Bart Borden, vice president of the Cleveland Utilities Electric Division which has coordinated the city's traffic signal network for the past couple of years, said the new WaveTronics radar vehicle detection equipment has been installed to replace aged and failing traffic monitors.
The new devices aren't a big brotherly approach to law enforcement.
"The radar is used solely to detect vehicles in a region and is not used for speed detection or red-light running purposes," Borden clarified in a recent formal session of the Cleveland Board of Public Utilities. "The new equipment is working very efficiently."
By investing in aerial equipment that operates above ground, CU is improving the accuracy of traffic detection while saving on long-term costs, Borden explained. Traditionally, detection equipment of the past has been looped in under the pavement and must be replaced with every milling operation and repaving of junctions. The more modern technology will save on such costs.
"When the milling projects come in ... we don't have that cost of replacing the loops in the pavement," Borden said.
Borden described the new devices using hand motions, "They look like white square boxes about this large. We can draw and design the software where they detect. It is very, very useful ... [such as] for configuration of intersection changes. It allows us to modify what that device sees."
He added, "We're also finding we can use one device to look at multiple areas and save a great deal on cost."
In answer to a question by board chairman Aubrey Ector, Borden confirmed the modern detection equipment is also better at detecting motorcycles in an intersection.
Like underground loop equipment formerly used at the multi-laned intersection, the above-ground devices are used to detect the presence of vehicles in all directions which in turn coordinates the traffic signal cycles.
In another traffic report, Borden said data collection is continuing for motorist counts on the 25th Street corridor. All turn movement counts have been supplied to a Knoxville traffic engineering firm — Cannon & Cannon Inc. — which is the same consultant that conducted similar studies on the busy Paul Huff Parkway.
The only traffic count exceptions are Chambliss Avenue and Keith Street. Chambliss was counted, but it being processed by Miovision, a technology that CU now possesses. The Keith Street junction information was delayed because of the vehicle detection project.
Borden also pointed out replacement signs for the Inman Street railroad underpass had been ordered and were recently shipped. The east and west approaches along Inman are being fitted with the new signage, he said.
"The signs will equipped with 24 LED lamps and will have a continuous, steady flash rate as required by MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices). Borden displayed an illustration which reads "Low Clearance," and it specifies the maximum clearance to be "10FT 10IN."
In one other traffic report, Borden said the long delay in continuing the road-widening project on Durkee Road and Benton Pike is getting even longer.
"The Benton Pike and Durkee Road project is still on hold, as it has been for several months because of a single required easement [involving] legal issues with the property title," Borden said. "We're very hopeful TDOT (Tennessee Department of Transportation) will be able to acquire that easement very soon.
The road-widening project is intended to ease traffic flow in the Benton Pike and Durkee Road junction. Traffic counts, as previously expected, have increased dramatically since the opening of the new Whirlpool Cleveland Division plant and Factory Distribution Center on Benton Pike.
In other reports by Borden to the utility board:
n Work on the new district substation on 9th Street near the old Cleveland Chair site continues with the demolition of the old and outdated CU substation, the pouring of foundation footings and the removal of the old control house. Ross Construction is the contractor placing the footings. Borden pointed out, "This work is going at a slower place than what we normally see, but they (Ross) are doing a very good job and are being very careful to maintain proper spacing of anchor bolts and foundations, which is critical when steel erection begins."
n Design work is underway on the underground feed electric system that will provide service to Phase I of Brooks Edge Apartments.
n TDOT has delayed the letting of bids for the APD 40 Interchange at State Route 308 (industrial park access). "The delays are a result of major conflicts with petroleum fuel lines and TVA high voltage towers," Borden said. "The latest report indicates the distribution of final right of way and utility plans are now scheduled for Sept. 3." However, the project could be pushed out even further, he said.
n Design work is underway for Silver Springs Subdivision Phases II and III on Old Freewill Road. The first phase of the subdivision, consisting of 39 lots, is completed and is located outside the city limits. Volunteer Energy Cooperative serves this phase of the development. Phases II and III are being annexed into the city at the request of the developer. These two phases will consist of 49 new residential lots and CU will serve them.
- A work order has been issued to install electric facilities for eight new townhomes on Pryor Drive between Ramsey Street and Sharon Drive.
- A work order has been issued to provide electric service to 14 lots for townhomes in Frontage Village located on Frontage Road.
- CU's engineering department is working with the Cleveland Housing Authority to determine the electrical needs for a project to renovate apartments located between Clemmer and Baugh streets.
- CU's engineering department has released a work order to extend overhead primary (power lines) to serve numerous hangers at the Cleveland Regional Jetport that are under development or in construction on the north end of the property. In addition, CU contractor Asplundh installed underground primary conduits to serve hangers between the new terminal and the north end of the property. The Jetport Authority paid for the labor and materials in the form of a "contribution-in-aid-of-construction."
- A work order was prepared and released to relocate 1,200 feet of underground primary conductors and a single-phase pad mount transformer was removed to provide space for a building expansion at Bradley Square Mall. The additional space is needed for a new Santa Fe Steakhouse to be located in the mall.
- CU line crews installed seven new pole-mounted transformers on Pleasant Grove Church Road and transfered 16 electric services from Volunteer Energy Cooperative transformers. The pole line facilities and services are being purchased from VEC due to the section of Pleasant Grove Church Road being annexed into the city. Borden said CU will pay VEC 25 percent of the revenues from these customers for 10 years based on Tennessee state law.

