Mayne did you cop that new White Flight record that shit is stupid dumb n hyphy.
by Elena Carroll August 04, 2006
Top Definition
A perfectly legitimate attempt by innocent people, often oppressed white middle class individuals and families, to exercise their civil rights to choose which neighbors they want to live with and what lifestyle they wish to pass on to their children, by peacefully leaving neighborhoods that no longer meet their very reasonable standards of safety and decency. This phenomenon is often misrepresented as racist by those who resent the freedom to move that these hard-working people have earned, without dependence on government support.
Detroit, Michigan displays the results of white flight. Neighborhoods that once thrived, filled with wage-earners who took good care of their properties and maintained acceptable behavior standards for safety, are now nearly empty. Those who remain are sometimes recorded as complaining to the government, demanding that should step in with taxpayer's money and fill the increasingly wide gaps left behind.
by Eleanor Sinclair February 11, 2008
A term used to describe white hard working, non-welfare using, people with morals and values that flee a particular area because it is overrun by the blight and crime often associated with minorties. A community that may have once thrived and prospered with business, good economics, and safety and now is the equivalent of a third world country because minorities came in and drove all business away. White Flight could be compared to a cancer that has been diagnosed early, the diagnosis could be the equivalent of vacating the area immediately rather than waiting for the disease(minorities) to come in and completely destroy that community.
Man, this apartment complex was quiet and clean when the white couple lived across the hallway. The second night the blacks moved in the cops were here. The cops said they could hear the bass all they way down in the parking lot. I guess it's time to take the "White Flight" before I end up dead.

An Asian girl with a white boyfriend is said to have white flight. This is an attempt to counter those who claim white men with Asian girlfriends have yellow fever.
Question: Is she going out with a white guy or an Asian guy? Answer: She has white flight.

flight away from Mexicans or chicanos in all parts of California ( people east of I5 pray that governator will stop all immegrunts )
white flight started in 1950's in LA now we have black flight ( to south east ) white flight still ongoing now from ( Brown attack chicanos ) ( to washington state and along Canada border )in downtown LA yellow skins pushing chicanos west toward beaches. Red man still puff peace pipe outside of big city. ( BC bud gud canadian shit ) All is well in the Holy City of the Angles.

secret fear of minorities
Tyrone: Whenever a black or latino moves into a neighborhood, them crackers leave the city to the suburbs. They call it white flight.
Jammal: Yeah, they don't wanna be around us.
Jammal: Yeah, they don't wanna be around us.
by JammalBro May 06, 2007
A name given by sociologists to the mass exodus of crackers (white people) from the inner city to the suburbs as soon as black people started moving in. Racist motherfuckers couldn't stand living in the same neighborhood as someone of a different skin color.
The opposite of white flight, black people moving into the city from the 'burbs, should be called BLACK ATTACK.

