What GAO Found
In brief:
- Our preliminary analyses indicates that as of February 2013 FAA staffed facilities are generally in fair to good condition based on their Facility Condition Indices (FCI); however, we found that (1) there is not one reliable source with information on the condition of FAAs entire staffed facility portfolio and (2) the methods to determine facility condition vary so that information about the condition of one type of facility may not be comparable to that of other facility types. In our final report, we intend to discuss in greater depth the variation in methods to determine condition and the extent to which data from the various sources are reliable indicators of facility condition.
- Our initial analysis of the workers compensation claims filed by FAA employees and accepted by Labors Office of Workers Compensation Program (OWCP) from 2007 to 2012 indicates that the most common types of injuries and illnesses sustained by FAA employees range from mental, emotional, or nervous conditions to joint pain. In addition, we found that the number of injuries and illnesses resulting in workers compensation claims filed by FAA employees and accepted by OWCP, from 2007 to 2011, steadily decreased from 1,336 to 907. Our final report will detail the extent to which FAA has complied with established standards for timely processing of workers compensation claims.
- FAA has mechanisms to track its response to safety deficiencies identified through its annual inspections. In our final report, we plan to further discuss our analysis of the number and types of hazards identified by FAA and OSHA safety and health inspections and describe the extent to which FAA mitigated those hazards.
- In 2012, FAA reorganized its Air Traffic Organization (ATO) to better coordinate facilities management activities to ensure that critical operations facilitiessuch as terminal facilitiesare in good condition. Specifically, ATO uses a project prioritization model with criteria and scoring to evaluate and prioritize maintenance, repair, and restoration projects to ensure that those with the greatest need are addressed first. In our continuing work, we will review and analyze information on ATOs criteria and processes for determining requirements and implementing maintenance, repair, and restoration projects to sustain its operations facilities.
Why GAO Did This Study
The FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 mandated that GAO study the condition of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities, FAA employee occupational safety and health issues, and the resources allocated to FAA facility maintenance and renovation. The mandate required us to report to Congress and the FAA Administrator on the results of our study not later than 1 year after the date of enactment of the act. In accordance with the reporting date of the mandate, we briefed the committee staffs on our preliminary results on February 13 and 14, 2013. This letter summarizes and formally transmits the information that we presented at these briefings. We will complete our full study and issue our report in electronic format later this year.

The Future of Energy in a World of 400ppm and Rising
When you think of the future of energy, do you think of hillsides blanketed with wind turbines, cars powered by batteries instead of gas, and solar-powered office buildings?
If none of that sounds futuristic enough for you — where are the flying cars, bioengineered "living" cities fed by the sun and algae-powered lights? — that's because it really isn't.
The future of clean energy technology is already here, according to Dan Kammen, Jigar Shah and Joe Fargione — panelists at The Nature Conservancy's "Future of Nature" forum on energy held Monday, May 13 in Boston. These experts — representing academia, business and conservation — agreed: The world has all the technology we need for a clean energy future. The challenge is implementing it at scales that can make a difference for controlling the global greenhouse gas emissions caused by energy production.
And we need this now more than ever. Last week, scientists measured 400ppm of CO2 in Earth's air — a level that hasn't existed in millions of years, before humans were around. With the global population expected to exceed 9 billion by 2050 and no uniformed effort to control emissions in sight, CO2 measures will likely surpass the 400ppm marker very soon.
Moderator Anthony Brooks of Boston radio station WBUR — a co-sponsor of the event — asked the panelists: Can renewable energies help make a dent in climate change while still meeting our energy needs? Here's what they had to say.

This was my first purchase from Overstock. My goal was to find a basic sofa table, on the narrow side (14") I am very happy with the table and with Overstock's service. The table arrived just as described and just as promised -- on time with all the pieces intact including a 1-page list of parts w/assembly instructions. I put it together in less than 1 hour. Time includes unpacking, checking to make sure all the parts were included, and putting it together by myself. (It would probably have gone faster if there were 2 of us.) The finish is a black distressed or antiqued look. It could easily be painted black (automobile spray paint), if that's the look you want.
I needed a slender buffet table for a client to use for serving wine and displaying glasses. It was hard to find one this narrow with a distressed finish and smoky glass. We used it in a room that has oil bronze light fixtures and bronze,counter height stools. The table metal is somewhat blackish/silvery/iron colored - it would work well with many darker metals. The finish is very versatile. The assembly was easy. Shipping was quick. It is sturdy enough for its purpose and looks much more expensive. I see there are over 200 reviews of this product so it obviously has mass appeal! Don't be anxious about the negatives in some of them.They must have been unrealistic about their expectations. I would buy it again without hesitation and definitely recommend it. Its size makes it a very useful piece for a narrow space or a hallway. Overstock certainly finds some great products. I love to use them. Thanks.
