The intent is to allow them sufficient time to perform the appropriate emergency actions to decrease train speed or stop a train to avoid or mitigate the effects of a collision or security breach. Several types of non- track circuit-based IODS system prototypes have been field-tested in recent years. These systems incorporate technologies, such as magnetic, infrared, ultrasonic, and acoustic sensors, as well as radar and video detection. New applications of these existing technologies, as well as delivery platforms, have emerged in the past few years. Full text available Online [http://www.fra.dot.gov/downloads/Research/rr0721.pdf].

This study assesses the changing status of intercity bus service throughout the United States between 1960 and 2007. Drawing on data from more than 5,000 arrivals and departures in a representative sample of American cities, it shows that U.S. cities lost nearly one-third of their scheduled intercity service between 1960 and 1980 and more than half of the remaining services between 1980 and early 2006. Although commuter-bus and charter- bus business expanded greatly during this period, most regularly scheduled intercity service disappeared. Many consumers considered the remaining service to be a travel option of last resort.

How hard is it to get into Baruch for business? (self.Baruch)
submitted 2 years ago by TBizzcuit
I am community college student in California who wants to transfer to Baruch for business and finance. My GPA is currently ~3.6. I still have some time here at CC. My impression was that baruch was pretty easy to get into. Am I right? Do I stand a decent chance or do I really need to improve my GPA and participate in clubs and interships?
[–]kidkush 3 points4 points5 points 2 years ago (0 children)
The biggest obstacle is transferring your credits over. You may have spent two years to get your associates but you might come here and have to do the full 4 years.
[–]Sir--Sean-Connery 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
A lot of Baruch students are transfer students from the junior/ community colleges. I've heard it is roughly 70% of all students are transfers so I think you should be fine with a 3.6.
[–]micphi 1 point2 points3 points 2 years ago (0 children)
I had a 3.67 with an associate's when I transferred to Baruch for Accounting. It looks like their website is currently down, but when it comes up you'll be able to find something called the Common Data Set (easiest to find through google). This will tell you their acceptance % as well as the mean GPA of those accepted students.
As kidkush said though, you will likely have some issues transferring credits. Is there a reason you don't want to go to a UC school instead of Baruch? It may be easier to graduate sooner if you do.
Edit: As far as clubs and internships go - when I applied through CUNY, they didn't even have a section for consideration of those types of things.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Baruch is easiest to get into from a CC in the CUNY system, I assume. I left Kingsborough with a ~3.9 and entered Baruch without a problem. A good chunk of my credits transferred, but I'm not a Zicklin student.
Like micphi said, I don't recall any moment in the application process that asked about clubs or associations. This was back in 2009, though, so I can't speak for anything that's changed.

Do you need three semesters of English to transfer? If you do, fuck.
Thanks for that link. Really explains a lot.
[–]spacexfalcon 0 points1 point2 points 2 years ago (0 children)
Transfer from a Florida community college here. I didn't get in the first time I applied, so I went to a CUNY CC for a semester and re applied. Just like someone else said, prepare to do at least 3 years at Baruch even if you completed an associates. I got an associates but I'm doing a full 4 years at Baruch. A lot of the credits don't transfer, and CUNY/Baruch has strict requirements on miscellaneous electives. For example; even though I took a foreign language all 4 years of high school, they didn't meet the CUNY criteria and I had to do a full year (2 semesters) of a foreign language at Baruch. Similar thing happened with math. Despite having done college level calculus in Florida, CUNY made me do math starting with college algebra! Also happened with my science electives. I had taken astronomy, biology and chemistry in Florida, and Baruch made me take another science class (Physics), because my previous science classes didn't have a lab hour component (ie, 4 credit science class instead of 3).

MARIETTA - Hundreds of job seekers filled the junior fair building at the Washington County Fairgrounds Wednesday where more than 70 employers and training institutions were on hand for the Mid-Ohio Valley Job Fair.
"Our purpose is to link job seekers with employers and vice-versa," said Wendy Ketelson, senior employment and training specialist with Washington Morgan Community Action.
"These employers are looking for qualified employees and will be hiring within the next six months to a year," she said. "There are plenty of jobs, but those seeking good jobs at this time need certain skill sets to fill those positions, so that's where the schools and training providers come in."

