Quincy Karting legend Gus Traeder dies at age 90
15/06/16	- Stories
Press Release by: Vroom
Gus Traeder was one of those special men who had the ability to look at a situation and make the right move.
Born on a farm in Rome, WI, Traeder went to work for Montgomery Ward in 1947 and was offered the job as manager of the Montgomery Ward Farm Store at 927 Maine in Quincy Illinois when he was only 24 years old. Within two years, the business became the number one farm store in the nation. Gus Traeder was heavily involved with fast pitch softball and coached numerous teams in the area during the early 1950s. It was, however, in 1957, through a store promotion that Gus Traeder was introduced to the go-kart. His life changed forever.
When Montgomery Ward decided that the karts didn't fit in with its other products, Traeder built TNT Kartways to sell and race the small vehicles. After an altercation with a local track official during a race, Gus decided to open his own track. He found property in West Quincy Missouri, designed the layout, had the track paved and turned the site into a Mecca for go karting. A short six years later ABC Wide World of Sports televised the National Championships from TNT's West Quincy site introducing kart racing to a national audience.
The Grand Prix of Karting, which was started by Traeder as a unique activity for the Dogwood Festival, ran for 30 years. Gus put Quincy on the karting map, by creating the now famous Miller Gran Prix Karting Classic in Quincy's South Park in the early 1970's. Years later, Traeder took karting to the streets of Quincy's main street area with the Uptown Karting Classic.
Gus Traeder loved his Blue Devil basketball and as a tireless worker and 30 year supporter of the Quincy Blue Devil program, Traeder put forth many man hours with various groups on behalf of the program, including the Thanksgiving Holiday Tournament committee. Blue Devil basketball fans benefited from Traeder's generosity in the late 1970's when he donated the scoreboard which still decorates the gym's south wall. It was, in its day, one of the most high tech scoreboards in use in the state of Illinois.
Traeder is a member of the Racing Hall of Fame in Talladega, AL and is the inaugural member of the Vintage Kart Racing Hall of Fame. Traeder is also a member of the Quincy High Sports Hall of Fame. He was inducted into the Quincy Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame in 2013.
Gus Traeder was an avid sportsman, loved his family, loved golf, and loved life. He would have been 91 on the 9th of August 2016.

Recently we attended a symposium addressing the UN climate change Conference of the Parties in Paris, due to begin at the end of November. The symposium started with a challenge from Sandra Boyack, MSP, for attendees to engage with civil society groups, raise awareness about climate change and climate justice, and disseminate our research through new and unconventional channels. This set the tone for a wide-ranging discussion, with panels covering domestic French politics and climate change, climate politics and justice, and the civil society response to climate change negotiations.
All of the panels considered the circumstances of the Paris conference, both in terms of the political moment, and the local and global reaction to the recent terrorist attacks. This would become a key theme of the day.
Speakers in the first panel, about French politics, went beyond political parties' positions and discussed how the Paris conference is an important event in President Hollande's term of office, since the outcome will inevitably provide political capital to either him or his opponents. This significance is only heightened by the terrorist attacks, which have placed a spotlight on the president and his handling of the aftermath. Dr Carl Death took a broader perspective in the second panel, describing Paris as a moment of political theatre where all participants are on show and need to be seen performing their respective roles.
Civil society panellists discussed the effect of restrictions recently placed on public protests and advocacy in Paris. While an important obstacle to the impact civil society groups hoped to have on the delegates and the media, panellists made clear that the restrictions have stimulated new and imaginative methods of communicating with the public and making their messages visible to conference delegates.
The significance of civil society was a second theme that ran through the symposium, and was specifically addressed in the third panel. Adrian Shaw, from the Church of Scotland, picked up on Sandra Boyack's point that faith groups offer a substantial and potentially influential cohort to engage and motivate about climate change. Mary Church provided an insight into Friends of the Earth activities and priorities in Paris, and Louisa Casson, from E3G, brought a wider perspective on civil society activists and campaigners. These contributions made clear that national and transnational groups are gearing up to provide the vocal and insightful pressure from the outside of the Paris conference that is so vital to robust governance.
The second panel, covering climate politics and expectations for Paris, emphasised the role of civil society in providing visible activity but also the need for their in-depth analysis and information more quietly behind the scenes. This echoed Sandra Boyack's insight into the important contribution civil society groups made to Scottish climate change legislation, by providing authoritative suggestions that fed directly into wording, targets and principles.
While nowhere near as dynamic as civil society, numerous panellists commented that climate change governance does show signs of evolution; this was a third core theme of the day. Central to this is the model of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs), where individual countries design their own voluntary commitments. Dr Paul Tobin described these changes as 'politically promising', but translating them into a robust treaty remains a significant challenge. The idea of ratcheting up expectations and commitments was raised by several speakers. This would involve scheduled checkpoints every few years to review progress and new technology, and agree more stringent measures. Ratcheting up is emerging as a potential means to turn the INDCs, which have fallen short of what is necessary to limit temperature rise to 2 degrees, into scientifically adequate action.
Dr Tobin described the potential for more bottom-up, individualised contributions to secure ongoing engagement from states within the UNFCCC and underpin the changing governance process. Dr Sherilyn Macgregor pointed out that behind this promise lies the actual and potential inequality of INDCs. A lack of consultation and representation in the creation process has generated concerns that vulnerable groups within national societies will be disproportionately affected by climate change policies or simply neglected.
Dr Death reminded us that even if climate governance is evolving, some debates, such as a 1.5 or 2 degree temperature limit, seem to have been lost by vulnerable groups. Revisions to the negotiating text in advance of Paris have been portrayed by developing countries as embodying US interests, suggesting that established political themes and controversies remain important in climate governance, and will undoubtedly play a role in Paris.
The symposium ended with small group discussions, which proved lively and fruitful. In our group, talk turned to how differentiation between states, with reference to the Common but Differentiated Responsibility principle built into the UNFCCC, can develop alongside INDCs. There was optimism that the combative focus on burden sharing and geopolitical manoeuvring that was so damaging in Copenhagen may be exorcised through the voluntary contributions approach. Nevertheless, the discussion mirrored the panellists in concluding that Paris will be, in the words of Dr Tobin, 'environmentally insufficient'.
Despite the challenges, the symposium was a reminder that a huge amount of effort is being poured into the future of climate governance by the academic and civil society communities. While the challenge to disseminate our research and engage with policymakers should remain with us in the months and years ahead, as the moment of truth draws near we must pressure and encourage our representatives, and hope they emerge in three weeks' time with the beginning of a new and promising chapter in climate governance.

