Railway safety, it's my priority…
Issue 3 2016 / 25 May 2016 /
Belgium, situated at the heart of the European Union, possessing a very developed economic sector of logistics, is abundantly conscious of the challenges – present and future – of the transport sector. We are often pointed at as Belgium still resides in the top ranks of most congested roads in Europe. The transport sector has to continuously reinvent and adapt itself to become effective and efficient in accommodating ad-hoc demands. For instance, the transport sector still has a long way to go to reduce its ecological footprint…

The works for this direct rail link between the left and right banks in the Port of Antwerp are well on schedule, and the new railway infrastructure will be commissioned in the latter part of 2014. For European Railway Review, Luc Lallemand, CEO of Infrabel, explains the most important milestones and challenges of this gigantic and strategic railway project for the Port of Antwerp.
Infrabel continues overhead line modernisation work
Issue 1 2014 / 12 February 2014 /
Infrabel, the Belgian rail infrastructure manager, is currently engaged in the progressive modernisation of its overhead lines. Electrical power is a vital element of sustainable rail transport. For European Railway Review, Richard Marcelis, Head of Infrabel's Power Engineering Department, explains the major challenges and projects
relating to overhead lines on the Belgian network.
"The railway will be the transport mode of the 22nd century"
Issue 1 2012 / 6 February 2012 /
"The railway will be the transport mode of the 21st century, if it survives the 20th." I had to use this phrase on numerous occasions during my time as Chief Executive of the Belgian National Railway Company in the 1990s, in order to make my colleagues aware of the necessity, during tense budgetary periods for public authorities, to efficiently use the budgetary means put at the company's disposal by the public stakeholder, and at the same time, highlight the obligation that the public authorities have to make sufficient appropriations in their budget to allow the least polluting means of transport to continue its development.
This message has been understood in my country, as well as other countries, which has allowed large railway infrastructure projects to be launched and the massive acquisition of new rolling stock; and this, to the profit of railway undertakings, infrastructure managers, their clients and industry in numerous domains which are the pride of Europe. In other world regions this inspires a wish to launch enormous construction projects too, which directly allows European businesses to conquer new markets in exporting a unique 'savoir-faire'.
Infrabel is putting the finishing touches to its Diabolo project
Issue 1 2012 / 6 February 2012 /
Infrabel, the manager of the Belgian railway infrastructure, is currently putting the finishing touches to Diabolo – the new direct rail link to and from Brussels Airport. With four months before the rail link goes into service, Luc Lallemand, Infrabel's CEO, exclusively tells European Railway Review the most important achievements and strategic priorities of the prestigious Diabolo project.
Strategic railway link in the centre of Europe
Thanks to Diabolo, Brussels Airport will be directly connected with the major axes of the Belgian network and also with several European cities, via the international axes Frankfurt–Liège–Brussels–Paris and Amster – dam–Brussels–Paris.
After the completion of the Belgian highspeed network in 2009, which is now in service and which covers the Belgian territory from border to border (in the direction of France, Germany and the Netherlands and in the direction of Great Britain through the Eurotunnel) Belgium once again has strategically positioned itself at the centre of Europe.
Diabolo is an underground railway connection between the Brussels-National- Airport station (in the airport itself) and the new double railway line Schaerbeek–Mechelen (L25N) along the central reservation of the E19 motorway, which will also contribute to improving congestion to and from the capital.
Infrabel's client oriented strategy in a liberalised railway market
Issue 1 2011 / 15 February 2011 /
Infrabel, manager of the Belgian railway infrastructure, has developed a variety of products and services for railway operators and its industrial clients. This initiative fits into the strategy of a client-oriented account management that caters to all individual needs. In an interview with European Railway Review, Luc Vansteenkiste, Director General Rail Access, discusses the challenges Infrabel faces within the context of a liberalised railway market.

The terms flamboyant, eccentric and even theatrical were often used to characterise Gordon West. Yet in an era when English football had an abundance of high-class, home-grown goalkeepers, the self-styled "Scouser from Barnsley" was considered good enough by Sir Alf Ramsey to understudy the great Gordon Banks as world champions England took third place in the 1968 European Championship finals.
The total of three international caps won by West, who succumbed tocancer, is an inaccurate reflection of the agility, technique, courage bordering on recklessness and sheer presence he exuded in two Football Leaguechampionship successes with Everton. One came in his first full season atGoodison Park, 1962-63, when he was 19, while the second, in 1969-70, would almost certainly have been followed by a trip to the Mexico World Cup as back-up to Banks had West not informed Ramsey that he suffered from homesickness and would rather stay home with his family.
The son of a miner, West was born in the village of Darfield, near Barnsley, and was a schoolboy centre-half before being persuaded that his physique and athleticism would be better employed as the last line of defence. Blackpool, where his colleagues included the young Alan Ball and the veteran Stanley Matthews, spotted his potential and thrust him into their First Division side at the age of 17. After 33 appearances, during the course of which he kept out another future England custodian, Tony Waiters, he was transferred to Everton in March 1962.
