Mobility/Paratransit is a specialized, door-to-door service for people with disabilities who are unable to ride or navigate fixed-route public transportation, including lift-equipped buses. Mobility/Paratransit service is provided within three-quarters (3/4) of a mile of any fixed-route service in Baltimore City and Baltimore & Anne Arundel counties. The term "fixed-route" refers to Local Bus, Light Rail or Metro Subway routes operated by the MTA. Mobility service is not offered within three-quarters (3/4) of a mile of Commuter Bus or MARC Train routes. Fare: The one-way cash fare on Mobility service is $1.85. For your convenience, pre-paid books of 20 Mobility tickets are sold for $37.00 at the MTA Transit Store located in the lobby of 6 St. Paul Street, Baltimore, MD, 21202. The tickets have no expiration date.
To participate in MTA's Mobility/Paratransit program, complete an application and contact the MTA Mobility Certification Office to schedule your in-person-interview. Please submit your application at that time. To begin the application process, you can download the Mobility Application Form from our forms webpage. You can also obtain an application by calling 410-764-8181 or by visiting the Mobility Certification Office, 4201 Patterson Avenue, Baltimore, MD, 21215. The office is open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
This eligibility determination process follows guidelines set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). Eligibility is determined based on an individual's functional ability based upon an in-person interview. All areas of the application form must be completed. Only original documentation will be accepted. Please make sure the doctor's portion of the application is filled out with your doctor's original signature. The Certification Office will not accept any portions of mailed, faxed, or emailed versions of the application. If you require assistance in completing the form, please contact the MTA Mobility Certification Office at 410-764-8181. An eligibility decision letter will be sent to you in the mail within 21 days of your interview date. If you meet the program's certification requirements, you will receive an identification card. You will be asked to display this card when you board a Mobility/Paratransit vehicle.
Once you receive your identification card, you may schedule rides as described in the Reserving a Ride section of the website. It is important to notify the MTA if you have a new address, if you no longer require the use of a wheelchair, if you will not require the service for a period of time, etc. Such notification is vital to your status in the program. Please mail any notification changes regarding your Mobility ridership to:

After you are certified, call 410-764-8181 to reserve a ride in the Mobility/Paratransit program. Be prepared to provide the following information:
Mobility/Paratransit is a shared-ride service. Mobility/Paratransit reservation agents will make every attempt to accommodate your travel requests, but they must schedule the times that are available and fit the needs of the greatest number of people. Mobility/Paratransit is not a taxi service, and we are unable to accommodate the personal desires of each individual. We suggest keeping copies of these information requirements by your telephone. A checklist is included in the forms section. This information will assist us in furnishing the transportation you desire.
When ride reservations are made, the number of rides you request per phone call is limited to six (6) one-way or three (3) round trips. You may call as often as you wish, but the number of rides per call must be limited. All reservations must be placed by 5:00 pm the day before your trip. Mobility does not provide same-day trip requests.
Reservations can be made up to seven (7) days in advance. The reservation agent will be able to tell you which dates are available. To better ensure the time and date you desire, it is suggested you call as far in advance as possible. It is especially important to make holiday travel reservations several days in advance.
Note: Due to the volume of calls, reservation agents cannot look-up addresses for you. You may request that the information on frequent destinations become a part of your permanent record.
Due to space limitations, the number of people who may accompany you is limited to no more than two (2) persons. If you are pre-registered for a Personal Care Attendant (PCA), only that individual is allowed to ride free of charge; other individual(s) pay the full current one-way passenger trip price of $1.85. PCAs and companions must have the same pick-up and drop-off points as the individual they are accompanying. Anyone may be considered a PCA, including a child. A seat for your PCA and/or companion must be reserved when scheduling your trip.
Children may be considered companions. As with the MTA's fixed-route service, a maximum of two (2) children under the age of six (6) may ride with you free of charge. Children over age (6) pay the full adult fare of $1.85.
Failure to cancel a scheduled ride or to keep a transportation appointment could have a negative effect on the schedules of other riders by not allowing the MTA to schedule other riders in your place. Therefore, please follow these simple rules:
Both the MTA and the contracted provider make every effort to provide you with efficient and dependable transportation. The objective of the Mobility/Paratransit service is to be comparable with fixed-route service. The following suggestions will help to make your trip successful:
Please limit the number of packages you take on the vehicle to two. Remember, Mobility/Paratransit is a shared-ride service, and excess packages will infringe upon other customers.
