"Diplomacy will not work in that part of the world. Those tribes have been at each other's throats for thousands of years. The US presense amounts to another target. If we leave, the Kurds, Sunnis and Shiites will still be battling amongst themselves. Throw in extremists like the Taliban and you have a no win proposition.
These folks only know of negotiating with weapons. What makes you or any progressives think that you can change 5000 years of deep seated hatred between tribes with mere words? What valuable words of wisdom that us infidel westerners can give them for peace?
They won't listen to us and they dont want us there. They are hell bent on keeping their own cultures thriving and saying the heck with whoever stands in their way. That is our lesson. Let them do whatever they want to each other. It's none of our business"
I completely agree with XIV, and while
ENVIROSCI GUY also has valid points, in so far as cultural rights and so on. I do agree that we as a society should not try to "Democratize" or "Liberate" any society that does not want us there. Iraq was not a threat to the US, at any time, in fact the US had helped Sadam for ten years prior to the invasion of his country "Trying to develop better relations" with his government.
We havent learned anything, really. We didnt learn from Vietnam, or any other campaign after that. And while we should not become Isolationists, we should start taking better care of our own national needs, commerce, medical, social programs, employment, science and so on. We were once the Greatest Nation on earth, we need to regain that place in World Standing again, but we can not do it by obliterating those that do not want change in their lives or countries.....Let Americans come first for America!!
Helped Saddam? We put him in power and gave him the weapons that he notoriously used to kill the Kurds and others.
Why would we do that? Out of the kindness of our heart? Uh, no, we knew he was a scumbag when Rumsfeld was shaking his hand and pledging friendship.
It's the oil, silly. It's always been the oil.

U.S. Health Care Spending High, But Quality Lags: Report
However, breast cancer survival rates were best among 13 industrialized nations
Topics: Amputation Cancer: Breast Cancer: Cervical Cancer: Colon Cancer: Misc Cancer: Rectal Health Care Access / Disparities Health Costs Heart / Stroke-Related: Misc Hospitals Prescription Drugs Survival
THURSDAY, May 3 (HealthDay News) -- Despite the fact that Americans spend more on their health care than citizens of 12 other developed nations, a new report finds that more does not necessarily equal better when it comes to quality of care.
The Commonwealth Fund report, led by senior research associate David Squires, revealed that the United States is shelling out roughly $8,000 per capita for health care, according to 2009 figures. By contrast, the Japanese and New Zealanders spend just one-third of that amount on health care, while Norwegians and the Swiss cough up about two-thirds.
Yet Americans now fare the worst in terms of preventable asthma fatalities among patients aged 5 to 39. The country also ranks poorly -- alongside Germany -- in diabetes-related amputations. As for in-hospital heart attack and stroke death rates, the United States stacks up as average at best.
"It is a common assumption that Americans get more health care services than people in other countries, but in fact we do not go to the doctor or the hospital as often," Squires said in a Commonwealth Fund news release. "The higher prices we pay for health care and perhaps our greater use of expensive technology are the more likely explanations for high health spending in the U.S. Unfortunately, we do not seem to get better quality for this higher spending."
Released on Thursday, the report analyzed health spending in Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, France, Canada, Germany, Norway, Japan, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, as well as the United States -- the only nation among those studied that does not provide universal health care.
The authors found that in 2009, the United States ranked No. 1 (followed by the Netherlands) in the proportion of its gross domestic product devoted to health care: a full 17 percent. By comparison, the other countries in the report spent 12 percent or less, with Japan ranking as the lowest spender at about 9 percent.
Despite their country's spending, Americans can expect poorer access to physicians than people in other industrialized nations, with just 2.4 doctors for every 100,000 citizens. On that score, only Japan fared worse, according to the report.
Other troubling indicators included the fact that Americans also have the second-worst rate of physician consultations (behind Sweden), relatively few hospital beds, fairly short hospital stays in acute-care situations and a low rate of hospital discharges.
It wasn't all bad news, however. The United States is No. 1 in survival rates among breast cancer patients. It also shares the top spot (with Norway) for survival rates among colorectal cancer patients.
But when it comes to both hospital and prescription drug costs, Americans are at the highest peak by far.
By the time a U.S. patient is discharged from a hospital, he or she will have cost the health care system about $18,000 on average. Care for a similar Canadian patient comes to just $13,000, while in many other countries (Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, France and Germany) it dips below $10,000.
When comparing the cost of the 30 most common prescription medications, the report found that Americans are paying one-third more than Canadians and Germans, and twice as much as their Australian, French, Dutch, British and New Zealand counterparts.
Americans can take some solace in the report's observation that every nation in the study is battling a trend of ever-increasing health care costs. Karen Davis, president of the Commonwealth Fund, noted that recent legislative changes have the potential to help improve the financials of health care across the country.
"The Affordable Care Act gives us the opportunity to build a health care system that delivers affordable, high-quality care to all Americans," Davis said in the news release. "To achieve that goal, the United States must use all of the tools provided by the law, including new methods of organizing, delivering and paying for health care, that will help to slow the growth of health care costs while improving quality."

