Listen to Susan Handy
Professor Susan Handy, the Director of the Sustainable Transportation Center at UC Davis, explains, in an interview recorded on January 29, 2016, why widening a highway not only will fail to relieve traffic congestion but also will increase vehicle miles traveled, and will be environmentally damaging.
Click on the audio strip below to listen to this 20-minute interview. She summarizes her recent study done for the Air Resources Board. If you want to read a transcript of the interview, it is here.
A brief summary of Susan Handy's talk
On May 14, in our own Louden Nelson Center, Susan Handy treated us to a fine presentation. Here are a few of her main points:
For decades, our road engineers have used
"Level Of Service" (LOS) as a
criterion to characterize traffic flow on our
roads. Level "A" is freely flowing
traffic, and level "F" is a
traffic jam—when the demand is greater
than the capacity. The idea has been to raise
the LOS by adding capacity, i.e.,
lanes to the road. Susan showed us this photo
of the "Katy Freeway" in Houston.
At 23 lanes, it's the widest freeway in the
world, and it's still at level
"F". Click on the image to
enlarge it. See this link for more
Recently the trend has been to replace LOS with "Vehicle Miles Traveled" (VMT) when evaluating the environmental impact of a road widening project. Now the idea is to reduce the VMT. An increase in VMT always implies an increase in Greenhouse Gas emissions.
- Whenever a road is widened, there is the probability that more cars will eventually be induced to travel on the road, as is described in Linda Booth Sweeney's video below. This is called "Induced Travel", a phenomenon that has been dismissed by Caltrans, but is gradually now becoming accepted by them.
- Any increase in the capacity of a road—even auxiliary lanes—always leads to an increase in VMT, and hence to an increase in Greenhouse Gas emissions.
- To reduce the demand for automobile travel, one may either (a) make driving less attractive, or (b) make alternatives more attractive. Which would you prefer?
Watch this good video
For a good companion to Susan Handy's presentation, watch this excellent video by systems educator Linda Booth Sweeney. In two and a half minutes she provides a clear explanation for why widening a highway does not relieve traffic congestion. ◀
Watch two good videos
Here are two good videos by renowned planner Peter Calthorpe. Click on the links to watch them.
- Here Calthorpe describes what Portland did in 1990—a key decision that encouraged sustainable transportation and resulted in a livable downtown.
- Here Calthorpe summarizes the steps to take to achieve Transit Oriented Development, with excellent illustrations, both negative and positive.
New definitions are needed
It has long been the case that the phrase "alternative transportation" has meant walking, or riding a bicycle, or using the bus or other modes of public transportation. The implication is that the primary mode is driving a car. However, everyone walks. Unless you are disabled, you cannot get through the day without walking.
Furthermore, in our planning for the construction of transportation-related projects, short shrift is frequently given to pedestrian amenities such as sidewalks and crosswalks. Bicycle amenities, such as bike lanes or bike paths, are often only added as an afterthought.
Therefore: It's time to re-define what we mean by "alternative":
Alternative Transportation Mode: Driving in a car, especially as a single occupant.
Primary Transportation Modes: Walking, and bicycling or using public transportation.
Speed kills
If you're driving a car and there are pedestrians around, speed matters a lot. Data for this graph come from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Traffic jams. Lots of cars. Parking problems. Air pollution, neighborhood degradation, global warming.
Nearly 90% of the cars on our streets and roads have only a single occupant.
In California, roughly 40% of greenhouse gas emissions come from transportation (50% in the Bay Area), mostly from private cars.
What shall we do?

