CHAPTER 9 Transit Access Bus (and in some cases rail) is the major alternative to driving for rapid transit riders that live more than � mile from rapid transit stations. It can expand the station catchment area consider- ably, particularly for riders that do not have a car. It is also an important access mode for the elderly and mobility disadvantaged. Finally, it reduces the land requirements around stations that would otherwise be required for park-and-ride. Bus access to stations generally accommodates about 25 to 35 percent of station boardings (except at outlying commuter rail stations where there is little or no service availability). Examples of feeder transit mode shares for BART and Denver RTD shown in Exhibit 9-1 and Exhibit 9-2, respectively, illustrate the importance of bus access. At major outlying transit centers, often the outermost stations, buses account for 50 to 75 percent of all station boardings: � 95th Dan Ryan, Chicago 75 percent � 79th Dan Ryan, Chicago 60 percent � Forest Hills, Boston 60 percent � Sullivan Square, Boston 53 percent The passenger transfer between bus stops and rapid transit stations should be safe and convenient, and walking distances to and from station platforms should be kept to a minimum (Exhibit 9-3). Connecting bus services should be frequent, and buses should not be overcrowded. Fare structures should not inhibit the transfer. The guidelines that follow show how these objectives can be realized. General Planning Guidelines The following guidelines will prove useful in developing the type and design of bus transit access to rapid transit stations. Additional design guidance is available in the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (40). The type and design of the bus-to-rapid transit transfer facility will depend on the station location, the number of buses to be accommodated, pedestrian movements, and traffic engineering considerations. Key considerations include: the type of vehicles to be served (buses, electric trolleybuses, streetcars, LRT); location (on-street, off-street); service frequencies and patterns; fare collection practices; and pedestrian access to rapid transit stations. Facility Location Transfers between local bus and rapid transit service should be provided wherever the two services intersect. They are especially desirable at the outermost rapid transit stations. Passenger interchange facilities generally should be provided where the following conditions apply: 1. Rapid transit service and local bus services intersect. 2. There is a natural convergence of bus routes on approaches to the rapid transit station. 77

Transit Access 79 3. The transfer point is located at an outlying activity center that generates its own traffic. 4. The transfer simplifies service scheduling and dependability over a direct bus routing (for example, the breaking of one long route into two shorter routes). 5. Local bus routes can be rerouted to serve (or already serve) rapid transit service. The transfer between local and rapid transit services should save at least 5 minutes to the city center, compared to a one-seat ride on a local service. It is essential to provide adequate bus access to the transfer point, including bus priority treatments where needed. Facility Type Station facility operations and layout should provide direct, convenient, and conflict-free pedestrian access between local buses and rapid transit stations. Bringing bus passengers close to station entrances should be accomplished with minimum deviations of buses from their normal routes. Both on- and off-street terminals (and stations) should allow rapid passenger interchange, facilitated bus entry to and exit from the station, and minimal increase in bus miles. The choice between on-street and off-street bus station locations also depends on where the stations are or will be located, and the character of the surrounding area. Key considerations include land use, development and street system densities, and bus route patterns and volumes. Urban stations in built-up areas will generally favor on-street provisions for new facilities and redesigning existing facilities. Suburban rapid transit stations will be conducive to off-street transfer facilities, especially when bus interchanging volumes are high. On-street Stations On-street stations may include existing streets at more-urban locations (Exhibit 9-4), or new streets that are created on transit agency property as part of a TOD project. On-street facilities are Exhibit 9-4. On-street bus facility example (Oakland, CA). Source: Kittelson & Associates, Inc.

A Mining Stock for Buy-and-Hold Investors
We are all familiar with the old saying, "You get what you pay for," and in this case, that is exactly what we are counting on.
We believe buy-and-hold investors could be well rewarded for taking an early interest in the mining-equipment manufacturer and services provider Joy Global (JOY). Shares of Joy Global closed Tuesday's trading at $55.57. Joy is not expensive when looking at its price-to-earnings ratio, as it currently trades at about 8x consensus fiscal 2013 earnings expectations of $6.73. This is well below its historical (past five years) price-to-earnings ratio of 14x. The stock deserves its low multiple today.
You can make money on this stock in two ways. As the Chinese economy, the domestic economy and the global economy improve (in that order of importance), we expect Joy's stock price to appreciate, as the company's earnings should grow at a faster rate, making the earnings rise (and the E in the P/E multiple increase). We also expect the multiple at which the stock trades to approach historical norms (meaning the multiplier would increase as well). Given the right conditions, Joy Global offers robust upside.
Joy Global is a worldwide leader in high-productivity mining. The company manufactures and markets original equipment and aftermarket parts and services for the mining industries through both its surface and underground mining business units. Coal as an end-market represents about 75% of sales for Joy Global. Investors have correctly tied the company's near-term fortunes to the strength of economic growth out of China. China is the world's largest consumer of electricity, and in both China and India, coal continues to be the commodity of choice to fuel electricity plants.As China goes, so goes Joy Global. China produces more than 50% of the world's coal. Even though China accounts for only about 11% of Joy's sales, the company's other regions are helped or hindered by the strength (or lack thereof) of the economy in China. Interestingly, China accounts for 63% of the worldwide coal-fired power capacity that is either planned or under construction, and India represents 20%. This is why Joy Global is expecting its revenue from China to double by 2017 and why it points to a resumption of demand. The question of a rebound related to Joy's stock is a matter of when, not if.

