By JAY REED
It'Äôs not so much a question 'ÄĒ more of an assumption, really, that the time I devote to writing about food, talking about food, and seeking out food must reflect a lot of active time in the kitchen.¬†And while I may have accidentally turned out a tolerable dish or two, here is the full disclosure: I am not a chef.¬† If you peek in my basket at the grocery store, you might imagine it is the makings of a five-star dinner, but it could just as easily be the ingredients for culinary disaster.¬†The truth is that I really enjoy cooking, but I make no claims regarding proficiency.¬†I do try, however, and on most days off I block out some time to play with my food.
Recently, on one of those proverbial off days, I recruited a couple of sous chefs (short of stature but full of energy) to help me do a little recipe development. Younger Brother's offspring were over from North Carolina to spend a couple of weeks with Doc and Gran, and it didn't take long for the conversation to turn to cupcakes. I had recently been fiddling with a cupcake recipe, and asked if they would be interested in making them sometime during their stay. Given the rolling of eyes I often get from my own daughter when I suggest cooking something outside of her five-dish menu, their enthusiastic response was heartening.
The following week I invited them over for a day of cooking.¬†On the menu was homemade ketchup (America'Äôs favorite vegetable), baked cheesy breadsticks, and banana bread cupcakes with peanut butter frosting. The chosen recipe for the ketchup involved a Crock Pot and many hours, so we began there.¬†The first directions were to crush tomatoes between our fingers.¬†I thought this sounded like fun, and I was mostly right.¬†I squeezed the first one over the Crock-Pot as a demonstration; most of it went in the pot.¬†The rest shot through my fingers and dotted each of us with a bit of tomato sauce.¬†After a timeout for cleanup, the nieces donned aprons and began to squeeze 'ÄĒ this time a little deeper in the pot.¬†Once the tomatoes were crushed, the onion and garlic chopped (by the adult), and the spices measured, Niece One and Niece Two took turns adding everything to the pot and we let the Crock Pot do its thing.¬†
Next on the menu were the cupcakes. Around the Fourth of July this year, I took a Pillsbury banana bread mix and transformed it into a cupcake concoction that even impressed the wife. I wish I could say that it was really complicated and took hours of skilled handiwork. It wasn't; it didn't. I started with the cupcake conversion recipe on the side of the box, and followed the recipe with only a few special touches. With the nieces, we started with their mashing of a banana. For this job I provided a fork; the thrill of squishing food with their fingers had been exhausted with the tomatoes. The recipe did not call for a banana, but I felt guilty making a banana-flavored confection without any bona fide banana mixed in. After that, it was pretty much just a matter of pouring and stirring the remaining ingredients, the nieces sweetly taking turns to complete the 75 strokes. (Yes, sweetly. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.)  We then distributed the batter into foil baking cups printed with a montage of monkeys and bananas, because after all, presentation is everything.
While the cupcakes baked we worked on our cheese sticks.¬†Or bread sticks with cheese.¬†Or stuffed pizza crust without the rest of the pizza. I didn'Äôt have a name for these, just an idea.¬†The idea was to roll string cheese in pizza dough, spray with olive oil, cover in panko crumbs, spray again, then bake.¬†Simple, and much less oil than frying.¬†Very healthy.¬†I told the nieces the idea and gave them the task of coming up with a name for our creation.¬†They conferred and settled on 'ÄúCheese Stick-Ors'ÄĚ.¬†They could not give me an explanation, and we didn'Äôt even try to determine the proper spelling.¬†I rolled and cut the dough, they rolled the cheese inside; I rolled in panko and sprayed, they carefully arranged placement on the baking sheet.¬†More full disclosure: this idea looked much better in my imagination than in my oven. Cheesy goodness escaped from every pore of the Stick-Ors, some bubbling out balloon-style, some oozing out from all the places we'Äôd worked so hard to seal.¬†We still ate them for lunch, but next time the deep fryer will be involved.¬†
Just before lunch it was time to blend the ketchup. Given that hot tomato sauce whirling at a rapid rate could be dangerous for children, I did the blending while the Nieces observed. From that point it was just a matter of stirring it every half hour for the rest of the afternoon until it reached ketchup consistency. As for the cupcakes, once cooled, we began to frost. In lieu of the maple cream cheese frosting recipe on the side of the box, I substituted peanut butter for about one-third of the cream cheese and swapped honey for the maple syrup. The nieces piped it on the cupcakes in a variety of styles (they'd done that part before, likely using a real piping bag instead of the snipped Ziplock I provided), and we sprinkled on shards of old fashioned peanut butter logs that they had beaten to smithereens earlier in the day.