Baltimore is a great place to visit. Visitors who are ADA Mobility/Paratransit eligible or who provide documentation of a disability that prevents them from using fixed route transit service where they live may use MTA Mobility service when visiting Baltimore, for up to 21 days per 365 day period. Call 410-764-8181, and listen for "Certification Options" to register a visitor.
Documentation of visitor Mobility/Paratransit eligibility might include a copy of both sides of your home transit agency's ID card issued to you, or a copy of the decision letter from your home transit agency declaring that you are ADA Paratransit eligible. This kind of documentation can be faxed to 410-764-7526 or emailed as an attachment to email@example.com. Please send documentation as soon as you know you will need to travel using MTA Mobility during your visit. It is helpful for us to have it at least seven (7) days in advance of your anticipated trips.
In order to provide service to you, we will need this information:
If a visitor uses the service more than 21 days in a 365 day period, he or she will be asked to submit an application and complete the local MTA Mobility eligibility process.
You will need your MTA Mobility ID number in order to reserve a ride on our system. Please call us in advance, at 410-764-8181, to obtain your number from the Certification department.
Even people from Charm City go on vacation and business trips. If you are an MTA Mobility customer who needs to use ADA Paratransit service in another city or location, we will be happy to assist you, when possible. Your MTA Mobility Paratransit eligibility entitles you to 21 days of use on any other ADA Paratransit service in the USA, each year.
If you are moving to a new location, you will need to apply for eligibility in your new home.
Plan well in advance. If you make contact with the transit agency in the area where you are going about 14-30 days ahead of your arrival, most agencies will have enough time to set up your file, and provide you with enough information to ride with them.
To find an ADA Paratransit provider by searching online, try using the name of the city or country where you are going plus the phrase "transit accessible" or "paratransit." For example, if you were headed to Hawaii, you might search for "Honolulu transit accessible." Some transit programs have predictable names, but some have creative names. If you find the website of the transit provider, you may have to click through some menu items to find the paratransit program. Look for words like "access," "accessibility," "mobility," "van," or "lift." If you still cannot find it, call the main contact number for the transit agency and ask.
Call the paratransit program. Tell them when you will be visiting and that you need visitor eligibility. Ask them what information they will need to have to grant you your visitor eligibility. Usually they will need some written confirmation that you are ADA Paratransit eligible in your home town. This might be a photocopy of the latest ADA Paratransit eligibility determination letter from us. It might be a visitor eligibility confirmation sheet from us, MTA Mobility Certification, faxed or emailed to their staff. If so, be sure you get the correct fax number or email address.
Ask us to send the information, if necessary. If you need MTA Mobility/Paratransit to fax or email visitor eligibility confirmation to another transit agency for your visit, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com, fax us at 410-764-7526 or call us at 410-764-8181, "Certification" option . We will need to know your name, MTA Mobility ID number, the name of where you are going, how we should send the information (fax is most common), and the fax number or email address to use, and when you plan to arrive there. It may take us three (3) business days to send this for you. And it may take the other agency some time to process it.
After you've asked us to send the information, call the other agency. You will need to confirm that they've received the information and set up your file. You should also ask the other agency a few important questions, such as:
What is the fare for riding with you?
Some of this information may be online in a service guide or a rider's guide, or at their website.
During severe weather, such as ice and snow, Mobility/Paratransit service may be delayed or canceled. We make every attempt to operate as long as local law enforcement and/or traffic agencies permit us to remain on the streets. During such emergencies, we will provide service for medical trips only. All other trips will be canceled.
During emergency conditions, Mobility/Paratransit service status is announced on local radio and television stations including:
WBAL-AM Radio-1090
WWIN-AM Radio-1400
92 Q FM-Radio
95.9 FM Radio

WBFF-TV - Channel 45
WJZ-TV - Channel 13
WMAR-TV - Channel 2
The MTA Call-a-Ride Service is an on-demand, premium taxi/sedan service that provides increased independence for people with disabilities. The MTA Call-a-Ride Service is available to MTA-certified Mobility/Paratransit customers who meet the eligibility requirements. MTA Call-a-Ride Service is not part of MTA Mobility Service, but rather a separate and distinct MTA service provided under contract by participating area taxicab and sedan companies. MTA Mobility does not guarantee the availability of a particular type of vehicle or pick-up time. Customers deal directly with the taxi and sedan companies
Eligibility for the MTA Call-a-Ride Service
How does MTA Call-a-Ride ServiceWork?
