Alstom Transport and its Russian partner Transmashholding (TMH) confirmed the design project for a jointly-created new electric train. The aim of this new product is to provide a reliable and economical solution for renewing Russia's regional and suburban fleets. The launch of a new regional train offering for Russia opens a new chapter in the cooperation between Alstom and TMH.
The train is designed according to the principles of basic platform and modular construction, which will allow rapid modification of rolling stock of different types and composition and adaptation of any future power supply.
The new electric trains will include four to 12 coaches (up to 1500 passengers) and will run at speeds of up to approximately 99 mph. It will operate according to the multiple unit system (i.e. two electric trains will, if necessary, operate synchronously in coupling) on both tracks with high and low platforms. They will be equipped with modern asynchronous traction drive and new bogies, providing a smooth run and reduced impact on the track. New trains will also be equipped with modern passive safety systems and a modular cabin.
These EMUs will ensure high level of passenger comfort and accessibility for wheelchair-bound passengers on high and low platforms. Several types of interior design are being created, providing comfort for both short and relatively long journeys. The trains will be equipped with the most up-to-date means of ventilation, heating, air conditioning and air purification, information displays and lamps with light-emitting diodes.
The first prototype is scheduled to go out of the factory at the end of 2012.
Will run on the Northeast Corridor. Amtrak and Alstom also signed a long-term contract under which Alstom will provide Amtrak with long-term technical support and supply spare components and parts for the maintenance of the new trainsets.
Completes 2010's 160-car purchase to outfit the line with a completely new and modern fleet.
In the aftermath of the 2012 Superstorm Sandy, half of the Sunnyside Yard had to rely on portable backup generators for a month due to a damaged transmission line.
The slow-moving "speeder" vehicle will travel the rail line as part of a testing regimen that ensures the route is free of obstructions.
Dan Grabauskas will be paid the final year of contract as part of the separation agreement, a total of $282,250. The board appointed HART board member Mike Formby as acting CEO, effective immediately.

Culture Shock
By Erin Adair-Hodges
Page and Stage
If you think the play's the thing, you're in luck; theater companies around the state are staging new works and well-loved classics throughout the holiday season (which, like it or not, we're already in). Debuting on Friday, Nov. 6, Auxiliary Dog Theater (3011 Monte Vista NE) presents The Pavilion. Penned by Craig Wright and directed by Andie Rigler, this award-winning play focuses on the two halves of a high school's cutest couple and what happens when they meet again 20 years later. That may sound a bit generic, but Wright has written for "Six Feet Under" and "Lost" and also holds a masters degree in divinity. If that résumé is any indication, prepare to be sad, confused, hopeful and a little turned on. The show runs through Nov. 29, Fridays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. and Sundays at 2 p.m. All tickets are $12 and seats can be reserved by calling 254-7716. Go to auxdog.org for more.
Author Interview
Not a Small World After All
Lori Ostlund and The Bigness of the World
By Erin Adair-Hodges
A few years ago, Lori Ostlund was known to Albuquerqueans as an instructor at TVI and one of the Two Serious Ladies who ran that eponymous furniture store in Nob Hill. She and her partner decided in 2005 that they needed more time to write, and in order to simplify their lives, they moved to San Francisco. Since then, her first book, the short story collection The Bigness of the World, has earned her the Flannery O'Connor for Short Fiction and a Rona Jaffe Foundation Grant. Prior to her upcoming appearance in Albuquerque, Ostlund chatted with the Alibi on the phone about the weather in San Francisco (sunny), novel-writing (difficult) and the Internet (distracting).

