Just found out my job is moving groups. I will no longer be reporting in to the group where my EA occurred last year.
I have no desire to work in the new group I'm moving to.
And I feel so mad because now my H doesn't have to worry about any work related contact on my end. But he still works with both OW (in the same dept) and likely will for the duration of his career.
H has been great. And supportive. Which just pisses me off. Like, where was this highly evolved person before??
I told him that he won and that it's not fair. He asked me if I was six.
And then he did a really emotionally healthy thing and said "I'm just gonna give you some space to work this out. You let me know when you want to talk."
I know I should be thrilled over his support and the way he's dealing with this. And the fact he hasn't outwardly gloated once. I just want to cry. Not because I want to stay where I'm at but because I feel like I'm just always in the one down position with how everything shakes out.
And I have to suck it up and be the grown up now, which is what I've had to do my whole freaking life.
I know I'm whining. I don't even know what I want so how can I articulate what I need??
And I know it's stupid to be upset about this but I just hate that he really is probably always going to work there and there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. And now he gets to worry less. And says to me "I trust you!"
Must be nice.
If you are moving past that aspect of it, and you need things to be even between you two, what is that about?
I am sorry you are being forced to move yours. ..
Unfortunately, it's not just as simple as finding a new job. And I think ultimately this is what it's all about. I never wanted him to be an officer. He did it anyway, without my support. We were together 10 years before he decided to do this so it was a real change from the person I knew. I absolutely knew our marriage would suffer and was fearful of the cheating aspect.
Of course all my worst fears came true. Doesn't help that he told me recently one of the reasons he cheated is because he had opportunity in that job that he never had before.
So...ultimately, the real issue is that I don't want him in this line of work. He's done everything he can to address my concerns and has had no contact with the ow, changed shifts, and a host of other steps to help me feel safe. But I really will never have any sort of ability to relax while he has this job. Which he plans on doing for another 15-20 years.
And what's the even steven part about? I don't know...probably feeling like I've suffered the most, I've given the most and at least I had something that kept him on his toes. Him trusting me is actually infuriating...being able to have that confidence that despite all the hell we've been through, he still gets to sleep at night knowing I do have some lines that just won't be crossed, even with the opportunity. I don't get to have that same level of comfort. Until he retires.
He did it anyway, without my support
This is pretty big. Is he still like this? Do feel like the new M that you are trying to rebuild is a true partnership where this would not happen again?
So it sounds like it the career in general that is a trigger for you. Does it continue to be a pretty big trigger for you?
When HL changed jobs about a year and a half into our R it seemed like a really good thing for us. Where he worked was a huge trigger for me. Then he managed to have his next EA anyway, working from home. So that showed me that if they are determined to do something it will happen anywhere. The person has to change, not the circumstances so much. Could I handle him going back to work where he did for 18 yrs where he had so many bad boundaries, I would like to think so. But maybe not.
Do you feel that because he says he trusts you already that he wasn't hurt by what you did as deeply? Is that a measuring stick for you?
Without question, it could happen anywhere. And he's probably safer where he's at because his chain if command all know what happened, people know me, everything is monitored, etc.
But there is a ton of freedom in the job and things that I would have no way of validating. Plus it's a good ole boys club and they absolutely cover for each other. Part of the taking a bullet for each other I guess. And yes, that's painting with a broad brush and no I don't think he would but...you get what I mean.
It's not just a job. It's a lifestyle and a community. In which, many people know our business and I hate that too. It's very incestual. I hate, hate, hate it.
So here we are. Love him, tolerate his job.
And yes. I hate that he doesn't hurt as bad. Because all of the "why's" for why he allowed himself to cheat lead back to FOO, CSA, poor coping mechanisms, depression, etc. things that had nothing to do with me but I'm the one he hurt the most.
I wanted him to hurt in return but it never came close. And now he's moved passes my indiscretion like it was a momentary lapse in sanity.
Like he never has to worry about me being with someone else because why would I want anyone but him??
I mean, of course he never says any of that. And will tell me he doesn't feel that way at all once he reads this. And then he will say a bunch of other really healthy shit.
It's all a bit maddening for me.

*The following steps should also apply to other printer models as well, though you will need to substitute printer specific information where appropriate.
NOTE: this tutorial assumes that you have already manually installed the Epson print drivers for linux. If you have not done so already get the drivers and install them before you start: http://avasys.jp/eng/linux_driver/downl ... jet/escpr/
Getting this to work was always pretty easy on Ubuntu, however, on debian it's a bit of a chore. This seems to be the result of some problems with gutenprint. There are two error messages that we'll need to handle in order to fix this:
1. The printer's state message is: 'File '/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc' not found'
2. stopped
"/usr/lib/cups/filter/pdftoraster-poppler failed"
(or something similar)
More than likely, if you're trying to setup your printer you've only seen the first error. By following this tutorial we'll fix that error and make it so you won't have to see the second.
1. The first thing we'll need to do is install some generic icc profiles. Run the command:
sudo aptitude install icc-profiles
This should install a bunch of icc proflies in /usr/share/color/icc.
2. Change the permissions on one of the icc profiles:
sudo chmod 755 /usr/share/color/icc/sRGB.icc
3. Open the problem file in a text editor:
sudo gedit /etc/cups/ppd/Stylus-Photo-R2880.ppd
4. Look for the line that says
*cupsICCProfile RGB../Color: "/System/Library/ColorSync/Profiles/sRGB Profile.icc" and comment it out or delete it (I prefer the former).
5. Add this line in place of the line you commented out or deleted:
*cupsICCProfile RGB../Color: "/usr/share/color/icc/sRGB.icc"
The important thing here is that you point it to the true location of an sRGB.icc file.
You may need to do something similar for black and white printing as well if you print in black and white.
6. Save the file.
7. In the command line go to the following directory by typing:
cd /usr/lib/cups/filter/
8. Change the name of the pdftoraster-poppler file.
sudo mv pdftoraster-poppler pdftoraster-popplerBACKUP
9. Make a symlink. This will make the calls to pdftoraster-poppler point to pdftoraster:
sudo ln -s pdftoraster pdftoraster-poppler
10. restart cups
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
That's it! You should now be able to print on your Epson Stylus Photo R2880. I hope this was helpful to somebody.

Is borderless photo printing working correctly for you?
I've an Epson Stylus Photo 2200 and it works nicely in Ubuntu 10.04 except borderless prints are not borderless.
I'll try it in LMDE if borderless is working for you.

