A lot of that stuff isn't new (i.e.the web based call and ride reservation system already exists), although while the rationale for the service cuts might be, I only took it as that there were $1.2 million in cuts to offset $1.7 million in new expenses. I really doubt that Milwaukee Pulse is the cause, because it is offset by cutting 270 to once an hour and cutting off Allstate, probably is CMAQ money,anyway, and it should run more efficiently than the existing 270.
Most of the studies (certainly the Joliet Express one) were undefined.
95th up next leaves Cermak and Halsted for the last of the near term projects.
TSP corridors line up with the most-used routes, so I guess that was to be expected.
For Burr Ridge, is it actually going to be a completely new one or just an expansion? The pdf doesn't specify.
The Joliet Express Bus study will be interesting. I feel with all the current service, both Metra and Pace, anything new that doesn't also come with a park & ride would be duplicative, but I'm happy to be wrong.
Not necessarily. If downtown Chicago commuters were the only intended market, I would agree with this, but we don't know any particulars of what will be studied yet. They could, for example, create an express route from Joliet to west suburban office centers (although a few previous attempts failed). There is also potential for reverse commute buses to the Joliet area, similar to 361 or 754.
I also noticed that $600,000 is allocated for an "Orland Square Mall Passenger Facility", probably planned to be something like the CTA terminal at Ford City.
I forgot to mention that as well. It seems fairly unnecessary for what is essentially 3 infrequent routes with 30 & 60 min headways, even during rush and the mall serving as a shelter. Would the Joliet express serve in a capacity similar to 877/888/895 manner?
All the above comments appear correct. On the undefined Joliet Express, the new Joliet TC (apparently finally got state funding) would be adjacent to Joliet Union Station, and Pace is not going to compete with the Metra RID. The South Cook-Will restructuring had proposals for extending 357 to Joliet, and a Weber Rd. flex route to Naperville, but nothing came of that. Maybe time to subsidize consultants again.
The Orland Square TC is probably similar to Golf Mill, as 364, 379, 832, and the On Demand all terminate there.
Note this does not correlate with model years in VIN's, though that can be explained by meaning "year paid for" not "year built"?
Ever notice I mentioned it here?
So can you explain the three extra 17500's? Have three never been accepted? All 71 are in the early 2018 fleet inventory.
I never claimed that, in essence I said it couldin't be explained.
You're acting like you were the first.
1. If coordinated with 511/512 (or similar potential future routes), it could be used to bring workers to Joliet. Otherwise I can't imagine this route getting many riders.
2. Coordination with Amtrak seems to be the key to this route. They seem to be thinking people will fly to O'Hare, take the bus to Joliet, then take the train downstate. There's also potential for rush hour riders, similar to 895's Chicago Ridge to Rosemont segment.
3. 655 (from Bolingbrook) failed, so this is dubious, but maybe Amtrak transfers could justify it.
4. 837, which ran from 1998 to 2000, failed. I'm not sure what has changed since then. Since it would serve an office corridor, Amtrak probably wouldn't help this route much.
5. My favorite route might be coming back, sort of. I guess this would have a similar rationale as #2.
I assume you are referring to #4 of my post, to which I was thinking more about what companies were on the Naperville end. It's true there has been residential growth in Will County, but most of it isn't in the areas where people might ride a bus from downtown Joliet. Assuming the potential passengers are driving to work currently, they would likely find it more convenient to continue doing so than to take a detour and wait for a bus. Some riders might transfer from local routes, but as those routes mostly serve the older parts of town, I wouldn't expect ridership to be much more than it was 20 years ago.
As I recall, 837 did not stop downtown, but at the Park-n-Ride at I-55 and US 30. That might be a better location for attracting drivers, but there's no local transfer opportunity to local routes unless you walk to the mall.
*As evidenced that the last restructuring in Joliet was a cutback, except for Elwood buses subsidized by employers.
**Joliet only gets you to the St. Louis route, while getting to Chicago Union Station gets you to any Amtrak route. And is somebody going to go from air to rail?
