Akane Yamaguchi credited her home crowd for propelling her to a second top-level victory inside a week at the DAIHATSU YONEX Japan Open.
The YONEX All England champion backed up her World Championship win in Tokyo with a hard-earned Super 750 success in Osaka seven days later.
Yamaguchi beat Olympic gold medallist Chen Yufei in a three-game semi-final thriller and then overwhelmed An Se Young 21-9 21-15 in the final.
"I'm glad I won – and I'm tired," said the 25-year-old. "I wasn't sure how far I could go today but I managed to leave it all out there and had fun.
"It was unbelievable for the crowd to cheer you on the way they did and it feels great to be able to respond to all the support".
There was more Japanese success in men's singles as Kenta Nishimoto stunned fourth seed Chou Tien Chen to claim the first individual title of his career.
Nishimoto staged an incredible run to the final that saw him claim the scalps of world top ten players India's Lakshya Sen, Dane Anders Antonsen and Jonatan Christie.
He saved another career-best effort for the showpiece and slayed yet another top ten star. He was pegged back by Chou Tien Chen at 23-21 in the second having won the first game but prevailing 21-17 in the rubber.
"I'm full of joy but I'm so relieved I won a title", said Nishimoto, who had lost six previous BWF World Tour finals.
"I was really nervous. Before the match I felt like I was going to throw up. But I just had to go out there and do it so I'm glad with how things turned out.
"There was a period when I couldn't come up with the results I wanted but I hope I can get some momentum going from here. This goes to show I've been on the right track all long and I want to make sure to sustain it.
"I want to crack the top eight in the world so I can have a seed. And to do that, take it one day at a time, one practice at a time, one play at a time."
There were contrasting fortunes for the Japanese contingents as repeat YONEX All England champions Yuta Watanabe and Arisa Higashino were denied in the mixed doubles.
The pair were beaten 16-21 23-21 21-18 by Thailand's Dechapol Puavaranukroh and Sapsiree Taerattanachai having also settled for second at the World Championships.
China's Liang Wei Keng and Wang Chang won their first title in just their fifth tournament together in men's doubles.
They beat Denmark's Kim Astrup and Anders Skaarup Rasmussen 21-18, 13-21, 21-17 in the final having accounted for Indonesia's 'Daddies' and newly-crowned world champions Fajar Alfian and Muhammad Rian Ardianto.
Jeong Na Eun and Kim Hye Jeong beat South Korean compatriots Baek Ha Na and Lee Yu Rim 23-21, 28-26 for the women's doubles crown.

Researchers generate clean energy using bacteria-powered solar panel
Researchers have taken the next step in the evolution of bacteria-powered energy
By Editorial Team April 12, 2016 0
For the first time ever, researchers connected nine biological-solar (bio-solar) cells into a bio-solar panel. Then they continuously produced electricity from the panel and generated the most wattage of any existing small-scale bio-solar cells – 5.59 microwatts.
"Once a functional bio-solar panel becomes available, it could become a permanent power source for supplying long-term power for small, wireless telemetry systems as well as wireless sensors used at remote sites where frequent battery replacement is impractical," said Seokheun "Sean" Choi, an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering in Binghamton University's Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science, and co-author of the paper.
Choi is the corresponding author of the paper "Biopower generation in a microfluidic bio-solar panel," which reported the findings.
"This research could also enable crucial understanding of the photosynthetic extracellular electron transfer processes in a smaller group of microorganisms with excellent control over the microenvironment, thereby enabling a versatile platform for fundamental bio-solar cell studies," said Choi.
Xuejian Wei, a graduate student in the department, and Hankeun Lee '15, who will graduate from Binghamton in May, were also authors of the study.
The current research is the latest step in using cyanobacteria (which can be found in almost every terrestrial and aquatic habitat on the planet) as a source of clean and sustainable energy. Last year, the group took steps toward building a better bio-solar cell by changing the materials used in anodes and cathodes (positive and negative terminals) of the cell and also created a miniature microfluidic-based single-chambered device to house the bacteria instead of the conventional, dual-chambered bio-solar cells.