The Washington Nationals entered the 2019 season with high hopes but an uncertain identity under second-year manager Dave Martinez. Gone was Bryce Harper. Still around were dominant starting pitchers in Max Scherzer and Stephen Strasburg star third baseman Anthony Rendon talented young outfielders Juan Soto and Victor Robles – and the specter of past playoff disappointments. A slow start dragged down by bullpen collapses saw the team 12 games below .500 and 10 games out of first place entering Memorial Day weekend. And then began a turnaround for the ages. Behind bedrock pitching from Strasburg and offseason acquisition Patrick Corbin clutching hitting from Howie Kendrick and midseason signing Gerardo Parra the Nationals played the final 112 games of the regular season as well as any team in baseball to capture a wild-card berth. Along the way they discovered the camaraderie and joy that would propel them to a wild-card victory over Milwaukee an upset of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the division round a sweep of the St. Louis Cardinals in the National League Championship Series and finally a World Series victory over the Houston Astros. In Fight to the Finish relive the Nationals' run through the images and words of The Washington Post photographers and reporters who followed the team every step of the way.

The Fight For History
NATIONAL BESTSELLER FINALIST for the 2021 Ottawa Book Awards A masterful telling of the way World War Two has been remembered, forgotten, and remade by Canada over seventy-five years. The Second World War shaped modern Canada. It led to the country's emergence as a middle power on the world stage; the rise of the welfare state; industrialization, urbanization, and population growth. After the war, Canada increasingly turned toward the United States in matters of trade, security, and popular culture, which then sparked a desire to strengthen Canadian nationalism from the threat of American hegemony. The Fight for History examines how Canadians framed and reframed the war experience over time. Just as the importance of the battle of Vimy Ridge to Canadians rose, fell, and rose again over a 100-year period, the meaning of Canada's Second World War followed a similar pattern. But the Second World War's relevance to Canada led to conflict between veterans and others in society--more so than in the previous war--as well as a more rapid diminishment of its significance. By the end of the 20th century, Canada's experiences in the war were largely framed as a series of disasters. Canadians seemed to want to talk only of the defeats at Hong Kong and Dieppe or the racially driven policy of the forced relocation of Japanese-Canadians. In the history books and media, there was little discussion of Canada's crucial role in the Battle of the Atlantic, the success of its armies in Italy and other parts of Europe, or the massive contribution of war materials made on the home front. No other victorious nation underwent this bizarre reframing of the war, remaking victories into defeats. The Fight for History is about the efforts to restore a more balanced portrait of Canada's contribution in the global conflict. This is the story of how Canada has talked about the war in the past, how we tried to bury it, and how it was restored. This is the history of a constellation of changing ideas, with many historical twists and turns, and a series of fascinating actors and events.
The Fight
In 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaïre, two African American boxers were paid five million dollars apiece to fight each other. One was Muhammad Ali, the aging but irrepressible "professor of boxing." The other was George Foreman, who was as taciturn as Ali was voluble. Observing them was Norman Mailer, a commentator of unparalleled energy, acumen, and audacity. Whether he is analyzing the fighters' moves, interpreting their characters, or weighing their competing claims on the African and American souls, Mailer's grasp of the titanic battle's feints and stratagems—and his sensitivity to their deeper symbolism—makes this book a masterpiece of the literature of sport. Praise for The Fight "Exquisitely refined and attenuated . . . [a] sensitive portrait of an extraordinary athlete and man, and a pugilistic drama fully as exciting as the reality on which it is based."—The New York Times "One of the defining texts of sports journalism. Not only does Mailer recall the violent combat with a scholar's eye . . . he also makes the whole act of reporting seem as exciting as what's occurring in the ring."—GQ "Stylistically, Mailer was the greatest boxing writer of all time."—Chuck Klosterman, Esquire "One of Mailer's finest books."—Louis Menand, The New Yorker Praise for Norman Mailer "[Norman Mailer] loomed over American letters longer and larger than any other writer of his generation."—The New York Times "A writer of the greatest and most reckless talent."—The New Yorker "Mailer is indispensable, an American treasure."—The Washington Post "A devastatingly alive and original creative mind."—Life "Mailer is fierce, courageous, and reckless and nearly everything he writes has sections of headlong brilliance."—The New York Review of Books "The largest mind and imagination [in modern] American literature . . . Unlike just about every American writer since Henry James, Mailer has managed to grow and become richer in wisdom with each new book."—Chicago Tribune "Mailer is a master of his craft. His language carries you through the story like a leaf on a stream."—The Cincinnati Post

I was inspired to teach anatomy by the excellent student lecturers who taught me during the dissection course in my first year of studies. I grew up in England, and moved to Prague in 2010 to study at the Second Faculty of Medicine at Charles University. I have now been teaching anatomy for four years and I have taught students of both the second and first medical faculties. I have enjoyed working on Memorix Anatomy and I believe it provides a unique way of presenting the complexities of human anatomy in a simple and concise format.

