continued He added he also enjoys the classroom setting of the program, which has allowed him to focus on subjects outside of the everyday tasks in running an organization.
Laura Schweitzer, president of Union Graduate College, said she believed there was a need for the program in the area.
"I looked around the Capital Region to see what kind of leadership development was available for nonprofits … there was a lot, but it is very short term," Schweitzer said. "There is not anything that gives in-depth prolonged leadership development.
Schweitzer said she has sat in on some of the sessions and believes the program is progressing well, but since professors at the college aren't dealing with typical students it has had to be tweaked in some ways to better serve the leaders involved.
"The content has to be changed a bit in order to make it relevant to the nonprofit leader," she said.
She said although not-for-profits have a different mindset, many of the same business principals are still relevant.
Going forward, she said the college hopes to host the program every year and bring together a different group of people from a certain sector that would benefit by working in a collaborative nature.
"I have gotten calls from several philanthropists in bringing nonprofits together in their interest," she said.

Best Hair Straightner Ever!!!My hair is very curly, thick, long, and very difficult to manage....I tried the CHI and it worked a little. My hair would be okay for like an hour and then it would get frizzy...it was not pretty at all. I thought i would never find a straightner for my thick hair, until I finally went to a salon and the lady there told me about the BaByliss. She used it on my hair and my hair looked amazing AND it stayed super straight ALLLLLL day!!!!! I went on folica.com and bought it IMMEDIATELY! It has been worth every dime. My hair is shiny, straight, and slick! I get compliments ALL the time about how good it looks. I love the plates on the straightner because it runs right through your hair without pulling it, just a quick slide! It also takes me like 15 mins to do my hair instead of an Hour and a half that it took me with other straightners! I'm soooo happpy with my straightner and I recommended to ANYONE who has trouble straightning their hair and frizz!!!!!! =)Mar 19, 2010Jennifer

Want Shiny Hair? Buy This Straightener!!I bought the Babyliss about 3 months ago for my daughter. She is biracial and has very curly and wavy hair. This straightener is the best! It leaves her hair glossy, straight and just plain beautiful! And yes, there is no tugging at the hair either. My suggestion for people who claim that Babyliss has damaged their hair is that they are not taking the time to see which temperature works best for their hair type. TAKE YOUR TIME! You MUST start with the lowest setting and make your way up. I also have seen a marked improvement on the texture of my daughter's ends also. Since I only have to swipe it twice, at the most, it has contributed to keeping the integrity and overall health of her hair. We had a Sedu and loved it, but in less that two years it gave out. The Sedu did not give the same glossy result like the Babyliss. Buy it!!! You will NOT be disappointed!!!Mar 18, 2010Rkallio

This Straightener Is Awesome!!!I just got mine about 2 weeks ago... I went in to get my hair colored and she used it... Well I fell in love. It doesn't pull my hair like most straighteners and It keeps me frizz free even on humid days. Oh and my hair is SUPER THICK & SUPER CURLY... Now I do have to go over one section at least 2x but I've yet to find a straightener that I didn't have to. Anyway, I would definitely recommend it to anyoneFeb 12, 2010Alisha

Great IronI have 2 BaByliss irons and I've been very pleased with both. The 1 1/4 size is nice for medium length hair. This is a nice iron, but be careful to start out with the lowest setting first. I have thick coarse hair and went to the middle setting first, and it was a bit too hot. If you have fine hair, be careful because it heats up quickly and gets hot very fast. The only thing I'd give it less than 5 stars for is that the handle is very slippery. The iron can slide out of your hand if you don't keep a tight grip on it. I'd definitely recommend this to a friend.Feb 11, 2010Susan Saliga

VATICAN CITY (AP) -- Pope Benedict has remembered the victims of Iran's violent quake as well as those impacted by unusually heavy rains in the Philippines and China.
The pope in his traditional Sunday Angelus prayer on Sunday expressed solidarity with those suffering in the aftermaths of the "devastating calamities," which left many dead, injured and homeless.
Twin earthquakes Saturday in Iran killed over 250 people and left some 2,000 injured.
In the Philippines, the worst flooding since 2009 left at least 66 people dead this week while more than 440,000 fled to evacuation centers. And a typhoon slammed China's coast on Wednesday, washing out roads, knocking out power and disrupting transport in one of the nation's most populous regions.

