The 1960's was a revolutionary time for diving, with significant improvements to underwater diving apparatus and underwater timing instruments. Leading the charge was Oris, and now they've reached back into their archives for the Oris Divers Sixty-Five Watch. The follow-up to the critically acclaimed blue-dialed version, the green Oris arrives with an updated look of the original while retaining retro details like the slim case line, thin bezel, and trapezoid date window. It's also taken advantage of 21st-century watchmaking techniques with Swiss Made automatic movement, bubble-curved glass made of scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and anti-reflective coating on the inside to reduce glare and increase legibility while underwater. This direct descendant of one of Oris's first diver's comes with a choice of three straps and a metal bracelet, and successfully melds the groundbreaking features of the original with modern enhancements for a diver that's in a class by itself.
The Casper mattress is obsessively designed, but it gets covered up most of the time. The Casper sheets let you enjoy the same engineering and aesthetic. Made from super soft Supima cotton, they're crisp and comfortable but also breathable and durable. Fine details like labels on the short sides of the fitted sheet, envelope-closures on the pillowcases, and hidden openings on the corners of the duvet cover make even the process of putting them on a delight. Each set includes flat and fitted sheets, pillowcases, and you can add a duvet cover.

These are some random thoughts about online community moderating. No doubt you have some great recommended practises and some pet peeves. Would love to see them in the comments and I will add the best one to the post and credit you. Online communities now over 20 years old. They are still very much a rapidly growing factor in our lives. They are a big contributor to this age of connection. Companies and many many offline social groups are finding it increasingly useful to also meet up online. Nearly all of us are active in some or maybe even many. How many cool people have you connected to via some online community? As a competent online community moderator you can become an incredibly potent connector of people and facilitator of exchange of ideas. Conversely as a poor moderator you can severely damage a brand.
What are things a moderator can do to help a community grow? How to create an environment where people are comfortable in taking the step to post a message, comment or review? Members will not necessarily converse online any more freely than they will stand up before a large crowd and share their ideas. You must nurture, encourage and be patient and forgiving.
1. If You Want to Make Friends, Be Friendly.
Nobody likes an overbearing or condescending moderator. be kind and considerate. Be welcoming, be fun. Always consider how you would like to be treated. When people are paying to be part of your community your level of service has to rise even further. Members will not necessarily converse online any more freely than they will stand up before a large crowd and share their ideas. You must nurture, encourage and be patient and forgiving. Be impartial and unbiased.
2. Ignore Trolls
You will inevitably get trolls. People who are there just to get a reaction from others. Inevitably these people do not use their real name. You can choose to argue with them or berate them or you can chose to ignore them. Ignoring them makes them go away faster.
3. Ban Influencers or Payers as a Last Resort Only
Be very careful when block or banning people who have paid you money to be part of the community or people who have passion and/or influence. These people may well become heavily critical of you. Nurture and communicate thee people. They may end up be very useful advisors. At the very least communicate one on one with these people before banning them. You may well be missing an important part of the puzzle.
4. Give the People What They Want
The community is not necessarily about what you want it to be. Listen carefully to thoughts and ideas of members. Ask lots of questions rather than making dictatorial statements and threats. The whole point is to find a way to help the participants share the spotlight.
5. Get Training
Online community moderation is a very specialized and complex skill. If you are at all serious about doing it well take any chance you can get to learn. Seek out You Tube videos, podcasts, books, blogs anything. Especially when people are paying you to be a moderator.
6. Promote Your Community and It`s Members
You will always have attrition so keep new members coming in and older members coming back by promoting your community either by email marketing, social media posts, whatever works. If possible keep your community open to public view and encourage promotion of posts by members. Reward and thank them when they do.

I got a renewal letter from my insurance company, I went on Confused.com
& from the same insurance company was given a quote £34 less than the renewal price. I tried to call the company but was put on hold, after a while I hung up. Co-incidentally the firm rang me back the same day.
When I told them they said OK you can have it for that price. Thanks to Confused .com I'm £34 pound better off.

I had stay in macau for 3d2n after my hong kong trip before i travel back to Malaysia. Initially, my sister have book for Sintra hotel via agoda but i decided to stay in hard rock hotel because i planned to go for the house of dancing water show. We cancelled the Sintra htl booking but unfortunately 26/10 (saturday) is full house for hard rock thus i only able to book for 27/10- 28/10 and stay one night in a 3 star hotel near Ruins of St Pauls.
Even though, is a bit hassle to stay in 2 different hotels in macau but is really worth to stay in hard rock hotel with their excellent services. I reached the hotel around 1.30pm but was told by them that the rooms are not ready but they promise to put all our luggage in the room when the room are ready while we can spend our time to walk around.
After we came back from the city walk, we took the hotel key and went up to the room, a big surprise that our luggages are not in both htl rooms (i booked 2 rooms ). Immediately i rang the operator to inform them on my luggage issues. Initially, we were disappointed but within 10 minutes they send our luggage up and apology to us and refuse to take the "tips" because of the mistake.
I always believe we are human and making mistake are common as long as we don't repeat and willing to change and solve it immediately. Therefore, i'm happy for hotelier can resolve less than 10 minutes time. I have encountered the same problem in other hotels before but it take me hour to resolve and the service and attitude of the hotelier can't compete with hard rock.
I'm impress with hard rock macau because they have a bunch of young hotelier who are really friendly and helpful,..when ever i need any help, they will offer themselves to guide me.
I have visited Venetian and Sofitel hotel in macau, my personal comment is hard rock provide the best customer service. Hard rock will be my priority list on the hotel to stay in future especially Hard rock Macau. Thanks and you guy really fantastic!
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):