Windows Phone 7 Series Minimum System Requirements (Hardware)
Microsoft has officially revealed the minimum system and hardware requirements for their Windows Phone 7 Series platform at Mix10 Conference. Manufacturers will have to abide these compulsory specifications from Microsoft in order to create future handsets for Windows Phone 7 Series. In case you didn't know, head on to the article titled "Windows Phone 7 Series Not Yet Compatible with Current Smart Phones". Read that post to understand better why. The high demand for hardware is one reason.
Hardware Minimums, FYI: Windows Phone 7 Series Minimum System Requirements
- Capacitive Touch: 4 or more contact points
- Sensors: A-GPS, Accelerometer, Compass, Light, Proximity
- Camera: 5 megapixels or more, Camera with a flash and dedicated camera button
- Multimedia: Common detailed specs, Codec acceleration
- Memory: 256 MB, 8 GB Flash or more
- GPU: DirectX 9 acceleration
- Processor: ARMv7 Cortex/Scorpion or better
- 2 screen sizes: 480×800 WVGA, 480×320 HVGA
- Keyboard: Optional
- Hardware Buttons: Must be fixed on the face
As far as I can see these hardware details are comparable with other existing high-end smart phones. Scorpion refers to Qualcomm's core in its 1 GHz Snapdragon chipset that powers the Verizon Nexus One Android phone and T-Mobile HTC HD2 smartphone. The ARMv7 Cortex implies the Armv8 Cortex which is used by the iPhone 3GS. The other specs seem to be industry standard and nothing to crow about. I am a bit surprised though that Microsoft is only requiring a minimum of 256MB memory. I supposed since they already confirmed that they won't be allowing third-party apps to multi-task in Windows Phone 7 OS, 256MB would be enough. I would still prefer a phone with more memory to handle 3D games and HD video viewing.
The GPU DirectX 9 requirement is vague. Will manufacturers be compelled to provide a separate graphics accelerator chipset or will it be integrated with the phone's main processor? Since Microsoft is bragging that Windows Phone 7 is going to offer serious gaming experience, I bet they will coerce their OEM partners to incorporate a dedicated GPU to future smart phone models. I hope they use the PowerVR SGX 545 graphics accelerator used by the iPod Touch and iPhone 3GS or something better.

"We literally traced out a patient's visit from the moment the patient comes into our doors until the time he or she leaves. We asked, 'What is the nurse doing here? What is the doctor doing here? What's the process that happens here?'" says Selig.
The group looked for wasteful processes, brainstormed possible improvement ideas, and spent the next year implementing activities designed to reduce ED crowding. The results: Ambulance diversion dropped by 99 percent, the rate of patients leaving without being seen fell by half, and staff turnover stopped in its tracks.
Specific ED improvement strategies at the University of Kansas Hospital included the following.
Empowering nurses to initiate patient care before patients see the physician. Patients coming to the ED no longer sit for an hour-or up to three hours during busy times-flipping through old magazines. "We said, 'This is wasted time', so that caused us to revamp our triage process," says Selig. "The nurse is initiating a lot of the care now."
Selig added a second around-the-clock triage nurse so that patients in the waiting room could be monitored more closely. Further, the ED staff worked with physicians to create standing orders for the 10 most common patient complaints, such as abdominal pain and extremity injuries. These standing orders allow nurses to start a patient's care-for example, sending the patient for an X-ray or EKG and drawing blood-while the patient is in the waiting room. A small lab draw station was created near the waiting room to provide privacy.
"The time that the patient was sitting there and doing nothing is now value-added time," says Selig. "This has reduced our left-without-being-seen rate because the patients perceive that they're getting their treatment started."
Bonus point: Physicians appreciate having more information about the patient's condition when they arrive in the exam room because it allows their work to proceed more efficiently.
Saving nurses-and patients-time. When patient charts were kept at a centralized rack, nurses wasted lots of time running back and forth to get their charts or return them to the rack. Replacing that centralized rack with small, wall-hanging racks near the nurses' work stations give nurses easier access to the charts.
Another timesaver: a new flag system for physician orders. Previously, nurses were sometimes unaware when physicians had written new orders for patients. Now small flags are located outside each exam room; when a new order is written, the physician positions the flag so a nurse can see from across the room that the patient is ready to be moved.
Designating some nurses as "team leaders." Nurses serving in this newly created position have three overarching responsibilities: patient throughput, customer service, and employee satisfaction. "The first job is just helping push patients through the system-whether that means calling to get a bed or going to a doctor and saying, 'Hey, did you know the X-rays are back for this patient?'" says Selig.
Additionally, team leaders assist nurses in making sure patients' needs are taken care of-and make sure that the nurses are taking care of themselves. "They make sure that everyone gets their lunch breaks, that they're not overworked, and that they have everything they need to take good care of their patients," says Selig.
The goal of the team leader concept was to improve patient throughput while also giving nurses in the department an opportunity to develop leadership skills. The 15 team leaders have some clinical shifts and some team leader shifts, in which they are assigned to assist three nurses but have no patients of their own.
Increasing capacity. In addition, the medical center increased its ED nursing staff and added eight new beds to increase capacity. Together, the improvements have helped patients move through the ED faster, Selig says, but average ED length of stay has not declined significantly. "When the hospital is full, no matter how fast we go, patients are going to stay in the ED," says Selig.
Thus, Selig also cochairs an interdisciplinary hospital throughput team composed of physicians, housekeepers, admitting personnel, nurse managers, and others who meet monthly to address the ultimate reasons that the ED gets stacked up. "We have identified about four or five key areas that we want to focus our efforts on in terms of improving patient throughput once they leave the ED and go into the hospital, which will ultimately help us improve our times in the ED, too," says Selig.
This case study is adapted from a longer article ED Crowding: What Works? that appeared in the Summer 2009 issue of The Business of Caring.

