So far, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has only been studied during resting conditions. The aim of our study was to elucidate the immediate effects of CRT during submaximal exercise in patients with chronic heart failure.
Eleven patients (age 69±5, NYHA II-III, LVEF<30%, sinus rhythm, QRS>130msec, CRT for at least 3 months) underwent a cardiopulmonary exercise test using the modified bruce protocol (treadmill; 4.6 METS). Heart rate (HR), the rate of increase of minute ventilation per unit of increase of oxygen consumption (VE/VO2 slope), respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and respiratory minute ventilation (VE) were evaluated during a 3 minute exercise period followed by a 10-minute resting period. Measurements were taken during right- (RV), left- (LV), and biventricular pacing (CRT)as well as during sinus rhythm. Physical recovery in-between the different pacing modes was proven by normalized blood lactate levels.
VE/VO2 was highest during sinus rhythm and decreased significantly during CRT (from 34.2±5.6 to 30.7±4.2; P<0.05). By contrast, RV and LV pacing did not show significant effects. Interestingly, responders to CRT (n=6, defined as a > 10% decrease in VE/VO2) had significant higher basal VE/VO2 levels (37.6±6.9) as compared to non-responders (30.0±4.9; P<0.05; n=5). RER was higher during sinus rhythm (0.81±0.07) as compared to CRT (0.76±0.04; P<0.05). VE, HR and blood lactate levels did not show any changes within different pacing modes as compared to sinus rhythm.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy exerts an increase in oxygen uptake during submaximal exercise. This effect is due to an improvement in cardiac performance.
Thus, hemodynamic responders to CRT may be identified by spiroergometry.

