BWI Airport Complaint - Lack of Handicap Access
Review by
Comments (1)
BALTIMORE, MARYLAND -- I am a disabled person in chronic pain from a knee and leg injury, which prevents me from walking long distances at any one time.
I was shocked, appalled, and dismayed to find that after returning my rental car to this airport, there were NO elevators or any handicapped access to get to the main terminal. Moreover, to make matters worse, the moving sidewalk that WAS provided from the rental car return lot to the terminal was OUT OF SERVICE on the day that I was there.
I am VERY angry that the airport did NOTHING to rectify this situation, nor offered ANY personal service to me whatsoever. Consequently, because I had to make frequent stops in order to get to my gate and because I was in VERY severe pain, I almost missed my connecting flight and had to resume using crutches for several days after this incident. This has all now caused me to not EVER want to return to this airport again.
To help keep me as a potential future customer, I would like the following:
I would like the airport to provide handicap access to people such as myself AND when the moving sidewalk is in a state of disrepair, then I would like people available to assist us with wheelchairs and our luggage. (This could easily be done by the rental car agents using walkie-talkies to airport personnel and skycaps.) Lastly, it would be nice if the airport manager sent me a letter of apology as well.
At the very least I would like a response from your company regarding this incident. Thank you for your time.

I do not know what BWI airport is. I wondered if it were British West Indies? Years ago I was in Barbados airport watching a person in a wheelchair being forced to get up and walk through the scanner device. The security people had no concept of the person being unable to walk. Some places are not in tune with handicap travel, and need to be trained properly. If you are handicapped and travelling, there should be some way for you to check that the location you plan to visit understands your needs. Is there not some type of travel alert program within the handicapped community? Possibly this is something you, the writer, could consider setting up as a website.

Arch Coal posts lower-than-expected 3Q loss
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Coal producer Arch Coal Inc. said Tuesday it posted a lower-than-expected loss of $128.4 million in the third quarter as lowered expenses helped temper weaker coal prices.
The St. Louis-based company lost 61 cents per share in the July-through-September period. That compares with net income of $45.8 million, or 22 cents per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time items, Arch said it lost $1.8 million, or a penny per share. That's down from an adjusted profit of $41.8 million, or 20 cents per share, last year.
Revenue fell 19 percent to $791.3 million from $975.2 million a year ago.
Analysts surveyed by Fact Set expected a loss of 31 cents on sales of $878.3 million.
Arch Coal shares fell 20 cents, or 4.8 percent, to $3.96 in morning trading.
Arch Coal announces 2nd Quarter loss
ST. LOUIS (AP) - Arch Coal Inc. says it logged a second-quarter loss that reflecting overall weakness for coal used in making steel.
Saying it will continue "aggressive" belt-tightening through the rest of the year, the St. Louis-based company on Tuesday posted net losses of $72.2 million, or 34 cents per share, during the April-June quarter. That compares with losses of $435.5 million, or $2.05 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding one-time costs, Arch reported an adjusted loss of $60.5 million, or 29 cents per share. That's better than the loss of 34 cents expected on Wall Street, according to FactSet.
Revenue fell to $766.3 million from $965.7 million. Analysts expected revenue of $912.7 million.
Arch Coal to scale back operations at two mines
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Arch Coal Incorporated says it will scale back operations at two coal mining complexes in Kentucky and Virginia, trimming the work force by more than 100.
The St. Louis-based company said Friday the cutbacks will affect the Cumberland River and Hazard mining complexes.
Company spokeswoman Kim Link says the decision was due on "ongoing coal market challenges."
She says the curtailed operations will cost about 110 jobs — about 65 of them company positions and the rest contractor jobs not controlled by Arch.
The Cumberland River mining complex is in Letcher County in Kentucky and Wise County in Virginia. The Hazard Mining complex is in Perry County, Kentucky.
Link says those eligible workers who are laid off will be offered severance packages.
She says the two complexes still employ nearly 500 workers.

