BeverleyBest Straightener Ever!!!I've had this straighter for a little over four years and it has just been the best straightener I've ever used. I have long medium thick hair and it will do such a good job at straightening it. I find that it heats up in literally 10 seconds and will stay hot until it's done. Like I said, I've had it for a little over four years and mine is just starting to break (it will randomly turn off but I can turn it back on again), but I've gotten another nano silver and plan to use it for the years to come!posted Oct 7, 2012Link to this post
CourtneyHairDark BrownFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairNot So Straight!At first I loved this flat iron. It's super cute and compact. It ended up breaking this morning after about two years of use. I originally paid close to $90, so I was sad to have to buy another flat iron so soon. Anyway, even though my hair is fine, I have a lot of it and it has weird bends and waves in the back that are hard to tame. Even with this flat iron, they wouldn't lay flat. If I really worked at it, it would lay close to flat, but within hours, the bends and waves came back even when I used product. It was really frustrating. I just thought it was my hair and not the flat iron. I ended up buying a Remington Style Therapy flat iron today because I couldn't find this one at the store. I tried it out and the bends and waves were gone after about a minute. Honestly, I was worried that I had bought a cheaper flat iron and that my hair would be next to impossible to straighten, but it was the exact opposite. I love my new straightener and would never buy the Conair one again. For me, it just didn't work out.posted Oct 3, 2011Link to this post
CassyIt Does The JobI probably would have liked this a lot better if I hadn't had such an amazing straightener before (amika straighters are really good, but I dropped mine too many times so it cracked), but this works and I can still finish pretty fast, and I have relatively thick hair.posted Jul 20, 2011Link to this post
BrittanyHairPlatinum BlondeColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairBe CarefulWhen I first used the flat iron it was ok. But the real reason I am doing a review is because I have burnt my self numerous times. The temperature you set it at is the temperature it practically gets on the outside where the hot plates are. My friend burnt herself on it too. So I would be careful when your holding it to not touch the outside of the straightener.posted Jun 8, 2011Link to this post
JessicaOhioHairDark BrownLove It.I have had this for a year and love it. It heats quikly and gets the job done. My hair doesn't fry at alll. It takes about a hour to straightin my hair which is longer than shoulder length. Every other straightner I have had has broken in the first six months. I would deffinatly reccomend this straightner. Also I seen a lot of people that said this product fries there hair if you switch your shampoo and conditioner about every other month your hair will start to become healthier the reason is because your hair becomes ammuned to the shampoo and contioner. I straighten my hair every day and also curl it sometimes and I do both with this product. I love it. (: -Jessica,16, Ohioposted Apr 11, 2011Link to this post
MeganHairDark BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGood But BreaksI've had this straightened twice and both times it broke within a year. Not worth the buy. Loved it before it broke thoughposted Mar 20, 2011Link to this post

TiffanyHairAuburnNormal HairEhI've had this straightener for about 2 and a half years now and it's been okay. From the start I was amazed with it, but soon discovered that it pulls my hair when straightening, and fries the ends. It was way more expensive when purchased, but I wouldn't recommend it, even at this price. I am now looking at upgrading to a CHI.posted Aug 25, 2010Link to this post
PamSeattleHairBlondeCurly HairColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairLove This Flat IronMy CHI quit working after a few years so I purchased this flat iron and love it. It is light weight, heats up in a few seconds and does a great job of smoothing my thick, curly, caucasion hair. It also smoothed a trouble area that my CHI left rough looking. The only thing I am going to have to get used to is that the outer casing around the plates gets hot - something that does not happen with the CHI or HAI - which I also have. It might be a good feature when using to curl hair. Overall very pleased...posted Jul 14, 2010Link to this post
ShaynaPretty GoodI've been using this straightener for around 4 months. It works great for the price I got it at ($35), but it takes a while to straighten my almost shoulder length hair which is thick and wavy. It does add a bit of shine to my hair, but not a lot. I am worried about it damaging my hair, but so far it's fine. I use leave in conditioner and heat protectant before using. Anyways I'm looking to upgrade to Solia or Sedu.posted Apr 18, 2010Link to this post

