Doubtful.The highest mortgage balances are in deep blue states and areas --- CA, NY, etc.Too politically costly for the Dhims. Click Here if you Like this Comment
This is Exhibit A what is wrong with the tax code - struggling renters subsidizing $1,000,000 mortgages in The Hamptons.People don´t buy houses for a mortgage deduction. They buy a house because they want a house, and then take the deduction. Getting rid of it will lower property values in The Hamptons by 5%. Big deal.Canada, with no mortgage interest deduction, has the same rate of home ownership as the US. Click Here if you Like this Comment
From what I´ve read, Canada has stiff downpayment minimums and no interest deduction, but about the same home ownership rate as the US does. So maybe the assumptions of the market-interventionists are wrong? Maybe other factors matter, maybe in some ways more than the numbers do?Things like equal treatment in the mortgage market? Like predictability in the laws? Stability in the laws? Less social-engineering in the laws? Click Here if you Like this Comment
It´s certainly wrong to subsidize the purchase of second homes. Why, the people who build them can certain collect unemployment like everyone else.And that people making over 100K account for three-fourths of the deductions? You know who makes more than 100K? Two teachers, a cop and a nurse, a small-business owner who supports five or 10 workers. Yeah, punish those plutocrats!In truth, there are worse deductions. It makes the most sense to remove them all and institute a flat tax, as a poster noted. But that takes away the power of pols to deal with people who want their own special breaks. It´s a racket, and we´re paying for it. Click Here if you Like this Comment
Economists have a word to describe unintended consequences - externalities.One of the externalities of the Reagan tax reform was to push people into second mortgages, lines of credit or remortages to keep the tax deduction for the purchase of a car, boat, etc. That put alot of people in jeopardy because housing prices were inflated by generous appraisals so that banks could lend the money.Now, if president zero and the democrats in congress change the IRS rules, there will be a loss of balance, also called stasis, in the economy. It would be a stupid move. But I do call him President Zero for a reason. He is the dumbest man in the room. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
The guy in LA was hoping to be grandfathered but the mortgage interest deduction is one of the biggest ponzi schemes. The real estate and banking community push this which only increases their income and not the homeowner. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.

You can make an argument for and against the mortgage deduction, but changing it now would tank home values like we´ve never seen. That would really hurt folks who own their homes free and clear the most. Their asset value would be cut in half probably, overnight. Others would just walk away from their mortgages. So to all those L.dotters cheering for this to go away, don´t be upset when your equity is halved. Click Here if you Like this Comment
It doesn´t only affect expensive homes. If, say, a $1M home is now worth $800K, then an $800K home is worth $600K, and so on down the house food chain. This hurts the value of every home. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
For those of us with good incomes, this is the ONLY tax deduction left. We will be really screwed up because we have what you people assume is a "2nd" home, but it really just a tired old lake cottage. It still has a mortgage, has already lost a third of its value, and we planned our finances with the deduction in mind. So losing our equity I 2 homes by a third AND the deduction would suck! You are not necessarily "rich " if you have a second home. Like us, you may now be poor! Click Here if you Like this Comment
Why do we let these dimwits control this conversation?This is not something that "COSTS" the government. It SAVES money for the government because people who own their own homes and have assets are less dependent on welfare and government handouts. Homeowners make more responsible citizens and are active in the communities where they live. Sure, there are wealthy who also take advantage of the break, but who cares? We regular people outnumber the "rich" in droves.They are after all of us, they just use the buzzword "rich" to get everyone worked up in a frenzy and to make us forgetful.

Better to go over the cliff and all pay the Clinton rates than to give Dems a chance to pick and choose elements of the tax code to extract more revenue.

The mortgage is on the property, not the person. Assuming the home buyer is creditworthy, there are no assurances in the mortgage business that any borrower will live for a year or five or ten. The loan will remain as a lien against his property regardless of where he is. Click Here if you Like this Comment
The deduction should be phased out gradually. Reduce it 10% a year, or even 5%.There would be no big jolt to those with mortgages now or even to new buyers. Yet eventually the tax code is simplified. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
Everyone I know will lose their homes. We are not rich and we have bought what we could afford. We´d be screwed. It is the only way the average person can own and I cannot believe some of you think this would be a good idea. Thanks for nothing. A little unfair to change the rules at this point, don´t you think?

