Heather Mac Donald has it right ("How to Increase the Crime Rate Nationwide," op-ed June 12). Lawful, intelligent, proactive policing of high-crime areas is a proven way to reduce crime and violence.
In 1989 New York Mayor-elect David Dinkins interviewed me as a finalist for the job of police commissioner. I told Mr. Dinkins that the city's police were so afraid of getting into trouble that they were intimidated from performing their duties to protect the public. I mentioned to him that my experience in the NYPD, as police chief of Kansas City, Mo., and as chief of police in San Jose, Calif., showed that it was possible to reduce crime by obtaining support in minority neighborhoods for proper stopping, questioning and frisking of suspicious individuals. San Jose used these methods and became the safest large city in America.
Mayor Dinkins chose a different path. When he ran for a second term, the voters, fed up with violence, chose Rudolph Giuliani as mayor. Mayor Giuliani had the good sense to hire Bill Bratton as police commissioner. Mr. Bratton relied on stop, question and frisk to obtain the largest reduction of crime in New York City history. Mr. Giuliani easily won a second term.
Ms. Mac Donald demonstrates that mayors who have the fortitude to listen to pleas for help from minority communities, while rejecting false rants of racial profiling, can win re-election and reduce crime. The courts should not interfere with local elected officials' appropriate efforts to make their cities safer.
Joseph D. McNamara
Stanford, Calif.
Former NYC Police Commissioner Bill Bratton never credited racial profiling for the extraordinary results of his department's successful crime fighting. Mr. Bratton always insisted on lawful aggressive policing—and dismissed as junk science notions that the race of the usual suspects was germane to effective policing. He knew that crime has no color—a punk is a punk, no matter his racial group. Recently, even as there have been cutbacks on cops' racial-profiling practices, crime has continued to fall.
Also, the claim that stop and frisk "works" because it recovers weapons is not supported by the NYPD's own statistics. In 2011 alone, there were well over 685,000 stops of mainly young minority (black and Hispanic) males; of those suspects, just over 800 guns were recovered—less than one-tenth of one percent. The pitiable arrest rate of suspects stopped, questioned and frisked is strong evidence that an overwhelming majority of the persons stopped were wholly innocent.
A stop is permissible when a police officer has reasonable suspicion that an individual is engaged in or has committed a crime. However, a frisk is allowed of a suspect only when the police officer also has a reasonable and articulable basis to believe that the person stopped is carrying a weapon. A limited frisk (but not thorough search) is allowed in such situations for the safety of the police officer. When cops instead carry out routine, wide-scale stops and frisks without these factors (and thus outside the boundaries of constitutional standards), the rule of law and our individual liberty are at risk.
Police may not invoke illegal tactics as a strategy for deterring crime or for rounding up the usual minority suspects, even if—as is Ms. Mac Donald's argument—violent crimes are committed mostly by young blacks and Hispanics. Such behavior would destroy community support and also invite widespread lawlessness on the part of the police.
Michael Meyers

Civil Rights Coalition

When disparate race-related output is an unintended and rational outcome based on disparate race-related input, benefit of the doubt ought to go to law-enforcement tactics that save lives. A hundred years ago crimes against blacks were disproportionately committed by white males. Stopping, questioning and frisking white guys dressed in sheets would have spared the nation a great deal of bloodshed and a stain on our history. Most of today's criminals aren't brazen or foolish enough to wear a distinctive uniform, but they are disproportionately poor, uneducated and black. Of course a competent police department will find proportionately more blacks engaged in suspicious behavior as long as blacks constitute a large percentage of people committing crimes. That disparate impact is lamentable, but not inappropriate.
The way disparate impact is being used by social-justice proponents is endangering lives, particularly in black neighborhoods, and is borderline criminal in its impact.
David Young
Who bears the responsibility to prevent violent crime or to stop it as it is happening? Should we just allow crime to happen and then act retroactively?
Community policing is an admirable concept when the community is encouraged and equipped to act, instead of living in fear. However, I would submit that the very same people who are most opposed to allowing police to stop, question and frisk on the grounds that it infringes on the liberties of the people are even more opposed to allowing the law-abiding citizens in high-crime neighborhoods to arm themselves for their personal defense and as a deterrent against violent crime. We can hardly expect this to sit comfortably with those who are most at risk of being victims of violent crime.