West was the first signing by Harry Catterick, the manager who, fora decade, went toe to toe with Bill Shankly at neighbouring Liverpool. The fee of £27,500 was a world record for a goalkeeper, and in his final years West, eyes twinkling, enjoyed reminding after-dinner audiences that the Blackpool Gazette reported that "it will never, ever be broken". He would also set out the unglamorous route he took to sign for the so-called "Mersey Millionaires": train from Blackpool to Preston; another train to Liverpool; and finally, the No 60 bus.
Everton, knowing he was on £20 a week at Blackpool, paid him £30. West, having swiftly displaced Alex Dunlop while still in his teens, fought off consistent competition from Andy Rankin and Geoff Barnett to play 402 first-team matches in an 11-year sojourn on the blue side of Stanley Park. He was one of only three players, with defender Brian Labone and winger Johnny Morrissey, to figure in both title triumphs, also collecting an FA Cup winner's medal in 1966 after Everton's stunning recovery from 2-0 down to defeat Sheffield Wednesday 3-2 at Wembley.
As well as being an outstanding keeper – ahead of his time in the way he threw the ball long distances with pinpoint accuracy, Peter Schmeichel-style, rather than hoofing and hoping – West was a charismatic performer. His popularity survived his being dropped for flashing a "v" sign at Everton supporters who were berating him for fumbling a shot into his own net, and it even extended, after a fashion, to the Kop at Anfield.
The first time West ran towards them, for a derby in early '63, he was confronted by 22,000 two-fingered gestures which he later admitted "really upset" him. A year later, showing his penchant for comedy, he blew them a kiss and pretended to drop his shorts. Thefollowing season, a man dashed out of the Kop and gave him a woman's handbag with "Honey West" painted onit. For years Liverpool fans "gave me stick about my handbag". West "accepted and enjoyed it", although he made sure he milked the occasion whenEverton won at Anfield en route to the title in 1970.
In his autobiography, published that year and titled The Championship in My Keeping, West revealed a lessflippant side. One chapter, headed"Nervous Torture", revealed that he was sometimes sick before going out to play. To ease the pressure and fill in thetime on arduous away trips, he and Labone shared the hobby of stamp-collecting. The pair were great friends,one Evertonian likening their double act at nostalgic team reunions to Hinge and Bracket.
The signing of David Lawson from Huddersfield Town, for a British-record fee of £80,000 in 1972, marginalised West and prompted his retirement after the '72-73 campaign. The decisionappeared premature – he had just turned 30 – but he was disappointed that Catterick had spurned his request for a testimonial match by saying "You cost us £27,500". In 1976 he was tempted back by Tranmere Rovers, playing 17 games before leaving football and working in security at RAF Woodvale, near Southport.
West fell on hard times. For many years he stayed away from Everton because he was embarrassed by his weight, which reached 26 stone, and he was in hock to money-lenders, who took his medals away in a plastic bag as collateral. The Everton Former Players' Foundation, a charitable organisation, paid for urgently needed knee surgery, returned the medals and eased his reassimilation into the Goodison fold.
"For 30 years I was nobody. I was finished, forgotten," he said. "They gave me back my life."
Gordon West, footballer: born Darfield, South Yorkshire 26 April 1943; played for Blackpool 1960-62, Everton 1962-73 (League Championship winner 1962-63, 1969-70), Tranmere Rovers 1976-79; three caps for England 1968-69; married (two sons); died 10 June 2012.

SpaceX's Dragon Reaches Pacific Ocean, Ends Successful ISS Journey

SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule in the Pacific Ocean
(Source: Michael Altenhofen)
SpaceX will now look forward to hearing from NASA about 12 additional missions to the ISS
SpaceX's Dragon cargo capsule has successfully completed its first trip to the International Space Station (ISS) with a splash in the Pacific Ocean.
"Welcome home, baby," said Elon Musk, SpaceX CEO. "It's like seeing your kid come home."
SpaceX is now the first private rocket company to
send a spacecraft to the ISS
since NASA retired its space shuttle fleet last year, leaving U.S. astronauts to depend on Russia when it came to space transportation.
After the space shuttle fleet's retirement, SpaceX stepped in with its Dragon cargo capsule and Falcon 9 rocket to lift supplies to the ISS. After a few delays throughout the first few months of this year, the Dragon made its way to the ISS at 3:44 a.m. on May 22. It launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida along with the Falcon 9 rocket with intentions of delivering supplies to the ISS.
On May 25, the
Dragon finally made it to the ISS
after passing a series of tests. The Dragon attached to the ISS at 12:02 p.m. that day.
From there, the Dragon delivered 674 pounds of food, clothing and other supplies as well as 271 pounds of cargo bags, 46 pounds of science experiments, and 22 pounds of computer equipment to the ISS.
Today, the Dragon made its way home after detaching from the ISS' robotic arm at 2:29 a.m. PDT. Five hours later, the Dragon used its thrusters to begin slowing down while at 240 miles above the Indian Ocean. At 7:51 a.m. PDT, SpaceX engineers confirmed the beginning of the deorbit burn.