New Source Review (NSR) Permitting
Reform Examples - EPA's 2002 New Source Review Improvements
June 2002
Plantwide Applicability Limits (PALs):
Using a PAL type permit, a computer chip manufacturing facility used pollution prevention techniques to lower its smog forming volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions by 70% from 190 tons/year to 56 tons/year, while at the same time increasing production significantly. The PAL permit provided flexibility to allow quick and timely process and equipment changes that enabled the facility to significantly reduce VOC emissions without triggering costly and time-intensive permitting actions. New generations of computer chips are introduced every 12 to 24 months, and this company typically needed to make 150 to 200 equipment and operational changes per year. In the absence of the PAL type permit, the company would need to examine each change individually to determine whether it triggered NSR.
Clean Unit Test:
A company that manufactures chemical and specialty products for home care, personal care, home storage and insect control operates a plant in an ozone non-attainment area. All of the plant's aerosol product-filling and packaging operations underwent non-attainment NSR in the early to mid-1990s. The NSR permitting process required the installation of very stringent emission controls. Under the current NSR program, many routine projects designed to maintain or improve operating efficiencies, improve safety, and reduce operating costs at this facility could trigger NSR, even though very stringent controls are in place, emissions would remain well within permit limits, and the offsets previously secured were based on maximum permitted capacity. In many cases, projects designed to improve operating efficiency would also result in decreased line scrap and waste generation, providing a pollution prevention benefit.
Calculation of Emissions:
A refinery wanted to install a heat exchanger that would recover waste heat from one of its gasoline-producing units. As a result other heaters and boilers would need to be used less, reducing energy usage and emissions. However, because of how NSR currently measures future emissions (i.e., assumes future operation is at full capacity, although present operation is not) the project showed a "potential" emissions increase that could trigger NSR. The facility determined that NSR would make the project uneconomical, and it would not go forward.
Pollution Control Project:
A facility that is equipped with boilers that currently burn fuel oil wanted to change its boilers so they could burn natural gas, which would reduce emissions of SO2 and NOX. It may also result in a fuel cost savings. Although emissions of SO2 and NOX would decrease significantly, the facility projected emissions of VOCs and CO to increase slightly. These increases could trigger NSR, and the facility is likely to conclude that the project is no longer viable and continue to burn oil. This change would no longer be subject to NSR because the exclusion for pollution prevention and control projects includes fuel switching.
Routine Maintenance, Repair and Replacement:
For example, a manufacturer operates a process that includes a drying system. It determined that the energy efficiency of the system could be improved if the existing drier nozzles were replaced with Teflon-coated nozzles. Because it could not readily determine whether installation of the new nozzles would be considered routine maintenance, repair or replacement, the company decided not to proceed with the project. NSR excludes repairs and maintenance activities that are "routine," but a complex analysis must currently be used to determine what repairs meet that standard. This has deterred companies from conducting needed repairs, often times resulting in unnecessary emissions of pollution. The proposed changes would provide more certainty for activities that qualify for the routine maintenance, repair and replacement exclusion.

|Postsecondary Accountability
How are postsecondary institutions producing degrees, and how can states use funding as a lever to influence productivity? These are the main questions confronting lawmakers and postsecondary leaders as they consider ways to increase educational attainment and sustain economic growth in their states.
As states and postsecondary systems begin to institute performance accountability models, most are using student progress data to measure areas of institutional effectiveness or deficit. New accountability models hold promise because they:
In a joint effort, Complete College America and National Governors' Association developed ten metrics for states to consider when they develop performance systems. The evidence-based metrics relate to:
These progress and outcome benchmarks give policymakers greater specificity on how well institutions produce graduates. As legislatures seek greater alignment between postsecondary education and economic development efforts, policymakers should consider workforce metrics, which provide greater guarantee that state colleges and universities are producing graduates in the high-demand fields that local employers require.

Call it living in Upside-down Land or the realization of the Bible's prediction of a time when bad will be called good and good, bad, but once again innocent schoolchildren have been persecuted for, well, just being children. This time the offender was Chase Lake Elementary School (CLES) in Edmonds, Washington, where some kids were suspended for using Nerf guns on school grounds. And it's an all-too-common story. A child will be punished for drawing a gun, shaping his fingers as one and saying "bang!", merely talking about guns or some other innocuous action. And recently there was a case of a five-year-old boy who brought a cap gun to school to show a friend and then was interrogated for two hours until he wet his pants. It's all very bizarre and very twisted.
In the Edmonds case, the children were told that they could bring the toys to school, though I'm not interested in individual details but deeper matters. And make no mistake, something deeper is afoot here.
To introduce this, let's start with another common thread in these cases: the reaction of the persecuted children's parents. While they're always upset about the relatively draconian punishment visited upon their kids, their comments often reflect those of Edmonds mother Stacey Leidholm, who addressed her son's suspension and marred permanent record and said "I do understand that they definitely need consequences, but not that harsh of a consequence."
Let's stop right there. Why do they "need consequences"? This isn't a matter of simply having to respect the rules even if you disagree with them, since "with toy or facsimile guns, discipline is handed out at the discretion of the principal [at CLES]," writes KomoNews.com. Moreover, consequences imply a transgression, but what's wrong with playing with toy guns? It's not as if these brightly colored toys could be mistaken for real guns, and playing with them is certainly less likely to cause injury than is playing baseball or most any other sport. So what danger is posed by the possession of toy guns on school grounds?
Before I get to that, a bit of history.

