Difference between revisions of "Bus travel in Israel"
Revision as of 21:13, 19 June 2011
This article is a travel topic
Buses are the most common form of public transportation for Israelis and travellers alike. There are several bus companies in Israel, including:
The bus transport system is undergoing changes in recent years, as Egged and Dan were phased out of many of their former routes to be replaced by other companies. In general, the new companies offer cheaper fares than the two old companies, which were the only operators for most of the country's history. The quality of service of the new companies varries from very good to poor, not only between companies but also between regions of the same company (for example, Connex' service in Ashdod region is considered very good, but its service in Modi'in gets low marks).
Fares and tickets
Fares are considerably lower than most Western European and North American countries. A single urban ride cost 5.80NIS in Tel Aviv and 6.20NIS in Jerusalem and Haifa, but could be as low as 2.50NIS in smaller cities. Intercity fares don't follow a nationwide fare system, so you can find significant differences between journeys of similar length. The most expensive journey is between Haifa and Eilat, that cost 70NIS one way.
Tickets can be bought from drivers on the bus or at ticket booths in terminals. Exact fare is not necessary, and drivers or cashiers would give change from notes up to 10 times of the fare (so you can use 50NIS note for in-city rides worth 5.20 to 5.60NIS, 100NIS notes for fares over 10NIS, 200NIS notes for fares over 20NIS). Payment by credit card is accepted at ticket booths for fares over 22NIS.
In general, journeys with connection require separate ticket for each segment. Transfer tickets (Kartis Hemshekh or Kartis Ma'avar) are available only in few places (usually when a journey that used to be direct changes and requires connection). One-hour transfer ticket is available on Jerusalem and Haifa urban network, and few other cities.
Multi-ride tickets, giving reduction of 15-20%, are available in the form of two-ride (or return) tickets and so-called Kartisiya for 5 to 20 journeys with the same fare on the same company. These multi-ride tickets can be used by several passengers. Daily pass (Hofshi Yomi) is available in some cities, including Tel Aviv, and there is a wide range of monthly passes (Hofshi Hodshi) designed for commuters. Recently, Egged and Dan introduced a new ticket for students of unlimited travel for the entire semester or academic year.
Reservation is available only for buses to/from Eilat, and can be done at a ticket booth, by phone or internet or text message.
Recently a new smart card, called Rav-Kav [1] (Hebrew: רב-קו), was introduced. Its aim is to integrate the payment system for all the companies in the country thus simplifying the use of public transport and to replace all existing paper tickets.
The card can be charged with pay as you go credit and with special fare cards (called contracts) like a daily or monthly pass or a multi-ride ticket. Once implemented, apart for a regular single fare, no paper cards will be sold (Dan will stop selling paper multi-ride cards and daily/monthly passes on March 1st 2010).
It can be obtained at service points throughout the country (most central bus stations and terminals will have one) and usually it will be issued free of charge (provided you charge it with credit). The card can be charged at any service point or by the bus driver, there is a 20% discount for each charge (by adding 25% to the amount of money that was charged).
For now, the card must be charged separately for each company so a service point or a driver of one company cannot charge the card for another company. In case of a card problem you must contact the company that issued the card.
There are 2 types of cards:
Current problems (06 February 2010):
The level of passenger information provided by the companies is quite poor, especially for those who do not understand Hebrew fluently. Unfortunately, if your Hebrew reading skills aren't up to scratch, it can be quite difficult to get information on bus routes, departure times and fares. Each company is responsible for information on its service, and won't help you if the service you're looking for is operated by another company.
At stations and stops
In many central stations you can find electronic information boards, which provide info on destinations, platforms and times of departures within the next hour. These boards are arranged by Hebrew alphabet, and in big terminals it might take a few minutes until you get the info you need.
Information booths are operated by several companies in some terminals. For example, at Tel Aviv Central bus station you'll find information booths of Egged, Dan and Metropoline only.
Bus stops in cities and on the roads are marked by a yellow metal "flag". The list of route no. that stop there are marked on the flag, generally accompanied by the destinations. If you see it in Hebrew only, check the other side and you might find the English version there. (Sometimes, though, the English version is incomplete.) You may also find route maps posted on the wall of the stop shed. If you need help reading this info or just clueless, don't be shy to ask other passengers.
By phone and internet
Most companies provide information by phone and internet (on their website), but like other aspects of their service the quality varies greatly. Some companies have recently introduced real-time phone information service. Look out for this at the top or bottom of the flag at bus stops.
The Israeli Ministry of Transportation has launched a site which provides information for all bus and train routes in the country:[2]. This is the most useful and authoritative site for Hebrew speakers. From 08/12/2010 they also provide this service via a new call center. See 'Info phone service' below.
Use Bus.co.il to find schedules and line maps for all means of public transportation (including trains). You can also look for a combined route by address. The website is in Hebrew and English (BETA).
Be aware that it is an unofficial website that might contain outdated information and they take no responsibility for the information provided. Also notice that their call center has a premium-rate number (1-900)
A good place to start when looking for a route is Egged's website (English), as it is Israel's largest public transportation company.
Info phone service
A list of bus lines found below shows some of Israel's bus lines. It is intended to be a source of information that may be hard to find on official company websites.