If I sit up in my chair at Agora Financial, look out the window to my right, and squint, I can just about see the Unilever Building.
It's hard to miss Unilever HQ around this part of London. Its a big imposing stone thing at the corner of Embankment and Blackfriars bridge. Like it's guarding the entrance to the City of London.
It reminds me a bit of the Rockefeller Centre in Manhattan. They were both built at the end of the roaring 1920's. They were both built in stone, in the art deco style. They're both obviously meant to impress. They both have strange sculptures of heroic men harnessing the world's energy, like something out of an Ayn Rand book: at Unilever he's taming a horse; at Rockefeller he's carrying the world on his broad shoulders.
The buildings are monuments to industry. And if any company deserves a monument I suppose it's Unilever. It's been a giant multinational for over a century, one of the crown jewels of the UK economy. It's worth over £120bn.
Now, this newsletter is all about finding fast-moving, fast-growing investing opportunities. So why am I writing about an old blue-blood like Unilever?
I'm writing about Unilever because something important is happening there. I think its business model is starting to crack. And I've found a way to profit.
7 trillion of soap and margerine
Unilever is part of the consumer packaged goods (CPG) industry. CPG companies basically make all the things you find in a supermarket. You might not realise it, but a small number of big companies like Unilever, Nestlé and Proctor & Gamble own most of the supermarket brands. The same company makes your soap, margarine, deodorant and frozen pizza. Small competitors find it hard to get a look in – giants like Unilever either squash them or buys them up.
The CPG giants make huge money, year after year. Last year, CPG was worth more than eight trillion dollars. That's trillion, with a t. The giants have dominated that business for over a century. That's how they were able to afford a giant stone headquarters in 1929. And it's how they're still occupying it.
The cracks
I said that I think their business model is starting to crack.
Over the last number of months I've been researching the CPG industry. And there's something important happening there.
The "moats" which they use to defend their business don't work as well as they used to. Tiny startups have figured out a way across.
In the last few months I've targeted two tiny companies which are starting to tap the CPG market. And they're gorging themselves, like a mosquito biting an elephant.
This week in Risk and Reward I'll present some of what I've found. And if you'd like the full story – including the two companies which are breaking through – click here to find out about The Penny Share Letter.

holiday cottages lincolnshire, self catering lincolnshire, holiday accommodation uk cottages, vacation united kingdom, country cottages, acommodation, accomodation, rural, peaceful, superb, award winning, getaway, holiday vacation cottages lincolnshire, away from it all, historic monuments and buildings, english heritage where history was made
It was in 1541, on 9 August, the king, Henry VIII, visited Lincoln; with him was his new queen, Catherine Howard and, of course, the attendant court. It will be remembered by those only vaguely acquainted with Lincolnshire history that the year 1536 was the year of the Lincolnshire Rising and Pilgrimage of Grace. A handful of years later, this was the occasion for the city to make amends and put on a show of its loyalty.
Five years after that troubled year, which had cost many lives, Henry decided to pass through the city of Lincoln on his way to Yorkshire. An account of that visit, written by one of the heralds, was to be found in the manuscripts department of the British Museum; it is now in the British Library. The description of the visit is based on a transcript as sent in a letter from Frederic Madden, FSA, to Henry Ellis , FRS, in, apparently, 1831. Madden states this account was found '…in a volume among Additional MSS…consisting of various Ceremonials…written in the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I… on folio 179.' I regret my inability to cite a more recent reference in the BRitish Library. My source is the journal of the Society of Antiquaries, which states it was read at a meeting on 20 January, 1831. The reference given is MS Add 6113, f179b.
The burden of the account and its significance to this site is two-fold: 1] it was 'by evidence of the fatal night', 6-7 August, in Lincoln that Catherine's adultery with Thomas Culpepper was proven; and 2] the intrinsic interest of such an account.
It will be remembered that Catherine had at one time been engaged to Culpepper; also that she had, previously, had affairs with her music teacher and with Francis Dereham, who became her secretary after the marriage to Henry in July 1540. Just over a year later she was found out: she lost her head, literally. In early 1542, parliament passed a bill in answer to the king's rage which declared it treason for an unchaste woman (presumably, one who was not a virgin) to marry the king. She was executed in February . For Henry the humiliation was too much; he turned into an angry, bitter, paranoid man, devilled by the need for a male heir to the throne -- the constant impulse to his marriages. The succession was every king's waking nightmare: he must ensure that any child born to his wife was in fact his, and not an impertinent courtier's
Concerning the description of the visit, Madden states that:
The handwriting of the article is that of William Colbourne, Rouge-dragon [one of the four Pursuivants of the English College of Arms], and York Herald, to which latter office he was appointed in 1564...the details of the procession, the dresses of the King and Queen Catharine Howard and their suite, will serve to illustrate the mode in which these progresses were usually conducted, whilst the general and close resemblance of Henry's entry into Lincoln to that of Richard the Second and his Queen into London, on a similar occasion, will not fail to strike those who have read the description of the latter by Richard de Maydestone [sic] preserved in the Bodleian Library.'
Sir Henry Ellis (1777-1869) was Keeper of Printed Books and, later, Principal Librarian at the British Museum. Sir Frederic Madden, (1801-1873) was Head Keeper of Manuscripts, also at the British Museum; he was also a founding member of the Athenaeum.