HT to Jonathon Coleman of REI for sharing this on Google+
Michael J. Kovis Nov 12 2012 LinkThanks Mark. I have now just wasted about 10 minutes of my life clicking through some of these "useless" sites. Useless, but clever and creative. The OMFGDOGS one cracked me up.
I just want to know whose job it was and how long it took to build up such a large database of such completely useless sites. Though, to be fair, this is the magic of the Internet, I suppose :-)
I think creating and curating sites like these is the virtual equivalent of having prisoners break rocks: practically useless, but it keeps a lot of people off the streets and put of trouble.
Ok this one deserves attention too http://heyyeyaaeyaaaeyaeyaa.com/
Ummm... I've only clicked a *few*... -

Well first of all I'll start with the reason I chose to build this ground station instead of using a laptop
So after many times of carrying the laptop around assembling and disassembling parts and cables xbees usb cables and such I figured my laptop days as ground station will be numbered
Because of this I decided that I needed a ground station that would save me the need to deal with the assembling and disassembling in the field and will be more durable then my laptop
First I had to plan my shopping and inventory list
I had an old laptop with a broken screen that did not survive its frequent trips around and my poor handling skills And an older laptop screen that i planned on using with the other laptop mother board in order to do it I had to buy a lcd adapter that will let me use the vga port on the motherboard with the lvds laptop screen
That's about what I had to start with
The second thing was to look for a case that will be large enough to contain the mother board the screen another small screen that will fit in the remaining space and some lcd meters for giving a better look mostly and some 3 position switches
After many searches I found an old stock of Pelican at an affordable price and size that is suitable for my budget and needs i measured the space that left after installing the main screen and figure out that a 5 inch screen will just fit
then i needed to think of a way to install everything in a way that would give me easy access to the parts just for any case
after trying multiple materials Plexiglas plywood and others which are not very easy to work with without machinery which i didnt have access to i found just what i needed a pvc foam it is not the perfect material consider his toughness which is lacking but it is very easy to work with and so i chose it and start to cut holes and install the switches and lcds
for the finishing touch of the station i used a vinyl sticker in a 3d carbon woven pattern which gave the panel a nicer look
some technical details:
for powering the station i chose to use a sla battery instead of lipo for some reasons
first it is easier to deal with in terms of charging it and is much safer then lipo
second it is cheaper and heavier so I can save money and use it for balancing the case
i also wanted to be able to hook the station to ac power when its available
so i searched for some ac/dc converter that will meet my power demends and it turned out that i missed it in my calculation by a bit but for the moment it is working and i see no reason to change it but when it brake i'll certenly buy a bigger one capable of outputing more current
I then wanted to charge the battery while using the ac/dc convertor and giving the station more reliability i found a charger which is also a ups that is just what i wished for
also used step up regulator from 12v to 19v for powering the motherboard
and a step down regulator from 12v to 5v for powering the usb hub
both regulators are adjustable with lcd meters for convenience reasons and capable of outputting more current than consumed
bom for the station is:
laptop mother board and screen - free
pelican 1520 - ebay
LCD Controller Board DIY Kit - for connecting lvds screen to the motherboard - ebay
VGA 2AV driver board 5inch HSD050IDW1 800×480 screen - ebay
12v to 19v step up convertor with lcd for powering the motherboard - ebay
temperature meter with two sensors (inside and out of the case) - ebay
power meter with 2X lcd voltmeter and amp meter - ebay
12v to 5v step down convertor with lcd for powering usb hub - ebay
picoUPS-120 12v dc micro ups system - ebay
4X 3 position 6 pins switches - bought at a local electricity store - ebay
4X Delta Fan for Compaq 12vdc .15A 40mm EFB0412HHA - ebay
3d carbon woven pvc vinyl sticker - deal extreme
ac/dc convertor 100-240v input 12v output 3.2A or higher :) - ebay
pvc foam sheet - ebay
access point modem asus wl-330ge - ebay
usb hub 7-ports - ebay *
thermal skin for wires - ebay
* if you want to build your own usb hub you can do it using fe1.1s chip or similar very easily
**and so on with the other regulators it is just to my believe cheaper and faster to order it assembled :)
features of the station:
up to 2.5 hours of use on a single 12v 7Ah sla battery
secondary screen switchable between av and vga (via pc hdmi port and vga converter)
wireless connection to antenna tracker (xbee repeater, Bluetooth, 5.8Ghz)
access point modem - for multiple connection to the station (andropilot for ex)
can be easily modified and upgraded
sorry for my poor writing and description capabilities/skills
the uav station is not done yet still need to do some more things I will update the post as It go

