The American and Soviet Struggle for Hearts and Minds
Tony Shaw and Denise J. Youngblood
The Cold War was as much a battle of ideas as a series of military and diplomatic confrontations, and movies were a prime battleground for this cultural combat. As Tony Shaw and Denise Youngblood show, Hollywood sought to export American ideals in movies like Rambo, and the Soviet film industry fought back by showcasing Communist ideals in a positive light, primarily for their own citizens. The two camps traded cinematic blows for more than four decades.
The first book-length comparative survey of cinema's vital role in disseminating Cold War ideologies, Shaw and Youngblood's study focuses on ten films—five American and five Soviet—that in both obvious and subtle ways provided a crucial outlet for the global "debate" between democratic and communist ideologies. For each nation, the authors outline industry leaders, structure, audiences, politics, and international reach and explore the varied relationships linking each film industry to its respective government. They then present five comparative case studies, each pairing an American with a Soviet film: Man on a Tightrope with The Meeting on the Elbe; Roman Holiday with Spring on Zarechnaya Street; Fail-Safe with Nine Days in One Year; Bananas with Officers; Rambo: First Blood Part II with Incident at Map Grid 36-80.
"A well-researched book that contributes new ideas and insights. Shaw and Youngblood have produced a valuable addition to the literature on film, popular culture, and the Cold War."
—Journal of American Culture
"A comprehensive survey of U.S. and Soviet film output in the course of the waxing and waning of the Cold War conflict. . . . A rich and rewarding undertaking in helping us grasp Cold War issues through surveillance of one of its crucial theaters."
"An insightful and novel introduction to the visual culture of the Cold War."
—Slavic and East European Journal
"[A] significant contribution to Cold War studies, film studies, and comparative history. It should interest a broad range of scholars and would make an excellent text in classes on the Cold War and Cold War culture."
"Places American and Soviet Cold War cinema in direct dialogue. . . . The big contribution of [the] book is to provide a way to begin to see past the basic dichotomy of good versus evil, and propaganda versus entertainment, to a more subtle understanding of the workings of ideology."
—Russian Review
"[T]he first full-length history of American and Soviet cinemas important role in waging the Cold War warfare. Film scholars and historians alike will benefit from a careful reading of this path-breaking work."
"Packed with new revelations and fresh insights, this is cultural history at its finest. A 'must read' for anyone interested in twentieth century popular culture or the Cold War."
—Kenneth Osgood, author of Total Cold War: Eisenhowers Secret Propaganda Battle at Home and Abroad
"Provides a balanced and rigorously researched picture of the propaganda war that was fought on screen, and contributes to a deeper understanding of a crucial, and still enigmatic, period in our recent history."
—Anna Lawton, author of Imaging Russia 2000: Film and Facts
"Bold, engaging, and thought provoking. The cinema emerges from this study as a vital window on the two combatant societies, an area of Cold War tension, and a frequent protagonist in its own right."
—Nicholas J. Cull, author of The Cold War and the United States Information Agency
"Breaks important new ground on the history and representation of the cultural Cold War. Keen analysis, striking illustrations, and illuminating pairings of the Soviet and American films are among the strengths of this book. Highly recommended."
—Walter L. Hixson, author of Parting the Curtain: Propaganda, Culture, and the Cold War and Myth to Power: National Identity and U.S. Foreign Policy
"The two most knowledgeable people in the field of Soviet and American cold war films combined their talents to produce an important book. Their work demonstrates similarities as well as difference in the two film industries. The reader of this book will learn not only about movies but also about ideologies that motivated the antagonists."
—Peter Kenez, author of Cinema and Soviet Society from the Revolution to the Death of Stalin and A History of the Soviet Union from the Beginning to the End
Shaw breathes new life into familiar American films by Elia Kazan and Woody Allen, while Youngblood helps readers comprehend Soviet films most have never seen. Collectively, their commentaries track the Cold War in its entirety—from its formative phase through periods of thaw and self-doubt to the resurgence of mutual animosity during the Reagan years—and enable readers to identify competing core propaganda themes such as decadence versus morality, technology versus humanity, and freedom versus authority. As the authors show, such themes blurred notions regarding "propaganda" and "entertainment," terms that were often interchangeable and mutually reinforcing during the Cold War.
Featuring engaging commentary and evocative images from the films discussed, Cinematic Cold War offers a shrewd analysis of how the silver screen functioned on both sides of the Iron Curtain. As such it should have great appeal for anyone interested in the Cold War or the cinematic arts.
Tony Shaw is professor of contemporary history at the University of Hertfordshire and author of Hollywood's Cold War. Denise J. Youngblood is professor of Russian history at the University of Vermont and author of five books, including, most recently, Bondarchuk's War and Peace: Literary Classic to Soviet Cinematic Epic.


FC Barcelona and Real Madrid will meet directly in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. This was the result of the draw on Friday afternoon, which also brought Real Betis and FC Valencia together.
So there will be two more editions of the Clasico this season. Barça against Real for final ticket in the Spanish King's Cup. The two arch rivals will meet on 6 and 27 February, first at Camp Nou and three weeks later at Madrid's Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. "This is one of the best games you can see in the world these days. It will be a great fight," Reals club director Emiliano Butragueño announced afterwards. Barcelona are record winners in Spain with 30 wins and defending champions; Real have won the trophy 19 times.
The result of the draw also means that three days after the semi-final return leg, the Catalans, who currently lead the league in La Liga, will have to play again in Madrid, then for league points (2 March).
On paper, Real Betis' chances of qualifying for the final at their own stadium on 25 May increased. The club from Seville, who have won the Cup in their history in 1977 and 2005, have avoided the two major leagues and will face FC Valencia (seven Copa del Rey titles, most recently in 2008). This is where the current league eighth will meet the league seventh.