Hi everybody,
Here is an attachment file of a simple structure. The spans are 8*8 on an average. I gave the beam dimensions 40*80. When I check for required reinforcement, it comes all ok. But when I go to provided reinforcement for beams (for example beam no. 35 to 38), in the beam diagram it shows that the moment capacity is less than the distributed moment (usually in the supports, negative moments).
How to solve this problem? I tried to increase the sections manually. But it needs very large sections. It increases the capacity, but at the same time it also increases moment distributuons. So it needs a huge sections, which seems not right. And am I supposed to do this manually by trial and error method? Isn't there any easy solution?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Try to use the options indicated on the attached picture. Imn addition check if you have teh right concreet grade assigned to the beam. You may also want to consider calcuklating this beam as the T shape one.
Hi thanks, it works!
I found something more, what I am not sure about. There is an option called Typical Reinfocement. What is the use of it?
I tried to increase bar diameter for shear rein from here. As a result it increases the capacity, but instead of replacing the old transverse bars (suppose from 84 Ø 10 to 84 Ø 13) it adds more transverse bars with new diameter. (For example before it was 84 Ø 10, after change diameter from 10 to 12, now it is 80 Ø 10 + 80 Ø13). So the spacing also decreases.
This is intended for creating manual bar distribution in the beam. It generates rebars based on the parameters you entered. Then you can run verification of such created reinforcement vs. loads you applied. Usually you use his option not having any rebars in the beam

State's Gordon's at Senate Hearing on U.S. Priorities in Europe
U.S. Department of State
Testimony by Philip H. Gordon
Assistant Secretary, Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs
Statement before the Subcommittee on European Affairs of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee
Washington, DC
May 18, 2011
As prepared
Administration Priorities for Europe in the 112th Congress
Excerpts on Belarus
Take, for instance, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. These are the countries of the EU's Eastern Partnership, an initiative that the United States strongly supports and works with to advance democracy, stability, and security in this part of the world. We share with our European counterparts a similar approach to these countries because of our common goals. As the situation has deteriorated in Belarus, including with the conviction of former Presidential candidate Sannikov, we have coordinated very closely with the EU including on possible additional sanctions.
Another example of the decisive impact that U.S.-European cooperation can have in the region is our joint response to events in Belarus. The Government of Belarus's crackdown on civil society and the opposition following the flawed election in December has been sharply condemned on both sides of the Atlantic. We have made very clear that our relationship with Belarus cannot improve in the context of continued repression of civil society, the opposition, and independent media. The U.S. and the EU have called for the immediate and unconditional release of all detainees and an end to the continue human rights violations against critics of the government. We consider the five presidential candidates and other democratic activists who are being tried after being arrested in conjunction with the December 19 presidential election to be political prisoners; the latest convictions and ongoing trials are clearly politically motivated. Both we and Europe have targeted measures against those officials responsible for the crackdown even as we and Europe support the aspirations of the people of Belarus for a modern open society. To that end, the United States is providing an additional $4 million in democracy-related assistance to help Belarusians create space for the free expression of political views, the development of a civil society, freedom of the media, and empowerment of independent entrepreneurs. Both we and Europe want a better, more productive relationship with Belarus; unfortunately, the country's leadership is following a policy that will only further isolate Belarus and its people.

