Looking for an affordable SSD but demand a high-performance controller? Kingston's SSDNow V300 is shaping up to be just that. Powered by a SandForce SF-2281 controller and paired with Toshiba's 19nm Toggle-based NAND, it's an aggressive entrant for its price-point. Let's check it out.
Note: Since the publication of this review, Kingston has changed the NAND used in the V300, rendering our results inaccurate. Please refer here for more information.
Kingston is no stranger to SSDs; in fact, over the last five years the company has offered the most diverse repertoire of drives available. Specifically, it's utilized one or more generations of controllers from Toshiba, Marvell, JMicron, Samsung, and even SandForce, with its high-performance HyperX SSD series. To add to that list, it also has the unique distinction of being the only company ever authorized to sell SSDs with Intel controllers inside. With such a history behind it, it should be clear that Kingston isn't just another name floating around the SSD market; rather, it's one of the major players.
To start off the New Year, the company has ushered out a new line of budget SSDs, called SSDNow V300 – but there is something different about this one. It's been a little over a year since Kingston introduced its flagship HyperX brand to the SSD market using the well-known LSI SandForce SF-2281 controllers – what's new, is that the same controller can now be found inside this value-branded V300 offering as well.
The SSDNow V300 offers all the same SF-2281 features one has come to expect, including SATA 6Gbps (3.0) support and high performance with compressible data, although with the usual Kingston extras such as tweaked SandForce firmware, the use of thermal pads on drive components, and a three-year warranty. Actually, the only real distinction between the HyperX and the V300 is the NAND itself. To produce a budget-friendly SSD Kingston is pairing the V300 with newly-launched 19nm Toshiba Toggle NAND. Out of the three common varieties of NAND, Toggle-based NAND is the best type for performance, so our test results may prove interesting.
The SSDNow V300 is available by itself and in desktop and laptop upgrade kits. The desktop kit includes the usual 3.5" brackets, data and power cables, a disc containing Acronis True Image cloning software and an installation video. The laptop kit differs in that it features a small pocket-sized USB enclosure that the SSD slips inside for easy transport and portable use as an external USB drive. The laptop kit replaces the desktop bracket for a 7mm to 9.5mm adapter, as the V300 follows the current trend toward the 7mm form factor.

The performance numbers are a little peculiar given that the smallest SSD offers the highest IOPS rating, but even if the ratings were accidentally reversed in the spec sheet, the differences are minor. The results are also highly generalized, but we have listed what is included in the datasheet. Performance should instead be closer toward the listed specs with the larger capacity models, especially given this is what the reference PCMark Vantage numbers would indicate.
Something else worth pointing out are the endurance figures. While SandForce controllers rely on data compression to achieve top performance, this has a beneficial side effect of minimizing the writes to the NAND and thereby increasing the actual endurance rating. The 128GB OCZ Vector may have a five-year warranty for example, but interestingly Kingston rates the smaller 60GB V300 SSD with a nearly equivalent minimum write rating (32TB vs 36.5TB). With 64TB and 128TB ratings for the larger capacity SSDs, it's most likely one will be replacing their SSD to a SATA Express-capable drive before it ever has a chance to wear out. If that wasn't enough, these are not even finite lifespan limits, just the bare minimum of writes the NAND is expected to perform reliably – the SSDs should last even longer.

AMANPOUR: Well, and you've written about this, reorientating America towards this new challenge, and it looks to me -- I don't know whether you agree -- that the U.S. is sort of maybe moving away from the Middle East and Iran to an extent, and moving towards Asia, the Pacific as the president has said.
HAASS: Well, makes great strategic sense, in the sense -- look, if you look at the world, where's the great concentration of wealth? Asia. Ultimately, this wealth is going to be translated into other forms of power, China, India, Korea, Japan, what have you. This is -- this is where history in the 21st century is largely going to be written. How Asia plays out will determine more than anything the character of the coming decades. But the Middle East still has the potential to wreck things, whether it's through terrorism, instability, oil, you -- or nuclear proliferation.
So the Middle East is still the fly in the ointment. We can't -- we can't ignore it. We can't move away from it, but we can avoid future Iraqs. American forces have just been home. We can't avoid future Afghanistans. That's sort of large-scale American land force investment in the Middle East. Bob Gates was right. Those days are over.
AMANPOUR: What about the other major headwind for the United States, which is this global economic crisis? We see it playing out most perilously in Europe right now.
WRIGHT: Well, one of the reasons I think the United States is engaging in what's called strategic rebalance toward Asia is because the barometer of power increasingly is defined by economics and less and less by military might, reflected in the fact that we can't actually achieve our goals in Iraq and Afghanistan militarily.
It takes a lot of political muscle. But the fact that we've ignored what's been happening in Asia with the reemerge -- or the emergence of China and South Korea as these strong economies, but the challenges is looking at Europe and can it survive.
And one of the things that's so interesting about the world in the 21st century is how we're moving to a global world through regional blocks. And a lot of what happens in Europe will influence what happens in other regions of the world. Can it unite around whether it's a financial unit or a constitutional or common political goals?
AMANPOUR: In our last 45 seconds, how perilous is what's happening in Europe right now, given it's the largest market for the U.S.?
HAASS: It is perilous, and the politics have lagged behind the economics and the finance, and that's not going to change. You're not going to see a integrated Europe in the fiscal sense that will match the monetary sense.
I've just come back from China. What was interesting in all my meetings with senior Chinese officials, the first question they had was Europe. They are worried that if Europe goes badly, China's ability to export will go down. That raises fundamental questions about China's economic model and hence political stability.
So Europe right now was the dominant issue in 2011, along with the Middle East. Probably those two issues, they're going to stay dominant in 2012.
AMANPOUR: Robin Wright, Richard Haass, thank you so much indeed for joining us. And Happy Christmas, happy holidays. And when we return, your road map for the start of election 2012, what to expect in the week ahead. That's coming up.