However, this time the group connected nine identical bio-solar cells in a 3×3 pattern to make a scalable and stackable bio-solar panel. The panel continuously generated electricity from photosynthesis and respiratory activities of the bacteria in 12-hour day-night cycles over 60 total hours.
"Bio-solar cell performance has improved significantly through miniaturizing innovative device architectures and connecting multiple miniature cells in a panel," the report said. "This could result in barrier-transcending advancements in bio-solar cells that could facilitate higher power/voltage generation with self-sustainability, releasing bio-solar cell technology from its restriction to research settings, and translating it to practical applications in real-world."
Even with the breakthrough, a typical "traditional" solar panel on the roof of a residential house, made up of 60 cells in a 6×10 configuration, generates roughly 200 watts of electrical power at a given moment. The cells from this study, in a similar configuration, would generate about 0.00003726 watts.
So, it isn't efficient just yet, but the findings open the door to future research of the bacteria itself.
"It is time for breakthroughs that can maximize power-generating capabilities/energy efficiency/sustainability," Choi said. "The metabolic pathways of cyanobacteria or algae are only partially understood, and their significantly low power density and low energy efficiency make them unsuitable for practical applications. There is a need for additional basic research to clarify bacterial metabolism and energy production potential for bio-solar applications."

Residence Enchancment may be the most rewarding expertise you possibly can embark on, if you happen to like the do-it-your self thing. The underside line is that a properly-lit, gentle, shiny and spacious kitchen, well equipped with trendy appliances, plenty of space for storing and ornamental tiles, paint and window remedies, will add value and enchantment to any dwelling's remodel plan.
It could mean including a part of the balcony into the living room, masking part of the backyard for an extra room, remodeling the kitchen to accommodate a table and chairs or a brand new cooking range, or renovating loos as they could be trying previous.
Individuals do not easily discover that some areas of the home need enchancment. So if it's a must to apply two coats because of an inferior watered down paint then the fee simply doubled in time and the added paint needed to get the job accomplished. You may also seal the entire inside of your basement (walls and floors) to stop water from being wicked to the inside area.
Since architects could charge an hourly or a flat charge, be sure to get an estimate of the entire cost: drawing up the plans for a major remodeling project can take eighty hours or extra. Adding bathrooms and bedrooms to a property is a great starting point to improving your property's general worth.
That's nice motivation for some dwelling improvement initiatives. Including bogs and bedrooms to a property is a great start line to bettering your private home's overall value.
There many the explanation why homeowners determine to undertake any dwelling enchancment project, and one is to spice up property value to be recouped with a closed sale. Sure, it's doable to realize beauty with simple house transforming projects. It should go without saying that home initiatives will be expensive, so chances are you'll be tempted to deal with them yourself as a approach to economize. Kitchen is a good place to start when considering a home enchancment challenge.
And when you consider making improvements, take into accout the worth of different properties within the area. Throwing a housewarming get together can seem intimidating, however, careful planning and organizing might help throw an important get together, that will likely be remembered fondly by neighbors, friends, and household.
residence enchancment repair tasks generally contain transforming jobs. your home's worth should not be greater than 20% above the common, which means that a $10,000 kitchen enchancment undertaking nicely may very well be a greater investment than a $10,000 sizzling tub, particularly if yours will be the only home within the space with a scorching tub.
the life expectancy of wood siding is lowered with publicity to moisture, so regular portray or staining is required upkeep for longevity. planning to assemble and paint such a timeless toy is feasible with the help of these kits. some residence improvement tasks develop out of an instantaneous need to replace broken or inefficient fixtures.
home enchancment return will not be all the time financial, but also shows in a top quality construction and living surroundings for you and your family which advantages you for the years you spend there. if you are planning improvements to an area of your house that is in need of repair you could possibly embody the restore as an enchancment. while that may be a reliable purpose to rework, keep away from basing your own home improvement projects on rapid needs.

