Well located appartment near to metrostations . Buth it is NOT a luxery appartment . The kichen is equiped with old machines and kichenware. The watercooker didn't work . 2 water and 1 wine glas for two persons . There is hardly enougf furniture for two persons ( one double bed , a small divan and a salon table ; NO dining table and NO chairs The surface of the appartment is NOT 50 m2 ! The real dimentions are 2,75m large by 9,75m lengt = less than 30m2 .The appartment is not suiteble for 4 persons as mentioned on the WIMDU site. This appartment is more expensif than the 4 stars hotelroom with breakfast near the imperial palace that I initialy booked for the same period ! The description off this appartment on the WIMDU site doesn't justifie the price I paid . We didn't even met the owner during our stay !
Very easy to get to. Literally about 3 minutes walk from the train station at Otsuka. A very central place to explore from. The apartment was larger than the pictures give credit and was very comfortable to live in for the 2 weeks that my 3 friends and i stayed for. The pocket wifi was invaluable and very helpful for navigating around Tokyo.
Thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Japan and would definitely recommend staying there. Looking forward to my next trip to Japan and staying there again.
the apartment was very comfortable, the contact with Anne was very nice and helpfully. The Apartment is very near at the station and very easy to find. I stayed with my 2 friends for 3 weeks.
only the volume from the road and from the ground during the night was very annoying, so we closed the window overnight. But it was perfect to stay ;)
I can recommend everyone this apartment
for my next trip to Tokyo with friends I will book it again.
Thank you very much Anne, for staying in your apartment =)
great location (near JR station)
clean and cozy room.
but a bit to small for 4 adult person (the sleeping couch was very uncomfortable after 1 week).
would book again but only with girlfriend.
The apartment was tidy, clean and comfortable. The notes given by Anne are useful to find the place without any problem. 100% recommendable
Keys not personally, but lasted 1hr by number code and mailbox in Apartment.Hat CA are both found the house and the Schlussel was obtained.
Apartment very clean and well maintained, top equipped, there was even a pocket wifi (mobile WLAN device), highly recommended !!!
Schlüsselübergabe nicht persönlich,sondern mittels Zahlencode und Postfach im Apartment.Hat ca 1 Std gedauert bist sowohl das Haus gefunden als auch der Schlussel erhalten wurde.
Apartment sehr sauber und gepflegt,Top ausgestattet,es gab sogar ein pocket wifi (mobiles Wlan-Gerät),sehr empfehlenswert!!!
Great location, right next to major train station so easy to get from airport and around Tokyo and lots of eateries around the area. Apartment clean and comfortable for the two of us. We were able to cook for ourselves in the apartment which was great. I forgot to print map to find apartment on first night, so found it really hard to locate (brief directions on the email would have been helpful - ie next block from MOS Burgers, go around back and mailboxes on ground level). I would stay here again.
L'appartamento è piccolo (ca 30 mq ) ma comodissimo, a pochi passi dalla stazione di Otsuka sulla Yamanoteline (JR) in zona tranqulla. Facilissimo da trovare con le istruzioni spedite da Anne. L'appartamento è più adatto a due persone anche se sono presenti un letto matrimoniale + un divano letto. Presente piccolo tavolo basso e due sedie, scomodo per pranzare. Cucina equipaggiata con 2 fuochi, sono inoltre disponibii: un fornetto per scaldare brioche o tostare il pane, un bollitore, un cuoci riso e un miscroonde; lava-asciuga, asse/ferro stiro, phon, aspirapolvere. Sono disponibili: piatti, scodelle, bicchieri, tazze, posate e bachette; mancano tovagliette. Sono disponibili solo due pentoline con coperchio. Il bagno è diviso in tre aree: un locale per doccia e bagno, un locale con water, ed un area con lavabo: presenti doccia-shampo, balsamo e sapone mani. Disponibli: asciugamani, lenzuola e strofinacci. Non abbamo incontratto il proprietario, ma non è stato un problema.
Je déconseille cet appartement
Très difficile à trouver caché dans deux petits rue vraiment pas évident à trouver sans l'aide d'un couple japonais je n'aurais jamais trouvé l'appartement
Car Anne Ne répondez jamais aux appels
Une fois mon arrivée l'appartement n'était vraiment pas les description de l'annonce
La superficie n'ai pas de 50 mais 30 m² ayant un appartement de 50 m² j'ai tout de suite fait la différence....
Très difficile pour une vie à quatre surtout que le canapé peut contenir qu'une personne Adulte
Une hôte absente qui a aucun moment est prêt de ses convives
L'appartement ne mérite vraiment pas le prix indiqué
- Quality assured accommodation
- Every host is verified by telephone
- Secure payment via SSL encryption