I bought three pieces in this line. The sofa table, end table and cube. The style and airiness of the glass shelving makes my small living room appear larger. Assembly was quick and easy, but some of the screw holes were not aligned quite right. A tip for those who buy, do not tighten the screws down as you go. Leave them a bit loose until all the shelving brackets are connected. Then tighten all. Leaving some "wiggle room" makes aligning the screws easier.
I like the the table, it fits just right in my little dining room. I saw this similar style in Pottery barn but way too expensive, though they both similar in style, pottery barn has made on iron cast and overstock made of metal. The only concern is the color, its say its black but it wasnt fully black..so I sprayed it with black to match with my other iron cast side table. I suggest for those who doesn't like the color..spray it with black before assembling it. But all in all..table is fine, if you are looking for not so fancy table that fits your small space...this table is perfect.
Do NOT purchase this, the welds pop of when assembling, it should be about $20-30 for this. The legs apparently aren't welded to the screw plates level so the legs bow, then when you try to insert the shelf it automatically pops the lousy small welds. Must be made from aluminum foil because it's NOT sturdy welds or sturdy type metal, VERY bendable, thus it pops because it's like peanut brittle. OMG! Don't waste THIS MUCH MONEY on it! NOT WORTH IT and it's very small, ugly paint. I'm so upset I spent this much money on it, I will never buy anything from Overstock ever again, and I WAS a good customer. SMH!
I had been looking at a similar table from a pricier store for years, but couldn't bring myself to pay what they were asking for a simple metal and glass console. I didn't have high hopes for this table from Overstock based on the price alone, but I figured it was worth a shot. Needless to say I was surprised when we got it together and it looked GREAT. Now that its dressed up with a nice lamp and pottery in our entryway, its a dead ringer for the pricier version I oogled over for years. Very pleased with what we got for our money.
For the price, it's not a bad table. The 'distressed' paint looked awful, so I spray painted it with Rustoleum textured black to make it look like wrought iron. The tops of the legs don't fit quite right, with a bit of the top of two legs sticking out from under the top frame. The glass is nice and heavy. Not bad for a cheap table if you put a little effort into it and display where the slight misfit of the legs doesn't show prominently...
I ordered this for a small entry-way into my small apartment and it fit perfectly and is beautiful too! It's sturdy and displays things nicely too. I recently moved into a new house and gave all my apartment furniture away with the exception of this piece which went with me and it's now a gorgeous piece in my family room. It was easy to assemble as well. This is worth the money and then some......but I'm glad it was reasonably priced.
I was looking for a smaller console table for my hallway and had my eye on the Tanner Console at Pottery Barn Then I spotted this! Exactly the same measurements and description! Including their shipping, this is a saving of $312! I assembled it on my own in 20 mins. it was easy. Just don't screw any of the screws in fully until all legs are assembled (as other reviewers have stated). The table looks fantastic. It fits the bill exactly and I've had many compliments on it. Thanks again O.co, you're my goto place for home decorating.
I love love love this table! Excellent quality and super easy assembly! So many uses!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Take That Rangers Fan
by Paul on 03/03/08 at 10:19 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the Courier Post,
With about 5 minutes remaining in Sunday's game against the New York Rangers at Madison Square Garden, Carter got tripped up by Brandon Dubinsky along the offensive right wing corner.
A Rangers fan in that section called for a dive and Carter turned back at him and smiled.
On the ensuing power play, Carter scored on a pass from Scottie Upshall and pointed to the fan behind the glass as if to say, "That one's for you."
"I had a buddy there in the corner heckling me," Carter said. "So when I scored that goal I happened to turn that corner. I gave him a look and we had a good laugh. All in good fun."

Jeremy Welsh joining Hurricanes
RALEIGH, N.C. -- It's been a whirlwind few days for Jeremy Welsh: First the Frozen Four, then his NHL debut.
The forward is expected to skate for the Carolina Hurricanes at Florida on Saturday night. That's less than 48 hours after his Union College team lost in the NCAA semifinals and he signed with Carolina as a college free agent.
"I want to see him play, and I'm sure he'll get some good ice time," Hurricanes coach Kirk Muller said Friday after practice.
The 23-year-old Welsh certainly had an unforgettable Thursday night.