2006 Saab 9-5 Problems
The direct ignition cassette can fail causing the engine to die while driving, and/or it will crank but not start. The engine may also have a rough idle and run roughly. Diagnosis may discover trouble codes for random misfires.
The exhaust flex pipe can fail causing excessive exhaust noise from the front/center area of the vehicle. The flex pipe is a flexible joint in the exhaust that allows for engine movement.
If the HID head lights are flickering or have failed, it may be caused by the window washer fluid leaking onto the HID modules. The washer fluid check valve for the head light washers develops the leak and drips onto the modules mounted under the head light assemblies.
2006 Saab 9-5 Questions
Sudden failure while driving - windows, turn signals, mirrors, do not work and drain battery overnight. Replaced an old battery and everything worked for one day then had the same failure again. How to trouble shoot an electrical short? could this be a mouse/squirrel wire chewing problem?
I suspect either the direct ignition cassette or the crank sensor

Where to find info on maxiimum temp tolerated by various plants
I am gardening near Lake Mathis in South Texas. Every day with clear sky in August runs well over 100 deg F, yesterday was 111F in the shade just outside the kitchen door! Seeds are not germinating at all under a big carport awning...but I need to get seeds started for fall vegetables. (the carport awning area stays a bit cooler, around 4 deg. or so so---- it probably hit 107 yesterday) Even though mulched heavily now, most of my (all young) fruit trees are dying (low-chill peach and plum and a Satsuma). Only a Quince and two apple varieties are still growing. All the bamboo seedlings in pots under the carport have died.
Although it is easy to find the lowest temp a plant or tree can take in winter, it is not very often that an internet article tells you what the max temp is that it can take. The growing zone designations are too general, especially when you live in a place with such high summer temps! So I was wondering if there is some database of plants/trees that gives MAX temp tolerated? Then I would know what plants are a waste of time and money here.
Also I have heard that although canteloupe like full sun, in very hot climate/summers, they benefit from partial shade. So I am wondering if the problem with the fruit trees could be that they need some partial shade (problematic to provide....there are no full-grown trees anywhere around to provide any shade) Thanks to all.
I'm sure everyone on this forum will appreciate your predicament! In zone 9, it is probably even more difficult. Since I'm in zone 8, I usually look for items that are said to grow at least one zone higher. Not fool proof, but it helps. I'll be watching this thread to see if anyone else knows...
Sunset Magazine has divided North America into climate zones that are unique to particular areas. They take into account annual precipitation as well as summer and winter temperatures. Your zone is either 28 or 29. Sunset's website has plant recommendation for each zone.
Here is a link that might be useful: Climate zones in Texas

Hi, I'm from a small town in central Maine. The town is changing as the mills have closed and the population shifts. To celebrate the changes, my 5th grade literacy classroom is studying our ancestry in hopes of better understanding each other and to celebrate the unique cultures we share. We plan to paint symbols and words to represent our cultures/customs onto a movable mural/wall and display it downtown then in our schoolyard. I am looking for ideas, resources, literacy connections. Any tips, suggestions, words of wisdom? Thanks! Mary

Now there's something you don't see every day. I should send this video to my state legislature so they can ban model helicopters.
I have always wanted a rc plane with mini mg in 22lr. on each wing.
Oh my yes!
My grandson would enjoy that. Especially if it was equipped with a SPIE rig so that he could shoot his way to the toy box and extricated all the Teddy bears.
So I guess an RC mechanism exists to pull a trigger. How does that work, and would a 1911 drum loaded be too much weight?
Check this one out, it can be flown automonously or in manual mode.
Century Arms AR-15A2, 5.56

NEF Pardner Tracker II, 12 gauge
Rock Island Armory 1911A1, .45 ACP

So who is "carrying" the weapon? How does the FAA feel about armed model helicopters? Does this count as open or concealed carry :-)

Titan Publications just released The Art of Hammer, by Marcus Hearn. The amazing thing about the book is that it made me realize how powerfully artwork can out-creep the movies they advertise. The singular vision of so many examples of art has tremendous impact.
Hammer films were the reason my closet was haunted as a kid. Just looking at the artwork on the outside of the theater, presenting attractions for the next shocker, was enough to send me home with nightmares. Perhaps my imagination was acute, but I think the artists that made these visions so frightening were having the time of their lives. They had no idea they were stirring deep primordial fears within children everywhere. Or, well, maybe they did.

Planning jersey knit dress
So I am planning my first dress and I wanted to keep it simple. There are just some things and style points I need help working out. I successfully drafted a skirt sloper, as per Jamie Laus tutorial, and removed all ease and tapered the pattern to the knee. Hopefully this will create a great fitting skirt. For the bodice I was unsuccessful at drafting my own, so I temporarily put it aside and decided to choose a pre drafted pattern. I really like the bodice on the Danielle dress pattern, right in burdastyle, but as it was created for a woven I understand there may have to be some modifications. Lastly, I also like the pleated sleeves on the Danielle and was even thinking of a lettuce hem, (despite not having a serger I have seen on RTW shirts an unfinished lettuce hem with slightly rolled edges and like the effct) as well as a center contrast band like on Danielle, but this would have to be done in a different color for lack of fabric. What color would match with royal blue? Or should I ditch the sleeves and contrast band in order to have all one color?
Thanks for suggestions

