As has been documented again and again, divorce crashes a child's world. That truth stated, an essential question must be asked: If you are in a marriage that feels like a death sentence (and maybe is), if you have tried and tried to make things more endurable but cannot -- what is the worst damage to children: to stay or leave?
I believe with every fiber in me that it is better to leave, and show your children that you are capable of a better life, and so are they. This leads to other questions about the wisest way to accomplish this. Please read on, as I would welcome your feedback.
My former husband fought our divorce tooth and nail. He saw monogamy as "nonsense" and felt that because most of the money that supported us was through him ( I was told nothing about his investments), he could come and go from our family home as he wished. He also believed that our life should be presented to his colleagues and our friends as Christmas Card Perfect.
Further, even while he unofficially lived with an other woman, he insisted that "the family" (as he called us) celebrate holidays, birthdays, even wedding anniversaries together. (He did not believe that his unofficial companion belonged at these gatherings.) His choice was to always celebrate at very public hotels and restaurants so that others would see how sophisticated and cordial "the family" was. While I was trying to save our marriage, I participated in such evenings, until they began to make me physically ill.
Due to my former husband's resistance, the legal and emotional ordeal of our divorce took years. When he finally agreed to a divorce (because of an assault charge) he was given very liberal visitation with our children at his home. Still he insisted that in the agreement there also be a clause that once every month, there be such a "family" evening. I signed this, though my lawyer urged me not to, just so the divorce finally would be granted.
My children were very young at this time (in early elementary school), and their father continuously built up the importance of "the family" every time he was with them. He insisted on intimate birthday celebrations, even "raising a glass to celebrate our wedding anniversary," as well as the monthly "family" gatherings in pubic places. He told anyone who would listen that the divorce was all my fault, as my "demands" for his time were "completely unrealistic for a real man." He also told everyone who would listen that he hoped for a reconciliation, when I "finally came to my senses."
Things really got awful when I refused to participate in our public monthly outings. By this time his companion was leaving me phone messages, raging that first I held up the divorce and then I insisted on a "family night" that left her out!
Alive for me always remains one such "family night," in the dead of winter. Directly after such a call from the woman he lived with, the children's father came to my children and my home, demanding that we all have dinner. I told him privately, away from our children, what I had told him often: He had no right using me and our children as an excuse for not making a commitment to another woman. He then went to our children, telling them that I refused "family night" and was trying to take their father away from them. The children were understandably confused, torn, upset and angry, telling me they wanted to be with their daddy, and begging me "to go with them and Daddy for family night." I refused. I made sure the children were dressed warmly, gave them each their favorite book and drawing materials, as well as a drawing of a clock, showing them when they would be home, where I would be waiting for them. As they left with their father, he was telling them loudly that I destroyed our family.
I shook on this evening, and on all subsequent ones my little ones were with their father. For I never trusted the care they received or his judgment. Yet, I had no power to do anything other than my best to teach them to care for themselves.
My children remained angry with me for years, again and again parroting their father's words that I destroyed their family. I listened, acknowledging their pain and anger.
When my children were older I explained my actions: I wanted them to see a woman who stood up to manipulation and abuse, and I also hoped that they would someday see firsthand what I real marriage was. In time, I was able to show this to them. However, even if this fortune had not come my way, I never wavered from my belief that for me and for them, divorce was the correct option.
But this explained, like you, I have always known the story of King Solomon, who gave the child to the parent who refused to have the baby cut in half. My children wanted this "family night;" but with the best of intentions, I refused the sham and manipulation. And I hurt them.
To fast forward: My children are now adults, each married to an ethical, hard working, loyal partner -- each in a partnership committed to their children. Each with a good profession.
I have not discussed "family night" with them for many, many years. But I surely have thought about it. I well know that as I lived my life, many of my choices and decisions caused my two little children horrible pain. To this day I can picture their tear stained faces on evenings I refused to join them and their father. I have often wondered if I should have participated in what seemed a horrible sham -- an acquiescence that I feared would weaken them.
Was my decision "tough love" that strengthened them; or was I, in truth, the "selfish horror" I remain labeled by their father? My children surely suffered. Over the long run, would I have made their pain more tolerable by acquiescing to the manipulation? What would you have done? I would very much like to know your thoughts.

