The Oppressed
we ain't done anything, we get blamed
we are the innocent, we get framed
lies get told about us, when we're in court
you know that justice is never sought
we're victims of society
lie are told but noone sees
victims of society
can't you see they're after you and me
read in the paper, see it on the news
law and disorder is all the media choose
only show the hooligans, only show the thugs
makes for better telly, makes us look mugs

I am NOT an art collector, I am a photographic artist trying to sell stuff , I am not American, I am Engerish and live in London - These image and text digital paintings produce meaning - many of the images are from exhibitions and exhibitions - I am an artist because I decree this was fundamentally the case. The evidence for this are my pictures, some of which are here displayed. That is all in the past now as I am now dead. My work is of value to collectors because I am dead and cannot produce more work. My theme is the illusory self, and therefore, I am an unknown person. I come from no where and am not going anywhere.

I would like to clarify some concepts in scala
class Test(a:Int) {
def print = println(a)
class Test1(val a:Int) {
def print = println(a)
class Test2(private val a:Int) {
def print = println(a)
val test = new Test(1)
val test1 = new Test1(1)
val test2 = new Test2(1)
Now when I try to access a in test, test1, test2.
Scala prints
scala> test.a
<console>:11: error: value a is not a member of Test
scala> test1.a
res5: Int = 1
scala> test2.a
<console>:10: error: value a cannot be accessed in Test2
I understand Integer a is a field of Test1 and Test2. But what is the relationship of Integer a and class Test? Apparently Integer a is not a field of class Test, but it is accessable in print function.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - William Windom, who won an
Emmy Award
for his turn in the 1969 TV comedy series "My World And Welcome To It" and went on to score guest appearances on several popular shows, has died.
Windom died Thursday of congestive heart failure at his home in Woodacre, north of San Francisco, his wife Patricia told the Los Angeles Times. He was 88.
Windom won acclaim in the short-lived NBC series for his role as John Monroe, a writer-cartoonist for a New York magazine who relied on his fantasy life to escape a middle-class Connecticut life.
The series was based on the work of the humorist James Thurber and Windom went on to develop a one-man touring act inspired by the same whimsical Americana.
Born in New York City on Sept. 28, 1923, Windom was named after his great-grandfather, a Minnesota congressman and former U.S. Treasury secretary. He attended Williams College in Massachusetts before joining the Army as a paratrooper in W orld War II. He later attended the University of Kentucky, among several other higher-education institutions, and decided to pursue acting.
The easy-going Windom was an in-demand television character actor for decades and scored guest appearances on several American TV staples, including episodes of "Twilight Zone" and "Star Trek" and appeared on more than 50 segments of "Murder, She Wrote" beginning in the mid-1980s. There, Windom played a Maine country doctor opposite series star Angela Lansbury's Jessica Fletcher.
He also played the part of the prosecuting attorney who parries in court with Gregory Peck's Atticus Finch in the 1962 movie "To Kill a Mockingbird."
Married five times, Windom is survived by his wife of 37 years and four children, Rachel, Heather, Hope and Rebel.

We should watch movies together sometime.
The "watch together" part, not the castle part. That movie is awesome.
Das gay.
so you wont watch things with me?
No. I don't like watching things with anyone.
You do realize that my eyes get melted by my own banner every time I click on my profile, right? Pretty sure my eyesight has adapted to not be irritated by this sort of thing.
You didn't plan this far ahead, did you?
Thought so.
Eh, I have my eyes nearly melted every time I go to my own profile. You'll survive.
You get used to it.
Oooooooh, those things. Yeah, you'll be fine. Regular diplomas are overrated. I was thinking of dropping out completely, but my parents want me to have SOME sort of "you are smart" document, so I'm moving instead.
oh I see.
HUZZAH FOR LIVING IN A COUNTRY WHERE EDUCATION'S CHEAP AS **** ! When everyone has a university education, it's not all that impressive. A very "when everyone's special, no one is" kind of deal. These things are kind of meaningless, so I was thinking of doing some courses and getting certificates and **** . Gonna become a programmer now. Funnily enough, I hate programming. I'm just good at it. It's like being a straight male, who gives the worlds' best blowjobs. So, do GEDs come with some sort of specialization or are they just a general "You is smart" thing?
No specialization. Just a diploma without the effort.
I refuse to go to college in america.
I refuse to go to college in america.
Yeah, good call. Not worth it. Still, people who offer jobs really like those things.
Sup? Watching this **** right now. It's funny.
I saw the soup video. It was hilarious.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday.
I got my wisdom teeth pulled yesterday.
Ouch. I never got why people even pulled those in the first place. I've got 3 so far and they're not causing any issues.
Bottom ones often grow in sideways, and the upper ones I have no idea why, mine werent causing problems either.
I only got the upper ones pulled. I still have to do the lower ones later.
My mom hid my vicodin.
I only got the upper ones pulled. I still have to do the lower ones later.
My mom hid my vicodin.
One good thing about modern medicine and she deprives you of it. That's cruel.
I've never given my mom a reason not to trust me and yet she never does.
She's a parent. It's normal. My roommate's 24, has a well-paying job, his **** together and his mother still calls him once a day to ask if he's remembered to have dinner.
On another note I actually made an irl friend because of funnyjunk.

**** , that's actually kind of hard, given how your average funnyjunker's about as socially and sexually active as a cicada. How?
................................ OK, I'm gonna need, like, 5 minutes to properly process this and say what's wrong with this picture. Be right back.
Short version? You're not exactly a femboy, that's kind of creepy and I'm surprised you didn't get knocked out and wake up in a bathtub full of ice with a missing kidney.
Long version? I told you, I need 5 minutes.
Long version? I told you, I need 5 minutes.
That's good. Turns out I'm going to leave this university before I've even had a chance to go out for coffee or beer with my classmates. Technically, you're doing better than I am. Not sure if that means you're improving or I'm getting worse. Possibly both.
I'd be jumpy too. Then again, when I meet internet people IRL, I expect the ice and kidney thing, so that's kind of understandable.
Nah, too late for that. Finals are almost here and I have to get my **** sorted out, so I can move to a different university. Already exempted one exam. One more to go and I'm in the clear.

Well good luck scholastically for you then.
I found out that because I moved in the middle of the schoolyear a lot of credits got lost so I'd have to repeat senior year.
So because of that I've decided to drop out and get a GED.