I could not count the fingers on both hands the number of girls I've met in my life who, after ending a relationship with their beau, lament with all emotional sovereignty that love is not meant for them, that they do not see how they shall ever find love (violin music, British lilt pouring out of their puckered lips, tears down their ruddy, flustered faces), and that love is not at all worth the trouble they have seen themselves through in this latest and greatest debacle of their hearts.
And for any of my friends who think "Forever Alone" is my attempt to poke fun at a particular phrase I've heard bandied around, that is not my intent. It merely fits best for my post.
Now back to the antiwaulin'.
I hear the lamenting and the wauling and the wailing from the broken relationships and I'm totally there for my friends. I've always been a shoulder, and I'm happy to be one. But what I won't put up with words of fatalism. I know feelings can feel like things will never change, but fatalism just seems wrong. I can't even explain exactly why. In the next few paragraphs, I'll probably tell you many logical reasons why fatalism is a bad idea.
I suppose teasing with the idea of letting go of hope is bad. To ever allow the chance of the chaotic winds of change to threaten the glimmer of your future hope just seems unwise..
We all lose the winds in our sails, and sometimes our hope is nothing more than a cherry on the candle. But never tease yourself with snuffing it out!
Your heart is broken and spilling out across the floor, but to lament that there is no future for you is to capitulate to the worst of fears, that the present should somehow forever stain the possibility of tomorrow. That the world and all its wonders have now died to the hurt within, as if its presence means death itself is upon your doorstep.
Perhaps I'm just too much of an optimist. Perhaps my perspective is so often macro that see the big picture more than the little picture, even if I'm in pain. And that, with no surprise, has its downsides. I miss subtleties others cannot help but stare upon.
I suppose that's one reason I miss out on so much drama. I look at the bigger picture so often that the little things upon which drama revolves pass me by completely. And I'm perfectly comfortable with that. I rather detest drama.
But back to the fear of being forever alone.
My dear lovelies who have felt your heart broken by a man for whom your love was secure and deep, do not lament for ever, for ever can change in a single moment, and from every single moment to the next. If you love deeply and wish to love long, and your heart feels lost to the nethers of your torment, fear not, for the sunrise will come tomorrow, and with it new opportunities for peace and romance and consummation the likes of which your former lover might never have dreamed of bringing to you.
There is no guarantees, for guarantees neither evolved nor were birched upon us by God, nor ever will be, and by that token comes the promise of tomorrow, that while there love is not guaranteed, neither is our torment! All things have a season. Love deeply, love truly, and when the time ends, let this love go, but do not let go of your heart or the hope borne within for a better tomorrow!
Sleep well my friends. God bless you and sleep sweet, ever anticipating the opportunity of every dawn.

That's awesome! Nice work!!
A video demonstration of "Combat Landings," showing off some new FS2_Open engine features and a flight of Vipers on final approach.
Posted by sushi_cw on Jun 7th, 2011
One of the FS2_Open engine features we've been working on is adding support for BSG-style "combat landings," where ships fly into a landing bay and skid to a halt. Without further ado, a quick&dirty FRAPS capture demonstrating this working, (music by Phrey, original for Diaspora):
We had to add a few new features to make this possible. For example, in regular FS2_Open, collisions are extremely bouncy: it works fine in the context of the game, but presents a problem when you try to land because the ship behaves like it is on springs. We made some tweaks to the physics engine so that we could have more control over the collision physics, and allow relatively smooth touchdown&slide maneuvers.
Another obstacle was the AI: the path-following algorithms used by the FS2_Open engine were created and tuned with different ships and physics in mind, and did not work well with what we had created for Diaspora. We were able to improve the pathing algorithms so that ships would do things like adjust for their momentum when following paths.
Beyond that, the rest just comes from the judicious use of SEXPs (FS2_Open 's built-in scripting language) to have the AI slow down and glide onto the deck once inside the flight pod. The overall effect looks pretty nice, and although there is still room for improvement, should give you a taste of what landing a Viper feels like.
The music also deserves a mention: this is another track by Phrey, created specifically for the end of a mission when the FTL clock is counting down and you need to get your bird home or be left behind. It's a wonderful piece of work, and really helps build tension right at the end of the mission.
That's awesome! Nice work!!
The guy in front of you hit the floor and will be reduced to "Nugget" status ;)
Really cool! It has a feel of speed and diving down. I don't suppose motion blur is a feature in FS2 engine? I'm so looking forward to this game - can't you release a demo mission sometime soon? It looks like you have crazy amounts of content created already!
Unfortunately, true motion blur is somewhat impossible in the engine for the moment.
*standing ovation*
Very nice
I want to play this game badly.
This game keeps looking better and better.
Those landing are maybe a little too steady and smooth from what I remember from the show, but it looks excellent none the less.
been following this for a while now and each time u release something I'm more impressed good work !
Slick work guys, keeps getting better.
The landings look good. They're much more orderly than the landings that happened on the show. Are you planning to try and make the AI ships create the usual mess that occurred on the show? About the whole land or be left behind mechanic, that to me seems to be a bad idea. Especially if you accomplish a hard mission, only to get left behind and have to play it all over again. Plus I remember the ships on the show always waited for the all the pilots to land before jumping. I'm sure there are better ways to create tension at the end of a mission. Most of the people who play this game are going to be in it for the real BSG experience, and so would want to land and get out as fast as possible. Not all missions necessarily would need a tense ending, depending on what you actually went to do there.
Guys, you are hereby ordered by General Iron (that would be me :),

Moduli of curves and spin structures via algebraic geometry
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Here we investigate some birational properties of two collections of moduli spaces, namely moduli spaces of (pointed) stable curves and of (pointed) spin curves. In particular, we focus on vanishings of Hodge numbers of type and on computations of Kodaira dimension. Our methods are purely algebro-geometric and rely on an induction argument on the number of marked points and the genus of the curves.