MASSENA - Alcoa must find out the cost of the Grasse River cleanup before it decides to modernize its Massena operations, according to U. S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer.
Mr. Schumer urged the Environmental Protection Agency to fast-track the cleanup to give Alcoa a clearer idea of the costs Wednesday in front of the Massena West casthouse.
For more than 20 years, Alcoa has worked with state and federal agencies to remediate contaminated areas near its Massena East and West Plants, and cleaning up a several-mile stretch of the Grasse is the next stop in that process.
The EPA has finished exploring 10 cleanup alternatives, ranging from a no-cost do-nothing option to one costing nearly $1 billion, according to spokeswoman Larisa W. Romanowski. Several alternatives are in the $200-$300 million range and involve a combination of dredging and capping contaminated areas of the river. Alcoa has agreed to fund whichever option EPA chooses, she said.
Our first priority is to human health and the environment, she said. There is a set of criteria we use in our evaluation process and one of those criteria is cost.
The EPA has not yet chosen the option it will pursue, which is problematic for Alcoas modernization plans, Mr. Schumer said.
This obstacle is holding back Alcoas plans to expand its operations in Massena. If we can get a good, reasonable settlement on the Grasse River, then Alcoa can expand, Mr. Schumer said. Once they get that burden off their back and they know what the financing is for that, they want to expand. I will do everything I can to prevent bureaucratic red tape from holding up the growth because its the only thing standing in the way.
EPA plans to present possible cleanup alternatives and its preferred option to the public on Oct. 1, Ms. Romanowski said. The agency will then hold community meetings and gather public comments before reaching a final decision on the cleanup process, which may take a couple of months.
In many cases, the preferred options are eventually chosen, Ms. Romanowski said. The final decision is based in large part on the public comments we receive.
Mr. Schumer recommended EPA select a $200 million cleanup option, one that will certainly do the job but is not too onerous for Alcoa. If the company has to spend more than that on the cleanup, it may have less money available for modernizing, Mr. Schumer said.
The sooner EPA informs Alcoa of the project costs the better off Massena will be, Mr. Schumer said. He submitted a letter to EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson echoing those same concerns. In the letter, he said Alcoa has already spent nearly $65 million in north country remediation costs since 1989 for past environmental mistakes.
We just want them to fast-track it and not take a year or two to get it done, he said of the EPA.
Alcoas board of directors ultimately will decide whether to commit to a modernization of its Massena facilities by March 31, 2013. Local staff are using the time between now and then to hammer out the details and make Massena as attractive as possible to corporate.
Alcoas commitment to modernization could help retain employees and ensure the companys future here for decades to come.
In order to continue receiving low-cost hydro power from the New York Power Authority, Alcoa must invest at least $600 million in the modernized plant.
The project will cost more than that, Plant Manager John Martin previously said.
Grasse River cleanup costs are one of several factors Alcoa will consider when it decides whether to modernize, spokeswoman Laurie A. Marr said Wednesday afternoon.
The company will evaluate the modernization project based on its ability to provide returns to the corporation, Ms. Marr said. Its difficult for the company to make these significant investment decisions with these huge unknowns.
The Grasse River cleanup is a very important project to the EPA, Ms. Romanowski said. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the St. Regis Mohawk Tribes Environmental Division are also providing input as EPA selects its preferred option.
Our input will be reflected in the document when it is issued by the EPA, spokesman Steve Litwhiler said.
Mr. Martin praised Mr. Schumer for his involvement in the issue.
Im extremely encouraged. I think its vital we get the support of Senator Schumer on these types of issues, he said. Its about the environment but its also about jobs and the economy.
Christopher W. Baldwin, president of United Steelworkers Local 420-A, said Massena plant workers are going to continue to work hard and hope for the best as the federal government selects a cleanup option.
If this goes through, were one step closer to the modernization, which is good, Mr. Baldwin said.

