How to Lose Belly Fat ?

FOOD is more powerful than any prescription weight loss pills, because the FOOD
that you eat can either make you THIN or FAT.   You don't get fat because of a
lack of exercising, that's a myth.  You get fat because you don't eat the right
foods at the right intervals each day

Subject: [A_A] East Lansing (Mich)  pursues $20M for rail-bus hub

 






http://www.lansingstatejournal.com/article/20090921/NEWS01/909210325



City would use federal grant for new facility, parking structure



EAST LANSING - Trains and buses are increasingly attractive to
budget-conscious travelers, and city officials are hoping to satisfy
the growing interest by seeking a $20 million federal grant to improve
a local rail-bus hub.



City officials are hoping to land a grant for a new facility, parking
structure and other infrastructure at the site of the busy, but
dilapidated, train station near the intersection of Harrison and
Trowbridge roads.



The train station, built in 1974, also serves Greyhound, Capital Area
Transportation Authority and Indian Trails buses.



The plan is to construct a new station that would serve both rail and
bus passengers. The current station would be demolished.



Community development analyst Lori Mullins said the Transportation
Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) grant would come from
stimulus funds through the U.S. Department of Transportation.



If the city is successful in receiving the grant, construction could
be
gin next summer, Mullins said. Projects must be completed by February
2012. Grant recipients would be announced in February.



"This is a very competitive process and we believe that it fits well
within the goals of the TIGER grant," Mullins said.



The current station is a busy place, serving one round trip per day on
the Blue Water train line which runs between Port Huron and Chicago.
Mullins said there are also 18 daily bus boardings.



Local train enthusiast Kaz Fujita, a Michigan State University
professor, said the current station was only intended to be a temporary
structure for a service route.



"At one point ours was one of the better-looking stations on the route,
but now we're pretty much at the bottom," Fujita said.



In the last five years, traffic on the Blue Water Line has gone up 40
percent, Fujita said. The East Lansing station registered the highest
ridership ever in 2008, officials say.



A new parking structure on the nine-acre site would alleviate the
frequent logjam in the station's current parking lot, officials say.

Subject: Help Restore Michigan Passenger Service









Tell your state legislator to restore funding for Michigan passenger
trains to 2009 levels ($7.3 million) in the new transportation budget.

   The Michigan senate slashed fiscal year 2010 funds for Michigan
passenger train service by almost half. The Michigan house of
representatives followed the governor's recommended budget and slashed
fiscal year 2010 funds by 22%. Two of the state's three train routes
will cease to operate by early or late spring next year under these
budgets. What's worse is that these actions jeopardize the state's
application for $800 million in federal grants to build a high-speed
route linking Detroit to Chicago and other destinations throughout the
Midwest and to improve train operations and stations throughout
Michigan.

   Michigan's continued investment in current train service is essential
to leveraging the federal funding available to bring passenger trains
into the 21st century, along with the jobs and economic development
that will accompany this expansion.

  Please PHONE or EMAIL your state senator and representative NOW.

 

     -- Tell them YOU RIDE THE TRAIN, and

0

     -- Ask them to RESTORE FUNDING for the Pere Marquette and the Blue
Water routes to the full $7.3 million provided in the current year.

The Blue Water route provides daily roundtrip service to Port Huron,
Lapeer, Flint, Durand, East Lansing, Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, Dowagiac
and Niles. The Pere Marquette provides daily service for travelers in
Grand Rapids, Holland, Bangor, St. Joseph, and New Buffalo.

                 Legislative Update
September 15, 2009

























                         Dear Matthew, 
                          The transportation/housing appropriations bill
is on the Senate floor this week.  As reported in our current
newsletter [PDF], both House and Senate have shorted Amtrak's operating
grant request by $27 million.&nbsp; If adopted, this would force a
hiring freeze at Amtrak and rule out service expansion, which would be
extremely unfortunate at a time when expectations and responsibilities
are growing.  There are larger shortfalls in the capital program. 
Since Amtrak is committed to full implementation of an appropriate
Americans with Disabilities Act stations program, the Senate capital
figure (net of de
bt service and ADA) is $380 million below the
authorized level and would leave Amtrak with just $53 million for all
capital needs other than engineering projects and mechanical needs. 
Although slightly more than what the Obama Administration requested,
this does not support the President's vision. The Senate bill contains
$1.2 billion for high speed rail, the House $4 billion. We are not
expecting friendly amendments this week, but we do need a better
outcome in the penultimate step: the House-Senate conference committee
that will come after Senate action.  Please tell your two Senators and
your Representative about the importance of fully funding Amtrak and of
getting a strong high speed rail funding level.  If you are able to
contact them tonight or tomorrow morning, urge them to vote against
Sen. John McCain's (R-AZ) anti-transit amendments.  Also, Sen. Tom
Coburn (R-OK) has proposed a series of amendments that aimed at
limiting use of the Highway Trust Fund dollars until that Fund is on a
firmer financial footing.  Among the uses he would prohibit:
transportation museums, and bike and pedestrian paths. On the transit
front, we understand that Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) has proposed 20
amendments that attack funding for key transportation projects,
including Sacramento light rail, the rail line to Dulles Airport near
Washington DC, the Miami area's Metrorail Orange Line extension,
Detroit-Ann Arbor regiona
l rail, three Denver area rail transit
corridors, and light rail and commuter rail projects in Utah. 
 Transportation for America says "other projects, both urban and rural,
would be cut in Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, and North
Carolina.  Aside from one small, token bridge project, McCain's hit
list would leave billions in highway earmarks alone. Thank you for
taking action and for your support of NARP! --Ross B. Capon,President &
CEO