California High-Speed Rail is a high-speed rail system currently under construction in the state of California. The planned line would connect Los Angeles with San Francisco by 2029 with speeds up to 200 miles per hour (320 km/h)[3] and allow for future extensions to San Diego and Sacramento. Initial funding for the project was approved by California voters on November 4, 2008, and authorized the issuance of US$9.95 billion in bonds for the project.
The first phase of the line will be constructed in three interconnected segments: one in the Central Valley, one linking the Central Valley to the Los Angeles Basin, and another linking the Central Valley to the San Francisco Bay Area. Future segments include routes to Sacramento and San Diego.
The project's cost and scope have long been a source of controversy. The California High-Speed Rail Authority has estimated the project's year-of-expenditure cost at $68.4 billion (2011 estimate).[4] In July 2014 The World Bank reported that the per kilometer cost of California's high-speed rail system was $56 million, more than double the average cost of $17–21 million per km of high speed rail in China and more than the $25–39 million per km average for similar projects in Europe,[5] however this would be less than Phase 1 of High Speed 2 in the United Kingdom ($171 million per km) according to sources from The Guardian.[6]
A groundbreaking ceremony was hosted in Fresno on 6 January 2015 to mark the commencement of sustained construction activities.[7] While preliminary construction has begun along portions of the route, the rolling stock, station design, and the exact right-of-way for the initial alignment remains to be determined.
Plans for a high-speed train system linking Northern and Southern California were proposed by Governor Jerry Brown in the 1980s.
In 1992, the SF - LA rail corridor was proposed in the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act as one of five high speed rail corridors.
In 1996, the California High-Speed Rail Authority was established to begin formal planning in preparation for a ballot measure in 1998 or 2000.
The ballot measure was originally scheduled to be put before voters in the 2004 general election; however, the state legislature voted twice to move it back, first to 2006, and finally to 2008 when voters approved the issuing of bonds with 52.7% voting in favor.
The cost of the initial San Francisco-to-Anaheim segment was originally estimated by the Authority to be $33 billion (2008) / $36.1 billion (2015),[8] but a revised business plan released in November 2011 by the Authority put the cost at $65.4 billion (2010) / $70.7 billion (2015) / $98.5 billion (YOE). The latest plan has revised the costs down to $53.4 billion (2011) / $56 billion (2015) / $68.4 billion (YOE).[9] An implementation plan approved in August 2005 estimated that it would take eight to eleven years to "develop and begin operation of an initial segment of the California high-speed train."[10]
On December 2, 2010, the Authority Board of Directors voted to begin construction on the first section of the system from Madera to Fresno. On December 20, 2010, with the infusion of an additional $616 million in federal funds reallocated from states that canceled their high-speed rail plans, the initial segment of construction was extended to Bakersfield. Another $300 million was reallocated on May 9, 2011, extending the funded portion north to the future Chowchilla Wye, so that the train can be turned.[11] Construction, originally expected to begin in 2013,[12] has now been delayed to early 2014.[13]
The Authority released a revised business plan for the system on November 1, 2011, with a new cost estimate of $68.4 billion (in year-of-expenditure dollars)[4] for the Phase 1 Blended system. This is the equivalent to $51.1 billion in 2008 dollars, 55% more[disputed ] than the initial budget of $33 billion (2008 dollars) approved by referendum,[citation needed] along with a revised completion date was pushed from 2020 to 2033 if a Full Build option is chosen instead of the Blended System.[14]
In September 2012, the Obama administration gave California's high-speed rail project the green light. President Obama put the project on a fast track. President Obama's plan would streamline the permitting process for the 114-mile (183 km) section of the project which starts just north of Fresno in Madera County and runs south to Bakersfield.
On July 6, 2012, the California legislature approved construction financing for an initial stage of the project. Gov. Jerry Brown signed the bill on July 18.[15] The funding approved includes $4.5 billion in bonds previously approved by voters, which, in turn, freed up $3.2 billion in federal funding that would otherwise have expired after July 6. $2.6 billion will be used to build an initial 130-mile (209 km) segment of high-speed line from Madera to just north of Bakersfield in the Central Valley. Funding will also be used for several "bookend" and connectivity projects designed to integrate the future high-speed rail system with existing local and regional rail lines. This blended approach was adopted in a revised Authority business plan approved in April 2012, and is expected to reduce construction costs while providing immediate benefits to rail users in the state. The business plan promises to give priority to closing the gap in passenger rail service between Bakersfield and the Los Angeles area.[16] The plan estimates final cost at Year-Of-Expenditure (YOE) $68 billion for the Phase 1 project, connecting San Francisco with Los Angeles via Central Valley and Palmdale.[17]
On August 20, 2013 the joint venture of Tutor Perini/Zachary/Parsons announced that it had executed a contract with the Authority for the design and construction of the initial Madera to Fresno segment of the California high-speed rail system. The contract is valued at approximately $985 million, plus an additional $53 million in provisional sums.[18]
Tutor Perini won the bid for the first segment of HSR construction, but they didn't win the second bid. That went to a team led by Spain's Dragados, alongside Flatiron West of San Marcos and Shimmick of Oakland. Dragados/Flatiron/Shimmick submitted a bid of $1.23 billion to design and build the 65-mile (105 km) stretch from the south end of Fresno to near the Tulare-Kings county line and was deemed the "apparent best value" bidder by the California High-Speed Rail Authority. The consortium includes Dragados USA Inc., a subsidiary of Grupo ACS, and Dragados S.A. of Spain; Flatiron West Inc. of San Marcos; and Shimmick Construction Co. of Oakland. Their bid came well below the range of $1.5 billion to $2 billion that was forecast by engineers and consultants working for the rail authority.
A groundbreaking ceremony was hosted in Fresno on 6 January 2015 to mark the commencement of sustained construction activities.[7]
The system will extend from San Francisco and Sacramento, via the Central Valley, to Los Angeles and San Diego via the Inland Empire. As planned, the track from San Francisco to Los Angeles would be 520 miles (840 km).[19] Possible stations are shown on the statewide rail modernization map at right. In January 2012, the Authority released a study, started in May 2011, that favors a route through Antelope Valley over one that parallels Interstate 5.[20]
One issue initially debated was the crossing of the Diablo Range via either the Altamont Pass or the Pacheco Pass to link the Bay Area to the Central Valley. On November 15, 2007, Authority staff recommended that the High Speed Rail follow the Pacheco Pass route because it is more direct and serves both San Jose and San Francisco on the same route, while the Altamont route poses several major engineering obstacles, including crossing San Francisco Bay. Some cities along the Altamont route, such as Pleasanton and Fremont, opposed the Altamont route option, citing concerns over possible property taking and increase in traffic congestion.[21] However, environmental groups, including the Sierra Club, have opposed the Pacheco route because the area is less developed and more environmentally sensitive than Altamont.[22]
On December 19, 2007, the Authority Board of Directors agreed to proceed with the Pacheco Pass option.[23] Pacheco Pass was considered the superior route for long-distance travel between Southern California and the Bay Area, although the Altamont Pass option would serve as a good commuter route. The Authority plans conventional rail upgrades for the Altamont corridor, to complement the high-speed project.