Description of the genus
Succulents, spineless; often rhizomatous, forming compact to diffuse clumps. Stems decumbent to prostrate, fleshy and firm, glabrous, purplish, mottled; tubercles spreading, often laterally flattened. Inflorescences glabrous, often 1-3 per stem; 1-40 flowered; bracts 1-several, lanceolate with several teeth. Sepals 5, lanceolate, acuminate; corolla usually rotate to campanulate, often thickened into a prominent annulus around a mount, mostly deeply lobed. Fruit consisting of erect follicles, divergent with two horns.
Comment: More recent phylogenetic evidence has led to the forming of a very broad concept of the genus Ceropegia including the genus Brachystelma and all known genera within the Stapeliae (Bruyns, P.V., Klak, C. & Hanáček, P., 2017). We will await a broader form of acceptance of this new concept before changing the taxonomy in our database.

Pete Townshend To Receive Les Paul Award at 28th Annual TEC Awards
Mix Staff ⋅ Sep 5, 2012
Legendary lead guitarist and principal songwriter for The Who, Pete Townshend (pictured), will be presented with the prestigious Les Paul Award at the 28th Annual Technical Excellence & Creativity Awards, to be held Friday, January 25, at the Anaheim Hilton during the 2013 NAMM Show. Presented by the TEC Foundation for Excellence in Audio, the TEC Awards recognizes outstanding achievement in professional audio technology and production.
The Les Paul Award, named in honor of the legendary musician and inventor who passed away in 2009, is presented annually to honor individuals or institutions that have set the highest standards of excellence in the creative application of audio and music technology. Russ Paul, son of Les Paul, will make the presentation to Pete Townshend on behalf of the Les Paul Foundation, sponsor of the award. Past recipients include Paul McCartney, Brian Wilson, Stevie Wonder, Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, Sting, Al Kooper and other musical giants since the award was instituted in 1991.
According to Michael Braunstein, Executive Director of the Les Paul Foundation, "Following in Les' footsteps, Pete Townshend personifies both guitar wizardry and technical prowess in both studio and live music performance. He is a true original and a natural choice for the Les Paul Award honor."
The TEC Awards will be held on the second night of the NAMM Show and is expected to attract more than 1,000 audio and music professionals from around the world. Proceeds of the ceremony provide scholarships for students of the audio arts and sciences, and support programs promoting safe hearing in the music environment, an issue of special importance to Townshend.

Flippin' huge meteor, and then no more dinosaurs!
This is not a story about time travel. At least, it isn't yet. But it could be by the time it ends.
So many people have now led so many versions of their own lives that it has created a whole new branch of psychological analysis, and a correspondingly large shelf space in bookstores for the associated self-help books, to deal with the particularly prevalent forms of self-envy that come from being unsure if the life one is currently leading is the best, or merely the second-best, life that one could be leading. Indeed, Time Travellers Anonymous has supplanted the formerly well-attended Billionaires Anonymous groups because although it had, of course, become frighteningly commonplace for literally everyone who entered the mid-week lottery to win first prize, the inflation rate would inevitably jump to a thousand percent overnight, and the going rate for a loaf of bread would soon equal, say, two small luxury yachts and a diamond-encrusted miniature purebred poodle's necklace, give or take the poodle.
How then can a cross-time detective possibly earn a living when most people spend most of their lives actively making history not only bunk, but completely worthless? This exact question was, or is, just crossing the mind of Arlington Wolfe, out of work cross-time detective, when his front door suddenly explodes into a shower of matchsticks.
Sarah: You! You slimy, scuzzball! You sack of snakes!
Arlington: Hey, err, have we met?
Sarah: Typical! The typical male of the species. "Hi. You have amazing eyes. I'm from the future. Can I buy you a drink?" And then I never hear from you again. Well, not this time, mister, this time the female gets even. This time, I'm going to vaporise you.
