Re: The generation that the doctors betrayed
I was born in June of 67....The Summer of Love, baby!....and I don't like my veggies not because I wasn't given them but because I was forced to eat them. At every dinner we had to have at least a " no thank you helping" of everything that was on the table, especially veggies. You didn't get up from the table until you did. Becoming an adult was glorious for me because it meant I'd never have to eat another Brussels sprout again! And I won't...
I think every generation has something detrimental but hopefully the scientific advances outweigh the bad. I'm fascinated by anything space related....I grew up watching the shuttles and seeing man living in space on the space station. I feel sorry for our generations today who are missing out on such things because space exploration isn't deemed important enough. And think of the health advances we are missing out on of because of it.
It's always something. But I wouldn't change being born in this time. Look at what our generation has witnessed. Where we've come in the last 40 years has been amazing!
I am deluded enough to think I can bring something to the table - Huey Lewis.

A variety of community and diversity issues, including race, gender, ethnicity and non-Western culture are being explored on campus during Cultural Harmony Week, Oct. 22-30.
This year's theme, "The 'UN' Speakable," examines topics in society that impact social and communication skills, including jokes, civil discourse, cultural permission and media influences. Programming in and out of the classroom deepens students' understanding and awareness of important aspects of human behavior and social organization.
On Oct. 25, keynote speaker Teja Arboleda (pictured) discussed "Crossing the Line: Comedians, Politicians and Shock Jocks." A television producer, director and writer, Arboleda often digs into issues of freedom of speech. Other activities include a Wall of Words in Milne Library and in the College Union, on which members of the campus community can share thoughts and beliefs. There are also lectures and discussions, competitions, food tastings, film screenings and more.

RC10B5M Team Kit
RC10B5M Team Kit
1:10 scale 2WD off road has been Team Associated's signature racing class since the release of the original RC10 in 1984. The Team Associated RC10 buggy series has won eleven I.F.M.A.R. World Championships since the class began in 1985.
Use the right tool for the job.
The engineers in Team Associated's Area 51 designed the RC10B5M to specifically address the demands of racing on high-speed, high-grip tracks where the mid-motor chassis is at its best. The new suspension and chassis adjustments allow the platform to be tuned for both dirt and multi-surface while maintaining the forgiving driving style racers have become accustomed to with Team Associated vehicles.
No-compromise design.
The RC10B5M Team Kit utilizes a dedicated mid-motor chassis configuration, but still shares nearly 90% of the same parts as the rear-motor B5 Team Kit. The aluminum, hard-anodized chassis, gull wing front suspension arm geometry, Factory Team V2 threaded shocks, and Factory Team VTS slipper clutch are all standard features and give the RC10B5M the ultimate in performance.
Making the best even better.
The RC10B5M has all the makings of a champion, and with the proven performance from Team Associated, you're assured of support no matter where you go. If high-speed, high-grip tracks are your game, the B5M has what it takes to give you the winning advantage.
Both the B5 and B5M won the 2014 RC Car Action Readers' Choice for Electric Buggy and Editors' Choice for Car of the Year!

Perioperative Systemic Magnesium to Minimize Postoperative Pain: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials, by Gildasio S. De Oliveira, Jr., M.D., M.S.C.I., Lucas J. Castro-Alves, M.D., Jamil H. Khan, B.S., and Robert J. McCarthy, Pharm.D.
This article is accompanied by an Editorial View.
Magnesium: Is There a Signal in the Noise? by Ramana Naidu, M.D., and Pamela Flood, M.D.
Summary: Previous clinical studies have shown conflicting results regarding the use of perioperative systemic magnesium to minimize postoperative pain. The authors of this month's CME article sought to bring clarity to the subject via a meta-analysis that included data from more than 1,200 patients. They found that systemically administered magnesium decreased postoperative pain a small, statistically significant amount and that morphine use was reduced. These results indicate magnesium has some utility as an analgesic adjunct after surgery.
The focus of ANESTHESIOLOGY Journal CME is to educate readers on current developments in the science and clinical practice of anesthesiology.
Learning Objectives:
After completing this activity, the learner will be able to:
- Discuss the properties of intracellular magnesium

