[IMAGE]MET6response.jpg[/IMAGE]Because of the sheer volume of people riding transit each day, transportation systems are vulnerable in emergency situations. And according to the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA) Security and Emergency Preparedness Planning Guide, transit systems are inherently "open" environments, and therefore, difficult to protect. Whether it's a hurricane, terrorist attack or vehicle collision that occurs, transit systems need to have extensive emergency response plans in place to prevent loss of life.
"We're responsible for a lot of people every day, and I wanted to make sure that everybody, including our employees, is safe," says Jeanne Krieg, CEO Tri Delta Transit in Antioch, Calif.
Perhaps the most pressing threat since 2001 is that of terrorism. As federal agencies have continued to emphasize, transit systems are potential targets for terrorist attacks. The most deadly attacks on transit systems to occur in recent years were the March 11, 2004, bombing of multiple trains in Madrid that left 191 people dead and 1,500 injured, and the July 7, 2005 attacks on trains and buses in London, which killed 35 and injured 1,000.
With this level of danger as a possibility, transit agencies have used guidelines and directives from the federal government as well as resources from state and local agencies to compile emergency response plans and execute disaster drills.
Drafting the plan
Krieg began her career at Tri Delta Transit in 1991. When she became general manager four years later, she felt it was important to implement a comprehensive emergency response plan. Director of Administrative Services Ann Hutcheson was assigned to be the point person for the project and worked with Krieg to pull together resources and information.
Hutcheson referred to FTA and the American Public Transportation Association (APTA) for guidelines in developing the plan, as well as the Oregon Department of Transportation and other transit agencies in the area. Tri Delta Transit also consulted with agencies within Antioch, attending quarterly meetings held at the emergency operations center run by the police department. "That's how I met people and gathered information," she says. "The Red Cross people were there, the county OES (Office of Emergency Services) people were there."
In addition, the city's Office of Emergency Services, in partnership with a contractor hired by the FTA Office of Security, provided a threat assessment at no charge that identified vulnerabilities to the transit system. Those vulnerabilities were then addressed in the development of the emergency response plan.
The end result was the compilation of Tri Delta Transit's Security and Emergency Preparedness Program (SEPP). FTA regulations require all rail transit systems to have such plans in place, and the agency provides resources through its Safety and Security Webpage at http://transit-safety.volpe.dot.gov/default.asp.
Hutcheson says the biggest challenge in putting the plan together was taking on such a comprehensive project while trying to take care of her regular job duties at the same time. "From a small operator's perspective, it is kind of a lot of work because the bigger guys have one staff person that does just this. And of course, they have all these other things that we just don't have, like tunnels. So it does take some time - you can't just cookie-cutter it. You have to go through the information and find what would apply to you," she explains.
The Tri Delta Transit plan outlines the responsibilities of various leaders and officers within the agency, as well as information for all personnel. It also addresses bomb threat response, biological and chemical agents, use of a transit vehicle as a weapon, network failure and cyber attacks, weapons of mass destruction, violent incidents and hostage situations, how to identify suspicious activity, loss of power, and emergency closing and evacuations.
On the other end of the spectrum, King County Metro Transit, headquartered in Seattle, is one of the largest transit systems in the country, with a dedicated emergency program staff position. Homeland Security Program Manager Mike DeCapua has an extensive background in law enforcement, including service as a chief of police, SWAT team commander and member of the Department of Homeland Security's Target Capability List Working Group.
DeCapua's goal in creating King County Metro's emergency plan was to improve upon federal requirements and create an all-hazards response plan. "The plan deals at the tactical level and demonstrates how our incident command system within Metro meshes with public safety incident command, and also describes what each of our responding sections would do at 15 different types of emergencies," he says. In 2008, the Transportation Security Administration recognized the agency's plan and corresponding training and exercise program as an industry best practice.
DeCapua is also the founding associate of Public Safety Consultants Northwest LLC, and oversees the company's Homeland Security training and consulting programs.
Allows sales of model year 2015 Allison H 40/50 EP™ hybrid propulsion system paired with the Cummins ISB6.7 and ISL9 diesel-electric hybrid engines for transit buses and coaches.
The campaign is similar to the one developed for subways, with the focus on reminding passengers that avoiding certain behaviors can ensure a faster and more pleasant ride for everyone. Reminders include step aside to let others off first; remove your backpack; and don't clip your nails on the bus.
While Founder Matt George is interested in connecting Capitol Hill, K Street and Dupont Circle, it's not yet clear if those will be the neighborhoods Bridj starts with. The start-up is encouraging interested customers to request specific routes on its website
The contract for 110 XN40 buses contains a firm order for 52 buses with options for an additional 58 buses and is valued at approximately $53 million dollars.
Des Moines Area Regional Transit's 60-foot low floor articulated buses will replace high-floor buses and include newly installed ramps, remanufactured power trains, transmissions, engines and brakes. It will also be equipped with two ADA compliant wheelchair lifts.