Once your vehicle arrives:
Where can you use your MTA Call-a-Ride Card?
When using Call-a-Ride, travel must begin and end within the established MTA Mobility/Paratransit service area, which is within ¾ mile of fixed-route Local Bus, Light Rail or Metro Subway service. You are responsible for the entire cost of a trip that starts or ends outside the MTA Mobility/Paratransit service area. You also are responsible for the difference between the final meter reading and $20.00 in addition to your $3.00 fare.
Customers pay $3.00 cash for each one-way ride with a meter reading of $20.00 or less. If the final meter reading is over $20.00 the customer pays the difference, in addition to the $2.00 basic Taxi Access II fare.
There may be an occasional $1.00 or $2.00 charge, authorized by the Public Service Commission, for Baltimore City cabs going outside the city or for special dispatch fees. These fees will not affect you unless they cause your total fare to exceed $20.00. If they do, you are responsible for the amount over $20.00. For more information, please call MJM Taxi Access II Customer Service 410-664-2030.

- 10 Hot Hadoop Startups to Watch
Network World - Computer and network company layoffs so far this year look relatively light vs. those in recent years, when the numbers of those losing their jobs at individual companies frequently rose into the multiple thousands, sometimes hitting five figures.
This has taken place against a backdrop of an overall improving job market, with positions being added and unemployment holding steady, according to the June Department of Labor numbers. What's more, market watchers such as Dice have found that tech-focused hiring managers expect to hire more people in the second half of the year than they did in the first half.
[Biggest tech industry layoffs of 2012]
This isn't all to say that significant numbers of people at the companies Network World tracks, in addition to IT staff at all sorts of organizations (much harder to track these layoffs in aggregate), haven't lost their jobs this year or will in the months to come based on corporate restructuring plans.
HP has been among the most aggressive in making cuts over the past couple of years under CEO Meg Whitman, who has outlined a $3.5 billion cost reduction plan that is being achieved in large part through layoffs and early retirements across what had been a 350,000-person staff last year. HP has also been cutting costs by adopting more cloud computing services. Whitman said in March that the company had reached the halfway mark in its restructuring, with 15,000 cuts to go between then and the end of next year.
HP rival IBM has also been trimming its workforce, though it's always difficult to put a finger on just how many cuts IBM is making. An employee organization called Alliance@IBM said 1,600 employees have lost their jobs this year, with more cuts possibly on the way. Computerworld reported in June that IBM is believed to have more employees in India (112,000 as of last fall) than in the United States, where the number is said to be below 100,000.
Another big computing player, EMC, has said it will lay off more than 1,000 people this year as part of a restructuring designed to slash $80 million in spending (though the company has also said it is hiring people to focus on growth areas).
EMC subsidiary VMware announced in January it would zap some 900 jobs from its nearly 14,000-person workforce, though it is also adding about as many jobs CEO Pat Gelsinger at the time called the move a "realignment of resources" as the company sharpens its focus on software-defined data centers and hybrid cloud services.
"This includes shifting talent to new roles that support our growth opportunities as well as some targeted head count reductions," he said, according to an IDG News Service report.
Traditional networking companies have also whacked jobs this year. This includes market leader Cisco, which cut its workforce by about 500 people in May. Cisco at the time said: "We routinely review our business to determine where we need to align investments based on growth opportunities. Yesterday, Cisco performed a limited restructuring that will impact less than 1 percent of our population globally."

this place was great I will come again!
keep up the great work here this place is great
very accommodating – The staff at the Biltmore is competent and accommodating. Our group has had several events at the hotel of the past year and we have been generally pleased with the rooms, food and most importantly the responsiveness of the folks managing and facilitating our events.
My Pleasure – I have had the pleasure of using the Biltmore's event space for professional monthly meetings for the past five years. They are extremely accommodating and the service is exceptional. From the front desk, to the bell hop, to the hotel staff who sets up for meetings, and the management, I have never been disappointed with any aspect of my time there and have continuously received positive feedback from the meeting attendees in regards to the hotel. Additionally, I have used the hotel sleeping rooms for myself as well as for many out of state professionals/speakers and we all have been extremely pleased. They are very clean and well maintained. Amy in particular is an extraordinary staff member. I truly feel that she has gone out of her way numerous times to make sure that I was accommodated in every way possible. I will continue to use the Biltmore's for both meeting rooms and sleeping rooms for years to come and would recommend this place to anyone else!