Currently, this section deals mainly with Egged lines; it will expand to include lines of other bus companies as well.
Intercity bus lines are classified to 3 categories: 'Regular' (me'asef), 'Express' (express), and 'Direct' (yashir). The word me'asef means collect in Hebrew. Me'asef bus collects passengers at many stops along its route, which makes it a slow journey. If you travel between major cities you better avoid these buses. Express bus usually travels on long-distance route and might travel at certain sections (or even the entire route) along the same stretch as me'asef bus, but stops at fewer stations. Express bus normally doesn't pick up passengers for short journeys on which a me'asef bus line is available. Direct lines are either pure non-stop routes, or might have few stops in the cities of departure and arrival. There's no supplement for faster buses, and in some cases they might even be cheaper than slower buses serving the same terminals.
Most intercity lines originate or end in a central bus station or terminal (CBS/CBT). The modern central bus stations built in the last 2 decades often combine bus terminal and shopping center in one building. CBS of this type include those of Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, Haifa Hof HaCarmel, Rishon LeZion, Ashdod and Rehovot.
Bus lines are designated by a number, that consist of 1 to 3 digits. Urban and suburban lines usually have 1 or 2 digits, while intercity lines normally have 3 digits. There are exceptions, like intercity lines with 2 digits (those might have a preceding 0 to make it 3 digits), or suburban lines with 3 digits (the 1st digit may be 1 or 2, but not higher). The last digit of intercity lines often suggests its category. The fastest routes usually have digit 0 or 5, while the digits 1 and 3 are associated with slow lines. Digits 2, 4, 6 and 9 are usually express lines.
For example: There are no less than 7 lines connecting Tel Aviv and Beer Sheva. 2 lines are direct: 370 from Tel Aviv CBS and 380 from Tel Aviv 2000 Terminal. 369 and 369א are both express lines, terminating at CBS and 2000 terminal respectively. Lines 351, 353 and 371 are regular lines, going in different routes (351 via Rehovot and Sderot, 353 via Yavne and Sderot, and 371 via Rehovot and Kiryat Gat), and should be avoided unless your destination isn't served by a faster line. 369 and 371 travel the same route between Gedera junction and Kama junction, but the former has fewer stops, except in late evening when 371 is not operating, and 369 becomes a regular bus south of Kiryat Mal'akhi (stops north of Kiryat Mal'akhi are served by 301 Tel Aviv-Ashkelon line).
Night buses
There is night bus service in the Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Haifa metropolitan areas. Night buses are operated by the regular bus operators, but have distinct numbers and routes. The official night bus website contains information in Hebrew. Information in English can be found at the Egged and Dan official websites.
Mehadrin lines
Haredi, or mehadrin routes serve centers of Israel's right-wing Orthodox population, a portion of which have strict rules limiting contact between men and women. Anyone can take these routes, but you are expected to observe certain rules of conduct. Men and women are segregated, usually men sit in the front half of the bus and women sit in the back half, and go in and out through the back door. If you want to sit mixed, do it in the middle. Women especially should dress conservatively (no bare legs or shoulders, and definitely not bare belly).
Advantages of these routes are that they go to each city's main religious neighborhoods, not just the central bus station. (This often saves a local bus ride at the end on trip, especially useful very late at night when local buses have stopped running.) Also, they are cheaper than regular buses (due to generally being fuller). A disadvantage is that they often run very infrequently, so check the schedule first. However, they often run at times other buses do not, especially late at night.
The routes can usually be identified by their endpoints: Har Chotzvim/Atirot Mada in Jerusalem, and Bnei Brak in the Tel Aviv area, rather than the normal central bus stations.
A recent court case ruled that these lines could continue, but that the rules must be entirely voluntary. What that will mean in practice is not clear.
There are no toilets on buses in Israel, and no "frills" at all. If you are desperate for a bathroom break you can ask the driver and he might let you go at the side of the road (particularly when the next stop is a long way away). Long-distance routes, such as Tel Aviv to Tiberias or Kiryat Shmona in the Galilee, make a stop of up to 10 minutes at designated places. There are two stops on routes to Eilat.
The driver will often have the radio playing, even late at night. Many drivers object to cell phone conversations being held immediately behind their seats.
If you want to have the heat or air conditioning adjusted, or have the radio adjusted - well, Israel is not a shy society. Of course, this goes both ways.
Without being unduly alarmist, intra-city buses and bus stops have unfortunately been the targets of suicide bombers in the 1990s and early 2000s. If you see anyone acting suspiciously, or discover an unattended parcel, notify the driver, a soldier or police officer immediately. If you can, avoid standing in large crowds of people in order to further minimise any risk. For the last few years, however, the number of suicide attacks on buses has steadily declined, and the last suicide attack on a bus was 2 years ago.
If you want the driver to tell you your stop, it is best to be clear about it. If you just tell the driver where you want to go, he may ask you at the following stop why you didn't get off. Also, he might forget, so it is often better to ask the passengers.
While Israeli manners may be rougher than in some other countries, they are also more likely to actually help you, with several people debating the best route for you.
Note: This listing is incomplete or outdated. It contains several Egged routes and some routes operated by other companies, but lacks many others. If possible, contact the bus operator (for Egged routes visit http://www.egged.co.il/ or call *2800). Note: buses that travel into the West Bank are often armored to be bullet proof.
From/To Jerusalem
Note: Most buses which leave from Jerusalem Har Chotzvim are mehadrin buses, with the men and women sitting separately.

