I'm having the same issue after updating to Windows 8.1, exact same graphics problems as shown above. I am very uneducated when it comes to drivers, and under "Display Adapters" it says "Intel® HD Graphics 4000" which I assume is the Graphics Driver. How do I install an older version of the driver? Should I download an older version online and install that? Any help would be appreciated, thanks! EDIT: I rebooted the software under Software Rendering Mode which seems to have fixed the problem, but I would still like it to run perfectly in Hardware mode so I'm leaving this question up.

From what I understand this 'status upgrade' allows for, if Palestine were to become a recognized state, to claim its present boundaries.

I feel like people say "don't have only high wealth" because they demand far more services than low and middle wealth households which can be a drain on your city's finances. If you have a balanced city with low through high wealth, you can see that most of your tax revenue comes from the lower wealth households because there are simply more of them even though the higher wealth households provide more wealth per house on average. For cities just starting out or developing, adding so many services and parks and whatnot without the broad tax base to sustain it often leads to financial ruin for a city. You, however, have achieved a surplus while only having high wealth households, so the high expense of having so many services isn't draining you. Therefore, you do not have a problem!

The bridges of Cincinnati, Ohio! Cincinnati proper has five road bridges (2 of them interstates, 3 road bridges), one pedestrian bridge, and several railroad bridges connecting it to the cities of Newport and Covington in Kentucky. They range from classically beautiful to beautifully complex to ugly and industrial. Here are the highlights: John A. Roebling Bridge Completed in 1867, this bridge over the Ohio River is the oldest suspension bridge in the country. John A. Roebling, the desginer and namesake of this bridge, went on to design the Brooklyn Bridge in NYC. It originally carried horses and pedestrians but has since been rehabilitated to a two lane road bridge (no trucks). Brent Spence Bridge Completed in 1963, this double decker bridge carries Interstates 71 and 75 over the Ohio River. The top deck carries four lanes south, the bottom deck carries four lanes north. It was declared functionally obsolete a few years into it's existence due to it's poor visibility, no emergency lanes, and the fact that it carries nearly 150,000 more cars and trucks than it was built to hold per day. Ohio and Kentucky are currently planning a replacement bridge, but it will not be completed before 2020. Having been personally nearly rear-ended numerous times on this bridge while driving, I can attest to it's lack of safety. Fun fact: this bridge was opened within a week of President John F. Kennedy's assassination and it was almost renamed after him in his honor Daniel Carter Beard "Big Mac" Bridge Completed in 1977, this iconic yellow arch bridge carries Interstate 471 over the Ohio River. Locals call it the Big Mac bridge after the McDonald's yellow arches logo It offers a visually appealing approach to the city but like the Brent Spence Bridge above carries twice as many cars and trucks per day as it was built to hold. This is my favorite one to drive over! And finally... The Purple People Bridge Completed in 1872, this bridge was originally called the L&N Railroad Bridge and carried trains over the Ohio River. In 2003, after being abandoned for 20 years, the bridge was repainted and opened to solely pedestrian traffic. It carries people between the entertainment centers in Newport and the stadiums in Cincinnati. There are a lot more bridges in Cincinnati (I believe that we have the most bridges of any city besides Pittsburgh) but these are the highlights! Yay bridges!

Hey y'all! I was just wondering how you all place your mass transit (subways, rail, buses, etc.) in SC4 in order to get the most efficient ridership and relieve road congestion. No matter how I do it I hardly get any usage on the mass transit whilst my highways and back roads clog up with cars. :-/ Any help or advice (pictures would be lovely!) is appreciated!

If you get hit by a car while riding a bike it's not going to matter whether you're wearing a helmet or not, you're going to die anyways.

Zero. Too many fish to fry that have nothing to do with the issue, as usual. You can bet the border states will resist. Especially in this political climate where many members of Congress would probably lose their next re-election due to the anti-immigration crowd in their home districts. It's such a hot-button topic in America that it's literally political poison to consider any immigration reform that includes amnesty, unless your home district has a large liberal base.