The Catalyst drivers after 9.3 do not include support for the X1400. You'll need to use the open source drivers for pre-HD2xxx GPUs.
I am using a DELL Inspiron 6400.
I am trying to use Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04.
I am also trying to install the Catalyst 9.7 driver.
The installation reports no problem.
But as soon as I restart, the sreen will stay black with few glitches on top wich seems to be the progress bar and the computer will lock.
I did build the specific driver, but no lock.
The "Hardware Drivers" wich let you install proprietary driver doesn't show anything regarding any ATI driver availability.
What can I do ??
Thanks in advance,
The Catalyst drivers after 9.3 do not include support for the X1400. You'll need to use the open source drivers for pre-HD2xxx GPUs.
So I need to stick with the driver that Ubuntu installed (mesa) or use the "Legacy Catalyst 9.3" ... ??
Correct, however the "Legacy Catalyst 9.3" package works with Intrepid but not Jaunty.
Too bad, I was hoping to finally be able to start watching videos in fullscreen without having glitches in fullscreen. I am talking about the better compisiting support since Catalyst 9.5 !!
Pretty much yeah. Open drivers along with their Mesa drivers are moving quite nicely. Whether or not they are yet far enough for you, you'd have to find out yourself. Do keep in mind though that by using legacy Catalyst you can't use current X server versions so you probably end up switching sooner or later.
Hold on, something's not right here. The open source drivers already have that "better compositing support" for video playback. On your system the main advantages of the Catalyst driver are on the 3D side, particularly the level of OpenGL support.
If you're not getting smooth playback with the open source drivers in Jaunty give us a rundown of your playback stack, make sure you are using Xv output with Textured Video, and check your CPU utilization. It's not likely the drivers are the issue unless there's an install problem, say drm not running or something.

Make sure you purge out all the proprietary stuff if you're going back to open-source drivers.
Then reboot.Code:sudo /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh # (if it exists) sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* sudo apt-get remove --purge xserver-xorg-video-ati xserver-xorg-video-radeon sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati sudo apt-get install --reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri xserver-xorg-core dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg

Eek, my reading comprehension skills seem to be going down the drain. What bridgman said, ignore my post.
Thank you for all your answer.
Maybe I will go back to Hardy if I can be sure that the mse driver will be the same as the one on Jaunty,...

Product Details
Lexus GS 2001, Stealth™ Hybrid Smart Flex Wiper Blade by Michelin®. Drive safely under the harshest weather conditions with these hybrid wiper blades. They combine the windshield hugging features of a conventional spring loaded blade with the anti-snow build-up feature of a beam blade, for superior, streak and noise free wiping in rain, ice and snow. The EZ-LOK connector system makes them easy to install and they're available in all popular sizes.
- Streak-free quiet wipes in rain, snow and ice
- Unique "Smart Flex" design adapts to your windshield's shape
- Independent suspension provides strong contact across entire blade
- Aerodynamic cover prevents clogging from ice and snow
- Improved rubber compound resists wear and damage from UV and sunlight exposure
- No need to change to a special snow blade during the winter
- Easy to install, on most style wiper arms
- Available in all popular sizes
Traditional wiper blades have a spring loaded frame that provides excellent windshield contact across the entire wiper blade. However, this same frame design can clog with ice and snow, causing gaps and streaking, and make winter driving hazardous. A beam blade will not clog with ice and snow, but its single pre-sprung steel beam down the center of the blade can allow the ends of the blade to lift off the windshield, for less than ideal windshield coverage during the rain.
Michelin combined the best features of both style wiper blades to create the Stealth™ Hybrid Smart Flex Wiper Blade. The Stealth Hybrid's independent suspension adjusts to your windshield's shape, to provide strong contact with the windshield all the way to the ends of the blade, and its Smart Flex technology adapts to the curve of the windshield for the best wipe possible. And to prevent clogging from snow and ice, the Stealth Hybrid's framework is shrouded by a sleek, aerodynamic cover, which also converts airflow over the vehicle into downforce, to help maintain windshield contact and reduce lift and vibration during windy weather and at highway speeds. The Stealth Hybrid's patent pending spring loaded design and weatherproof construction provides superior windshield contact to give you streak-free, quiet wipes, time after time, during the most severe weather conditions.
Stealth Hybrid Smart Flex Wiper Blades are available in all popular sizes, and Michelin's EZ-LOK connector system makes installation easy. Adapters are included to install these wiper blades to hook, side pin, top lock and side lock style wiper arms.

