15 Ways To Eat A Lovely Lunch
Flickr Finds
Last week we rounded up 15 different ways to eat a beautiful breakfast and this week we're back with highlights of mid-day meals found around Flickr. They all look great, but there's one sandwich in particular that's well, lets just say there's raspberry jelly, bananas, corn flakes and pumpernickel bread. Curious?
Many of the meals listed below have additional information over at Flickr, so make sure to click over and check it out! One thing we did notice when searching for delicious looking lunches is that most people simply named their photo: Lunch. While that's all fun and good, more people were creative with breakfast. Which one looks like it's up your culinary alley? Let us know below!

I love the one with the hot dogs and meatballs! That's a lot of meat, but somehow it looks pretty appetizing in that picture...
My favorite is the soup with meatballs, though I'm weirdly reminded of the vegetarian tenet to not eat anything that has a face.
Anything was more glamorous than my "Asian beef with heaps of tax forms on the side" today.

Key Status Monitor is a GTK+ application that graphically monitors and displays the status of your mouse buttons and the Alt/Ctrl/Shift keys on your keyboard. It is useful for various applications, including video tutorial work to allow viewers to see what is happening outside of the recorded area.
This application is no longer actively developed. It has been taken, modified, and rebuilt from the ground up by Scott Kirkwood over at Google Code, where you can always find the latest releases from now on:
This page will remain active to push existing users to the new project and as a historical perspective on the origin of the new project.
Download and Installation
The Key Status Monitor requires DBUS, Python, GTK+, pygtk, and the Linux kernel event device interface must be loaded. If your system meets these requirements, please continue!
Exract the archive and enter the newly created key-status-6 directory. From there you can then run the monitor using "./key-status" assuming you have the proper permissions to access your keyboard and mouse devices. If not, you may need to run the monitor as root. If you have multiple keyboard and mouse devices, then the most recently plugged in ones should be used.
Please use key-status --help to see a list of available options that can be passed to the key status monitor!

This rug pad is Exactly what I was looking for. The size is Perfect..it fits underneath my 5X7 rug with a 1 inch rug overlap. PERFECT! It keeps the rug solidly in place and gives it a wonderful extra cushion. This is a very old persian rug that has lost some cushion and this pad makes it a joy to my feet once again!
The rug pad was rolled nicely for shipping and I had no trouble with it laying flat on the floor. The thickness of it makes the area rug very soft to walk on, but it would be too thick near a door. I bought a second one to put under the matching runner in the entry hall and the door doesn't clear the height. I wanted the area rug to overlap the pad so it needed to be trimmed a little and that was easy. I used a yardstick to measure and mark the cut line; then put a 2x4 under the pad so I wouldn't accidently "cut" my hardwood floor. A carpet knife made quick work of the edge that had to be cut. I would not recommend scissors for the job.
We recently had all our hardwood floors restored and bought these rug pads for our existing rugs. The pads are thick and non slip. Slightly oversized and easy to cut down with household scissors. We are very pleased with our purchase.
I needed these pads for rugs on a laminate wood surface which covers a concrete slab. They definitely added cushioning, but I was hoping for something more plush like the padding under wall-to-wall carpeting. In retrospect, I suppose that would create a tripping hazard. So, these are probably better in that regard. They still slip slightly, not enough to create a problem, but IF your surface floor is slippery with socks on, and if you're a little OCD like I am, you will find yourself straightening them fairly often unless the edges are placed under heavy furniture, like a bed.
It's thick, it's cushy, great to stand on , no sliding! The rug sticks to the pad very well because of the "scratchiness" someone else complained about, and because of the rubber backing my shag doesn't slip on the hardwood, even when my dog is running marrathons! Yes it had a slight smell, so did the shag I bought(and so almost anything new), they will dissapate overnight I had to cut about 5 inches off and I plan on using scraps for other smaller rugs. Overall very happy with it
Finally, a product that does exactly what it is supposed to do. This was purchased to stop an area rug that sits on top of wall to wall carpeting from moving and wrinkling. Mission accomplished!
The Pad is very nice. The only prolem was the pad was folded not rolled like the others that I had ordered. The pad did lay flat and I am satisfied.
Nice amount of padding and keeps the rugs in place! I have 2 of them so far and have been very happy with them.
The product is exactly what we wanted. The ordering was easy and the shipping was fast!
I bought the 5' x 8' size and cut into several pieces to work with throw rugs on my tile floor in the kitchen. The pad definitely stays in place, but the rugs slide off the pad because the top of the pad is smooth with nothing to hold the rug in place. The pad works no better for my application than the cheap shelving-type stuff you can get at *********. I gave mine away.