The beauty of Kyoto is far different from that of a city like Paris or Florence, where the cityscape itself is a work of art. Unlike these cities, much of Kyoto's true beauty lies hidden behind temple gates, garden walls, sliding paper screens and even behind the tatemae (public facades) of its residents.
But once you start discovering its hidden sanctuaries, you'll begin to grasp the secret of Kyoto: seduction is nine parts concealing and one part revealing. Few foreigners equate Japan with romance, but Kyoto is truly one of the world's great romantic cities.
You can stroll beside lamp-lit canals lined with traditional wooden buildings, dine in private tatami rooms while gazing over miniature gardens, share a bath in a wooden tub at an old ryokan (traditional Japanese inn) and learn why the yukata (cotton robe worn in a ryokan) is the true garment of romance.

In Rhino 4.0 Essential Training, author Dave Schultze shows how the 3D NURBS-based modeling tools in Rhino 4.0 are used to engineer products from toy robots to full-sized aircraft. This course concentrates on using Rhino 4.0 for industrial design and rapid prototyping, with a review of common 3D terminology using specific examples. Along with a comprehensive exploration of the Rhino interface, the course includes an introduction to building 3D objects with Rhino's three primary entities: the curve, the surface, and the solid. Exercise files are included with the course.
In this movie, we'll review two commands that are probably the easiest to use in Rhino, the Undo and its exact opposite, the Redo. These will work equally well on any command like Extrude, a transformation like Move, and even deleting objects or changing layers. As you can correctly assume from other software, the Undo command goes backwards in time, and the Redo goes forward in time, although of course it cannot go into the future. In that sense, it's probably better described as a way to undo the last undo. Before I start the demo, let's check some options which you might not think about.
I'm going to go to the gear here to access the options. Under Rhino Options > General, we've got the default set to only 1 as the minimum number. Of course, this can vary depending on the file size and the amount of memory you have in your computer. But in any regard, one is too low. Let's just go ahead and type 20 as a bare minimum, and that should be fine. So, if you're ever run into problems, this is the first place to check if you're finding yourself unable to go back more than a few steps. I'm going to demonstrate some of the Undos and Redos by just moving the arm around, but as I said earlier, it works equally well on building geometry or editing geometry.
So, I'm going to go ahead and just move it a couple of different times. Now if it's too far, I can go backwards. Ctrl+Z is the shortcut for Undo, and each time I press it, it reverses backwards in history. Now I can hit Ctrl+Y if I want to undo that undo. A word of warning though. This Undo and Redo does not carry over after you've closed the Rhino session.
Also, I don't recommend that you use the Undo or Redo to go way, way back to a much earlier version, like let's say 30, 40, 50 steps. In those situations, what I recommend doing instead, just make a copy of the geometry and place it on a layer that is turned off for future retrieval. So, let's do that now. I'm going to select the arm and do a quick Ctrl+C to copy, Ctrl+V to paste. There is now two on top of each other. I've already created the storage layer. You'll notice this is turned off. So, I'm going to right-click on that layer name and just change it.
So, we now have one copy here on the current geometry layer, and a second backup on the storage layer. So, let's proceed to do some edits. Let's say I worked on it for quite a while, and I've changed my mind. That is no longer what I want. So, going back 50 steps would take actually a lot of time. So, in those situations I recommend just select the object, deleting it. Let's turn the storage layer back on. There is the original in its original position. So, you can just make another copy, paste it back to the current work layer, geometry, and then turn the storage back off.
Probably an even better tip, if you're going to do extensive design explorations, is to be saving the file on a regular basis with a new name. So, you do that by Save As. What I'd used to recommend is you would save it as robot10, then robot11. That's unnecessary now. With the Incremental Save feature, it'll do automatically, adding numbers and indexing them each time you use this command. My suggestion is to do it every 30 minutes. So, no matter what happens, you've only lost at most 29 minutes of work.
3D modeling is all about using digital tools to explore new directions and experiment to get the best results. Part of that experimentation is two- fold, to build the comfort level with the software, but also knowing that anything you do can be reversed. So, the use of the Undo and the Redo helps build that comfort level.

