Nyack News
RELEASE: Nyack Named a 2012 "Great College to Work For"
Nyack College Named a 2012 "Great College to Work For"
by The Chronicle of Higher Education
Employees applaud Nyack's outstanding workplace environment
Nyack, NY—Nyack College, the most diverse Christian college in the United States announced it has been selected as one of the 2012 Great Colleges to Work For by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The results of The Chronicle's fifth annual report on the academic workplace are based on a survey of nearly 50,000 employees at colleges and universities nationwide. Nyack was recognized as a leader in the categories of work/life balance: college policies that give employees the flexibility to manage their personal lives; confidence in senior leadership: administrators have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary for institutional success; supervisor/department chair relations: supervisor makes expectations clear and solicits ideas; and respect and appreciation: employees are regularly recognized for their contributions.
"It is an honor for me to work with faculty and staff who are such extraordinarily accomplished men and women. Our success as an institution can be credited to the part that each associate contributes to fulfilling our mission. Most importantly, our students are the beneficiaries of being educated by these exceptional role models," says Dr. Michael Scales, president of Nyack College.
The Great Colleges program is based on a two-part assessment process: an institutional audit that captured demographics and workplace policies from each institution, and a survey administered to faculty, administrators, and professional support staff. "I appreciate and have come to expect the selfless support and collaboration of our faculty as we work together—particularly on assessment and accreditation projects," comments Dr. Bennett Schepens, Nyack's assistant provost. "Their remarkable commitment to academic excellence is paralleled only by their professional and personal integrity."
Nyack College is a 130-year-old institution with more than 3,300 students. This is the second year Nyack has participated in The Chronicle's Great Colleges program.
Karen Davie, director of human resources, shares, "I am delighted that our employees' survey responses gained us recognition for a second year in a row, and this year in an additional category—Supervisor/Department Chair Relationship. Employees at Nyack genuinely care for the well-being of one another and enjoy celebrating individual and institutional successes, which definitely contributes to a great work environment."
For more information about Nyack College, please visit http://www.nyack.edu.

Cameron Diaz Filming The Other Woman | Photos
Cameron Diaz Puts In Back-to-Back Days on Set Amid New Costar News
Cameron Diaz got to work on the set of her film The Other Woman again today after braving the NYC rain yesterday during filming. She left her trailer in a casual gray sweater and leggings, a wardrobe shift from yesterday's long black rain jacket and umbrella. Cameron stars alongside Leslie Mann and model Kate Upton in the comedy, and it was recently announced that another new star will join her on set. Nicki Minaj will make her film debut in the movie, which follows the perils of an affair in which "the other woman," played by Cameron, teams up with her suitor's other mistresses and his wife to get revenge. Nicki will reportedly play Cameron's legal assistant.
While Cameron is stationed in the city for work, she's been able to show support for important offscreen initiatives as well. Last week, Cameron went casual at The Standard Hotel to attend the Greenhouse Project Benefit, which raises money for science labs in urban schools.

The Hosparus Thrift Shoppe in Elizabethtown is selling new and gently used formal dresses for the approaching prom season. The Shoppe recently received a donation of new dresses, sizes 8-24, in a variety of styles and colors and they are $20 each. The Shoppe is accepting donations of new and gently used formalwear.
Moira Taylor, Shoppe manager, encourages donations of last season's dresses. "It's a great way to recycle a dress that can't be worn again and it will help a great cause," she said. Donations of tuxedos are also welcome.
Two members of Cub Scout Pack 151, Cody Parrott and Dylan Grimes, achieved the Arrow of Light, the highest rank possible as a Cub Scout at a Blue and Gold ceremony. Pack, Troop and Crew 151 meet 6:30 p.m. every Monday night at First Baptist Church in Hodgenville and welcomes any new boy interested in joining.
Heartland Flyers All-Star Cheerleader Junior Black squad performed at Jamfest LIVE in Cincinnati Jan. 29, winning their division. Heartland Flyers is based in Elizabethtown and Emily Miller, a fifth grader at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School is a six-year veteran on the squad. Miller is in the second row, second from left.
Friday's 18th District Championship was a rematch between the LaRue County Hawks and the Caverna Colonels in Hodgenville.
If basketball was anything like professional wrestling, this would be called a grudge match. The Hawks were looking to avenge a 64-49 drubbing by the Colonels on Jan. 18. The Colonels were well supported with purple all over the packed gym.
Two Abraham Lincoln Elementary School students experienced up close and personal the Kentucky House of Representatives in session Feb. 17 as they were guests of Michael Meredith, 19th district representative.