The successful applicant will receive an average annual stipend (bursary) of £16775 plus payment of the full university tuition fee for three (3) years. In order to meet the eligibility criteria of Dstl, the PhD studentship can only be offered to UK/EU nationals.
Applicants should hold a first class or upper second-class honours degree in suitable science discipline, e.g. bioscience, chemistry, materials science. A Masters level qualification is desirable but not essential.
Project Details
Recently, a new synthetic approach based on biological templates from viruses has gained popularity to generate new inorganic nanostructured materials because it is facile, environmentally benign and economic as compared to conventional method of material production. Filamentous viruses like Tobacco Mosaic Virus (TMV) and M13 bacteriophages have an exquisitely ordered protein capsid that self assembles to produce a rod-like morphology with lengths in excess of 1 m but with widths on the nanometre scale. In recent years, the materials science community starts to decorate non-biological groups including metal ions and atoms, chromophores and DNA onto these filamentous viruses for the development of novel nanostructured materials that exhibit properties ranging from energy storage and photovoltaic behaviour.
This project aims to exploit synthetic biology pathways using filamentous virus to develop a new type of superhard nanostructured boron carbide based ceramic with improved mechanical properties. The objectives are:
to design the optimum templates from the self-assembly of filamentous M13 bacteriophages;
to develop a novel processing route to convert M13 bacteriophages into boron carbide based powders; and
to understand the effect of chemical groups and processing conditions on the chemical composition and physical characteristics of the resultant ceramic powders.
The successful candidate will have the opportunity to work with a Biotechnology group at School of Biosciences, University of Birmingham to prepare M13 bacteriophages during this project.
Informal enquiries should be sent to Professor Isaac Chang at email@example.com

This time last year, 47-year-old Natalie Cadenhead and her husband George Rogers were walking the Milford Track.
Today, Rogers is coming to terms with being a widower after Cadenhead became an unsuspecting victim to influenza.
Almost two weeks after her life support was switched off, Rogers wants people to wise up to the warning signs and immunise against the H1N1 virus, something his wife did not do because she was allergic to certain medicines.
His wife was a keen tramper, active and healthy.
"Reflecting now, it probably would have been good to have her immunised, but being healthy and with her allergies, it seemed like the right thing to do," he said.
Up to 20 per cent of New Zealanders contract the flu each year, but health authorities say this year's numbers are lower than usual.
Ministry of Health figures show 1.2 million doses of flu vaccines have been distributed this year.
In Canterbury 200,000 doses of the vaccine have been distributed for 38 per cent of the population - 17,000 doses fewer than this time last year.
Cadenhead and Rogers both fell ill with the virus two months ago.
Rogers shook the cough and body aches in days, but after 13 days, his wife was still battling the symptoms.
On June 9, she got up to go to her cultural wellbeing role at the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (Cera) and felt dizzy.
Within hours, she was in Christchurch Hospital's intensive care unit.
Cadenhead was given oxygen through a tube in her throat because her lungs filled with fluid and became inflamed.
As her health deteriorated, doctors sent her to Auckland, where she could have access to a a special lung bypass machine, dialysis and a range of treatments, including Tamiflu.
"It was 28 days until she had finally come off the bypass machine. There were people waiting to use it and the hospital wanted to get her off because there are associated risks of her being on it," Rogers said.
On July 10, an improving Cadenhead was flown back to Christchurch, along with a "cautiously optimistic" Rogers.
She was doing well, but she had a complication - an inoperable infection in her stomach - as the virus and treatment weakened her immune system.
Her family said goodbye and turned off the life support on July 24.
"There was nothing that could be done," Rogers said.
"I have been told this flu was in some ways like the 1918 flu outbreak which tended to hit middle-aged healthy people."
His wife of 14 years, whose career included work in Antarctica and years as curator at the Christchurch Museum, had a fitting send off.
Cera chief executive Roger Sutton spoke at her funeral and friends in Scott Base, Antarctica, flew the Kiwi flag at half mast.
Rogers said he hoped people would get immunised against the flu and be wary of the symptoms at an early stage.
Canterbury District Health Board clinical virologist Lance Jennings said those most at risk included young children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with underlying diseases.
But as it became apparent in 2009 when 49 people died, healthy people could suffer severely too.
"We are doing well [nationally] but we could be doing a lot better," Jennings said.

The Timberwolves have agreed to terms with free agent guard Mo Williams on a one-year, $3.75 million contract.
The move – announced by William's representative Priority Sports on Monday afternoon – brings the Wolves a veteran backup who can play both point and shooting guard. There is a good chance he could wind up running the team's second unit along with rookie Zach LaVine in the backcourt.
The Wolves could announce the signing as early as Tuesday.
Williams, 31, is coming off a 2013-14 season in which he averaged 9.7 points for Portland, his lowest average since his rookie season in 2003-04. Point-guard sized, but with a scoring mentality, Williams is a career 43.8-percent shooter, 38.5 on three-pointers.
Because the Wolves are so tight against the NBA salary cap, the team used a portion of the $5.305-million mid-level exception to sign Williams, giving them just over $1.55 million to use on another move.
The move also calls into question the future of J.J. Barea with the Wolves. Barea , entering the final year of his contract, is due just over $4.5 million for the upcoming season.

