Lexus Ux THE LEXUS UX FACTOR (75/100)
The Lexus UX positions Lexus optimally in the compact part of the mid-sized premium brand SUV sector. Jonathan Crouch takes a look.
Ten Second Review
One of the market's most profitable segments at present is that for premium-branded mid-sized SUVs of the more compact sort. Lexus is a late-comer to this sector but in characteristic style, has brought something different to it in the form of this UX model.
The UX competes directly against cars like the Volvo XC40, the Jaguar E-PACE, the Audi Q3, the BMW X1 and the Mercedes GLA. The angular Lexus NX, which previously represented the company against rivals such as these, has been repositioned a little further up-market as an alternative to slightly larger medium-sized models (think Audi Q5s and BMW X3s). So, does the UX stand a chance against such an army of fiercely talented competitors? Well the looks are certainly a little different to what's on offer elsewhere in this sector - and so is the powertrain, a non-Plug-in petrol/electric hybrid. Lexus believes that over 80% of buyers will never have owned one of the company's products before. Will they like this one? Let's find out.
Driving Experience
The UX is the first Lexus to be constructed using its brand's latest GA-C global architecture platform, which offers gains in torsional rigidity that enable this car to be far more nimble and driver-orientated than the company's previous compact model offering, the CT200h. The platform also enables the UX to have the lowest centre of gravity of any vehicle in its class. It's surprisingly light for a hybrid too, thanks to weight-saving measures in the body construction, including the use of lightweight aluminium for the side doors, wings and bonnet, as well as a resin material for the back door. To start with, just a single UX 250h petrol/electric non-Plug-in hybrid variant is being offered, a car which uses its brand's fourth generation hybrid electric system that features a redesigned 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and an electronic continuously variable transmission CVT auto transmission. It's available both with front-wheel drive and with Lexus's E-Four AWD system. The engine output is 176bhp, enough to take the car to 62mph in about 8.5s en route to around 110mph. In development, particular efforts were made to reduce any "rubber band" effect in the operation of the hybrid system and transmission, by optimising the level of electric motor assistance and engine rpm to generate a sense of linear acceleration without the engine running at high revs.
Design and Build
Does this look like an SUV to you? For us, it's more of a family hatch than it is any kind of crossover - but maybe that's just the point. Lexus is trying to blur the boundaries here to make movement into this car from, say, a BMW 1 Series or an Audi A3 that much easier. From a stylistic point of view, the Japanese brand says that its aim with the UX wasn't to conform to the established, solid crossover look, but to achieve a strong and stylish silhouette that was more distinctive and dynamic. This design approach can be seen in the way the front and rear wings flare strongly outwards in relation to the car's basic form, which flows out from the lines of the spindle grille to envelop the cabin. At the front, the arrangement of the headlights and the spindle grille are incorporated into a deep, strong shape created by the hood and bumper to try and generate a sense of security. At the rear, a condensed styling treatment contrasts sharply with the flared wings to try and emphasise the UX's crossover qualifications. The UX measures 4,495mm long, 1,520mm high and 1,840mm wide and has a 2,640mm wheelbase. An 870mm couple distance ensures ample space for rear seat passengers in the surprisingly roomy cabin. The instrument panel has a low, unobtrusive design and the slim A-pillar mouldings have been shaped to improve visibility and give the kind of commanding outward view that is expected of a crossover. Out back, the load area is a generous 791mm long.
Market and Model
Both front and all-wheel drive versions of the initially-offered model, the UX 250h, are available and prices start at around £30,000 for the base UX model. It costs around £4,000 more to trade up to the more dynamic-looking 'F Sport' variant - or around £9,000 more to get top-spec luxury-orientated 'Takumi' trim. The base UX grade features the Lexus Safety System+ package of camera-driven kit, plus a navigation system, dual-zone air conditioning and 17-inch alloys. Key features for the F Sport include an F Sport-themed sporty interior and exterior styling features, including F Sport 18-inch alloy wheels and a front spindle grille, plus F Sport front seats with fabric and Tahara upholstery, pedals and steering wheel in the cabin. The specification also includes rear privacy glass, heated, power-adjustable front seats and a heated steering wheel. The Takumi, named in celebration of Lexus's skilled takumi craftsmen, offers smooth leather upholstery, integrated front seat ventilation, a bespoke Mark Levinson 13-speaker Premium Surround Sound system, a 10-inch multimedia display, a 360-degree camera, a driver's head-up display, a sunroof, a Blind Spot Monitor and a Rear Cross Traffic Alert with braking function system. Premium Pack and Premium Plus Pack options are available to add in more luxury.