A few hours after his Union team was beaten by Ferris State in the Frozen Four in Tampa, Fla., he signed a one-year deal with Carolina that will pay $832,000 in the NHL or $70,000 in the minor leagues and included a $92,500 signing bonus.
The signing was announced by the Hurricanes six minutes before midnight, and he was expected to meet the team upon its arrival in Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.
Welsh played three seasons at Union, ranking third in the nation with 27 goals this season while adding 17 assists and leading the school to its first Frozen Four berth, and finished his career with 53 goals and 47 assists in 119 college games.
Before that, he had 36 goals and 47 assists in 2008-09, his final season at the junior level with Oakville of the Ontario Junior Hockey League.
Because he went undrafted that year, he was free to sign with any NHL team that wanted him once his college season ended.
Muller says he hopes the physical, 6-foot-3 forward can make some plays in front of the net.
"It's a lot of emotion, I'm sure," Muller said. "He's really probably fully engaged in his team there, and wanted to win the championship. I'm sure he's going through a roller coaster of being a good team guy and going through that, and being excited about that, and all of a sudden losing.
"All that heartbreak there, and then all of a sudden, you turn around and realized, 'I'm a couple of days away from playing my first NHL game,' " Muller added. "You tie it all in, and that's an emotional weekend for anybody."

And Now: From someone thatSubmitted by Doc (not verified) on Mon, 12/01/2008 - 10:42am.
And Now: From someone that traveled by car in Tennessee/North Carolina/South Carolina over this Thanksgiving Holiday, and will never do it again!:
1.Pigeon Forge,Tenn.: Crammed with cars (always). I don't think Dolly was even there either! Her Limo was stuck in traffic too!
2.I-40 East Tenn. to Asheville,NC: Crammed with cars! Tractor Trailers driving side by side blocking cars from passing! Against the law in the mountains :-(
3.I-26 South from Asheville,NC towards Spartanburg,SC: Crammed with cars...no hope and extremely bad roads!!!!
4.I-26 South (Spartanburg towards Columbia,SC): Traffic stopping every 100 feet. Traffic Jams for miles and miles over the horizon!!! Could have played a hand of cards between moving forward!
Conclusion to that after seeing there were no accidents: People would not do the speed limit and caused the Domino Effect from those trying to drive the speed limit. Could see occasionally down the highway BIG GAPS between cars and trucks :-(
13 hours of driving for a normal 8 hour drive proved that people will travel till the cows come home, and then some!!!
460 miles and saw only 2 State Troopers!! :-(
So when I saw on this website these words:
"Holiday travel numbers down"....I don't think so, not by highway anyway.
Shucks...I forgot about my entire vacation time relaxation in our mountain cabin :-(
Good to get back to Wilmington and read about all the car wrecks that happened here while we were away (as per usual).
Bet you the airline pilots/passengers were looking down on the Interstates over the holidays laughing their rear ends off!

Marzipan Pastenes - 4 Piece
This four-piece box contains a divine blend of top-quality marzipan and chocolate. With four different flavors, this is a wonderful way to sample the many different delights of Niederegger Marzipan. Marzipan originated in the Orient and made its way to Europe during the Crusades. Luebeck, a port city on the Baltic Sea in northern Germany, became the capital of marzipan production in Germany. It is now over 200 years, that Niederegger has been producing world-famous marzipan delicacies. The quality of marzipan is judged by the amount of sugar in the product. Niederegger uses 100% marzipan paste, with no added sugar. A secret ingredient similar to rose water is added to the marzipan paste to give the Niederegger marzipan a note of distinction.

No, you're not the OP, and I'm more interested in knowing what the OP sees when he talks about his utopia.
As for terms like "suburb" and "sprawl", it wasn't so long ago that you didn't seem to like any suburbs, now you're saying suburbs are OK and it is sprawl that is bad. I suspect the change may be because the term "suburb" means something different to different people. I see suburbs as nice places, like a collection of little villages/towns that make up a city, because that's what I've experienced. You see suburbs as something different because that's what you've experienced.
That's where using our words can run into difficulties. This is a multicultural forum, and a word can easily have one meaning or interpretation to one person and mean something quite different to another. (As an example, several of us had a brief discussion about the meaning of word "jumper" in another thread) That's why it can be so difficult to define something. That's why I started the thread about where we live, with photos ... to help us understand what each of us is dealing with. A photo can help us see what another person is talking about.
double post - no idea why my posts get doubled sometimes.

See post #53 , except I dislike using the term 'utopia,' because that makes it sound like something radically different from current realities, as if you'd have to tear down entire cities and rebuild instead of retrofitting.