By FRANCO PANIZO
If Josh Gatt is looking to make the U.S. Men's National Team's final roster for the upcoming Gold Cup, he certainly helped his cause on Wednesday.
Gatt enjoyed a goal-scoring performance as his club, Molde FK, routed Ranheim, 6-0, in their fourth round NM Cupen match. Gatt scored the second goal of the game and his first across all competitions this season in the 17th minute when he pounced on a ball just outside of the six-yard box following a nifty dribbling run that penetrated Ranheim's shoddy defense. The 21-year-old was subbed off after 57 minutes with the score at 5-0.
The timing of the goal could not have been much better for Gatt, who U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann included in his provisional 35-man roster for next month's Gold Cup. Klinsmann has said previously that he is planning on bringing players who are in a rhythm to the CONCACAF tournament, and Gatt may fit that description given that the speedy winger with two international caps to his name is in season and fresh off of scoring for the first time in the current campaign.
You can see Gatt's goal against Ranheim here.
What do you think of Gatt's finish? Do you see him going on a tear now? Think he will make the USMNT's final Gold Cup roster?
Share your thoughts below.
Nice goal and he basically created a second one on his missed shot. That being said, as lost as we've been in how well the USMNT has been playing, i have to admit that i'm a little concerned that none of our "next generation" guys have yet to the turn the corner to bigger things: Gyau, Gatt, Wood, etc. They are all basically in the same position they were two years or so ago. I know things are going great with our national team now, but we really need one of these guys to blossom if we don't want the cupboard bare in a few years. Keep it up Gatt!!
Mike R
The only bright spot I that Mexicos next generation the so called golden generation isn't working out either.
John McCain
Not really a bright spot. We want them to be good so that the soccer level in Concacaf improves.
Old School
Mexico is always going to be solid. Whether or not they have a supposed "Golden Generation" isn't going to make Josh Gatt better.
However, the rest of CONCACAF is improving dramatically, in large part, due to MLS and the players it employs.
Smackey the Frog
100% correct, Senator.
That's not really a bright spot. Mexico's two (and maybe 3) losses in the Confederations Cup will reflect poorly on CONCACAF.
I don't think it's as linear as that. Will Japan's 2 losses reflect badly on Europe? When Nigreia is outclassed in it's next two games will that set CAF football back?
It's a tourney and sometimes teams hit the right stride and sometimes they don't. In the grand scheme of things (forgoing the what-have-you-done-for-me-lately fan approach), CONCACAF represented itself quite well in the last CC, the Olympics and some youth tournaments.
You want your confederation champ to do well, yes. But one bad tournament does not set us back.
Personally I want El Tri to get out of this funk before we meet them in September. I want to beat them when they are at their best.
LOL – correction "Will Japan's two losses reflected poorly on Asia".
Haha. Good point though. Japan doing well or poorly really only reflects on Japan. If Japan won this tournament, no one would be talking about the AFC – they'd be talking about Japan. If, say, Japan and South Korea both make the quarters next summer, then we'll be talking about Asia. Similarly, Mexico's struggles don't reflect poorly on the rest of CONCACAF. You need multiple teams to do particularly well or poorly for people to start thinking in regional terms.
One strong World Cup for the region would probably have an impact. If say somehow Mexico, the US, and a third CONCACAF team all make the quarters next summer, that should help the confederation. That'll create some real buzz for the region. But one strong or weak Confed Cup won't make a difference, since there's only one team per region. No one thought CONCACAF was making strides when we made the final last time.
Lost in Space
That The "Next Generation" of USMNT players is still working their way up the ladder in their club careers is true. Players like Gyau, Gatt, Wood, Shea, Boyd, Agudelo, D. Williams, Morales, etc…are all still developing as players. But when you look at the current USMNT there really aren't that many players who will be retiring from international compitition right after next years WC due to age.
Those on the retirement bubble likely include: Cherundolo, Boca, Gooch, Goodson, Beasley, Jones, Donovan, Dempsey, Gomez, and maybe Howard. Of these 9 players there are only 2 or 3 that have played a significant role in the 2013 Hex, and only 1 that a likely replacement hasn't been clearly Identified (Dempsey).
I'm less worried about the next generation than I've ever been before. There are multiple options developing across Europe, Mexico, and the US; to the point where for the 1st time in my life we don't have to worry about having a particular player be the ONE to carry/save us the next round.
With players like Bradley, Jozy, F. Johnson, Chandler, Besler, Gonzalez, Cameron, Edu, Zusi, & Guzan, as the Core to build around after 2014 and a fairly deep pool of developing talent (Lichaj, Shea, Gyau, Wood, Boyd, D. Williams, Morales, Gatt, Mixx, Agudelo, and a handfull of the U-20's) the future is brighter than I've ever seen it.
+ 1. You said it soooo much better than I did.
Right on!!!!!!!!!!!
I partially agree with you, in that we've got a deep pool of potential around the world and it's likely that someone will step up. We likely will get unheralded contributors too – not too many were talking about guys like Besler and Zusi as possible 2014 starters a few years ago. I've become very confident that with a little more experience with the Nats (and especially working together with Timmy), Besler will become a strong captain of the backline for us.
By the same token though, I think the retirement bubble is a bit more concerning than you think. I think Dolo is kind of crucial right now, because outside of Chandler I don't think there's anyone else I have confidence in at RB right now. I doubt that many people four years ago thought we'd be wondering if we're already in the post-Donovan era right now. Losing Dempsey will be a big hit for this team. And we're not good enough on the wings and at CB as it is, let alone after retirements.
Basically, there's just a lot of uncertainty. We've got enough kids developing right now that we should be in decent shape going forward, but there are no young stars clearly establishing themselves right now. Donovan and Beasley established themselves as national team regulars as 19 year olds and were stars at the World Cup less than a year later, and there's no one right now who looks that developed at that age. Then again, they didn't actually break into the team until late 2001/early 2002, so someone may yet step up. We just don't know. So I think some fear about the future is fair, but not too much.
Patience. These things take a time.
Jozy is just coming into his own. Zusi, Cameron, Beasler and Gonzalez (though not all young) are now switching into gear. My point is sometimes you get a gem early and sometimes it takes some polishing. I wouldn't sweat 2 years. Plus by what standards are you measuring their progress? They are starting and playing regularly for their teams. Not unless the main criterion for progress is transfers – which is cool as long as these guys are playing, developing and perfecting their skills.
We have a lot of guys coming through the pipeline – in Europe and MLS. I'm not freaking out about it just yet.
yeah, but we said that about Zizzo, Szetela, Zimmerman, Ferrari, Adu, etc. too. but Bradley and Jozy came from that same group. i'm not terribly worried.
Old School
Someone, pop the hood and take a look in the hype machine. It's hasn't been working since it was assigned to Kljestan.
Hey now, let's be fair… Sasha had been playing well for a while and people wanted to see what he could do for the Nats. People were hoping he'd do well, but no one expected him to be great…
Josh D
Gatt really needs to move to Portugal or the Netherlands to learn technique and increase his soccer IQ. He has the physical assets, my only concern is him being able to ramp up against tougher teams. I hope he makes the Gold Cup. He offers us a ton of speed off the bench and it will be good for him to have a month learning from Donovan.
Rosenborg played yesterday, too. Mix was an unused sub I believe. I wouldn't read too much into it considering it was a Cup game against a lower league team.
MN Footie
Nice that he's playing and everything, but Ranheim is a mid-table team in the Norwegian second division. I'd guess they are on-par or below USL in terms of quality. He had better be scoring on them.
Old School
"…but he plays in Europe."
NC Jeff
But they ARE a professional team … and he is in season and scored on a professional team. It's kinda like my high school track & field coach once told us: "I don't care if there's a 40mph wind at your back, if you run a sub. 11 sec. 100M or long jump > 22′, then you will come to the next meet with the mindset that you are a sub. 11 sec. 100M man or a 22′ long jumper.
And I'm sure he's pleased that he scored. But I don't think it's something the US Soccer coaching staff will even acknowledge.
Sure they will. He scored and he's in the middle of his season. Those are both good things.
of course they'll acknowledge it. they won't freak out, but they'll certainly take note.
Don't care
He's better than the over hyped players in mexico
Edwin in LA
I'm sorry and who would those be? And why are they over hyped? You including Beasley in this? How is Corona and Castillo over hyped who were playing in Copa Libertadores…….something hardly anybody in our current USMNT pool can say as only a few play in europa and champions league which is the only tournaments of equal talent and quality or better than the Libertadores?
Fat Albert
Nice goal by Emanuel expo as well.
Ranheim Steammolder.
Robert Smith
the generation in waiting: Gatt, Gyau, Wood, Agudelo etc is a step up in ability from the previous generation of US players. But by no means are they a "golden generation". I think we will have our golden generation though;it's just going to take time. We've only had youth academies for less than 5 years.Five years from now we're going to see some technically gifted players emerge from these academies. And with more young players starting for their MLS clubs we finally have a path for these young players to actually play.
The problem we face is we don't have the soccer infrastructure that great soccer nations have. The distance from player to club is still too far and the barriers to entry for a pro career are still too many.
The best thing for our youth development and our national team will be how will our lower divisions grow. If in 10 years we have a NASL with 18 teams and a USL with regional divisions throughout the country, then I think we are well on our way to becoming a soccer superpower.
+ 1. Well put, Robert.
First goal was really nice. Gatt's was solid too, if a bit lucky. Gatt is decent at cutting in and attacking, but if he really wants to stake out a place on the Nats, he should work on his crossing. We need wingers with speed and who can provide service to Jozy and Dempsey first and foremost. Creative attacking is secondary IMO.
(really curious about why this is in moderation…)
We need more players with Soccer Superpowers.