Bought our very modest second home with thoughts of retirement. Well, the retirement thoughts have been pushed back several years and the value of both places have diminished. The tax deduction is helping us personally stay above water, but just barely. Click Here if you Like this Comment

To those of you who think this tax deduction should go away have you thought about what this would do to the construction industry? You think it is bad now- it will never come back.Also when the home values plunge the property taxes will also go down. We will be headed for a complete depression not just a recession. And I fear this country would never recover. Click Here if you Like this Comment 1 person like this.
The mortgage interest deduction inflates the cost of housing and we would be better off without it in the long run. The problem, of course, is that those who are depending on it would face a loss in the value of their properties and would be paying taxes just like those who have paid off their mortgages. The existing system is another case of the frugal subsidizing the profligate. Click Here if you Like this Comment

If someone would truly lose their home if this deduction goes away, then they cannot afford that house to begin with. Canada proves this deduction is not necessary for a very healthy home ownership rate. We pay high taxes, appreciate the deduction on our two mortgages but it won´t "break" us if it goes away.

Pulse: Count 'em out as candidates
December 23, 2012 3:56PM
Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton will retire next month after 28 years with the police department. | File photo
Updated: January 25, 2013 6:07AM
Scratch Kevin Hegarty and Robert Iuffues Web b from the list of possible candidates for three at-large Joliet City Council seats in the April 9 election.
Hegarty, the city's former communications director and a mayoral candidate in 2011, took out petitions but said last week he has decided not to run.
Webb, who regularly comments on city policy at council meetings, took out petitions but has informed the city clerk's office that he will not run.
Alicia Morales, a more recent council gadfly on the topic of the immigration detention center, also took out petitions but has said she will not run.
The last day to turn in petitions is Wednesday.
One man's junk ...
The city of Joliet still is working on a compromise with second-hand goods dealers who have been unhappy with a plan to put customer information on a LeadsOnline Internet service.
Police agencies use LeadsOnline to look for stolen goods.
"We're close," Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton told the city council last week.
But the council agreed with a staff request to take the proposed ordinance off of its agenda indefinitely. Trafton said the city still is working with scrap dealers.
Oh, the irony!
Joliet City Councilman Larry Hug was dubbed to read the city proclamation for Smokefree Illinois Week at last week's council meeting.
"The irony is not lost on me. I'm the only smoker on the council," Hug said.
He got some support from Jennifer Blair, the community health educator for Will County who was there to accept the proclamation. Blair gave Hug a tap on the arm and said, "I'm an ex-smoker, so I know how you feel."
Hug was spotted smoking outside city hall before the meeting but delivered the nine-paragraph proclamation without a cough.
The drive to Springfield
If Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, the newly elected state senator from the 49th District, gets a flat on one of her future drives to Springfield, she won't necessarily have to call AAA.
Bertino-Tarrant, a Democrat from Shorewood, worked at the family business, Bertino's Auto Service, while growing up. It was a gas station then, and Bertino-Tarrant pumped gas and did other work, said Glen Marcum, who manages the business and is a Joliet park commissioner.
Was she a mechanic? No, Marcum said. Could she change tires?
"She did some of that," he said.
Something extra
Families using the Lockport Food Pantry got an unexpected bonus with their groceries Friday.
Lockport Township firefighters donated two pickup trucks worth of new toys to be distributed along with the food pickup.
Bob Okon and Brian Stanley contributed to Pulse.

Sabic Offers New Anti-Static Compounds For Inhalation Devices
Published: February 11th, 2010
Sabic Innovative Plastics has launched three additions to its LNP Stat-Loy specialty compounds for inhalation devices that provide permanent anti-static properties.
Pre-assessed for biocompatibility per ISO 10993, the materials eliminate the need for coatings and secondary operations, and help ensure repeatability of dosing and potentially lower drug costs through more efficient aerosal and powder dispensing, the company said.
In announcing the compounds at MD&M West in Anaheim, Sabic said the materials will help drive design flexibility with devices that can optimize patient dosing, and reduce manufacturing system costs.
The compounds are available in three transparent resin systems featuring superior clarity: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, polymethylmethacrylate, and Xylex resin. They are also available in opaque resins for combining opaque and clear components for design or functional purposes.

