development.
- St. Louis, MO (2011): The 6th edition of the MPO's Where We Stand report series used H+T affordability as a performance indicator of household income and wealth, and estimated transportation costs as a performance indicator for the region's transportation system, presented in the form of rankings to show how the St Louis region compares to 34 peer regions.
- Arlington County, VA (2011): The government is using the combined cost of housing and transportation as a baseline for tracking the 30-year Columbia Pike Land Use and Housing Study, as well part of its community demographic profiles in this major county of the Washington, DC, metropolitan area.
- San Francisco, CA; Washington, DC; and Boston, MA (2009/2010): To expand awareness of the housing and transportation challenges in three key regions, and to build support for the resources and high-level policy attention needed to effectively address the issues, ULI's Terwilliger Center for Workforce Housing and the Center for Housing Policy collaborated with CNT to produce region-specific analyses of affordability using more recent data to update the underlying variables and cost factors in the Bay Area, Washington, D.C. and Boston.
- San Francisco, CA (2009): Bay Area advocacy organization TransForm sought to build support for more compact, transit-oriented land use patterns by examining the full economic and environmental impact of transportation policies, drawing especially on H+T data to derive a novel neighborhood-based analysis of the potential for CO2 reductions and private savings by improving public transportation.
- State of Florida (2008): The Florida State University Healthy Communities Program and the Florida Department of Health Division of Environmental Health produced four Smart Growth and Public Health Abstracts to help inform decision makers in Florida, one of which uses the H+T Index to illustrate the link between development policies and public health.

May 2010 | Focus: Plastics Tubing
Tubing — the stepchild of plastics shapes! This often ignored plastics shapes is useful for multiple applications in a variety of materials. Find out the most popular materials, and how seven questions can help you find the material that meets your needs. Read more.
Characteristics of common thermoplastic tubing As the name indicates, thermoplastic means it is temperature sensitive. In other words, when at lower temperatures the material gets stiff and contracts, while at higher temperatures it gets soft and expands. Plastic tubing, therefore, can change in ID, OD and length as temperatures increase and decrease. Find out what this can mean for your applications. Read more.
The "STAMP" tubing selection guide When selecting tubing, use the acronym "STAMP" (size, temperature, application, media and pressure) to make the process as simple as possible. Read more.
Tubing selection tips for trouble-free performance It's probably one of the least expensive components in your product. In many cases, it isn't even visible. But if leak-free liquid transfer is part of your design, the tubing you select is critical to overall performance. And if you've selected the wrong type of tubing, you will have problems. Read more for five tips that will help you select the best tubing to meet your needs.
Choosing the right plastic tubing supplier All plastic tubing is not created equal. Finding the right supplier is often one of the most critical steps to ensuring your end-product performance. A good plastic tubing supplier must understand not only their customer's end-use requirement, but the role that their product plays in that application. First and foremost, if your application has high-performance requirements, you want to make sure that your supplier has a broad knowledge of plastic material characteristics. Read more.

Last week Mitt Romney compared the success of Israelis relative to Palestinians to the success the American economy has over its neighbors. Today he pointed to one element of Israeli society – the Kibbutz – as the antithesis of American individualism.
During a fundraiser at a Maggiano's restaurant in Chicago, Romney went on a riff about President Obama's argument that businesses in the U.S. rely on help from society and from the government.
"The other day when the president said that remarkable thing, I couldn't believe he'd actually said it. I was incredulous. I read what the president said was if you have a business you didn't build it, someone else did that. [laughter] He didn't really say that did he? And then I went and read the text and in fact he had said that. And looked on Youtube and saw him saying it. And he says well I was taken out of context, look at the context. It's worse than the quote! [laughter, applause]. I mean he says you know that these people think they're successful, excuse me, these people think they're smart, but there are a lot of people that are smart. Yes. These people think they work hard, but a lot of people work hard. Yes. Where is he going with this? Is there something that's not good about being smart and working hard? Is there not a tribute to be paid to the kid who gets the honor roll because she worked hard or to the guy who gets the promotion because they're smart and worked hard, or to the person who started the business and made it successful and employs people. It is a lack of understanding of how America's economy works at the fundamental, granular level that I think has contributed to the failure of his economic policies."
Then he added a reference to a Kibbutz, which is a Hebrew word for "communal settlement."
"It's individuals and their entrepreneurship which have driven America," said Romney. "What America is, is not a collective where we all work in a Kibbutz or we all in some little entity, instead it's individuals pursuing their dreams and building successful enterprises which employ others and they become inspired as they see what has happened in the place they work and go off and start their own enterprises."
According to the Jewish Virtual Library about 2.5 percent of Israelis live on 250 different Kibbutz, which were begun before the establishment of the state of Israel.
Last week Mitt Romney caught some flack from Palestinians for suggesting that Israelis are more successful than Palestinians because their culture is different. Here's how Emily Friedman reported on it at the time:
At the fundraiser at the King David hotel in Jerusalem, Romney said, "As you come here and you see the GDP per capita, for instance, in Israel which is about $21,000, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice such a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality."
"And that exists also between other countries that are near or next to each other. Chile and Ecuador; Mexico and the United States," Romney added.
Then, mentioning the book "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations," Romney said the author had made the point about culture and how it "makes all the difference."
"And as I come here and I look out over this city this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things."