The way Arkansans farm and how the state regulates water quality are at stake in a lawsuit filed against the Environmental Protection Agency by environmental groups; a suit in which Arkansas' attorney general, the Arkansas Farm Bureau Federation and other agricultural advocacy groups have filed motions to intervene.
On July 24, the National Agricultural Law Center is hosting a webinar to discuss the background of the case and its potential effects on farming, municipalities and others in Arkansas and throughout the Mississippi River Basin, estimated by some to comprise as much as 40 percent of the U.S. landmass.
"We'll lay out the chronology of this issue, mainly focusing on the 2008 petition filed by environmental groups to EPA, and similar activity in Florida," said Harrison Pittman, director of the National Agricultural Law Center, part of the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. "We'll also tie in the parallels between this current lawsuit and the National Cotton Council case that forced EPA to change its regulatory approach to aquatic pesticides under the Clean Water Act."
Pittman said he and co-presenter Grant Ballard, a Banks Law Firm associate and research consultant with the National Agricultural Law Center, will describe "in non-wonkish detail" what "narrative" versus "numeric" standards mean in terms of the Clean Water Act and pollution.
There is no charge to attend. Participating in the webinar is very easy. At the noon eastern/11 a.m. start time, simply click here: https://connect.extension.iastate.edu/aglaw and sign in as a guest.
The webinar is provided with generous support by the Banks Law Firm, PLLC. The Banks Firm has provided a gift on behalf of the National Agricultural Law Center to create a premier legal education presentation series focused on southern agricultural producers and to help promote the 25th anniversary of the Center. This webinar is a part of those efforts.
For more information about the webinar, visit http://www.nationalaglawcenter.org/outreach/CWAEPA/.

From the outside looking in, Juliette Fay looked like she had it all, a wonderful husband, a growing family, nice home, ok you get it - had it all. But the truth was Juliette was tired of spending her day wiping...yes, I said wiping - wiping everything from little bottoms to dirty faces to countertops. Like many Moms, Juliette wondered, was this the life she had dreamed, was this really her life?
Juliette received a bachelor's degree in human development and theology from Boston College in 1984. Upon graduation she began a year-long stint in the Jesuit Volunteer Corps in Seattle, Washington where she served as an emergency shelter worker, and was very quickly treated to the bleak realities of homelessness. Juliette spent two more years in Seattle and co-founded a childcare center for children of homeless families. Returning to the Boston area she continued her career in human services, which included teaching at a school for autistic children, working at a state child abuse prevention agency, and running a parenting education program. She also waitressed quite a lot to supplement her often laughable income. In 1992 she received a master's degree in public policy from the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Along the way she met and married her husband Tom, also a former Jesuit Volunteer, now an attorney in Boston. They have four elementary- to high-school-aged children. Juliette took time off from work in state and municipal government after her third child was born, and always assumed a return to that career path lay somewhere in her future.
However in 2005, with the youngest then two, fate intervened when she read a really bad book. It made her wonder if she couldn't do a little better—if she could just commit to paper the stories that seemed to run in her head like movie marathons on a daily basis. She began tapping away at her computer each day while the younger kids napped, between the fights over who pinched who first, and late at night after the older kids had wrestled their homework to the ground.
Shelter Me [3], Juliette's first published novel, was designated as one of the ten best works of fiction in 2009 by the Massachusetts Center for the Book, an affiliate of the Library of Congress. It was also named to the Indie Next List of the American Booksellers Association, was chosen as one of six novels for Target's 2009 Bookmarked Club, and was a Good Housekeeping featured Book Pick.
Diva Toolbox [4]contributor, Juliette Faye's next novel, Deep Down True [5], follows different characters with new problems and successes. It will be released in January 2011 by Viking Penguin.
Writing fiction is by far the best job she's ever had.