Here is a challenge to PSU atheists:
I, a christian raised and living in the Bible Belt, would like to have a debate. I would like to have this religious hot topic debate with an atheist on PSU. It can be anyone and any member who is an atheist. It can even be a new member.
The Rules?
1. The Debate can ONLY be 5 pages. If I or the atheist member refutes something or a post and their post is the last on the 5th page, they automatically win no matter what I say next.
2. ONLY ONE atheist can have this debate with me. No one else. If another atheist comes along and posts something that helps the atheist, the debate is over and no one wins. If a christian comes along and helps me, then the debate is over and no one wins.
3. No flaming or insults. I will not insult whoever the atheist is and I expect the same. If he says, "You're a blah blah blah." Debate is over. If he says, "Christianity is blah blah blah." Then we continue.
4. Follow PSU rules during this debate. Be nice, don't be rude.
5. The Debate or discussion will be over one topic. It can be abortion, women's rights, and even does God even exist. The atheist picks the topic. It can only be ONE topic, we must not stray from the topic.
Finally, what happens if the atheist wins?
I WILL become an atheist from the date of the debate, for 1 month. I have to be an atheist for 1 month.
If I win?
The atheist becomes a christian for 1 month at the date at the end of the debate.
How to get started?
An atheist MUST post in this thread saying they want to debate and they must name his or her topic.
The first atheist who does this will be the one I debate against. First serve, first come basis.
Others may post in the thread, but I ask please refrain from helping anyone or any points.
Thank you.

I think the best thing you can do is try to is, as objectively as possible, judge the rationale given by your opponent. And come out of the debate reevaluating your mindset in some way. Try to be critical minded for yourself and honest with your arguments. That will create a much better end result for yourself and whoever you argue with.

Is J.J. Watt the clear favorite for Defensive MVP?
John LopezCo-host of In The Loop, SportsRadio 610 #LopezonSports
J.J. Watt is having the kind of season that comes along once a decade at best. He is the hands-down best defensive player in football and should get some NFL MVP votes as well.
The only reason it's even a debate between Watt, Von Mller and Alden Smith is because sack numbers means headlines. Miller and Smith are fantastic players with lots of sacks.
But compared to Watt, their overall seasons pale in comparison.
Nick WrightCo-host of In The Loop, SportsRadio 610 #getnickwright
He certainly is. While Von Miller is having a really tremendous season, JJ's individual production is unprecedented for his position or any other. Also, when you add in the fact that his team has the best record in the NFL, this should be a slam dunk.

Hey all,
Well I have this kind of stupid problem with my wii xD
It was hardmodded until some time ago when I unknowingly ruined my dvd drive.
Not really a problem since it was also softmodded. I "converted" it to run games from a external hard disk.
I kind of accidently became aware of my problem. When the ribbon cable of my dvd drive is not correctly plugged in my wii wont load any of my games and channels. It gives me : an error occured, eject disk - error screen.
More info on Wii:
Softmodded on 3.2e
Did al kinds of cIOS installing and stuff, dont really know everything that is installed
LEH serial.
Dont know if I posted this in the right section
So, if someone knows a solution, because the brown clip thingie that holds the ribbon cable tight isnt really al that sturdy anymore and could break of real soon, please let me know something

Ramey, Skjei, Behrens voted into Tribune's Hall of Fame
Two former area athletes who went on to become college football teammates at the University of Minnesota and later became successful high school coaches, along with a former standout prep athlete who went on to a highly successful collegiate basketball career, have been inducted into the West Central Tribune Sports Hall of Fame.
Atwater native Deryl Ramey, Appleton native Stan Skjei and Morris native Becky (Moen) Behrens were all voted into the Hall of Fame on Wednesday. They will join the previous 21 inductees since the Hall of Fame began in 1999.
With 24 of the 26 ballots returned, finalists needed at least 96 points to be enshrined. Ramey was the top vote-getter with 131 points, including five first-place votes. Skjei was second with 125 points and had the most first-place votes with six. Moen, who narrowly missed being inducted two years ago, finished with 97.5 points and also had five first-place votes.
The other finalists were Tracy Grussing (60 points, three first-place votes), Norm Sixta (50, 2), Rick Meyer (45.5, 1), Tom Beyer (42, 1), Cindy Haugejorde (34, 1), Jon Lilleberg (22) and Jeff Gallagher (19).
After an outstanding prep career at Atwater, graduating in 1962, Ramey played football for the Gophers as a punter, center and linebacker. He coached high school football at Atwater for four years, Sauk Centre for two years and Willmar for 19 years. Willmar won six conference titles under him. Ramey finished his prep coaching career with a 163-98-4 record. He was also the boys and girls track coach at Willmar for 26 years and served as an assistant girls basketball coach for many years.
Ramey also coached football at UM-Crookston junior college for four years, winning three state championships, including a perfect 9-0 mark in 1973. He also served as the University of North Dakota defensive coordinator for one season.
Ramey was inducted into the Minnesota State Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2004.
"I'm privileged," said Ramey when informed of his induction Monday night. "It's really an honor to have my name beside the others. I'm humbled."
Ramey is still a volunteer assistant football coach in Brainerd. He and his wife, Nancy, reside in Baxter, near Brainerd.
Skjei won the Tribune's first Hengstler Award (now Hengstler-Ranweiler Award) in 1961 for Appleton. The four-sport athlete earned 13 letters, including four in football. He was All-State in both football and basketball.
After playing three seasons with the Gophers as a punter and cornerback, Skjei went on to coach high school football at Bloomington Jefferson for 13 seasons. His quarterback at one time was Lane Kiffin, currently the head football coach at USC. His 1994 team reached the Class AAA (then a three-class tournament) state semifinals and he was named the Metro Coach of the Year. Skjei also coached girls basketball for three seasons at Jefferson.
"To be going in with Deryl is very special," said Skjei, by telephone in Fort Myers, Fla., where he and his wife, Judy, live in the winter. "We were best friends in college. I still see him and talk to him a lot. Growing up in west central Minnesota, the people were very special. And being selected for this ... well, it's a great feeling. What a great honor."
Skjei, who also coached one year for a professional football team in Italty, was named to the Minnesota State Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 2005, as well as the Bloomington Amateur Sports Hall of Fame in 2004 and the Bloomington Jefferson Hall of Fame in 2002. He and his wife work for Edina Realty and reside in Lakeville.
Behrens won the Hengstler-Ranweiler Award in 1999 and was also the KSAX-TV Female Athlete of the Year, earning 13 letters in basketball, volleyball and track. She was a three-time All-Area selection in basketball and finished her prep career with 1,748 points, the seventh most all-time in the area. She also led Morris to a third-place finish in the state tournament her senior year after scoring 35 points in a semifinal loss to Blake.
In track, Behrens still holds the school record in the high jump and made four state appearances in her career, finishing third in the high jump her senior year.
She was also a standout in volleyball, having been named first team All-Area as a hitter her senior year when she was also named the Most Valuable Player in the West Central South Conference. She finished her career with 738 kills.
"This is definitely an honor," said Behrens by telephone on Monday night. I had some fabulous experiences in high school and college and this really is a special way to remember them."
Behrens excelled at basketball in college with the University of North Dakota. She was named to the all-tournament team after leading UND to an NCAA Division II national runner-up finish her sophomore year. She led the Northern Collegiate Conference twice in scoring, was a two-time Most Valuable Player in the NCC, was the MVP of the NCC tournament three times and was All-American twice. She owns the single-season scoring record at UND with 657 points and is third all-time in scoring with 1,762 points.
She was selected as the North Dakota Woman Athlete of the Year in 2003.
Behrens and her husband, Kyle, have one son and another due in two months. She is currently a physical therapist in Menomonie, Wis.

