To increase night sky access, improve nighttime visibility, and reduce the consequences of development for wildlife and people.
Meet the Light Pollution Reduction requirements for the following:
- One option in Exterior Lighting for Residential Areas
- Exterior Lighting for Circulation Network
- Uplight and light trespass requirements in Exterior Lighting for All Other Areas
- Covenants, Conditions, and Restrictions.
Divide the project into model lighting ordinance (MLO) lighting zones LZ0 to LZ4 based on site-specific characteristics using the definitions of lighting zones provided in the Illuminating Engineering Society and International Dark Sky Association (IES/IDA) MLO User Guide.
Meet the requirements below for each lighting zone within the project.
Exterior lighting for residential areas
Meet either Option 1 or Option 2 for all exterior lighting in new residential construction and residential buildings undergoing major renovations. Existing residential construction is exempt.
Option 1. BUG rating method
Each fixture must have a backlight-uplight-glare (BUG) rating (as defined in IES TM-15-11, Addendum A) of no more than B2-U2-G2.
Option 2. Calculation method
Meet the requirements of Option 2 in Exterior Lighting for All Other Areas, below.
Exterior lighting for circulation network
For any portions of the circulation network not governed by national, state, or other superseding regulations, do not install street lighting unless conditions warrant the need for street lighting.
New and existing street lighting luminaires must not emit any light above 90 degrees (horizontal), based on the photometric characteristics of each luminaire when mounted in the same orientation and tilt as specified in the project design or as currently installed.
Exception for ornamental luminaires: Using the lowest MLO lighting zone for immediately adjacent properties, meet the requirements of the IES/IDA MLO, Table H.
Exterior lighting for all other areas
Use either the BUG method (Option 1) or the calculation method (Option 2) to meet uplight and light trespass requirements. Projects may use different options for uplight and light trespass.
Option 1. BUG rating method
Do not exceed the following luminaire uplight ratings, based on the specific light source installed in the luminaire, as defined in IES TM-15-11, Addendum A.
Table 1. maximum uplight ratings for luminaires
|MLO lighting zone
|Luminaire uplight rating
Option 2. calculation method
Do not exceed the following maximum percentages of total lumens emitted above horizontal.
Table 3. maximum percentage of lumens above horizontal
Light trespass
Option 1. BUG Rating Method
Do not exceed the following luminaire backlight and glare ratings (based on the specific light source installed in the luminaire) as defined in IES TM-15-11, Addendum A, based on the mounting location and distance from the lighting boundary.
Table 2. Maximum backlight and glare ratings, by lighting zone
A lighting boundary (or boundaries) is defined as the perimeter of each lighting zone within the project boundary. A lighting boundary can be modified under the following conditions:
- When the property line is adjacent to a public area that is a walkway, bikeway, plaza, or parking lot, the lighting boundary may be moved to 5 feet (1.5 meters) beyond the property line;
- When the property line is adjacent to a public street, alley, or transit corridor, the lighting boundary may be moved to the center line of that street, alley, or corridor;
- When there are additional properties owned by the same entity that are contiguous to the property, or properties, that the LEED project is within and have the same or higher MLO lighting zone designation as the LEED project, the lighting boundary may be expanded to include those properties.
Orient all luminaires less than two mounting heights from the lighting boundary such that the backlight points toward the nearest lighting boundary line. Building-mounted luminaires with the backlight oriented toward the building are exempt from the backlight rating requirement
Option 2. calculation method
Do not exceed the following vertical illuminances at the lighting boundary of each lighting zone in the project (use the definition of lighting boundary in Option 1). Calculation points may be no more than 5 feet (1.5 meters) apart. Vertical illuminances must be calculated on vertical planes running parallel to the lighting boundary, with the normal to each plane oriented toward the property and perpendicular to the lighting boundary, extending from grade level to 33 feet (10 meters) above the height of the highest luminaire.
Table 4. maximum vertical illuminance at lighting boundary, by lighting zone
Exemptions from uplight and light trespass requirements
The following exterior lighting is exempt from the requirements, provided it is controlled separately from the nonexempt lighting:
- specialized signal, directional, and marker lighting for transportation;
- internally illuminated signage;
- lighting that is used solely for façade and landscape lighting in MLO lighting zones 3 and 4 and is automatically turned off from midnight until 6 a.m.;
- lighting that is integral to other equipment or instrumentation that has been installed by the equipment or instrumentation manufacturer;
- lighting for theatrical purposes for stage, film, and video performances;
- street lighting;
- hospital emergency departments, including associated helipads; and
- lighting for the national flag in MLO lighting zones 2, 3, or 4
Covenants, conditions, and restrictions
Establish covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&R) or other binding documents that require continued adherence to the above requirements.

