Stranger are you waiting
For someone to come down and love you in time
Stranger you're debating
Can you get the words in your head and you're heart to rhyme
Feel like a perfect stranger
You been gone so long
It's come down to feeling
And you're feeling wrong
I know how you want to, you're a hero
And under the stars you are wild
Well, come on, I want you I'm telling you
And you're only a stranger a little while
Feel like a perfect stranger
You been gone so long
But you still know how to make it baby
You got to make it strong
It just got too heavy to carry
It all came down
But you're still alive, you're still seething
Just in time, you found your time
And your timing is perfect stranger
What it gets down to, you, you, you baby
Only you, only you
Your timing is perfect stranger
You been gone too long
It's your time to make baby
You've got to make it strong now
Oh baby strong now
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Public transit ridership rises to highest level in 52 years
So what are you doing transit-wise to cope with the recession and the inevitability of much higher oil prices in the future?
The Washington Post reports today:
Despite job losses and falling gasoline prices, record numbers of Americans rode subways, buses and commuter rail last year, boosting public transportation ridership to its highest level in 52 years, according to a survey to be released today by the American Public Transportation Association.
Advocates say the ridership figures show growing support for public transportation. They hope to use that support to push for federal funding beyond the $8.4 billion in stimulus money set aside for transit. More investment in transit not only helps the economy, advocacy groups say, but also helps the environment and fosters energy independence.
This would seem to be the shape of things to come for most Americans, especially once peak oil drives gasoline prices back above $4 a gallon — and probably above $6 — in the next decade (see "Merrill: Non-OPEC production has likely peaked, oil output could fall by 30 million bpd by 2015" and "Normally staid International Energy Agency says oil will peak in 2020").
Here are some encouraging excerpts from the article:
The 10.7 billion transit trips Americans took last year amounted to a 4 percent increase over trips taken in 2007; at the same time, Americans drove measurably less, according to the Transportation Department.
[I will do an article on the driving statistics shortly.]
The increase is significant because cheaper gas and job losses tend to drive transit ridership down. Almost 60 percent of transit riders go to work.
The APTA survey found that ridership increased last year on all modes of transit all across the country. Ridership rose on 14 of the nation's subway systems (3.5 percent), 20 of 21 commuter rail systems (4.7 percent) and 20 of 26 light-rail systems (8.3 percent). Some of the big increases were in places such as South Florida, Dallas and Salt Lake City, not necessarily among the largest communities served by transit, officials said.
Bus service increased 3.9 percent, but ridership on systems serving populations under 100,000 rose 9.3 percent, the survey found. Riders in those systems typically wait up to an hour for their buses, officials said….
Transit officials said that even with fewer people going to work and cheaper gas, riders are taking transit to save money. On Oct. 1, a gallon of regular gas was $3.61, compared with $4.11 a gallon on July 17. By year's end, the national average was $1.61.
In South Florida, average weekday ridership on the Tri-Rail commuter line is about 15,000 trips, a small number compared with the hundreds of thousands of vehicles that cram Interstate 95 every day between Fort Lauderdale and Miami. But ridership on Tri-Rail, which runs from Miami to West Palm Beach, rose 18 percent in the fourth quarter and nearly 23 percent for the year. Reflecting a nationwide trend, more riders climbed aboard in the second and third quarters last year as gasoline prices skyrocketed, and the number stayed even when prices at the pump fell. The trend is holding, with ridership up about 8 percent in January over the same month last year, Tri-Rail spokeswoman Bonnie Arnold said.
The Dallas light-rail system, which has an average weekday ridership of 70,000 trips, registered a ridership increase of more than 8 percent in the fourth quarter and more than 10 percent for the year.
"People who were used to driving did the math and figured they could buy a monthly pass [$50] for less than a tank of gas," said Morgan Lyons, a spokesman for the Dallas Area Rapid Transit. As gasoline prices fell, other benefits became more apparent, he said. Instead of traffic-clogged drives that could take up to an hour, riders could be on the train for 35 to 40 minutes and do work or relax. "When you have to start making decisions about all the little things, other little things become equally important," he said.
Ridership demand notwithstanding, enormous budget deficits and falling sales and property tax revenue have forced many transit agencies to raise fares and cut service. Last month, the Cincinnati Metro said it was reducing service on 27 bus routes to balance its 2009 budget. Maryland officials cut MARC rail and commuter bus service. In Washington, Metro officials are expected to decide this week whether they will reduce bus and rail service to help close a $29 million deficit in next year's budget.
Looking ahead, transit officials say ridership is likely to fall in the first quarter of this year because of the slumping economy. But they say stimulus-funded projects set to get underway this spring will show policymakers the benefits of transit investment.
Let's hope so.
9 Responses to Public transit ridership rises to highest level in 52 years
Just an FYI….your site takes a very long time to load.
Two stories here today, taken together, are interesting. If half the population in the country lives along the coast and if much of our mass-transit is below ground, how long before subways begin flooding? Sooner than the city streets above, certainly. How far below ground are they? I'm not much of a city gal, though. Maybe the engineers are already dealing with this. From the photo (is that London?) it looks as though the Tube would already have closed…
Your website did not take any time to load, at all.
Thanks for all you do, Joe.
What took you so long to cover this Joe? ;-)
The idea that riders should have to wait an hour for a bus is ridiculous. I think that we should make every four lane road (2 lanes in each direction) have a dedicated bus lane in both directions. Let Buses speed through traffic.
Part of the issue with public transit is waiting for the bus or train. Google Maps supports a public transit option now for NYC. I can enter my starting and ending address and Google Maps will tell me the fastest way to get there via public transit. It lists the times that the bus or train will arrive along with transfer times. The iPhone has this built in to the software under the standard maps application. It is a great use of technology. At night, when the traffic is less, the times are pretty spot on. During the day, traffic interferes with the bus times. People would take public transit more if they could know the times. We should build a system that realizes this truth.
A dedicated bus lane would allow Buses to be on time. They would have their own lane and we could use Radio Frequency ID tags to broadcast the exact position of the bus which could easily be relayed to a cell phone or the internet. People would know exactly where the bus was and when it would arrive. People can still drive their cars, but they will have to deal with the traffic and commute times. Reward the people who will use public transit by giving them traffic-less lanes to travel on. If the police strictly enforced the the bus-only lanes, bus travel times would be reduced and on time even during rush hour. A double reason to ride the bus.
This is very encouraging! Thanks.
And Barbara, it is indeed a picture of London, but it doesn't look quite like that. Not yet :)
I live in Sydney and there has been an increase in public transport patronage here too. Unfortunately the rail network is already running over 100% capacity, there is not enough power in the network's electricity grid to run the new trains and the project to fix that is running 3 years late and 7-times over budget, the new rail lines to fast-growing outer suburbs have been cancelled, the new storage facility for the new trains was to be built as part of one of those cancelled rail lines, and an alternative will not be ready until 3 years after the new trains come into service, and from some parts of Sydney it is no cheaper than driving because the state government subsidises tolls on the privately-owned motorways instead of investing in public transport infrastructure…. the point I'm making with this rant is that governments need to start thinking of public transport as the primary form of transportation, and fund it accordingly.
Downtown Portland Oregon has whole streets dedicated to the buses.
Not that it matters terribly much, but that also looks a lot like it could be Washington DC's Metro system instead of London – I've never been to London though, so it could be that they look quite similar. I'm just guessing DC since Joe is located there.
The price of gasoline got so high last year that many people got so desperate they would try anything; even allowing themselves to be herded onto mass transit.
No problem for those who live and work in clustered situations. The more the better, but most of us in the USA do not live that way. If I observe correctly, and my own experiences are remotely representative, most do not want to give up their present patterns.

Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT) elimination
The partnership
A strong partnership
The Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination Initiative was launched by UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA in 1999, revitalizing the goal of MNT elimination as a public health problem. The definition of MNT elimination as a public health problem is defined as less than one NT case per 1000 live births in every district. Maternal tetanus is assumed to be eliminated once NT elimination has been achieved.
Within the partnership, each partner brings in its own field of expertise:
- Countries: ownership, oversight and implementation of recommended strategies
- UNICEF: coordination of accelerated activities and strengthening routine immunization to achieve and maintain MNT elimination
- UNFPA: promotion of clean deliveries
- WHO: monitoring and validation of elimination status, development of strategies for maintaining elimination and strengthening routine immunization
The UNICEF/WHO/UNFPA strategy document published in 2000, identified 59 countries* that had not yet achieved MNT elimination. Significant progress has been made since that time, however, as of August 2015, MNT remains a major public health problem in 21 countries**
*Afghanistan, Angola, Bangladesh, Benin, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cameroon, Central African Republic (the), Chad, China, Comoros (the), Congo (the), Côte d'Ivoire, Democratic Republic of the Congo (the), Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Liberia, Lao People's Democratic Republic (the), Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Namibia, Nepal, Niger (the), Nigeria, Pakistan, Papua New Guinea, Philippines (the), Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Somalia, South Africa, Sudan, Togo, Turkey, Uganda, United Republic of Tanzania (the), Vietnam, Yemen, Zambia, Zimbabwe - Timor-Leste and South Sudan increased the number of countries to 59