Alumni Asked To Join The Club
The university wants to ensure that it is supporting students and graduates as they move into their careers. In order to do that, the UNH Alumni Association is working hard to enhance mentoring and career networking programs.
But the association needs help updating the UNH alumni database. That's why it has recently begun an email and social media campaign encouraging alumni to share their current contact and employment information.
"When you share your contact information with us, you assist past and future alumni with their career development," says Steve Donovan, the association's executive director. "A robust alumni network is a powerful component of what makes UNH a great university."
Donovan says the alumni career network will be strengthened by those who have enjoyed lifelong careers as well as those who have changed careers several times since they graduated. "Your on-the-job experiences are exactly what our current students and alumni need to succeed," he says.
Finally, fresh data will enable UNH to alert alumni to exciting programs and events that are occurring not in only in Durham but throughout the country year round.

In Defense of Sarepta's Chris Garabedian
(Page 2 of 2)
Sarepta's phase IIb study of only 12 DMD patients, 2 of which sadly dropped out of the walking portion early, was not robust enough to seek early approval, I think the time had arrived to go for it. For example, political support for speeding up what I believe is exactly this type of program could not be any clearer. In July of 2012, Congress passed the FDASIA legislation. Among other things, FDASIA argued for expedited paths to approval for breakthrough therapies (Sarepta technically did not apply for this specific designation), it had a provision that explicitly asked FDA's Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and Centers for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) to come up with policy related to patient outreach and advancing drug development for rare diseases, and offered a pediatric rare disease review voucher that was meant as extra incentive for companies to go after these diseases. Those signals show how there is a lot of outside support for programs like this, and a need for change, so I think publicly seeking them was entirely appropriate.
Second, you cannot ignore the human factor. There are no approved treatments that seek to correct the cause of DMD, so as you can imagine, families have an incredible sense of urgency to do anything to help their children who have this condition. In fact, if you discuss biotech on Twitter, you may have come across a DMD patient advocate, many of whom sadly use the hourglass as their avatar and a symbol of what they are up against. It is heartbreaking to think what these families must be going through.
Given that, put yourself in Mr. Garabedian's position. You can bet he receives phone calls and letters, probably every day, from families urgently asking him for help. In my opinion, if you are in his shoes, receiving calls for help like that every day, and you believe your drug works, the only choice is to push for rapid approval. I follow this very closely and can tell you that he has always done so in an entirely appropriate, ethical, professional, and level way with both those families and the regulators. He has been careful not to overhype the results Sarepta has seen, and not to try to bulldoze his way through the FDA.
Third, it is not his fault that a competitor's drug (Prosensa and GlaxoSmithKline's drisapersen) with similar, but very different, characteristics failed a large study a couple of months ago. Those that criticize Sarepta's goal of seeking early approval seem to forget that FDA signaled this summer that they were open to accepting such a filing for review. It wasn't until after the competitor failed (and a natural history study from another DMD candidate was recently published) that FDA changed its mind and insisted that the 12-patient study doesn't provide enough evidence for Sarepta to seek approval. I do not see how any of that is Garabedian's fault. I also do not see how Sarepta could have kept FDA's previous willingness to review a filing private considering how patient interest in this issue is so high and urgent. In my opinion, he did the right thing to seek the go ahead to file, he basically received it, and it is not his fault that outside circumstances have so unfortunately changed the situation. None of that was foreseeable, so you cannot hold it against him.
I would just like to conclude by saying that I think Chris Garabedian and his team deserve not only a break on this, but tons of gratitude and respect for their hard work, under an insane amount of pressure, over the last year and a half. There is no doubt this has been a very disappointing week. However, his leadership has already moved mountains to get us where we are, and while this week's news frankly stinks, I cannot think of a better person to manage the company back to a path of ultimate success. Hindsight is always 20/20, but I still would not change a thing about the way this was managed. I'm immensely proud and supportive of the work he has done.

LONG BEACH >> Winning the mayor's race will cost Robert Garcia his seat on the California Coastal Commission.
Members serving on the powerful commission, which has vast authority to regulate land use along the state's 1,100-mile coastline, must be county supervisors or city council members from the regions they represent, according to a legal analysis by the California Attorney General's Office.
Garcia, the vice mayor and 1st District councilman, would not be on the City Council as mayor under Long Beach's charter, which creates separate roles for the offices, the analysis states.
The city charter stipulates that the mayor presides at council meetings and may participate in the body's deliberations but has no vote. The mayor may veto the council's decisions, but council members can override the veto.
Coastal Commission Executive Director Charles Lester has notified Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, D-Sacramento, that Garcia may serve on the commission until Sept. 13 — 60 days after his council term expires on July 15 and he becomes mayor — after which his position becomes vacant.
Steinberg chairs the Senate Rules Committee, which handles appointments for the commission. His spokesman, Mark Hedlund, said Monday the committee is expected to be able to make a selection by the last week of this year's legislative sessions that begin Aug. 25.
Garcia was appointed to the commission in January 2013 to represent the South Coast District and had expressed hope that he would be able to retain the seat.
"I have been incredibly impressed by the commitment of the commissioners and staff to coastal protection," said Garcia. "I look forward to working with the commission as mayor."

