The U.S. commercial real estate market's recovery slowed in first quarter 2012. Most notable was the office market, which absorbed fewer than 1 million square feet, a far cry from the 8.6 million square feet averaged over the six previous quarters, according to investment management firm Jones Lang LaSalle.
With lower occupancy can come higher scrutiny of operating costs and, therefore, building managers need to focus on efficiency to retain current tenants and also to attract new ones.
Optimized costs for management and individual tenants can create a competitive sales and service edge that appeals to those looking to spend less.
An integrated people counting solution deployed throughout a building can increase its intelligence by improving utilization; helping systems and the environment constantly evolve to fluctuating occupancies; and lowering overhead costs through reduced energy usage and carbon footprints.
Workplace consulting groups, as well as facilities management and building services companies, assert that any people-counting technology used in buildings must be accurate, reliable, non-intrusive and capable of rapid deployment. A thermal imaging-based technology is well-suited to meet these standards plus has the added benefits of low power requirements and avoiding privacy issues that arise with video-based technologies.
Measure and Assess Utilization
The cost of managing a building can be measured by the cost per worker, per square foot. Reducing that cost, however, requires a more in-depth building analysis. Integrating a thermal imaging-based people counting system can evaluate an office building's utilization, for example, with a layered approach. Rather than apply sweeping changes to an entire building, the system intricately studies specific areas.
The analysis begins with the building as a whole, and the calculation of its utilization being the key to aligning operational efficiency with its actual usage.
Next, each floor is examined individually. The distribution of tenants is not always equal throughout a building – particularly those affected by the commercial real estate slump – so identifying floors not fully occupied creates a more specific map for optimization.
Finally, each floor can be assessed down to zone and even meeting room level. While learning the behavior and patterns of the building's occupants, the system determines how frequently – and hence, effectively – certain areas and facilities are used. Once analytics are compiled, it's time to implement changes.
'Sweating the Asset'
Strategic occupant distribution and, consequently, high degrees of utilization are key drivers to improving a building's operational success.
A thermal imaging-based people counting solution can deliver a combined understanding of overall capacity, down to specific zones and workspace levels – providing a complete picture of utilization. This vital information uncovers opportunities for departmental and tenant consolidations, relocations or the freeing up of idle space for other purposes, such as additional revenue generation.
Continued analysis enables management to redesign and "evolve" the building – and the newly designed building make-up can be redeployed to fit the current workforce.
Now that tenant arrangement is improved, management can address energy usage throughout the entire building.
Two Shades of Green
The second half of operational success is energy management. Everyone wants to be "green" – and save money – but effectively achieving that distinction can be difficult. It takes valuable resources to manually monitor a building's energy usage.
A thermal imaging-based people counting system, however, repurposes utilization analytics to streamline energy usage. Data gathered can be integrated into the overall building management or facilities management system to initiate potential changes in energy consumption.
More importantly, the non-intrusive, thermal imaging-based counters monitor the flow of workers through occupied areas to customize energy usage to suit their behavior.
But there's another kind of "green" that concerns all building managers and their tenants – money. Energy dollars saved with the help of a thermal-imaging based people counting system can make a building more attractive to potential tenants and can reinforce the loyalty of current occupants – which is critical support for customer acquisitions and retention in today's competitive commercial real estate environment.
The Stage is Set
When the initial overhaul is in place, a building's evolution has only just begun.
Sustaining optimized utilization requires constant analysis and ongoing evolution. Thermal people-counting systems learn new behaviors and continue pointing out improvement opportunities to drive achievement of your key milestones and metrics.
The condition of the commercial real estate market has not made anything easy – and building and facilities managers are looking for innovation to help overcome it. Thermal technology can be part of that innovation to make buildings smarter and save money.

Jan. 18, 1955 DARNELL 2,699,601
POSITIONING MEANS FOR FABRICATION OF JOINTEID CAULKED PIPE Filed March 13, 1950 HOWARD 0. DARNELL I Snventor BB 'M (lttor negs United States Patent Ofiice Patented Jan. 18, 1955 POSITIONING MEANS FOR FABRICATION OF JOINTED CAULKED PIPE Howard 0. Darnell, Seattle, Wash.