Arlington: I've never been to 1986.
Arlington: Hey, everyone makes mistakes.
Sarah: In answer to your question Arlington, yes, yes, we have met. Only when we first met, you'd apparently already met me. Just now.
Arlington: Ah, I see. Would you like a drink?
Sarah: [Sullen.] Next you'll be saying I have amazing eyes.
Arlington: I wouldn't dream of it.
Sarah: Well, there's nothing for it. I've come all this way. You'll just have to go back in time and fix it.
Sarah: All of it. [apologetic] I kind of messed it up getting here.
Arlington: You realise I charge by the hour?
Sarah: [pause] And I thought that was a pick-up line too. All right, mister cross-time detective. Will a million dollars cover it? And while you're at it, can you arrange things so that we never meet?
Arlington: Tricky. But I like a challenge.
Sarah: What's with the hat?
Arlington: It's my time machine. Well, it's been nice knowing you, er...?
Terminator: The 12 gauge autoloader.
Terminator: The .45 longslide with laser sighting.
Gun Store Owner: Anything else?
Arlington: I just need to know the time?
Terminator: Phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.
Gun Store Owner: Hey, just what you see, pal.
Gun Store Owner: 12:21. Why?
Terminator: The Uzi nine millimetre.
Gun Store Owner: You know your weapons, buddy. Any one of these is ideal for home defence. So, uh... which'll it be?
Gun Store Owner: [Annoyed.] The 16th. June.
Gun Store Owner: 1984! What you bin smokin' pal?
Gun Store Owner: I may close early today. There's a 15-day wait on the handguns, but the rifles you can take right now - You can't do that!
Doc Brown: At precisely 1:17 A.M. I will start accelerating the DeLorean towards us. If my calculations are correct, when it reaches 88 miles per hour the flux capacitor will activate, channelling 1.21 gigawatts of energy into the time circuits, thus sending Einstein and the DeLorean one minute into the future!
Marty: Wait a minute, Doc. Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?!
Doc Brown: The way I see it, if you're gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style?
Marty: What do you want me to do?
Doc Brown: Record it, Marty! The greatest scientific experiment in history, Marty, think about that!
Arlington: Excuse me, do you have the time?
Marty: Doc! He's stealing the DeLorean!
Arlington: One can never have too many time machines!
Sarah: What? Who are you?
Arlington: It's me, Sarah! Oh, I forgot, you didn't want to meet me.
Minister: Do you know this man?
Sarah: I've never seen him before in my life.
Minister: Do you have an objection, young man?
Arlington: Oh! Sorry, no, no objection, carry on, everyone.
Arlington: Sorry, sorry! I just wanted to tell Sarah something.
Arlington: Just in case, you know, it doesn't work out with "Fergus", I can fix things so this day never happened. Although I do charge by the hour. Arlington Wolfe, cross-time detective, at your service.
Sarah: What am I, a freak magnet? Can we get on?
Minister: Ahem! And do you, Sarah Louise Delaney, take this man, Fergus Sean Connor, to be your lawful wedded husband?
Minister: Then I now pronounce you, husband and wife.
Sarah: Not another one? Yes? What is it? Can't a girl get married in peace?
Panicked Wedding Guest: He's got a gun, look out!
Arlington: [rapidly] Sarah! Hi! You have amazing eyes, I'm from the future, can I buy you a drink, come with me if you want to live. I think that was the right order.
Arlington: Quick, get in the car with the dog.
Sarah: Is that a DeLorean?
Arlington: My hat! We've got to go back.
Sarah: What are you talking about, drive!
Arlington: Without my hat, I'll be stuck in the eighties!
Sarah: Mister, with that hat you'll be stuck in the eighties.
Sarah: What? Where are we?
Arlington: When are we, more's the point.
Sarah: Oh. My. God. This is the Titanic.
Arlington: How do you know?
Sarah: This sign on the life saver which says "S.S. Titanic".
Arlington: Ah. Where're you going?