Petition to remove Washington DC as the seat of governance for the United States
We the undersigned citizens of the United States of America agree that Washington DC, with specific reference to the organized Senate, House of Representatives (legislative), Executive and Judicial branch of government has become dysfunctional, self serving, disloyal to the constitution that gave it birth and is no longer serving the will of the people in terms of their liberty and their collective sovereignty as a nation. We believe even our security as a free people to be threatened by near treasonous interactions with admitted enemies including financial and military aid to them and agreements to international treaties that conflict with our constitutional will, holding us submissive to the edicts of "world governing" bodies. We believe that our existing government has shirked fiscal responsibility to near if not irreparable levels and is collectively and unquestionably guilty of failure to uphold their oath of office as a governing body by, among other things, failing to pass and adhere to a fiscal budget for our nation as required by our constitution. We are aware of an apparent erosion of our first amendment rights wherein our right to peaceful petition has been denied in any area where "secret service" protection for officials is present, and that with the threat of felony charges. We are aware of threats to remove or obstruct our second amendment rights and of the lack of representation pertinent to a host of bills and regulations now law and as we speak, becoming law in our nation - and becoming so at the behest of unelected officials with no congressional oversight. We are concerned for the preservation of our safety and privacy due to unchecked technological advances in surveillance, domestic military/law enforcement capability and clear laws regulating it. We are aware of the increasing division among us brought on by inflamatory and accusatory rhetoric from public officials. We disagree with the wide range of power the office of the president has accrued relative to executive order. We believe that our fiscal responsibility as a nation is urgent, demanding attention, and see a governance apparently unwilling to take even reasonable action to effect that responsibility. We are concerned for our nation and have a government that is not. There are many and specific grievances not listed here. In short we have a government that is either negligently or deliberately not on the job. For the lifestyle that our tax dollars afford these people - en-masse - it is inconceivable to most of us that it is asking too much to expect them to accomplish the task of successfully keeping our government in order. As citizens and the ultimate holders of our own governance as gauranteed by our constitution we wish to rescind all governing power given the executive, legislative and judicial branches that now preside and form a new union, new governance and at a new center while upholding our constitution rather than dismantling it. This as opposed to state by state secession and in order to preserve a union of united states. As a unified body we have not failed! But the corrupt government that serves us has. We believe it has failed us, will continue to fail us and by the deteriorating effects of immoral, nonsensical corruption it endangers us. We believe there are definitive and irreconcilable differences that demand it's de-funding, dissolution and reestablishment. Washington is a lost cause. Please join me in my petition.

PSG salvage draw after own goal
Paris Saint-Germain drew 2-2 with Lille on Sunday in Ligue 1 to extend their lead to three points at the halfway stage.
Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic gave PSG the lead in the 36th minute with a 25-yard free kick that took a deflection off the Lille wall.
But Lille captain Rio Mavuba pounced on a low cross from Salomon Kalou to level with a first-time effort in the 44th before Kalou converted a penalty in the 53rd minute.
The hosts equalised with an own goal from Lille centerback Marko Basa in the 72nd minute.
Tensions sometimes flared in a match pitting the most prolific offense in the league, PSG, against the tightest defense, Lille. Mavuba and Ibrahimovic were booked for shoving each other in the 40th minute.
Lille stayed in third place, one point behind Monaco.
Also Sunday, Marseille rallied from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 with Bordeaux.
At Stade Velodrome, Bordeaux converted their first scoring chance when Brazilian striker Jussie outjumped Marseille midfielder Alaixys Romao to head in a corner in the 34th minute.
Bordeaux forward Nicolas Maurice-Belay capitalised on a mistake from Kassim Abdallah to double the lead with a low diagonal strike in the 66th minute.
However, a lapse of concentration by Bordeaux players allowed the hosts to equalise quickly. Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso palmed a free kick from Florian Thauvin into the path of Romao, who flicked home in the 73rd minute.
Marseille striker Andre-Pierre Gignac then beat Maxime Poundje to the ball to convert a cross from Benjamin Mendy a minute later.
Bordeaux stayed in fourth place in the table and Marseille is sixth.
Lyon conceded a 2-2 draw at Lorient in the last minute of stoppage time but ended Lorient's five-game winning streak.
Yoann Gourcuff set up Lyon midfielder Clement Grenier, who opened the scoring with a first-time effort in the bottom corner in the 21st minute. Lyon striker Bafetimbi Gomis made it 2-0 by converting a rebound after goalkeeper Baptiste Reynet parried an attempt from Alexandre Lacazette in the 49th minute.
But Lorient forward Vincent Aboubakar cut Lyon's lead to 2-1 by notching his 11th league goal this season with a low strike in the 60th before substitute Alain Traore headed in a cross from Raphael Guerreiro in the third minute of stoppage time.

Strong microfluidic vortices are generated when a near-infrared (1,064 nm) laser beam is focused within a microchannel and an alternating current (AC) electric field is simultaneously applied. The electric field is generated from a parallel-plate, indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes separated by 50 lm. We present the first l-PIV analysis of the flow structure of such vortices. The vortices exhibit a sink-type behavior in the plane normal to the electric field and the flow speeds are characterized as a function of the electric field strength and biasing AC signal frequency. At a constant AC frequency of 100 kHz, the fluid velocity increases as the square of the electric field strength. At constant electric field strength fluid velocity does not change appreciably in the 30–50 kHz range and it decreases at larger frequencies ([1 MHz) until at approximately 5 MHz when Brownian motion dominates the movement of the 300 nm l-PIV tracer particles. Presence of strongly focused laser beams in an interdigitated-electrode configuration can also lead to strong microfluidic vortices. When the center of the illumination is focused in the middle of an electrode strip, particles experiencing negative dielectrophoresis are carried towards the illumination and aggregate in this area.