Beggars lie in the shade outside the run-down cafes and shops that line the dusty streets of Karia Ba Mohamed, which nestles in the mountains near the city of Fes.
Far from the tourist traps of the country's north coast, Karia is a working-class farming town where Western faces are rarely seen.
Scroll down for more...
Water is in short supply, leaving the stray dogs and exhausted donkeys to go thirsty. Rubbish is strewn everywhere.
Yet this shabby enclave is now the focus of the hunt for four-year-old Madeleine.
Detectives from the Metodo 3 investigating team - the Spanish private detective agency hired at great expense by the McCanns to trace their daughter - claim they were phoned by a schools inspector from Karia, who said he had potentially crucial information.
He told them he had seen Madeleine, and his story is said to be backed up by several others.
The trail to Karia began a month ago when Naoual Malhi, a Spanish woman of Moroccan origin, claimed she saw a child with a striking resemblance to Madeleine in the Moroccan coastal resort of Findeq.
She sought the help of a police chief she knew in Fes, and thousands of posters of Madeleine were distributed in the area, urging people to contact Metodo 3 investigator Antonio Jiminez with any information.
As a result, Mrs Malhi says Mr Jiminez was contacted by the education inspector from Karia who told how a child with a striking resemblance to Madeleine had been seen in the town.
The claims prompted a flurry of door-to-door inquiries last week by Karia's small police force who, like most Moroccan forces, have a dossier on Madeleine.
For officers used to dealing with petty car crime and stolen mobile phones, it was a period of high drama, but they drew a blank.
They are now convinced that Madeleine is not in the town and have hit out angrily at what they perceive to be slurs on their ability.
The unnamed education inspector - who, according to newspaper reports, is now on holiday - is said to have claimed that 15 of his neighbours all backed his story.
Scroll down for more...
He is alleged to have told detectives that Madeleine was living on the outskirts of the community with a Berber woman, aged about 40, and a girl in her mid teens.
Karia's police chief insisted his officers had conducted a thorough search of the sprawling town's 2,000 houses, but admitted the surrounding countryside was harder to monitor.
About 130,000 people live in the area around Karia, yet just 18,000 are in the centre.
Here, everyone knows each other. There are no hotels, no town hall or council buildings, and youngsters who grow up here nearly always stay for life.
The police chief, who refused to give his name, angrily refuted claims that Madeleine was there, and instead cruelly suggested she was dead and blamed her distraught parents for what had happened.
The overweight, bald officer also boasted that there was no crime in Karia.
Yet, as he spoke, three young Moroccan men were sweating in an airless, filthy cell just yards away.
He said: 'She is not here. We have checked for her. Why would she be here? We would know if she was. We would have been told by the people.
'In cases like this you always must look at the parents. There are lots of hypotheses going round about them. We are astonished that we have been brought into this. It is incredible. The truth is she is probably not alive and if she is, she is not here.
'We have a dossier on her and we have nothing to hide. It is the parents who are hiding things. Why are they not still coming to Portugal to look for their daughter? Morocco doesn't need this. We have no crime and nothing like this.'
Meanwhile, six months exactly since Madeleine's disappearance, an emotional statement by Kate McCann was read at a service in the church in Praia Da Luz where she sought solace in the days and weeks that followed.
Mrs McCann told how she and her husband Gerry prayed every day that their 'little ray of sunshine' would be back soon.
Susan Hubbard, wife of the vicar the McCanns turned to after Madeleine vanished, fought back tears as she read Kate's message to well-wishers: 'Madeleine is one of many children cruelly taken from their families. Words will never be adequate to describe how much we miss and love her and the void in our lives has not lessened since the day she went missing.
'We continue to pray to God that good will triumph over evil, that hope will replace despair.'

Video released in shooting of 6 Utah officers
Shootout left an officer dead and five other officers wounded
By PoliceOne Staff
OGDEN, Utah — Newly-released dash cam video shows scenes from a shootout that left an officer dead and five other officers wounded.
The footage was taken as officers arrived at an Ogden home where fellow cops were conducting a drug raid in January, KSL reported. As an arriving officer approaches, he is warned of "shots fired."
Police said Matthew David Stewart, a 37-year-old Army veteran, waited for them to enter before firing from a concealed position. When police returned fire, Stewart fled through a window, according to an affidavit. Police say he continued to fire from a backyard shed before being shot and taken into custody.
Officer Jared Francom, 30, died in the exchange of gunfire. Five officers were wounded.
In the video, police attempt to get into position and help where they can. Some stay in the vehicle, trying to determine if the downed officer had been cleared. A second video shows wounded officer Michael Rounkles being loaded into a cruiser and driven to the hospital. Officers decide not to wait for an ambulance.
Stewart was charged with capital murder and could face the death penalty.

Produces high-quality results at good speeds, but we're not convinced that justifies the running costs
We almost gave this model a 5-star rating. The Pixma MX885 is an all-rounder, gives good quality, is responsive in all modes and comes stuffed with features, but its cost per page is too high for it to take top spot.

Canon's small office multifunction is something of a bargain in the features stakes, although there are a few trade-offs in utility that make that possible.

Key medical figures:
• 2,800 patients on first-line ARV treatment
The centralised system and treatment costs pose barriers to healthcare for many people in Cameroon. Those with neglected diseases such as Buruli ulcer, seen mostly in rural areas, are particularly disadvantaged.
Buruli ulcer is a tropical disease that destroys skin and soft tissue, usually on a person's arms and legs. This can cause secondary infections, restrict their movement and cause permanent disability and scarring if left untreated. If the disease is detected early enough, the majority of patients can be cured with antibiotics, although surgery may also be necessary. It is still not known exactly how Buruli ulcer is transmitted. About half of those in Africa suffering from the disease are children.
People with suspected Buruli ulcer in Cameroon are examined and laboratory tests are performed. When positively diagnosed, they receive antibiotics, wound dressing, surgery and physiotherapy at the Buruli ulcer 'pavilion' run by Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) in Akonolinga hospital. HIV testing is routinely offered to all patients; 12.5 per cent of people entering the programme during the year were found to have HIV, nearly triple the estimated population prevalence. Those who test positive receive comprehensive care for both diseases. In total, the team treated 188 people with chronic wounds resulting from Buruli ulcer, applied more than 15,800 surgical dressings, admitted 48 new patients and carried out 78 surgical procedures.
Since November 2011, research has been underway to facilitate diagnosis of Buruli ulcer in those resource-limited countries where it has a high prevalence. The aim is to provide health professionals with an easy-to-follow diagnostic grid for identifying cases. The first phase of the study was completed this year, and in total 370 patients have been enrolled. The HIV programme in Douala was handed over to the Ministry of Health in April, with tenofovir having been adopted as the first-line treatment.