Children should avoid specializing in a sport until they reach adolescence, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends. Reason: for every prodigy who becomes a successful athlete, thousands of youths suffer physically or psychologically from being pushed to compete at a young age.
Activity can help prevent heart disease, cancer, and stroke. It can also lessen feelings of depression, and boost confidence. As children get older, they often reduce their physical activity. Because of this, making activity a family priority is key.
Here are several specific areas where a parent can use limits to show respect for a child's feelings and at the same time enhance the child's health.
Parents can do a lot to ease test anxiety, both in their children and themselves. Start by focusing on the learning and not the scoring.
The time you spend with your children each day doesn't have to be scripted or scheduled. In fact, if you set aside only specific times as "family time," it puts a lot of pressure on both you and your kids.
The amount of planning help a student wants differs by education level. An elementary-schooler needs plenty of help, a middle-schooler expects more freedom. But parents should find ways to stay involved.
Young children often suck on their thumbs. It's perfectly normal, even though some parents fret about it.
Children who have ADHD are often given medication as part of their treatment plan. The type of medication most often chosen is a psychostimulant.
Movie watching rates two thumbs up as an occasional activity that is easy, affordable and fun for every generation.
When it comes to parenting, back injury is an occupational hazard. New mothers, whose backs have just endured the stresses of pregnancy and birth, are particularly vulnerable. So are taller fathers and mothers who must bend farther than others to scoop up tots from playpens.
Night terrors are sudden arousals from sleep often marked by a shriek, cry or some other sound just before awakening.
Tips for getting the most from your relationship with your grandchildren.
Children whose parents are overweight or obese are at higher risk for becoming obese themselves, studies have shown. One study, in the New England Journal of Medicine, found that for a child under 10, having an obese parent more than doubled the child's risk for becoming an obese adult.
OTC drugs have information on the bottle or box. Always read this information before using the medicine.
One of the many hats that parents wear is that of a "first responder." When their child is sick, they are the first to assess the symptoms and treat the illness.
If you have toys that have been recalled, don't throw them out. Take them back to the store where they came from.
few mothers- and fathers-to-be receive training for the much more challenging and long-term tasks: becoming good parents and remaining close and loving partners in the face of new stresses and strains as their family grows.
Peanut butter has a lot of benefits for your kids: It's versatile, delicious, and high in protein and fiber.
It's not always easy to get your children to eat enough fruits and vegetables.
Nutrition experts agree that a wide assortment of nutritionally balanced snacks served in moderation can be a healthy, essential part of a child's diet.
Plastic surgery is not for every youth. For some procedures, the child must reach milestones in age, growth and physical maturity.
While being a new Mom brings lots of joy, it also brings stress—something a crying baby can make worse. Better understanding why your baby cries can help you deal with this stress in a healthy way and help you avoid the most common form of child abuse: Shaken baby syndrome.
You can help your child by being prepared and preventing injuries from occurring. It is important to take charge of your child's health and follow a program designed to help you and your family stay healthy and safe.
You may think of heart disease as a problem for adults, not your young children. But diet and exercise habits started in childhood can begin a lifetime of heart health, or a lifetime of heart damage.
Inhalants are breathable chemical vapors that produce mind-altering effects. Knowing the facts about inhalants can help you protect your children.

Check back for updates and a look at the 2015 shirts.
(race shorter in 2009)
The registration fee is $38 (plus the SportOften convenience fee), and includes a long-sleeved race shirt from SportScience. Registration is limited to a total of 650 runners between the two race distances.
10 Mile Start Time: 9:00 AM
7k Start Time: 9:30 AM
Questions? Email us: email@example.com
The race will be held at the beautiful Little River Regional Park on the border between Durham and Orange Counties. The park offers visitors over 15 miles of single-track trails, comfortable pavilions for picnics, and a playground for kids. Proceeds of the race go to the park.
Race numbers and Little River long-sleeved shirts (included in the registration fee for those who registered by January 1) will be available for pickup on Friday, January 17, from 2:30 pm to 6:30 pm at Fleet Feet Sports Carrboro. Fleet Feet is located at 300 East Main Street in Carrboro. Note that Fleet Feet is open until 7:00 pm on Friday, but packet pickup will end at 6:30 pm.
Race bibs and shirts also may be picked up on race morning at the race site (Little River Regional Park). Race-day pickup begins at 7:30 am. Note that the 10 mile race begins at 9:00 am, while the 7k begins at 9:30 am. If you're planning on picking up your race number on race day, be sure to arrive in plenty of time. You'll avoid standing in line out in the cold if you pick up your stuff on Friday instead of Saturday morning.
IMPORTANT: To satisfy USATF sanctioning and insurance requirements, each race participant is required to sign a liability waiver in hard copy when picking up his or her race number. If you would like to have a family member or friend pick up your race number, you will need to have that person bring a signed copy of your waiver. Runners cannot sign the waiver on behalf of other runners. Parents or guardians must sign the waiver for minors. To help speed up the bib/shirt pickup process, please bring the signed waiver with you.
Waivers can be downloaded using the links below:
Generally speaking, be sure to bring something warm to throw on after the race.
Please remember that this is a "no headphones" event. This rule is intended to provide a safe and enjoyable trail run for all participants. While running with music can be great for training runs, running a trail race while wearing headphones means that you can't hear those who may want to pass safely. So please respect this rule!
There will be one aid station for the 7k route, and three aid stations for the 10 mile route. All aid stations will have water as well as friendly, enthusiastic volunteers. We encourage you to bring a handheld water bottle for the event. This cuts down on our use of paper cups (and it allows you access to water throughout your run). Aid station volunteers will be more than willing to refill your bottle. If you need medical attention, please ask at any of the aid stations. We'll have medical personnel at the event, and bikes patrolling the wide trails of the course (and checking in at the aid stations), just in case.
Thanks to our title sponsors Fleet Feet Carrboro, Montrail, Open Eye Café and Proaxis Therapy.
Sponsors improve our event in numerous ways in particular, they provide the prizes that we'll be giving out. Please keep them in mind when you eat, drink and shop!
As in previous years, prizes will be awarded to the top overall finishers (men's and women's) in both races, as well as to the masters' (over 40) winners. We'll also have prizes for the first finisher in each age group 19 and under, 20-29, 30-39 etc. In addition to prizes for overall and age group winners, we'll be awarding some prizes through random drawings. These drawings will be held both before and after the awards ceremony. You must be present to win…another reason to hang out for a bit after the race.
Little River Regional Park is located on the Orange/Durham county line, in Hillsborough, NC. The park entrance is on Guess Rd, about 1.1 miles into Orange County. The physical address of the Park is 301 Little River Parkway, Rougemont, NC 27572.
From I-85 in Durham exit onto Guess Rd (Hwy 157) and go N. app 12 miles. After passing a convenience store on your L, watch for the second entrance to Bromley Rd on right. Park entrance is after that. Watch for the Orange Co line and the entrance is a mile or so beyond that.
From I-40: Raleigh-Cary-Apex: NC 157 (Guess Rd.) is exit 175 off of I-85 in Durham. If on I-40, you can cross over at I-540 to 70W and then take I-85 S. If you are coming from Apex, you might be better off going Hwy 55 through Durham to I-85, then S a couple exits to Guess Rd. Once on traveling north on Guess Road, watch for the Orange Co line and the entrance is a mile or so beyond that.
Chapel Hill, especially the Carrboro side : Take Old 86 through Calvander and turn R on New Hope Church Rd. At the stop sign at the end of New Hope Church turn R on Old NC 10. Go about 2 mi and turn L on Mt. Herman Church Rd. Go straight at the stop light at 70 and the road name changes to Pleasant Green Rd. Go about 5 mi and at the 4 way stop turn R on St Marys Rd. Go about 3 mi and at the light turn L on Guess Rd(157). Go about 2 mi, pass a Citgo station on L and after entering Orange Co go about a mile and turn R into park.
If coming from Hillsborough, take St. Marys Rd out to Guess Rd (NC 157).
If coming from the W (Burlington etc) on I-40/I-85: Take I-85 at the split and get off at Exit 170. Go back a short distance towards Hillsborough and at the light turn R on Pleasant Green Rd. At the 4 way stop turn R on St Marys Rd. Go about 3 mi and at the light turn L on Guess Rd(157). Go about 2 mi, pass a Citgo station on L and after entering Orange Co go about a mile and turn R into park.
Please, please, please carpool to the race site! This is not only about going greener…it's a practical matter. There is limited parking at Little River, and we have a record number of participants this year. Eighty-five percent of registered runners indicated that they planned to carpool to this event…so please be sure that you do this (and if even more runners carpool, all the better!). We know that carpooling takes extra planning and effort. We've set up a Facebook page for the race "like" us on that page, there's a Discussions tab. Click there for a forum to use to arrange carpooling.
The race will be held at the beautiful Little River Regional Park on the border between Durham and Orange Counties. The park offers visitors over 15 miles of single-track trails, comfortable pavilions for picnics and a playground for kids.
Proceeds from the race will benefit Little River Regional Park.
10 Mile
Anthony Corriveau GPS
We have provided maps for the 7k and 10 mile courses that reflect past events. Please note that the course(s) on race day may differ from these maps due to weather, erosion, or other factors beyond the control of the Park, Organizers, or Sponsors.

