New York high-speed rail
High-speed rail in New York has been a topic that is consistently discussed among legislators, political leaders and in particular, several past governors since the 1990s, but thus far little progress has been made. In his campaign speeches prior to his defeat by Governor George Pataki in 1994, Mario Cuomo promised to bring high speed (maglev) rail up the Hudson Valley and along the Catskill Mountains route.[1] It was not a priority for the subsequent administration.
Currently, Amtrak's Acela service between Washington, D.C., and Boston, Massachusetts is available to New York City, but the cities in Upstate New York and Western New York remain isolated from high-speed rail service. Further, destinations outside the New York metropolitan area have experienced delayed service for decades.[clarification needed] In some areas, New York State has been quietly endorsing and even implementing rail improvements for years.
Frequently cited as a partial solution for Upstate and Western New York's economic stagnation, faster rail transportation between New York City and the rest of the state has been suggested as a way to make rural areas grow into suburban destinations for daily commuters, and easily accessible for businesses to relocate to cheaper real estate. Many politicians[which?] also endorse closer ties with destinations in Canada.
Rail travel in New York has its roots in the early 19th century. The New York Central water-level route roughly followed the path of the Erie Canal, with four tracks along much of the route. For many years the Twentieth Century Limited and Empire State Express services, to Chicago and Buffalo were amongst the fastest trains in the world, with average speeds topping 60 mph (97 km/h) and top speeds reportedly well over 100 mph (160 km/h). Rail travel largely stagnated in the post-World War II economic boom, as the New York Thruway was built, and then the rest of the highway transportation and suburban lifestyles burgeoned. Nonetheless, rail culture lived on in the New York metropolitan area. It was kept alive by the subway culture in New York City, as well as suburban routes on Long Island and the northern suburbs of the city. The Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad are the two largest commuter railroads in the United States. New Jersey Transit, which serves New Jersey commuters to Manhattan, Philadelphia, and points within New Jersey, is also a major player in the U.S. commuter rail market. Potential also exists for a high-speed rail line to Montreal, Quebec, Canada along existing train right of way.
Interest in updating the state's aging rail infrastructure was sparked in the early 1990s. In the early 1980s the State of New York paid Conrail to install cab signals from Poughkeepise to Hoffmans, west of Schenectady, to allow 110 mph train service. This service actually went into service. In the late 1990s, ground was broken on a new rail station in Rensselaer, at the time reported as the ninth busiest station in the entire United States; federal funding was secured for the project.[2] In 2001, the state tested a newly rebuilt Turboliner RTL-III diesel locomotive capable of reaching 125 mph (201 km/h).[3] In 2004, the Turboliner rehabilitation project had a falling out between Amtrak and New York State and the contractor doing the rehab. After lawsuits were filled, a settlement was reached to liquidate the unfinished Turboliner project. In the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, New York Governor George Pataki attempted to secure, among other things, a high-speed rail link to Schenectady using federal emergency aid money.[4] From 2004 until 2012, the unused Turboliners sat in storage at a cost of $150,000 per year to the taxpayers until a decision by Governor Andrew Cuomo to liquidate the remaining fleet for scrap metal.[5]
Notably, federal planners identified New York State's Empire Corridor (Buffalo-Albany-New York City) as one of the best-suited for high-speed rail service.[6] In 2005, New York State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno expressed renewed interest in high-speed rail proposed research into high-speed rail development in New York State as part of a plan to boost Upstate New York's economy.[7] In addition, the Empire Limited Amtrak service between New York and Albany already has one of the highest levels of ridership outside the Northeast Corridor and Acela lines.[8]
One of the groups that advocates for the development of high-speed rail is the Empire State Passengers Association.