All that is really needed for retrofitting is to begin by providing transit for employment and restricting parking to prevent people from avoiding the transit out of habit. If adequate public transit isn't available, employers can coordinate with others near them to send around shuttles to various areas, school bus style. Of course people are free to cycle. Cycling can even be encouraged by providing tax incentives or even direct payments for people who demonstrate they have driving-age residents in their household without a registered vehicle.
Once people are able to get around without driving, multilane roads can be retrofitted with more treed medians and bike lanes, lower speed limits, etc. Former parking lots can be fast-tracked for rezoning for businesses that make local living easier, such as small apartment buildings in business districts for employees to live in, showering/gym facilities for bike commuters, meals-on-wheels food-truck type vendors so people don't have to drive to restaurants from their workplace for lunch. All this can occur as in-fill IF local automotivists and the business interests that milk widespread automotivism don't viciously attack and oppose sprawl-reduction initiatives as a threat to the status quo of their balance sheets.
Businesses need to accept that some revenues may be lost or shift to other industries as driving takes a back seat to other forms of transportation.
It's not right nor is it sustainable to obstruct sprawl-reduction in that sprawl-growth is not only bad for transit and cycling, it's also bad for driving the worse it gets.
I believe what he dislikes about suburbs is the way they are used as residential areas from which to commute across town to business districts, shopping, and other destinations. He just doesn't appreciate all the crosstown traffic (think Jimi Hendrix), unless I am just projecting my own views in order to agree with him. If suburbs were car-free/sprawl-free, they would probably be pretty decent, pleasant places to live and work, no?As for terms like "suburb" and "sprawl", it wasn't so long ago that you didn't seem to like any suburbs, now you're saying suburbs are OK and it is sprawl that is bad. I suspect the change may be because the term "suburb" means something different to different people. I see suburbs as nice places, like a collection of little villages/towns that make up a city, because that's what I've experienced. You see suburbs as something different because that's what you've experienced.
It's not so much words that cause problems as it is that some people have the inability to understand that words do not have absolute, mutually exclusive meanings. "Suburb" doesn't have a precise definition any more than "urban" does. They are both vague descriptors for a certain tendency of development/planning in an area. It's important to get a handle on how these terms came to make sense as general descriptors and then let go of the assumption that everything can be definitively categorized into mutually exclusive boxes. Words are always vague and incomplete attempts at describing things that can be described more thoroughly with more words. Brevity and conciseness make for better readability, though, so we're always seeking balance between less words and better descriptions and explanations in textual communications.That's where using our words can run into difficulties. This is a multicultural forum, and a word can easily have one meaning or interpretation to one person and mean something quite different to another. (As an example, several of us had a brief discussion about the meaning of word "jumper" in another thread) That's why it can be so difficult to define something.

First of all ... why do you keep posting the same message twice?
And right there is where I turn off. I used to live in a small apartment building, and it was fine for that time, but I have no desire to live in a small apartment building anymore ... or at least not what I think of when I read the words "small apartment building". A lot of people I know have no desire to live in a small apartment building.
I kind of like Roody's prescription of closing urban freeways and surrounding cities with greenbelts, although I think there need to be substantial green corridors through the cities as well. The downside of all this push for densification that I have seen is that the end result is massively increased traffic (a doubling of residents leads to a 1.95 fold increase in auto traffic, at least it did a decade back). Developers will happily meet the demand for more units per acre, but will dig their heels in at giving back those things that can make such dense living tolerable. Without greenspace, people's health, physical and mental, suffers. Cities that keep some greenspace will find the wealthy clustered around it. Those that don't have it will find the wealthy out in the suburbs or taking a lot of trips out to nicer places.
Personally, I much prefer low-density settings. The number of cars follows the number of people, unfortunately, so the fewer domiciles the less traffic I have to deal with as I pedal along. Sure, I'm not typical of Americans (not obese, not disabled, not pre-diabetic), but given a choice of riding sixty miles past one house per five acres or three miles past ten houses per acre, I'd much prefer the former, even though it is clearly sprawl.
And I agree that there should be lots of green spaces, but again this is where one person's "suburb" and another person's "suburb" differ. The suburbs I've lived in have contained lots of green spaces, and most cities I know are surrounded by green space (fields, forests etc. etc.) ... but I gather that this isn't the case for all suburbs.
I agree, I like to have green spaces around me, but that doesn't mean there has to be a sprawl to achieve it. The neighbourhood I live in now is making good progress building centralized residential areas filled with townhouses and apartments, together with green areas. We have a central transit centre right next to a good-sized shopping mall, so people can take the bus to come here for shopping, dining and strolling round. They plan to build greenways all over the city as well. In fact, they now have a stringent process to permit new businesses to have drive-throughs. They aim to encourage more residents to walk and bike rather than drive.