Amtrak supporters protest plans to cut budget in half

Blue Water line ridership is up, but some fear service may be scaled back

EAST LANSING - More than two dozen people rallied Saturday morning in front of
the East Lansing Amtrak station, protesting a proposed $3.6 million in cuts to
rail service.

Matt Marderosian, who heads a group called Save Our Trains Michigan, which
organized the rally, said the cuts could cause ridership to fall. That could
then force Amtrak to eliminate passenger trains in the state.

"I'm standing up for the passengers who want to keep the service," Marderosian
said.

The state currently pays Amtrak $7.3 million a year to keep round-trip daily
service on the Blue Water line, which runs from Port Huron to Chicago, and the
Pere Marquette line, which runs from Grand Rapids to Chicago. The Wolverine line
from Pontiac to Chicago isn't subsidized by the state.

Under a budget passed by the Republican-controlled Senate, that funding would
fall to $3.7 million in the next fiscal year. Gov. Jennifer Granholm and the
Democrat-controlled House have proposed cutting it to $5.7 million.

The precise implications of those cuts are still unclear.

"We will run as much service as Michigan can afford," said Amtrak spokesman Marc
Magliari. "But beyond that, a service design based on a lower amount hasn't been
finished, because it's still very unclear what the amount would be."

Ridership on the Blue Water line, which stops in East Lansing, grew by more than
68 percent between 2003 and 2008, serving 136,538 passengers last year.

Part of that growth, Magliari said, came after Amtrak cut the line's service to
Canada and "made it a more Michigan-oriented route and schedule."

From October through July of this year, ridership on the Blue Water Line was
down by about 1.2 percent compared with the same period last year.

Cutting back from daily service wouldn't help those numbers, Magliari said.

"You can lose momentum, because then the passengers aren't sure that the train's
travel days meet their needs," he said. "Daily is easy to remember."

Laura Carolan, who was buying train tickets Saturday, considers Amtrak an
"extremely important" service.Carolan, 30, works for a consulting firm in
Chicago and travels to East Lansing two or three times a month to stay with her
husband, a graduate student at Michigan State University.

"It's convenient, it's clean," she said. "Overall, it's dependable."

State Rep. Lee Gonzales, D-Flint Township, heads the House Transportation
Appropriations Subcommittee. He noted that the budget passed last year only
funded Amtrak for nine months and that additional money was approved over the
summer to maintain service.

"I'd like to see it done upfront," he said. "These are tough times. We've got to
sell more autos, more wind turbines, you name it.

"I do think in the end there is support for Amtrak funding, but sometimes it
takes an extra step to get it done completely."

President Barack Obama has pledged $1 billion for high-speed rail for each of
the next five years, and the governors of eight Midwestern states, Granholm
among them, signed a memorandum of understanding last month, pledging to
cooperate on plans for 110-mile-per-hour rail corridors.

On Monday Granholm will be in Dearborn and Jackson for an announcement related
to high-speed rail in Michigan.

Given such opportunities, Gonzales said, "We have to be the strongest we can in
how we present Michigan for that mode of transportation."

Save Our Trains Michigan is holding a rally on Saturday August 22-2009 at the
East Lansing Amtrak station to show support for the 2 Michigan State funded
Amtrak trains which are the Blue Water and the Pere Marquette.

The Rally will start at 7:30am-12:30pm

food and drinks will be served thru out the day.

SAVE OUR TRAINS MICHIGAN UPDATE





The Michigan Senate has cut Amtrak funding down to $3.7 million for FY 2010


The Michigan House and Governor only want to fund Amtrak at $5.7 million for FY
2010.


Amtrak needs $6.4 million to keep service at where it is today.  Any less would
mean cuts in service or we could lose both the Blue Water and Pere Marquette
Amtrak trains.

Please call your Seantors and Represenatives today, and tell them to fund the
Blue Water and Pere Marquette Amtrak trains at $6.4 million for FY 2010 which
starts Oct. 1st 2009.