At dinner we invited Doc and Gran to come and test the ketchup. Niece One liked it on her French fries but not on her chicken nuggets. Niece Two? Well, she had fun making it but made a face when I asked her how it was on her fries. Daughter tried it and said it was sweet but good. I'll take that.

Don't waste your money
After my husband assembled this piece, the baskets had holes in them from being poorly woven, and they don't fit we'll into the drawer space. They also do not flow smoothly in and out of the drawer space. It is flimsy, poorly made, and the wood is finished so poorly you could get a splinter. Don't waste your time or money...it's awful.Read More
Not too bad for the money
I would say this unit is not too bad for the money. I got it for about 62 bucks. This unit is a reasonable size and it really was not hard to put together but it is missing the holes on the front bottom panel. I bought two and both were missing the same holes. just need to have someone drill tiny holes to attach the panel. I haven't managed to get my someone to do that yet but the unit functions fine without them. It is not something I would put a heavy item on top of or even some that I cared if it got knocked over and broken. Would not recommend to people with children as I think they would pull it over trying to open the drawers. It is a weird gray not gray and not green may a camouflaged green would describe it best.Read More
Basket storage
It's cute and so much nicer than plastic drawer storage which is what I was replacing. I am not great at putting things together but the instructions were good and the only reason I am giving it a four star instead of a 5 star is because it was missing one screw. Luckily I had one that worked so no big deal. All in all very happy with purchase.Read More

Source: Pershing Square Capital Management
NB: This is not a form of solicitation and returns are NOT guaranteed. All investments entail risk and the potential for substantial loss.
US housing, in my opinion, offers a great long-term opportunity. I know this probably sounds a bit crazy as most people think the US housing market is getting worse and has not begun to recover from its epic binge. It has taken this asset class a great deal of time to find any semblance of stability. There are many US housing bears who will NEVER change their opinion on this asset, but let me explain why now is probably a once in a lifetime opportunity to think about buying US residential real estate.
First the bear case and negative spin. Five years into the housing collapse, 28 percent of US mortgages are underwater. Another seven percent or so are delinquent and about 10 percent of houses have been foreclosed on. Essentially 45 percent of the US mortgage market is in a state of stress.
Prices have continued to stagnate and are now down 40 percent from their peak of five years ago. New home construction has pretty much vanished. Sales of new homes had a record peak of 1.3 million units in 2005. The US is now on pace to sell just 289,000 units the lowest count since 1963 (which is as far back as I can see on Bloomberg). Building homes does not even make economic sense in some areas as the cost to build actually exceeds the cost of buying an existing model.
Terrible right? In this case I believe all this bad is actually good. Housing in America is cheap and one can assess this in many ways:
l According to real estate firm Zillow, if one looks at price-to-income trends housing looks very favourable in some areas. At the bubble peak, housing was over five times income but now a lot of metro areas are below pre-bubble pricing levels. Las Vegas for example is 25 percent below its historical trend and Detroit is about 35 percent below. Many metro areas are 10 percent below or more. In an April report by Economics Capital, Paul Dales mentioned: "Relative to historical norms, the sharp price falls of the last five years have left the owner-occupied housing market looking around five percent undervalued compared with rents and around 20 percent undervalued compared with both disposable income per capita and disposable income per employee. Against incomes, at no point in the last 35 years has housing looked this undervalued."
l Who cares, say the gold bugs. Until you look at housing priced in gold. The median priced new home in the US when priced in gold has never been cheaper in some 50 years. You have to go back to 1979 to find housing this cheap on a national basis.