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Time To Focus On Henrik Sedin
by Paul on 01/19/10 at 05:30 PM ET
Comments (0)
from Craig Simpson of CBC,
For years now, Henrik and twin brother Daniel have been very good players and by far the most productive Canucks, but until this season, they have yet to be recognized as superstar players league-wide. This season however, there is no disputing the fact that the Sedins are all that and more, and Henrik in particular, is well on his way to having a Hart Trophy worthy season.
It's not unusual for much of the media attention to focus on the likes of Alex Ovechkin and Crosby (both are worthy recipients). Henrik Sedin, in this his ninth NHL season often flies under the radar. Maybe it's the fact that he plays on the West Coast, or maybe it's his quiet demeanour, but rarely does he get the respect that his play on the ice deserves.

John Heilemann on Morning Joe: Bloomberg Hates Admitting Mistakes
The mayor stood his ground. Until yesterday.
On Morning Joe today, our own John Heilemann weighed in on the Cathie Black fallout, noting that even through strong initial opposition to Black as New York City's schools chancellor, Mayor Michael Bloomberg held tight with his choice. Until yesterday. "She's got a 17 percent approval rating," Heilemann said. "You can't run the nation's biggest school system when someone has lost the support of every minority community in the city."

Direct extension of the work done first on Dune 2 and Command & Conquer, Red Alert saga has chained the success with no fewer than five titles in five years. However, the war between Allies and Soviets abruptly ended with the release of The Revenge of Yuri in 2001. Having given for every day the fight GDI / NOD to integrate a third faction, Electronic Arts has decided to do the same with Red Alert 3 and the arrival of the Empire of the Rising Sun. While the year 2008 has been very calm decidedly level strategy games real time, the novelty will it be enough to convince us?
Command & Conquer remains very alert
In 1945 and then a trip back in time Ally has already chamberlain history (to eliminate Hitler before he takes power), the Soviets are preparing to do the same: completely cornered, they don ' have no other choice than to try an experiment to eliminate Albert Einstein, the head of the technological advance of the Allies. At first, General Krukov and Prime Minister Cherdenko are delighted by the results of the experiment: in the USSR, the political situation is calmer and Allied military advantage which no longer exists, in theory, the Soviet forces to resume the offensive. In theory because it does not need time to understand that secrecy is a new power emerged on the international scene: the Empire of the Rising Sun.
That is essentially the scenario because the three campaigns in Red Alert 3. Travel through time once again to honor and we can not moreover that the writers have shown great imagination. These three campaigns, one for each faction in the presence (Allies, Soviet and Japanese) is cut into nine missions each, a total of 27 missions for the only scripted part of the game Unlike other titles, it is not necessary to proceed "in order". The player can start with the campaign of his choice, take a break after three missions to tackle another campaign and come back then: the increase is at the discretion of the player, as well as the choice of difficulty level.
Unfortunately, hostilities begin in a little too quiet with the Soviet campaign does not shine by its originality. The scenario here is very classic and twists telephoned to say the least, fortunately saved from missions, certainly no genius, but effective. Developers have called upon the principle of openness of the battlefield which, during the same mission, to grow the map as the success of goals. These are very simple, but just allow everyone to quickly enter the bath. Red Alert 3 remains faithful to here what has made the success of the series Command & Conquer: clear goals, a successful interface and a grip immediately.
While keeping these elements, of course developers have integrated the new foremost mode coop is the most important. If the multiplayer is common in the world of real-time strategy, the cooperative is currently still confidential. Electronic Arts has decided to pull out all the stops to play in all 27 missions of the three campaigns with a friend. The operation of this is quite simple: at the beginning of each mission, we can play solo or coop. To do this, simply connect to the Internet and allow a player to join us. Then, the mission is little more complicated because the two friends took part together in the mission and should accomplish the same objectives in solitary.
It is then possible to support attacks together and share the tasks ahead for parties who take a special flavor. We regret however that the objectives remain a little too wise and we are confident that it would have been possible to go much further. Unfortunately, developers were probably limited by the obligation to make campaigns playable in real "solo". The role of the second player is then assigned to artificial intelligence that is doing rather well by example by being able to build units complementary to those of the player or to support its attacks. It is even possible to provide some specific targets, but it must not expect miracles.
