Is it true that the government spent over $100 million of sales tax money for just a couple of miles of freeway ramps? What a boondoggle. Think of the important projects that were cancelled because of our over-dependence on cars. That amount of money could have gone a long way towards fixing local public education or public transit or health care.

"Is it true...?"
Dunno. Is it?
Let us know what you find out.

Don't even start. Look up the price tag on the pedestrian bridge. We could have funded a private limo service for every student needing to cross the freeway for 20 years for what that bridge cost or, less sarcastically, we could have improved pedestrian & bicycle crossings at willow and marsh - two direct pathways to Facebook commuters etc. Instead we have a huge concrete eyesoar dumping right into people's back yard only used by a handful. What a waste.

How did we go from new lanes on 101 to a pedestrian bridge? The $100 million figure for the lanes was bogus, wasn't it? QUICK! Change the subject!

The Embarcadero to Highway 85 section is slated to cost 72M$

The cost of the Marsh to Embarcadero leg is about 18M$

Oops, I missed a piece. My Marsh to Embarcadero leg number, 18M$, was really only for the Sam Mateo county leg -from Marsh to University. The University to Embarcadero leg was another 8M$
Web Link
72M$(Embarcadero/85)+18M$ (Marsh/University) +8M$ (University/Embarcadero) = 98M$
"Waste of money" was pretty much on the mark in my mind - 100M$ for 3.2 miles is a lot for auxillary lanes that don't traverse the exits.
Even though I drive on that stretch of 101 for work every day, I think 100M$ spent on Caltrain would be a much better use of $$.

Well I can tell you there is a remarkable improvement in traffic during my morning commute across that section. Extending it all the way down to 85 would be great and likely alleviate the main chokepoints on 101 southbound.
Now if we could get evening commute metering lights on the 280 northbound on-ramps at Sand Hill and Alpine and Page Mill the mid-peninsula would be more tolerable!