Sarah: [fading] back in a tick.
Arlington: [wary] What did you do?
Sarah: Told them there was an iceberg up ahead, so they should slow down and steer left.
Arlington: Okay, some rules about time travel... Don't interfere in history.
Sarah: Thousands of people died.
Sarah: Most of them poor, locked below decks.
Sarah: So what kind of immoral person goes through time without trying to fix the big disasters?
Arlington: Ah... well... you have a point. Let's get out of here.
Sarah: Is that what I think it is?
Arlington: Why, what do you think it is?
Sarah: I think it's an Allosaurus.
Arlington: You certainly know your car-crushing dinosaurs.
Sarah: I used to work for Kelloggs.
Arlington: This one's not plastic! Run!
Arlington: If only we had a third time machine.
Sarah: Let's hide behind this giant clock.
Arlington: Giant clock? What's that doing there?
Blackadder: Quick Baldrick, think of something.
Blackadder: Well done Baldrick. I think that answers the question of what killed the dinosaurs: your smelly pants.

Throw by throw, Jake Bentley built a stellar quarterback career
By Zach Sweat | Dec 5, 2019

Jake Bentley has played his last snap as the quarterback of the South Carolina Gamecocks. The Opelika, Alabama, native announced on Twitter Monday that he will enter the transfer portal to spend his final year of eligibility at another school. Bentley has been out since the first game of the 2019 season when he injured his foot on the last play of the game.
Let's take a look at Bentley's time under center with the Gamecocks.
Freshman season:
In Will Muschamp's first season as South Carolina head coach in 2016, his team struggled due to many different factors. One of those factors was ineffective quarterback play with the constant shuffling of Perry Orth and Brandon McIlwain. Sitting at 2-4 and heading for another disappointing season, Muschamp turned to his third-string true freshman quarterback for a spark. Bentley came on and provided just that, leading the Gamecocks to win four of their next five games, including an upset win over No. 18 Tennessee. South Carolina earned a spot in the Birmingham Bowl and Bentley threw for 390 yards in that game.
Sophomore season:
The next season would be Bentley's first full season as quarterback for the Gamecocks. Through efficient quarterback play and an opportunistic defense, the Bentley-led Gamecocks won nine games for just the seventh time in school history. This season was capped off with an Outback Bowl win over Michigan that saw South Carolina come back from a 16-point deficit in the second half. That comeback was led by Bentley, who threw for 239 yards and two touchdowns against a stout Michigan defense, including a picture-perfect 53-yard bomb to Shi Smith that put his team ahead for good. Bentley's future with the Gamecocks looked bright.
Junior season:
Bentley's junior season was a roller coaster. For the first half, Bentley struggled against SEC competition, throwing seven interceptions in just 3 1/2 games. In the second half, versus Texas A&M, the switch flipped for the junior quarterback. Over the next 6 1/2 games, Bentley threw for 20 touchdowns to six interceptions. This was highlighted by his historic game against Clemson. Going into Death Valley at night and against the No. 1 ranked defense in the country, Bentley carved the Tigers to pieces. He ended the game with 510 yards and five touchdowns. That 510 yards was the most ever in a single game for a South Carolina quarterback and it came against the best defense in the country. Despite this passing clinic from Bentley, the Gamecocks defense gave up over 700 yards and the team lost 56-35. Bentley's 2018 season is one of the best seasons statistically for any South Carolina quarterback.
Senior season:
Bentley's senior season ended after just one game. He suffered a Lisfranc injury in the season opener that required surgery and was shut down for the rest of the year. Muschamp was forced to turn the position duties over to true freshman Ryan Hilinski. The Gamecocks ended this past season with a 4-8 record and scored only one touchdown in their last three games. One can only speculate how different the season would have been had Bentley not been injured.
While he might not be remembered fondly because of his win-loss record, Bentley will go down fourth all-time in yardage and third all-time in touchdowns in just 2 1/2 seasons as the South Carolina quarterback. He will take a medical redshirt and be given another year to prove himself somewhere else.