Cost of Ownership
You might be approaching this UX wanting diesel-style returns from petrol power - and that's pretty much what you get. The hybrid engine delivers 65.7mpg on the combined cycle and a very creditable 103g/km of CO2. As you'd expect, to get the full benefit of the potential efficiency of this Lexus, you've got to do your part as a driver - and that means proactive use of the various modes and systems provided. You'll need to keep a very careful eye on the Hybrid system gauge that replaces the usual rev counter on the dash, making sure that the needle stays as often as possible in either of the blue 'Eco' or 'Charge' zones. Those in a frugal frame of mind will also want to keep an eye on the various graphical screens provided by the fascia's centre-dash colour monitor. Go to the 'Trip Information' part of its 'Vehicle' section and you'll find under 'Past Record' a screen that graphically shows your success - or otherwise - in terms of recently achieved frugality. Another option on this screen is the useful 'Energy Monitor', there to show at a glance at any time what's charging or being driven by what. The graphics for this are provided in simpler form as one of the selectable settings provided by the central instrument binnacle display screen.
You might wonder whether the market really needs another posh little SUV like this, but we would contend that this segment wasn't really complete until Lexus entered it. True to form, the Japanese brand is the only one of the established players in this class to offer the option of hybrid power and that in itself will be enough to garner this UX plenty of sales in a market where plenty of buyers want an alternative to diesel. Obvious rivals are certain to quickly correct this oversight though and it'll be at that point that Lexus' decision not to -initially at least - given this car plug-in technology might be shown to be a little short-sighted. Then there's the styling. Overall, we like it but this car is really more of an ordinary Focus-style family hatch than any kind of SUV - a Lexus CT200h replacement in all but name. Think of it in those terms and it makes plenty of sense. As Lexus models tend to do.

I'm looking for a re-enactor to take part in a very exciting television series pitch called Levels, set in the Somerset countryside. We are looking for a man (or woman!) who owns a full suit of armour complete with a long sword. (30th May-1st June)
We have some fantastic emerging talent involved in our cast and crew. Our writer/ director, Duncan Roe has just had his latest short film, sic-fi drama, Noro, accepted into the East End (London) and Palm Springs (California) Film Festivals. I have attached links to his, and our DOP Adam Barnett's websites, should you wish to see some of their work.
Duncan Roe duncanroe.com/
Adam Barnett http://www.adambarnettdop.com
The scene itself is very simple but essential to the trailer and will be the last image the audience sees.
As this is a 'pitch' project we can only offer expenses but we would only require a couple of hours to shoot the scene. Pub lunch and drinks would most definitely be on us!
If you have any questions about the project, or wish to take part, please email me at email@example.com
Kindest Regards,
Alice Sainsbury

Peter L. Lindseth, University of Connecticut School of Law, has posted Introduction: Reconciling Europe and the Nation-State, an excerpt from his new book, RESISTANCE AND RECONCILIATION: EUROPEAN INTEGRATION, ADMINISTRATIVE GOVERNANCE, AND THE NATION-STATE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE, Oxford University Press, 2010. (I am having trouble downloading this, but the download function will most likely be fixed soon.) Here's the abstract:
European governance is "administrative, not constitutional." That is the basic thesis of my forthcoming book, RESISTANCE AND RECONCILIATION: EUROPEAN INTEGRATION, ADMINISTRATIVE GOVERNANCE, AND THE NATION-STATE IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE (Oxford University Press, 2010). The Table of Contents and Introduction are now posted on SSRN for review and comment.
This book approaches the problem of European governance from the perspective of the legal development of the administrative state over the course of the twentieth century. It describes the convergence of European public law and institutional practice around the legitimating structures and normative principles of what this study calls "the postwar constitutional settlement of administrative governance." The process of European integration has had, without doubt, profound constitutional implications for its constituent states. It has both disciplined certain negative externalities of national democracy and offered market actors a range of transnational rights and duties, all in order to construct a new market-polity transcending national borders. Nevertheless, this polity has had great difficulty being understood as "constitutional" in its own right. Most importantly, it has struggled to be seen as the embodiment or expression of a new political community ("Europe") capable of self-rule through institutions historically "constituted" for that purpose. Rather, as with all forms of administrative governance, European integration has remained ultimately dependent, for its democratic and constitutional legitimacy, on the "constituted" bodies of "representative government" on the national level – legislative, executive, and judicial.
This historical synthesis challenges an idea widespread among legal scholars of integration: that European governance is built on a set of "institutions constitutionally separated from national legitimation processes." To the contrary, the mechanisms examined in this book have developed historically to overcome the seeming disconnect at the heart of integration, between otherwise autonomous exercises of supranational regulatory power, on the one hand, and the national sources of democratic and constitutional legitimacy, on the other. Much less than reflecting the purportedly "sui generis" character of "multilevel" or "polyarchical" governance in Europe (three commonly deployed rubrics), these mechanisms have an identifiable historical pedigree. They are grounded in models of administrative legitimation that emerged in postwar Western Europe in response to the disastrous constitutional failings of the interwar years. For that reason, to understand integration, historical attention to the antecedent stabilization of administrative governance on the national level is essential.
By conforming to the normative demands of the postwar settlement (most importantly, "delegation" and "mediated legitimacy"), European public law has sought to reconcile the functional realities of integration with the continuing role of the nation-state as the primary locus of democratic and constitutional legitimacy in the European system. This reconciliation has tolerated a good deal of autonomous regulatory power in what has become an increasingly dense and complex sphere of "Europeanized" administrative governance. Nevertheless, this process of reconciliation has also included a significant amount of normative resistance to the autonomously "constitutional" pretenses of European supranationalism (as if the EU were somehow capable of self-government through institutions independently "constituted" for that purpose). By describing the interrelationship between resistance and reconciliation in the evolution of European public law, this book seeks to draw on history to develop a better understanding of the nature and legitimacy of European governance going forward.