"I wanted the card that said Joy & Cheer, but could only make New Year Cheer come up. That was fine and we love the card."
"From customizing, to ordering to receipt of product, this was a great experience. Customer service happily helped me with an order issue and the final product was such exceptional quality that I was proud to send them to my friends and family. Will place orders again in the future."
"The colors, quality and design were exceptional. We had an image that was perfect for this card and at least 10 family members pulled me aside to tell me it was the most gorgeous card they had received."
"Everyone that I sent a card to loved them and the wording on the card is simple yet catchy. The photo quality looked just like it did on my computer during the editing process. I ordered the double matte which made the card extra thick and awesome but that option turned out to be pretty pricey when all said and done. Will order again from tiny prints."
"I was very happy with the way my cards came out. Tiny Prints did a great job getting my cards to me just a couple of days after I ordered them. I will definitely be ordering any future cards from Tiny Prints."

It reminds me of my first apt. in the Quarter. Pirates' Alley, 4th floor walkup, exposed beams, wide plank floors. There was even a little bar/cafe downstairs for my convenience. The view from the fire escape made up for the broiling summers and cold winters.
It was idyllic. Then Gennifer Flowers's (now ex) husband bought it and ruined everything. Fucking white trash.

The School has been designated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as a National Center for Public Health Preparedness, charged with providing bioterrorism defense training to public health practitioners at many levels, including students, public health workers, local and state health officers and staff, and health care providers. The preparedness effort, led by principal investigator Deborah Prothrow-Stith and Leonard Marcus of the School's Division of Public Health Practice, is based on a successful campaign to train public health workers in violence prevention. Indeed, many across the School felt an immediate impulse to lend their skills to national defense after Sept. 11 but in fact much of their work was already relevant to the cause in a number of discrete areas.
After initially diving into student psychological needs and disaster response at the University level, where she chairs the Harvard University Student Health Consulting Board, Leaning found herself in January on a mission to Afghanistan with Physicians for Human Rights inspecting Afghan prisons where Taliban fighters were held. The group documented appalling health conditions and returned to the US to brief Washington officials and the press on the situation.
Returning to the School, she quickly pulled together a short course on bioterrorism for the "C period" in February, co-taught with Jonathan Burstein, an emergency department physician and assistant professor at Harvard Medical School, who is also director of disaster medicine at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. Faculty colleagues jumped to participate, including Andrew Spielman, Richard Pollack, Sam Telford, Thomas Bossert, Donald Milton, and Jack Spengler, as well as Anita Barry, director of communicable disease control in the Boston Public Health Service, and Richard Platt, professor of ambulatory care and prevention at Harvard Medical School. In addition to topics such as disaster planning, Leaning and her students examined the psychological and legal dimensions of terrorist attacks such as "problems of warning" and "deploying public health in a more muscular legal mode to protect health--ordering populations to evacuate or into quarantine," she says. Leaning explains that an early warning of a bioterrorism incident would be of little use if populations haven't been adequately prepared to understand and accept relocation.
The talk included a description of the concept of "mental modeling," a scientific approach developed at Carnegie Mellon University to identify which risk communication messages will work best. The lecture also described the literature on risk perception, research that has identified the psychological roots of how people subconsciously "decide" what to be afraid of and how afraid to be. "Understanding why people are afraid allows the communicator to respect those fears and speak in terms that are relevant to the audience, increasing the likelihood that the message will be received, not rejected," notes Ropeik.
"The Risk Communication Challenge is particularly relevant and useful to the nation at this point in time," says the Center's Acting Director George Gray. "We wanted to help and thought that this outreach might be valuable. We were honored to have a chance to make a contribution."
Public Fears