The need for a new paradigm in heatlhcare and social services is glaringly obvious. The indicators are:

2.an equally abysmal record for coordination, communication and follow-up with special regards to but by no means limited to psychiatric care and the treatment of medically unexplained symptoms,
3.an incredibly strong hospital system and a languishing primary care system,

Brazilian Pop, Uneasy in the Spotlight
By LARRY ROHTER
Published: April 23, 1989
RIO DE JANEIRO— Suddenly, the music of Brazil is the height of fashion among those in the United States and Europe who pride themselves on setting trends and defining tastes. The album ''Beleza Tropical,'' compiled by David Byrne of Talking Heads, is selling rapidly and getting extensive play in nightclubs and on college radio stations. Joao Gilberto, Gal Costa, Hermeto Pascoal and other Brazilian singers and musicians are touring the United States to an enthusiastic popular and critical response.
Caetano Veloso has just finished an album in New York, tentatively titled ''Estrangeiro'' (''Foreigner'') for Elektra/Musician, an American label, and a long list of other Brazilian stars, headed by the singer-songwriters Milton Nascimento and Djavan, also have recording deals with American companies.
The record producer Quincy Jones calls it ''the second Brazilian invasion'' - the first being the bossa nova movement that Mr. Gilberto, Antonio Carlos Jobim and Astrud Gilberto led nearly 30 years ago. But from this vantage point, the upsurge of interest has also resulted in an invasion of Brazil, about which many Brazilian music professionals seem to be ambivalent. While welcoming the opportunity to make their music known to a broader international audience, they wonder about the image of their culture that is being projected abroad, especially in the Byrne compilation.
Fascinated by Brazilian music, some of the top names of international pop music are coming directly to the source. Paul Simon and Peter Gabriel, for instance, have already recorded here, and Sting has recently been exploring the Amazon, acquainting himself with the legends, music and ceremonies of the Indian peoples living there. Rod Stewart, Genesis, Tina Turner - all have sought to avail themselves of the musical riches Brazil has to offer.
''It's perfectly understandable why this is happening,'' said Nelson Motta, a well-known Brazilian critic and songwriter. ''International pop music has depleted itself, what with everybody repeating the same limited things over and over again. The big names are going outside to look for a little fresh air, for new harmonic and rhythmic structures, and Brazil is a fountain of just the kind of things they are seeking. We may be a third-world country, but we produce first-class music, with a diversity of styles and an abundance of talent you would be hard-pressed to find anywhere else in the world.''
Though flattered by all the attention, Brazilians worry that the relationship now developing may prove to be merely a brief and trivial flirtation, not a deep and lasting romance. As the singer-composer Gilberto Gil puts it: ''To the extent that our music becomes raw material for the rest of the world, losses and dangers begin to appear. In the modern world, music is part of an industry of culture that is characterized by rapid obsolescence and disposability, and there is no guarantee that won't happen to us.'' Some of the same people now ''discovering'' Brazilian music were only recently enamored with the music of South Africa, the last pop fad, and have little understanding of the cultural and political roots of Brazilian music.
Those concerns have been heightened by the success of ''Brazil Classics 1: Beleza Tropical'' (Fly/Sire 25805-1), a collection of 14 songs (18 on the cassette and CD versions) compiled as a celebration of ''tropicalismo'' (the pop-music movement from which have come many of Brazil's stars of the last 20 years) and intended as the first of three surveys of Mr. Byrne's favorite Brazilian popular music.
Mr. Byrne's sincerity in undertaking this difficult task is appreciated, but many in the musical community here who have heard the record nonetheless regard it as an incomplete and ultimately misleading document, one that says more about Mr. Byrne, and by extension other American and British pop stars looking for inspiration outside their own culture, than it does about Brazilian music.
''I think David Byrne is well intentioned but ill advised,'' said Riska Mutarelli, the director of Som da Gente Records, a Brazilian label specializing in instrumental music. ''This is not what people here are doing now. He has sought out the exotic and the colorful, selling a somewhat folkloric image of a Brazil that does not exist, that stopped existing years and years ago. You have here neither all the most important and representative artists, nor even the best work of the people he did pick.''
Mr. Byrne's liner notes, for instance, praise Jorge Ben as ''a highly original lyricist,'' but the record itself sums up the singer-guitarist's 25-year career with a pair of songs about soccer that are genial but hardly profound (the cassette and CD versions, however, also contain the more typical ''Caramba! Galileu da Galileia''). As Mr. Byrne (who declined to be interviewed for this article), also acknowledges, he has chosen to focus on music from Bahia, the northeastern state whose infectious rhythms equally captivated Mr. Simon when he recorded here, because it is ''the most African'' part of Brazil, a place where, he argues in the album's liner notes, the ''mixing, blending and Creolizing of forms'' have created ''the freshest music.'' What's Missing: A Who's Who

Unless you're afraid of putting some reasonable wear on the expensive tires on the car, you shouldn't worry about that yet. Odds are that size wouldn't be any faster that what you have now, unless you paid enough to get sticky tires.
A better investment would be seat time. Get the schedules for the year of the 3 or 4 closest other clubs, put it all on a calendar, and see which ones you might be able to make. If you must buy tires, get something affordable in a stock size and try to destroy them with as many events as possible. You'll probably run a year or two before tires are relevant.
An experienced driver will gain a second or so from sticky tires. A good launch is worth a few tenths of a second. Experience is worth several whole seconds. A rookie can learn bad habits with great tires, while things you learn on bad tires will still apply later to sticky tires.

New Kid on the Stage
When Joey McIntyre joined New Kids on the Block on the cusp of turning thirteen, he used the music to get him through the difficult process of fitting in with the rest of the group — childhood friends who could probably finish each other's sentences. He came back to the healing power of music again and again during his career, and that's an underlying theme of The Kid, a new, autobiographical one-man show through which McIntyre reveals his rise to fame, fortune and the simple stages of living life, all against a musical backdrop. Yep, that means little Joey sings his heart out in this play-in-progress, which premieres tonight in Denver at the intimate, cabaret-style Garner Galleria Theatre.
Penned by television writer Christine Boylan and directed by Eli Gonda, with musical direction by NKOTB reunion-tour veteran Rob Lewis, The Kid is all Joey, all the time, and the buzz is that that's not a bad thing. "Pay attention, Denver: Mr. Joey McIntyre is an extremely talented young man," says Denver Center Attractions honcho Randy Weeks.
Shows continue Thursdays through Sundays (with an additional Wednesday date on September 11), through September 15 at the Galleria, in the Denver Performing Arts Complex; for tickets, starting at $45, go to denvercenter.org or call 303-893-4100.
Thursdays-Saturdays, 7:30 p.m.; Saturdays, Sundays, 2 p.m.; Sun., Sept. 1, 7:30 p.m.; Wed., Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m. Starts: Aug. 29. Continues through Sept. 15, 2013