Fourth-grader Jake Walters and fifth-grader Harrison Hynes sat in the House Chamber at Meredith's and Representative Stan Lee's desks as they heard bills discussed and actually voted (following thumbs up or down cues from the respective representatives) on some pieces of legislation.
The LaRue County High School Speech team traveled to the first of its four statewide speech tournaments this weekend and brought home an award for most efficient team at the tournament.
A Hodgenville man may spend 10 years in prison after pleading guilty to charges that he raped and sodomized a 13-year-old girl.
Troy E. Tarter, 32, pleaded guilty to second-degree rape, second-degree sodomy and first-degree sexual abuse Feb. 11 in LaRue Circuit Court.
According to court records, Tarter categorized his relationship with the young girl as a "lover" and "older brother." He admitted that he knew her age at the time the charges were made in 2010.
Senior twins Valerie and Lyndsay Whitlock – and the LaRue County Lady Hawks – finally have their 18th District Basketball Tournament title.
After six years and in their final season, the sisters finally got to cut down the nets.
They were so happy, they draped them around their necks and wore them like large championship necklaces the whole night.
Kentuckians love high school basketball and a group focused on honoring "the essence of the game" could make Elizabethtown the focal point of that affection.
Kentucky State Police have discovered that the woman who said she was driving the SUV involved in a deadly crash Wednesday actually was not behind the wheel. Traveling home from a family wedding in Florida, three passengers died after being ejected when their Nissan Pathfinder flipped along Interstate 65 north of Glendale. Victor A. Chacon, the new groom, was one of the three killed in the predawn wreck. The 26-year-old reportedly had agreed to leave his new bride briefly in Florida to help his family drive home to the Chicago area.

Ok..sorry for the intervention here but looks like my reputation is at stake so would like your kind consideration of the following:
1.The buyer of the Dx6i has not reached out to me at all to dicuss any issues/problems with the DX6i transmitter.It was delivered via FedEx on 11/23. Reversing positive feeback without ever contacting the seller I don't think reasonable. 2.I go through extreme measures to disclose every single known issue of anything I sell either here or on Ebay.I don't recall any scratches on the transmitter otherwise trust me..I would have listed it. If I disclose something as minor as a tear on a box, then why wouldn't I disclose scratches? Please review all my postings..recently I posted electronics and listed a missing screw!I realize some people cover things up...and that's not me. Items like the DX6i are in high demand, and I would never cover stratches up deliberately to sell it. It's just not worth it. My Ebay ID is mnjai01 please check all my listings, and 100% feeback with comments. ALso review how much detail I provide on every item including all known issues: http://shop.ebay.com/mnjai01/m.html 3.As you can see in the pics of the initial posting, here is a 2nd DX6i which is mine. The one that came with the Blade (which you purchased) was used to bind, and test the heli, and that's the honest truth. If I missed at any scratches at the bottom, I truly am sorry and do sincerly aplologize. 4.In summary I think it doesn't take long to detect dishonest sellers and I beleive my track record on ebay and RC groups (althogh short) speaks for itself. If you have any issues, please work with me and I'll be happy to help address your concerns.Bringing up an issue almost 10 days after it was delivered leaves off kinds of room for misunderstandings, but I'm happy to help out anyway I can. |

Putin indicates support for Olympic wrestling
Dropping wrestling from the Olympics would not sit well with Vladimir Putin.
Putin was quoted by Russian news agencies as saying Wednesday ''the removal from the Olympic program of traditional forms of sports, which were its basis from the beginning and were in the program of the Olympic Games even in the time of ancient Greece ... is unjustified.''
Putin says he hopes Russia will discuss the issue with the IOC.
Wrestling is one of Russia's strongest Olympic events, and sports officials have been upset by the IOC executive board's vote last month to drop the sport from the 2020 Games.
Wrestling's governing body will meet in Moscow on May 18 to elect a new president and make rules changes.
The final IOC decision on sports will be in September.

My friend John Ward wrote me recently, asking what sorts of reports managers should receive from network security monitoring operations. John posted his experiences using Business Intelligence and Reporting Tools (BIRT), and its role in business intelligence (BI).
What do you put in the NSM reports you provide for management? What would you want to see extracted from the NSM data you collect?

I primarily use Excel. I can pull NSM information from pretty much any tool and whether I manipulate the data or import it in raw form, I can generate reports for mgmt or even the SA/NE's to most peoples liking in Excel.