Yeah, I nearly did that, too. That's why I have to get my **** together during the finals. I just have to survive these next 2 months and I'll be able to move with 0 loss of credits. Also, what's a GED? I don't think we have those here.
Its like a substitute diploma.
It basically is a document that says "I'm smart enough to have graduated, but I couldn't give enough of a **** to do it the right way."
So you get every benefit of a diploma, except everyone looks at you a little funny when you go to get into college or get hired.

I think one of the guys in the room next to ours just fell off the balcony. Or at least I hope he did. Sup?
Oh I see. It would be funny if he fell then.
what else have you been up to lately mister?
what else have you been up to lately mister?
No, it wouldn't be funny, since we live on the 6th floor. It'd be hilarious. I recently downloaded FTL: Advanced Edition. It's been devouring my life and free time. Also, I just got a phone call and I have to go out. Sorry.
REJOICE, for I have returned. ******* hell, it's a bajillion and five degrees out there. And yes, it's sort of my own fault. I try to do way too many things at the same time. So, how are you?
Im ok.
And you aint from where I'm from.
And you aint from where I'm from.
And thank god for that. I'd die. The cold is where I'm at. I should move to Russia or some **** . That's my new life goal - get rich as **** and build the worlds' first fiberoptic internet cable to the middle of central Siberia, so I can be in the middle of the frozen wasteland and still play SMITE.
I love the heat. Its so cold all the time here...
I wish it were cold all the time here. -20 in the winter, +40 in the summer. Mild climate, my ass.
+40 on the regular in my hometown. EZ
It's the sudden change that's killing me. It was below 0 three weeks ago. Now it's almost 30.
Was that the thing with the ninja robots that people like making SFM porn of?
Try it...
Eh, I'll do it eventually.
Sign up soon though I wanna play with you...
Notice me sendpain
You're like a boomerang - you refuse to go away.
Do you really want an honest answer? Because there's 8 billion people on the planet and a grand total of 8 I could say I like. You have a roughly 1 in a billion chance of being one of them.
Would you rather I stopped talking to you?..
I honestly don't care if you do or not. It's not annoying, but it's not exactly the highlight of my day, either.
Also I've got like gout or something. At first I thought my foot was slightly fractured so I went to go get xrays, but the xrays never got sent to the clinic after having them taken so yesterday was a big waste of time. But just from looking at it they don't think its broken. THey think I either have an infection or gout.
Break out the bone saw. Time to amputate.
Fug D:
So how are you?
So how are you?
Still playing Pillars of Eternity, killing time. Traveling later today. A friend has a birthday today and we decided to get a little group together. It amazes me how it only took a day for 12 people, living in 4 different cities, to get together, while it's been a year and I still can't get my uni classmates to go out for a drink or a coffee or some **** .
Well that sounds fun.
Sorry about your classmates though.
Sorry about your classmates though.
Eh, it's not like we're gonna be together for long. Half of them are already making arrangements to drop out or switch faculties. Turns out engineering degrees are hard. Who'd have thought?
Judging by your taste in anime, it's very likely.
I don't think I WANT to know about other shows with those things.
I'd rather not turn into a weeb just yet.
It doesn't have to be anime but I can find us some good **** . You like the macabre and dark humor stuff and all that is right up my alley.
Eh, I'll pass. I haven't been in much of a mood for animu or even regular movies lately. No idea why. Mostly prefer mangos.
I have absolutely no idea what this is, but Im going to read it soon.
As for now Im playing gta.
Playing gta is kinda making me sad though... Cause this one takes place in california and I've been to a lot of the places on the map so I miss my home :c

Warframe and such. you?
Pillars of Eternity is devouring my free time.
A classic RPG. No gimmicks, no pretentious storyline, no ******** about how it's the best thing ever. Just a classic RPG made with 2015 technology. Pretty damn fun. It plays a bit like Dragon Age: Origins, except it's more challenging and actually fun. Also, it allows you to dick around a lot more. Right now I'm working on making a rogue with a rifle, who fires so accurately that every hit's a critical and on a monk with such an absurd dexterity stat and attack speed that he looks like he crawled out of Fist of The North Star.
That sounds awesome.
It is. It also isn't afraid to **** you over by throwing you into a high-level area if you take the wrong turn. I was exploring a dungeon when I found a mysterious pit where the locals were throwing down sacrifices to their god. I did what any sane person would do and jumped straight down. There was a dragon at the bottom. A dragon, which ate everyone. Now I'm trying to level everyone up and gear them up to go back down there and **** that scaly ************ up.
Not swag, fists. That's what my brand new monk - Dickpuncher, is for.
dickpuncher shall reign supreme.
Never aired and I haven't watched TV in years.
Gladly, but I have a ******** of exams these next couple of weeks and I can't really afford to have a murder investigation on my ass, so I'll pass. You could try hanging. It lacks the personal touch, but it achieves the same effect.
Why don't you look me in the eyes when we make love...
Because the only way to ignore the other persons' penis is doggy style.
so lets do that then
Wait, I think there's been a failure to communicate here. Are we RPing or just coming up with witty gay retorts? Because I'm doing the latter.
For the 80th time, I'm not a tsundere, I'm just a witty cynical cunt. We come a dime a dosin these days. I'm not an anime character. I'm not even trash.
I hate tsundere. I know you're not tsundere.
My point still stands.
My point still stands.
You have one skewed-ass definition of "cute".
hey hey.
Valentine: I walked in on my mom
Valentine: dipping puffed cheetoes in marshmallow cream
Gary oak, Stevens universe, MMM: when you paused after walking in on your mom i figured that was going to take a much different turn
Valentine: And yet its still worse than what you expected me to say
Riveting tale, ol' chap.
I eat jalapenos with bread for breakfast. You're really asking the wrong person here.
That doesnt sound too bad.
Sorry, not nearly enough genocide or dark humor for my taste.
Dark HUMOR.
******* stab him?
Or how there are giant floating eyeballs and you can just stab them.
Or how there are giant floating eyeballs and you can just stab them.
You should. Great movie.
Well, that was boring and uninspired.
It was pretty ******* good.
**** , I can't believe it's finally over.". Tried Total War: Rome 2. It was **** , so I decided to try Total War: Rome instead. Incredibly fun. War dogs are the best thing ever. My war dogs see so much action they've got more experience than most of my other troops. They're so good now that just one unit of my furry little bundles of death and bloodlust sends half the enemy army running in fear. Serves those filthy barbarians right for thinking they could **** with me.
I want to find more weeb games.
I still need to beat persona 4 but i don't really feel like it right now.
Eroge visual novels about genocide?
******* goddamn crack for FL studio.
Isn't isohunt unreliable and unsafe?
I dunno. I've never had issues with it. Also, if it has that little green tick next to the name, it means it's verified as a safe and working torrent.
Hmm.. thank you.
I aim to please. Except when I don't.
**** , wrong image. This.
The games name directly translates to dream diary.
You spend your time going through this girls ****** up imagination finding "effects"
It's a pretty open world rpg too. Its mostly sightseeing and exploring, but there are a few puzzles to complete in it.
Not really my cup of tea.
Yes, but does Gragas stun people by purping at them so hard it creates a shockwave? Didn't think so.
Hi-Rez: 1
Rito: 0