The Dragon then slowly fell out of orbit due to the change in velocity from the burn. It finally splashed down into the Pacific Ocean several hundred miles off the coast of Baja California at 8:42 a.m. PDT. The capsule was recovered by boats and brought to the port of Los Angeles.
From launch to the splashdown, SpaceX's Dragon mission lasted 9 days, 7 hours and 58 minutes.
With the Dragon mission being a success, SpaceX will now look forward to hearing from NASA about 12 additional missions to the ISS. While these missions will be unmanned and sent for the purpose of re-supplying the ISS, SpaceX is currently working on a manned version for carrying astronauts.
This isn't SpaceX's only win of the week. Just yesterday, it was announced that SpaceX and satellite service provider Intelsat reached a commercial agreement for the
launch of a Heavy Falcon rocket
. The Heavy Falcon is a powerful rocket that represents SpaceX's entry into the heavy lift launch vehicle arena. The Falcon Heavy rocket can carry satellites and other spacecraft weighing over 53 metric tons to Low Earth Orbit.
"What would I do? I'd shut it down and give the money back to the shareholders." -- Michael Dell, after being asked what to do with Apple Computer in 1997

Staging Nationalism: Essays on Theatre and National Identity
€ 38,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Mai 2005
BeschreibungWhen a nation wants to reconnect with a sense of national identity, its cultural celebrations, including its theatre, are often tinged with nostalgia for a cultural high point in its history. Leaders often try to create a ?neo-classical? cultural identity. Artificially returning to an imagined pinnacle, however, can fail to take into account new aspects of national identity, such as the infusion of other cultures and languages. This collection of essays discusses the relationship between political power and the construction or subversion of cultural identity. The collection takes a wide historical perspective from distinct periods and cultures from all over the world. A few of the topics examined include how theatre in 18th century Poland tried to reconstitute the identity of an imagined classical heritage clung to by Polish nobles and how festival practices during the French Revolution tried to give meaning to recent events and rein in anxiety about split loyalties.

Article date: 10 July 2006
Following the recent break in the 2006 Dunlop MSA BritishTouring Car Championship due to the World Cup, the season reachesthe half way stages this weekend as Team RAC travel the 540-mileround trip to Croft Circuit in North Yorkshire.
Croft is a circuit that will suit the Team RAC MG ZS with itscombination of fast straights and slow corners. With few clearovertaking opportunities the circuit presents a real challenge todrivers trying to move through the field thus making qualifying allthe more important.
With a pole position and two podium finishes for Colin Turkington(Portadown) in last years corresponding fixture, he will be lookingto repeat history in 2006, but this time for Team RAC. Currentlylying second overall in the Championship and looking forward togetting back to racing following the six week break in the BTCCcalendar, Colin said: "Croft is a circuit where I always seem to gowell. The MG has always been fast around Croft, even more so thanThruxton. Confidence within the team is running quite high at themoment following the win at Thruxton and we feel a much strongerforce than we have previously. I've been chilling out during thebreak but now can't wait to get back in the car."
With a solid performance and a podium place at Thruxton last timeout, Rob Collard (Eversley) improved his position in theChampionship from tenth to seventh overall. Looking to repeat andimprove on his current form Rob said: "The Team RAC car is designedto suit the fast sweeping corners of the circuit. It'd be nice tohave a trouble-free qualifying session after my fiery episode atThruxton. If I can qualify well then there's no reason why Ishouldn't be on the podium again and follow-up on my third placelast time out."
Shaun Meadows, marketing director, RAC added: "We are thrilled withthe start Rob and Colin have made to the season. To be third in the2006 Dunlop MSA BTCC Teams Championship approaching the halfwaystage is an excellent achievement by all at Team RAC. Thededication, skill and expertise of those involved is an inspirationto everyone at RAC, so let's hope we can continue the great work atCroft and make this a truly memorable season."
Following a recent test of the car at Pembrey, Team RAC manager,Mike Ewan added: "The recent test went extremely well and we wereable to assess some new developments. We're certainly making goodprogress with the car and without the support from RAC I'm sure wewouldn't be seeing such success on the circuit as we havebeen."
The fifth BTCC round at Croft will be transmitted on ITV on Sunday16 July starting at 4.15pm. The programme will include highlightsfrom race one and two with race three being shown live in itsentirety. Satellite viewers can watch all three races live onMotors TV commencing at 11:50am.

David: Starting Now
Alright. I decided, I'm not going to think about Charlie romantically until the investigation is over. Nope, not once. Starting now.
Okay, fine. Starting now.
I walked across the room to where Mr. Lawrence was speaking to some cops, Charlie was standing behind me. "Mr. Lawrence," I called as I approached him. "Can we have a word?"
"You have one word," he said impatiently.
I smiled politely. This was one man that I would not stand up to. "I'm afraid, Mr. Lawrence, that we'll have to share more than just one word. That is, of course, if you want your family back."
Okay, fine. I'll stand up to him, a little. But only.
Mr. Lawrence scowled. He grabbed onto my shirt collar and pulled me close. "I'll do whatever it takes to get my family back. Are we clear?"
"Not yet," I said calmly. "We still haven't had our word."