Attacks of this artificial intelligence remain relatively stereotyped and the same goes for our enemies. They are incapable of surprising us and the maximum level of difficulty, only by its ability to manage multiple fronts at the same time that the IA is able to counter the regulars. For beginners or occasional players, the picture is more positive and they should be able to enjoy a good fifteen hours minimum with the 27 tasks they will also discover all the innovations devised by developers From the faction of the Empire of the Rising Sun to new units designed for the Allies and the Soviets. These are not revolutionary, but reinforcing including naval aspect of things.
"We Want War, Wake Up!"
In Rogue Alert 3 is indeed take the fight until the middle of the oceans through cards rather large and systematically with extensive sea. Rarely, a set of real-time strategy had given as much importance to the environment in naval and Red Alert 3, it is simple, most units can fight on the water. More interesting still, the opportunity to build a real foundation on the water since most of the structures need not be built on land. Of course, one should not necessarily very long to take into account this of the game, but this is a change that brings new blood, which is obviously not displeasing to us.
Allies and Soviets can count on some new units in order to update, but also on changes that developers were forced to do so because the scenario : Einstein absent, many units, including allies, could not exist . The tank or helicopter Goalkeeper Twinblades make their entry as well as the Hydrofoil and Stingray. These units are mastered quickly enough, but to enrich it further, secondary skills have been added and "special weapons" (attack orbital radius of freezing ...). Again, the mastery of these subtleties is hardly complex, it is a matter of time, but it makes fighting a little more surprising and increase turnaround possible.
Finally, the bulk of novelty, of course, by introducing a new faction: the Empire of the Rising Sun. Largely inspired by some traditional and cultural aspects of Japan, this faction is very fun to play through its units' transformers. Several units have secondary jurisdiction as the ability to change into another unit which allows, as appropriate, to spend submarine hunter or jet with all-terrain vehicle. These changes allow these units to be more versatile, but require some time to adapt. The arrival of Japan has also enriched the cinematic, a real trademark of the series. For the occasion, EA has put the means.

OK so perhaps the real question we should ask is why? Why is it that any cyclist can see such bike lanes and laugh (or cry) but the "engineer" that wrote the work order or reviewed the work can't see that such things are just beyond stupid?
I am an engineer and frankly these traffic engineers that allow stupid bike lanes are giving engineers bad names.
This is cycling advocacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d1gaRQ2ZM
So is this: http://www.railstotrails.org/resourc...A_20081020.pdf
Honolulu is an old city and we have very bad bike lanes. They basically just give us some marked space wherever it is and they all feed you right into death traps. We kill about 100 peds a year. Cyclists are not even on the radar yet.
from bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to liberty, from liberty to abundance, from abundance to selfishness, from selfishness to complacency from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependency, from dependency back to bondage.
It's stupid, but no stupider than most every other urban bike lanes, its just a shorter example.
It's length is not an attribute that makes it good or bad - it only affects how much of that quality there is . The placement of the lane striping relative to parked cars and the intersections are two attributes that alone make it a stupid bike lane. It is fortunate that it does not continue for any more blocks than this one - that would make it stupid*blocks
Bad lane in England
More England, extraordinarily narrow bike lane
In York England, three horrible bike lanes:
From Portland Oregon
Here is a photo of a intersection with poor planning:
Vehicular cycling techniques have not been tried and found difficult. They have been presumed difficult and not tried.
the worst intersections for cyclists in Portland are the result of interstate highway overlays. get rid of the highways and the highest hazard intersections would all go away overnight.
i think the design found in the thumbnail is good, as it separates the through surface road bicycle traffic from the highway on-ramp traffic well before the intersection. the only problem i've encountered is that the approach to the bike lane merge left is on an incline (coupled with motorists' tendency to speed).
"and i thought they smelled bad on the outside."
As bad as some of these bike lanes are, you should try riding in an area where there are no bike lanes, and little tolerance for bikes (unless gasoline powered and noisy).
Those shown in Portland would be a dream come true here. Crossing a high speed turn lane doesn't have a good solution that I have seen.

