Project OverviewProvo Orem TRIP (TRansportation Improvement Project) is a road, transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvement project designed to meet growing transportation needs in Orem and Provo. Community benefits from the project include reducing vehicle trips, supporting the economy and providing transportation choices.
The project is a partnership between the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT), Utah Transit Authority (UTA), Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG), Provo, Orem and Utah County.
Roadway Improvements
The project's roadway improvement component includes roadway widening, bridge replacement, installing pedestrian-friendly crosswalks and improving various intersections along University Parkway and University Avenue. The project will:
- Widen University Parkway, 800 East to University Avenue, adding one new lane in each direction
- Replace University Parkway bridges over the Provo River
- Make intersection improvements on University Parkway at 200 East, Main Street 800 East and 230 North and in Provo at Freedom Boulevard, 400 West, University Avenue and 300 South
Transit Improvements
The project's transit component is a bus rapid transit, or BRT, line. BRT is an innovative, high-capacity public transit solution that can significantly improve urban mobility and increase travel choices in a community. This permanent, integrated system uses specialized buses on roadways and dedicated lanes to quickly and efficiently transport passengers to their destinations. BRT systems can easily be customized to community need and incorporate state-of-the-art, low-cost technologies that result in more passengers and less congestion.
The BRT line will use articulated buses and provide consistent and frequent service through exclusive bus lanes and traffic signal priority. Additionally, the line will feature station amenities similar to those found at TRAX stations (ticket vending machines, level-boarding platforms, high-end shelters, benches and landscaping). The BRT line will connect FrontRunner commuter rail with major Utah Valley destinations such as universities, major employment centers, shopping malls, and downtown Orem and Provo.
Here are some additional BRT details:
- 18 stations
- 25 modern articulated buses – 18 on the road at one time
- 51 percent exclusive lanes
- 6 minute frequency during peak travel times
- 10 to 15 minute frequency during off-peak travel times
Bike and Pedestrian Improvements
Bicyclists and pedestrians are an important element of the Provo Orem TRIP. This includes those traveling through the project corridor as well as those who plan to use the bus. Some improvements for bicycle and pedestrian facilities through the corridor include:
- New and wider sidewalks in many areas where sidewalks were narrow in width or in disrepair
- Upgraded pedestrian ramps in many locations where the current ramps do not meet the most recent standards
- Wider pedestrian ramps at intersections along the College Connector Trail
- A bike lane in each direction along University Avenue from 400 South to 700 North
- A safer gutter adjacent to the bike lanes along 700 North in Provo
- A median curb along 700 North directing pedestrians and bicyclists to cross only in designated areas
- A crossing in Provo at 200 East that directs bicyclists into their own lane across 700 North
- Improvements to widen existing sidewalks along 900 East in Provo to 10-foot-wide multi-use paths
- Increased width and height for the Provo River Trail where it crosses under University Parkway
Project Map
Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat is Provo Orem TRIP?
Provo Orem TRIP (Transportation Improvement Project) is a road, transit, bicycle and pedestrian improvement project designed to meet growing transportation needs in Orem and Provo.
Why is the project needed?
Orem and Provo continue to grow in population as families expand and want to stay in the communities where they grew up and as employment opportunities and university enrollment increase. As growth continues, more vehicles, traffic and delays can be expected, unless we wisely plan and build a balanced transportation system that provides multiple options to meet the increasing demand.
What are the project benefits?
The whole community benefits from the project by reducing vehicle trips, supporting the economy and providing transportation choices. Good transit resources like Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) will provide efficient transportation for thousands of university students and employees and customers of major retail centers as well as additional transportation choices for all Provo and Orem residents. The project provides a way for people to connect to two universities, two malls, two LDS temples, the Missionary Training Center, university sporting events and community events such as the July 4 Freedom Festival.
Who is building Provo Orem TRIP?
The project is a partnership between Utah County, UDOT, UTA, Provo and Orem, with funding coming from existing sources.
When will construction occur?
Preliminary utility work started in late July 2016, with major construction activities beginning in fall 2016. Construction will last approximately two years, and the BRT line will be operational in early 2019.
What can I expect during construction?
Construction on some of Provo and Orem's busiest roads will be a challenge, but the project team is committed to minimizing impacts to drivers, businesses, and the streetscape. Access to all businesses along the project corridor will be maintained during construction. Lane closures will occur at night to help keep traffic moving during the day and help people get to and from local businesses. Mitigation plans are being put in place to handle construction issues like noise and dust and potential changes to landscaping, parking and local events.
What is BRT (Bus Rapid Transit)?
BRT works just like TRAX, with stations, frequent service every five to ten minutes, and pre-paid ticketing, except it runs on a road instead of a rail.
What is the route for the new BRT line?
BRT will run from the Orem Frontrunner station, east on University Parkway, around BYU on 900 East and 700 North and down University Avenue to the Provo FrontRunner Station.

Shaping UpMature
This is a piece of erotica. It is graphic by nature, but artfully so. I might continue the story if it seems successful. Feel free to give feedback, and enjoy!
In an instant she felt him take her. Whether it was with ecstasy or fear, she couldn't tell. The force from when he grabbed her still made her body shudder. Opening her eyes she saw the sleek, black, body of her winged captor. The softness of his feathered frame against her skin made her body tingle. The whole act had been of mythological proportions, and it thrilled her.