l The rental market is expanding rapidly and it is not uncommon for property managers to get 8-12 percent yields on investment properties now. Reis, an apartment market research firm, reports second-quarter vacancy rates at the lowest level since 2008, while average rents have risen 2.3 percent. In fact, according to Deutsche Bank, we are now seeing for the first time in the last two decades that renting a home costs US households MORE than paying a mortgage.
l Due to an attractive combination of record low rates and slumping prices, housing is more affordable than it has been for over a generation. The National Association of Realtors' National Housing Affordability Index shows record levels of affordability. If one brings up the chart, housing has NEVER been this affordable as far back as the data set goes on Bloomberg.
One great way to snap up bargains is to be a vulture. If there is ever an opportune time to purchase any asset on the cheap it can often be found in times of stress when there are a great deal of forced sellers (think credit in the 2008-2009 financial crisis). US housing is still in this stage. According to RealtyTrac's second quarter 2011 Foreclosure Sales Report, "sales of homes that were in some stage of foreclosure or bank owned accounted for 31 percent of all U.S. residential sales in the second quarter of 2011".
Foreclosures that sell for 30-40 percent less than non-distressed homes may offer big bargains. "With average prices on distressed real estate trending down and average discounts trending up, this report is clearly good news for well-positioned buyers and investors looking for bargain real estate that will build them wealth in the long term and often give them cash flow as rental real estate in the short term," said James Saccacio chief executive officer of RealtyTrac. A continued shift of these assets from weak hands to strong hands should help put a floor on the overall market and provide some stability.
Let's look at supply versus demand. Bears will point out the huge level of "shadow inventory" sitting out there houses in the foreclosure process or delinquent homeowners that do not at this stage have houses up for sale. They argue that great waves of these types of houses are yet to hit the market. To some extent this is true but we have now gone through a prolonged period of exceptionally low levels of new construction that somewhat offsets this. Remember that housing starts are now at levels not seen in 50 years!
Let's also consider the longer term demand picture. If we assume the population of the US will grow to about 360 million people by 2030 (US Census Bureau Projection with constant net migration) and ownership rates remain virtually constant, the US will need about one million new single-family homes per year. With new starts at roughly half of this it is only a matter of time before the excess supply is absorbed.
I am also going to show you the mathematical attractiveness of this asset from recent calculations done by Pershing Square Capital Management, LP (see presentation: http://cache.dealbreaker.com/uploads/2010/12/Pershing-Sq.-pres-on-housing-11-3-10.pdf ). Using their assumptions of a 20 percent down-payment with a 30-year fixed rate of 4.4 percent the table shows the economics of even modest appreciation over ten years.
Of course if housing continues to stagnate the reverse of these calculations is possible.
I do not advocate rushing out and aggressively trying to buy houses. The housing market is very illiquid and will not turn on a dime. There are definitely structural issues in housing that will prevent any form of a rapid rebound, in my opinion. However, I do believe it is now time to make that shopping list and with the help of your banker and financial planner begin the process of snooping around for some once in a generation deals. Properly bought units may offer satisfactory returns over the next ten years in an asset class very much out of favour.

Dubai Mall and Camel Riding!
Well after being awake from 2.30am, Allan finally stirred around 6am (not that late really!), so we left motel around 8am to go to Dubai Mall which wasn't opening until 10m. Some Australians we met yesterday said the Taxi cost around $11, so that sounded cheaper than the metro for both of us, so we thought we would try it. The meter kept ticking over until it reached $30. Then we realised that they had meant $Aust. Tho taxi was still around $12 NZ so that ...

Arrived at Dubai airport at 5.30am, negotiated customs and after finding out the Metro doesn't start running until 1:00 pm on Fridays (weekend) we caught a cab ($14aud half hr ride- cheap as!) to our humble abode for the next 3 nights at Fortune Deira Hotel ($80aud p/n- very pricey!!as only very basic/ no breakfast).