Join the mailing list
As directed at the July 25, 2016 meeting of Council, The City has completed the facilitated citizen involvement sessions and online engagement to move to the final design for the Southwest BRT.
The feedback and input collected from the online engagement and the workshop has been compiled and available below. The project team will use feedback collected during the facilitated citizen involvement program where able and appropriate to help inform the final design of the Southwest BRT.
At the April 20, 2016 Standing Policy Committee on Transportation and Transit (SPC on T&T), a number questions were asked by Calgarians about the Southwest Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project. The City developed detailed responses to the 62 questions asked in a document called Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions that was presented at the July 20, 2016, SPC on T&T.
Along with the answers to the 62 questions, The City provided the Transportation Report to SPC on T&T – 2016 July 20. Attachment 2 of the Report, the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions, has been separated into its own PDF due to file size.
Along with the answers to the 62 questions, and report to the SPC on T&T, The City presented this overview video to show the proposed changes to the SW BRT route, proposed station design, and destinations serviced by the SW BRT.
The Southwest BRT project is one of four additions to The City's primary transit network. The four new projects will fill important gaps in the existing transit network, and provide Calgarians with fast, reliable connections to major destinations.
The City of Calgary's BRT network includes many different types of BRT service and infrastructure. The City adapts BRT projects to suit the needs of the communities and customers it serves.
The Southwest BRT project includes new BRT stations along the length of the route, and construction of new bus-only travel lanes on 14 Street W between Southland Drive and 75 Avenue S.W. Buses will run in mixed traffic along the rest of the route, except on portions of Glenmore Trail and Crowchild Trail, where buses will be able to use the shoulder lanes to bypass traffic in rush hour.
The new Southwest BRT project will run from Downtown Calgary to Woodbine, and will provide direct connections to major destinations that are currently underserviced by transit, such as Southland Leisure Centre, Glenmore Landing, Heritage Park, Rockyview Hospital, Mount Royal University, Lincoln Park, Currie Barracks, and Marda Loop.
The Southwest BRT is a better service for current transit passengers, and is a necessary, long-term transportation solution for the city.
The City of Calgary is working to create and improve transportation options for Calgarians. One of those options is the new BRT network.
Bus Rapid Transit (or BRT) is a fast, reliable bus service. Cities around the world have adopted BRT services, and view them as an integral part of their overall transit and transportation plans.
BRT routes have fewer stops than a regular bus route, which means they can cover more ground, more quickly.
Four new BRT projects will fill important gaps in the existing transit network, and provide more direct connections to major destinations. Direct connections are important, as we know that Calgarians are 50 per cent less likely to use transit if they have to make a transfer to a second (or third) bus or train.
Not all BRT projects require dedicated bus lanes. In lower traffic volume areas, BRT services can run quickly and reliably in mixed traffic. In higher volume traffic areas, BRTs are faster and more reliable if they run in their own, dedicated lanes.
The City of Calgary currently operates five BRT routes, including routes 300, 301, 302, 305 and 306. The four new BRT projects complement the existing network of BRT and LRT routes, and are designed with connections to the future Green Line LRT in mind.
Please note: Clicking on each question below will expand the box to reveal the answer.
The City has updated designs for the intersection of 75 Avenue and 14 Street S.W. The updated design eliminates impacts to the operation of the intersection of 14 Street and 75 Avenue S.W.
The City has also developed a revised design of the transitway at Heritage Drive to eliminate direct impacts to the signalized intersection. The transitway and station have been shifted further west, and proposed to cross the access road into Heritage park, where less daily commuter traffic exists. :
Further traffic modelling has been undertaken at these intersections and all of these changes result in minimized impact to congestion on 14 Street S.W. In the long term, if enhancements to transit service are not made, traffic congestion can increase through trip generation associated with new land developments. This would require alternative transportation services and increased parking supply at major employment and post-secondary sites due to a lack of public transit choices.
More details about updated intersection designs can be found in the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions document.
Detailed information about how The City calculates ridership, and ridership forecasts for the Southwest BRT route, can be found in the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions document.
In 2017, ATCO will begin construction on their Urban Pipeline Replacement Program on 14 Street S.W. between Glenmore Trail and 90 Avenue S.
The City of Calgary is working closely with ATCO to coordinate construction of the Southwest BRT with ATCO's planned Urban Pipeline Replacement (UPR) Program work on 14 Street S.W. The UPR Program includes:
Learn more about ATCO Urban Pipeline Replacement Program at www.atcogas.com/UPR
There have been concerns raised regarding the condition, integrity, corrosion and pressure changes of the existing high-pressure line. These concerns will be eliminated by its abandonment. The new low-pressure distribution feeder line will exceed current pipeline construction standards and employ the latest technologies to ensure they are the safest in Alberta.
Infrastructure programs and projects follow the City of Calgary Project Management Framework, which is consistent with industry standard best practice and uses the following five-stage process for estimating and establishing program and project budgets:
As projects evolve, the project definition increases and more accurate estimates can be produced.
The $208M BRT Program budget was established based on project estimates at the Order of Magnitude and Conceptual Design stage. The Conceptual Design was based on having bus stops with limited features. In the years since the conceptual design was produced, we've heard from Calgarians through engagement as part of RouteAhead in 2012 that they'd like to see a higher level of service, with better features for an improved customer experience. Investment in these improved features has had an impact on the cost of the overall project.
The City is currently in the design phase for all four of the new BRT projects. As design progresses, we know that the costs of some projects will decrease and others will increase.
The Southwest BRT project is part of a larger program, which also consists of the 17 Ave S.E. BRT project, and the North and South Crosstown BRT projects. Although the Southwest BRT project budget has increased, the program budget comprised of all four projects is still on budget.
There are no plans to include Park and Rides with any of the four new BRT projects. The projects are intended to serve local communities and will primarily be accessed from within the community via feeder buses, walking and cycling.
Project teams will work with communities to implement residential parking restrictions if that is of interest to residents. There are different options for permitted parking in communities, including two-hour restrictions, residential parking permits, and others. Learn more about The City's Residential Parking Permit Program.
The City of Calgary has not initiated or planned for a Transit Oriented Development (TOD) as part of the Southwest BRT project. Private developers may pursue future TOD redevelopments on their property based on their own planning.
More information about development near the Southwest BRT route can be found in the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions document.
The phasing of the project will keep both 14 Street and 90 Avenue open to traffic throughout construction. Along 14 Street, construction will be closely coordinated with the work being undertaken by ATCO within the corridor. ATCO is expected to begin installation of a new distribution line on 14 Street in 2017. In conjunction with ATCO's construction, we endeavour to maintain six lanes of traffic during peak periods. At 90 Avenue, a detour will be constructed to the north of 90 Avenue, adjacent to Glenmore Landing, to allow for the first phase of construction of the underpass and relocation of existing utilities along 90 Avenue. The phasing of the underpass will maintain the same number of lanes on the 90 Avenue approach to the intersection throughout construction.
The new BRT stations will not be utilized by the Southwest BRT until completion of the overall project, as the Southwest BRT would not be in service until that time. As some of the BRT stations are located at existing Calgary Transit bus stops, some will be utilized by existing routes upon station construction completion.
As noted above, we will endeavour to maintain six lanes of traffic during peak periods. During off peak hours, the Contractor may arrange for lane closures to facilitate construction activities. These will be coordinated to ensure that impacts to traffic are minimized and that lane closures are properly communicated to the public and motorists.
More details and images regarding construction phasing can be found in the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions document.
Further information about the project planning process, project design, lane widths, intersection operations, the Southwest Calgary Ring Road, and alternative options, can be found in the Southwest BRT Response to Public Questions document.