When I found out I had to come up to Milwaukee for a conference I knew I had to get up here for this cache. It number 27 CAA for me and I really enjoyed the placement. Seeing the stadium in person instead of on the television was pretty neat. Lots of people around but none were paying any attention to me. cache was quickly found, signed, and replaced. A couple of photos of the stadium and then inside for a snack. Thanks for bringing me up here, I'm glad it was only raining as I don't think my Florida blood could handle snow.

Ghana's fishermen struggle as large foreign trawlers scoop up fish along the ocean floor.
Virtually all those Ghanaians are making do with less and less. Moba, a 30-year-old father who kicked off his fishing career at the age of 14, said he used to haul home boatloads worth $70 or $80 a week. Today, the fisherman, who said he has never gone by any name beyond Moba, feeds his family and fuels his boat on a weekly catch worth $15 to $25.
"That one, it no be money," he said.
Moba's dock sits a few minute's walk from Jamestown's central market. But the fresh grouper he reels home are not what's selling at many of the stalls. Much of the fish Ghanaians and West Africans buy at markets like this has come back rejected from trawlers that sort their catches in the islands of Cape Verde, according to Foodspan research.
Well-fed, nutritious fish are selected and shipped to Korea, China and Taiwan. What returns to Africa is often undernourished, old, caked with dying white scales — in fish parlance, bleached.
"This is what we clamor to buy and pay for," Eli said.
In the region's budding democracies, the scarcity of fish has become a salient political issue — swing votes from Ghana's central region, a coastal stretch of fishing villages, tipped the balance in favor of the opposition in last year's elections.
But even in the most accountable countries, it's unclear what West African governments can and are willing to do. In Senegal, the government cracked down on foreign trawlers and installed monitoring systems, after a fishing deal with the European Union turned sour for local fishermen. Fishing is banned in some breeding zones in Mauritania, where fishing accounts for 25 percent of the national GDP.
In virtually every other nation along the coast, however, corruption and loose oversight has limited government control over the seas.
For one, fish authorities know little about what swims below West Africa's waters. Ghana's government hasn't had a research vessel since its last one conked out in the mid-1990s. Most of what Ghana's Agricultural Ministry knows about its ocean comes from the Fridtjof Nansen — a Norwegian research ship that scoots down the coast every few years.
"We are managing something we don't see," said Patricia Markwei, deputy director of Ghana's Marine Fisheries.
Meanwhile, governments here continue to license new vessels. Civil servants like Markwei, and George Hutchful, deputy director at Ghana's Fisheries Commission, as well as outside experts like Eli, all suggest that the licensing process may be compromised by corruption.

Xabi Alonso admits Spain's golden generation have reached the end of an era at the 2014 World Cup.
The reigning world and European champions are destined to leave Brazil at the group stage after suffering humbling defeats to the Netherlands and Chile - conceding seven goals and offering just one in reply.
Sweeping changes are now expected across the board.
Vicente del Bosque admits serious questions are going to be asked about his position, despite having overseen global glory in 2010 and secured a third straight major international honour at Euro 2012.
Senior stars such as Iker Casillas are also considering their future, and Real Madrid midfielder Alonso concedes that something needs to be done to return the 'ambition and hunger' to the Spanish ranks.
He said after a 2-0 reversal against Chile: \"Eras end with defeats and this was a painful defeat.
\"Mentally we weren't ready. Physically, maybe the same is true. Putting that all together we weren't in the best shape. We haven't been able to maintain the same levels of conviction, of hunger.
\"The success, the happiness before, is gone.
\"We made a lot of mistakes. We lost a bit of that know-how and paid for it. We lost the solidity that helped us win so many games.
\"We weren't able to maintain the same ambition and hunger, that real conviction that we were going to go for the title.\"
Alonso's club colleague Casillas, Spain's all-time leading appearance maker, added: \"Today is not the day to start blaming and singling people out and saying whether to change or not to change.
\"There are several of us who are over 30, the coach will make his decisions and we will respect them.
\"I don't know if this was my last game for Spain. We will see. This group did not deserve to go out like this.\"