MARTIN, Tenn. – Fans are encouraged to wear white in an effort to "White Out" the Kathleen and Tom Elam Center when The University of Tennessee at Martin men's basketball team hosts SIU Edwardsville for a noon tip-off on Saturday, Feb. 9. The game will be broadcasted live in the Tennessee/Kentucky markets on Fox Sports South and nationally on Fox Sports Midwest.
The Skyhawks will go for the season sweep over fellow Ohio Valley Conference West rival SIU Edwardsville, as they picked up a 65-62 road victory in Edwardsville on Jan. 26. Saturday's game is part of a doubleheader, as the UT Martin women's basketball game will tip off at 2:30 p.m. against SIU Edwardsville.
The Skyhawk cheerleaders will have a facepainting/sign station set up for children at the game, while UT Martin students will be eligible to draw for a free semester's worth of books and a Spring Break trip.
The men's game can be seen locally on Charter (Channel 33), DISH Network (Channel 420) and DirecTV (Channel 646). This game will be the third UT Martin men's game to be broadcasted on the Fox Sports Family of Networks in 2012-13. The Skyhawks' games against Cincinnati (Nov. 11) and Memphis (Nov. 29) were featured on FSN Ohio and FSN South, respectively.

UPS driver rescues dog dangling from window in Boston
BOSTON (WHDH) -- A UPS driver rescued a dog that was dangling from a window in Boston's South End Monday.
"Just me being me, trying to help people out," said Hector Matta, UPS employee.
It was anything but an ordinary day for Hector Matta, who rescued a dog dangling from a South End apartment window about 3 p.m. Monday.
"Just happened to make a delivery and look up and see this dog on the window shaking," Matta said. "I just tried to do the best I could with the dog because I felt bad for him."
A nearby construction site handed Matta a ladder and he climbed up to the rescue.
"He was just in the window and hanging for dear life and I looked up and it was shivering," Matta said.
The screen window was clearly busted where the dog had gotten through. Matta was able to push the dog back inside.
"I love dogs -- I love animals. It's nothing for me, this is what I do," Matta said.
"Thank you, thank you so much. In fact, I was trying to figure out how to reach out to him. I really thank them so much for saving my baby," the dog's owner said.
Matta has been a UPS employee for over a decade.

MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSESynopsis: In MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSE, Rita Chiarelli, Canada's Queen of the Blues, takes a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the Blues: Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary, a.k.a Angola Prison - formerly the bloodiest prison in America. Rita's trip turns into an unprecedented historic jailhouse performance, playing with – rather than for – musician inmates serving life sentences. Their shared bond of music, and Chiarelli's ebullient personality, draw striking revelations from the inmates. Rather than sensational stories of convicts, we witness remarkable voices of hope as their love of music radiates humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness.
Rita Chiarelli will appear in person, performing and answering questions, at the conclusion of the film.
READ THE REVIEWS: Peter Howell, Toronto Star Don Schwartz, CineSource Magazine Barry Hammond, See Magazine
MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSE 1hr 27 min Documentary Rita Chiarella Saturday, June 30th 7:00pm Tickets $15.00 - at the box office |

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- Springs Police Chief Pete Carey addressed a special group of Harrison High School students Friday morning.
"When you guys see on the news or read in the newspaper about a young adult is involved in a situation involving a robbery or crime that hurts somebody, almost every case...in the high 90s... that's got to deal with drugs in some form or fashion," said Carey.
It was in fact a cautionary tale about the dangers and drugs and alcohol. But more than that, for this group of students it was also a celebration for their pledge against such dangers. Harrison won the 'iCHOOSE' drug free contest after hundreds of students signed to rise above the temptations of substance abuse.
"Please understand the decision you make to make a pledge to be drug free, is something you'll see the benefits of forever," said Carey.
"I signed the pledge because, myself I'm an athlete," said junior Demetrius Graves. "And I try to keep myself involved. The temptation is always there, but first and foremost I concentrate hard in the class and then after we get out of class, I focus on athletics. I notice that my life, it glides easily."
Chief Carey helped present a banner to hang in the school before thanking the students for their promise.
"I'm so proud of you for making a choice by saying hey I'm making a pledge that I'm not gonna get involved with that. Good job for you."