Lloris: England favourites in Group D
France goalkeeper Hugo Lloris believes England will be the team to catch in Group D of Euro 2012.
England were drawn alongside France, Sweden and co-hosts Ukraine following Friday's draw in Kiev.
And Lloris admits Fabio Capello's side are the favourites to top Group D.
"England are one of the biggest nations in football. They'll start as favourites in the group," said the Lyon player.
"Behind England, Ukraine, Sweden and France will fight for second place.
"If that's the case, so much the better, but everything will be decided on the pitch. We'll have the time to prepare properly before the tournament."
Meanwhile, Former England captain Paul Ince was pleased with the draw.
Ince told BBC Radio Five Live: "Overall we have to be delighted. It is a fantastic group for us.
"When you look at the groups we have had, in qualification and in the World Cup, the gods have been smiling down on us and they have certainly done it again tonight.
"If we can't get ourselves through that group we have only got ourselves to blame.
"On paper we should win all those games but the French are always tough, Ukraine at home will have loads of fans behind them - the atmosphere will be crazy.
"On paper it looks easy but I am sure Capello will not take anything for granted."

LANCASTER -- Town Administrator Orlando Pacheco is scheduled to be out of a job in six months, after a heavily-attended New Year's Eve selectmen's meeting Tuesday.
Over a chorus of jeers from the audience, Selectmen Jean Syria and Susan Smiley voted not to renew Pacheco's contract in a quick 2-1 vote. Selectman Stanley Starr opposed the motion.
There was no discussion on their motivation for the vote, although both had clashed recently with Pacheco over a $217 airline-ticket reimbursement for an energy conference. They claimed he wouldn't provide information about the conference while he insisted he answered all the questions they asked.
Pacheco attended the meeting, but did not make any public statements. He has been town administrator for more than 10 years. His contract ends June 30, and requires sixth months notice if it is not renewed.
Starr voted in opposition to the non-renewal of Pacheco's contract and made a motion to postpone the meeting to Jan. 6 "to allow public input for a very important subject." But that would have pushed the vote inside the aforementioned six-month window.
"I only have two words: I'm disappointed," Starr said afterward.
Members of the audience shouted and clapped after the vote.
Syria fled out one door with Police Chief Kevin Lamb beside her for protection, saying a crowd member tried to grab her. Smiley went out another door through the opposite end of the building.
When asked for comment, Syria referred all questions to town counsel.
During the meeting, Syria initially tried to make a motion to not renew Pacheco's contract herself, but audience members shouted that she can't make motions as chairwoman. Syria immediately declared she would step down as chairwoman to do so, but Smiley ended up making the motion.
The meeting was posted as a possible joint meeting with the Finance Committee. Chairman James E. Riley said selectmen sought no input from the Finance Committee on the issue. He said the panel did accept public comments about the decision to not renew Pacheco's contract.
Those comments were entirely in support of Pacheco, with residents and business owners portraying him as helpful and someone who took Lancaster in a positive direction.
Lancaster resident Eugene Christoph said: "Shame on the Board of Selectmen for doing it in the dark with no public input. Shame on the town of Lancaster for ever electing those two, and we'll take care of that at the next election."
Town Clerk Sue Thompson called the meeting a "farce" and accused Syria and Smiley of discussing the issue in private. She encouraged residents to apply to the state Attorney General's Office as a violation of Open Meeting Laws.
"It's obvious that two members had met together in an illegal meeting," she said.
Last week, Thompson posted the entire text of an email from Syria to Pacheco on notice for Tuesday's meeting on the town website. In that email, Syria told Pacheco if he didn't post the meeting to discuss the renewal of his contract he would be suspended and possibly terminated.
Starr also spoke during the public comment. He was one of several people to mention a possible recall petition for Syria and Smiley and said he's going to explore options to see if Pacheco's job can be preserved sometime in the next six months.
"Let's see if there's something that can be done," said Starr.