- First, from HelLooks, I love the casual mix of colors and textures in this girl's outfit. It's effortless in that just-put-on-the-first-thing-I-grabbed sort of way that I can never quite accomplish.
- Next is a shot from The Sartorialist for style.com. I've seen her pop up on tons of style sites and Beth even did a great collage of her photos but I don't have a clue who she is. Anyone have an idea? I've had this photo in my inspiration folder for a couple of weeks and I finally realized that I pretty much have everything she's wearing hanging in my closet. Not literally of course, but I could easily recreate this look.
- This girl from Style Sightings really takes the cake. She's like Paul Bunyan's adorable niece. Lately I've been steering away from really casual looks but this is making me want to break out my corduroys.
- I don't usually go for monochromatic looks like this one from Stockholm Street Style. Thinking about it is already making my head feel like it might implode. I'm still not sure if it's something I really want to conquer, but it's certainly making me look in my closet in a whole new way.

Jeff Van Gundy, Larry Brown, John Calipari and other basketball luminaries are coming to Rutgers University in September for the first annual coaches' clinic to benefit the newly established Brayden Carr Foundation.
"In Brayden's Eyes, The Brayden Carr Foundation" has been formed by longtime Rutgers men's basketball staffer Jim Carr and his wife Natalie Zeno Carr in honor of their son Brayden, who passed away in May at age 2. Brayden suffered from epilepsy, and the foundation aims to provide athletic, social, rehabilitative, and academic opportunities to children with seizure conditions, with or without motor delays from associated cerebral palsy, as well as to provide humanitarian support/relief to their parents.
"We see an opportunity to help families dealing with similar challenges," Jim Carr said. "It's important that we do not let this opportunity pass us by. Through support, donations and corporate partnership, our hope is that Brayden's smile shines on, his laugh is heard and his eyes are forever bright through the efforts of this very important foundation."
The foundation sprang from the outpouring of support for the Carr family from all corners of the hardwood community. The clinic will take place Sept. 30 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Louis Brown Athletic Center. Kansas coach Bill Self, St. Anthony High School mentor Bob Hurley and Rutgers skipper Mike Rice will speak in addition to Naismith Hall of Famer Brown, Kentucky's Calipari and Van Gundy, a former Rutgers assistant who went on to coach the Knicks and is now a top NBA television analyst.
"Coach Van Gundy was the first guy to reach out to us after Brayden's passing," Carr said by phone. "The idea sort of got formed through friends in the business, and it looks like we've assembled a great crew of speakers. I think it could be really, really good."
The clinic, which is open to all coaches, includes lunch. A $150 donation is required. WFAN 660-AM is co-sponsoring the event along with Rutgers athletics.
"When Brayden passed there were a lot of people asking how they can help," Carr said. "With the amount of coaches who called, we think this is the best avenue. All of those guys are volunteering their time. No one is charging a fee."
Carr said plans are also in the works for a foundation fundraiser in the spring, most likely a run-walk event. He said he remains overwhelmed with the support he has received over the past few months.
"Every day you get a call or a text from someone saying they're just thinking about you," he said. "It means a lot to me. I didn't realize when we were going through it all how much Brayden meant to people."

LMC Celebrates 40 Years
This month, Lexington Medical Center celebrates its 40th anniversary. We opened as a small county hospital on January 6, 1971. Today, we've grown into a modern medical complex with state-of-the-art technology and an unsurpassed culture of caring. Each day this month, we'll share a story from our hospital's history book.
Lillian Hulon's Generous Gift
Today, the intersection of Interstate 26 and Highway 378 boasts the sprawling campus of Lexington Medical Center. But before any buildings ever existed, the land belonged to a West Columbia woman named Lillian Hulon. Her kindness and generosity helped the dream of a hospital for Lexington County become reality.
In the 1960s, Mrs. Hulon donated more than 22 acres of land to Lexington County on two simple conditions: first, the land had to be used for a hospital; second, she and her husband Harvey Hulon could live out their lives in the care of the hospital. The Hulons, who had no children, knew they would have a place that would take care of them in their retirement.
When the hospital opened in 1971, Mr. and Mrs. Hulon moved in permanently. Because the hospital had all private rooms, they were "neighbors." Hospital records show Mrs. Hulon lived in Room 324 and Mr. Hulon lived in Room 323.
"Harvey would walk into Lillian's room every morning and kiss her three times on the lips," said Pat Blume, a nurse who worked at the hospital from 1971 to 2009. "It was so special."
Nurses from the early years of the hospital talk about Mrs. Hulon going out to run errands, getting dressed up to attend church each Sunday and taking care of her beloved violets in her room.
They remember Mr. Hulon walking the hospital hallways with a cane. The couple stayed for the rest of their lives. Mr. Hulon died in the early 1970s. Mrs. Hulon died in 1976.