Farina Man Pleads Not Guilty to Solicitation of Murder For Hire Charge
Bond has been set at three-million dollars for a 35-year-old Farina man charged in Fayette County Court with solicitation of murder for hire. Mark Fulk has been held in the Fayette County Jail since April 5th when he was arrested for allegedly soliciting a man identified in court records as John Shelton to kill his wife.Fulk also entered a not guilty plea during Wednesday's court appearance. A jury trial was set for July 29th with a pretrial conference on June 28th. Fulk is accused of offering a house, auto shop, motorcycle and cash for the murder.
Judge James Roberts rejected State's Attorney Joshua Morrison's original request to hold Fulk without bond. He then sought a 5-million dollar bond saying the safety of Fulk's wife and others would be impacted by Mark Fulk's release on bond.
Fulk's attorney Lou Viverito argued a 5-million dollar bond would be opressive and in essence would be denial of bond. Viverito added his client would follow any conditions set as part of release on bond.
If released, the judge ordered Mark Fulk to have no contact with his wife Alicia Fulk, their children, their residence and their auto shop business in Farina. Fulk was also ordered to have no contact with John Shelton. He would also be required to stay at his mother's residence in Effingham, be supervised at all times by either mother or step-father and not left alone at the residence. Fulk would also have to surrender his FOID Card and Passport and not leave the state. No firearms would be allowed in his mother's home. Judge Roberts also gave probation the right to monitor and search the home randomly to confirm compliance.
The Judge ordered if Fulk is released on bond he have no contact with his wife, their children, home, or auto shop that is co-owned with his fife. The judge earlier found probable cause to hold Fulk on the charge. Illinois State Police investigators were called after Shelton reportedly met Fulk's wife at a bar and told her he was supposed to kill her.

Salt Lake City won the number seven spot on PETA's Top Vegan-Friendly Cities of 2013 list, adding to the list of vegan food awards already bestowed upon its vegan restaurants.
Last year, VegNews Magazine called Salt Lake City "the next great vegan city."
"Salt Lake City has long been what I would call a 'vegan-haven,'" Jeremy Beckham, a Salt Lake City resident who works for PETA and played a role in the nomination. Beckham cited City Cakes and Cafe, Sage's Cafe and Frisch among the city's vegan restaurants. Others include Agi's Raw Foods, Buds and Omar's Rawtopia, Cafe SuperNatural, Vertical Diner and more.
Vegan food cannot contain ingredients derived from animals, including milk, eggs and honey. That means cheese and yogurt are out. Vegans rely solely on plants and plant products for their nutrition, requiring a wide variety of foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts.
However, the limitations from a culinary perspective don't make the food less tasty, but rather force chefs to be more creative.
"It's great," vegan gourmet chef Ian Brandt said of the vegan diet. "It's tasty to eat our wide variety of colorful foods."
The faux chicken sandwich at Vertical Diner, a vegan restaurant owned by Brandt, found its way onto a PETA top ten list in 2009. Brandt, who has lived in Salt Lake City for 20 years, also owns the vegan-only Sage's Cafe and Cafe SuperNatural, as well as Cali's Natural Foods, a year-round organic foods market.
"When I was getting introduced to vegan food, there wasn't much here," said Brandt. "Vegan was considered a little extreme at that time." Seeing gourmet vegan-only restaurants in cities like New York inspired him to open his own.
"My thought was to create a product or service ... to make people see that eating [vegan] is not that different from 'normal eating,'" Brandt said.
People's motivations for following a vegan diet are as varied as the foods they eat, but often fall under three categories: health, environmental, or animal and worker rights.