Home Diseases WTC Health Registry Tallies Asthma Hospitalizations
WTC Health Registry Tallies Asthma Hospitalizations
M. Lepmanis
Public Health Watchdog Breaking News
The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks affected millions and caused physical and mental health conditions for thousands of people directly or indirectly exposed to the disaster. For over a decade, the federally funded New York City Health Department WTC Health Registry has studied the long-term effects of the attack on area workers, residents, and students and the rescue, recovery and clean-up workers who responded. The Registry's research allows health care providers and policymakers to respond to health concerns, address gaps in care, and plan for future disaster.
Asthma Hospitalizations
Asthma is a chronic disease of the lungs when the airways become blocked or narrowed leading to breathing difficulties. There are more than 20 million people in the United States that suffer from this condition. Patterns of asthma hospitalization among people exposed to the WTC attacks, and measured whether 9/11-related exposures or comorbidities (the simultaneous or sequential presence of two chronic diseases or conditions in one person), including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and gastroesophageal reflux symptoms (GERS), were linked to an increased rate of hospitalization, reports PubMed.
Ten years after the attack, 15 percent of Registry enrollees had PTSD symptoms. PTSD was more likely to persist or get worse in individuals who were unable to get mental health treatment, had high 9/11-related exposure, were unemployed, or had little social support.
Parker Waichman is a national law firm that has spent many years fighting to ensure that the heroes and survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks are never forgotten. The firm is committed to helping anyone seeking legal information concerning a potential lawsuit.
Collecting Asthma Hospitalization Data
Data for adult people enrolled in the WTC Health Registry, with asthma who resided in New York State on 9/11 were linked to administrative hospitalization data to identify hospitalizations during September 11, 2001 to December 31, 2010. Data was used to analyze associations between 9/11 exposures, comorbid conditions, and asthma hospitalizations.
Of 11,471 enrollees with asthma, there were 721 total hospitalizations. Among enrollees diagnosed before 9/11, those with PTSD or GERS had more than twice the rate of hospitalization compared to those without. Management of these comorbidities may be a significant factor in preventing hospitalization. Sinus symptoms, exposure to the dust cloud, and having worked as a WTC responder were not linked to asthma hospitalization, according to PubMed.
Within six years after 9/11, one in ten Registry enrollees developed asthma – three times the national rate. The risk for asthma was higher for rescue, recovery, and clean-up workers who returned to homes or workplaces covered with a thick layer of dust as well as people who both lived and worked in lower Manhattan after 9/11.
Researchers found that poorly controlled asthma was significantly associated with lower household income, having health care needs that were unmet, and having tested positive for at least one mental health condition. The impact of having at least one mental health condition on the level of asthma control was significantly greater in females than in males.
Lung function is how well a person can move air in and out of the lungs. Firefighters and emergency medical service (EMS) workers suffered sharp declines in lung function within a year of the attack. Ten years after 9/11, these situations were largely the same, even in those who never smoked. Ten years after the World Trade Center (WTC) attack, lower respiratory symptoms (LRS) such as coughing, wheezing, trouble breathing, or using an inhaler continued to affect rescue and recovery workers, area residents, and passers-by. Half of those with persistent LRS also had PTSD, GERS, depression, or generalized anxiety disorder.
Six to seven years after September 11, four times as many firefighters and twice as many EMS workers had below-normal lung function for their ages, as before the attacks. Lung function issues were greater for current smokers than for non-smokers. Respiratory illness and mental health conditions frequently occur together in people exposed to disaster.
Researchers have determined that dust and debris that hovered over lower Manhattan contained a toxic mix of compounds, including asbestos, pulverized cement, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), benzene, dioxin, glass fibers, gypsum, jet fuel, heavy metals (including lead), irritants, toxins, and carcinogens. Over 90 health conditions, including 60 types of cancer, are believed to be a direct result of toxic exposure.

(viii)a benefaction of £149,386 from Dame Janet Wolfson de Botton DBE to support the digitization of Michel de Montaigne's personal library at the University Library.
The Council, in consultation with the General Board, has considered the remarks made at the Discussion on 7 July 2015 (p. 780) about the above Report (Reporter, 6390, 2014–15, p. 619).
Professor Evans has commented on the first sentence in Regulation 1 of the proposed procedure for determining fitness to study, noting that it covers behaviour or health issues which have the potential to cause disruption, as well as those for which there is evidence that they have already done so. Regulation 4 gives examples of circumstances in which a student's fitness to study may be brought into question, covering scenarios in which the University will wish to consider taking action where there is evidence that the health or behaviour of a student has the potential to cause disruption. The Council notes Professor Virgo's expectation that the procedure will be used rarely and is content that the Panel tasked with considering a case will heed Regulation 17 and 'make such decisions in respect of a student's fitness to study as it considers necessary and proportionate' to protect the best interests of the student, and other members of the University.
In response to Professor Evans's comment about the location of the new procedure, if approved it will form part of Ordinances, Chapter II, alongside the procedures to determine fitness to practise, which require the approval of a Grace for amendment.
The Council is submitting a Grace (Grace 1, p. 778) for the approval of the recommendations of this Report.
The Council notes the supportive comments of Professor Virgo and Ms Horgan, who both stress the importance of having a provision covering harassment.
Professor Evans raises a concern about the workability of the provision relating to the staying of disciplinary proceedings where a complaint has arisen on the same facts. The provision allows for a discretion to stay proceedings, rather than, as Professor Evans appears to suggest, an obligation to do so. Accordingly, the Chair of the Discipline Committee will take full account of all relevant circumstances, including the length of time that a complaint might take to be concluded, before deciding whether that discretion should be exercised.
Paragraph 7(b) of the Report notes that the Review Committee considered whether the student should always be accompanied by a legal representative at investigative meetings and concluded that this was not necessary; the student's right to be accompanied is unchanged.
The points Professor Evans makes about the design of the current framework echo the discussions of the Review Committee, which will consider in the second stage of the review how best to rework that framework, including the use of mediation and more informal procedures where appropriate.
The General Board have considered the remarks made by Professor Evans at the Discussion on 7 July 2015 (p. 781) about the above Report (Reporter, 6391, 2014–15, p. 644).
The General Board have endorsed the recommendations of its Review Committee and believe that the proposals presented in the Report will bring together within UIS a development team who can continue to provide innovative design to support teaching and learning, whilst offering greater resilience in the support of the operational services that CARET currently delivers.
The Council, on the recommendation of the Finance Committee, who have been advised by the Inter-Collegiate Committee on College Accounts, has agreed to propose revisions to the Recommended Cambridge College Accounts, to ensure compliance with Financial Reporting Standards and the revised Further and Higher Education Statement of Recommended Practice to be adopted in 2016.
The Council is therefore submitting a Grace (Grace 11, p. 779) to the Regent House for the approval of the amendment to the Schedule to the regulations for College Accounts (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 1052) as set out in the Appendix below.
The amended Schedule to the Regulations for College Accounts is available online at: http://www.admin.cam.ac.uk/reporter/2014-15/weekly/6394/RCCA-Schedule.pdf.