More Appalachia History Coming Soon!
There is nowhere like the Appalachian trial. If you ever get a chance to go there, you most definitely should. We'll be covering chronology of the key figures of the Appalachian area as a whole. We'll be looking at the mountain men and mountain dogs that have made this area so astounding. If it were not for these figureheads, no one would walk the trail every year. Have you ever thought of that? If it weren't for the people, who blazed the original trail millions of people would be missing out on such a life changing experience. Loads of money would be lost from the revenue these hikers generate for the lodges and campgrounds in this area. Truly, if it were not for these men and women, America would not be what it is today. So that's why we're going to be looking at these individuals. We'll be highlighting some key stops along the way. Some great stores and sights to stop in at and a few businesses that keep that area running. For now, hang around and be watching as we reveal some awesome information that no one else has ever read before!

The following are examples of changes occurring in NEC-2014: A new table for sizing grounded conductors, main bonding jumpers, system-bonding jumpers and supply-side bonding jumpers is a highlight of the 2014 Code; New explanations clarify that "sole connection" provisions pertain to the types of electrodes involved and that "sole connection" sizing provisions are not forfeited if more than one of the specified types of electrodes involved are present; and Grounding electrode conductors and grounding electrode bonding jumpers are not required to comply with 300.5 for underground burial depth installations. Check out the explanations for the new code rules in Soares Grounding & Bonding first, where the text is easy-to-read and easy-to-understand. If you are serious about being well-versed in grounding and bonding code requirements, your technical library is incomplete without this book.

Amazing clients, nice, smart colleagues, interesting work.
The owners of this privately held firm are most interested in maximizing profits for themselves. Over many years the majority of the MD level employees have felt underpaid and under appreciated. This has resulted in an undertone of unhappiness at this firm. There is a "sweep it under the rug" culture here. There was a known trade off between salary and quality of life here but that is now a myth, which has added to unhappiness. I believe this has resulted in Cambridge being less competitive these days than in the past.
Advice to Management
The management has been through many changes to try to maintain quality talent and compete for business. The owners should invest more in the form and realize that talent is not fungible.