Eva Chen
- 1 of 11If you've ever wondered what it's like to walk in a Beauty Director's very fashionable footsteps, today's subject should definitely be on your radar. Teen Vogue's incredible Eva Chen is both wildly stylish and ultra-savvy with all things tech, as evidenced by her prolific and personable Twitter, Instagram, and Tumblr updates. We're so delighted to feature her in today's Fashion Office, which was photographed, as always, by our wonderful friends from The Coveteur!

"I adore Chanel and I also adore anything itty-bitty. Therefore, these mini-bottles of Les Exclusifs are one of my favorite things in my office. And, fittingly, I often wear Chanel Beige (day and night). Another favorite scent of mine is Hermes Hermessence in Rose Ikebana."
"I wish I had one of those desks that has three sheets of papers on it, a gorgeous vase of flowers, and that's it. But, for better or worse, an enormous amount of paper and products passes through my office (stories, press releases, nine trillion samples to test) and I do try to read or at least try it all of it before passing it on. That creates a logjam and really a rather messy desk, sigh."

"Organized chaos? Not quite...More like chaos, period. I oversee the beauty, health, and features sections of the magazine, which means layouts are constantly flowing through my office! And despite the seeming mess, I swear I know where every.single.thing is in my office."
"To celebrate Sephora's 10th anniversary in the US, the brand sent over giant (faux, sadly) lipsticks! Odd beauty fact: oversized large products of this sort are called factices. Now, don't you feel like a beauty editor?"
- 5 of 11"Every beauty editor is different and loves a different category (fragrance, skincare, makeup, hair, etc). My personal favorites are nailpolish and skincare. Fragrance bottles, though, I do love to look at (if not wear scent). My favorite nail salons in NYC are Jin Soon (another friend!), Ten Over Ten (the best selection of polish brands, including Chanel), and Sakura for nail art. A new straight-from-Tokyo salon in LA just opened called MARS and they're my LA secret (for now)."

"Is it obvious by now that I'm a Chanel fan? That pillow was a gift from the fashion house. Swoon! Bobbi is a great friend both professionally and personally. I admire her drive and her business savvy. And her beauty aesthetic-clean, chic, classic-is something I'm still working on."

My favorites are the single-color bouquets from Miho-although she used to do an amazing and huge rainbow rose bouquet (that she's since discontinued). I received that once and it was the best thing I've ever received. The Teen Vogue finger was a celebration of Teen Vogue's #1 status in our market a few years back."

I have a shapefile containing streets that have to be counted. But these streets in each case consist of several polylines. Maybe I should buffer these polylines and union the generated polygons that have the same name as well as they overlap. Is there a tool or do I have to write a VBA script or something?
You don't need to worry about buffers or Polygons.
I think the tool you are looking for is called "Dissolve" in the Data Management/Generalization Toolbox. You have to decide whether to use the parameter DISSOLVE_LINE or UNSPLIT_LINES - the latter will only create a single line for contiguous features - i.e. lines that share an endpoint.
Dissolve and its usage, in Arcpy, is thus:
It effectively aggregates your geographies on specified attributes i.e. in your case, it's name.
I should add that it is very simple to use, either as a standalone script, or as a command in the python window in 10.
EDIT: You might want to have a look at the answer here if you're prepared to use another software package. From what you've told us it looks like arc may not be the best tool to work with your particular dataset.
i might be misunderstanding what you need. but if all you need is a count of unique street names, you could maybe use vanilla SQL GROUP BY to aggregate by street name.
select s.street_name, count(*) from streets s group by s.street_name;
of course you'll need a tool that can do SQL against a shapefile/dbf, or put the shapefile/dbf into a DBMS that can do SQL.
Or maybe try Excel - it probably has a function to give you a list of unique values from a column, and a function to count them. You could operate on the shapefile's DBF directly in Excel.

a visually stunning effect that packs small and plays big.
BEKOS is one of those rare pieces of magic that has it all. It is easy to learn and simple to perform. The method is infallible and always under the magician's control. It is a visually stunning effect that packs small and plays big. It can be presented in a number of different ways. It can be used as a stand-alone effect or as part of a longer routine. BEKOS has been a part of my magic show since I acquired it and is always a real audience pleaser.