Clean – Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend to others to stay at Biltmore Hotels
Great Customer Care – Continue the great customer care
Rooms were nice and clean. Staff was very friendly. Would recommend to others to stay at Biltmore Hotels
Not a bad place to go – Stopped by the Biltmore for a short conference. I liked the ambiance. Staff were friendly and greeted me.
I am not crazy about the location off the highway but it's convenient, close to the airport, and within driving distance of the silicon valley ecosystem.
Food was middle of the road, but enjoyable. Staff was very courteous. Place was clean.
-- Kirill Storch 11/21/10
Great place for a Seminar! – We hold three 2 day seminars at the Biltmore a year. The prices are good and the service is good. I recommend them as a good place to hold your seminars/meetings/conferences. Ellen, the Conference Services Manager is very nice to work with.

HI! im new to this forum (And im new Apple products... Used to be an Apple Hater until my friend sold me his old USED iphone when he upgraded to the 3GS).
I have determined that it is an Iphone 1st generation. When I turn it on, I see a screen that says to insert a SIM card, or make an emergency call. All I would like to do is activate the phone so that I can use it as an iTouch with a camera. I have done a little bit of reading on Jailbreaking, but I am unsure which program to use. I also have no clue as to what firmware i have. I tried to ask my friend what firmware he had, but he did not know.
I am somewhat technologically savy and I have hacked a psp to custom firmware.

Like many others, Fernando Torres has been impressed by our early season defensive form, and believes retention of possession has been an important reason for our strong start.
We have conceded just twice in our opening five Barclays Premier League matches, both goals in the first half against Reading at Stamford Bridge last month, and will be looking to continue the run against in-form Arsenal this lunchtime, who scored six last time they were at home in the league against Southampton.
If that is to happen, we may need to see a typically energetic display from Torres, who acts as the first line of defence when attacks break down.
'The team is defending as well as we did last season, but the difference is that we have the ball for longer, so we are not conceding chances for the other team to score. Maybe this is the main reason for it,' the striker said when considering the tight start.
'We all get back quickly to our positions, but this doesn't have to happen very often. I didn't check the possession stats we have had in these games, but I am sure it shows we are keeping the ball. For me the best way to defend is to have the ball - if you have the ball the other team cannot attack.'
This afternoon, he anticipates we will need to retain the ball well to avoid long periods working to get it back.
'It could be key to have possession. We know Arsenal, especially playing at home, are going to keep possession and possibly create some chances, but we have been working this week to work against that, and the key can be for us to win the ball back and try to counter-attack quickly,' Torres said.
'It's important that we use the ball effectively and find spaces. We have players who can find spaces and can counter-attack well. Attacking against Arsenal it is important to find the last pass, and we have confidence we can do this.
'The Emirates has a big pitch, and attacking we can try to exploit these spaces, and when we defend we have to be as narrow as possible. These games can be decided by small details and that level of concentration will be key.'
We have not won in N5 on our last two visits, the most recent being in November 2009 when two Didier Drogba goals and a Thomas Vermaelen own goal gave us a 3-0 win. If we achieve another shutout today, there is every chance we will be bringing three points back to the Bridge.

About Waterproof / Dustproof performance of the camera
Waterproof/Dustproof Performance
This camera's waterproof/dustproof rating complies with the "IPX8" and "IP6X" ratings. Provided the care and maintenance guidelines described in this document are strictly followed, this camera can operate underwater, to a depth not exceeding 5 m (16 feet) for a time not exceeding 60 minutes.*1
Anti-shock Performance
This camera also complies with "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock". The camera has cleared a drop test from a height of 1.5 m (5 feet) onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plywood. In most cases this camera should not sustain any damage if dropped from a height not exceeding 1.5 m (5 feet).*2
This does not guarantee no destruction, no malfunction, or waterproofing in all conditions.
*1 This means that the camera can be used underwater for specified time in specified pressure in accordance with the handling method established by Panasonic.
*2 "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock" is the test method standard of the U.S. Defense Department, which specifies performing drop tests from a height of 122 cm (4 feet), at 26 orientations (8 corners, 12 ridges, 6 faces) using 5 sets of devices, and passing the 26 orientation drops within 5 devices. (If failure occurs during the test, a new set is used to pass the drop orientation test within a total of 5 devices)
Panasonic's test method is based on the above "MIL-STD 810F Method 516.5-Shock".