Kayla Clatterbuck of Marietta, left, and Aleisha Strong of Parkersburg fill out applications during Wednesday's Mid-Ohio Valley Job Fair at the Washington County Fairgrounds.
The first hour of the four-hour event was limited to veterans who were looking for jobs, Ketelson said.
In Ohio the unemployment rate for veterans of Afghanistan and Iraq is 13.9 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Representatives from the Ohio Department of Veterans Services who attended Wednesday's job fair said they could not discuss the local job situation for area veterans without prior approval from their administrators.
But earlier on Wednesday, Roy Ash, Washington County Veterans Services officer, said local vets could use good jobs.
"We see veterans coming here for financial assistance when they can't find jobs," he said. "We have some funding to help them get back on their feet by providing rental, food and utilities assistance."
But Ash noted the local area is limited when it comes to jobs paying more than $10 an hour.
"They can find plenty of fast-food jobs, but those don't pay enough for vets who have families to support," he said. "So many go back to school and try to make ends meet while they get some training for a career."
Ash said many employers prefer to hire veterans if they have the right qualifications for a job.
Ketelson agreed.
"Most want to hire vets because they know veterans have a good work ethic and are dependable workers," she said. "Employers often give veterans preference when hiring."
About 50 veterans showed up during the first hour of the job fair.
"The turnout was more than I expected," Ketelson said.
The remaining three hours of the job fair were open to the public.
"Some people are underemployed or just working part time and need a better job, while others may have been unemployed for some time," Ketelson said. "If they want work, there are jobs available, although those may not be the ideal jobs people are looking for. And if you're already working it's often easier to find a new job."
Recently added to the Mid-Ohio Valley's unemployment lines are workers from the Ormet plant in Monroe County that is closing, according to an announcement by plant officials earlier this month.
"I've been looking for a job since Aug. 18, but it's hard to find a position with good pay and benefits," said Tim Chadwell of Fleming, one of the 900-plus out of work due to the Ormet closing.
He had worked at Ormet for more than six years.
Chadwell and 14-year Ormet employee Steve Kiggans were discussing job opportunities with Randy Mills, human resources field representative from Kraton Polymers in Belpre.
"We've been hiring pretty steadily for the last few years," Mills said. "In fact, we just hired 20 new chemical operators, adding to about 230 operators we already have. And our new research and development facility will be going online in January."
He said the R&D jobs will likely be filled from within the company, but that will open more positions that can be hired from outside the facility.
Mills noted that having some education helps for those seeking jobs with companies like Kraton.
"Probably 75 percent of the last guys we hired had post high school education, most from two-year institutions, but some had attended a four-year college," he said.
Still, Mills said the skills needed for chemical operator jobs with Kraton are being taught at local institutions like the Washington County Career Center and Washington State Community College.
"There are excellent training resources locally, and we work closely with them," he said.
A table was set up at one end of the building where job seekers could fill out applications on the spot.
"It's nice to have all these employers in one place," said Aleisha Strong, 23, of Parkersburg as she worked on an application.
"I've been looking for a job for about six months now, but this is my first job fair," she said. "I'm hoping to find something in the medical field."