These are the sheets that wick away moisture to create a comfortable, consistent humidity in a sleeping climate. The sheets are embedded with millions of microporous, 0.002mm diameter particles that are undetectable by sleepers and capture, vaporize, and release moisture away from the body to help preserve an optimal microclimate. The particles create 800% more surface area on the fabric, providing greater exposure to moisture and removing it 5X faster than typical fabrics. Since the particles are permanently embedded in the yarn they will never degrade or wash out. Made from 80% cotton and 20% cocona, the 300-thread count sheets are luxuriously soft and smooth. Includes one fitted, one flat sheet, and two pillowcases. White or Ivory.

We use glue guns a lot. Regular hardware store items. Is there a particularly superior glue gun, much better than others? asked Mar 02 '12 at 13:13 Kevin Kelly |
After going though several inexpensive craft-store guns, I broke down and purchase the 3M Scotch-Weld AE II. My only regret is not doing it sooner. Heats and dispenses faster, easier to control, and built like a tank; I'll be shocked if I ever have to buy a new one. linkanswered Mar 20 '12 at 15:48 miguel v |
you'd be better off to get a professional gun. 3M makes some fine ones. The commercial guns stay in the product 'pipeline' longer, have longer service life and use the best glues. They cost more but they will last forever. linkanswered Mar 13 '12 at 07:32 |
Professional interest warning: Henkel Employee here. Depends on what you need the gun to do. The biggest difference in guns is the dispense rate, ie. how much glue it squeezes out per minute. The determining factor of dispense rate is the size of the heater. Heater size is related to the size of the hot melt glue stick. Think of a 1/4" glue stick (about the size of a pencil)- the heater will be the size of a pencil; therefore the gun will be slow, users tend to mash the trigger, and melt rate is limited. On the other hand a Henkel "Polyshot" is a hot melt stick 1.75 inches in diameter. The Polyshot guns therefore have 1 and 3/4 heating elements and will dispense up to 8 lbs. of material per hour- that's a lot of hotmelt.
Please reference our equipment website "equipment.loctite.com" for a selection of hotmelt dispense guns. They are not cheap, but they are high quality. You get what you pay for, right? The "Hysol 0.50A" is the lightest gun we sell. It costs more that the hobby store guns, but it's an industrial model suitable for occasional users. For any serious application, spend the money to buy an "AIR" or pneumatically powered model. This eliminates the Repetitive Stress Injury issues of having to squeeze the trigger to move the glue. These units rely on air pressure to push the glue out.
Also remember to let a hot melt gun warn up properly, typically 10-15 minutes. Can't be hurried.
You can go to Toyota for a truck, but that truck won't hall a 18 wheeler trailer. Kenworth, Mack and Freightliner are the tools for that specific job. answered Mar 12 '12 at 07:27 Mark |
The Surebonder H-185 is fantastic. It has a much finer tip than most glue guns I've used, allowing better control of glue placement. And it has a power switch, so you don't have to unplug the tool to turn it off. linkanswered Mar 11 '12 at 11:31 dave_katz |

I can't speak for the other rugs, but the blue one is not as shown. Aside from the color, the rug is quite nice. It just didn't work in my room.
RECOMMENDED: No, I would not recommend this to a friend.This rug is a beautiful addition for any home.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This rug is soft and the color matches the picture on the website. No surprises, which is good!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.This is a great looking rug! I love the color,there is no bad smell and it doesn't shed!
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I had a little problem with tracking numbers and quick responses but overall I love the quality of this rug. It is a deeper teal than pictured but works really well in my living room. Quality is great and no bad odors.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.The rug far exceeds my expectations. The quality and workmanship are wonderful - feels great under foot, no pad needed. Great value at a very reasonable price.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.I absolutly love this carpet..wasnt expecting the center to look almost like a tweed,,its an ivory and neutral mixed together with the border being solid neutral. The border makes my room look so much bigger..highly recommend it.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.5 Stars! second rug I have purchased from this series - one round for the dining area and 1 rectangle for my master bedroom. Price is unbelievable for the quality of the rugs.
RECOMMENDED: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