Lycoming Therapeutic provides Behavioral Health Rehabilitative Services (BHRS) to children and adolescents diagnosed with mental health disorders or serious emotional disturbances. These children typically display severe behaviors within either their home or school environment and are in some jeopardy of being placed into a more restrictive environment.
Once we receive a referral, we work with all other service providers involved, such as guidance counselors, classroom teachers, caseworkers, and parents, to "wraparound" the child and provide individualized intervention. We develop and implement an individualized treatment plan to use as a guide in stabilizing the child. Our goal is to transfer skills to the family, and provide the child with the skills needed to understand and control their behaviors that are associated with their personal mental health disorder. We provide this service in accordance to CASSP Principles.
How does someone get these services?
A child's behaviors or symptoms must indicate a DSM IV mental health diagnosis AND the child must be in some jeopardy of being placed in a more restrictive environment. This could mean that the child's behaviors are unmanageable by the parents, teachers, daycare workers, or other adults in the child's life.
These services must be specifically recommended in a written Psychological or Psychiatric Evaluation.
The child or adolescent must have or acquire Medical Assistance.
to schedule a psychological evaluation and we will determine if these services are medically necessary.
At Lycoming Therapeutic, we have an incredible pool of staff with many years of experience. It is the Executive Director's responsibility to assign a mental health staff member that will best suit the child, taking into consideration the child's behaviors of concern, culture, demographics, and family preferences.
The MT provides 1:1 therapy/counseling to the child and family outside of an office setting. The MT can also design and direct the implementation of the treatment plan and coordinate care with other services providers. (Master's degree'd mental health professional).
The TSS provides 1:1 interventions to the child under the direction of the BSC or MT. (Bachelor's degree'd mental health professional). TSS from Lycoming Therapeutic receives over 20 hours per year of ongoing training.


The 22nd November was a big day in Brussels. While across town at the European Parliament Europe's leaders assembled to engage in political grandstanding about the EU budget for the next 7 years, another group of science and technology policy makers gathered at SciTech Europe for rather more fruitful discussions. SciTech Europe is an annual event which brings together funders, policy makers, e-infrastructure providers, researchers and industry to discuss the future direction of science and technology in Europe. Although not the largest of events, it's an international and potent gathering – I met people from Slovenia, Romania, Belgium, Moldova and the UK without even really trying.
Keynotes included Charles Leadbeater, author and former government advisor and Professor Martin Adler of the Euroscience Foundation, and the programme also featured a series of 'masterclasses' in the areas of technologies for the future, Innovation partnerships, pure medical science and excellence in research. One of these masterclasses was delivered by Steven Newhouse, Director of the European Grid Infrastruture which provides computing and data services to more than 21,000 researchers across Europe. He asked 'what have e-infrastructures ever done for us?' Apart from supporting high energy physics, life sciences, environmental sciences, federating clouds, promoting international standards….. You can read more about his nod to Monty Python on the EGI blog (but no silly walks luckily).
The event concluded with a star appearance by Professor Lord Robert Winston, Professor of Science and Society and Emeritus Professor of Fertility Studies at Imperial College. (I accidentally upgraded him to 'Sir' in my tweets @CatherineGater but no doubt it's just a matter of time anyway).He was introduced by Jheni Osman, author and freelance journalist who billed him as about to regale us on the future of science and technology. Winston gently refuted this almost straight away. For him, the whole point is that you can't predict which of today's cutting edge developments will lead to tomorrow's ubiquitous technology. He pointed out the example of the laser, an interesting phenomenon when first produced, but lacking any concrete usage. Today you find lasers in computers, supermarket check outs and medicine, for scanning the back of the eye, or even photographing growing embryos. And lasers are not just for everyday use, Livermore University is using incredibly fast pulsed lasers on deuterium oxide in a droplet of water to try to invoke the holy grail of fusion (back to Monty Python again).
Not many people would argue that the microchip has been one of the best inventions of the last 10 years. But how did researchers In the US persuade what Winston called "one of the least scientifically literate US presidents in history", George W. Bush to give 180 million dollars a year to its development? By announcing it was part of the nuclear weapons programme.
The point is we don't predict where we're going with technology," said Winston. "And we don't predict the downsides either." Microchips with everything, including our mobile phones and credit cards has led to levels of personal tracking that even George Orwell might have had nightmares about. Sometimes research is not even that innovative - Winston showed a map of the spread of vibio cholera across the globe generated recently through painstaking computing which looked remarkably similar to one published nearly 100 years before.
Scientists should also be very careful of overselling their work, asserted Winston. Take the Human Genome Project's much vaunted decoding of the human genome into its base pairs back in 2000. Announced by US President Clinton as an A to Z of human life and by UK Prime Minister Blair as a guide to our humanity, most of the dramatic predictions of what this would mean for human health have so far failed to appear, apart from a few specialist treatments for cancer and rare genetic conditions. "No-one in this room has really benefited from the decoding of the human genome," opined Winston. In his opinion, it was an error of judgement to say that it was a map to the human genome or a guide to humanity–the A to Z of Washington gives us more useful information and Shakespeare's Hamlet tells us more about our humanity. At the moment, we can't produce enough computing power to derive real value from the 20,000 genes identified.
Scientists should beware succumbing to what Winston calls "the Science Delusion" – huge extrapolations of their work. This happened to Winston himself, based on his work extracting the DNA profile of a SNIP from an embryo cell. Loder extrapolated from these results in 1995 in a letter in Nature, claiming in the future it would be possible to plug this data into a supercomputer and model the baby from one cell. "I believed all this for about 6 minutes," said Winston, slightly wistfully. "We are not objective and should be aware of our huge emotional influence on what we see". The future as he views it is not in attempting to predict where science and technology will take us, but in inspiring the next generation to get involved. At Imperial College where he is based, their ReachOut :ab runs a rather gruesome fake operation workshop for kids to try out. "At the end, they either want to be a scientist, or vomit in the corner," said Winston rather wryly.
On this picturesque note, the concluding panel session kicked off to consider "what is the most effective way of supporting and organising research and development at a European level to ensure Europe remains competitive" (and presumably doesn't vomit in the process). The panel included Robert Winston, Steven Newhouse, Olivier Debande, Deputy Economic Advisor at the European Investment Bank, Anna Szatkowska an advisor at the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry and was chaired by Jheni Osman.
The panel called for better and wider collaboration and of course more funding. Scientists are keen to collaborate but worry about losing their intellectual property, especially as there is no European-wide patent law in place, a long time campaign of Digital Commissioner at the EC, Neelie Kroes. Winston returned to the theme of how to get a cadre of scientists equipped to deal with these global projects. "Times of trouble are when innovation is most accelerated," he reminded us."Can Governments do this without the conflict situation – or maybe the current economic crisis is enough to promote innovation?" All agreed that finding funding for unsexy science is tough these days. "E-Infrastructure is one of the unsexiest of unsexy sciences," said Newhouse with feeling. "Sustainable funding is difficult to secure, but essential for the long term persistence of data so that research can be replicated or reopened in future." Organisations such as EGI support the fact that innovation can come from anywhere, and are working to promote collaboration internationally.
With a nod to the similar discussions across town, the panel considered the knotty issue of identifying future European level funding. Newhouse summed up the situation: "There is pressure on science funding, in the UK and in some other countries. However in my experience, some countries don't see the problem. To get integration when the situation is so different in different countries makes it hard to get the European cohesion we need. It is this diversity that is the problem rather than the level of funding itself." And with the European leaders on their way home from Brussels without an agreed budget deal on the table, this could not be more true.