Cost of living for Expats in Nairobi/Kenya
In the meantime, here's a 'Cost of Living' piece I wrote for the Kenya section of a website Expat Arrivals - (see sidebar for link). Sorry it's a bit formal, just thought it might be interesting for anyone scouting about for information prior to moving here to Kenya. -I got a bit carried away, as usual! Apologies in advance to any other blog readers for whom this post is not relevant - Normally I'm picking your brains for information!
Cost of Living for Expats in Kenya
There is a common misconception that living in poverty stricken Africa must be dirt cheap. Though there are many living in substandard conditions on very low incomes, this image has largely been fuelled by the international media. On arrival you will be surprised to find that there is a burgeoning middle class here. Many capital cities in Africa have glittering shopping malls with cinemas and restaurants dotted in amongst the street hustle and honestly, this is where many expats mingling with wealthier Africans, will find themselves.
Xpatulator ranks the cost of living in Kenya as comparatively low amongst other international countries with Nairobi sitting at 260 out of the 300 locations calculated; However, I think that, since most expats live in the capital, this figure is misleading. If you were to eek out a simple existence in the countryside where there is little to buy then life in Kenya would be cheap but this is rarely the case.
Nairobi is the capital and largest city of Kenya. It is also considered regional capital of East Africa which means that several international companies and organisations are based here. Due to the comparatively good healthcare, schools and shopping in Nairobi, you even find expats consultants basing their families here while they travel to work on projects in comparatively riskier countries in the region, such as Somalia and Sudan.
If you are employed in the tourism industry or farming (tea/coffee/vegetables/flowers) then you might be based outside the capital however these expats are more the exceptions rather than the rule.
Local Economy
There is some local manufacturing (clothing, building materials, processed food, beverages and cigarettes) but the economy is fairly heavily reliant on tourism and rain-fed agriculture. A combination of frequent periods of drought, followed invariably by equally devastating flood and foreign office travel advisories due to a fairly precarious political situation, mean that the economy is vulnerable to cycles of boom and bust.
The Telecommunications industry is also very strong in Kenya, having undergone a rapid period of expansion. Kenya is a world leader in new telecom technologies such as telephone banking. The majority of Kenyans own a mobile phone.
Another undeniably large sector of the local economy is occupied by the Aid industry and this is growing. Many Donor headquarters have been moved from Northern Africa or South Africa to Kenya because it is more strategically placed for the distribution of aid to the continent. To give you an example, there are 9,000 employees at the UN headquarters in Gigiri, Nairobi.
As well as the UN, many of foreign embassies have large aid missions whose sole purpose is the distribution of foreign aid funding, ie. DFID (UK), USAID, DANIDA. Historically many of these consultants were based out in the field but now consultants tend to be based in the capital making trips out into the field from time to time.
Cost of Living
Accommodation would typically cost a third of an expat salary. Food is relatively cheaper to buy than more developed countries, as long as you are ready to buy local where possible and don't get too carried away buying imported goods. The cost of eating-out also compares favourably against other capital cities. Clothes and shoes are expensive to buy unless you are willing to shop at the city's numerous second hand markets.
It's worth noting that when analysing your salary, you should bear in mind that there are some expenses that would not be incurred in the Western world.
Most households/apartments (including many Kenyan ones) employ night security/guards. If you are living in a town house complex/apartments/gated community, security costs are often rolled into your rent. If you are living in a house within a separate compound, then you must pay for your own security. With back-up support, panic buttons plus the cost of one or two guards, security can cost up to 500 UK pounds per month, this might equate to say a maximum of 10% of your salary.
(I find that employing night watchmen is hard. If you are interested in this topic then put in a search on this blog and you'll find endless posts on 'our ex-night watchman/askari')
Public Transport (or lack of)
Most expats would not commonly use the public transport system which comprises exclusively of buses and mini-buses (matatus) in varying states of un-roadworthy-ness. There is no city tube and the country's rail system is in tatters.
The answer? Everyone owns a car (many are four wheel drive) and as a result the city is almost in gridlock. Cars are horribly expensive to buy since they are all imported. Unless you are tax exempt (ie an embassy or aid worker) then an import duty of 25% is levied on the value of every car brought in, on top of that there is another 16% VAT charged. Cars of more than seven years old are not allowed to be imported into the country.
(see previous post on Matatu Culture by using Blogger Search function at top of this page)
A handful of Nairobi hospitals (Aga Khan, Nairobi Hospital, Gertrude's Garden) offer almost world class private healthcare which is comparatively cheap. The Government subsidised Kenyatta Hospital has a less impressive record. Without the long waiting lists of the UK NHS service or the crippling cost of USA medical care, then Nairobi offers something of the best of both worlds. You actually get medical tourists arriving here. However, as a precaution, many expats take out fairly costly comprehensive medical insurance that allows them to be repatriated to their home country in the event of accident or terminal disease.
(see previous post entitled 'Plastic Surgery in Kenya' - if it's at all reassuring, I have also had my appendix out and a baby here in Nairobi!)
School Fees
International and upper end private schools in Kenya where pupils are mixed, (ie. Expat/White, Kenyan and Asian) charge fees that are only slightly less than those of UK private schools and can add up to over 25% of your salary if you have two or more children. It's worth calculating how much you will need to spend on school fees before being posted to Kenya. Occasionally expat packages will cover school fees but this kind of deal is getting increasingly rare.