Application March 13, 1950, Serial No. 149,430
2 Claims. (Cl. 29287) This present invention consists of a plurality of rest or support members which are axially aligned on a work bench or plank and when so positioned provide a convenient means for holding joints of pipe in an aligned position so that caulking the joints of the same can be achieved with ease and certainty. To add to the general usefulness of the device, as a whole, the individual rest members are fashioned so as to be able to accommodate several different sizes of pipe.
Much sewer pipe and water pipe is made of cast iron sections, which are belled at one end for the reception of an abutting pipe, and the space around the end of the second pipe and inside the bell of the first pipe is caulked with lead, normally. In the past it has been common to put the pipe in place and to then caulk the joints. However, this method has proved to be a tedious, time-consuming operation. Too often the joints are difiicult of access due to framing of buildings or if the same are laid in a trench the caulking must be done in restricted quarters and one portion of the joint is normally hidden from view so that the certainty of having a completely caulked joint is always in doubt.
Through the use of this present equipment it is now possible to fabricate relatively large sections of such jointed pipe and produce, in effect, a single, long, fully caulked tube. By using a plurality of the rest members contemplated by this invention and having the members in axial alignment the workman is doing his work under most favorable conditions, where it is convenient. He is not crowded and he can revolve the work from time to time so as to make it most convenient for him and further it gives him an opportunity to fully inspect the full length of his annular caulked joint.
The principal object of this present invention therefore is to provide means whereby a plurality of cast-iron pipe sections can be held in axial alignment and the caulking done while the sections are thus positioned so that a long stretch of fully caulked tubing can be produced.
A further object of this invention is to provide means whereby the caulking of the annular joints of belled pipe can be achieved in the full view of the workman and under conditions propitious to maximum efliciency.
A further object of this invention is to provide means for aligning a plurality of pipe sections and to be able to rotate them as the caulking operation proceeds so that the entire joint can be fully inspected at its completion.
A further object of this invention is to provide in a simple, economical, easy-to-transport form means for aligning a plurality of pipe sections.
A further object of this invention is to provide that each of the rest elements is provided with means which will quickly adapt them to clamping on to the edge of a plank or work bench so that with the minimum of attention from the workman a plurality of such rest members can be accurately aligned and clamped in working position.
Further objects, advantages and capabilities will be apparent from the description and disclosure in the drawings, or may be comprehended or are inherent in the device.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the manner in which this invention is employed;
Figure 2 is a perspective view showing one of the individual rest units forming part of this equipment;
Figure 3 is a side elevation of the rest unit of Figure 2.
Referring more particularly to the disclosure in the drawings, the numeral 10 designates the body portion proper of a rest unit made after the teachings of this invention. This member is preferably formed of metal which may be fabricated in any preferred manner. A very satisfactory construction is to cast these units of some of the lighter metal alloys so that they will be light to carry about and still be sufficiently rigid to serve their intended purpose. Satisfactory units of this order have been burned out of plate stock with certain portions welded thereto and reinforced in parts to give the required thickness of metal. In the preferred embodiment of this invention the body portion is formed with a rest portion having a general V shape. However, it has been found best to employ, instead of a straight V, a configured V form in which parts of a circumference of a circle are employed to the end that the short sections of pipe can be more adequately supported. In the form shown in the drawings the lower portion which is just slightly less than a semi-circle and is indicated at 12 is of a size to form a snug, but not a tight fit, say on a two inch pipe. Immediately above this are two co-acting arcs as 14 which represent the circle of a next sized larger pipe, as for example, a three inch pipe. Disposed next above arcs 14 are two other co-acting arcs 16 which again are part of a circle such as will give a workable fit with the next size larger pipe for instance a four inch pipe. In each instance it has been found desirable that the bottom semicircle and the arcs 14 and 16 should not come quite up to a horizontal diameter for the various sizes. This is in the interest of providing an ample rest but one where there will be no diificulty in entering the pipe and little danger of the same becoming wedged into the rest portion. In all references the exact diameters used must be sufficient so that the outside diameter of the pipe will be somewhat exceeded and thus accommodate any rough surfaces such as is very common in cast-iron pipes. Any reasonable number of pipe sizes could .be accommodated by a single body 10. However, experience has proven that a limit of three is probably most satisfactory in that it keeps the unit relatively small and where it is necessary to employ much larger sizes then larger and heavier as well as bulkier units can be used, designed primarily for those larger sizes.