PLANET, the national trade association that represents more than 100,000 landscape industry professionals, reports their win on Capitol Hill.
Although many issues were presented at PLANET's Legislative Day on the Hill it appears that the event was a success. More than 100 PLANET members, representing 26 states helped inform legislators about several lawn care and landscape industry issues, such as seasonal health care, tick-borne diseases, the "Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act" (H.R. 5078); and immigration reform. As a result, some legislators are likely to co-sponsor H.R. 5078, S. 2496, and H.R. 5213.
Also, during a Hill meeting in the office of Georgia Rep. Austin Scott, who chairs the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Horticulture, Research, Biotechnology and Foreign Agriculture which has jurisdiction over pesticide issues, it was revealed that in September he plans to introduce a pollinators House bill that includes the type of science and research PLANET has been advocating for.

Q: 2D array element calculation using Python and without NumPy I have an 2D array to do some calculation for each element, which in this format:
a = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]

My expected results is as follow after calculation:
a_new = [[2, 6, 3], [5, 12, 6], [8, 18, 9]]

I wrote the following codes:
f = 1
g = 2
a_1 = [c +f, (d+f)*g, e for (c, d, e) in array] #I expect this can bring the results to form the format I want.

However, it has the error message:
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

How to amend the code to get the results I wanted? And also I don't want to import and use NumPy for doing calculation.

A: c +f, (d+f)*g, e define a tuple and you have no problem when doing:
my_tuple = c +f, (d+f)*g, e

but in the list comprehension syntax, you need to protect the tuple using parentheses to allow parsing, else python doesn't know when the argument stops:
a_1 = [(c +f, (d+f)*g, e) for (c, d, e) in a]

I get:
[(2, 6, 3), (5, 12, 6), (8, 18, 9)]

Note that your expected input shows lists, so maybe that is more that you want:
a_1 = [[c +f, (d+f)*g, e] for (c, d, e) in a]

A: Square brackets will do the job:
array = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]
f = 1
g = 2
a_1 = [[c +f, (d+f)*g, e] for (c, d, e) in array]

Results in:
a_1
[[2, 6, 3], [5, 12, 6], [8, 18, 9]]

A: if you want your resulting array to be
a_new = [[2, 6, 3], [5, 12, 6], [8, 18, 9]] as stated in your question then you need to protect the inner operation in the list comprehension with square brackets.
a_new = [[c+f,(d+f)*g,e] for (c,d,e) in a]

You were getting an invalid syntax error because you needed to wrap c+f,(d+f)*g,e in square brackets for Python recognize the operation.
Some others have pointed out that you could also use parentheses instead of square brackets. While this won't result in an error, it will also not result in the array that you're looking for.
If you use square brackets you will get a list of lists:
[[2, 6, 3], [5, 12, 6], [8, 18, 9]]

If you use parentheses you will get a list of tuples:
[(2, 6, 3), (5, 12, 6), (8, 18, 9)]

No politician today is capable of this. No notes, no teleprompter- and he quoted Aeschylus.
I'm a firm believer in not second-guessing the past. But when I see this clip, I can't help but wonder, "what if..." And what has happened to the nation that once produced great men like Bobby? It seems the killers have remained, but, for the most part, the Bobbys and Martins are nowhere to be found.
I'm only going to talk to you just for a minute or so this evening, because I have some- some very sad news for all of you- Could you lower those signs, please?- I have some very sad news for all of you, and, I think, sad news for all of our fellow citizens, and people who love peace all over the world; and that is that Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
Martin Luther King dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. He died in the cause of that effort. In this difficult day, in this difficult time for the United States, it's perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. For those of you who are black- considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible- you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge.
We can move in that direction as a country, in greater polarization- black people amongst blacks, and white amongst whites, filled with hatred toward one another. Or we can make an effort, as Martin Luther King did, to understand, and to comprehend, and replace that violence, that stain of bloodshed that has spread across our land, with an effort to understand, compassion, and love.
For those of you who are black and are tempted to fill with- be filled with hatred and mistrust of the injustice of such an act, against all white people, I would only say that I can also feel in my own heart the same kind of feeling. I had a member of my family killed, but he was killed by a white man.
So I ask you tonight to return home, to say a prayer for the family of Martin Luther King- yeah, it's true- but more importantly to say a prayer for our own country, which all of us love- a prayer for understanding and that compassion of which I spoke.
We can do well in this country. We will have difficult times. We've had difficult times in the past, but we- and we will have difficult times in the future. It is not the end of violence; it is not the end of lawlessness; and it's not the end of disorder.


A group of us went to the Kirstie Allsop Handmade Fair at Ragley yesterday. We saw Kirstie (well the back of her!) as we wandered round the Shopping Village. There were lots of wonderful things by talented people and we came away inspired to experiment with craftwork so watch this space ladies. Whilst there, our own talented Jo created a piece of work that was going to join a community piece of work at the Fair.

The Life and Travels of The Ellingers: Thorns Game!
Doug and Tully had split Thorns Season Tickets this year and he couldn't make the game on Saturday so he gave the tickets to Emily and I to enjoy. It was yet another spring rainy weekend so it became the highlight of our weekend. As usual we grabbed some of our favorite pizza before the game. The seats Doug had were pretty close to the field and just under the awning above us but we were lucky to have the rain hold off for the length of the winning game! Thanks Doug!

Is the Mercury in Your Mascara Making You Crazy?
By Erica Schwiegershausen
Photo: Mario Castello/Corbis
Earlier this month, 140 countries signed the United Nations' Minamata Convention, which includes a ban on mercury in cosmetics and soaps. Yet Scientific American reports that the ban makes an exception for mascara and other eye makeup — which, it turns out, often includes mercury as a preservative. According to the treaty, mascara is exempt from neurotoxicant embargo because "no effective, safe substitute alternatives are available." Though this logic is not particularly encouraging, the U.N. claims that the intent of the ban is not to eliminate cosmetics with trace contaminants, but rather products like skin-lightening cream and others that contain larger concentrations of mercury and have been shown to cause kidney damage in women.
The U.S. F.D.A. currently allows mercury in eye cosmetics at a concentration up to 65 parts per million. Joanna Tempowski, a scientist for the World Health Organization's International Program on Chemical Safety told Scientific American that mercury is added to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi that could infect and damage the eye, noting that "the risk-benefit analysis favors the use of these preservatives."
And mascara brands without mercury sometimes use other more harmful preservatives, such as formaldehyde (carcinogenic) or parabens (possibly linked to hormone disruption). So — pick your poison, we guess?