The story of the Hulons is significant because it established the precedent that Lexington Medical Center takes care of its community.

Roman Polanski has set his sites on a bizarre Eastern European murder mystery first chronicled in the pages of New Yorker.
"True Crimes," by David Grann, about the murder of Dariusz Janiszewski, an unassuming businessman in Poland, is being adapted by Jeremy Brock ("The Last King of Scotland"), reported Deadline. Like most New Yorker pieces, it's in exhaustively researched, very well written and insanely long.
The piece recounts how long after Janiszewski's body was found in 1997 in the Oder River, a man named Krystian Bala wrote a novel called "Amok," which read like a fictional account of Janiszewski's murder. Needless to say, it reignited the police's interest in Janiszewski's death.
U.S. & World
Between the fascinating mystery and the story being set in Poland, it's easy to see why Polanski might be interested.
Polanski's next film is "Carnage," an adaptation of the Tony Award-winning play "God of Carnage." The film is a comedy of manners starring Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Kate Winslet and Christoph Waltz as two pairs of parents brought together by a playground altercation between their sons. It's been picked up for distribution, but has no release date yet. Expect to see it come awards season.

Classic works of lit / Reduced quite a bit / In poems and prose / As fun overflows.
How to Become Ridiculously Well-Read in One Evening: A Collection of Literary Encapsulations. Compiled and Edited by E.O. Parrott. Penguin, 188 pp., varied prices.
By Janice Harayda
Week after week, one of the most popular posts this site has been a review of E. O. Parrott's How to Be Well-Versed in Poetry www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2006/11/20/, which illustrates the different types of poetry though amusing and self-descriptive verse. No less delightful is Parrott's How to Become Ridiculously Well-Read in One Evening, a collection of 150 brief and witty summaries of classic novels, plays and poems.
In this tongue-in-cheek volume, Tim Hopkins gives you Othello in 10 tabloid headline parodies, including GIRL WITH EVERYTHING ASKS FOR MOOR. And Basil Ransome-Davies shows how an overeager publicist might have promoted The Bostonians: "He's done it again! Our guess is that's what you'll be saying to yourself when you read Henry James's latest exposé of upper-crust Boston …"
But most of the 31 contributors turn the classics into verse. V. Ernest Cox sums up The Old Man and the Sea in a limerick that begins:
There was an old man of the sea,
Who for eight-four days went fish-free,
But he rowed out next day,
And almost straightaway
Struck gold – piscatorially …
Paul Griffin describes A Christmas Carol in a clerihew that has as its first quatrain:
Ebenezer Scrooge
Was nobody's stooge;
It drove him into one of his rages
When somebody asked for more wages …
And Peter Norman gives you The Great Gatsby in iambic tetrameter:
Nick Carraway and Gatsby (Jay)
Are next-door neighbors; every day
The enigmatic Gatsby gazes
Towards a distant green light (Daisy's).
Apart from their entertainment value, these light-hearted verses could work well as teaching aids. Anybody want to guess what novel inspired W.S. Brownlie's: "A captain with an idée fixe / Chased a whale for weeks and weeks"?
Best line: Some of the literary encapsulations take the form of song parodies, such as Cox's: "The animals stage a coup d'état, / Hurrah! Hurrah! /And from the farm all humans bar, / Hurrah! Hurrah!" [Note: Show the world you're a genius by being the first to name the book and song – known by more than one title – that inspired this. Jan]
Worst line: The copyright line, which suggests that this book is overdue for a reprint.
Caveat lector: The third and fourth lines of the Hemingway limerick should be intended four spaces, but I couldn't make it happen.
Published: 1985
Furthermore: Please feel free to entertain visitors to this site by leaving your own encapsulations — of new or old books — as Comments.

Charlize Theron may be in baby bliss, but at last night's Human Rights Campaign gala, the gorgeous actress had one thing on her mind—Michael Fassbender's man-parts!
While accepting her Ally for Equality Award from Fassbender, Theron couldn't help but gush over her Prometheus costar's very impressive manhood...
Referencing Fassbender's full-frontal work in Shame, Theron quipped, "I have to say that I was truly impressed that you chose to play it big. Most other actors would have gone small, trust me. No, I know because I've worked with them."
The Oscar-winner didn't stop there. "Your penis was a revelation," she said to the howling audience. "I'm available to work with it any time."
On a far more serious note, Theron was honored during the gala for her advocacy work with the LGBT community. "Marriage equality is about more than just marriage," she said in her acceptance speech. "It's about something greater. It's about acceptance...I will always be your cheerleader and I will always be your friend.
As for her newly adopted son Jackson, the 36-year-old gushed to E!, "He's doing great. Its very hard for me to leave the house now so you know how important this is because I was like standing at the door going, 'Ah, this is so hard!'"
Theron's pal Chelsea Handler hosted the bash.
"I love Charlize," Handler told E!. "She's got her little baby now, she's a mother. That was almost a reason I stopped being friends with her because I try not to be friends with too many mothers, but we worked through it."