He's so good.
DId you watch the jontron one?
DId you watch the jontron one?
I'm not sure. Probably not. Also, I have to go. Could be gone somewhere between 30 minutes and forever. Bye.
b-but I linked the jontron one earlier...
Good, just came back from a 3-hour lecture. One of our most important ones. Out of 120 people who were supposed to be there, only 20 or so stayed until the end. I feel like I won't have many classmates left next year. Kind of OK with that.
University, not school, and they already do that. It's called finals. We had 8 casualties on the first finals and by the looks of things the next two are going to be even worse. Can't say about the remaining 5. In any case, there won't be many of us left for the final finals.
University IS school! So when do you start killing people?
Not anytime soon, I hope. Still, you never know. Also, is it me or did it get a bit gayer in here?
I see.
I have played so much dangan ronpa recently...
My first playthrough had probably 60 hours of gameplay
and now I'm on SDR2 and I'm like 15 hours in and the second murder just barely happened.
Its amazing how much gameplay there is here.

>So much gameplay
I'm sure that's impressive, but I've spent over 2000 hours (and counting) playing unmodded Dwarf Fortress. Pardon me if I'm not so impressed. I'm playing Prison Architect right now. ****** fun.
****** a goblin to death, the many adventures of Ast the Iron-Willed and her son Urist the Swift and Stabby, there's a murder mystery every time a vampire sneaks into my fort, starts killing dwarves and blaming other dwarves for the murders. Heck, it even has the Dangan Rump-a fun executions every time I get a new noble. Nobles are little bitches, who want exotic goods like a solid gold dildo or a scepter made of the bones of a fallen god. Since, naturally, no one can really make those, they get pissy and start throwing my best craftsmen in prison. To prevent this, every time I get a new noble, I get rid of them. Always fin deaths. Throwing them down a volcano, launching them into space, throwing them into a cage full of angry ravens, who peck their eyes and skin off, sending them against an invading army wearing nothing but their underwear, waterboarding, decapitations, disembowelments, vivisections, getting eaten by a troll. Fun times.
I'm currently playing Prison Architect, SMITE, War Thunder The Sims 3 and Mount & Blade: Warband all at the same time. I couldn't fit it into my schedule right now even if I wanted to.
**** you, SMITE is awesome and that dog looks like a deer and a rat got drunk and 9 months later that thing was born.
I sing this during teamfights. www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9FImc2LOr8 I once managed to get a quadrakill with her against a 3-man team. That's just how powerful she is.
I used to play ziggs and slam dunk people by launching myself in the air with my W and Qing before I land.
It was the jamminest.
But she is really cool.
We should watch shows together sometime! Movie night!

He's basically gragas.
No, Gragas is basically Bacchus. Gragas is based on Bacchus, in the same way Nasus is based on Anubis, Azir on Ra, Renekton of Sobek, Pantheon on Ares, Leona on Athena and so on and so on. Quite a few LoL champs are based on gods.
If you want slamming, you go with Bacchus www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDO-GFjaWd
Ditto, but sadly I can't do it every day.
I like talking to you though..
What is it this time?
I want company.
Get a dog.
I have a dog.
Then spend some time with that dog. Non-human interaction is a very rewarding thing, which purely coincidentally reduces your interaction with me.
Yeah, fairly standard canine behavior.
Yes. I want a person to cuddle a lot of the time.
Well, good luck with that.
But for now talking to you is ok.
But for now talking to you is ok.
Do we even have anything to talk about? Cause I've got nothing. My life has been the same monotonous bore for the past 5 months.
Me neither, but I don't like mindnumbing boredom either.
We should do something fun together sometime.
Like what?
games and stuff. Or talking over skype. I don't know exactly.
Just talking in general is fine.
Just talking in general is fine.
Honestly, talking to people's seeming less and less appealing with each passing day.
But you like talking to me!
I don't really like talking to anyone anymore. All day every day, all I hear is talking. People talking to me, people talking around me, professors explaining stuff, students talking about random **** , random people talking about random things. Everywhere I go, it's just constant talking, sometimes hundreds of people at the same time. I'm starting to really appreciate the few moments of silence I get.
I stared at my screen for 2 minutes and not a single thought went through my head. This probably means it's time I went to bread. Good night. And, seriously, if you're constantly lonely, try finding people from different time zones, so there's always someone available.
Night* Or maybe nigh. I dunno. SLEEP IS NIGH!
And that's why you should find more people to talk to.
But I like talking to you...
And I have no idea why. Also, I'm either having deja vu or we've already done this.
I'm well over a foot taller than quite a few people. My best friend was only a bit taller than you.
It's 2:18AM, I can hardly feel my brain and you're trying (and failing) to make me question my sexual orientation. I think now would be a good time to end this conversation.
Better men than you have tried to make me gay. None have succeeded.
Because you try to casually seduce straight guys? Also, how many tall people do you even know?
Still, maybe you should occasionally try to talk to other people as well. Maybe women for a change. It's like talking to men, except the advances may work on them.
PERFECT! Go ask them to crush you to death.
Then just.........uhm.................. something something doggystyle. I dunno. Ugh, I'm too tired to come up with a proper sex joke.
Is it me or do we both suffer from a distinct lack of friends? Then again, it could just be the sleep deprivation talking. Sup?
I doubt I'll ever truly understand why. Still, don't you have better internet friends? You know, ones that occasionally act friendly? People actually like you. I doubt there isn't someone on the list who's a decent conversationalist.
I don't think I'm as liked as you think I am.
You're non-threatening, friendly, clingy and almost always available. You're the human version of a ******* puppy. You'd have to actively try in order to be disliked by most people.
Yeah, that's normal. Some people are just like that. Heck, I'm like that most of the time.
a friend of mine called me a liar and stopped talking to me because I was playing a game...
Is he by any chance 12?
**** . How the hell'd that even happen?
He was dating a friend of mine...
they had a bad breakup..
he invited me to a game when I was already playing a game with his ex
I told him that and he called me a liar, called me autistic, and removed me..