I do find that mgmt likes the pretty graphs more than the techies. - 10:31 AM

First the good things: the location , I stayed at the dorm section of this hotel for 3 nights (13-16 Dec). The location is right in the heart of georgetown (little india) from where you could walk to major places of attraction (within the george town area). Also the place is close to eateries and bus stand... Then air conditioned room at a very affordable price (around RM 25 per day).
Now the drawbacks: the beds have real poor quality mattresses (low density foam) and my back ached heavily in the mornings. The blanket they provided was just half-size- enough to cover just the legs ( was shivering away the whole night on the first day, till someone switched off the a/cs).The WiFi is free but is excruciatingly slow (and thus of little use), so I used my own wireless modem instead. Being housed in a heritage building (as written on their notices), the walls are thin-wood partitioned and you could even hear the whisper from the other room. At night found it really difficult to sleep.
I would advise travellers to choose this hotel for location and price but not to expect much in terms of facilities. However, if the hotel could improve on few things (the problems mentioned above) it would be a convenient place to stay.

I'm a busy traveling salesman who tries to sneak an hour or two of gaming inbetween 10-14 hour work days. Open-world FPS games are my favorite by far.
Goat Simulator is Evil Feminist Propaganda
on 04.04.2014
I'll start by reassuring you, dear reader, that I am not sexist. So if anything you read after this looks sexist to you, then please refer back to my first sentence for indisputable proof of the opposite. In fact, someone of my best friends are women for all you know.
So, Goat Simulator is currently the best selling game on Steam. Some may see it as an irreverent physics sandbox joke-game, but as someone who is smarter than you and who is tapped into the feminist plot to raise awareness of various first and third world issues which affect both men and women due to systematic and widespread unequal treatment of men and women, I can tell you that this game is propaganda. And you can take that to the bank.
At this point you should be taking my word for it and agreeing with me, but if you want to be stubborn, read on and I will tell you exactly why this game is actually a plot to infect your mind.
First, the protagonist of this game is female. All games with a goat protagonist up to this point have featured a
playable character. This needless break with tradition is
I was looking to have a wholesome, uncomplicated fun romp as a goat, not be constantly reminded of gender issues. I mean, a female protagonist?
I literally don't understand.
You may have also noticed that this lady goat is
literally headstrong
. Coincidence? I think you know the answer, unless you're an idiot.
I know what I'm talking about.
The game begins with our "hero" in a pen with her female companions, doing what female goats do and being where female goats belong. Naturally, the fiendish progressive game designers have given us players the tools and incentive to upset this natural and proper balance.
Many of the places and items in the game can give the goat powers, such as the power of flight and some other things probably. There's a word for this:
. That's a word
feminists say
From beginning to end, Goat Simulator is a 40 to 45 minute videogame which leaks and oozes feminism. I would suggest politely (not that you deserve it) that game developers should focus more on what made games great in the first place: not that.
In the gender wars there is no place for humor. We must not forgive this subterfuge.

Disappointment: Lucy In AssCreed 2 Proves Ubisoft Thinks We're Stupid
on 03.20.2012
In Assassin's Creed, we find ourselves watching and controlling a young man named Desmond, who has been captured by agents of some corporation, and is being forced to relive ancestral memories (which are implausibly stored in his DNA or some nonsense) in order to further their shady goals. Not much is explained, and information is given to Desmond in tiny, inadequate drops as the game progresses. A great sense of mystery is established and maintained.
The only two characters we meet outside of his memories are the scientist apparently in charge of this nasty business, William Miles, and his assistant, Lucy Stillman. William Miles is a stereotypical evil genius: narcissistic, obtuse vocabulary, aloof attitude. But he is well-written into that stereotype.
Lucy is his foil; a person who, even though she is assisting him, consistently sticks up for Desmond (us) and seems to at least regret the whole process that she is a part of. We later discover that she's actually an ally of Desmond's, and that she has a plan, and so on.
Frankly none of this is particularly amazing, though the dialogue is pretty well written. What IS amazing is that Lucy actually looks like a real person. So many titles, especially AAA ones, have only he-men, strippers, children, and old people. That's the range. I've heard a variety of arguments and reasons that women in video games ought to all look like whores, and while I find them unconvincing, frankly, characters like that get boring, and make the creators look lazy.
If Lucy had looked like a tarted-up hussy, it would have distracted us from the role she plays in the story. It wouldn't have fit. But instead, not only does she look like a real person, she looks like a real, living person. As it turns out, she was made to look as much like her voice actor as possible, and just to be clear, that woman is very beautiful, but she's not the impossibly perfect goddess we've all seen a million times in video games. So many details, so many asymmetries, are captured and deliver to us a very real-looking, believable, and interesting vehicle for character and story development. Awesome!