The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration Fundraiser will be held from 5 to 9 p.m. Oct. 3 at Cowboy Up, 1036 Lafferty Lane, Dover.
Anyone with a family member or friend suffering from dementia are invited to attend. The theme is "Food For Thought," according to Eugenia "Gene" Thornton, who, along with friends, created the evening on behalf of Don Jagger, her husband of 37 years. Don, 65, after years of increasing dementia-related problems, was recently diagnosed with FTD, a fatal disease that affects the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain.
The purpose of the event is not to raise money for Don but rather for the Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration's efforts to bring FTD and dementia-related illnesses to public attention.
Celebrity bartenders, country line dancing, a 50/50 raffle and more will be available. Raffle prizes will include an oil change, a bouquet, a case of Fordham soda, dog training lessons, a day on Andrews Lake, and tickets to Cowboy Up's Country Jam. Bartending tips and 10 percent of the entire day's food sales at Cowboy Up will be donated to the association.

By SHAWN RINE
For The Times Leader
WHEELING - Wednesday night was all about numbers for rookie Wheeling goaltender Mike Condon. None was more important than four, which is the total combination of points the Nailers need to qualify for the Kelly Cup playoffs.
Condon turned away all 31 shots he faced to tie the franchise record for shutouts in a season with five, as the Nailers (37-25-6 - 80) beat the Toledo Walleye for the sixth consecutive time, 3-0, at WesBanco Arena. Condon, who also blanked the Walleye Tuesday night and won for the 21st time, has not allowed a goal at home in 225:54, and his overall streak sits at 1:25:57, helping Wheeling roll off nine victories in its last 10 games.
The Nailers are seventh in the Eastern Conference, but are four points ahead of eighth-place Fort Wayne for the final playoff spot, and one behind Cincinnati and Greenville for the fifth spot. All three teams, though, have at least one game in hand on Wheeling.
"Personal accolades are great and all, but right now I am so much happier we got another win and another two points," said Condon, who equaled the marks of Dany Sabourin (2004-2005) and Andy Franck (2004-2005).
"Sometimes it looks like a beach ball and other days it looks like BB. I had three posts (Tuesday) night in the third and got hit in the face three times (Wednesday), so I am not sure if it's blind luck or what.
"I don't ask any questions and thank the stars."
Christiaan Minella provided his 10th goal in 19 games this season, while Tyler Fernandez (12th) and Tom Kuhnhackl (sixth) took care of the other two. In all, nine different Nailers found the scoresheet in another display of what has become a wealth of depth.
"I was looking at our stat sheet (Tuesday) and we don't have one guy that has 40, 50 goals and then everyone is spread out," said forward Chaz Johnson, who extended his point streak to seven with a second-period assist. "We've got a bunch of guys in double-digits and it's always good to have a deep lineup because on any night it can be any line, and in the playoffs you need that."
But back to those numbers.
The Walleye (21-41-5 - 47), despite being out of the playoff picture for some time, entered the two-game set in Wheeling with the No. 1-ranked road power play in the league. They limped home with an 0-for-11 streak, and without much of anything in the way of quality chances with the man advantage.
"We're working a lot in practice at coming into the D-zone and stopping with the sticks in the right position," said Kuhnhackl, who has 12 points in 12 games with the team. "We play the same system in Wilkes-Barre and everything is so simple, so that's obviously an advantage for me."
Regardless of what anyone does out of town, Wheeling can secure a playoff bid with victories Friday against Evansville, which is alive, but only by a thread, and Saturday against Orlando. Both are at home and begin at 7 p.m.
"We've got 4-in-5 this week and then just the two in Cincinnati," Coach Clark Donatelli said. "The good thing is we're home and not traveling.
"The guys are doing a real good job of managing the puck and with their shift management and not getting caught tired out there."
For Johnson, the formula is simple.
"We control our own destiny. We're not focusing on who's playing who," he said. "We do have a lot of games, but that's the business and we're in good shape.
"As deep as we are and as physical as we are, I wouldn't want to play against us."

Fix found in: http://martijnvanbeek.net/weblog/56/… -- this link only describes the problem for IE7 and not specificly AMF, but it also works for IE6
FYI: In holland, SSL certificates are mandatory by law, hence the requirement to perform AMF requests over SSL.