So its safe to say the comedian won't be on any babysitting duty?
"No," said Handler. "I don't think anyone would ask me to babysit."

COMFORT zone
More than you might think. Ergonomics is a major consideration in the design and engineering of today's mowers and grounds care equipment. For good reason. Workers are more efficient, more attentive and more productive when they are less fatigued and have to strain less to operate equipment.
Still, landscape operations are among the highest industries for injury and illness, according to figures compiled by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In fact, OSHA and the Associated Landscape Contractors of America (ALCA) recently joined forces in a program to promote worker safety in large and small landscape businesses.
If you manage employees, you no doubt are well aware of the costs for Workers Compensation Insurance. Even with the advances in equipment design, Nebraska (for example) had more than 180 claims filed with the state's Workers' Compensation Court last year, under the general category of "grounds care workers." Federated Mutual Insurance Company did a major study of worker compensation injuries in 2002 and 2003 for equipment dealers. By far, the biggest cause of losses was strain injuries — lifting, twisting, machinery use, repetitive motion, etc.
Several years ago, British researchers conducted a laboratory study to evaluate 10 different lawn mowers for ease of starting, operating controls and handling. They randomly selected 99 paid subjects (50 male, 49 female), ranging in age from 14 to 71 but all with prior lawn mower experience. Although all the mowers had high startability rates (90-97 percent), 70 percent of them were perceived as less than easy to start and controls were less than easy to operate on 90 percent of the mowers. About 95 percent of the subjects could not identify the safety control lever or the self-propel control on one lawn mower.
Darrell Hinklin, supervisor of industrial design for Toro, says he can remember the days when manufacturers designed tractors and riding mowers to do the work, but the operator almost had to be lifted into place, or climb over a tire, hitch or attachment to get into the seat. Thank goodness those kinds of problems are disappearing as designers and engineers learn more about fitting equipment to people.
"Now," says Hinklin, "ergonomics factors are designed into equipment right from the beginning." Most mower manufacturers today take great pains to make their equipment as operator-friendly as possible. Even walk-behind mowers now come with features that make for easier control, and adjustments that enable operators of different sizes to comfortably run the mowers.
Toro, for example, designs their riding mowers to fit the 95 percentile for male operators and all but the smallest 5 percentile of female operators. In other words, an NBA all-star player might feel cramped if he climbed into the seat of a new Toro Z, but just about anyone else would fit okay. And a petite gymnast might have to stretch some to reach all the controls, but most females would be comfortable operating the machine.
"These size parameters are based on world population figures, not just the U.S.," Hinklin says, "because of our international sales and because many operators in the U.S. today come from Hispanic and other backgrounds."
Hinklin says the objective today is to make the operator/machine interface as seamless as possible. "When a mower is run for eight or more hours per day, the operator will do a better job if he or she is more comfortable. And, the operator who is more satisfied with his equipment tends to take better care of it."
Toro's industrial designers have focused on both the operator environment and mower control features, according to Hinklin. "We've engineered seats for added comfort, of course, but they also are designed to be more 'capturing' of the operator's frame, to enhance his stability when mowing slopes and sidehills."
Both seat cushioning and suspension have been improved, concentrating on high-pressure areas like lower backs and hips. "We specify seat backs that are 15 to 18 inches high on most riders," he says. "Sometimes, limited space on smaller units dictates seat dimensions, but we aim for the most comfort possible. When you see an operator come to work in the morning with his own seat cushion or back cushion, it generally means there is some room for improvement in the factory seat."
Hinklin says one of the challenges of today's zero-turn mowers is that the operator is essentially positioned right over the rear axle. "This can mean a rougher ride and somewhat of a 'pounding' effect on the operator. It's something we take into account in our seat suspension and cushioning."
There has been a definite trend to "softer feel controls," says Hinklin. "It continues to evolve, but softer steering wheels, knobs, levers, etc. are more conforming to the operator's hands, plus providing better gripping power for safer operation." Manufacturers are tending more to "bunched" controls where nearly everything is within easy reach and all in the same general area. "Based on our market research, we even moved the control panel gauges toward the right, closer to the hand controls."
Kubota has incorporated many ergonomic features from their tractor designs into their ZTR mowers, says James Burnside, product manager for Kubota's commercial turf products. Kubota offers three diesel zero-turn models and recently introduced two gas-engine models. "We surveyed both customers and dealers, then built prototypes for use by commercial cutters before we arrived at our final designs," he says.
"We've incorporated features like foot-operated hydraulic deck lift and hydraulic clutches, with features like neutral between forward and reverse for smoother operation. We've added seats that can be adjusted for softer or harder feel — with armrests for more comfort. We've added oscillating front axles for better hillside tracking."
Mower components are more fully integrated because Kubota, according to Burnside, builds all components, except the Kohler gas engines. "Hydraulics, transmission, diesel engines are all Kubota design and engineered to work together. We've recently changed the operator platforms to minimize obstructions for the operator getting on and off the machine, too."