Current plans[edit]
In 2009, The New York State Department of Transportation released a statewide rail plan, including a program of capital investments to increase passenger rail speed and reliability.[9] In October 2009, the state applied for funding for a number of these projects from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 High Speed Intercity Passenger Rail program.[10] The NYSDOT also named a project manager for high speed rail, Marie Corrado.[11]
New York governor-elect Andrew Cuomo sent a letter to U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood shortly after his victory in the 2010 New York gubernatorial election requesting that New York receive the money granted by the federal government to high-speed rail projects in Wisconsin and Ohio that the governors of both states pledged to cancel.[12]
According to a study by America 2050, the corridor between New York City and Albany has high potential among 8,000 possible routes nationwide as a high-speed corridor.[13]
The state received $151 million from the federal government in early 2010, of which $58 million was planned to be used to build an 11 miles (18 km) stretch of track between Riga and Byron capable of 110 miles per hour (180 km/h) speeds.[14] This was planned to be an entirely new track parallel to the existing CSX line used solely for Amtrak trains.[14] The remainder of the money was used to construct a second track between Albany and Schenectady.[14] Negotiations between the state and CSX around the Western New York third track came to a halt in late spring of 2010 after CSX disclosed a requirement that the new track be located at least 30 feet (9.1 m) from its right-of-way; in some places along the route, that amount of space is unavailable.[15] The two parties subsequently came to an agreement, however, after further meetings arranged by Representative Louise Slaughter, allowing planning for the trackage to continue.[15] Between Albany and Schenectady, construction of the third track is planned to begin in 2011.[16] An additional $354 million, composed of funds rejected by other states, was granted to New York in May 2011. Of that, $58 million will be allocated to the ongoing Albany-Schenectady upgrades, $1.4 million will be allocated for a preliminary study for a new terminal in Rochester, and the remainder will go to New York City.[17]
Between 2011 and 2012, a study had been conducted by the New York State Department of Transportation for the Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement on the high/higher speed rail service from New York City to Niagara Falls. As of March 2012, the Tier 1 EIS had eliminated the high speed rail alternatives with tops speeds of 160 mph (257 km/h) and 220 mph (354 km/h) due to the high costs. The only 4 build alternatives under current consideration are for higher speed rail with top speeds of 90 mph (145 km/h) (options A and B), 110 mph (177 km/h), and 125 mph (201 km/h).[18]
Issues in constructing high-speed rail lines in New York[edit]
The entire upstate network lacks electrification for conventional high-speed service. As an alternative to electrification, diesel-powered options such as the new JetTrain by Bombardier Transportation were considered, as well as refurbishing of the older Turboliner fleet, but both projects are either stalled or canceled.
Sections of the Hudson River route require straightening of the track route. Some portions, notably the Spuyten Duyvil Bridge over the Harlem River, are operating with only a single track.
Most sections of the routes north and west of Albany share track with freight trains. Third or fourth tracks would be necessary to ensure continuity of high velocities on the route; the federal government considers the construction of additional tracks between Albany and Buffalo to be "one of the largest projects" involved in upgrading the trackage to high-speed standards.[19]
While the metropolitan Erie Canal line has seen much interest in such a line, the rural areas of the Southern Tier, as well as the North Country, have largely been neglected; indeed, there is not even normal Amtrak service in these areas. These areas tend to be hillier and more mountainous than the current plans, and are thus not ideal for high-speed service.
Other proposals involve extensions of existing corridors or cooperation with agencies in other states or in Canada.
Montreal to New York City[edit]
On October 6, 2005, the Albany Times-Union reported that New York Governor George Pataki and Quebec Premier Jean Charest "called for the creation of high-speed rail service between Montreal and New York City as a way to boost the regional economy during the third Quebec-New York Economic Summit on Wednesday," October 4, 2005. The article claimed that New York was Quebec's main trading partner, which perhaps explains some of the interest in linking the two major cities.[20]
According to a report by the New York State Senate High Speed Rail Task Force, such a route would serve Plattsburgh via Albany.[21] Amtrak's Adirondack currently provides a passenger rail link between Montreal and New York City through Albany.