Projects that have crochet and knitting together can blossom into beautiful things, like this Blooming Spring Hat from Lindsay Obermeyer. Who doesn't love colorful spring hats? With flowers and leaves topping this beanie, you'll be in the spirit of spring in no time!
- 1 Skein Manos (or other worsted weight yarn) in color #70
- Assorted bits of pink, red and green yarn from previous projects
- 1 16" #9 Circular needle
- 1 Set of #9 double points (you could do the whole project on double points)
- 1 G crochet hook (or size to match assorted bits of pink and red)
- 1 Set of straight knitting needles in size to work the green leaves
- 1 Tapestry needle
- Stitch markers
- Scissors
- 4 stitches to the inch
- 6 rows to the inch
- On #9 needle using Manos
Directions for Hat:
- Cast on 80 stitches and join circle.
- Add a stitch marker to mark beginning and end of round.
- Work in Garter Stitch for first inch. Remember that Garter in the round is - *K a round, purl a round* repeat from * to * for one inch.
- Switch to Stockinette Stitch and continue for 4 more inches. In the round, this means you are just knitting.
- On final round of the body, place stitch markers every 10 sts.
- Decrease round is worked as a K2tog after every stitch marker.
- Knit the next round. You will continue working a decrease round and then knitting a round until you have only 8 stitches left. At some point, around 40 stitches, you will want to switch to double pointed needles as the crown of the hat is too small to continue working on a circular needle.
- With 8 stitches left, cut a long tail and pull it through the remaining stitches. Pull firmly and weave in all tails.
Directions for Flowers:
- Chain 21 stitches. Leave a long tail.
- Turn, skip 2 sts.
- Double crochet 3 times in the next stitch.
- Continue working a DC 3 times in each stitch. The piece will begin to form a corkscrew.
- When only 5 stitches remain, work a DC in the next stitch and the rest in a half double crochet. Bind off.
- Leave a long tail.
Directions for Leaves (you will be working the leaves in Garter Stitch):
- Cast on 1 stitch. Leave a long tail.
- Work an increase – 2 stitches.
- Work an increase in both stitches – 4 stitches.
- Work an increase in the end stitches – 6 stitches.
- Knit for 3 rows.
- Work an SSK (slip, slip, knit) on the right side and a K2tog on the left – 4 stitches.
- Work an SSK (slip, slip, knit) on the right side and a K2tog on the left – 2 stitches.
- K2tog. Cut tail and pull through final stitch. Work in this tail, but leave the other.
- Open up the first corkscrew / flower. Use one of the tails and stitch the corkscrew into a spiral / rosette formation onto the crown of the hat. Bring tail to back of work (hat crown) and tie to first tail. Work in ends.
- Continue until all "flowers" are attached.
- Sew on leaves where needed visually. Work in tails.

Im all in!!!
Hi there. First time trying something like this so here goes. My life has always been about family and friends. I love to be with either. Its just myself and my sister nowadays (immediate family...parents retired overseas) and friends are in Orange County so it's been a challenge to spend time with them. I'm really easy going and up for most of everything. I am excited to learn new things and adventures. I'm down for grabbing a nice meal and a drink out but I definitely appreciate down time at home with my partner...doing everything and nothing. I like most of every sport...pretty compettetive. (Grew up sports fan...my dad was a pro basketball player in the phillipines) Football and basketball are at the top. GO NINERS!!! I do play golf, go snowboarding in the winter and wakeboarding in the summer. I'm ultimately looking for that special someone that I can share life with. Someone that can be comfortable either serious or laid back...I believe life requires both. Same interests are great but there is something to be said about learning something new from someone else. Relationships are always a give and take. I believe in chemistry and that certain feeling you get (inexplicable) when you are around someone. That feeling when your eyes meet and you can just stare into each other and feel that you are communicating. With that said, I would prefer to actually meet on a date rather than go back and forth via email. Good Luck on your search!!!

How did three Danes end up being tortured in Lebanon?
At 15 Omar went to Guantanamo. Here's his story
Sara Hassan | 14 Sep 2013 20:32 GMT | US & Canada, Bangladesh, Canada, India
What once was her right arm is now just a stub lying limp next to her torso. She sits with a far-away look in her eyes and a sad smile. Morium Begum was working inside Rana Plaza when it collapsed, in what has been dubbed the deadliest garment factory accident in history.