Ooooooooooooooh. You should have mentioned the ex part. Yeah, that sort of thing tends to happen after a break-up. I try to stay as faaaaaaaaaaaaaar away from broken up couples as possible for at least a month. They're pretty unstable. There's only two things I've seen make a grown-ass man cry like a little girl - a break-up and The Green Mile.
A broken heart overrides a working brain. Doesn't matter if you were his best friend. If you're there when he's hurt and looking for someone take his pain and frustration out on, it'll probably be you.
We should talk more often.
I speak with you more often than I speak with my parents and classmates.

About 3,000 candidates had registered in city for Central eligibility exam held on Sunday
Amid fervent discussions and unsettling sighs, what emerged after the third Central Teacher Eligibility Test (CTET) on Sunday, was a mixed response from candidates.
They were divided not just on the papers' difficulty levels but also how it fared compared to the Tamil Nadu Teacher Eligibility Test conducted by the Teachers Recruitment Board.
According to the CBSE regional office, 2,984 candidates registered to appear for CTET in Chennai. While 1,437 candidates registered for Paper I, 2,309 registered for Paper II. Some candidates registered for both papers.
"There were around 30 per cent absentees," said a CBSE official. Clearing CTET has been made mandatory under the Right to Education Act, for recruitment of teachers in schools run by the Central government such as Kendriya Vidyalayas.
Candidates have to secure 60 per cent to clear the paper. The examination was conducted across five centres in the city, and three cities in Tamil Nadu, according to CBSE.
While some candidates said they found the paper much easier than the previous CTET conducted in January, many others said it was just as challenging to crack. V. Kavitha, a teacher at a CBSE school in the city, who appeared for Paper I (meant for those intending to teach classes I to V), after much contemplation placed herself on the borderline.
"When compared to the CTET which I wrote in January, this was tougher. The one thing that remained unchanged was the race against time to complete the paper," the math teacher said. She is among the many teachers who are voluntarily writing the examination.
"We have asked all teachers who joined post 2010 to clear CTET within five years," said a principal of a CBSE school.
The response to Paper II, meant for those intending to teach classes VI to VIII, was not very different. N. Kanimozhi, who said she cleared TNTET in the first attempt, felt CTET scaled quite high on the difficulty level, especially the section on psychology.
However, there were others like Clara Rajesh, who called Paper II both interesting and challenging.
"Not only were the questions much easier than TNTET's Paper II, but also more application-based. Though it would have been ideal if the paper had been for two hours, I am expecting to score around 120," she said.

I saw Bond yesterday. Really good action although a lot of the scenes are shot way to close. The plot was just ok, but part of it was I forgot a lot of what happened in Casino Royale.
I saw Bond yesterday. Really good action although a lot of the scenes are shot way to close. The plot was just ok, but part of it was I forgot a lot of what happened in Casino Royale.
Watched 'Hancock' last night. Interesting premise for a movie but it was really short and really didn't go anywhere. Really odd I thought.

"Sit over here next to Johnathan (Bench)...sit right here, he's smart."--Sparky Anderson
Ya definitely don't want to call him an A-hole.
Also watched the Killing of John Lennon. It was alright. It's not like everyone doesn't already know the characters and how it's gonna play out.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
I watched Into the Wild last night and came away really impressed. I would recommend it to pretty much anyone and feel confident that he/she would enjoy it.
I just watched an older movie, on the recommendation of a friend, that I had never seen... Jacob's Ladder w/ Tim Robbins.
Very good movie. Very riveting.

Just watched The Counterfeiters. Good flick.

I saw it when it was in the theater, but recently bought the blu-ray and I think that Tropic Thunder is hilarious. Robert Downey Jr. is very funny playing a character that's playing a black guy. Tom Cruise steals a lot of scenes too.
Fight Club. Awesome movie it probably would've been better if society hadn't ruined the ending of the movie for me.
Most Vottomatic Player
OK. Here is a different take (question).
How many movies, which are considered either classics, highly successful, and major blockbusters, that you've never seen, and have finally broken down and watched?
I just watched Newman/Redford in "The Sting" this weekend. I've never seen the flick.
"panic" only comes from having real expectations
This isn't a movie, but I just saw a community theater production of "Little Shop Of Horrors" in Lima, Ohio, and it was outstanding. If any of you are in the area, you should check it out next weekend before it's gone.
I watched Children of Men last night. The premise was really corny (by the year 2027, humans become completely unable to reproduce), but overall, it was a pretty cool movie. If the plot bothers you for some reason, I can at least say that it was entertaining, and it kept my attention the entire time.
3:10 to Yuma. I didn't like it much at all. It's full of ridiculous plot holes and inconsistencies. For example, Christian Bale's character is missing part of his leg, and in some scenes he walks with a limp. In other scenes, he has no limp at all, and in some scenes he runs full speed without a hitch.
And why didn't Russell Crowe's character simply tell his gang to back off and let him get on the train?

Watched The Getaway with Steve McQueen and Alli McGraw last night or the night before on HDNet, for the 1st time. I liked it quite bit. Sally Struthers was hott in that movie man, I never thought I would think that. Alli McGraw was a sharp girl too although a little too bony for my taste.

Crozer-Chester Medical Center's Last, Best, and Final Offer
We have been bargaining with PASNAP for more than a year, and we have attended 26 bargaining sessions. However, we are far from an agreement, and we appear to be hopelessly deadlocked over the core economic issues that matter the most.
It's all about economics.
We were open and transparent from the first day of negotiations. We committed to bargaining in good faith, but the Medical Center's "must haves" were economic concessions from the Union on wages, the wage scale, a one-year wage freeze, a change to the pension plan to control runaway costs, and other core economic issues. Nothing has changed since then.
The Medical Center continues to face financial challenges, and nurse wage rates – still the highest in Pennsylvania – are a key factor. Pension and other retirement obligations also threaten to push us to the breaking point. Without an agreement on these issues, there can be no agreement on a contract.
PASNAP would rather have no contract than one with the necessary concessions.
Rather than engage in meaningful and honest bargaining over the economic issues, the Union has engaged in surface bargaining, delay tactics, double talk and endless, futile discussions leading nowhere.
Highlights of Final Offer.
On April 17, we gave the Union our "Last, Best, and Final Offer" Package and we said we would give them a reasonable time to consider it. Here is a summary:
- A five year contract, including a five-year guarantee of no reduction in incumbent RNs' current rates (red-circled rates);
- Continuation of step increases called for in the expired contract through June 8, 2015;
- A one-year wage freeze beginning June 9, 2015;
- A cost-competitive scale primarily for non-incumbent and less senior RNs with step increases for them and lump sum bonuses for eligible red-circled RNs;
- Entry of RNs into the proposed Crozer Choices Health Plan beginning May 1, 2015;
- Replacement of the Defined Benefit Pension by an enhanced Defined Contribution Retirement Plan as of July 1, 2015, a freeze of the Defined Benefit Pension, and an end to the costly Tax Sheltered Annuity Match, Retiree Medical and Life Insurance, and Payout of Sick Days to "grandfathered" nurses; and
- A Voluntary Lay-off Incentive Program with extended payments to December 31, 2015.
We also have other important proposals on a number of other issues, including, but not limited to weekends and elimination of certain pay premiums.
We intend to continue bargaining in good faith if the Union demonstrates a genuine interest in reaching an agreement that is economically viable for the Medical Center.