Buffalo to Toronto[edit]
New York State Assemblyman Sam Hoyt of Buffalo has been active in promoting high-speed cross-border rail service, pointing out that Toronto is a large metropolis nearby Western New York. Buffalo, the largest city on the U.S. side of the border in the region, plays host to many Canadian companies that do business in the United States. Toronto, on the other hand, is a major cultural center for many Western New Yorkers, and high-speed rail service has the potential to increase environmentally-friendly traffic and decrease congestion on the Peace Bridge.[22] The existing passenger rail link is served by Amtrak and Via Rail.
Binghamton to New York City[edit]
Senator Charles Schumer and others have proposed passenger rail service from Binghamton, NY, along former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad trackage, via Scranton, PA and the Lackawanna Cutoff in New Jersey to New York City, which would provide the Southern Tier with intercity passenger rail for the first time in decades. The right-of-way from Binghamton to Scranton and along the Lackawanna Cutoff are suitable for high-speed service, although the rest of the route (which passes through the Pocono Mountains) is not, so it has sometimes been proposed to make the service high-speed where it is suitable. The route currently does not have rail service, although the Lackawanna Cutoff is in the process of having rail service restored by approximately 2016. As of January 2010, Scranton, PA and Binghamton, NY did not win high-speed rail funding announced by President Obama. The only funded high-speed rail project in Pennsylvania is between Harrisburg and Philadelphia. However, construction on the cutoff at the New Jersey end of the cutoff began in late 2011.
This route would also require connection of the Binghamton line to the Empire Corridor to avoid a dead end, most likely through the existing New York, Susquehanna and Western Railway's northernmost branches to either Syracuse or Utica; the former Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad line that connected the cutoff to Buffalo via a route through the Southern Tier and Finger Lakes is mostly abandoned. In any of these cases, the terrain is not favorable to high-speed rail service and would have to switch to conventional rail in this section.
Gateway Project[edit]
The Gateway Project is a proposal to build a high-speed rail right-of-way and to alleviate the bottleneck along the Northeast Corridor (NEC) between Penn Station in Newark, New Jersey and New York Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan. The project would create routing alternatives and add 25 train scheduling slots to the current system used by Amtrak (AMTK) and New Jersey Transit (NJT) by constructing another Hudson River crossing. Originally planned by Amtrak to come on line in 2030, Gateway was announced soon after cancellation of NJT's Access to the Region's Core (ARC) project in 2010. It remains unclear how engineering work, design, and real estate acquisition for ARC will be used for Gateway. In November 2011 US Congress allotted $15 million for initial studies.[23] [24][25]
Other out-of-state connections[edit]
New high-speed routes through from Albany to Boston and Buffalo to Kansas City and/or Minneapolis through Cleveland are also proposed, most likely along the routes of current Amtrak services. Through service from Washington, D.C. to upstate New York via the Northeast Corridor is also proposed.[21] These services would require heavy cooperation with other states and the United States federal government. Many civic and business leaders in New England have recently shown interest in better service to New York City and Boston.[26][27]

Biography: Arthur Charles Langlois was born in Jersey, Channel Islands on June 13, 1902. At the age of 20 he adopted Nassau, Bahamas as his lifelong home. He joined the Bahama civil service in 1922 as a wireless operator in the Out Islands. He later joined the Water Department and would work there until his retirement in 1965. He was made a Member of the British Empire (MBE) for his valuable work in supplying water to Nassau during World War II.
In 1925, Langlois married Margaret Alice and they bought The Retreat-a 120 year old Bahamian plantation house with 11 acres. After five hurricanes ravaged the garden from 1926 through 1929 they set about restoring it by planting palms. This restoration work led to a shared passion for palms which was the beginning of their lifelong commitment to its study. Their garden would become one of the best known private collections of palms in the world and two palms would be named for them: Areca langloisiana (now Areca vestaria) and Euterpe langloisii.
At the time Langlois begain studying palms, likenesses of them were hard to come by. So they set about collecting photographs themselves as well as from an impressive array of friends and acquaintances, among whom were Dr. David Fairchild, famed botanist Liberty Hyde Bailey, palm botanist Harold E. Moore, Jr., Anne Archbold, sponsor of some of Dr. Fairchild's collecting trips, and Dent Smith, founder of the International Palm Society. The Langlois were also charter members of the International Palm Society and Margaret sat on the Board. Seeds from their collection at The Retreat helped start IPS's Seed Bank. They were the only private individuals to receive seeds and materials from Dr. Fairchild's Cheng Ho expedition in the early 1940's.