Novel idea: Let's do away with those freeway ramp meters, which keep ramps from functioning properly as acceleration lanes (much-needed for many of us with underpowered cars), and traffic calm the mouths of the ramps.
"Early to bed, early to rise. Work like hell, and advertise." -- George Stahlman
Capo [dschaw'-poe]: 1959 Modell Campagnolo, S/N 40324; 1960 Sieger, S/N 42624
Peugeot: 1970 UO-8, S/N 0010468
Bianchi: 1981 Campione d'Italia, S/N 1.M9914
Schwinn: 1988 Project KOM-10, S/N F804069
That is akin to putting fat heavy wheels on a CF racing bike.
Traffic calming the mouth of the ramp would slow the access to the ramp and "meter" the flow of traffic automatically. It would also allow for a graceful way to transition from lower speed streets to on ramps... we would not need 55MPH arterials acting like pseudo freeways. Lower speed streets feeding traffic calmed ramps could control the flow of traffic quite well.
John didn't mention a study that shows that road speeds above 40MPH are NOT conducive to good flow?
This is cycling advocacy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d1gaRQ2ZM

Fidelity, a popular brokerage house, today published a survey
that revealed a record number of workers made hardship withdrawals
from their retirement accounts in the second quarter of 2010.
Rising unemployment and corporate cut-backs on overtime and
overall hours have reduced the take-home pay of many workers. This
trend has forced many workers to get a grip on their spending
habits. Although the media loves to brag about the resilience of
the American consumer, free spending is nothing to be proud of. Our
country's workers face large debt levels, which are a contributing
factor in the current economic malaise. Saving, rather than
spending, needs to become more of the mantra of the people, and
hopefully we will see a healthy balance of responsible consumers
and an economy that can shed its reliance on a consumer spending
Speaking of pulling funds out, sellers did a little of that once

Elsewhere, Visa (

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
The Associates for Biblical Research (ABR) is conducting the Search for Joshua's Ai: The Excavations at Khirbet el-Maqatir for which we are seeking help and partnerships from other evangelical institutions and individuals. Because of limited resources, ABR cannot effectively complete this project by itself. Therefore, educational institutions, churches, Christian ministries, corporations and private individuals are invited to participate in the endeavor.
ABR is forming a consortium of interested parties to carry out the excavation. ABR will supply the professional expertise, organization, and leadership for the project while consortium members will be called upon to provide manpower and funding. To make participation in the excavation available to as many individuals as possible, dig seasons are only two weeks in length. In conjunction with each dig, optional touring of major Biblical and archaeological sites in Israel is offered. A typical program consists of several touring options, ten days of excavating and one free day (subject to change based on participation).
As part of its mission to train others in the field archaeology, ABR conducts a Field School as an integral part of the tour and excavation. ABR recognizes that the level of funding available from prospective members of the consortium varies. Therefore, several levels of participation, with a sliding scale of benefits, have been established. Membership in the consortium is on a yearly basis.
Consortium Patron— Supports the project with an annual gift of $6,000.00 or more. Qualifies for the "Five for One" faculty participation plan for an unlimited number of faculty members. For each five students from the faculty members' institution participating in the program at full cost, one faculty member's room and board will be covered.
Consortium Sponsor— Supports the project with an annual gift of $3,000.00. Qualifies for the "Five for One" faculty participation plan for two faculty members. For each five students from the faculty members' institution participating in the program at full cost, 50 % of a faculty member's room and board will be covered, up to a total of two faculty members.
Consortium Member—Supports the project with an annual gift of $1,000.00. Groups and individuals who become Consortium Members will be recognized in pertinent ABR publications.
Our consortium package allows for these different levels of participation, depending upon the interests and objectives of your institution. Levels of participation can be customized to fit the unique circumstances of your school. This project is being conducted with the highest level of academic rigor, and most importantly, with fidelity to the Scriptures as the inerrant and authoritative Word of God.
Please contact Henry B. Smith Jr., ABR Director of Development, for more information on how your organization can be involved in one of the most exciting archaeological and apologetic projects ever!
In 2014, ABR will also be supported by Southern Evangelical Seminary.
We are very grateful to these institutions for their commitment to ABR and the authority of the Bible!
Consortium Brochure
ABR is closely monitoring the violence in Israel and the Palestinian controlled territories. While the violence is often contained in the Hamas controlled Gaza Strip and the coastal region of Israel, it has now spilled over into East Jerusalem and the West Bank where the Khirbet el-Maqatir excavation is located. Americans and other westerners are almost never the focus of violence, but we have growing concerns over the security for our guards and other Israeli staff members. Based on these developments, the Winter Dig has been canceled for 2015. There is a possibility that the Maqatir excavations may be postponed in May-June 2016. Presently, we are moving forward with our plans in prayer, as the situation could subside in the coming months. We are working on alternative plans to excavate elsewhere in Israel in 2016, such as Shiloh, Gezer, or the Temple Mount Sifting Project. These projects are all in very safe areas of Israel. If we decide to move our project to Shiloh, this would be a new ABR dig and would hopefully span several years. In any of these cases, we plan to take a group to Israel this coming summer.
While we are being careful to exercise due diligence with wisdom, we have a strong sense of God's providential hand guiding us as we plan for the future. We are confident that ABR will be excavating in Israel this summer, and we are excited about the possibility of you joining us. Please join us in prayer for peace in Israel and for wisdom in making these important decisions concerning our excavations.