When I was a teen-ager, I wrote a science-fiction story about Leonardo da Vinci. In it, a young art historian becomes fascinated with Leonardo's otherworldly paintings, with their strange rocky backgrounds, unplaceable landscapes, and enigmatic not-quite-human saints, their single fingers forever pointing strangely upward. To make a long, and rather shamelessly Rod Serlingish, story short, the art historian eventually discovers, in a previously unknown codex, that Leonardo was an alien, that the rocks were the landscape of his native planet, and that the fingers were pointing longingly back home.
Sensing, sadly but with characteristic prescience, that the market in occult stories involving strange codes hidden in Leonardo's works was essentially nil, I left the story unfinished; just recently, a new pair of Leonardo books brought it to mind. The basic notion—that Leonardo is so weird that he might as well be from another planet—turns out to be hardy enough to have survived even a century of scholarship aimed at replacing romantic, otherworldly Leonardo with historical Leonardo, a man of his time. Most one-of-a-kind artists turn out, after study, to be, in another sense, merely one of a kind. William Blake, if not exactly normal, was, after Robert Rosenblum placed him with his friends Fuseli and Flaxman, more obviously part of a group, one of many lineloving, mystical neoclassicists. Bosch may still look strange to us, but, now that art historians have explained that some of his Spanish patrons thought his nightmares were funny, or even pious, we at least understand how they were originally received.
Leonardo remains weird, matchlessly weird, and nothing to be done about it. He put wings on pet lizards and called them dragons; scribbled pyramidal parachutes in the margins of manuscripts which, more than five hundred years later, turn out to work perfectly; dashed off a letter to the Ottoman sultan offering to design a bridge that would span the Golden Horn (and the bridge he sketched, built elsewhere a few years ago, in a scaled-down version, not only is perfectly engineered but anticipates the look of Eero Saarinen's T.W.A. terminal). He drew the Deluge, imagined the modern mortar, and fixed a half smile in the world's imagination, and there was no one else around doing anything like it. This keeps him a cult figure; a new series of books promises to teach you "How to Think Like Leonardo"—though, given that what his style of thinking got him was the inability to finish almost a single piece of work, learning how not to think like him might be more useful—and, of course, there is the Leonardo whose code is at the center of the best-selling thriller.
Two new and serious studies attempt the work of making Leonardo earthbound again. "Leonardo" (Oxford; $26), by the Oxford art-history professor Martin Kemp, is a summary of a life's research; "Leonardo da Vinci: Flights of the Mind" (Viking; $32.95), by the biographer and historian Charles Nicholl, is a popular account, dense with social history and rational, high-hearted speculation. The simultaneous appearance of the books doubtless created two anxious publishers, but they complement each other almost perfectly: Kemp's is Leonardo seen from the inside out, Nicholl's from the outside in. Kemp explains Leonardo's principles of design and his theory of the world from an intense knowledge of his mind and drawings; Nicholl shows where his ideas came from and who paid to subsidize them, through a broad rendering of his life and times.
Kemp's book is less a proper biography—he offers no extended account of Leonardo's illegitimate birth to a peasant's daughter, his apprenticeship in Florence to the sculptor Verrocchio, or his subsequent lifelong wanderings in the courts of Milan and France—than a series of intense, learned meditations on Leonardesque themes. Setting aside the wow! factor of Leonardo's discoveries and anticipations, Kemp tries to define what Leonardo thought he was doing, and why. He argues, convincingly, that Leonardo was constantly searching for a universal system of proportion—not merely a system of aesthetic proportion, like the famous Golden Mean, but a system of proportion that would explain, as Newton's inverse-square rule of gravity did, two centuries later, the fundamental workings of forces. "Leonardo was the first to tie the artist's notion of proportional beauty into the wider setting of the proportional action of all the powers of nature," Kemp writes. Leonardo accepted the Aristotelian theory that all motion begins with an impetus. (The fact that, as Galileo and Newton showed, objects would go on moving forever if something didn't stop them remains counter-intuitive, even today.) But Leonardo swiftly saw that the theory must be wrong: things didn't go far enough fast enough. He never resolved this problem, Kemp thinks, because he didn't have the math for it, but he never stopped searching for a resolution.
His thought processes in this search were, crucially, visual, not mathematical. He had the gift, quite distinct from numeric reasoning, of seeing abstract form; he would have aced the sections on standardized tests asking the student to make a mental rotation of a cube or a tetrahedron. His imagination was geometric in the sense that he thought that a small vocabulary of recurring shapes was produced whenever an impetus—the force that drives water forward in a deluge, that drives the arrow from the crossbow—was deflected by the natural fields of air and earth and water.
This constant search for basic, rhyming, organic form meant that when he looked at a heart blossoming into its network of veins he saw, and sketched alongside it, a seed germinating into shoots; studying the curls on a beautiful woman's head he thought in terms of the swirling motion of a turbulent flow of water ("Note the motion of the surface of water, which conforms to that of the hair," he wrote, in his looking-glass script); and, studying the swirling tendrils of a sea anemone, he turns them into something as dressed up and willed as a fashionable woman's hairdo. He even doodled churches that resembled the forms of shells and flowers. (If he seems to anticipate any modern science, it is D'Arcy Thompson's discovery of basic algorithms of biological structure in "On Growth and Form.")