Gilbert Peña says most manufacturers today design mower ergonomics for versatility. Peña, group brand marketing manager, commercial mowing, with John Deere Worldwide Commercial & Consumer Equipment Division, says commercial mowers may be used by several different people of varying height and weight, so everything that can be adjustable should be made that way — seat position, suspension, steering column, etc.
Seats used to be one-size-fits-all, no frills. Now, seats often adjust fore and aft to accommodate operators of varying height, plus they have better cushioning, spring suspension and usually armrests, says Peña. "Deere was one of the first to centralize controls for more convenient operation, too. We moved them to the right side, starting three years ago. Before, some were on the right, some on the left, some between the operator's legs."
Deere uses foot controls for raising and lowering cutting decks, along with a right-side dial for setting cutting height in ¼-inch increments. "It just makes sense for the operator to use the strength of his or her leg to raise the deck, instead of straining to pull a hand lever," says Peña.
Zero-turn mowers are the fastest growing industry segment these days and many of the ergonomics improvements have been made on these models. Walker Manufacturing takes a different approach to its ZTR design with its out-front deck position. "Out-front decks allow the operator to sit lower (as much as 8 to 12 inches lower compared to some mid-mount models)," says Tim Cromley, marketing manager for Walker. "Besides the added stability with the lower center of gravity, the operator has a better view of the mower deck. He doesn't have to strain his neck to look straight down to see the deck. The out-front deck allows for better close-in trimming under trees and shrubs, too."
Walker uses a combination of a forward speed control and steering levers for mower operation. "The forward speed control is handy, right beside the seat, and controls only ground speed," Cromley says. "The steering levers are actuated with just finger-tip pressure, and are used to slow the mower for turns. For straightaway mowing, this isn't a big deal, but for close-in maneuvering around flower beds, shrubs or trees, the sensitive finger-tip control really allows precise steering."
The manufacturers we visited with all said that ergonomics is continuing to evolve for mowers as well as other grounds equipment. Undoubtedly, new and improved refinements will be made in mower seats, operator controls, convenience features, etc.
Toro's Darrell Hinklin says there is increasing use of symbols and "pictographs" to instruct operators on control and safety features. "Anymore, printed instructions often have to be in two or more languages. It's much simpler when manufacturers can apply stickers or decals with illustrations and symbols to illustrate correct mower operation and safety precautions."
Hinklin says mowers will continue to incorporate more "nice" features like beverage holders, spaces for radio and cell phone, storage compartments for jackets or sweatshirts, etc. Noise reduction will be a continuing focus, too. Already, manufacturers incorporate hoods and engine covers designed to help soften engine noise. "We've actually gotten to the point on some mowers where engine noise has been mitigated enough that the deck and blades are the noisiest part of the operation," he says. "We keep working on ways to reduce that noise, but it's not a simple task."
Hinklin says it won't be long before some mowers come equipped with "joysticks" that can control up to six different functions with one lever. "We're seeing it already in farm equipment and material handling equipment," he says. "Manufacturers are incorporating electronics more and more into mowing equipment. With more sophisticated switching controls, combining operations into some kind of joystick will be possible."
Gary Burchfield is a freelance writer who lives in Lincoln, Neb.
Ergonomics have taken a high priority with walk-behind mowers, as well. Most of today's walk-behinds have adjustable handles, to allow for different operators. Honda took it an additional step by increasing the tube diameter of the handlebar on its new HRX series mowers, "to provide a more natural hand grip for operators," says Sage Marie, director of public relations for Honda Power Equipment.
Honda, Toro, MTD and some others offer variable speed control features that adjust mower speed to the operator's walking speed — and changes as the operator slows or walks faster. Troy-Bilt calls it "Smart Speed," Toro's version is the "Personal Pace System" and Honda's HRX offers a "Cruise Control" Hydrostatic Transmission with infinite speeds from 0 to 4 mph.
Walk-behind operator controls have been improved and simplified, much like riding mower improvements. Husqvarna's trademarked feature called "Easy Touch System" positions operator controls in an easier-to-reach and more efficient control center.
Ergonomics, by definition, is the branch of science that aims to learn about human abilities and limitations and then apply that knowledge to improve people's interaction with products, systems and environments.
The science of ergonomics grew out of World War II, when new and improved systems were rapidly developed without fully considering the people who had to use them. Engineers and designers soon learned that they needed to take into account human and environmental factors if new products were to be employed safely and effectively.
Some years ago, ergonomics researchers compared relative positions of the controls on a lathe with the size of an average male worker. They discovered the lathe operator would have to stoop and move from side to side to operate the lathe controls; the "ideal" sized person to operate the lathe would be 4.5 feet tall, 2 feet across the shoulders and have an arm span of 8 feet!
Fortunately, great strides in equipment design have been made in recent years, much of it due to competitive marketing, and some due to government requirements. For example, Darrell Hinklin at Toro says workers compensation standards are so rigid in Scandinavian countries that riding mowers are frequently shipped without seats to those countries. Seats are added in-country, based on very rigid government standards. "A worker hurt on the job in Sweden, for example, is retired for life," Hinklin says.