"We won't have it," he said angrily. "I would much rather talk to someone with feelings."
I heard Charlie step forward, but I grabbed her arm.
"I'm sorry if I offended you, Mr. Lawrence. I don't know what got over me."
He pushed me away. "I told the police I wanted the best on this. I trust their judgement, and that's the only reason I'm not kicking you off this case. But be warned, one more step out of line, will end in the loss of your job. Have I made myself clear?"
My smile widened. "Crystal."
He stormed off without another word.
I turned to Charlie, who looked disgusted. "What a---"
"I know," I said, letting go of her arm. "But we have to deal with it."
Charlie looked at the ground. "I love you," she said quietly.
I gulped and looked around. "I love you too," I said with a wink.
Alright, fine. Starting now.
Back at CBI headquarters. Like home. More like home than my real home. At least I'm not alone here.
"Hart!" I yelled as I entered my office.
"Yes, boss?" Randall yelled from across the room.
"Can you visit the captain's quarters within the next thirty seconds?" I asked as I sat down at my desk.
He entered the office and shut the door behind him. "Do you need something?"
"How was the date?" I asked, my eyes on the paperwork piled on my desk.
Randall frowned. "You're interested in my dating life?"
"Why shouldn't I be? Alannah was dating a crazed criminal."
"So, how was it?"
"That bad, huh?"
"Oh yeah."
"She was huge, wasn't she?"
"Massive. Remember the president that got stuck in the bathtub?"
"Yeah. She was his fatter sister."
"You sure know how to pick 'em."
"It was a blind date."
It was strange...talking to Randall as if he was an actual human being. He seemed to be enjoying it, maybe a little too much. Can't say I wasn't enjoying it myself...
"Thank you for the chat, after I speak with Alannah can you take her to see the old lady who lived next door? Maybe she heard something."
"That's it?"
"Sorry, I guess I didn't make myself clear. Yeah, get out."
I winked at him as he left, obviously confused.
"OH! And call Alannah in for me, will you?"
Not even I knew what I was doing. But I had a feeling that I should be checking in on everyone. I hadn't talked to them in weeks, after all. Well, except for Charlie...
Starting now.

In his new book ESPN's Jay Bilas examines the quality of toughness
College basketball analyst Jay Bilas of ESPN has written a book titled "Toughness: Developing True Strength On and Off the Court," which is to be published next month.
Among the college basketball coaches he quotes throughout the book is Indiana coach Tom Crean, the former Marquette coach.
"To Indiana coach Tom Crean, toughness is a talent, and coaches and players have a responsibility to develop it like any other skill," Bilas writes. " 'You have to be pushed and prodded. It's not about talk. You have to absorb it. You absorb what it takes," Crean said.
Other coaches' reflections on toughness that Bilas use as grist in the book include his coach at Duke, Mike Krzyzewski, as well as Bob Knight, Tom Izzo, Roy Williams and Bill Self.
He also relies on his ESPN colleagues for their thoughts on the topic, including Doris Burke, Herm Edwards, Sage Steele, Curtis Strange, Julie Foudy and Jon Gruden.

Keeping kids safe
By Eileen Mellon, Special to the Citizen 07/26/12
Imagine the unimaginable: Your child, expected home hours ago has not yet arrived. No phone call, no text message, no word from friends – absolutely nothing. Panic starts to flood over as you realize your child could be in danger or missing.
Although this is an issue a lot of parents may not think about, it hits close to home in Virginia, which reports more cases of missing children annually than every state but one (despite being the 12th most populous state in the country).
More than 340 children were reported missing just last year in Virginia. During the past two years in Henrico, 24 children have been reported as missing, with the majority of them between the ages of 14-17.
Many of these children may be deemed runaways because parents or guardians may lack the physical evidence that would suggest something else.
In the recent Henrico cases, most of the missing children did run away, according to Henrico Police Detective Joe Mitchell.
"They're out with a friend, running late, they're not coming home, etc., and then the police get called," Mitchell said. "Often times the child comes home an hour after the officer leaves, though there are some chronic cases. But it's highly unusual to get a child that is gone under suspicious circumstances."
A child is considered missing when, from the caretaker's perspective, the child experienced a qualifying episode in which his or her whereabouts were unknown to the primary caretaker, according to Virginia state law. The caretaker must have been alarmed for at least an hour and must have tried to locate the child.
After a child is reported missing, the officer enters his or her name into a clearinghouse for missing children that can be accessed by police and other agencies throughout the country. Locally, if the child attends Henrico County Public Schools, the case also is assigned to that school's resource officer.
If a child reported as missing is still missing at the age of 18, he or she will be held in the system as a missing person until found, especially if there are suspicious circumstances.
"If they're missing under suspicious circumstances we have to always at least be looking for them to make sure no harm is done to them," said Mitchell. "If they get found, they're just removed from the system. Sometimes we have a child, maybe 16 or 17 years old, that runs away and goes to live with a different parent in a different state, and we know they're alive. Those children are not going to remain in the system."
A proactive approach
Lacking specific physical evidence that a missing child younger than 18 was taken against his or her will, the assumption often becomes that the child has run away. Often times, there is no such physical evidence.