By Catherine Dunn
FORTUNE -- For decades, it was one of the iconic images of childhood: the youngster dispatched to school with lunch money squirreled tightly in his or her pocket or backpack. But perhaps for not much longer: As inevitably as slide rules once gave way to calculators, school cafeterias are embracing technological change.
In recent months, the city of Chicago became one of the largest school districts to sign up for electronic payments. Beginning next year students in the Windy City won't have to remember their lunch money -- just a PIN or an ID card that's linked to an online account, where parents can choose to automatically refill low balances, set spending controls, and review what food their offspring purchased that same day. Chicago joins public schools in New York City; Fairfax County, Va.; Denver; and San Antonio, and others in the latest electronic trend.
For parents and cafeteria managers in public school districts throughout the U.S., this type of payment service is a boon of convenience. For Heartland Payment Systems, the purveyor of point of sales systems, nutrition-related software, and online payment services in about 29,000 of the country's 100,000 schools, lunch money is helping drive between $45 and $55 million in annual sales at the $2 billion (revenues) company.
MORE: Hey taxi company, you talkin' to me?
Heartland built its footprint in just the past two years by making a series of acquisitions. As a result, it owns two similar platforms -- MyLunchMoney.com and MySchoolBucks.com -- which allow parents to pay for and monitor lunch expenditures electronically. They can also be used to pay for things like books, field trips, and other school activities.
To win Chicago's 600 or so schools, the company beat five other competing bidders, largely by offering a cloud-based software, and one that can be highly customized to suit such a big district. The Chicago schools dish out 74 million meals a year, but until now, they've relied on a payment system of cash, meal tickets, and sales totals entered on Excel spreadsheets. "It's a very manual system, it's very cumbersome, and it's fraught with potential for error," says Leslie Fowler, executive director of nutrition support services for Chicago Public Schools. She estimates that the district loses $1.5 million per year in uncollected meal charges.
Fowler expects that the new point of sales terminals and related technology will make quite a difference. "Being able to track who ate, what they ate, and when they ate -- unequivocally -- will help close the gaps," she says.
MORE: BlackBerry plans to go private
That goes to another important reason why school nutrition departments rely on this kind of technology: to meet stringent government compliance requirements, such as tallying the number of free and reduced-price meals they serve, and analyzing the nutritional content in cafeteria food. In order for schools to be reimbursed for their nutrition costs, they have to report to state agencies and the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
Heartland's real growth strategy, however, is focused on moms and dads. Once the company has a foothold in a school system, executives believe they can appeal to more and more parents simply by providing a better way to pay for lunch. "We knew if we did that, parents would adopt it because of the ease of use," says Michael Lawler, Heartland's president for strategic markets, who oversees the company's school solutions group.
Just ask thousands of parents in Volusia County, Fla., a school system of around 61,000 students that became a Heartland client when the company bought up an IT provider called School-Link Technologies. The central Florida school district first piloted MyLunchMoney.com back in 2008. Parents who sign up for the optional service pay a fee -- typically $1.95 -- each time they put money on the account. (Some school districts absorb that cost, but many, including Volusia County, let parents cover it). Even if parents choose not to buy meals using MyLunchMoney, they can still use the site to view their child's purchases for free.
MORE: 11 reasons why iOS7 is the best update yet
Today, more than 10,600 Volusia users are registered with the service, and more than 7,400 use it to make payments, including Valerie Hansen, coordinator in the school system's nutrition department, and a mother of two. "Even as a district administrator, I'd forget to write a check," she says. Now she simply sets a weekly budget online for her 14-year-old daughter, who is allowed to choose how she spends it.
Hansen's office, meanwhile, values that the payment-by-PIN keeps cafeteria lines moving and makes it easier to close out the register at day's end. "We love it because it's less cash that our schools are handling," says Hansen.
Presumably, students armed with e-funds no longer have to worry so much about that proverbial childhood trauma: having bullies take your lunch money. For her part, Hansen is pragmatic when asked if her children love MyLunchMoney.com as much as she does. "It's really no difference," she says. "It's, 'Mom's paying.'"