House won't vote before midnight on 'cliff' deal
Published: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 11:10 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 31, 2012 at 7:36 p.m.
WASHINGTON — The House will miss the midnight Monday deadline lawmakers set for voting to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
House Republicans notified lawmakers that the chamber will vote Monday evening on other bills. They say that will be their only votes of the day.
President Barack Obama and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday they are near a deal to avoid wide-ranging tax increases and spending cuts -- the fiscal cliff -- that take effect with the new year.
Both men said they were still bargaining over whether -- and how -- to avoid $109 billion in cuts to defense and domestic programs that take effect on Wednesday.
It remained unclear whether the Senate would vote Monday.
Congress could pass later legislation retroactively blocking the tax hikes and spending cuts.

Investment in services yields early insights and results; company launches online repository of resources for addressing customers' top business concerns in information management
Tokyo, Japan, JP, October 27, 2011 - Ricoh Company, Ltd., a worldwide leader in digital office equipment and advanced document management solutions and services, today announced Ricoh Managed Document Services™ (Ricoh MDS) 2.0, born from an in-depth analysis of customer engagements and focused on measurable results.MDS 2.0 represents significant early progress in the evolution of the services-led business model Ricoh unveiled in January 2011, as it made a three-year commitment to enhance its global MDS infrastructure. The strategy shift was intended to leverage the power of improved document workflows and document management so that customers can concentrate on their business goals and bottom lines.As part of Ricoh MDS 2.0, Ricoh today unveiled a new global website that serves as a source of information and guidance to help customers achieve their business goals through Ricoh Managed Document Services. The site includes case studies, white papers and videos, delivering this content via a customized user experience.Defining the Ricoh MDS challengeThrough its global MDS engagements, Ricoh has scrutinized thousands of projects and pinpointed customers' top business concerns in managed print services (MPS), which is the foundation of "Ricoh MDS, MPS and Beyond™." These concerns have yielded a new Ricoh MDS delivery structure focused tightly on producing desired outcomes in these areas. The top identified concerns are cost control, environmental sustainability, information security and governance, business process efficiency, organizational change management, information worker (iWorker) productivity, information optimization and strategic infrastructure. Ricoh MDS 2.0 defines the services and deliverables that map directly to each concern to help customers achieve measurable and sustainable business outcomes."We applied our expertise and sharpened our focus on what customers need, even when they can't articulate their requirements in so many words," said Sergio Kato, Associate Director of Ricoh Company, Ltd. and General Manager of Global MDS Center. "Our refined service delivery methodology is designed to better help customers meet their business objectives while retaining the flexibility they need to overcome their unique challenges."Ricoh MDS Adaptive ModelUsing these new insights, Ricoh has streamlined its delivery framework, producing a new, simpler five-phased Adaptive Model. With the customer at the center, the first phase – Understand – begins with an expert assessment of the customer's "current state." The Improve phase includes the design of a "desired state." The Transform phase focuses on deployment, the Govern phase ensures all objectives are met, and the Optimize phase addresses ongoing improvements and sustained savings. The new model strengthens the three stages of partnership engagement: Project Management led by PMI®- and PRINCE2®-certified Ricoh project managers who follow globally accepted best practices to track, manage and measure each engagement; Service Management led by ITIL®/ISO 20000-1-certified professionals who ensure the newly transformed environment is effectively governed and optimized; and Organizational Change Management, which accelerates the transition from the current to the desired state, and makes productivity gains a permanent part of the culture. This new framework creates a globally cohesive approach to executing MDS programs based entirely on the ways Ricoh customers prefer to do business. Refinements are already paying dividends: since April, Ricoh has signed more than 10 global customers, including one that operates in more than 70 countries. New sustainability servicesLeveraging Ricoh's rich history of environmental stewardship, including being named one of the "Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World" (1) for seven years in a row, Ricoh has evolved its MDS service portfolio by introducing a comprehensive set of end-to-end sustainability services. These offerings can be combined in different ways to address the unique needs of Ricoh MDS customers across the globe. They include: • analysis and definition of the baseline carbon footprint from electricity and paper consumption;• creation of an optimization design with measurable reduction targets;• implementation of the design along with education and training; • governance and monitoring of sustainability performance to identify and action any gaps between actual performance and defined targets; and• guidance for balancing any remaining and unavoidable carbon footprint (EU market only). "We're detecting a deepening demand among our customers for sustainability, which has become an integral part of a business's brand as well as an ethical imperative," said Ike Kakegawa, Vice President, Environmental Sustainability, Ricoh Americas Corporation. "As we have demonstrated for years, sustainability is squarely in our domain: documents, records and electronic information have significant implications for a company's environmental performance on a number of levels. Further, reducing our customers' environmental footprint is an integral part of Ricoh's strategy to achieve our social responsibility goals."Ricoh has delivered custom MDS solutions to customers around the world.