In 1941 the Langlois went to British Honduras (now Belize) to see the Reinhardtia latisecta and then in 1945 to the Sarbiquii Valley in Costa Rica. These were the first of several other trips they would make, at their own expense, to study and photograph rare palms in such locations as Costa Rica, Cuba, Jamaica, and Panama, In 1961 they went to Kew and Kensington to visit their living collections and herbaria and then in 1962 they made a trip to Madagascar. The result of these two trips was over 500 pictures of palm genera not very well known at that time in the Western Hemisphere. After Arthur's retirement they made an extensive trip to the South Pacific with the goal of seeing and photographing as many of the native palms as possible.
Some of the photos collected by the Langlois were used by James McCurrach in his 1959 Palms of the World. Others went into Langlois' own volume Supplement to the Palms of the World which was published at the time of his death in 1977.
The couple never had children and were determined to protect their garden from developers. So in the early 1980's, Margaret donated half the property to the Bahamas National Trust. The remaining half was purchased by a friend who also donated it to the Trust. The Retreat Garden is now Headquarters of the Bahamas National Trust and site of the Trust's extensive library as well as being a botanic garden open to the public.

With temperatures fast approaching the 100-degree mark in the Sacramento region, here are tips for protecting your pets and your plants from the heat.
The Sacramento SPCA offers this hot-weather advice for pet owners
1. Make sure there's plenty of fresh, cool water for pets to drink.
2. Never leave pets in a parked car, not even with the windows cracked.
3. Avoid puddles of auto coolant in garages, driveways and parking lots. The liquid is sweet-tasting but poisonous.
4. Don't let pets ride in the back of an open vehicle such as a pickup truck.
5. Stay clear of lawns that may have been treated with pesticide.
6. Keep pets well-groomed, but don't shave them thinking it will keep them cool. Animals' coats are meant to insulate them from sun and heat. Shaving them can lead to overheating and sunburn.
7. Mist dogs with a spray bottle or let them run through the sprinklers.
* * * *
10 rules to help you and your garden beat the heat
1. Mulch is mandatory. Mulch is like an old quilt. Spread a layer around plants and theyre snug and happy. Mulches keep soil temperature cooler, reduce evaporation and smother weeds. They also improve the appearance of flower beds.
Mulches can be organic (leaves, compost, bone meal, pine needles, bark, wood chips) or inorganic (gravel, black plastic, tumbled glass, rubber).
Either way, mulch is mandatory. Plan amulching party. Invite your friends. Get mulching.
2. Right plant, right place ... or else. Summer heat is as forgiving as the IRS. Stick a plant in the wrong place and its a goner. Sun and shade requirements are printed on the plant labels, but some folks dont bother to read it or miscalculate howmuch sun an area actually receives.
Planting in the wrong place can be expensive. Japanese maple cultivars wont tolerate too much afternoon sun. The delicate laceleaf varieties are most likely to suffer burned leaves. Plant Japanese maples on the north and east side of structures where theyll have afternoon shade or as underplantings beneath taller tree canopies.
Banana trees and citrus will do better on the south side where its warmer and sunnier all year. Other full-sun tolerant plants are lantana, tomatoes, basil, salvias, cactuses, sunflowers, succulents, verbena and marigolds.
3. Lawn is not required. Contrary to popular belief, lawns arent a requirement for a beautiful landscape. Compromise and consider reducing lawn areas by removing portions and enlarging flower beds. Less lawn, more flowers will reduce water usage, turf pesticides and mowing.
Bring the beds out in bold, sweeping curves and plant a variety of bulbs, annuals and perennials. Instead of lawn bordering the front walkway, create curvaceous flower beds 3 or 4 feet wide on each side.
A few drought-resistant plants consider: yarrow, rudbeckia (coneflower), spirea, gazania, lambs ears, star jasmine, rockrose, butterfly bush, lantana and coreopsis.