GREEN BAY (WTAQ-WSAU) Wisconsin D-O-T reporting travel in both directions of I-43 has been shutdown between Highway 41 and Webster in Green Bay. There's a road inspection going on the Leo Frigo Bridge after a driver reported a dip in the road early this morning .
The focus is on a section about 150-200 yards long, that had dipped about three feet, spanning all four lanes. The dip is noticable on the DOT's web cameras that overlook the roadway.
The state DOT says it's assessing the situtaion. They'll provide more information at a news conference later today. A detour is expected to stay in place for at least a few weeks.

Finkelstein, Evan I.
Universal principles of life expressed in Maharishi Vedic Science and in the scriptures and writings of judaism, Christianity, and Islam
No. 3173294
This dissertation examines principles of Maharishi Vedic Science®—the Science and Technology of Consciousness—in relation to the scriptures and writings of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
The dissertation is motivated by the desire to test the premise that principles of Maharishi Vedic Science are present within these religious traditions. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are selected based on the presumption that these three traditions might be considered most distinct from the Vedic tradition of the founder of Maharishi Vedic Science, His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.
Five principles are selected that are judged to be fundamental to Maharishi Vedic Science to provide the basis for the study. These five principles can be concisely expressed in religious terminology as follows: 1) God is the ultimate reality of unbounded consciousness. Divinity is the source of creation and is simultaneously infinite silence and infinite creative dynamism. He is total knowledge and infinite organizing power—the unlimited existence of all possibilities. 2) The main purpose of human life is to become fully aligned and consciously integrated with Divinity so that humanity can live a life of peace, abundance, and fulfillment. 3) The ultimate cause of all problems and suffering in human existence is based in the ignorance of how to directly experience and permanently integrate the Divine in daily life. 4) To contact the Divine, one must learn how to allow the mind to naturally transcend the space-time boundaries of manifest creation and directly come to the experience of the transcendental light of God within. 5) The complete and lasting integration of the Divine in human life involves a process of development of higher states of consciousness. The four higher states of consciousness that are possible for humanity to realize are Transcendental Consciousness, Cosmic Consciousness, God Consciousness, and Unity Consciousness.
Analysis of the texts of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam reveals numerous examples of these principles of Maharishi Vedic Science. Analyzing the traditions in the context of these principles also uncovers a remarkable commonality in both theology and spiritual experience. The underlying unity among the traditions indicates a significant basis for increased acceptance and cooperation.

... a boat and started the trip. As we went along, we stopped several times and once we stopped by a rock and jumped off of it etc. It was really great fun, especially the rapids as after we got to watch all the people fall out.

Today we drove to find a place to stay overnight before going canoeing. As it was a long drive, we didn't get there until about 8:00 as they were closing. Luckily, they still allowed us to camp in their car park. On the way, we stopped at several lakes and found one where there was previously a lake but the salt water had evaporated and left the salt behind. So, we collected some salt and continued the drive.