At a time when 20-something men are embracing vintage threads and old-school brands like Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and Old Spice grooming products, reaching into a clothing company's storied past could be a smart marketing strategy.
Haggar Clothing Co. is betting on it. A leading maker of men's casual, dress, and tailored clothing—and one of Dallas' iconic hometown brands—Haggar has begun highlighting the company's 87-year history and its many notable innovations in the pants business. Back in 1938, Haggar coined the term "slacks," for casual pants worn during "slack" time away from work. Two years later the company introduced the first pre-cuffed pants, which did away with the need for tailoring. In 1952, the company launched the first wrinkle-free pants, while signing up Mickey Mantle as its "Forever Prest" pitchman. And then there was Haggar's 1970 invention—doubleknits—which pushed the company to become the No. 1 pants brand in America.
It's a colorful history and, to CEO Michael Stitt, reconnecting with it has multiple purposes. "We are trying to energize the team and develop this entrepreneurial spirit," he says. "I want to create an environment where people are passionate and engaged."
Invoking the company's past, which is on display in posters throughout its Luna Road headquarters, reminds the roughly 170 employees in the building how dynamic the company has been since Joseph M. Haggar, a Lebanese immigrant, opened a one-room office in 1926. Within two years, he had 500 workers churning out 75,000 pairs of pants a year.
In 2005, Joe Haggar III and the company's board sold Haggar for a reported $212 million. It now is owned by Perseus LLC, a merchant bank and private equity company, along with a unit of Pou Chen Group, a Taiwan-based shoe manufacturer. But Stitt wants to rekindle some of the old-fashioned drive and spirit that made the then-family owned business successful in the first place.
After running the company's Canadian subsidiary for 13 years, Stitt was promoted to chief executive in April 2012, rising to his position at a time when Haggar has been stable and profitable. It has a market-leading core business in men's dress pants, where it's No. 1, and in casual pants, where it's second only to Levi Strauss & Co.'s Dockers brand. Still, Stitt says, there was a sense the company could be performing at a higher level.
"When I came in I had detailed discussions with the board about setting a clear strategic direction for this company," says Stitt, whose rapid, energetic delivery betrays just a hint of a Canadian accent. "We need to protect our core 'bottoms' business, in which we're market leaders, and then find other business units that we can grow and develop."
Toward that end, he made some changes in the executive team and has been using a hands-on approach to try to improve employee engagement and the overall workplace atmosphere. The Great Recession, which made for some lean years in the middle-market men's clothing world, and a series of CEOs—three in seven years—had taken its toll on company morale. "Within a few months of being here I saw the results of an employee survey, and basically morale was a three or four out of 10," he recalls. Reasons for employee dissatisfaction included "everything from pay and benefits to [not] knowing the company's strategic direction to job security."
Stitt approached his board and received approval for company-wide pay raises, which were given earlier this year. And rather than passing on health insurance cost increases to employees, the company absorbed this year's hike and cut worker premiums by 25 percent.
"For me, it has always been clear the associates drive the business," Stitt says. "To show the team we believe in them, we also needed a well-defined bonus plan tied to [earnings]. The more profit, the more everyone's going to share."
Stitt "moves fast," Zuckerman says. "His team is always on high alert."
Stitt "moves fast," Zuckerman says. "His team is always on high alert."
Those who've worked with the Haggar CEO in the past say high-energy, high-ambition has always been his style. And he has some lofty goals for Haggar as well. "I'm not one to say, 'The market's growing at 2-3 percent, so we'll do that,'" Stitt says. "I'm thinking 10, 15, 20 percent. What do we need to do to get to those kinds of levels?"
At the same time, he says, he'd like to see Haggar become the best company to work for in Dallas. A more recent employee survey showed he's not there yet. Employee ratings have risen across the board, but some only fractionally. "It wasn't crazy improvement, but it was meaningful," Stitt says. "Clearly there's more to be done. I'm a big believer in continuous improvement."