4. Drought-tolerant plants need water. A commonmisconception is that drought-tolerant plants dont need to be watered. Unless youve chosen plastic plants, you have to water. In order to establish root systems, these plants require regular watering the first year or two.
Once the root system has matured, they become drought-tolerant and require much less water.
5. Watering has regular hours. Water is a horrible thing to waste. Sprinklers are much more efficient if timers are set between 2 and 8 a.m. You can push it to 10 a.m., but figure on more evaporation.
Flowers, trees, shrubs and vegetable gardens are best watered by drip irrigation, with soaker hoses or by flooding basins with a garden hose.
Plants near paved surfaces, stucco walls and large stones and those planted on the south or west sides of homes are subjected to more heat and thus need more water. Again, water in themorning. If you prefer evening watering, keep water off foliage.
6. Plan for shade. Shade is precious during periods of triple-digit temperatures. If youre fortunate to live under a mature leaf canopy, shade is in abundance. However, yards in new developments can resemble moonscape.
Yards can be shaded using plants like bamboo (use clumping varieties), wisteria, grape vines, kiwi or folding screens, awnings and covered patios. Instant shade is created by planting bamboo in large containers or by placing a decorative screen in the right spot. Privacy is another benefit of anything tall enough to shade an area.
7. Summer veggies love sunlight. Spindly, wimpy veggies, eh? Most often its because they arent absorbing enough sunlight. Six hours of sun is minimum for summer veggies; 8 or 10 hours is much better. Vegetables should be planted in the sunniest location on the property.
As much as peppers love sun, they do benefit from late-afternoon protection to ward off sunburn. Group peppers close together to form a dense leaf canopy that will shield ripening peppers from sunburn. Or drape shade fabric over peppers.
And never prune tomatoes!
Allow the long stems to drape over each other or use tall, sturdy support cages. Tomato foliage plays an important role in Sacramento vegetable gardens.
8. Dont get burned! Summer in the valley can be hard on gardeners. Its best to stay out of gardens from late morning until early evening to avoid sunburn and heat-related illnesses. Dont overdo it.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat, drink plenty of water and use sunscreen.
Short-cycle gardening is one way to beat the heat. Spend 10 or 15 minutes gardening, then take a break on the patio or inside the house.
9. Comfort roses. Roses shut down during the hottest weeks of summer. They take a break and store up for a final fall bloom cycle. You can help. Roses will need plenty of water until fall weather arrives. Make sure theres adequate mulch (3 inches deep or so). Other than deadheading (removing old blooms), resist pruning off any foliage this time of year. Every square inch of shade is important.
Members of the Sierra Foothills and Sacramento rose societies have compiled an excellent list of the best roses for Sacramentos climate on the Web site www.sactorose.org.
10. Be container smart. Use large containers. Get rid of those dinky pots that demand watering twice a day in summer. Miss a day with a small pot and the plant is dead tissue. A pot less that 16 inches across is too small for Sacramento. The larger the container, the fewer times you'll have to water and the more plants you can group for spectacular displays. With all containers, it's best to raise them up on pot feet or pieces of wood during summer to prevent direct contact with hot surfaces. Smaller pots heat up faster and are more likely to roast feeder roots. Once delicate feeder roots are torched, chances of recovery are slim. Grouping pots together is a good way to create shade and reduce heat damage.

You'll sell more if you talk about your product using language your customer understands.
You'll sell more if you talk about your product using language your customer understands.
Customers never buy because of product features. They buy because they perceive some "benefit" to those features.
Unfortunately, most sales and marketing messages talk about features and let the customers try to figure out the benefits. That's asking your customer to do your heavy lifting for you.
You'll get more customers, more quickly, if you communicate the benefits of using your product rather than the features it possesses. Here are six rules for doing so, based upon a conversation with one of my favorite sales gurus, Barry Rhein:
A feature is something that a product or service "is" or "does." A benefit is something that the product or service "means" to the customer. For example:
Customers will remember a benefit longer and more easily if it's expressed using simple, strong words that evoke emotion.