However, the drop height was changed from 122 cm (4 feet) to 150 cm (5 feet) dropping onto 3 cm (0.1 feet) thick plyboard. This drop test was passed. (Disregarding appearance change such as loss of paint or distortion of the part where drop impact is applied.)

The Intelligent ISO Control function detects subject movement and automatically adjusts the ISO setting and shutter speed to best suit the movement and light conditions.
Face Recognition*2
The Face Recognition function remembers faces that have been registered in the camera and provides the faces with optimal focus and exposure.
Face Detection - Face Detection AF/AE*1
The Face Detection function detects faces anywhere in the frame and automatically chooses the optimal focus and exposure. The Face Detection also features the Digital Red-eye Correction (Red-eye Removal).
Subject Detection - AF Tracking
Once you focus on your subject, the AF Tracking automatically and continuously tracks it and keeps it in focus and proper exposure.
Scene Detection - Intelligent Scene Selector*3
The Intelligent Scene Selector senses the ambient conditions and automatically selects one of Scene Modes: Photo (Scenery, Portrait, Macro, Night Portrait*4, Night Scenery or Sunset), Video (Scenery, Portrait, Macro or Low Light).
Happy Mode
The Happy Mode optimizes color, saturation and brightness to make images more vivid and true to the color of the scene you remember.
Light Detection - Intelligent Exposure*1
The Intelligent Exposure corrects the brightness in parts of the image that are too dark due to insufficient lighting, backlighting or use of the flash. This produces natural images that are close to the way they actually look to the human eyes.
*1 The MEGA O.I.S., Intelligent ISO Control, Face Detection AF/AE, and Intelligent Exposure are automatically turned on in the iA Mode and can be turned on or off in the Normal Picture Mode or some Scene Modes.
*2 Turn the Face Recognition ON and register the person with full-face portrait on the shooting menu in advance.
Recognition performance varies greatly depending on shooting conditions, i.e., according to factors such as angles, facial expression and lighting, so operation under all conditions cannot be guaranteed. Because the camera searches for faces that are similar to registered faces, there are cases where the faces are not correctly recognized when the registered image and the shooting image varies much. When facial characteristics are similar, particularly between parents and their children or brothers and sisters, the camera may not distinguish the faces.
*3 With some subject and shooting conditions, it is just not possible to judge the best shooting details. When this happens, it is recommended that you shoot with the Scene Mode that best suits your purpose.
*4 In the iA Mode, the Night Portrait is not identified when the flash is turned off.
25mm Ultra Wide-angle Lens
The 16.1-megapixel high-resolution DMC-TS20 features a 25mm wide-angle lens* with 4x optical zoom (35mm equivalent: 25-100mm). The 25mm ultra wide-angle lens has about twice the shooting area as a standard 35mm lens. This enhances all kinds of shooting situations, like when you're photographing a group of people at an indoor party or shooting a large structure or sweeping landscape while traveling.
* Converted to standard 35mm camera equivalent, at the wide-end.
Great lenses make great cameras
8x Intelligent Zoom
The Intelligent Zoom is an extensive zoom function using digital zoom, however, you can even draw the subject 2x closer than the original optical zoom with minimum deterioration of image quality thanks to the Intelligent Resolution technology. This means the 4x optical can virtually extend to 8x equivalent.
Miniature Effect
The Miniature Effect Mode in which the peripherals are defocused while saturation and contrast is emphasized to look the picture like a diorama.
The video recorded is played back in 10x fast-forwarding making it more comical to watch*.
* Sound will not be recorded with Miniature Effect and approximately 1/10 of the time period is recorded. (If you record for 10 minutes, the resulting motion picture recording will be approximately 1 minute long)
Panorama Shot
The Panorama Shot Mode makes it is possible to shoot a horizontal / vertical panoramic image with consequent shots taken by overlaying the previous image.
Auto Retouch
The Auto Retouch function adjusts contrast and brightness to give different impression to the photo with just a press of a button. Appropriate retouch is automatically applied depending on the image – if the image was shot too dark, it can be clear and bright to look it nicer with this function.
These functions are also available.
Sonic Speed AF: This gives the camera super high-speed response that helps to catch even the most fleeting photo opportunities.
4 Aspect Ratios: In addition to 4:3, 3:2, and 16:9, you can shoot with a 1:1 aspect ratio.
LUMIX Image Uploader: You can upload images to Facebook™ (photos and videos) and YouTube™ (videos) with simple operation.