Our winter visitors to the Arctic Riviera (Sax-Zim!) start heading back north to nest. Pine Grosbeaks are the first to leave, usually moving out during the first week. Crossbills follow soon after. Redpolls may linger until mid April. Snow can still be deep in the woods and blizzards and snowstorms are a sure bet (March can be the snowiest month of the winter). The "willow blush" is on! Admire the beautiful reds and yellows of the willow flats as the bark of the different species turn deeper color during March.
Melting snow banks, lakes thawing, spring blizzards, eagles overhead—Good time to go up on a quiet calm night and listen for singing Saw-whet Owls and frogs (Boreal Chorus, Wood, and Spring Peepers). Highlight may be Sharp-tailed Grouse leks where they may be dancing at dawn…sometimes on top of the snow (see Sax-Zim Birding Map for lek locations). Woodcock are active and displaying on calm evenings at dusk. Skunk Cabbage may be pushing up through late-season snow, its fetid odor attracting early-season flies. Beaked Hazel blooms. In mid-month listen for returning Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets, Winter Wrens, Song and White-throated Sparrows. Fox Sparrows and White-crowned Sparrows move through on their way to more northerly breeding sites. Check open water at Stone Lake for migrating ducks—Buffleheads, Goldeneye, Hooded Mergansers, Ring-necked Ducks and returning residents, the pair of Trumpeter Swans that usually nest in the Stone Lake chain of lakes. Porcupines are quite visible at dusk as they feed on aspen and willow catkins up in the trees.
Warblers start showing up in mid May, but late May is best for warbler variety. Look for waves of warblers and then park yourself in one spot and see what comes by. Connecticut Warblers usually on territory by last few days of May (best spots are along Admiral Road near the winter feeders, Owl Avenue south of Welcome Center, McDavitt Road bog sections).
Breeding time! Fantastic birding from half hour before dawn until about 10am. Mid-day siesta or check out Stone Lake for waterbirds. Don't forget the bug dope! See our birding map for the best roads to see summer specialties. Many folks come to Sax-Zim Bog seeking Connecticut Warblers (best spots are along Admiral Road near the winter feeders, Owl Avenue south of Welcome Center, McDavitt Road bog sections). Connecticuts are possible in any large stand of mixed Tamarack-Black Spruce bog. LeConte's Sparrows like meadows of sedge, grass and shrub (check south side of Stone Lake Road, Watsula Road, south end of Admiral Road).
Not as good as June but first half of the month many breeders are still singing. Late month is amazing for butterflies. Drive dirt roads to find congregations of butterflies.
Quiet! Literally…as birds are done singing. Practice identifying "confusing fall warblers." BUT bugs are mostly done and wonderful roadside wildflowers, insects, butterflies, spiders. Nichols Lake Road is great for wildflowers and butterflies.
Congregations of swallows on wires, hawks begin migrating, Northern Harriers hunt meadows. Also aspen, birch, and maple leaves begin turning.
Peak of fall color. Tamaracks golden yellow by mid month to third week. Keep an eye on the sky for large migrating raptors including Red-tails, Rough-legged Hawks and Golden Eagles. During irruption years, the first Great Grays, Northern Hawk Owls begin showing up.
Best to stay away from Sax-Zim Bog during first half of the month. Leave the area to the deer hunters. Let's stay out of their way. Late month is usually the first staying snow of the winter. Northern owls, crossbills, redpolls, shrikes begin showing up.
Buy your plane tickets! THE time to visit the Bog for birding! Stop in at the Welcome Center (10am to 3pm 7-days a week) to get an update on the latest sightings. ALWAYS best to search for Great Grays at dawn and dusk…Don't arrive at 10am and leave at 3pm and expect to see one. Hawk Owls (if around) hunt all day long. During middle of the day, drive the roads shown on our Sax-Zim Birding Map or our Winter Driving Tour, and stop and check all the bird feeders marked on the map. If you want to see the Evening Grosbeaks at Mary Lou's feeders, best to check them before noon as they can be harder to find in the afternoon. Snow Buntings are often seen along CR7 north of CR52. Northern Shrikes can be about anywhere…but always teed up on the tip-top of deciduous trees and on telephone/power lines.

My friend Nikita @nikitaisakov from Kyiv was visiting me last year and we were talking about music and reminiscing about a tour that I had been on in 2008 in Ukraine with my band Sonsofday. The song "People Get Ready" came up and Nikita shared with me that after that tour, his friend translated the song into Ukrainian and they would play it at church. And this is when the idea was born, to record this song in Ukrainian and share this gem with the Ukrainian people. I hope you enjoy it and I hope it blesses you.

Q: Override the user query in Haystack I want the user query in my Django/Haystack app to be sorted in alphabetical order. For example if the user entered "sit" this would be changed to "ist" in the Haystack Search Index.
I believe overriding the default Haystack forms.py will achieve this, but can't get it to work.
#forms.py
from haystack.forms import SearchForm

class WordsSearchForm(SearchForm):

    q_default = forms.CharField(required=False, label=_('Search'),
                            widget=forms.TextInput(attrs={'type': 'search'}))

    q = ''.join(sorted(q_default))

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

A: Customizing Haystack is a bit tricky it turns out. To override the user query you need to create a forms.py file, update views.py, and update urls.py.
#forms.py
from haystack.forms import SearchForm

class WordsSearchForm(SearchForm):

def search(self):
    # added the two lines below
    q = self.cleaned_data['q']
    q = ''.join(sorted(q))

    if not self.is_valid():
        return self.no_query_found()

    if not self.cleaned_data.get('q'):
        return self.no_query_found()

    # default is...
    # sqs = self.searchqueryset.auto_query(self.cleaned_data['q'])
    sqs = self.searchqueryset.auto_query(q)

Russia Working on Reusable Rocket to Compete with Elon Musk's SpaceX
November 18, 2018 November 15, 2018 News 10
Vladimir Koshlakov, head of the Keldysh Research Center, recently revealed details about a project by Energomash and S7 Space to develop a reusable launch vehicle, TASS reports.
"Recently, we had a conference on present-day problems of rocket engine-building. [S7 Space head Sergei] Sopov delivered a speech. He said: we need engines that can be switched on about 100 times," Koshlakov said, adding that the question of how many launches will be optimal remains open.
According to the official, the rocket's "cooldown" period should not exceed 48 hours.
"In other words, a rocket blasts off, then returns and is ready for the next launch with the same engine within 48 hours," he said. "Here are the requirements set by the market."
S7 Space, which purchases the assets of bankrupt Sea Launch, is developing a reusable rocket based on the design of the Soyuz-5 booster that NPO Energia is developing to launch the Russia's new crewed Federatsiya spacecraft.