i am student in usa but can tell u one helpful thing, when in africa try livng the life of an african. what i mean is if you align urselves living the life of a pure expat brethren u'll hate it. best advice is get a local friend who'll show you around many stuff esp shopping home stuff; for example buying furniture in a mall whereas you can buy by th roadside cos the mall guys buy from there and jack up the price ten fold. also grocery shopping go to farmers' mrkts. stuff like that otherwise i cant compare states with kenya. an avocado so small i used to buy one kenya shilling costs me 2dollars. gosh darn!

Thanks for an interesting and helpful post. Are you able to give us an indication of the cost of hiring domestic staff in Nairobi please? We will need to take on a cook, a gardner, two drivers, a watchman (as you recommend) and one or two staff who can do the laundry and general household cleaning.
Are staff in Kenya good at making hot puddings and proper food? It would also be a bonus if they can fix a good pink gin, or can be easily trained to do so.
Thank you. - 1:53 pm
In a word - expensive! Nairobi is very expensive to live in and the cost of renting a house is getting higher daily because greedy landlords know how much the UN et al have for their housing allowance. Get rid of the UN and all the other hangers-on and we would then have a reasonably affordable place to live.

we kenyans want the UN in nrbi. if you decide to live in our city, put up, adapt, or get around the challenges. complaining abt unep wont do nadah. as more institutions chose nrbi as launch pad for africa its gonna be tough for you it seems. tough luck. its nairobbery at its most legit. n its ours. - 9:51 pm

How come so many of your posts carry the assumption that expats are all white and all whites are expats? And that Asians and Whites aren't Kenyan?
" (ie. Expat/White, Kenyan and Asian) "
As a non-black third generation Kenyan (yes we gave up our British passports) I find this highly offensive. Would you then say that non whites in, say, Britain are expats or not British?
I know you're sensitive to racial issues and properly socialising your kids, but the way you have grouped people is contradictory to this attitude. - 9:35 pm
IKEA may be coming to kenya, the days of road side 'Jua Kali' atrisans may be numbered.

Mr Baboonbuts,In Europe non-whites are called 'immigrants',including diplomats,and the assumption is that they are always illegal.On the other hand,the assumption is that Kenyans are always black,which is highly misleading.what happens if a Ugandan is walking on the street,do the expats consider him Kenyan ,just because of colour?

Burst out laughing at the pink gin and hot puddings reference!! Oh dear.
- 2:26 pm
- baboonbutt said...
That may be true Dmitriy (at least amongst Daily Mail readers) but the fact that other people do anything is no justification.
There are large expat white, asian and black populations in Nairobi as well as a large Kenyan white, black and asian population. Seeing as so many foreigners read this blog I think it'd nice to at least try to portray an accurate social picture rather than alienate minority Kenyans. - 9:10 pm
Interesting...saw this add on the Net. Should I try it out ? Of course I'll proceed with all the caution of a mouse but hey, you never know what lies at the end of the rainbow, right ? ;-)

Charlie I'm reading your blog. Try carpet tape to hold your boards. Also, how about posting a photo of your V-bit and maybe a video of the machine in action
The machine cuts stencil masks too.
But! i'm using an LTC LED part that i made the wrong footprint for a while ago, replaced it and checked it on paper, somehow i'd managed to let the old one slip in !
Sparkfun recently had added it to their library as well.
I'l spend some time laying it out better, then redo it and bust out the metcal.
Charlie I'm reading your blog. Try carpet tape to hold your boards. Also, how about posting a photo of your V-bit and maybe a video of the machine in action
Disregard, I see the vids on your blog now
I'll give carpet tape a try, I've been using wide sellotape without problems, after intially using masking tape.
I've posted up pictures of the bits. http://charliex2.wordpress.com/2009/...l-router-bits/ since they're quite large images i put them on wordpress.

After a break, I came back and had a go at another board with the full isolation removal, drilled and cut out. I didn't quite get the depth on the holes right, but they're almost all the way through.
its got some funky routing i know , probably broke most of the rules!
once again very nice, just how fine are the traces? they look to be .016 or about there maybe smaller. Is that 2oz copper?
cheers!, i've had enough practice this last week i set the drc to be 8mil minimum, 1oz copper board. its mg chemicals FR4 #503 1/16th
used a V45 set to 3mil depth
played around with the mitre on some of the traces, just to see how it'd come out. set a bad depth on one of the rubout's or i was using the wrong tool, i'm still building up my 'library' of tools. luckily the bad area doesn't affect the board.
i also tried to leave a tab in the cutout so the board doesn't come off, but i'm not yet used to just how small a 0.05 grid is!

