Traffic Lights need to change
Traffic Lights really need a change. Based on this article, Traffic Light History - Invention of the Traffic Light , traffic lights have been basically the same since the first one was installed back in 1920. Now it’s time for a change.
Take out the Yellow, really. It would take …
I-95 tolls beginning 6am Friday December 5, 2008
Interstate 95 stretches from the Canadian border to US1 in Miami. The highway has a history of toll collections at various intervals that eventually changed over time. Now the anticipated, but perhaps unwelcome, beginning of toll collection in Miami-Dade begins that is supposed to "manage" and improve the transit between Miami and the Golden Glades interchange, one of the most congested spots on I-95. The tolls will vary according to time of day,traffic flow, and, according to this report, veh

Wednesday Review - Rant #1: Metro-DC Area Drivers
Yes, you read correctly - I’m reviewing the driving skills of the Metro-DC Area drivers (NOVA, DC, MD). I currently live in MD and commute all the way to Old Town Alexandria for my job. I am not the most patient person in the world when it comes to driving and my road rage is horrible (my turrets is crazy - my VP called me a potty mouth!) And if you live in the area too, you know and understand why rush hour to get home is from 2pm - 7pm. (img from ens-newswire.com) Now I understand that y
‘Our netas have raped every part of Mother India’
It is open season on the Indian politician. E.R. RAMACHANDRAN forwards a copy of an open letter to prime minister Manmohan Singh, purportedly from a resident of Nepean Sea Road, which captures the urban middle-class rage against netas, post the Bombay blasts. *** Dear Mr Prime Minister I am a typical mouse from Bombay. In the local train compartment which has capacity of 100 persons, I travel with 500 more mouse. Mouse at least squeak but we don’t even do that. Today I heard your speech. In whic
India’s Muslims in Crisis - By Aryan Baker - TIME Newsmagazine
TIME Newsmagazine – Thursday, Nov. 27, 2008 India’s Muslims in Crisis By Aryn Baker The disembodied voice was chilling in its rage. A gunman, holed up in the Oberoi Trident hotel in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), where some 40 people had been taken hostage, told an Indian news channel that the attacks were revenge for the persecution of Muslims in India. “We love this as our country, but when our mothers and sisters were being killed, where was everybody?” he asked via telephone. No answer came. But

What Causes Road Rage? Can It Be Controlled?
Many people comment that drivers today are far more aggressive than they were even just a decade ago. Often these drivers are not only driving in a dangerous way, but also in a threatening manner. The term most used when describing overly aggressive drivers like this is called “road rage”. The fact that road rage exists is not in question, but what causes road rage and how can it be avoided is. Road rage is one of the many factors that have made the nation’s roads more dangerous now than ever b
Suggestions from the public about road safety requirements
The Arrive Alive website received a few suggestions from the public on how to improve the safety on our roads. We would like to share these suggestions from Roddy via this Blog: “ Arrive Alive Dear Sirs, ROAD SAFETY - RED TRAFFIC LIGHTS, BLOCKED INTERSECTIONS, TAXIS, NO NUMBER PLATES AND SPEED LIMITS ON URBAN HIGHWAYS AND MOTORWAYS. 1. RED TRAFFIC LIGHTS There is little regard paid to red traffic lights these days thanks to the example set for us by taxis. An amber or orange light means speed up
Bite Your Tongue: Roadie Rage, and How to Avoid It
Other cyclists can be annoying. Take the cyclist I shared the bridge to Manhattan with this morning. As I ascended, I was overtaken by a rider on a color-coordinated track bike which was as free from dirt as it was from brakes. He passed me handily and I thought nothing of it, thinking that was the last I'd see of him.But then came the descent, and the drawbridge-being-raised sound of reverse torque on a fixed-gear drivetrain. There's a sharp right hand turn at the bottom of the bridge on the Ma

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button - by F. Scott Fitzgerald source Chapter I As long ago as 1860 it was the proper thing to be born at home. At present, so I am told, the high gods of medicine have decreed that the first cries of the young shall be uttered upon the anaesthetic air of a hospital, preferably a fashionable one. So young Mr. and Mrs. Roger Button were fifty years ahead of style when they decided, one day in the summer of 1860, that their first baby should be born in a hospi
Report from the North
December 3, 2008 in Wisdom | Tags: Art, Riki Moss, Wisdom It’s hard to not be cynical when the talking heads announce that the US economy is “officially” in a recession and has been since December 2007. The absurdity of not being able to name what everybody knew until a year after the fact is one more piece of what feels like the cold-blooded machinations of manipulative forces that have no interest or relationship with any of us down here on terra firma trying to live our lives in the day to

Scholarship event to honor road rage victim will be held Saturday
A scholarship created to honor a teen killed in a road rage accident will hold a fundraiser with a silent auction Saturday to raise money. The funds will go to college scholarships. The scholarship was created by former Dallas County Assistant District Attorney Taly Haffar in memory of Gustavo, who was killed in an apparent road rage incident in 2004. Gustavo was about to begin his senior year of high school at Woodrow. "Before the case even hit my desk, I was getting calls from Gustavo's fr
The top Christmas inspired music videos!
Ok, so the title might be slightly misleading, because it's not just a list of MTV style videos, though they have their share on here. No, I'm defining the videos on this list as ones that "truly invoke the Christmas spirit in a completely bizarre yet truly hilarious manner." And if you have a problem with that, you can make your own list. But I don't think you will, because this list includes awesome holiday sweaters, rapping, Patrick Swayze and Rasheed Wallace. How's that for a tease? On the
Revamping Biothreat Security: Sifting Through Notes on a Suspected Killer
I have a longstanding policy never to reveal the contents of a secret interview. If, however, a secret source turns out to be the sole suspect in a heinous crime, and if that source is dead, I don't mind talking in generalities about our years-ago interview. Especially if the topic is biodefense and bioterrorism. A number of years ago, I worked on a story about the anthrax vaccine for JFK Jr's now-defunct George magazine. At the time, the Pentagon had ordered all troops to take a vabe innoculat