ABUJA, Nigeria — A man who formerly helped oversee Nigeria's police pension program pleaded guilty Monday to stealing $145 million, but walked out of court a free man after agreeing to a plea bargain that saw him pay only a fraction of it back.
The plea deal given to John Yakubu Yusufu and read out in court sparked immediate anger across Nigeria, a nation where many feel government officials pilfer pension funds and oil revenue without any fear of prosecution. Yusufu will pay only a $14,000 fine, forfeit some properties and pay about $2 million in restitution, something that the nation's top anti-corruption agency immediately criticized.
Justice Mohammed Talba, who agreed to the plea deal in a Federal High Court, sentenced Yusufu to serve two years in prison. However, Talba said Yusufu could pay the fine and the restitution, which also includes turning over 32 properties he allegedly purchased with the stolen money.
In asking for the plea deal, Yusufu's defense lawyer, Theodore Bala Maiyakim, said his client had a serious heart condition.
"He has saved the time of my Lord and being a first offender, with no previous record of conviction, I urge the court to temper justice with mercy and sentence him with least possible terms," Maiyakim asked, according to an account provided by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
Prosecutor Rotimi Jacobs, however, called for Yusufu to serve prison time to "send out the message that the era of stealing public funds with impunity is gone."

Social workers typically know very little about planning and zoning laws, but Nicole Martinez, executive director of Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, has found herself taking a crash course on the subject in order to keep the 50 residents of Camp Hope, a tent community on the Community of Hope property, sheltered from the streets - and severe weather.
"Each year, we lose homeless people to the elements and we didn't want to see that happen," Martinez said.
The Mesilla Valley Community of Hope is a center that serves the homeless and indigent in Las Cruces, offering a wide array of services and resources for those in need.
Camp Hope was founded in November 2011, after Martinez's predecessor at the Community of Hope asked the Las Cruces City Council for permission to temporarily form the tent city, in response to the freezing temperatures of the previous winter, until funding could be secured for an additional homeless shelter.
By March 2012, when Camp Hope was initially supposed to disband, shortly after Martinez took over as executive director of the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope, there was still no funding available to build another shelter. The City Council agreed, however, that Camp Hope has been a benefit to Las Cruces, but for the camp to remain in place, the Community of Hope must work to rezone the area as a planned unit development to allow camping, following Bureau of Reclamation guidelines.
With no experience in zoning and no budget to hire a team of engineers at the Community of Hope, New Mexico State University's Engineers Without Borders stepped in to lend a helping hand, following a suggestion from County Commissioner Karen Perez.
"EWB at NMSU likes to do two big projects each year - one international and one local," said Kenny Stevens, NMSU EWB adviser and associate professor of engineering technology and surveying engineering. "EWB had finished up their last local project in Anthony and we were contacted by County Commissioner Karen Perez, who said she had been working with the Community of Hope and that there might be a good project for us here."
Before Engineers Without Borders became involved, Martinez met with city staff and learned how to develop a concept plan, which includes all potential future uses of the land by the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope. Once her plan was complete, departments from the City of Las Cruces approved the concept plan, with conditions, as did Planning and Zoning Commission.
"I'm a social worker, but I'm getting schooled in planning pretty quickly," Martinez said. "They approved the concept plan, but with 16 conditions. Of those conditions, we are comfortable with 14 of them. The two conditions that would be difficult for us to meet are building permanent bathrooms out there and building a kitchen facility. We don't have the funding to do something like that, which would be over $300,000, and they are also instituting a timeline for us to have it completed in 18 months."
Other requirements from the city are in following Bureau of Reclamation guidelines, such as to lift the tent pad sites up on timber, with gravel or some sort of composite material in the middle so that they can drain. The tent sites must be at a 1.5 percent slope and at least 10 feet apart from one another. In addition, the drainage pond must be able to accommodate the size of the camp, which currently serves 50 people.
Engineers Without Borders is helping with these requirements.
"We've been working with Nicole on the engineering aspects of it - mainly the site plan, how the tents would be located, what the drainage plan would be, what the access would be," said Stevens. "We are just trying to do whatever we can to address the concerns Planning and Zoning and the City Council has for the Community of Hope."
Service learning is important to many students, and those involved in Engineers Without Borders are glad for the opportunity to help their community.
"We are going to design the plots for the tents. We are going to do the runoff calculations and design the retention pond here," said NMSU EWB President Salvador Hernandez. "It feels really cool, especially to use all that we're learning in the classroom, and apply it to real world problems. Engineering is a public service career, so for us, to do this through our school and apply it to our learning skills, this is great."
While the residents of Camp Hope live in tents, they do have access to the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope showers, bathrooms and climate-controlled facility during business hours, Monday through Friday each week. They also have hot meals during the weekdays and bagged meals on weekends. Port-a-potties are available at the camp 24 hours each day. Clients have access to computers, mail, laundry facilities and a variety of classes, along with case managers who can assist in filing for social security, Medicaid, veteran benefits and housing assistance, all in an expedited manner.
"That's the nice part of having this homeless/indigent campus right here, so they can access all kinds of wraparound services," Martinez said.
The Mesilla Valley Community of Hope manages six different housing programs, in addition to Camp Hope. The Gospel Rescue Mission is just across the street from the Community of Hope, but they have time limitations and do not allow pets in their facility, according to Martinez. They simply cannot serve the entire homeless population of Las Cruces.
"The year we've been here, we've been really blessed that the City Council has been so supportive, that the community has been so amazing in its support," said Matt Mercer, a volunteer manager and founding resident of Camp Hope.
"At this stage, it's really important because this has become a legitimate program of the Community of Hope, to really take this step to make sure it's a safe place - not just health and sanitation - but that people are really safe and comfortable out here. Our oldest resident now is 83 and we have a lot of people with chronic disabilities and health problems. I think it makes it more legitimate, not just for the camp, but for the city, to say we're part of this project that's really serving the people," Mercer said.
The next step in the process is for Martinez to evaluate the plans Engineers Without Borders presented to her in December, and to suggest any changes. Her next meeting with the City Council/Planning and Zoning Commission is scheduled at 1 p.m. Monday, Feb. 4. The meeting is open to the public.
According to a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development report, on a single night in January 2012, approximately 633,782 people were homeless in the U.S. Of these, 36,860 of them were considered street homeless, or the unsheltered homeless population.
"It really is hard on you, living out here in these conditions," Mercer said.
With a little help from the community and Engineers Without Borders, Camp Hope will continue to be a place where the homeless in Las Cruces can seek refuge, assistance and a path to being rehoused, reducing the number of homeless one case at a time.
If you would like to help the Mesilla Valley Community of Hope in its quest to meet rezoning requirements, please call Nicole Martinez at 575-523-2219. To contact Engineers Without Borders to assist with donations of materials or labor, email email@example.com.

A few posts ago we featured the split personality of the European yew: lowly hedge yet powerful, magnificent tree. Today we focus on wolfberry (Lycium barbarum or the closely related Lycium chinense), a hedge plant in Berlin whose double life illustrates the slow-shifting cultural landscape of food. Although the Lycium barbarum is native to both Asia and southeastern Europe, it was first introduced into the UK in the 18th century by Archibald Campbell, an enthusiastic gardener and the 3rd Duke of Argyll (hence another common name for the plant is Duke of Argyll's tea tree). From here on, the sprawling bush has grown wild in hedgerows or has been used sporadically around Europe as a wind barrier. The characteristic flower betrays its membership in the infamous Nightshade family, and the mature ovoid red berries suspiciously resemble the toxic Amara Dulcis (Solanum dulcamara) fruits. This is most likely why the ripe berries were regarded as poisonous and wolfberry has primarily been valued for its menial hedging habits. In Germany, the toxicity of the plant was investigated in the late 19th century in a doctoral dissertation published in Erlangen. The thesis claimed that Lycium spp. contain pupil-dilating substances, a hallmark of nightshade plants such as Belladonna (Atropa belladonna). As a result, wolfberry fruits were not considered edible until their recent introduction into health food markets as the much awaited panacea from the Far East: Goji berries.
Goji berries have a long, distinguished history in traditional Chinese medicine, from being used to improve vision, cure infertility and dry cough to loftier claims of extending longevity. The berries are consumed in a variety of ways: eaten raw or consumed as fresh juice, wine or tea. The dried berries are often featured in soups. When goji berries were "introduced" in Europe, they were accompanied by incredible medical claims of fighting cancer, and preventing premature aging and memory loss. Regardless of the validity of these medical claims, the berries are chock full of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Such treasures come with a heavy price tag; you can expect to pay a minimum of 20 euros per kilogram of dried goji berries in most organic health food stores in Berlin. Meanwhile, among German plant aficionados, an atmosphere of confusion ensues as many find it hard to believe that wolfberry, which is considered an invasive weed, is the source of goji berries. Well, dear reader, rest assured! You can gather goji berries all over Berlin, and they are not toxic (for a recent article on the pharmacology of goji berries see here). However, care must be taken not to mistake the plant for the toxic Amara Dulcis. There is also a potential risk of drug interaction when consuming goji berries, in particular with blood thinners such as Warfarin.
We found wolfberry shrubs along the northern side of the S-bahn ring, west of Schönhauser Alle. All the berries were already gone (as you can see in a picture below) and we were quite disappointed, thinking we would have to wait another year for the harvest. On a whim of the moment, we decided to explore a bit further west in Wedding, looking for interesting plants and keeping our eyes open for goji berries as we walked along the small Panke River. As you can tell from the pictures, our optimism was handsomely rewarded by a bowl full of goji berries! The raw berries are somewhat of an acquired taste, as the initial sweetness of the fruit is followed by a potent, lingering bitterness. We are therefore drying the harvested berries (which should reduce the bitterness) and plan on using them in soups and teas!