CANOVA BEACH (AP) -- Marine biologists are excited about the teaching possibilities created by a dead humpback whale that washed ashore in Brevard County.
Duane De Freese, vice president of Florida research for Hubbs-SeaWorld Research Institute in Orlando, wants the bones of the 33-foot whale to ultimately rest in a new research institute Orlando-based Hubbs plans to build in south Brevard County.
It's rare for local researchers to have the opportunity to salvage a humpback in Florida, where only a few are sighted each year, De Freese said Monday.
"These guys are blue water, open ocean animals," he said. "These can be powerful education tools, and of course kids love looking at bones."
Hubbs plans to build a new research facility within the next few years on donated land along the Indian River Lagoon three miles north of Sebastian Inlet.
The whale was washed up Sunday on Canova Beach, east of Melbourne.
Biologists, pointing to several cracked vertebrae, suspect the juvenile whale had been struck by a vessel.
Usually, biologists are required to gather tissue samples of endangered marine mammals that wash ashore.
But Monday's salvage was of a carcass too decomposed for any useful analysis, biologists on the scene said. Instead, they marked each bone with a number, took photos of the carcass and then cleaned away as much flesh as they could. The flesh was buried in nearby sand dunes.
The bones were taken to a site at Sebastian Inlet for cleaning and will be stored until a more permanent site is available.

On the face of it, private providers of higher education have never had it so good. Long regarded as a threat by many in the sector, they have been warmly welcomed by the coalition government. And business is booming. Yet senior figures in the private sector are getting anxious. They say they are still wrestling with a system that was not set up to accommodate them, and until changes are embedded by legislation, they face an uncertain future.
Private providers say there was considerable opposition from the last administration, with civil servants frequently barring their way with new pieces of inexplicable bureaucracy. The coalition has made no bones about its willingness to embrace private provision.
For the first time this autumn, undergraduates studying a higher education course run by a private provider can access public loans of £6,000 a year to finance their degree. This falls short of the £9,000 available to students of other universities, but many providers say their overheads are sufficiently low that this price cap doesn't bother them.
While many public universities spent the summer fretting about exceeding student number limits in popular subjects and incurring fines, private institutions were free to recruit whoever they wanted.
Alan Jenkins, principal of private giant Kaplan's newest HE partnership, the Edge Hotel School, says: "There is certainly a lack of hostility to private providers now, which is a real improvement." However, he says: "It's not necessarily policy that holds us back, but implementing new models, such as changing the degree calendar, within the old system is harder than it should be."
Though private provision is still a tiny proportion of the whole sector, interest from students is soaring. Total applications to the University of Buckingham were up nearly 90% this year, notwithstanding its £9,000 fees. Meanwhile, for-profit BPP University College had a hefty 125% increase, and the private ifs School of Finance was up nearly 113%. This is striking at a time when applications across the sector as a whole have declined.
Prof Terence Kealey, vice-chancellor of Buckingham, says that the feeling of otherness he had experienced since taking over the private institution has "evaporated". But he says many of his counterparts in the public sector don't share his excitement. "I was at a forum with a large number of vice-chancellors and they were all moaning about how unfair it all was, saying it wasn't a level playing field."
But while some in the public sector are smarting about the freedoms given to their new bedfellows, private providers fear insecurity. There is no doubt that this is a political hot potato. Legislation to embed the new changes formed part of the planned higher education bill, but this was shelved by the government earlier this year following concerns in No 10.
Paul Marshall, chief executive of the Association of Business Schools, explains: "Private providers benefit from being outside the system and right now they can expand provision massively, but what happens if Labour comes in and stops all this? The risk is very high for investors."
One major area of uncertainty is student numbers. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has made it clear that the number of loans available to students at private institutions will not remain uncapped, and it is consulting on how to achieve this.
Carl Lygo, chief executive of BPP, sees this change as inevitable. "In this environment, where student numbers are falling and university leaders are panicking, if the public universities can use an opportunity to get the government to protect them they will," he says. Yet he is "relaxed" about the idea of bidding for numbers from a general pot, confident that BPP can demonstrate value for money and quality.
Gavin Shreeve, principal at the ifs School, believes the coalition is siding with the public sector: "The numbers involved in private higher education are minute compared to numbers elsewhere, so this is entirely political," he says.
Lygo points out that long-term planning on the domestic undergraduate market is all but impossible until the loan capping issue is resolved. "Where the government will have difficulty is how do you encourage new providers to come into such a controlled environment?" he says.
Shreeve's major bugbear, though, is over degree-awarding powers. His institution was given the right to award its own degrees in 2010, following an arduous application process. He is angry that the institution will have to reapply to the Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) every six years. "It is fundamentally unfair," he says. "It was brought in with absolutely no justification, simply as a sop to the HE sector. Why six years? Why not five? Or 10? There is nothing rational about it."
Kai Peters, chief executive of Ashridge Business School, which won degree-awarding powers in 2008 after years of battling behind the scenes, describes the six-year cycle as "a Damocles sword hanging over one's head". He shudders to recall the application process: "It was awful – you needed a doctorate in QAA-speak."
Yet in many ways those with degree-awarding powers are the lucky ones. The London School of Business and Finance has experienced the potential vulnerability of relying on a partnership with an established university. The private institution was initially accredited by the University of Wales, which pulled the plug on its validation business last year, following a series of controversies over its linked colleges. The LSBF signed a new partnership with London Metropolitan University this year – and that university has now been stripped of its right to recruit international students by the UK Border Agency.
Prof James Kirkbride, LSBF's vice-rector, insists that it will be "standing alongside our strategic partner", adding that it would offer London Metropolitan's international students the chance to transfer over to LSBF.
Kirkbride walked away from a career in public universities when he took over as LSBF's vice-rector two years ago. He says he joined because of the freedom – but he hasn't found it. "Frustration has definitely been creeping in," he says.
Sally Hunt, general secretary of the University and College Union, says: "Private providers, especially for-profit ones, who complain about bureaucracy demonstrate breathtaking gall. Private providers are tapping the taxpayer for off-balance sheet, unregulated, under-scrutinised subsidies. No one knows how many students they recruit or how many complete their degrees."
Shreeve responds with indignation. "Mention private higher education and certain people will say quality will be compromised. I say to them you don't understand quality. If you get it wrong, you keep your job, your university doesn't close down, and the taxpayer continues to fund incompetence. I get it wrong and I go out of business."