SHAH ALAM – Sharp-Roxy Sales & Service (M) Sdn Bhd (SRSSC) launched its latest series of consumer appliances aimed at bringing more comfort and convenience to the homes of Malaysians while helping them save on utility bills.
"Our consumers' demands have changed when it comes to home appliances due to several factors," said Hiroyuki Nuizato, Managing Director of SRSSC, as he cited examples such as the electricity tariff hike, the softened economy in general and the upcoming GST implementation next year. According to him, these factors have driven an increasing demand for energy efficient appliances especially those that are high in comfort and convenience features to help ease time and effort in household tasks.
In line with the theme WAFU or Japanese Style, the highlights of the launch were Sharp's latest range of J-Tech product line-up. J-Tech stands for Japanese Technology, which are engineered with two main elements – advanced Sharp technology and sincere Japanese hospitality.
Leading the range is the J-Tech refrigerators that offer the latest in Sharp inverter technology (simply dubbed as J-Tech Inverter) which allows for extremely precise temperature control resulting in reduction of energy consumption by 77 per cent. This series also features Sharp's award-winning Plasmacluster Ion Technology that eliminates 99 per cent of bacteria and 97 per cent of mold.
Other features are 30 minutes express freezing, delicate temperature levels of 0°C to 2°C for the enjoyment of truly ice cold drinks, a separated hygiene room specially built to keep dairy products fresher and a 3-Way Tempered Glass for convenience of storage solutions.
J-Tech air conditioners share the same J-Tech Inverter technology, boasting energy savings of up to 60 per cent. This is achieved through a shorter time (3 hours as compared to current market standards of 5 hours) required to reach energy-saving-operation mode. The Powerful Jet mode delivers strong blasts of chilled air, capable of reducing 5°C in only five minutes and temperature reaches the preset level approximately 40 per cent faster than conventional air conditioners. Elevated levels of comfort are also available through the Plasmacluster Ion Technology, various automated sleep modes and a self-cleaning function.
The other highlight of the day included the three amazing series of Sharp AQUOS LCD TVs. The COCORO EYE series made its debut, showcasing its ability to sense presence and lighting conditions, and thus maintaining brilliant colour setting all the time. The accurate sensor will also have assist lighting for the dark and self-turn-off features whenever the user is not around. Developed as the next generation of intelligent LED-backlight LCD TV, the COCORO EYE series is truly the TV that, "Knows You Well".

Trying ConversationMature
Despite their worry, the Princess and her maids had been industrious. They were diligently sewing, Sarah's Willow shirt sleeves onto another sleeveless vest. Sarah shucked her coat to the couch and approached, curious.
"We did not know how long you would be here, so we thought to make a few more vests and pants for you," Princess Allmarah explained as the older maid rose and handed Sarah some sewing.
Sarah stood a bit dumb founded with the Willow cloth in one hand and the vest in another.
"The little boy," the younger maid looked at the other two.
"Ryan," the elder maid supplied.
"Yes Ryan, he is the cutest little boy..."
"He insisted," Princess Allmarah continued, "that we use a bit of the shirt and pants," she gestured to where Sarah saw her Willow pants in pieces on the floor, "in everything we made for you."
Sarah sat down slightly bewildered. "You saw Ryan too?"
"Oh yes," the younger maid spoke. "He scared us near to death, popping in through that wall," she gestured to a tapestry that hung between the left most window and corner.
"Made my head spin with all his talk of Gods and connections and how you aren't a Moyther and yet are like one." The elder maid shook her head.
Sarah set what she'd been handed down and moved to the wall. "He came through here?"
There were murmurs of agreement from behind her. She ducked under the tapestry and felt the wall. Tapping gently Sarah found where the door's border was. By pressing on one edge, she felt it move outwards. She quickly moved back to the room and hurriedly sat back down. All three women looked upon her with intense curiosity. Sarah did her best to try to sew as she cast her mind for Jason.
Jay! she had to mentally yell to get his attention.
Sarah, I am very busy at the moment. She felt his annoyance at her interruption.
But I've found a passage from the girls' room to the outside, Sarah informed him thinking quickly. If we can get a boat around back, we can sneak them out.
I will take that into consideration, he replied.
Jay? Sarah knew she was whining but she desperately wanted to talk to him.
Look, I am trying to coordinate three groups of people, one set of whom does not speak any Vervellean, aside from their two leaders. He sighed. You wanted to get out soon, and that is exactly what I am working on doing.
Sarah took a deep breath and let it out. Okay, but Jay...
Yes? He obviously wanted the conversation over.
Your Uncle Wholawski knows we were engaged, but he thinks you are dead.
Good, Jason stated, a wave of relief washing through Sarah. It is better for you that he continues to think so.
Yeah, Sarah sighed as she hoped she was sewing her seam correctly, So, James informed me.
"If," Princess Allmarah's voice broke Sarah's concentration and she looked up. The young woman once more bore a scowl, "I am to be rescued; I would like to know what is going on."
Sarah sighed and looked back at her work. "I wish I knew."
"You know something," the Princess countered, "for you had the look of Pairents communing."
Turning her face back to the young woman, Sarah met her eyes. "They are planning a siege, which is supposed to be set up soon. Other than that, I'm sure Phoenix will tell me what we need to know when we need to know. Besides," Sarah frowned at her lopsided looking sleeve, "the less we know, the better, I suspect."
Sarah did her best that afternoon to help with the sewing. Her work was horrible though and after the fifth time of having to take it out and start again, she laughed.
"I can cook a mean stew, but it appears," she smiled through her frustration as she held up the sad sleeve, "I can't sew a seam to save my life..."
The elder maid took the article of clothing from her.
"But, you'll be a Scout Sergeants wife..." the younger maid began.
"Yeah, about that," Sarah looked up at the girls her face serious, she gestured from them to lean in and they did. "To everyone here Phoenix is dead, NEVER let on that it is otherwise." She looked at each girl in turn. "Got it?"
They all nodded and Sarah stepped back. Not a moment too soon either, for there was a knock upon the door.
"Who is it?" Sarah moved back to her side, hoping to maintain the image that she was not fraternizing with the Princess.
No one answered, but the door swung open to reveal Wholawski.
"You have been given freedom to move about and yet you choose to stay here?"
"Yes," Sarah shrugged. "It's warm and I can't think of any other place I'd like to go."
There was a lift to his eyebrows, but no other reaction. Stepping into the room, the General retrieved the coat off the couch. "Come, I have more to show you."