Overstating the threat from the Islamic State?
Re: "Islamic State is biggest threat since World War II," May 20 guest commentary.
I am disappointed that The Denver Post published such a misinformative guest commentary as the one by James H. Davis, a principal at a Longmont "public safety" company. Claiming that the Islamic State is "perhaps the most significant threat since World War II" appears to be self-serving of his business interests.
Davis might be too young to fully appreciate the threat posed by the Soviet Union and its communist ideology, but I doubt it. He was, after all, in the FBI for 26 years. To claim now that the Islamic State is even "perhaps" as significant a threat as USSR's aspirations of world domination and constant threat of total annihilation is inarguably senseless. Just visit Cheyenne Mountain.

Irvine, Geoffrey S. Fearns: I was disappointed, but unsurprised, to read about the arrest of a young man at the 2014 Vans U.S. Open of Surfing who was arguing with police about the propriety of searches conducted at that event ["Police taking no-nonsense approach at U.S. Open," Local, July 28].
Apparently, Mr. Tezcatlipoca felt that officers were unlawfully searching those attending without the necessary probable cause and emphasized his opinion by giving the officers the middle finger.
In doing so, he was clearly engaging in free speech that is most assuredly protected by the First Amendment, but he was nonetheless arrested on the Orwellian charge of "using offensive words in public."
Cohen v. California speaks directly to this issue, which concerned a young man who was arrested for wearing a jacket emblazoned with the words "F---- The Draft." The Supreme Court expressly held that a simple public display or utterance of some choice expletives cannot be held to be a criminal offense. In his majority opinion, Justice Marshall Harlan II famously wrote "one man's vulgarity is another's lyric," and made clear that the state cannot censor their citizens in order to make a more "civil" society, reasoning that people bring passion to their political views, and vulgarity is simply a side effect of a free exchange of ideas.
I realize that maintaining order at these events is a challenging task, and there is a strong temptation on the part of police to arrest those they find annoying or disrespectful on some sort of pretextual charge. "Contempt of cop" is not a crime, however, and if the facts are as stated in the article, I suggest the arresting officer (and his supervisor) be given a remedial course in constitutional law.
It may save the city some money on civil-rights violation lawsuits.
Netanyahu's and Putin's strategies
Yorba Linda, Matt Kelley: Since letter-writers like Jamshed Dastur ["Netanyahu taking lessons from Putin?" Letters, July 30], will not tell the whole truth about the Gaza war, others like me will have to tell the whole story:
Israel gave up Gaza in 2005, including many improvements such as farms. In 2006, the residents of Gaza elected Hamas (a verified terrorist organization that has a declared intention of destroying Israel and killing Jews) as the dominant political force.
In 2006, rocket attacks resumed – fired from Gaza into Israel. Since 2006, the Israel Defense Forces have reported 12,632 rockets have been fired at Israel – virtually all from Gaza. In 2014 alone, there have been 2,491. The so-called "unconditional ceasefire" is bogus. Israel agreed to a ceasefire; it was Hamas that has refused to stop shooting rockets and sending terrorist squads through tunnels into Israel to murder and kidnap Israelis.
I think the refusal to allow Israel to defend itself from aggression by Hamas and other terrorist groups is a refusal to acknowledge Israel's right to exist. As Prime Minister, Netanyahu has a responsibility to defend his country and his people from attacks. The Gazan attacks are obviously acts of war. Putin's Russia has attacked Ukraine as part of an obvious strategy of imperialism and conquest – not self-defense. Any honest assessment of the facts shows the obvious differences between the actions of Russia and that of Israel.
A comparison of Netanyahu's actions to those of Putin is dishonest and inaccurate.
Traffic requires a comprehensive solution
Irvine, Harry Briggs: I drive regularly on I-405 to Los Angeles, so, naturally, I have been following the debate over widening the freeway and possibly adding toll lanes.
|Cars move slowly along I-405 in May 2012. (FILE PHOTO)
I applaud all efforts to improve traffic flow, save fuel and reduce commute times. However, I believe that widening I-405 between Route 73 and Seal Beach is not a long-term solution. Northbound traffic will still come to a screeching halt where lanes are reduced in Long Beach, the South Bay and West L.A. Just look at what happens to northbound commuters every weekday morning on I-5 when they reach the L.A. County line.
In my opinion, any time and money spent widening I-405 will be wasted, unless Caltrans develops a comprehensive plan to improve the entire Greater Los Angeles and Orange County freeway systems.