Bentley has yet to announce where he will spend his final year of eligibility.

Megnin re-analysed: the case of the newborn baby girl, Paris, 1878
Perotti, M. A. (2009) Megnin re-analysed: the case of the newborn baby girl, Paris, 1878. Experimental and Applied Acarology, 49 (1-2). pp. 37-44. ISSN 0168-8162

This paper analyses acarological evidence from a 130-year-old forensic investigation. It was the first case in forensic acarology, i.e., the first case where mites provided substantial information to estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI). In 1878, the mites found in the mummified body of a newborn baby girl in Paris, France, were studied by acarologist and forensic entomologist Jean Pierre M,gnin. M,gnin estimated around 2.4 million mites in the skull and identified them as Tyroglyphus longior (Gervais), a junior synonym of Tyrophagus longior. He suggested that the arrival of these mites at the corpse would have occurred by phoresy on carrier insects, roughly 5 months before the autopsy. There is no doubt about the identification of the mites, M,gnin was a highly respected acarologist. However, two main factors affecting the biology of Tyrophagus mites were not included in the original analysis. First, M,gnin stated that the mites were phoretic. However, he probably did not have access to information about the natural history of the species, because as a rule Tyrophagus mites are non-phoretic. Considering the omnipresence of Tyrophagus mites in soil, most likely the mites will have arrived almost immediately after death. Second, temperature was not taken into account during the estimations of the mite population growth rate. The new analysis is based on current knowledge of Tyrophagus biology and includes temperature, estimated following a handful of weather reports of the years 1877 and 1878. The new projections indicate that non-phoretic mites may have colonised the body just after death and the colony would have built up over 8 months, contrary to the 5 months proposed by M,gnin. This new lapse of time agrees with the PMI proposed by Brouardel: on 15 January 1878 he postulated the death of the newborn to have occurred some 8 months before the autopsy.

How To Start A Business Without Quitting Your Day Job
Starting a franchise business can be an attractive option for people who have always wanted to have their own business, but may not be ready to quit their day jobs just yet. Being able to profit directly from your labor, increase your independence, and gain better control over the future of your career all prove compelling incentives for folks like John Baldino and his wife, Kathleen, of Milford, Delaware. Baldino and his wife, both with corporate backgrounds, spent some time researching franchises, and the one that rose to the top of their list was a beauty salon business. They liked its business model and that it was a "manager-run" business, in which the owner manages the manager, who runs the store. "I was already a customer for probably five years before I actually bought one," he said. The idea of starting with a small operation that offers future growth has great appeal, especially for folks who may be anxious about venturing out on their own. A franchise system like the one the Baldinos chose can help ease the transition. The way this franchise system is designed, the owner is the people manager and the cheerleader, whose job is to check the numbers and be involved in recruiting, training and marketing, as well as scoping out the next business opportunity. After deciding to purchase a salon, Baldino said they went through a six-month evaluation — a type of mutual vetting period — before they were able to sign the contract. "The process of how to run this business is very well-defined," Baldino said. "There was a clear understanding of what it takes to be successful." Baldino particularly liked how the company's procedures and technology all worked together. For example, this franchisor offers its owners an iPad app, through which franchisees can get real-time data on what's going on in their salons. Owners can actually sit in their office (at their job) and watch the salon. They can see which stylists are currently cutting hair and which ones may be on a break. Many of this company's franchisees come from corporate America, and the quality they tend to share is an interest in conservative growth. They want their own businesses but don't want a lot of risk, so they prefer to start slow. And over time, franchisees are encouraged to purchase additional salons because a multi-unit operation offers economies of scale, as well as greater management flexibility. For example, managers can shift stylists around to different stores to meet demand The Baldinos started with one franchise two years ago, opened their second a year later and are now actively scouting for another location. "I have a great general manager. She runs both salons," he said. "I just have to mix in the right people." Baldino estimates he puts in about 10 hours a week, and his wife, who left her job to devote more time to the business, works 25 to 30 hours a week. Their growth mode increases the time commitment, he noted, since opening a new salon requires an extensive ramp-up period and intensive marketing to encourage people to change their habits. Since their managers handle the nitty-gritty of day-to-day operations, he and his wife can think about the bigger picture, such as marketing and growing their business. While Baldino isn't ready to leave his corporate job, he can imagine the day he will transition completely to small-business owner. By then, it may not be such a small business. As for now, they're looking at one franchise at a time.