Rehearsal is on Friday, June 13, 2014, at 9:45 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. We will meet in the lobby of the Student Recreation Center. You will pick up your tickets, go through the entire process of lining up, walking on stage to receive your diploma to leaving the stage in Prosper Hall. Rehearsal ensures that you are with fellow graduates from your major and are lined up properly. It is important that you stay in order or you may be given the wrong recognition.
You are invited to a BBQ for graduates, family and friends and SWOCC staff in the Henry Hansen Union Square sponsored by the Laker Club, Southwestern's Alumni Association.
Graduates should arrive by 5:30 p.m. to ensure that you are ready for the ceremony at 7:00 p.m. You will meet in the gymnasium of the Student Recreation Center, to line up and prepare to enter the auditorium. You will be walking with graduates of the same degree, so it is important to be in the proper order.
There is an Inter-Collegiate code which sets out a detailed uniform scheme of academic dress, but not all colleges follow it. Doctoral robes are typically black, although some schools use robes in the school's colors. In general, doctoral gowns are similar to the gowns worn by master's graduates, with the addition of velvet stripes across the sleeves and running down the front of the gown, tinted with the disciplinary color for the degree received. The robes have full sleeves trimmed with bands of velvet instead of the bell sleeves of the master's gown. Some gowns open more at the front to display a tie or cravat while others take an almost cape-like form.
In the US, academic dress is rarely worn outside commencement ceremonies. In many American schools, the color of the hood represents the school or department that the wearer is graduating from. A number of other items, cords or sashes, may be also seen worn, representing various academic achievements.
The tassel worn on the mortarboard may indicate the university's colors, or the colors of the specific college or discipline from which the student is graduating.
The colors allocated to the various academic disciplines have been largely standardized, and are:
The tassel is initially worn on the right side of the graduation cap. Once the student has officially graduated the tassel is moved to the left side. This designation is for Associate and Bachelor degrees. The process is reversed for Master and Doctorate degrees.
Phi Theta Kappa is an international honors society. Check out PTK's website.
Graduating with Honors – Students must meet the criteria for graduation and have a 3.75 cumulative GPA. Cumulative GPA includes all transfer credits from other colleges. All coursework from other colleges is included in the cumulative GPA, regardless of applicability to current coursework.
Honors in English – Students who have completed 15 credits of transfer classes at Southwestern with a cumulative GPA of 3.25 or better are eligible to enter the Honors in English program. This program encourages exceptional achievement in reading, literature and writing. Completion of the program will be recognized at commencement and on the transcript with the designation "Honors in English".

Denmark: What a find this is! In the Danish town of Odense—where the famed fairytale writer Hans Christian Andersen—a few wooden barrels, dating to the Middle Ages, have been uncovered. And what a surprise when excavators checked the contents—poop! Yes, the barrels had served as latrines some 700 years ago. That definitely was their original purpose. They once held fish and were used to takes merchandise from one area to another, but at some time they were converted to latrines. And, according to the archaeologists working at the site: "They still smell bad!"
United States: As workers on a construction site in Nashville, Tennessee, prepared an area for a new baseball park, they uncovered fire pits and ceramics that are believed to date back to as early as A.D. 1150. The finds suggest the area was once a workshop where mineral water was boiled to collect salt, which the people then used as a trade item. Stay tuned for more details as the finds are analyzed.

Only Bob Dylan, of the three headliners at the Gorge last weekend, has played a show in Seattle during the '90s. Joni Mitchell hasn't toured the West Coast since 1983, and Van Morrison's last Seattle appearance was with the Chieftains in 1986. Yet the crowd's anticipation was obviously for Dylan; because of his recent histoplasmosis scare; because of the tremendous popularity of his 1997 record _Time Out Of Mind_ (his first top-10 record in nearly 20 years); but mostly, it seemed, because he's _Dylan_.

Windows 8
The next major release of the Microsoft Windows operating system, Windows 8 officially debuted on October 26th, 2012 following a release to manufacturing on August 1st.
According to Microsoft, Windows 8 is a completely redesigned operating system developed from the ground up with touchscreen use in mind as well as near-instant-on capabilities that enable a Windows 8 PC to load and start up in a matter of seconds rather than in minutes.
Windows 8 replaces the more traditional Microsoft Windows OS look and feel with a new design system interface codenamed "Metro" that first debuted in the Windows Phone 7 mobile operating system. The Metro user interface primarily consists of a "Start screen" made up of "Live Tiles," which are links to applications and features that are dynamic and update in real time. Users will also be able to switch between apps in Metro by simply swiping across the screen.
Windows 8 also features the latest Internet Explorer Web browser, Internet Explorer 10, as well as integrated cloud-based online services like Microsoft's app store and Office 365. The new operating system will also likely add built-in support for newer technologies like USB 3.0 and Bluetooth 3.0.