Worst Airline Blunders of 2011
John G. Mabanglo/epa/Corbis
Free Trip For a Multimillionaire
Most people in the U.S. could use a vacation right about now. But that doesn't mean they can afford one. So when American Airlines gave an all-expenses-paid trip to Barbados and 200,000 AAdvantage miles to Dallas Maverick Dirk Nowitzki (salary: $17 million) in honor of his MVP performance at the NBA finals, it made the airline look a bit out of touch. AAdvantage's Facebook page erupted as commenters expressed frustration. To its credit, AA's social media team quickly took down the post and rescinded the offer.

The UK boasts vibrant cities such as Edinburgh, Manchester, Cardiff and of course there's the capital, London. Rich in heritage and culture, they make great visits - come rain or shine. Each has its own unique identity wrapped up in the droves of people who have made it their home as well as a past that's ever present. It could be one of the country's many castles, Stone Henge or even Abbey Road Studios - they all form part of the UK's incredible heritage.
The UK is perhaps most glorious, however, when you get out of the cities where you'll find quaint country cottages, rolling green countryside, beautiful lakes (or lochs if you're in Scotland) as well as a dramatic coastline. The UK's mountains may not be able to compete with the Alps or the Andes but a visit to the Scottish highlands or Snowdonia prove they're no less spectacular. Enjoy all that's great about Great Britain with a low-cost UK car hire.

cobra plant, also called cobra lily, or California pitcher plant (species Darlingtonia californica), the only species of the genus Darlingtonia of the pitcher-plant family (Sarraceniaceae) native to swamps in mountain areas of northern California and southern Oregon. The red-veined, yellowish green, hoodlike leaf has a purple-spotted appendage resembling a snake's tongue. The entire plant has the appearance of a striking cobra. The stalkless leaf springs from the rootstalk and is 40 to 85 cm (16 to 33 inches) tall. An insect or similar small animal is drawn to the mouth of the hollow leaf by nectar glands in the ramplike tongue. When inside it tries to crawl or fly through the translucent patches on the hood, which are bright and resemble windows; the true exit from the trap is concealed. The victim soon tires and drops into water that has accumulated at the base of the hood. Escape is prevented by slippery walls and downward-pointing hairs, and the captive is eventually digested by bacteria present in the fluid.
The solitary, yellowish purple, nodding flower is borne on a stalk as long as the leaf. It has five green sepals that are longer than the five red-veined, green petals.

Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug 36 39
Memory foam rug This rug is gorgeous and the only reason I have to return it is that the door to my master closet opens up next to the sink where the rug lies and the rug is too high for the door to open (darn). February 22, 2014
memory foam mat Very cushy, tho' seemed to have some' dangley' threads?? but it is def. comfy to step on! service was great as usual. February 27, 2014
Perfect Fit I was looking for a long and fairly wide rug for our bathroom to fit a specific area. This one fits perfectly! Long bathroom rugs are hard to find, so I spent the money to get exactly what I was looking for and glad I did. I haven't figured out how I'm going about cleaning it yet as I think it will be too heavy for our washing machine. I hate the thought of dry cleaning a bathroom rug, though that may be what has to happen once a quarter or every 6 months. November 19, 2013
Frontgate products As always, excellent quality with this rug. Sometimes I must save up for months or even years to buy what I want from Frontgate, but I have never been disappointed—not once. Mary M. February 14, 2014
Resort Memory Foam Bath Rug We are very happy with these rugs. They are very absorbent, soft and feels like your standing on a cloud. If I could I would re carpet my home with memory foam carpet. I definitely recommend this product. February 8, 2014
Memory Foam Bathroom Rug Beautiful color with great softness. The memory foam inside makes the rug feel as though you are walking on air. February 21, 2014
Great bath rugs The rugs I received exceeded my expectations . They are soft , and made of quality materials. After first wash still remain beautiful. February 15, 2014
Met expectations Very soft, and attractive. Just what I had expected. Just wish there were more size options. February 17, 2014
very luxurious This rug is really deep and soft. We love it. I read some reviews that said it took a long time to dry when washed. I vacuum it most of the time. If, on occasion, I have to wash it, I have a substitute rug I use in the bathroom while this one is drying. You can't put it in the dryer because of the latex backing. And if this rug will be near a door, make sure you have good clearance under the door (we had our door shaved an inch up a while ago so clearance was no problem), October 4, 2013
So cushiony! I am very happy with the 3 Resort Memory Foam Rugs I ordered. The color was true to the website and the quality seems high. Best of all, they are a delight to step onto. Very cushiony and they don't appear matted down after use. I haven't washed them yet so can't rate on durability. January 3, 2014
Excellent Purchase This rug is so soft and plush that you immediately want to take off your shoes and walk on it. My only caveat is to check the clearance of your door if it has to close over the rug. I bought the 72" rug for my guest bathroom (to replace all the smaller area rugs) and the door wouldn't close smoothly. I almost returned for a smaller size, but tried it first in my own bathroom in front of double sinks away from a doorway. Perfect--and I get to enjoy it everyday! It's still new so I can't comment on durability. February 26, 2013
Wonderful rug! I bought this rug to put by my back french doors to use when my dogs go in and out. It is working perfectly and the dogs love to lay on it and look out the window or just take a nap on it. I haven't had to wash it yet, but I know that it will take a long time to dry, which isn't a problem. I have memory foam rugs in the master bath, so I knew that I would like this rug. October 5, 2013
Oh so comfy! Frontgate continues to amaze me with their quality products. Color is rich! Quality is excellent. Memory foam is really comfortable. I'm not sure my husband and I can return to the plain old spa bathroom rugs we previously had purchased through Frontgate. December 2, 2013
Memory Foam Rug Wonderful cozy rug! Very well made, and I would highly recommend this purchase. January 3, 2014
Great underfoot Very nice bath rugs, two in front of each sink and a smaller one coming out of the shower. So soft and plush to step onto. Only issue is even w/the no skid-type of backing they do still move around a bit! Great color, I got the honeywheat to match our towels. November 4, 2013
Really nice but thick These are wonderfully soft thick bathroom rugs. But you ahve to be careful if you have a door that needs to swing over them, it might not work. December 5, 2013
Luxurious Feel I just got this rug. It exceeds my expectations and is so soft and looks beautiful. Walking on the carpet is luxurious. I love it! It is made well, carpet is plush and tightly woven. I would highly recommend. November 5, 2013
Excellent Bath Rug! So far, I have to say that this has exceeded my expectations. It is plush and seems of very high quality. Too early to say about durability but it appears well made and sturdy. The memory foam is a great idea! September 9, 2013
Soo Soft We bought four rugs for two bathrooms - one large for in front of the showers and a smaller one for in front of the toilets. Surprisingly cushy feeling is soo comforting early in the morning or late at night. August 30, 2013
Bathroom Rug The rug fits in front of our double vanity perfectly, and is really soft and comfortable to stand on. The color representation online was very accurate, too. August 5, 2013
resort rug Love this rug. Feels great underfoot and dresses up my bathroom. September 18, 2013
Resort Memory Foam Rug Love this rug! Bought 4 for my bathroom and love the cushy feel of the rug! September 10, 2013
Real luxury for my toes This rug matches my bathroom decor and feels so wonderful underfoot! So nice on a cold winter morning! Went fine through the washer and dryer, but when the manufacturer says extended dry time, they mean it. March 21, 2013
Love this rug We love, love, love this memory foam rug. It does not mat down, but rather slowly springs back after walking on it. It feels so nice to walk on. May 28, 2013
Love it High quality rug, perfect size, nice color, memory foam. I have it at my kitchen sink. Price was a little high, but I got free shipping so that kept it reasonable. April 18, 2013
Great A beautiful rug. You will never find this quality at your local department stores June 19, 2013
Resort memory foan rug Did no wash well- totally dissatisfied. Now lumpy! July 11, 2013
Very nice bath rug. Only time will tell if these rugs hold up, but I've had them for a few weeks now and they are very nice, plush, and comfortable under foot. March 20, 2013