Liferia awoke panting, she found her body damp and the sheets had been twisted in a mass on the floor. So had she dreamed the encounter? Sitting up she shivered and remembered the warmth of her lover. He was a raven, and she a dove, both shapeshifters who found the human form uneventful. She stood and examined herself. The transformation had gone smoothly. She wasn't sore this time, and the bruises were fading. It helped that her lithe frame was flexible and tempting.
She put on a robe and walked to the kitchen. Her aching sex beckoned to her with every step. It would just have to wait until later. Liferia made coffee, and stared out the window above the sink, her hands pressing down on the thin border of countertop around it. The bird-feeder was bare, but in the birdbath was a lone black bird. She undid the widow latch and called to him. He flew to the sill, and waited. She sang to him again, and within a moment a man was standing beside her. Liferia smiled. "Good morning, love" she said. He placed his hands on her waist and pressed her against him. She smelled divine. The robe had slipped from her shoulder exposing a pale breast and tender nipple. It enticed him, and he felt himself harden with anticipation.
He wanted her and she knew it. Liferia watched his eyes move to her face as she pulled the robe, covering herself. She would let him have her again, but not quite yet. He was handsome in the white collared shirt and tapering jeans. She could make out his muscled outline under the constraints of his clothes. How lovely he would feel under her hands. Now she was ready. She started to unbutton his shirt, he found the tie on her robe and watched as it descended to the floor, away from her perfect body. Her dark hair framing her face and cascading down her body. He tore his shirt away and she pulled at his jeans.
They danced down the hall to the bedroom. By the time she hit the bed, he was bare and grinning. He held himself above her, teasing her with his tongue. He licked her nipple and sucked on it. She quivered with delight. His hand traced her thigh and reached her mound. Carefully he stroked her lips. She was ready for him, her juices glistening on her pinkness.
Liferia didn't want to leave him unattended she lifted her arm letting her hand feel his stiff cock. She kissed him and he met her with passion. She moaned, and he knew she was his. He spread her legs and in one swift motion entered her. . .

This is the 18-year-old with the face of a doll but physique of a bodybuilder.
Julia Vins is currently going viral for her unique looks that mix beauty with brawn. And she'll show you up in the gym too as she can easily deadlift a cool 400lbs.
Julia has almost 30,000 fans on Instagram and says that locals in her hometown refer to her as the 'Muscle Barbie'.
I have these big, beautiful eyes and wear make-up. But at the same time, I'm strong.
But to be honest, I've noticed that the guys who are negative about my athleticism – are just jealous.
She's pretty honest too!
The Russian babe works out around 20 hours a week and only eats chicken, eggs, rice and veg. She's also the current World Powerlifting champion and has 3 weightlifting world records notched on her belt.
Not bad. Not bad at all.

69 reviews | 4.4 out of 5
this nintendo ds game is so fun. My six year old couldn't wait to play it. It has so many things for her to play. It keeps her very busy. I went to three stores and they were all sold out. I give it a five star rating.
I brought this game for my 6 year old son. He absolutely loves it. In fact, his 8 year and 10 year brothers fight over who gets to play it because they love it too. It is easy enough to learn to play and there are plenty of levels. Initially, I had to read the first set of directions to my youngest son, but then once he got the hang of it, he didn't need anymore help. We have had it for over 3 months now and they still haven't gotten through the entire game.
I bought this game because I watch the show at home with my kids. We started playing the DS Game and we can't put it down. It is good for kids ages 6-adult. I really enjoy playing it as well! Great buy! Worth buying!
My son loves the Phineas and Ferb TV show, so he received this game for Christmas. The game is a fun game to play, but my son is young, and he cannot read yet. He has to have us help him read what the screen says so that he knows what to do next. It would be better if the game actually told him what to do, instead of him needing to read it. But, overall it's a good game for children to play, and when he can read (a year or two) he'll probably enjoy this game more. It does follow along with the show, where you have to find the parts for the boys to build a roller coaster, and you have to make sure that Candace doesn't catch them. After helping my son read the first level, he was able to do a little more on his own, just because he knew how the controls worked, but he still needed us to read some of it to him.
Its The Best I Love It Its So Action Packed
My son likes the game, likes building roller coasters in it and has spent quite a few hours with it. He's mildly disappointed it's not 3D but he knew it wouldn't be when he bought the game.
Wow! My son can't get enough of this game. Santa got this for him for Christmas and he can't wait to play it everyday. I do wish there was a little more. I already beat the game and I heard the second P&F game wasnt as good. But this one is a great game if your not into guns and you dont want to promote violence to young kids.
It's a rad hard to understand but otherwise it's pretty fun.
Great game for a great price!
This is a gift for Christmas.
I bought this for my 6 yr old daughter because she loves this show. However, a ton of reading is required to play this game. I assumed the characters would tell you what to do....not! The price was wonderful...$10...but I guess you get what you pay for. The bad thing is these games are non-refundable once opened. Maybe she will still like the show in two years when she is able to read and play the game on her own. In the meantime, someone has to be with her to read the instructions to her while she plays.
I bought this game online for ten dollars. It was a very good deal. My son has played this game for several hours and it was well worth the money.
kind of hard for my daughter to figure out how to play the differnt games, she spent a long time having phineus chase ferb and that was it
Kids like this game, and my husband and I do too! Find ourselves asking the boys to play their DS. :)
OK. My 8 yr old son felt it easy at the beginning and harder at the end.