Apple to work with critics on pollution audits
Lintao Zhang/Getty Images
It was announced this week that the same environmental organization that charged Apple's Chinese production partners with poor pollution practices is going to be working with the digital hardware maker to audit operations at one of the company's suppliers.
Historically, Apple was not been forthcoming with their manufacturing partners. This new agreement will mark the first time the company has ever revealed the names of those partners, making it easier for environmental organizations to track the sustainability (or lack thereof) in the process. In this case, an unnamed maker of printed circuit boards will be the focus of an environmental review slated to start in "the next few weeks," according to CNET.
"We are happy Apple is now opening its door," said Shen Xunan, a project officer at the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs in Beijing to Business Week. After the organization criticized Apple last fall for working with suppliers who endangered public health through pollution, the company has made a very public effort to remedy the situation. Apple has yet to comment on the any of their environmental efforts outside of information provided on the company's website.
America set to tax Chinese solar panels
Sean Gallup/Getty Images
With U.S. solar usage at an all-time high, heavily discounted solar hardware from China has become a contentious issue. As we recently reported, a trade complaint made by the Coalition for American Solar Manufacturing hoped to offset any financial advantages those Chinese companies might enjoy.
It was announced this week that after a review, the U.S. Commerce Department will indeed tax Chinese solar panels coming into America, at a rate ranging from 2.9 to 4.73 percent.
"Today's announcement affirms what U.S. manufacturers have long known: Chinese manufacturers have received unfair ... subsidies," said Steve Ostrenga, the CEO of Helios Solar Works (which is a part of the aforementioned coalition) on MSNBC.com.
As reported by the L.A. Times, the rate is not nearly as high as many had hoped, but there is a chance for much stiffer penalties in May if it's found that Chinese suppliers had been glutting the American market with solar panels at below-cost prices.
U.S. solar panel usage through the roof
Lauren Sommer for NPR
Despite signs pointing to what could have been a grim year, 2011 was booming for American solar industries. According to a new GTM Research, solar panel installations more than doubled last year, with 1,855 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity going up as opposed to a mere 887 megawatts in 2010. That's 109 percent growth, for those keeping score at home.
"In 2011, the market demonstrated why the U.S. is becoming a center of attention for global solar," said Shayle Kann, the managing director of the GTM Research's solar practice in a press release. "It was the first year with meaningful volumes of large-scale PV installations."
"We went from an industry that was installing megawatts a year to an industry that's installing gigawatts," adds Rhone Resch, president and chief executive officer of the Solar Energy Industries Association to the New York Times.

Lintao Zhang/Getty Images
Apple, the company that makes a large number of your (um, our) cell phones and computers, is in need of a little good news. The digital giant has taken a big PR hit of late, with reports of questionable employee conditions in their Chinese factories resulting in this week's ABC "Nightline" expose.
Yesterday, Apple took to the company website to announce something decidedly more upbeat: details of their massive new data center in Maiden, North Carolina that will be primarily powered with renewable energy. CNET reports that the 500,000-square-foot facility will cost a cool $1 billion, and has already earned LEED's highest award – a Platinum certification – for what Apple has planned.
"We know of no other data center of comparable size that has achieved this level of LEED certification," says Apple's website. "Apple's goal is to run the Maiden facility with high percentage renewable energy mix, and we have major projects under way to achieve this — including building the nation's largest end user-owned solar array and building the largest nonutility fuel cell installation in the United States."