UNDP and Korea: empowering vulnerable women in Haiti
Thanks to UNDP and the Republic of Korea, 800 vulnerable women, including many victims of gender based violence, are getting help back into work and social normality in Haiti.
The 'Empowerment of Vulnerable Women through Livelihoods and Micro Enterprise Creation in Earthquake Affected Areas of Port au Prince and Environs' project provides training, information and financial support for employment and business creation for vulnerable women, including through support for the creation of women's associations.
The Republic of Korea contributed 1.5M USD from the joint Korea-UNDP MDG Trust fund that supports sustainable MDG achievement in some of Least and Lower Economically Developed Countries. The project began in 2011 and runs for two years.
Project staff build links with formal employment sectors and financial institutions including credit unions and banks, as well as community-based organizations working for vulnerable women. It also supports holistic approaches to addressing women's social and economic vulnerability in Haiti, including stigma faced by victims of gender based violence.
The project builds on and works with ongoing projects by UN bodies, civil society organizations and others, as well as UNDP initiatives that help boost the livelihoods of vulnerable groups.

Generated content is a new way of adding things to existing content without having to alter the content itself. It's done by using the pseudo-elements :before and :after and the property percentages for margin and padding may be the best way to set styles that will hold up in more than one media; for example, documents that will look good on a monitor as well as a printout.
It's also possible to mix percentages with length values. Thus, to set H1 elements to have top and bottom margins of one-half em and side margins that are 10% of the width of the browser window, you can declare the following, shown in Figure 7-12:content. Here's a basic example of how it works:
P:before, P:after {content: "\""; color: gray;}
This is a quote.

The browser will display what's shown in Figure 10-15.
Note that the double-quote mark was escaped out -- that is, preceded by a backslash. This is necessary, since text values for content must be enclosed in double quotes. You could also place images before (or after) content, using something like P:before {content: url(para.gif);} to put a paragraph symbol at the beginning of each paragraph. You can even string multiple values together like this (shown in Figure 10-16):
P:before {content: url(para.gif) " -- ";}
This would cause each paragraph to be started with a paragraph symbol, a blank space, two dashes, and then another blank space. Note that all of this is considered part of the paragraph and is inlined within it. The spaces appear before and after the double dash because they're included in the string value. If these spaces were omitted, then space would not appear to either side of the dashes.
Let's say, though, that you want to do some real quoting, using real quotation marks -- you know, the curly double quotes that are so hard to specify in HTML and which often don't show up even if you do try to specify them. CSS2 has ways to handle this.
content has some other values you can use:
open-quote, which inserts an opening quotation mark
close-quote, which inserts a closing quotation mark
no-open-quote, which prevent the insertion of an opening quotation mark
no-close-quote, which prevent the insertion of an closing quotation mark
So if you wanted your quotations to begin and end with quotation marks, instead of typing in a literal quotation mark, you could let the browser insert "smart quotes" for you.
BLOCKQUOTE:before {content: open-quote;} BLOCKQUOTE:after {content: close-quote;}
In the same vein, CSS2 also includes properties for automatic numbering. First, you can specify a counter as a value of content. This can be a bit tricky, and it would take too long to run through all the possibilities, but here's an example. Say you wanted the chapters and sections of a document numbered 1, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and so on. In addition, you're using H1 for your chapters and H2 for your sections. Here are the declarations you would use:
H1:before { content: "Chapter " counter(chapter) ". "; counter-increment: chapter; /* Add 1 to chapter */ counter-reset: section; /* Set section to 0 */ } H2:before { content: counter(chapter) "." counter(section) " "; counter-increment: section; }
As we can see from Figure 10-17, the user agent will add the word "Chapter" and a number at the beginning of H1 text. This number is automatically incremented with each H1, due to the declaration counter-increment: chapter;. It also sets the section counter back to zero through counter-reset: section;. Then, for each section heading (H2), the browser uses the chapter number, followed by a period (.) followed by the current section number, which is also automatically incremented.
You don't have to increment by one every time, either. You can define any integer as the increment value, including zero and negative numbers. If you want each section to have an even number, as we see in Figure 10-18, then you can declare the following:
H2:before { content: "Section " counter(section) ". "; counter-increment: section 2; /* Add 2 to chapter */ }
You can also keep an element from incrementing a counter by setting its display to none. Of course, that will cause the element to disappear altogether.
You can do even more by using the value marker for the property display, which enables you to define your own marker styles for any element at all. You're already familiar with markers, as it happens -- the bullets and numbers at the beginning of list items are markers.
Let's say we want to recreate the way unordered lists behave. For the purposes of this example, we'll use the image disc.gif to stand in for the normal bullets. Using marker properties, we would declare:
LI:before {display: marker; content: url(disc.gif); marker-offset: 1em; }
This will insert the disc image before each list item, and set it to be offset from the left edge of the LI content by 1em, as shown in Figure 10-19.
Marker properties are not restricted to list items, however. Let's say that, throughout a document, there are a few paragraphs with a class of aside. We wish to call attention to these paragraphs by inserting a small note to the side of each one. Here's one way to do it:
BODY {counter-reset: aside-ctr;} P {margin-left: 10em;} P.aside:before {display: marker; content: "Aside " counter(aside-ctr) " --"; counter-increment: aside-ctr; text-align: right; marker-offset: 1em; width: 9.5em; }
The effect will be something like that seen in Figure 10-20.
This is yet another aspect of CSS2 that, once it's been properly implemented, will allow authors to do quite a bit with their documents.
Copyright © 2002 O'Reilly & Associates. All rights reserved.bold  bold  regular  regular regular .