The census tells us quite a bit about where people are populating and when. What we see in the chart below is a significant (not tested for significance) change in course for population movements. The data examines the population of central cities of each metro area, compared to the surrounding metro area populations. Suburban growth patterns continued to dominate the percent of growth through 2007 (noted by the tall blue bars above the metro area), then abruptly fell for both in 2007-2009. What follows is primarily growth in the central cities (green bars in 2009-2011) with some moderate growth in the surrounding towns.
I continue to believe that when faced with economic uncertainty, due to high fuel prices, sputtering economy, etc., people will choose a more efficient lifestyle. Cities are an opportunity for that, helping to reduce commuter costs and put people closer to the things they want and need. Even in the face of higher housing costs in central cities, the combined cost of transportation and housing is still a better deal. In a flat economy with high fuel prices, that is a choice many are inclined to make.
For my planning activism with the Greater Waterville Bike and Pedestrian Advisory Committee, I have been looking into a lot of crash data, trying to learn about the nature of accidents in and around Waterville and how they could be mitigated.
I happened upon a story that I didn't expect to find, but did. Waterville is looking into fixing a 5 way intersection at the corner of Western Ave., Lincoln Ave., and 1st Rangeway. The intersection can be a bit difficult to navigate, but in looking at the crash data for the Waterville area, it appears that the intersection is quite safe compared to other parts of town (Interstate Interchanges & Downtown).
While the perception is that the intersection is unsafe, what generally tends to happen is that people navigating that intersection approach it with some level of hesitation and a heightened awareness. Because everyone knows it is a "bad" intersection, it is made safe because people treat it as if it were a place to be respected. In the list of projects for the City of Waterville and Maine's DOT is a redo of this "unsafe" intersection. While the improvements may in fact change the perception of the intersection as an "unsafe" place, the data suggests that this is a gross miss-allocation of resources.
Waterville has a downtown business environment that is fighting like hell to remain a viable center of business activity. People take economic risks here by opening up businesses, the downtown development group spends considerable energy building up the downtown, but what is clear to me is that the street network that supports downtown isn't doing an adequate job.
By the numbers, a two block section of downtown has had 84 accidents in the last 8 years. Most of those are rear-end/sideswipes between people backing out of diagonal stall parking were rear-ended or parallel parkers were sideswiped. As a planner, I know the value of downtown on-street parking to downtown businesses. People need to get in, conduct a transaction, and leave. Eliminating on-street parking is a looser for these businesses and will make traffic even faster due to greater roadway widths. Stories here and here.
What is needed however is a traffic calmed environment that will be a more inviting place for patrons of downtown businesses, families spending a weekend strolling along the shop lined streets, and as a result will slow traffic down, leading to less crashes.
Cities levy taxes to pay for things people need. Some of those things are schools, parks, streets, police & fire protection. Understandably, nobody really likes taxes, so cities try their best to keep taxes low. In a town like Waterville, in what is considered a service center town, taxes can be a bit higher. This is largely due to having more hospitals, churches, non-profit organizations, judicial buildings, schools and colleges, than many of the surrounding communities. These places don't pay property taxes and that is ok, because they bring people to the community for those services and the jobs they represent.
It can be argued then that service center towns will have a much more difficult time attracting residents who use tax rates as a measure of attractiveness to settle in a particular town. One solution to that problem is to focus on adding more value per acre of taxable property, thereby reducing the property tax rate and the burden on a towns citizens.
While increasing the density of value may be a difficult political sell in some respects, it represents a solution to a vexing problem of overtaxing a tax-weary citizenry. The map below is a simple parcel map of Waterville, ME that shows the value of each parcel in terms of its area (value/acre). The most valuable parcels of the town are primarily the downtown (red parcels), which also happens to be the most dense part of town.
Considering that infrastructure and other city services become less expensive as density increases (less roadway to pave, less patrolling needed, etc.), it begs the question of why we create zoning codes that promote low density development? If residential housing is restricted to 4 homes/acre (.25 acre lots) and the street that those houses reside on costs the same as a street that is zoned for 6 houses/acre (.17 acre lots), which street has a better chance of being supported by the tax revenue of the properties on the street?
When we look at downtown, you note that most parcels are either red or dark orange, representing value/acre at over $1M or $750K respectively. These represent breadwinners for the cities coffers and probably subsidize much of the low density areas infrastructure costs. Not that downtown development is right for every part of town, but any chance a city has to increase density will increase value on a per acre basis.
As a planner, I feel it is my responsibility to find solutions to how cities develop that cater to people of the broadest possible political persuasions. Reducing tax rates while maintaining a high level of city services appeals to a broad coalition. Reducing our ecological footprint by taking up less space is also appealing to many.
I rail (no pun intended of course) on about fuel prices, sustainability, and changing how we do business with regards to transporting ourselves. As I have noticed in Maine, we are lucky because the State has done a good job of preserving rail corridors. These will be instrumental to our transition to a more sustainable existence and density along those corridors is a big part of that. When crunching 2010 census figures, I found that within 20 miles of arbitrarily chosen (I looked at towns with rail and towns with people in them) station areas, over 900,000 or Maine's 1.3 million people reside.This is a tremendous opportunity for conventional passenger service and allowing for people to have some great mobility options other than cars.
The map below is a view of the Southern Maine Portion of a proposed route map showing station locations, 20 mile buffers around the stations, and population density of census blocks within those 20 mile buffers.
This map (below) is more of the same with 5 mile buffers around the proposed rail stations. More than 560,000 people live within census blocks 5 miles from these stations. At some point I will crunch the within 1 mile of stations numbers and get back to this, but regardless, this represents a great opportunity for both commuter travel and conventional longer distance service.
As we seek out ways to keep our population mobile and provide opportunity for employment, I think rail will play a big role in that mobility equation. For now I just wanted to talk about density, show a picture (map) of where Maine is at in terms of some initial feasibility. At a future point in time, I would certainly like to talk about current rail infrastructure, transit oriented development, rail vehicle technologies, and a few other important ideas related to this.
Here are some other maps that I created with station towns identified. Again, these aren't official anything, just a boy, some data, and some ideas. Northern Maine above, Southern Maine below, just like it is on the map.
Enjoy. Comments welcome.
Planitizen's Michael Lewyn explores the relationship between density and price, combating the notion that dense urban development is bad because it is unaffordable. While urban housing prices have risen lately, it is largely a reflection of housing preference and supply and demand for those sought after living spaces. He includes several examples of dense development at various price points.
My not so original contribution to this is to ask: how big of a role does transportation play in affordability when one isn't paying for the high cost of an automobile? There is a great mapping site that uses a variety of data inputs and displays housing affordability according to median home price, then combines that with transportation costs to give a clearer picture of affordability.
Once transportation costs are accounted for, and perhaps disaggregated to tease out auto ownership in high density transit served areas, can an accurate analysis be performed. That would provide a clear picture of the real cost of living based on place and transportation choice.

