It’s great when you want to drive somewhere quickly, and not so great when you want to walk or ride your bike instead. This makes being a pedestrian dangerous, especially if they have to cross highways to get to work or school. Check out this clip about the hazards of crossing highways: via Treehugger Post from: BlissTree Highway Safety Hazards Mean Pedestrian Dangers (Source: Breastfeeding 1-2-3) Breastfeeding 1-2-3 blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=3798524 Wed, 28 Jul 2010 21:51:05 +0100 3798524 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=3374107&cid=t_135892_87_f&fid=36438&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeedproxy.google.com%2F%7Er%2FCato-at-liberty%2F%7E3%2FBYj8y6F3eFY%2F By David BoazEveryone in America, I presume, has just received a letter from the U.S. Census Bureau urging us to fill out our Census forms. Seems like a very expensive way to tell us to watch for the form to arrive in the mail. But I’m particularly interested in why they say we should promptly fill out the form: Your response is important. Results from the 2010 Census will be used to help each community get its fair share of [federal] government funds for highways, schools, health facilities, and many other programs you and your neighbors need. Without a complete, accurate census, your community may not receive its fair share. Obviously this is a zero-sum game. If my neighbors and I all fill out the form, then you and your neighbors will get less from the common federal trough. But ...

After making generous assumptions regarding the costs, user benefits, environmental benefits, and effects on urban development, Glaeser concludes that all the benefits of high-speed rail would still be less than half the costs. As Washington Post writer Robert Samuelson observes, the Obama administration’s vision of high-speed rail is “a mirage. The costs of high-speed rail would be huge, and the public benefits meager.” Yet even Samuelson falls victim to the common assumption that high-speed rail “works in Europe and Asia” because population densities in those places are higher th...

(For ESY 2007, That Time has been 1:05pm, if not earlier.) For the past six years, I have arranged my work schedule according to that time; when I can, I have sought out shortcuts from work to home and bothered Jim to help me find them; I have learned which stop lights seems to last longer and at what point to switch out of the left lane on Routes 1 & 9 south so I can merge onto the ramp for highway 78; I know how many minutes it takes to walk, run, or race-walk from my office to my car; I drive home on what has been called “equal parts roller coaster and demolition derby” because it is more direct, and (all important) faster. I have ne... Autism Vox blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=767608 Mon, 30 Jul 2007 22:30:34 +0100 767608