Easy and Stunning!
This is very easy to perform but is visually stunning. Tie a simple knot and then it slides off. Once you tie the knot - and you can have people test it is not a slip knot - and then they can slide it right off.
Saw this effect at a Jeff McBride lecture and he showed us how to do it in 15 minutes. The video has some different handlings.
Simple and effective. What more can you ask for?

Excellent and Simple
This is an excellent effect and it really is fairly simple to execute. Play it slow and easy and the surprise can build to the final reveal. A feature of this effect is that you can perform it almost surrounded, with a little care.
Plus, there are so many things that can be added to play off this wonderful effect, only limited by your creativity.

Please Read This Before You Use WAR In a Post

Fangraphs uses Park Adjusted Runs Above Average based on wOBA to calculate the offensive component and UZR to calculate the defensive component. You can learn more about it here and here.
Baseball Reference uses the Sean Smith's WAR data. You can learn more about how it is calculated here and more about Sean Smith here.

Tango on his blog distinguishes between fWAR (Fangraphs WAR) and rWAR (B-Ref WAR), which is a quick and easy way to identify the method chosen.
The use of WAR as a stat to talk about player value is on the rise here. Because of this, we ask that posters who do use WAR to also let people know which version of WAR they are using. Baseball Reference and Fangraphs calculate WAR differently. Since WAR is a combination stat, it would also help tremendously if youd break down both the offensive component and the defensive component whenever you post using WAR.

Is there such a thins a park adjusted WAR? The reason I ask is because it seems important in the context of Crawford. For a player who derives so much of his WAR defensively, the fact that he is moving to a small left field seems like it would dramatically reduce his WAR.
Fangraphs WAR uses UZR for defense and B-Ref WAR uses Total Zone. Both are park-adjusted.
Posted 29 December 2010 - 04:34 PM
Fangraphs WAR uses UZR for defense and B-Ref WAR uses Total Zone. Both are park-adjusted.
Further clarifications from the ongoing "Comparing Players" thread:
Fangraphs uses Total Zone for pre-2002 players, and dRS (defensive runs saved) for catchers.

This page has a nice table at the end comparing fWAR and bWAR:
All in all, these are major improvements to the system and while there are dozens of details, here are the main points of difference between our old framework and the new one.
- Switch from BaseRuns for batting to an advanced wRAA metric.
- Folding ROE, infield singles, SO vs. Non-SO into wRAA.
- Excluding pitchers' hitting and averaging by league rather than year from the league averages for wOBA and wRAA.
- Estimation of CS numbers for leagues they are missing.
- Use of Baseball Info Solutions Defensive Runs Saved from 2003-present (in our view the most advanced defensive metric).
- Use of a player-influenced runs to win conversion for both batters and pitchers based on PythagenPat.
- Use of a player-specific park factor for pitchers weighted by actual appearances in each park.
- After a preliminary WAR calculation, we fine-tune the replacement level on a playing time basis, so the total WAR in each league is very consistent year-to-year.
- I've changed the oWAR and dWAR formulations. oWAR is now called ndWAR for (no-defense WAR), but is the same otherwise. dWAR now contains the position component of WAR, so the Career Leaderboard is now dominated by SS, C and other great defensive players.