History has shown that poverty and famine can lead to war and civil uproar. Indeed there are factors out of the control of a scientist like myself.
Mélanie Gouby discusses her professional involvement with the Virunga project as well as her emotional attachment to the region she got to know so well.
This reluctance to actively consider something that causes cognitive dissonance or necessitates reappraisal of our actions is reprehensible. This reluctance is the death knell of countless species and ecosystems on Earth that we have come to love and are loathe to imagine the world without.
The forests that produce our oxygen are in turn dependent on animal species that are sustained by them, and pay it back in various ways, such as by dispersing seeds. The vast interdependence of life is a bedrock principle of biology, from bees to buffalo to banyan trees. As glaciers melt and sea levels rise, our fellow species and we will sink or swim together.
I don't appreciate the whole free will thing, but I am stuck with it. If you want to play let's make a deal, I'm ready any time. The future's on the menu, and I can really cook. So dinner is at my place, and I'll save you a seat at the table. As for saving anything else -- well, I guess that all depends upon your appetite.
I hate to say I told you so, and could be too dead to do so, so I'll tell you in advance: One decade soon, environmental problems will stop tracking with GDP.
If world carbon emissions continue to rise on their current trajectory, one in six species will be gone or on the road to extinction by century's end, according to a study published in Science magazine.
The Virginia Key Beach Park was the only beach open to African Americans in the Miami area during the segregation period. By 1982, the park was closed due to high maintenance costs.
As Earth Day approaches, I'd like to take a moment to thank Ed for inspiring so many scientists and science enthusiasts to better understand and protect our planet's precious natural resources. Our world could use more rock stars like this one.
Scientists believe that this round of mass extinction is accelerating, and one way or another, it all traces back to us, whether thanks to the way we are changing the planet's atmosphere or to what Kolbert terms a human-induced, often disastrous "intercontinental reshuffling of species."
Today, no one knows if the clock of extinction for the species stands at two minutes before midnight or two minutes after. In spite of its exotic horns, the animal is unknown in traditional Chinese medicine. Rather, the last living remnants of the species risk being taken as by-catch, like sea turtles in a shrimper's net.
Please take a moment to think about what you can do to protect the arteries of our planet. We can all avoid products that waste and pollute valuable water. We can educate our children about a way of life that respects the ecosystems of our planet.
While it is hard to get excited by a string of meetings and a long list of acronyms, they nonetheless point in a forward direction; the world is finally coming to grips with the stark reality that we are pushing the planet's life support systems to their limits
It's no secret we can count on one hand how many black entrepreneurs were produced out of the Industrial Revolution. If we don't open our eyes and take some action we'll be left out... again.
Over the past 8 years at least 660 million sharks have been slaughtered. That's enough to fill the entire 103-story Empire State Building with dead shark bodies 18 times, or, one building every 20 days, each year. That means at least 90 percent of sharks globally were poached in all oceans.
From The Great Australian Bight to Lake Macquarie, NSW, the race to destroy sealife to extract more climate disrupting oil and gas has reached a diabolical frenzy.

2000 BEST Sommelier
Jeannie Rogers, Il Capriccio
Jeannie Rogers is a soft-spoken woman, but when it comes to wine she sure knows her stuff. After 20 years of building the incredible cellar in Waltham at Il Capriccio, Rogers knows her customers and works hard to give them what they want. Sometimes, that means a little education: No wonder Rogers is on the founding advisory board of the Boston University Elizabeth Bishop Wine Resource center. Through her feet are deeply planted in the Boston area, Rogers' head and palate look toward the vineyard-dotted, rolling hills of Italy. Her interest in Italian varietals is duly noted on her hand-picked wine list (90 percent of selections are Italian), but not at the expense of some great varietals from Austria, Germany, France, and even Santa Barbara. Don't miss the grappa selection on the dessert wine list.