We offer two ways to locate information:
We have added the following products to your shopping cart from a previous visit:
Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Unlike some of its Borsao stablemates, this bottling isn't gushing with fruit in the nose, but it has something more: balance. Black cherries and blueberries coincide with gentle vanilla and toast, and mineral and rock elements finish the wine, along with a whisp of citrusy crispness.
Founded in 1958 in the town of Borja, called Borsao in the 4th century B.C., this winery represents what can be done with Garnacha, a grape that is not well appreciated by the Spanish press. Through meticulous selection, work in the fields and at reception time in the winery, modern winemaking produces this highly fruity wine. One of the best examples of the region known as "The Garnacha land of Spain", the lower part of the Ebro River.
The third largest country in production, Spain ranks first in land under vine. Diversity and innovation are the key factors bringing Spain back into the world wine market. The most popular red varieties of Spain include Tempranillo and Garnacha (Grenache). Whites don't garner quite as much recognition, but there are some regional varieties not to be missed, like Albarino...Read More About Other Spain
Grenache (greh-NAASH) Sun-Worshiper This sun-worshiping grape gets ripe and loves hot, dry weather. Popular in Spain (called Garnacha), Australia and the southern Rhone region of France, Grenache is the primary grape in regions such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape, Tavel, and Priorat. It's often tamed by less fleshy, more structured grapes like Syrah...Read More About Grenache

Collapse this image More information about Windows UpdateCollapse this image Microsoft periodically makes software updates available to users of Windows and other Microsoft software. These include updates that improve reliability and performance, updates that provide new protections against malware and other potentially unwanted software, and upgrades to Windows features. To improve the performance or the reliability of hardware components on the computer, Microsoft may also provide updates to device drivers that are supplied by the computer manufacturer. If you turn on Windows Update, software components that are directly related to Windows Update will have to be updated occasionally on your computer. These updates must be performed before Windows Update can check for required updates or before it can install other updates. These required updates fix errors, provide ongoing improvements, and maintain compatibility with the Microsoft servers that support Windows Update. If you disable Windows Update, you will not receive these updates. Windows Update is configured to install updates automatically when you select the recommended option during Windows Out Of Box Experience (OOBE) Setup. You can also turn on Windows Update by selecting one of following settings in the Automatic Updates item in Control Panel:
The updates to Windows Update itself typically do the following: Address feedback from customers, improve compatibility, service performance and reliability, and enable new service capabilities. When the Windows Update server is updated, a corresponding client update is typically required. During an agent self-update operation, Windows Update Agent files may be added, modified, or replaced. For example, Windows Update Agent files that help display the user experience or that determine whether updates apply to a particular system may be added. This behavior occurs when a system is set to automatically check for available updates. This does not occur when automatic updates are turned off. For example, this behavior does not occur if you select Never check for updates in Windows Vista and Windows 7 or if you select Turn off Automatic Updates in Windows XP.

THE GUERRILLA ANGEL REPORT — The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously reinstated a lawsuit that was previously tossed out by a lower court, which will now allows trans inmate Ophelia Azriel De'lonta to proceed with her case against the state of Virginia to allow her to undergo sex reassignment surgery.
De'lonta attorneys argued that to deny her the surgery amounted to "cruel and unusual" punishment — a violation of the Eighth Amendment. The court did not order the surgery but ruled the case was viable and the previous judge was wrong for tossing it. The case now goes back down to district court for further proceedings. De'lonta is in prison for bank robbery with a 73 year term.
4th Circuit Judge Albert Diaz: "The disease is "characterized by a feeling of being trapped in a body of the wrong gender . . . In these cases, the surgery is not considered experimental or cosmetic; is it an accepted, medically indicated treatment."
The "cruel and unusual punishment" claim is the same one that recently won Mass. inmate Michelle Kosilek an order from a judge requiring the state to give her the surgery (now being appealed). More on Kosilek: http://lexiecannes.wordpress.com/?s=Michelle+Kosilek