GOP Dumps Three Sitting Judges In Slating
On the Democratic side, all incumbent judges were re-slated by the Marion County Democrats. Each party nominated eight candidates for the superior court and one candidate for the circuit court. Circuit Court Judge Ted Sosin opted for a superior court spot instead of seeking re-election as Circuit Court Judge. Lawrence Township Small Claims Court Judge James Joven edged out Alicia Golden for that spot. The Democrats chose Louis Rosenberg over Steven Poore for the Circuit Court.
As a service to the public, the Indianapolis Bar Association evaluates candidate for judge in Marion County. As you can see from the results, there is no correlation between who the respective parties chose and who members of the bar association recommended as the most qualified for the job. Here are the judicial candidates chosen by each part with the percentage of bar association members approving of the candidates next to their names in parenthesis:
Republican James A. Joven (68.3%)
Democrat Louis F. Rosenberg (80.7%)
Republican Cynthia J. Ayers (78.6%)
Republican David J. Certo (75.0%)
Democrat Annie Christ-Garcia (85.1%)
Democrat David J. Dreyer (92.0%)
Republican Kurt M. Eisgruber (80.8%)
Democrat Garland E. Graves (48.1%)
Democrat Patrick L. McCarty (77.6%)
Republican Robyn L. Moberly (86.2%)
Republican Marilyn A. Moores (80.7%)
Republican Timothy W. Oakes (60.3%)
Democrat James B. Osborn (75.4%)
Democrat Tanya M. Walton Pratt (86.0%)
Republican Marc T. Rothenberg (75.9%)
Democrat David A. Shaheed (89.8%)
Republican Theodore M. Sosin (95.4%)
Democrat Gerald S. Zore (88.4)
If you want to see the judicial survey results for all of the candidates, click here. You will see that Judges Miller (85.5%) and Johnson (82.6%), for example, scored much higher than Timothy Oakes, who was recommended by just 60.3% of the respondents. In the Circuit Court race, Republican Alicia Golden scored much higher than Judge James Hoven, 88.2% to 68.3%.
Today's results might be just what it takes to get the legal community to get off its butt and scrap this antiquated slating system, which often yields lesser-qualified candidates than what a merit selection system would produce. The losing candidates at slating can still run in the May primary; however, many choose not to buck the slate. I believe many in the legal community will be hoping that Judges Miller and Johnson give serious consideration to running to save the party from the embarrassment of having a convicted drunk driver causing death of another person as one of the party's judicial candidates this fall. Of these 16 candidates nominated by the respective parties in the May primary, 8 each, all are guaranteed victory this fall. This makes it all the more important that qualified candidates like Miller and Johnson buck the slating system and offer voters a real choice.

Maybe the Fat Yellow Chicken will haunt GOP events with a simple sign: "OAKES KILLS" ?
Hammel was wretched, the slowest judge around, and that is saying something. Things took forever to move in this court, and he insisted on putting things on the calendar himself. There you, with sixty some defendants on the slate, and he is flipping through a freaking calendar page by slow page trying to find a date.
Miller is the huge upset. I had heard the other two were going to have problems, but can't beleive he got dumped.
Sosin is a good judge. He is leaving the circuit court because he thinks the demographics are against him and he won't win reelection for that seat.
Oakes raised A LOT of money. With that, and the popular Sosin in the running, that explains why Johnson and Hammel got bumped, but does not explain Miller. Has he pissed of someone?
I think the election system you describe is no longer accurate. The party chairman will pick one more nominee after the primary, and then all twenty will be elected. - 7:13 PM GMT-5

The county chairmen don't get to pick a candidate this time, though. That applied only to the last election.
The whole judicial selection system is nuts.
But we get what we elect. If the lawyers don't like a particular judge, I'm not sure that fact alone should disqualify the judge/candidate.
But I've been in about a half-dozen of the courts, for multiple cases. I have been stunned at the lack of experience or common sense demonstrated on the bench. It is rarified air those judges breathe.
Sosin is right. He'd never have gotten re-elected Circuit Judge. That ship has sailed.
And his court was one of the ones I mentioned above. My case was a complicated one, lots of attorneys, and I never had the feeling Sosin was on top of things. Polite, yes. Competent--not so sure.
I'm still stunned that the Democrats renominated Ken Ackles. That they ditched Mary C. Barton isn't a surprise--she's a gadfly.
Last fall's election notwithstanding, this has become a Democratic county. And with the gubernatorial and presidential elections on the ballot this fall, it could become even moreso. - 8:26 PM GMT-5
Only one judicial candidate got less than 50%. Even with the most generous of curves that is no where close to a passing grade.
Whats the difference between Circuit and Superior courts?
- Advance Indiana said...
In Marion County, the biggest difference is the manner in which they are elected. There is just one circuit judge compared to the multiple superior court judges elected at one time. The jurisdiction is similar. The circuit court gets cases reassigned to it which the superior court passes on to it.
Are you advocating that only lawyers get to vote for judges?