Guilty pleasures? I love fatty foods, especially bacon. I will eat any bacon-infused food, especially dessert. By far, the most amazing bacon sweet I've had is a bacon macaroon from Panya.
Describe your perfect meal. My perfect meal would start with fresh Kumamoto oysters with lemon juice and cocktail sauce. Then proceed to soft, fluffy white rice with a sunny-side-up egg drizzled in soy sauce, miso braised pork belly, extra old kimchi, and a salad. Then, it would finish with a cup of Earl Grey tea and a crème brûlée for dessert.
What food won't you eat? Anything with rosemary or lavender. I don't like the aroma and flavor. I also don't like cilantro, ginger, cinnamon, and star anise in large quantities.
Favorite food person? Alton Brown—everything he says on Good Eats never fails to educate me.
When did you first realize you were a serious eater? I noticed my love for food during my first year in high school. That was when I started experimenting in my kitchen and spending my allowance on dining out.
What do your family and friends think of your food obsessions? I think they find it normal, since I come from a house of cooks. The only thing my family finds weird is my obsession with taking food photos.
Favorite food sites or blogs? Cooking Korean food with Maangchi and JustHungry.com
Everyone has a go-to person they call for restaurant recommendations. Who's yours? Unfortunately, I don't have this person because I'm the go-to person for restaurant recommendations amongst my friends. Normally, I ask Mr. Google for suggestions. I occasionally get my recommendations from various friends and acquaintances.
What is your favorite meal of the day and where do you get it? Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day. I could even eat breakfast for dinner. Normally, I don't have the money to eat breakfast outside of my home. But when I do spend money on breakfast, I like to go to Northern Spy Food Co. for the open face mushroom sandwich. If I'm on a budget, I like to go to Tongs Café in Flushing for an HK-style breakfast with egg sandwiches and milk tea.
Do you ever cook? What's the best dish you make? I love to cook. It's my recipe for relaxation. Sushi and onigiri is probably the best dish I make. It was the first thing I really learned how to make and one I make very often. (I even have my own formula for rice seasoning.)

AC Transit Ridership Swells
Press Releases
Ridership soars for a second year–particularly high for transbay
For the second year in a row, AC Transit is experiencing a boom in ridership, with its transbay lines showing particularly remarkable increases in passengers — including a 37.3 percent ridership jump on one line.
Systemwide, the agency's average daily ridership has climbed by 8.2 percent over the past year, from 178, 042 to 192, 553 daily riders. The analysis shows that 78 of 107 bus lines experienced higher passenger levels, including 46 lines that saw a double-digit percentage increase.
Bus service geared toward specific neighborhoods, along with a sluggish economy and expensive gasoline, may be among several factors luring more commuters onto buses for both long and short trips.
"Whether caused by high fuel prices, greater concern for the environment or just a growing appreciation for the convenience of traveling by bus, we are beginning to notice a steady upward trend in the number of people using our services as their primary means of transportation,'' said AC Transit Board President Greg Harper.
The surge in ridership has been especially noticeable on the San Francisco transbay routes where the percentage of ridership increased by double digits on 25 of the 27 transbay lines. On the NL-line, which runs from East Oakland to San Francisco, ridership has increased an astounding 37.3 percent.
Overall, 20.4 percent more passengers are hopping aboard transbay buses, boosting the number of daily riders to 13,897 in 2013 compared to 11,545 daily riders in 2012.
"Over the past two years, we have replaced a third of our fleet with new buses, expanded our workforce and taken steps to become more efficient," said AC Transit General Manager David Armijo. "Our new ridership levels, to some degree, may be a reflection of those efforts."
Indeed, as part of the A Better Ride campaign, AC Transit has revamped its fleet with 210 buses for more dependability, instituted initiatives to improve service performance, deployed a cleanliness program to keep buses sparkling like new, and created task forces to focus on areas such as:
- on-time performance with teams of street supervisors to ensure adherence to schedules;
- reducing the number of accidents for both passengers and employees
- decreasing road calls so that buses are not pulled out of service for repairs.
If current trends continue, staff may recommend that the Board add more service to accommodate the additional ridership.

A year after Hamilton County Schools officials unveiled an ambitious technology-for-all plan, teachers are one step closer to formally allowing students to bring their own smartphones, laptops and tablets into the classroom.
The school board's technology committee met Friday to review a new BYOD policy -- short for "bring your own device." At the discretion of teachers and principals, it allows students to connect their personal devices into the school system's network. The board will study the new procedures at its regular monthly meeting Thursday.
But even with approval, the policy doesn't quite open the doors to a technology free-for-all. First, school officials will have to finish ramping up wireless infrastructure and increasing bandwidth.
"It's going to take a considerable amount of planning," said Alan Walker, the school system's network engineer. "And it definitely takes having the wireless infrastructure in place before it can even be considered."
For outside devices, the system will use a "Starbucks model," in which students log on through guest accounts to the school system's firewalled network. That, unlike access from cellular networks, will ensure that students aren't accessing inappropriate websites, officials said. A guest account also can operate outside the school system's infrastructure, which contains payroll information, academic records and other sensitive data.