3 reasons why you should monitor your pets
Many of the pet owners leave the pets alone in their home when they are going for work. You need to understand that when you're going to work, you have to get some kind of monitoring device in order to monitor your pets. When you're able to do that, it would become easier for you to not only monitor the pets but also to ensure that your house is always in proper condition as well. That is why it is important for you to always understand that you should try and monitor your pets.
We would discuss with the 3 different reasons as to why you should monitor your pets.
Avoid injury
When you're able to monitor the behavior of the pets,they are able to understand what are the things which are accessible to the pets. This is in the future, you would be able to keep things away and you would be able to prevent any pet injury. This would ensure that you are able to keep your pet healthy for a pretty long period of time.
Ensure care
If the pet is injured or if there is any other problem with the pet, you would be able to know instantly with the help of proper monitoring. Most of the monitoring devices which are being used for the pets actually transmit the video live. That is why, if there is any incident, you would be able to know about it directly. When you're able to know about the untoward incident directly, it would become much easier for you to take care of your pets.

Continuing Education Returns to Metro with New LearnOn Program
Wine and Beer Tasting 101 is one of the twelve classes offered by LearnOn.
Do you want to learn something new, but don't have time for a full-semester course? Or simply can't afford what a school is charging? Metropolitan State University of Denver's new LearnOn program is offering twelve affordable, short-term classes that make it easy for anyone to continue their education.
See also: Can Craftsy, Denver's Arty Online Education Company, Turn You Into a Top Chef?
As Metropolitan State College, the school offered a similar continued education program, Learning for Living, three decades ago. Mary Ann Watson, who is leading the LearnOn program, had taught classes for Learning for Living; she has been a psychology professor at Metro for 41 years.
The courses being offered in LearnOn were inspired by suggestions from a survey given to 30,637 MSU Denver graduates; twelve classes were created from the top twenty suggestions. Several focus on building life skills such as cooking, speaking another language, and launching a business. Others are much more specific, including an intro to rock climbing, wine and beer tasting, and Journey to Space, a class about how satellites work. "You'll see something from almost every area of the school," says Watson. "I kind of based it on different activities around Denver."

The new classes will be rolled out this month through the spring; they're divided into two sections, with two classes in each. The History of Denver class will likely involve a lot of walking tours, Watson notes, so teaching it in April seemed like a better choice than teaching it in January.
Tuitions may depending on whether extra materials are needed, but half the classes cost a flat $80 and are capped at 25 students. "We will run them if they have at least five people," Watson says.
Watson, whose area of study is mostly around gender, will not be teaching a class of her own in this first round of LearnOn, but she hasn't ruled it out. "Maybe in the future, but right now I just want to get this under way," she explains.

I happened to drive up Maple this evening and made a loop around the block. Here's a pic of the hole. It goes back pretty far. I'm wondering if they are building another house on the footprint proposed by KA. The only other scenario I could see is AXO going there because their house looks to be smaller than the others which have been announced.
I didn't know whether to post this here or in the storm of the century thread. So I chose both.https://twitter.com/UAtrav/status/865369734484766720
It's a mad rush to get specific projects finished before WM shareholders. I'm going to enjoy being able to go to Dickson again for 2 months, but I do miss the "scenery"on the greenway between maple and Dickson
It's summer, so multiple Greek expansions are underway, as is the new tradition. Here's ZTA's giant expansion. They aren't stopping until all the SoRats are 40,000 sq ft behemoths, apparently.

I have been working at Dex One full-time
In an growing space with Internet advertising and small business.
Struggling with changing with new product lines
Advice to Management
Keep pushing through to change
I worked at Dex One full-time
They have great benefits. Colleagues are supportive and eager to help. There's a wide range of products.
They are not good at customer support. It takes many requests before someone takes action to take care of non-performing products.
Advice to Management
Listen to the suggestions of employees. They care about making the company a leader in digital marketing solutions and the satisfaction of their customers.
I worked at Dex One full-time (More than 8 years)
outside sales, free time to look for another job
Was a good company. print is dead now and that was the cash cow. They are moving towards a digital company but to slowly. They do not have a monopoly with the digital like they did with print and they are not offering great digital products. They also are using a lot of smoke and mirrors with their customers making them believe that they are delivering more then they are. Advertisers beware. Management is to interested in KPI (reports) which everyone knows how to manipulate.
Management has favorites (even so they say they don't but they do) Makes it hard to come to work when you are constantly told you should be as good as.... well heck I could be that good if I was the chosen one! Everyone is jumping ship ask yourself why.
Advice to Management
read all the cons on this site and realize that 90% are spot on. unfortunately they do not care since they are going to merge with supermedia and then half of the brass will take their money and run.
this company will not be worth looking at for at least another five years.

Google Maps to Provide Real Time Transit Info in Six Cities
Wednesday, June 08, 2011
(Transportation Nation) Google announced this morning it would provide real-time transit information for mobile apps and desktops in six cities. Which is to say, not when your bus or train is supposed to arrive, but when it is actually going to arrive, based on where it actually is.
From a Google press release this morning:
"Starting now, Google Maps for mobile and desktop can tell you when your ride is actually going to arrive with new live transit updates. We partnered with transit agencies to integrate live transit data in four U.S. cities and two European cities: Boston, Portland, Ore., San Diego, San Francisco, Madrid and Turin."
We'll have more, plus a test run in SF, coming soon.