Chelsea fan faces no action
A man arrested on suspicion of racist behaviour after Chelsea's Capital One Cup clash with Manchester United will face no further action, Scotland Yard have revealed.
Pictures taken during the fourth-round tie at Stamford Bridge on 31st October appeared to show a fan making a "monkey" gesture.
A 28-year-old man was arrested over alleged racist behaviour and banned by Chelsea.
In response to Thursday's decision, a club spokesman said: "We're currently reviewing the situation."
Other fans in the crowd were interviewed and CCTV footage has been examined but "a decision was taken with the Crown Prosecution Service to proceed with no further action," a Scotland Yard spokesman said.
He added: "The Metropolitan Police Service (MPS) takes any allegation of racist chanting and/or behaviour very seriously and if any matters are brought to our attention they will of course be thoroughly investigated.
"The MPS routinely work very closely with football clubs and partner agencies to monitor behaviour to ensure public confidence and safety."

So, yeah. New round of Compy's contest Clashsipping this time around. The bunny refused to be less than vague, so this is nowhere near the way I had wanted it to be when I first saw the bunny hiding in the corners. But she's being an elusive little brat today, so, yes. I can't get any more out of her.
That italic block there is the chorus of Fairytales Sandcastle by LifeHouse. Not mine at all.
On and on and on he goes dancing on the grave
Of what he thought was still alive
On and on and on he goes
Dancing in mansions made of twigs
And castles made of sand
Sanity was a relative term, when it came to their relationship.
Push and shove and bend and break, if they were anyone else, it might never have worked. Blood and ice and fire and broken reflections.
His crown was cracked plastic after all and his ice throne(heart) was melting in the fire they called love, and their castle was made of sand.
This love they had was a candy-coated prison and their chains were the jewlery they wore. Pretty pendants and golden sceptors, deceptive innocence bundled up in a pretty golden parcel.
They didn't understand each other at all and it was a never ending cycle of fire and blood and candy kisses but they couldn't stop. Like a broken merry-go-round they kept dancing on their own graves, never quite in reach of each other but never out of reach either.
And the stage was such a pretty one, really; once one looked past the sandcastle surrounded by corpses.

When traveling to another country it is important for you to be as safe as you can possibly be. The tips that are provided in the following article should give you an idea of what you should avoid. It is better to be safe than sorry when it comes to international travel.
Bring clothing that is suitable for travel. This means items that you can wash and dry in the hotel room, and that won't wrinkle from being air-dried. Also, remember that you can buy clothing as you go, and it will most likely be more suitable to the climate and culture of the area.
If you plan to opt for a night flight or just a very long flight in general, it may be best to bring some sort of sleeping aid. It's quite difficult to sleep on airplanes anyway, but if you take a sleeping aid right before takeoff, you can arrive at your destination fresh and ready to take on the world!
One factor that may not come to mind right away when planning travel is weather. By looking up the weather forecast ahead of traveling, or possibly even before deciding when to travel one will know what to expect. If the weather looks bad, it can be prepared for or the trip even rescheduled.
If you're traveling to a country where you're likely to want to enjoy a bottle of wine, bring along your own corkscrew. If you don't know the area or speak the language, tracking down a corkscrew just for that impromptu picnic can turn a relaxing afternoon into a harried scavenger hunt.
As stated before, traveling is a wonderful way to see the locals of many different nations around the world and experience life through their eyes. If you follow the advice found in this article before you begin to travel, you can make the most of your experience and have memories that will last a lifetime. dacre lakeside park

(This is a coda to my science fiction novel, Which Art In Hope. I wrote it principally to crystallize some thoughts that were central to the political theses of the novel. It turned out to be more of an education than I'd expected -- not about the political explorations in the novel, but about the ways of love and loss.)