The thinking is probably that a passenger would fly to Chicago either because it happens to be cheaper or a direct flight to St. Louis wasn't available. I don't know if Amtrak has done any research to show if people are already using it for this purpose, but it seems unlikely that many are. Amtrak doesn't stop directly at the airport which means most people would prefer a connecting flight instead. Those that choose Amtrak would have to ride the Blue Line from O'Hare to Rosemont to catch the Joliet bus. If you're going to do that, you may as well stay on the Blue Line to get to Union Station, which is already an option. So I agree the proposed route seems unnecessary for this purpose.
1. Blue Line to LaSalle then Metra Rock Island to Joliet.
2. Blue Line to Clinton, then Metra HC to Joliet.
3. From O'Hare, Peoria Charter to Mall in Joliet.
Believe it or not, there are people the fly to Chicago and then ride Amtrak to their final destination. Some are tourists who come from the East Coast or Europe and ride the train to California. Other destinations are Carbondale, Bloomington, St Joseph, MI. Holland, MI., Springfield, Quincy.
I don't think Amtrak would have much to gain by serving the airport. Logistically it won't happen thanks to CN. CP is too far from the airport.
Other destinations are Carbondale, Bloomington, St Joseph, MI. Holland, MI., Springfield, Quincy.
Only ones on that line are Bloomington and Springfield. Bus to Joliet is not going to get anyone to Carbondale (or Champaign).
Only ones on that line are Bloomington and Springfield. Bus to Joliet is not going to get anyone to Carbondale (or Champaign). No one is going to go from O'Hare to Joliet to get a train to Bloomington, Springfield, or St Louis. Transportation to Joliet is too infrequent and not cost effective to warrant connecting there as opposed to Union Station.
I agree. I was only noting where people were going from O'Hare which means they all have to go to Union Station.
That's what I figured. My point was, those taking Amtrak south from Joliet have to get on the Blue line to leave O'Hare. Given that constraint, would they see any advantage in transferring to a bus at Rosemont when they could stay on to Clinton (Union Station)?
A trip from O'Hare to Springfield would cost $26.00 via Union Station and $21.30 via Pace to Joliet. But most people will have to wait few hours for the train, so they'd probably opt for Union Station despite the extra $4.70.
2) Joliet - Yorktown and/or Oakbrook - Rosemont?
5) Joliet - Bolingbrook/Old Chicago - Midway?
These seem like the ones with the least amount of risk to start, although I don't know if their is a market for any of these services. There's also the issue of parking at B/OC, if they get a midway service, but this is just speculation.
Seems like a waste of money. But thinking about it, there could be a small market for Bolingbrook to Midway service, or even Joluet- Bolingbrook-Midway service, but not for Amtrak.
What if Pace made a route from the Downers Grove-Main Street Metra to Midway Airport via Main St, Ogden Ave, Pershing Road, and Cicero Ave? I feel like many people would benefit from this since it will connect businesses and residences along Ogden Ave and it will give residents of Berwyn and Stickney a closer East-West route to connect to other major streets easier such as Harlem or Cicero. It would also provide direct access to and from the Midway Orange Line.


THE spectacle of 179 teams from 27 countries - as well as around 5,000 fans, supporters and officials - packing into the C.ex Coffs International Stadium for the 2018 Tag World Cup underlined once again the importance of the venue as an event magnet and economic powerhouse for the entire Coffs Coast region.
It was the first time that Coffs Harbour has hosted the Tag World Cup, but the organisers made it clear that choosing the stadium as the host venue for this international event was a no-brainer following its success as the home of many major national and state Oztag tournaments over the years.
It's estimated that the World Cup alone injected $4.5million into the local economy.
When added together with the other four annual Oztag events, we can confidently say that this one sporting code brings around $20m to the Coffs Coast every year - thanks to the stadium.
That's one of the reasons why the recent news that we have been successful in securing a $10m NSW Government grant to develop a Regional Sports Hub centred around the stadium and incorporating the nearby sports, education and health campuses is so significant.