Description This invention relates to a printing material for the ink jet printing process and a coating compound for preparing an ink receiving layer for the material. In ink jet printing systems printing operations are carried out by forming droplets of ink by means of various ink jet methods, such as electrostatic attraction methods, bubble formation processes, etc., and these droplets of ink are applied to a printing material. Such printing processes make it possible to print images with a very high resolution directly from electronic data. The image receiving materials used for this purpose must meet certain high requirements so that the image produced by the ink jet process will: - have a high resolution; - have a high color density; - have sufficient color gradations; - be smudgeproof; and - be waterfast. In order to satisfy these requirements or goals, the following basic conditions must be met: - the ink must be rapidly absorbed by the printing material; - the droplets of ink sprayed on the printing material must spread out in the most accurate possible manner in the shape of a circle and with precisely defined outlines; - the ink diffusion in the printing material must not be too great so that the diameter of the ink spots does not increase any more than is absolutely necessary; - when one ink spot overlaps with another ink spot which was previously applied, it should not have any negative effect or smear; - the printing material must have a surface that permits a high visual reflection density and a high brilliance of the dyes; and - the printing material should have a high dimensional stability and should not stretch after the printing process. Some of these requirements are contradictory to each other. For example, if the material becomes smudgeproof too rapidly, there will be little or no spreading of the droplet of ink and, thus, the clarity of the resulting image is impaired. On the basis of the requirements of the printing material, there has been a search for ways to obtain an image with the highest possible ink density, while still being as smudgeproof as possible. Papers in which the ink fluids can be absorbed in the spaces formed between the pulp fibers in the paper or between the fibers and filler have been used as the printing material for ink jet printing. Another group of printing materials include papers having a special ink receiving layer. The ink receiving layers consist essentially of a pigment/binder mixture. In addition to increasing the whiteness of the printing material, the pigments serve the function of retention of the dyestuffs from the printing ink on the surface of the sheet. A high pigment concentration leads to a high porosity of the layer (German Patent No. 30 24 205). This makes the paper quite smudgeproof. However, at the same time the dyes are also drawn out of the ink into the interior of the printing material, and this has a negative effect on the color density of the image. Japanese Patent JP 61-041585 discloses a method of producing printing material with a receiving layer of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The mixing ratio of the two components PVA to PVP is 3:1 to 1:5. However, a disadvantage of this material is its inadequate waterfastness and wet rub off properties. Japanese Patent JP 61-261089 discloses a transparent material for overhead projectors which contains a cationic conductive resin in addition to a mixture of polyvinyl alcohol and polyvinylpyrrolidone. This makes the paper smudgeproof and waterfast, but the wet rub off properties are not adequate. Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a printing material for the ink jet printing process which will fulfill the requirements mentioned above, but specifically will assure a good waterfastness and wet rub off properties, in addition to a high color density and image definition or clarity. This object is achieved by means of a printing material comprising a support and an ink receiving layer applied to the support and containing a polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, a vinyl acetate homopolymer and/or a vinyl acetate copolymer, and a quaternary ammonium compound. The weight ratio of the vinyl acetate homopolymer and/or vinyl acetate copolymer to the polyvinyl alcohol/polyvinylpyrrolidone mixture in the binder mixture is 1:3 to 3:1. In a special embodiment of the invention, the vinyl acetate copolymer is a vinyl acetate/alkyl acrylate copolymer. The amount of binder in the layer is 10 to 80 wt %, especially 30 to 60 wt % of the ink receiving layer. The ink receiving layer contains a quaternary ammonium compound with a certain cationicity which is determined with PCD titration with a 1�10-3 n solution of sodium polyethenesulfonate (PES solution). The cationicity obtained by this method for the ammonium compounds according to the invention is 15 to 30 ml PES solution, especially 20 to 25 ml PES solution. The quaternary ammonium compounds include, for example, polyamine salts and polyamidamine compounds. Polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride has proven to be especially advantageous. The amount of quaternary ammonium compound in the layer does not exceed 10 wt % of the ink receiving layer. The ink receiving layer according to the invention may also contain other additives such as white pigments, colored pigments, dyes, dispersants, wetting agents, curing agents and optical brighteners. Examples of pigments that can be used in the ink receiving