San Jose Mercury News
In what would be the most significant water law passed in California in nearly 50 years, lawmakers in Sacramento are working with Gov. Jerry Brown on a landmark measure to regulate groundwater pumping for the first time.
With an Aug. 31 deadline until the end of the session and billions of dollars at stake, negotiations among farmers, environmentalists, cities and elected officials are reaching a crescendo.
Although landowners who want to divert water from reservoirs and rivers have been required to get a permit from the state since 1914, farmers and cities who tap underground aquifers -- California's largest water source -- can pump as much as they want, when they want and with almost no oversight or limits.
As a result, decades of intense pumping have dropped water tables dangerously low in places such as the San Joaquin Valley and Paso Robles. Scientific studies show the ground is sinking in many hard-hit areas and that aquifers are at risk of running dry.
"It's like a shared bank account. But nobody ever has to balance the checkbook," said Lester Snow, former director of the state Department of Water Resources. "We have based a large part of our economy on deficit spending of groundwater. It has to come to an end."
California uses more groundwater than any state, relying on it for 40 percent of its total water supply in most years and 60 percent in dry years. Yet it is only state in the West without rules to ensure it doesn't run out.
Snow and other reformers are supporting a bill by state Sen. Fran Pavley, D-Agoura Hills, that would require local government officials, probably counties in most cases, to bring their groundwater basins up to sustainable levels.
If the bill passes, the local agencies would be required to regularly measure water tables and set numerical goals so that only as much water is taken out as is naturally replenished.
Each county could use a wide variety of tools, including setting up programs to recharge aquifers by putting more water in the ground, and requiring farmers -- some of whom don't have meters on their wells -- to carefully measure and report how much they pump, and maybe pump less.
If local governments didn't set up oversight systems or failed to show progress, state officials could step in and write and enforce the local rules.
"Groundwater is a critical source of water for families, farms and businesses across the state," Pavley said. "And if we want it to be available in the future it needs to be managed sustainably."
The governor has made Pavley's legislation a top priority. But her bill, SB1168, is drawing opposition from the state's main farm organization.
"At some point in time there has to be some accountability, and we have to get a handle on how much we are pumping," said Paul Wenger, president of the California Farm Bureau Federation.
"But this is bad legislation and we oppose it. We're afraid that if it passes, the unintended consequences are going to be huge. The financial impacts are going to be huge."
Wenger, a third-generation farmer who grows almonds and walnuts on 450 acres on the outskirts of Modesto, said he's worried that the bill is so broadly written that it would allow state regulators to come in and limit the amount of water farmers can pump from wells.
In dry times like the current three-year drought, when rain and snow aren't available and reservoir levels are low, groundwater is vital, he said. One well on his farm is keeping his orchards alive during the drought, Wenger said.
"We're doing everything we can. We're stretching out our water -- we are just getting by," he said. "But if we didn't have access to groundwater, our trees would drop their leaves and slowly die."
Wenger says the Legislature should delay the law until next year for more study.
"We are talking about one of the most critical bills this Legislature will have seen for many years and we've got a month to work through it?" he said. "We feel like we're getting rolled here."
But supporters, including the powerful Association of California Water Agencies, which represents 440 water districts in the state, say action is already long overdue.
The Central Valley -- from Redding to Bakersfield -- is consuming twice as much groundwater as nature is returning through rain and snow, studies from the University of California and the U.S. Geological Survey have found.
Overall, California pumps out about 2 million acre-feet a year more than is replenished, according to state estimates. That's enough water for 10 million people a year. The cumulative overdraft over the past 70 years is enough to fill Lake Tahoe, Snow said.
Both sides agree that Pavley's bill would be the most significant new water law in California since 1969, when then-Gov. Ronald Reagan signed the Porter-Cologne Act, which gave the government broad powers to crack down on water pollution. That legislation became a model for the federal Clean Water Act.
As negotiations continue, across the Central Valley well drillers are working seven days a week. Farmers are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to drill ever-deeper wells. Like an arms race, one deep well can draw water away from other shallow wells, eventually causing them to go dry.
"It's not only burning your furniture for firewood, it's burning your neighbor's furniture as well," said Jennifer Clary, a program manager with the environmental group Clean Water Action.
"There is always a property rights issue, but if you overpump your property you are overpumping from your neighbor's property, too."
One model is Santa Clara County.
Since 1964, Santa Clara County has had a "pump tax" in place to charge a fee on well owners. Because of farming and population growth, the water table fell 175 feet from 1915 to 1965. Since then, after years of the Santa Clara Valley Water District putting water back underground in wet years, the water table has returned to where it was a century ago. Pavley's bill would allow, if not encourage, other local governments to charge similar fees to fund groundwater programs.
The measure would affect 127 groundwater basins identified as "high" or "medium" priority by the State Department of Water Resources. Those basins, located in Southern California, the Central Valley and parts of the Bay Area, are ranked by the number of people whose drinking water they supply, the number of acres they irrigate and their overall conditions. Local governments would have until 2020 to write plans and then 2040 to bring their basins back to health.
Environmental groups support the reforms, which are mirrored in an Assembly bill, but worry they will be weakened in backroom dealing this month. In particular, they are concerned that the bill doesn't require that well logs, which show the location and other details of wells, be made public, even though other states, such as Texas, require that. They also worry that local agencies will be given too long to impose rules that actually limit pumping in areas where water tables are collapsing.
"If the locals could manage groundwater without help," Clary said, "then we wouldn't need the bill."

BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) Greg Gantt finished with 29 points, and Stefan Moody came off the bench to score 22 as Florida Atlantic beat Arkansas State 72-65 Saturday night in a Sun Belt Conference showdown.
Trailing 32-31 at halftime, FAU (3-4, 1-1) opened the second half on a 19-7 run to take a 50-39 lead. The run was spurred by three 3s, one from Jackson Trapp and two from Gantt.
Arkansas State (4-3, 0-2) fought back taking the lead 57-56 on Brandon Peterson's layup with 6:17 left to play, but Gantt answered, scoring eight straight points for the Owls, giving them the 64-59 advantage with under three minutes to play.
The Red Wolves would get within three, 66-63 with 38 seconds left, but FAU connected on its last eight free throws to seal the victory.
With the win Mike Jarvis passed Sidney Green for the most wins at FAU in the Division I era.