The latest Linney digital displays capture eyes, imaginations and sales.
Digital 3D window displays created by Linney are introducing some retail theatre and driving footfall at Wilko's second digital format store, opened recently at Meadowhall in Sheffield.
The store opening, by reality TV star Jake Quickenden, coincided with the chain's 'Spring and Garden' launch – giving us the opportunity to create bright, themed displays.
We also installed a screen behind the counter, featuring animated content to raise seasonal event awareness and reduce perceived queuing times.
With our MyScreens offer, we managed all digital screen activity from concept to hardware and software installation. Plus, our creative strategy has made sure the right audiences see the right content at the right time.
Using Audience Attention Analytics, we're comparing screen content, assessing campaign success from dwell time at the screens and conversion rates – currently tracking at 53%.
It's a great example of Linney screens, paper and spaces in action.

MTA: On track to nowhere
by Stephon Johnson July 17, 2014 October 20, 2021
The Metropolitan Transit Authority started running ads on nine different radio stations this week to promote their side of the negotiations with Long Island Rail Road workers for a new contract.
"Unionized Long Island Rail Road workers are the best paid in the nation," says the ad's narrator. "They make almost $90,000 a year, get free health care and generous pensions. The MTA offered to up their salary 17 percent without raising fares or delaying service improvements by making modest changes for workers who haven't even been hired yet. Current employees would get everything they asked for. Yet the unions are still threatening to strike. When is enough enough? Get all the facts at mta.info."
As New Yorkers prepare themselves for a potential LIRR workers strike, the two sides involved don't seem to be budging on their demands. With President Barack Obama slated to come into town Thursday, the potential lies for the national spotlight to be shined on this latest public transportation blow up.
International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers Long Island Rail Road General Chairperson Anthony Simon issued a statement.
"I regret to report that negotiations have collapsed with New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and all eight unions are now proceeding with strike plans for July 20," read Simon's statement. "MTA rejected the counter offer we presented last Thursday (July 10). It presented no counter proposal. It continues to insist that the unions agree to a contract worth less than the value of the compromise recommendations of two Presidential Emergency Boards (244 and 245). MTA has clearly decided that provoking a strike is the course of action it intends to pursue. No further negotiations are scheduled."
The strike would begin at 12:01 a.m. Sunday, July 20.
The dispute has been slowly burning for four years, with the United Transportation Union seeking 17 percent in raises over six years and no concessions for future workers and the MTA proposing a 17 percent increase over seven years and concessions involving the benefits and wages of future workers. White House-appointed arbitration panels have recommended the union's route.
Contingency plans, if a strike should happen, include free shuttle buses from LIRR stations during a.m. and p.m. peaks (4-7 a.m. and 3-7 p.m.), free park and ride setups at places like Citi Field and the Aqueduct Race Track, the suspension of non-emergency highway work and the encouragement of carpooling from several Long Island state parks (Hempstead Lake State Park, Valley Stream State Park, etc.).
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo attempted to put the onus on Congress to step in and resolve the labor dispute, but D.C. threw the hot potato back up north. For the moment, Cuomo is leaving it in the hands of the MTA and the union to resolve matters.
"The Long Island Rail Road is a critical transportation system for Long Island and New York City," said Cuomo in a statement released on Wednesday. "We must do everything we can to prevent Long Islanders from being held hostage by a strike that would damage the regional economy and be highly disruptive for commuters. Both the MTA and the LIRR unions need to put the interests of New Yorkers first by returning to the table today and working continuously to avoid a strike."