It's a rare occurrence when bold design is married to a car that is accessible to shoppers on a budget. The Hyundai Veloster is that rarity among hatchbacks, with evocative styling, a unique asymmetrical three-door layout and respectable performance. Yet the Veloster still achieves fuel economy figures that rival more commonplace economy cars.
Built upon the same basic architecture as the Hyundai Accent, the Veloster shares many of the same advantages and drawbacks. But when it comes to the bottom line, the Hyundai Veloster ranks highly for its feature-rich content, friendly price and appealing overall character.
Current Hyundai Veloster
The Hyundai Veloster is a four-passenger, three-door hatchback. The driver-side door is coupelike in length, while the passenger side features two smaller doors. The base Veloster comes with a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine that produces 138 horsepower and 123 pound-feet of torque. The Veloster Turbo packs a turbocharged version of the 1.6 that cranks out 201 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque. For either model, a six-speed manual transmission is standard, with the automated manual transmission as an option. The base engine's output drops slightly (132 hp and 120 lb-ft of torque) when paired with the automated transmission.
Standard feature highlights for the base Veloster include 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, a rear spoiler, air-conditioning, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel, full power accessories, Bluetooth, the BlueLink telematics system, a touchscreen display and a six-speaker sound system with satellite radio, Pandora radio capability and USB/iPod connectivity.
In addition to its more powerful engine, the Turbo also comes with sport-tuned steering, 18-inch wheels, unique styling elements, keyless ignition and entry, leather upholstery, heated front seats and an upgraded sound system. Optional highlights for the Veloster include a panoramic sunroof, automatic headlights, rear parking sensors, a navigation system and a rearview camera.
The Hyundai Veloster's cabin has an abundance of hard plastic surfaces, but unique texturing and sculpted design help to bolster its appeal. Front seats are comfortable and supportive, but those relegated to the rear will find those quarters less accommodating. There's ample legroom, but the rear seat cushions are mounted a bit too low and headroom is limited by the sloping roof line. Furthermore, the glass hatch extends over the passengers' heads, leaving them exposed to the sun.
On the plus side, all of the Veloster's cutting-edge features are sure to attract the tech-savvy youth market that it clearly has in its sights. Besides the typical safety features associated with the BlueLink system, functions like outbound text messaging, turn-by-turn navigation and location sharing (via Facebook) are also included. Parents of young drivers will also appreciate the programmable geo-fence feature that alerts them when the car travels outside of defined areas.
Power from the base 1.6-liter engine is merely adequate, which may seem like a bit of a letdown considering the Veloster's sporty styling. Thankfully, the Hyundai Veloster Turbo spices things up considerably. It also comes with the same basic suspension tuning, which tends to be harsh riding on pockmarked roads. That said, the Turbo still manages to deliver a decent amount of entertainment from behind the wheel.
Used Hyundai Veloster Models
The Hyundai Veloster debuted for the 2012 model year. For that first year the Veloster was only available in the naturally aspirated (non-turbocharged) trim, which had 138 hp and 123 lb-ft of torque regardless of transmission.

high jump history questions
Forum devoted to track & field items of an historical nature.
Re: high jump history questions
Well, compared to today's cushy, spongy landing pits, yes; but it was not all that "dangerous", as the technique made for a groundroll off the lead foot, not a "clump" on your back. I jumped a foot lower, but still HJ was not a problem; PV was much dicier. I still have a stiff lower back muscle on one side, form HS sand; and only 11 ft. at that.
Re: high jump history questions
Jack is right, not nearly as dangerous as you might think. I jumped in sawdust pits from 7th-12th grades and never saw anyone get seriously hurt.
Of course no one would have been dumb enough to try a back layout technique even if we had thought about it.
We did a lot of shoveling to keep the sawdust pile high and fluffed up... but the worst part was all that sawdust in every crease and wrinkle in your body that no amount of showering could ever quite remove.
Best part was if the sawdust was piled between haybales that you could move around and jump from... if you made the haybale stacks staircase up just right you could clear 7 feet!
Re: high jump history questions
Heck, I still have a back injury that haunts me to this day from flopping on one of those UCS pits in junior high. Some "nice person" took the pad off the top and I landed right between the pits on concrete. Yes, concrete. We only used the high school track for our meets but during our training, asphalt and concrete was our daily lot in life.
Re: high jump history questions
Yikes! The scariest HJ situations I have seen are exactly as Dietmar describes: multi-part foam cube arrays that are meant to be held together with buckles and straps and a cover on top. Often the couplings break or the cover is ripped or gone completely or the pit is just plain too small. Then inexperienced jumpers launch themselves in trajectories that result in an off the pit landing or a bounce off the edge into whatever lies beyond or trapped between the loose cubes. Gimme a sawdust pile and a straddle technique anyday in terms of safety.
Re: high jump history questions
if you made the haybale stacks staircase up just right you could clear 7 feet!
Good one, 'jhc': You're memories coincide with my own. One day at USC--maybe Bobby Avant even partook--we hauled over some Ramp someone had out there for some purpose, just to experiment: The leverage it provided was considerably more than it's height, ~6 inches. So, yeah, we were approaching what seemed stratospheric, aka Bobby Avant's & Charley Dumas's normal heights.
That was right before that Russian introduced the built-up, Rocker shoe--which was promptly outlawed.
Bet you'll get a kick out of this one: At Masters Meets, I occasionally take a break from Throws and head over to the HJ. After first dealing w/ the dilemma of wearing or doffing my glasses--which I once broke upon landing--I try to ignore the ridiculously high (for us) landing pit: it's most strange to be in the middle of your modest roll around the (quite low, ~4 ft.) bar, only to encounter the immense plastic spongemats, hardly a "pit".
Re: high jump history questions
Depends on one's perspective, I guess. Here's D-W-I-G-H-T looking pretty cool.
Re: high jump history questions
Look carefully at Marlow's video link and I am pretty sure that you can see me sitting down at the other end of the coliseum in the last 4-5 seconds of the clip!
Re: high jump history questions
I think I was sitting right behind you.
Re: high jump history questions
Tony Sneazwell training at what could be the University of Melbourne track where Franz Stampfl was his coach. If it's not there, it was somewhere in inner Melbourne, given the architectural exemplar in the background. Perhaps AS would know for sure?
Tony was the first Australian to clear 7 feet in 1963 and later that year, upped his national record to 2.20 (7'2")in Tokyo. Unfortunately, he never jumped well in either the '64 or '68 Olympics.