Battery Life: The energy-saving Venus Engine and the efficient, rechargeable lithium-ion battery let you take approx. 250 shots on a single battery charge*.* Based on the CIPA standard.
Built-in Memory 70MB: The built-in memory provides extra memory when your memory card fills up.
PHOTOfunSTUDIO: The PHOTOfunSTUDIO smartly sorts your photos and videos into practical folders for quick, easy management.

Paris Air Show Draws 1,900 Exhibitors From 44 Countries
Just about every company associated with civil or military aviation has a presence on the exhibit grounds just north of Paris, where the major players have rented buildings to market their wares and entertain guests.
Visitors and aircraft fill the grounds on the opening day of the Paris Air Show. This year's show includes Lockheed Martin, which is touting the F-35 joint strike fighter and the F/A-22 Raptor.
This year's air show is a return of sorts to normality. Two years ago, in what was seen as an attempt to punish France over its lobbying against the war in Iraq, the Pentagon essentially boycotted the show and encouraged U.S. defense contractors to follow suit.
This year, the U.S. military and American aerospace companies are back in force. Lockheed Martin, for example, is touting its two major programs, the F-35 joint strike fighter and the F/A-22 Raptor. The first F-35 is being produced in Fort Worth; the F/A-22 is built in Fort Worth and Marietta, Ga.
Indeed, just about every company associated with civil or military aviation has a presence on the exhibit grounds just north of Paris, where the major players have rented buildings to market their wares and entertain guests.
Organizers said the show broke a record by drawing 1,900 exhibitors from 44 countries. More than 200 planes and helicopters are on display at the airfield where Charles Lindbergh landed in 1927 after the first solo nonstop trans-Atlantic airplane flight.
This was supposed to have been a triumphant week for European jet builder Airbus, a moment to revel on home turf here at the Paris Air Show after years of besting American rival Boeing.
But it hasn't quite turned out that way, not even with Monday's well-timed announcement that Qatar Airways plans to buy 60 new Airbus midsize passenger jets.
Qatar may have chosen the still-in-development Airbus A350, but Chicago-based Boeing's new version of a midsize workhorse, the 787 Dreamliner, has been selling so briskly that it has reinvigorated the company almost overnight.
A decade ago, Boeing controlled 80 percent of the passenger-aircraft market. But in 2003, Airbus surpassed Boeing for the first time in planes delivered -- 305, compared with 281 for Boeing -- and it beat Boeing again last year.
Before the Qatar announcement, Airbus had sold only 10 A350s; Boeing says it has orders from 21 customers for 266 Dreamliners, which will hit the market two years before the A350 does.
In fact, Airbus decided last week to hold off on formally launching the A350, which is the subject of a legal wrangle in the World Trade Organization between the United States and the European Union over government subsidies that each company accuses the other of unfairly receiving.
The Airbus-Boeing rivalry has captured imaginations at this year's air show, which French President Jacques Chirac opened Monday, because it pits not only two aviation giants but also competing visions of where air travel is headed.
Airbus has put most of its eggs -- $13 billion worth -- into the A380, a multideck colossus that seats as many as 555 passengers and is designed to fly between large cities under the current air-transport model, the hub-and-spoke system.
Boeing hasn't offered a replacement for its aging 747, which was long the dominant super-jumbo jet. Instead, it set about developing the 223-seat 787, which is designed to fly fewer passengers long distances "point to point," as discount carriers Southwest Airlines and JetBlue Airways do. Boeing thinks passengers will demand that airlines move away from the hub system.
Airbus says it has 154 firm orders for the A380, which was announced in 2000 and is scheduled to be flying by 2006, mainly on long international flights.
But Boeing officials say they doubt the company can sell the 300 planes it needs to make a profit, and Airbus is facing manufacturing problems that recently forced it to delay delivery of the plane for six months.
A top Boeing executive was confident Monday as he briefed journalists on the status of the 787, which is being assembled in Seattle.

Main :: Flextone I / II / III / Duoverb / HD147
by hdsp on 2009-11-24 02:10:27
I heard a wonderful 212 Cab from Line Six. It seems to be an older one (can't find any information on the web). I think it's name was Vintage 212S. Do you know these? Which speaker model is used within (not only the brand, also the type/number)? I urgently want to get those speakers to put them into my Combo-Amp. (Or as an alternative I'm interested in buying one of those cabs. But where can I get it?) Do the new cabs use the same speakers? Thanx for any information!
by spaceatl on 2009-11-24 13:21:54
Maybe that's a Flextone 1 or 2 cab? not sure...got pics?
by hdsp on 2009-11-25 01:40:53
hi spaceatl,
thanx for that good hint. I thougth I wouldn't be a flextone cab but I seems to be one of an older series. I found a pic in the web of a cab that seems to be the one I played:
Do you know which series it is exactly? And the master-question: Which speakers? Might there be some Celestion G12H-90 or G12H-100 inside?