It Takes A Lot To Laugh, It Takes A Train To Cry by Bob Dylan
Well, I ride on a mailtrain, baby
Can't buy a thrill
Well, I've been up all night, baby
Leanin' on the windowsill
Well, if I die
On top of the hill
And if I don't make it
You know my baby will
Don't the moon look good, mama

Don't the brakeman look good, mama
Flagging down the "Double E?"
Don't the sun look good
Goin' down over the sea?
Don't my gal look fine
When she's comin' after me?
Now the wintertime is coming
The windows are filled with frost
I went to tell everybody
But I could not get across
Well, I wanna be your lover, baby
I don't wanna be your boss
Don't say I never warned you
When your train gets lost

Ann Arbor� Numbers don�t make the legends. The players do.
And they do it in games like these, on nights like this, as Devin Gardner and his pal Jeremy Gallon may some day reminisce, though to hear the latter talk, he�ll never manage to be a legend in his own mind.
�For me, I could never imagine doing something like this,� said Gallon, shortly after he�d done it in the nationally televised game of his life.
The fifth-year senior receiver had his hands all over Michigan�s 41-30 victory against Notre Dame on Saturday, finishing with eight catches for 184 yards and three touchdowns � career bests, those last two totals � as the Wolverines lit up the Irish and the scoreboard at Michigan Stadium.
�Not bad,� Taylor Lewan, the Wolverines� All-America left tackle, said when asked about Gallon�s unfathomable night. �Not bad at all.�
Still, the 5-foot-8, 184-pound wideout took a pass when it came to receiving praise after the game, shrugging off the credit the way he did a hamstring injury that had him limping on and off the field in the fourth quarter.
�A game this big,� Gallon insisted, �it�s not me.�
Strong connection
It�s not, of course. If anything, it�s Gardner, whose burgeoning talent at quarterback truly is something to behold. The Wolverines might not have Denard Robinson around anymore to torment the Irish � last year�s interceptions notwithstanding � but it appears they�ve found something bigger and better.
Gardner produced nearly 400 yards of total offense Saturday night � 294 passing, and another 96 on the ground � as well as five touchdowns. (Six, if you include the one he tossed to Notre Dame�s defense early in the fourth quarter.)
But it�s no coincidence that Gallon, the guy wearing Desmond Howard�s No. 21 legacy jersey, was responsible for the majority of that success through the air. Ever since Gardner assumed the starter�s role for Michigan, replacing an injured Robinson last November, Gallon has been his No. 1 target. In those seven games, Gardner has racked up 43 receptions for 742 yards and seven touchdowns.
And this connection they have � �We�ve been closer than Phineas and Ferb,� Gallon told me a month ago � actually began on the sidelines. Gallon caught all of four passes as a redshirt freshman in 2010; Gardner played in just three games that year as a true freshman before sitting out with a back injury.
�We were both on the bench together,� Gallon said with a laugh. �We had a lot of time to talk to each other.�
Now, there are no words necessary. As Gardner says, �No matter what he�s doing on the field, I know where he�s gonna be.�
Saturday, Gallon was everywhere Gardner needed him to be in the first half, catching five balls for 123 yards and two scores, including a highlight-reel 61-yard touchdown that, according to Gardner, was vintage Gallon. He�s as strong as they come � �His arms look like some people�s legs,� receivers coach Jeff Hecklinski says � and blessed with a low center of gravity, but also a sky-high determination level.
As Gardner puts it, �He�s like a little bulldog.�
Highlight play
On Michigan�s second possession Saturday, a nice run from Fitz Toussaint set up a hard run fake on the next play, giving Gardner time to find Gallon open on a dig route across the middle on second-and-8 from his 39. And Gallon, who has crafted his own little legacy in this fleeting rivalry series, turned a nice gain into a memorable one, pinballing off a trio of defenders at the Irish 30 and then inexplicably sprinting away.
�They went to strip the ball and they spun me around,� said Gallon, who didn�t let go and refused to go down on the play. �So I just started running.�
Round and round he went, and where he stopped everybody knew: Gallon was in the end zone, as the record-setting crowd of 115,109 roared in delight.
Two years ago, it was Gallon�s 64-yard reception against the Irish that elicited a similar response, setting up Robinson�s winning throw to Roy Roundtree in the final seconds of the first prime-time game at Michigan Stadium.
This time, he�d play a starring role from start to finish, though. Six of his eight catches resulted in first downs Saturday, as did his 14-yard gain on a reverse on the game�s opening drive. Gallon�s touchdown grab just before halftime gave Michigan a 14-point cushion. His late third-quarter score proved to be the winner. Even on the night�s final touchdown drive, with Gallon clearly limited by the hamstring injury, he managed to draw a pass-interference penalty on a third-down sideline throw from Gardner.
When it was over, someone asked the two close friends, together at the postgame news conference, what they�d tell their kids about this night in 25 years or so.
Gardner was at a loss to answer that one � �I guess I�ll have to cross that bridge when I get to it,� he said with a smile � though he made sure to remind everyone this game isn�t the one that�ll define this season for the Wolverines. Gallon agreed, as brothers tend to do when pushed, before adding one final thought.
�I�m pretty sure I�ll have a film of this,� he said. �I�ll just put it on and have them be the judge of it.�

Forward Motion
It has been a year since Green Industry PRO and JP Horizons first teamed up to help expose the concepts of Working Smarter to landscape contractors across the country. In that time several contractors have joined the Working Smarter Training Challenge. They're finding ways to improve work processes, boost morale, drive out waste, reduce costs, improve customer service, and overall create more competitive companies.
Here's a look at what three of those contractors have focused on over the past year.
TLC Total Lawn Care in Weslaco, TX
TLC topped the million-dollar mark for the first time in 2010, its 11th year in business. That's why owner Gerry Bower felt it was necessary to join the Working Smarter Training Challenge this past November.
"I'm not from the Green Industry; I come from manufacturing," Bower relates. "I understand that a successful business owner must surround himself with quality people who help cover his weaknesses. I also understand that as a company grows, the owner can't influence his people as much because he's simply not around them as often."
TLC sees roughly 80% of its revenue come from maintenance-related services. "I need to create a company culture where employees feel some sense of ownership," Bower says. "This is going to be very important as we continue to grow. I'm not the CEO anymore—I'm the CIO, chief inspirational officer. My employees have to do the rest."
To implement Working Smarter in his company, Bower tapped office manager Elizabeth Castillo as training coordinator. She then invited employees at the crew chief level and higher to attend the voluntary weekly meetings. Bower is not invited to the meetings—which is fine by him. "Working Smarter is an ongoing discipline I want to be prevalent in my company, and I want it to be coming from my employees," he points out.
After meeting for several months, the group amassed a two-page list of ways to improve the company. "Evening shutdown and morning startup" was at the top of the list. The Working Smarter team is now assembling a series of processes and checklists to help improve organization and reduce downtime in this area. These will become standard work that each crew must adopt.
Other items the Working Smarter team is looking to soon address include equipment abuse and unbillable downtime between properties. "No more getting to a jobsite but forgetting to bring a gas can," Bower says.
The implementation of these new processes and checklists is just beginning. Thus, it's still too early to quantify the improvements in terms of time and money. Bower is certain of one thing, though: Morale is up and the possibilities are endless.
"There is a common purpose among employees now—they've become like brothers and sisters," Bower says. "The team is excited about the Friday Working Smarter meetings, and everyone is excited about making our company stronger. I'm proud of what they're doing."
Colorado Stoneworks Landscaping in Colorado Springs, CO
Colorado Stoneworks has been steadily growing since it was founded in 2006. Specializing in maintenance for single family-residence property managers, the company is now up to four crews—and is facing a whole new set of challenges.
"We are young, we started from the ground up, and we've experienced our share of growing pains," says co-owner Anne Campbell. "Now our growing pains have to do with properly managing employees, and making sure their idea of quality work matches ours."
Campbell and her partners, husband Jonathan and Tannan Orr, joined the Working Smarter Training Challenge last September and immediately set their sights on three primary objectives.
Improve communication. Colorado Stoneworks involves each of its nine employees in the weekly Working Smarter meetings, which are mandatory. "We want to make sure our employees know that this is important to not just the company, but to them personally," Campbell points out. "I've been impressed by how everyone has jumped right in to offer suggestions."
Employees are looking at virtually every aspect of the company. "We've found out that our crews were running into problems where certain equipment they needed for a job wasn't available," Campbell relates. "Sometimes we had too many jobs scheduled on a certain day. As owners we're not perfect, and you have to be willing to ask your team for help."