L'ouragan Grace est un ouragan de courte durée et de niveau 2 sur l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson qui a contribué à la formation de la puissance tempête de l'Halloween 1991, plus connue sous le nom de « The Perfect Storm ».

Évolution météorologique
Une zone dépressionnaire de moyenne altitude s'est formée le  au sud des Bermudes. Les rapports d'un navire voisin ont indiqué que la dépression avait atteint la surface le . Initialement, le système avait des caractéristiques subtropicales et le centre de circulation eut peu de convection profonde pendant plusieurs jours ce qui a résulté en une désignation de tempête subtropicale le . Une zone de nuages près des Bermudes est cependant devenue de plus en plus convective et a progressivement été entraînée dans la circulation en expansion. L'activité orageuse a persisté près du centre et le  est devenue la tempête tropicale Grace.

Après intensification, l'apparence sur les photos du satellite météorologique et les rapports d'avions de reconnaissance permirent de rehausser Grace en ouragan de catégorie 1 sur l'échelle de Saffir-Simpson. L'ouragan s'est dirigé alors généralement vers le nord-ouest jusqu'au , lorsqu'un cyclone extratropical s'est formé le long d'un front froid au large de la côte de la Nouvelle-Angleterre. Cette tempête s'est rapidement intensifiée et a influencé  la trajectoire de Grace, faisant tourner l'ouragan brusquement vers l'est. À peu près en même temps, un œil est apparu sur l'imagerie satellitaire, malgré l'absence d'une forte activité convective autour du centre de la tempête.

Grace a accéléré en continuant vers l'est et a atteint son intensité maximale de catégorie 2 le , avec des vents de  et une pression barométrique centrale minimale de  selon une réanalyse météorologique, bien qu'initialement ses vents soutenus n'avait été estimés qu'à ). Le rapide mouvement vers l'avant rapide de la tempête rendu une circulation asymétrique. Le centre est passé à environ  au sud des Bermudes sans affecter de manière significative l'archipel. La trajectoire a tourné au nord-est plus tard dans la journée, alors que la tempête extratropicale approchant rapidement a miné le centre de niveau inférieur de l'ouragan. Le système a été dépassé par la tempête frontale et a par la suite perdu son statut de système tropical.

Par la suite, Grace s'est déplacée vers le nord le long du front et a fusionné avec la dépression frontale au nord le . La tempête extra-tropicale s'est considérablement renforcée en raison du contraste de température entre l'air froid au nord-ouest et la chaleur ainsi que l'humidité associées aux restes de l'ouragan. La dépression a continué de s'approfondir en dérivant vers le sud-est puis vers le sud-ouest en direction des États-Unis.

Le cyclone a atteint son intensité maximale à  au sud d'Halifax (Nouvelle-Écosse) comme ouragan de catégorie 1, avec des vents soutenus de . La tempête est communément connue sous le nom de « The Perfect Storm ». Cependant, elle n'a pas reçu de nom à l'époque.

Impact
Un avertissement de tempête tropicale a été émis pour les Bermudes le . Le lendemain, environ 10 heures avant le passage au plus proche de l'île, l'avertissement est devenu un avertissement d'ouragan. Le , l'avertissement a été graduellement diminué puis abandonné. L'île a connu des bourrasque  de vents avec les bandes de pluie externe de la tempête. Les précipitations ont culminé à . Cependant, aucun dommage significatif n'a été signalé. Un yacht voyageant des Bermudes à New York a rencontré des vents forts et une mer de  bien au large de la côte de Virginie, ses neuf occupants ont été secourus par des hélicoptères de la Garde côtière américaines.

En raison de sa grande taille, Grace a généré de grandes houles le long de la côte est des États-Unis, combinées à des marées anormalement hautes. Ces vagues ont atteint au moins . Malgré une érosion mineure des plages, aucun dommage matériel important ne s'est produit, bien que Carolina Beach, en Caroline du Nord, ait perdu environ 30 centimètres de sable. C'est la tempête qui lui a succédé (« The Perfet Storm ») qui a causé d'importants dommages côtiers, une forte mer, des vents puissants et des pertes de vie.

Bystander caught on camera saving alligator handler during attack
The dramatic video shows one of the guests climbing on top of the alligator, pinning it. Another guest then helps the handler escape from the pool.

SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah reptile center employee is recovering after an alligator yanked her into its enclosure during a presentation, thrashing her around before a fast-acting visitor leapt inside and helped free her from its jaws.
Video taken by a guest shows an unidentified handler at Scales & Tails Utah, in suburban Salt Lake City, talking to some adults and children about the alligator Saturday when it bit her hand and dragged her into the water.
Shane Richins, the company's owner, said in an interview Monday that the handler was opening the enclosure to feed the alligator as usual, but this time the reptile "got a little extra spunky."
He said the center normally has a strict policy for a second handler to be nearby when employees are working with the alligators. But that hasn't been enforced in recent years if the worker isn't planning to enter the enclosure, he said.
"We still enforce it strictly whenever somebody gets in with the gator but, of course, going forward, we will be back to strictly enforcing it with any interactions with the gator for that very reason," Richins said.
Edit: To use this video in a commercial player or in broadcasts, please contact publishers@storyful.com" "Crocodile Donnie" Although, this was actually an alligator. 😉 We didn't expect this kind of thing when we set out for a birthday party today! 😮 I have the most awesome, brave husband ever! Love you so much Donnie Wiseman and I'm glad you're okay!!❤ Video credit: Theresa Wiseman

After pulling the handler into its pen, the alligator began whipping around and kept its jaws clamped on her as she struggled to break free.
One of the guests, later identified as Donnie Wiseman, yelled "We've got trouble in here!" before jumping into the water and climbing on top of the reptile.
Another bystander ushered the children away as they cried, the video showed.
Wiseman got the alligator pinned, and the handler calmly gave him and another man, Todd Christopher, instructions to help her escape from the pool. Wiseman stayed on top of the reptile until after the woman was free.
Christopher's wife, who has a background in nursing, then began performing first aid before emergency crews arrived.
Richins said the handler underwent surgery and is taking antibiotics. The West Valley City business said Sunday she is "doing well and is in recovery." According to its website, Scales & Tails Utah is a family-run operation that provides educational presentations on reptiles, birds, spiders and scorpions.
It hailed the visitors who rushed to the handler's aid.
"These gentlemen could have stayed in the safety zone as most of us would, but instead jumped into the situation, of their own volition, and helped secure the alligator," the company said in a statement. "Their help, combined with the training of our staff member, probably saved her life and her limbs."

Le Ann Arbor Railroad (sigle de l'Association of American Railroads AAR : AA) est un petit chemin de fer américain de classe III reliant Toledo, Ohio à Ann Arbor, Michigan. Il commença son activité le  comme successeur du Michigan Interstate Railway. Auparavant et jusqu'en 1976, la ligne avait été exploitée par le Ann Arbor Railroad, premier du nom, et qui reliait Ann Arbor à Frankfort, d'où partaient des train-ferries pour rejoindre la rive ouest du Lac Michigan. Le Great Lakes Central Railroad exploite ce qui reste de l'ancienne ligne principale de l'Ann Arbor Railroad entre Ann Arbor et Yuma, ainsi que des embranchements vers Traverse City et Petoskey.

Histoire
L'actuel AA est très lié à l'industrie automobile principalement autour de Toledo (Jeep, Ford et GM), mais aussi à Saline, au sud d'Ann Arbor, où se trouve l'équipementier automobile Visteon. Il transporte aussi du sable pour les fonderies, du ciment pour Holcim près de Dundee, Michigan, et des céréales (en provenance du Great Lake Central Railroad) à destination de Toledo pour le CSX Transportation.

Les interconnexions
Ses interconnexions sont nombreuses: elles se situent dans 4 villes différentes et permettent des échanges avec 6 compagnies de chemin de fer différentes.  à Toledo (Ohio) avec le Norfolf Southern NS, le CSXT, le Canadian National CN et le WE (Wheeling & Lake Erie Railroad); à Ann Arbor (Michigan) avec le Great Lakes Central Railroad; à Milan (Michigan) avec le NS; et à Diann (Michigan) avec l'Indiana & Ohio Rail System (IORY).

The times, and buildings, they are a'changin'.
It used to be that using a green cleaning product made buildings and janitors define themselves as 'green'. But that is simply not enough, and now there's a thorough avenue that benefits both property owners and janitors much more significantly.
Launched in Los Angeles as a partnership between the U.S. Green Building Council-Los Angeles (USGBC-LA) Chapter and Building Skills Partnership (BSP), the Green Janitors Program provides hands-on energy management and green cleaning training to janitors to address Operations and Maintenance practices that enable buildings to meet green performance standards, with special focus on resulting energy efficiency.
The program has certified over 600 janitors in the last 18 months across L.A. County. Buildings or tenants that are now home to Green Janitors include LA County Museum of Art, LA Dept. of Water and Power, Dreamworks, Sony Pictures Studios, multiple Century City buildings, and all Kilroy-run buildings. The Program also supports the City of Los Angeles' "Sustainability pLAn". And the program has spread to building owners in San Diego, Orange County and the Bay Area.
The 30-hour, multiple-exam training curriculum—presented in Spanish—was created jointly by BSP and USGBC-LA, and addresses Energy & Water Conservation, Recycling & Waste Diversion, Green Cleaning, and Health & Safety. In LEED-certified existing buildings, which includes four of the original buildings committed to the Program, green maintenance and operations practices are required. However, prior to this Program, the janitors, who are at the forefront of building operations, didn't necessarily understand why certain sustainable procedures or materials were required, or the kind of impact they, as janitors, could have on energy reduction and water consumption—and ultimately, human health—through their work. The building owners also didn't quite realize what an asset the janitors could be, and now the janitors are empowered as a key resource in building operations.
USGBC National also established a 'LEED Operations+Maintenance: Existing Building' pilot credit for building service worker training, adding value to the partnership and program participation, and encouraging other cities to follow Los Angeles' lead with green janitors.
Certified Green Janitors have become part of the proactive solution to a building owner's ability to save energy, save money and overall make the building healthier for its tenants. Their certification also increases their value as an employee, and the SEIU has helped establish "Certified Green Janitor" as an approved job title, so that building owners / contractors can specifically request such a janitor for hiring.
By end of 2016, USGBC-LA hopes to import a similar program from New York's USGBC chapter, called GPRO, which trains electricians, plumbers, building superintendents and property managers. The LEED O+M EB credit noted about was established for this. The L.A. and NY chapters are looking to meld the best of the two complementary trainings.
Julie Du Brow is the principal of dubroWORKS.

