Winton's San Francisco agent, however, had no cars in stock. Jackson eventually found a Winton owner, a banker at Wells Fargo, ready to part with his slightly used Winton for a considerable profit. The car, which Jackson named "Vermont", was a 2 cylinder, water cooled 20 hp car with chain drive and a top speed of 30 mph but lacked a roof or windshield. The wooden bodied car that held ten gallons of gas was painted "Winton red" and trimmed in black, with tufted leather seats. Jackson took out the back sear to make a place to stow his gear. Gathering supplies and summoning his courage, four days after placing his bet Jackson started on his 3,000+ mile journeydestination New York City. With only 150 miles of paved road coast to coastall within city limitsand no gas stations or road maps, the journey through muck and mire required considerable pluck. Soon after starting out, Jackson acquired the bull terrier Bud as trip mascot, fitted him with goggles and let him ride alongside the co drivers. Climbing mountains, fording streams, and answering questions from curious crowds along the way, Jackson and his cross country quest became headline news. "Vermont" overcame the roughest road conditions and on July 20 reached Cleveland where Shanks had arranged for Winton's top managers and a huge crowd to greet it. At Cleveland's Hotel Hollenden, Winton threw a banquet in Jackson's honor and offered to have plant mechanics check the car, an offer which Jackson refused, fearing it would jeopardize his amateur standing.

You can talk with your professors honestly about your strengths and weaknesses and trust their guidance. Place yourself in similar situations with those who are writing and researching projects that interest you. Ask yourself if you would you be happy examining that topic for months or years. That is the reality of what you will do, so do not pick a topic or scope that is so difficult that you cannot stand to work on it every day. If you are heading down the wrong path, it can be devastating. Putting work, time, and money into research that proves wrong for you and your project is frustrating. Taking stock of your research whether changing scope or completely changing plans is OK. You will not be the first to do it. Better to find your sweet spot early in the process than to do so later. Be able to distance yourself from your research and disassociate criticisms of your project from your personal feelings. Not being able to do so is setting you up for many difficulties along the way.

He is separately working with St. Louis County, where Ferguson is located, to make changes to the more than 80 city courts there. In 2010, Griller was chairman of Scottsdales Judicial Appointments Advisory Board, a commit tee specifically created by the city to take politics out of the appointment and retention of judges. During his tenure, the city council opted not to reappoint one associate city judge, who had been criticized by a close political ally of Mayor Jim Lane. The council also initially chose not to retain the presiding city judge, citing budget concerns they did not explain, but later backed off and reappointed that judge to one final two year term. Concerns about political interference and financial pressures exposed in Ferguson also were present in Scottsdale, said Griller, who left the city advisory board a few months after the controversy involving the judges. Even many of the reforms that were recommended in Ferguson, such as independent judicial advisory boards, proved an ineffective foil to political influences in Scottsdale, he said. Beyond revenue issues, city judges also might face pressure to allow questionable practices implemented by the police department or policy priorities of the city council. In Ferguson, it was ticket quotas for police. In other cities it might be crackdowns targeting things such as massage parlors, tall weeds, or unleashed dogs. One of the duties of judges is to be a check on un lawful police conduct, as the DOJ put it in its Ferguson report.