Bowl Week Starts in Earnest
I love bowl games, and I don't understand college football fans who don't. Largely-equitable teams, on neutral fields, during the holidays when we often have plenty of time to watch. What's not to love?
Anyway, the weekend kicked off a string of 20something bowl games in a week's time. Observations from the first wave:
Motor City Bowl:
1. Did Howard Schnellenberger really once coach at OU? I mean, how could that have happened?
The Colonel, of course, is one of my all-time favorites. More interesting than every OU or OSU coach since, combined. Now Schnellenberger is 6-0 in bowl games, after his victory over Central Michigan. None of those bowl wins came as a Sooner.
Schnellenberger's Florida Atlantic Owls doused him with Gatorade after the game, ruining a very nice suit, and lifted him for a little shoulder ride. I was happy for him.
2. The Motor City MVP was the Central Michigan fans and the bowl organizers. Did they really draw 41,000 fans for this low-level bowl in a downtrodden city?
Meinke Car Care Bowl:
1. By far the worst name in bowldom. Not even close, really. Papajohns.com Bowl is a way better name, and it stinks.
2. But this Charlotte bowl had West Virginia's Bill Stewart, everybody's favorite coach. The man who charmed us all at the Fiesta Bowl last year got a 31-30 victory over North Carolina, then showed his humanity with his downhome, on-field ESPN interview after the game.
"We love ESPN," Stewart said without a hint of bravado. "Call us anytime. We'll play any day you want."
Every coach in America should study Stewart's simple openness and honesty. He ought to give seminars at the coaches' convention in January.
Stewart was asked about his detractors at West Virginia, and while he admitted there was some critics, he said, "But I know most of them."
3. UNC coach Butch Davis blew this one. Up 29-24 after late-third quarter touchdown, Davis ordered an extra point. He should have called for a 2-point conversion.
This isn't the NFL, where two yards are hard-earned. In college, 2-point conversions are manageable for inventive offenses. Some day soon, some pioneer will start going for two after every touchdown and others will follow.
But Davis blinked. When you're up five, a coach must ask himself this question. What's more likely? That both teams keep scoring touchdowns? Or that the opponent starts kicking mutiple field goals? In the NFL, maybe the latter. In college, no way.
You're up five, particularly as the game hits the home stretch, and you've got to try to get back ahead by seven. Davis didn't, West Virginia scored and won 31-30.
4. Noticed John Blake on the Carolina sideline. You see the Tar Heels coming up on recruiting lists, even out here in Oklahoma. I think Blake is a valuable member of Davis' staff, which has done a very good job reviving UNC football.
5. It's not surprising that West Virginia's Pat White is the first quarterback to go 4-0 in bowls as a starter.
Think about it. We're only talking about since 1972. In those 36 years, how many quarterbacks started as freshmen? Not many. How many of those started four years? Fewer. How many of those made it to four bowls, especially in the days before the proliferation of all the bowls? How many won all four bowls?
See what I mean. OSU never has gone to bowls in four straight seasons. OU never has had a quarterback start four bowls, much less win all four.
6. West Virginia has the greatest auxiliary school song in the nation. John Denver's "Country Roads" is superb. "Oklahoma" by Rodgers and Hammerstein is fantastic and ably used by both Sooners and Cowboys, but Country Roads is in a league of its own.
Champ Sports Bowl:
1. If they gave out an award for worst coaching job of the year, my vote goes to Wisconsin's Bret Bielema. In the previous four years, the Badgers were 40-11.
But after a 42-13 loss to Florida State, Wisconsin finished 7-6. In its regular-season finale, the Badgers beat Cal Poly 36-35 in overtime. Before that, the Badgers survived hapless Minnesota 35-32.
2. Hard to get excited about a game in which the game MVP was a punter. Not that Florida State's Graham Gano wasn't deserving; three punts downed inside the 5-yard line, a 48.2-yard average.
3. Bobby Bowden, 79 years young, sure sounds like a coach who isn't thinking retirement. Kept talking about all the young guys that will be back next season.
4. With that in mind, Florida State has turned into college football's Brooklyn Dodgers. Wait 'til next year.
Emerald Bowl:
1. The configuration at Pac-Bell Park is ridiculous. It's one thing to put both teams on one sideline. But the tiny space between the end zone and the wall is dangerous.
Just because you can play football in a baseball stadium doesn't mean you should do it.
2. Don't take the crop of Big 12 quarterbacks for granted. Cal-Miami was a matchup of two excellent quarterback schools of recent years.
Miami, you know all about. But California, too, notably Kyle Boller and Aaron Rodgers.
And yet, this was a game that cried out for a quarterback. Cal started veteran Nate Longshore, who was mostly terrible, going 10-of-21. Miami starting QB Robert Marve missed the game because of suspension. Backup Jacory Harris was better than Longshore but committed two turnovers, including the game-decider.
In the Big 12, we've become accustomed to quality quarterback play. It's not widespread nationally.
3. Why doesn't Cal's Jeff Tedford get more respect? He's an excellent coach and has done a superb job in Berkeley.
When Tedford was hired in 2002, California had a streak of eight straight non-winning seasons. Cal's records under Tedford: 7-5, 8-6, 10-2, 8-4, 10-3, 7-6, 9-4.
Tedford's 59-30 record is the most wins and best percentage at Cal since Pappy Waldorf went 67-32-4 from 1947-56. And Cal has employed some good coaches. Marv Levy, Mike White and Steve Mariucci all were NFL head coaches.
Tedford's curse could be timing. He has turned Cal competitive during a period when Southern Cal has dominated the Pac-10. Before 2003, the Pac-10 was the epitome of balance. Oregon, Washington, UCLA, Washington State, Arizona State, Stanford, Oregon State, USC. Virtually every Pac-10 school was a contender. Now USC wins the league every year, leaving no glamor spot for the likes of Tedford and Cal.