Patricia Sullivan"Paradoxes of Desegregation brings fresh insight to the struggle that unfolded around education in South Carolina, demonstrating its formative role in shaping the possibilities and limitations of the civil rights movement in the Palmetto State. Scott Baker offers a textured analyses of the African American challenge to unequal schools and the parallel efforts of white policymakers to resist and contain black access to public education. At the heart of the book is a compelling account of a movement that grew from the aspirations of black communities against the backdrop of major shifts in the social, economic, and political landscape of South Carolina and the nation from the Depression to the mid-1970s. This is a history that explains much about what changed, what failed to change, and why. It is a stunning achievement."

The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- The economy grew at a 3% annual rate in the fourth quarter of 2011, but first half growth is likely to disappoint, renewing upward pressures on unemployment.
Fourth quarter growth was powered by stronger consumer spending -- especially on autos, substantial additions to business inventories, and stronger multifamily home construction. In the first quarter, gains in consumer spending continued, but outpaced income growth. However, unlike the boom years of the last decade, households are not able to refinance credit card debt and auto loans by further mortgaging their homes, and consumers simply have to slow down soon.

Though Schaffer acknowledges that the technique could be used to help pathogenic viruses evade the human immune system, potentially making them more virulent, he said that other and easier techniques already allow this frightening possibility.
AAV consists of two genes enclosed within a ball, or capsid, of proteins. The capsid proteins are what antibodies recognize, and as a result were the target of directed evolution. To provide the raw material for evolution - the genetic variation from which nature selects the best-adapted organism - the researchers created mutant viruses by introducing small variations in the genes through an error-prone polymerase chain reaction (PCR) coupled with a test tube recombination technique. After reassembling the mutant viruses inside their capsids, they introduced them to blood serum pooled from rabbits immunized against AAV, and thus containing many types of antibodies to AAV. Only the mutant viruses good at evading antibodies to AAV survived the serum.
After passing the viruses three times through increasingly more potent serum, they isolated the survivors and subjected them to another round of PCR that introduced more mutations. After passing this second generation through serum three times, they isolated viruses that could survive AAV antibodies much better than the original strain of AAV. One strain of virus was 96 times more effective than the wild AAV, and two evolved strains survived injection into mice with nearly 1,000 times the level of antibodies required to neutralize the wild virus.
By sequencing the survivor strains, the researchers discovered that the capsid proteins of the survivors differed from those of the original strain by only seven amino acid building blocks, two of which were responsible for most of the altered interacti

" @oldschool said:By the contrary, I repeatedly pointed out that it would be just as pathetic if it were about a high profile game on either the 360 or PS3. My commentary is console neutral. I am not in the slightest bit upset. It is just another confirmation for me that journalism here is a sad and pathetic joke, not that it needed more confirmation." @Trilogy said:I'm not trying to "get" you. This isn't an argument between me and you really and I'm not about to defend Jeff. He's a grown ass man and he can defend himself if he wants to." @oldschool said:Oh yes, you got me good. Me and my 360, Xbox, 2 x PSP, PS2, PS1, Sega Mega Drive, Sega Master System, PC and assorted Nintendo consoles are such fanboys. Again, show me how I mentioned Nintendo in any of the replies or stop talking out of Jeff's arse. All I have read here is simply about the worst kind of journalism perpetrated by the stupidest thread any staff member here has made, and that is saying a lot. "Maybe for you it is but I have no vested interest in this article at all. I just think it's hilarious to see all of the nintendo fanboys come out and condemn Jeff. Fanboyism = Simpleminded. You're a pretty damn good example of this. Therefore, you make me laugh. Therefore, thank you. "
" @Trilogy said:" Nintendo fanboys... thanks for the laughs. "You are espousing the same simple minded nonsense you perpetrated on the other thread. This isn't about Nintendo, this is about Jeff's bad and very childish attempts at journalism, that wouldn't get printed in your hometown newspaper because it so void of intellect. The Nintendo aspect is completely irrelevant. "
All I'm saying is that fanboyism is pathetic. I mainly play games on a 360 but I also game on my pc, my ps2, my Wii and other various systems. That being said, you don't see me getting upset if somebody takes a a big fat verbal dump on the 360 or microsoft because I'm not a fanboy. I don't get defensive and call out the integrity of game journalists when they don't agree with me. Fanboys do.
Lets face it, if this article was about an official sony magazine doing a special on the next major ps3 exclusive, you wouldn't be upset. "
You need to try and separate commentary about bad journalism and game console preference. They are distinctly different things. Every time someone criticises poor journalism on a Nintendo product it is too quickly slated as fanboyism and it is far from it. The Nintendo users here don't really care who dislikes the Wii, they are too busy playing it and having fun. However, if they see studity in any form, like this thread, then they are entitled to call "crap journalism" when they see it.
Just for the record, I never came close to finishing Super Mario Galaxy as it both made me sick and didn't really excite me (it did look good though) and I am in no hurry to buy SMG2 (I haven't even bought NSMB yet), so it isn't even as if I have some vested interest in the game. This is not new news, as I have that position clear several times before.