Seeing is believing for the Village of Lewiston Board of Trustees, which voted Thursday in favor of a new plan for 700 Center St., after meeting at the location and viewing exterior alterations made in contrast to a pre-approved remodel proposal.
"After looking at the building firsthand, we noticed there was a lot of changes," Mayor Terry Collesano said.
Historic Preservation Commission/Planning Board Chairman David Giusiana joined trustees on site, and showed them new windows, doors and a back staircase all installed in contrast to a proposal submitted in February by property owners Jack Lyon and Kelly Wiepert (and approved by both boards).
"We think it should go back to (the Planning Board), because they know what is going on," Collesano said.
His board agreed, and opted to send Lyon back to the drawing board.
Trustees want Lyon, an Oregon architect, to present a new submittal to the Planning Board. They are requesting full drawings and samples, and want wood or wood alternative siding, double-hung wood windows and wooden shutters on the building.
In other words, the Village Board wants something "more in keeping with what was originally presented," Collesano said. "It's completely changed in the back. I never knew it was going to look like that in the back. I saw the plans and I never saw all that."
The Village Board objected to changes made in contrast to the approved proposal, and would not consent to Lyon's request to re-side with vinyl instead of wood.
Lyon was in Oregon when the board reached its decision. When contacted by phone, he wasn't fully aware of what trustees concluded. He said, "It's always been our intent to do a historically sensitive project," and noted his hope is that both sides could find some sort of compromise.
"We don't want to be a project that they decide we need to be (made) an example (for future projects)," he said. "We want to be treated fairly and with the same standards that past projects have been treated with. Hopefully that's the direction that everything's going to go."
When Lyon first presented the idea to renovate 700 Center St., the former Amy K's Mystick Korner on Center and North Seventh streets, he said his plan was to restore the building and convert it into a first floor wine bar and second floor apartments. He was given the OK and, soon after, he added dormers to the building and began expanding the back and east side of the structure.
Since then, Lyon's contractor quit, he learned a bar couldn't operate less than 200 feet from a church (St. Peter's) in Lewiston, and he discovered his building's walls lack sheathing and a secondary moisture barrier.
On Aug. 29, he told the Planning Board that, while his original aim was to restore the 1800s-era building, he didn't budget for new siding. Lyon sought permission to use a Dutch-lap vinyl (at an estimated cost of about $34,000) instead of wood ($50,000 to $70,000 range). He also said his wine bar would be a wine store, instead.
The Planning Board was not in favor of allowing a historically designated building to be sided with vinyl instead of wood. However, they also said they didn't want Lyon and Wiepert forced into a position where they'd have to abandon the project or leave the building vacant and half complete for a prolonged period of time.
After more than one hour of debate, the Planning Board voted in favor of removing the building's historic designation, and agreed to modify Lyon's plan. In a recommendation to the Village Board, members said Lyon could use silver/gray Dutch lap vinyl siding with white, non-vinyl trim. Also, the Planning Board requested a retrimmed front door.
When the Village Board met Tuesday, Lyon told trustees 700 Center St.'s walls are in terrible shape - "Boards are literally falling off the building," he said - and he once again asked for permission to use vinyl to cover the outside wood.
Trustees acknowledged the building's condition, but could not find consensus on a solution. Bruce Sutherland and Nick Conde were in favor of holding Lyon accountable to his original plan: wood for wood.
"When the Planning Board initially approved the project, it was for wood siding and wood windows," Sutherland said. "It was the buyer that said he wanted to keep the significance of the building and restore it."
"I think we should hold his feet to the fire on that," he added. "I mean, we can go along with so much of this for so long. Even though we maybe have made errors in the past and allowed things to happen, that doesn't mean that we should continue to do that. I think we should stop it and do things the right way."
Sutherland said Lyon, "has a responsibility that he agreed to the plan of it and, it's unfortunate, but maybe he should've done some more homework on it."
Trustee Dennis Brochey said it would be difficult to approve lower-cost siding for Lyon when other building owners on Center Street have paid for more expensive restorations.
"If we start letting this go by, the next person to come by might want the same leeway," he said. "We can't pick and choose."
His colleague, Trustee Vic Eydt, suggested using wood on the front of the building, and vinyl on the back and on the new additions. He also asked Lyon to look into grant money to repair the historic building.
Trustees were insistent that the building retain its historic designation, and voted 5-0 to reverse the Planning Board's ruling that the historic certification be revoked.
Collesano said 700 Center St., was the village's first drugstore, and, over time, its owners included prominent Lewistonians Peter Porter, Benjamin Barton and Bates Cooke.
"History is there," Collesano said.
"I'm not in favor of taking the designation off that building," he added.
Collesano said he didn't want the project held up. He was initially in favor of approving Lyon's request for vinyl siding.
"Everyone, I'm sure, that likes to restore old buildings, they want to keep it as close as possible. And if you could use wood siding, they use wood siding. However, in preservation, it's not necessarily a fact that you have to keep the same materials," Collesano said. "There's many buildings that have been done where vinyl siding can be used, and they will allow vinyl siding provided the same character of design and the structure - the looks of it - would be similar to wood."
"That's where the Historical Preservation Committee is supposed to be working with you, and evidently they failed on this by taking the designation away," Collesano told Lyon. "That was wrong."
Lyon said he didn't expect the wood to be in such disrepair. He budgeted for paint, but not for new siding.
"Sure, we'd love to look at putting new wood back to match the existing, but it's so cost-prohibitive," he said. "We were planning on, when we bought the building, 'It's going to need paint.' That's now turned into, 'Oh my gosh, we've got to re-side the building with something.'
"Just the economic viability of the project. We've stalled. We're talking about a difference of $70,000-$80,000 between wood versus vinyl."
Lyon said the average person could not tell the difference between wood and the Dutch-lap vinyl he wants to use.
"I guess I don't see the big difference ... if we match the profile and we're matching all the trim, what the big deal is about putting a different finished material on it - vinyl versus wood," he said. "It's going to look exactly the same."
After more than a half hour of discussions in the conference room, trustees stepped out into the hallway and then into the mayor's office to meet in private and seek a resolution. Unable to do that after almost another half hour, they returned to the conference room and tabled a motion to approve the modified proposal the Planning Board OK'd for Lyon. They opted to meet Thursday at 700 Center St., and render a decision at that point.
On Tuesday, Lyon said he and Wiepert had planned to put between $375,000 and $400,000 into the project, and couldn't afford to spend extra money on siding.
When asked Thursday if he could continue construction at 700 Center St., with wood as his only siding option, Lyon said, "It may leave us at a point where we've got to look at how else we can finance the project. Obviously, we don't have unlimited resources. ... Some people in the village seem to think all developers have unlimited resources. We certainly don't."
Village of Lewiston Historian Pam Hauth suggested trustees, moving forward, require developers to show they have the economic means to finish a project and overcome any potential roadblocks before granting them permission to build or remodel.
She agreed with the Village Board that removing the historic designation was not the best idea.
"There's always a surprise in an old building; you're lucky if there's just one surprise in an old building," she said Tuesday.
The Planning Board next meets on Monday, Sept. 10, at 6:30 p.m. at the Red Brick Municipal Building, 145 N. Fourth St. The Village Board will assemble at 6 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17.