This was a very good product. due to the fact that it is a Disney charcater inspired game.
As al video games are finished I found that I fnished this one quite early. If you want to have a long lasting game then don't buy. I ended up selling my game in a garage sale to at least get some money out of it.
Love the show, love the game! It's extremely interesting with so many different levels within a level and combinations of keypad, stylus, and mic, very interactive. Has to be the best game we have ever bought for the DS, the others we have gotten bored of within a day or two. And we play as a family which makes it even better.
My birthday girl (turned 5) loves this show, so we thought she'd enjoy the game. It, however, requires you to read A LOT, and she can't since she doesn't start kindergarten until the fall. She tries to play it, but gets frustrated fast. Definitely for older kids, but I have no idea if it's any fun b/c she only tries for about 5-10 minutes before giving up.
Bought this for my grandson for Christmas. He is 6 1/2 and has been playing his DS for 4 years (for real) I hope he enjoys this - he watches Phineas and Ferb on TV and can play any game he tries. So wlll let you know what he thinks after he plays it.

Fujitsu has revealed its new software which can check a person's pulse rate through a tablet or smartphone camera.
It says the technology, which measures the amount of haemoglobin in a person's face, could be used to monitor employees' health or detect people who are acting dishonestly or suspiciously.
The Japanese firm says the technology can give an accurate pulse reading when the camera is pointed at a face for five seconds.
In a statement the company said: "One characteristic of hemoglobin in blood is that it absorbs green light.
"Based on this fact, Fujitsu Laboratories has developed a technology that detects a person's pulse by measuring changes in the brightness of the person's face as blood flows through it.
"The technology starts to work by shooting video of a subject and calculating average values for the colour components (red/green/blue) in a certain area of the face for each frame.
"Next it removes irrelevant signal data that is present in all three color components and extracts the brightness waveform from the green component."
"Even at a busy workplace, or any time a person is sitting in front of a PC, whether for teleconferencing or writing e-mails, their pulse can be measured during brief moments of quiet."
Fujitsu will present their new software at the General Conference of the Institute of Electronics, Information, and Communication Engineers, which begins in Japan tomorrow.
It hopes to make it commercially available before April 2014.Reuse content

Just before five o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, this observer nearly did an Ashley (as in Ashley Cole, I should stress, not Mike Ashley, of whom more later). Nearly crashed the car. Turned it over like one of those Tino Asprilla backflips. But not because my employers had failed to offer me another £5,000 a week to which I believed I was entitled, as the England defender, then at Arsenal, famously believed he had been wronged by the Gunners, but because of those extraordinary words on the car radio: Kevin Keegan returns to Newcastle. The initial assumption was that it had to be a wind-up – oh, how we had chuckled a week before at the concept of Keegan in tandem with Alan Shearer – but by the time I had righted my vehicle, the truth had been confirmed. At least it was half true. Big Al still waits on BBC stage left as King Kev returns to complete, as he put it, some "unfinished business". Some business. Some finish, it could be said, about what many of the faithful considered a precipitate exit from St James' Park 11 years ago. But wasn't it ever thus where the doughty little Yorkshireman is concerned?
And you had to smile, in the nicest possible way. Because Keegan has that effect on you. Probably Peter Hain, in the midst of adversity, smiled, too. Can there have been a wackier story under which bad news had been buried by a government minister?
By now, you will have discerned in which direction this is going. So, let us preface it by stating that the reconditioned Newcastle manager is an amalgam of many virtues and a few vices. A decent man, he can be prickly at times under interrogation. Yet, he is unerringly, almost disturbingly, so honest that he flaunts his flaws as readily as a recovering alcoholic.
Hi, My name's Kevin. And I'm a failed England manager. Could anyone have delivered more candour than his valedictory words when Old Wembley closed its gates, and a 19-month international career ended in ignominy for Keegan on 7 October 2000? "Absolutely no one is to blame but myself... I told the players I don't think I can find that little bit extra that you need at this level".
That is why even those of us with no affinity with the North-east regard this character, who lives his life like a volcano on the verge of eruption, with such affection. Akin, in his own way, to a Mourinho, his mere presence enriches our sporting tableaux. No wonder, Sky News anchormen and women were almost orgasmic in their approval of the second coming of KK and the Sunshine Boys, accompanied, as it was, with vehement reaction from all sides: near-hysteria from the Toon Army; hysterical laughter from Manchester, Liverpool and all points south.
And from those of us nonpartisan? While one can indeed denounce certain elements of Keegan's managerial curriculum vitae, it would be unwise to question what he may achieve, given his record at Newcastle, Manchester City and Fulham as an "impact" manager, particularly if he does indeed benefit from what has been described as Ashley's "bottomless pit", with such diverse targets as Jermain Defoe, Shaun Wright-Phillips, Wayne Bridge, Deco, Scott Brown, Daniel van Buyten and Wes Brown mooted. Certainly in the short term, that injection of SuperKev Serum will enable him to shoulder far more tons of expectation that it should. The enthusiasm, while it lasts, of the little circus-master is second to none. The man who has been running a football theme park in Glasgow will hardly need to exhort his public to "Roll up, roll up".