Quick story to say why l am so angry. For christmas we took out a contract phone for him. Very indulgent but we thought hey this poor boy had his phone stolen and if it's insured etc etc. Also he was keeping his old payg phone to go out and play footie etc. So he got a very nice Sony Eric blah blah C905.
Yesterday he strolls in and says this phone is insured "innit" and i say well depending on what has happened. The stupid boy had taken it out and not his old one. Well he had played football and rolled around like the numpty he is. Dropped it on concrete and full screen smashed and the pixel screen gone.
It was his attitude that has nfuriated me the most. I could knock him out.
It wasn't my fault. Well yes it was you shouldn't of had it.
Well here is the upshot , l am so disgusted by his attitude to money and the cost of it i have laid these punishments down.
1) No phone no going out. So he has to buy a cheap vodafone phone to put his sim card in.
2) he now pays the £20 contract.
3) He is going on a school ski trip in April at a cost of £629. The decision to send him was made before the eco turndown. As you know Mr Bumbles job is going. But we thought no he can go we can do this. But with this now in mind l am making him buy his ski waer. A jacket off ebay and we are hiring saloppettes (sp). Thankfully we have borrowed alot but l need to hit him hard in his pocket as this will hurt him the most.
Sorry for this huge rant as you can tell l am very angry and upset .

Understanding Rules Noncompliance 17 Measuring Compliance with Leading and Lagging Indicators Continuous improvement in safety-related rules compliance requires ways to monitor and measure practices that public transit agencies use to encourage safe behavior. Safety profession- als advocate that "You can't improve what you don't measure." Many safety systems, including those focused on rules compliance, focus on lagging indicators. Lagging indicators are measures of undesirable outcomes that have already occurred (Blair and O'Toole 2010). The numbers of rule violations, vehicle accidents, and injuries are examples. In contrast, leading indicators focus on activities or conditions that, if completed, will prevent or reduce the risk of lagging indicators. They help improve future performance by promoting action to correct the latent factors that cre- ate safety risks. Leading indicators focus on process and are achievement-oriented while lagging indicators are avoidance-oriented. Leading indicators include measures such as number of indi- viduals trained, number of safety meetings, number of safety-related communications, and number of reports to a safety reporting system. Safety Culture, Management, and Rules Compliance While the academic literature does not share a single standard definition regarding safety culture, researchers as well as practitioners agree that safety culture is a subset of organizational culture (see Figure 2). As such, safety culture represents that part of an organization's culture that relates to safety. Therefore, safety culture encompasses organizational structure as it pertains to safety as well as the way people think, feel, and behave with respect to safety practices (Cooper 2002). Related to the notion of safety culture is safety climate. While these two terms have sometimes been used interchangeably, they are different constructs. According to Flin, Mearns, O'Connor, and Bryden (2000), "safety climate can be regarded as the surface features of the safety culture discerned from the workforce's attitudes and perceptions at a given point in time." Given this definition, assessing safety climate provides a "snapshot" of an organization's safety culture. Safety climate assessment tools provide a way for transit agencies to measure their organizational commitment to safety. A review of the relevant safety culture and climate literature suggests that rules compliance is optimal when an organization addresses the following dimensions of safety culture (Antonsen 2009; Cooper 2002; Flin, Mearns, O'Connor, and Bryden 2000): Culture Organizational structure, Situational factors policies, procedures and ...what the organization has management systems Behavioral Management, supervisory Behavioral factors Cognitive ...what people do and employee decisions, communication and actions Situational Cognitive factors Management, supervisory and employee values, ...what people think & feel attitudes and beliefs Figure 2. Organizational culture.