"I was stuck in the rubble for three days," said the 30-year-old. "There were about 10 of us in one place. At first, no-one outside could hear us. We couldn't tell if it was night or day. I could feel the blood falling from my arm. It was already severed and hanging by the skin."
More than 1,000 people died, and a further 2,000 were injured, on April 24 in the Savar sub-district of Bangladesh's capital, Dhaka. The scale of the accident prompted a massive rescue effort and tremendous media attention, but many questions remain about where the responsibility for such calamities lies, and if anything has really changed.
On Saturday, the Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association (BGMEA) took part in a workshop ahead of a meeting with the North American Alliance for Bangladesh Workers Safety. The collaborated effort aims to create an Alliance Accord and a National Action Plan to come up with common standards to implement across all garment factories in Bangladesh. The workshop was attended by the Secretaries of Bangladesh's Ministries of Labour, Foreign Affairs, and Commerce, as well as an official from Alliance and the US ambassador to Bangladesh.
Factory owners
On that fateful morning, Begum says they were not supposed to be at work. The factory had been closed early the previous morning, but her supervisor ordered everyone to return the next day - threatening to withhold an entire month's wages.
"We informed our employees to leave the day before the collapse," says Shahidullah Azim, vice-president of BGMEA. "We told the factory management that the building was designated an abandoned factory and was meant to be vacated."
But factory managers and the building's owner, Sohel Rana, reportedly insisted the employees return to work. Rana is now in custody after trying to flee to neighbouring India, but many fear he may try to use government connections to escape punishment. Rana had ties with the Jubo League, the youth wing of the ruling Awami League party. The government, however, has distanced itself from Rana since his arrest.
Factory owners are often under a tremendous amount of pressure by foreign investors to deliver their products on time, said Azim.
Often shipments are delayed by general strikes or other unforeseen circumstances. Factory owners have to pay extra to transfer their goods from sea to air shipments, a costly alternative.
"We have to stay competitive," said Jahander Rashid, of Harun Garment Industries. "This is a buyer's market, not a seller's market, and if we don't keep our prices competitive and deliver on time, our factories will be empty."
Rashid says he was watching the news in the aftermath of the accident, and saw people holding protest signs in Canada saying: "Don't buy Bangladeshi goods." But in a country with a four million-strong workforce in the garment industry, he says this is counterproductive.
Eighty percent of garment workers are women - and many of them are keeping families out of poverty.
Musammat Bulbuli lives in Bogra, about five hours north of the capital. She lost her 22-year-old daughter, Molita, in the Rana Plaza disaster. "I don't know what to do now," she said. "My daughter left behind two girls, aged five and two. She ran her household and took care of her family because her husband could only land odd jobs."
Shifting sands
As Bangladesh's clothing industry has expanded over the past several decades, factories have moved from residential compounds to commercial areas. Many are in buildings shared with other businesses. Now efforts are being made to separate the factories into their own compounds, so they can be built according to specific needs and can be regulated better.
Azim of BGMEA says steps have been taken since the Rana Plaza disaster to regulate building facilities. In addition to fire safety, labour, and management cells, they now have 12 engineers on BGMEA's staff.
BGMEA is also encouraging factory owners to shift generators from building rooftops to the ground floor. Vibrations from the generators on the upper floors of Rana Plaza caused the walls to crack. The building was also only built for office space, and the upper floors were reportedly added without building permits.
We need to focus on ethical buying.
Shahidullah Azim, BGMEA
BGMEA has also established a fire safety hotline for workers, and has begun a safety crash course for mid-level factory management and supervisors.
"We don't want donations, as they don't always reach the people who need it," says Azim. "We need minimum interest loans with long-term payback, so we can move factories to their own designated areas.
"We need to focus on ethical buying. We need to be able to negotiate better with foreign investors and stand down an offer if it doesn't meet our standards."