When Stephen Colbert takes over for David Letterman as host of the "Late Show" on CBS next year, he will bring with him a career built on Chicago-style comedy.
He will be the second major late-night talk show host, after fellow Northwestern University alum Seth Meyers (the new host of "Late Night With Seth Meyers" on NBC), who can point back to his formative years in Chicago as some of the most influential in shaping his comedic outlook.
Colbert was among the top contenders rumored for the job since last week, when Letterman announced that he would be wrapping up his tenure sometime in 2015. And though he was raised in South Carolina, Colbert shares a Midwestern sensibility with Letterman that makes him a fitting replacement.
In real life, when not in character, the 49-year-old Colbert is exceedingly polite and down to earth — qualities no doubt reinforced during his years here, first at Northwestern, where he graduated with the class of 1986, and later performing throughout the city in the early '90s.
As an undergraduate, he studied dramatic acting but also performed in a college improv competition organized by Charna Halpern's ImprovOlympic (now known as iO Theater) in a group called No Fun Mud Piranhas that included fellow Northwestern classmate and future Lookingglass Theater co-founder David Schwimmer. Colbert stood out immediately, Halpern recalled: "I thought Stephen was the funniest right away. He was intelligent, he was well-read — he knew a lot about everything. He knew his mythology, he knew his history, he knew his politics. And he was funny."
By design, his Emmy-winning "The Colbert Report" leveraged that intellectual curiosity and quick wit, allowing Colbert to create a form of extended performance art playing an under-informed, concern-trolling, blowhard talk show host in a way that has only underscored the absurdity that passes for contemporary political discourse. He famously coined the word "truthiness" (insisting something to be true regardless of facts or evidence). Washington took notice early on, and at a roast in 2008 President Barack Obama's then-chief-of-staff Rahm Emanuel joked: "I'm scared of Stephen Colbert. I'm not alone. My colleagues in Congress, political operatives, the top minds in Washington, even some of the people in this room — we're all scared of Stephen Colbert." To which Colbert responded: "Rahm Emanuel has given the finger to so many people in this town that he wore the tip off."
In 2010 Colbert spoke before a congressional panel , in character, on the subject of migrant workers. And three years ago he made news when he formed his own super PAC called Americans for a Better Tomorrow, Tomorrow with the specific intent of parodying the influence of super PAC money on elections.
CBS has not announced Colbert's start date or where the show will tape. "The Colbert Report" is based in New York, and it seems likely he would want to stay in the city.
When Colbert takes over for Letterman, however, he will shed his windbag-pundit persona and simply be himself. "I don't think it's going to be a dramatic shift, because he's had the ability to interview people even within the confines of the ('Colbert Report') character," said Andrew Alexander, Second City CEO and executive producer who knew Colbert as a young improviser. "I think there's a lot of Stephen Colbert emanating from that character. It's the wink-wink. But you get a sense of who he is. People get it."
Said Letterman in a statement Thursday: "Stephen has always been a real friend to me. I'm very excited for him, and I'm flattered that CBS chose him. I also happen to know they wanted another guy with glasses."
"Simply being a guest on David Letterman's show has been a highlight of my career," Colbert said in his own statement. "I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave's lead. I'm thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth."
In 2011, Colbert returned to Evanston to give the commencement speech to the assembled new graduates. His distinctive brand of tangy self-deprecation was on display: "In 1986, our commencement speaker was George Shultz, secretary of state, fourth in line to the president. You get me — basic cable's second most popular fake newsman. At this rate the class of 2021 will be addressed by a zoo parrot in a mortar board that has been trained to say, 'Congratulations.'"
After leaving school, Colbert improvised at the Annoyance Theater (a hub for performers, including "Glee" star Jane Lynch) before landing at Second City.
"I remember he was working as a waiter," Halpern said, "and he called me and said he had waited on (Second City co-founder) Bernie Sahlins and asked for a job."
According to Alexander, he made an impact even in that entry-level position: "He was working in the box office and became the highest-selling T-shirt salesman we had. I suspect he was very focused, and it sort of speaks to his mentality: 'This is my job and I'm going to do it well.'"
Alexander described Colbert as the "quintessential Second City player." "That axiom of working at the top of your intelligence was a mantra for Stephen," he said.
At Second City he performed on the company's Northwest stage in Rolling Meadows (the location has since closed) alongside Amy Sedaris, Nia Vardalos ("My Big Fat Greek Wedding") and Vardalos' future husband, Ian Gomez, ("Cougar Town") before moving to the mainstage on Wells Street in 1993 and 1994, where his castmates included Steve Carell and Jackie Hoffman.
"He and Paul Dinello and Amy Sedaris wanted to bring another performer up to the mainstage," Alexander recalled, "and I said, 'It sounds to me like you guys should think about doing your own show.' And they took that advice, and that eventually became 'Exit 57' on Comedy Central."
That short-lived sketch show is what took Colbert to New York, where he would continue to collaborate with Sedaris and Dinello on "Strangers with Candy." He later joined "The Daily Show" as a correspondent before spinning the character off in 2005 with "The Colbert Report."
He can be silly and irreverent, but it is Colbert's courtliness and his profound sense of decency that come through as well, even amid his satirical kabuki — personality traits that he most closely shares with Letterman.
TV critic Ken Tucker once wrote of Letterman's "core of seriousness," a quality that has made him uniquely equipped to handle interviews that ventured beyond the typical celebrity publicity stop. In choosing Colbert — who has shown an almost gleeful enthusiasm for tackling meaty topics with wit and insight — CBS is signaling that its primary late-night talk show will be just as muscular, interview-wise, as it has been under Letterman.
In a talk show landscape where the interviews are frequently the weakest part of the night, this comes as exceedingly good news. That said, Colbert's appointment maintains the status quo in a field where the hosts are almost all middle-age white men.
The announcement comes on the heels of the #CancelCobert debacle, launched by a Chicago-based Twitter activist responding to a poorly judged tweet sent out by someone at Comedy Central, not Colbert himself. Colbert remained above the fray (and even had Twitter's founder on his show to delete the offending account). Letterman himself has deftly handled similarly embarrassing moments and managed to move past them. Colbert's poise no doubt gave CBS the reassurance it needed.
"He is a true gentleman in the classic sense," said Alexander. "Really polite, no drama."
Like Meyers on NBC, Colbert has the key skills from sketch and improv training to sustain a Monday-through-Friday talk show schedule.
"At Second City you're doing eight shows a week, the same show, for about a year," Alexander said. That teaches a performer considerable endurance and how to work past the flubs of a live performance. "It teaches you the discipline of having to do something day in and day out and focus on keeping it consistent every night."

Former prime minister Kevin Rudd says the Assad regime in Syria is on the brink of defeat, and it's time for world leaders to prepare for humanitarian and peacekeeping efforts when the fighting is over.
Mr Rudd has been attending a regional security summit in Bahrain with British foreign secretary William Hague, Middle East foreign ministers and representatives from NATO, the UN and the Syrian national coalition.
As the final battle for the capital Damascus rages on, Mr Rudd says it is becoming increasingly clear the autocratic regime of Syrian president Bashar al-Assad is coming to an end.
"It's impossible to put a specific day and time on that," Mr Rudd told ABC radio on Monday.
"It's critical now that the international community is fully prepared for the consequences that follow on day two."
Preventing reprisal killings, a resurgence of fighting between warring factions and delivering humanitarian assistance will be crucial in the immediate aftermath of the war, Mr Rudd said.
Ensuring weapons of mass destruction, namely chemical and biological weapons, don't fall into the wrong hands will be another major challenge, he said.
Multiple offers had been made to the Assad family to help them escape Syria unharmed.
The UN Security Council must now forge a "robust" resolution to deal with post-conflict Syria, especially now that China and Russia appear to have softened their support for the regime, Mr Rudd said.
"I'm concerned that the United Nations has not got full preparations in place," he said.
But he was confident Foreign Minister Bob Carr had these matters "all in hand", and would use Australia's new spot at the UN Security Council to push the issue.
Australia will take up a two-year temporary seat on the UNSC in January.