18 Improving Safety-Related Rules Compliance in the Public Transportation Industry Management and Supervision When assessing safety culture, one of the most important factors to consider is the level of com- mitment of management and supervisors to encouraging safe operations. This must be a genuine effort so that employees are able to perceive organizational commitment and internalize this atti- tude into their own set of personal values. Also, leadership style of both upper management and first-line supervisors is an important impetus for worker safety. The types of questions that formal assessment tools must answer include the following: � When it comes to safe operations, do management and supervisors "walk the walk" or just "talk the talk?" � Is there a consistent message regarding safety from top-level management as well as at the level of first-line supervisors? � Do workers perceive that management is specifically committed to safety and in general concerned with their overall well-being? Safety System Safety culture assessments usually involve characterizing the makeup and functionality of an organization's safety system. Elements of a safety system include a safety management system (SMS), the presence and hierarchical position of safety officials, safety committees, policies, and equipment. Fern�ndez-Mu�iz, Montes-Pe�n, and V�squez-Ord�s (2007) define an SMS as "a set of policies and practices aimed at positively impacting on the employees' attitudes and behav- iors with regard to risk." The aim of an SMS is to intervene on the circumstances that result in risks and accidents. This involves identifying and analyzing both latent and visible hazards. Bottani, Monica, and Vignali (2009) surveyed 400 manufacturing firms, some with and some without formal SMSs. The results demonstrated that the attitudes regarding several safety- related variables were better for safety officials from the companies that had formal SMSs. Further research is needed that uses process measures in addition to attitudinal ones. There have been guidelines set forth for conducting a hazard analysis for transit projects (Adduci, Hathaway, and Meadow 2000). Recently, the FTA released a guidebook describing how to implement a transit SMS (Ahmed 2011). The guidebook is an excellent source of informa- tion for public transit agencies interested in adopting a transit SMS including information regarding safety performance measurement. Many safety systems include a program for rewarding safe work practices as a means to encour- age safe behavior. Behavior-based safety (BBS) programs focus on the interaction between people and their working environment. There are functional variations of these programs with the most common using members to monitor the behavior of a workgroup and managers to monitor their own safety-related leadership behavior. The most common employee protocol involves peer obser- vation with on-the-spot feedback. However, there are reports of self-observation approaches where single operators perform their own checklists. The data is compiled over a number of self- observations and the results are used to inform training needs and other remedial action (Cooper, 2007). Self-observations are most appropriate for transit operators. However, there is no empiri- cal data to support the efficacy of the self-observation approach. Cooper (2007) presents the IDEAL components of a BBS program. They include the following: � Identify unsafe behaviors � Develop appropriate observation lists � Educate everyone and train observers � Assess ongoing safety behaviors � Limitless feedback

Understanding Rules Noncompliance 19 A safety reporting system, such as those in aviation and the railroad industry, is a proactive element of any safety system. Formalizing the safety system within an organization by means of the aforementioned elements provides protective barriers against unexpected occurrences related to safety-related rule noncompliance. These systems are reviewed in Appendix C. Work Pressure Safety-critical service industries such as public transportation must effectively balance the need for on-time performance with the need to perform safely. Assessing the tension between these two often competing goals provides a way to determine if the effects of top-level manage- ment commitment have "trickled down" to the supervisory and employee level. Sometimes supervisors and top-level management establish safety goals without consulting the workforce to determine if the goals are practical and attainable. When safety and performance compete at the level of the operator, supervisors may choose to look the other way when safety violations occur to maintain on-time performance or keep equipment in service. This in turn sends the message to employees that safety is not truly valued and sacrificing safe operations to stay on schedule is acceptable. Procedures and Rules While not traditionally part of most formal safety culture and climate assessments, the per- ceptions of and attitudes toward safety rules and procedures provide an indicator of whether or not individuals within an organization accept and value them. Rules and procedural adherence can be improved when management partners with labor to create safety rules and procedures. In essence, this process empowers individuals by giving them input to the safety system. Labor feels management respects their opinions as expert operators and they feel ownership of the rules and policies. Therefore, employees are more likely to comply. The rules and procedures in a truly resilient organization empower the employees to deal with unanticipated events. From a behavioral economics perspective, Battmann and Klumb (1993) suggested that procedural and rules violations originate primarily from the following: � Unclear or conflicting rules or constraints � Delayed, ambiguous, or missing feedback � Absence of clear priority rules in cases of conflicts between high-level and low-level safety commitments Dekker (2003) comments that operators fail to adapt procedures when adapting is necessary, or alternatively they attempt procedural adaptations that ultimately prove futile. To improve rules compliance, organizations should avoid increasing pressure to comply. Rather, they should invest in their understanding of the gap between procedures and practice, and help develop operators' skill at adapting. Employees There are many factors related to the workforce that provide an indicator of safety culture and climate including employee competence, safety training, safety attitudes and risk-taking behavior, and job satisfaction and security. Organizations committed to safety adhere to rigorous screen- ing procedures when hiring to ensure that their employees have the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their jobs. They provide exemplary training to ensure the workforce understands how to operate under both typical and atypical operating circumstances. They train the workforce to recover from unexpected occurrences as well. Finally, employees are more likely

20 Improving Safety-Related Rules Compliance in the Public Transportation Industry to be committed to their organization's safety goals if they are satisfied with and feel secure in their jobs. Genuine management commitment to the employee fosters employee commitment to the organization. Summary Points � There must be a top-level management commitment to safety that permeates the public transit agency from the top level all the way down to the employees. � Safety reporting systems, hazard analyses, and safety management systems are all effective ways to improve a public transit agency's safety culture thereby improving rules compliance. � Safety must be a higher priority than on-time performance at all levels of a public transit agency. � The safety-related rule-making process must involve the employees who are required to follow the rules. � Safety-related rules must be clear, concise, and easily understood by employees. � Genuine management commitment to the employee fosters employee commitment to the public transit agency.