Emergencies can occur at any time. Being prepared is the best strategy for you and your family. Would you be able to be self sufficient for a minimum of 72-hours while emergency workers care for critically injured individuals?
It is best practice to be prepared to be self sufficient for at least 72-hours. Also, planning for reunification with your family and loved ones will quickly provide piece of mind to begin focusing on recovery.
The following information is intended to help you prepare yourself and your family for handling an emergency. By taking a few simples steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies at anytime.
Know Your Risks and Make a Plan
The Provincial Emergency Preparedness program has compiled information to assist in preparing yourself and your family for an emergency.
Public Safety Canada's Get Prepared brochure has useful information for helping you and your family become self sufficient for 72hrs.
Personal Preparedness Kit (Suggestion for 72hrs):
Store in easily portable containers, e.g. backpacks, luggage on wheels, totes, hockey bags, near exit doors or in your garage for quick access. Consider a similar kit for your vehicle
* After an earthquake it would not be unrealistic to have to completely fend for yourself for up to four weeks.
** Several retailers and NGOs offer pre-made 72-hr kits for sale in BC.

That's what I getting at, PD is almost an exception to the norm with regards to mods. In the early days it was like any other forum but with a collection of power users it became self-governed without the need of banhammers and thread locking except for the occasional times where the mods actually did do such things.
A lot of new people took the regular users to be flamers when we said "stop being a faggot" but it was just a way to point out to them that they were being obnoxious. And then you had members like Jay who took it too personally and got Mr. Neopets back as his personal 'adult' to demand order on the playground.

My mother has been receiving care from a home hospice organization for a year and 10 months, to those fine folks' consternation (the average is 10 days). We play Scrabble so much, I can't read the paper without thinking, Crux—I should make that word next time I get an X and a C. I can buy clothes for her now. It's as if I couldn't before because I never noticed what she wore. I ignore her lifelong aversion to being touched—the woman has never had a manicure!—and muss her hair playfully, getting a big surprised smile. I even tease her about backseat driving. (She says, "What are you waiting for?" I say, "For there to be no other cars on the road at all. Safer that way.") I got her a toy wheel for her side of the car. Last week she said, "You never called up and asked me for cooking advice." When I stopped laughing, I said, "Mom, why would I do that? You cook badly, and I don't cook at all." I reminded her that we used to say, "This is good. Just like Mom used to try to make."
Her friends envy her—so many daughters! I think this time in hospice has been among my mother's happiest, because we are no longer judging her needs or feeling bullied by them, but simply doing our best to do what she wants. "Everybody's being so nice to me," she says. "Somebody must have raised us well," I answer.
Yesterday, for the first time ever, I said, "I love you, Mom," as if I'd been saying it to her all her life. And she said back, "I love you too, even though you let the cat out."
The author's mother passed away as this article went to press.

The international planning process initiated by the Office of Global Strategy involves numerous voices from the campus community—including faculty, staff, and students—as well as a number of others from outside the university who envision a more internationalized Case Western Reserve.
To put these plans in motion, the provost has charged the International Planning Committee with examining the current state of internationalization at the university, identifying best practices, projecting future trends in globalization and developing strategic goals for the next three to five years and beyond. The committee will present its full report and recommendations to the provost. Review a progress report.
A number of working groups support the International Planning Committee. Learn more about these working groups and the charge of each group.
The American Council on Education has been engaged to advise the International Planning Committee throughout the planning process. The ACE Center for International Initiatives has extensive experience in helping higher education institutions enhance internationalization. Case Western Reserve is a member of the 2010-11 cohort of the ACE Internationalization Laboratory.