Managing Edior
Over the past few years, I've been keeping track of Russia's annual launch failures. For reasons I can't quite recall, the table I've used only went back to 2009.
Recently, I saw a graphic on a Russian website about launch failures, and I realized I hadn't gone back far enough. So, I dug into the records of the last 30 years from 1988 through 2017, which covers Russia and the last four years of the Soviet Union.
And holy crap! There were a helluva lot of them. Launch failures are not a bug in the system, they're a feature.

It seems you can't keep a mediocre rocket down.
Sea Launch is coming back. After weathering a bankruptcy and a period of involuntary hibernation, new owners are bringing the troubled launch provider back to life for the third time.
"Work is underway to end the conservation of the complex and to restore launch activities with the use of Zenit carrier rockets in the current configuration until 2023," S7 told Sputnik International.
Since making its first launch in 1999, Sea Launch has compiled a record of 32 successes, 3 failures and 1 partial failure. The company's most recent flight was conducted on May 26, 2014.

Speaking a day after SpaceX successfully re-flew a previously used Falcon 9 first stage, Russian space officials sought to reassure the public about the nation's lagging launch rate and outlined plans to increase revenues from the International Space Station (ISS).
On Friday, Roscosmos head Igor Komarov said Russia was aiming for more than two dozen launches this year.
"We will conduct at least 30 launches from the Baikonur, Plesetsk, Vostochny and Kourou space centers this year," Komarov said at a meeting of the Expert Council of Russia's Military-Industrial Committee.
With one quarter of the year completed, Russia has conducted two launches.

Russia Says Buyer Found for Sea Launch
March 31, 2016 News 0
It looks as if Russia has found someone to take Sea Launch off its hands.
Russia's space agency Roscosmos has found a buyer for a troubled commercial space project known as Sea Launch, the agency's director Igor Komarov was cited by the TASS news agency as saying on Wednesday.
"I cannot tell you who the investor is, or the value of the contract, due to certain obligations. I hope that we will have something to say about it by the end of April," Komarov said. He did, however, say that investors from the U.S., Australia, China and Europe have expressed interest in the project.
The troubled company, which uses a floating platform to launch communications satellite aboard Zenit boosters from the equator, has been on the market for several years. It is majority owned by RSC Energia.
Sea Launch's last launch was in May 2014. The company has been troubled by launch failures and an inability to secure a significant percentage of the global launch market.

Q: How redirect login.html to chat.html page after successful logged in Django framework? I have used template/login.html for logging in, after successful logged in how to redirect the login.html page to chatwindow.html page (some other html) in Django framework.
So, do I need to redirect it from views.py file or from login.html?
Any help highly appreciated.

A: Django implements multiple ways to do this:
1. LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL
This is a global setting in your settings.py. It works for all login pages when next= parameter is not specified in login url (e.g. example.com/login?next=/foo).
2. Use next parameter in the login URL
This is usually used to customize the login redirect for individual cases.
The common use-case is when you use @login_required decorator. When a user tries to access a page which requires authentication, a user is then redirected to a login page with a next= parameter pointing to the current page. For example if the user went to /secure/page, then the login page will be something like /login?next=/secure/page. After the user will successfully authenticate, Django will redirect them back to the protected page.
3. Use the hidden input next on the login page
Finally you can set the redirect path in the login form itself:
<form method="POST" ...>
    <input typy="hidden" name="next" value="/secure/page">
    ...
</form>

I would guess that first method might be the most appropriate in your case however keep in mind the other options if you will need them.

Advances the SADataReader to the next result, when reading the results of batch SQL statements.
Gets a value that indicates whether the SADataReader contains one or more rows.
You can only move forward through an SADataReader. If you need a more flexible object to manipulate results, use an SADataAdapter.
The SADataReader retrieves rows as needed, whereas the SADataAdapter must retrieve all rows of a result set before you can carry out any action on the object. For large result sets, this difference gives the SADataReader a much faster response time.

Lots of material discussed here. The tutorial was well received and, for me, I enjoyed/understood the way Matt described the course concepts. Also, tons of examples were provided and Matt was more than willing to answer attendees questions.
Happy to say about 70 percent of this clicked for me. The other 30 percent featured obscure descriptions coupled with code examples that were too abstract. Might have been better if the talk focused on a single "real world" project that used each of the examples. That said, I found the session very useful.
Very comprehensive talk to get an understanding of OOP and specifically OOP in php. It may have been a little difficult for folks that had no previous exposure to some of the OOP concepts. More work on some clearer example code would most likely help.
A great talk. I found the first half to be a great review, and the second half to be a good introduction to some more advanced topics. Overall I learned a lot.
As someone who worked in a another programming language (Java), it is a nice introduction to how object oriented programming can be used in PHP. It was a great presentation with a lot of great stuff that I can use to apply in my current role.

Shippers blame union for latest port slowdown
By Sara Gaiser and Jamey Padojino :: Bay City News March 11, 2015
A group representing shipping companies Wednesday blamed the shutdown of a terminal at the Port of Oakland on work stoppages by union members conducted despite a tentative contract agreement reached last month that was intended to resolve months of labor disputes.
The port's international container terminal stopped its yard and gate operations sometime during the lunch hour, Port of Oakland spokeswoman Marilyn Sandifur confirmed today. The port's other four terminals operated normally, she said.
The Pacific Maritime Association this evening said the shut down was due to actions by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 10, which shippers say has objected to staffing levels on yard cranes and the use of longshore utility workers to lock and unlock connecting devices.
Both of these issues were raised during contract talks but later dropped by the union, according to the PMA. Union officials have not returned calls requesting comment Wednesday evening.
The Port of Oakland was one of 29 West Coast ports affected by prolonged labor contract negotiations between the union and shippers. The stalled talks left workers without a contract after July 1, 2014 and triggered multiple shutdowns at the Port of Oakland, resulting in a backlog of cargo and ships waiting to be unloaded at ports up and down the West Coast.
Key issues in the talks included the method for selecting arbitrators. A tentative five-year contract agreement was reached on Feb. 20 following the intervention of a federal mediator and U.S. Labor Secretary Thomas Perez. However, that contract has yet to be approved by union members.
This is not the first time the PMA has made allegations of an illegal work stoppage by the union since the tentative agreement was reached. On Feb. 22 the association said in a statement that an arbitrator had found the union had conducted an illegal work stoppage that day, causing port operations to be shut down.
The association "will continue to address any future work stoppages by Local 10 through the grievance and arbitration process, and, if necessary, in court," the statement said. At the peak of the slowdown in mid-February there were 20 ships waiting at the Port of Oakland, officials said.
While the port is still experiencing cargo backup stemming from the contract dispute earlier this year, today there were only four ships waiting to berth, according to Sandifur.