If Cuomo does get involved in the dispute, he can look to what his father did 20 years ago. In 1994, Mario Cuomo–then governor of New York–got involved in a contract dispute between the MTA and LIRR during an election year and eventually helped bridge the gap between the two parties after a two-day strike. But this didn't keep him in office, as he lost his reelection bid to Republican challenger George Pataki and didn't receive many votes in Nassau and Suffolk county. Andrew Cuomo might be cautious in an election year, but that doesn't mean his challenger, Rob Astorino, won't egg him on.
During a radio interview on a station in Albany, Astorino called out Cuomo for not getting involved in the dispute.
"He basically said to Long Islanders, 'Go to hell. It's not my job,'" said Astorino. "To make that kind of comment is just unbelievable, that he would say it's not his job when it was apparently his job when the same people were negotiating a different contract in New York City for the subway and bus workers," Astorino said.
New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is starting to feel the heat despite not having the ability to control the outcome of negotiations. The mayor still plans to go on vacation in Italy with his family (and some aides) on Friday. According to his staff he will be going away for eight days and 20.5 hours. When asked about postponing or pushing back his trip, de Blasio said he planned on going and trusted the protocol in place if a strike were to happen. He has also held out hope of a resolved situation before Sunday.
"I hope everyone will continue talking," the mayor said during a recent news conference. "I think that's the way forward. We certainly found that in our labor relations in the city. The more we talked, the more we found a pathway to resolution. In the event there is a strike, the contingency plans are very, very strong. We benefit from the fact it's July, and I think the amount of travel is reduced in July.
"We benefit from the fact that a lot of people now, because of technology, can work from home," continued de Blasio. "And I imagine if that event comes to pass, a lot of people will work from home who live in Long Island. So I think the contingency plans are very, very strong."
No matter where New Yorkers stand on the issue, all New York Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli knows is that an LIRR workers strike would cost the region tens of millions of dollars (up to $50 million by his estimates) in economic activity daily.
"A LIRR strike would cause headaches and financial hardships for riders and businesses," said DiNapoli in a statement. "It would also be another devastating blow to a region that is still struggling to recover from Superstorm Sandy and the recession. Both sides must go the extra mile to reach a reasonable settlement so we can avoid the costly impact of a strike and the millions of dollars in lost economic activity."
DiNapoli's projected numbers are based on LIRR ridership information, census data and economic data. The comptroller said that an estimated 300,000 riders rely on LIRR every day when traveling between Long Island and New York City and within the island for work, shopping and tourism.
With the potential strike happening right in the middle of peak tourism season for Long Island and New York City, any slowdown in public transportation would produce significant gridlock and traffic—and maybe the good will that local politicians have built up with citizens.

Fire! About five o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, the 7th inst., that valuable Grist-Mill, belonging to Fostor HORTON, of Tunkhannock, was discovered to be on fire; and in two hours was burnt to the ground, together with the valuable effects it contained, among which were 100 bushels of grain; 75 belonging to Mr. HORTON, the remainder to his neighbors.
He had expended about one thousand pounds on this mill, had turned his attention principally to it, and had brought it to such perfection that its equal was not within 20 miles. By very great exertions, an adjoining Saw-Mill, which was several times on fire, was saved from the devouring element.
Here in a field for exercise of Humanity. Let those to whom Fortune has dispensed her favors, extend the hand of Charity for the relief of a worthy, tho' unfortunate fellow-citizen, who sees the effects of several years industry in a heap of ruins.
Those gentlemen who feel a disposition to assist Mr. HORTON in the erection a new Mill, will be pleased to leave their donations with Col. HOLLENBACK, or Judge FELL, in Wilkesbarre and Lawrence MYERS Esq., Gilbert CARPENTER or Williams TRUCKS in Kingston. We believe the smaller favors will be thankfully received.