Nothing leaches a benefit of emotion more than the use of tired business cliches or overly technical terminology.
Most people can only hold two or three thoughts at one time in their short-term memory. Long lists of benefits just cause confusion.
Benefits that are generic to your product category can convince a customer to buy... but not necessarily from you! Use benefits that differentiate you from the competition:
Customers ignore benefits that are abstract and expressed using vague adverbs and adjectives. Benefits that are concrete and specific are more convincing and "stick in the mind."

LONDON A combination of higher lead scrap prices and maintenance shutdowns at two German operations led Recylex SA to record a net loss in the first half of the year. "The groups interim results were impacted by scheduled maintenance shutdowns at the two major plants in the lead and zinc segments, which had a severe impact on earnings, as well as intense competition in scrap supplies which penalized margins in the lead business in particular," Recylex chairman and chief executive officer Yves Roche said.....

Beehive Ant Macros
The Beehive distribution includes several Ant macros to assist developers creating Ant build files for NetUI Page Flow, Controls and Web Services. These macros are located in the <BeehiveHome>/ant/beehive-tools.xml file.
To use any of these macros import the beehive-tools file into your Ant script:
<import file="${beehive.home}/ant/beehive-tools.xml"/>
The build-controls Ant Macro
This macro uses the Java 5 Annotation Processing Tool (apt) for control generation and compilation. Any .java files generated by this macro can be found in the directory specifed by the tempdir parameter.
build-controls accepts the following parameters:
Parameter Name | Required | Description |
srcdir | Yes | The directory containing the controls to build. |
destdir | Yes | The destination directory for the compiled controls files. |
tempdir | Yes | A temporary directory for any generated java files. |
classpathref | Yes | A classpath reference for building the controls. Required. |
The following project has a source directory, a destination directory, and a temporary directory for generated files.
project build classes src tempsrc
For this project, the build-controls call would look like this:
<build-controls srcdir="project/src" destdir="project/build/classes" tempdir="project/tempsrc" classpathref="build.classpath"/>
The build-pageflows Ant Macro
This macro is intended for the compilation of the Page Flow portions of a web application. This macro will not compile controls inside of a web application. If the web application contains controls, they must be compiled first using the build-controls macro (see above). 0nce the compilation of the controls is complete, the page flows within the web app can be compiled.
build-pageflows accepts the following pararmeters:
Parameter Name | Required | Description |
srcdir | Yes | The root directory which will be scanned for source files. |
classpathref | Yes | The classpath reference for building page flows. |
sourcepathref | No | A reference to a path that contains all the source roots. Defaults to a path that contains ${srcdir} and ${srcdir}/WEB-INF/src. |
webcontentdir | No | The root location for web content (e.g., JSPs, web.xml, etc.). Defaults to ${srcdir}. |
destdir | No | The directory for compiled classes and generated resources. Defaults to ${srcdir}/WEB-INF/classes. |
tempdir | No | The directory for temporary .java files, copied from page flows (etc.) with non-.java extensions. Defaults to ${srcdir}/WEB-INF/.tmpbeansrc. |
Consider a simple project with the following structure:
project WEB-INF classes lib src web.xml
For this project, the build-pageflows call would look like this:
<build-pageflows srcdir="project" classpathref="webapp.build.classpath"/>
In a more complex project, web content, source, and the target (build) directory may be in different places:
project src web WEB-INF lib web.xml build webapp
In this case, the build-pageflows call would be:
<build-pageflows srcdir="project/src" webcontentdir="project/web" destdir="project/build/webapp/WEB-INF/classes" classpathref="webapp.build.classpath"/>
The build-schemas Ant Macro
This macro can be used to parse an XML Schema or Apache XMLBeans xsdconfig file into Apache XMLBeans. It is really just a wrapper for the XMLBean schema compiler which is part of the Apache XMLBeans distribution.
build-schemas accepts the following pararmeters:
Parameter Name | Required | Description |
srcdir | Yes | The directory containing XML Schemas or XMLBeans xsdconfig files to build. |
destdir | Yes | The directory to use for files generated during an XSD build. |
In this example, schemas are being built from a webapp's WEB-INF/schemas to WEB-INF/classes.