My parents arrived on Friday. My Dad, computer geek that he is, called Dell Support shortly after he found out my computer was not working, due to the storm on Wednesday. After 2.5 hours of conversation with the Tech's he was able to get the computer up and running.
Yesterday the printer stopped working. After 2 more hours of conversation with the Dell Tech's...it still isn't working!
On the running front, not much to report.
I and Topaz hit the trail for 10 miles yesterday, then watched Troy's football game where they won; did some shopping with Mom and sister.
Today, 15 miles on the trail with Topaz and will shortly be going over to the Sis's house for a Mom Birthday Dinner.
Oh..this morning..I was emptying the dishwasher when all of a sudden a BIRD flew past me. IN THE KITCHEN. I have an irrational fear of birds. I yelled to Steve, then ran out to the deck, off of the kitchen and peered into the French door to watch.
Toffee, our Ragdoll cat, hunter he is not, actually caught the bird, wounded it and ran upstairs with it; placing in UNDER MY PILLOW! I was still outside. Steve put on some gloves, grabbed a shovel and came back with the dead bird.
This is a picture of Toffee. Our large Ragdoll.
That's all folks :)

I had posted my property for sale in all conventional means like prints media etc and did not get any response from last 8 months. My property was in Changanacherry, Kottayam, Kerala but I stay in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh. Therefore, it was very difficult for me to get in touch with genuine buyers.
I found that hello address.com was on top in the google search. It is a very user friendly site. I registered myself on helloaddress.com and the miracle happened. I was able to find a genuine customer within a week's time. Last week the deal completed and I sold out the property in the expected price.
The service is commendable and more than expected. Kindly keep it up & all the best. Thanks.

I advertised my property, 108 cents of Residential Land in Cherthala in helloaddress.com on October 2nd 2015, as a featured property for one month. Before my package got expired I got many enquires and found the right buyer for my property too.
I am very much satisfied by the service. Thanks to helloaddress.com for the excellent service and for quick response I got. kalavishnu kk
I am very happy with the service from helloaddress.com. I found a very good tenant for my house which I had posted on helloaddress for rent. Thank you for your service. I shall surely recommend helloaddress to anyone who is looking for a property. P C Thomas

Toxic friends.
The very phrase sends shivers of the Sads down my back because I've been on the receiving end of enough toxic friendships to last a lifetime. These friendships never start out as bad for us, but over time, it becomes apparent that that's exactly what they are. Luckily, I've learned a little about the whole phenomenon along the way.
Here are some warning signs that one of your friendships has turned toxic. And not in the Britney Spears song kind of way.
1) She gives compliments that are actually - when you stop and think about it - insults.
2) She makes jokes around other people - often ones that are humiliating and embarrassing at your expense. If you dare look sad or angry, she laughs and says things like, "Well, it's true!" or "I was only joking."
3) Whenever things don't go her way, or if you've dared to say "no" to her, she'll stop talking to you until you acquiesce to her demands or desires.
4) You realize that you've begun to dread hearing from her via email, phone, or text, and will go to great lengths to avoid her, even if you can't pinpoint why.
5) You know she's talking trash about you - but if you confront her, she'll deny it or shift the blame onto you. "Well, if you weren't so..."
6) She's got a lot of time to moan about her problems, but should you dare bring up your own, it'll be met with a brush-off like, "At least... (insert statement like, "you're not on fire.")
7) You realize how many eggshells you have to tiptoe around simply to make sure she's not "angry" with you or your behavior.
8) She manipulates you. If you aren't able to make it out for a party because your kid is home sick or something, she'll reward you with a whopping guilt trip or refuse to speak to you at all.
9) She never follows through. She's promised to help you move, be your "shoulder to cry on," and be the one who will be your surrogate boyfriend while you're single, and when you actually need her, you don't bother trying to get a hold of her - she won't be there and you know it.
10) She's not afraid to hit on any guy you dig. Doesn't matter how many times you've told her you like the dude, she's all over him whenever you're around.
11) Her emotional maintenance makes the amount of time you put into your resume look like child's play. You have to cater to her emotions and plan for her reactions like it's your job. (Hint: it's totally not your job).
12) You realize that every time you talk about her, you have to defend her to the rest of your friends (and partner). Her bitch face may actually be her real face.
13) She's so self-absorbed that she thinks you should drop everything you're doing the moment she "needs" you for such crises as "I gained 2 pounds," or "So-and-so unfriended me on Facebook."
14) She's so competitive you've learned not to bother talking about your accomplishments. If you got a cell phone, she's got the latest smart phone. If you have a boyfriend, hers bought her an engagement ring.
15) She talks crap about everyone she's ever met, and can do so for hours. Doesn't matter one way or another whether it's true. Just don't be shocked when you find out she's doing it to you, too.
What are some other signs you have a toxic friend? Have you experienced a toxic friendship? How'd you end it?