Lots of New Stuff
July 12, 2016: We have recently received comments by the Center for Biological Diversity on the Draft Environmental Impact Report/Environmental Assessment (DEIR/EA) for proposed Highway 1 construction projects. Their comments may be found here. Other comments, by local attorney Bill Parkin are here (with appendices here), and those by CFST are here.
June 23, 2016: We are not safe, and we can be safer. Steve Piercy has created a map showing all the collisions involving pedestrians and bicyclists in Santa Cruz County for any time interval between 2002 and 2015. To learn more, and see his map, click this link.
June 12, 2016: Liz Levy of Soquel wrote an excellent letter to the RTC. We urge you to take a look at it. Just click this link.
Sunday, May 22, 2016: We had a lively (and breezy) celebration for Nancy Abbey this afternoon at the "MAH". Good talk, good munchies, and a new song: Widening One Won't Work. Click on this link if you would like a copy. There are lyrics, a piano score with guitar chords, and an mp3 file.
May 14, 2016: Susan Handy came to Santa Cruz, and gave us a good presentation at our Louden Nelson Center. Her talk, entitled "Stuck in Traffic: Will More Lanes Help?", was followed by many good questions from her large audience. It was well-received. We have now posted a short summary of her remarks. You may also listen to a recent interview of her by Charles Marohn of Strong Towns, and watch a short informative two-and-a-half minute video by Linda Booth Sweeney. Click on this link to learn more.
March 23, 2016: We have a new page of Stories by Bus Riders! Put together by Dana Bagshaw, it is right here. These are folks who enjoy using the bus to get around, and on this page, they tell you why.
February 7, 2016: We need financial support for the expenses that go with our volunteer advocacy work. Please make a donation to the Campaign, either on-line, or by mail. Just click here, or on the new green Donate tab in the navigation bar above (under the header photos).
January 23, 2016: We have
a new slide show! We are working
to get an improved sales tax ballot measure for
the upcoming election on
November 8—one that does not waste
over $100 million to widen Highway 1.
Such an expenditure (a) would not provide
congestion relief on the highway,
(b) would not work to increase mobility,
(c) would significantly contribute to global
warming, and (d) would be contrary to current
Caltrans policies and goals.
We would be pleased to give strong support to an improved ballot measure. Please click on the above link to watch the slide show.
And after you've watched the slide show, consider signing our petition to the RTC. More details are elsewhere on this page.

The Late Carboniferous whip spider Graeophonus anglicus Pocock, 1911 (Arachnida: Amblypygi), is redescribed on the basis of the holotype and nine other specimens all preserved in sideritic nodules from the British Middle Coal Measures of Coseley, Staffordshire, UK. This species is clearly basal with respect to most living whip spiders, expressing numerous plesiomorphic character states and can be referred to both the suborder Paleoamblypygi and the 'living fossil' family Paracharontidae (with one Recent species), the latter based on an explict character of dorsal spination on the pedipalp femur. This suggests that crown-group Amblypygi originated by at least the mid-Palaeozoic.

Tesla Model S Tops Consumer Reports Survey of Owners
Tesla Motors Inc.'s Model S, the electric car being investigated for a possible recall, was the top-rated model for owner satisfaction in a survey of Consumer Reports subscribers, the magazine said.
The luxury model, which starts at $70,000 and can cost more than $100,000, received a score of 99 out of a possible 100, the highest the magazine has seen in years, Consumer Reports said today in an e-mail. In May, it earned a near-perfect score in the magazine's own evaluation.
"In testing, the Model S stands out for its innovative design, outstanding performance, and surprising practicality," said Jake Fisher, Consumer Reports' director of automotive testing. "These results suggest Tesla owners are very, very satisfied."
The survey, which hinges on whether an owner would buy the car again, was done earlier in the year, before three Model S cars caught fire after driving over metal objects or crashing. Tesla Chief Executive Officer Elon Musk has said there will "definitely" not be a recall of the Model S, and adjusted the software so the car won't ride as low to the ground at highway speeds. U.S. safety officials have begun an investigation.
Executive Departure
Separately, George Blankenship, the former Apple Inc. executive who has led sales for Tesla and managed the creation of its company-run stores, left the automaker, according to a report by the San Jose Mercury News. Multiple calls and messages to Tesla seeking confirmation of the report weren't returned.
Tesla rose 0.8 percent to $122.10 at the close in New York. While the shares have tumbled 37 percent since peaking at $193.37 on Sept. 30, they have more than tripled this year, after finishing 2012 at $33.87.
The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said this week it would look into the fire risks from the undercarriage of the Model S striking objects. In two such U.S. cases, one on Oct. 1 in Washington state and another in Tennessee on Nov. 6, Model S drivers hit metallic road debris that caused battery-casing damage and resulted in fires.
A third Tesla vehicle burned after a driver in Mexico hit a concrete wall in a high-speed crash.
None of the drivers involved in the accidents were hurt.
"Based on the Model S track record so far, you have a zero percent chance of being hurt in an accident resulting in a battery fire," Musk said this week in a blog post.
Thicker Barrier
Should U.S. regulators reject Tesla's software fix, they may order Palo Alto, California-based Tesla to install a thicker barrier of aluminum or a stronger metal in the Model S's undercarriage. That would add cost and undermine Tesla's claim to sell the safest U.S. car.
NHTSA said Oct. 24 it found no evidence the first fire resulted from defects or violations of U.S. safety standards. It didn't send investigators to the scene of that accident in Washington state because it occurred on the first day of a partial U.S. government shutdown.
Tesla sales have surged in the U.S. this year, and the company plans to deliver 21,500 units of Model S to customers in North America and Europe in 2013.