A big white board now hangs in the office. It is used to communicate maintenance issues, equipment problems, meeting reminders, etc. Employees are instructed to check the board every morning.
Estimators now get crews started out on jobs—at the actual jobsites. This is designed to help eliminate those little components of a project that are mis-understood or completely missed.
Filling out job sheets—completely and coherently—has also become standard work. "I tell our crew leaders, 'Someone who knows nothing about landscaping needs to be able to understand what you wrote,'" Campbell says. She's now set some standards as to how things are to be reported. A mock job sheet is used as an example, highlighting sections that are often missed such as customer phone number, fertilizer quantity, the equipment that's used and drive time.
Increase efficiency. Like TLC Total Lawn Care, Colorado Stoneworks wants to improve its evening shutdown and morning startup times. Campbell says her team has concluded that better preparation for the coming morning is the key. For instance, trucks are now backed in at night so they can simple drive out in the morning.
Another area of focus is comebacks. "You have to do things right the first time," Campbell says. "It sounds simple, but it's huge. Employees need to understand the effects of comebacks, and they have to be held accountable. Having our crews complete tool checklists has helped a lot." Positive feedback for a job well done is equally important. Incentives such as gift cards can go a long way.
Increase revenue. Colorado Stoneworks naturally wants to continue finding new customers. They've also come up with another strategy for increasing revenue: accurate pricing and billing.
Billing goes back to communication and making sure crews fill out job notes accurately so customers are billed correctly. On the topic of pricing, "We are in the process of really scrutinizing our flat rates," Campbell tells. "We have to make sure we're charging enough."
Crews now have a "time in/time out" sheet they fill in throughout the day. Campbell says this has helped her identify some areas where they weren't charging enough. Plus, it has helped employees understand how important it is to keep good records in the field. "When employees make the connection that what we pay them is based on what we bill, and what we bill is based on what they report to us, all of a sudden they think paperwork is important. It's been great."
Landscape America in Wrentham, MA
Doug McDuff joined the Working Smarter Training Challenge for the very reason most contractors do: to figure out how to reduce waste in his company. "We just weren't hitting the man-hours we were bidding," McDuff says. "And now is not a time to be raising prices."
The Landscape America staff has put job processes under the microscope, but even more important has been communication between salesman and crew chief. "We can't bill two additional hours because a salesman had to drive a tool out to a jobsite," McDuff relates.
Here is the typical scenario Landscape America is trying to eliminate: Salesman sells a job; job is scheduled but put on back burner; a month later the project is started, but the foreman forgets something the salesman told him, or forgets about a tool they're going to need.
"Now we have a quick meeting every morning," McDuff says. "The foremen have logs where they take notes, each making a punch list for the day. Then they tell us what they need to get it all done. This in itself is solving a lot of our problems."
Downsizing crews has helped solve some other problems. Landscape America switched from three-man crews to two-man on residential accounts. "We determined that a two-man crew can bring in $800 a day," McDuff says. "But a three-man crew can't bring in $1,200. It became pretty clear to us that three-man crews aren't a good idea."
With larger commercial properties, McDuff prefers to send two 2-man crews in separate trucks. When they are done they split off and go on their own for the rest of the day. "We go by square footage," McDuff explains. "Some of these commercial properties are pretty spread out—almost like six or eight normal-size properties. That's where we'll double up."