San Francisco to San Jose The 50-mile (80 km) bookend from San Francisco to San Jose currently used by Caltrain is scheduled to be electrified by 2020. High-speed trains will run at reduced speeds on this segment beginning with Bay to Basin in 2026, and then on dedicated HSR infrastructure. The one-way fare between San Francisco and San Jose is expected to cost $22 in 2013 dollars.[24]
San Jose to Merced The 125 miles (201 km) from San Jose to Merced, crossing the Pacheco Pass, will run on dedicated HSR tracks for Bay to Basin in 2026 (since the current right of way south of Tamien is freight-owned). The one-way fare between San Jose and Merced is expected to cost $54 in 2013 dollars.[24]
Merced to Fresno The 60-mile (97 km) segment from Merced to Fresno in the Central Valley will run on dedicated HSR tracks for the Initial Operating Section in 2022.[citation needed]
Fresno to Bakersfield The 114-mile (183 km) Fresno to Bakersfield segment in the Central Valley will run on dedicated HSR tracks for the Initial Operating Section in 2022. As of 7 May 2014[update], the route for this segment has been chosen and approved by the California High-Speed Rail Authority.[25] Final approval is required by the Federal Railroad Administration and Surface Transportation Board before construction can begin.[26]
Bakersfield to Palmdale The 85 miles (137 km) from Bakersfield to Palmdale, crossing the Tehachapi Pass, will run on dedicated HSR tracks for the Initial Operating Section in 2022.[citation needed]
Palmdale to Los Angeles The 58-mile (93 km) bookend from Palmdale to Los Angeles, crossing the San Gabriel Mountains, will run on dedicated HSR tracks for Phase 1 Blended in 2029.[27] XpressWest has plans to connect to Palmdale, and have passengers transfer to the Metrolink system to access the Los Angeles area, for their Los Angeles to Las Vegas high-speed service in 2016. The one-way fare between Palmdale and Los Angeles is expected to cost $32 in 2013 dollars.[24]
Los Angeles to Anaheim The 29 miles (47 km) from Los Angeles to Anaheim will run on an upgraded Metrolink corridor for Phase 1 Blended in 2029. The one-way fare between Los Angeles and Anaheim is expected to cost $29 in 2013 dollars.[24]
Los Angeles to San Diego The 167 miles (269 km) from Los Angeles to San Diego will be built in Phase 2.[citation needed]
Merced to Sacramento The 110 miles (177 km) from Merced to Sacramento will be built in Phase 2.[citation needed]
The California High Speed Rail Authority plans to order rolling stock in Spring 2015. These contracts will be awarded through a bidding process. According to the Fresno Bee, the following companies have formally expressed interest in producing trains for the system:[28]
According to its 2014 business plan, the High Speed Rail Authority plans to spend $889 million in its initial rolling stock purchase. These trains should have a lifespan of 30 years. The Fresno Bee estimates that as many as 15 trains could be ordered for the initial operating segment of the route.[28]
California and Federal ARRA funds are available to complete a 130-mile (209 km) initial segment from Fresno to Bakersfield in the Central Valley by 2017. This segment would connect with BNSF tracks at each end to allow the Amtrak San Joaquin trains to use the line as a high-performance rail segment, saving 45 minutes to an hour. The selection of the Central Valley as the location for initial construction was dictated in part by the requirements of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) funding, which stipulates that funding terminates in 2017 and that it be used for "rail passenger transportation except commuter rail passenger transportation." (p. 2-12)
The 2012 Business Plan (Exhibit ES-3)[29] projects the completion dates (shown at right) for high-speed rail segments, assuming additional funding can be obtained. No dates are given for the Phase 2 segments, Merced–Sacramento and Los Angeles–San Diego.
The California High-Speed Rail Authority aims to connect the mega-regions of the state, contribute to economic development and a cleaner environment, create jobs and preserve agricultural and protected lands. The Authority aims to build a high-speed rail system between San Francisco and Los Angeles basin by 2029 and allow for travel between these two areas in under three hours at speeds capable of over 200 miles per hour (320 km/h). Additional system extensions to Sacramento and San Diego, totaling a system of 800 miles (1,300 km) are planned. The rail system aims to meet the state's 21st century transportation needs.
In 2009, the Authority projected that construction of the system will create 450,000 permanent jobs through the new commuters that will use the system,[30] and that the Los Angeles-San Francisco route will generate a net operating revenue of $2.23 billion by 2023,[30] consistent with the experience of other high-speed intercity operations around the world.[31] Even Amtrak's high-speed Acela Express service generates an operating surplus that is used to cover operating expenses of other lines.[32]
The 2012 Business Plan estimates that the first segment's construction will "generate 20,000 jobs over five years," with the Phase 1 system requiring 990,000 job-years over 15 years, averaging 66,000 annually.[33]
According to a fact sheet on the Authority website[34] the environmental benefits of the system include:
The California High-Speed Rail system has been criticized on budgetary, feasibility, legal, environmental, political and public opinion grounds. Criticisms have been made by individuals, public officials, private institutions, government agencies, and civil society organizations.
The California Legislative Analyst's Office published recommendations on May 10, 2011, which they said will help the high-speed rail project be developed successfully. They recommended that the California legislature seek flexibility on use of federal funds and then reconsider where construction of the high-speed rail line should start. They also recommended that the California legislature shift responsibility away from the Authority and fund only the administrative tasks of the Authority in the 2011–12 budget.[35]
In January 2012, an independent peer review panel published a report recommending the Legislature not approve issuing $2.7 billion in bonds to fund the project.[36] The panel of experts was created by state law to help safeguard the public's interest. The report said that moving ahead on the high-speed rail project without credible sources of adequate funding represents a financial risk to California.
Prior to the July 2012 vote, State Senator Joe Simitian, (D-Palo Alto), expressed concerns about financing needed to complete the project, asking: "Is there additional commitment of federal funds? There is not. Is there additional commitment of private funding? There is not. Is there a dedicated funding source that we can look to in the coming years? There is not."[37] The lobbying and advocacy group Train Riders Association of California also considers that Bill SB 1029 "provides no high-speed service for the next decade".[38]
In September 2008, Reason Foundation, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the Citizens Against Government Waste groups published "The California High Speed Rail Proposal: A Due Diligence Report". The report projected that the final cost for the complete system would be $65.2 to $81.4 billion (2008), significantly higher than estimates made for the Authority by Parsons Brinckerhoff,[citation needed] an American engineering firm.
Elon Musk has criticized the project as too expensive and resulting in a train that is too slow. On August 12, 2013 he released a high-level alpha design for a Hyperloop transit system concept which he claimed would travel over three times as fast and cost less than a tenth of the rail proposal.[39][40] The following day he announced a plan to construct a demonstration of the concept.[41] Musk's claims have been subject to significant debate and criticism.[42]