Miller and Johnson both had ego problems. Johnson hasn't done anything in the legal profession other than being a judge in 30 years. He proved himself to be really full of himself at GOP Club meetings. Johnson opened his mouth and explained why he's such a legend in the trial court field. Yes, he's a legend in his own mind. Miller never attended any that I attended. It wouldn't have helped him, though. He's a well known jerk. He'll not suffer, though. One of the big firms will hire him once his term is over. Goodin probably was a better choice. Jovan worked a lot harder, though, and that counts. His low ranking on the bar poll probably has to due with low recognition among lawyers as not many attorneys practice much in Small Claims Court. He's a good candidate, though. He's sharp. Oakes, though, is major disappointment. It's crazy. You have potential candidates disqualified for felonies that have been reduced to misdemeanors, have legeslators that voted for the disenfranchisement law say, "When do you put something to rest and give a man another chance?" There are so many others who deserve a second chance that they won't get. Money talks, & etc.
I can't say much about the Democratic side other than it isn't surprising, other than Mahern. Ackles is certainly unqualified for even a 'management' position. Odds are, though, he'll win. - 10:14 PM GMT-5
I think AI is suggesting the legal community, who most directly observes the effects day in and out, should push for overall system change. Since the law changed in 2006, the upshot is 16 judges elected in the fall, w/ no more than 8 on ballot from each party. That means everyone who wins the primary wins automatically in the fall (not counting potential Libertarian, which won't matter). So general election voters have no say. Then, primary voters really have no say either. Unless you get those running against the slate (which seems to happen w. D's some times but not R's) then the voters have no say in the primary either. A few hundred party insiders are the only ones who vote for judges, really. You can barely say they're "elected".
So what happens is it all boils down to which judges ass-kiss the township committee people the most effectively.
In the case of Judge Miller, his downfall apparently was he didn't attend all the township events and was reportedly on vacation the past week and wasn't here working the phones to committee people.
Politically speaking, that was pretty dumb. But it's sad that that's what it boils down to in picking the judges who will be on the bench for 6 years affecting the lives of countless citizens and the public has little to no say. - 10:30 PM GMT-5
10:14, I don't know why you'd think the odds favor Ackles. I think he's gone, and not a moment too soon. He's an embarassment to most Democrats even. The biggest recent countywide winners have been R's (Ballard, CCC at-large, Brizzi), and even though presidential election may turnout huge D's and D-leaners, the coroner's race will get plenty of local attention because of Ackles' problems and Pless's quals.
It's entirely possible, however, that Ackles steps aside despite his slating and someone else will be on the ballot. - 10:38 PM GMT-5
I attended the Demo slating convention today. What a zoo! It was tanding room only in the crowded Farm Bureau Pavilion. After a half hour of speeches following the 10AM start, it took another 2 hours to complete the vote using about 2 dozen Voltronics. I can't believe the way the GOP is self-destructing with their slate after their recent wins in November. They're acting more like the Democrats than the Democrats! Well, we'll see how well the "anointed one" does in the special election against an opponent who has a way of making Democratic votes dissapear.
HoosierNick - 10:38 PM GMT-5
We need to scrap the slating system and have real elections.
Hammel and Johnson had no real support form the legal community. Miller became odd man out because he didn't lift a finger to recruit PC support while Eisgruber, Oakes, and Rotherberg attended almost every local GOP meeting and impressed a lot of people. No one I know held Oakes' past against him. He was a 17-year-old kid and he turned his life around. Most PCs were willing to accept that.

I don't think any candidate for judge should have to kiss the butt of a precinct committeeperson to get elected. The issues with Tim Oakes don't start and stop with the drunk driving death at 17 years of age. Respected people in the legal community knows this. The idea that any group of people could pick him over either Judges Johnson or Miller is a complete joke. These committeepersons have proven themselves completely inept at selecting judges. It has to stop now. We are the laughing stock of the country. Hardly anyone selects judges this way anymore. Even the system in Chicago is better than this one and that isn't saying much. If merit selection is good enough for Lake County, it should be good enough for Marion County.

Why couldn't Miller and/or Johnson run as Independents in the fall? They are surely more electable than some of the clowns on the D & R list. Remember Lieberman in 2006 . . . .
Tom John is to blame for the Tim Oakes fiasco. As the party's leader and an attorney, he should have sat down with Oakes and told him his presence on the ticket would be too much of a negative detraction. I guess he wanted to match the Dems Kenneth Ackles with Tim Oakes instead.
The fact that Marchal was not slated is a damn shame. He was one of the best candidates that the Ds had.
I like how Tim Oakes biography omits the fact he's been working as a lobbyist for the cable TV industry and not practicing law for quite a few years.
there is no perfect way to select judges...i've been around slating for over 12 years, and although not everyone i supported got slated, the slating process worked fairly well as ever yesterday. Miller thought he was entitled and Johnson was there too long with too many angry lawyers substantively complaining about his court. Oakes has been campaigning for this position for 5 years.