That's one reason why Robert Smith, a minister and executive affiliate of ChildShield USA in Henrico, pushes for preventative measures.
ChildShield's primary goal is to prevent and reduce the numbers of lost, abducted and runaway children in America. The company offers victims' parents and law enforcement agencies a "one stop, one call source" for immediate assistance in distributing information that is vital to the recovery effort, according to Smith.
Enrollment costs $15 a month for all children in the family and is valid until the children turn 24. The company provides education and awareness to parents and children alike as a proactive way to defend against safety issues. It also creates a package with videotapes and personal data for each child, which is updated every two years. If an
enrolled child is missing, the company assigns a private investigator to the case, sends photo flyers to police and other agencies across the country and puts up a $50,000 reward. Every missing child enrolled in the program has been recovered safely, Smith said.
It's important to be aware that times have changed, Smith said, and people are more technologically savvy and educated. Young people often put themselves out into an online world of potential danger, and older methods of finding missing children, such as ID fingerprint cards, aren't going to prevent a child from going anywhere, he said.
"We're required to have car insurance, we have health insurance, home insurance, etc., so why not insure your child?" he said. "You can't replace the child, but you can replace a car or house or other aesthetically valued thing."
Why is Virginia ranked so high on the missing-children list? A lack of awareness, according to Smith.
"I come and speak to the kids about being safe through Henrico schools," said Smith. "This month and next month the library has me speaking to people about the problem and being safe. Most people are just unaware there is a problem, and the biggest part of what I do is education to both parents and children."
The Henrico Police have school PEAK (Police, Educators and Kids) officers read books to younger children about safety and programs in which they discuss stranger danger, date rape, peer pressure and running away to inform the youngsters about potential problems.
Smith understands that there is a problem and there also is a solution – but not one that will resonate with people who continually tell themselves, "This isn't going to happen to my child."
He knows this all too well from a personal experience.
His youngest son, Marcus Smith, was missing after a tornado hit Tuscaloosa, Ala., on April 27, 2011, leaving his family frantic. He was later found deceased.
"If your child goes missing, you will give up everything you have to get your child back," said Smith, on the verge of tears. "My son's body went missing and we didn't find him until five days later. When we got to his apartment it didn't look real; it looked like a movie scene. When we found him, he was buried beneath trees and shrubs, and I had to go back and identify him.
"From that experience take my word, $15 a month is nothing because you will give up everything you have to find your child. It's about making sure people are educated and having them realize that it does happen and can happen."
A network of support
A nationwide network of missing-child clearinghouses work closely together with the National Center For Missing And Exploited Children (NCMEC) and various agencies to provide a comprehensive approach to child protection. The focus points of the clearinghouses are networking, information dissemination, training development and delivery, data collection and provision of technical assistance in cases of missing and sexually exploited children.
The Clearinghouse of Virginia was formed in 1983 and operates as Virginia's center for missing children administered through the Virginia Department of State Police. It is linked to all Virginia law enforcement agencies, the FBI, all U.S. police agencies through the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and all children's clearinghouses. NCMEC handles the most serious cases in which the child is at greatest risk.
Henrico police officers work closely with NCMEC, receiving notification any time a missing child case involves the county and serving as an additional resource if a child is missing.
NCMEC officials assist local police by printing out flyers with a missing child's information and pictures, which are posted in high volume areas, such as local Walmart or Target stores.
One of the most recognized services for missing children is the Amber Alert Program, which is a voluntary partnership between law-enforcement and transportation agencies and media to send out urgent bulletins in serious child-abduction cases.
Law enforcement officials notify the NCMEC when an Amber Alert is released for a specific geographical area. Once NCMEC validates the Amber Alert, it is entered into a secure system and transmitted to authorized secondary distributors.
In most cases an Emergency Alert System is used to air a description of the child on radio and TV in hopes of making the community aware right away and helping in the recovery of the child. Such an alert is only issued when law enforcement agencies believe an abduction has occurred; the child is 17 years or younger and is in imminent danger;
and there is enough descriptive information about the victim available. Less than one percent of the lost, missing or runaway child cases in America actually qualify to use the system.
Despite police efforts in Virginia, last year one of every five children reported as missing was not found. In the 12th most populous state in the nation, that's a number that provides plenty of incentive for officials and others, such as Smith, who are seeking to lower it.

Police release photo of hoax bomb
Citizen Staff Reports Public Safety
Henrico Police have released a photo of the clock that resembled a bomb that led to the arrest of a Richmond woman in Shot Pump earlier this week.
The device, which the woman told police she purchased at a yard sale, was visible in her car at the Whole Foods at West Broad Village May 19, and a passerby called police, fearing it was a real bomb. Police responded as they would have had the device been real, they said, because they weren't sure if it was real or not.

Henrico school buses with compliance issue to be fixed this summer
The 176 Henrico school buses that have been purchased since March 2011 will be fixed during the summer, Henrico Schools spokesman Andy Jenks told the Citizen. The bus manufacturers will retrofit the buses at no cost to the school division, he said.