In a late spring poll, Blendon probed the public's knowledge of smallpox and feelings about preventive vaccination. Funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, the survey found that, as federal government advisory committees debated the need for voluntary smallpox vaccination, three in five Americans said they would get vaccinated even though no smallpox cases had been reported. More than three-fourths said they would get vaccinated if cases of smallpox were reported in their own community.
the Government
The recent epidemic of foot and mouth disease among livestock in England demonstrated the crucial role of transit, notes Spielman. "If they had stopped movement of potentially affected animals early enough, there would have been a substantial savings. Human movement is how any release will find its way into the more general population." Nearly four million animals in the UK were destroyed as a result of the epidemic at the cost of anywhere from £800 million to £2.4 billion to the farming industry alone. It is estimated that the number of cases could have been halved if a ban on livestock movements had been introduced just days earlier.
Volpe Center researchers heard from School faculty about four threat types: airborne non-communicable threats such as anthrax, tularemia, and viral hemorrhagic fevers; airborne communicable threats such as smallpox, plague, and bioengineered influenza; vector-borne threats (i.e., by mosquitoes and rodents) such as encephalitis viruses, typhus, and yellow fever; and agro-terrorism such as foot and mouth disease, anthrax, and potato blight. School researchers have had recent, local experience investigating eastern equine encephalitis outbreaks in western Massachusetts and tularemia among gardeners on Martha's Vineyard, which was eventually traced to rabbits there.
Milton and colleagues are modeling modes of transmission--considering different space and time factors--for biological agents. Wind patterns in cities, for example, would make it difficult for a bio- logical agent to be effective in an open-air release. But closed spaces in buildings and transport systems can be exploited. Fortunately, the Department of Environmental Health was already deeply committed to the study of indoor air quality, detection devices for contaminants, novel "air hygiene" techniques, and creating more effective ventilation systems--in response to the growing asthma epidemic in this country. Asthma will remain the main target of researchers such as Milton, even while they study transmission models for bioterrorism.
Another part of the Volpe Center assignment challenges researchers at the School to imagine the most dire scenarios of how a lethal attack might unfold. "They're looking to us as out-of-the-box thinkers," says Leaning, a member of the delegation that briefed the center. "We have to run public health in reverse--going from what could be the worst ways of affecting populations through perturbations and perverse distortions of the transportation system. They rely on our expertise of what 'awful' is, and then we go upstream to say how could you create it in the smartest way."
the power of numbers
This work represents an important advance in using clinical information in real time, establishing new statistical methods to understand this information, and creating links between hospitals and public health authorities--a welcome change. Surveillance systems for public health have never received much financial support but may have more cachet in the post-Sept. 11 era, Pagano observes. "Surveillance is sort of like insurance," he says. "You don't realize how valuable it is until you have the misfortune of having to use it. Look at places that don't have surveillance--you have horrible outbreaks, and you have no idea what's happening."
Students are also anxious about relocating after graduation into areas of the US, "where there may not be that much reception to people from Asia or the Middle East," Leaning says. "There is a vast swath of the world from where we have students and colleagues coming that is currently under very heavy and, I think, uneducated scrutiny in this country, and we as an educational institution are going to have to pay attention to this." On May 7, 2002, the Bush administration unveiled new regulations requiring screening by a special panel of intelligence and law enforcement representatives of visa applications from foreign students who want to do advanced work in sensitive subjects and technologies taught only at American universities or laboratories.
Yet, typically, HSPH students have responded constructively to a post-Sept. 11 world. They quickly organized fundraising efforts to aid survivors and families of victims. They have also launched research efforts around the attacks. Ashok Nimgade, a student in occupational health, worked with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health on a study evaluating physical and mental health problems of office workers near "ground zero" of the World Trade Center attacks. And K.A. Kelly McQueen has become one of the first two recipients of a new Nuclear Threat Initiative/AAAS fellowship in global security. She will spend the next year in Washington, D.C., where she intends to investigate how factors such as poverty, disease, and oppression might contribute to terrorism.