Overruling a lower-court decision, Ohio's 10th District Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the state has the right to seize $258 million in funding designated for antismoking programs and use it for other purposes, the Toledo Blade reported Jan. 1.
However, the court restrained the state from immediately taking the money pending further appeals in the case.
The money was previously controlled by the Ohio Tobacco Prevention Foundation and came from the state's share of the nationwide tobacco settlement. A lower court said that the state had committed the money to the foundation and could not take it back, but the three-judge appeals panel disagreed.
"States desiring to permanently restrict the use of their tobacco settlement money have done so expressly through constitutional amendments," the court ruled. "Ohio has never promulgated a constitutional amendment restricting the use of its tobacco settlement funds. Accordingly, the General Assembly retained its power to legislate with regard to those funds."
Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland and Republican lawmakers wanted to raid the fund to help pay for a job-creation program in 2008, but the tobacco-prevention foundation responded by voting to transfer $190 million of its funding to the American Legacy Foundation, a national charity dedicated to smoking prevention. State lawmakers retaliated by dismantling the Ohio foundation and trying to seize all of its funding, prompting the current lawsuit.
Strickland and his allies now say they want to use the money for health programs, a move that has won some support from social-service programs in the state.

Google plans online music store
The search engine giant is quickly moving to compete with Apple and Amazon.
Google (GOOG) wants a part of that action as well and is planning its own online music store to compete with Apple and Amazon (AMZN) according to various news reports this week. But Google may have to forge ahead without cooperation from much of the music industry.
The company has talked to all four major labels about participating in its service, but only EMI Group, owned by Citigroup (C), is close to a deal, The Wall Street Journal reports. EMI has Katy Perry and Gorillaz among its artists.
Google is rushing to launch the store in connection with its Music Beta music-in-the-cloud service. The service is similar to ones launched already by Apple and Amazon that let you store music online and stream tunes from smartphones and other devices.
The following video discusses how Google is moving beyond search.
Post continues below.
Google has run into problems with the music industry over financial terms and concerns that the company wasn't coming down hard enough on piracy.
"Some at the labels continue to pressure Google to do more piracy busting," writes Greg Sandoval at Cnet News. "They have suggested that obtaining content might be easier if the company showed more prowess at protecting that content."
Google's efforts come as Apple continues to show just how far ahead it is in this business. Apple this week rolled out its iCloud remote storage service, and it has a clear advantage over Google and Amazon.
Apple will scan your iTunes collection and automatically populate your iCloud space with those same songs. Other services require users to upload each song in their libraries, which can be time consuming.

DETROIT (WKZO) -- The Detroit City Council has passed a resolution calling for a federal investigation to see if civil rights charges are warranted against George Zimmerman.
During their meeting on Tuesday, council members unanimously passed the resolution, sponsored by Councilwoman JoAnn Watson. The resolution led to discussion by council members over the need for city leaders and others to focus more on violence in Detroit.
Zimmerman was acquitted July 13th of second-degree murder and manslaughter charges in the death of Florida teen Trayvon Martin.

Each week, the NHL on TSN panel voices its opinions on the hot topics of the day in the Game Night Hockey Quiz.
As a follow-up, TSN.ca offers you the opportunity to chime in on all the big issues with our insiders. Read up on all the questions and answers, and put in your own two cents on our popular Your Call feature.
What was the turning point for the Los Angeles Kings?
Bob McKenzie: Hiring Darryl Sutter. The arrival of 'The Jolly Rancher' in Los Angeles is absolutely the big turning point in the season. He's the guy that's been pushing all the buttons and got Drew Doughty back on the right page, amongst other things, so I'm going to say Sutter.
Marc Crawford: I think it was not trading Dustin Brown. Never mind how well he's playing in the playoffs, this team would not have made the playoffs had they traded Brown. He has been that good and he's that good a person that I can't believe even thought of trading him.
Aaron Ward: Not trading Dustin Brown maintains balance and structure in your locker room. You cannot manufacture chemistry. When you move your captain and a leader, it can do reputable damage to your locker room.
What has been the most ill-advised majority answer on The Quiz 2012 Playoff Edition?
Crawford: The worst one was Alex Pietrangelo surpassing Drew Doughty among young NHL defecemen. I think it just goes to show you that young defecemen need lots of time. They have lots of things to learn and Pietrangelo is learning how to play the playoffs and he'll be better for it. Doughty had to learn how to deal with missing training camp and dealing with a big contract. Both of those players will be on Team Canada in 2014.
McKenzie: I'll say David Backes over Dustin Brown in the choice of two American team captains; and I was guilty on both counts. I did believe at the time that Pietrangelo had surpassed Doughty at that point. Doughty re-gained it, obviously in that series against St. Louis, but I thought Backes was ready to take that next step in the playoffs - and the Blus too - but I was wrong on both counts.
Ward: I'll say Pietrangelo surpassing Doughty. I set really high expectations on this guy and when a team starts off pretty decent, 5-2-1, and he's got zero goals and is a minus-4 with two assists, it's a struggle.
What overall grade would you assign officiating during the NHL Playoffs?
Crawford: I'm going to say A, B, C and D. I think some nights they've been great. Some nights they've made the right call and have been good, but I think some nights they've just gotten through and been OK. And some nights they have sucked, and I would have yelled at them.
McKenzie: I will say C, and it's always been a C. Ever since referring was invented, it's been a C. They get a passing grade but nothing you're going to run home and say 'oh wow, that was awesome!' They're referees; they don't expect anything better than a C.
Ward: I'll say C. Don't get me wrong; I spent an entire school career trying to convince my parents that C was not bad. Unfortunately for these guys, it's puzzling at times to watch them. I acknowledge they have a tough job but you need only to look back at the Detroit-Nashville series when David Legwand was in the crease and the puck was sitting there for so long. He put his hand on it and manages to take a voyage back to his bench and hand it to his trainer's pocket.
In a country where hockey is so linked to our cultural identity, should players want to go to the World Championship?
Crawford: Yes, it should be. They did a much better job of getting a lot of the key players that were available to come this year, but they really suffered - especially on the defence. They had some injuries and they needed one of those key Canadian defencemen to supplement them. Had they done that, they'd probably be looking into the semifinals.
McKenzie: I'll say yes. It's kind of the motherhood issue. Yes; everybody should want to go.
Ward: Yes, but I'll say from experience not having ever being asked to play for Canada that after 82 games it's a tough sell after that sacrifice to convince guys to keep going and play hockey.
Who has the best chance at knocking off the defending champion Saint John Sea Dogs at the Memorial Cup?
Crawford: I say the Edmonton Oil Kings. The last time they were there was 1972 when they lost to the Cornwall Royals, who I happened to play for. A sentimental favorite; I want to see them win one.
Ward: I had to defer to the Craig Button Scouting Services Inc. for this one and I'm going with the London Knights. They are the deepest of all four teams; they possess Michael Houser in net, who tied the OHL record in wins with 46. Most importantly, they have the mojo coming back in Dale Hunter. Some of it might drop off on this team and get them over the hump.
McKenzie: I'll take the Edmonton Oil Kings; simple.