The UK's capital city is one of the most famous in the world. It's unique and rich history that helps to make tourism a massive part of its economy. The city's business heart, known as 'The Square Mile' and 'The City', is arguably the most influential of all the world's financial centres. Thus, business travellers are constantly flooding there. Many find using our serviced apartments in London a great way to make the most of their stay.
Several airports operate in London. The two largest of which, Heathrow and Gatwick, move over 100 million passengers a year between them. London is a large city with many distinct districts. And we at SITU are proud to be able to offer serviced apartments all over the English capital; placing you right where you need to be. Whether it's the prestigious Kensington area - close to the Natural History Museum and the Royal Albert Hall; or Mayfair - home to embassies and convenient for the shoppers' paradise that is Oxford Street and the wide-open expanse of Hyde Park; or even among the shining corporate towers of Canary Wharf, we can put you where you need to be.
London is one of the most diverse cities in the world. Around 230 languages are spoken in London and it has a great wealth of diverse cultures and communities. As a result, this city is a world of its own, opening its heart and gates to the whole planet and becoming a multicultural melting pot along the way.
It is impossible not to feel excited when you arrive in this city. London's identity is so strong that most of its tourist attractions are almost cliches. Yet everyone still wants their picture taken next to a Beefeater or with Big Ben in the background; or to hail a black cab to get them around the city.
London is a centre for history and culture, with some of the world's best public museums and greatest collections of art. Furthermore, it has stunning architecture, a rich history. It gave the world its first metro system, the London Underground having first opened in 1863. Other great inventions that originated in London include the nuclear chain reaction, the powered vacuum cleaner, the microphone and the cash machine. London resident Ada Lovelace created the world's first computer program all the way back in 1843. London introduced the world to its first traffic lights and also penicillin was discovered in the city, as well.
The list of things to see in London is too vast to easily list here, so make sure you check detailed guides about each area of London here on the SITU website.

Computertomographic evaluation of talar edge configuration for osteochondral plug transplantation
Suche in Medline nach
|18. Oktober 2011
Questionnaire: One of the current research topics is the aim to produce tissue engineered osteochondral grafts for future treatment of osteochondral lesions (OCL) of the talus. For the exact anatomic reconstruction, the dimensions of the medial and lateral talar dome must be considered. Sparse data is available regarding the normal anatomic talar dimensions on standard radiographs of ankle joints [1], [2]. The purpose of this study was to describe normal anatomy of different sections of the talar dome on 3D
reconstructions of computertomographic (CT) images.
Methods: CT data sets (Somatom 10, Siemens Erlangen, Germany) of 82 patients (86 ankles) (28 female, 54 male; average age 41.9y (range 15-76y)) without talar pathologies were included.
Measurements were performed with a geometry analysis software (VGStudio MAX 2.0, Volume Graphics, Heidelberg, Germany). To assure measurement reproducibility, the reference planes were defined in a first step. To measure the frontal talar edge radius , circles were fitted into the medial and lateral talar edge on frontal planes. To allow measurement of different segments of the talus, the frontal plane was tilted through the center of the talus (defined as a circle fitted to the talus on sagittal view) at 15° and 30° anteriorly and posteriorly. To measure the sagittal radius of the medial and talar edge, ircles were fitted into the medial and lateral talar edge on sagittal planes.
Results and Conclusions: The talar edge radius in the frontal plane at 0° wa s 4.9 mm medially (3.0 mm laterally), at 15° ant. 4.2 mm (3.1 mm), at 30° ant. 4.6 mm (3.1 mm), at 15° post. 4.5 mm (3.9 mm), and at 30° post 4.1 mm (6 mm). There was a significant difference (p< 0.01) between the mean medial and lateral talar edge radius at all angles. The talar edge radius in the sagittal plane was 20.4 mm medially and 20.3 laterally. There was no significant difference between the mean medial and lateral sagittal.
This study shows a significant difference between physiological medial and lateral edge configuration at different frontal planes of the talar dome. No difference was found comparing the sagittal radius of the medial and talar dome. The assessed data provides important aid for engineering of pre-formed, pre-sized osteochondral grafts. Such pre-shaped grafts could help restoring the physiological joint surface by matching exactly into the lesion and consequently achieving the recovery of the physiological joint biomechanics and prevention of secondary degenerative disease.