WMSC confirms new points system
The World Motor Sport Council has today reached an agreement and confirms that the new points system will be instated for the upcoming Formula One season. It was believed that a new system was appropriate given the increased number of teams that will participate.
As of 2010, teams and drivers will score points as follows, awarded for their race finishing positions:
1st: 25 points
2nd: 20 points
3rd: 15 points
4th: 10 points
5th: 8 points
6th: 6 points
7th: 5 points
8th: 3 points
9th: 2 points
10th: 1 point
While the new system emphasizes the points difference between a win and the places behind, a small calculation shows that from recent years, none of the championships would have ended with a different winner. In fact, 2008 would also have been decided in favour of Hamilton with a one point advantage over Felipe Massa.

text: "Older people who have low expectations for a satisfying future may be more likely to live longer, healthier lives than those who see brighter days ahead, according to new research published by the American Psychological Association. "Our findings revealed that being overly optimistic in predicting a better future was associated with a greater risk of disability and death within the following decade," said lead author Frieder R. Lang, PhD, of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg in Germany. "Pessimism about the future may encourage people to live more carefully, taking health and safety precautions." The study was published online in the journal Psychology and Aging®. Lang and colleagues examined data collected from 1993 to 2003 for the national German Socio-Economic Panel, an annual survey of private households consisting of approximately 40,000 people 18 to 96 years old. The researchers divided the data according to age groups: 18 to 39 years old, 40 to 64 years old and 65 years old and above. Through mostly in-person interviews, respondents were asked to rate how satisfied they were with their lives and how satisfied they thought they would be in five years."

Next Sunday's itinerary: Easter service, followed by an Easter egg hunt, followed by Easter dinner.
If your holiday mainstays are feeling as stale as last year's Peeps, here's an alternative: rail travel — and right here in Arizona, no less.
Two hours up Interstate 17 in Clarkdale, the Verde Canyon Railroad runs one train per day (except Tuesdays) into its namesake gorge. On Easter Sunday, that train becomes the Easter Bunny Express.
"The bunny pops out around 11:30 (a.m.) and carries a basket of goodies and visits with the kids. He dances and does a Pied Piper kind of thing, with the kids following him around. We do face-painting on the patio, and we try to take a picture with every single kid. They're all posted on Flickr, and people can download theirs for free," says Teresa A. Propeck, spokeswoman for the railroad.
When the train pulls out of the station at 1 p.m., the bunny makes his last rounds on board, giving a jar of jellybeans to one winner, who usually ends up sharing with the entire train car.
"We only carry 400 people on our train, so it's really intimate," says Propeck. "The focus is on slowing down."
Pulled by a 1953 FP-7 diesel engine, the Verde Canyon Railroad's collection of restored vintage passenger cars roll into a scenic canyon cut by the Verde River at the base of the mountain where, uphill, the town of Jerome is perched. It's about 25 minutes from Sedona.
The tracks, laid in 1912 to carry freight to and from local mines, pass over vintage trestles and through a manmade tunnel that stretches 680 feet. They wend through a high desert landscape of soaring stone walls and stands of cottonwood, mesquite, juniper and sycamore trees.
"It can be a three and a half or four hour trip, depending on how fast we go, but when you're 1,800 feet down inside the canyon and you have open-air viewing cars you can go to any time, it goes fast," says Propeck.
Seating is available in two coach cars, where passengers may bring a boxed lunch or purchase food from an in-car snack counter. In first-class cars, tickets include comfier seats and a hot-and-cold appetizer spread. Drinks are available for purchase from a full bar.
Alfresco gondola cars, accessible at all times for all passengers, afford prime views.
"When you have American bald eagles nesting and Indian ruins and the river flowing along the trackline, you just never know what you'll see," says Propeck. "It's such a riparian area, sandwiched between the Sycamore Wilderness Area and the Prescott National Forest, we get great blue herons, the red-tailed hawks, the javelinas, deer. You can see so much with binoculars and even just a really good camera, because in some places it's a pretty tight canyon and you have some great views."
A recorded narration alerts passengers as the train approaches points of interest, and attendants placed in every car answer questions and snap family photos.
Wait time at the depot is tempered by the on-site Copper Spike Cafe, Boxcar Gift Shop and John Bell Museum, a remodeled boxcar containing artifacts and photos of the early days of copper mining and train transportation in the Verde Valley.
Propeck says the Easter Bunny Express sells out each year; at press time, half the seats on the train were still available.

The 1998/1999 season Knicks finished in 8th place, 1 game ahead of the 9th place Charlotte Hornets. For me that was probably my favorite New York sports team playoff run ever in any sport. However, if you could go back which would have been better for the franchise. Had they lost 1 more game that season then the Hornets would have got the 8th seed and the knicks would have finished in 9th. The Knicks would have won the lottery the next year like the Hornets did and got the 3rd pick. I'm almost certain they would have picked Baron Davis with PG the only logical position they could have improved at that time. Or maybe they trade with Vancouver to move up 1 spot to take Steve Francis.
I wonder how our future would have changed. Baron Davis/Steve Francis = no eventual trade for Marbury. Also maybe if that team missed the playoffs they would have realized the team needed to think about rebuilding. Maybe they let Ewing's contract run out instead of trading him for Glen Rice. Maybe they don't resign Allan Houston if they did not know if he could be clutch in the playoffs.
I'm not sure how much debate can come out of this...but I just would like to know if anyone else would trade one of their greatest Knick postseason memories if it meant possibly a completely different decade to follow.

Current Research:
Myocardial infarction is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality, especially in diabetic patients. The mechanisms underlying the increased susceptibility to cardiac injury in diabetic patients are not well understood. Our previous work has revealed a central role for the receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) in myocardial infarction, indicating that RAGE contributes to oxidative stress consequent to ischemia/reperfusion and influences mitochondrial dysfunction that accompanies injury to the heart. Ligands for RAGE are increased under diabetic conditions and after ischemia/reperfusion, leading to increased downstream signaling.
Our laboratory has discovered that the RAGE cytoplasmic domain interacts with diaphanous-1 (mDia-1), a member of the formin family and an effector of Rho GTPases. The overall goal of my research is to investigate RAGE/mDia1 signaling in cardiomyocytes in response to ischemia/reperfusion injury. My hypothesis is that cardiomyocyte-specific RAGE and mDia-1, both highly upregulated in the murine heart after ischemia/reperfusion, signal devastating metabolic consequences in the myocardium, which trigger mitochondrial dysfunction.