National Human Development Report - 2007
This is the sixth National Human Development Report produced for Bosnia and Herzegovina, examining a topical human development issue. The 2007 report analyses the different facets and causes of social exclusion in BiH and provides recommendations for promoting social inclusion. The concept of social inclusion, which is at the heart of EU social policy-making, is very much congruent with both the human development and the human rights-based approaches to socio-economic development. These approaches draw upon economic and social rights analyses and take into account all entitlements relevant for enlarging the choices of individuals to live a decent and meaningful life. In addition, they share a common concern about equity, non-discrimination and inclusive participation.
Year: 2007
Type: National Reports

Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x -- About Establishing Security
From DocWiki
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace, Release 6.x > Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Audio Server > Planning the installation > Establishing Security for the System
The security of your Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system includes physical security, software security, and toll-fraud prevention. Your company may already have guidelines for protecting the security of its computer systems.
Securing the Location
Securing the location of your system prevents unauthorized access to the system technician console port.
Caution! Keep the system in an area protected by a lock or a card-key system.
Securing User Profiles
To prevent unauthorized users from accessing Cisco Unified MeetingPlace over the phone or from a computer, use the security measures described in Table: Methods for Securing User Profiles.
Table: Methods for Securing User Profiles
Use password protection
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace requires passwords for access from a phone or computer. User passwords permit access from a computer, and profile passwords permit access over a phone.
Note: We recommend that you require users to change passwords according to your company's policies for similar systems.
Use hacker lockout
Cisco Unified MeetingPlace offers a "hacker lockout" feature, which deactivates any user profile after a number of consecutive, unsuccessful login attempts. You define the number of attempts. To do so:
Note for Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Release 6.0, Maintenance Release 3: The Max profile login attempts parameter is also used to define the number of consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to start a reservationless meeting that the system allows. If the user exceeds this number of attempts to start a reservationless meeting using a profile number and password, the system will lock out the profile.
Note: This feature can expose the server to a denial of service attack: a hacker simply goes through the list of profiles and locks them all by entering bad passwords, which renders the system unusable until the system administrator unlocks the accounts. Hackers can (and will) avoid the lockout by trying different profile numbers with the same commonly used password rather than the other way around. Consequently, many secure installations do not employ this feature. Cisco recommends that you weigh the costs of possibly making it easier for a hacker to break into an account versus the costs of managing locked accounts and running the risk of critical accounts being locked in an emergency.
Keep the database current
You can also ensure user profile security by maintaining an up-to-date user database. For example, delete or deactivate user profiles of employees who leave the company. For details on removing profiles from the system, see the About Maintaining the User Database.
Use Cisco Unified MeetingPlace SNMP agent
The Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) agent comes preconfigured with communities labeled MeetingPlace-public and MeetingPlace-private. To prevent unauthorized queries, Cisco recommends changing these community names to names chosen by the customer. For details on changing community names, see the Setting Up Community Information.
Securing Meetings
All meetings are protected by meeting ID numbers. For each scheduled meeting, you can determine whether the meeting requires both a password and a meeting ID.
If you do not want end users to see listings for meetings to which they have not been invited, the Display Meeting to Everyone? attribute must be set to No when scheduling a meeting. If this attribute is set to Yes , any profile user can view information about this meeting from the Browse Meetings link in Cisco Unified MeetingPlace Web Conferencing and from the MeetingTime interface.
Table: Methods for Securing Meetings describes ways to secure meetings.
Table: Methods for Securing Meetings
Use meeting passwords
Meeting passwords provide an additional level of security to the meeting. By using the Usage Parameters topic in the Configure tab, you can define the minimum length for a meeting password (Min meeting pwd length).
Maintenance Release 3 and later:
Limit the number of attempts to join a password-protected meeting
Set the Max profile login/mtg password attempts parameter (in Usage Parameters in MeetingTime)
Restrict meeting attendance
The Who Can Attend attribute allows meeting schedulers to restrict meeting attendance to those users with Cisco Unified MeetingPlace profiles or to profile users who are explicitly invited to meetings. Restricting meeting attendance prevents guest users from joining the meeting.
Secure meetings in session
During a meeting, users can access the in-session meeting features and use the following admittance options to control who can enter the meeting:
Restrict access to meeting records
You can restrict users from recording meetings from the User Profile and User Groups topics in the Configure tab. When scheduling meetings you can determine whether access to recordings of certain meetings are restricted to specific users or require a password.
Restrict use of vanity meeting IDs
When users schedule meetings, by default they can assign vanity (custom or common) meeting IDs, such as 1234. Although vanity meeting IDs are easier for meeting participants to remember and identify, you may want to restrict their use. Doing so adds a level of security and prevents unauthorized users or hackers from easily guessing the ID and gaining access to the meeting.
When users are allowed to assign vanity IDs, you can add a level of security by restricting groups or individual users from assigning vanity IDs to meetings that are scheduled by phone. To do so:
Note: To protect meeting IDs that can be hacked easily (such as 1234 or ABCD), create zero-port continuous meetings and assign those meeting IDs. Limit those meetings to invitees only, and do not invite other people. (For more information about continuous meetings, see the About Continuous Meetings.)
Preventing Toll Fraud
Although recent court decisions and Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations stipulate that toll fraud is the customer's responsibility and not the responsibility of the equipment vendors, Cisco Unified MeetingPlace provides several ways to prevent unauthorized use. Because Cisco Unified MeetingPlace is a powerful telecommunications system allowing calls in and out, it is important to take measures to prevent unauthorized access to your system, as shown in Table: Methods for Preventing Toll Fraud.
Table: Methods for Preventing Toll Fraud
Restrict outdialing privileges
The first level of protection against toll fraud is the user profile, which determines a user's outdial privileges and whether they can schedule meetings that allow guests to attend over the Web.
Note: Setting the user profile attribute Can Call Out From Meetings to No does not prevent the user from scheduling a meeting with the Outdial Invitees on First Call attribute set to Yes.
Limit near-term meetings
You can limit the number of near-term meetings (meetings scheduled to occur within six hours of the scheduling time) by setting the near-term limit for the User Groups and User Profiles topics.
Define system-wide restrictions
The next level of security consists of the system outdialing translation tables. The translation tables define which phone numbers the Cisco Unified MeetingPlace system can call. You can configure the system with up to 16 different tables to provide unique capabilities for different user communities on the system. You can also define tables through a PBX.
Monitor usage through reports
You can easily review outdialing usage to look for toll fraud patterns. Cisco Unified MeetingPlace provides both a standard outbound dialing report and the capability to export raw data to third party software programs.

Here's a bit of good news that has us cheering -- former American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson is engaged! The 30-year-old announced last night that Brandon Blackstock, her boyfriend of a year, popped the question, and she couldn't wait to say yes.
On Twitter she wrote: "I'M ENGAGED!!!!!" I wanted y'all to know!! Happiest night of my life last night! I am so lucky and am with the greatest man ever."
Her happiness is infectious, and she's one who so deserves happiness. She's incredibly talented, and has been through so much scrutiny in the public eye, that it's great to see her finding love like this.
The news isn't totally surprising. She and Blackstock, a talent manager who just so happens to be the stepson of country legend Reba McEntire, have been proclaiming their love for one another for some time and recently bought a Nashville house together. Last month she told Ellen DeGeneres, "We are totally going to get married. We love each other. We are totally going to get married one day," she said.
She added that he would have to "put a ring on it at some point." And I guess the point was last night.
And her ring, is amazing! She tweeted out this picture of the yellow canary diamond surrounded by diamonds, saying that Brandon designed it Johnathon Arndt. ""Everyone has been asking about my engagement ring, so here it is. They did an amazing job!"
As for wedding details, it will be interesting to see what they do. She told Ellen: "Honestly, I've never been the girl to plan a wedding. We will totally, probably elope."
But a girl can always change her mind, right? And selfishly, I hope she does. I'd love to see her have a big, gorgeous ceremony complete with all of the works. But whatever they do, they'll be doing it together. Congratulations to them!
What do you think of Kelly Clarkson's engagement news? Do you like the ring?