Walking away from the experience of Assassin's Creed, the one thing I found the most memorable and impressive was the design and execution of the character of Lucy Stillman. While most of the story, gameplay, and characters were only partly original at best, at least they nailed this one thing, and that's pretty impressive.
See? Real person. Was that so hard?
Then I played Assassin's Creed 2.
Assassin's Creed 2 is an obvious attempt to improve and build upon what was established in the original. Some crap was removed, some cool stuff was put in, and bullshit mechanics to lengthen gameplay were added as well! And they made Lucy look like this:
How did this change make the game better? HOW?!
Look, I'm all for sexy fun time. It has its place. Like gay Shepherd, for example. But when a character like Lucy 2 is hanging around all the time, it just worsens immersion. It's a constant reminder that this is the game where the audience is treated like they're stupid instead of treated with a tiny bit of respect.
What I'm saying is, I wish more developers would see believable characters as something to strive for rather than something to fix.
I think I'm not alone in my opinion here, because while looking for the relevant images, I came across this:
She also stops being an interesting character, in case you were wondering.

Online Passes: Jim Sterling Doesn't Get It
on 10.22.2011
I'm going to get right to the point:
video game developers owe us nothing
The word "capitalism" is getting used a lot in this conversation, often by people who, in its use, are revealing their ignorance of its meaning. Whenever one makes a purchase in a capitalist system, a voluntary agreement is being made. One party has something to offer, so does the other, an exchange is made, and each one walks away with something worth more to them (at the point of sale) than they gave up. That's how it works.
If you buy a game for $60, then complain that it's not worth $60 because of an online pass, then
you are a hypocrite
. When you paid the $60, you were stating in unclear terms that you thought it was worth it. You can regret the decision later, sure. But not retroactively.
Are online passes "bad for the industry?" Maybe; I'm not sure what that means exactly. Will they make games -which would otherwise be worthwhile- into purchases that aren't worth it? Definitely, for some people. Is anyone moved by complaints by industry giants about needing to pay for this or that with extra fees? Not many, I think. But all of this is totally irrelevant.
They've got something to offer, and we can take it or leave it. We can take it and say it was a stretch. We can leave it and complain the product was ruined by fees. What we
do without being complete assholes is demand a product from an industry which owes us nothing, and take a self-righteous tone as we insolently whine when that exact product isn't delivered to us just how we like it for the price we require.
I can hear some of you saying it now: "but they owe us their existence!" No. We've all made purchases, and those exchanges are complete. It's over. They owed us the games we bought, and we got them. You aren't buying a vested interest in the future of the gaming industry when you buy a game. Those are called stocks, and when Jim complains about online passes ruining the industry, he sounds more like a stockholder should than a gamer should.
Jim, you're a smart guy, and a great writer and speaker. But you don't get it.
Labor Day: Eve Online is a Job in Space
on 09.05.2011
If you've played EVE Online, then you pretty much know how this story is going to go. The EVE Online community is an elite club whose only membership requirement is having done 8 hours of waiting as an ultimate end-game user experience, many times.
EVE Online is a MMO about internet spaceships. You fly around, shoot NPCs, shoot each other, shoot asteroids, and click on spreadsheets. Also you train skills. It's all very exciting. One of the "end-game" features of EVE Online is the installation of Player Owned Starbases. These are persistent structures in the EVE world which may serve as a base of operations for 2-50 players. Someone has to install and manage them, and for some reason I thought it would be fun if that person were me.
I had some time off and a lot of alcohol, so I got started. 50 hours later, I had slept for 3 hours, eaten 2 proper meals, taken 0 showers, and spent the rest of the time watching progress bars go up while I hoped no one discovered me and destroyed all of my efforts, and with them the starbase itself, which I had barely been able to purchase after liquefying all of my other assets. By the end of it, I was down to drinking gin mixed with cookie dough ice cream. I suppose no one actually forced me to do that last bit. But still!
Now, if you're thinking that this was the work part, sadly, you have underestimated EVE Online. The real work came next. Remember when I said these were persistent structures? That means they can be attacked by anyone, any time. If they take enough damage they go into a 18-48 hour period of temporary invulnerability so that you can discover the problem and try to mount a defense, but you must still go through all of your days and nights wondering if someone has decided to make you sad by blowing up your space things. They require fuel which must be constantly supplied by someone. They are often processing or building or mining things, all of which must be managed. And of course all of the different people using the base (any of whom may decide to betray you and mess up your Christmas in a variety of awful ways) will be constantly sending you messages, questions, requests, and threats. I was acutely aware of this at all times. It felt as if I were tethered to the game, an a nearly palpable way.