I'm using a scotchbright ( well ace hardware) red pad to clean the PCB afterwards.
I'm back again with today's PCB, this time a corrected IC , mouser lists as SOIC-16 but clicking through its a SOIC-16DW, so made a part in eagle, and relaid it out.
I drilled this one pretty deep in the isolation rub out, and for some reason my mill line ended up cutting around the line instead of through it, but i was lucky in that it barely missed the trace.. the mill cut out was 50mil and my tabs were two grid spacings at 0.05, which was just a little bit too big, worked ok with a pair of side cutters though.
For my first few pcb's i'd found that the dimension layer was being traced out, so i switch that off and added a 0" wideth line in the mechanical/mill layer, that'd worked last time, but obviously i did something wrong.
same board type mg chemicals 2oz, 3x6" single sided with a V90 cutter 8mil. Haven't polished this one as well.
I did setup my 'tool table' in the software, which worked a lot better with the rubout since it calculates the area using the tools you have versus the tools you think are close enough !
Hopefully this board will actually be populated, for some reason i used 0805 resistors and 0603 capacitors..

I knew that I would make this journal and be excited about it for like one day, then forget about it. Well I feel like writing today, so I will. Smackdown was a lot of fun, even though I only got some of my pictures to turn out well. I was glad I went with my special girl and I was glad that she got free pretzels, lol. I am also looking forward to the concert with her and I know that she will dress me well for it so that I look like I am supposed to be there and we will have a lot of fun. Hopefully my back will feel better so that I don't look like I'm not having a good time standing there like Fred Sanford with my hand on my back half hunched over. Blah I guess I need to stretch more huh? Well I just ate the rest of last night's baked ziti so I guess I ought to go do the dishes now. Check this out when you have a chance: Which Evil Criminal are You? |
Tuesday, January 21st, 2003 |
Now they are sending me letters. I am not even sweating them. No one can do anything to me. The only reason why I am even mentioning it is because out of all the things that I have to think about now, this is just another headache to deal with. And I also literally have a headache right now. No sleep and no Holly make Sal something something...go crazy? Don't mind if I do! | ||||||||
Thursday, January 16th, 2003 |
I feel so much better now that I got to see my one and only. Being with her makes me realize that all the bullshit means nothing, and when it all goes away, she will still be there. I have no idea what I would do without her. So until the next time I see her, I will probably be out on a quad tearing up the roads in this beautiful snow. Heh, heh, heh. | ||||||||
I'm sick of everyone being smarmy and shady. I knew what kind of shit I was going to have to put up with. I can take people talking shit to my face just fine. What I can't take is people talking shit behind my back. Obviously it is bound to happen, but for people who say they are my friends to do it is unacceptable. Then lying about it after is even worse. If you do not have the balls to admit to it when asked, you should never say it in the first place. I can understand why people that I am not close to would say things about me, but when the people that I am close to turn on me so quickly because of something that has nothing to do with them, it makes me never want to see or hear from them again. | ||||||||
Wednesday, January 15th, 2003 |
I really wish people would just let us be. Why does my happiness seem to bother so many people? I go out of my way to be nice to people and this is the thanks I get. I guess I should know better by now. I kind of let this stuff get under my skin and it made me say some stupid things today, and for that, I am sorry. I hope I am forgiven for it. To everyone else, people's personal lives are called personal lives for a reason...because they are personal. Get that through your heads. | ||||||||
These things are so popular. After reading other people's for so long, I figured I ought to start one myself. Could be theraputic. Anyway, I hope I actually update this on a semi-regular basis. Comments are welcomed, flames are not. Have a nice day. | ||||||||