Take these sentiments: "All those other guys, they've all come in and said the same as me: 'Big club, big squad, great fan base, great stadium, a football city, we should be better than this'. Now it's my turn." Actually, that was Keegan talking to me about Manchester City in early 2002. But it could equally be 2008 and Newcastle, about whom there can be no doubting his affection.
And yet. For all that, his coming again to St James' Park can be no more than the stuff of delusions. Keegan has demanded realism, but he is as aware as anyone that it is a scarce commodity in Newcastle United. Least of all from those in control. This has all the hallmarks of an act of desperation from the owner Ashley and chairman Chris Mort. Having discerned that there was no likelihood of one of the big beasts of world football prepared to seize their bait, they have adopted a populist ploy. Gone back to the future with a gesture designed to gain Ashley someback-slapping from his new replica-shirt-wearing best friends. What it is decidedly not is the adult decision to take the club forward this column stressed was necessary last week. The club has once again become a Big Top of Absurdities.
Witnessing Keegan and Terry McDermott enter Newcastle's Benton training complex on Friday was a bit like that computer-generated advert with images of Steve McQueen driving a modern car. Nostalgia is hugely effective in advertising. On the whole, football's past is best left as that. Fond memories. Eleven years have elapsed since Keegan last passed this way as Newcastle manager, with a team which included David Ginola, blessed with all his pre-Ronaldo wizardry, and Les Ferdinand, Peter Beardsley et Alan Shearer.
Keegan recalls that first term with pride, although he once told me that he accepted that "everyone paints the picture differently". He added: "The cynics would say we spent £60m and never won anything. But that doesn't tell you the story of Newcastle. They were bottom of the Second Division, the last game had been watched by 14,000 people. I went in with 16 games to go, having no knowledge of management, didn't know any of the players apart from Micky Quinn because I'd met him at the races, I took in Terry McDermott, who had also been working at racetracks. We both loved the club, and made it work. The real story there was a rebirth of a real football club. People had forgotten how big it was. That was the Newcastle story in my mind."
Essentially correct, of course. But that was then; an eternity ago in football terms. Even in the three years since he departed Manchester City the market in which he must buy has become a far more competitively ruthless place. He returns to a different era. Sportsmen, these days, and not just footballers, have different priorities and distractions and attitudes. It is not just groin strains that prevent them from playing.
Shane Warne's explanation, for instance, for his absence at the start of Hampshire's season is: playing poker. Keegan may find that Joey Barton – to whom, coincidentally, he gave his debut at Manchester City – is unavailable because of therapy/court appearances.
True, there will be certain pundits prepared to maintain: "It's a crazy idea, but it might just work". Not a chance. It's just plain crazy. Pure and simple. If it has any merit it is as a stopgap measure, designed to appease the faithful until a measure of stability is achieved and Newcastle can convince a David Moyes, Mark Hughes or a foreign equivalent, that they are genuine European contenders. But jousting with the top four, let alone duelling with that grand old adversary, Sir Alex Ferguson, who has remained defiantly, and triumphantly, in situ throughout? The Toon Army can but dream... while the remainder of us wait for them to wake up to realities.

Weak on Defense and Bill of Rights, Not During War Time
Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan is untrustworthy, weak on defense and supports the Bill of Rights only with conditions. With our military imbedded in foreign conflicts on false premises, her wartime appointment must be rejected.
This former University of Chicago law professor poses a danger to the right of free speech and the right to bear arms—the first two tenets of our Bill or Rights. Only 50 years old, Ms. Kagan could leave in her judicial wake a badly battered Constitution and a nation unable to defend itself, particularly when forced to confront an enemy within.
As dean of Harvard law school, she banned on-campus military recruiters. Yet in her Senate hearing she claimed to "revere" the military. Is this an example of what one U.S. Senator diplomatically described as Ms. Kagan's inability to be "rigorously accurate."
The U.S. was induced to wage war relying on what British nuclear arms inspector David Kelly described as "sexed-up" intelligence. Despite Kelly's death, the common source of that phony intelligence has since come sharply into focus.
Senior military commanders have confirmed a professed ally as the source. To date, domestic politics have precluded the candor required for a mid-course correction.
U.S. military leaders know how they were deceived—and by whom. What now for the fate of the deceivers? If you are someone sympathetic to that ally, what would you do?
What should be the fate of those who provided aid and comfort or adhered to this enemy? Those carefully chosen phrases were inserted in the Constitution to describe for future generations of Americans the perilous nature of treason as a capital crime.
The Chicago Outfit
If, as the facts confirm, mainstream media helped induce the American public to rely on false intelligence, how would this same misinformed public discover its source? What means could our military leaders use to inform us that they—and we—were deceived?
What news outlets can our military trust? Fox News? CNN? The New York Times? For a nation dependent on informed consent, where can we as veterans turn for the real facts?
Our prospects are poised to worsen. Joe Lieberman, chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, proposes an Internet "kill switch" activated by declaring a cyber emergency. If enacted, that law will be challenged all the way to the Supreme Court.
As those who "fixed" the intelligence become transparent and their adherents apparent, how will Americans respond? If the Internet is the most robust means to communicate, will domestic politics persuade our commander-in-chief to hit the "kill switch?"
What opinion would the Supreme Court offer on this limitation of free speech? If this deception traces to a common source, would the Court agree to a limit on the right to bear arms in order to protect those who "adhere" to this enemy within?