As well as building on the opportunities for local emerging talent, as well as elite athletes, the Hub will help grow the local economy through the hosting of more and larger events. Economic modelling suggests that the initial stage of the project will create nearly 70 jobs during construction and a further nine jobs into the future.
As many of you will be aware, work is well under way on Stage One of the Regional Sports Hub - the current joint Council and Australian Government-funded upgrade of C.ex Coffs International Stadium.
Stage Two includes three new fields (two synthetic and one grass) at the Coffs Coast Sport and Leisure Park, with subsurface drainage and Australian Standard lighting, a new amenity block and extension including new change and officiating rooms, storage and canteen, new car park and access road for the new fields and much-needed major event parking.
There will also be pedestrian and cycle links connections between the sports, education and health campuses.
A key component of the stadium's success as a popular venue has been the long-term support of the local Coffs Harbour business sector so it's also great to see that the C.ex Group is to continue as the naming rights sponsor of C.ex Coffs International Stadium.
It's a name that is going to get a lot more international and national attention in the coming years.


What Does Timeline Mean On Facebook: Facebook Timeline is a social media feature presented by Facebook in September 2011 as well as rolled out to all users in February 2012. Timeline integrates a customer's Facebook Wall surface and Account right into one web page, developing a more aesthetically all natural account. It includes reverse-chronological information, by year, of a user's Facebook background with vital life factors, consisting of birthday celebrations, weddings and other major events.
Timeline rearranges all saved individual details for display screen, as opposed to historical. In previous Facebook versions, it was harder or difficult to check out out-of-date occasions, pictures and also comments.
Originally, Timeline was optional, but in February 2012, Facebook began turning out the change to all individuals. Similar to all Facebook modifications, Timeline raised customer privacy issues, yet Facebook declares the Timeline implementation does not influence personal privacy setups which users keep control over that sees their updates, photos and also other access.
Timeline also includes integration with Timeline Application, which enables Facebook individuals to publish activities on various other apps. For instance, a Pinterest user could provide Facebook consent to post his or her Pinterest tasks to the Facebook information feed, permitting friends to view Pinterest updates.

Justice League Darkseid Actor Teases Darkseid Voice in Support of Snyder Cut
by Stephen M. Colbert
Justice League's cut Darkseid actor Ray Porter gives us a taste of his villainous voice in a new clip supporting the Snyder Cut. Zack Snyder originally hired Ray Porter to play the Lord of Apokolips in his version of Justice League before he had to leave the project in the wake of a family tragedy and Warner Bros. brought in Joss Whedon to drastically reshape Snyder's original vision for the movie, including the removal of Darkseid, and Ray Porter, entirely.
In the months since the release of Justice League, it's become clear that the Snyder Cut exists in a mostly complete capacity and it was drastically different than Whedon's theatrical cut. Zack Snyder's version of Justice League is 3 1/2 hours long, which means, when accounting for Joss Whedon's reshoots in the theatrical cut, there's as much as at least two hours (as much as the total runtime of the theatrical cut) of brand new Zack Snyder footage featuring additional characters, reshaped character arcs, different story beats, and more.
RELATED: Justice League: Every Confirmed Change to Zack Snyder's Version
The campaign to release the Snyder Cut has persisted, gaining steam as more reveals are made, and now they're taking a massive advertising campaign to San Diego Comic-Con in July. A Go FundMe campaign has already raised over $23,000, of which at least $11,500 will go to the Association For Suicide Prevention (as they have with several other fundraisers) in honor of Snyder's daughter, Autumn, who died by Suicide during Justice League's production.
Now, Porter has lent his voice to the Snyder Cut campaign in a short video, teasing what could be his Darkseid voice (although, as he points out on Twitter, minus any effects, reverb, or EQ) and promoting Snyder Cut's Project Comic-Con. In the short clip, included in a much longer Snyder Cut video posted by one of the campaign organizers, Will Rowlands, Porter simply says "Project Comic-Con" before leaning into his Darkseid voice to say "release the-" at which point he coughs and finishes in his normal voice "sorry, release the Snyder Cut."