Lovely watercolor painting A few well chosen strokes building up an arm, I wish I could do that I only touched watercolor 2 times not counting the times I was a kid... But I don't let it flow and do what it wants despite the fact it's why I like watercolor... I need a more playful approach I guess.
April 19th, 2011 #245
Thank you Velocity Kendall, it really is appricated that you stopped by I strongly feel that way about watercolours, even still. I probably wrote that sometime ago
Hey Shinin ^^ You really should play with some watercolours I started out by just placing a few chosen splotches of colour here and there throughout my first moleskine. You learn to manipulate the paint over time, I still struggle with it immensely at times. I was out two days ago, and forgot the cold affects how watercolours dry... I was really bummed out because I had this nice landscape that I just had to colse the book on... The paint wouldn't dry >< It was so frustrating

In reaction to complaints from downtown business owners about vehicular parking, the city plans to install 13 or 14 one-hour-maximum pay meters on a section of West Federal Street, as long as city council agrees.
"The parking is horrible; it's killing the revitalization of downtown," said Richard Thomashow, owner of Jerry Lee's Jewelry in 20 Federal Place. "I'm 100 percent in favor of meters. But we need to have people patrol with more frequency for enforcement."
The city is digging holes for the meters on West Federal Street between Phelps and Market streets. The city-owned 20 Federal Place office building is in the heart of that area.
The problem, local business owners say, is employees who work downtown are parking in the area, moving every two hours — the limit to park in a spot downtown — to avoid getting a ticket. Also, there isn't much parking-limit enforcement later in the day and on the weekends, they said.
City council will consider legislation at its March 7 meeting to consider the meters, which would cost 75 cents for one hour with a one-hour limit, on that section of West Federal Street, said Charles Shasho, deputy director of the city public-works department. If council approves the proposal, the meters will be installed shortly thereafter, Shasho said.
"We're trying to benefit the local businesses on Federal Street and trying to provide more parking," he said. "Downtown workers are in those spots and just move around" to another spot after two hours.
"Parking meters are the only solution as long as they are more than a quarter," said Barry Silver, owner of Silver's Vogue Shop, across the street from 20 Federal Place. "I think 75 cents is fine because if someone has to move their car two or three times, they'll be paying about the same as they would for a parking lot. Downtown workers are taking away parking from me and other downtown businesses."
Silver said his business is being adversely impacted by downtown workers parking in spots near his shop. Some of the store's customers, Silver said, don't come downtown because they can't find a parking space.
The V2 Wine Bar Trattoria, located in the Federal Building on the corner of West Federal and Phelps streets, will start offering valet parking to its customers Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights in a few weeks, said Ed Moses, a co-owner.
"There's not enough parking downtown," he said. "People don't want to walk." With valet service, "people won't have to worry about finding parking downtown."
V2 will park their customers' cars in a lot behind the Federal Building.
V2's owners are deciding whether the service will be free or if they'll charge a nominal fee of $1 to $2 per vehicle, Moses said.
Just watch an episode of " PARKING WARS." You will get a whole new picture of how things will be run.
If the current limit is 2 hours then make the meters 2 hours. I hate parking meters and just having them will tend to make me go out of downtown for lunch.
The employees that are hogging these parking spots are VXI. Lets not pretend we don`t know who they are. They are the same ones the city lets smoke in front of 20 Federal.
People you are downtown ya know walking a little bit won't hurt you.

Corporation council may discuss resolution cancelling allotment
A resolution cancelling the allotment of a Chennai Corporation building in Kolathur that is being used as MLA's office by DMK leader M.K.Stalin is to be placed before the civic body's Council.
The 200-member council, which has 168 AIADMK members, is likely to discuss the issue at its meeting on Thursday. Sources in the Corporation said since the Council meeting scheduled on Wednesday would adjourn after making obituary references, another meeting would be convened on Thursday.
A government order cancelling the allotment of the building, located on the campus of a Chennai School in Jawahar Nagar, was issued on November 8.
The reason cited in the GO was that the building was originally meant for "educational purpose."
On December 16, the Corporation Standing committee gave its approval for cancellation of the allotment.
The building measuring 1,150 sq ft was allotted by the previous Corporation Council and a resolution to this effect was passed on June 29.
Mr. Stalin inaugurated the MLA's office building on July 16 following his victory against Mayor Saidai.S.Duraisamy in the Kolathur constituency.
The building had housed an office of the Scouts and Guides movement till 2001 after which it remained vacant.
The ground measuring 1.11 acre was being used as a camp site by the Scouts and Guide movement. The office of the Scout and Guide movement was shifted to a vacant primary school building, with built-up area of 4,500 sq ft, on the same premises.
After an office-bearer of a residential association of Jawahar Nagar objected to the use of the building as MLA office, the then Mayor M. Subramanian sought the opinion of the Council again on August 29. The council, in which DMK had an overwhelming majority, had passed a special resolution in support of the MLA office continuing to be in the same building.