This past Friday, the Lower Manhattan museum community was enriched with the re-opening of the Museum of Chinese in America (MOCA) at its new location at 215 Centre Street (between Howard and Grand Streets one block north of Canal Street). The opening coincided with the launch of MOCA's 2009 summer program of independent films, pop culture, guided tours, book events, and family activities. (Click here to learn more.)
The new building was designed by renowned artist/designer Maya Lin and juxtaposes the past with the present, creating new spaces while paying tribute to the original structure by leaving the historic courtyard untouched. Visitors during the summer will be able to access sections of MOCA's new core exhibition With a Single Step: Stories in the Making of America, which will be on view in its entirety on September 22.
Since 1980 MOCA has been dedicated to promoting dialogue and understanding among people of all cultural backgrounds and bringing 160 years of Chinese American history to life for all people. This new space will allow them to reach more visitors and create more exciting new exhibitions. We're so pleased to have another heritage Museum downtown (you could even visit both us and MOCA in the same day) and wish our colleagues at the Museum of Chinese in America all the best as they embark on this next step.

Political satire works best when based on closely researched reality: one has only to think of Yes Minister, The Thick of It or Alistair Beaton's Feelgood. But the problem with this piece by Gabriel Bisset-Smith is that, for all its sporadic vigour, it spirals off into wackily improbable fantasy.
It starts from a credible premise: the year is 2015, and the Con-Dem coalition has brought Britain to its knees. Like Kwame Kwei-Armah in Seize the Day, Bisset-Smith also explores the dilemma of a black outsider pitched into a leadership contest. But whereas Kwei-Armah dealt with the likelihood of an African-Caribbean candidacy for London's mayor, Bisset-Smith throws probability to the winds. His hero, Darren, is a youth-club worker who speaks out at a Green Party rally, is instantly adopted as a policy adviser and, before he knows what's hit him, has become a public figure and is touted as a potential prime minister.
Since Darren is both black and gay, Bisset-Smith has plenty of scope to attack our residual racial and sexual prejudices: it is horrifically plausible that Darren would get dubbed the "Green Queen" by the tabloids. We are also reminded that antedeluvian attitudes are not confined to Britain: as Darren says of his ancestral land, "being gay in Jamaica is like being straight at a Lady GaGa concert". But, although there are some good jokes, the play's satire is hobbled by the story's implausibility. You can just about believe that an anti-politics candidate might one day shoot to prominence. But the idea that the Greens would leap from being a party with a single MP to a future government is absurd. Indeed, it struck me that Bisset-Smith's play, with its radio shock-jocks and its Tea Party-like populism, is as much about modern America as contemporary Britain.
If the play overcomes its wobbly plot, it is largely because of the energy of Paul Robinson's production and the performances. Syrus Lowe, who started out sitting next to me in the stalls, leaps up on stage to take over the play and the wilting Greens and exudes the right ebullient charisma as Darren. Sarah Berger as a disillusioned MP, Kate Sissons as an incendiary environmentalist, and Christopher Brandon (as a series of villains from a Daily Mail hack to a rapacious entrepreneur) also give good value. Bisset-Smith can certainly do News Quiz-style gags. "Is the world ready for a gay couple in No 10?" someone asks only to be told "What do you think we've got now." But, as satire, the play is too far from observed truth to draw serious blood.