I think some of the stat types do themselves (and their cause) a disservice by quoting metrics that don't make sense, even to most stat supporters, while making their cases for Trout. Look at the 2012 WAR numbers for Trout and Cabrera and the first thing a non-numbers guy (or a numbers guy) should notice is that the Baseball Reference WAR and the Fangraphs WAR are not the same. If they bothered to look closely, and most won't, they would see there are significant differences in the defensive numbers, discrepancies in base running and what is measured in running, and even differences in the metrics that make up the total WAR numbers.
Focusing on defense, Trout is 21 runs above an average player at his position per BR and + 11.4 runs per FG; Cabrera is -4 runs per BR and -10 per FG. How does a non-stat guy reconcile that? Is the difference 31 runs or 15? Or something else entirely?
Base running is measured differently on the 2 sites - BR looks at SB, CS, PB, WP, and Defensive Indifference, while FG considers SB and CS, then separates out other base running events like going from 1st to 3rd on a single into a new stat called Ultimate Base Running (UBR). BR has Trout 10 runs above average with their running metric, while FG says he is +7 runs on SB and CS and +5 runs in UBR, for a total of +12. Cabrera is even (0) runs in BR, -0.4 in SB and CS on FG, and -2.4 using UBR on FG.
Also, BR uses a batted into double play stat in their WAR calculation, that is not included in the FG number (Cabrera is -5 and Trout is +1).
Got it ?
Effectively, WAR, in both forms, is a needlessly confusing and convoluted stat that will never, and should never, catch on with the average fan. The metric adds an offensive/batting component that is pretty accurate (maybe 85 - 90%), with a defensive number that is at best 50% accurate (looking at one year of defensive stats you should regress the number by 50%, so if you see a player who is +10 runs in one full season, regress him to +5), a base running number (UBR) that is also in need of serious regression, a positional adjustment (that could use an update, esp for DH), and (imo) a completely unnecessary and bewildering (to a common fan) adjustment for a mythical replacement player.
Do people really expect Joe Burger King to accept this stat as Gospel when a vast majority of the people using it have no idea what it includes, how it is calculated, and what its strengths and weaknesses are? If you were performing a science experiment, would you add a stat you had 90% confidence in, to one you had 40% confidence in, include another you had 20% confidence in, then call it accurate? I know of one person on the board who might, but hopefully he's the only one.
Trout had a better season than Cabrera in 2012, of that there is no question. Cabrera may have been a slightly better hitter, but Trout played a more difficult defensive position, played it better, and had a huge advantage in stolen bases (49 steals, caught only 5 times). He also played in a home park that was tougher to score runs in (and ergo hit in) than Cabrera. I know this is what WAR is attempting to measure, but it does not work and quoting it as if it were an accurate stat erodes the discussion and turns off the non-stat types who are (rightfully) confused, the baseball traditionalists that see the metric's flaws, and the math heads who despise fallacious formulae.
Is it a huge deal that Cabrera won? Not to me; the Triple Crown is pretty cool, imo, and I don't have a rooting interest for Trout (and URI would tell you I always root for the Latino guys). I do believe Trout deserved the award, however, and tried to explain why in simple terms above.

Colin Wyers posted an excellent article today on BPro about the use of WAR. Interestingly enough, a Tweet from Heyman inspired it.
As that old pop song goes, "oops, he did it again." Sports Illustrated's Jon Heyman is asking questions about WAR:
i like war. but heres my war mystery of the week. mark reynolds .988 ops, 0.8 war; elliot johnson .641 ops, 0.9 war.
If this sounds familiar, Heyman asked a similar question about Starling Marte and Bryce Harper roughly two weeks ago. There was a predictable dust-up on Twitter, then and now, and a few articles were written. And while much noise has been made, very little has been said, and that's sad for a number of reasons:
1. Heyman is actually right on the merits here,
2. These aren't edge cases or weird outliers but examples of a fundamental problem with the construction of certain WAR metrics and with several of the underlying components,
3. These are problems that have been identified for some time now, and solutions actually exist for them already,
4. And finally, that the response to Heyman is indicative of a larger problem with the sabermetrics movement.
Wyers covers all of these and more in a very easy to understand way.

Keith Law's Behind the Dish May 7 podcast is with B-Ref rounder Sean Forman and goes pretty deep into WAR, what "replacement level" means, how much they trust the defensive piece of WAR (a lot, in Forman's case), and basically how they use WAR personally.
Forman says he considers two players within a half-run of each other basically the same, for example, which gave me a better idea of what the margin of error is in their calculations. Also, there's some interesting stuff on how B-Ref and Fangraphs came together to at least establish a baseline for what the replacement-level number actually is, so that they'd be more in line with one another, even if their calculations were different.
Now, he says, both systems should add up to a total of about 1,000 WAR for the year.
I found it to be a really great listen and highly informative, even after doing some reading about WAR previous to listening.