Disposed immediately below body 10 and spaced therefrom in parallel relationship is the clamping arm 18. It has been found most convenient normally to have the thickness of this member the same as that of body 10 and to have its vertical extent or depth adequate so that even though considerable pressure is applied to the clamp screw 20 it will not appreciably spring this arm. Arm 18 is connected to body 10 by a web portion 22 which normally should have a greater cross section than arm 18 as considerable strength is required of this member. This relationship is desirable in that arm 18 out to the point of screw 20 provides considerable leverage and if web 22 is not of adequate strength bending will occur at this point.
A locking screw 20 is provided in the same plane with the centers from which arcs 12, 14 and 16 are struck. This relationship is not essential but it has been found of considerable convenience in the alignment of a plurality of these rest members. Screw 20, which is threaded into arm 18 and acts as a set screw, is provided with a turning bar 24 which would normally be limited in extent r so that excessive pressure cannot be applied to screw 20 and thus possibly deform arm 18. These proportions are normally quite well established in mechanical design and have ben determined by experience and are generally used to the end that deformation of the associated parts will not be occasioned by improper application of effort.
It has been found that for all practical purposes adequate alignment of the various rest members can be achieved by fitting the same to a plank or bench top having a frontal edge that is straight. It then becomes necessary that the various rest members are disposed at right angle to this frontal edge or face and to this end orienting or positioning lugs 28 and 30 are formed as lateral extensions of body 10. These two members when viewed as in Figure 3 should form a single plane and this plane at right angles to the vertical plane of body 10. When so positioned it is believed it will be apparent that when a plurality of these units are employed, as is illustrated in Figure 1, that little skill will be required to accurately position the various rest members so that the pipe receiving arcs will be axially aligned.
Method of use In using this present invention it is customary to lay a number of lengths of pipe as P along the table top or single plank, if only one is used, and with the small ends of adjacent pipes seated in the bell portions 32 in about their final position. When the pipe is thus laid out it gives an immediate indication of the most efiFective placement of the various rest members. Considerable experience with these devices indicated that a preferred arrangement is to use two rest members for each length of pipe. This thus provides each section of pipe with a fixed axial position and permits the pipe to be rolled over without any buckling or displacement of a partially caulked joint. This rolling over of the pipe in the rest is a very important factor in the proper use of this equipment as it provides that the work is always in the most favorable position for the workman. It also insures that by turning the caulked sections entirely around their axis that a very convenient means is provided for a thorough inspection of the joint to determine that it is adequate. In the smaller sizes it has been found quite convenient to use a single plank as 34 as a base for securing the various rest members in position and this same unit can, in many cases, be very properly used as a means of carrying the assembled pipe to the place of use or for merely tipping the same over if the pipe is used in a trench for instance.
It is believed that it will be clearly apparent from the above description and the disclosure in the drawings that 'the invention comprehends a novel construction of positioning means for the fabrication of jointed caulked 1 e. p Having thus disclosed the invention, I claim:
1. Positioning means for fabrication of jointed caulked pipe such as sewer pipe, comprising: a portable plank. having a longitudinal straight side edge, a series of rest units mounted on said plank along said straight edge spaced apart one from another and including a pair o rest units positioned to support each of a plurality of. pipe sections; each rest unit having a body portion having an upwardly directed rest generally V-shaped in a plane at right angles to said straight edge, the walls of each rest being formed as segments of circumferences of a plurality of circles, the base supporting surface of each rest being slightly less than a hemi-circle and the opposed sides of each rest above said base together forming a plurality of supporting surfaces each slightly less than the lower half of an upright circle with an are at its base removed, said supporting surfaces being of increasing diameters from the bottom to the top of said rest; each rest unit having a clamping arm portion under said body portion disposed below said plank parallel to and spaced from the lower edge of said body portion; each rest unit having a web portion connecting the arm portion and the body portion and extending across the straight edge; each rest unit having a lug on each side of said web portion extending at right angles to said body portion and abutting said straight edge to orient the body portion relative the straight edge; and each rest unit having a threaded clamping member positioned in said arm portion pressing on the bottom of said plank and clamping said plank to said body portion.