'Do Your Part,' Michelle Obama Says on 'Let's Move' First Anniversary
Feb. 9, 2011 -- What's next for Michelle Obama's 1-year-old Let's Move program to fight the child obesity epidemic?
"What we want to see is more, to challenge everyone to do more. We need more parents engaged: stepping up and changing habits and behaviors, and looking for the advice and sharing their best practices with other families," Obama said in a news teleconference held prior to the Atlanta speech marking the first anniversary of Let's Move.
"Sometimes as parents we are just plain tired," Obama said during her speech. "But don't give up. Keep fighting. Change things at home but also in your neighborhoods and schools. ... We have a voice, and when we come together to use that voice we can change things."
In her speech, the first lady looked back on what Let's Move has accomplished -- and looked forward to what still needs to be done to curb the U.S. explosion of child obesity.
What has the program accomplished so far?
"We are starting to see a fundamental shift in the conversation about how we eat and how we grow and get our food," Obama said. "We have seen a hopeless scenario turn into hope. We have seen a nationwide movement -- and we are calling it a movement -- to see kids across our country have everything they need to be healthy."
Child obesity expert Stephanie Walsh, MD, medical director of child wellness at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, says the program already is a success. And she agrees with Obama that it's becoming a movement rather than just another government program.
"Her focus on this issue has really brought this to the forefront in everybody's mind. So many people have worked on this for so long, and it is now a movement," Walsh tells WebMD. "She is supporting our efforts."
Most importantly, kids are getting with the program.
"What is really neat is my patients come in and say, 'The first lady says we should move more,' or, 'In my school, we are talking about the first lady,'" Walsh says. "It is making movement more positive -- it isn't painful, it's fun."
"obesity" and "fun" are words not often used in the same sentence. WebMD asked Obama what she's doing to engage children.
"We need to make sure kids understand exercise is the secret code word for play," Obama said. "You don't have to join a sports league or run on a treadmill. For some, it is turning on the radio and dancing in the living room, or running with your pet. Exercise should be fun, and it will take all of us to send those messages. Then we will see more folks stepping up to engage kids."
Michelle Obama: Let's Move Achievements, Goals
Obama listed a number of things Let's Move has accomplished in its first year:
- Expanded the "Healthier US School Challenge" program that awards schools for promoting nutrition and physical activity.
- Began the "Chefs Move to Schools" program that has paired 2,000 professional chefs with schools to make healthier menus and prepare healthier foods.
- Signed up more than 450 mayors and local officials for Let's Move Cities and Towns, a commitment to make and achieve a plan for local actions to fight child obesity.
- Saw Congress pass the Hunger-Free Schools Act to improve the quality of school meals for millions of children.
- Partnered with a wide range of businesses, sports leagues, and other groups. For example, Walmart has agreed to reduce the price of healthier foods.