Trial grant cap revoked. The US's $30bn-a-year biomed research funder flirted with boosting early career research by capping the number of grants held by established labs, but the move has been abandoned for a Next Generation Researchers Initiative with no new funding.
A new era in the UK. Part of the UK's response to the implications of Brexit is a consolidated funding agency, UK Research & Innovation, and a £100m (US$128m) fund to attract international researchers.
Keeping research "pure and holy". Does academia need to be more 'self-consciously ethical', and would a Hippocratic-like oath help uphold better, more moral practices in research?

Rules for reviewing. The Committee on Publication Ethics has produced new guidelines on the peer review process, covering different models of review, reviewer responsibilities and best practice.
Academic health toll. A report for the Royal Society and Wellcome Trust says there is too little evidence for clear conclusions about the mental health status and needs of researchers, but sees a need for a standard model for assessing stress, and for further study, singling out postdocs for attention.

Who is the man in the picture below?
Henry Dumas (July 20, 1934 – May 23, 1968) was an African-American writer and poet. He has been called "an absolute genius" by Toni Morrison, who as a commissioning editor at Random House published posthumous collections both of his poetry, "Play Ebony, Play Ivory", and his series of short stories, "Ark of Bones", in 1974.
Dumas was born in Sweet Home, Arkansas, in 1934 and lived there until the age of ten, when he moved to New York City. In Harlem, he attended public school and graduated from Commerce High School in 1953.
After graduating, he attended City College of New York, before joining the Air Force. He was stationed at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, Texas.
On May 23, 1968, at approximately 12:15 a.m., Dumas was shot to death at the age of 33 by a New York City Transit Police officer on the southbound platform of the 125th Street/Lenox Avenue station of the New York City Subway. The officer claimed that Dumas had been threatening another man with a knife. The officer said that he ordered Dumas to drop the knife, but that Dumas instead turned, attacked the officer, and slashed the officer's cheek. The officer stated that he fired three times. Dumas's death is often called "a case of mistaken identity".
Dumas was buried in Long Island National Cemetery in Suffolk County, New York. His death is mentioned in the poem "An Alphabet of My Dead," by Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, as well as the poem "Night, for Henry Dumas" by Aracelis Girmay.

Joe Klare discusses legalization in Minnesota with Minnesotans for Responsible Marijuana Regulation, a plan to cut cannabis taxes in California and a family suing police in Georgia over an inmate's death.
I still say retarded when I mean slow, because that's the actual meaning. You are supposed to "retard engine timing", and burdensome laws have def retarded the legal MJ industry. I exonerate you.
CHEERS!! Hopefully, this will happen with more States eventually, and possibly on a federal level. We Review marijuana and LEGAL CANNABIS products in Washington State. Check us out! CHEERS!!
Could you give us a weekly update (like once a week) on federal legalization of that's stats please!

Category: Bosnia
Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
Since reading Zlata's Diary in grade school, the idea of visiting Sarajevo had been tucked in the back corner of my mind. In October, we finally made our way there, bussing from Novi Sad, Serbia. Bosnia's landscape stunned us right from the border. Crossing the Drina River put us squarely into the Dinaric Alps and our route followed a winding highway through the mountains that passed by small farms with herds of sheep grazing next to the road.
Sarajevo sits at the base of Trebević Mountain, and is ringed by hills. From our bus, our first glimpses of the city were of dozens of white minarets rising from among the hillside houses. The city looked quiet and peaceful, nestled in its valley. Our hosts met us at the station and saved us a steep walk to our stay. The Airbnb was spacious, but our favorite part was the view over the bright LED screens populating the sides of the new malls and office towers.
Miljacka at sunset, and the city at night
From April 1992 until February 1996, the longest siege in modern history demolished Sarajevo and took the lives of more than 11,000 citizens and defenders, including more than 1,500 children. It was impossible to walk through the city and not see evidence of the bombs. Houses in our neighborhood were still in ruins, even 20 years later. Facades on older buildings often still bear missing pieces of concrete from shrapnel sprays.
Sidewalk dents filled with red resin mark sites where bombs rained down death. They are disturbingly common. In Veliki Park, a memorial to the hundreds of children killed in the siege lists too many names to count. The War Childhood Museum attempts to tackle the individual stories using a single object from a child's life along with a (often) heartbreaking memory. We tried and failed to imagine how difficult life must have been during those years.
Reminders of the Bosnian War
The Old Jewish Cemetery near our apartment had been used as a Serbian artillery position during the siege. Many gravestones still bear bullet and shrapnel scars; the landmines were thankfully removed after the war. Even the History Museum's facade has shrapnel wounds and it only features war-related items.
The Old Jewish Cemetery and the Historical Museum of BiH
Above the city, relics from the 1984 Winter Olympics lay abandoned and damaged in the woods. The most famous of these is the bobsled and luge track. Though local groups are attempting to revive the track as a sporting venue, it is still mostly utilized as a massive graffiti wall.
The abandoned bobsled track from the 1984 Olympics
A far cry from its Olympic glory, the concrete track is now overgrown by trees and mosses. The bright paint provides a stark contrast to the rest of the structure.
Some especially appropriate graffiti
We walked the entire length of the track. The buildings at the finish line have trees growing up between what were shower stalls. Nearby homes were similar concrete shells, missing roof and windows alike. To return to the city, we hiked downhill on a narrow rocky track that ended in the back of a steep-streeted neighborhood.
We heard rumors of Sarajevo's tasty cuisine in Novi Sad, and the compliments were completely deserved. The crowning meal is cevapi, skinless sausages stuffed into a pita bun and topped with onion. Locals eschew adding sauces to this mix, though I preferred them with pavlaka (a heavy cream). Peanut crips that were a favorite in Croatia last year were outshone by Snacky Flips, a Bosnian brand that looked like onion rings and tasted light and crunchy.
Local wine and beer, peanut crisps, the famous cevapi
Like its neighboring counties, Bosnia produces quite a bit of local wine. Our two most-purchased varieties were plavac mali and vranac. Bargain brands often have liter bottles for the same price as .75 liters (if you don't mind thinner glass), and turned out to be the best choice. As in other Balkan countries, good craft beer takes a little work to find, but The Brew Pub had some tasty beers. Our favorite was Furka, their Amber Ale.
Sarajevo has come a long way from the end of the war, as the photographs in the museums attest, but memories from the conflict still permeate daily life. The Dayton Peace Accords ended the fighting but made the country difficult to govern. Local politicians are divided along ethnic lines and often refuse to cooperate, making further recovery an impossible task. Everyone we met carries hopes for a better and less bitter future, and we harbor the same wish.