Smartphones are always with us, but along with them come some bad habits.
In some ways, we've become annoying and rude and antisocial with our smartphones and tablets.
These are things you literally could not do before the www went mobile; now we're embarrassing ourselves all over the place. Please stop:
1. Drunk -tweeting, -texting, -Instagramming, etc.
Long gone are the days when the only witnesses to your inebriated ramblings were other bar patrons who also saw you stumble from your bar stool to the ground. Whether you're able to keep it together with spelling and syntax (in which case, you've just got the world going, "Wait, she wants to do WHAT to Paul Ryan?!"), or your typing skills erode quickly, alcohol and mobile devices don't mix.
2. Fooling around on your phone whenever you have a spare moment.
As writer Austin Kleon writes in his alarmingly cute book, "Steal Like an Artist," we need unstructured time for creativity to foster, down time in which we mess around and let our disconnected thoughts gel into cool ideas.
If you turn every spare moment (a red light, a line at the salad station, a ride in the elevator) into an excuse to check your Cinemagram feed, you just won't have those artistic a ha! moments. (And no, "Draw Something" doesn't count.)
3. Passive-aggressively whining for the whole world to see.
Look, we all have our personal stock of First World Problems, frustrated complaints with the minor injustices committed by a cruel, uncaring world. That's been true since the dawn of time. Now we just have myriad means of expressing them.
Nobody cares about your thinly veiled railings against your ex or roommate or employer, OK? Unless you've scribbled it on a notepad, in which case you should share it with the world on. So that we can laugh at you.
4. Being really, really scared to actually use the phone.
Phones and tablets have made it oh so easy to communicate without using our voiceboxes. This is bad for relationships for oh so many reasons. Anais Nin would just hate it. Hit "dial" and enjoy the time-honored pas de deux of two humans, you know, talking.
5. Missing your favorite band's concert because you're so busy taking crappy photos, letting your phone ring and fiddling with your phone during the set.
Your hard-of-hearing, reformed punk-rock uncle was right: Concerts really WERE better back in the day, not necessarily because music really meant something, man, but because the audience actually paid attention and sang along and danced instead of holding their phones in the air and spending 30-plus seconds trying to find the shutter button on the front of the screen.
Your punkle would be so disappointed if he still made it out to shows today.
6. Texting salacious pictures.
The ritual sharing of NC-17 photos used to be a complicated analog affair involving Polaroids and furtive looks. Nowadays, people just drop trou, snap and send. Analyze THAT, Anais Nin.
7. Turning your friends into enemies with videos of them.
Camcorders have become tiny and discreet and as user-friendly as checking your e-mail. This is potentially bad news for those people you hang out with, as you hold in your hands a recording device that can humiliate them forever.
Set ground rules and roll the camera judiciously, lest you wind up publicly shaming a friend for her foul mouth, caught-on-film fart or unpopular political opinions.
8. Letting your seething anger leach out into the world at large.
Humans have always done stupid things when they're emotionally riled up. Now, those tantrums and rages and outbursts are shared and cached for the world to see. Take a deep breath and put down the smartphone.
9. Texting while walking.
Rarely does this go well. Whatever's so urgent can probably wait a few minutes. Or you can, you know, actually call the person (see No. 4).