Enter Elena Kagan. Though many of her colleagues viewed her publishing as far too scant, she was granted tenure as a Harvard law professor. What little she published focused on hate speech and the role of the government's motive when limiting free speech.
If, as the facts confirm, our military was taken to war by an enemy within, large numbers of Americans are certain to be upset—particularly veterans. Vets also possess the skills to deploy deadly force should they become well informed.
They may even hate those who did this to a nation they took an oath to defend from all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Many vets take that oath far more seriously than those who set their course by the shifting winds of domestic politics.
If free speech were limited (say with the Internet "kill switch"), would Justice Kagan uphold that limitation? Would the government's motive affect her decision?
Would she seek to preclude an armed public from hating those who deceived us at such a high cost in blood and treasure?
What if the facts confirm that those who defrauded us to wage war also defrauded us of our retirement savings and plunged the economy into a recession? What then?
If the government's motive is to keep Americans from bearing arms against those giving aid and comfort to an enemy within, is that reason enough to hit the "kill switch."
Why do 60 Million Americans Oppose Elena Kagan?
Combine 27 million veterans and their families and the opposition to Kagan may well exceed 60 million informed Americans. Of course that assumes vets are informed of the perils of placing her on the nation's highest court. How could they know?
Will Rupert Murdoch's "fair and balanced" Fox News inform them? Will they get "news you can trust" from CNN's Wolf Blitzer who worked 17 years for The Jerusalem Post and published a sympathetic account of Israeli-American super spy Jonathan Pollard?
Do Americans know that Ms. Kagen was a member of the Research Advisory Council of Goldman Sachs Global Markets Institute? Do veterans know that she is the first Supreme Court nomine since 1972 with no judicial experience? Why was she the nominee? And, importantly, why now?
The Christian Science Monitor posed a question that mainstream media will not ask: "Why is an Israeli judge Elena Kagan's 'judicial hero?'" Israeli Supreme Court Justice Aharon Barak showed how activist judges can shape the law to create what they consider the desired outcome—in a country with no constitution.
Kagan was nominated by a political product of the Chicago Outfit. The family lineage of Penny Pritzker, Barack Obama's top fundraiser, dates back to organized crime of the 1900s. Both her grandfather and her great-grandfather were lawyers for the mob. Kagan served as a law clerk for Chicago Court of Appeals Judge Abner Mikva. Mikva also tried to recruit Obama who he describes as "the first Jewish president."
If approved, Ms. Kagan will be the nation's eighth Jewish Supreme Court Justice and the third on the current bench. In a nation that is less than two percent Jewish, our highest court will be one-third Jewish.
Those appointments began with Woodrow Wilson's selection in 1916 of Louis Brandeis, president of the Zionist Organization of America. In the 1960s, Attorney General Robert Kennedy and Senator William Fulbright sought to force that organization to register as what it was and remains: a foreign agent.
Instead, Zionists morphed their lobby into the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the hardcore center of a potent lobby that has long dominated U.S. foreign policy.
The sexed-up intelligence that induced us to war in Iraq traces to a common Zionist source. Though Ms. Kagan is clearly a charming Jewish-American lawyer, her Israel-first perspective is inappropriate for our Supreme Court. At this perilous moment in this nation's history, U.S. national security interests require that she be rejected.

These arguments are fishy. Everyone who's read a newspaper knows she was nominated because she wasn't a judge. They also know Harvard's policy on not letting organizations who discriminate come onto the campus. She followed Harvard's policy. She didn't set it up. And as for her grandfather and great-grandfather being lawyers for the mob, who cares? We have enough lawyers for the slimy politicians and corporations to worry about. I'm not about to jump back fifty years and go, "Shame on you." We all have somebody in our family who wasn't on the up and up. And we all know there was nothing we could do to change them. Free will, baby.
Clearly you may be an internet agent pretending to be on one side while attempting to form dissent on this private site which shows truth in a world of lies. We know the difference between the two, so it is not difficult to discern.
You have a lot of "Where?" questions. I hope you don't want answers, you won't get any, so why ask. Answer your own questions (google it =owned by a couple of jews).
Next, this is not a crazed mob as you seem to claim this author, and its readers to be, but simply humans having intellectually stimulating interaction. If you, as an individual, feel you need to do something about something, then do it. Please refrain from asking others what they will do, did do, or may do, because an answer will not be put forward. Typical jew behavior.
Yes, not all jews are bad, but they all know what the zionists are doing, they know Isreal did 9/11 and other evil things. So why would you question this article on jew kagan, with no judicial experience, to be put on the highest court, by a president surrounded by jews, paid for by Aipac, a Goldman Sacs hand shaker, and many more jewish coincidences, as if the accusation is solely based on her jewishness.
You must be one of the Cyber Warriors, probably a highschool student, working for your Rabbi, to stop the future massacre of jews, which is fake. Jewish paranoia is created from birth, based on a myth about hitler, who was paid by the jew Rothschild to scare the jews to Isreal, and resulted in Hitler divesting from the interest bearing banker, leading to Hitlers demise. The real question is, who started the war, the jews or hitler? The answer: The jews declared war against germany. The day will come.
We all die one day.
The jews also declared war on Russia.