Thanx so far!
by spaceatl on 2009-11-25 07:47:17
I had an AX2 and that looks like it would match an AX2 although I don't remember there being a cab....Those are the best speakers Line 6 ever used I think...I think they were Eminence OEMs...I have heard that the now discontinued Modeling speakers is what those were...I think even if it turns out to be a Flextone series 1 or 2 that the speakers are the same as the AxSys, AX2 and original Spiders...I think they changed to OEM Seventy80s on the Flextone III, Vetta and Spider II generations....
by dapoirier on 2009-12-01 14:26:24
Please let me know if you are still interested in a Flextone 212S Cabinet. I have one in very good condition that I've just decided to sell ($125 plus shipping seems fair). I've attached a picture of it. I had been using with my pod x3, but I just got a spider valve and that seems to work with the x3 pretty well.
This cabinet does sound pretty good. I haven't looked inside the cabinet, but I think the speakers are "Tubetone" speakers which may have been made by Eminence. Personally, I liked these speakers better than the speakers I had in my Vetta and I also like them better than a spare Seventy80 speaker that I have. Its also a closed back cabinet which (to my understanding) is less common for Line 6 2x12 cabinets. I also had a really hard time finding information about this cabinet as they seem to be somewhat rare.
Let me know if you're interested. I was planning to place this on Craigslist or ebay, but I would prefer it go to someone that appreciates it.
by spaceatl on 2009-12-01 15:21:25
Sent you a PM...
by AndyParedes on 2009-12-02 10:33:55
We will close this thread as all seems to be answered, but let us know if you have any other questions.
by hdsp on 2009-12-02 10:43:51
Ok, thanx to everybody!
(Maybe the Line6 staff can tell me if it's possible to get these speakers as spare parts or somewhat like that? Otherwise it will be difficult to get exactly those OEMs.)
The information above may not be current, and you should direct questions to the current forum or review the manual.

My wife and I have the $2000 "big-name-brand" memory foam mattress that our kids love (and so do we!). I ordered one of these 9" thick twin varieties in "soft" for our oldest daughter -- it is an excellent mattress. The 9" thick is what you want -- much like a conventional type mattress that the sheets will fit on. I like the soft variety as it is a bit softer than my wildly expensive memory foam mattress (I would guess mine would translate into a medium firmness by this vendor). This is the exact same memory foam stuff you can spend a heck of a lot more on from what I can tell. My daughter loves it so much I bought two more of these (in soft) for my other two kids. Also, my name brand memory foam mattress out-gassed for month (wasn't a real big deal, BTW) but this one had no odor I could detect.
I purchased the soft mattress for my 2 year old daughter's big girl bed. We have had it for a few months and she sleeps great. It is very comfortable for me to lay on as well and I weigh 130 pounds, though I'm not sure how I would like to sleep on it all night, every night. Great mattress for a child or small preteen. It is a little on the firm side though, so unless you prefer a very firm mattress, stick with the soft option.
...as "Goldilocks" would put it.. I am so glad I went with the medium; thought it might be too firm: no way. Marvelous mattress!
My mother sleeps on a hospital bed and the mattress that was supplied was no good along with the replacements the company brought out. I found this mattress on overstock and was leary but ordered it any way. To my suprise it is GREAT!!. It expanded quickly and she slept on it the same day as arrival. She states she sleep like a baby. It is great value and I have told many of my friends and family.
This was my fifth purchase of a memory foam mattress from O Stock. The first four were for healthy adults and this last purchase was for medical reasons: elderly family member using a hospital bed at home was beginning to have skin breakdown from hard plastic mattress and ever since we bought the memory foam, the condition is reversed and almost healed now. I had a hunch that the pressure relieving effect of the memory foam would help improve the skin and so far, I was correct.
Shipping and packing was great, you all took extra care to package and ship in a timely manner.
This mattress was as expected. It fits the twin bunk bed frame very well, it's thick, and what we were looking for. It did not have any lingering smell after the first day, and even then the smell wasn't overwhelming to us. I would recommend it and the price is very good.