ACHIEVEBLUE™ is very excited to announce our powerful new Inclusion and Diversity Program. Most organizations have policies regarding diversity already in place. But this is not enough to create a culture that actually embraces diversity in practice and attains the critical next level of Inclusion. Inclusion in an organization is the willingness and capacity to value, celebrate and leverage the diversity of all its employees. The concept of inclusion encompasses acceptance and respect. It means understanding that each individual is unique, and recognizing our individual differences.
Inclusive organizations have a culture that people feel they belong, feel respected, valued for who they are so that they can do their best at work. Inclusion is a shift in organization culture. The process of inclusion engages each individual and makes people feeling valued. This culture shift creates higher performing organizations where motivation and morale soar, leading to higher organizational performance. Click here for more information.

- About Us
The Climate Simulation Laboratory (CSL) represents CISL's premier opportunity for researchers seeking high-performance computing and data storage systems to support extremely demanding, high-profile climate simulations. Such simulations require high resolution, span many centuries of simulated time, encompass large numbers of ensembles, integrate new physics or models, or address national and international scientific priorities.
CSL projects' long-running simulations typically require millions of core-hours to complete and usually produce many terabytes of model output that must be stored for analysis and comparison with other simulations and with observations.
Approximately 70 million core-hours are allocated to four to six CSL projects each year. Proposals are reviewed once per year, and awards last for 12 months. To be considered in the selective CSL review process, requests must meet or exceed the minimum request size of 10 million core-hours on Yellowstone. (A collection of unrelated or loosely related activities assembled to reach the minimum CSL allocation size do not constitute a valid CSL request.) Very large projects, if awarded, may be required to consume their allocation approximately evenly over the course of the allocation period.
In a change from prior CSL periods, researchers must have funding from National Science Foundation (NSF) awards to address the climate-related questions for which they are requesting CSL allocations. (See the CSL Eligibility Requirements.) The CSL, which was established in 1995 as a multi-agency initiative, is evolving with the HPC landscape into a focused effort to support NSF awardees in addressing scientific questions that require large-scale, long-running simulations of the Earth's climate system.
For the CSL, the Earth's climate system is defined as the coupled atmosphere, oceans, land, cryosphere, and associated biogeochemistry and ecology, studied on time scales ranging from seasons to centuries. The CSL encourages collaborations with scientists involved in policy development, including impacts, mitigation, and adaptation options for climate change as well as short-term climate variations.
The CSL computational facilities are operated and maintained by the NCAR Computational and Information Systems Laboratory (CISL) and supported by the NSF.

Charles the Monarch, Labradoodle dog mistaken for lion, prompts three 911 Calls
Charles' is shaved to look like a college mascot
NORFOLK, Va. - Who knew that a haircut could cause so much trouble?
Three people called police when they saw what they believed to be a lion running through the streets in Norfork, Va.
What they didn't know, was that the "lion" was actually a dog.
A 4-year-old Labrador-poodle mix named Charles the Monarch is intentionally shaved and groomed to resemble Old Dominion University's lion mascot.
As Charles was roaming around the streets on Tuesday morning, people thought that the dog was a lion that escaped from the Virginia Zoo.
"I'd like to report a lion sighting," the first caller said according to the Virginia-Pilot. "Say that again?" a dispatcher responded.
"I just saw an animal that looked like a small lion." It had "the mange and everything," another caller told the police reported the newspaper.
Upon hearing that there was a lion sighting in the neighborhood, Norfolk police called the zoo to make sure that the lions were all there, which they were.
Later an email was sent out to tell people that the "lion" was just a dog.
Charles' owner Daniel Painter has the dog hang around his business Daniel's Lawn and Garden Center, near Old Dominion University's campus.
The popular dog has his own facebook page with 25,000 likes.