In a previous post, I showed how to edit a variable length list using MvcContrib.FluentHtml. The post was inspired by a post on the same topic by Steve Sanderson. Steve commented on my post pointing out some limitations. To address these limitations required some enhancements to MvcContrib.FluentHtml and some changes to my example. So here we go with take 2.
MvcContrib.FluentHtml Enhancements
The limitations were mostly related to handling validation. To support validation using Model State we have added to MvcContrib.FluentHtml:
- Html Prefix Support
- A Validation Helper
- List Indexing Support
Html Prefix Support
HTML elements generated for strongly typed views have no prefix by default. So elements for ModelViewPage<Person> might look something like this:
<input name="FirstName" id="FirstName" value="Jim" type="text"/> <input name="LastName" id="LastName" value="Smith" type="text"/>
The problem is, neither MvcContrib's NameValueSerializer nor MS MVC's default model binder fully handle this scenario. While NameValueDeserializer does the binding just fine, it does not place bind errors into ModelState. The default model binder does not handle quite handle the binding — it does not deserialize enumerable properties when no prefix is used.
To bind everything correctly and get any errors into ModelState we need a prefix. One way to handle this is to wrap our primary model in a view model. This is a valid pattern. It's even a standard for some applications. However, we don't want to have to do this just to get a prefix. So we provide a way to specify a prefix for a strongly typed view.
Either in the code-behind:
public class Index : ModelViewPage<IList<Gift>> { public Index() : base("person") { } }
Or in the view:
<%this.HtmlNamePrefix = "person"%>
Thus our HTML elements will be prefixed:
<input name="person.FirstName" id="person_FirstName" value="Jim" type="text"/> <input name="person.LastName" id="person_LastName" value="Smith" type="text"/>
Then in our action method, we can use the default binder without any attribute. Any bind errors will be captured in ModelState.
public ViewResult Index(Person person)
New Validation Helper
We have added validation support to FluentHtml for strongly typed views. The following works basically the same as HtmlHelper's ValidationMessage.
<%this.ValidationMessage(x => x.Price, "Price must be numeric.")%>
We have also added a behavior to ModelViewPage<T>, ModelViewMasterPage<T> and ModelViewUserControl<T> which basically mimics validation used by HtmlHelper. That is, it adds a CSS class "input-validation-error" to any HTML element with an error in ModelState. If you wish, you can remove this behavior or change the CSS class name in the derived class.
List Indexing Support
MS MVC uses a special technique to deserialize enumerable properties. With this technique you set an arbitrary value in a specially named hidden element to signify that a group of elements belongs to a particular instance of the enumerable property. This has an advantage over using positional indexes in that it preserves the identity of an instance across posts, which is necessary for ModelState based validation to work properly.
Therefore, we have added support for this to MvcContrib.FluentHtml. Let's assume ModelViewPage<IList<Person>> with a prefix of "persons". Then this markup:
<%var id = Model[i].Id;%> <%=this.Index(x => x).Value(id)%> <%=this.TextBox(x => x[id].FirstName).Value(Model[i].FirstName)%>
Will generate HTML like this:
<input id="persons_Index_123" name="persons.Index" value="123" type="hidden"/> <input id="persons[123]_FirstName" name="persons[123].FirstName" value="Jim" type="text"/>
Changes To Our Example
So based on these changes to FluentHtml we made a few changes to the "Gift Request Form" demo from the previous post. In the main view:
<%for (var i = 0; i < ViewData.Model.Count; i++) {%> <%ViewData["index"] = i; Html.RenderPartial("GiftLineItem");%> <%}%>
And in the user control:
<%var i = (int)ViewData["index"]; var gift = ViewModel == null ? null : ViewModel[i]; var id = gift == null ? -1 * new Random().Next() : gift.Id; var name = gift == null ? null : gift.Name; var price = gift == null ? (decimal?)null : gift.Price;%>
 <%=this.Index(x => x, x => x[i].Id)%> <%=this.Hidden(x => x[id].Id).Value(id)%> <%=this.TextBox(x => x[id].Name).Value(name).Label("Name of gift:")%> <%=this.TextBox(x => x[id].Price).Value(price).Label("Price ($):")%> <%=this.ValidationMessage(x => x[id].Price, "Must be a number")%> Delete

Viola, validation works:
Note that we stole Steve's technique of using random negative Ids for unsaved instances, which we will handle in the save method on the server.