NOTE: Please PM me before requesting to be a contributor for the chart, or else I won't know who you are just by looking at your e-mail address.
WANTED: Assiduous individuals to help add to and perform maintenance on the database! I don't pay as much as Apple (in fact, I can't pay you at all!) but you'll contribute much to the community in the process!
A while ago, I was thinking about the major threads here in the portable forum, and what the next step might be. I thought about a project that anyone could contribute to, and thus went to the cloud and the wiki concept. Google Docs is a widely used web application that can allow cloud-based editing from multiple sources and be published on the web in real-time. I thought, "Why not create a chart that can give members all the major specifications of IEMs at the tip of their fingers?" and thus went about creating a chart that would possibly allow for such a concept. Currently, the chart is only designed for balanced armature IEMs and their technical details, but the project can easily expand to other parameters as well.
Below is the current, rudimentary version of the chart; as you can see, I don't have most models listed, but you all can get the idea of what the concept is. I'm in the process of recruiting various members that I know have significant knowledge to contribute, and have them on as collaborators/editors, but the goal is to make it so that anyone with the desire to contribute to this chart can do so. As this idea is in the very nascent phase of its conception, please let me know what types of improvements I can make to the workflow and format of such a chart!
Clarification: this chart is not merely about drivers. Although that category is a large part of the chart, it is mostly there to provide people who need/want that technical information to do remolds or DIY projects. It also displays a transparency of information, where people needing this type of data can go into a chart like this and compare the types of technology used by in-ear makers around the world. This chart is primarily an at-a-glance document for people who need to do multiple comparisons at once, and secondarily also a testbed for the crowd-sourced, cloud-connected method of mining information.
If anyone spots any errors (I know there are quite a few), inconsistencies, or omissions, please feel free to post in the thread!

Feel the Noise
Parts & Labor were playing at full gallop one afternoon on a jury-rigged stage in Austin, Texas, when a small girl wandered through the crowd, covering her ears. Not critically, though, if her placid expression was any indicationshe was just sensibly protecting herself.
You'd think you know what you're getting with these guys, and it doesn't exactly scream "kid-friendly." Usually, a vocal-less first album, "electronics" as an instrument, and beard-heavy promo photos indicate an emphasis on something other than tunefulness. But look closer, and there's a smile lurking in the beard, with an eyebrow cocked playfully above. And from the album itself emerges some catchy melodies.
"From the beginning, we were trying to mix really harsh sounds with really harmonic sounds," says bassist-vocalist BJ Warshaw, who met electronicist-vocalist Dan Friel when both worked at the Knitting Factory. "After a year and a half of seeing bands" play free jazz every night, Friel adds, "I snapped. I wanted form!"
Certainly vocals, to say nothing of form, play a prominent role on P&L's new album Stay Afraid. But they weren't always so organized. The band began as Friel's noisy solo project; its gradual evolution was "very disparate," Warshaw recalls. "You can hear we were trying out different things."

"Genuine experimenting," Friel adds.
"We're just restless people," Warshaw concurs.
That restlessness pays off on Stay Afraid, P&L's first album with new drummer (and occasional Voice contributor) Chris Weingarten. The band's still-relentless experimentation here coheres into an almost pop sound, but still noisejust noise with a purpose. "We want to make music that's somewhat uplifting to listen to," Friel explains, and indeed, strip that noise away and you've got Christmas carols, folk, or even (as the band freely admits) U2, or really any lyrics that express dissatisfaction and music that evokes yearning for something better, rather than simply complaining.
Restlessly combining noise and pop, Parts and Labor emerge with the best of both worlds. As Weingarten puts it, "We're the highest common denominator!"

Stochastic Algorithms for Dynamic Models: Markov Perfect Equilibrium, and the 'Curse' of Dimensionality
This paper provides an algorithm for computing policies for dynamic economic models whose state vectors evolve as ergodic Markov processes. The algorithm can be described as a simple learning process (one that agents might actually use). It has two features which break the relationship between its computational requirements and the dimension of the model's state space. First the integral over future states needed to determine policies is never calculated; rather it is estimated by a simple average of past outcomes. Second, the algorithm never computes policies at all points. Iterations are defined by a location and only policies at that location are computed. Random draws from the distribution determined by those policies determine the next location. This selection only repeatedly hits the recurrent class of points, a subset of the feasible set whose cardinality is not directly tied to the dimension of the state space. Our motivating example is Markov Perfect Equilibria (a leading model of industry dynamics; see Maskin and Tirole, 1988). Though estimators for the primitive parameters of these models are often available, computational problems have made it difficult to use them in applied analysis. We provide numerical results which show that our algorithm can be several orders of magnitude faster than standard algorithms in this case; opening up new possibilities for applied work.