Video: Ray Lahood Bikes To Work [UPDATED]
Monday, June 06, 2011
Ray LaHood Bikes to Work from Jay Mallin on Vimeo.
[UPDATED to add Video - AG]
The DOT just pointed us toward this video of Transpo Secretary Ray LaHood biking to work. He just oozes Washington, D.C. pride, calling the area "one of the most livable communities in America."
And, in response to an off camera question, he says "everybody has a right to the roadways, and certainly cyclists."
Original post:
As promised, U.S. Secretary of Transportation rode a bike to work today. Heres' how he describes it on his blog: "This morning I biked to work with a group of DOT commuters from the Washington Monument to our headquarters building. The route was safe and well-marked; we enjoyed some exercise; and we didn't burn a drop of gas--which saved us some money.
That's what I call a successful commute."
Comments, folks?
Obama in Jeep Plant as Auto Jobs Drop
Friday, June 03, 2011
(Transportation Nation) It can't be quite the punctuation the President wanted at the end of a week of full-court press on the auto-industry rebound. Manufacturers cut 5,000 jobs in the last month, including a drop of 3,400 jobs in the automobile sector.
If you check the White House chart from earlier in the week, you'll see that, basically since the bailouts, auto jobs have been on a steady march upwards. The White House has been all over that news this week -- V.P. Joe Biden gave the weekly address about it (the President was in Europe), the White House issued a report, and today the President was in Toledo.
So they can't be happy that today's jobs report shows auto numbers down, even though analysts are attributing that mainly to Japanese tsunami-related disruptions, and an economy stumbling as gas prices rise.
And yet, the President, fortifed by chili dogs, continued undaunted at the Chrysler Toledo Assembly complex. Here's the pool report from Toledo, followed by the Presidents' remarks. You can also check out the Republican National Committee Video on the bailout, essentially scoffing at the President's suggestion that Americans got their money back from the auto bailout.
"POTUS arrived from Rudy's at the Chrysler Toledo Assembly complex at about 12:45 pm and toured the line for assembling the 2011 Jeep Wrangler, making several stops to watch mechanized assemblage of the Jeep's front grill and its instrument panel. He was greeted respectfully rather than enthusiastically by the workers demonstrating for him, many wearing red-and-white company T-shirts. When he got to the end of his tour, he approached a woman in a red-and-white shirt that instead said "President OBAMA" next to another woman in a black Obama '08 campaign T-shirt. "Those are nice shirts," POTUS told them. The woman in the red "President OBAMA" shirt spun around to show the words on the back: "THANK YOU." He wrapped her in a big hug.
"As he was leaving, a couple people asked to pose with him for a photo. Immediately, the other workers were hustling from the other points on the floor and pretty soon there was a group shot of at least two dozen people surrounding POTUS.
"Then he was off to the waiting audience about 100' away for his open remarks."
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you. Thank you, everybody. Thank you. Everybody, please have a seat. Please have a seat.
It is good to be back in Toledo. (Applause.) It is good to be with all of you. Now, for those of you who I've met up close, I just want you to know that I stopped by Rudy's -- (laughter) -- had two hot dogs, two chili dogs with onions. So I've been looking for a mint backstage. (Laughter.) It tasted pretty good going down though.
It is wonderful to see you. We've got some outstanding public servants who are here who've been working hard on behalf of working Americans their entire careers. One of the finest senators that I know of, Senator Sherrod Brown, is in the house. (Applause.) Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur is in the house. (Applause.) Your mayor is in the house. Give him a big round of applause. (Applause.)
I just took a short tour of the plant and watched some of you putting the finishing touches on the Wrangler. Now, as somebody reminded, I need to call it the "iconic" Wrangler. (Laughter.) And that's appropriate because when you think about what Wrangler has always symbolized. It symbolized freedom, adventure, hitting the open road, never looking back -- which is why Malia and Sasha will never buy one. (Laughter.) Until maybe they're 35. (Laughter.) I don't want any adventure for them.
I want to thank Jill for the kind introduction. Somebody on my staff asked Jill to describe herself in three words or less, and she said "hard working." Hard working. And her entire family agreed. So she's with the right team here at this plant because I know there are a lot of hard-working people here. And I am -- (applause) -- I'm proud of all of you. Jill was born and raised right here in Toledo. Her mother retired from this plant. Her stepfather retired from this plant. Her uncle still works at this plant. She met her husband at this plant. Now they have two children of their own, and her three-year-old wants to work at this plant. (Laughter.)
I don't think her story is unique. I'm sure there are a lot of you who have similar stories of previous generations working for Chrysler. And this plant, or the earlier plant that used to -- that I guess is still right down the road, this is the economic rock of the community. You depend on it, and so do thousands of Americans. The Wrangler you build here directly supports 3,000 other jobs, with parts manufactured all across America. Doors from Michigan. Axles from Kentucky. Tires from Tennessee. And this plant indirectly supports hundreds of other jobs right here in Toledo. After all, without you, who'd eat at Chet's or Inky's or Rudy's? Or who'd buy all those cold ones at Zinger's? (Laughter and applause.) This guy right here? That's the Zinger crew right there. (Laughter.) All right. What would be life like here in Toledo if you didn't make these cars?
Now, two years ago, we came pretty close to finding out. We were still near the bottom of a vicious recession -- the worst that we've seen in our lifetimes -- and ultimately, that recession cost 8 million jobs. And it hit this industry particularly hard. So in the year before I took office, this industry lost more than 400,000 jobs. In the span of a few months, one in five American autoworkers got a pink slip. And two great American companies, Chrysler and GM, stood on the brink of liquidation.
Now, we had a few options. We could have followed the status quo and kept the automakers on life support by just giving them tens of billions of dollars of taxpayer money, but never really dealing with the structural issues at these plants. But that would have just kicked the problem down the road.