He explained that ethical buying consists of companies purchasing goods from places that have proper workers' rights in place, not just the cheapest labour to turn a maximum profit.
Government failures
Bulbuli said that Bkash Limited, a subsidiary of BRAC Bank, paid for her daughter's burial - but the government only gave her around $260 as compensation. She comes to Enam Hospital in Savar, where most of the victims were taken after the accident, to look for assistance.
The chairman of Enam Medical College and Hospital, Dr Enamur Rahman, says the hospital gave treatment and food for free to the victims in the aftermath: "Our policy is treatment first, business later."
He says the government has told him it would reimburse his expenses - a cheque he has yet to receive.
Rahman says most of the victims had blunt injuries usually caused by impact, and about half of them had fractured limbs. Of the 26 amputees, nine of them were at his hospital.
One of those was Morium.
Practical challenges
Morium now plans to return to her parents' house in Barisal. She says the government issued her compensation of around $15,000, to be given in $125 monthly instalments.
But she says she can only retrieve the payments from the Sonali Bank in Savar, and can't access it from other branches around the country. That will require her to pay a round-trip train fare of around $20 each month to collect the money.
For now, however, she hopes to make the most of her situation; a situation that the international community can hopefully learn from - so as to avoid history repeating itself.

Customer Reviews
No focus on security or reliability?
iPhone 6 user here with Touch ID enabled for login authentication. About every other day when I try to launch Day One it just freezes on the "put your thumb on the button to continue" and no matter how long you wait or push the home button to give up and close out of this app, it locks up the whole phone until you power down. Also, it's been several years now and still there is no way to encrypt your entires. Yes folks, if someone gets access to your Dropbox they can easily get into the database this app uses and read your entries in clear text. Don't get me wrong this is a great app (when it works) and I've been using it every day for the past 2-3 years. However the developers need to stop focusing on little unnecessary features like what music I'm listening to or if I'm jogging or sitting down and rather focus on some security enhancements and reliability improvements in the app. Also, I submitted a lot of screenshots and whatnot to explain a bug I found with the step counter and all I got back was generic response claiming they would look into it but yet another update later, and still no improvement. Very disappointed.
Time Changes and Pictures
I would have given this a 5 star because I absolutely love this journal. However, I have discovered a slight issue. When you create a new entry it automatically creates a date and time stamp (which I love), but the time seems to be synced with the automatic setting of the device. When you change time zones, the time on all the entries changes to match the new time zone. I don't like this. When I create an entry at 5:00pm in the Eastern Time Zone and then go to Germany (which is where I am now), I want that time stamp to continue to say 5:00, but it does not, it adjusted to 11:00pm on that entry. It has done that for all my entries, adjust the times 6 hours ahead. I want the time stamps to be permanent and not change according to time zone I am in. It should remain 5:00 no matter where I am at in the world and only change it I want to change it manually. One other thing, I would like to be able to add more than one picture to an entry, say 2 - 5 pictures.
Awesome. Just Awesome.
I've had a physical journal for more than ten years and I have only written 6 or so entries in it over that space of time. I've already written 17 different entries in Day One! This app makes documenting my life easy and fun to look at later. The search functions of it makes it really easy to find a memory I'm looking for. The only thing I wish knew more about in this app is how safe my entries are. I'm only afraid of losing what I have written because I'm not sure how Day One's cloud storage works. Other than that though, this app is an easy 9 out of 10.

SOASTA on Tuesday announced that it has entered into a technology and distribution partnership agreement with CA Technologies. The partnership will integrate SOASTA's Cloud based Web testing solution, CloudTest with CA Service Virtualization and CA LISA Test software suites. The solutions will be taken to market by CA Technologies as a new integrated solution, CA LISA Cloud Test, offering web and mobile developers around the world an advanced Global Test Platform. The integrated test platform can simulate any and every possible user scenario that a web site or mobile app may experience all within minutes.
"This is a very strategic partnership for us," said Tom Lounibos, CEO of SOASTA. "To understand what your consumers may experience using your website or mobile app you must be able to simulate and test every possible scenario from back end service through the OS. Up until now, this has been impossible to achieve. This partnership changes everything. Now developers can simulate every possible user experience possible. It gives the development community the most agile, scalable and comprehensive Global Test Platform for developing web and mobile apps."