I grew up with Gundam 0079 and the UC verse, than in recent years I saw 00, Seed and Turn-A that I adored (not so much Destiny, though...), but Wing it's a big no no for me.
Can't get myself to like the Victorian aura with all of its weird concepts of honor and chivalry. That, coped with the funny uniforms, the sudden and not all justified twists of the plot, and some of the most dislikable characters ever (Relena... Dorothy) makes Wing my least favorite Gundam series.
Zechs, Treize, Duo and Noin were interesting characters, though

G-Savior is a movie, technically, not a series, lol. (Same with F91 and CCA.)
But yeah, half the AU Gundam series that have come out seemed to have traded off a majority of GOOD character and/or story development in favor of flashier MS (battles) and whatnot. (Specifically, Wing, SEED, SEED Destiny, and a lot of 00, character-wise.) A bunch of the MS look cool and whatnot, but the characters tended to stay nearly the same for a majority of the series, thus making them quite bland and boring after a short time.
UC and the other half of the AUs (G Gundam, Gundam X, and Turn A Gundam) managed to keep that good balance between character/story development and good MS designs and battles overall.

I actually liked Destiny...until after Kira got ressed. After that it all just went to hell, and it...ended before the climax really. Or maybe the ending was ridiculously rushed despite having the full 50, an extra 51, and even Final Plus didn't help much. And the final battle being stock footage + a couple stills? Eeeewwww.
GX is definitely my favourite at this point. SO underrated, yet manages to do just about everything right. And despite getting cut short by the network, it still somehow managed to end coherently.
Speaking of endings, I thought Zeta ended a bit abruptly, though definitely coherently. I mean sure, lots of people die, tears everywhere...but until you watch ZZ you have no clue what happened after. It's not even MSG where Amuro floats his way over to the lifeboat; at least you can assume the ending there. With Zeta, all that happens is Kamille goes nuts, Fa cries, *CREDITS*. Huh? Not even a shot of the Argama limping off towards Shangri-La? I know it was intended as NTR, but insanity didn't feel conclusive.
As you can tell, the last impression matters the most to me :P

Yeah, I was looking forward to SEED Destiny when I saw a brand new "protagonist" being in the spotlight and Athrun being a major supporting role (like Kamille with Char/Quattro behind him)...sadly...that ended very quickly...

I certainly felt sorry for Shinn, having his role as protagonist sidestepped (to put it nicely), but at the end, I really wanted to see Kira & Lacus more.
Besides, Kira is voiced by Souichiro Hoshi, that pretty much says OP

I wouldn't have minded if Kira didn't STEAL the spotlight, but merely showed up in another support role (like Amuro did in Zeta; came back into the mix, but didn't take over the series while still remaining a semi-important character along with Char. Hell, they even had Beltorchika telling Kamille that Amuro would be more suited for piloting the, at the time, Gundam Mark II).

For the record, when I said "when Kira was ressed", I mean when he was literally resurrected from a nuclear explosion, not his re-introduction to the series. Seriously, one EP you have him with a sword through the proverbial gut, nuclear explosion and everything...and the next his finger is on a comically large panel that says THIS BUTTON TURNS OFF THE NUCLEAR REACTOR LOL.
Really? REALLY?

Those were good times, Neo, the worst maskman ever, in the sickbay pretending to watch the CBS evening News while eavesdropping on Cagali and Kira talk about Athrun's relationship problems like it was an episode of Mobile Suit Degrassi High...I think Kira ate beans and franks that ep, god bless Nuclear fission off-switches...

It wold have been nice if there was a side story focusing on Kira and Lacus & co throughout 3/4 of Destiny with very little involvement of Kira in the main story.
Maybe something like:
Kira / Lacus fighting against Durandal (his involvement kept secret) & Canard Pars and a black op squad made of more survived prototypes of the Ultimate Coordinator Project.
All trying to capture Kira so that they can get their hands on the one successfully developed sample of the Ultimate Coordinator Project, with the ultimate goal of restarting the project. Or we can make things even more crazy by having Lacus pregnant with Kira's child and Canard and his Crew trying to capture Lacus. And all of this while Kira struggles with his own "brothers" who push him to the edge of his physical and mental limits.
Kira in a new MS that is non nuclear, less powerful but more advanced than the Freedom. equipped with some unique piece of technology that allows more creativity from the pilot but limits his options in weaponry, maneuverability and energy. And through taking away the luxury of 'no kill policy' that he got from the Freedom.
And than in the end we can have both stories come together where Kira, Athrun and co reunite. And we can have one gigantic cluster fuck where Kira and co face a much stronger Shinn and Canard Pars and other skilled pilots.. And maybe even another ultimate coordinator.

Funny thing is...Kira really showed little to no real "sign" of being the "Ultimate Coordinator" that really set him apart from others. Sure, he had one "Newtype flash" a.k.a. spatial awareness flash like Mwu and Rau showed during his first sortie in the Strike Freedom, but never again. And he never really demonstrated anything else that really sets him above and beyond every other Coordinator in existence. It sounds more like more BS put in place just as an excuse to say he's "better" than anyone else without ACTUALLY explaining why. x_x

I thought it's been pointed out over and over again that the Ultimate Coordinator project was about creating coordinators exactly as specified by avoiding the uncertainty of a normal development inside a natural womb.
That, in itself, doesn't mean you get a superior coordinator. It could be as simple as getting the right eye color that the parents wanted.

At the very least, that's one of the things.
But with the way they talk about it in the series and side-stories, they make it seem like some ultra-significant thing far greater than it is.
Like with Canard going all out of his way, initially, to find and defeat Kira just to take the title of "Ultimate Coordinator".

In GS and GSD, only four people had newtype abilities. I think everybody else who could have have newtype abilities died, meaning that team Mwu was part of. This is excluding the side-stories which I'm not too familiar with.

SEED-wise, it's simply "spatial awareness", lol.
But as far as we know, there's only been around 5 confirmed pilots with such an ability; Mwu, Rau, Rey, Prayer Reverie (Astray), and and Morgan Chevalier (Astray). And 3 of them are merely clones, lol. Everyone else was a normal Natural, including the original pilots for the GAT-X units at the beginning.
So far, I haven't really seen any explanations for Kira's little flash.
Heck, there's a lot of info lacking for a lot of things for SEED/SEED Destiny.