Salt Lake City found its way onto PETA's radar because of its large vegan population, relative to its size, and stayed there after its vegan restaurants began winning awards. City Dogs, a vegan hot dog cart, was a finalist in PETA's Top Five Veggie Dogs in 2011 for its city dog — "our take on the Chicago dog," owner Breanna Escobar said.
Austin, Texas, took the top spot on PETA's list this year. Portland, Ore., Los Angeles, Chicago and New York rounded out the top five. Supporters and staff of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals nominate cities for the list. PETA considers the vegan community's influence in each city and the availability of vegan food at non-vegan restaurants and grocery stores when ranking the cities. The opinions of PETA supporters who travel the country to protest circuses, fur factories and laboratories have the most weight because they experience the food in many cities.
Beckham can see Salt Lake City moving up the list of top vegan-friendly cities in coming years.
"I rarely go to a restaurant without vegan options. ... You see ads for restaurants boasting their vegan options," Beckham said. "It's impressive, given our size."

Fragrance Creator Kilian Makes Personal Appearance at Saks Houston Today, 10/4
Saks Fifth Avenue in Houston is hosting fragrance designer Kilian Hennessy today, October 4, 2012 between 2:00pm and 4:00pm. Meet the creator, Kilian, for a private fragrance consultation, see his new fragrances, Asia Tales: Water Calligraphy and Bamboo Harmony, and explore his best selling scents such as Incense Oud, L'Oveure Noire, and Arabian Nights. Saks Fifth Avenue Houston has an exquisite Kilian shop on level one offering the full line of fragrances and candles by Kilian.
Heir to a long line of cognac makers that were pioneers in luxury, the grandson of the founder of the LVMH Group, Kilian decided to take up the torch of family tradition.
His childhood haunts included the family cellars in Cognac. Before graduating from CELSA (School of Higher Studies in the Information and Communication Sciences at the Sorbonne) he wrote a thesis on the semantics of odors in search of a language common to gods and mortals. In search of the "angels share", he encountered the world of perfumery. The "angels share" is what the House of Hennessy calls the percentage that ? inexplicably ? evaporates from cognac cellars, like an offering to the gods. Kilian's fragrances are redolent of the sugar in alcohol and the wood of cognac barrels.
After graduating from a university program in communication and language sciences, he trained with the greatest noses in perfumery and worked for the most prestigious perfume houses such as Christian Dior, Paco Rabanne, Alexander McQueen and Giorgio Armani.
In 2007, he launched his own brand with a collection that not only reflects his personality yet also achieves a perfect alliance between elegance and uncompromising luxury.
Saks Fifth Avenue, one of the world's preeminent specialty retailers, is renowned for its superlative American and international designer collections, its expertly edited assortment of handbags, shoes, jewelry, cosmetics and gifts, and the first-rate fashion expertise and exemplary client service of its Associates. Today, Saks operates 45 full-line stores in 20 states, 2 licensed stores in the Middle East and 2 licensed stores in Mexico City, 61 Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH stores and saks.com, the company's online store. Visit http://saks.com for more information.
Saks Fifth Avenue is proud to be named a J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Customer Service Champion and is only one of 50 U.S. companies so named.