The brake interlock device is required on all automatic transmission buses in Virginia that were purchased after March 2011, which is when the device was added to the state Board of Education's requirements for school buses. As many as 4,000 school buses in the state may be affected, according to the Virginia Department of Education.

Study to look at how consumers perceive sustainable products
As consumers become more aware of their spending habits, one study taking place at Arizona State University's College of Technology and Innovation (CTI) hopes to discover how consumers perceive sustainable products and packaging. Study directors expect to determine what kinds of products and packaging will encourage a consumer to purchase an eco-friendly household item.
The study is conducted by Carola Grebitus, assistant professor of Food Industry Management at the Morrison School of Agribusiness and Resource Management at CTI. Grebitus was approached by Henkel, a global company in laundry and home care, beauty care and adhesives with its corporate headquarters located in Dusseldorf, Germany. Henkel's regional headquarters for its North America consumer products (such as Dial soap, Purex laundry detergent and Renuzit air freshener) is located in Scottsdale, Ariz.

The End of the World As We Know It: Social Science for the Twenty-First Century, by Immanuel Wallerstein
"Furthermore, it is precisely in periods of transition from one historical system to another one (whose nature we cannot know in advance) that human struggle takes on the most meaning."
In this volume, Immanuel Wallerstein makes the assertion that the current world system (global capitalism) is at a point of bifurcation (a splitting). He theorizes that this rupture will occur in the next fifty years. Of course, he doesn't try and play Nostradamus and attempt to forecast the future. Instead he insists that we are headed for shaky and interesting times, leaving the future in the hands of those in the present.
He begins by outlining four fundamental crises of global capitalism. Four that are only avoidable by altering the most basic nature of the system:
CRISIS ONE: Global De-ruralization - The main impulse of capitalism is to produce surplus and ideally retain the surplus value for the capitalist class. However, concessions must be made to workers in order to stabilize the system. We've seen what happens when capital refuses to concede. The orthodox method has been to allow the better-paid workers to supply the market by consumption and then draw those who are more politically vulnerable and willing to work for lower wages into the fold. For the most part, these workers are located in rural areas, drawn into the system as urban proletarians. These workers only work for a while under such conditions, until they too are drawn into the labor supply and replaced by others. Here's the rub: the world is rapidly becoming de-ruralized. This stands to disrupt this necessary process.
CRISIS TWO: The Ecological Crisis - Wallerstein doesn't touch much on this...I can at a later time. This problem alone requires a rethinking of everything from the monetary system to the copyright system, and on and on...but Wallerstein only really needs to touch on one fundamental point. For the whole life of the system, capital has been able to externalize most ecological costs. Usually, the brunt of the repair work is doled out to the taxpayer and the capitalist continues production unperturbed. With the growth of the system and the massive scale of industrial impact, they are being forced to internalize these former externalities. This is not cost-efficient at all and cuts deeply into profit margins.
CRISIS THREE: The Democratization of the World - The French Revolution brought a very dangerous idea into the whole of human consciousness- Authority does not rest in Monarchs, authority rests in the hands of the people. Though institutional authority has used the idea to spread capitalism, it has also spread the seeds of its demise. In order to stem the tide and stabilize the system, liberalism came into being. We now find three fundamental driving forces- Conservatism, Radicalism/Socialism, and Liberalism. The conservatives, true to the name believe in preservation of the status quo, but the radicals and socialists push to transform society completely. In order to curb this, reformist liberalism was created. The promise of incremental reform, the idea that even if your needs aren't being met, one can rest assured that we are gradually making steps towards an egalitarian society. This reform is mediated and administered by "experts". However, liberal reformism only works if the demands of society are being met in at least piecemeal fashion. Democracy requires concessions. At the very least it requires social wages, money for children and the aged, education, and health facilities. With the growth of capitalism and the increasing polarization in the distribution of wealth these calls are getting louder. They of course can't be met without endangering profit margins. This leads us to crisis four.
CRISIS FOUR: The Reversal of the Trend in State Power as the Adjustment Mechanism of the World System. - I'll be lazy and quote Wallerstein
directly on this one: "World democratization and the ecological crisis have put impossible demands on the state structure -- putting them in a state of "fiscal crisis" -- reducing their ability to adjust the system. The capitalists relied ever-increasingly on (social) movements to perform on their behalf in legitimating state structures." The capitalist system is stabilized by alternating between two primary tactics- making concessions to global social movements and then lauding the concessions to generate general approval -- and engaging themselves in wars to raise nationalist sentiment. For a lucid illustration of this, read The Twentieth Century by Howard Zinn. There was all-out class war in the United States and Socialist entities were becoming too formidable. World Wars I and II and the New Deal served the dual purpose of giving an excuse to imprison movement leaders, generate nationalist sentiment, and make the necessary economic concessions to re-stabilize the economic and social system.
Old movements have collapsed, and concessions are no longer being made. Right now, most are slumbering in the ether of apathy. Wallerstein is optimistic, though, and believes that the apathy is only a brief way-station. So, he then gives us a job: "The task of liberation movements, no longer necessarily national liberation movements, is to take serious stock of the crisis of the system, the impasse of their past strategy, and force the genie of world popular discontent that has been unleashed precisely by the collapse of the old movements. It is a movement for utopistics, for intensive, rigorous analysis of historical alternatives." (Utopistics is a term he coined. I'll explain it in a later note summarizing the book "Utopistics.")