<build-schemas srcdir="WEB-INF/schemas" destdir="WEB-INF/classes"/>

The New York Yankees defeated the Washington Nationals, 4-1, at Nationals Park on Sunday. The win gave the Yanks a sweep of the three-game series.
Ivan Nova (9-2, 4.32 ERA) started for the Yankees and went 7-2/3 innings. Nova allowed seven hits, one earned run and one walk while striking out four batters. Edwin Jackson (3-4, 3.02 ERA) went six innings for the Nationals and gave up seven hits, two earned runs and three walks while striking out only one batter. Rafael Soriano picked up his 13th save for New York for pitching a scoreless ninth inning.
The win was the ninth in a row for the Yankees, who are 40-25 and lead the Baltimore Orioles by 1.5 games in the American League East. New York's win streak is its longest since a nine-game run from May 13-21, 2009.
A Mark Teixeira sacrifice fly gave the Yankees a 1-0 lead in the first inning. Teixeira led the Yankee offense with three hits. Adam LaRoche's solo homer in the second inning was it for the Nationals scoring wise. Curtis Granderson gave the lead back to New York with a solo shot in the fifth inning, his team-leading 21st of the season. Robinson Cano pushed the lead to 3-1 with a solo home run in the seventh inning, his 12th of the year. The other Yankees run also came in the seventh inning when Andruw Jones walked on a ball four passed ball and Teixeira scored from third. Granderson, Cano and catcher Chris Stewart all had two hits for the Yankees.
The Yankees return home Monday to begin a series against the Atlanta Braves (35-31) at Yankee Stadium.

Recently discovered Jeremy Ruston's
, which is an interesting take on wikis. It's capable of containing entire wikis in one file, so that it can be viewed off-line. Excellent for documentation, note-taking or blogging, as has already been proved in several places.
I played around with TiddlyWiki a bit, and made my own extended version of it. The result can be found
. Among the new functionality is a server-side component, images in entries, a merge of some functionality from another implementation and logins.
Still missing a good name for my version of TiddlyWiki, though. Suggestions are welcome. :)

Bought myself a neat
digital camera
. This has led to a new section at Aasted.org:
. I'm reluctant to call it a gallery, as it's basically a collection of three pictures right now. Perhaps I'll promote its title to Gallery once the number of pictures rise.
I'll make an attempt to only put pictures that may have interest to a broader audience in the photo-section, so I'll spare you the pictures of my dog, family, girlfriend, drunk friends etc.
The photo-section is handcoded for each picture at the moment, but once it reaches a certain size, I may start looking for a gallery-solution of some kind. Recommendations are very welcome.
I've bought the domain
, which I suddenly discovered was available. At the moment it just points to aasted.org, but if I find a use for it, it may become a seperate site at some point.
Suggestions are welcome.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Geno Smith's two favorite receivers were reunited Friday night when the St. Louis Rams took Stedman Bailey in the third round of the NFL draft after plucking Tavon Austin in the first round.
Smith? Well, he's headed elsewhere - right into the heart of what is sure to be the league's most intriguing quarterback controversy.
The New York Jets picked Smith, West Virginia's all-time passing leader, with the seventh pick in the second round of the draft. That came a night after Smith sat through the first round and was rather surprisingly left undrafted.
For a time Friday, it seemed as Smith might not return to Radio City Music Hall after his first-round snub, but he did and early in the proceeding was finally rewarded.
"It was a test of patience,'' Smith said of his Thursday night experience.
Now, though, comes a test of a different sort. If Smith ever hoped to walk into a low-pressure situation as a rookie in the NFL, this certainly isn't it.
The Jets' starting quarterback is the much-maligned Mark Sanchez, who despite immense struggles in recent seasons was signed to a five-year, $58.25 million contract just over a year ago. Behind him is the lightning rod that is Tim Tebow, acquired before last season from the Denver Broncos.