A mock of the music video for the song "Take On Me" by A-Ha, this Volkswagen commercial depicts a racing scene, all done in drawn out, sketched scenes that include similar scenes to the Take Me On music video, but include a Volkswagen in the drawings. Basically, a man in a Volkswagen is racing a bunch or motorcycles with passenger cars in what seems to be an epic race. He wins, and a woman is there to celebrate his victory with him, and dance with each other by the car. As it turns out, this entire commercial is the day dream of a man in an office meeting, doodling on a piece of paper in front of him. In reality, he's been singing the song out loud in front of everyone at them meeting without knowing it. He looks up from his paper, embarrassed "Was that me? Was I singing?" Everyone around him just stares at him, not sure what to think of the sudden outburst.
Natural and Honest. 2 refreshing qualities in an ad.
Awesome, best commercial on TV right now.
When someone sings that song, they always botch that famous high note, in the same way.
I like this ad so much that I make my husband (yes, he is in "control" of the remote) rewind so I can see it twice every time it comes on. Interesting to see who from the sketches is actually at the table, too.
This is one of my favorite current commercials. Well-implemented song and great acting. It was so deliciously awkward :D
I LOVE this commercial … makes me laugh everytime.
The note he sings is so jarringly perfect.
I have laughed every time I have seen this commercial.
Oh jeeze, I laugh more each time I see it… And yes he does that "off key" note sooo well… And oh, he gets cuter & cuter each time I see it!!
Hilarious commercial I loved it!

Praise for Right on the Money
"If I've learned one thing from Doug: real returns are made by ignoring the passing herd and looking at what they trampled over instead. His gut-punching assaults on the 'common sense' notions that fail most investors are a rare chance to learn firsthand from one of the contrarian masters."
Porter Stansberry, founder, Stansberry & Associates Investment Research
"You should read this to have your brains rattled, whether you agree or notat firstat least, you will have to consider views you never even heard."
Jim Rogers, author of Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets
"Doug Casey is a brilliant speculator with a great understanding of historical cycles and the keen senses of a coonhound. If you want to learn how to make money, you have to think like someone who instinctively knows how to make moneyand Doug is a prime example of that rarest of species.
"Right on the Money's perfect concoction of personal experience, sound investment advice, and irreverent viewpoints is the next best thing to sitting face to face with Doug."
Bill Bonner, founder, Agora Inc.
"I would call the extraordinary Doug Casey a 'national treasure,' if he believed in anything national. So let me just say: if you care about your own economic future, read this book."
Lew Rockwell, LewRockwell.com
About the Author

Hi there,
first let me say that this is a really great plugin. It is more then clear how much thought you have put in every detail nad it blends in with wordpress very nicely. I don't think I'm going to design any pages withoutt his plugin from now on.
However, there are two minor things that keep bugging me. I'm not sure if there is any support in this forum, but I could not find any other support forum for this plugin.
1. The comment is not being displayed after it has been posted. I get a completion message and the comment is successfully transmitted, but it does not show up in the comment list without a reload. I checked the "Show comment form after a comment has been added"-box, still nothing. Is it not supposed to do that?
2. I noticed that the colors of the fading text (like in the error or completion message) are messed up - the text is blurry and changes colors while being transformed, which it is not supposed to do (and doesn't do on Chrome e.g.).
I would really appreciate a little help with these two things - besides that it really is one of the best plugins I have seen so far!
Thanks and greetings,