- Description
The Ibanez SR300EB is a fantastic bass for those who demand a solidly constructed instrument that plays like a dream, and provides a robust yet highly versatile tonal output. Ibanez have been wowing musicians around the world since 1987 with the SR basses, and this model carries on that tradition in style.
Lightweight body
The SR300EB body is built using solid mahogany, a lightweight tonewood that shares similar tonal characteristics to the more expensive mahogany. Mahogany delivers a wide-ranging tonal output, with a low to midrange rumble served with smooth high-end shimmer. The lightweight nature of mahogany makes it much easier to wield for longer amounts of time, perfect for those who're developing their technical abilities and great for gigging musicians who want an easy to play bass.
Smooth and comfortable neck
Ibanez neck profiles are amongst the most coveted in the world of guitar manufacturing, and the 5-piece maple/rosewood creation on the SR300EB is no exception. Built to deliver the most accessible and fast-playing profile possible - whilst ensuring that string resonance is given the perfect platform - this neck is a dream to play.
The 24-fret rosewood fingerboard opens up a world of creativity and exploration. The neck and fingerboard tonal characteristics balance out the overall tone of the bass by giving the mid to treble range more depth, as well as a fast attack when executing slap or picking techniques.
Versatile electronics
The SR300EB is fitted with the powerful passive PowerSpan Dual Coil neck pickups in the neck and bridge positions. The enhanced Style Sweeper EQ section - with specific Bass, Mid and Treble EQ controls - gives you enormous control over the pickups, allowing you to craft your sound so that you can dip in and out of any musical style/genre you desire. Whether you're looking to sharpen up your metal fingering, or create a tight funk slap sound, the SR300EB can do it all.
Chrome hardware
Sealed die-cast closed-back Ibanez tuners ensure that once you set the tuning you desire, the strings will remain held firmly in position throughout. The chrome B120 bridge ensures a firm connection between the strings and body, so that intonation is maintained accurately across the neck. Ibanez have gone to every effort to ensure that the playing feel of the SR300EB is as reliable and responsive as possible, allowing you to develop proper technique with the maximum enjoyment.
Whether you're new to the bass, or have years of playing experience, the Ibanez SR300EB plays like an absolute dream. From a company who are widely celebrated for their innovative models and superb artist signature series instruments, they don't skimp when it comes to their entry-level gear. The SR300EB series basses offer incredible quality for their price, and this model is guaranteed to be with you for many years to come.

I'm following Griffiths' Introduction to Quantum Mechanics, and I see that he's got 2 different expressions for $\Psi(x,t)$. One of them is $$\Psi(x,t)=\psi(x)\exp\left(\frac{-iEt}{\hbar}\right)\tag{2.7}$$. The other is $$\Psi(x,t)=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} c_n \psi_n(x)\exp\left(\frac{-iE_nt}{\hbar}\right)\tag{2.18}$$
Whenever I am solving a problem, I tend to try to use Eqn 2.18, but then I look up the solution and see that I'm supposed to use Eqn 2.7 instead. It seems as if 2.18 would be the more complete equation as it is referred to as the most general solution. However, Griffiths keep using 2.7 in most problems that I've come across. I find it strange that he's used the same notation on the left hand side to refer to two different equations. Which one is the wavefunction?

By now, you're probably used to the premium cable craziness that is HBO's True Blood. The first trailer for the show's sixth season (which starts June 16th) hints at dark, perilous times for the good, simple paranormal inhabitants of Bon Temps. A blood-smeared Bill returns looking quite angry, and Rutger Hauer flashes a menacing smile. Anytime Rutger Hauer shows up, you know that something really bad is about to happen. Be afraid.