Here's the biggest problem with the slating process in Marion County. The Judicial Canon of Ethics prevents judges from attending specific political events, donating to candidates and basically acting political for 5 of the 6 years of their term. The Canon of Ethics makes sense----you don't want judges who are political hacks, but herein lies the problem in Marion County---political hacks are the ones who win through the slating process. It's embarrassing.
Judges in other Indiana counties have to run one versus one in the general election. Sure, it is generally a D vs. an R, but at least the PEOPLE get a choice. Under this current system, the PEOPLE get stuck with political hacks chosen through back room deals and patronage. It's a damn shame. - 8:11 PM GMT-5
As a Republican precinct committeperson who voted in yesterday's slating, I can say I am disgusted by the results. More prominent members of the party actually got in my face and insisted that I vote against Miller during the third and fourth rounds. I could not bring myself to oust an incumbent in favor of a no-name candidate, however. Unfortunately, most of my colleagues did. As an active member of the Marion County GOP, I would willingly support any of the incumbents who decide to run against the slate in the hopes of beating the likes of Eisgruber and Oakes.
Anyone who would like to contact Judge Miller's campaign directly with comments, suggestions, or offers of support may do so by sending an email to email@example.com
How do we get rid of the slating process? We must start working on this immediately.
I'm an active GOP'er and was at the slating convention. I cannot believe Tim Oakes was slated! I do believe in forgiveness and redemption, but I also believe in consequences. Should
Tim Oakes be able go on and live a productive and fulfilling life after committing a tragic mistake in his youth? Absolutely. Should he be able to sit as a judge? No. - 8:00 AM GMT-5

Sandy Springs is a city in northern Fulton County, Georgia, United States, north of Atlanta. According to the 2010 Census, Sandy Springs has a population of 93,853.[6]
In 1842, the Austin-Johnson House was erected on what is now Johnson Ferry Road. It is the oldest house in Sandy Springs.[7] In 1851, Wilson Spruill donated five acres (two hectares) of land for the founding of the Sandy Springs United Methodist Church, near the natural spring for which the city is named. In 1905, the Hammond School was built at Johnson Ferry Road and Mt. Vernon Highway, across the street from the church.
In 1950, the state legislature blocked Atlanta from annexing the community, which remained rural until the Interstate Highway System was authorized by the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956. In 1959, after a fire at Hammond Elementary School, Atlanta Mayor William Hartsfield urged residents to support annexation so that the area would have better firefighting protection. Community opposition killed the proposal. In the early 1960s, Georgia 400 and Interstate 285 were constructed, connecting Sandy Springs to metro Atlanta and initiating a housing boom that brought new residents and major land development. In 1966, annexation by Atlanta was defeated in a referendum, with two-thirds voting against.
Debate over incorporation began in the 1970s when the city of Atlanta attempted to use a state law to force annexation of Sandy Springs. The attempt failed when the Supreme Court of Georgia ruled that the law was unconstitutional. In response, the Committee for Sandy Springs was formed in 1975. In every legislative session, state legislators representing the area introduced a bill in the Georgia General Assembly to authorize a referendum on incorporation. Legislators representing Atlanta and southwestern Fulton County, who feared tax revenue that would be lost from incorporation, blocked the bills using the procedural requirement that all local legislation be approved first by a delegation of representatives from the affected area. In 1989, a push was made for Sandy Springs to join neighboring Chattahoochee Plantation in Cobb County. This move was blocked by Speaker of the House Tom Murphy.
When the Republican Party gained a majority in both houses of the General Assembly in 2005, the procedural rules previously used to prevent a vote by the full chamber were changed so that the bill was handled as a state bill and not as a local bill. The assembly also repealed the requirement that new cities must be at least three miles (4.8 km) from existing cities, because the new city limits border both Roswell and Atlanta. The bill allowing for a referendum on incorporation was introduced and passed as HB 37.[8] The referendum initiative was approved by the Assembly and signed by Governor Sonny Perdue.
The referendum was held on June 21, 2005, and residents voted 94% to 6% in favor of incorporation. Many residents expressed displeasure with county services, claiming, based upon financial information provided by the county, that the county was redistributing revenues to fund services in less financially stable areas of the county, ignoring local opposition to rezoning, and allowing excessive development. Many residents of unincorporated and less-developed south Fulton County strongly opposed incorporation, fearing the loss of tax revenues which fund county services. County residents outside Sandy Springs were not allowed to vote on the matter. Efforts such as requesting the U.S. Justice Department to reject the plan were unsuccessful.
A mayor and six city council members were elected in early November 2005, with Eva Galambos, who had initiated and led the charge for incorporation, elected mayor by a wide margin. Formal incorporation occurred on December 1, making Sandy Springs the third-largest city ever to incorporate in the U.S.[1] The city's police force and fire department began service in 2006. In 2010, the city became the first jurisdiction in Georgia to successfully "bail out" from the preclearance requirements of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act.[9]
The boundaries of Sandy Springs are Atlanta to the south, Cobb County (at the Chattahoochee River) to the west and north, Roswell (also at the river) to the north, and Dunwoody and Brookhaven, at the DeKalb County line, to the east. A small panhandle in the northeast extends between the Chattahoochee River to the north and Dunwoody to the south, ending in a very small border with Peachtree Corners in Gwinnett County.