The Jets also have former Alabama quarterback Greg McElroy on the roster, and when Sanchez was benched last season coach Rex Ryan chose to start the third-string McElroy over Tebow. David Garrard and Matt Simms are also under contract with the Jets.
Into that mess walks Smith, who is certain to have a segment of the vast and vocal Jets fan base rooting for him, just as others will back Tebow or Sanchez or perhaps one of the others.
And all of that will play out in the glare of the New York media.
Smith - who in the immediate aftermath of his selection mentioned Jets and Super Bowl in the same sentence - isn't exactly jumping in and making any bold statements, at least not about himself.

Undergraduate Programs | Graduate Programs | Certificate Programs
The fields of health and fitness impact everyone, young and old. If you want to change the world through athletics and wellness, the Department of Health and Human Performance has a program to meet your needs.
The Department of Health and Human Performance offers two undergraduate degree programs, a graduate degree program, and five certificate programs. Maximize your time studying what you're passionate about by choosing one of three concentrations. All HHP majors get to practice their skills in settings relevant to their concentration, in the classroom, the Wellness Center or the Active Aging program.
Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Performance, with a concentration in Teaching and Coaching K-12Everyday heroes, teachers and coaches shape their students' lives. This concentration prepares students to acquire a K-12 teaching license and lead their own classes. Education students usually participate in classroom observation early on, making sure that they are on the right path. By graduation, students are familiar with the rules of the major youth sports, the principles of physical education and the basics of classroom management. We also encourage students to get an additional endorsement in Health Education, building on the previous courses in the concentration.
Learn more about the Teaching and Coaching K-12 concentration program of study.
Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Performance, concentration in Health Promotion and WellnessHealth promotion and wellness activities take place in a range of institutions from private clinics to fitness centers throughout the United States. In this concentration, students take classes about proper nutrition, exercise, management, consumer health, and much more. Outreach programs, health fairs, and community activities round out the students' experiences and prepare them with practical skills for the real world.
Learn more about the Health Promotion and Wellness concentration program of study.
Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Performance, concentration in Recreation and Sport ManagementIn this concentration, students try everything from aquatics to volleyball. Complementing hands-on courses in developing recreation programming, students also take courses in business management principles. Students gain hands-on experience working with all ages through partnerships with local nursing homes and the Hays Recreation Commission. Recreation and Sports Management alumni find themselves employed anywhere from community recreation centers to professional sports teams.
Learn more about the Recreation and Sports Management concentration program of study.
Bachelor of Science in Health and Human Performance, concentration in Sport and Exercise Therapy
The Sport and Exercise Therapy concentration in Health and Human Performance is designed as a guide to assist students in their preparation for entrance application for professional programs in physical therapy, physicians assistant and occupational therapy. Individuals wishing to enter a professional health program should pursue an undergraduate major in the discipline of their choice, but should take whatever additional courses may be necessary as prerequisites for admission to the specific professional school of interest. Students are encouraged to locate the specific admissions requirement for the school of interest and work with their program advisor to ensure that all admissions requirements are met prior to graduation from Fort Hays State University.
Learn more about the Sport and Exercise Therapy concentration program of study.
Bachelor of Science in Athletic TrainingAthletic trainers help prevent and treat injuries in people of all ages, from children to professional athletes. From the sophomore year onward, the nationally accredited (Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education [CAATE]) Athletic Training Education Program prepares students for the Board of Certification exam, the gateway to a successful career as an athletic trainer.

http://www.mgeitf.co.uk/MGEITF/about/morekeynotes.asp In 1997 the Edinburgh International Television Festival launched the Alt. Mac. Billed as a dynamic 'alternative' to the famous James MacTaggart Memorial Lecture, the platform gives a media visionary an opportunity to present an inspirational view of the broadcasting future. The Richard Dunn memorial lecture was inaugurated in 1999 in memory of the respected former chairman of Thames Television. This platform is distinct in its remit to look at the personal business vision, creative strategy and management style of a major TV executive.