Additional Information
Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

New Mexico Watchdog has learned that Jason Marks has opened an exploratory committee to look at running for state Attorney General in 2014.
"I'm testing the waters," Marks — who just concluded two terms on the Public Regulation Commission — said late Tuesday afternoon (Feb. 19).
An attorney based in Albuquerque and a Democrat, Marks is the first person to go on record as a potential candidate to take over for current Attorney General Gary King, who is wrapping up his second term as the state's top law enforcement official.
King has announced he will run for the Democratic Party nomination for governor next year against Republican Gov. Susana Martinez.
"New Mexico needs a strong attorney general who will stand up for ordinary people at the legislature and in the courts and stand up for corporate accountability and honest government," Marks said.
Marks' exploratory committee is based in Albuquerque and has lined up Ken Sanchez as its treasurer.
In his eight years at the PRC, Marks prided himself on battling PNM for lower rate increases for electricity customers across the state and in the past year has advocated for reforming the PRC and establishing stronger qualifications for commissioners at the agency that has experienced a history of members who have run afoul of the law.

Fig.5 shows the differences in the Salon's on-axis response due to the tweeter-level control being set to its "±1" positions. This can be seen to shelve the tweeter range up or down by almost exactly 1dB.
Fig.5 Revel Salon, effect of front-tweeter level control, set to "±1" and normalized to the HF-axis response (5dB/vertical div.).
When you look at the way in which the Salon's response changes to the sides of the tweeter axis (fig.6), you can see that there is a slight off-axis flare in the exact region between 3kHz and 4kHz where there is also a slight suckout on-axis. In normal-sized rooms and at normal listening distances, the Salon's perceived balance should be flat.
Fig.6 Revel Salon, lateral response family at 50", normalized to response on tweeter axis, from back to front: differences in response 90 degrees-5 degrees off-axis; reference response; differences in response 5 degrees-90 degrees off-axis..

This is perhaps the worst park we have encountered in our 8 years of RVing. It is also the only RV park that we left before spending the night. We did pay for the night, but given the conditions, we were not concerned with a refund. We just wanted to escape this place as quickly as possible. We felt unsafe. We probably stayed a couple of hours, which was time enough to dump our tanks, take on water, and clean the windshield. We ended up spending the night in a Flying J down the road. The park is old and appears to be poorly maintained. The roads are dirt, as are the sites. There is little in the way of grass. There are some large shade trees. The majority of residents appear to be permanent, and many of their units are old and in poor repair. When I plugged into the 50 amp pull-through site we were assigned, the power was 123 volts in one leg and 109 volts in the other. Obviously, something was wrong. I reported this to the office and the elderly owner came over and said nothing was wrong with the power and that it was my surge protector that was the problem. I knew that was not the case and told him so. I won't go into the details of what happened next, but suffice it to say, we felt unsafe and left. Even without the electrical issue, this is a horrible park with dusty roads, a rude and unreasonable owner, and rundown permanent units in most of the spaces. Avoid this place, and stay at a city park, a rest stop, a truck stop… but don't stay here! Be sure to read some of the previous poor reviews on this park. We wish we had. - ghatfield