Mrs. Burroughs. I saw the Prisoner come into the shop, and take away a bladder of hogs lard. I stood at the end of the counter, while he was in the shop, but was very much frightened, because I had no body in the house but myself. He looked me full in the face and went out with it. It was near a quarter of an hour afterwards before I could send for my husband: I described the Prisoner to him, and he was taken up about nine o'clock at night[.]
Prisoner [Thomas Adcock]. I was then in Chick-Lane, hearing some girls singing of ballads; I believe they will come to my character, and prove where I was at that time.
The balled-singers were called but did not come to the character of the Prisoner. Guilty.

$f_x$ = $ -(y/x^{2}) \cos(1/x) + x\sin(1/y)$
$f_y = \sin1/x - (x/y^{2} )\cdot\cos (1/y) $
These both partials do not exist at X axis and Y axis and origin. At other points in xy plane they exist. Same for continuity. Is that enough, I'm not confident? Can anyone please elaborate? Thanks

A: let us look at $f_x.$ you have the formula $f_x = -\dfrac{y}{x^2}\cos(1/x) + \sin(1/y)$
it is clear that $f_x$ is continuous everywhere except possibly on the $x$ and $y$ axis. we will look at the axes in turn.
on the $x$-axis, $f$ is identically zero. so $f_x(x, 0) = 0$ for all $x.$
on the $y$-axis, we will use the definition of $f_x$ to compute $f_x.$
for
$y \neq 0, f_x(0,y) = \lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{f(h, y)}{h}
=\dfrac{y \sin (1/h) + h\sin (1/y)}{h} = \sin(1/y)+ y\lim_{h \to 0}\dfrac{\sin (1/h)}{h}$ does not exist.
so the set $S_1 = \{(0,y) \colon y \neq 0 \}$
can you do the rest?

The two former American record holders own Movin' Shoes in San Diego.
Meb Keflezighi and Bob Kennedy were never on an Olympic team together, but the two former American record holders are now business partners as owners of Movin' Shoes, a chain of three running stores in the San Diego area.
In November, Keflezighi announced that he was leaving the Mammoth Track Club to reside full-time in San Diego, where he went to high school. In May, his house in Mammoth Lakes went on the market.
That timing coincided with Kennedy, the leading American distance runner of the 1990s, acquiring a majority stake in Movin' Shoes, which has been a San Diego running institution for a quarter-century.
Kennedy's involvement is a little surprising, because last September he sold his interest in the chain of running stores he had started in the Indianapolis area. At that time, he said he would stay in the running industry, but indicated his involvement would be in something other than a retail store. "I'm excited about a new idea and vision I'm working on right now," he said then. "I'll have something to talk about in a couple of months. I can tell you it is in the running industry. I'm confident it's a viable idea."
Kennedy was on the 1992 and 1996 Olympic 5000-meter team, and once held the American records at 3000 meters, 2 miles, and 5000 meters. Keflezighi has been on three Olympic teams, and placed second in 2004 and fourth in 2012 in the Olympic Marathon. He held the American record for 10,000 meters from 2001 to 2010.

"The exhibition amply illustrates how Jones transcended his sport and became an American hero at a time when the nation most needed one," said Fair Play curator Dr. Catherine Lewis, a professor at Kennesaw State University, noted Jones scholar, and long-time Atlanta History Center guest curator. "His strength of character , athletic skill, and personal accomplishments inspire us today. One of of the most compelling features of the new exhibition is a section that ponders why Bobby Jones matters."
A renewed exhibition about one of the world's most accomplished persons in the sport of golf, Fair Play: The Bobby Jones Story focuses on the character and achievement of the man considered the most important golfer in the history of the sport, Georgia's own Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones.
1457: In the earliest reference to golf, King James II of Scotland bans golf and football because they interfere with military training.
As the History Center's only exhibition focused on a single person, Fair Play: The Bobby Jones Story features a host of new artifacts, including a rare prgoram from the inaugural Augusta National Invitational—today known as the Masters—in 1934; a personal letter from Jones to two-time Masters winner Ben Hogan; and four first edition books authored by Jones.
1902: On March 17, 1902, Robert Tyre "Bobby" Jones, Jr. is born to attorney Robert Purmedus Jones, called "Colonel", and Clara Merrick Thomas Jones.
At the height of his career, Bobby Jones retired from the sport to devote time to his family, career, and his native city of Atlanta. Afterward, he became golf's beloved ambassador and helped found the August National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament, today the sport's premier tournament.
1916: Bobby Jones wins Georgia State Amateur Championship at age 14 and competes in the U.S. Amateur as the youngest competitor that year.
Jone's remarkable journey is perfectly encapsulated by an enlarged 1971 quote by sportswriter O.B. Keeler on the entrane to the Imlay Gallery exhibit: "Bobby Jones has more character than any champion in our history."
1930: Bobby Jones become the first and only golfer to win what O.B. Keeler the "Grand Slam" — British Amateur, British Open, U.S. Open, and U.S. Amateur. Two months later, Jones retires from competitive golf.
I wrote about Bobby Jones a few years ago; about a number of places you can visit to celebrate his life, but the "Fair Play" exhibition at the Atlanta History Center is THE place to start.
1971: On December 17, 1971, Bobby Jones died and is buried in Atlanta's Oakland Cemetery. His plot is a "putting green" and many visitors leave golf balls at his final resting place.
While the photographs in this post are my own, the majority of the copy is courtesy of the Atlanta History Center. If you're a golfer, a fan, or merely an enthusiast like myself, I highly recommend this magnificently presented exhibition.