A Sonoma County judge who reduced a jury's verdict against a man convicted of trying to sexually assault a young woman has modified his ruling to include a charge that requires the defendant to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.
In an order that generated significant public debate, Superior Court Judge Gary Medvigy last week dismissed Jaime Hernandez Gonzalez's attempted sexual assault conviction, saying a lifetime prison term required by the charge was unconstitutionally "cruel and unusual" because the punishment was vastly disproportionate to the facts of the case.
Instead, Medvigy found Hernandez Gonzalez, 24, guilty of a lesser charge, first-degree burglary, which carries a maximum of six years in prison.
Hernandez Gonzalez went inside a Cotati-area house in December 2007, stripped naked and confronted a woman in her bed. Clutching a wad of his clothes in one hand, he pulled off the woman's pajama bottoms as she screamed. The woman fled, along with another woman in the house, as did Hernandez Gonzalez.
Medvigy's decision quickly spread throughout the county's legal community and beyond, sparking condemnation and support.
Critics, including sexual assault victim advocates, said the judge minimized the crime and overrode the jury's findings, reached after a full day of deliberations. In a news release, District Attorney Stephan Passalacqua characterized Medvigy's ruling as "second-guessing" the jury's verdict.
Supporters championed what they called Medvigy's independent thinking and courage to make a ruling he believed was just, despite its potential unpopularity. Some pointed to Medvigy's history as a sex-crime prosecutor and decorated Army veteran as proof of his righteous intent. He also has served as a trainer for sexual assault victim advocates.
On Wednesday, apparently trying to clarify his intent and clear up any legal ambiguities, Medvigy summoned attorneys in the Hernandez Gonzalez case to his courtroom and, on his own legal motion, modified his original ruling.
Medvigy vacated his burglary ruling, which had no sex-crime component, and replaced it with an assault with the intent to commit rape, a charge that is closely related to the original one sought by prosecutors.
The assault charge carries a maximum six-year prison term. The original assault charge filed by prosecutors contains an allegation of burglary, which ratchets up its punishment to a mandatory life term.

Just a vase . . . does this somehow explain why Lindsay Lohan threw an entire living room set out the window when the cops knocked on her door?
They let her go? She needs help! WTF?
What causes that look? Is it meth?
she needs mental help and the family that probably lived so well off of her nickelodeon money in the 90's is nowhere to be found now that she needs them. poor girl

Spanish indie dev Teku Studios has reached its $40,000 crowdfunding goal for Candle, a cinematic adventure game slated for release next year for PC platforms.
Inspired by classics like Out of This World and the Oddworld series, Candle blends the mechanics of a side-scrolling platformer with the puzzle-solving focus of a graphic adventure game. The game's main character, Teku, is equipped with a candle, which he can use to illuminate dark areas and solve light-based puzzles.
Teku Studios announced today that Candle is also coming to the Wii U as a downloadable eShop release.
"We are already thinking about dedicated gameplay on Wii U - we are not doing any kind of quick port," Teku Studios confirmed. "We will design specific gameplay features for its gamepad: all the menus, inventory and minigames will be tactile-controled on the touchscreen, as well as other unique actions concerning Teku's candle."
Candle currently seeks community approval at Steam Greenlight.

Educational Technology, a Moral Imperative
Shields, Jean, Technology & Learning
How do you implement technology and guide the progress of a million students? That's the challenge chancellor of schools Rudy Crew faces in New York City. He shared his insights with T&L in a recent interview.
T&L: Let's start with some background -- what drew you to education in the first place; what was your attraction?
RC: I worked in the early days of desegregtion, as a college student, in a small private school outside of Boston where kids from the inner city were brought. These kids got what amounted to an exclusive, private school education. I remember thinking, why can't their school in Boston be this good? Why do they have to come, 10, almost 20 miles to get a good education? And I kept thinking about that, and kept working with kids, and kept enjoying it and the next thing I knew I converted a business major to an education major. after I got out of undergraduate school.
T&L: Can you give me an overview of technology in the schools here, and the planning process you went through?
RC: The initial look at the system as a whole was that it was, at least in terms of technology, the best of times and the worst of times. We have tried to step back from that and create both a dialogue and ultimately a plan of action predicated on two things. One: what skills will our children need" And then secondly, how should those skills be augmented and supported by technology?
A subset of issues around that is, how do you then, as a system, provide the professional development, provide for an efficient yet flexible way of deciding matters of hardware, software, and the like? Much of our technology plan was oriented at providing that structure because without it, you had this more random, hit-or-miss situation. It was as though some kids were going to walk with skill and adeptness in technology into the 21st century, and others would walk into it without having a clue. We said that's a totally inefficient and ineffective way of manifesting our belief that all these children not only can do this but should be able to, and be able to acquire their own education through the use of technology.
The stumbling blocks along the way were many and still remain. We have a facilities issue -- older buildings that don't easily accommodate the infrastructural adaptations that need to be made. And there is the issue of money, and how to enlist not just one s own resources, but collectively the resources of the larger community -- government as well as business and philanthropic interests -- to fund a multi-year $2.1 billion enterprise. There is the issue of integrating technology into instruction.
Many said technology is to simply facilitate teaching. Or to have more clear management purposes, data gathering and so on. Then there are others who argue, no, technology is a means to an end and the end is learning.
And what we've said is, you know what, they're all right. The question becomes then, how do you apply, with some measure of priority and pressure, the value of technology to a myriad of issues on the educational landscape, the most prominent of which is learning? And that's really what our work has been about. It is not restricted to just the instructional conversation, albeit that's for me at least the centerpiece of it. But it goes into business uses, into data gathering, data analysis. And also using, technology to review and inform a variety of publics -- our principals, our superintendents, our teachers -- about how to look at student data in a variety of ways.
T&L: How does technology impact your leadership role?
RC: Where I came from in Tacoma. I had a PC and could access basically all the data in the system. School by school, and almost by the time I had left, classroom by classroom. I came here and there wasn't anything, basically. We're working to change that; we've made connectivity a priority so that everyone could be in touch and share information. …