Sandy Springs has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen climate classification Cfa). During January and February 2014, Sandy Springs and Atlanta experienced an ice storm which gained national attention due to the huge traffic jams all over interstates such as 285, 75, and on GA 400. People were forced to stay in their cars overnight in freezing temperatures.

This section is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (July 2011) |
Sandy Springs is home to twelve parks and green space areas, three of which provide recreational facilities.[30]
City services are performed in a public-private partnership. Sandy Springs, at first glance, appears to be run just like other similarly sized cities, with a council-manager form of government. However, it is the first city in the nation to outsource services to such a great extent to a private sector company.[32]
The city's police department took over services from the county on July 1, 2006 with 86 Police Officers from all over the State of Georgia, and is now staffed by 137 officers. The city's fire department began operations in December 2006. The department consists of 97 full-time firefighters. The former Police Chief Gene Wilson Jr. was replaced by current Police Chief Terry Sult in 2009 while the fire department is headed by Chief Jack McElfish. It is staffed by 91 full-time firefighters and 52 part-time firefighters. The police department answered 98,250 calls in FY 2010 while the fire department handled 17,000 responses to 8,205 calls for service.
The city of Sandy Springs has purchased the old Target Corporation building (originally Richway) located on the corner of Sandy Springs Circle and Johnson Ferry Road.[33] The building has sat vacant since the December 2008 purchase. This location will one day be the new home to the Sandy Springs City Hall.
Public schools are operated by the Fulton County School System. Elementary schools serving sections of Sandy Springs include Dunwoody Springs Charter Elementary School, Heards Ferry Elementary School, High Point Elementary School, Ison Springs Elementary School, Lake Forest Elementary School, Spalding Drive Charter Elementary School, and Woodland Charter Elementary School.[34] Two middle schools, Sandy Springs Middle School and Ridgeview Charter Middle School, and two high schools, North Springs Charter School of Arts and Sciences and Riverwood High School, are in and serve Sandy Springs.
Private schools located in Sandy Springs include:
Cumberland Academy
Atlanta-Fulton Public Library System operates the Sandy Springs Branch.[35]
The largest employers within Sandy Springs are hospitals, headquarters and regional offices from a variety of industries including computer related services, package delivery, telecommunications, media, financial transaction processing and more.
Sandy Springs is home to three hospitals: Northside Hospital, St. Joseph's Hospital and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, comprising 40 percent of the hospital beds in the region.
According to the City's 2012 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report,[36] the top employers in the city are:
# | Employer | # of Employees |
2 | Cisco Systems | 1,708 |
3 | United Parcel Service | 1,636 |
4 | AT&T Mobility | 650 |
5 | RBS Lynk, Inc. | 600 |
6 | Cox Enterprises | 584 |
7 | ACS State Healthcare, LLC | 510 |
8 | National Account Svc, Co. | 480 |
10 | Global Payments | 410 |
Some notable newspapers that cover areas of interest to Sandy Springs include the Sandy Springs Reporter, Sandy Springs Neighbor[37] and The Atlanta Journal Constitution.[38] Two television series are recorded within the city: Auction Kings at Gallery 63 on Roswell Road, and Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta at Bridals by Lori on Hammond Drive.
Sandy Springs is served by two major limited-access highways, Georgia 400 − which runs north-south − and I-285 − which runs east-west. Major surface streets include Roswell Road (U.S. 19 south of I-285 and Georgia 9 entirely), Hammond Drive, Spalding Drive, Johnson Ferry Road, Abernathy Road, Glenridge Drive, and Dunwoody Club Drive.
The GDOT is widening Abernathy Road between Johnson Ferry and Roswell Roads from two lanes to four plus a road median, and the city is developing a linear park where homes along Abernathy were demolished, with sidewalks and walking trails to add greenspace and improve connectivity in the city. The western intersection is being reconfigured so that traffic to and from Johnson Ferry Road − which now carries heavy loads of Cobb County commuters across the Chattahoochee River at rush hour − now flows directly with Abernathy to and from the northwest. Additionally, the Roswell Road bridge over I-285 is finally getting a badly needed widening to add a turn lane in each direction. Currently, it is a major traffic bottleneck, as the turn lanes to both direction of I-285 are very short, sharing the center lane of the bridge, and forcing traffic to be allowed to turn twice per cycle (a "split phase") of the traffic lights. Despite the unusual timing of the lights, traffic still backs up into the through lanes, causing major traffic jams at rush hour. The project's scheduled completion is November 2012, about a year after the expected start date. There had previously been talk of a tunnel under the freeway to bypass the highway interchange altogether, however this proved to be much too expensive. Another state project is the addition of a half-diamond interchange to Georgia 400 on the north side of Hammond Drive, allowing southbound traffic to exit and northbound traffic to enter the highway. (Ramps on the south side were not possible due to the proximity of the 400/285 interchange.)