Or we could have done what a lot of folks in Washington thought we should do, and that is nothing. We could have just let U.S. automakers go into an uncontrolled freefall. And that would have triggered a cascade of damage all across the country. If we let Chrysler and GM fail, plants like this would have shut down, then dealers and suppliers across the country would have shriveled up, then Ford and other automakers could have failed, too, because they wouldn't have had the suppliers that they needed. And by the time the dominos stopped falling, more than a million jobs, and countless communities, and a proud industry that helped build America's middle class for generations wouldn't have been around anymore.
So in the middle of a deep recession, that would have been a brutal and irreversible shock to the entire economy and to the future of millions of Americans. So we refused to let that happen.
I didn't run for President to get into the auto business –- I've got more than enough to do. I ran for President because too many Americans felt their dreams slipping away from them. That core idea of America –- that if you work hard, if you do right, if you're responsible, that you can lead a better life and most importantly pass on a better life to your kids -- that American Dream felt like it was getting further and further out of reach.
Folks were working harder for less. Wages were flat while the cost of everything from health care to groceries kept on going up. And as if things weren't hard enough, the bottom fell out of the economy in the closing weeks of that campaign back in 2008, so life got that much harder.
So I want everybody to understand, our task hasn't just been to recover from the recession. Our task has been to rebuild the future on a stronger foundation than we had before to make sure that you can see your incomes and your savings rise again. And you can retire with security and respect again. And you can open doors of opportunity for your kids again. And we can live out the American Dream again. That's what we're fighting for. (Applause.) That's what we're fighting for.
So that's what drives me every day as I step into the Oval Office. That's why we stood by the American auto industry. It was about you -- your families, your jobs, your lives, your dreams -– making sure that we were doing everything possible to keep them within reach.
So we decided to do more than just rescue the industry from crisis. We decided to retool it for a new age. We said that if everyone involved was willing to take the tough steps and make the painful sacrifices that were needed to become competitive, then we'd invest in your future and the future of communities like Toledo; that we'd have your back.
So I placed my bet on you. I put my faith in the American worker. And I'll tell you what -- I'm going to do that every day of the week, because what you've done vindicates my faith.
Today, all three American automakers are turning a profit. That hasn't happened since 2004. Today, all three American automakers are gaining market share. That hasn't happened since 1995. And today, I'm proud to announce the government has been completely repaid for the investments we made under my watch by Chrysler because of the outstanding work that you guys did. (Applause.) Because of you. (Applause.)
Chrysler has repaid every dime and more of what it owes the American taxpayer from the investment we made during my watch. And by the way, you guys repaid it six years ahead of schedule. (Applause.) And last night, we reached an agreement to sell the government's remaining interest in the company. So, soon, Chrysler will be 100 percent in private hands. Early. Faster than anybody believed. (Applause.)
So I couldn't be prouder of what you've done. And what's most important, all three American automakers are now adding shifts and creating jobs at the strongest rate since the 1990s. So far the auto industry has added 113,000 jobs over the past two years. In Detroit, Chrysler added a second shift at its Jefferson North plant. GM is adding a third shift at its Hamtramck plant for the first time ever. In Indiana, Chrysler is investing more than $1.3 billion in its Kokomo facilities. And across the country, GM plans to hire back every single one of its laid-off workers by the end of the year -- every single one.
And that makes a difference for everyone who depends on this industry. Companies like a small precision tooling manufacturer in Vandergrift, Pennsylvania, have brought back many of the employees they had laid off two years ago. Manufacturers from Michigan to Massachusetts are looking for new engineers to build advanced batteries for American-made electric cars. And obviously, Chet's and Inky's and Zinger's, they'll all have your business for some time to come -- especially those guys over there. (Laughter.)
So this industry is back on its feet, repaying its debts, gaining ground. Because of you, we can once again say that the best cars in the world are built right here in the U.S. of A., right here in Ohio, right here in the Midwest. (Applause.) And each day when you clock in, you're doing more than earning your pay by churning out cars. You're standing up for this company. You're sticking up for this way of life. You're scoring one for the home team and showing the world that American manufacturing and American industry is back.
Now, I don't want to pretend like everything is solved. We've still got a long way to go not just in this industry, but in our economy; for all our friends, all our neighbors who are still feeling the sting of recession. There's nobody here who doesn't know someone who is looking for work and hasn't found something yet. Even though the economy is growing, even though it's created more than 2 million jobs over the past 15 months, we still face some tough times. We still face some challenges. This economy took a big hit. You know, it's just like if you had a bad illness, if you got hit by a truck, it's going to take a while for you to mend. And that's what's happened to our economy. It's taking a while to mend.
And there are still some headwinds that are coming at us. Lately, it's been high gas prices that have caused a lot of hardship for a lot of working families. And then you had the economic disruptions following the tragedy in Japan. You got the instability in the Middle East, which makes folks uncertain. There are always going to be bumps on the road to recovery. We're going to pass through some rough terrain that even a Wrangler would have a hard time with. We know that.
AUDIENCE: No!
THE PRESIDENT: A Wrangler can go over anything, huh? (Laughter.)
But you know what, we know what's happened here. We know what's possible when we invest in what works. And just as we succeeded in retooling this industry for a new age, we've got to rebuild this whole economy for a new age, so that the middle class doesn't just survive, but it also thrives.