Problem Statement
Due to factors such as soil composition, farmers in Wood County, Ohio are experiencing
significantly lower corn yields per acre when practicing no-till over wheat
stubble than farmers who move back to conventional tillage, 89 bushels compared
to 96 bushels respectively. Many farmers are moving back toward conventional
tillage because of the substantial difference in yield. For instance between
1995 and 1996 one northwest Ohio county lost 12,964 acres of no-till corn. This
reduces the nutrient and soil erosion control benefits proportionately.
Wood County, Ohio is the highest wheat producing county in the state. When planting
corn into wheat stubble farmers experienced a substantial reduction in yield
because Wood County's clay soils stay wetter and colder into the spring when
farmed by no-till methods than by conventional tillage. The county is also an
important component of the Maumee Remedial Action Plan (RAP) which had targeted
sediment and nutrient loading reduction as important components of the plan.
Wood County has the highest targeted reduction goal for phosphorous with the
lowest amount of highly erodible land, very few acres enrolled in the Conservation
Reserve Program and only 2 percent of total cropland in hay. Crop residue management,
therefore, is the only reasonable means to achieve phosphorus reduction goal
which means increasing the acreage under conservation tillage, not reducing
it. In addition, tillage destroys soil structure improvements provided by conservation
tillage, including microbial activity in organic matter.
This loss can be addressed by introducing zone or strip-tilling
which places nutrients, such as phosphorus and potassium, in tilled bands 5-8
inches deep in the fall. Through this process nutrients are not exposed to wind
and water erosion and they are concentrated into a smaller area for an overall
reduction in amount used by 33 percent. At the same time a mound in which seed
will be planted is prepared. In the spring the mound will be 5-10 (F) warmer
than untouched soil which is significant since corn will not grow below 52 (F),
while pathogens thrive at temperatures between 40 (F) and 52 (F).
The project team purchased a 12-row DMI Precision Air caddy, tool bar and air
unit with the grant money early in the summer of 1997. A tractor was also leased
through a complimentary funding source. This equipment was used on thirteen
different fields to determine effectiveness.
The equipment was on display at the Wood County Fair in August,
1997. Everyone at the fair was invited to view the equipment in action at the
Strip Tillage Demonstration on the evening of August 7, 1997 near Bowling Green,
Ohio. Invitations were also mailed to over nine hundred people who have an interest
in the program and a press release went out to all area media.
Ninety people attended the demonstration, which also included
an update on local 1997 conservation tillage (con-til) plots, an explanation
of new equipment from a sales representative, and a presentation from an agricultural
specialist on the benefits of tracked equipment. The Wood County Con-Til Club
provided a free dinner. The demonstration was deemed successful even through
the fertilizers were not released.
Landowners were charged a minimal fee of $4.00 per acre to use
the equipment. Altogether, eight landowners have used this equipment, with a
total of 850 acres strip tilled in 1997. An interesting addition to this program
was the requirement to have each participant provide test data. For comparison,
landowners split their field into normal practice and strip till. They signed
a contract to provide the Wood County SWCD with their production and yield data
for evaluation. The data included field and soils information, direct crop inputs,
N-P-K fertilizers, other fertilizers, pesticides, field operations, indirect
and total costs.
Significant reduction in no-till corn yields planted into wheat
stubble is a major issue in Wood County. The trend to revert back to conventional
tillage is an unfortunate result. This strip tillage equipment has now been
used by eight farmers to till 850 acres. Available data only covers one planting
year but data will continue to be gathered through the 2000 planting year for

is there a light at the end of my tunnel!?
he tests me everyday and is such a busy little guy....we try so hard to be consistent with 'punishment' (i use that VERY lightly - timeout is about as harsh as it gets or is needed) and teaching him and i always make him look at me when i give direction so it's not just lost in space while i speak.
for the most part he is so sweet and will listen and helps out if i ask him to put things away (he loves to help unload the dishwasher). he is always kissing his little brother and loves kissing momma and daddy.
please tell me (if you've been through this) that he'll get better at listening, not throwing tantrums, doing things only because i said no...
and yes i get that he's a 2 year old boy and its probably a phase but i'm finding that hard to believe right now! just need some encouragement!
I have heard that people usually have a bad year at age 2, 3 or 4. For me, it was age 4. The first half of their 4's was a daily struggle and they weren't fun to be around. I think we've turned a corner but I take it day by day.
Just be as consistent as you can with him in regards to discipline, sleeping, eating, etc. and hopefully the phase will be short lived!
It's not a boy/girl thing, some kids are just more intense than other kids.
DS1 is much grouchier than DS2, so we had to deal with a lot more temper tantrums with him. DS2 is just so so so active and loud and into everything, that it's a whole new set of things to deal with at two. Little kids are hard, no matter how they act. Hang in there!
DS2 - Oct 2010 (my VBAC baby!)
ariel06:I feel like it gets better in some ways and more challenging in others.
2.5-3 was such a rough patch for us. Like, totally kicked my butt. He hit 3 and suddenly it got easier again (although I remember a rough - not as rough as 2.5-3 - patch prior to his 2nd birthday too, so maybe as he approaches birthdays it gets harder?). But he's still allllll about testing boundaries. I've had many people warn me about 3 though. I'm skerrrred. Something tells me as we approach the latter half of 3 things will get sticky again.
Hate to tell you (just as much as I hated to hear it), but 3 has been much harder for us than 2 was. At 2...ds was always on the go, a little ball of energy, into everything, so it was just exhausting. But at 3 going on 4, he's still that, but added also deliberately misbehaving and testing limits, back talk, hitting intentionally rather than just like instinctively.
Hopefully yours is getting all his trouble out now, but unfortunately for lots of us 3 was worse and we're still looking for things to get better!
I have a 2 year old boy and this sounds sooo familiar. On his bad days "spirited" would be putting it lightly. I feel your pain. I don't really have any advice other than be consistent with your expectations and consequences when it comes to big stuff and pick your battles with small stuff.
For us, it kinds of ebbs and flows. 2y9m-3 was tough then it got better for a bit. The past month has been brutal-prob the toughest we've been through yet.
i hate to be the alarmist, but many kids who are spirited have sensory issues-that was the case with my son. Implementing a sensory diet helped immensely. Might be something worth looking into.