Beautiful property! We enjoyed making home cooked meals and family time. I would agree with a bigger coffee maker and we had no working wifi the whole week Should also suggest leaving another pack or two of detergent. All in all, this place worked well for us! We really enjoyed Jackson Hole and it's surroundings.
This was our 3rd time to Jackson Hole and our 1st time staying at this location. Before we stayed at Amangani and Spring Creek Ranch. This location was just as good and the views were wonderful. It's only a short 5 to 10 mins to town depending on traffic and conditions. Close enough to great restaurants and grocery store. The property is unbelievable plenty of room to take a nice walk and the scenery is breath taking. If you want some really good pics wait til sunset and just walk around the property you'll get some really good afternoon shots of the mountains. The guest house was perfect for the 3 of us. The beds were comfortable and even though it is relatively close to the main house it was very peaceful and quiet. The owners were very nice and made us feel at home. The only complaint I would have would be the position of the TV. Now I know that for most people on vacation TV placement isn't a big deal and generally for us it isn't either but this happen to be Super Bowl weekend (we found out a lot of Jackson Hole shuts down for the game) so the location of the TV wasn't the best for watching the game. Would recommend mounting the TV above the fireplace. Again it wasn't that big of a deal. Everything else from the kitchen to bedrooms you couldn't ask for better. Would highly recommend this location any time of the year. Oh yes the 2 white dogs were very friendly and great walking partners.
I cannot give the Trout Fin Lodge a higher recommendation! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this little slice of heaven! The Trout Fin Lodge offered us a quiet place to relax with surprising privacy. The Trout Fin Lodge was less than a 5 minute drive to the Jackson Town Square where all of the great restaurants, shopping and nightlife are located. We had easy access to the Grand Teton National Park, the Bridger-Teton National Forest. The owners of the Trout Fin Lodge were awesome, they greeted us and explained the Property. Our morning walks included Elk in the fields across the road, a view of the Cathedral Group of the Tetons as we walked down the road! This place is perfect for couples, families with teenage or older kids. The Trout Fin Lodge is a terrific place to stay and rest after a long day of hiking and/or sightseeing.
For a couple in their mid 50s...This guest house met our needs and was better than staying in a crowded Condo. The landscaping is beautiful but be warned if you wander outside for a sunrise photo you will be met with an automatic watering system every where you turn (late May). I didn't tell my husband and when he went out at sunrise to load our car to leave ...he was sprayed as they came on...he backed the car up for me to get in Keep your windows up LOL. I photographed a Evening Gross Beak Bird from the porch one late after noon while My husband was napping....I didn't realize the patio/deck door would lock me out and I had to tap the bedroom window and wake him up to let me in. oops. I was disappointed that the guest house is very close to the double garage doors of the owners house...I thought the rental was on it's own property in a private setting. The owners have 2 big young white dogs now and installed an invisible dog fence to keep them away from the guest house...They are being trained not to jump on you. They were friendly Dogs. Internet worked fine, we did not watch TV or build a fireplace we were too busy all day and went right to bed when we got home. There was a welcome wine bottle on the table but since we don't drink we left it for the next guest. The heat vent under the kitchen cabinet was not turning off properly and the house was way to hot so we shut the circuit breaker off and did not miss the heat in late May Lucky for us the owner had a complete house guide folder for this info. All houses have there issues now and then...the owner was going to look at it after we left.
Beautiful setting, great accommodations for a family. Two good sized bedrooms at opposite ends of the house so everyone had privacy. 1 bathroom but good sized so no issues w/ our 2 teenagers. Kitchen was good for a family of 4 or even more. Beautiful and relaxing back yard with a small creek running through. Immaculate landscaping. Close to town, yet just far enough away. So glad we found this property. Would stay again and recommend it to anyone. Much better than a cramped condo.
This is an exceptional place! Situated in a lovely setting, from the far-off mountian views to the immaculate landscaping and beautiful sculptures around the property. You will have big plans for exploring Jackson Hole and the Tetons, but you just may opt to chuck the plans, grill some steaks and just be (we did!). You can not help but be tranquil in this idyllic setting; the sound of the gently flowing streams, the beautiful art in unexpected places, and the flowers and trees swaying in the breeze. The little house itself is lovely as well and comfortable, but you will be drawn outside mostly. We hope to stay here again and again--as often as we can from Georgia!
The part of our stay in Jackson, WY was absolutely better than we could have ever expected at this place!! Pictures don't do it justice....it is just the best cozy, well appointed, professionally decorated, peaceful little cottage in a very beucolic area just minutes from all of the activities in every direction. The natural beauty of the mountains in the distance is just amazing and the firepit in the backyard is perfect for roasting marhmellows right near one of the two trout streams, no matter what time of the year you visit. We visited in August and this was one of our familiy's best nights! Located between downtown Jackson and the ski village, we were able to do it all within 5-8 minutes from the front door without the crowds. We fell in love with the place and hope to visit this little piece of heaven again. Even our teenage girls thought it was "really cool!"