The MOST important qualification for any politician is LOYALTY. Many of our most important politicians have NOT demonstrated their loyalty to the USA and the American people. Too many of those who have high elected and/or appointed political office in the American government are NOT loyal to the USA. Many have DUAL citizenships. The political establishment that favors massive illegal and unjust legal immigration, a pogrom through discriminatory laws against caucasian males, ruinous trade, industrial, and economic policies, and that has launched aggressive, criminal, and illegal wars in Iraq and Afghanistan is NOT loyal to the American people and the US Constitution. Kagan is definitively a part of this DISLOYAL political establishment. As a result, I, like Veterans Today, oppose her nomination as a US Supreme Court Justice.
Justices on the Supreme Court must put aside any and all considerations concerning religion, ethnicity, color and Personal opinions or political philosophies. They are sworn by sacred oath to only judge each case which comes before the Court solely on the basis of what the Constitution and Bill of Rights says (and those documents and their supporting documents are in plain English. To do otherwise is "judicial activism" and cannot be tolerated on the high court(or any other for that matter).
Our Constitution and Bill of Rights is already hanging by a thread because of people who have abused their power and we must not allow Ms Kagan to be confirmed to the court.
It takes extra-ordinary people to have great power and not abuse it and Ms Kagan clearly is not an extra-ordinary person.
"They are sworn by sacred oath…".
GOOGLE: KOL NIDRE…read about sacred oaths.
Hang with the radicals- and you get the radicals.
Very interesting information on the new nominee. Thanks for this article!
'9/11 & Free Energy': http://www.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=393090521816
Is this really an editorial of Veterans Today? Or is it, as it appears to be, the ravings of a paranoid op-ed contributor (more excusable than an official position of a periodical)?
If the former, I have got to get off this site, and have my name brushed out of the (few) articles I've published here. No fact-checking, and declarations of editorial policy replaced with tabloid-like "questioning"? Come on! If you have the goods on Kagan, present them, and back them up with verifiable fact! Don't rely on your "questioning" what might happen without any answers or solid basis.
Please, tell me that this is just a random opinion piece, and not representing the actual editorial policy of this web publication.
Sean T Lewis
Op-ed contributor
Veterans Today
Sean, I am not in favor of Kagan, but I had the same reaction you did. I want more than accusations. I want the facts. Thanks for bringing this up.
The focus on Kagan's lack of qualifications distracts from the fact that she was a Goldman Sachs adviser. After her appointment as Solicitor General, Kagan took a six-figure salary cut yet her net worth somehow grew 74 percent during her year as Solicitor General. This has been explained variously as refinancing a $1.4 million home to "lucking out on the rebound of the stock market." This year, Kagan listed assets of $1,762,519 and no liabilities, with $740,000 of that figure in cash.
The crucial qualification for Supreme Court Justice is objectivity.
The Judicial branch is supposed to rule on cases based upon the existing laws. In order to do that, the ability or skill which distinguishes a judge from prosecutor or litigator is ability to rise above all personal political bias and follow the letter of the law – even if the judge doesn't like the law.
Kagan is on the record as supporting gay activism. As a Supreme Court justice, will she be unbiased when cases involving gays being 'out' in the military arise? Does she even believe that a judge should be unbiased?
Kagan's graduate thesis at Oxford made the rounds last week. Ordinarily reviewing something a Supreme Court nominee wrote in college would be absurd – but her lack of track record leaves little choice.
An article in National Review Magazine last week published key passages of Kagan's thesis pointing out that she believes the judiciary itself exists to "achieve certain social ends" and it's valid for judges to "mold and steer the law to promote certain ethical values".
She wrote: "As men and as participants in American life, judges will have opinions, prejudices, values. Perhaps most important, judges will have goals. And because this is so, judges will often try to mold and steer the law in order to promote certain ethical values and achieve certain social ends. Such activity is not necessarily wrong or invalid. The law, after all, is a human instrument–an instrument designed to meet men's needs…. Concern for ethical values thus has an important role to play in the judicial process. For in the last analysis, the law is a very human enterprise with very human goals."
That's crystal clear. "Judges with goals" means political agendas. That means the judge doesn't apply the laws on the books, but seeks to make the case serve to change laws of the land. That's the essence of judiciary activism.
It is interesting. The woman has no experience as a judge whatsoever, which would have been absurd once upon a time when judges were sworn to be impeccably impartial and required decades of experience.
Her Supreme Court appointment is designed to make it an unelected policy making body.
Her references to achieving "certain social ends" is code for Communist revolution. The Rothschilds, who ultimately fund Kagan (and Obama), always mask their dictatorship in sweet smelling platitudes.
Elena Kagan's lack of a track record is being spun as a 'plus' by the Illuminati-controlled media. The buzz word with talking whores right now is 'outsider'.
No. The Supreme Court is hardly the place for on-the-job-training. It's a lifetime unelected position and Kagan stands to be ruling on the US laws till the 2040's. Supreme Court appointments aren't a place for 'Affirmative Action' either.
Let's be honest – everybody can tell Kagan's appointment is a done deal. Her appointment is deliberate – it lowers the bar for qualifications for the highest bench in the land. Track record and proven experience are out the window. Appointments based on gender and sexual preference are 'in'. Is Congress going to approve anybody but Jewish lesbians?
The Illuminati are doing a wonderful job of destroying America.