I looked at many before we chose this one, it came quickly and regained it's shape in less than 24 hours after unpacking. The smell did last a few weeks but it was not too bad. I use it for my 4 yr old. It's pretty comfortable, she seems to like it.
Bought this for my elderly father who uses a hospital bed. It is perfect for this, so much better than the mattress that came with the bed! Still allows the bed to adjust, while offering good support. Ordered the SOFT firmness and it is not soft in the usual way, but nice. A great value for the price- no issues with smell or unpacking at all. Try it - you will like it.
There will never be another box spring in my house ... maybe I'm behind the times but this mattress is the most comfortable one I've ever laid down on - and to think it works perfectly on a platform bed without having a box spring the size of a land barge. I don't know what else to say except if you're looking for a new mattress and are sick and tired of toting around big mattresses and box springs, this is your baby and not just because of that - it is firm (and that's the soft version), light and airy to sleep on.

(Boston Revised 01/10/12) New England Law | Boston: Palestinians are pressing their case before the United Nations, and statehood is but one of several possible outcomes. Professor John Cerone, director of the Center for International Law and Policy, commented on the impact of the October 31 vote to admit Palestine to membership in UNESCO.
"While the UNESCO vote is not insignificant, the numbers do not necessarily bode well for Palestine's quest for statehood. Palestine's membership application received 107 yes votes at the UNESCO General Conference. Even though there are 185 UNESCO member states entitled to vote, the 107 yes votes were sufficient to meet the two-thirds bar for membership, since the two-thirds calculation is based on UNESCO member states present and voting. Of the 173 eligible member states present, 52 states abstained, meaning that Palestine only needed 81 yes votes to be admitted.
"In other words, Palestine's membership bid attracted the support of less than 60 percent of the total UNESCO Membership. If this reflects what would be the result of a vote in the UN General Assembly, then even if a General Assmbly resolution is adopted, it is unlikely to be sufficient to independently confirm the statehood of Palestine."
Professor Cerone also commented on the United States's announcement that it would cut funds to UNESCO in response to today's vote. "The U.S has had a difficult relationship with UNESCO over the decades, leading to withdrawal from the organization in the mid-80s," Cerone noted. "On a somewhat ironic note, it was under the George W. Bush administration that the U.S. re-joined UNESCO, which ran counter to that administation's general stance on multilateral institutions–so it would be even more ironic if the U.S. again withdew during a Democratic administration."
Professor Cerone reviewed The UN and the Status of Palestine in a September 13, 2011, American Society of International Law (ASIL) "Insight" article that clarifies the complex legal issues surrounding the anticipated UN debate.
Professor Cerone distinguishes the legal issues of statehood and UN membership, and discusses the implications of Palestinian statehood, including the possibility of International Criminal Court jurisdiction over the conduct of Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
The Palestinian Authority submitted a formal membership application in late September. The U.S. and Israel have condemned the bid as "unilateral,' a characterization that strikes Professor Cerone as odd. "You can't get more multilateral than the UN. The U.S. and Israel trying to make the point that the statehood issue should be settled in cooperation with Israel, but 'unilateral' it clearly is not."
If the Security Council approves the application by an affirmative vote of nine members (and without a veto from a permanent member, such as the United States), the application will be forwarded to the General Assembly for approval, where a two-thirds vote is required.
"General Assembly approval is highly likely," believes Professor Cerone, "but the application is unlikely to reach that stage of the process given the United States's vow to wield its veto in the Security Council. At the moment the application is being considered by a Security Council committee and will likely sit there for some time to allow Israel, Palestine, the U.S., and others to hammer out a deal."
If a compromise is not reached, Professor Cerone predicts that the Palestinian delegation will turn to the General Assembly to seek 'affirmation of the statehood of Palestine.' "Affirmation of statehood, as opposed to mere UN membership, is actually the more significant legal issue," he notes. "It would have a number of legal consequences that concern Israel, including the possibility of ICC prosecution.
"With respect to this last issue, the Israelis may indeed have cause for concern," says Professor Cerone, who observes that the Cook Islands, an entity in free association with New Zealand, acceded to the ICC treaty in 2008. "Even though not a fully independent state, its accession to the Rome Statute was met with zero protest from other States Parties. This precedent may support the legality of Palestine's consent to ICC jurisdiction even if its status as an independent state is not fully established."