Surat to get an elevated road
A 2.5-km-long elevated road at a height of 14.50 feet will come up in two years' time in Surat. Standing tall on about 210 pillars of maximum of two metre in width, this proposed road will be constructed on the existing Rajmarg from Surat railway station to Chowk Bazaar via Bhagal. It will ease traffic on this main road. In addition to this, a ramp is planned to extend the road from Chowk Bazaar to Mahatma Gandhi statue to make travelling convenient for people while going to Nanpura and Athwalines. Shashikant Daliya, chairman, Public Works Committee (PWC) of SMC, said, "We are happy because no demolition is required for the construction of the road. Only at Jamal Gali where we have planned to extend the construction by a ramp up to Gandhi statue, if something comes in the way, it will have to be removed." The proposed road construction estimates were passed by PWC and the tendering process will begin after general board of SMC passes it in two weeks' time. The road to be built at an estimated cost of Rs 60.92 crore has a grant approval of Rs 50 crore from Swarnim Gujarat fund and SMC will have to complete the work before the end of 2013 to avail these funds. Mahesh Jaymalani, assistant engineer of SMC, said, "The road will have 8.5 metre or 25 feet width. For the travellers going from Chowk to station, there will be a portion of 4.25 metre or 12.5 feet whereas the same will be available for travellers coming from station to Chowk." At present, the city has a Rajmarg of 60 feet width from Chowk to Moti Talkies and of 80 feet width from Moti Talkies to Railway station.

The Complete Streets policy adopted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) in 2010 is recognized as one of the nation's leading examples of a safe, smart transportation policy according to a new nationwide analysis conducted by the National Complete Streets Coalition.
The annual report, which rates every Complete Streets policy across the country on a numerical basis according to best practices criteria, highlights Louisiana's policy as being especially strong in the areas of accommodating all users and modes and implementation.
"All across the country we're seeing more and more communities embrace a new understanding of their streets and roadways," says National Complete Streets Coalition Director Roger Millar. "More than 350 communities, including 26 states, now have Complete Streets policies on their books, with 146 of those policies being adopted in 2011 alone. So, for Louisiana's policy to be highlighted as a leading example, not only shows the proliferation of best practices in recent years, but also a strong commitment from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development to protecting the safety of all its transportation users."
"There's a growing understanding across the country that streets are something more than just a way to get from Point A to Point B in a car," Millar adds. "It's a recognition that DOTD is dedicated to making its streets safer and more open to everyone, regardless of age, ability, income, ethnicity or mode of travel."
The Coalition's report also indicates that the rate of Complete Streets policy adoption across the country is increasing exponentially.
"As residents of communities across the country increasingly desire the ability to walk, bike or take transit to and from jobs, shops and schools, we're seeing more and more localities understand the importance of providing for all transportation network users," Millar adds. "This is not something that is limited to big or coastal cities — in fact, what we're seeing is that over one-third of all policies have been adopted in suburban communities with fewer than 30,000 residents, and nearly one in five policies are in small, rural towns."
"It's encouraging to see towns and cities of each and every size invest in more holistic approaches to building and maintaining streets, just like in Louisiana. The safety, health, economic, environmental and quality of life benefits are obvious when you provide for everyone in your community."
Taken together with the latest edition of the Coalition's Complete Streets Local Policy Workbook, the Complete Streets Policy Analysis serves as an effective starting point for transportation experts and interested local leaders to begin mapping out their own Complete Streets policies.
"Now more than ever, the Complete Streets policies we're seeing are inclusive, diverse and accountable," Millar says. "That's a good thing no matter which form of transportation you prefer."