Hiromi is tight up tight here in this pussy pleasing video because this guy knows how crazy she gets when she starts to have an orgasm. He tied up her hands above her head and tied her legs up, exposing her breasts and playing with her nipples before concentrating on her pussy. Licking it and fucking it with fingers and toys makes her cum loud.
Damn, Hiromi is looking good in her sexy lingerie that frames her tiny titties right, and her red fishnet thigh high stockings that give her man room to eat her pussy and fuck her with them on. She makes sure to leave them on as he slides his cock inside her well-lubed hole, and gets on top of her to fuck her as deep as he can get it inside her.
If Hiromi ended up behind bars for being too good of a fuck, you can see why when she´s screwing this lucky guy in her fishnet stockings. Her skinny MILF body can take one rough pounding, whether she´s being pinned down and fucked, or whether she´s getting on top and going for a ride. If she can taste cum like this, maybe prison won´t be bad.

Quincy downtown road paving postponed
Feather Publishing
Updated 9/24/2013
Updated 9/24/2013
According to Caltrans, the weather has prevented work on the project beginning on Tuesday as initially anticipated. The new plan as of today, is to begin paving operations next Monday, during the daytime hours and pave through Friday.
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) District 2, along with contractor Hat Creek Construction & Materials, Inc., from Burney, CA, will begin paving operations on a nine mile stretch of State Route 70/89 on Tuesday, September, 24, 2013 during the day.
Work in the downtown area that was scheduled during nighttime hours, must now be performed during daylight hours due to the type of materials being used and the current temperatures in Quincy. Motorists are likely to encounter congestion and minor delays.
Caltrans has set up a hotline (530) 225-3452. It can be accessed 24 hours a day and will provide updates about current projects, including the Quincy Microsurfacing Project. You can also find more information by visiting www.caltrans2.info
Caltrans would like to remind the traveling public to please move over if safe or slow down when they see Caltrans vehicles flashing warning lights along the side of the highways, and to Slow for the Cone Zone.

The HUD Inspector General's Office released an audit earlier this week on the department's progress in making sure local public housing agencies aren't subsidizing the deceased. According to the report, local "agencies made an estimated $15.2 million in payments on behalf of deceased tenants that they should have identified and corrected."
Downsizing Blog
FHA Woes Continue
High-Speed Money Grab
Boeing's Government Bank
The Pew Charity Trust's Subsidyscope website just released a report on the Export-Import Bank, which is a government agency that helps finance U.S. exports through loans and loan guarantees. As it turns out, Boeing is hands down Ex-Im's biggest beneficiary.
Government of Continual Failure
The Washington Post is full of so many stories about government failure these days, it's hard to keep up.
Today, on page A19 we learn about a Small Business Administration subsidy program that has a 60-percent default rate. On the same page, we learn that the U.S. Postal Service will lose $7 billion this year.
More Cost Overruns at Defense
Benjamin Franklin said: "In this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes." I would add a third certainty: cost overruns at the Pentagon. The Government Accountability Office recently reported that the Pentagon's space program is facing multi-billion dollar cost overruns and multi-year delays.
Central Planning at Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded $2.4 billion in stimulus money to develop and manufacture electric vehicles. The ostensible purpose of the government's effort is to set the nation on a path toward more environmentally friendly transportation. But as the USA Today notes, electric cars might not provide the environmental benefits that proponents cite:
Chicago's Housing Subsidy Debacle
I haven't followed the controversies surrounding Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor to President Obama. However, her tenure as the CEO of a company that received federal money to run a public housing project deserves further scrutiny.
Neutering the Spenders
The Washington Examiner reports on projects funded by the economic stimulus package passed earlier this year that most taxpayers will find either dubious or objectionable.
Public Dollars for Private Profits
The federal government is running $1 trillion deficits, but that hasn't slowed down the government's corporate welfare gravy train. As a microcosm of the business subsidy problem, I happened to notice in an Ohio newspaper that the U.S. Department of Commerce is footing the bill for the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber to fund a 16-day junket to China and Taiwan.

Does The Timing Of Your Social Sharing Really Matter? Part 1
We, as full-time online marketers, typically work Monday through Friday each week. The Internet and social media sites hum along 24 hours a day 365 days a year. It makes sense then that we have to match our potential market's schedule so we reach and engage the most people. So, it stands to reason that sharing your information using social media during Monday through Friday business hours will not reach the majority of your target audience! Or, is this not true?