We have been dinning at Miyoshi for about 25 years. Japanese food is one of our favorites. The food here is good and very well priced. The resturant is small and could use a little redecorating but it reminds us of some of the small resturants we have eaten at while in Japan.
Why oh why does a shashimi plate have to be so small in many other Japanese places where we are spending so much? Many of us struggling to lower our cholesterol or loose wieght or other health issues need a break from grease, fat, trans-fat, lard..you name it. But we do want to be satisfied with the quantity of food,... More
My girlfriends and I came here after bowling and we were in for a treat. The service was great, we were greeted with hot tea to warm ourselves. Our dinner was wonderful, the sushi was exceptional. It was a great experience. I would definitely recommend it.
This is an award winning Japanese place with very good selections and reasonable prices. I would recommend it however vistors should note that it could use some sprucing up.
Hey who cares if Champaign is a bit tired. That is the name of the owner. Her and her husband used to own it together. They are divorced and still work together. So maybe that causes her to be crabby. HOWEVER this is the best Japanese food in the area. The only place better is in San Francisco. I may... More
Been going there for many years- food is always excellent, owners so nice- owners wife makes the best MaiTai's we've ever had!
I have been going to Miyoshi for more then 7 years..I always have a pleasant time there, the sushi is very well done. The prices are very good , the hot sake is the best. I noticed a lot of people mentioned that the staff are cranky, but that is because in Hackensack and Bergen County everyone is on the... More
Went there for dinner tonight....as we are finishing we see a roach crawling across the table...ewwww. They didn't even apologize....yuck Will never eat there again!
Miyoshi is a restaurant that someone would have to tell you about. My friend has been frequenting it for 20 years and that is how I found out about it. I have never tasted fresher Sushi. The portions are large and the prices are more than reasonable. The staff is not rude at all, they are attentive and always on... More

I vividly remember the Facebook post. It was my friend's 5-year-old daughter "Kate," (a pseudonym) standing outside of her house in a bright yellow bikini, the street address clearly visible behind her on the front door. A caption read "Leaving for our annual Labor Day weekend at the beach," and beneath it were more than 50 likes and comments from friends - including many "friends" that Kate's mom barely knew.
The picture had been uploaded to a Facebook album, and there were 114 shots just of Kate: freshly cleaned and swaddled on the day of her birth . . . giving her Labradoodle a kiss . . . playing on a swing set. But there were also photos of her in a bathtub and an awkward moment posing in her mother's lacy pink bra.
I completely understood her parents' desire to capture Kate's everyday moments, because early childhood is so ephemeral. I also knew how those posts would affect Kate as an adult, and the broader impact of creating a generation of kids born into original digital sin.
Last week, Facebook updated its privacy policy again. It reads in part: "We are able to suggest that your friend tag you in a picture by scanning and comparing your friend's pictures to information we've put together from your profile pictures and the other photos in which you've been tagged." Essentially, this means that with each photo upload, Kate's parents are, unwittingly, helping Facebook to merge her digital and real worlds. Algorithms will analyze the people around Kate, the references made to them in posts, and over time will determine Kate's most likely inner circle.
The problem is that Facebook is only one site. With every status update, YouTube video, and birthday blog post, Kate's parents are preventing her from any hope of future anonymity.
That poses some obvious challenges for Kate's future self. It's hard enough to get through puberty. Why make hundreds of embarrassing, searchable photos freely available to her prospective homecoming dates? If Kate's mother writes about a negative parenting experience, could that affect her ability to get into a good college? We know that admissions counselors review Facebook profiles and a host of other websites and networks in order to make their decisions.
There's a more insidious problem, though, which will haunt Kate well into the adulthood. Myriad applications, websites and wearable technologies are relying on face recognition today, and ubiquitous bio-identification is only just getting started. In 2011, a group of hackers built an app that let you scan faces and immediately display their names and basic biographical details, right there on your mobile phone. Already developers have made a working facial recognition API for Google Glass. While Google has forbidden official facial recognition apps, it can't prevent unofficial apps from launching. There's huge value in gaining real-time access to view detailed information about the people with whom we interact.
The easiest way to opt-out is to not create that digital content in the first place, especially for kids. Kate's parents haven't just uploaded one or two photos of her: They've created a trove of data that will enable algorithms to learn about her over time. Any hopes Kate may have had for true anonymity ended with that ballet class YouTube channel.
Knowing what we do about how digital content and data are being cataloged, my husband and I made an important choice before our daughter was born. We decided that we would never post any photos or other personally identifying information about her online. Instead, we created a digital trust fund.
The process started in earnest as we were selecting her name. We'd narrowed the list down to a few alternatives and ran each through domain and keyword searches to see what was available. Next, we crawled through Google to see what content had been posted with those name combinations, and we also looked to see if a Gmail address was open.
We turned to KnowEm.com, a website I often rely on to search for usernames, even though the site is primarily intended as a brand registration service. We certainly had a front-runner for her name, but we would have chosen something different if the KnowEm results produced limited availability or if we found negative content associated with our selection.
With her name decided, we spent several hours registering her URL and a vast array of social media sites. All of that tied back to a single email account, which would act as a primary access key. We listed my permanent email address as a secondary - just as you'd fill out financial paperwork for a minor at a bank. We built a password management system for her to store all of her login information.
On the day of her birth, our daughter already had accounts at Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and even Github. And to this day, we've never posted any content.
All accounts are kept active but private. We also regularly scour the networks of our friends and family and remove any tags. Those who know us well understand and respect our "no posts about the kid" rule.
When we think she's mature enough, we'll hand her an envelope with her master password inside. She'll have the opportunity to start cashing in parts of her digital identity, and we'll ensure that she's making informed decisions about what's appropriate to reveal about herself, and to whom.
It's inevitable that our daughter will become a public figure, because we're all public figures in this new digital age. I adore Kate's parents, and they're raising her to be an amazing young woman. But they're essentially robbing her of a digital adulthood that's free of bias and presupposition.