OT: Harold Reynolds fired from ESPN
Report: Reynolds fired by ESPN amid sexual harassment accusation July 26, 2006 NEW YORK (AP) -- Harold Reynolds was fired by ESPN from his job as a baseball analyst after he was accused of sexual harassment, the New York Post reported Wednesday. The former Gold Glove-winning second baseman, a member of the "Baseball Tonight" team for 11 years, said he didn't do anything to warrant his dismissal and wants his job back. ADVERTISEMENT "It was a total misunderstanding," Reynolds told the Post. "My goal is to sit down and get back. To be honest with you, I gave a woman a hug and I felt like it was misinterpreted." The newspaper, quoting sources, reported that the woman is an ESPN employee. On Tuesday, ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz said Reynolds, 45, made his last on-air appearance for the network Sunday night. ESPN refused to comment on previous reports that Reynolds was dismissed, or to provide any details regarding his departure. "All I can say is he is no longer working here," Krulewitz said. Reynolds, who played 12 major league seasons, joined ESPN in 1996. In addition to his work on "Baseball Tonight," he also covered the College World Series and the Little League World Series. ESPN already was dealing with the loss of another baseball analyst, Peter Gammons, who has been off the air since he was stricken with a brain aneurysm on June 27. |
hmmm...but Michael Irvin still has a job.
RACISM!!!! jk |
"NEW YORK (AP) -- Harold Reynolds was fired by ESPN from his job as a baseball analyst after he was accused of sexual harassment, the New York Post reported Wednesday. "
This is lame if it's true. He was just accused. Not convicted in a court of law...but accused. Just ridiculous. This country is so effed up. And all over a hug......that's a crock of crap. |
Well that would be pretty effed up if it were true, but there will be more to the story. You do not get fired for your first accusation of misconduct. It had to happen more than a few times with more than a few warnings, he didn't heed the warnings so now he is gone. Especially an on-air personality, they know he would fight it tooth and nail if it were true that it was a 1 time misunderstanding. ESPN is a big company that will take all the right steps in firing one of the more popular workers they have, so I HIGHLY doubt that it was a 1 time misunderstanding. |
Pathetic. |
Free Harold Reynolds.
Harold probably has ass waiting for him in every city, why does he need office ass? The story doesn't make any sense. And we really need to clarify what is and what isn't sexual harassment. Unauthorized groping, yes, it is sexual harassment. Giving a trick a hug, no, that is not sexual harrassment. Walking by a woman and accidently grazing your shoulder against her hooters is not sexual harrasment. We need to clarify these things. |
I enjoyed last night on SportsCenter when one of the talking hairpieces said that "ESPN has learned that Harold Reynolds has been fired from 'Baseball Tonight'." Great investigative journalism there guys! What'd it involve, going to the cubicle next to yours and asking Steve from HR "Was Harold canned today?"
but you are right, there a is HUGE process to get joe schmoo fired but a widely popular on-air personality with money to afford lawyers is getting canned on a 1 time accusation. |
"You're with me, ESPN employee."
from pft.com
ESPN DUMPS REYNOLDS Though it has nothing to do with football, we were stunned to see that ESPN abruptly fired baseball analyst Harold Reynolds. So we poked around a little bit with some of our industry connections (yes, we have a few) to find out why Reynolds has gotten the boot. Here's what we learned. Reynolds recently had signed a new contract with ESPN, and was let go for "a fairly significant company violation." Fueled by rumors that we spotted on deadspin.com regarding the question of whether Reynolds had uttered phrases like "You're with me, leather" to one or more of his female co-workers, we pressed for more info, and our source told us that it was "definitely" a case of sexual harassment. Based on our legal experience, it's unusual for the employer to dump the alleged harasser, if there's any concern that the matter might end up in litigation. It becomes difficult for the company to claim that the allegations aren't valid if the company has fired the guy. Our guess? There must be some pretty damning evidence to prompt the network to move so quickly -- along the lines, say, of George Costanza's activities with the cleaning lady to whom he gave the sweater with the red spot. Otherwise, ESPN would have waited until a more natural point to sever the relationship. Also, given that Reynolds had recently signed a new contract, it's pretty clear that this is something that just, um, popped up. |
Let's say this woman accuses me of grabbing her ass in the copy room and exposing myself while everyone in the building is on lunch break. I fondle her up and down for a minute while talking some real nasty **** and then walk away. She runs to HR after you get back from your lunch break and tells you guys about it. What do you do? I get a warning? |
Rumor has it that he was responsible for Danika Patrick going Andretti Green.
Really it is not a hard process to understand unless you have a me against the world attitude or you just have never had a serious job. Since this was a surprise firing with him being on air as early as the night prior, that means he either did it a few times with warnings so this was the last straw or he was caught red handed by a higher up. |
Good! I'm glad they got rid of the groping , sexist, chauvinistic pig!
What's your take Gonzo? |
Since I have never dealt with sexual harassment, I am just seeing what the process is. So what happens after the investigation? Obviously, since there were no witnesses I get my job back correct? It's like I get a free one time pass at sexually harassing a lady. |
I dont think he has that kinda pull Ha! Reynolds seems like a nice guy. Irvin got caught with drugs in his car and Reynolds hugs a gal and gets fired, go figure. |
you're absolutely right..... either reynolds has been warned numerous times....or he made a monumental mistake.... |
But on basis of the work part of it. If it was found to be true you would obviously be fired. But if they either found it to be true but couldn't get enough evidence to fire they will try to place either 1 of you in a different position away from eachother & give you a last chance warning which in the next case it comes up true or not you would probably be fired as it wouldn't be the first time the accusation happened. |
Of course, we'll miss in the Little League finals, comparing 12-year olds to Jeter and explaining how 79 mph is really 99mph with the closer mound. Sad.