Thursday 9/11/08
first: Somber day, not much happening at work and realized it may be because of the "anniversary" of 9/11. Maybe not, either way it's a day to take pause...
Heavy OHS Single then, 85%x2x3
(Single done at 155, Doubles done at 135... these felt much better today)
Push Press 5x5:
Done at 120 across. Again, these felt much better. I was fried last Thursday. Definitely could push another 10 lbs. or more for 5 sets across..
Metcon: 1/2 Angie in 6.59.
Far from a PR. Pull Ups on the homemade bar are taking a while. Up to 21 kipped pull ups (vertical kip not nearly as efficient as the gliding kip in my opinion) but blew up around 30 or so.
Finally getting the weight to nudge up. At 5'6"-7" depending on who's measuring and 160 lbs. I am pretty solid, but I could stand to put on some weight to make the strength gains a bit easier. Looking for 170+ before I start to lean out again in the spring.
I'm reminded of a quote I saw once that said something like "I'm always amazed at how much better my genetics gets when I eat more and lift heavier". How true.
And if you don't think kettleball squat cleans are difficult, I say, step up to the med-ball

When I called get_post_meta in my plugin it kept only returning a single string instead of an array when I could see that there was more than one postmeta row in the DB with the same key. I looked at the function and found a problem when fetching from the postmeta cache.

The Pastoral Neolithic of East Africa

In East Africa, as in many other regions, the initial shift from hunting and gathering to food production was a secondary process involving the introduction of species domesticated elsewhere. Specifically, the East African Neolithic, or Pastoral Neolithic, centered on herding livestock, some of which may have been domesticated in the Sahara and all of which were almost certainly imported from areas to the north. The development of the Pastoral Neolithic was lengthy and complex, having begun before 4000 B.P. and lasted until about 1300 B.P. Although detailed information on this segment of African prehistory is not abundant, data so far available reveal a succession of cultural transformations within the Pastoral Neolithic, such that it can be divided into early, evolved, and late stages, each exhibiting distinctive combinations of ceramic wares, lithic industries, and subsistence regimes. The transformations seem to have been fostered by both environmental change and population movements.

I've asked Uncle Google. I've asked WordPress.Org. Alas, I have no peace.
Does anyone know of a WordPress plugin that has a GUI that allows you to query your WordPress database and export the resulting set? I'm looking for one with a GUI b/c I'm going to hand this off to a customer for simple reporting on their database.
They'd like to be able to build their own searches when all is said and done, and I'd like to find a plugin that is already doing this.
I'd be grateful for any assistance!
Also, if anyone knows of a tool like this that could be used in conjunction with Gravity Forms, that would be a HUGE bonus.

Does Ben Sherman make quality shoes?
I'm thinking about buying a pair of Ben Sherman Manchester boots on super sale from JackThreads, but I'm concerned they'll just be another pair of cheap Chinese-made shoes and a waste of a hundred bucks.

Alternatively, if you have good experiences with black, mid-calf (10-12 eyelet) boots, I'd like to hear those, too.

I'm having a lot of trouble thinking through how to do this. I could really use some help.
Basically, I would like the front page of my site to only display certain categories, and I don't want it to display my sidebar. Elsewhere on the site I would like the blog to display in full, all categories and sidebar included.
I've been messing with template pages and I've gotten pretty close. But I can't seem to figure out the front page situation. Maybe like a custom index file or something?
How can I do this?

This little car is great fun and bound to put a smile on your face.
Mercedes SL380

The smooth V8 engine and automatic transmission make this a very comfortable and easy car to drive so that you can sit back and enjoy the fresh air and surrounding scenery. Finished in the classic combination of red with beige check interior.
Great Driving Routes
Teesdale is a beautiful unspoilt dale that is a perfect base for a classic driving experience with peaceful rural roads, pretty villages and plenty of attractions to see along the way. It also sits nicely between Swaledale to the south and Weardale to the north with the Lake District comfortably within reach should you wish to venture a little further afield. We will supply you with our tried and tested route through Teesdale and up over to Weardale or you can plan your own bespoke tour of the dales.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2005
Running Time: 88
Director: Christian Knight
Company: Sin City Teen
Cast: Tiffany Taylor, Talon (I), Tobi Pacific, Faith (I), Hailey Young, Brett Rockman, Bailey (I), Billy Glide, Kat (I), Johnny Thrust (I)
Critical Rating: AA 1/2
Genre: All-Sex
There's one consistency about shooting porn outdoors and that is the pesky fly, and there's nothing like watching the anal really get going in a scene as a fly buzzes around the girl's ass and pussy, as with the Kat/Alex Sanders opener. If one can get past the Diptera, it's actually a very good scene, perhaps the hottest on the tape. Unfortunately, every scene has the pesky flying objects star in every scene. A fetish for some? Possibly. Distracting to the rest of us. Damn right. Maybe they would have subtitled this one Lord of the Flies.
Retailing: Fly-dominated outdoor teen scenes.