layer include silicic acid, clay, zeolites and other inorganic pigments. In a preferred embodiment of this invention, an amorphous silicic acid having a pore volume of about 1.0 to 2.5 ml/g and a particle size of ≦5 μm is used in the ink receiving layer. The amount of pigment in the ink receiving layer is 15 to 80 wt %, especially 30 to 65 wt % of the ink receiving layer. The ink receiving layer is applied to the support from an aqueous dispersion with the help of any of the conventional methods of application and metered addition. The coating weight of ink receiving layer applied is 0.5 to 15 g/m2, and preferably 2 to 8 g/m2. A plastic film or a coated or uncoated base paper may be used as the support. The base paper may be acidic or neutral sized paper. The back of the base paper may also have a hydrophilic layer containing a hydrophilic colloidal binder such as starch, modified starch, polyvinyl alcohol and/or gelatin. The invention will be illustrated in greater detail in the following examples. The front side of neutral sized raw paper having a basis weight of 80 g/m2 and containing 20 wt % CaCO3 in the pulp, and sized with a neutral alkylketene dimer size, was coated with an aqueous based coating compound and then dried. The resulting ink receiving layers had the following composition: __________________________________________________________________________ Composition, wt %Components 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 1g__________________________________________________________________________Polyvinyl alcoholDegree of saponification: 98 mol % 5.5 5.5 -- -- -- -- --Degree of saponification: 88 mol % -- -- 5.5 5.5 10.0 5.5 5.5Polyvinylpyrrolidone 5.5 5.5 5.5 5.5 10.0 5.5 5.5Molecular weight: 630000 daltonsVinyl acetate/butyl acrylate 22.3 22.3 22.3 22.3 13.3 32.7 22.3copolymerAmorphous silicic acidA 60.4 60.4 60.4 -- 60.4 50.0 56.1B -- -- -- 60.4 -- -- --Zinc oxide 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6 0.6Polyammonium salt with acationicity of21.58 ml PES solution* 5.7 5.7 5.7 -- 5.7 5.7 10.024.37 ml PES solution* -- -- -- 5.7 -- -- --Amount applied, g/m2 4 7 4 4 4 4 4__________________________________________________________________________ Where: A is Particle size: 3.2 μm, pore volume 1.2 ml/g B is Particle size: 3.0 μm, pore volume 1.8 ml/g * is PES solution: 1 � 10-3 n sodium polyethenesulfonate Other experimental conditions: - Machine speed: 100 m/min - Drying temperature: 130� C. - Drying time: 5 minutes The resulting sheet material was printed in a thermal jet process and then analyzed. The test results are summarized in Table 1. This example was carried out according to Example 1c. Instead of the polydimethyldiallyammonium chloride, an amide derivative with a cationicity of 13.11 ml PES solution was used. The base paper from Example 1 was provided with a receiving layer in which no polyvinyl acetate was used. The ink receiving layers according to Comparative Examples V1 and V2 were applied from an aqueous medium and had the following compositions: ______________________________________ Composition, wt %Components V1 V2______________________________________Polyvinyl alcohol, degree of 5.5 16.0saponification: 88 mol %Polyvinylpyrrolidone, mol. wt. 5.5 16.0630000 daltonsVinyl acetate/butyl acrylate copolymer 22.3 --Amorphous silicic acid A 60.4 61.7Polyamidamine salt with a cationicity 5.7 --of 13.11 ml PES solutionPolydiallyldimethylammonium chloride -- 5.7(see Ex. 1)Zinc oxide 0.6 0.6Amount applied, g/m2 4 4______________________________________ The printing material obtained according to the comparative examples was printed in a thermal jet process and then analyzed. The results are summarized in Table 2. In addition to the comparative examples, two commercial printing materials were also used and analyzed. The results are also summarized in Table 2. The printing material was printed with a Hewlett Packard HP Deskjet 550 C that operates according to the bubble jet principle (thermal jet). The color density, definition, waterfastness and wet rub off properties were tested on the resulting print images. The density measurements were performed with an Original Reflection Densitometer SOS-45. The measurements were performed for the primary colors cyan, magenta, yellow and black. For determining the waterfastness of the paper, the printing material was immersed in water. The density (%) remaining after 60 seconds in the water bath is used as a measure of the water stability. The image clarity (definition) is determined with a fiber counter. Field distances between a red field and a green field or between two black fields are determined (maximum value 1 mm). The colored fields composed of the primary colors have 200% ink coverage. Therefore, they serve as test fields for fixing large quantities of ink. To determine the wet rub off properties, a 1 kg weight covered with a wet towel is passed five times over a test strip printed with 100% of black or cyan ink, and the density loss is evaluated (grades of 1 to 5, wherein grade 1 is very good and grade 5 is poor).

In February, I turned 69. At 68 1/2 my health problems multiplied and that is what I and I'm guessing most here feel bad about aging. Our own bodies with problems and the loss of our beloved friends and others who are also either struggling with health issues or dead… Read full post »

Not Vivian Henoch's India

Organizers of Mill Race Marathon are hoping to have 400 to 500 volunteers to assist with events Sept. 26 to 28.