The city's public works department has made significant improvements in the conditions of roads and traffic signals since incorporation in December 2005. The department has cleaned approximately 1,500 catch basins, striped 30 miles (48 km) of roadway, responded to more than 2,000 calls for repair and service, re-timed hundreds of traffic lights to help improve the flow of traffic and reduce automobile idling, and repaved 60 miles (nearly 100 km) of roads.
The 2008 fiscal year saw the creation of the Sandy Springs Traffic Management Center (TMC). The TMC was constructed and began to operate in less than six months. Construction began in February 2008, five cameras viewed traffic along Roswell Road by the end of June. Special features of the TMC include a webpage that allows the public access to real-time traffic conditions and voice-activated controls. By June 2009, 16 traffic cameras are now available and can be viewed onilne at the city's website.[39]
The major provider of mass transit is MARTA, which operates a heavy rail rapid transit line and several bus lines through Sandy Springs. The city is served by the Medical Center, Sandy Springs and North Springs stations. The Georgia Regional Transportation Authority also operates express buses from the North Springs station (which has its own ramps to and from 400) to other counties.
The city has three consulates general.[40][41] The Consulate-General of Colombia in Atlanta is located in Suite 405 at 5901 B Peachtree Dunwoody Road.[42] The Consulate-General of Nigeria in Atlanta[43] is located at 8060 Roswell Road.[44] And finally, the Counsulate-General of India at 5549 Glenridge Drive.

Weakening economy Rising unemployment rates Slow GDP growth Spill over onto an individual's mental health Is there a direct relationship between the economy and suicide rates? Theory One may speculate there is a relationship between an economy in recession and the depletion of a person's mental health Spurred by rising unemployment rates, falling profits of businesses, and fear of bankruptcy for businesses and individuals Does worry (about economic issues) lead to stress, then lead to depression, and then maybe even onto suicide? One might wonder whether or not the suicide rate is in fact related to the business cycle Method Use of economic research related to the economies affect on suicide rates Excel spreadsheets constructed with data from reliable sources to create a useable data set in SAS Importation of raw data into SAS Analysis of data in SAS to determine trends between suicides and recessions Research Findings Ethnic and Sex Differences in Suicide Rates Relative to Major Depression in the United States Antidepressants and Suicide Risk in the United States, 1985-1999 Does unemployment increase suicide rates? The OECD Panel Evidence Economic Theory of Suicide Happiness and Economic Performance The Economy and Suicide: a Time-Series Study of the U.S.A. Research Findings Economic data was compared to three socio- demographic factors that can cause depression Low income Unemployment Disrupted marriages Males from all ethnic groups have higher suicide rates than females Women were twice as likely to be suffering from depression due to the three socio-demographic factors Victims undergo major depression before time of death Results -the regression line is shown graphing the suicide rate dependent upon changes in GDP. -p-value = .1350, much larger than accepted alpha of .05 -R2 value= .0907 The R2-value represents how well the regression line is able to approximate the actual data. -Very weak relationship Results -regression line is shown graphing suicide rate dependent upon the unemployment rate -p-value = .0007, smaller than accepted alpha of .05 -R2 value also shows the trend is much more significant at .3885 -Useful model Results -suicide rates as a whole steadily decline for a 15 year period beginning in 1986 -Appears to be a period of lag. Between 1983 and 1986, unemployment rates fell, suicide rates actually rose -Between 1990 to 1992 rates in suicide decreased while the unemployment rate increased severely References Grunebaum, Michael, Steven Ellis, Shuhua Li, Maria Oquendo, and J.

At my husband's request, we've been eating a lot of beans this fall. I haven't had a dedicated clay bean pot since my mother's Boston pot broke many years ago, and I'm ready for a new one. There are Egyptian and Italian ones at Provisions, creamtea just asked a Hotline question about her La Chamba pot, which looks great for beans. What should I get?
This is one item that you might look for in an antique shop or flea market. I got a Boston pot at an antique shop for $4 and it is the greatest. If you are looking for something old fashioned, sometimes it's best to look for something old.
I make beans all the time and I use one of my Calphalon pots with good results, however every time I'm in Sonoma I visit a store called Bram which is dedicated to selling clay pots for cooking beans. They are pricey, which explains why I look and don't buy whenever I stop buy, but they are gorgeous. Here's a link to their website http://www.bramcookware...
Wow, Trena, that spot looks like a worthy field trip. I may have to stop buy [sic].
Oh, and for those that can't make the trip--I just noticed that the bean pots in Provisions are sources from Bram.
How about using an Emil Henry pot for beans? I'm curious because they are also clay pots, as I understand it. Is there a difference between EH and say the clay pots Bram offers?
Actually, I do use an Emile Henry pot for beans, and so maybe I'm all set (or could add to that collection). What's been interesting me about some of these traditional bean pots is their shapes. I'm going to do some more research on this, so additional input will be helpful.