Can your community afford adaptive traffic control?
Most vendors roll the first two years of service and support into the purchase price, so make sure you ask customers for both initial and annual operating costs. Use your research on costs and in-field performance to develop best-, average-, and worst-case scenarios for each product. This method puts the initial cost in terms of an investment. Thus, Product A is the least expensive option but represents the worst long-term investment. Depending on your risk tolerance, you might decide that the most important consideration is to avoid failure on the magnitude of the worst-case scenarios below (especially Product A). You might strive for the best-case performance (Product C), but be willing to accept that a consistently strong performance (Product B) is the best of both worlds: maximum results with minimal downside risk.
Adaptive traffic control solutions (ATCS) are an artificial intelligence product enabling traffic signals to adapt to actual, real-time demand rather than sticking to a fixed schedule. By giving vehicles the green light when and where necessary, "smart" signals can provide a 40-to-1 return on investment through reduced travel times, fuel usage, emissions, and accidents.
Many products claim adaptive signal control functionality, but broadly defined the technology is "intelligence that dynamically and quickly adjusts the behavior of one traffic signal or a network of traffic signals based on observed conditions." This means the signal changes how much green light time is given to each approach, how often each approach gets the green signal, and the relationship between the green signals at adjacent intersections.
A product can be as simple as a piece of software or as extensive as a bundled package of controllers, processors, servers, and detection devices. Vendors combine the following elements in a number of ways.
Vehicle detection methodology. This is the greatest point of differentiation and has the most impact on cost.
Find out what type (inductive loop, video, magnetometer, radar) and how many (stop-bar, advance, mid-block, departure; critical and noncritical movements) detectors are necessary for optimal performance and whether the solution includes some or all of the required detection. Look for one that comes with detectors or works with your operation's existing detection methods.
Compatibility with existing resources. The more a solution integrates with your operation's signal cabinets and controllers, detection devices, communications, and central software, the less you pay.
Level of sophistication. "Complex" doesn't necessarily equal "smart." Avoid hype and ask about the model of the adaptive algorithm. What does the model try to accomplish? How does it make those decisions?
Communication network type, bandwidth, protocol, and reliability. Adaptive solutions don't include the critical component that enables signals to "talk" to each other and the traffic control center. Most can operate on copper, wireless, or fiber-optic networks. Some can use serial communications; others require Ethernet protocol. Some include robust mechanisms to handle the interruption of communications; others have little or no backup plan.
Whether the solution relies on centralized or distributed architecture. Most use a centralized server located at the traffic control center to store data and make decisions. Solutions that make decisions at the traffic cabinet — what's known as distributed architecture — are less vulnerable to a communications failure.
How much control you can have, and how much input you must give. You don't want a black-box solution that you can't control, but you also don't want a system that needs babysitting. Some solutions require the operator to create, load, and maintain a library of timing plans the system chooses from and then downloads based on criteria; and an agency (or its consultant) can spend considerable resources building and maintaining these new timing plans.
Other solutions don't use timing plans and simply adapt to traffic dynamically.
Some solutions require active operation, while others are more set-and-forget.

ZF-2544: Add message type as argument to FlashMessenger.
Currently you can't specify what type of message you're sending with the FlashMessenger in Zend_Controller. It's just a message.
I would like to be able to differentiate the messages I'm sending via FlashMessenger (e.g. error, warning, information, tip, etc.) so users can see more clearly what's going on. Therefore I propose to enhance the addMessage method of the FlashMessenger with an additional argument that allows setting the type of message.
Change: addMessage (string $message, string $namespace)
To: addMessage (string $message, string $message_type, string $namespace)
This issue duplicates ZF-1705
Please categorize/fix as needed.
Assigning to Ralph to evaluate and schedule.
Greetings All,
FYI, I've created a PriorityMessenger - please check it out and tell me what you think? http://emanaton.com/code/php/zendprioritymessenger