As for cycling preferences... if I want a scenic ride, I will ride out to the suburb. In town, I ride to do grocery shopping, go to work, and run other errands. I want the post office, libraries, supermarkets and other stores to be closer than farther.
It doesn't get any easier, you just get faster. - Greg LeMond
I live in South Florida -- mid-Palm Beach County -- and "sprawl" R us. Sprawl is not suburban in the (once) elegant style of New York's Westchester County (I grew-up in 1950s/60s Scarsdale, NY). Rather, it's a "soulless" -- almost/maybe "cancerous" spread of cheap strip malls, punctuated by fast-food joints, tacky fitness centers, car dealerships, and "gentlemen's clubs". The more major roads are 4- or 6-lanes wide, with posted speed limits of 40-50mph. Very little green-space, other than that of/on traffic medians in the middle of those more major roads. Public transportation is available along major east-west and north-south traffic corridors, but it uniformly runs between 6AM to 8PM, with reduced weekend hours (and none on holidays), and many bus routes only run on the hour or half-hour. Few bus shelters, given the sun, heat, rain, and winds. Feeder routes to/from those major traffic corridors run hourly, only, and not at all on weekends. Some major roads have bike lanes -- anywhere from 2-3feet in width -- many have no markings; some bike lanes stop or start as municipal boundaries are reached. I can ride 25 miles to the north, and 75 miles to the south, without a gap in the sprawl. It is soulless, and it is malignant. There is no aesthetic to it, whatsoever. Toadstools after a rain exhibit more innate, natural harmony, that the allegedly planned sub/ex/urban sprawl of South Florida. OTOH, I do find it enjoyable to ride on the road, for exercise.
"Think Outside the Cage"
No, because there is no one single definition of a suburb. A suburb could be any number of things. When each of us here thinks about "suburb", we've probably each got a different image in mind.
That's why I suggested posting photos, sketches, or something to show us what you, personally, mean when you say words like "suburb" and "sprawl".
And incidentally, the first image that springs to my mind when I think of "sprawl" as it relates to the development of cities, towns, regions, etc., are beautiful acreages with large comfortable houses and maybe a horse, goat, or some chickens, a big garden, possibly a small grove of fruit trees. But I suspect that you see a different image when you think of "sprawl" since you refer to it as "ugly".
Are you willing to pay the extra that it costs to live out there? Like when it costs more to build out the electric service, water and sewage lines, and above all the roads? Who pays to plow that 60 mile road all winter and patch up the potholes? I bet that I pay as much as you do, since our county/state tax rates are the same wherever you live. Who pays to fix the electric and phone wires when they go down in a storm. Again, I pay as much as you, because our rates for utilities are the same whether we live in the city or the exurbs. I won't even get into the sewage problems, or who pays for the extra pollution when some people are driving 60 miles to pick up a few groceries.
"Think Outside the Cage"
Terminology aside, I like it wherever things are located close enough for biking, if not walking, and they have good public transit connecting various parts of the area together. I haven't found any "suburb" that meets those requirements around Seattle, but like I said earlier, suburbs around Tokyo are a lot more like that.
It doesn't get any easier, you just get faster. - Greg LeMond
Words do have definitions. Here is a basic descriptive definition of suburb that we can use until somebody comes up with a different one:
Suburbs in America have a prevalence of usually detached[22] single-family homes.[23]
They are characterized by:
- Lower densities than central cities, dominated by single-family homes on small plots of land anywhere from 0.1 acres[24] and up surrounded at close quarters by very similar dwellings.
- Zoning patterns that separate residential and commercial development, as well as different intensities and densities of development. Daily needs are not within walking distance of most homes.
- Subdivisions carved from previously rural land into multiple-home developments built by a single real estate company. These subdivisions are often segregated by minute differences in home value, creating entire communities where family incomes and demographics are almost completely homogeneous.[citation needed].
- Shopping malls and strip malls behind large parking lots instead of a classic downtown shopping district.
- A road network designed to conform to a hierarchy, including culs-de-sac, leading to larger residential streets, in turn leading to large collector roads, in place of the grid pattern common to most central cities and pre-World War II suburbs.
- A greater percentage of one-story administrative buildings than in urban areas.
- A greater percentage of whites and lesser percentage of citizens of other ethnic groups than in urban areas. Black suburbanization grew between 1970 and 1980 by 2.6% as a result of central city neighborhoods expanding into older neighborhoods vacated by whites.[25][26][27]
Compared to rural areas, suburbs usually have greater population density, higher standards of living, more complex road systems, more franchised stores and restaurants, and less farmland and wildlife.