I had to take the tower down because my pretend internet spaceship job was so much work, I was having trouble doing real work. But seriously, it's an awesome game and you should go play it!

My program prints a large number of short lines to cout
As a slightly contrived example, my lines look a little like this:
cout<<"The variable's value is: "<<variable<<endl;
I'd like the program to run fast and I do believe that endl
is killing me because it initiates a buffer flush on cout
every time it is used.
Now, some folks on the internet have said that I could do this instead:
cout<<"The variable's value is: "<<variable<<"\n";
But this does not seem like a good solution because endl
abstracts the particular system-specific ways an end line might be specified, where as \n
does not. This also seems like a poor solution because, should I need buffering in the future, I would then have to modify the whole code base.
Therefore, I ask, is there a way to disable the buffer-flushing aspect of endl
Further digging seems to indicate that both endl
and \n
respect the various ways an OS might choose to end it's lines. It also seems that the output stream detects if it's in a potentially interactive situation and buffers and flushes accordingly. Therefore: the problem may be solved by manually telling the output stream to perform aggressive buffering... if I can figure out how to do that.

The room was ok but the mattress on the bed was uncomfortable and the bathroom needs updating urgently. Breakfast was poor and we ate out everyday. There is a place up the road called dingo's which does very tasty breakfasts and nice coffee. In town, there is a really nice place called before and after which also does a nice brekkie and is good for drinks in the evening as well. The location of this hotel is quite far out of town. It took us 40 mins to walk, so we hired bicycles everyday. The bikes were a very convienient way to get around and I quite enjoyed the ride everyday. The hotel does a shuttle bus, but the times are infrequent.

Minnesota is a part of the Plains region, which includes the states and/or territories of:
- Iowa / Kansas / Minnesota / Missouri / Nebraska / North Dakota / South Dakota.
Mapping resources
Before editing the maps in Minnesota, be sure to fully review and understand the editing manual.
The Waze user community follows the Waze etiquette guidelines discussed in the Wiki. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these guiding principals while editing the maps and this Wiki, as well as when communicating with other Waze users.
Replace this template message with specific information unique to the state. If the information is more than a screen full, consider moving it to a full subpage. Minimally the following link is required to reach the full subpage from the main page. Exclude this link if all the relevant information is already displayed in this section. |
See Minnesota/Resources for guidance in Minnesota that may not be universal to all other states and territories.
Statewide Minnesota
The Waze forum is a great place to find answers to previously asked questions and also a place to ask new ones. Below are links to the forums specific to Minnesota.
- Minnesota section of Waze forum
- The Plains region forum
- The USA section of Waze Forum
- The USA segment unlock requests
Area Managers for Minnesota can be found in the table below.
New editors should consider checking into the formal mentoring program available at no charge.
Hangout Group
Minnesota also has a Hangout Group for the state. Originally, this was only opened for Minnesota Area Managers; however, after serious consideration, it is now opened to any person doing editing in the state of Minnesota. This will give quick editing guidance and will allow to easily collaborate information between other users in the state. If you wish to be included in this Hangout, Please PM DallasGrant with your Google (Gmail) email address so he can add you to the group.
Hangouts is a free app available on Android and iOS devices. You also can use an extension in the Chrome Web Browser to access this chat. Go to: google.com/+/learnmore/hangouts for more information.
Cities and towns
One of the most common errors when editing the maps is when an editor creates a road and does not confirm the road by setting the city and road name (or stating it has none).
Duplicate cities can be caused by incorrectly named segments and should be corrected following the guidelines in the smudged city article.
Minnesota bases cities and towns on standard city line boundaries and not USPS standards. Where the city limits end, another city or township will begin.
Minnesota does show townships throughout the state. Keep in mind that many of these are named incorrectly. All township names should be [Township] Twp. It should not end in the full word Township or be called Greater [Township] Area.
If we see an error with a city, town, or township name, DO NOT correct the issue in the map itself. Correcting it in the map either will give you errors when you attempt or it will smudge cities. Even if you update every street in the township, the incorrect city name will still exist and will show both names on the live map.
If you see an issue, post it Here and we will submit a report to fix the city name. Keep in mind that this is a very time-consuming process and averagely takes 2-3 months to show correctly on the editing map and another 1-2 months after that before the live map will see it.