I just read an interesting article in Time Magazine about the fate of the world's economy resting on the new prime minister of Italy. With their economy being the seventh largest in the world and their debts being 120% of GDP, 2nd in terms of percentage only to Greece, it certainly does seem like Italy could do some damage by defaulting. Interestingly enough, the Italian Parliament has taken a page out of old Rome's playbook and united almost unanimously behind Mario Monti (what a wonderful name!) and given him basically dictatorial powers in order to let him get them out of this crises. I applaud the Italian Parliament for this action, as the regular way of doing things (arguing over silly partisan ideals until it's way too late to fix the problem) could never fix this problem like having one man temporarily take the reigns can. For those of you not familiar with the Ancient Romans' way of handling a crises, when faced with a national crises like famine, invasion, or natural disaster, the Roman Senate would pick a dictator who would have absolute power for six months in order to fix the problem. They rarely used this power, but it worked nearly all the time as having one man in charge eliminates the arguing between different political powers and ideologies. In my opinion, the USA could learn a lot from this.

I've always thought that teacher quality should come from a mixture of student performance, as well as parent, administrator, and other teacher reviews done every semester or maybe even every school quarter. No one has a definite authority on what is quality or not, so all sides should be taken into consideration. On the topic of teacher pay, I've always been a proponent of higher teacher pay. Just think, so many better, smarter people would go into the teaching profession if it simply paid more. Instead, the best and the brightest are lured away to work in industry, or to teach at the college level. We need these people teaching even more of our students to be bright and analytical thinkers. Teachers' pay these days is terrible in relation to what the teachers are tasked with doing. Average starting salary for a teacher in America (after going through four or six year college programs) is $35,000 per year, with a maximum salary of $65,000 per year. That's pitiful compared to what the brightest adults could be making in the business world, or as a researcher or doctor. Perhaps raise teachers' starting salaries to a more appropriate wage, and eliminate congress' and the president's salaries to make up for the difference? But who listens to me anyways...

In Cincinnati, Ohio, our only method of mass transit is the metro bus system which serves the city itself, the entire county of Hamilton, and then up into the outer suburbs of West Chester, Mason, and Batavia. For within the county, it's about a two dollar fare per way (2.50 round trip) or a 100 dollar monthly pass, with double that for going out of the county. Not too bad in respects to other cities, but the system itself is very unreliable with the buses always being late or breaking down all the time. They're implementing a new streetcar system downtown that's causing quite a controversy, mostly because the system altogether will cost 150 million dollars total and will only serve downtown and nowhere else for the next five to ten years. It's a waste in my opinion, but hey, who listens to the taxpayers anyways? I would love to see some sort of more effective mass transit system in Cincinnati rather than just more buses or streetcars. Heavy rail running parallel the two major highways in the city (I-71 and I-75) would be nice in my opinion, as it would alleviate that nasty gridlock on those two highways during rush hour that I must drive in every day. Now I feel like I'm whining, whining over!

For those that say that the Civil War was over states' rights and not about slavery, yes it was and no it wasn't. It was over the states' rights of slavery, more specifically, how to tax slaves as property, should they be counted as 3/5's of a person, etc., but abolition itself was technically not the overall reason. You can't just say that the civil war didn't have anything to do with slavery, slavery played a huge role in the civil war, as did states' rights... about slavery. You can't cherry pick history and you can't cherry pick the constitution. For those who need to brush up on their constitutional knowledge, Article 1, Section 8 says that "Congress shall have the power to... [insert anything here]." The list pretty much states everything, and gives congress to enact those laws. Literally, congress can do whatever the hell it wants with that part of the constitution. This wasn't an amendment people, it was part of the original constitution, just as the Framers wanted (notably, the first thing listed in that section is collect taxes. Are you listening Tea Partiers?).