Sen. Bill Clinton? Don't completely rule it out.
The former president is among several boldface names being touted as possible "caretakers" for New York's Senate seat — people who would serve until the 2010 elections but wouldn't be interested in running to keep the job.
As the process of picking Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton's replacement gets messier, the option may become increasingly attractive to Gov. David Paterson, who has sole authority to name a successor.
Ahh, well… looks like there'll be plenty to blog about in 2009.
Happy New Year, everyone.

"Street Haunting: Investigating the Supernatural, the
& the Curious in London Literature"
& the Curious in London Literature"
Kingston University, London
Kingston University, about 25 minutes by train from central London, is London's top-ranking new university. Approximately 21,000 students attend classes in the regular semesters on the four campuses in and around Kingston upon Thames, a historic part of London. It is the safest borough in London, according to the most recent Urban Crime Rankings report (May 2006). The University benefits from a modern environment, but is also surrounded by beautiful countryside and a rich heritage. Students will be close to Hampton Court, Bushy Park, and Richmond Park, and may also take advantage of the close proximity to London. Excellent transportation facilitates travel to get to Heathrow and Gatwick airports, as well as the Eurostar terminal.

London is one of the most exciting cities in the world. Its cultural diversity means people from all over the world are happy to make it their home. More than 83,000 international students study in London and over 300 languages are spoken.
Well-known sites such as the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben, the Tower of London and the British Library, are just short journeys away from Kingston University by train. London's galleries and schools of art make the city an artistic center to rival Paris and Rome, and only London can offer such diverse theater venues including the Blue Note, the Royal Opera House, and the Royal Court Theatre. Major international sporting events take place in London at Wimbledon, Lords, and Wembly Stadium. In London, going for a walk can be an adventure. The various neighborhoods, such as Islington, Kensington, and Bloomsbury, all have their own individual character. Markets, shops, parks, restaurants, clubs, and street entertainers are abundant.
Participants in this program will enroll in one course taught by UW-La Crosse co-instructors Kelly Sultzbach and Adam Putz (ENG 200/204/368 Street Haunting: Investigating the Supernatural, the Strange, & the Curious in London Literature) and one course taught by Kingston University faculty (British Culture and Society).
Optional weekend trips include visits to Ireland, Wales, Scotland and Paris (not included in program fee).
Summer School students stay in a residence hall, central to Kingston town and the Penrhyn Road campus where classes are held.
Each student will have non-smoking accommodations in a single bedroom with a private shower and toilet, in a suite of rooms with up to 5 other students, sharing a kitchen. Amenities include on-site laundry facilities and free Internet connection in all rooms. Bed linens (changed weekly), towels (changed twice weekly), kitchen equipment, and cleaning equipment are provided. Bedrooms and kitchen are also cleaned weekly.

Travelers have long passed through the White Mountains via Franconia Notch, and in the late 18th century a town evolved just to the north. It and the region's jagged rock formations and heavy coat of evergreens have stirred the imaginations of Washington Irving, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, who penned a short story about the craggy cliff known as the Old Man of the Mountain. There is almost no town proper to speak of here, just a handful of stores, touched though it is by Interstate 93 (the Franconia Notch Parkway).
Four miles west of Franconia, Sugar Hill is a town of about 500 people. It's famous for its spectacular sunsets and views of the Franconia Mountains, best seen from Sunset Hill, where a row of grand hotels and mansions once stood.