How to Avoid Wasting Money on Enterprise Mobile Apps
Enterprise mobile apps can drive heightened employee productivity by enabling workers to get work done wherever and whenever they're able to. But mobile apps will only generate payback if there's a clear business case for their deployment and they're actually used by mobile workers. To help drive mobile app adoption in the enterprise – and, subsequently, positive ROI for enterprise mobile apps – treat each app deployment like a campaign. Start by defining the objectives – is the mobile app intended to meet a need that's been articulated by a work group or a department? Has an opportunity been identified to improve work processes, employee/team output, and/or efficiency through the deployment of a targeted mobile app for a work group such as field service workers or sales reps? Once the goals for your enterprise mobile apps have been defined, draft a business model for each app and choose a single measure of success. As a starting point, determine whether there is a specific business or operational problem the mobile app is intended to address. Does the app address an articulated need among employees, contract workers, and other stakeholders that will drive usage and adoption? From there, select a single metric to gauge success (e.g. the cost of an app against the number of active users; increases in customer lifetime value or conversion rates from the use of a mobile sales app; changes in employee/work group productivity, etc.). Of course, in order to achieve ROI with enterprise mobile apps, it's critical to gain buy-in from the people who will be using them. A "build-it-and-they-will-come" approach won't cut it. It's essential to actively rally mobile workers (employees, contract workers, business partners) to the cause using clearly-communicated messaging through town hall meetings, senior leadership email memos, one-on-one meetings and other forums. Actively solicit worker feedback to determine their state of mobile readiness, geographic location, role, and other factors that can impact usage. From there, administrators can collect feedback, track engagement, gauge adoption rates, make changes to apps where needed, and evaluate ROI. As part of these efforts, analytics tools can be used to measure and respond to each user touch point along the app download and usage journey. The insights gleaned from this analysis can be used to identify opportunities for training, proactive support, UX enhancements, and other steps that can be taken to increase app usage and drive revenue, efficiency, and productivity gains.


Parts 1 and 2 looked at the top two toxic habits common to people of all cultures and time periods. They remain entrenched because we either believe them to be good (willful anger and contempt) or don't realize we're harboring them (an adulterous spirit that divorces God's kind of love). Therefore, we're in no great hurry to get rid of them.
Tied to this is insistence—insistence on winning arguments, for example, or forcing others to live up to our expectations, standards, or demands. Swearing and insistence are a common form of spiritual adultery that can kill a loving, gracious spirit. The opposite would be to not force or press a claim, one positive definition of the Greek word for divorce (apoluo).

Q: FinanceApp.getHistoricalStockInfo call does not return proper values When I try to get the historical quotes using the following block of code, the stockInfo array is coming back empty.  Based on the criteria specified in the FinanceApp.getHistoricalStockInfo function call, I should get the prices for GOOG stock for the trading day 11/30/2012.
function TestMethod()
{
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var date = new Date(2012, 11, 30);
  var retValue = FinanceApp.getHistoricalStockInfo("GOOG", date, date, 1);
  var ret = retValue.stockInfo[0];

  Logger.log(ret);  /* This comes back as 'undefined' */
  Logger.log(retValue.close);  /* This comes back as 'undefined' */

  if (retValue != undefined && retValue.stockInfo[0] != undefined)
    Logger.log(retValue);
}

This method used to work properly until about 10 days ago.  I have tried posting this to the google groups forums also but no one has responded yet.

A: When you put the interval of 1 day, then you will have to have difference of at lease one day between start and end date.
e.g
function TestMethod(){
  var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSheet();
  var startDate = new Date(2012, 10, 30);
  var endDate = new Date(2012, 11, 1);
  var retValue = FinanceApp.getHistoricalStockInfo('GOOG', startDate, endDate, 1);
  var ret = retValue.stockInfo[0];