There are other factors to complicate things further for global capital, and American capitalism specifically -- that would be our current position in the two most important cyclical rhythms of the capitalist mode of production. Those are Kondratieff cycles and hegemonic cycles.
We are at the end of the American hegemonic cycle. We are no longer the sole superpowers, no matter how much many of us would delude ourselves to believe. We are now seeing a triad: The United States, East Asia (being led by China and Japan) and Europe...and the United states is slipping. Europe has a more stable mode of production and east Asia has vast technological resources and distinct lack of labor laws.
We are on the downswing of a hegemonic cycle and we are also in a Kondratieff B-phase. Kondratieff cycles are 50/60 year cycles where the primary sources alternate between the sphere of production and the financial arena. During the A -phase, production expands and demand is at a high. A-phases occur when production exceeds real effective demand. This leads to a downturn in the system where the primary source of profit becomes speculation and financial manipulation. There are four different methods to return to an A-phase. Two are only short-term fixes and only create wider cyclical fluctuations, endangering the system in the long run and two are more effective middle-term fixes and can serve to bring the cycles closer to equilibrium. Of course, the second set runs against the logic of capitalism and they are discarded.
FIX NUMBER ONE: Slow production until supply meets demand. But as Wallerstein says, nobody wants to be a sacrificial lamb in capitalism.
FIX NUMBER TWO: This of course is the road taken as far as production goes in this paradigm: increase the production of goods. This increase may lower the actual amount of profit, but because more units are being pumped out, overall profit levels are maintained. This creates a problem: how are you to produce so much and still keep the labor costs down? This leads us to commonly taken road number two...and fix number three on our list.....
FIX NUMBER THREE: Relocate productive forces to a region where cost of labor can be minimized and ecological costs can be externalized, relocate to the global south. And then there's:
FIX NUMBER FOUR: This, too, is the road less taken -- raise wage rates to increase consumption. Or, bring the bottom up to raise the rest. This could never happen in our "trickle-down" world.
So we need to start intensively rethinking the way things are and the way that they could be. The rest of Wallerstein's book is a call to social scientists to reform their systems of analysis and begin working in a new way. Bastardizing and modifying the words of Kenneth M. Stokes: As the scale of society and its economic and social interactions increase, the scope of analysis paradoxically decreases. Here are a few of the difficulties created in our contemporary system that need to be overcome in order create new modes of existence.
The split between science and the humanities: before the Enlightenment period, intellectual authority rested in the Church. Theologians were the moral compass. But then came the rise in science, and the intellectual authority of the religious caste was cast aside. Philosophers were to be the ones to contemplate the "good" and "beautiful" and scientists were the ones to analyze what is and only what is, without qualitative judgment. Science shunned philosophers as the new theologians and there was then a rift between the sciences and the humanities. Why can we not work at building a good society based on solid empirical truth?
There were other rifts created, such as the Civilized/Other rift, the split between past/present, and state/market/society. All of these are inextricable parts of a whole and need to be mended to truly address our current situation.
Physics and thermodynamics in social systems is something that I'm going to passionately study in the years to come, because at the end of the current paradigm we need to create new structures. For example, it is going to take a lot of work to challenge the educational and political institutions about the idea that the economy is not a closed system eventually capable of equilibrium. This belief will be our demise. We live in an open metabolic system capable of only quasi-equilibrium. Entropy, or the arrow of time challenges our belief in Newtonian Determinism which has social, economic, and even religious ramifications- see the following link for an intriguing example: http://www.stjohnadulted.org/sc_trueb.htm
Sorry, it's hard not to swing onto tiny tangents. Back to the task: Wallerstein believes that social science will be the theater in which the battle is won or lost and throughout the rest of the book, he talks about the structural and practical problems with contemporary social science. I won't go into this, because I've read it and can re-reference this. And if you had the patience to read this and if you were even remotely intrigued, you should read the durned book.
Conrad told me about the Chinese curse as I rode by him yesterday "May you always live in interesting times." We are indeed living in one of the most interesting and uncertain and frightening and beautiful times in human history, and as Wallerstein quotes Wordsworth "bliss was it in that dawn to be alive/But to be young was very heaven."

Chapter 3.3Mature
Lucy waved goodbye as she left the bus, ignoring Melissa's hostile expression through the dirty bus window. The moment she got home and locked the door she slid down to the floor, taking calming breaths. How on earth she managed all that without a panic attack was an utter miracle. Dr Franklin would tell her it was a mark of how much progress they had made. No, how much progress she had made. It didn't feel like a lot though; not when her body still reacted with a fight or flight instinct. She hung up her coat and walked into the dining room where she dumped her bag. She made a beeline for the kitchen and glanced through the cupboard. She didn't feel interested in anything big and opted for a pasta bake.