Warren Buffett said Monday that Berkshire Hathaway companies, including BNSF Railway, are doing well and "I see our businesses coming back almost across the board."
Buffett told the Montana Economic Development Summit: "I am a huge bull on this country. We will not have a double-dip recession at all ... I don't see that in our businesses. I see we're employing more people than a month ago, two months ago."
"It's night and day from a year, year-and-a-half ago," said the billionaire investor via a video connection. "I know Wells Fargo, they would love to have $50 billion more of loans now. Go in and talk to the banker." Berkshire Hathaway is Wells Fargo's biggest shareholder.
Fairport, N.Y.-based RailComm said Monday it has been selected to provide a wireless remote control derail system at Amtrak's Maintenance Facility in Hialeah, Fla., outside Miami.
Two customized Local Control Panels, located within the maintenance building, will provide wireless remote control to the derails. The panels include a keypad for advanced security and logging. The user is required to input a unique pass-code (PIN #) to operate the derail machines.
All control panel operations are recorded and stored on a wirelessly linked PC work station. The data entries contain the name and trade of the operator, the nature of the operation, and the date and time. The work station allows supervisors, managers, and other authorized personnel to review the operation logs and manage the system security.
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in Shanghai Monday that California will seek China's help in building its estimated $44 billion high speed rail system.
So far, the federal government has pledged $2.25 billion of the funding through the high speed rail stimulus plan; state voters in 2008 approved another $9.95 billion in debt financing to launch the project. To help fill the huge remaining gap, Schwarzenegger said California would seek funding from China as well as construction bids from Chinese companies.
"We look to China to build our high speed rail, to be part of the bidding process that we are going to go through," Schwarzenegger told a U.S. trade mission. Noting that "many countries will be bidding to build our high speed rail," he said California would also seek Chinese funding.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in Seattle last week that federally financed Americans trains should built in the U.S. There has long been strong "Buy America" requirements for federally-aided transit equipment, and a number of foreign firms have established construction plants in the U.S. The Federal Railroad Administration's curent requirements for HSR projects call for 100% U.S. content—in the opinion of some, an unrealistic provision.
The Federal Railroad Administration Monday said Amtrak has joined FRA's Confidential Close Call Reporting System (C3RS), a safety pilot project that permits rail employees to voluntarily and anonymously report "close call" incidents that could have resulted in an accident or injury but did not.
Amtrak is the fourth railroad to join the C3RS program, following Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, and New Jersey Transit. Under the program, employees can report "close call" incidents that did not result in an accident without fear of sanction or penalty from the railroad or the federal government.
"This pilot program has the potential to transform safety and has already prevented injuries and saved lives where it's being used," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Once evaluated, we hope to make this reporting system a permanent part of our national safety strategy involving railroads across the country."
"Amtrak's national reach gives us the last piece we need to make this pilot program complete," said FRA Deputy Administrator Karen Rae.
FRA currently requires all railroads to routinely report a wide range of accidents and incidents. While "close call" events are not required to be routinely reported, they could be potentially serious. Understanding these events will help railroads and FRA take appropriate steps to ensure accidents don't actually occur by helping develop and institute mitigation strategies, countermeasures, and best practices, FRA said.
The cumulative results of confidential close call reporting are being analyzed by the Department's Research and Innovative Technology Administration (RITA) to determine areas of potential risk and to develop solutions to prevent and minimize their occurrence in the future. Preliminary analysis by RITA of Union Pacific's close call reporting project at its railyard in North Platte, Neb., have already shown a significant reduction in human factor-related incidents, making it first in safety in the Union Pacific system.