For web and mobile developers, success is often measured in seconds. The seconds it takes for a consumer to find and perform an activity on an app defines whether they engage or leave. Finding ways of reducing latency requires end-to-end virtualization and simulation technology that allows developers to virtualize back end services then simulate and test millions of global and discrete consumer experiences to better understand what users will actually experience in production.
With CloudTest, developers can now simulate millions of users within minutes and then measure the impact on their existing infrastructure and network elements using CA Service Virtualization to virtualize the back end services so the test can be performed just like using actual production back end services.
CA LISA CloudTest enables developers, QA and IT teams to test websites and mobile applications with speed, scale and precision, at less cost. Users can build, execute, and analyze performance tests to emulate the scale and performance of real users. SOASTA's Global Test Cloud allows customers to scale tests for up to millions of geographically dispersed mobile or web users on any type of load testing requirement.
"CA and SOASTA are aligned in our efforts to provide a solution that compresses critical processes throughout the system development life cycle," said Shridhar Mittal, general manager of Application Delivery, CA Technologies. "The ability to virtualize many web and mobile user experiences with CloudTest enables our customers to increase the value of service virtualization and end-to-end testing from the development lab all the way to production environments."

Organization continues effort for high-speed rail
Members of the Virginia-North Carolina Interstate High Speed Rail Compact met earlier this month in Richmond to discuss federal and state program initiatives, affordability and future plans to initiate a high-speed rail system throughout the two states.
The organization's goal during the June 7 meeting at the General Assembly was to discuss how to provide transportation options for the public and seek ways to increase potential ridership by making train service as convenient as possible.
The Southeast High Speed Rail Corridor (SEHSR) was established in 1992 to provide rail transportation from Washington D.C. through Richmond and Petersburg in Virginia to Raleigh and Charlotte in North Carolina. The SEHSR will connect to Boston in the Northeast corridor and will now extend south to places such as Atlanta and Macon, Ga., and Jacksonville, Fla.
"Because of the economy and gas process, people want options to get from point A to point B," state Senator Yvonne B. Miller (D-5th District) said. "They are getting frustrated when they are stuck in line. The only reason they're not revolting now is because of the music and all the distractions in the car."
The Virginia members of the initiative expressed concerns that things are not moving quickly enough toward the implementation of high-speed rail. It's difficult for Virginians to get excited about a train that may not arrive for 20 to 30 years, they said, and that lack of momentum has had a huge effect on the public's support for the idea.
"We need them to be vocal with the state. There needs to be a ground swell from the people who want to use the trains," Miller said. "I don't think we can sit and hold hands expecting to get that 20 percent match. We need to have a meeting this election year."
Service is planned throughout Virginia and North Carolina. Individual projects include Raleigh to Charlotte; Washington D.C. to the Richmond area; the Richmond area to Petersburg and Raleigh; and Petersburg to Norfolk.
Virginians need to convince federal officials that high-speed rail is a priority, speakers said.
"There is a risk of payback. We run the risk of not achieving the benefits," said Kevin Page, chief of Rail Transportation for Virginia's Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT). "We still face challenges with the federal program, the future of the program and the sustainability of the program."
Page brought up several problems that the rail development faces today and suggested that a strategy was necessary if the state's goals for high-speed rail are to have any promise of sustainability.
"There are many questions about looking toward the future," he said. "Today, divided states need to compete against each other for funds. With $600 million worth of projects, there needs to be a long term funding strategy that can keep everything funded."
There seems to be a lack of consistency in the Federal Railroad Administration's state requirements. North Carolina submitted a 90 mph project while Virginia submitted a 70 mph project. North Carolina's agreement states that the goal is a 79 mph project with a study to achieve 90 mph, but Virginia's agreement has required a 90 mph project with an additional crossover at Arkendale.
Miller suggested putting Hampton Roads more prominently on the high-speed rail map. Since the area houses military members, such service there could improve efficiency for them and others in the community, she said.