Sotomayor Not First Hispanic Judge- You Guessed it -she's Jewish Too! "
-by Richard Evans
(for henry makow dot com)
'As dean of Harvard law school, she banned on-campus military recruiters. Yet…'
The Law School's anti-discrimination policy, adopted in 1979, provides that any employer that uses the services of OCS to recruit at the school must sign a statement indicating that that it does not discriminate on various bases, including sexual orientation. As a result of this policy, the military was barred for many years from using the services of OCS. The military retained full access to our students (and vice versa) through the good offices of the Harvard Law School Veterans Association, which essentially took the place of OCS in enabling interviews to occur.
"If approved, Ms. Kagan will be the nation's eighth Jewish Supreme Court Justice and the third on the current bench. In a nation that is less than two percent Jewish, our highest court will be one-third Jewish."
Most of your arguments are really good, Jeff. This one ranks with the most upsetting. I'm Jesuit Catholic raised and trained, yet, 2/3 of our Supreme Court will be Catholic and 1/3 Jewish. Who is representing the majority called Protestant Christians in this country? The argument that the "law" is above religion doesn't hold water when we realize we are ALL motivated by how we were trained as children.
Where are the Protestants and their point of view on the Supreme Court?
Where, where, where are over 50% of America's views represented? This is not right, Chicago politics notwithstanding.
I agree with much of your analysis, but when I heard Sens. Lindsey Graham and Jeff Sessions go Old South on her, I immediately supported her.
These two little pricks played to every rightwing, bigoted pieces of shit whom I must thank for bringing me to American politics.
Let's face it, without the specific support of bigots the GOP would be history.
Rightwing Zionism, as you have pointed out, is much more complicated, but I cannot abide these Southern shits.
Sessions and Graham may be — as you so eloquently say — two little pricks, BUT they mean nothing in the big picture of the total abandomment of the largest majority of Americans. You are cutting off your nose to spite your face when you have to face the consequences of letting emotion run roughshod over the pure and simple logic of being sorely unrepresented in the most powerful Court in the land.
Mke, we need to get you down here to live in the real, cosmopolitan South for a bit. You'd be amazed how a winter without snow and a cosmpolitan atmosphere would change your attitude.
1/3 Jewish reads 1/3 Zionist.50% in 10 years ? If you split the Catholic majority on any issue, the zionist prevail. They work as a block. We all know what we are dealing with, I haven't said anything new that everyone does't alredy know. "By Way of Deception"

Summaries of new research on why the world's poor are happier than you think, how men become more helpful as they age, and the benefits of bringing work home.
* This Greater Good section, Research Digests, offers short summaries of recent studies on happiness, empathy, compassion, and more. Quick to read, easy to digest—we review the research so you don't have to! Subscribe to the Research Digests RSS feed to receive future digests.
Men Become More Helpful as They Age
"Help to Family and Friends: Are There Gender Differences at Older Ages?"
Kahn, J.R., McGill, B.S., Bianchi, S.M. Journal of Marriage and Family, Vol. 73 (1), February 2011, 77-92.
Studies have repeatedly shown that women provide more assistance to family and friends than do men. Yet this study found that the gender gap narrows later in life. Looking at more than 5,000 men and women in their 50s and 60s, the researchers found that women were more likely to provide help to others—including to parents, adult children, and non-relatives—but men closed the gap as they aged, particularly in caring for adult children or friends, though not necessarily for elderly parents. The researchers link this trend to men retiring from the workforce. Where does the gender gap remain? Women were still found to provide significantly more emotional support—as opposed to "material support," like help around the yard and house—than men. —Na'amah Razon
Why the World's Poor are Happier than You Think
"Subjective Well-Being and National Satisfaction: Findings from a Worldwide Survey."
Morrison, M., Tay, L., Diener, E. Psychological Science, Vol. 22 (2), February 2011, 166-171.
Why do people in poorer countries report greater happiness than people in many of the world's wealthier nations? This study provides an intriguing answer. Drawing on data from a survey administered around the world, researchers found that people's satisfaction with their country can overflow into their personal life satisfaction and positively affect their overall happiness. The link between national and personal satisfaction was strongest in the poorest countries, among people with the lowest incomes and the fewest household conveniences. For these people, it is easier to idealize their country than their less than ideal daily standard of living, and this idealized view of their country then influences their assessment of their own life satisfaction. The authors suggest that given these findings, programs to improve citizens' quality of life should include efforts to boost their satisfaction with their country. —Neha John-Henderson
The Benefits of Bringing Work Home
"Work-family Interpersonal Capitalization: Sharing Positive Work Events at Home."
Ilies, R., Keeney, J., Scott, B.A. Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, Vol. 114 (2), March 2011, 115-126.
We are always told to leave work at the office. Yet this study offers an important caveat. Researchers examined how satisfied people were with their jobs, recording the number and intensity of positive events at work and their impact on employees' job satisfaction and overall happiness. The results show that the number of positive work events and the intensity of these events improve job satisfaction. But interestingly, the most significant factor in improving job satisfaction was sharing news of a positive work event with one's partner at home. —Na'amah Razon
I find this very interesting and so true! From my own expirience I can say, that a vast majority of elder men are very helpful and caring. As you become older, your perception of happiness changes and things that didn't bother you when you were younger suddenly matter a lot.

