philly.com/philly/news/politics/pennsylvania-...Philly councilman wants more taxes collected from out-of-town property owners
whyy.org/articles/philly-councilman-wants-mor...I remember seeing something a while back saying that regional rail would start using Septa Key this spring. Well its spring (although it doesn't look like it), but I still haven't heard anything about it. Suburban Station and the stations in the suburbs look like they have everything built for it. Is there any news of when it's actually going to get rolled out?

philly.com/philly/news/politics/philadelphia-...Traffic in Center City is a mess. Here's why and what should be done
philly.com/philly/business/transportation/phi...I experienced my first flat tire with my 2013 Fusion Hybrid today, and I tried to use the mobility kit to repair the damage. The kit didn't work at all, and I ended up needing to be towed.
Since the tire was full of fix-a-flat, the tire can no longer be patched, and I need to buy a new one. So best case scenario, if the mobility kit did work, I would still need to buy a new tire.
I want to buy a spare tire. There are spare tire kits on eBay for less than I paid for a new tire. Buying directly from Ford is more expensive, but still worth not being stranded by a flat.
Has anyone here bought the spare tire kit for their fusion? Is there a way to fit it in the trunk, where the mobility kit wa

articles.philly.com/1999-06-16/news/25499006_...The GPS in my Fusion has never worked great, it usually gets me where I need to go. Although it doesn't usually go the fastest route, and it doesn't seem to know where all the roads are. I still like to use it rather than my phone because of the convenience.
The GPS has directed me to drive down a footpath, take an exit that isn't there anymore, go across a bridge that was torn down & doesn't recognize the location of a few major interstates. I really want the GPS in my car to be able to tell me where I need to go, but Ford doesn't automatically update the GPS map.
When I bought the car, I assumed that the GPS would update itself. That doesn't appear to be the case. The map update from
OSHA usually requires people to wear hearing protection if they work in a loud environment. Planes are pretty loud and flight attendants are in the air several hours a day.
Is it normal for flight attendants to have hearing problems? Why are they exempt from wearing ear plugs?
His presidency was the start of the New Deal, my understanding is that he set up the basis for the welfare system in the Unites States. My friend and I were talking about this the other day and he mentioned a quote from FDR that sounded to be anti-welfare. I looked up the speech, and he sounds like he passed the New Deal, despite being opposed to the idea of a welfare state. Why did he create the New Deal and what was his long term plan for welfare in the United States?
The quote: "The lessons of history, confirmed by the evidence immediately before me, show conclusively that continued dependence upon relief induces a spiritual and moral disintegration fundamentally destructive to the nati
I have a mildy annoying problem. I am staying at a hotel and wanted to watch HBOgo on my room's TV. I carry an HDMI cord with me when I travel. I've had this laptop for over a year and have done this many times. The audio and video are working fine through the TV, but when I plugged in my laptop this time, the mouse moves to the middle of the screen and I can't move the mouse. The mouse can still click on things, it just doesn't want to move.
Possibly related, whenever I reboot my laptop I can't scroll or zoom using my touchpad. I figured out if I go to control panel>mouse>change mouse settings>ELAN>options>Set All to Default, the scroll function works again. I need to do thi
Middletown Studies - A study of Modern American Culture from 1890 to 1925
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middletown_studiesSo I understand as more people's votes are counted, it is easier to accurately predict the outcome. What I don't understand is how websites predict it with a small amount of presincts reporting in. Take yesterday's presidential election for example. Last night when West Virginia turned in 3% of their votes, cnn.com predicted (correctly) that Mitt Romney would win that state. At the time, Romney and Obama were tied at 49% each in WV. Also, how did they predict the outcome in Ohio, but not Florida. Florida has over 90% of it's votes counted, Ohio was just as close when it was predicted with under 70% turned in.
I checked Foxnews.com and npr.org and found similar results.