Ignoring the fact that this would be entirely counterintuitive, whatwe see in Figure 5-16 is that the main paragraphtext has a weight of 900 and theSPAN aweight of700. When the STRONG text isset to lighter, it evaluates to the next-lighterface, which is the regular face, or 400 (the same They're also more specific than the other styles we'reusing, due to the presence of a class selector, so that also helpsthese rules win out. The values for :first-letterwill cause the first letter of the initial paragraph to be twicenormal size, and floated left, as shown in Figure 11-13.
P {color: white;} /* actual styles, each line needs to */ PRE {color: gray;} /* be wrapped in comment markers. */
Under CSS2, the same effect can be achieved without the use of aclass on the first paragraph. This is done by using new CSS2selectors, such as the adjacent-sibling selector:H1. Therefore, we would need to add a childselector and a first-child pseudo-class:H1 + DIV > P:first-child {text-indent: 0;}
This will match any paragraph that is the first child of aDIV that immediately follows anH1 element. See Chapter 10, "CSS2: A Look Ahead",CSS2: A Look Ahead, for more details.
Given this example, if each line isn't marked off, then most of the style sheet will become part of the comment, and so will not work:
H1 {color: gray;} /* This CSS comment is several lines H2 {color: silver;} long, but since it is not wrapped P {color: white;} in comment markers, the last three PRE {color: gray;} styles are part of the comment. */