Suburb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
You're welcome!
"Think Outside the Cage"
I've already defined suburb, based on the suburbs I've experienced.
A suburb has many of the elements of a small town or village in that it contains residential, shopping, business, schools and leisure. Sometimes it is attached to other small towns or villages to form a city, other times it is off by itself somewhere. Neighbourhood or locality are related terms.
Australian suburbs: Suburbs and localities (Australia) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canadian suburbs: Suburb - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ... scroll down to where it says ...
"Compared to the United States, Canadian suburbs are considerably more dense, and land use patterns are often more mixed-use. There are often high- or mid-rise developments interspersed with low-rise housing tracts. The concept of the McMansion, prevalent in the USA, is not common in Canadian suburbs. In Canada, densities are generally slightly higher than in Australia, but below typical European values. Often, Canadian suburbs are less automobile-centred and transit use is more prevalent."
You see ... this is a multicultural forum. A word can easily have one meaning or interpretation to one person and mean something quite different to another. That's why it can be so difficult to define something ... and it is really not necessary to come up with one single definition for something.
However, if you use a term and you want to help us understand the picture that appears in your head when you use that term, it can be helpful for us if you illustrate your term.
As far as suburbs go, I like the Australian and Canadian suburbs I have experienced. I have no desire to see them removed or changed. They are quite convenient, comfortable places to live.
This is very distracting. Its difficult to have an interesting discussion when one party can't agree on the definition of basic English words.
Anyway, some people in the government think that sprawl is becoming a problem in Australia:
Cookies must be enabled. | The Australian
"Think Outside the Cage"
Not distracting at all ... it is simply a part of the global economy, multicultural society we're all a part of now.
As I mentioned earlier, the term "jumper" is a classic example.
And that is why I suggested that if YOU use terms like "suburb" or "sprawl", YOU provide a photo or sketch of what YOU are talking about. I'm not asking for a single definitive definition of the term ... there is no such thing. I'm simply asking for YOUR own personal definition of what YOU are talking about ... because, as I said earlier, when you say "suburb" or "sprawl" or "jumper", different ones of us will have different pictures of those terms in our minds.
BTW - as an aside, you're a psychologist or something aren't you? If so, then I presume you are aware of the different learning styles?

Quality In-Dash Flip-Up Written By tower, Houston, TX on Friday, November 21, 2008 Excellent flip-up unit for those wanting to enjoy the benefits of DVD and touchscreen in dash. Far more reliable than the off-brand flip-ups, but also a much higher price tag. In-depth audio options (something most DVD-based radios tend to lack), 12-band EQ, HPF/LPF, USB support etc. My only complaint would be the lack of a remote and only 4ch preouts as opposed to 6ch on most of their CD models, which makes it a little more complicated to connect amps for both highs and lows.
AVH-P5000DVD Written By Jay, Birmingham, AL on Wednesday, April 16, 2008 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Move! I swap out a in-dash unit for the Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD. The sound quality is very different for the best. The picture is more clearer & detail. The two things that I wish radio had to make it a perfect unit for me is a wirless remote & display screen for it you choose to close screen while unit is playing. The unit has a lot of features and I'm still learning about my new unit.

More than HK$9.6 million held in company bank accounts was targeted in a sophisticated e-mail scam that tricked 13 people into revealing the code generated by personal security devices banks issue for customers to conduct transactions online, police say.
Thursday, 9 May, 2013, 5:45amHongkongers have been urged to remain alert for signs of a computer virus that blocks web access, although local authorities had only one report of an infection yesterday.
10 Jul 2012 - 12:00amOnline activity is a major part of our daily lives. Rarely a day passes when we don't either send or receive information through cyberspace. That means criminals have many ways to get what they want. And what they want is information - personal information that, at times, you take for granted as being safe.
21 Nov 2011 - 12:00amA host of nasty internet threats await unwary Android smartphone users when they update their applications, a computer security firm warned at a briefing yesterday.
10 Nov 2011 - 12:00amHong Kong was the world's second biggest target for e-mail cyberattacks last month, a new report says.
One in every 180 e-mails that landed in the city's inboxes last month carried malware, which refers to malicious code in the form of a virus, trojan or worm, said the study by the United States-based internet security firm Symantec.
6 Nov 2011 - 12:00amKeeping pace with the need for advanced internet security technology to combat threats from hackers and malware intrusions is a demanding task, but a plethora of software is available.