|[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-3892) Add a useful intblock postings format (eg, FOR, PFOR, PFORDelta, Simple9/16/64, etc.)
|Thu, 26 Apr 2012 16:06:16 GMT

Once Mike and I hoped to make things work by configuring "lucene/common-build.xml" & "dev-tools/scripts/poll-mirrors.pl" to another maven mirror, listed in http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Mirrors+Repositories. Unfortunately, the main site "repo1.maven.org" was configured into ivy-2.2.0.jar, and even we pass "ant ivy-bootstrap", "ant resolve" still fails. Well, here is how I get things work(too ugly, hope a better suggestion!): change /etc/hosts, and redirect current maven site to a mirror with same directory structure, for example: 184.108.40.206 repo1.maven.org # to http://mirror.netcologne.de/ > Add a useful intblock postings format (eg, FOR, PFOR, PFORDelta, Simple9/16/64, etc.) > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-3892 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3892 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Michael McCandless > Labels: gsoc2012, lucene-gsoc-12 > Fix For: 4.0 > > > On the flex branch we explored a number of possible intblock > encodings, but for whatever reason never brought them to completion. > There are still a number of issues opened with patches in different > states. > Initial results (based on prototype) were excellent (see > http://blog.mikemccandless.com/2010/08/lucene-performance-with-pfordelta-codec.html > ). > I think this would make a good GSoC project. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

It was so dark on the dance floor that night that I almost didn't see the wicked glint in his eyes- the malice lying in wait behind the façade of chivalry and inexplicable ignorance. But I did, and that is the sad truth. I recognized the evil in him from the very beginning.
I saw the part of him that wanted to hurt me.
I think that's the part of him that I was initially drawn to. My demons were pulled in to his like a magnet of sin. Such is the polarity of lies. I was never honest with him either. If I had been, then maybe he would have acted differently. Maybe, if I'd told him how he really made me feel he wouldn't have turned me in without a moment's hesitation. But instead, I became a pawn to not only his game, but to my own, and fell victim to an untamable web of deceit. I had become the fly trapped behind the plastic light cover, whose very life had ended in that instant.
I just didn't know it then.

Suzanne Opton's Soldiers
A decade ago, at the start of the war in Iraq, photographer Suzanne Opton began making portraits of soldiers. Instead of a man in uniform, Opton's portraits capture the soldier's head in a tight close-up, lying sideways on a plain dark surface. They feature soldiers in between tours in Iraq and Afghanistan — the titles of the images list the length of their tours. Opton installed her portraits as billboards along a highway, beginning near Syracuse, New York, not far from Fort Drum, where she photographed her first subjects. The series of billboards, titled simply Soldier, have since traveled to nine cities around the country. (They are collected in the book Soldier, Many Wars.)
"My first reaction [to seeing the image] was that it almost looks like I'm not alive anymore," recalls Craig Birkholz, one of the subjects. "My mom actually screamed when she opened the photo."
"What I was looking to do," Opton explains, "was look at the face of a young person who had seen something unforgettable. Some of them look serene, some of them look shell-shocked, some of them look far away. Some of them look troubled. They're terribly vulnerable. You want to hold them."
Produced by Sarah Lilley
(Originally aired: February 23, 2007)
UPDATE: After coming home from tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, Craig Birkholz studied criminology and became a police officer in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. In March 2011, he was killed answering a domestic abuse call. The shooter, who was also a veteran, committed suicide during a confrontation with police.

Rule of thirds, 1/3 - easy questions to answer, 2/3 - probing questions - cause them some pain - make them "wiggle" a little bit, What kind of marketing support are you getting from your current company?, Who's currently helping you with your business plan?, How many leads are you getting from your company each month?, 3/3 - thought provoking questions, If you were to make a move today, what would you need to hear from me?, What questions do you need answered before you make a decision?
If emotional, Typically 80% of agents, 70% expressive, 10% amiable, means "nice", easy to approach, Warm, polite, After asking marketing question ask: How does this make you feel?
If logical, Typically 20% of agents, What is not having this collateral costing you? What is it costing you in time? What is it costing you in transactions?
You wouldn't show a buyer every house in the MLS
Don't give a presentation until you get the details you need to present to them
easy to put off
For example: if agent worth $12,000 per year
NAR says agent will be with you for avg 5 to 6 years
Total value = $72,000
That's like a million dollar listing appointment!
Everyday at 9:30 for example
(he had been working on the agents for 12 months to do this)
It is NOT to get an appointment
It IS ABOUT building a relationship and learning if the agent is in the right place right now
Judy & Kathy have a book of scripts you can use.
Between 100 to 300 is typical size
E.G. $2 Million / year in volume
Is a buyer qualified to buy?
Is this a person I want to work with?
To help the agent find out if your company is the best choice for the agent. Not to recruit the agent. To help them make the best decision for them.
Ironically enough - when you say your not the right fit for your company... Agents will want you more.
Review their competition's #'s
Do they charge for those leads?
How many leads did your company generate and how many leads did they give you?
Unique, Compelling
can't just hide behind it and wait for recruits to come in
Signatures at end of email promote agents joining the office with link to recruiting website
If they reach out and shake your hand, pull out the closing papers!
If they ask, "how am I going to get my listings over?", That's an assumptive close
It's all about them
It's a consulting session