Justice League's cut Darkseid actor @Ray__Porter teases his Darkseid voice in new #ReleaseTheSnyderCut Comic-Con campaign video.

— Screen Rant (@screenrant) June 19, 2019
Porter, who will be attending Comic-Con with the Snyder Cut's Project Comic-Con team told Screen Rant on several occasions that he has no intention of violating his NDA, although we have previously confirmed with sources close to Justice League's production that he did complete motion capture, face capture, and ADR for the role of Darkseid.
RELATED: Darkseid's Arc in Zack Snyder's Justice League Was WAY Bigger Than We Thought
Cyborg actor Ray Fisher has also gone on the record recently to affirm that he would release the Snyder Cut himself if he had the power, joining Jason Momoa and some other members of the film's cast such as Snyder's go-to storyboard artist, Jay Oliva, in supporting the call for the Snyder Cut. As for Snyder himself, he's simply said he has a cut, it's up to Warner Bros. to release it, as he continues to release information and images, including a recent shot of Uxas (pre-Omega Effect Darkseid) from Justice League's history lesson, where he was originally supposed to lead the attack (including a confrontation with Ares) before changes late in production swapped him out for Steppenwolf.
While there is a cost associated in completing the Snyder Cut's VFX, sound mixing, and other post-production polish, Snyder completed 100% of principal photography and was deep into post-production when he left. As Jay Oliva recently stated, some post-production work is started even before the cameras begin rolling, so with so much of the cut already complete, and more actors and crew joining fans to call for its release, saying the ball is in Warner Bros. court would be putting it lightly.
Warner Bros. previously stated they don't have any plans to release the Snyder Cut, but it's evident the cries for its release aren't going away. With significant shifts in Warner Bros. leadership including friends of Snyder like James Gunn and J.J. Abrams joining Warner Bros. ranks, the winds may blow favorably for Snyder and fans that want to see his cut.

The vast literature on styles related to learning is characterised by a myriad of models which can be broadly classified as based on either personality, cognition or instructional preference. The present review identifies 26 style models in addition to the 30 classified by previous researchers. The literature also reveals considerable confusion regarding the conceptual distinctions between styles, abilities and types. A detailed analysis is presented of three style models which have been researched extensively. It is concluded that style models ultimately reduce to type classifications of individual differences which are treated as falling into discrete (typically binary) categories when in reality they vary across continuous dimensions. A new model is presented which accommodates styles within the context of abilities, preferences and activities which together determine learning outcomes. This paper argues that designing higher education course delivery in terms of stereotyped styles will not serve all learners and may well disrupt the learning of those whose abilities and preferences do not fall at the extremes of the various dimensions. As well as accommodating individual differences, it is argued that academics need to develop the competencies of students beyond their stylised preferences.

The Detroit Federation of Teachers has seen a number of challenges and triumphs since its founding in 1931 – a significant number of which occurred during the 21-year tenure of president Mary Ellen Riordan. Riordan guided the union through many transformative events, including the introduction of collective bargaining for teachers and the first teacher strike in Detroit, and was involved with various court cases that transformed education policy and public employee unions.
Born Mary Ellen Hanlon in 1920 to Samuel and Cecilia Hanlon, Riordan grew up in a Catholic family. She earned a bachelor of science degree from Marygrove College and a Masters Degree from Columbia University in New York. She taught in the Detroit Public Schools for 14 years. Riordan's last teaching job was as science instructor at Isaac Crary Elementary in Detroit, for grades 5 through 8.
Riordan became involved with the Detroit Federation of Teachers early in her career. In an oral history interview, she described an encounter with Adelaide Hart that helped encourage her to join a union in January of 1945. Though previously she had been unsure, she came to see union activity as compatible with her Catholic values based on her study of the Rerum Novarum. Pope Leo XIII issued this encyclical, also known as Rights and Duties of Capital and Labor, in 1891. Riordan also agreed with the Detroit Federation of Teachers' focus on the practical needs of students and teachers. She became an active member and served on the union's executive board starting in 1954, working alongside long-time leaders Hart, Antonia Kolar, Helen Bowers, and Mary Kastead.