The six years since then have seen the total number of detainees rise to more than 750—some as young as ten years old, and others as old as eighty—and Guantánamo become a Kafkaesque symbol of the U.S. government's deeply flawed "war on terror," a place where the rule of law does not apply.

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 1993
Nebbiolo from Piedmont, Italy
Winemaker's Notes
Barolo Cannubi Boschis is the Sandrone flagship wine, and the wine that garnered Luciano his early acclaim with international trade and press. This single-vineyard wine is typically dense and concentrated, but shows incredible harmony and balance. The medium-weight structure shows delightful and seductive notes of berries and cherries, with floral and mineral aspects. The finish is sweet and broad, with moderate, ripe tannins and long length.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Sandrone has been performing at a superstar level since the 1982 vintage, but in 1993 he has significantly more competition from - his best friends. Nevertheless, his 1993s are near the top of the qualitative pyramid for the 1993 vintage. The dark ruby-colored 1993 Barolo Cannubi Boschis is reserved, but it reveals a sweet, elegant nose of roasted meats and nuts intermixed with scents of underbrush and black fruits. As the wine sits in the glass, notes of melted tar and rose petals emerge. More firmly structured than many 1993s, it is full-bodied, with considerable character, outstanding concentration, and an expansive inner-core of sweet fruit."
Luciano Sandrone Winery
The story of Luciano Sandrone can be told in just a few words. Years of hard work as a cellarman, the purchase of his first vineyard on Cannubi hill, the first acknowledgements and then excellence.
The first harvest took place in 1978: since then the attention of Luciano and his brother Luca has been devoted entirely to the vineyards, fully aware that only perfectly selected grapes can be used to create a wine which lives up to the well-deserved fame that Sandrone enjoys all over the world. The new premises, built in 1998 at the feet of Cannubi hill, in the heart of the Barolo district, are characterised by attention to detail and rationality. The vinification process, while respecting tradition, reflects the desire for innovation that has always distinguished Luciano's work. View all Luciano Sandrone Wines
About PiedmontView a map of Piedmont wineries (PEED-mont)
Notable FactsNot just regulated to red wine, Piedmont also produces some notable whites, particularly those near the district of Gavi and Asti. Gavi produces still white wine from the Cortese grape. The wine is dry with a crisp, citrus-like acidity – fairly neutral but pleasant. Arneis is another grape/wine made in the area, creating a fuller wine that displays some nuttiness in the aroma and taste. Asti is well known for its sparkling wine – in particular Asti Spumante and Moscato d'Asti. Asti Spumante is typically higher in alcohol, sweetness & fizziness, while its higher-class cousin, Mostcato d'Asti, contains lower alcohol levels, a few less bubbles, and a more restrained and delicate representation of Moscato fruit.
About Italy
A little ditty about Italy...This country has about as many wines as its had governments. With 20 different regions, hundreds of DOCs and even more indigenous varieties, the amount of wine made in Italy is mind-boggling. Most of the juice, however, remains in the country for thirsty Italians. Wine is food in Italy and its rare that a meal is consumed without a glass of vino. That said, it's not common to find many folks drinking wine without food either. In turn, it's a match, and a mighty good one at that. In fact, it's safe to say that Italian wine is a foodie wine – one that goes on the table for a myraid of meals.
For regions, the most popular are Tuscany (home of Chianti), Piedmont and the Tre-Venezie, which includes Veneto, Trentino Alto-Adige and Friuli. Other communes of note are in Southern Italy, and a few good wines are made elsewhere in the country. The islands of Sardinia and Sicily are members of the Italian winemaking community as well.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Going up and down like that angel on that Rolls. Lord Knows!
from Meek Mill (Ft. Louie V) – Rich & Famous Lyrics on Genius
He uses this simile to describe the way the stripper is dancing on the pole (Up & Down).
The angel emblem on the front of a Rolls Royce mechanically moves up when you turn the car on and when the car is turned off, the angel emblem descends back into the car.