OWENSBORO, Ky. (5/2/14) — The City of Owensboro is asking for the public's help keeping Owensboro beautiful and safe as the grass growing season is upon us.
We receive many calls starting this time of year about tall grass violations, which not only is an eyesore, but can also be a potential hazard to public health. As a friendly reminder, any person that owns property within the municipal boundaries shall maintain their property, including keeping grass trimmed at or below the measurement of ten inches.
If a violation occurs, the property owner may be issued a citation for weeds and/or grass nuisance, and will be additionally required to bring the property into code compliance. The code enforcement officer may, with the citation, serve the violator with notice that the city shall cause such violation to be corrected at the owner's expense if the violation has not been corrected.
The citation schedule for tall grass is as follows:
Violation (Uncontested), Property Maintenance and Nuisances, Non-Structural Violations
- First offense $75.00.
- Second offense $150.00.
- Third offense $300.00.
Please help keep Owensboro beautiful this summer by keeping your property maintained.

IC Verification and Signoff Using Calibre
Mentor's IC verification and sign-off includes not only traditional rule-based physical verification and parasitic extraction, but also new capabilities and automated technologies that help improve yield by enhancing the design itself.
Calibre® is the overwhelming market share leader and the industry standard for IC physical verification, due to the outstanding performance, accuracy and reliability of Calibre products. Over the last two years, Calibre nmDRC™ has reduced average DRC runtime by a factor of five, while Calibre's innovative Hyperscaling and MTFlex™ technologies have cut memory requirements in half. Calibre nmDRC also reduced overall cycle time with incremental DRC, which allows designers to make DRC runs in parallel. As DRC violations are reported, designers can immediately fix and recheck just the affected areas, while the initial DRC run continues.
To handle complex and multi-variate, multi-dimensional checks that are not adequately addressed by traditional design rules, Calibre nmDRC's equation-based DRC (eqDRC) capability enables designers to express design rule checks as continuous, multi-dimensional functions that accurately and precisely reflect underlying physical interactions. With eqDRC, designers can use Calibre nmDRC to address complex DFM issues that other DRC tools simply can't handle.
Calibre nmLVS provides actual device geometry measurement, programmable electrical rule checking, and sophisticated interactive debugging capabilities to ensure accurate circuit verification and further improve the designer's productivity.
Calibre Pattern Matching
Pattern-driven design correction, analysis and verification
- Streamline and simplify complex checks
- Integrate with all major design environments

Calibre Training
We have training courses available for Calibre products in our training centers around the world, online, or at your site.
"I was using a previous version of Calibre. I had a complex lvs problem that I was having difficulty locating where the problem was. A Mentor AE recommended I upgrade to the latest version which had lots of improvements in the GUI and reporting of errors. The new Calibre RVE/LVS took me right to the coordinates of the violating instance, and I was able to see the short right away. And it told me exactly which node it was shorted to. I would certainly encourage Calibre users to look into upgrading to the latest release of the software."

I'm sorry but I have tried every eyeliner that is a so called dupe of this eyeliner and none of them have measured up to Perversion. It is THE best pencil eyeliner I have found for the water line. I have repeatedly bought this eyeliner.
3 out of 3 users found this review helpful
Was this review helpful? Yes No
Perversion is a really deep, dark black with a matte finish. It's very creamy (more so than the majority of the 24/7 Pencils) but still works well.