These are tight fiscal times. You guys have all heard about the deficit and the debt, and that demands that we spend wisely, cut everywhere that we can. We've got to live within our means. Everybody's got to do their part. Middle-class workers like you, though, shouldn't be bearing all the burden. You work too hard for someone to ask you to pay more so that somebody who's making millions or billions of dollars can pay less. That's not right. (Applause.)
And even though we're in tough times, there are still some things that we've got to keep on doing if we're going to win the future. We can't just sit back and stop. We got business we got to do. We got to make sure that our schools are educating our kids so that they can succeed. I was looking at all the gizmos and gadgets you got in this plant here -- it's a lot more complicated working on a plant than it used to be. Kids have to know math and science.
We got to have a transportation and communications network that allows our businesses to compete. We used to have the best roads, the best bridges, the best airports. In a lot of places we don't have that anymore. If you go to China, Beijing, they've got a fancier airport. You go to Europe, they got fancier trains, better roads. We can't let our infrastructure just crumble and fall apart. We're American. We've got to make that investment. (Applause.)
We've got to invest in innovation that will pave the way for future prosperity. We invented stuff that the world now uses and the world now makes. We've got to keep on inventing stuff and make sure it's made right here in America. And that requires investments. (Applause.) That requires investments in basic research and basic science.
So these are all things that will help America out-innovate, out-educate, out-compete, out-hustle everybody else in the world. I want America to win the future, and I want our future to be big and optimistic, not small and fearful.
So we've got a lot of hard work that's left to do, Ohio. We've got a lot of work to do. But we're going to get there. And if anybody tells you otherwise, I want you to remember the improbable turnaround that's taken place here at Chrysler. I want you to remember all those folks who were -- all those voices who were saying no -- saying no, we can't. Because, Toledo, you showed that this was a good investment, betting on America's workers.
What we see here is a proud reminder that in difficult times, Americans, they dig deep, they recapture the toughness that makes us who we are –- builders and doers who never stop imagining a better future. What I see here is a reminder of the character that makes us great –- that we're a people who will forge a better future because that's what we do. What I see here is an America that is resilient, an America that understands that when we come together, nobody can stop us.
So I'll tell you what -– I'm going to keep betting on you. And as long as I continue to have the privilege of being the President of the United States, I'm going to keep fighting alongside you for a future that is brighter for this community, for Toledo, for Ohio, for America. Thank you. God bless you. God bless the United States of America. (Applause.)
Christie to Reimburse New Jersey for Helicopter Travel
Thursday, June 02, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) This just in from Gov. Christie's office regarding his use of state aircraft to travel to his son's baseball game, along with an itemized list of flights which you can see here.
"Attached, please find a list of instances in which State Police helicopters were used for travel. The total number attributable to the Governor is 33. Another flight was by the Lieutenant Governor, and one other was for transporting support staff for consecutive press conferences in the Meadowlands and Atlantic City to announce the recommendations of the Hanson Commission. The spreadsheet lists the date and purpose of use.
"Also, though the Superintendent of the State Police noted yesterday the travel does not cost taxpayers additional dollars, the Governor understands the sensitivity about this kind of thing and believes he owes it to the public to ensure that this is not a distraction. As such, the Governor is reimbursing for the last two trips dated 5/27 and 5/31 in the amounts of $919.20 and $1232.30, respectively."
NYC Mayor Bloomberg Touts Bus Rapid Transit, Sort Of
Thursday, June 02, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) Speaking from the C-40 conference on cities and climate change from Sao Paolo on The Takeaway this morning, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg seemed to endorse the idea of more Bus Rapid Transit in New York. It's the first time I've heard him tout BRT on a national media program.
I say sort of, because Mayor Bloomberg didn't quite say BRT, though he seemed to be reaching for those words. You'll just have to listen. ( About 4:40 in)
Here's what he did say:
"We focus on mass transit. Other cities focus on more roads, we're not going to have more roads in New York City. We can have better mass transit and a lot of these things, buses, much more rapid trans—buses, rapid -- buses that don't sepnd as much time at lights and that reduce the time of getting on and off."
In New York City, Mayor Bloomberg's DOT has presided over the launch of there are two s0-called "Select Bus" routes, one in the Bronx, and one in Manhattan. The buses have some BRT-like features (like off-board payment and red-light signal priority) thought according to ITDP, New York's select buses aren't exactly BRT.
Bloomberg also noted on The Takeaway that just 20 percent of New York's pollution comes from transportation and about 80 percent from buildings, the reverse of most other cities, since New Yorker's live so densely and rely on transit far more than in any other city in the U.S.
Did NJ Gov Christie Copter to Son's Game Because of Sprawl?
Thursday, June 02, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) New Jersey is a famously congested state. Though it's got one of the most extensive transit networks in the country, it's also got more roads per square mile than any other state.
So when the famously cost cutting NJ Governor Chris Christie 'coptered over to his son's ballgame the other day, there was both outrage and a possible defense, outlined by Fairleigh Dickenson Public Mind Poll Director Peter Woolley. "I think a good defense is that this is the sprawl state and so it's very difficult to get from one place to another, even when the roads are in good shape," Woolley told WNYC's Bob Hennelly.
But still. Even though Christie was headed to a son's game, he may not have such an easy time playing the family card as he did last winter, when he explained an absence from the state during one of the worst winter blizzards by saying he wasn't going to apologize for vacationing with his family.
Christie may helicopter less frequently than some of his predecessors, but it's almost impossible to spin something like this well. If you're not the President of the United States, you pretty much can't win on the optics of getting a better form of transport than your average Joe, especially if taxpayers are footing the bill.