During the early years of Riordan's involvement, the union focused on individual issues, such as textbooks for a particular grade level or sick leave for teachers. Few believed that teachers could have all those issues and more covered in a single contract. Many members of the public and even union leaders in other sectors did not believe teachers should belong to a union at all.
Meanwhile, New York teachers were fighting for collective bargaining rights. The United Federation of Teachers went on strike in 1960 and won the country's first collective bargaining agreement for teachers in 1962.
Antonia Kolar presents Mary Ellen Riordan with a briefcase, the tag on which reads, in part: "Mary Ellen, the people's choice"
DFT members elected Riordan as their president in 1960. In February 1961 she became the first full-time president of the DFT. It was at that time the union began to discuss collective bargaining, which would allow Detroit teachers to have a single representative organization for discussions with the school board and place them in a stronger position to advocate for smaller class sizes, supplies, and better pay and working conditions. DFT had strong support from AFT headquarters. Bowers, DFT executive secretary, enlisted the help of David Selden, the former head of the Dearborn Federation of Teachers. Selden was an organizer for the American Federation of Teachers who became its president in 1968. He was heavily involved in the successful collective bargaining campaign in New York and he offered his advice to the Detroit union. Riordan and the DFT also went to Walter Reuther and the UAW for assistance. Reuther advised them to increase their membership, so in the fall of 1962, Riordan led the union in a successful membership drive.
After the successful membership drive, the union planned to campaign for collective bargaining once Detroit public schools secured a millage in 1963. However, the millage failed to pass and the district made severe cuts. The union had to focus its fight again on the immediate needs of the students and teachers.
The union also drafted a strike policy and came close to using it to convince the school board to hold an election. Teachers marched outside school board meetings before and after classes to show their support for collective bargaining. A strike ultimately proved unnecessary when the school board agreed to hold an election on May 11, 1964. The Detroit Federation of Teachers won over rival Detroit Education Association with 62 percent of the vote. DFT became to sole representative of teachers in the school system. Through the Teachers' Representative Committee, the DFT had an informal agreement with the school board, since teachers could not legally enter into collective bargaining contracts.
Riordan worked to change that by helping lobby for a state collective bargaining law. In 1965, Michigan legislature passed the Public Employee Relations Act (PERA, or Act 379), which governor George Romney signed that August. The act established a framework for collective bargaining in Michigan, allowing school boards to enter formal contracts with an exclusive bargaining agent, and reduced penalties for public employee strikes. DFT and Detroit Public Schools representatives signed their first formal contract in December 1965.
The DFT was only the third teachers' union in the United States to have a collective bargaining agreement with its school board following New York City and Philadelphia. Within the next few years, teachers entered into collective bargaining agreements across the country.
In addition to the initial collective bargaining success, Riordan guided the Detroit Federation of Teachers through strikes in 1967, 1973 and 1979, the Detroit Public Schools desegregation case Bradley v. Milliken, and agency fee case Abood v. Detroit Board of Education -- a precedent for Friedrichs v. California Teachers Union, which the U. S. Supreme Court will decide in 2016. Riordan also served on the AFT Executive Council and Committee, as well as many state and local organizations. In addition to these topics, Riordan's papers contain a treasure trove of gems, including teaching materials from the 1930s and 1940s, snippets of Detroit life throughout that time, notes from her courses at Marygrove College, photographs and notes regarding her trips to the White House and her travels around the country and world.
Researchers interested Detroit teachers should also search the AFT Local 231: Detroit Federation of Teachers Records and the Detroit Education Association Records.
For more on early collective bargaining efforts, see AFSCME Office of the President Jerry Wurf Records and Gerald W. McEntee Records and UAW Vice President Wyndham Mortimer Papers.
Stefanie Caloia was the AFT Project Archivist from August 2014 to February 2016. She is currently the Archivist for the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).