We currently are running an experiment with adding residential addressing as a place point using the USPS city as opposed to the township or city it is actually located. We are verifying the negative implications of this and seeing if the positives outweigh the negatives. If you see this on the map, please do not delete it or follow suit as this is an isolated test.
Lock Standards
In Minnesota we have a set minimum standard for locking roads based on the segment type. Any road of a certain segment type must be locked to at least the rank (level) in the chart below. Roads may be locked higher for protection and special situations (areas with construction, tricky design, frequent mistakes, imaging inaccuracies, and the like), but should not be locked lower.
A great time to implement these locks is while performing the FC Upgrade of an area. Lock the roads based on the type after they've been set to FC standards.
Segment Type | Urban[1] | Rural[2] | |||||||||
Freeway | 5 | ||||||||||
Ramp | Highest rank of connected segments | ||||||||||
Major Highway | 4 | 3 | |||||||||
Minor Highway | 3 | 2 | |||||||||
Primary Street | 2[3] | 2 | |||||||||
Street | 1[4] | 1 | |||||||||
:|:|:|:|:Railroad:|:|:|:|: | 2 | ||||||||||
Ferry | 5 |
Note: Before locking these roads to these standards, you must verify that the name of the road, direction of the road, and turn functionality is correct. If this information is not correct, it should not be locked unless we are having issues with editors in the area. The only exception here is Freeways due to the routing priority. Refer to Unlock Requests if you need a section of road altered or unlocked to correct an issue.
Additional:- ↑ This includes any city over 6,000 people
- ↑ This includes any area considered a township or a small town
- ↑ Increase lock level to 3 if House Numbering is correct
- ↑ Increase lock level to 2 if House Numbering is correct
Functional Class
You will hear the phrase Functional Class or FC a lot when it comes to the standard for road types. According to the US Federal Highway Administration, The concept of functional classification defines the role that a particular roadway segment plays in serving the flow of traffic through the network. Waze has its own interpretation of this system, but it utilizes the state's functional class map to help determine the road type to use.
Check out our Mapping Resources for knowledge on how to use the state's map system to find Functional Classifications Standards in Minnesota. From that knowledge, use this chart to determine how the road should be classified using the Waze Standard. Minnesota follows this chart completely aside from dirt or gravel roads in rural areas. This exception will be changed as soon as an unpaved road option exists in Waze.
If you have any questions about Functional Class, please use our Community Resourses to reach out to gain further information.
Major roads
Minnesota follows the general road naming and road type guidelines of the USA.
Below is a list of the six major road types. If you click on the button of the road type, for instance Freeway , you will be directed to a Wiki section that discusses the road type further.
A Freeway is the highest functional class of road. It is designed for higher speeds and limited to entrance and exits ramps being the only way to enter or exit this type of road. All roads set this way will be set as a freeway. Note though, having exit and entrance ramps doesn't make it a freeway if it still has entrance points from roads that connect via a stop sign or a 4-way stop light.
Any road with the Functional Class (FC) as freeway will be coded as a Freeway and will be colored blue on the FC map, but also watch for any roads with the FC Principal Arterial that fit the category of having exit and exit ramps only for connections as it may have had un upgrade since the last state map update.
A Ramp will connect two roads together; however, it will not be used for a simple At-grade connector or in other words a road that doesn't have a different elevation level. There are some exceptions to this rule to understand.
Major Highway
A Major Highway will have the FC as Principal Arterial and typically will be colored red on the FC map. You may also find Principal Arterial - Other Freeways (colored in orange on the FC map) if these roads do not fit the standard definition of a Freeway. All US Highways (US-169) will be labeled as a Major Highway regardless of what the FC map shows unless it can be labeled as a freeway.
Minor Highway
A Minor Highway will have the FC as Minor Arterial and will be colored as green on the FC map. Also, all State highways will have a minimum of this level regardless if the FC map indicates it should be a lower classification.
Primary Street
A Primary Street will be labeled as a Major or Minor Collector on an FC map colored as purple or yellow. Also, pay attention to any paved county road as these will have a minimum of a Primary Street. Also, most frontage roads will have this category as well.
A Street will be for any road in a town or city (regardless if paved or not) that doesn't fit in the categories above. In rural areas, this will be lightly used for paved roads that cannot be considered a County Road (a rarity in the rural areas).
Special roads
Drivable roads
Minnesota follows the standard USA guidelines for all of the following special road types.