Casa Blanca is certainly one of the most desirable houses in Mal Pais/Santa Teresa with a magnificent 22 meter infinity pool, outdoor BBQ/Dining patio, separate outdoor Covered Pool Patio, Private Massage/Yoga Cabin, and gardens throughout..... and WIFI throughout with Hi Speed Satellite Internet. And we cater to our clients by providing a Concierge Service that will arrange any and all needs during your stay.
Whether you want to swim laps or just drift in the pool, you will enjoy the serenity and quiet Villa Casa Blanca has to offer.... and with the sound of nature at your doorstep.
Casa Blanca is a very modern two-story house with four spacious bedrooms (all with amazing views) and three exquisite, Italian-tiled bathrooms - all the modern conveniences and designer touches that make each room something very special.
This modern house is just 1/2 km (5 minutes) from the Mar Azul Beach perched on the hilltop allowing you total tranquility with the most breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean. Walk up to the third story Roof Terrace (complete with mini-bar) where you can sit and watch the monkeys and reach up and touch the fluffy clouds gently flowing overhead - and at night pluck the stars from the sky.
The House: We were one of the featured houses for 2012 in Central/South America for the Best Design. We are very proud of our architects - Isobel and Rebecca!
The Area: Mal Pais has a wonderful private Swedish Beach nestled quietly next to the Cabo Blanca National Park Entrance. So, if you want to find that secluded beach, this is the place to go. But, there are many other beaches along the coast and each with it's own qualities: Playa Carmen, Playa Mar Azul, Playa Hermosa, Playa Santa Teresa, and Playa Manzanillo.
Just nearby is the Mal Pais Fishing Village where you can either get a boat and go fishing yourself or simply enjoy that catches of the day.... very fresh and tasty and the fishermen will prepare your fish for you.
There are plenty of local restaurants and grocery stores (about 6 - 8 pending season) to choose from. We also have an Organic Market every Saturday afternoon at Playa Carmen.
And of course the beaches are the best in Costa Rica (voted recently). Long, empty stretches of beaches with the best waves for beginners to intermediates. There are fantastic natural tide pools where you can relax and enjoy the warm waters of Costa Rica in peace.
The dining experience of the area ranges from typical Tico food to very special restaurants that serve a fantastic variety of cuisine. We can provide you with a complete list of restaurants in the area. It changes from season to season so be sure to ask the Caretaker (or us) for the latest and greatest.
Activities: You will find an endless amount of things to choose from: Surfing, Swimming, Yoga, Paddle Boarding, Massage, Tai Chai, Capoiera, Hiking in the National Park, Zip Lining above the Montezuma Waterfalls, cliff diving at the Waterfalls, Tortuga Island where you can snorkel and scuba dive, fishing (fantastic and amazing fish), and much, much more.
I work in the film industry between London and Los Angeles. Mal Pais attracted me after one visit. The peacefulness, the people, the ocean vistas, the long empty beaches... and the list goes on.
Mal Pais became the obvious choice to escape from work and enter into a paradise where one can reconnect with oneself and enjoy life without the daily stresses of living in a major city.
Michael Solinger - Owner purchased this villa in 2008
The moment I stepped onto the 'plantel', I knew this was it. With amazing ocean vistas, cool breezes, located just next to the National Park. I wanted to find a location that wouldn't be overtaken by future developments, that would retain the beauty of the jungle, that would respect nature whilst building something eco-friendly.
I wanted to create an oasis of paradise with amazing vistas.... and to create a modern, clean home with simple use of concrete and glass (the sea element is harsh on buildings as are termites). So, we created a very clean and modern structure which emphasized the views of the Pacific Ocean and the Cabo Blanco National Park. Beyond that, we wanted to create a home for visitors that would offer all modern conveniences (screen doors, sealed rooms, air-con, modern appliances, fantastic lighting).... and a 22m Lap Pool to exercise, and a Massage/Yoga Cabina to escape. We extended the garden so that those who stay with us can escape to private areas and enjoy the sound of the waves, the sound of the jungle - and the many animals and birds.
Sun, sea, pool, views, beaches! What more :) This Villa give you complete tranquility with amazing vistas in your own private Paradise. It offers you a kitchen/dining environment overlooking the Pacific Ocean. It's a great place to cook, enjoy friends and views. There are many places on the grounds to escape to (Massage Cabina, Lower Garden, Private Jungle Garden, Nature Trail and more).
What a great experience thanks to Eduardo and his family. Too easy to live the real Pura Vida. Hard to go back! What else to say?
Big thanks Phil and Fred
March 30 -31, 2011
What a great experience. Guillaume and Kellie
Casa Blanca is simply amazing. My wife and I had an incredible time. The views are ridiculous and the infinity pool was amazing. The house has everything you can possibly ask for or want. I miss waking up to that view. The house is very clean and the care takers are unbelievably helpful. The sound system and the media room were also great bonuses. We really can't wait to go back.
Make sure you take a trip to the grocery store before you arrive, because you won't want to leave. My wife and I spent two nights and had a wonderful time. The house is totally set up. We both spent most of the time in the super refreshing infinity pool. The house is gorgeous, but the deck and pool is where it's at. We had a full moon during our stay, and we enjoyed sitting out in the evening sky on the deck. There is a really nice projector/movie room with dish cable, movies, etc. We never even turned it on. The view crushes anything we could have watched on the screen. Our entire time was relaxing and everything was perfect. We will definitely return, and hope to stay a bit longer next time. Thank You!
Casa Blanca met all of our expectations and served as a perfect hub for a relaxing group vacation on the beach in Costa Rica!
The hosts: Michael was a truly gracious host; answering all of our questions with prompt and thorough responses, providing maps and a guide to the house and the area in advance of our visit and check-in emails upon arrival and departure. Davie and Lisbeth, the property's caretakers, gave us a warm welcome and arranged for many of our activities during our stay (snorkeling trip, guided birdwatching, massages, etc.). The dinner they prepared for us was easily one of our favorites of the entire trip.
The house: the pictures are an accurate representation of the home and we all smiled from ear to ear upon arrival, and during every subsequent day of our stay. It's hard to tear yourself away from the pool deck and hammock, but catching a sunset from the roofdeck is recommended. Better yet- set an alarm and do some late night/early morning star gazing from the roofdeck; you will not be disappointed! There isn't a bad room in the house. While the jungle bedroom does not have a directly attached bathroom, the jungle-facing windows allow for the most beautiful morning light and sunrises, and shade in the afternoon that makes it a perfect refuge for a nap.
The town: we loved taking advantage of the local fishermen and making ceviche with fresh catches was a daily event. The beaches are lovely and sparsely populated; great for walks, surfing, and lounging. Everyone we met was incredibly friendly and made us feel right at home. The roads in town are likely rougher than what you're accustomed to and the road to the house is not for the faint of heart; but the reward at the top is well worth it!
We highly recommend this property for your next vacation.
Casa Blanca is luxurious, unique, and magical retreat. This is our third time renting it, and we honestly feel like it has become our home away from home. The house is equipped with everything you need, from the awesome kitchen with every appliance and kitchen tool available, to luxurious bed sheets and countless towels, yoga mats, movies, outdoor kitchen and bbq, and many many more. The ocean and jungle views, infinity pool, modern design, gorgeous garden, numerous outdoor lounging and dining areas, and stunning outdoor landscaping, make this place a true paradise.
Every year we return and find that the house is maintained impeccably, and there are also new improvements to accommodate the guests' stay. The young couple that takes care of the property is wonderful. They do an awesome job cleaning and maintaining the place like a five-star hotel, they can arrange taxi transportation, and even can make homemade breakfast or dinner for you.
We travel all over the world and stay in many luxurious places, and Casa Blanca still remains our favorite place in the world. We can't wait to be back there soon.
There is nothing about this property that is not legitimate in every way. The photos do not do it justice and they are amazing! The home has everything you need and then some! We took are 4 grown children and we all the time of our life! Michael is one truly amazing person, his flexibility and sincerity and character show thru in everything he does and the work he has put into this home is truly a labor of love! We have never traveled outside the U.S. so this whole experience was new to us, and Michael had such incredible patience. We emailed him so many times with questions and he responded immediately every time. In some instances he just called and always made us feel important. The next thing you need to know when you get there, his caretakers (David & Lizbeth) are two of the most amazing people I have ever met in my life, they treated us better than we deserved! We have added them to our family! We all cried when we left them especially my wife! You should definitely let them cook for you at least once, they are amazing cooks! David set up everything we wanted to do and he knows everyone! We were very nervous obviously being rookie travelers and he always was watching out for us! Costa Rica is an amazing place and this home is not a typical place, we spent several days just listing to music, cooking at the house and playing in the pool and it was so special! Our night sitting around the beautiful circle table and having dinner were priceless. My name is Cliff Crabtree and I live in Raleigh, NC, that should be enough for your to find me if you don't believe my review. Call me anytime! Michael, thank you will be back soon
Everything you could expect of the house and more. The view is incredible with a great house to just relax and enjoy. The house is in great condition and you can find almost everything you need for cooking at the house. This will be my new go to place in Malpais. Thx for a beautiful home.