The Advanced Cardiac Care and Transplant Program at Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center is a comprehensive program for patients with cardiovascular conditions.
Wake Forest Baptist cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, nurse specialists and researchers work as a team to address the full scope of heart problems. Working in state-of-the-art facilities, using some of the world's most sophisticated technology, these experts are on the leading edge of diagnosis, treatment and discovery.
Patients should be referred to the Heart Center's program if they have a new onset of heart failure, do not respond to medication therapy, have 2 or more hospitalizations for heart failure within a year, or have a recent deterioration in cardiac function.
Quite often heart failure can be related to other conditions – kidney problems, anemia, diabetes, lung diseases – so we address them all. These patients may have medications working against each other.
The multidisciplinary approach of the Heart Center means that other departments are often brought in, including surgery, nutrition, endocrinology, urology, radiology, or critical care. Extensive testing may be necessary.
For Amy Cooper, 33, who had just given birth to twin boys, it was a mystery why she felt so bad. Was it exhaustion? Anemia from hemorrhaging at childbirth? Postpartum depression? Heart failure never crossed her mind.

Lloyd Arnold, director of aviation at the airport, said overcrowding on busy days has not only inconvenienced passengers, but at times slowed air traffic.
'We don't have enough holding area for people who have been processed by TSA," he said, adding that additional passengers can't be admitted to the secure area until those already there have boarded, which can cause flight delays.
"If you planned to fly to Denver at 10 a.m. but the plane doesn't depart until 10:30, you're holding up flights at other airports," he said. "This will alleviate the current congestion."
The current terminal has 28,700 square feet. So the addition will bring it almost 40,000 square feet.
It's still not enough, Arnold said, but will be a huge improvement. The airport processes 200,000 enplanements and deplanements each year, and a terminal of 60,000 square feet is recommended for that volume.
The terminal expansion will allow for new counters and more common areas as well as the enlarged TSA holding area, Arnold said. New bathrooms have already been added to the secure area.
The construction will cost $3.2 million, funded primarily by the Federal Aviation Administration Entitlement Funds and grants from the Colorado Department of Highways. Only $160,000 was required in local matching grants, which Arnold said earlier is "almost a giveaway."
The interior of the terminal will be designed to match the current décor, he said, and a new baggage handling system will be put in place that will process more bags per hour, he said.
The main contractor for the project is H.W. Houston Construction of Pueblo, and the architect is Patrik Davis Associates of Montrose. Arnold said Davis worked on the terminal when it was built back in 1988.
"It's nice to have him on board as the original architect," he said.
The expansion moves the south wall of the terminal out about 50 feet, and when it's finished, people won't notice much difference, except for having a lot more space.
When he was coming up with plans for the expansion last year, Arnold stressed that the traveling public, not taxpayers, are paying for the expansion, from user fees within the aviation system.
"If you have not used the aviation system, you have not contributed to airport improvement funds," he said. "It's not tax money."
Future expansion, as it has in the past, will be guided by the airport's Funding and Facilities Committee, Arnold said.
The Montrose airport is the "largest economic engine" for this area, he said, with a yearly impact of $329 million.

Colombia: Improving supplier standards in Colombia
In 2009 Bavaria presented ethical performance awards to 54 suppliers as part of its Rumbo Empresas Íntegras y Transparentes programme.
The aim of the programme, developed in association with Transparency for Colombia, the local chapter of Transparency International, was to implement and strengthen the culture of ethics in companies providing services to Bavaria. The course lasted 12 months, during which suppliers' policies and procedures were reviewed to ensure they met Bavaria's minimum standards, including those relating to business ethics and anti-bribery. More than 6,000 participants were involved in this training.

Honduras: Honesty with impunity
In Honduras, Cervecería Hondureña has launched an internal communications campaign to raise awareness of corporate ethics. This communications campaign aimed to provide a permanent line of communications to employees to help them understand Cervecería Hondureña's ethics policies and construct a culture of ethics whereby whistleblowing is perceived positively.
This campaign began with an internal competition for employees to name a cartoon character who would be an ambassador of ethics. 250 entries were made to the competition with the winning name decided as 'Tacho Sintacha'.
Using the newly-developed character, the importance of ethics and whistleblowing has been communicated to employees through a number of mediums such as newsletters, banners and screensavers.

Uganda: Engaging with policy makers
We have continued our efforts to engage with governments, business leaders, NGOs and experts on HIV/AIDs issues.
In May 2009 we co-hosted a roundtable discussion on HIV/Aids, with the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Uganda to the UN in Geneva.
This round table was the eighth in a series of similar stakeholder conversations arranged by SABMiller over the course of the past three years. These events allow for a productive sharing of ideas and a frank exchange of views, and provide SABMiller with a valuable opportunity to hear stakeholder opinions about an issue of core interest to SABMiller's business and to respond.
The event was attended by representatives from Business Action for Africa, UNAIDS, The Global Fund to fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria and the WHO. Such discussions give us valuable insight for formulating future plans.