It's Whipped is rated out of 5 by 290.
Rated 5 out of 5 by hlhartman from Awesome Product! I received It's Whipped in Kiss Me in my Maven box--I love how light it feels, but it provides stellar coverage! I feel like I can eat/drink without worrying that it's worn off. It's not as durable as a lip stain, but it's pretty darn close. I receive compliments every time I wear it and I recommend it to anyone looking for a great lip product!
Date published: 2015-12-17
Rated 5 out of 5 by confusionlove from A favorite for sure I've been using Bisou for many months now - probably nearly a year. It's my go-to, matte-but-easy lip in a nice neutral color - just slightly dark on me so it looks kind of classy. I also bought XOXO for a brighter red, and recently snagged Pillow Talk which is so nude on me it's crazy... but I love it! Why? Because It's Whipped makes my lips feel soft and great. Depending what I eat or drink - if I'm just sipping water at my desk or have a couple small snacks, no serious napkin-using - then I can literally wear this for the entire day. After 5 hours or so my lips feel slightly dry, but compared to literally every other brand of lip product I have - that doesn't transfer/wear off in an hour, especially - that's just amazing. I will be buying more of this for sure. It's a reliable standby. I basically don't even shop for matte items of any other brand because this one is conditioning and I get tons of compliments.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Dber from Amazing! I don't write reviews for the good, bad or ugly. However, I got the stuff in my maven box and it is beyond words! It is soft, matte and most importantly it LASTS! I put it on in the afternoon and at bedtime, after eating and drinking, I was actually taking it off with my make up remover. I got the color bisou and have feeling it would look good on any coloring. I am blonde with reddish skin tone and it looks perfectly natural as it adds a classy depth of color.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Defenderpam from BISOU IS THE BEST! First off - LOVE the packaging!! The cover "clicks" into place when you replace the applicator, which is nice and while I wasn't sure about the shape of the applicator - it really does feel natural. The product itself has a smooth and luxurious texture and the color is to die for! I got it in Bisou and plan on getting a few more now that I've tried it. It stays well and doesn't dry or feather after wearing it for a while. LOVE LOVE LOVE this!!!!

Rated 4 out of 5 by StephanieToronto from What a lovely surprise I opted to get Ooh La La in my Maven box. I'm on a liquid lipstick thing right now and what I'm used to are colourpop lip products, recently the matte liquid lipsticks, and with this product I was worried the staying power wouldn't be great. Colour-wise it's pinker in the tube but appears more brownish on my lips- which I'm a-ok with! I would compare it to a lighter version of Trap by CP. I like the applicator too, allows for precise outlining of the lips. The staying power is okay provided there isn't excess product on your lips! Basically when you blot your lips, don't reapply anything afterwards, because that excess will just come off onto your coffee cup or whatever. Wore it at work and did a gentle reapplication during my lunch break, and got compliments on the colour. It feels light and moisturizing, not drying at all, and it IS pigmented for sure! Good job Julep, I'm happily surprised with this :D

I have a 1967 C10 pickup, after sitting for 5 days will not turn over when using the switch,battery good power, after let sitting for a hour starts and runs great. Is there a problem with starter switch or actual switch?
1 Answer
If you're saying that the battery goes dead if the truck sits for 5 days, have the battery load tested. On a '67 there's not much to drain the battery unless you have a modern stereo system or other gadgets that could be staying on after the ignition is turned off. A simple test on these is to disconnect the positive (+) battery cable with the engine off and hook up a 12 volt DC test light in between the battery post and the disconnected battery cable. The test light should be off. If it glows, something is drawing power. Then, one by one remove and install each fuse until the test light goes out. That'll isolate the circuit that has the power draw on it. If you're saying that after the truck sits for 5 days it cranks for a very long time before starting that's because the fuel is draining or evaporating out of the carburetor float bowl. Crank it a few times then pump the gas pedal 3 or 4 times. Then crank it again. It should start right up. HTH. -Jim