I loved this book. The author grew up in Mississippi and bases the novel on her experiences as a child growing up in the segregated South. She focuses on the strange combination of intimacy and separation that existed between black maids and the white families they worked for. This was especially true with the children, who were close to the maids that raised them -- but at some point would be taught the "rules" that were observed before the Civil Rights movement changed things. Although this book deals with a serious subject, the author does it in a most entertaining way. She tells her story from three parallel points of view: those of two black maids and a twenty-something year old white woman who challenges the status quo. I was hooked by the second paragraph, in which Abilene, one of the maids, describes a baby this way:
"I ain't never seen a baby yell like Mae Mobley Leefolt. First day I walk in the door, there she be, red-hot and hollering with the colic, fighting that bottle like it's a rotten turnip."
Who wouldn't want to hear more from that character? All are as well written. It's great to find a good book that is also a fun read.
The Help is about maids working in the South. They are tired of being mistreated by their employees. No one wants to speak up. Only one person and that's Abileen. Soon everyone gets on board. They meet up with Skeeter to give her information about what goes on in the home of their employees.
I decided to read more on African American history, culture this year. I found some great books. The help was one of them. I know although based on true story, it is not a history book. There were times I didn't believe/like what I read. I will go over them first since they are few:
Aibileen seems way too smart for a lady who spent her time working as a maid. And I don't mean that as an insult. But, I know the probability of becoming a writer (where she helped Skeeter with her chapter) and reading heavy classics in your free time is really low. In a world of engineers with masters and PHDs, the ratio is still low even at my work place! Well, I won't dwell on it, it wasn't the point of this story.
Skeeter's mother did not die. It is not like I take pleasure on cold and frigid southern ladies dropping dead. It is just she does not die and story goes on and on! Come on, her whole point in the story was not that big. Kill the old broad already....
But the rest of the story was great! I love the viciousness and bubbly tasks of the southern ladies' club. I adored the love between Skeeter and Stuart Whitworth. The way it starts with an argument and the come back. The sexual tension.. I never thought I would feel that from a southern gentleman:
I liked how Skeeter found her strength despite her mother, the time she lived in, and her love for Stuart Whitworth ...
I really felt sad for Mae Mobley.. I disliked her mother intensely for being so distant and loveless towards her.. But, it later came to me: God knows what her mother went through. Postpartum depression is still hard to swallow in our society. It is 2016! Maybe this is what she was going through?
Minny was absolutely delightful. Her relationship with Celia was one of the main building bricks of the book for me. Celia reminded me of Marilyn Monroe and it was eye opening to see her exclusion from the society, not because of her color or wealth, but for her past and free-style.
It was a time just like today. People were put in groups by more privileged people for easy processing. Strong conscious people received warnings and live through the fear of being left alone or depending of the color of your skin- getting hurt, financially or physically.
This is the story of this world. Actors/Actresses will change, ideologies will change, but story will never.
An engrossing book that tells what it's like to be a black maid in Jackson, Mississippi during the 60's.
I really liked the book, but maybe watching the movie first kind of ruined it for me. I thought some of the characters were not as interesting in the book as in the movie.
This is fun stuff, well-written and often applause-worthy. My only problem with The Help is that, in the end, it's not really about the help.
I finished The Help in one sitting and enjoyed it very, very much. It's wise, literate, and ultimately deeply moving, a careful, heartbreaking novel of race and family that digs a lot deeper than most novels on such subjects do.
As black-white race relations go, this could be one of the most important pieces of fiction since To Kill a Mockingbird... If you read only one book this summer, let this be it.
"Mississippi is like my mother," [Stockett] writes in an afterword to "The Help." And you will see, after your wrestling match with this problematic but ultimately winning novel, that when it comes to the love-hate familial bond between Ms. Stockett and her subject matter, she's telling the truth.
Her pitch-perfect depiction of a country's gradual path toward integration will pull readers into a compelling story that doubles as a portrait of a country struggling with racial issues.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0399155341, Hardcover)Three ordinary women are about to take one extraordinary step.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home after graduating from Ole Miss. She may have a degree, but it is 1962, Mississippi, and her mother will not be happy till Skeeter has a ring on her finger. Skeeter would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared and no one will tell Skeeter where she has gone.
Aibileen is a black maid, a wise, regal woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her after the loss of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. She is devoted to the little girl she looks after, though she knows both their hearts may be broken.
Minny, Aibileen's best friend, is short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue, so she's lost yet another job. Minny finally finds a position working for someone too new to town to know her reputation. But her new boss has secrets of her own.
Seemingly as different from one another as can be, these women will nonetheless come together for a clandestine project that will put them all at risk. And why? Because they are suffocating within the lines that define their town and their times. And sometimes lines are made to be crossed.
In pitch-perfect voices, Kathryn Stockett creates three extraordinary women whose determination to start a movement of their own forever changes a town, and the way women—mothers, daughters, caregivers, friends—view one another. A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humor, and hope, The Help is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.

In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. With the civil rights movement exploding all around them, three women start a movement of their own, forever changing a town and the way women--black and white, mothers and daughters--view one another.… (more)

Pope's Top 10 Secrets to Happiness
In a new interview, Pope Francis revealed his top ten secrets to happiness. Check 'em out ...
1. Live and let live.
2. Be generous and giving. He says if you withdraw into yourself, you can become egocentric. And also, quote, "stagnant water becomes putrid."
3. Proceed calmly. He talked about a novel where a character says that as a kid, he was like a rushing river full of rocks. But as an old man he's like a slow-moving pool of water. The Pope thinks we should be like the pool.
4. Have a healthy sense of leisure. Focus on simple things like enjoying art and playing with children. (We'll let YOU make the obvious joke here, Cletus.)
5. Make Sunday a holiday. He says Sunday is for families, so workers should have the day off. Also, it's one of the Ten Commandments.
6. Create dignified work for young people. Without opportunities, they get into trouble.
7. Respect nature.
8. Don't be negative.
9. Don't try to convert people. He says it's fine to inspire people by example, but you have to respect their beliefs. If you're talking to someone to persuade them, there's no real communication going on.
10. Work for peace.
After reading this, you should be singing this, and mean it! - Good luck!

The public health risks of shale gas extraction, or fracking, are low – so long as operations are run securely, government health officials have said.
In a report that will be seen as a green-light for the Government's controversial plans to exploit Britain's shale gas reserves, Public Health England (PHE) said that studies in the USA which had suggested possible health risks from emissions and contaminated water supplies were "limited and uncertain".
Any health risks that might occur would come from "operational failure", such as leaks and poor storage of waste products, officials said, warning that "good on-site management and appropriate regulation" were essential.
Fracking involves drilling down into the earth and blasting water, sand and chemicals into shale rock to release the gas inside.
The British Geological Survey estimates there could be 1,300 trillion cubic feet of shale gas in the north of England and with pressure on the UK's energy supply becoming ever greater, the Government is keen to begin capitalising on it.
However, the extraction technique, which is already used on a commercial scale in a number of countries including the USA, has raised a number of health and environmental concerns.
Gas company Cuadrilla halted operations in 2011 after fracking was blamed for earth tremors in Blackpool, but a government review later concluded fracking was safe if properly monitored.
Fears in the US have focused on the risk of contamination of the water supply from the chemicals used in and released by fracking.
However, health officials said that the chemicals – including methane, bromide and lead – were no different used to those released by other industrial processes.
Dr John Harrison, director of PHE's Centre for Radiation, Chemical and Environmental Hazards, said: "The currently available evidence indicates that the potential risks to public health from exposure to emissions associated with the shale gas extraction process are low if operations are properly run and regulated."
Officials admitted that the available evidence on fracking was limited and not always easily applicable to British geology and regulatory law, and pledged to closely monitor future commercial operations in the UK.
Energy minister Michael Fallon said: "The UK has the most robust regulatory regime in the world for shale gas and companies will only be granted permission to frack for shale if their operations are safe."Reuse content

This article examines the effects of U.S. federal funding for abstinence-only-until-marriage (AOUM) education on the educational policies and practices of pupils, teachers, districts, and private organizations in 2 states: Florida and Wyoming. It briefly reviews the political environment within which AOUM funding has expanded and employs a social justice framework to examine the intended and unintended effects—physical, social, economic, and gendered—of AOUM funding on schools and students in the study sites. The article concludes with an examination of the school- and district-level possibilities and exigencies for transforming current sexuality education paradigms.