- Divided highways and roadways
- Carpool, HOV, Transit lanes
- Roundabouts and traffic circles
- Culs-de-sac
- Dirt roads
- Toll roads
- Partial and scheduled restrictions
- Private installations and military bases
Non-drivable roads
Review the Wiki guidelines for non-drivable roads to ensure compliance with the general guidelines.
Dirt Roads
In the state of Minnesota, most unpaved roads are considered dirt roads. Knowing this will help you create the correct road levels. Undrivable roads should not be mapped, should be restricted, or should be listed as a trail instead and not be connected to any functional roads. Even though 4x4 is in the title, we will only use dirt roads for standard gravel or dirt roads that most vehicles can drive on.
Because most likely people in Minnesota feel a gravel road is a dirt road, we will use Dirt Road for both examples. Please be aware of any of these dirt roads that are minimum maintenance roads as these roads should have restrictions in place for winter months.
The reason the dirt roads classification is important is because a user can decide to not be sent on dirt roads or to only be sent on dirt roads for short distances in the settings of the Waze App.
Keep in mind that if the person does allow for dirt roads, Waze will treat the road as a Primary Street so do not try to make an exception to well maintained dirt roads as a street or you will cause the driver to be directed on undesirable roads. Yes, that's right, a dirt road can be seen as a higher priority than a street! This is very important in rural areas where the Street Category should only be used on very short road segments that are paved. In towns, the Dirt Road Category should be rarely used and an unpaved road should be considered a street or a private road.
Private Roads
Private Roads should follow the Wiki Example on Private Roads. Please be very limited on using this for driveways as, for the most part, these should not be mapped at all.
Keep in mind that on the Waze App, a private road will look like a street. Nothing looks more off than a bunch of streets connected to a dirt road. Also, if house numbering is correct or there is a place point or area within a private road section, this area will still be able to be navigated to the correct destination.
Please follow this Wiki article on Runways for information about how to set runways correctly. These roads should be locked to the same standard as Airport Area itself.
Avoid drawing alleyways unless it is considered a street by the general public. Most alleyways should not be used to direct traffic and will cause unneeded nodes in the road that can cause roads connected to the alleyways to be less desirable.
Minnesota has been adding roundabouts in many locations throughout the state. It is important to note that most roundabouts should only have three to four connections or it will sound confusing to a driver. Following this Example will give proper turn information and roundabout icons on the screen. If you would use multiple-point access, it instead will say the exit number such as, "At the Roundabout, take the 3rd exit".
This is an indication of what a user of Waze should see on an upcoming Roundabout. It is clear at showing the direction of the turn. It also will verbally say what is referenced on the signage such as "At the Roundabout, Continue Straight" or "turn left". This is the Minnesota Standard for creating and editing Roundabouts.
This is how it looks when more than four exit points occur. It does not give clear guidance to the driver on what way to go aside from the highlighted road ahead. This should be avoided, Only add multiple connections per side if the signs clearly mark Exit numbers (Commonly seen on signs showing 5 or more exit points).
Roundabouts will use the same functional class of the main route traveling through the roundabout. Follow This Article for more information.
If at all possible, drive through a roundabout after it has been created or updated. Verify that it seems to give correct information.
When managing a section of roadway under construction or being closed for a major event, follow the Wiki guidelines on construction zones and road closures.
When an event occurs that causes a road to be closed, it is important to know that we have a closure system in place to properly close the road and return the road to normal when the closure is over. There is no need to take the closure into your own hands using restrictions.
Closure or Restictions?
There will be times we will use restrictions to a road being set for closure. If the road has a Scheduled Restriction that occurs like clockwork restricting access during certain times of the day or months of the year, it would be a restriction. You can also set Turn Restrictions for turns that need to be restricted certain times of the day. These are all restrictions because they are standard road limitations that occur on a regular basis.
On the flip side, if the road is being closed due to an event such as construction, a parade, or a natural disaster, we need to create a Closure. Keep reading to see if what you have needs to have a closure in place.
When is a closure required?
This is really dependant on a few simple requirements. First of all, does it require a direction of traffic to be impacted at all? This is important because an actual lane of traffic closed does not necessarily mean a closure is needed if traffic still goes the direction(s) it would normally travel; however, this still could be important if access from the side of the road that is closed is restricted (such as exit ramps and connecting streets). One thing to consider is that a divided highway, in most cases, needs no closures if it affects one of the sides of the highway and all traffic is moved to the other lane unless there is a significant split in the road. In a lot of cases, nothing will need to be altered to make this work.
Bottom line: if the closure will restrict access to a certain direction of the road, restrict access to the road completely, or has a limited connection to a closed road it will require a closure.