If you have found a charity that aligns with your passions, beliefs or values, consider establishing a Charitable Trust. There are two particular charitable trusts I will cover, one is a Charitable Remainder Trust and second, a Charitable Lead Trust.
In 2016, the LSB Foundation made grants, gifts and contributions in excess of $164,000.00. Since our inception in 2005 we have given a total of $2.763 Million to groups and organizations in the markets we serve.
Did you know there is a new tax deduction for home owners that pay mortgage insurance?
From its inception in 2005 through the end of the fiscal year in 2014, the LSB Foundation contributed a total of $2,314,187.00 to various organizations, individuals and community endeavors. In 2015, an additional $86,048 was contributed, bringing the total to over $2.4 million.
Banks, as the cornerstone of a lot of communities, are often asked for donations, gifts and sponsorships in the communities they serve. In order for LSB to better represent our desire to "give back" or "pay it forward," the LSB Foundation was born on March 2, 2005.
Every day in the United States someone's finances are being exploited by someone they thought they could trust. This problem is not going away, and the elderly are the biggest target. If you have loved ones that you feel may be vulnerable, it's important to know what it is and the signs to look for to prevent abuse.
Abuse is ugly in any form. But elder abuse often goes unrecognized and unreported because of the shame victims feel, their fear of losing independence, and their fear of retaliation. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones against elder abuse and financial exploitation.
When a loved one faces mental health issues or aging illnesses, who makes decisions on their behalf? The GAIN Tough Decisions event will help you understand the role of a substitute decision-maker and help you understand mental illness and the challenges related to caring for those individuals. Sign up today!
We've discussed the basics of Trusts and how they are commonly used to distribute assets to loved ones. But is a Trust right for you?
For most people, the ultimate goal of their estate plan is to pass assets along to their loved ones. One of the most common and versatile ways to accomplish this goal is through the creation of a trust.
Learn that life doesn't end when dementia begins in this free Cedar Valley event where guests will view the "I'll Be Me" documentary about beloved country star Glen Campbell. Unfortunately, many of our loved ones will face dementia in their lifetime, but with proper planning and care it doesn't have to be the end.
Who Will Protect Your Estate?
Have you thought about who will protect your estate when you are no longer living? In this post you will find some helpful tips on how to find the right way for you to protect your estate.
When is an IRA not a retirement plan? It's a trick question.
In 2000 Ruth Heffron established a traditional IRA, probably by rolling over a lump sum distribution from her employer's retirement plan. At her death the next year, the IRA was worth $450,000. Heidi Heffron-Clark, Ruth's daughter, was the sole beneficiary of the account. She began taking monthly distributions from it.
One strategy for keeping your home in the family on a tax-preferred basis is the Qualified Personal Residence Trust, or QPRT. One can think of a QPRT as a major gift scheduled for a future date.

Q: asp.net: How can I remove an item from a dropdownlist? I have a dropdownlist, and in some cases need to remove an item (in the code-behind).  I need to remove the item based on the value of the item.
How can I do this?

A: myDropDown.Items.Remove(myDropDown.Items.FindByText("TextToFind"))

A: You can use the
myDropDown.Items.Remove(ListItem li);

or
myDropDown.Items.RemoveAt(int index);

to remove it using C#.

A: You can use this:
myDropDown.Items.Remove(myDropDown.Items.FindByValue("TextToFind"));

A: There is also a slightly simpler way of removing the value.
mydropdownid.Items.Remove("Chicago");
<dropdown id=mydropdown .....>

values

*

*Florida

*Texas

*Utah

*Chicago

A: Code:
ListItem removeItem= myDropDown.Items.FindByValue("TextToFind");
drpCategory.Items.Remove(removeItem);

Replace "TextToFind" with the item you want to remove.

A: As other people have answered, you need to do;
myDropDown.Items.Remove(ListItem li);

but if you want the page to refresh asynchronously, the dropdown needs to be inside an asp:UpdatePanel
after you do the Remove call, you need to call:
yourPanel.Update();

A: myDropDown.Items.Remove(myDropDown.Items.FindByText("Chicago"));

A: I have Done Like this, i have remove all items except the value coming as 1 and 3.
ListItemCollection liCol = ddlcustomertype.Items;
for (int i = 0; i < liCol.Count;i++ )
{
    ListItem li = liCol[i];
    if (li.Value != "1" || li.Value != "3")
        ddlcustomertype.Items.Remove(li);
}

A: Try this code.
If you can add any item and set value in dropdown then try it.
 dropdown1.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("---All---", "0"));

You can Removed Item in dropdown then try it.
 ListItem removeItem = dropdown1.Items.FindByText("--Please Select--");
 dropdown1.Items.Remove(removeItem);

A: I would add an identifying Id or class to the dropbox and remove using Javascript.
The article here should help.
D

A: to insert into DropDownList:
DropDownList.Items.Insert(0, new ListItem("-- Select item --", "0"));

and to remove item from DropDownList:
DropDownList.Items.Remove(new ListItem("-- Select item --", "0"));