All types of jobs are available, including distributing water and medals on race day, working at the health expo, giving out race packets to
runners, assisting with children's activities and assisting with entertainment in or around the race event.
Volunteers can spend a few hours or all day, work the day before the race or volunteer at the marathon itself.
"We need lots of help from volunteers, and there are lots of possibilities," said Andy Pajakowski, a Cummins employee who is on the planning committee.
Some civic and business groups have signed up to work together, and runners can even volunteer for events on the Thursday or Friday before the race on Saturday.
Providing a welcoming environment and good experience for participants will help make it a successful event and encourage them to want to want to return the following year, Pajakowski said.
The Columbus event will never be the size of the Chicago Marathon, which last year drew 45,000 participants. But with the help of the community, it can be a premier event, said Laura Chasse, another Cummins employee helping lead the planning committee.
Don't settle for a preview.

Jun 28, 2014I bow down to writers behind Jazzpunk. I just haven't decided yet whether I should send them flowers to the rehab or to the mental hospital. [05/2014, p.69]
Apr 26, 2014To make someone laugh while playing is no easy task, and Jazzpunk succeeds in doing just that most of the time.
Apr 23, 2014The replay value is low, but it's a nice distraction while it lasts.
Apr 9, 2014A wonderful rarity. [May 2014, p.76]
Apr 7, 2014Not much of an adventure game but boy, what fun! [Issue #239]
Mar 28, 2014It may not impress with clever mechanics, but Jazzpunk is a genuinely funny comedy romp that will put a smile on your face. [Apr 2014, p.55]
Mar 25, 2014An adventure game from a first-person perspective where a player explores a parody on the 60' that is full of robots, secret agents, and absurdist humour? Great! However, the final outcome is staggering because of its game parody approach.
Mar 24, 2014Games don't come much goofier than this – Jazzpunk serves up nonstop, breathless absurdity, if not much else.
Mar 23, 2014Jazzpunk is an equivalent of an avant-garde show – it doesn't have a story or even a point to it. It's nothing more than a collection of rejected ideas.
Mar 14, 2014Being an unusual comedy-game, Jazzpunk is a funny and different experience.
Mar 3, 2014I was initially a little put off. The optics of Jazz Punk are primitive, the humor is anything but subtle. First, the gags seemed to me abundant infantile. But the longer I played, I had more pleasure in the game worlds in discovering all the jokes and some ideas from the developers that are just awesome.
Feb 28, 2014I'd rather have a short game that gets fart jokes right than a long one full of hot air.
Feb 23, 2014Jazzpunk is like an interactive trip through a Leslie Nielsen flick, showering the player with witty irreverence at every turn. Any situation will be taken to its most literal or bizarre conclusion, depending on which will serve for the better punchline.
Feb 21, 2014Jazzpunk is a videogame curiosity, that will make you laugh most of the time if you overcome the "what the #!@? am I playing" effect.
Feb 20, 2014Go in dark and enjoy the ride while it lasts.
Feb 19, 2014It is probably too short, but if you take your time and explore, you will find a great adventure, full of laughter and surprises.
Feb 19, 2014Jazzpunk is a rare comedian in games. As an adventure it doesn't have much to offer, but the game succeeds in its primary goal: surprising its audience and getting them to laugh.
Feb 18, 2014A fumbled finale puts a notable stain on the experience. They say one of the key rules in comedy is to leave the audience wanting more, but as Jazzpunk's credits rolled I was left feeling a little indifferent. But the game is something to be admired. Few titles dedicate themselves to comedy as wholly as Jazzpunk does.
Feb 18, 2014Jazzpunk projects exactly what its eccentric name implies; a hilarious adventure with an unwieldy rhythm and paradoxically predictable narrative-uncertainty, all of which draws fuel from a seemingly endless source of energy.
Feb 15, 2014Around every corner, there's a crab that's fluent in Spanish, or a Pizza Box that laughs at you maniacally. Sure, there are a few duds and it doesn't always hit the mark, but developer Necrophone Games bang out the gags at a rate befitting of a Python.