2. Positioning means for fabrication of jointed caulked pipe such as sewer pipe, comprising: a supporting member including a board-like member having a longitudinal straight side edge, a series of at least three rest units mounted on said board-like member along said straight edge spaced apart one from another disposed to support a plurality of pipe sections; each rest unit having a body portion having an upwardly directed rest generally V-shaped in a plane at right angles to said straight edge, the opposing walls of each rest being formed with a plurality of concave portions, said concave portions on opposite walls being aligned on the same levels and the concave portions on each level being formed substantially as arcs of the same circle whereby a pipe having approximately the same diameter is closely supported by the rest; each rest unit having a clamping arm portion under said body portion disposed below said boardlike member; each rest unit having a web portion connecting the arm portion and the body portion and extending across the straight edge; each rest unit having a lug on each side of said web portion extending at right angles to said body portion and abutting said straight edge to orient the body portion relative the straight edge; and each rest unit having a threaded clamping member positioned in said arm portion pressing on the bottom of said board-like member and clamping it to said body portion.

Larry Duff, 56, and Jason Link, 22, both of 112 Blue Ridge Ave., Natrona, are accused in the death of Duff's brother, Ronald, 61.
The men are charged with third-degree murder, aggravated assault, neglect of a care-dependent person, and conspiracy. Tampering with evidence charges against both men have been withdrawn.
Both men, who are pleading not guilty, are in the Allegheny County Jail without bond awaiting trial.
At a preliminary hearing on Friday, Allegheny County Deputy District Attorney Mark V. Tranquilli said the men probably didn't intend for the victim to die. Investigators could not determine a single cause for Ronald Duff's death, but authorities say the evidence shows Ronald Duff died from cumulative abuse.
Attorneys for Link and Duff failed in their attempts to have the homicide charges be dismissed because a single cause wasn't identified.
Tranquilli said an autopsy revealed an already medically frail Ronald Duff, who largely used hand gestures to communicate after a stroke, had suffered dozen of injuries.
They including to an eye, broken ribs and bleeding on the brain. A county detective testified that Ronald Duff had been administered medicine before he began living in his brother's house, but none was found in the house after his death. He had high blood pressure, clogged heart arteries and fluid in his lungs.
In addition, the victim had lost more than 60 pounds during the six months in which he lived in the dilapidated Natrona house, where he largely stayed in a small, second living room.
Tranquilli said Duff weighed 178 pounds in April when released from Butler Memorial Hospital to stay in his brother's Natrona house, but weighed only 112 pounds when he died in mid-October.
Tranquilli said Larry Duff and Link admitted to spanking, slapping and punching Ronald Duff during the six months because he was often incontinent, exposed himself to Larry Duff's wife and three daughters, and was frequently unruly.
Family members told police they locked up food because Ronald would get up at night and eat a large amount of food.
Link allegedly told police that on the day before Ronald Duff died, Link handed him a bowl of bean soup, only to have the victim throw it at him.Police said Link admitted to punching Ronald Duff and that Larry Duff said he shoved the victim soon after.
Two county detectives said Larry Duff and Link changed their stories about how Ronald Duff died.
The men also said Link and Larry Duff's wife, Lisa, used a 3-foot-long, half-inch-square stick to punish the victim.
Tranquilli said the stick didn't cause serious injuries, but a lab is checking to determine whether Ronald Duff's blood or DNA is on it.Lisa Duff, 39, is facing separate charges of neglect of a care-dependent person, simple assault, and tampering with or fabricating physical evidence.
Her preliminary hearing is scheduled next week in Brackenridge.
After the hearing, the suspects' attorneys said they will likely ask the court to appoint an expert to review the autopsy to determine whether Ronald Duff died from his medical conditions, not abuse.
"The autopsy says many things, but not why he died," said Richard Narvin, Link's attorney. Trial will be scheduled at a later date.