The Idle No More movement will mean so much more to First Nations people than it does to me. But as a woman close to 70 years old and with memories of living in northern Saskatchewan, I feel as elated, I'm sure, as many elders do when watching this movement grow.
Yesterday I watched a video of 700 people marching under the banner of Idle No More in the northern town of La Ronge where I spent my teenaged years. It brought back so many memories, and I wondered if the young people involved in the demonstration had any idea of their own history in this town.
I wondered if they knew when their people walked down that same road, their eyes were usually diverted, if they knew that their grandparents were not allowed into the only bar and were unwelcome in the restaurants on that road. I wondered if they knew the extent of the incredible poverty and disease on the reservation and the separation of the town from the reserve.
This wasn't so many years ago, and all Canadians should be aware of this recent history. As for me, the Idle No More movement means 700 people walking down that road with eyes not diverted.

I love these again I am a lipgloss junkie. I Love my lips to shine and look great. These are very cheap and do a great job for the money. The smell is not over powering and the consistany of the product is great. These lipgloss are great they have more then enough colors and every one that is looking for a gloss will find a color that they like. Try these if you have not. I get the ones that go with the lipstick that I have. Which is almost all of them.
Yes Id buy this again. Its a soft, creamy, non-sticky lipgloss. The colour payoff isnt as great as the ad says BUT is better than most lipglosses!!!! Id buy this again, as my lips seem to love it :)
I love these lip glosses. After spending a small fortune on a bunch of Buxoms over the past few years, I got tired of my family complaining when I kissed them with the "burning lipstick." Plus, my $20 a pop lip gloss habit was hurting our budget. I was surprised when a chic friend recommended the ColorSensational lipsticks. I bought one, and liked it, but I prefer the natural look of a glossl, so I started checking out the ColorSensational lip glosses. Well, they are fabulous.
~Excellent color range - I like a variety of choices
~Smooths my lips and keeps them soft- no flakes!
~Subtle shimmer - gives dimension without big glitters!
~Gentle orange scent that fades quickly
~Inexpensive - many of us are trying to cut back these days
~Available everywhere - no inconvenient trips to the mall
~True to color - if it looks pigmented in the tube, it is - if not, it's sheer
~Makes lips look full without burning sensation
~Lasts longer than other glosses I've tried - maybe 3 hours
~A trifle sticky - long hair might get caught on a windy day
~Plain package - not bad, but totally plain squared tube
~You might not like the smell if you prefer unscented products
I have five colors:
Raspberry Sorbet - fruity pink with a gentle shimmer
Mocha Glaze - shimmering neutral sandy cafe au lait, but doesn't come
off "dead" on medium complexions
Sugared Honey - natural coraly-rose with a soft shimmer
Pink Perfection - very, very light pink, but it leaves a lovely pearly shine
Broadway Bronze - despite the silly name, it is a pretty bronzy-caramel
If you like your lips to look healthy and radiant, not too made up or fake, I think you will enjoy these glosses. And I like that in this time of belt-tightening, my favorite indulgence no longer costs me a $20 bill! I like to purchase them at Harmon with a coupon. I hope you enjoy!

This is my all time favorite lip gloss. It smells nice, doesn't taste bad if you accidentally get some in your mouth, doesn't dry out your lips, gives a good color, very pigmented, buildable, not too much shine, similar to a liquid lipstick, decent price.
Update: Still loving it! The shade I got...I forgot the name but it's a deep berry color...is a little dark for me, but as long as I just use a little and blend it out with my finger, it still works fine. It lasts forever if you use it this way.

I've got a bunch of them, because they didn't have tester where I got them. Since then, I've given them to everybody I know. The reason why I rated this one lippie is because I simple cannot handle the smell. It's so strong it makes my throat dry and gives me a headache. It lasts for a good amount of time, but at the same time manages to dry out my lips so bad I just want to wipe it off asap. It even leaves little white stuff along my lips which is extremely unattractive. Overall, I very much dislike this gloss.