Hong Kong websites and internet systems are bombarded with thousands of potentially damaging attacks on a daily basis.
5 Sep 2011 - 12:00amThe popularity of apps on smartphones has made them an effective target for the spreading of computer viruses, the city's leading online safety watchdog has warned.
More than 2,000 items of malware, or malicious software, are known to have targeted smartphones in Hong Kong, says Roy Ko Wai-Tak, manager of the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team.
5 Sep 2011 - 12:00amA computer security watchdog warned consumers yesterday to be on alert for a large-scale malicious attack that compromised 2,000 online shopping websites in Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Co-ordination Centre said that in the last week or so more than 90,000 websites had been infected globally, with more than 2,000 of them local sites.
5 Aug 2011 - 12:00amManaged security services provider Network Box is looking to parlay its triumph at this year's Hong Kong Awards for Industries into further expansion of its domestic and international business.
'We certainly hope so,' said Michael Gazeley, the co-founder and managing director of Network Box. 'We are obviously working hard.'
18 Jul 2011 - 12:00amFor business centre users wondering how the security of their e-mail systems and antispam software can be taken better care of, the answer seems to be in the clouds.
13 Dec 2010 - 12:00amViruses infiltrate by stealth, infect, multiply and then hitch a ride on to the next host.
Worms arrive as an infection also, but can slither along independently to the next place of mayhem.
And Trojan horses lull you into believing that they are either a beneficial service or the solution to a problem that will not exist unless you welcome them in.
22 Nov 2010 - 12:00amMelissa, Anna Kournikova, ILOVEYOU, MyDoom, Happy99, Sadmind, Code Red, Nimda, Blaster, Sobig, Koobface, Bohmini, Conficker, Zlob - the list goes on.
25 Oct 2010 - 12:00amMalicious software that can turn computers against society sounds like a scenario for a new James Bond movie. Who better to track down the fiendish mind behind it and foil plans for extortion and domination? Worryingly for the world, reality is catching up with fantasy. But there are faceless, but real, people - specialised cybersleuths - who are trying to keep us safe.
29 Sep 2010 - 12:00amInternet users could have their banking and e-mail passwords stolen after they visit websites that appear to be perfectly normal but whose coding has been altered.
In the first half of this year, the Hong Kong Computer Emergency Response Team Coordination Centre reported it had detected 65 cases of malicious codes injected into websites, up 150 per cent over last year .
15 Jul 2010 - 12:00amIt all starts off innocently. An office worker clicks open the inbox and sees an e-mail purporting to be from a friend, or a familiar address such as a social networking site.
The link is opened and a torrent of digital trouble is unleashed in the form of worms, viruses, malware and other programs that can take over a computer network.

NCAA Football Preview - Cincinnati Bearcats
Share This Story
From The Sports Network By Ralph Lauro, College Football Staff Writer 2003 SEASON IN REVIEW: After finishing either first or second in the Conference USA standings three years straight, the Bearcats fell off in a big way in 2003. The club went just 2-5 in league play and an equally disappointing 5-7 overall. The season started on a high note, as the club won its first three games. However, the 'Cats followed up their three straight wins with three consecutive setbacks, including a narrow 22-20 defeated to C- USA champions Southern Mississippi. The club was able to rebound from its losing streak with wins in two of its next three games, but those victories came against a dismal Army squad (33-29) and a Division I-AA club in Rhode Island (31-24). With just three games remaining the squad still had a shot at becoming bowl eligible, but losses in each put an end to that. Although the team finished under .500 things could have been different if not for several late collapses. Of UC's seven losses, five came by a touchdown or less. Still, the Bearcats decided they needed a change and they did so with the hiring of new head coach Mark Dantonio, who was defensive coordinator at Ohio State the past three years. Dantonio helped the Buckeyes to the 2002 the National Championship and brings with him an entirely new coaching staff, which will hopefully help generate some new energy in the Queen City. 2004 ANALYSIS: OFFENSE: The Bearcats boasted a respectable offense in 2003, ranking 44th in total offense with an average of 393.4 ypg. As has been the case for the last three years, Cincinnati's offense will be in the hands of Gino Guidugli. The talented play-caller is already the school's career passing leader and has led the team for eight fourth-quarter comeback victories during his tenure. Last season, Guidugli threw for 2,704 yards with 14 touchdowns against 10 interceptions. Guidugli should have even more success this season with a solid returning receiving corps. George Murray II tallied 30 catches for 270 yards a year ago, while Derick Ross, who recorded a team-high 483 yards receiving, will battle Cedric Dawley for the other starting wideout spot. Richard Hall will head a talented and deep corps of running backs this year. Hall, who excels