Col spies Jolie as 'Salt' substitute
New mom Angelina Jolie is in negotiations to replace Tom Cruise in the Columbia spy thriller.
Screenwriter Kurt Wimmer will redraft the screenplay, about a CIA officer who must prove she is not a Russian sleeper spy out to assassinate the president, to suit Jolie. Phillip Noyce remains attached to "Salt" as director with Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Sunil Perkash producing.
The title also will change.
The project has a long history, with directors coming and going, though Cruise has long been tethered to it. The deal for the switch began to fall into place about two weeks ago, though Columbia topper Amy Pascal has been after Jolie for a project for more than two years.
Jolie also is attached to star in "Atlas Shrugged," an adaptation of the Ayn Rand novel. She intends to do both, though in what order remains unclear.
She is repped by Media Talent Group. (partialdiff)

Beauty Flashback: Schick Speed Styler
Got the midday sleepies? This '70s ad should perk you up, perhaps even a little too much. A hyper-happy Farrah Fawcett demonstrates an odd hair-styling contraption. Of course, Farrah thinks the speedy styler is amazing, even though its squirting power makes me deeply uneasy. Guess that's what you have to deal with if you want, as Farrah puts it, flippy curls.

Cincinnati CEO pay rises while business performance languishes
- Dan Monk, Jon Newberry, James Ritchie, Steve Watkins and Evan Weese, Courier staff reporters
Frank Wood thought it would be easy to serve on a public company's compensation committee. Then, he discovered it was "terribly serious" and "time-consuming" work.
"Who's to say what's excessive?" said Wood, 69, a local media investor who serves with four others on the compensation committee for Chemed Corp., a parent of hospice and plumbing and drain cleaning businesses. "It's sort of like talent on a ball team. Is Joey Votto really worth $23 million a year? The market says he is. To me, he's a guy who can hit a ball with a stick."
On May 21, Chemed shareholders rejected the pay plan that Wood endorsed for Chemed's top executives. It was the only company to lose a so-called say-on-pay vote this year. (see details on here) And yet Chemed CEO Kevin McNamara is listed as "fairly paid" in the Business Courier's annual "Bang for the Buck" analysis, which compares local CEO pay packages to shareholder returns and various profitability measures. Wood declined to comment on Chemed's vote specifically. But he had a lot to say about the duties of directors in the say-on-pay era.
"You can't ignore the glare of the public spotlight, but you really just want to make the right decision," he said.
"It's a very complicated thing."
Wood's remarks might be worth remembering as you scan through this year's crop of CEO pay packages, which delivered modest raises to bosses as shareholder returns tumbled to a three-year low.
This is the eighth straight year that the Courier has compared local CEO pay to company performance. Most years, you'll find a correlation between the two. This year, it's not so evident.