I could use some help from those who have been through similar situations.
When #3 arrives, my oldest will be 3 and a half and my middle will be 21 months. I recently began to babysit my friend's 1 and a half year old and newborn.
My daughter seems to be very happy with the pregnancy, kissing my tummy and talking excitedly. She also plays nice with the two I babysit and kisses and hugs them. But I think she's hiding some negative feelings which are being expressed currently in the form of potty accidents. (She's been accident free for a year, and just started peeing in the floor once a randomly. Got her checked, no UTI.)
I know I need to show her some one on one mommy time, and make her feel secure. Any suggestions on how? We're on a tight budget, and it's winter outside, and I'm pregnant and exhausted often. So it's harder than I thought.
Any other advice in addition to that? I love her very much, and want her to know and feel that.
I can't give up the babysitting. The family needs me, and it only lasts through April.
Thanks in advance! :)

LAS VEGAS--Beanbags are typically associated with lounging, but they've always been more for people than gadgets.
Santa Fe Springs, Calif.-based Vantage Point has trying to shake that up with its Beanpad Portfolio stand for the iPad.
Like the Beanpad stand the company launched last October, the Portfolio has a beanbag that can be used to set the iPad on uneven surfaces. But the Portfolio does away with a mount entirely, and instead consists solely of a full leather case with Velcro backing. When you're not using the Beanpad stand, you can cart around your iPad in just the leather case.
As with other models, the company's hook is that you can switch between portrait and landscape when it's set on the mount, and you can prop up the iPad in places where Apple's own Smart Cover may not do the trick. A company spokesman also told me he thinks Vantage Point used a better quality leather than Apple uses on its first-party cases.
The Portfolio case runs $79 and comes in a handful of colors, including brown, black and pink. It only works with Apple's second-generation iPad model.

1. It's become a bit of a cliché that great artistry can't exist without some madness. Do you agree with this?
2. Though much is written in women's fiction about relationships between mothers and daughters, there is less emphasis on those bonds between fathers and daughters. In your opinion, how are they different, and how does a girl's relationship with her father impact how she develops as a woman?
3. Eden recalls that for years when friends asked about her father, "I'd make up some story of how he lived in New York and traveled the globe looking for inspiration. It wasn't like he would come back to prove me wrong. And after all, considering the ugliness of the truth, it's not like anyone could blame me for wanting to lie." Why do you think Eden lies? Is it because of the stigma surrounding mental illness, or is there something else at work? What role does shame play in abandonment?

I'm trying to convert Oulipo's vertical nav bar to a horizontal one, but it doesn't look like it's as simple as everyone makes it to be. I can't do it through CSS alone, it looks like, since there's some javascript that overrides any format change in CSS or plugin. I'm a total newbie, so any input or help would be very appreciated!
This post is mostly for those who have dealt with the Oulipo theme, since I can't locate the specific function for the main_nav. In the theme's functions.php, this is the only thing related:
add_action( 'init', 'register_oulipo_menus' );
function register_oulipo_menus() {
'main-menu' => __( 'Main Navigation Menu' )
)); } }
The only other reference to the main nav is in the header.php file, where the action is called:

<?php if ( has_nav_menu( 'main-menu' )) : ?>
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'main-menu', 'container' => '' )); ?>
<?php else: ?>

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=&depth=2'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

In 2005 my husband was being deployed to the Mideast. His pre deployment was in San Diego. I came out for a his last week here. He had reserved a room close to Villa. It sucked! We went for a walk the next morning and saw John's place. Walked in and stayed for Kev's last 5 days in the States. Kev is home safe. We still talk about what a great place it is. Glad to here John is still there. Deb RUSCH and Kevin Smith...we wil be back!