100 Miles per Hour and 32 Miles per Gallon
Tweet |
By John Gilkison and Philip Knox
If there was a vehicle you could buy today which would allow you to travel safely at 100 MPH (161 KM/H) on the interstate highway system while still getting 32 MPG would you buy it? It is the working premise of this blog that many Americans would. In fact, buyers would be willing to pay a reasonable $2,000 to $5,000 premium for such high-speed vehicles. Many would be willing to go through the semi-annual inspections, acquiring the special driver's license, and attend the high-speed driving school needed to get such a specialized driving license.
High-speed fuel efficient vehicles are possible based upon the known laws of physics, known vehicle body construction techniques, and currently available off-the-shelf-technology. The federal government needs to become actively involved in promoting a high-speed interstate highway project, setting the vehicle specifications so the automobile industry can market such high speed but fuel efficient vehicles, and put the infrastructure in place to create the market pull to make the project work.
Our proposal is based on Honda Research & Development Co., LTD data from a Hiroyuki Ozawa paper published in the Japanese Society of Automotive Engineers JSAE Review (1998) 343-349. In this study we extrapolated from data published on a "Conventional 1996 Honda Accord. The baseline assumptions are using the current interstate highway speed of 75 MPH for a starting point. The projections of fuel consumption needed for given aerodynamic shapes are known and based on proven experimental data collected back to the early 1920's.
A 1996 Honda Accord is a 5 passenger 4 door medium sized sedan with a curb weight of 2,885 lbs. With a projected frontal area of 21.238 square feet it has coefficient of drag of 0.32. The Honda 2.2 liter 4-cylinder engine is rated at 130 B HP at 5,200 RPM and 144 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 RPM. My wife and I owned a 1995 Honda Accord so we know from personal experience it was capable of delivering 32 MPG (while requiring less than 32 brake horsepower unknown to me at that time) to maintain 75 MPH. This fuel consumption rate will be the stated goal for our 100 MPH fuel efficient interstate highway car.
The specification for our 100 MPH car would allow a brake specific fuel consumption of no worse than the 0.448 lbs of fuel per B HP-hour of the 1996 Honda Accord to be adequate. The engine if of the internal combustion type may have no more than two (2) liters of displacement and the vehicle should be able to return 32 miles per gallon of unleaded fuel at a steady speed of 100 MPH. Society of Automotive Engineers Handbook parameters for standard barometric pressure, temperature, and operating conditions apply. While we would leave it to the manufacturers on how to accomplish this, it could be emphasized that most of the fuel economy performance gains should be obtained from aerodynamic body changes alone.
A 100 MPH vehicle like this with a Coefficient of Drag of approximately 0.125, (CD = 0.125) and minor reduction in frontal area, with gear matching would maintain 31.38 B HP necessary to power the car at the increased speed within the engine's proper map of performance. We would specify that such vehicles would be at a minimum four passenger and possibly five passenger vehicles. High-speed two seat sports cars would not be eligible for the high speed left lane travel on the interstate because of their inherent passenger mileage inefficiency.
In essence we are turning the whole high-speed vehicle concept on its head by stipulating that currently used horsepower requirements for medium sized passenger automobiles (that are sufficient to travel at 75 MPH with a fuel consumption rate of 32 MPG) are adequate to travel at 100 MPH with the same fuel consumption rate.
The key component is improved aerodynamic body forms which will compensate for the increased rolling resistance this higher speed creates. If diesel engines are used instead of gasoline engines, the requirements for MPG performance should be raised to 35 MPG to compensate for the higher BTU content of diesel fuel per unit of volume. Plug In Electric Hybrid Drive or even Battery Electric Drive Vehicles would be capable of the same performance utilizing such body forms with the same power output.
A side benefit of such a project would be that vehicles capable of 32 MPG fuel efficiency at 100 MPH would be capable of far higher fuel efficiency at lower speeds. Our aerodynamic 100 MPH/32 MPG vehicle would be capable of 58 MPG at 75 MPH, 65 MPG at 65 MPH, and 111 MPG at 55 MPH. While the range of the 17 gallon gas tank would be 544 miles at 100 MPH, it would be extended to 994 miles at 75 MPH, 1,119 miles at 65 MPH, and an astonishing 1,889 miles at 55 MPH (until fuel starvation). The top speed of such a vehicle as envisioned here would be an incredible 177 MPH with the stated power plant.
Step One: The government announces the project and the funding for the [High Speed Interstate Highway Travel Act] giving automakers who desire to sell said vehicles three years to produce their vehicle for market. Mazda has already demonstrated the ability to bring totally new vehicles to market within this time frame.
Step Two: Work would begin on the interstate highway system to create a third left lane intended for this high speed travel immediately. The high speed lanes would be created only on rural interstate highways where the current speed is already 75 MPH. Work would proceed from the most southern locations first, especially in the sunbelt, then working north through time towards more northern latitudes.
Step Three: The federal government would institute federal government driver's license requirements to be in place by the year previous to the start year to allow car owners to meet the requirements for high speed driving school to pass the test. The school would be similar to the training which police departments, security personnel, and the highway patrol currently use.
Step Four: The infrastructure of central control communications to vehicles traveling in the high speed lanes would be put in place. All safety systems should be in place as the high-speed lanes become operational. The government would also guarantee the automakers of specific government fleet purchases of this class of vehicles to insure initial sales.
Step Five: All vehicles would have a built in transponder which would allow the highway patrol to know if the vehicle in the high speed left lane was legally permitted to be there. Any vehicle traveling in these left high speed lanes that was not specifically designed to get the required 32 MPG and incorporating all the required safety equipment would be cited for speeding regardless of their speed. The ticket would be for doing 100 MPH in a 75 MPH zone. An alcohol blood level found for any driver in a high speed lane greater than 0.02 would constitute a DWI by federal law and would be prosecutable by local authorities regardless of state laws in place for that locality.
Travel times between major cities would be reduced by 25%. For example, travel between Salt Lake City, UT and San Francisco, CA (734 miles) would be reduced from roughly 10 hours to 7 hours and 20 minutes exclusive of stops. Tucson, AZ to San Antonio, TX (868 miles) would be reduced from 11 hours and 45 minutes to 8 hours and 41 minutes. These are significant travel time reductions considering they stem solely from only a 25 MPH increase in speed.
While we admit that there are safety concerns we think they all are manageable given the off- the-shelf technology that is available for use in this new high speed vehicle class application. The improved aerodynamics notwithstanding, there is infrared imaging, radar, laser ranging, acoustics, light amplification, automatic computer vehicle control like traction/braking control, and vehicle design elements such as enhanced crumple zones, double wall fire wall construction, multiple air bag deployment locations, double racing style lap belt for passengers, etc. High speed travel would as a matter of course, should not be allowed in inclement weather, high winds, snow, road icing, etc.
We think that the 91 year old appearance of the aerodynamic shape of this new class of vehicles would be instantly overlooked because of the desire the motoring public would have for higher speed travel on our interstate highways. Interestingly enough the interstates were originally designed for higher speeds like 100 MPH. In short this new high speed vehicle class would create a market pull for these exotic automotive body forms, which just the increased fuel efficiency they yield will not do on its own.
Ironically the federal government would be assisting in breaking the "Tyranny of the Paris Dress Maker annual style changes" that the automobile industry has been in the thrall of since 1923. The government would be bringing fuel efficient design into the market place by specifying fuel efficiency for only a given class of vehicles set up to travel at 100 MPH, the power of the market place and the laws of physics would do the rest.
Post Script: Philip Knox of Sanger, Texas provided all the aerodynamic and brake horsepower fuel information for this blog. While I wrote the blog, Phil is in every sense of the word my collaborator on this project. We both feel that for such a project to succeed it must have a working timeline to be mostly completed inside an eight year time frame or less than two successive presidential administrations. Just like Kennedy's Apollo Moon landing program was.