The Government of Kenya in partnership with UNEP, UN Habitat, the World Bank and the SSATP, organize the first Africa Sustainable Transport Forum in Nairobi on October 28-30, 2014.
SSATP is launching its Community of Practice as a knowledge-sharing platform providing access to discussions, documents and expertise on topics related to transport policies in Africa, and a tool to share good practices among African transport practitioners and stakeholders.
International treaties and conventions are critical to facilitate transport and trade in Africa. 145 legal instruments are presented in this new SSATP publication.
Conclusions and recommendations from the Africa Transport Policy Forum and the 2013 SSATP Annual Meeting held in Dakar, Senegal in December 2013.
Most traffic fatalities worldwide take place on only 10% of the road network, mainly on the busiest corridors. SSATP has just launched guidelines on how to address this scourge.

Already done a reboot and reinstall, doesn't fix it. Screenshot shows what it looks like in cubasis, it's the third track and there is a strange gain icon inside the track.

Yanks hope to get offense going against Rays
Club looks to back McCarthy, who matches up with Tampa Bay's Cobb
Despite an onslaught of injuries, the Yankees' starting rotation has not been a problem this year, not nearly as problematic as the inability to get consistent production from their offense.
They will enter a three-game series with the Rays at Tropicana Field on Friday on a four-game losing streak in which they have scored just seven runs. They rank near the bottom of the American League in runs, OPS and home runs after spending a combined $283 million to sign Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran as free agents this offseason.
"All teams have injuries, but when you lose four of your starting pitchers by the All-Star break, three by the first or second week in May -- it's going to have an impact on any club, in my opinion, regardless of how good their farm system is," said Hal Steinbrenner, the team's managing general partner, who spoke with reporters at the quarterly Owners Meetings in Baltimore.
"That's certainly been part of it. But we put a lot of money into the offense as well, and they have been, as a whole, inconsistent. It's been a problem. And it needs to change, needless to say."
The Yankees are hoping their offense will eventually come to life, and their postseason hopes are riding on it.
Brandon McCarthy will make the start in the opener against the Rays. He took his first loss as a member of the Yankees in his last start despite a solid outing -- two runs on seven hits in 6 1/3 innings -- but New York was shut out.
The Rays have the ability to make a huge impact on the race for the American League East, considering all but nine of their remaining games are against teams from their division.
"That's all you can ask for really, being able to have some sort of say-so about what's going to take place in late September," said Alex Cobb, Friday's starter. "And being able to give yourself and the team a chance to be in the race as much as we can control. I think the schedule set up purposely that way, so you're facing teams in your division. And it makes for a more interesting race down the stretch."
Earlier in the year, he was struggling with his mechanics but Cobb seems to have put those issues behind him. In his last three starts, he is 1-0 with a 1.83 ERA with 22 strikeouts.
Yankees: Tanaka throws off flat ground
Masahiro Tanaka fired 10 fastballs across flat ground on Wednesday afternoon, another important step if he plans to return to the mound this year.
"It's feeling really good," he said through an interpreter. "Really, I didn't feel anything special compared to just regular tossing. I thought everything went well."
Tanaka still needs to advance to throwing bullpen sessions and batting practice before he faces hitters in rehab games, but he is still eyeing a return in September.
"That's our hope," manager Joe Girardi said. "We wouldn't be going through this if we didn't expect him to pitch for us. Our hope is he'll pitch in September."
Rays: Heading home
The Rays start a six-game homestand Friday night beginning a stretch in which they will play 29 of their next 32 against AL East opponents and 28 of their next 32 against teams currently over .500.
They have gone 19-10 in their 29 games against teams over .500, won seven of their last 11 at home and are 11-9 since June 25 after getting off to a 16-23 start at Tropicana Field.
Worth noting
• Tampa's legendary high school baseball coach Pop Cuesta will throw out the ceremonial first pitch Friday night. Cuesta announced his retirement this year after 43 years as coach of Tampa's Jefferson High School where he coached former Rays Fred McGriff and Tino Martinez.
• The Yankees are planning to activate catcher Brian McCann on Saturday when he is eligible to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list.
• McCarthy is 4-2 with a 2.93 ERA in 10 career games against the Rays.