CYCLING: Banned star Jonathan Tiernan-Locke says key blood sample was ignored by UK Anti-Doping
Posted: August 28, 2014|
BANNED cyclist Jonathan Tiernan-Locke says that a key blood sample, taken for Team Sky only 48 hours after the test which led to his two-year suspension, strongly indicates his innocence – but the UK Anti-Doping agency dismissed it.
South Devon's former Tour of Britain winner insists that he is and always has been 'clean' of any banned substances or methods.
And he has never failed any drug test.
But a two-year ban, for alleged use of the EPO drug and/or 'blood doping', was ratified by UKAD and cycle racing's ruling body, UCI, last week.

CYCLING: Who will win the Tour of Britain?
Yet the UKAD panel's report also confirmed the fact that on September 24, the day after the World Championships and only two days after the UCI test, Tiernan-Locke gave another sample 'at the request of Team Sky'.
It was analysed at the Central Manchester University Hospital.
The analysis was not carried out under the UCI's 'passport' programme, but UKAD admit: "There is no reason to question its accuracy."
That test showed Tiernan-Locke's blood levels returning to normal, and Team Sky were happy enough with the findings to sign him to a two-year contract shortly afterwards.
Yet UKAD then say: "The (UCI) experts are only permitted under the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) operating guidelines to take into account results obtained from analyses conducted under the ABP (passport) programme."
Tiernan-Locke reports: "The September 24 test was a key piece of evidence for us which was dismissed.
"That sample showed that the one test in question was just an anomaly from acute dehydration amongst other things.
"And in a doping scenario, you certainly wouldn't have seen the values return to normal for possibly weeks, not 48 hours."
Tiernan-Locke, 29, the former star of Kingsteignton-based Mid-Devon CC, says he can't take the fight to clear his name any further, because he cannot afford to. He claimed that the abnormal blood values, from the sample taken between his Tour of Britain win and his strong ride in the World Road Race Championships in Holland in September 2012, were caused by the effects of an ill-timed drinks session two days before the test and resulting dehydration.
UKAD accepted that the night-out could have caused his abnormal blood levels, but they refused to believe that he didn't rehydrate, by drinking water, before he took the test.
Tiernan-Locke also revealed that he had asked the UCI why, in the wake of their 2012 test, they had not ordered immediate 'target-testing' of him – to identify any anomalies and then use further tests to detect if he was breaking the rules, rather than suspend him on suspicion.
His next test was more than two months later.
"The UCI had no good response, and could not explain why I was not tested in the period following the Worlds," he said.
"We argued that, if they had done that, I would likely not be in this position."
Tiernan-Locke's latest evidence raises further doubts about the way his case, based on a single blood sample rather than the usual range, was handled and the reliability of the 'passport' programme.
His two-year ban is also longer than those handed down to several other professional riders who have been found guilty of taking performance-enhancing drugs.
As things stand, Tiernan-Locke will not be allowed to race or train with a UCI-accredited team until January 2016.

Andy Haste, former chief executive of More Than insurance group RSA, said the business needed to undergo "significant change" even though this would hit profits in the short term.
His appointment comes weeks after Wonga agreed with regulators that it would pay £2.6 million in compensation after chasing struggling customers with fake legal letters to pressurise them into paying up.
Mr Haste said the company, which has been criticised by MPs over interest rates of more than 5,000%, must review rates, fees and charges and no be seen as targeting "the young and the vulnerable".
He said: "This is a sector and Wonga is a company that needs to go through significant change if it is to have a sustainable future.
"Some serious mistakes have been made. The company admitted those mistakes and it has apologised for those mistakes.
"Wonga has understandably faced a lot of criticism and I know that we need to repair our reputation and regain our right to be an accepted part of the financial services sector."
The new chairman pointed to the rapid growth of the company, which has more than a million customers after being founded seven years ago to explain how "some of our systems, our processes, our controls, haven't kept pace".
Mr Haste said a review of its customer base and products would ensure it was "only lending to people who can reasonably afford our loans".