B.J. Thomas
I was a huge Hank Williams fan as a child, so much so that my parents swear my first words were "round and round" as I pointed to the phonograph while "Your Cheatin' Heart" poured out of it. So as a teenager, I flipped the first time I heard B.J. Thomas's cover of Hank's "So Lonesome I Could Cry" coming out of my car radio. B.J. Thomas and the Triumphs were popular around Houston at the time (1966), but "Lonesome" rocketed the Rosenberg teen and Lamar Consolidated graduate straight to the big time. The album, originally released on Pasadena's tiny Pacemaker label, was picked up by New York's Scepter Records; the single eventually reached No. 8 on the Billboard chart, making Thomas an extremely hot property. By 1969, labelmate Dionne Warwick had introduced Burt Bacharach to Thomas, and they collaborated for the megahit "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head" for the Paul Newman/Robert Redford film Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. "Raindrops" was Thomas's first No. 1, but a rapid string of hits followed — most notably "Just Can't Help Believing," later covered by Elvis Presley. Leaving Scepter for ABC Records, Thomas scored a huge crossover hit in 1975 with "(Hey, Won't You Play) Another Somebody Done Somebody Wrong Song"; he was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry when he was only 30 years old. Living in Dallas these days, the five-time Grammy winner remains active, releasing Love to Burn in late 2007 and carving out a niche in the world of Christian music. He'll have his full band in tow for this one.

Pat Simmons, President-Elect & Internet Site Manager email@example.com, 585-0101 FOR FUN ! Love getting your monthly mani-pedi? What's not to love about relaxation and beautification, right? Well, that smell of relaxation could be the toxic smell of nail products carrying some serious health risks. Women of child-bearing age working in nail salons come into contact with toxic chemicals like phthalates, toluene, formaldehyde, acetone and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can spur occupational asthma and decrease attention and processing skills . Read all about it in "Glossed Over: Health Hazards Associated with Toxic Exposure in Nail Salons," produced by our Campaign for Safe Cosmetics partner Women's Voices for the Earth. It's an essential read for those who frequent nail salons, work in them and care deeply about supporting a safe and healthy workplace for all women. This article is from Women's Voices for the Earth. More information available at http://www.womenandenvironment.org/. MARCH IS WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH! Our Own Worst Enemy: Continued Resistance to Electing a Female President By Betsy Danforth I recently hosted a dinner party where a group of girlfriends got into a debate about whether or not Hillary Clinton could possibly be elected as our President. After one guest claimed she'd leave the country if Clinton became president, I got to thinking about the reality of Americans electing a female leader. I'd had the (obviously incorrect) notion that my friends were pretty much on the same page as I am politically. I'd previously believed that the idea of electing a woman as president or the question of whether or not the U.S. is "ready" for a woman president was something my enlightened friends would consider a mute point—of course they would all be ready and more than willing to vote for a woman. This is certainly a topic for interesting conversation, but would Americans in fact do it? Could we actually follow suit, and, like dozens and dozens of nations who have elected female leaders, chose someone who is the best possible candidate despite their gender? There can be no doubt that women are often judged by much tougher criteria than men in our society; we constantly critique women and are held up to an unrealistic set of standards which undoubtedly set us up for failure. The fundamental issue is that we women buy into this, too -- we clearly suffer from internalized misogyny. Truly liking and accepting ourselves is rarely an option, and we pay for this in every facet of our lives. No matter how liberal we consider ourselves to be, and whether or not we call ourselves feminists, we cannot escape the misogyny and sexism which plague the psyche of this country. We still view ourselves as "other," a perception that is extremely detrimental to our own progress. When researching "woman president" online, choices ran the gamut -- from "anti-Hillary" sites (about 8 million of those), to comedian Elayne Boosler's insightful piece, "Is America Ready for a Woman President? Go to Hell!" I felt a great sense of relief and hope when I came across a series of essays written by fifth graders from Sleepy Hollow, N.Y. in 1998, addressing this very question. These writings were my favorites -- out of the mouths of babes (both boys and girls, I might add) came the most enlightened and unbiased opinions of all. "Of course a woman should be president," they all believed, wasn't the Constitution (which they had obviously recently studied - something I'd recommend to the current administration and all voting adults) written to guarantee this? Simply stated, aren't women just as smart and talented as men, and isn't it just plain fair to let women in the presidential race? As fifth grader Emily states in her essay: "I think a woman can be President. Should gender matter? When I was in second grade, Mrs.Taverna had a poster up of all the Presidents. I studied it closely and noticed none of them were women. I was shocked! Usually you think people in elementary school just know ABC and 123, but I was different. If there are no women Presidents, doesn't that mean men have ruled and made decisions and told us what to do over the last two centuries? It kind of makes women feel like slaves if you really think about it. Is