Windows Won't Start Up
How to Fix Windows Won't Start Up Problems?
2012-08-21 14:06:52 / Posted by Jerry Cook to Windows Help
Follow @JerryCook
Someday, you have no idea what has happened. When you boot up your computer, Windows won't start normally. Safe mode, start windows normally and Windows repair (recommended) don't work. It just shows you a Microsoft Windows logo, like Windows is loading files and then it stuck there or even gives you a black screen showing error messages like BOOTMGR is missing, NTLDR is missing,or even worst just a blue screen of death. What to do? There are quite a few of files, pictures and videos on it! I can't afford to lose! How can I fix this computer boot up problem?
Don't worry. Here are solutions to start Windows properly.
Why your Computer Won't Start up Windows?
The Blue Screen of Death, also known as a stop error or a bug check, is the error screen displayed by the Windows operating systems upon encountering a critical error that causes the system to crash. It is named after the color of the screen generated by the error. For the other cases, since you are able to see the Windows logo, we can tell that your operating system is crashed, corrupted or damaged instead of hardware problems. And for system boot up files missing or corrupted, Windows start up problem may be caused by different reasons. So that's why your computer won't start up normally. There are common reasons like:
- The file system on your hard drive is corrupted / damaged
- Windows can't start up because the following file is missing or corrupt.
C:\windows\system32\config\system - Some Windows operating system boot files gone missing or corrupted, such as
NTLDR is missing, BOOTMGR is missing, MBR file is missing or corrupted, etc.
Of course, the most desirable thing you want is to fix Windows won't start up issue. But before you do anything to fix this computer problem, you must be worrying about your data on the computer. Therefore, the very first thing you need to do is, make sure all your important files are safely backed up. Once your data's backed up, you can continue to repair your computer.
Fix Windows Won't Start up Problem
"Try safe mode!" or "Do a startup repair!" are the usual pieces of wisdom you think about when Windows fails to boot. In some cases, this just doesn't get the job done. If this happen to you, you need a third-party program to help you. Fix Genius allows you to perform any system rescue tasks even though your Windows system won't boot: Create a boot disk, boot your computer from CD/DVD/USB, then enter the Win PE system and repair the system, fix all booting problems and recover lost data.
This "Windows won't start" troubleshooting tool apply no matter what Windows operating system you have installed on your hard drive, including Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows XP.

Ubisoft branching out, opening animated-movie studio |
Listed in: Wii, PS3, Nintendo DS, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Canada, Quebec, Ubisoft, Ubisoft Montreal, Yves Guillemot
According to GameSpot, today's issue of the Quebecois broadsheet La Presse reports that tomorrow, the Canadian government will announce it is giving Ubisoft's Montreal-based subsidiary C$ 8 million (around US$ 6.8 million).
The money is apparently part of an ongoing grant program where Ubisoft receives C$ 454 million (approximately US$ 383.9 million) from Ottawa to create 1,000 jobs in Quebec. La Presse says the money is to "permit the creation of a computer-animation studio in Montreal." The studio would be the first of its kind in the city's history, and would be used initially to produce short films for the general public.
Canada's labor minister Jean-Pierre Blackburn and Montreal's mayor, Gerald Tremblay, will be making the grant announcement tomorrow according to La Presse. Ubisoft chairman and CEO Yves Guillemot will be in attendance, as will Ubisoft Montreal head Yannis Mallat. Ubisoft has yet to give a statement regarding this issue, though, and according to GameSpot, the publisher's corporate PR office had not responded to requests for comment.

Works Wonders!
Loooooooooooove this mascara! Even without wearing the primer its amazing. So far my favorite. I wouldnt change it for another. It leaves my lashes looking longer & fuller. Love it!
This is my favorite drug-store mascara, ever. I have been using it as my go-to mascara for almost 4 years now, and I still love it. I have tried others, but this is the one I always come back to. For the price, you can NOT go wrong.
It can be hard to get off, but honestly, thats more of a pro for me.
power to length !!
i discovered this mascara 2 years ago and it does wonders for my tiny eyelashes. It really does lengthen your eyelashes and that is all i ever asked for. i love false lashes but if i don't have time time for them i use this.
AMAZING! This mascara makes your lashes SOOO long!! It works super great the only down side is that like the other of the collection you have to take the brush and remove some mascara on it and trust me, sometimes there is SOO much to remove
This mascara has denfinately lived up to its name! It makes your lashes look very long and very dark, but for me its a bit too much. It does clump if you put the tinyest bit too much on and because im still in school i dont always feel its appropriate for school. Over all it is a pretty good mascara. :)