"Absolutely horrible!"
Only good thing about this hotel was LEAVING it. Our room was very dated and way over priced for value received. The television barely worked and most channels were fuzzy, the sink was clogged and didn't drain (my husband had to shave in the bathtub to use that faucet to rinse his razor), and the tub\shower drained so slowly that I couldn't wash and […] rinse my hair. Breakfast was a joke, in a tiny room with a dirty waffle iron, a pitcher filled with cereal, a pitcher of milk, a pitcher of juice, and standing room only if you didn't get one of the six chairs available for eating.

I was looking for a very lightweight, small, compact, flexible day pack with a chest and waist strap for work days. I wanted to be able to park further away, put my lunch, handbag and other items needed for work into a small pack and walk to work. This has completely fitted the bill. If I had one small comment to make, it would be that I wish Mountainwarehouse made some 'women specific' backpacks, as I am on the smaller size, but this backpack is ok. The price I bought it for was amazing, such good value. If you are looking for a small lightweight daypack this should fit your needs too.

Purchased this as Xmas stocking filler for Mrs. to use on days out and cycling trips. Plenty of space to carry packed lunch in a mini cool bag & side pockets to carry drinks bottles. Plenty of other pockets to carry other bits & pieces. You should have seen her exploring all of the pockets in the shop. I purchased this, after adjusting the straps to sit it right on Mrs. back & checking it for snug fit. I have a similar rucksack purchased from MW during the summer.

This is a fantastic product. I needed something for skiing that would fasten at both chest level as well as waist level. this makes it really secure when navigating black runs. It is an ideal size for a day-trip skiing - not too big to impede movement when carving - and not so small that it only holds your goggles and water bottle. It appears to be well constructed so should prove tough and durable. And no, I don't work for Mountain Warehouse!

It is lightweight, has a waist strap that takes weight from the shoulders, and has lots of pockets. It is too narrow at the top for my laptop to fit.