The relocation of Marriott's headquarters to downtown Bethesda would bring new riders and revenue to Metro, without straining Metro's capacity. A win-win!
Marriott last month announced it will move its headquarters to downtown Bethesda, bringing over 3,500 employees to a location that's now accessible to the Red Line. The move will help Metro by attracting more riders and fare revenue to the Red Line. Using our S.W.A.R.M. model, we estimate that the new headquarters will bring about 1,200 new boardings/day on Metrorail, and over $1 million per year in new fare revenue.
What's more, we've already got space for these new riders. Since most of the new riders would be reverse-commuters (towards Bethesda in the morning) or would originate in Montgomery County, they would not strain existing crowding on-board trains at our pinch points, a.k.a. our maximum load points. Bethesda station has sufficient vertical circulation capacity for them as well. In short, this move is a win-win for Metro, the riders, and our funding partners, and we applaud the decision.
In this guest post, Mr. Christiaan Blake, Director, WMATA Office of ADA Policy and Planning describes a new cost-cutting partnership called Abilities-Ride.
On September 30, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) issued a request for proposals (RFP) for its new Abilities-Ride program. Abilities-Ride is designed to provide MetroAccess–eligible customers with access to a general trip purpose alternative in the Prince George's and Montgomery County sections of the MetroAccess service area. Depending on the results of the program, Abilities-Ride could be expanded to cover the entirety of the MetroAccess service area. Abilities-Ride will not be a Metro service, but instead a public-private partnership between Metro and one or more vendors that provide existing or soon-to-be established generally available on-demand service. Metro will subsidize up to $15 per eligible customer trip.
Surges 3 and 4 saw the highest shuttle bus ridership of SafeTrack so far. Overall, Metrobus shuttles moved around 17,000 trips per day during Surge 3, and around 25,000 trips per day during Surge 4.
With shuttles every 2.5 minutes and Metroway running every 6 minutes, there were about 35 buses per hour during peak periods on Route 1. Taken together, the two services moved about 31,000 passengers per day during Surge 4. As a comparison, that stretch of road serves about 41,000 cars per day.
A small portion of shuttle bus ridership was on the Franconia to Pentagon shuttle, with the remainder on shuttles between Pentagon City, Braddock Road, Crystal City, and National Airport. The sheer volume of ridership on the shuttle buses made the shuttle operation Metro's busiest bus line, albeit temporarily. At 25,000 trips per day, the shuttles moved more riders than we typically move on any other major bus route, including some of the busiest like 16th Street NW, or the various 30's buses.
Not all rail customers chose to use the shuttles.
Some riders, especially those traveling locally, switched to other bus routes. Ridership on the Metroway premium bus service more than doubled compared to June, and during Surge 4, it nearly tripled compared to the same period last year! Ridership on the 10A was up 29-64%, and 11Y ridership was up 128-133%, or more than double. Metrobus added service on all of these alternative lines, and Metroway did not charge fares during the Surges. We will be monitoring future ridership to see if any customers decide to remain with Metroway after the surges end.
Overall bus ridership on other lines in the Surge area was up 1%.
These first SafeTrack surges highlight one of bus' key attributes as a mode: flexibility.
The planning and scheduling team has worked out which routes the buses should take, which bus bays they should use at the stations, what time the buses need to leave the garages, and more.
Our customer facilities team has ensured there were signs up at all the stops and stations pointing the way to bus service.
The bus maintenance team has kept all the buses for SafeTrack up and running.
The street operations staff have answered passengers' questions and worked with the Bus Operations Communications Center and the bus operators to make sure everything ran smoothly.
Bus operators have learned new routes in a very short amount of time and safely taken tens of thousands of passengers where they needed to go.
Usually, Metrobus makes service changes only about once a quarter, since passengers count on the consistency and reliability of our service. But when it's needed, bus service can be very nimble, allowing it to support the important maintenance work being done during SafeTrack.
Did you ride Metroway or the shuttles during Surge 3 or 4? What did you think? What other opportunities are there to capitalize on the flexibility of bus service?
If you are great with data and love cities and transit, we have a job for you.
We were excited to announce that a job listing for a Business Intelligence Analyst position within Planning's Applied Planning Intelligence unit has just been posted. We are looking for a healthy overlap between a data scientist and a transit nerd. For the full job description, head over to the wmata.com/careers site, scroll down and click on View all jobs. A short description is posted below.
The shuttle buses at Eastern Market during Surge 2 are arriving every two minutes at rush hour, and are moving nearly the same number of people as 3 lanes of Pennsylvania Avenue SE. This shows how much we can achieve by giving buses priority – lanes, signal priority, and more – on busy streets.
Shuttle buses are delivering 1,800 people per hour to Eastern Market between 8:00 and 9:00am. This is about the same as the number of vehicles that 3 lanes of Pennsylvania Ave. SE typically moves (1,500-2,000 vehicles per hour per direction, according to TPB Regional Transportation Data Clearinghouse).
On Sunday, June 26, service changes will take effect on Metrobus routes across the region.
These adjustments aim to improve system reliability, route simplicity, and customer service. The bulk of this service change impacts bus routes in Virginia. Check below to see if your routes will be affected and look up upcoming timetables here.
Now that Metrorail closes at midnight on weekends, what buses are available? New regional bus maps can help you find alternatives to Metrorail after midnight.
Since the launch of the SafeTrack program, rush-hour alternatives have been a hot topic across the region, especially for commuters impacted by the rail surges. However, it's also important to address navigation strategies for people impacted by Metrorail's earlier weekend closing time — midnight rather than 3:00 A.M. on Friday and Saturday nights (technically early Saturday and Sunday mornings). While nightlife patrons are part of the mix, most of our late-night rail customers are traveling to or from work. Since teleworking may not always be an option for these commuters, night owls should be aware of the bus options available after midnight.
We've assembled bus service availability, by hour, on weekends from Metrobus and our regional partners, and put the data on maps!
To see individual route labels, click on a map to expand.
Detailed timetable information is available from Metrobus, Fairfax Connector, Ride On, ART, and DC Circulator. Some bus service differs slightly between the two weekend days; you can plan a specific trip in Metro's Trip Planner.
Note: Metrobus map data is based on information from the Late Night Service Study published in April 2016 and may not reflect recent service changes on certain bus routes. We will follow up next week with any updates.
Updated 7/6/2016: Map graphics have been revised to reflect current service patterns.
Biking near Buses: Watch Out for Blind Spots!
Bus operators are trained to look for cyclists, but they can't see you if you're in their blind spot. Come see a bus's blind spots for yourself at Fort Totten!
Unless you've driven a bus (or large truck) yourself, it can be hard to get a feel for where the blind spots are in real life. This Bike to Work Day (May 20th), come see for yourself what bus operators can — and, more importantly, can't — see on the road. Metro's Fort Totten pit-stop will feature a live Metrobus demonstration with experienced Metrobus instructors. Hop in the driver's seat (and who doesn't want to experience that air cushioning!), check the mirrors, and you'll know where it's safe to ride. While you're there, brush up on your skills securing your bike on the bus' bike rack.
When buses and bikes share space on the road, visibility is the key to safety. Metrobus operators receive regular training on safety around bicyclists, but they need your help as well.