I mean Kira and Canard are products of the Ultimate Coordinator Project and are much more skilled, have more talent, and better overall ability compared to regular coordinators.
Look at Kira, unlike Athrun or Shinn, he's never had military training or even shot a gun before he piloted the Strike and yet he's able to pilot the Strike well enough to fend off an beat 4 other gundams, then go on in the freedom to win a war and then the strike freedom, after 2 years of no piloting at all, to god mode the entire war a second time.
There's definitely something different about Ultimate Coordinators in terms of potential at least. Maybe they were trying to create a kind of Newtype, which is why Canard was a failure and Kira Yamato was a success, considering he has both seed and newtype flashes.

Really, I think if Kira has newtype flashes and some other newtype awareness, by sensing Mwu and Rau, they should explain it a bit.
SEED and the "spatial awareness" seem like separate things, that's why although like 5 people have confirmed SEED, only Kira has newtype flashes.
They never really explained what SEED was supposed to do. It's supposed to aid in the evolution of humanity or something but yet we haven't seen anything except giving better piloting skills.
If they ever make another CE, they need to explain SEED and newtypes.

1.) Him blindingly shooting his beam rifle to the point of running out of energy while running away.
2.) Support from Mwu and/or the Archangel and damaging their mothership and forcing them to retreat.
3.) Them running out of power and being forced to retreat because of trying to fight him, Mwu, and the Archangel all at once.
...early on, if it weren't for some combo of the 3, he would've already been killed or captured. (As Athrun had him caught were it not for Mwu's intervention and Yzak had him on the ropes easily too.)
Then again, they seemed to pretty much quit on SEED Destiny halfway through and stopped trying to rationalize a lot of things and just did it to look cool or something. ~_~

Bullied Vietnamese Man Receives Donated Surgery at Kenmore Mercy | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Kenmore Mercy Hospital is helping to make a difference in the life of a young Vietnamese man who was bullied for years because of a facial deformity. The surgery which took place the morning of October 3, is also made possible by Jeffrey Meilman, MD, and the Hope for Tomorrow Foundation.
Ngon Trung Ngo traveled from Ho Chi Minh City to Buffalo to have a donated excision of a large, dark area covering and disfiguring his face with the grafting of areas with new skin with a value of $40,000. This congenital, hairy nevi from birth covers one-third of Ngo's face.
Ngo was picked on at a young age at school because of this facial deformity, was made fun of and called "two faces" and "masked face." He was discriminated upon by Vietnamese society and even contemplated suicide. Ngo often wears a mask to hide his birth defect when he is out in public.
"Our mission is to serve those in need and we are happy to be able to help individuals like Ngon, who might not otherwise have access to this type of care in their homeland," said James Millard, President & CEO of Kenmore Mercy Hospital.
Ngo is hosted by the Hope for Tomorrow Foundation, Vietnamese Community of Western New York President Manh Le and his assistant Tom Tran. His arrival was made possible by the efforts of the office of United States Congresswoman Kathy Hochul, working through many nights with the assistance of her aide Matthew Bradfuhrer in order to obtain a very difficult visa approval.
Dr. Meilman, a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon and his Hope for Tomorrow Foundation helps children and young adults in medically underserved countries throughout the world and right here in Western New York who receive needed surgery to correct facial deformities and other physical conditions caused by birth defects or injuries. During the past decade, the organization, which had been recognized by Pope John Paul II for its charitable work, has helped more than 2,000 children and young adults from around the world.

FT. MYERS, Fla. (May 8, 2014) – After being one out away from capturing its fifth straight win Wednesday night at Furman, the ETSU baseball team looks to start a new streak as the Bucs gear up for a three-game conference road set beginning Friday night at Florida Gulf Coast's Swanson Stadium.
Friday – 6:30 p.m. – Game No. 48
LHP Jared Burton (1-1, 6.35) vs. RHP Michael Murray (11-0, 1.51)
Saturday – 2:00 p.m. – Game No. 49
RHP Jimmy Nesselt (6-4, 4.00) vs. RHP Brady Anderson (3-2, 2.83)
Sunday – 1:00 p.m. – Game No. 50
LHP Jamin McCann (3-3, 3.99) vs. RHP Jack English (3-3, 2.76)
Despite leading for eight and a half innings, the Bucs couldn't register the 27th out as Furman third baseman Chris Ohmstede belted a two-out, three-run walk-off home run to carry the Paladins past ETSU, 9-8, on Wednesday night in Greenville.
Offensively, the Blue and Gold recorded 16 hits as six Buccaneers totaled multi-hit games. Jeremy Taylor (Fayetteville, Ga.) and Chris Riopedre (Miami, Fla.) both finished with three hits, while Chris Cook (Kingsport, Tenn.), Clinton Freeman (Jonesborough, Tenn.), Tyler Roach (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Jordan Sanford (Powell, Tenn.) all posted two-hits each. Cook extended his hit streak to 16 straight games following his two-hit performance.
As a team, ETSU went 6-for-14 with runners in scoring position and left 12 runners stranded.
On the mound, six Buccaneer hurlers were used as red-shirt senior right-hander Derek Bushey (Richmond, Va.) got the start, while sophomore southpaw Josh Jacques (Rollinsford, N.H.) and freshman left-hander Jamin McCann (Kingsport, Tenn.) both recorded scoreless appearances. Jacques faced the minimum in the fourth and fifth innings and McCann retired the three hitters he faced in the seventh.
Unfortunately, the Paladins held ETSU to three hits in the final three innings and scored six unanswered runs to cap off the comeback, marking the Bucs' second straight walk-off setback on the road.
Just like the Bucs, FGCU (32-18, 15-6 A-Sun) had its four-game win streak snapped as the Eagles fell at No. 5 Miami, 7-3, Wednesday night in Coral Gables.
FGCU features a strong balance of pitching and hitting as the Eagles rank 11th nationally in hits (511), while their weekend pitching rotation has totaled a 2.38 ERA, which ranks 13th in the country. FGCU also ranks seventh nationally with 103 doubles and its pitching staff ranks 18th with a 2.71 strikeout-to-walk ratio.
The Eagles are led by sophomore right-hander Michael Murray as he ranks 29th with a 1.51 ERA (15 ER/89.2 IP) and he also leads the country with 11 wins. At the plate, red-shirt freshman second baseman Jake Noll is third nationally with 82 hits and is 25th with 22 stolen bases.
Sixteen of FGCU's 32 wins have come at home, but the Eagles are only 5-4 in A-Sun games at Swanson Stadium.
The Eagles lead the all-time series, 13-6, but ETSU has won six of the last 10 meetings.
Five of the last 10 games have been decided by two runs or less, while all three games last season were one-run decisions – FGCU won two of three at Thomas Stadium.
ETSU is looking to secure its second straight series win in Ft. Myers as the Blue and Gold took two of three at FGCU in 2012.
Live stats will be available for this weekend's series via StatBroadcast by visiting FGCUAthletics.com. Fans can access live stats on their computers, mobile devices or tablets.
Live video will be provided free of charge on ASun.TV.
Live audio will also be offered by visiting FGCUAthletics.com.
Live updates will also be posted on Twitter by following @ETSUAthletics and @ETSU_Baseball.
ETSU returns home to close out regular season play with four straight home games, beginning Tuesday night against Appalachian State. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. at Thomas Stadium.