Chino XL @ Stray Cat
A 38-year-old Jersey-born rap veteran who is a certified member of Mensa, Chino XL has called L.A. his home for a decade and a half. "I feel like there's more space, metaphorically, because there's space physically," XL says. "Whenever Jesus was tempted or looking for clarity, he went to the desert. You can really wrangle the writing muses here. I've lived in Jersey, and there's inspiration there, but inspiration is more accessible out here because it's quieter. I did my last album with no outside stimulus, like a complete deprivation tank, with my mind turning in on itself. I kind of dig that. Also, the Latino communities have embraced me so wholeheartedly that they've made me work much harder to rep them in hip-hop." He's built a loyal following on the West Coast for his intense lyrics, a following he'll expand when he visits Phoenix's long-running WTFunk night at the Stray Cat, performing tracks from his latest, RICANstruction: The Black Rosary, which unflinchingly touches on subjects including his daughter's cancer and his own suicide attempt. Despite the brutal subject matter, XL remains willing to work with his listeners: "I think that [it's] very, very crucial that I can be followed. I don't try to challenge the listener as much as I open up my arms and say, 'Walk with me.'"

Anti-government activists in Syria have paid tribute to American war journalist James Foley, who is believed to have been beheaded by militants Islamic State (IS) militants in Iraq.
A freelance war journalist from Rochester, New Hampshire, Mr Foley disappeared in northern Syria in November 2012 when a car he was travelling in was stopped by militants in a contested battle zone.
A brutal propaganda video released on Tuesday by IS - formerly known as Isis - appeared to show Mr Foley kneeling on the ground in the desert, being beheaded by a black-clad rebel. A day later, US officials speaking on a condition of anonymity said they believe that the footage is real.
Separately, his parents confirmed on a Facebook page dedicated to their son's release that the 40-year-old reporter had died. "We have never been prouder of our son Jim," the page read.

Among the tributes pouring in for the murdered reporter who had been working as a freelancer for Agence France-Presse and the Boston-based media company GlobalPost were activists opposed to Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.
Residents of the small town of Kafranbel in the province of Idlib, who are well known for their banners and political cartoons, praised the reporter who had lost his life documenting their country's bloody revolution.
On Wednesday, the group tweeted a photo of men holding Syrian flags aloft next to a banner reading: "James Mr Foley's will to expose Assad and Isis pushed him to sacrifice his blood to enlighten Obama's vague vision. Humanity is proud of James."
#Syria #Kafranbel a Tribute to #JamesFoley pic.twitter.com/btfUrXB2s6— Kafranbel English (@kafrev) August 20, 2014
Mr Foley's murder marks the first time IS has killed an American citizen since the Syrian conflict broke out in March 2011, upping the stakes in an increasingly chaotic and multilayered war.
The killing has further complicated US involvement in Iraq and the Mr Obama administration's efforts to contain the group as it expands in both Iraq and Syria, after the IS militant who appeared to have beheaded Mr Foley threatened to kill another journalist, thought to be Steven Sotloff, depending on the US' next move.Reuse content

8 Pieces Of LGBT Spoken Word Poetry That Will Leave You Speechless
Seriously, I have nothing more to say – just watch.
"Excuse me, poem, are you gay?
Have you grown up contrarily to what I wanted you to say?
I most certainly didn't write you that way
Was it something I said, something I did that turned you?
Maybe I should have peppered your verses
With sport, girls and beer
Maybe as your author I deserted you…
Or did another writer turn you queer?"
A history lesson: A faggot is a bundle of sticks
Originally used as kindling for fires that engulfed gays
When they were burned at the stake, people were firewood
But Moses came across wood on fire and saw God in it,
What is a burning bush but bundles of branches
On fire, isn't it funny how faggots and God can look the same sometimes?
I stay here out of fear
Fear of judgement, fear of ridicule
But most of all, fear of abandonment.
I'm afraid that if I come out of this lonely little closet
What waits beyond will be a much greater peril
Or perhaps it will be the release I've been looking for
So I'll take a chance.
My mother was born in a U.S. Naval base in the Philippines
She has grown up with
Old bruises,
Little wars and defeats that cannot be drowned across oceans,
I understand that to survive
She cannot keep losing
So everyday, I let my mother refuse my beauty in
Two different languages
And I understand both
Watch the full performance:
The summer I turned fourteen
My grandmother got me smashed at a wedding in Jersey
Somewhere in between the 3rd glass of champagne and the 4th ABBA song
She turned to me and said,
"Joanna, someday you're going to have a wedding just like this
And when you do, don't let them play any disco."
6. Sibel Sayiner and Violet Trachtenberg strip away the glamour of San Francisco pride in this high-energy duet.
There is more to celebrate than a parade.
There are voices to be heard
That cannot make their way to these limousines.
Queer people don't need sponsors
Don't need spectators
8. The 2013 Women of the World Poetry Champion, Denice Frohman, asks straight people, "Who do you think you are?"
Dear Straight People,
Who do you think you are?
Do you have to make it so obvious that I make you uncomfortable?
Why do I make you uncomfortable?
Do you know that makes me uncomfortable?
Now we're both uncomfortable.