Twitter says no to auto follows, yes to curation
The microblogging site releases new developer rules for third-party services.
Twitter has updated its developer guidelines, killing off auto-follow features and loosening the reins on curation services.
That means developers of third-party applications won't be able to let users automatically follow someone who follows them or suggested follows. But Twitter is reducing its restrictions for services that gather and display tweets, like Storify. So curation is OK, as long as it's done manually.

Lose one tourist to a weekend like Halloween the city loses $1,500. Lose 100 = $150,000. Travel agencies and web sites are warning tourists of the dangers here. Local business is suffering big time.
But NOPD paychecks keep coming so who cares.
I heard that he walked over to Algiers the other day. Did not want to wait for the ferry.
So so common among these wackadoodle right wing christians. The sign carriers that we get to deal with in the coming days are drunks and homeless that are brought in and promised everything in the name of Jesus if they will do as told to do. This perp all but destroyed a 300 million dollar weekend that locals desperately needed since precious few tourists spend alot or tip well during the rest of the year.
Disturbing the peace. Disrupting the flow of foot traffic, street traffic and/or entry or exit into a business.
Any other city would file a restraining order to keep those who purposely disrupt an event out of the area.
As talk of similar events in neighboring states grows, it will be NOLA's financial loss if this event loses the tourist trade.
Can't wait for the parades and costume comments on this one. Should add a little spice to MArdi Gras this year.
No surprises here...
Aaah the sound of gunshots. What would a daily stroll around town be without them???
HEard that the Los Angeles mayor said "LA is the safest its ever been since 1950'.
Maybe Ray can say the same and it all will be just fine.
Maybe she should name names. Release her little black book to the media.
Lot more fun than listening to constant republicrats...
See that Chicago is bumping property tax up to 7%.
With special assessments a $250,000 home would
be taxed at $20,000 per year.
Anyone here worried that our rates might go that high???

Angry Birds' temper eased by mass success
Avian-flinging app sensation Angry Birds has surpassed 50 million downloads across all mobile platforms, developer Rovio has revealed.
Talking with CNBC, the Finnish developer declared the staggering download figures that cross iPhone, iPad, Android and WebOS platforms. The app which cost a reported $100,000 to make and involves catapulting birds at a band of egg stealing pigs has become a global sensation in 2010 and was recently declared by Apple as the most popular iPhone download of the year.
With console and PC versions of Angry Birds currently in the works, Rovio revealed that it "hopes to spin the franchise into a movie or children's TV show."
Racking up an impressive 200 million minutes of gameplay every day, the equivalent of 16 human years every hour, Angry Birds has entered near cult status with a range of merchandise now available and even Angry Bird day celebrations taking place across the world.
Are you an Angry Birds fan or unfazed by the apps mounting dominance? Share your thoughts of the in-app bird flinger via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

(insert clichéd "tides have turned" line here) Nintendo has announced Virtual Console partnerships with twenty-four separate publishers, the full listing of which can be seen after the break. The big boys are all on-board: Square-Enix, Konami, Bandai-Namco. A few of the companies don't seem to have much of a legacy at all, however, which implies that they may be working on some smaller-scale original games for the VC service.
In addition, it appears that the Virtual Console will now be supporting the MSX (pictured above), an older arcade system. Iwata-san also expressed in interest to bring even more consoles to the Wii: we here at the Fanboy pray to the rings of Saturn.