in all aspects of the game, rushed for 777 yards and eight touchdowns in just 10 games last year, some in which he was limited by injuries. Opening the holes for Hall will be an offensive line that returns four starters. Last year, the Bearcats averaged a solid 165.0 ypg on the ground and with just the center position to be filled this year they should do even better. DEFENSE: In 2003, the Bearcats were among the best defensive teams in the nation as they ranked 27th in total yards allowed per game (333.0). The club was particularly impressive against the pass, permitting just 188.6 ypg. This year's club should be even better with eight starters returning to the fold. All-C-USA ends Trent Cole and Andre Frazier give the Bearcats a strong defensive line. Cole led the team in TFLs and was second in total tackles in '03, while Frazier paced the club with six sacks. While the line is certainly strong, the real strength of the unit comes from the linebacker spots. Three seniors in Jamar Enzor, Tyjuan Hagler and Jason Russell all return with at least one season of full-time starting experience under their belts. Enzor, who was the MVP of last year's team and an All-C-USA selection, anchors the unit from the middle linebacker spot. He led the team in tackles (137) last season, including an average of 14.4 tackles per game over his last five contests. Hagler ranked among the top three in tackling, sacks and TFLs last season, while Russell has the best cover sills of any linebacker on the team. As for the secondary, it is considered the weak point of the defense with only two of four starters returning. Doug Monaghan, a three-year starter at strong safety, heads the secondary with his great football intelligence. He always finds a way to get involved in the play as evidenced by his 259 career tackles. Daven Holly is set to cover opposing team's top wide receiver, as he led the club with six interceptions a year ago. SPECIAL TEAMS: Chet Ervin handled both the punting and long distance placekicking duties for the Bearcats last season and is expected to do the same this year. Ervin averaged 38.9 yards per punt last season, but could be replaced by juco transfer Brian Steel so that he could concentrate strictly on placekicking duties. Carl Jones, the C-USA punt return leader in '03, is expected to be this year's return man once again. OUTLOOK: The Bearcat could be a sleeper in C-USA with a slew of returning talent and a new coach. The club is led by one of the top quarterbacks in the league in Guidugli, who should have another productive year in Dantonio's offense. The Bearcat defense, once again, should rank among the best in C-USA which will help make the difference in close games. Cincinnati had a knack for losing nailbiters last season with five losses coming by seven points or less. Dantonio comes from an Ohio State program which had a knack for winning and his poise on the sideline should give Cincinnati what it needs to become a winner again.

TD-Complete Submission
What to expect when you're expecting (an acceptance letter)
4.12 / 5.00 4,581 ViewsI'll appologize right here and now - there isn't a very entertaining preloader...me and programming never really got along. But give it like a minute or whatever and you should be good to go.
This is a music video for the song 'Cigarette' by Ben Folds Five. It's been a while in the making, having survived through graduation, hard drive crashes, and even *.fla file corruptions. I'd strongly recommend that even users with very fast computers turn the quality down to MEDIUM (right click on the screen and go to quality) - because the whole thing is layered with large PNGs and JPGs that make it run a little laggy on older machines.
But enough from me - enjoy!
Wow! Front page and Daily 1st?? Thanks NG!!! And thank you to everyone who wrote reviews - I really appreciate the feedback.
2005 wow this is old now but I still remember it, this was a really good piece. Awesome work, the animation is amazing and totally suits the tempo of the music.
but awsome its slow make it a little bit faster i will give it a 5.4
The art is very smooth it falls perfectly into line with the song, it's very touching, you did an awesome job.

Representing some of the finest mirrorless system cameras on the market, Sony's NEX series is defined by thin bodies, oversized mounts, and a... "growing" lens selection. Earlier this year, the company decided to complicate their lineup with a few new options, including the NEX-6 and, today's review, the NEX-5R, which replaces the 5N as the "value" model.
While the 5R isn't equipped with some of the features found on more expensive NEX cameras, like a viewfinder or dual command dials, the most important feature has been carried over. No, we're not talking about the 5R's new installable apps, but rather image quality.
The Sony Alpha NEX-5R is available in black, silver, or white, and sold body-only for $650, or bundled with the 18-55mm kit lens for $750.

Rangel has been dogged by long-simmering ethics investigations and charges that he violated house rules. GOP House members have vowed to bring a resolution to the floor calling for the Harlem Democrat's removal as chairman. When CBC member Arthur Davis and 13 other Democratic representatives called on Rangel to step aside earlier today, leadership no doudt feared that additional defections in this election year could push the resolution over the top.