Tin House Reels: Jordan Bruner
This week, Tin House Reels offers up the animal-frenzied dance party that is Jordan Bruner's The Leaf Woman and the Centaur. Bruner's work, which ranges from advertisements for major brands to full length films to animated poems, tends to bring small elements together into an intricate motion that celebrates community.
The Leaf Woman and the Centaur is the first episode in her series about creation myths. Bruner writes that the film is "a stop-motion animation that looks to reconcile [creation myths—and to value] the act of experiencing the story as their central component. In the same way that Paradise Lost articulated the felix culpa (beneficial fall of man), or Dante's Inferno explored our ethical and spiritual scaffolding, The Leaf Woman and the Centaur will use the same basic tropes present in every creation myth to emphasize the value of an ancient experience that died with the cold logic of words."
It is a particularly sensually engaging film. Puppets reminiscent of Eric Carle's illustrations but more speckled in their fleshy bodies fight, embrace, and cover the earth with their seeds. Bruner made the film by building small puppets out of watercolor paper and wire, filming them in stop-motion with Dragonframe and compiling the whole with After Effects.
The Leaf Woman and the Centaur by Jordan Bruner from Tin House on Vimeo.
Jordan Bruner is an animation director living in Brooklyn, NY. Jordan has worked with clients including Linda McCartney Foods, Friskies, and Etsy, collaborated with bands ranging from the Mountain Goats to Paramore, and shown her short films in festivals all around the world. In amongst creating 2D and Stop Frame animations, Jordan finds time to paint, collect hologram paintings, and be part of a bowling team.

Mound Builders
Discover your family's story. Enter a grandparent's name to get started. Start Now The types of the human skulls taken from those ancient mounds said to have been erected by a prehistoric race, and now called "Mound Builders" a race claimed to be far superior to our Indians are characteristic, not only of the ancient Mexicans, Peruvians and other ancient tribes of South America, but also of the ancient Natchez, Muskogee's, Choctaws, Chickasaws, Cherokees, Seminoles, Yamases and others of the North American continent. And it is a conceded fact that all Indians ever found in North and South America...Read More