The Reason Foundation, the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association and the Citizens Against Government Waste groups' "The California High Speed Rail Proposal: A Due Diligence Report" projected fewer riders by 2030 than officially estimated: 23.4 to 31.1 million intercity riders a year instead of the 65.5 to 96.5 million forecast by the Authority and later confirmed by an independent peer review.[43] The report stated that no existing high-speed train currently meets the proposed speed and safety goals, although the safety systems have not been fully specified, and that the reduction in CO2 emissions would be inconsequential. The time required to reach the proposed speeds, the distances between stops, and the fact that for part of the route the high-speed trains will travel on regular train tracks rather than upgraded high-speed rail tracks indicates that attaining the proposed speeds would be difficult between the majority of stops.[44]
The Legislative Analyst's Office published a report in December 2011 indicating that the incremental development path outlined by CHSRA may not be legal.[45] According to the State Analyst, "Proposition 1A identifies certain requirements that must be met prior to requesting an appropriation of bond proceeds for construction. These include identifying for a corridor, or a usable segment thereof, all sources of committed funds, the anticipated time of receipt of those funds, and completing all project-level environmental clearances for that segment. Our review finds that the funding plan only identifies committed funding for the ICS (San Joaquin Valley segment), which is not a usable segment, and therefore does not meet the requirements of Proposition 1A. In addition, the HSRA has not yet completed all environmental clearances for any usable segment and will not likely receive all of these approvals prior to the expected 2012 date of initiating construction."
The selection of the Pacheco Pass alignment has come under intense criticism from a number of stakeholders.[46] This alignment requires going through the Grasslands Ecological Area, which has been criticized by many environmental groups, including The Sierra Club.[47] A coalition that includes the cities of Menlo Park, Atherton and Palo Alto has also sued the California High Speed Rail Authority to reconsider the Altamont Pass alternative.[48][49]
The following people were listed in the official voter information guide[50] as opponents for the November 2008 vote: Hon. Chuck DeVore (R), California State Assemblyman; Richard Tolmach, President California Rail Foundation; Mike Arnold, Ph.D., Co-Chair Marin Citizens for Effective Transportation; Hon. Tom McClintock (R), State Senator; Hon. George Runner (R), State Senator; and Jon Coupal, President Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association.
By March 2013, according to a Public Policy Institute of California poll, only 43 percent of likely voters supported the project, a decline of 10 percent from when the measure passed in 2008.[51]
In a report[52] commissioned by the CHSRA, a comparison is made to the needed infrastructure improvement if high-speed rail is not constructed. According to the report, the cost of building equivalent capacity to the $68.4 billion (YOE) Phase 1 Blended plan, in airports and freeways, is estimated to be $119.0 billion (YOE) for 4,295 new lane-miles (6,912 km) of highway, plus $38.6 billion (YOE) for 115 new airport gates and 4 new runways, for a total estimated cost of $158 billion.[53]
On November 4, 2008, California voters approved Proposition 1A, a measure to construct the initial segment of the network. The measure provides $9.95 billion for the construction of the core segment between San Francisco and Los Angeles/Anaheim, and an additional $950 million for improvements on local railroad systems, which will serve as feeder systems to the planned high-speed rail system.
Financing plans to complete the initial segment require as-yet-unsecured support from federal and local governments, as well as significant investment from the private sector. In a plan developed by the CHSRA in conjunction with Goldman Sachs, the federal commitment was expected to be $12 to $16 billion, while private investors would invest up to $7.5 billion, leaving an additional $10 billion to come from local governments.[54] Construction costs are projected to be approximately $98.5 billion (year of expenditure). The Authority projects the initial operating segment to produce a budget surplus which will be used to finance extensions to Sacramento and San Diego.
On October 2, 2009, then-Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger unveiled California's official application for ARRA high-speed rail stimulus funding. The total amount of the application was $4.7 billion, representing more than half of the $8 billion set aside for high-speed rail. The application included:
On January 28, 2010, the White House announced that California would receive $2.35 billion of its request, of which $2.25 billion was allocated specifically for California High Speed Rail, while the rest was designated for conventional rail improvements.[55]
On October 28, 2010, the federal government awarded the Authority a further $900 million for passenger rail improvements, including $715 million specifically for the high-speed rail project, but with the requirement that it be used for the Central Valley segments from Merced to Fresno, or Fresno-to-Bakersfield.[56] While the CHSRA recognizes the federal government's desire for the initial segment to be built in the Central Valley, the Authority states that it will evaluate the starting segment according to its own criteria. This announcement brings the federal government's funding commitment to high-speed rail projects in California to $4.3 billion.
On December 10, 2010, the Department of Transportation reallocated $1.2 billion in federal high-speed rail funding from states that had rejected the stimulus funds, including Wisconsin and Ohio. Nearly half of this funding, $624 million, was redirected to the Authority for use on the initial Central Valley leg of the project.[57]
On May 9, 2011, the Department of Transportation reallocated $2 billion in federal high-speed rail funding from Florida, which had rejected the funding. The DOT awarded $300 million to the Authority for a 20-mile (32 km) extension along the Central Valley Corridor. The work funded in this round will extend the track and civil work from Fresno to the Chowchilla Wye, which will provide a connection to San Jose to the West and Merced to the North.[58] The California High Speed Rail Authority issued a draft Business Plan on November 1, 2011, for public review and comment.[59] The Business Plan will shape the financial and operational implementation of the HSR project, and must be adopted and submitted to the Legislature by January 1, 2012 and every two years thereafter.[60]
On November 25, 2013, Sacramento County Superior Court Judge Michael Kenny issued two rulings which have indefinitely postponed the release of funding from the passage of Proposition 1A. He ruled that the State of California does not have a valid financing plan, which was required by Proposition 1A, and has required the California High-Speed Rail Authority agency to rescind its business plan and create a new one. He also ruled that the state had not properly approved the sale of bonds to finance the project and declined to validate the bonds.[61] The Brown administration sought an expedited appellate court hearing to overturn this ruling,[62] but that request was denied.[63][64]
On July 31, 2014, the 3rd District Court of Appeal's three-judge panel reversed the lower court ruling and ordered Judge Michael Kinney to vacate his decision.[65]
[Musk] will develop and construct a Hyperloop demonstrator.
We are satisfied with the documentation presented in Cambridge Systematics, and conclude that it demonstrates that the model produces results that are reasonable and within expected ranges for the current environmental planning and Business Plan applications of the model. We were very pleased with the content, quality and quantity of the information.