I've always wanted to buy a bram to make this dish by Dorie Greenspan. Could be great for Thanksgiving.
Just so we don't dis Emile Henry: they are good to 500°C/930°F, and you can put them from freezer to wood oven. Maybe Trena's info was for their ovenware rather than the flameware?
Forgot an Emile Henry web reference with the temps. http://www.emilehenryusa...
Ah! I found it. It's their DISHES that can't go above 480°C. Not the cookware.
Aha! Thanks, Chris! Next time I cook beans I'll be using my trusty green EH pot.

Bringing back memories of the tragic death of Philip Hughes in November last, an Australian cricketer Daniel Hughes was left unconscious briefly after being hit by an almost identical bouncer on his neck during a first grade match but fortunately escaped unscathed, local media reported.
There is never a dull moment in Shane Warne's life. On New Year's Eve, the legendary leg-spinner turned up as Superman with other fellow comic book stars.
Australian batsman Phillip Hughes's best friend has revealed that she received a final touching message from the cricketer shortly before his shocking passing.
Cricketing luminaries bid an emotional farewell to Phillip Hughes at a funeral service held in his home town Wednesday, as Australia stopped to remember the popular batsman whose death from a freak injury sent shockwaves through the sport.
Australia cricket captain Michael Clarke broke down in tears as he paid tribute to friend and team-mate Phillip Hughes at the batsman's funeral.
Also watch: How prepared are our Naval forces?
As family, friends, former teammates and cricket greats gathered in thousands at Macksville on Wednesday for late batsman Phillip Hughes' funeral, his close friend Corey Ireland delivered a heart-melting tribute explaining that his cattle-loving late friend wanted to sell 200 bulls a year.
Selected quotes from eulogies and tributes to Phillip Hughes on Wednesday as Australia bid farewell to the cricketer at his funeral in his hometown of Macksville, New South Wales.
Phillips Hughes, who would have turned 26 on Sunday, died two days after he was knocked unconscious by a bouncer while batting in a domestic match at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Stand-in skipper of the Indian team Virat Kohli will attend the funeral of Australian cricketer Phillip Hughes on Wednesday.
South African pace legend Allan Donald has called on cricket bosses not to consider banning bouncers as they revisit safety in the sport in the wake of the tragic death of Australian cricketer Philip Hughes.
Helmets have given a false sense of security to batsmen, who no longer have the necessary technique to deal with fast bowling, according to former England opener Geoff Boycott.
Former Australian captain Steve Waugh has said that no amount of `prancing, preening or dialogue` can rescue a `fearful` cricketer once he has shown his vulnerability in the confined space of a cricket ground.
Australian cricketer Matthew Wade has blamed the introduction of too many green pitches, instead of Cricket Australia`s emphasis on promoting the Twenty20 Big Bash League, as responsible for the batting woes of the team in the Ashes.
The Australian cricket teams, here to play the third Test against India in Mohali March 14-18, are having a ball.
Phil Hughes has said it would be a melancholy duty replacing his idol Ricky Ponting in the Australian Test team if he is given a chance by the national selectors against Sri Lanka.
Australian all rounder Shane Watson, who missed the Brisbane and Adelaide Test matches against South Africa due to a calf strain, has said he is ready to bowl as many overs as captain Michael Clarke wants him to bowl in the series-decider Perth Test.
Shane Watson was on Friday included for the second Test against Australia despite doubts concerning his fitness.
Australia's team performance boss Pat Howard has said all rounder Shane Watson's failure to bowl with full fitness would significantly reduce his chances of making into the squad for the second Test in Adelaide against South Africa.
Australia vice-captain Shane Watson is in line to get selected for the second Test match against South Africa in Adelaide subject to fitness when the team is announced on Friday morning.
Australia off spinner Nathan Lyon has said he is happy with his preparation for the first Test match against South Africa at The Gabba, in Brisbane, starting on November 9, despite displaying modest form in domestic competitions of late.

Julian Barnett's Ridley Park Capital launches flagship hedge fund with $200 million
June 13th, 2010 | ||
Julian Barnett, former portfolio manager at fund manager Polar Capital, launched the flagship hedge fund of his startup venture, Ridley Park Capital, last month. According to the Financial Times, Mr. Barnett raised almost $200 million for the new fund manager, although some sources claim Mr. Barnett had originally aimed for figures as high as $500 million. Ridley Park's supposed difficulty fundraising belies Mr. Barnett's successful record at Polar Capital, which he joined in 2002. He ran the Polar Paragon hedge fund, which was Polar Capital's largest fund at the time with $875 million assets under management, from 2004 until his departure last year. In Mr. Barnett's five years managing Paragon, the fund averaged annual returns of 28%. | ||

My Last Bite, the Register Star's dining column, publishes Thursdays at rrstar.com. This week's featured restaurant is Fifth Alarm Firehouse Pub in Byron.