Last week, the Department had the honor of hosting a conversation with U.S. Rep. John Lewis on Transportation and Civil Rights. I wanted DOT employees to spend a little time with Congressman Lewis so that we could all better understand the connection between transportation and civil rights, and how the work he and his fellow Civil Rights foot soldiers did to desegregate the country's transportation systems in the 1960s connects to the work we are doing at DOT today.
John Lewis, who was arrested more than 40 times for protesting segregation and inequality, is a living legend who, along with countless other civil rights activists, took great risks to help integrate our transportation system and other public facilities. Thanks to them, our buses and trains and waiting rooms and rest stops are no longer segregated, but America's roads to opportunity are still not open to every community. The mission to close that gap continues to inform the work we do today in this Department...
Inside a busy airport terminal, past the bookstores, the restaurants, the cinnamon bun stands, and the gift shops, opportunity is at work.
America's airports are economic engines, fostering thousands of jobs in communities of all sizes across the country and helping commerce and tourism thrive. Airports provide ladders of opportunity for communities to revitalize neighborhoods and connect to essential services and jobs.
Opportunity soars at our nation's airports. Commercial airports support 9.6 million jobs and $358 billion in wages...
America's transportation system bears a critical burden: it must move people and deliver the goods and materials that Americans need and want safely and efficiently, to help America's businesses compete effectively in the global economy.
This requirement isn't easy to achieve. And, it's about to get a lot more challenging with projected population and employment growth. But, a provision in the recently passed Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act offers DOT an opportunity to make significant headway in nationally and regionally significant projects.
At DOT, we all know that keeping America's freight moving is a key to economic growth, and we work hard to find ways to keep it moving as our transportation system faces the challenges of the future. But it's important to have this conversation in places that are engines of the freight economy. We want to learn from local businesses and stakeholders in real cities.
It's timely to have the conversation now because the recently enacted FAST Act is the first reauthorization bill to provide dedicated funding for freight investment in the country. And to receive funding, states will be required to have a freight plan in place.
So we've launched a series of roundtables on the freight economy that we're planning to take around the country.
Today, I traveled to San Juan, Puerto Rico with Federal Highway Administrator Gregory Nadeau to join Governor Alejandro Javier García Padilla and Puerto Rico Secretary of Transportation and Public Works Miguel Torres Díaz in signing an agreement that further strengthens the Administration's commitment to develop transportation infrastructure and promote economic recovery in the Commonwealth.
This agreement provides federal technical assistance to ensure that Puerto Rican transportation officials are able to expeditiously access about $400 million in previously obligated federal funds for infrastructure projects that will create jobs and spur economic development. It also represents an important step in Puerto Rico's plan to improve its billing procedures by increasing capacity for developing and sustaining best practices, such as using electronic funds transfer and reducing the time it takes to pay contractors. And the agreement permits the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to authorize the retroactive use of toll credits to be used for state matches, allowing the Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority (PRHTA) to maximize their access to federal funding.
When a community invests in a bridge or rail project, they get more out if than just another piece of infrastructure; they get a better connection to the opportunity available outside that community. But when the same community is allowed to hire locally --when residents get a shot at building the project-- that creates opportunity within the community, and that's a powerful dividend.
Recently, Secretary Foxx wrote to stakeholders, reminding them that every $1 billion invested in federal highway and transit projects would support 13,000 jobs. He also told them of several different options to ensure that some of those jobs stay in the community...
This afternoon, I appeared before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Transportation, Housing, and Urban Development and Related Agencies. I thanked Congress for its work in passing a bipartisan surface transportation bill last December, which has done a lot to remove the cloud of uncertainty hanging over our transportation system for the better part of the last decade.
And I also invited them to join President Obama and this Department as we build on the FAST Act with an even more robust budget proposal that creates an American transportation system unrivaled in its ability to meet the challenges of the future...
Earlier this month, we began a series of blog posts from a special set of mayors who have been part of DOT's Ladders of Opportunity Transportation Empowerment Pilot or LadderSTEP. Now that we've given these five leaders the blog space to write about their cities' LadderSTEP experience, it's important for us to thank them for taking the time to share their thoughts with our readers.
It's one thing for us to write about the value of connecting communities, helping people get work, and revitalizing neighborhoods; it's another thing for you to hear it from those on the front lines.
While we are excited by the progress we've made in our 7 pilot cities, we continue to identify and elevate best practices that can spark replication and influence public transportation investment strategies. But we can do more...
I've been talking about transportation's role in connecting people and opportunity since I took the oath of office as Secretary. My colleague -and fellow former mayor-- HUD Secretary Julian Castro has been an equally strong advocate for the role housing plays. Of course, Fast Lane readers will recognize that these are not competing ideas but cooperative visions.
And today at the Brookings Institution discussion, "Pathways to Opportunity: Housing, Transportation, and Social Mobility," Secretary Castro and I discussed how transportation and land use decisions work together to break down barriers and build ladders of opportunity...
Seven times since 2009, this Department has unleashed our TIGER program across America. And seven times, this intensely competitive program has awarded grants to vital projects that improve transportation and provide real benefits to real people from coast to coast.
Today, at the annual legislative conference of the National Association of Counties, I announced that $500 million will be made available for our 2016 TIGER grants.