Future Plans:
I would like to stay in the field of academic research because it provides an environment to be creative and ask questions. In addition, I can work with students and teach them how to be problem-solvers. I enjoy explaining the basics of science, specifically biochemistry and physiology, in a way that others can understand to impart a strong foundation in science. I am passionate about doing research that leads to improvements in preventative care and it is important to perform novel mechanistic studies with clinical relevance. My long-term goal is to become an independent investigator in the cardiovascular disease field.

breaking news. At 6:29 P.M. EDT, H.R 1301 as
amended was considered on suspension and
passed by the U.S. House of Representatives.
It now goes to the U.S. Senate for
consideration. Thank you to all who helped
sign letters to their Representative. 73,
Kermit W9XA
July 21, 2016 -
ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, in
consultation with Central Division Director
Kermit Carlson, W9XA, has appointed R. Carl
Luetzelschwab, K9LA, to become the new Central
Division Vice Director. He fills a vacancy
created when Carlson became Director with the
recent retirement of Dick Isely, W9GIG.
Luetzelschwab is a resident of Ft. Wayne,
Indiana. Licensed since 1961, he is an ARRL
Life Member and is well known in the amateur
He is a frequent contributor
to many ARRL publications, and had previously

well as having earned 160 Meter DXCC. He is
considered one of the leading authorities on
HF propagation and has been a frequent
presenter at many hamfests and conventions,
including W9DXCC, Dayton Hamvention, and DX
"I plan to bring lots of
energy to the job and to be visible to the
members of the Central Division,"
Luetzelschwab said. "It is an honor to serve
and give back to the Amateur Radio service for
all that it has given me over the years. I am
looking forward to working with Kermit
Carlson, W9XA, whom I have known for a number
of years. And I would like to give a big thank
you to retired director Dick Isely, W9GIG, for
his friendship and many years of service. I
hope to emulate his visibility and
Luetzelschwab is married to
Vicky, AE9YL, and together they have
participated in several DXpeditions, including
YK9A, OJØ, and numerous trips to ZF, operating
as ZF2LA and ZF2YL. He retired in 2013 after
41 years as an RF Design Engineer with
Motorola and Raytheon (formerly Magnavox).
July 19, 2016 - Saying it
was time that the ARRL Central Division had a
younger leadership, Central Division Director
Dick Isely, W9GIG, of Saint Charles, Illinois,
has resigned from the League's Board of
Directors. He has been succeeded by Vice
Director Kermit Carlson, W9XA, of Batavia
"I'm 77 years old, and I still have pretty
good health, despite my slow recovery from a
shingles attack that hit me last December,"
Isely said in a public announcement. "However,
it's time that you have a younger Central
Division Director." Isely and Carlson were
re-elected last year without opposition, and
Isely expressed confidence that Carlson would
"do a better job" in the Director's chair.
Isely tendered his resignation during the
July 2016 ARRL Board of Directors meeting over
the weekend in Windsor, Connecticut, and
acting on Carlson's nomination, Isely's Board
colleagues elected him as an ARRL Honorary
Vice President.
"I have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and
talking with many of you over these many
years, and, from time to time, there will be
future opportunities for the activity,"
Isely's announcement concluded.
During his time on the Board, Isely served as
a member of the ARRL Executive Committee as
well as on the Board's Administration and
Finance and Membership Services committees. He
chaired the CEO Search Committee after former
ARRL CEO David Sumner, K1ZZ announced his
retirement in 2015. Isely also has been among
the ARRL Board members to promote the Amateur
Radio Parity Act on Capitol Hill.
Isely became the ARRL Central Division
Director in 2001, succeeding Ed Metzger,
W9PRN, and he was an ARRL Foundation director
from 2007 until his resignation from the
Board. He had served as ARRL Foundation vice
president since 2008. ARRL Great lakes
Director Dale Williams, WA8EFK, has been named
to replace Isely on the ARRL Foundation Board.
Isely is a graduate of the University of
Missouri and a retired US Navy and American
Airlines pilot. He's an ARRL and an AMSAT Life
Member and has been a radio amateur since
1977. Isely helped organize the National
Frequency Coordinators' Council and served 4
years as a director.
ARRL President Rick Roderick, K5UR, is
expected to soon announce a successor to
Carlson to fill the now-vacant Vice Director's
seat. The ARRL Central Division is comprised
of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin.


text: Hello all. I have a couple projects going on here First I am converting a Crescor Warming cabinet to a giant pellet smoker with a pellet pro hopper from smoke daddy. This thing will hold a ton of meat when it is done. Now I am always unable to leave well enough alone so I get to thinking to myself "Self why not adapt your Chargriller gas grill and make it so you can slide that pellet hopper in the side of it and smoke a small item when you don't need the full cabinet" Wow that is a great idea in my mind. I have that little chargriller for the occasions I want to do quick burgers or hots or something. I like a 5 minute and cook, type grill on occasion. So I think about it a bit more and then it hits me "man it is gonna be a pain to pull the gas tubes out to keep them from getting all gummed up when you smoke with it. Hey Why not get a Chargriller duo and make the charcoal side a pellet grill with that hopper. Then you can slide the hopper out and put it in the cabinet." Yeah best of both worlds. So What do you guys think? The end result would be Full size Stainless cabinet smoker with Pellet Pro Hopper Chargriller Duo for gas grill and then modified Charcoal grill to slide the Pellet Pro into when I want to do smaller items. Also for the record I keep my Grills and smokers in a nice shed in Colorado. They still look as new as the day I bought them (barring some grease and seasoning of course) So I don't worry much about the chargriller rotting out.