"There is an omission of the military aspect," Miller said. "Roads are jammed, and they will take the military out if we don't improve the rail service or the highway."
The FRA's High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail Fund List reveals that Virginia is entitled to only $120 million in funding (11th nationally), while California is receiving $4.239 billion, Illinois is receiving $1.379 billion and North Carolina is receiving $572 million.
Funding for the SEHSR comes from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT) and from the states of Virginia and North Carolina. Both states currently fund several Amtrak operated non-high speed rail services as well as their own locomotives and passenger cars.
The SEHSR's first large section including the cities in Virginia and North Carolina up to Washington D.C. is scheduled to begin service 2018 and 2022.
Those present at this month's meeting are planning a trip to Washington D.C. in September or October to stand together before the Senate and House members from both states to lobby for rail development sooner rather than later.

PinPal Lite
By Jeff Stuart
Open iTunes to buy and download apps.
PinPal is a bowling scorekeeping application designed to provide bowlers with detailed statistics to help improve their average.
PinPal keeps track of both open bowling games as well as leagues, allowing bowlers to view their average and other statistics by league, or overall.
While more statistics are planned for the future, currently PinPal keeps track of your strike, spare, and open frame percentages. Additionally, PinPal keeps track of your single pin spare percentage, and can tell you what your average would be if you picked up all single pin spares.
Scores can be entered either by selecting all the pins you knocked down or by entering the scores you get for each ball.
The lite version of PinPal is completely functional and can keep statistics for:
* One league, with one week of games.
* Five open bowling games.
Any questions, comments, concerns, complaints, compliments, suggestions, or feedback of any other sort can be directed at firstname.lastname@example.com
For news and up to date information, follow PinPalApp on Twitter.

I recently found out that gravity on any given planet is caused by the mass of the planet.
I had always assumed that gravity on a planet was caused by the speed of rotation, orbit, proximity to the sun, and size of the sun.
I began exploring why gravity didn't get stronger during its ellipse when it was closest to the sun, and less when it was far. It was googling that which lead me to realize the size of the planet was the cause of gravity.
But I am wondering, does speed of orbit and rotation play any part of planetary gravity?
No. Technically speaking, gravity is caused by the
of a planet. If you had a planet with the same mass as Earth (the same amount of material), but spread out to the size of Jupiter, the gravity would be a great deal less, because it is less dense. However, if the planet had the same mass as Earth but was only the size of the moon, it would be denser, and therefore have a higher gravity.
I can't say that you're wrong, but to me, it just sounds wrong, it goes against my understanding of physics in general (though it is easily argued my understanding of physics is lacking).
Here on earth, an object's weight is the total mass being pulled by earth's gravity. But you're telling me earth's gravity is not established by mass; but by density? It just doesn't make sense.
Think of it like this. If you make the Earth less dense, you have to give it a larger volume - it will get bigger. But gravity pulls everything towards the center of the mass, which is why you don't get mountains pulling you sideways. This less-dense Earth is still pulling you towards its center, but because it is larger (in order to be less dense), you are now further from the center of gravity's pull, and gravity is pulling on you less.

(rolling) pin
The ability to see inside more and more homes via pinterest and the like can lead to an image-weary inability to understand personal preference. Do I like marble, or have I just viewed enough grey grains that I've been indoctrinated into a cult of calacutta? I've been thinking about the effects that the culture of life curation (*shudder*) has had on the average person organising their home. How many beloved velour wingback armchairs have been sent to landfill in the quest to obtain a perfectly post-industrial-meets-Georgian-revival style? I am a self-confessed consumer /victim of/to all of it, but I've been pleased to find that, in the process of making real decisions about materials, whilst standing over 600mm trenches in my living room, the true needs and spirit (for want of a better term) of my family have come to to the fore. No to marble! No to herringbone! Yes to stainless steel and hardwood that will both scratch and age over time without us caring! Yes to subway tiles, despite their ubiquity and in honour of the ones that were already in the house from the c.1955 renovation! Whittle those pins, people.