Questions and Answers
Riverside Cooking with Clay Hayes of Backcountry Hunters and Anglers
Here's a very nice video created by Clay Hayes for Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. Clay goes out tenkara fishing and foraging in Idaho.
Tenkara with Hans Florine
Hans Florine is best known for his rock climbing career, which includes setting the record for the fastest ascent of El Capitan (climbing 3,000ft of vertical rock in 2 hours and 23 minutes…in a place most people take 3 days to climb).
Last year I got to meet Hans, someone who's greatly inspired my own interest in rock climbing. He was interested in teaching his young son how to fly-fish and realized tenkara would be a great tool for that. A couple of weeks ago he came to Boulder and we connected for a morning of fishing followed by an afternoon of rock climbing. Here's a short video I made of him talking about where tenkara fits in with his climbing lifestyle.
Tenkara with Mr. Yuzo Sebata, story via Storehouse
I'm testing out a new platform to continue "sharing the tenkara story". A friend of mind recently turned me on to Storehouse. Here's a short photo story with Mr. Yuzo Sebata. What do you think?

David Letterman got a tenkara rod
Ovis Podcast with Tom Rosenbauer
A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of visiting the Orvis headquarters in Vermont. It's always fun spending time with those guys and in that area. We got out and fished a couple of times, including floating the Battenkill river with Shawn Combs at the helm of his drift boat, and me swinging a big streamer on tenkara flies! Yes, you heard that right!!! With fish seemingly sleeping and little activity I put on a big bright gigantic streamer at the end of my line to see what would happen. The next day I sat down with Tom Rosenbauer to chat about tenkara and that experience.
You can listen to our conversation at the Orvis podcast here. The tenkara portion starts at 27:45
Orvis is now selling a tenkara kit with the Sato rod.
This was the second Orvis podcast on tenkara, you can listen to the first Orvis podcast on tenkara that Tom and I did here.
The Keeper now available!
Wohoo! The Keeper is finally here!
The Keeper™ is a tenkaraline holder solution designed to hold two tenkara lines, or tenkara line and tippet. It also features a small integrated fly box. That way a minimalist tenkara angler can grab his favorite tenkara rod, and a loaded Keeper and go fishing.
Learn more about The Keeper.
Thank you all very much for your patience as we faced a delay overcame some challenges in the initial run.
We are expanding: New Tenkara Dealers near you
It is time to put tenkara rods in the hands of more people, and to allow you to stop by your favorite shop and get the lines and flies you need as well as the full lineup of tenkara rods. We are expanding quickly into more stores and welcome several new tenkara dealers that just received their first shipment of Tenkara USA gear.
Tenkara USA products can now be found in over 80 stores around the country. This number will continue to grow and will include many outdoor sporting goods stores that so far do not carry any fly-fishing equipment.
Click here to find a dealer near you.
Have a favorite shop that doesn't currently carry Tenkara USA? Let us know, email us at email@example.com and we'll reach out to them.
Tenkara Magazine: digital version now available
It's been overdue for sometime, we know. But, I'm happy to announce we finally built up the functionality on our website for you to download the digital version of the Tenkara Magazine.
You can order the 2014 and the 2015 versions online. The 2015 is available in two electronic formats, one is the original layout of the magazine, the other is a narrow layout optimized for reading on a phone or tablet. Either costs $4.00 (print version is $9.00). The 2014 magazine is only available in one electronic format, the original layout, and costs $2.50.
Coming Soon: Tenkara USA Line & Fly Keeper
[UPDATE: Estimated availability now is April 15th. Pieces are on their way to our packaging facility and will be in stock soon!]
Since the beginning of tenkara, anglers have pondered how to best manage and store their line. There have been multiple solutions devised since then, and we thought we'd bring our insights into creating something we think will be useful to those taking up tenkara and even for the western fly anglers looking for a good way to store a couple of leaders and some flies.
Coming soon: "The Keeper" (April, 2015)
The Tenkara USA Line Keeper is line holder solution that also incorporates an integrated fly box. The Keeper is designed to hold two tenkara lines, or tenkara line and tippet. That way a minimalist tenkara angler can have the tenkara line, tippet and flies in a compact solution.
This tenkara line keeper features two patent-pending solutions. The first one is a completely unique line-catching mechanism. As you wind the line it gets automatically caught between two walls so that the line never "explodes" out of the spool, and you can stop winding it at any point rather than looking for a notch to stop.
Another one is a small compartment to hold between 6 and a dozen flies. It's not designed as a fly box replacement, but for a quick outing, or just in case you lose flies, these will always be there with you.
And, perhaps the best part, The Keeper is always smiling
Stay tuned for updates on its availability. Coming in early April 2015. Estimated price $12.
Fishing inspiration images
Sorry I have been very absent from posting recently. Right now I'm in the middle of a very large writing project that is consuming a lot of my time and just about all of my brain power. The business is keeping me very busy when not writing. And, when I can, I have been fishing to support the large writing project and future blog posts. But, those are just excuses! I thought you'd enjoy a few images we captured recently. Some tenkara inspiration in case you can't go fishing right now. I have been active on our Instagram page, so please follow that if you don't yet. More blog posts to come in the future, I promise.