Fifth Alarm Firehouse Pub
Address: 120 N. Union St., Byron
Hours: Opens daily at 11 a.m. Kitchen closes at 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and at 9 p.m. Sunday. Local delivery is available from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
BYRON — It took years for me to break into the My Last Bite rotation, and I wanted to try a place outside of Rockford for my first one.
So after asking for suggestions, I headed to Fifth Alarm Firehouse Pub in Byron, which once was Byron's first firehouse. For a time, it was used as city hall before being reborn in 2002 as a restaurant and bar.
Once there, I wasn't sure what to order. Kitty Moring, one of Fifth Alarm's three owners, convinced me to try the salmon. That, I thought, could be problematic. Although I love fish, I've never liked salmon.
Until now.
The dish was called Cedar Plank Salmon ($14), with the salmon on top of sauteed vegetables. Instead of being dry, it was grilled to perfection and the sauce gave the salmon and the vegetables a sweet taste.
"That recipe has agave nectar in it," Moring said. Agave nectar is a sweetener produced from several species of agave.
Moring said the "mission" at Fifth Alarm is to offer as many organic, antibiotic free, natural dishes as possible. The restaurant even has its own vegetable garden. Of course, Fifth Alarm has your standard bar food and nachos. Our appetizer was green beans — fried ($8).
Moring was quick to say the salmon recipe wasn't hers. Instead, it came from Fifth Alarm's executive chef, Eric Zybinski, a Rockford Guilford graduate who went to culinary school in New York City.
"We try to hire executive chefs who share our vision, and Eric certainly does," Moring said. "Prior to Eric, we'd overcook the salmon. It would be very dry. He cooks it right to the edge. He's very talented."
Moring admitted he's likely also not a permanent member of the team.
"We're a stepping stone. This is a small town. We've had a lot of talented chefs come in and move on," Moring said. "We're perfectly OK with that."
For dessert, my dining partner, who ate the filling vegetarian pasta, and I tried the carrot cake ($6). I love carrot cake, but this piece was average, a little dry. So we also decided to sample the Panookie ($6), and that was a different story. It's not exotic. It's a large chocolate chip cookie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and chocolate syrup.
Page 2 of 2 - It was almost as good as the salmon.
"Now, that is my recipe," Moring said with a laugh.

Stock Upgrades, Downgrades From TheStreet.com Ratings
Each business day, TheStreet.com Ratings updates its ratings on the stocks it covers. The proprietary ratings model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period, including both price appreciation and dividends. Buy, hold or sell ratings designate how the Ratings group expects these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
While the ratings model is quantitative, it uses both subjective and objective elements. For instance, subjective elements include expected equities market returns, future interest rates, implied industry outlook and company earnings forecasts. Objective elements include volatility of past operating revenue, financial strength and company cash flows.
However, the rating does not incorporate all of the factors that can alter a stock's performance. For example, it doesn't always factor in recent corporate or industry events that could affect the stock price, nor does it include recent technology developments and competitive dynamics that may affect the company.
For those reasons, we believe a rating alone cannot tell the whole story, and that it should be part of an investor's overall research.
The following ratings changes are from Feb. 7, 2008. Health Net (HNT - Get Report), a health care services company, has been upgraded to buy on strong fourth-quarter earnings and a healthy balance sheet. On Feb. 5, Health Net reported income of $123.4 million, or $1.10 a share, vs. $84.8 million, or 72 cents a share, in 2006. Total revenue increased 11.7% to $3.58 billion year over year. The company is relatively under-leveraged, with a total debt balance of $545.43 million and a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.29, which is below the industry average. Furthermore, HNT has been generating a healthy cash flow from operations. Recently, Health Net was awarded a contract by the Department of Veterans Affairs Healthcare Network Upstate New York and also launched an online Behavioral Health Resource Center, which will be managed by one of its subsidiaries. Health Net also plans to expand its Medicare Advantage (MA) service areas in 2008. Increasing health care costs and increasing competitive pressure remain the major causes of concern. Health Net had been rated hold since Nov. 8. CNet Networks (CNET - Get Report), an interactive media company, has been upgraded to hold. The company has compelling growth in net income and a solid financial position. However, the stock has not performed well in the past year. Net income growth for CNet from the same quarter one year ago has significantly exceeded the industry average. Profit skyrocketed 3717.2% year over year, from $5.31 million to $202.62 million. The company has also reported significant earnings per share improvement over the past two years. However, we expect the company to underperform this pattern in the coming year. The stock has lagged the S&P 500, declining 13.88% over the past year. This price decrease is not necessarily a negative; it could make the stock attractive down the road. Right now, however, we believe that it is too soon to buy. CNet had been rated sell since Apr. 30. Unidas (CU - Get Report), a provider of beer and soda to Chile and Argentina, has been downgraded to hold. In spite of good revenue growth, a solid financial position and impressive stock price performance, the company's poor profit margins weigh it down.The company's year-over-year revenue growth of 25.2% exceeds the industry average. Additionally, EPS has improved in the past year. Unidas' current debt-to-equity ratio, 0.34, is below the industry average, implying successful management of debt levels.