After adjusting the analysis to be more comparable to the costs described in the Business Plan, the total costs of equivalent investment in airports and highways would be $123-138 billion (in 2011 dollars) to build 4,295-4652 lane-miles of highways, 115 gates, and four runways for Phase 1 Blended and Phase 1 Full Build, respectively... In year-of-expenditure (YOE) dollars, the highway and airport costs would be $158-186 billion.

Detectives were today trying to unravel the mystery of a man found wandering the streets bare-chested with "terrible" burns.
Detectives were today trying to unravel the mystery of a man found wandering the streets bare-chested with "terrible" burns.
The West End's historic Chinatown will "disappear in five years" as oriental restaurants are squeezed out by rising rents and soaring property prices, traders said today.
Nine men have been arrested following a large violent street brawl in Borough this morning.
Rita Ora, aka Cara Delevingne's "wifey" wore an orange dress to the Brits, believed to be designed by Ulyana Sergeenko. It had frayed hems, a high neckline and a bustle on the back. I think the colour looks great but the dress's shape has been criticised.
Emeli Sande. Adele's maternity cover. That is all.
Just checked all the papers. Not ONE sub has headlined their Brits roundup 'Sandé, bloody Sandé '. Shameful.
Emma McCarthy from our fashion desk was snapping away at the Brits last night. The stage looked great. Here's Robbie Williams singing Candy. It's no Rock DJ. Later on, the married father said Taylor Swift was looking hot and it's his turn to bed her next.
There really is a lot of love for One Direction after they were nominated for Best British Single last night. Above is a pic of Amanda Holden with the boys.
And here are a few of the choicest tweets from excitable fans:

CAFFEINE HIT The lovely Foxcroft and Ginger café in Soho has just announced its new website. So now you can find out what's on its daily changing menu - from fresh sandwiches to flat white coffees or eggs with sourdough toast.

We have decided to draw our innovative project at The Tunnels to a close. The Tunnels was an adventurous and exciting project which started as a temporary event and performance space in 2009.

We have three great years to look back on, and are proud of the remarkable range of events and productions that we have presented in the space.

Here's today's front page - we lead on the sensational developments in the Oscar Pistorius trail. The detective leading the investigation into Oscar Pistorius is himself facing seven charges of attempted murder, it emerged today, and has been dismissed from the case. Full story.
This is a formidable exhibition, didactic, intense and moving. The ground is not new, but the particularly sharp focus on it is. The quality of the exhibits is uneven — the Disneyish Child with a Dove is properly described by one of the essayists as "sentimental fluff", the woman bathing in a tub, The Blue Room, is recklessly distorted (to be forgiven only for the warm sunlight on her belly), and The Burial, if not in poor humour, is a pompous failure — but this reflects the madcap pace of a year in which we know Picasso painted some 120 oil paintings and many others lost, destroyed or painted over, to say nothing of pastels and drawings; the quality of the best is astonishing, even sublime. On October 25, 1901 the 19-year-old genius celebrated his 20th birthday — he had become Picasso.
Biking is officially the hipster pass time of choice these days, after census revealed more people cycle in Hackney than drive to work.