there a law saying men are always President? Just give women a chance to prove they can be President. The state wants fairness and I think that is fair." Elayne Boosler also clearly has a strong opinion about the question of women as presidents, noting that the number of times she has seen this question boggles her mind. She addresses the idea of people wanting to vote for a "regular guy" they'd feel comfortable joining at the bar for a beer, (a notion successfully created by Bush's publicity team which is, of course, absurd since as an extremely wealthy white male born into political royalty, he represents less than 1 percent of the nation's population): "I don't want a president I'd want to have a beer with. I want someone so busy, brilliant and sterling that I would be terrified to have a beer with her. I want her way too busy, and way too smart and serious for me. I want her having her beers with presidents, prime ministers, scientists, philosophers, and heads of state." The theme for National Women's History Month this year is "generations of women moving history forward." We need to move beyond this internalized misogyny in order to believe that we really can do any job, in order to believe that a woman can, in fact, be president. Though many of us would readily support a female candidate, many still struggle with the idea and worry that a vote for a woman is a "throw-away" vote. Even our young girls and boys believe in women, clearly we need to get beyond the gender issue and vote for the best candidate, realizing that she might actually look like us. Forget the absurd notion that we are not "ready" for a woman president (what does that mean, anyway?); stop discounting our female candidate and judging her by an impossible set of standards—let's get "ready" and offer our full support to qualified female candidates! I'm not endorsing Clinton, but simply suggesting that we try looking at her as a viable candidate, not as a woman candidate. Many Republicans are hoping that Clinton wins the democratic nomination believing she will be easy to defeat in the general election. Let's prove them wrong. As one blogger on the internet puts it: "…missing out on the talent of over half the population is a piss-poor use of resources…" Let's choose a President who represents us for a change, and join the generations of women who have truly moved history forward!

MV Harita Bauxite, a Handymax bulk carrier sank recently off Cape Bolinao with the loss of 14 of the 24 crew.
According to the Philippine's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council a distress rocket signal was sighted by the MV Jin Cheng on 18, February, 2013 in the vicinity of Cape Bolinao, Bolinao, Pangasinan. Ten crew members were subsequently rescued by Jin Cheng and later taken to shore by helicopter. Reportedly the Harita Bauxite had sunk following (unspecified) engine trouble.
In response The International Association of Dry Cargo Shipowners (Intercargo) has now called for an early casualty investigation following the tragic loss of the bulk carrier, and states as follows:
The Panama-registered, 1983-built handymax ship which was reportedly carrying a cargo of nickel ore from Obi, Indonesia to China, sank on the evening of 17 February after suffering engine failure, possibly during poor weather.
Although ten crew were rescued by a passing ship, 14 crew remain unaccounted for.
Secretary General of Intercargo, Rob Lomas said: "At this early stage, we cannot speculate about the cause of this sad incident but, the sudden loss of another bulk carrier in this region underlines the importance for the relevant authorities to quickly conduct their accident investigations so that the dry bulk sector can learn and apply any safety- related lessons from this tragedy, and help in future prevent this unnecessary loss of life".

American Bus Association (ABA) President/CEO Peter J. Pantuso released the statement below on the Safety Profile of the Motorcoach Industry:
"Each year, privately owned motorcoaches play a key role in our nation's passenger transportation system, accounting for over 762 million passenger trips. The 3,200 companies that make up an industry of small businesses form the backbone of a transportation network that provides essential mobility, economic and environmental solutions for millions of Americans.
Logging over 1.8 billion miles, today's motorcoach operators provide safe and efficient transportation as stated in published reports from the Fatal Accident Research Statistics (FARS) and reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and by third-party groups like the National Safety Council. An examination of the data for just intercity bus service reveals that over the last 10 years motorcoaches are the safest form of highway transportation.
While motorcoaches historically have been one of the safest forms of transportation, it is always a tragedy when accidents occur. In truth, fatal motorcoach accidents have been a rare occurrence over the past ten years, but one fatality is one too many.
The American Bus Association has worked with the U.S. Department of Transportation and lawmakers to enact legislation that aims to reduce bus accidents. We believe that through aggressive enforcement, driver training, advanced safety equipment and inspections, we can reduce the number of accidents.
ABA fully supports the 'Motorcoach Safety Action Plan,' put into place by the Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood. The Secretary's Plan takes a holistic approach to motorcoach safety, including more aggressive enforcement to get rogue operators off the road, providing educational outreach to enhance operator safety oversight, establishing new performance standards for motorcoach structures and component parts such as seatbelts and focusing on enhancing emerging technologies such as crash avoidance and event data recorder systems.