JLS have announced that they are splitting after five years together.
No longer a picture of JLS, this is now just four pals posing for a photo *sobs*. Copyright: [Wenn]
Excuse us, while we pick our jaws up off the keyboard.
The boys, who shot to fame coming second to Alexandra Burke in the 2008 series of X Factor, reckon the time has come for them to call it a day.
To clarify, when we went to bed JLS existed.
This morning, they are no more.
Quite honestly, this will take a while to sink in.
They say that while they will always be the best of friends, sadly JLS is over.
Aston Merrygold, 25, told The Sun: "It's just that time. We are still best of friends and always will be - but this is the end."
JLS hanging out with omg!, excuse us while we have a little nostalgic cry. Copyright: [omg!]
Marvin Humes, 28, added: "We wanted to finish on a high. We're finishing with an arena tour - our third arena tour - and that is a massive achievement."
So yes, their tour this summer will actually be a farewell tour and they also plan to release a greatest hits album around the same time.
"The last five or so years have been nothing short of incredible. It has been an incredible journey," Marvin added.
In a message on their website they said: "To each and every JLSter, our beloved fans around the world. We wanted to make sure that you heard it from the four of us, that we have decided to bring our time as a band to an end.
"It has been the most incredible journey over the last six years and we have achieved more things than we could have ever dreamed possible.
"Thanks to all of you guys, your support, your dedication and your love, you have changed our lives forever and we wouldn't be where we are today without you."
"We will always remain brothers and friends and we will always be your boys."
We're not sure pop will ever be the same without a JLS in it.
During their time together, the lads have enjoyed a massive ten Top 10 hits, including five No.1 singles.
The band have also bagged countless awards for their amazingness, including two Brit Awards for British Breakthough and British Single in 2010.
Boys, it's been amazing and we really will miss you.

If anyone has any additional info, I'd be glad to hear it!
I would call the Coast Guard and get their answer to this question. I know my license reads "Master of power and steam" The sailing endorsement is just that an endorsement to the license you earn with your time on a boat with "axillary power"
I would not be surprised if the CG would disallow a boat without mechanical propulsion.

Bike And Pedestrian Access Could Breathe Life Into 'Underused' Metro Stations
Wednesday, March 19, 2014 - 04:51 PM
As Metro works to sell the public on the necessity of spending billions to expand its rail system in the coming decades, the transit authority is also trying to get the most out of its existing capacity, especially on the eastern side of the system, a project whose price tag is in the millions, not billions. That's because building sidewalks is a lot cheaper than building underground tunnels and new rail lines.
Regional transportation planners at the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments are launching a study to determine how to make 25 "underutilized" Metro stations more accessible to pedestrians and bicyclists, work that overlaps with Metro's research into exploiting excess capacity during the reverse commute: morning rush hour trains heading into D.C. are usually packed; trains heading out of the city into the suburbs are often empty by comparison. The reason is that many suburban stations, particularly in Prince George's County, lack office development and employment centers within a mile's walk or bike ride, and the areas surrounding some of these stations lack sidewalks and bike lanes, too.
The 25 stations were also picked because the vicinities are "anticipating employment growth in the near-term future and/or have significant transit-dependent populations living in close proximity," according to the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB).
"In some cases there may be gaps in the sidewalks, maybe the crosswalks aren't as safe as they could be, or maybe there is a great grid system but there are no bike lanes to accommodate folks who might be able to ride their bike to work," said the TPB's Sarah Crawford.
"Some of the stations already have the employment in place, so let's get the infrastructure in place to get people to those sites. At other stations there is potential for development, but before it actually opens let's make sure infrastructure is in place so people can get to those jobs without automatically relying on their cars," she added.
Eight of the stations are in the District of Columbia. Maryland's Prince George's County has five, while Montgomery County has four. In Virginia, Fairfax County has three, Arlington and Alexandria have two each, and one is in Prince William County.
Increasing access could increase ridership
The lack of office development around the stations in Prince George's County is a significant obstacle to drawing more reverse commuters. The immediate vicinity around Prince George's Plaza station, for instance, has two large parking garages, some apartment complexes and a mall—but no large office buildings.
"Development is happening very slowly. They are building up but I don't feel, considering the population here, it is up to standard at all," said Khiana Jenkins, a mother of four who lives nearby.
She sees the empty trains returning from D.C.
"Especially if you are coming back around lunch time, there is nobody on the train. Are we paying taxes on transit that is not being utilized?" Jenkins says.
Metro does not want to be in the business of running empty trains. The transit authority's internal data show the way to exploit such excess capacity is to augment the pedestrian and biking networks around stations, even more so than to build more parking garages.
"We find that when we experiment with different levels of pedestrian access, we can increase ridership...by up to 15 percent and that is a very low cost way to get cars off the road and people onto the transit network," said Shyam Kannan, who heads Metro's office of planning.
Only 45 percent of the real estate is accessible by foot within a half-mile radius of Prince George's Plaza, Kannan said. At the other end of the spectrum are stations in urban environments with plenty of sidewalks. Tenleytown station's figure is 95 percent.
Another comparison that illustrates the importance of "walkability" is Takoma versus Landover, Kannan said. Takoma station on the Red Line has 6,000 riders per day, thanks to its robust sidewalks. But the Landover station, where only 20 percent of the real estate is accessible by foot within a half-mile radius, has only 2,000 riders per day despite the presence of "thousands of parking spaces."
"In station areas where we have great pedestrian environments, even if they have much less parking, the ridership is much, much higher," he said.
Studies first step in local collaboration
Both Metro and the TPB want their respective studies to provide a foundation for collaborative work with the jurisdictions where the 25 stations are located. Neither organization is in the real estate development or sidewalk/bike lane construction business. They cannot decide unilaterally where to locate the necessary office space near the stations and whether to build adequate walking/biking infrastructure for commuters once they get off their trains.
"The choice is clear," Kannan said. "We can either keep pouring billions and billions of dollars into these new extensions of transit – Silver Line, Purple Line, streetcars – or we can build lots of sidewalks. We end up with the same result in terms of transit mode share."
Metro is not going to reverse its ban against bringing bicycles aboard rush hour trains, but Kannan said the underused stations would benefit from bike share docks.

From Washington DC all the way up to roughly Boston (and maybe all other smaller cities in between), public transportation routes in these cities no matter how large or small the city may be, must be extended and argmented to the point that overcrowding problems will one day be releaved. Nobody in New York City for example, wants to give light rail or trolley service a chance fearing permenent traffic problems and yet we all face the same type of traffic and public transit overcrowing problems every day and there is only talk or complants being made and nothing more. Financial problems may have something to do with this mess but, sooner or later, dedacated funds are going to have to be made for these transit projects before sombody gets hurt or even killed because of transit mismanagement.B
This is smart planning, but DC also needs more core capacity, i.e. new tunnels through the downtown area.

The gameplay is solid as a rock (the Q3 physics are allmost left intact) and it never gets boring.