Narrow road leading to the park, and even narrower entrance road! Once inside the sites are shaded and wide. Nice couple own/run the park. It could be much better with a little work. The exit road was much better. - wilpower

OK is an apt description. Our RV had gotten stuck in mud and gravel at the other RV campground/ "resort" in town, and after that scare, we called Green Valley. They guided us to a very compact pull-through and as the place has been there 40 years, we didn't sink. The owners are older so perhaps that's part of the disrepair, but they are nice. We wouldn't go out of our way to stay in Glendive again, but for one night, it was fine and economical. - kimberlyg

Have stayed here numerous times and for the area it is my favorite, but I'm fine with no hookups or showers . Always have stopped here late September to early October so the lack of shade isn't a problem, would guess it to be very hot in the summer.
Main reason I like it is the badlands vista and lack of traffic. I'm sure the fact that its well past peak camping season adds to this .
This campground or Sully Creek in Medora are routinely my first night from, and or my last night on my way home from an annual trip to the Beartooths, Yellowstone, Tetons, etc. - Twinpups

This is a great vista, badlands setting and the views are great. The downside is that there is no water or service of any kind, except vault toilets. The RV area is asphalt with only one spot that has any shade to speak of and if that is occupied (which it was when we were here) you will fry in the other spots. It is horribly hot in the summer on the asphalt, but would likely be super in the spring and fall when the heat wasn't so oppressive. There are water pump jack spigots, but for whatever reason they were not turned on. Also, it is unfortunate that no one has planted trees to offer shade. The view is great, but you need to decide if primitive camping is for you, especially in the extreme heat of July. The primitive camping isn't bad, however no shade in the heat of the day is a booger. Were it not for that or if we could have been in the only spot with trees we would have stayed more than one night. - marker82

If you can go without hookups for a day or two, this is a great place to stay. Beautiful surroundings out every window. An excellent trail through the badlands. - noyes10

It's only up 22% since I mentioned it here. Up 12.5% today. I didn't buy it for a quick trade though. It's a good multi-year growth story IMO.
Nice gain but I missed that one.Can't buymem all.Any idea how many such systems they've sold besides this order?Mako Surgical said it's secured a binding commitment for 11 robotic orthopedic surgery systems that use its proprietary Restoris implants for minimally invasive knee replacement procedures. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.>Keep us posted.

Satish Kaushik, who is directing "Gang Of Ghosts", the Hindi remake of Bengali film "Bhooter Bhabishyat", says it was a conscious decision to keep out the original cast, and retain only Parambrata Chatterjee from it.
"Bhooter Bhabishyat", released in 2012, is one of Bengali cinema's biggest hits of all times. It is about ghosts in an old bungalow who refuse to evict their abode to make way for a shopping mall.
From the original cast of the blockbuster directed by Anik Dutta, only Parambrata, who made a strong impact as Vidya Balan's cop-companion in the cruel climate of Kolkata in "Kahaani", will be seen in the remake.
It is understood that the producers of the remake - Venus and Ratan Jain, made a conscious decision to keep out the original Bengali cast.
"We wanted to completely revamp, restructure the original Bengali film which is hilarious, but not suited to a pan-India market. So we have changed the cast completely," said Kaushik.
So, on board are actors like Sharman Joshi, Mahie Gill, Anupam Kher, Saurabh Shukla, Rajpal Yadav, Chunky Pandey, Asrani, Vijay Verma, Yashpal Sharma, Rajesh Khattar and Jackie Shroff.
"Only Parambrata has been repeated from the original cast," added Kaushik.
Parambrata, it might be noted, made a notable impact as Vidya's silent lover in "Kahaani". Thereafter, he was slated to play a major role in the Hindi remake of the Malayalam hit "Traffic" and also a UTV film co-produced by Nikhil Advani where Parambrata was to play against Abhishek Bachchan.
Neither of the projects materialised.
The shooting of "Gang Of Ghosts" starts May 2. It will wrap up in June.
With "Gang Of Ghosts", Parambrata gets a chance to prove there is room for another Bengali hero after Mithun Chakraborty to make it to the top in Bollywood.