A few images from the recent storm that pummeled Utah ski resorts. Some resorts claimed as much as 48 inches from the weekend system, a necessary addition to the base before holiday skier traffic.
October 27, 2009
Snowbird locals sent us a YouTube video this week tracking the above average seasons of the past two years and this one liner: "Snowing hard in Little Cottonwood right now." It's official, winter is here, but when will Utah resorts open?
October 1, 2009
Forget aiming for 100 ski days a year. With snowfall this early in the season, Utah, Wyoming, and Colorado's most dedicated can get 200-plus days.

The heavens really open up in Utah. These neighboring resorts at the end of Little Cottonwood Canyon typically get more than 600 inches a year.
September 14, 2009
With the exception of Whistler Blackcomb, no other resort comes close to matching Jackson for easy access to back- and sidecountry lines.
September 14, 2009
Like the Olympics it's about to host, Whistler Blackcomb is big, hyped, and full of underage Asian women on drugs.
August 11, 2009
Alta and Snowbird usually receive between 400 and 500 inches of snow, depending on the season and where it's measured. In 2008, Alta got 702 inches. That's nuts.

Reviews For Wolverine Boots 4378
This Product:
Wolverine Boots: Men's Brown Briar 4378 DuraShocks Work Boots
You feet say a-a-a-h-h-h-h-h the first time you slip into these boots, and everytime afterwards. When I say "slip" I mean the throat is wide and open and very very easy to get in and out of. I have enjoyed an old old pr of these boots (and they are still going strong) the style # is worn so badly as to be mostly un readable, but the boots don't quit. They take a good shine, if you choose to. Real quality leather. Feels like walking barefoot on a plush carpet. Great help for old old stove up legs and feet. Everyone should enjoy at least one pair of these. I wish they were also available in 8" style. I'd want my name on the top of the order listing. Oh , and did I mention Comfortable ? nuff said

copper and fuyu persimmons
john222-gg(Mississippi 8a/8b)July 3, 2013
I have some fuyu persimmons that are aprox 10 years old they are getting Lichen on them. It is not real bad yet but the question is can I spray copper on the fuyu trees to get rid of the lichen this winter after the leaves all fall. Normally I don't spray any thing on my persimmons they always just take care of themselves. I don't know if the lichen will hurt them it just looks bad.

What happens when a rogue test email gets sent to thousands of people? If you're in Berkeley, Calif., you have a community picnic, of course.
Your next visit to Greendale will require Yahoo Screen. Thankfully, that doesn't mean parking a chair in front of your PC.
"Community" is coming back for a sixth season thanks to Yahoo, and a new trailer builds the hype for what looks to be the triumphant return of Greendale's most prominent study group.
A 13-year-old boy walks home along railway tracks. The train driver allegedly sounds his horn. The boy doesn't hear.
Fans of the show will be one step closer to the dream of six seasons and a movie when the misfits of Greendale Community College return -- this time on tech giant's video service, Yahoo Screen.
Connecticut takes the first step toward launching a gigabit broadband network that officials hope will spur competition and lead to higher-speed service at lower prices.
A YouTube comedy twosome famed among teens, Smosh has an audience to beat top-rated TV shows -- even if "real TV" is the one place they're not interested in going.
The popular TV series, which was canceled by NBC in May, is resurrected with 13 new episodes exclusively on the tech giant's video platform.
To protect its 100 million users, the live-stream video service for gamers says it has reset all passwords and disconnected user accounts from Twitter and YouTube.
The world's largest social network says it will create a "fix" for people caught up in the company's "real-name policy."

BODY LANGUAGE IN COMMUNICATION What do we mean by "Body Language" ?? The medium through which people and animals communicate using gestures, expressions and posture. Why is Body Language important? Body language plays a big role in intuition as it gives us messages about the other person, that we can interpret at an intuitive level. 7% 55% 38% Components of Body Language Facial Expression including Eye contact Gestures Stance Space Relationship Facial Expressions There are some universal facial expressions; a smile, a frown, a scowl. Eye contact is direct and powerful. The use of eye contact varies significantly from culture to culture Gestures Fidgeting shows boredom and restlessness. Pressing fingers together to form a steeple shows interests, assertiveness and determination. Touching the nose or rubbing eyes indicates discomfort. A hand to the back of the neck may indicate withdrawal from a conversation. Open Stance Interested people always have an erect posture, pay attention and lean forward A firm handshake will give the impression of assertiveness or honesty People showing open hands, both feet planted on the ground are accepting A head tilted to the side indicates interest Closed Stance Leaning backwards demonstrates aloofness or rejection Folding arms across ones chest or body is protective and gives the impression of a closed, guarded and defensive character. People with arms folded, legs crossed and bodies turned away are signalling that they are rejecting messages. A head down is negative and judgmental Space There are four distinct zones in which most people operate: Intimate Area 15-50 cm Personal Area 0.5-1m Social Area 1-3m General Area 3m Thank You!!