A federal appeals court yesterday upheld the conviction and prison sentence of former Texas Tech professor Thomas Butler for illegally shipping plague samples and for defrauding the university in unrelated consulting for drug companies. Yesterday, a National Academy of Sciences (NAS) committee also met to discuss how to help him find a suitable job upon his release, scheduled for January.
In a unanimous decision, three judges from the US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit in New Orleans—temporarily operating out of Houston—rejected Butler's claim that six errors in his original trial prejudiced the jury against him. In their unsigned opinion, the judges concluded "that the district court did not commit reversible error." Butler has already served over 18 months of the 24-month sentence he received in March 2004.
Not surprisingly, scientists who have supported Butler decried the decision. "I'm bitterly disappointed but still confident in the American judicial system. This will go to the next level," said Peter Agre, a 2003 Nobel laureate in chemistry and a former student of Butler's. Stanley Falkow at Stanford University in California echoed that the decision was "one of the saddest things I have seen in my scientific career."
Butler has been stripped of his medical license, and his legal fees far exceed $1 million. Several of his supporters said they fear he will find it extremely difficult to land a job that uses his medical and research skills. Consequently, yesterday, the Human Rights Committee of the NAS met to discuss how to help him find work upon his release. Butler is only the second U.S. scientist the committee – created to help foreign scientists persecuted by their governments -- has ever assisted.
Although the NAS does not allow members to talk about its deliberations, Peter Agre, the committee's chair, told
Butler made worldwide news in January 2003 when he reported 30 vials of plague samples missing, causing 60 FBI agents to descend on his lab within hours. According to colleagues, Butler collected the samples from plague-stricken Tanzanians to demonstrate that two readily available drugs can cure the disease.
The Justice Department charged him with lying to investigators about having lost the vials, committing tax fraud, and illegally shipping the plague samples back to Tanzania. The government also accused him of defrauding Texas Tech by giving it only half the money the Food and Drug Administration reimbursed him for plague expenses, and only half the amount two drug companies paid him for conducting clinical trials of unrelated new drugs. A jury acquitted him of most serious charges but found him guilty of illegal shipping and defrauding Tech on the drug company payments.
One prominent issue in Butler's appeal was his lawyers' contention that the original district trial judge should have allowed the plague charges to be tried separately from the fraud charges, because they were unrelated, and the jury's knowledge of one might prejudice its decision about the other. Government lawyers argued that the two charges were parts of a unified scheme to defraud Texas Tech and divert attention away from that crime by pretending to lose the vials. The appeals court ruled that the counts were related and that Butler was not harmed by trying them together. "I think it's certainly clear that the government was in the right in this prosecution on all fronts," Susan Calger, the assistant U.S. attorney who argued the government's side, told
Jonathan Turley, Butler's appeal attorney, strongly disagreed. "The opinion has a number of glaring and fundamental errors that will have to be addressed on appeal," he told
Turley explained Butler can appeal three more times: to the three judges, to all Fifth Circuit judges, and to the Supreme Court. "We are committed to keep fighting for Doctor Butler as long so long as it takes to seek final vindication," he said.
Butler, 64, is scheduled to be released nearly four months early, on January 2, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons' inmate locator web site. In November, he will be moved to a halfway house in his home town of Lubbock, Texas, according to his wife Elisabeth.

Today marks the second anniversary of the federal health care law, and, unless you've been depriving yourself of news for the last several weeks, that same law will be front and center before the Supreme Court starting Monday. Here in California, uninsured Californians have a particular stake in the Court's actions.
Madera County is a largely conservative and agricultural area where one in every three people lacks coverage. While many people say they want the Supreme Court to throw out the federal health law, I found that many there are struggling to reconcile their political views with the basic need for health insurance.
I started off in Oakhurst. Here, just a few miles from the entrance to Yosemite National Park, is the Sweetwater Steakhouse, a local watering hole where no one is shy about their opinions of President Obama's signature initiative, including people like Joe Stern. "ObamaCare is absolutely horrible, horrible, horrible. It should struck down immediately." Continue reading

Coach (bus)(Redirected from Coach (vehicle))
This article needs additional citations for verification. (July 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
A coach (also motor coach, often simply referred to as a bus) is a type of vehicle used for conveying passengers on excursions and on longer-distance intercity—or even international—bus service. Unlike transit buses designed for shorter journeys, coaches often have a luggage hold that is separate from the passenger cabin and are normally equipped with facilities required for longer trips, including comfortable seats and sometimes a toilet.
The term "coach" was previously used for a horse-drawn carriage designed for the conveyance of more than one passenger, the passengers' luggage, and mail, that is covered for protection from the elements. The term was applied to railway carriages in the 19th century, and later to motor coaches.
Horse-drawn chariots and carriages ("coaches") were used by the wealthy and powerful where the roads were of a high enough standard from possibly 3000 BC. In Hungary, during the reign of King Matthias Corvinus in the 15th century, the wheelwrights of Kocs began to build a horse-drawn vehicle with steel-spring suspension. This "cart of Kocs" as the Hungarians called it (Hungarian: kocsi szekér) soon became popular all over Europe. The imperial post service employed the first horse-drawn mail coaches in Europe since Roman times in 1650, and as they started in the town of Kocs, the use of these mail coaches gave rise to the term "coach".[1] Stagecoaches (drawn by horses) were used for transport between cities from about 1500 in Great Britain until displaced by the arrival of the railways.[2]
One of the earliest motorised vehicles was the charabanc, which was used for short journeys and excursions until the early years of the 20th century.[citation needed] The first "motor coaches" were purchased by operators of those horse-drawn vehicles in the early 20th century[3] by operators such as Royal Blue Coach Services, who purchased their first charabanc in 1913[4] and were running 72 coaches by 1926.[5]
Coaches, as they hold passengers for significant periods of time on long journeys, are designed for comfort. They vary considerably in quality from country to country and within countries. Higher specification vehicles include luxury seats and air conditioning. Coaches typically have only a single, narrow door, but sometimes they have two doors, as an increased loading time is acceptable due to infrequent stops. Some characteristics include:
- Comfortable seats that may include a folding table, armrests, and recliner. Comfort is considered to be an important feature in coaches.[6]
- Luggage racks above the seats where passengers can access their carry-on baggage during the journey
- Baggage holds, accessed from outside the vehicle, often under the main floor or at the rear, where passengers' luggage can be stowed away from the seating area
- Passenger service units, mounted overhead, on which personal reading lights and air conditioning ducts can be controlled and used by individual passengers with little disturbance to other passengers
- On-board rest rooms fitted with chemical toilets, hand basins and hand sanitizer.
- On some coaches, on-board entertainment including movies may be shown to passengers
- On-board refreshment service or vending machines
- Wheelchair accommodation, possibly including a wheelchair lift for access
- Curtains, useful on overnight services
- Onboard Wifi-access
Coaches, like buses, may be fully built by integrated manufacturers, or a separate chassis consisting of only an engine, wheels and basic frame may be delivered to a coachwork factory for a body to be added. A minority of coaches are built with monocoque bodies without a chassis frame. Integrated manufacturers (most of whom also supply chassis) include Autosan, Scania, Fuso, and Alexander Dennis. Major coachwork providers (some of whom can build their own chassis) include Van Hool, Neoplan, Marcopolo, Irizar, MCI, Prevost, and Designline.