How much is an earthworm worth?
After years of paying little attention, both farmers and EU politicians have started listening in earnest to the research findings. The trick is simply to communicate on the recipients terms. Professor of Biology Katarina Hedlund and her colleagues have begun putting a price on natures own capital.
Looking after the environment and preserving biodiversity is often considered to be unprofitable financially. However, in the Soil Services research project, the researchers have tried to measure the benefits in monetary terms. This means highlighting the economic value of nature's own capital using 'ecosystem services'.
"As a researcher, I have worked on biodiversity for many years. In the past it has been difficult to reach out, but now we are getting our message across", says Katarina Hedlund, Professor at the Department of Biology.
For the past four years she has been the coordinator of the EU-funded research project Soil Services. The project started in 2008 and will end in February 2012. The aim has been to deliver results for how biodiversity in the soil changes with both intensive farming and climate change. The target group, i.e. those who will use the research findings, has comprised a broad spectrum of people in both Sweden and other European countries: individual farmers, farming advisers, experts at the Swedish Board of Agriculture and EU politicians.
Katarina Hedlund observes that the concept of ecosystem services, and their economic value, makes people listen. In agriculture there are plenty of ecosystem services that can make the earth more fertile and increase harvests. For example, valuable microorganisms live in the soil where they can release nitrogen which provides nutrition to the crops. Earthworms also tunnel through the soil, creating better structure and aerating the soil.
"It is not that simple that we can say what an earthworm is worth, but we can place a figure on the organic content of the soil as a type of currency for ecosystem services", says Katarina Hedlund.
The higher the level of organic matter in the soil, the less need there is to add fertiliser to the fields. This could mean up to 25 per cent less nitrogen that needs to be added to achieve the same harvest, emphasises Katarina Hedlund. In this way, farmers can save money through reduced fertiliser costs. Moreover, society can save money through reduced costs associated with nitrogen leaching from fields into watercourses and the sea, which is an environmental problem that causes algal blooms and oxygen depletion in the sea.
As part of the Soil Services project, the researchers have produced models that can calculate the value of the soil's ecosystem services, for example in a hectare of wheat. In addition, the models can make clear the economic benefits of agricultural methods such as ploughing back unharvested crops, sowing cover crops so that the fields do not lie bare and using correct crop rotation. In the long term, correct soil care can produce tangible changes in economic terms.
"Using the models we can show how farmers can earn more money in ten years' time if they do this or that. In farming there is often a more short-term perspective", says Katarina Hedlund.
A further goal is for the findings from the project to be incorporated into the EU's agricultural subsidy calculations. Katarina Hedlund was in Brussels recently for a round table discussion at the European Parliament with the aim of influencing the design of agricultural support measures so that they have the desired effect.
"The Commission is trying to push through a Soil Directive, but some countries are stopping it in the Parliament", she explains.
The greatest challenges in communicating the research results from Soil Services have been daring to release details and uncertainties behind the results, starting to use the models and actually speaking out about possible future scenarios, as well as moving from pure basic research to an overall perspective on how to farm in an economically sustainable way.
"We are led to believe that it is the actual research findings that are of interest, but we must meet the users on a level that is concerned with the issues in which they are interested", says Katarina Hedlund.

President Obama Visits Baton Rouge After Criticism That He's Late
President Obama tours Louisiana's communities affected by the flood that damaged over 60,000 homes and killed 13 people.
While the Republican National Committee works to get its head above water financially the Democratic National Committee is bringing in the big donor bucks. In April, the DNC raised $12.4 million, thanks in part to multiple fundraising events that featured President Obama. That's more than double the $6.1 million that the RNC raised during the same period, The New York Times reports.
Former RNC chairman Michael Steele left the organization swimming in a sea of red ink. The RNC is reportedly close to $19 billion in debt and has only $5 million on hand. Republicans chose Reince Priebus to replace Steele in January because of Priebus' low-key personality and ability to restore GOP donors' faith in the committee.
Obama raised almost $750 million during the 2008 campaign and pundits are predicting that this time around he could bring in close to $1 billion. That's a lot of campaign dollars that he won't even need, given that he won't be competing in the primary. Democrats also have formed an Obama Victory Fund. The first $5,000 of a contribution made at a Victory Fund event goes to the president's re-election campaign. The rest, capped at $30,800, goes to the DNC. The party's April jackpot includes $7 million from the Victory Fund.

Archos expands Android tablet range
Archos has announced a further expansion in its range of Android-powered portable media players. The Archos 5 is being joined by the Archos 7 and Archos 8. Both will offer an ARM 9 processor, running at 600MHz, and 7-inch and 8-inch screens respectively.
The Archos 7 has Wi-Fi, a USB port for transferring data, and upto 7 hours of video playback, or 44 hours of music. It weighs 350g and will be 12mm thick, with a form factor that's rather like the current Archos 5. It'll come in 2GB and 8GB variants, costing £130 and £150 respectively from April.
The Archos 8, despite retaining plenty of hardware similarities, has more of a photo frame form factor. Weighing 400g and measuring 12mm thick, the device has an always-on touchscreen display, and comes in a 4GB capacity. It'll be showing up in May, costing £130.
While we see the appeal of the Archos 7, we're a little bit puzzled by the photo frame aspects of the Archos 8. Will it sell? Either way, the company also promises a full range of tablets, with screen sizes between 3-inch and 10-inch, and 1GHz processors, will be launched in summer 2010. You might want to hang on for those instead.