In Minnesota, there is not a single location to find all road closing; however, we have included a series of links to multiple city, county, and state resources. These Tools will help find any upcoming closures throughout Minnesota. Also, check our Current Closures to see if an anticipated closure is already being recognized.
Report a Closure
If you know of an upcoming closure that is not listed, or Waze is trying to drive you through roads that should be closed (and we are not too late) Let us know so we can add it to the system. Click Here To access our forum for Road Closure Reports.
Update Requests
An Update Request (UR) is a Map Issue reported by a user from the Waze client app. It is also a layer in the Map Editor. See update requests for more information.
In Minnesota, we have adopted a 1/6/15 system for response to Update Requests. We use this system based on the colors the UR icon would be based on the Interface Elements.
Day 1
This is the first day the editor responds. We typically want to answer a report within 24 hours, but this should be at least attempted within the first 3 days. This will show a yellow UR on the map.
""Thank you for reporting a [general error] through the Waze app. The report was not clear on what exactly happened at [this location]. Could you please explain the issue that occurred further?""
Day 6
If the reporter has not commented after 6 (to 10) days of this initial comment a message should be sent reminding the reporter that we need more information about the problem they encountered to fix the issue. This will show an orange UR on the map.
"We apologize that we have not heard back from you to explain the issue further. We will need a response to fix the issue further. This ticket will be closed in 9 days if no response occurs."
Day 15
If the reporter still has not commented after 9 more days (15 days since the initial comment) a message should be sent telling the reported that we were unable to fix the problem and this report is being closed. The Update Request then needs to be closed as Not Identified. This will show a red UR on the map.
"We apologize that we still have not heard back from you about the issue. We have not found the issue and it could be that your map is giving you incorrect information. Please go to the Waze App, then go to Settings / Advanced Settings / Data Transfer and then Refresh Area of My Map to see if that improves anything. Due to no response, we are closing this ticket. You can submit another report if the issue is still present"
Rural Areas
While we would like to have every inch of Minnesota covered with a network of editors, we are not currently at that level of community involvement. The 1/6/15 rule has been set as the standard for areas with Area Managers and active editors; However, in many areas, there is very little editor coverage. That being said, use good judgment in these areas as there may be Update Requests that are greater than 30 or even 60 days old. There is no penalty or negative perception to answering these, quite the opposite. Please, still take the time to send the reporter a message to see if they can remember the issue and allow them additional time to provide more information. In these areas, we will follow a 1/15/30 rule. Day 1 is the first day an editor responds. Day 15 is the warning message stating the issue will be closing in 15 days. Day 30 to close out the ticket.
"Thank you for your report! I apologize for the late response, we are volunteer editors and in some areas there are not many of us. You reported a General Error near [this location] in [City], Minnesota way back on 9 Dec 14. Do you remember what issue you encountered?"
Unlock Requests
Sometimes, you will come to an issue with a road, but you do not have a sufficient lock level to fix the situation. Click here if you need to setup an unlock request. Please pay attention to the top of this forum where it will give clear instructions on how to create an unlock request.
If you want to check to see if there are any Unlock Requests that you can handle, Click Here to check all open reports for Minnesota. Anything showing the green check mark means it has been completed.
Minnesota follows the USA standard for Places. Do not deviate from the guidelines without first obtaining consensus to do so via the state forum linked on this page.
Not every camera-looking device at an intersection is a speed or red light camera. Generally speaking:
- a speed camera takes a photograph of a vehicle when it passes by the camera at too high a speed.
- a red light camera takes a photograph of a vehicle that enters an intersection after the light is red. In some areas, it takes the photograph when a vehicle is not clear of the intersection some period after the light turns red.
Be sure to know your cameras before accepting new camera reports.
Currently only the Waze client app can add cameras to the map. When adding a camera from the app, be sure to review the camera placement recommendations.
Laws regarding speed and red light cameras vary between the states and territories, so be sure to understand the details of camera legality in Minnesota.
As of February 2013, Minnesota legislature has not approved the use of red-light or speed cameras anywhere in the state. These camera types should not be mapped in Waze. Please delete any of these cameras that get posted to the map! |
To do list
Many states and territories keep an active list of pending or closed actions that need to be done in the state by the editors. All editors are welcome to contribute to the list of activities.
Current/upcoming editing tasks and projects for Minnesota
Priority | Task Name | Assigned To | Latest Update |
1 High | Update all roads to appropriate Functional Classifications | DallasGrant and all AMs | DallasGrant has been editing around the state fixing this |