Metro Express (Los Angeles County)
Metro Express Line 577 at Long Beach.
|Los Angeles County, California
|Service type
|bus service, bus rapid transit, express bus
|Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LACMTA)
Metro Express is an express bus service in Los Angeles County, California, operated by the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Buses are usually express for a portion of the route, then run either local or limited stop in other areas and are identified by numbers in the 400's going to and from downtown and 500's for suburb-to-suburb trips.
There are two routes which are identified as premium express lines: line 450 and 577. These two are the only routes that formerly used Metro's blue-painted buses (referred to by Metro as "Business Blue"). Note that the "X" suffix does not appear on the buses' headsigns. This service concept is planned to be expanded in the future. During the June 26, 2011 service changes, Line 450X was renumbered as Line 450 since it was modified to make local stops in Downtown San Pedro. There are also at least 13 routes traveling by their respective transitways (Harbor Transitway and El Monte Busway).
Metro charges one zone maximum for their express services. The zone is $0.75 ($0.60 senior/disabled) added to the base fare of $1.75 ($0.75 peak/$0.35 off-peak senior/disabled). Students with K-12 and College/Vocational passes, seniors, and the disabled with monthly passes are not required to pay the zone fees, but those with a Day, Weekly, or Monthly pass without a zone sticker are required to pay the zone fees.
The busiest Metro Express line is Line 460 (Downtown Los Angeles-Knott's Berry Farm-Disneyland Express); it has the highest passenger ridership for the Metro Express category and the most frequent service of the express lines. The line is popularly known in the Metro Bus system for its amusement theme parks service to Knott's Berry Farm in the city of Buena Park, California, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure Park located in Anaheim.
The Metro Silver Line runs on freeways and streets and also connects with various Metro Express lines at its stations. Although this is the case, the line is not considered a Metro Express line. The Silver Line belongs to the Metro Liner system (bus rapid transit).
During the October 2012 Westside/San Fernando Valley Service Council meeting, it was announced that Metro officials are currently proposing to operate a new premium Metro Express line, similar to lines 450 and 577. The new line is being proposed as Line 588.[1] Staff is proposing to begin operation of Line 588 in December 2014. The line would operate between Panorama City (Van Nuys Boulevard/Nordhoff Street) and Westwood (Westwood Boulevard and Wilshire Boulevard). The line was originally proposed to operate on weekdays and weekends with service throughout the entire day and would operate all the way to Metro's Culver City Station. Staff later removed this proposal and recommended to operate the proposed line only on weekdays during the peak period.

X Lines- Premium Express Routes[edit]
"X-lines" are Metro's premium express routes; they operate with minimal stops. Metro formerly labeled these lines with an "X" as Metro Express in the timetables. In the June 2011 service changes, Metro removed the "X" in the timetables and route number since the lines had new stops added.

Local/Express Routes[edit]
Metro considers the non "x-lines" to be Metro Local services and they operate in much the same way as the 300-series (3xx) lines. The main difference between the limited stop 300-series (3xx) and the express 400 (4xx) and 500-series (5xx) is that the express buses operate on freeways or a transitway on a portion of their trip. Most routes use buses painted in the poppy-orange Metro Local livery, in some cases, buses in the Metro Rapid livery find their way into service on these routes. Those buses are equipped with special transponders that cause traffic signals to favor the bus, which adds to the express nature of the buses.