White House: Auto Industry "Resurgent"
Wednesday, June 01, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) On the second anniversary of General Motors' declaration of bankruptcy, the White House is capping a weeks' worth of activities designed to tout that fact with a report documenting what it's calling "The Resurgence of the American Automotive Industry."
As we've reported, the President has gotten little credit for Detroit's crawl out of its hole. Democrats took a bath in Michigan this December, in what was, in 2008, such a desperate situation for Republicans that John McCain never fought for the state.
But this week, beginning with a radio address last week by Vice President Joe Biden (while the President was in Europe), continuing with the report, and culminating Friday with a trip to a Jeep plant, the Obama administration is trying to claim credit for the jobs created in the auto industry.
The report says the industry has added 115,000 jobs, which it says is the fastest rate of growth in over a decade.
It's part of the administration's march out of its own hole .
You can read the full report here.
Panasonic Move to Newark: It's Because We Don't Want Employees To Drive
Saturday, May 28, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) When Panasonic announced it would move to Newark recently, it cited Newark's extensive transit system as a reason for picking the relatively depressed New Jersey city over say, Silicon Valley. But NJ also has a one-of-a-kind tax incentive package for companies that locate near transit, so it paid off to be green. Full story here.

Pump Prices Drive Weekend Plans Off Course
Friday, May 27, 2011
As memorial day approaches, Americans are topping off their gas tanks and getting ready for a long weekend away from home. But with gas prices creeping up across the country, American travel patterns are beginning to shift accordingly. For just over a week now, The Takeaway has been asking listeners to text us the price at their local pump. We've collated the information on an interactive map. In this conversation we discuss some of our findings with Andrea Bernstein, Director of the Transportation Nation project and senior correspondent for our flagship station WNYC.
New NYC Transit Site Easier To Use, Unless You're Mobile
Thursday, May 26, 2011
(New York, NY -- John Keefe, WNYC -- ANALYSIS) The MTA took a step toward giving New Yorkers fresh, crisp transit information with a revamped website yesterday.
The site is much clearer, with key information right up top: service status by line, links into train and bus pages, and a slick new version of its "Trip Planner" to guide New Yorkers from Point A to Point B.
It's also much easier to find maps and schedules. Particularly nice is the consolidation of bus schedules by borough (the previous site listed some express lines by company, which was very confusing).
The bus schedules and maps themselves, though, are still in PDF format -- literally electronic representations of the paper versions -- which are frustratingly difficult to use on mobile devices. And there are no bus schedules on the mobile version of the site, which didn't get the same revamp.
Fortunately there's now a gallery loaded with third-party apps and services that serve MTA data in more useful, mobile formats. (Full disclosure: The gallery includes two free services I built with live bus data.)
Hard to find from the revamped site are two cool MTA features: The system that proves a train delay made you late for work, and a live map of bus locations on the B63 line in Brooklyn.
Beyond the "status update" widget, real-time schedule information remains woefully lacking. Other metropolitan transit sites, such the one serving Minneapolis and St. Paul, put live bus and rail information right on the home page. Not even third-party programmers can help here until the agency makes subway and bus location information more available.
So the new site is definitely a step in the right direction. But not a leap.
Christie Pulls Plug on Greenhouse Gas Initiative For NJ
Thursday, May 26, 2011
(New York, NY -- Ilya Marritz, WNYC) UPDATED WITH VIDEO New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is withdrawing New Jersey from a greenhouse gas emissions reduction program by the end of the year.
The cap-and-trade program — the Northeast Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative — requires power plants in 10 northeast states to buy emissions credits for every ton of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.
In recent months, Christie cast doubt on the science of global warming, and eliminated the state's Office of Climate Change.
"The whole system is not working as it was intended to work," Christie said. "It is a failure."
But State Senate President Steve Sweeney said the program "has wide-spread support and its principles are largely endorsed by the people of New Jersey. Removing New Jersey from RGGI can only cause harm to our state's environment."
The New Jersey Sierra Club called the move "an environmental disaster."
Proceeds from the program have been used to fund energy efficiency and environmental programs. Last year, Christie raided the fund to help balance the state's budget.
Here's the video from Christie's office -- note the headline, "NJ's Future is Green," is Christie's office's own spin on the announcement.
Our Survey: As Gas Prices Rise, Americans Drive Less, Carpool More, Take Mass Transit
Thursday, May 26, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) Joe Guyon of Rock Hill, South Carolina says he's bundling his errands and eating locally. A listener in Augusta, GA says he "cuts off his car when I idle." Joe Manrique of North Palm Beach, Florida, says "since my daily commute is approximately 170 miles round trip, I try to walk as much as possible from my office to appointments." A contributor from Flushing New York says "I do my errands on the way home, no matter how tired I am."
Others have started carpooling, gone from being a two-car family to a one-car family, changed over from gasoline to waste vegetable oil fuel, or made sure they bundled errands, rather than driving on multiple shopping trips.
Or they are biking, working from home, going out less, or taking public transit.
Those are some of the findings of our survey with our partner The Takeaway (see map, just below) of gas prices and how they affect behavior. And these results are bolstered by a number of broader gauges of consumer behavior.
The American Public Transit Association is just out with a survey of traveler attitudes on public transit. APTA says some 54 percent of nearly 35,000 Americans queried said they planned to take public transit while vacationing this summer -- up from 51 percent two years ago. APTA spokesman Mantill Williams says that represents millions of travelers who will use transit in 2011 that wouldn't have in 2009.
And smaller cars began to sell more rapidly in April. Hyundai, with its fuel-efficient fleet, reported a record 5.7 percent of the U.S. market. All car sales are up, but for GM in particular, according to information provided to WNYC by Autodata corporation, car sales are increasing faster than truck sales. Escalade sales plummeted. Market share of the tiny Chevy (and inexpensive) Chevy Aveo soared.
In Houston in April, the number of people signing up for a carpool service tripled.
But we've seen this all before -- when gas prices spiked in 2008, and the changes in consumer behavior were sudden, and profound. Until they weren't.
As of March of this year, demand for fuel-efficient cars was still sluggish. In 2010, the Detroit Free Press reported, "hybrid car sales actually shrunk from 2.9 percent of new vehicle sales to 2.4 percent last year."
In May 2008, as gas prices in some areas topped $5.00 a gallon, SUV's were stuck on dealership lots. That month light truck sales -- usually about half of the U.S. market, plummeted to 43 percent of the market, according to figures provide to WNYC by Autodata.
And Americans were driving less, way less.
* In the year Ronald Reagan was elected president, Americans were driving about 672 hundred billion miles a year.
*By 2008, we were driving five times as much. Needless to say, driving far outpaced population growth.
* But as the effects of the gas price hike sunk in, for the first time in well over a generation, Americans drove less on an annual basis –-
It's true, Prius sales had been rising in May 2010, by about 41 percent over the year earlier. But SUV sales were up way more. The Chevy Suburban was up 100 percent over the previous year. The Chevy Equinox was up even more – by 256 percent. "This is absolute proof we have the shortest attention spans on the planet," said Bill Visnic at the time, then a Senior Editor at Edmunds AutoObserver.com. "Just two summers ago, you couldn't give away an SUV." Then, gasoline was approaching $5.00 a gallon. As of March of this year, demand for fuel-efficient cars was still sluggish. In 2010, the Detroit Free Press reported, "hybrid car sales actually shrunk from 2.9 percent of new vehicle sales to 29.9 ">by about 57 billion miles.
* And transit ridership jumped to 10.7 billion trips, the highest in 52 years, according to the American Public Transit Association, or APTA. APTA put ridership increases at well over ten percent in Denver, the state of New Jersey, and Dallas.
But then. Gas prices dropped. In May 2010, gas was a relatively cheap $3.00 a gallon. Americans began driving again. By March of 2011, we were once again driving towards the historic 2008 high -– we were back up to over 2.9 trillion miles traveled.
And SUV sales? Way up. It's true, Prius sales had been rising in May 2010, by about 41 percent over the year earlier. But SUV sales were up way more. The Chevy Suburban was up 100 percent over the previous year. The Chevy Equinox was up even more -– by 256 percent.
"This is absolute proof we have the shortest attention spans on the planet," said Bill Visnic at the time, then a Senior Editor at Edmunds AutoObserver.com. "Just two summers ago, you couldn't give away an SUV."