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a heart condition in which there is an abnormal extra electrical pathway of the heart. The condition can lead to episodes of rapid heart rate (tachycardia ).
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is one of the most common causes of fast heart rate disorders in infants and children.
Preexcitation syndrome; WPW
Normally, electrical signals in the heart go through a certain pathway that helps the heart beat regularly. The wiring of the heart prevents extra beats from occurring and keeps the next beat from happening too soon.
In people with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, some of the heart's electrical signal goes down an extra (accessory) pathway. This may cause a very rapid heart rate called supraventricular tachycardia.
Most people with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome do not have any other heart problems. However, this condition has been linked with other conditions, such as Ebstein's anomaly . There is also a form that runs in families.
How often the rapid heart rate occurs depends on the patient. Some people with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome may have just a few episodes of rapid heart rate. Others may have the rapid heart rate once or twice a week or more. Sometimes there are no symptoms, and the condition is found when a heart test is done for another reason.
A person with this syndrome may have:
An exam performed during a tachycardia episode will show a heart rate faster than 100 beats per minute. A normal heart rate is 60 - 100 beats per minute in adults, and under 150 beats per minute in newborns, infants, and small children. Blood pressure will be normal or low.
If the patient is currently not having tachycardia, the physical exam may be completely normal.
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome may be diagnosed through continuous ambulatory ECG monitoring, such as with a Holter monitor .
A test called an electrophysiologic study (EPS ) is done using catheters that are threaded up to the heart from an IV placed in the leg. It may help identify the location of the extra electrical pathway.
Medicine such as adenosine, antiarrhythmic drugs, and amiodarone may be used to control or prevent a rapid heartbeat.
If the heart rate does not return to normal with medication, doctors may use a type of therapy called electrical cardioversion (shock).
The long-term treatment for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is catheter ablation. This procedure involves inserting a tube (catheter) into an artery through a small cut near the groin up to the heart area. When the tip reaches the heart, the small area that is causing the fast heart rate is destroyed using a special type of energy called radiofrequency.
Open heart surgery to burn or freeze the extra pathway may also provide a permanent cure for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. However, surgery is usually done only if you need surgery for other reasons.
Catheter ablation cures this disorder in most patients. The success rate for the procedure ranges between 85 and 95%. Success rates will vary depending on the location and number of extra pathways.
The most severe form of a rapid heartbeat is ventricular fibrillation . It may rapidly lead to shock or death, and requires emergency treatment (cardioversion). Atrial fibrillation can lead to ventricular fibrillation.
Call your health care provider if:
Because there are some inherited forms of this condition, discuss with your health care provider whether your family members should be screened.

We just put wood floors down throughout living room, kitchen and dining room. Looked at many rugs and couldn't be happier with my choice. This rug is placed under my dining room table. I vacuum it with my floor attachment. The colors are beautiful...picture on web doesn't do it justice. Laid flat immediately. I'm ordering one more for my living room.
Just got my rug and I love it. Great braid, the quality is a lot better than the ones from Colonial Mills. Thanks
Homespice Decor
In 2000, J Quilts Company offered their first braided rugs. Immediately, the rugs were a huge success. Stores were selling the rugs before the product could even be unwrapped! The demand for the braided rugs grew at an unprecedented rate. In January 2006, the decision was made to change the companys name from J Quilts Company to Homespice Décor in order to more accurately reflect the core products of the business. Today, Homespice Décor has become an industry leader in braided rugs (outdoor, indoor, wool, cotton), and has expanded line to include Penny Rugs and Rag Rugs.

That broad reach seems borne out by results like those of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc., which reported net sales up 11% in 2012 in fresh-cut. Chairman and chief executive officer Mohammad Abu-Ghazaleh said his company is the biggest branded fresh-cut food supplier in the U.S.
For sliced-apple specialist Crunch Pak, Cashmere, Wash., past is prologue. Its future lies in snack and breakfast items, said Tony Freytag, marketing director. Sales of Crunch Pak tray snacks — such as Apple Snackers, Dipperz and Disney Foodles — are up about 250% over a year ago.
"We'll be introducing new products at United Fresh," Freytag said, referring to the May 14-16 trade show in San Diego.
Lately Crunch Pak research has focused on breakfast-themed snacks, he said.
"Clearly, innovation is more snack-driven in fruit," said Steve Kenfield, vice president of sales and marketing for Kingsburg, Calif.-based HMC Group Marketing Inc.
"Snacks are the strongest area we've got."
HMC Farms offers snacks under the Grape Escape label. It's also added a 1-pound tray to its line of ONEders destemmed grapes.
Pouch parade
In packaging, stand-up pouches are spreading. Freshline Foods, now in its second year with pouches, added nine stock-keeping units in 12 months.
"We're promoting those like crazy," Brigido said.
The Canadian processor's line includes sliced apples, peeled parisienne potatoes, cubes of turnip or butternut squash, and others.
Sales of value-added potatoes in microwaveable bags are up over last year but some retailers still aren't carrying them, Kevin Stanger, senior vice president of sales and marketing for Wada Farms, Idaho Falls, Idaho, said in March.
Getting trials in prominent display spaces has been a challenge, but so has a rise in products from competitors.
Kale, carrots, celery
In the salad mix category, demand for kale blends shows no sign of slowing. Salinas, Calif.-based Church Bros. LLC is the latest in a long line of product introductions with its Italian Greens for foodservice.
"Kale is the darling of everybody these days," Means said.
Oxnard, Calif.-based San Miguel Produce reports its value-added kale sales more than doubled in 2012. The company's products include four SuperKale Salad Slaws launched then under its Cut 'n Clean Greens label.
Carrots are also going along for the ride.
"The solid growth is coming from the value-added sector of our business, (which is up) 12.8%," said Bob Borda, vice president of marketing for Bakersfield, Calif.-based Grimmway Farms. He was comparing the four weeks ending Jan. 27 to a year ago.