910 - El Monte Station- Downtown Los Angeles- Harbor Gateway Transit Center[edit]
Line 910 connects El Monte Station and Harbor Gateway Transit Center through downtown LA, replacing the express and downtown portions of the 444, 446/447, 484 and 490.

A Northwest suburban high school is one of the first in the nation allowing parents to use mobile devices to track when and where their students have boarded and exited school buses.
It's an expansion of Stevenson High School's existing computerized bus pass system, which requires students to scan their ID cards before and after rides — something they've been doing for about two years.
Through the new MyFirstPass system, developed by the First Student bus company, parents can use cellphones, tablets or computers to determine what time their kids' cards were scanned. Until now, they've been able to do that only using computers.

2-ply snare head
I just got back from a jam session at the college with a bunch of great jazz students. Amongst the rest of the half-decent kit I was playing, was a snare with an excellent sound and feel. It was an old PDP snare (not sure what model) and it was a 13"x5". The reso head and wires were stock, and the batter head was an Evans G2(!) that looks like it has been used for at least 5 years solid. Basically, there was just NO coating on it at all - there was a super clean patch in the centre of the head that took about 11 inches of the drum's width, with just a few inches of coating around the edge. But it felt really, really good. It had great bounce, and an insane amount of ring (which I love), but it seemed so focused. It was weird, quite a sharp sound. It reminded me lots of Tony Williams snare sound, like the earlier stuff on Seven Steps, etc.
I'm just debating what factors in this drum's life have made it sound like it does...The 2-ply head? The worn-off coating? The small shell? I would also like to know that if I invest in a 13" snare, should I put an Emperor on it? I wonder if it will get me this sound? I just want that sound and feel...
Re: 2-ply snare head
Now, call me crazy, but please read what I have to say.
Being a freshman in high school, I am in my schools concert band as a percussionist. We have a piece of shit Mapex V series kit that has been torn to shreds. The snare sounds awful. We also own 2 other snares, a Pearl Masters Symphonic (eh, it sounds like crap, but its expensive) and a Ludwig Standard (cheap). Now, heres the thing. On the Pearl, there is a beat up Remo Ambassador on it and it sounds horrible. On the Ludwig, there is an Attack 2-ply medium head, and the snare sounds near perfect. It sounds so amazing, that at one point, I actually thought of buying that head. I would actually recommend buying it, because of how cheap it is. Try it!
Re: 2-ply snare head
I would highly recommend the controlled sound with reverse dot, it is single ply with the 5 mil dot in the middle and it is so perfect for many applications, give it a shot. I don't recommend 2 ply heads for snares at all after using the emperor x on a school snare hahaha
Re: 2-ply snare head
As i had stated in a previous post on snare heads, I found that the Evans ST Dry Coated snare head is probably the best snare head i have ever heard in my life. It has a nice tight crack and almost no overtone.
Now you've got to ask yourself a question, do you want a snare that sounds like a tight crack or do you want a snare that has some resonance and feel more like a field drum sound?
Re: 2-ply snare head
The music I'm playing is purely jazz. I have a CS Reverse Dot on my other snare and for jazz it just doesn't work, it's not responsive enough in it's feel in the centre. I want the opposite of a dry head, lots of ring, but very focused. I THINK 2-ply heads give you that...
Re: 2-ply snare head
If you don't want focus I definitely would not recommend a 2 ply, talky to harryconaway, he knows wonders about heads.
Re: 2-ply snare head
This is all subjective.
What you like is what you like. If there was one right sound there would be one head on the market.
The Evens G2 Coated are great heads. I love them on toms, I prefer the single ply coated Remo Ambassadors on my snares. But that is only my opinion, that just means the I like them, that is what sounds good to me for the styles of music I am playing.
There are no rules here, experiment and see what works for you and the style of music you are playing at the time.