Taking a Bike on the Train to Hamptons? Not So Fast
Thursday, May 26, 2011
Those headed to the Hamptons for the long weekend on Friday will be out of luck if they want to bring bikes on board the Long Island Rail Road.
Unlike Systems in SF, Denver, Bikes (Mostly) Banned from NY Commuter Rails for Friday Before Memorial Day, But OK on Subways
Thursday, May 26, 2011
(Andrea Bernstein, Transportation Nation) On Memorial Day weekend, bikes are allowed on the subway. In fact, they're allowed on the subway 24/7, year round, though the MTA doesn't recommend it during rush hour. But on the Long Island Railroad? Not on the Friday before memorial day weekend, so that would mean, no bikes on the commuter rail to the Hamptons tomorrow.
Bikes are okay (with a permit) on a very limited number of Metro North trains to upstate counties and Connecticut, but not in both directions, and not at peak times this holiday weekend, one of the busiest driving times of the year, according to the AAA. For the complete rules, and an explanation of why the MTA would seem to be lagging behind commuter rail systems like those in the Bay Area and Denver, which actually encourage bikes on commuter trains, look after the jump.

Church Program Gives Away Bikes to the Undocumented, Poor
Tuesday, May 24, 2011
(Patchogue, NY -- Jennifer Maloney, Transportation Nation) It was early on a Saturday morning, and the gymnasium at the Congregational Church of Patchogue was filled with bicycles. The church was giving them away—no questions asked—to workers who couldn't afford a car, or who couldn't get a driver's license because of their immigration status. As a team of bike mechanics made last-minute adjustments to the donated fleet, Pastor Dwight Wolter welcomed a line of people stretching out the door.
Joselyn Bishop, 38, stepped into the gym and smiled in amazement.
"You're like a kid in a candy store, girl!" Wolter teased.
"Yes, I am," she said, laughing.

Long Island has the biggest commuter railroad in the country, but unless you live and work near a station, it's tough to get around without a car—especially in Suffolk County, where bus service is limited, and on Sundays, service doesn't run at all.
Maryland Light Rail Faces Safety Challenges
Monday, May 23, 2011
Purple Line Lpa Map 2010-04-14(Washington, DC -- David Schultz, WAMU) Cost estimates for the Purple Line project, a light rail line in Maryland that would go from Bethesda to New Carrollton, are rising. But the project's planners say that's not the biggest challenge they face.
The Purple Line's light rail cars would run on the street, next to moving traffic -- in many places, along busy, six-lane roads.
The Maryland Transit Administration's Mike Madden, who's in charge of the project, says figuring out a way to design the Purple Line so it's safe for riders, drivers, and pedestrians is his most important challenge.
"We need to make sure that people standing on a platform that's in the roadway are safe, that they're not going to go out into traffic," Madden says. "We need to very much direct the pedestrian flows."
That's not to say the other major challenge for Madden and the Transit Administration -- money -- will be a piece of cake. Maryland recently hiked the estimated cost for the Purple Line for the second time in three years. It's now expected to cost almost $2 billion.