Feb 14, 2014Jazzpunk is certainly enjoyable, but it isn't without its flaws.
Feb 13, 2014The beginning is so sweet, with gags to be discovered all over around us. And they almost always deliver. But then, after an hour or so, minigames take over and fun fades away. Still: how many other games make us laugh out loud like this?
Feb 13, 2014If you're looking to laugh a lot, and maybe even think about stuff just a little bit, give it a play.
Feb 12, 2014Quirky humor and an abundance of outrageous antics keep things buoyant through much of the short but flawed journey. Jazzpunk is an enthusiastic attempt to answer the question of just how much weirdness you can possibly cram into a few hours of gaming. In that endeavor, at least, it's a great achievement.
Feb 12, 2014Anarchic, baffling, sometimes downright silly, and often inspired, Jazzpunk works tirelessly to make you laugh and gasp. The frequency with which you'll do both is a testament to a bold new talent, and Necrophone Games deserves all the plaudits that will be thrown its way in the coming weeks.
Feb 11, 2014As an experience, I'd definitely recommend Jazzpunk. It still fits in the, "Wandering Around Game" style, however its comedic sensibilities are great and its treatment of other video game styles are a love letter to gaming in the most fun, madcap way that Necrophone Games could have thought of.
Feb 11, 2014Jazzpunk is uniquely ridiculous and undeniably hilarious. It's not afraid of making you work to find all the funny, which turns even the tiniest throwaway joke into something special.
Feb 10, 2014Not only is Jazzpunk in and of itself a clever and positively insane experience, it is one of the funniest games of all time.
Feb 10, 2014This game made me laugh - not gently or under duress of slow realisation, but in staccato outbursts which alarmed and unsettled passers-by.
Feb 10, 2014Whether you are a fan of jazz or punk, Jazzpunk is certainly something you need in your life.
Feb 10, 2014Not quite Scary Movie but certainly not the video game equivalent of Airplane, although the fact that it even tries to be is almost recommendation enough.
Feb 7, 2014Like both jazz and punk, it won't be appreciated by everyone.
Feb 7, 2014It's a rare, but fantastic thing to find a game that feels like the result of a singular artistic vision. To find one that also happens to be a genuinely comic vision is like tripping over a unicorn. Playing Jazzpunk, from developer Necrophone Games, was like tripping over a unicorn who just happened to share my particular appreciations for goofy puns, technological ephemera, and Saul Bass.
Feb 7, 2014Jazzpunk ends up being scatological and surreal, but it's not sublime. Like Meatloaf says, two out of three ain't bad. But when's the last time anyone listened to Meatloaf? Jazzpunk is funny in its own peculiar way, but that's about all it is.
Feb 7, 2014Play it for the novelty and the rapid-fire assault of jokes, but don't be surprised if most of them miss the mark.
Feb 7, 2014Games are so rarely funny by design, but Jazzpunk is much more than a funny videogame. It's a comedy, and one that wouldn't be possible – or anywhere near as powerful – in any other medium.
Feb 6, 2014Necrophone Games has a fantastic premise, a decent execution and a brave narration in Jazzpunk.
Feb 6, 2014Nevertheless, if you like the sound of a strange Naked Gun/Monty Python-inspired robot-filled adventure/exploration game jam-packed with laughs you should get Jazzpunk as soon as possible.
Feb 6, 2014It starts out strong with dozens of hidden gags hidden among the scenery, but unfortunately it loses its momentum once minigames start to dominate its three-hour running time.
Feb 6, 2014Jazzpunk doesn't aspire to be an excellent shooter or platformer. Instead, it aspires to and succeeds in having a great conversation with the player.
Feb 6, 2014What's here is undoubtedly high quality, but some may find themselves just wanting more of the game. It's a blessing and a curse.
Feb 6, 2014Stylish, inventive and easily one of the funniest games in years. Jazzpunk just wants to make you laugh. Don't worry, it will.
Feb 6, 2014By the time I finished Jazzpunk, I was both left wanting more of its crazy world and feeling slightly underwhelmed. Many of the jokes felt a bit too random for their own good, and the story kind of just ends with no real resolution.