She threw some pasta in a pot to boil and started cutting. The onions, garlic and bacon didn't take long to fry. She added the pasta sauce to the mix just as the pasta finished cooking. She drained it and mixed it all together in the pot. Once it was in a casserole dish in the oven she let out a small sigh. She was crouched in front of the oven window, listening to the fan. This stuff she found relaxing, and it was a nice reprieve from such a crazy day of confusing social interactions. Dr Franklin had established in their first session she was mildly Aspergers, and when he had explained it to her it made total sense. She set the timer and walked over to the phone. She hadn't bothered checking messages this morning, already knowing what it would say.
"Hey Honey," her dad began, his tone speaking ana pology before he said the words. "Sorry but I won't be home for another few days, big things at the lab. I hope your session with Dr Franklin goes well. Text me if you need anything. Love you and bye." Lucy put the phone back in the cradle and starred at it for a few moments. She wanted to text and say she needed her dad around more than once a day every two or three weeks, but that wouldn't make a difference. Her dad worked with big guys, doing big secret things. It paid a lot of money, but it had a lot of overtime. There was a period where she hadn't minded so much. It meant all the books in the world, but even she grew tired of running away to imaginary worlds. Speaking of tired, she wondered if she could manage a dream-free ten minute power nap. She had done it a few times, only reaching nightmareville at the very end before she had to get up.
The calming sound of morning bird calls and traffic reached her ears. Lucy took in the pine forest and the dim morning light filtering through the trees. She'd never seen a forest so dense and alive with sound. The wind rustled the leaves, giving them voices of their own. Small puddles reflected the greenery as Lucy walked. The mud was thick and wet, but not slippery. She brushed her hand over rough bark and let out a relieved breath. The compendium of the forest surrounded her, allowing her to feel tranquil for the first time in a long time while asleep. She shut her eyes and breathed in the dew and damp. When she opened them again, there was a childish spark and free grin on her face.
She turned quickly and began to climb the well spaced branches. Down here all she saw was splashes of pure light, but she wanted to see the forest and the sky from up high. A murmur in the back of her mind called to her and she frowned. A past memory trying to make its way to her. When she couldn't grasp it she gave up and kept climbing. She raced the top easily, the bark not hurting or scratching her. This really was a good dream, how had she managed that? Was it because she'd overcome some of her fears in real life? She stopped over-analysing when she emerged from the leaves. Her took a deep, astounded breath as she took in the never ending sea of trees. Above her was a clear sky of blue, she could only spot one idle little, white cloud. She leaned forward, resting her forearms on the flat top of the top. She shut her eyes to enjoy the feel of the soft breeze. The sound of a roar snapped them open.
Memories of her last dream started seeping back to her. She looked up, realising her error. There were no clouds this time. The only thing hiding her was the forest, and she'd just given herself away. She scrabbled down quickly, hissing when she caught her ankles halfway down. When she was back on the forest floor she heard another roar, closer. Was the boy going to appear to wake her up? A shadow passed over her and she looked up. She'd dreamt up a lot of scary crap, but this had to take the cherry. The creature was easily ten times her size, it's claws slicing trees in half as it tried to settle. It scales were a mix of black and grey. It's eyes were as red and malicious as she remembered. It's maw was short and stretched into what she thought was a grin, displaying sharp, terrifying teeth. Lucy had never been scared of dragons growing up, she'd found them cute and had a live long love for Draco from Dragonheart.
She raced over the floor and very quickly slipped. So much for thinking her surroundings were going to be nice to her. She fell backwards and cringed as damp mud clung to her shirt, bare arms and hair. She didn't get to mourn her appearance for long though, because the dragon was still getting closer. She could hear the sound of powerful wings beating through the air. It had looked straight at her, and probably had no issues tracking her movements. She slipped again but managed to control the momentum, slinging herself forward. She grinned momentarily, thinking she'd be fine – then she collided with a tree.
"Ow," she muttered, wincing. Her could feel blood dripping down her cheek. She told herself not to panic about that. Head wounds always bled lots, also this was a dream. She reminded herself of that very strongly with gritted teeth. She rubbed the sides of her head and concentrated.
"Wake up," she repeated quietly to herself. "It's just a dream, you have full control." She kept saying the mantra to herself, squeezing her eyes shut. She felt warm air roll over her and froze. The wings had stopped, the birds had stopped, even the breeze had disappeared.
"You're right behind me, aren't you," Lucy sighed, refusing to open her eyes. She felt the creatures breath get closer and wondered if being eaten would finally wake her up. Then a bright flash of light shown through her eyelids, following by crackles that sounded like lightning. She spun to see the dragon being thrown through trees, the bark snapping and ripping with loud, painful force.
"You never have control," a voice muttered behind her. Lucy glanced over her shoulder, remembering the boy from last time. His tattoos had changed again, slowly moving as she studied him.
"What is that thing?" Lucy half yelled. He met her eyes briefly, the shimmering violet depths almost distracting her from the very real fear she was experiencing.
"Just another nightmare brought to life by humans," he huffed. "Wake up," he commanded, before Lucy could open her lips and form another question. She expected it to be like last time, where she could ignore him. Except the timer went off.