Sails of Glory – Miniatures Game Preview
By Rick Martin
Sails of Glory. Miniatures Game Preview. Publisher: Ares Games Designer: Andrea Angiolino and Andrea Mainini
Sails of Glory is Ares Games' new line of miniature combat rules that cover the Age of Sail. This first set will feature ships from the Napoleonic wars and includes vessels from the mid- to late-1700s. This is a preview of a prototype set and does not necessarily reflect the rules and components that will be included in the final version of the game. Advanced and optional rules were not included in the prototype.
Sails of Glory utilizes an adaption of Ares Games' award-winning card-based movement system that is featured in their Wings of Glory World War I and II aerial combat games. Each ship will feature a control card as well as a fully painted 1:1000 scale miniature. The first four ships in the starter set are the Courageuse (1788), HMS Defence (1763), Genereux (1785) and the HMS Tersichore (1785). This preview copy of the game didn't include the miniatures and used large ship counters that are the same size as the minis will be.
Each vessel is rated for hull points based upon the ship's size, known as its "Burden"; its maneuverability, known as its "Veer"; its crew size; and its number of cannons and their respective firing arcs. Each ship's data card also includes indicators for damage accumulated (and how that damage affects both the crew casualties and the number of guns that can fire), cannon loaded/unloaded status, number of sails raised (for speed) and whether the ship is at anchor or not.
There are colored counters (chits) that are drawn randomly to determine damage results from combat, similar to the damage counters used in the Wings of Glory aerial combat games. Damage shown on the counters goes from 0 (a total miss) to hull point damage, sail damage, crew hits and the dreaded fire counter! Counters are also provided to keep track of wind (very important to ships that used sails), types of ammunition loaded in the cannons, and other various and sundry things, some of which were not explained in the prototype game. For instance, there is an interesting-looking counter featuring "RUM." All of us who played the prototype for this preview want to know what this will do for a ship's crew in the final edition of the rules. The types of ammunition for the cannons include solid shot for damaging a ship's hull, chain shot for taking out sails, and canister shot for killing crew (think of giant shotgun shells—very nasty indeed).
Each game turn is divided into the following phases: Planning, Movement, Combat and Reloading.
The Planning Phase starts with the players determining what direction the wind is blowing, which affects not only the speed of the ship but the possible maneuvers it can perform. Based upon this information, the players pick the maneuver card that they will use and turn it face down in front of them. In the basic game, one maneuver card is played; in the intermediate game, two are picked.
During the Movement Phase, the previously selected maneuver card is placed in front of the ship; the ship is then moved so that the arrow on the back of its base lines up with an arrow on the movement card. This is very similar to the Wings of Glory movement system, but in Ships of Glory the number of sails a ship has will affect its speed and which movement arrow to use for maneuvers. Rules for what effect sails have was not in the basic rules provided with the prototype.
The Combat Phase happens when opposing ships are close enough to fire their cannons. The range is measured using a range ruler much like the type used in Wings of Glory. Proper maneuvering of your ship will bring most or all of your guns to bear on the target while leaving the target unable to respond with its own broadside. A lucky or skilled captain may even be able to "cross the enemy's T," i.e., place a ship perpendicular to the enemy's bow or stern. After guns are fired, the target player randomly draws damage chits and damage is assigned. If the ships are close enough, their crew may be able to fire their muskets at the other ship's crew; different damage chits are drawn for damage from muskets rather than cannon. Boarding-party actions are promised in the Advanced or Optional Rules.
In the Reloading Phase, a ship's guns that fired on the previous turn may be reloaded for action next turn. Since you are usually working one turn ahead, you have to plan your shots well in this game, both in terms of your planned maneuvers and the type of ammunition that will be most effective if the maneuvers put you into firing position.
The prototype game plays very well and is a blast! We played a four-ship slugfest in about 2 ½ hours and the players rated the game very highly. Sails of Glory, which Ares hopes to release in August 2013, looks sure to please even the most ardent landlubber.

The rum counter (I would guess) should be a molale booster for boarding parties.