In order to participate, Amtrak, the United Transportation Union, and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen each ratified an agreement with the FRA to allow employees to make confidential reports of close calls.
The agreement covers Amtrak employees in yards and terminals in the Northeast Corridor, and also in the Chicago, Miami, Seattle, and Los Angeles areas. Amtrak anticipates adding its mainline routes to the C3RS program in the future, thus covering the entire Amtrak national system.
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration is assisting FRA on this research effort using its authority to protect the confidentiality of the data, as it currently does with the airline industry and Veterans Administration Hospitals.
New Jersey Transit has suspended further work on two new Hudson River commuter rail tunnels for least 30 days at it re-examines prospects for funding the $8.7 billion project. The Federal Transit Administration, through which federal funds flow, is reportedly concerned by the prospect of cost overruns.
In a written statement, New Jersey Transit Executive Director James Weinstein said: "The governor has made it clear to me that the project must stay on time and on budget. Anything short of that is unacceptable."
The project has not won universal applause among transportation economists. But project advocates claim that it would come close to doubling trans-Hudson commuter rail capacity.
The Ohio Rail Development Commission says it has approved a staff recommendation for the Commission to act as the public sponsor for a $750,000 dollar grant from the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission. The grant would leverage $250,000 in CSX funds for a project to lower the tracks beneath the Front Street bridge in Downtown Columbus, the state capital (near the Arena District).
ORDC says the project would also benefit the environment and reduce traffic congestion by taking up to 70,000 longhaul truck moves off of Ohio's highways, resulting in substantial fuel and diesel emissions savings.
In a second major project, ORDC staff approved a $125,000 grant to help leverage funds from Norfolk Southern to build a new switch and rehabilitate a rail spur to help revive a vacant South Columbus plant and create jobs.
The switch and spur project will enable Phoenix-based International Technical Coatings to establish a manufacturing operation in the vacant Techneglas plant in South Columbus, and create an estimated 120 to 200 jobs. The Columbus site reportedly was the choice of ITC over a site in Kentucky because of the access to rail and favorable electric rates. In addition, grants are being provided through grants and tax credits from the Ohio Department of Development, the City of Columbus, and Columbus-based American Electric Power.
"Projects like these are the essence of how the ORDC works with the private sector to make significant economic development happen," said ORDC Executive Director Matt Dietrich.
The important trend, Union Pacific Chief Financial Officer Bob Kight told a Credit Suisse conference in New York Wednesday, is "being in a position to discuss volume growth." The rate of growth remains a question.
UP expects a peak fall season generally, but as for the seasonal peak in the flow of containers from Pacific Rim countries into the Port of Los Angeles and Long Beach, Kight was quoted as saying, it could be "more of a bump" than a "historical, traditional peak."
UP's total freight volume is growing, though more slowly than in the second quarter. UP's third-quarter volume through August was up 13% from last year. Intermodal was up 24%.
CSX Transportation said at a Dahlman Rose conference on Wednesday that it's preparing for a peak fall season, with intermodal strengths continuing at least through the rest of this year.
In a decision released Friday, the Surface Transportation Board authorized U S Rail Corp. to build and operate a three-mile line in Brookhaven, Suffolk County, N.Y., that will connect with the Long Island Rail Road, over which the New York & Atlantic provides freight service. The agency said the approval is subject to environmental mitigationconditions.
STB said the purpose of the construction is to enable U S Rail to serve the Brookhaven Rail terminal as a common carrier and to deliver up to 500,000 tons of aggregate annually from sources in upstate New York to Sills Road Realty, the owner of the underlying property, and its affiliates and related companies on Long Island.
U S Rail also will install a rail switch, crushed stone aggregate handling and storage facilities, an intermodal freight storage area, and a transload area with truck scales.
The regulatory agency said the new line will reduce truck traffic in the New York metropolitan area.