Delays Not a Factor, Baseball Sweeps Dartmouth at Clarke Field
Box Score: Game One
Box Score: Game Two
It has been a wild couple of days for the Princeton baseball team, seeing its Ivy League opener versus Harvard suspended mid-game one due to rain and then its series versus Dartmouth subject to multiple postponements.
Despite the delays, the Tigers were able to respond with a doubleheader sweep over the Big Green in their first completed Ivy series of 2014. Princeton kicked off the day with a 3-0 shutout win, followed by a late rally to edge past Dartmouth, 4-3, to close out the twinbill.
Princeton (7-11, 2-0 Ivy) will have a quick turnaround, hosting Seton Hall in a midweek non-conference game Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. at Clarke Field.
Contributions were felt from numerous players, but ensuring the wins was reliever Jonathan York, who earned his third and fourth career saves in the doubleheader. York did not just see action in the final innings, but started in right field before taking over relief duties. On the mound, he pitched 2.0 hitless shutout innings with a strikeout and a walk.
At the plate sophomore Danny Hoy headlined the effort, going 5-for-7 with three runs and two RBI, including his first home run of the season.
Game One
Guided by 6.0 shutout innings from pitcher Cameron Mingo and a first inning Hoy home run, Princeton remained in control from start to finish.
With a 1-0 lead through the sixth, Princeton added a pair of insurance runs off a Paul Tupper sacrifice fly and a Zack Belski RBI single.
After five strong innings from Mingo, scattering four hits, Dartmouth poised its biggest threat in the top of the seventh. The first two batters would reach on a single and walk, before York came in and got out of a bases loaded jam with a pop up and a double play.
Mingo finished with four strikeouts in his first win of the season.
Both Princeton and Dartmouth tallied five hits, while the Big Green also gave up an error.
Game Two
Guided by its 10-hit effort and a seventh inning two-run rally, the Tigers were able to successfully earn the sweep over the Big Green.
The Tigers established the early lead, 1-0, behind a Belski RBI grounder. The freshman first baseman would finish going 2-for-3 with two RBI.
Dartmouth threatened in the third inning, leaving a bases loaded situation, but managed to score its first run at Clarke Field the following inning. Bo Patterson's sacrifice RBI sent home the tying run, 1-1.
Princeton regained its advantage, 2-1, following a Hoy RBI single to left field in the fifth. The shortstop went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI.
A battle for control ensued, seeing the Big Green respond with two runs on three hits in the sixth.
With two outs, back-to-back singles and then a wild pitch put runners on second and third. Tupper kicked off the rally with an RBI single to the pitcher and Belski followed with an RBI single up the middle. The pair of runs would be enough to sustain the Tigers' advantage.
As the offense found a late surge, reliever freshman Chad Powers held Dartmouth off the board further and went on to earn the second win of his young career over his 3.2 innings stint.
Powers faced the first batter of the ninth, before York closed it out with a pop up, strikeout and a ground out.

Somone should delete those comments for real. I mean, who cares if Lupe wants to post Kid Cudi on his website? You call Kid Cudi a sell-out, but you may as well be callin Lupe one too. And I wouldn't dare say that word about him, cuz I got all the respect in the world for what Lupe's doing. Getting out there, getting the message out, and showing people what a great lyrical and genius rapper really looks like. Aint nothing wrong with him having some dignity and standing by an artist he respects. Leave this website for those of us coming to look at what Lupe's doing, and the words that he's speaking for the betterment of the world.
ok... i have a question for exposing the wicked... why are you here ? i mean seriously, you obviously arent a fan of lupe's... you're hating on him like he's doing something wrong ????? please get over yourself and stop spamming the comments...
Man, it really is fucked up here in Detroit. They market shirts that say "I'm so tough, I Vacation in Detroit" like it's cool. Maybe a lil comedic, but our city really is that fucked up. It'll get better though, I hope anyway...

Being the middle of winter, many of you and your loved ones will experience bouts with allergies, common colds, sinus problems, the flu, and other ailments. What many of us may not realize, is that these bugs are not necessarily causing our bodies problems, but in fact, the weakness of the entire immune system. Many of you may rush to the local pharmacy to fill a quick prescription or perhaps purchase over the counter remedies. You may also come to the realization that these medications are not getting to the route of the problem, and are just merely covering up your symptoms. So what is one to do to naturally elevate the function of their immune system? Let's first discuss what things to avoid, allowing our bodies to function better.
Do not drink Orange or Grapefruit Juice
These two juices are great sources of Vitamin C. Although Vitamin C helps enhance your immune system, these 2 citrus juices in particular turn the environment in the mouth and throat into an alkaline state when in contact. Bacteria and Viruses can then thrive in these conditions.
Stop eating big meals
Consuming too much food puts extra stress on the Digestive system. Increased digestion takes a lot of the body's metabolic energy, leaving very little energy for the immune system.
Avoid Processed Foods and sugars
An increased intake in processed sugars allows bacteria to harbor growth. In fact, 8 tablespoons of sugar (the average amount found in a can of soda) can drop the immune system a whopping 400%! These sugars include, but are not limited to aspartame, high fructose corn syrup, and sucralose (Splenda).
Look for the next blog for Part II, discussing things to take and contribute to a healthy immune system.