  Logger.log(ret);
  Logger.log(retValue);
}

Maze Runner, The
By Mrs. Norman Maine
DEAD END KIDS
Main Cast: Dylan O'Brien, Aml Ameen
Director: Wes Ball
Normy and I have arrived in Manhattan for a brief time to discuss certain improvements that Star is Born pictures can offer to the somewhat moribund cultural institutions at Lincoln Center. Our first stop was the Metropolitan Opera where we had a lovely sit down four martini lunch with Peter Gelb at Café Fiorello. Normy has been hard at work on a new opera of simply monumental proportions, a biography of Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria which we are tentatively titling Wiggy.
There is absolutely nothing more operatic than Mad King Ludwig's Castle!
Normy has completed six hours of music so far and still has to finish the third act. As his orchestration calls for thirty two violins, tubular bells, boom whackers and a foghorn, we feel that the Met is the only American opera company that can do it justice. Browsing through the Met gift shop, I ran across a new CD of French arias by young tenor Bryan Hymel and after a quick listen I knew that he would be the perfect person for the demanding lead role of Ludwig as he should be able to toss off the forty six high Cs in the second act aria (Ich bin ein verruckte Konig) with minimal difficulty. Peter said he'd think about it. I told him that if he passes and we will have to take it to Houston Grand, but we could offer him Normy's comic sequel to Bellini's masterpiece – Norma, Is That You?
From there we crossed the square to the Beaumont where Kelli O'Hara is about to open a revival of The King and I under the direction of Bartlett Sher. This is a show I know a little something about having played Mrs. Anna in the third national tour opposite the divine Tab Hunter as the king. We sat through a run and while it was charming, it really needs some more pizzazz if it wants to bring in the tourist trade. Fortunately, I brought a large quantity of Day-Glo silks with me and instructed the wardrobe department to run up some new outfits for the King's wives and children and to spare no expense on the ostrich plume trim. The second act ballet also needs help and I strongly suggested to Mr. Sher that it be replaced with The Small House of Mrs. Norman, a twenty minute tap spectacular around Asian themes that I worked up for the D.C. Cherry Blossom festival back in the 80s. The tap combinations are relatively easy and they could get it rehearsed and in the show in about three days, plenty of time before the critics arrive. He said he would take it under advisement. If he doesn't do it, he can say goodbye to that best revival Tony.
After that, it was drinks at Sardi's with my tap therapist, Lulu Pigg who is in town playing the title role in The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime while the usual performer is in rehab. Then a cocktail or two with Madame Mimi, my vocal therapist while we discussed how out of practice I have become while I have been so busy with movie production. She has prescribed a concentrated regimen of Sigmund Romberg to let my inner Jeanette McDonald run free. With all of those insignificant little Long Island Ice Teas and Manhattans in my system, I was a bit tiddly so I toddled off to the hotel and flicked through the random DVDs I had picked up recently at the Pic and Save in order to find a mindless film to accompany a relaxing evening.
My choice was The Maze Runner, yet another in the seemingly endless young adult multipart dystopian sagas that have become so popular in recent years (I'm looking at you Divergent and The Hunger Games). Like these predecessors, it is based on a popular series of novels, these penned by James Dashner. I think this genre of literature is supposed to prepare the millennials for a world completely screwed up by earlier generations so they will be content having a life less than their parents; personally, I'd rather give them a literature that might incite them to improve and change things for the better within the system which is how the world actually works. However, all of these titles have similar stories of a small group of young adolescent outsiders overcoming a corrupt society and fighting their way to freedom, a process that usually requires three novels and four films.
Our story begins with our hero, Thomas (a sturdy and rather impossibly good looking Dylan O'Brien, best known from the latest version of the subgenre of adolescent werewolves, the TV series Teen Wolf) arriving by clanking industrial elevator into a serene meadow populated by other adolescent boys, all of whom arrived in a similar fashion at monthly intervals. They have no memory of their lives before their arrival and no knowledge as to why they have been sent there. Chief among them is Alby (Aml Ameen), the first to arrive and their leader by seniority who has helped them fashion a Lord of the Flies meets medieval agrarian society. There is of course a foil for Alby, Gally (Will Poulter), the reactionary who wants nothing to change and a United Nations of supporting types including Newt (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), Minho (Ki Hong Lee) and Chuck (Blake Cooper) who seems to have been cut from one of the Alvin and the Chipmunks films. Their serene glade is surrounded by the high metallic walls of a constantly changing labyrinth. What its purpose is, other than to keep them trapped in their glade, is unknown but some of the plucky youths run the maze trying to find a way out. This is fraught with danger as the moving maze walls may crush them and the maze is inhabited by giant biomechanical spider/scorpion thingies that they call Grievers which carry a deadly sting and which can tear them apart.
Thomas begins to question the status quo as soon as he arrives and starts to violate the rules of the little society by doing things such as entering the forbidden maze when he is not a dedicated runner. He soon becomes trapped in the maze overnight and survives his encounters with the Grievers, something that no one else has done. Soon the Grievers are attacking the glade and, to complicate things, the elevator brings up a new resident off schedule and this one is a girl (Kaya Scodelario). Under these strains, their social order starts to collapse. Will Thomas save the day and help them escape from the maze before the end of the film? Will where they came from and why they have been placed in the maze be explained (albeit in a somewhat confusing and unsatisfactory way)? If you cannot answer these questions, you don't know how Hollywood makes movies.
The film is competently made by director Wes Ball. He stages the sequences in the maze quite effectively and the inexorable mechanical movements of walls and traps keep us on the edge of our seats. He is less successful in his scenes within the glade itself and the attack of the Grievers on the glade in the dark is so muddy and befuddled that it's very hard to tell what's going on. I was not enamored of the script (credited to four writers but probably bearing the fingerprints of many more). I have not read the original novel so I cannot say how well it adheres to the original author's intentions but the rather broad brushstrokes and somewhat lame dialog cheapens the characters and keeps us from really caring too much about their origin or their ultimate fates. There is so much that could be explored in character interaction: where do their societal rules really come from? How do they really maintain order and hierarchy? The film completely sidesteps the psychosexual dynamics of a single female introduced into an all-male society, especially when those men have not been properly socialized to deal with their feelings.
The film was a huge hit both domestically and worldwide which ensures that sequels will be made (there are more books and the ending leaves the sequel possibilities wide open). The film is not appropriate for young children as the fighting and maze effects will be too intense but will be of interest to older children, adolescents and young adults. Mature adults might like it as a mindless piece of entertainment, but if they wish to truly explore these themes, they would be better off with Peter Brooks' film version of William Golding's The Lord of the Flies.

A Decade of Job Changes At A Glance
By John Zappe June 10, 2014 July 23, 2015
If you want to see what industries and occupations are adding jobs, which are losing, and where they stand, you could you spend a few hours with the Bureau of Labor Statistics drilling into the employment numbers there.
But for a quick look at dozens and dozens of job types, take a look at the amazing — and addictive — interactive charts The New York Times assembled from the BLS data.
The three charts here showing temp, search and PEO jobs, are just a sample of the 255 charts. At a glance, you can see how so many industry types and occupations have fared over the last 10 years
With the BLS reporting that the U.S. economy has now recovered the 8.7 million jobs lost during the recession, The Times undertook to show "how the recession reshaped the nation's job market, industry by industry."
Referring to it is as a "mixed recovery," The Times says, "Industries that paid in the middle of the wage spectrum generally lost jobs. And while the economy overall is back to its pre-recession level, it hasn't added the roughly 10 million jobs needed to keep up with growth in the working-age population."
Conveniently, industries and jobs in related areas are shown together, even if the government's indexing system doesn't necessarily group them together. So for instance, jobs in nail salons are shown alongside pet grooming, boarding and training, and other types of jobs under a "Grooming Boom" chart heading.
Some of the charts show drill down data; others are more top level. They include salary data and indicate which categories have lost, gained, or held steady over the years. One of the charts shown here includes employment placement agency workers and executive search employees (308,900). Another shows PEO employees (397,100) under the heading "Employer human resource services."
Because the chart titles don't necessarily conform to the BLS category names, including the appropriate NAICS code for each of the 255 charts would have been helpful. Nevertheless, The Times' project is an addicting, and graphically easy way to see at a glance what's happened to so many jobs and industries since before and through the recession years.

Q: Not able to connect to Oracle using Service Name I have hit a strange problem where I am not able to connect to Oracle as normal -

When I do follow this pattern I get the following error - ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor.
If I type in with username/pwd@hostname/servicename it will connect. The tnsnames file is fine, it has never changed at all. It is also strange that this problem also exists not with one database, but with a couple of others.