Augmented Category 6 (CAT6a)–Class Ea was ratified in February 2008. This standard calls for 10-Gigabit Ethernet data transmission over a 4-pair copper cabling system up to 100 meters. CAT6a extends... more/see it nowCAT6 electrical specifications from 250 MHz to 500 MHz. It introduces the ANEXT requirement. It also replaces the term Equal Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT) with Attenuation to Crosstalk Ratio, Far-End (ACRF) to mesh with ISO terminology. CAT6a provides improved insertion loss over CAT6. It is a good choice for noisy environments with lots of EMI. CAT6a is also well-suited for use with PoE+.
CAT6a UTP cable is significantly larger than CAT6 cable. It features larger conductors, usually 22 AWG, and is designed with more space between the pairs to minimize ANEXT. The outside diameter of CAT6a cable averages 0.29–0.35" compared to 0.21–0.24" for CAT6 cable. This reduces number of cables you can fit in a conduit. At a 40% fill ratio, you can run three CAT6a cables in a 3/4" conduit vs. five CAT6
There are two types of CAT6a cable, UTP and F/UTP.
The IEEE released the 802.3an 10GBASE-T standard in June 2006. This standard specifies 10-Gbps data transmission
over four-pair copper cabling. 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) transmission includes up to 37 meters of... more/see it nowCAT6 cable (with installation mitigation techniques), 100 meters of Augmented Category 6 (CAT6A) UTP or F/UTP cable or 100 meters
of S/FTP CAT7/Class F cable.
CAT6A is the ANSI/TIA 10-Gigabit Ethernet (10-GbE) over copper standard. Its requirements are covered in ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 (Balanced Twisted-Pair Communications Cabling and Components Standard) published in August 2009. It defines 10-Gigabit data transmission over a 4-connector twisted-pair CAT6A copper cable for a distance of 100 meters.
Category 6A cabling is designed to support next-generation applications, including the transfer of large amounts of data at high speeds, up to 10 Gbps. CAT6A extends electrical specifications to 500 MHz from 250 MHz for CAT6 cabling. CAT6A cables are fully backward compatible with previous categories, including CAT6 and 5e. Category 6A is also designed to support bundled cable installations up to 100 meters and PoE+ low-power implementations. The standard includes the performance parameter, Alien Crosstalk (ANEXT). Because of its higher performance transmission speeds and higher MHz rating, CAT6A cable needs to be tested for external noise outside the cable, which wasn't a concern with previous cabling categories. CAT6A UTP also has a much larger diameter than previous cables.
Alien crosstalk (ANEXT) is a critical and unique measurement in 10-GbE systems. Crosstalk, measured in 10/100/1000BASE-T systems, is the mixing of signals between wire pairs within a cable. Alien Crosstalk, in 10-GbE systems, is the measurement of the unwanted signal coupling between wire pairs in different and adjacent cables or from one balanced twisted-pair component, channel, or permanent link to another.
The amount of ANEXT depends on a number of factors, including the type of cable, cable jacket, cable length, cable twist density, proximity of adjacent cables, and connectors, and EMI. Patch panels and connecting hardware are also affected by ANEXT.
With Alien Crosstalk, the affected cable is called the victim cable. The surrounding cables are the disturber cables.
There are a number of ways to mitigate the effects of ANEXT in CAT6A runs. According to the standards, ANEXT can be improved by laying CAT6A UTP cable loosely in pathways and raceways with space between the cables. This contrasts to the tightly bundled runs of CAT6/5e cable that we are used to. The tight bundles present a worst-case scenario of six cables around one, thus the center cable would be adversely affected by ANEXT. CAT6A UTP cable needs to be tested for ANEXT. This is a complex and time-consuming process in which all possible wire-pair combinations need to be tested for ANEXT and far-end ANEXT. It can take 50 minutes to test one link in a bundle of 24 CAT 6A UTP cables.
To virtually eliminate the problem of ANEXT, you can use CAT6A F/UTP cable. The F indicates an outer foil shield encasing four unshielded twisted pairs. This cable is also a good choice when security is an issue because it doesn't emit signals. In addition, CAT6A F/UTP cable works well in noisy environments with a lot of EMI/RFI.
Installation of CAT6A F/UTP is simpler, too, because the cable features a smaller outside diameter than CAT6A UTP. Its construction makes it easier to pull and more resilient. The cable also has a smaller diameter so you can run more cables in a conduit or pathway, and have greater patch panel port density.
For more information, see the CAT6A F/UTP vs. UTP: What You Need to Know white paper in the Resources section at blackbox.com.

Degree types
UCL offers a number of programmes of study which include the opportunity to undertake substantial, in-depth research leading to one of the qualifications outlined below. Most research students begin their programme of study in September, although it is possible to enrol at any time.
Study for the MPhil and PhD, whereby students undertake a supervised research project, is offered in all UCL academic units.
PhD students at UCL are required to register initially for the MPhil qualification; the upgrade procedure from MPhil to PhD registration is an important step in your programme. The MPhil/PhD is normally designed to extend over three years full-time or five years part-time. However, certain PhD degrees are offered on a four-year full-time basis; please see departmental entries for details. It is also possible to register with the intention of graduating with the MPhil degree.
The PhD is assessed by a written thesis of no more than 100,000 words. This thesis must demonstrate the candidate's capacity to pursue original research in their field of study and represent a distinct and significant contribution to the subject, whether through the discovery of new knowledge, the connection of previously unrelated facts, the development of new theory or the revision of older views. It should show the exercise of critical judgement with regard to both the candidate's own work and that of other scholars in the field.
The MPhil is assessed by a written thesis of no more than 60,000 words. This thesis must represent a contribution to the subject either through a record of the candidate's original work or a critical and ordered exposition of existing knowledge.
Doctor in Engineering - EngD
The EngD has a duration of four years full-time.
It has been developed to provide business and technical expertise to complement doctoral-level research skills. About three-quarters of the programme is in the form of an industrial research project carried out within a company. The remainder of the programme involves taught courses in technical, business, managerial and personal skills.
Doctor of Medicine (Research) – MD (Res)
The MD(Res) is aimed specifically at individuals in
clinical practice who wish to undertake a piece of supervised research
associated with their employment.
Students must be registered for a minimum of two calendar years either full-time or part-time before submitting a thesis for examination. The thesis, of no more than 50,000 words, may deal with any branch of medicine, surgery or medical or dental science.
It must form a distinct contribution to the knowledge of the subject and afford evidence of originality by the discovery of new facts and/or by the exercise of independent critical thought.
Master in Philosophical Studies – MPhil Stud
This two-year research degree, offered in the Department of Philosophy, includes a significant taught component and represents the standard route for entry to a PhD in the department. It is examined by a thesis of 25,000 to 30,000 words plus 15 taught components over two years.
The MPhil Stud is the standard route for entry for a PhD in the department.
Professional doctorates provide an education at an intellectual level equivalent to that required for the PhD.
In addition to the substantial research component, examined by a thesis of 20,000 to 40,000 words depending on the qualification, the programmes also include elements of a practical, work-related and professional nature and taught components assessed by coursework.
Professional doctorates at UCL include:
- Child and Adolescent Psychoanalytic
- Psychotherapy (DPsychotherapy)
- Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy)
- Clinical Communication Science (Doctorate)
- Dentistry (DDent)
- Educational and Child Psychology (DEdPsy)
- Educational Psychology (DEdPsy)
- Paediatric Dentistry (DDent)
- Trauma and Orthopaedics (Doc Orth).