But existing and new regulatory and legislative mandates will not get bad operators off our nation's roads. When a documented history of safety mismanagement is identified, enforcement needs to be better coordinated with activities at the federal, state, and local levels. While ABA supports and embraces the enforcement efforts of the Federal Motor Carriers Safety Administration (FMCSA), and its leadership, more needs to be done to shut down unsafe bus operations.
In some cases 'more' means confiscating buses and closing down their facilities to keep unsafe operators from transporting passengers, not just a letter revoking operating authority. Following a review of fatal motorcoach accidents occurring from 1999-2009, more than 50 percent of the fatalities could have been prevented if the operators involved had not been allowed to operate. Many of the carriers involved in those tragic accidents had serious safety violations that should have placed them permanently out of service.
The U.S. Department of Transportation has found that only half the States had any commercial motor vehicle (CMV) inspection program comparable to, or as effective as, the federal inspection requirements (63 Fed. Reg. 8516-8517, Feb. 19, 1998). Of that number, only half a dozen states have been determined to have a dedicated bus inspection program.
Moreover, between FY 2005 and FY 2009 there have been fewer than 200,000 combined bus vehicle and driver inspections for out-of-service violations annually, compared with over five million combined truck vehicle and driver inspections each year. That is, only one out of every twenty-five inspections involved a bus, the carrier of fifty-five passengers, and unfortunately many of those bus inspections were conducted on the same few large fleet operators.
We hope that in this era of tightening budgets, that the number of inspectors and state police available to enforce the existing rules for motor carriers is not reduced. ABA supports Secretary LaHood's call for increased federal funds for the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MSCAP) to help bolster enforcement at all levels. ABA would ask that at least 10 percent of those funds be made available for a certified motorcoach inspection program.
Motorcoach safety has and continues to be our industry's #1 priority."
The UMA is continuing its partnership with BusCon by sponsoring two informative sessions on the afternoon of Monday, Sept. 28 — Social Media Mastery for Motorcoach Operators and Alcohol - What is Your Liability? The show continues on Tuesday and Wednesday with even more educational sessions and the chance to check out BusCon's show floor

Peilin Liang told NBC News in a telephone interview that without his company's two previous gates at Boston's South Station, which the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority gave away to Megabus and the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, his company cannot financially stay afloat.
The review, which will be completed by early 2016, will examine motorcoach industry safety statistics and industry performance, including a comparison with other North American jurisdictions.
In May, the company shut down after the California Public Utilities Commission ordered the company to cease and desist. Some of its buses went up for auction.

Sam Gagner Asking For $5.5M In Arbitration

via TSN,
Edmonton Oilers forward Sam Gagner has asked for $5.5 million next season in arbitration.
Gagner, who is a restricted free agent, has an arbitration hearing scheduled for Monday.
Last season, Gagner scored 14 goals and added 24 assists for 38 points in 48 games.

Wow, 5.5 million for a Luke warm RFA. He doesn't lack for confidence, whether his skill matches his ego is another thing.
Posted by timbits on 07/20/13 at 12:38 PM ET
Rubbing the sand out of my eyes and it's still a 5.5, not 3.5
But…I assume that his agent figures is gambling that the 30% or so chance of the arb awarding this figure (which, btw, is $2MM above the 3.5 MM walk away point, so the Oilers could renounce rights if he was awarded 5.5) will be enough to lead to a last minute deal in the lower $4MM range. Maybe. Or possibly just delusional…wouldn't be the first.

Mona Lisa copy may have been painted by Leonardo da Vinci's lover
Last month, a copy of Leonardo's most famous painting rocked the art world with revelations about its provenance.
Two weeks after it went on show to the public at the Prado, the museum's conservation team believe they are closing in on a conclusion about the painting's authorship.
The most likely candidate is Gian Giacomo Caprotti, the apprentice known as "Salaì" - which translates as "Little Devil" - who went to work in Leonardo's workshop when he was ten years old.
Many historians believe, though it is not proven, that Salaì was Leonardo's lover. He is presumed to be the youthful model for Leonardo's paintings 'St. John the Baptist' and 'Bacchus', as well as numerous drawings....