So i didnt actually buy this, I took my cousins. I have Pink Perfection. FIRST OFF, this is NOT PIGMENTED. it is very shimmery and is fantastic for layering or if you want some shine and shimmer. Its not sticky at all, which is fantastic. obviously its not long lasting, its a gloss. I like it a lot, but I'm not a gloss girl, so I won't get it again.
not sticky
not gritty sparkles
great layering quality
no pigment
comes off really fast
leaves a sparkly residue
cheap packaging
overall, I recommend this to those who like shimmer or layering.

Bought this tonight as a replacement for my BE Buxom gloss (I couldn't afford to replace that right now). I have to say that I am very pleased. I bought #055- Rasberry Sorbet.
The color payoff is wonderful - it's just slightly less coverage than a full lipstick. I was sort of wary of the sparkle/shimmer/pearly specks in the tube, but I was pretty suprised that they aren't noticeable once it's applied.
The formula, in my opinion is awesome. It is incredibly smooth and creamy and it doesn't feel like a traditional lipgloss. I first put in my dark car as soon as I bought it. I couldn't see well but when I felt the texture I was almost positive that there was no shine because it just felt too velvety. I was expecting to go home and find a matte color. I was super stoked to see that it actually did shine like a gloss too. Score!
As for the smell - it's a very light orange-y taste. It certainly isn't the worst I have encountered, but not awesome either. It wouldn't prevent me from buying it again, however. Unless you are really sensitive to smells and tastes, this won't be a problem for you.
I hate the packaging...it looks way cheap (but, it was, so you get what you pay for I suppose). There is no label on the outside body and it just looks very retro to me. Maybe I'm vain, but I'd rather spend extra money for a prettier package (think Dior glosses) to carry around in public.
This gloss was worth the $5.68 I paid for it and I'd buy it again for sure, but it won't be one that I carry with me mainly because the packaging is ugly. I'll keep it in my makeup drawer for use before going out and touch up with something else during the day.

I bought Stellar Berry and Coffee Kiss.
Both products have silver shimmer which I was apprehensive about because usually silver shimmered lip gloss/highlighters are not recommend on dark skin (gold is). They both have a sweet orange (but not sickly) smell which I really love. The shimmer is very fine and not gritty. The colours are not overly glossy, both are pigmented and make the lips look absolutely gorgeous. Both these colours looks good on dark skin.
Stellar Berry has a medium plummy colour that is perfect for everyday wear or even a special occasion, very vibrant but not over powering.
Coffee Kiss is more a nude, it subtly enhances the lips making them look plumper.
The formulation is moisturising (not sticky at all) and lasts a long time. The price for these is usually a bit steep for me in the lip gloss department but I would purchase them again.

This is probably some of the smoothest lip gloss Ive tried yet and I have tried many many different lip glosses because i really like lip glosses. I have about 6 or 7 of these and would get more i like them that much. They are so smooth good color pay off and last a while. I have nothing bad to say about this lip gloss all the ones i have tried have been so so great and they come in a great range of colors.. If you have not tried this lip gloss i say give it try and see what you think but i bet you will not be dissappointed!!

AU Summit Urges South Sudan to Peacefully-End Political Dispute
Addis Ababa, 29 January 2014 (WIC) — The Africa Union executive council meeting, held in the Ethiopian capital Monday, has urged South Sudan's warring parties to peacefully end their political dispute.
The call comes days after delegations from South Sudan government and its rebels on Thursday signed a cessation of hostilities agreement seeking to end nearly six weeks of fighting in the country.
The security situations in South Sudan and the Central African Republic (CAR) formed the main agenda of the meeting, mainly attended by African foreign affairs ministers.
Tedros Adhanom, the Ethiopian foreign minister described the situation in both South Sudan and CAR "very alarming," but congratulated the world youngest nation on its ceasefire deal.
"There is no justification for the continuation of the crises in both places even for a day," said Adhanom, also chairperson of the AU executive council.
"The current situation in South Sudan is a reflection of the challenges that face a post-conflict state and needs to be handled with a lot of wisdom and magnanimity," he added.
Participants at the summit further urged the two warring south Sudanese parties to show political commitment to end the crises and the suffering of tens of thousands of people.
"The South Sudanese political actors should rise above their individual interest to save the country from falling into the precipice," stressed the Ethiopian prime minister, as both parties continue trading accusation against each other of violating last week's agreement.
Also on the agenda at the two-day meeting are agriculture and food security issues.
While opening the summit, the chairperson of the AU Commission Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma said the summit would focus on reviewing security situations on the continent and devise mechanisms of handling its conflicts.
"The cost of conflicts and internal strife are too huge. We must therefore continue to create climates for peace and stability, including effective, democratic and accountable governance and institutions, and by ensuring development and shared prosperity", said Dlamini-Zuma. (allafrica.com)