1139 Fail it
Share on Facebook
Yeah, what a waste of resources. I'm guessing this guy is American.
Coprophage, isn't your name supposed to be Coprophagia? That would be more appropriate.
Is that Chumlee?
He's a one ton one man recyclery
why he is fail ?!?!?1 beacuse he is fat ?beacuse he like something so much?I ADMIRE THIS GUY.he want something and make something about his dream.he like ninjas and want to be a ninja,yeah his is fat and SO WHAT ?!?!?!?FUCKING` HATERS
is not a fail…he survived..
no cisqo…its a fail… he survived.
Poor bottles!!! YOU SOB why did you kill those bottles of water!!! What did they ever do to you!!!
What a waste of water
Ninja and "McDonald's Customer of the Year" in the same time….Who could have imagined?:)
IMO, no more ridiulous than Forest Whitaker plying a ninja in "Ghost Dog". I like him as an actor, but a ninja he aint…
Forest Whitaker was not a ninja in Ghost Dog, but a samurai
Yeah, Kobura is right. He was totally a samurai. Because that's far more believable. Good movie, though.
I can see that ninja coming from miles.. in the dark
Why do fat people always hate water so much? He should be hacking up bottles of whatever sugary drink surely contributed to his sad state.
ive always said Dragon Ball Z was real, ladies and gentleman i give you Yajarobe
Ladies and gentlemen, Our Winner!
BWhahahha comment of the year
"DAMN YOU AND YOUR NEAR-ZERO CALORIE COUNT, WATER!" *chop*
@FRED Someday when you get good at Karate….. You be able to be a Ninja like your Brother…
Meanwhile, 780 million people around the globe have no access to clean drinking water.
neither do they have food.. cuz this fatass ninja ate it all
so what are you doing to ease their plight???
This guy needs to get a job.
i heard he got a job working at a pawn shop in vegas
The puppy shirt from 67-68 was cracking me up.
Highest kill count for water bottles ever. I bet this vid makes other water bottle killers very intimidated.
every bottle is a bully. a thin person. a bad guy.
this guy is a hero in his own head. he says to his mate after each bottle: "could you imagine if that was a person?"
he is a psycho in the making.
ofc, he should grow up and learn something really, but that just isn't going to happen.
He won't be a psycho. Just a recluse. Staying in his studio apartment plotting evil plans, but never actually getting off the couch and computer to do anything.
Chris Farley's Beverly Hills Ninja Deleted Scene!!!!
did he fail because he was fat????
This is what I want to know.
Besides that he is fat it is pretty cool. He is just showing his swords which are really sharp. Fuck it that he is fat, most americans are.
thats kinda what i was thinking, if you ever took your friends three hundred dollar sword and started hacking shit with it you would know that 90% of swords cant cut for shit and that it takes a technque to cut through something. so even though he is fat as hell, it does take tallent to cut through the bottle and leave the bottom half on the table.
90% of swords you see can't cut through shit because they're dull edged display swords that aren't meant to be used.
when you have an actual one that is razor sharp, amazingly it has the ability to cut through things. all you have to do is swing your arm as hard as you can. it takes absolutely no talent to do that.
Yeah Rippy is completely right. If you have enough time on your hands to sharpen a sword that mostly are meant for display in a @) year old anime freak's bedroom, you would get anything sharp enough to cut through a freaking little plastic recyclable water bottle. This kid obviously has issues with anti-social behavior. Its not funny, but this kid definitely needs some psych help
If this guy were skinny i bet it would be a "Ninja Win," and you all assholes would be saying OMG THAT'S AWESOME! ok the guy is fat, and has a pretty cool hobbie, while you all are bullying here in the internet, you suck, i bet you wouldn't dare to say a word in front of him!
Umm, pretty sure 99% of us would call him a fat fuck to his face. Even if he has his sword, all you have to do is jog for 30 seconds. He will tire out and probably fall on his own sword.
Also, cutting up perfectly good bottles of water is a waste. He should drink them, and throw away the 300 Mountain Dew cans next to his computer where he sits his fat ass and plays World of Warcraft. "Stop Bullying" How about "Stop being pussies and stand up for yourself"
He is… ze chosen one!
Why waste so much water?!
I fail to see how this is a fail. Is it because of his weight? Who cares about his weight, he's good with a sword, and that's all that matters. And about him wasting water, who cares, its his water he paid for it, and its not like him using it will cause bottled water company's to manufacture more water, so its not really a waist at all. And even if he wasted all that water, that's hardly enough to even fill a bathtub, to his wasting of water doesn't even slightly effect anything.
1) much water wasted including cola.
2) bottom half of the bottles was meant to stay up.
3) the bigger water bottle and it's stand shouldn't of fell.
he failed as a ninja big time
Better Not FUQ With HIM!!
Welcome to Virgin Ville. Population: this guy
I bet he wouldn't slice any cheeseburgers up!
I don't see how this is a fail other than the fact that he is fat. At least he's getting some exercise.
1) much water wasted including cola.
2) bottom half of the bottles was meant to stay up.
3) the bigger water bottle and it's stand shouldn't of fell.
he failed as a ninja big time
This ninja likes to eat )
That was pretty impresive in my book, chopping the 5 gallon.
Good video, but you are too fat , to be a ninja
fucking ninjas can i not see your moves :TROLL:
Fat ass needs to put the water bottles at the end of the drive and run to them, then chop. Do something useful you waste of life.
Sorry to bust all you faggoty foreigners bubble, but this lard ass is not American. He sounds like he is either a British or Australian faggot.
He's from New Jersey, he does this on youtube. So, this lard ass is American!
he pauses to think too much before his next move. he should watch ong bak 2, tony jaa is the master. Bruce lee RIP.
"feel don't think"
-Bruce Lee
He is… THE ONE!
one day he will be able to grow a full beard
What a blob of uselessness.
It had to be diet coke..
He must really hate water…. I mean look at him
Boy he can take out some bottles! I bet he can do the same to some chicken wings..
Thats a win kid got some sword skills
I'm sorry but this kid has major anti-social behaviors… its definitely an epic fail and and laughed my asss off on this kid's miserable behalf but it's terrible to think this little guy eats his pain away and jags off to anime and plays with novelty items that shouldn't be sharpened unless we enter an apocalypse and theres a turf war with little recyclable objects… kinda sad dude… seriously..
coppercab's bro
lol i think this fatty need a new hobby and get to the gym…
the fat ninja presents
Plastic water bottles don't stand a chance against sword weilding sumo-ninja.