"You just don't want to throw them on our network as it is now. Because students are very, very savvy," said Patty Kinsey, information technology director. "We don't want them to have access to our servers that have information like grades on them."
Now, some teachers pass out school building wireless passwords to students without permission. Others allow students to bring smartphones and access a cell network to reach the Internet. And many teachers, in accordance with school system policy, still ban cellphones and other devices. The new policy will open the door for principals and teachers to welcome in student devices in a sanctioned manner.
Superintendent Rick Smith said Signal Mountain's three schools -- Nolan Elementary, Thrasher Elementary and Signal Mountain Middle-High -- likely would pilot a BYOD policy in the new year after extensive teacher training.
"They're going to walk into this slowly to make sure teachers, students and parents are comfortable with it," he said.
Smith pushed a plan last December to put an iPad or similar device into the hands of all the school district's 42,000 students. Aside from easing the burden from new online state assessments, Smith said technology-rich classrooms could help transform teaching, putting information at students' fingertips.
Smith's plan relies heavily on students bringing their own devices and getting donations from nonprofits and parent groups. The Benwood Foundation, Chattanoooga Rotary Club and the Public Education Foundation are funding a pilot of devices in six schools.
For months, information technology employees have been increasing bandwidth and installing wireless access points to buildings across the county, trying to get every school to a 300 megabit-per-second capacity -- three times the lowest tier of EPB residential Internet service.
The school system now puts aside about $2.5 million a year for information technology department salaries, equipment purchases and software licenses. Grants often are spent on computers and other equipment for schools. But Kinsey said an already small staff is struggling to keep up with the ever-increasing workload. Kinsey said comparable school systems' IT staffs are much larger. So administrators will ask the school board on Thursday to approve the addition of three full-time positions to her department. Including benefits, the move is expected to cost about $160,000 annually.
"We are trying to be as efficient and as proactive as we can be. We can do more if we have more people," she said. "It's going to be harder and harder for us to keep up these devices."

O'Donnell: "NBC has created a monster" in Trump
Lawrence O'Donnell responded to the president's revelation of his long-form birth certificate today by attacking his own bosses at NBC for perpetuating Donald Trump's flirtation with the GOP presidential candidacy by not revealing what they know about the future of his reality shows.
O'Donnell, who, as a host on MSNBC, ultimately answers to the same leadership as Trump, the star of NBC's "The Apprentice" and "The Celebrity Apprentice," has been pummeling his colleague for much of this month.
But tonight he used the climax of the birther story that Trump has been pushing in the media to go after NBC executives.
He argued that Trump's line during today's news conference that he couldn't announce his candidacy until after the season finale of his television show was an incorrect reading of equal-time laws, since these laws don't apply to entertainment programs. He also argued that NBC executives likely knew well whether Trump has re-upped for next season, since many of NBC's other shows have already been announced for that year.
In the past, NBC executives have been coy about their knowledge of Trump's plans, with one "who asked not to be identified to avoid any conflict with Mr. Trump" telling The New York Times that "this is Donald being Donald" when asked how Trump's presidential ambitions were affecting the network's plans for his highly successful show.
"NBC can no longer avoid conflict with Mr. Trump," O'Donnell said. "NBC has a conflict with Mr. Trump. NBC has created a monster who is using his NBC fame to spew hatred, reeking with racist overtones and undertones about the president of the United States. NBC can no longer stand idly by, not for one more day. The NBC entertainment division could not possibly have created a worse conflict with the NBC News division. The NBC entertainment division is now in possession of news that the NBC News division would [like to have]. An NBC paid performer, the most deranged egomaniac in the history of NBC entertainment division has spewed lies to the point where he provoked this."
And he rolled the tape of this morning's news conference.
I've reached out to NBC for comment.

UPDATE: Josh Gerstein helpfully pointed out that entertainment shows do trigger equal-time rules.
I called up Todd Gray, a Washington, D.C.-based media lawyer, and he confirms this, though he said the law technically refers to it as "equal opportunities."
"If there is a use of a broadcast station by one candidate for political office, and then the other candidates for the same office are supposed to have equal opportunities to use the broadcast facilities," Gray said. "There are some exceptions, but there is no exception for entertainment programming."
Things get a little fuzzier with shows like "Oprah," which are generally considered entertainment shows, but which can trigger the exception to the equal opportunities rules made for news interviews. But these "wouldn't extend to a reality TV show," Gray said.
So what about the example that O'Donnell pointed to, "Saturday Night Live"?
(O'Donnell said "candidates appearing on entertainment shows never provoke equal-time claims. 'Saturday Night Live' in this very building has candidates come on all the time without opposing candidates asking for equal time.")
"I don't recall that 'Saturday Night Live' has ever asked to have a ruling that it comes within the news interview exception," Gray said.
Local stations pulled the episode of "Saturday Night Live" with Al Sharpton in 2003 over fears of running afoul of equal-time rules, but by 2008, when Senator John McCain appeared on "SNL" during the campaign, nobody blinked. At the time, David Oxenford of the Broadcast Law Blog wrote the episde "seems to raise the question as to whether there remains any vitality to the equal opportunities doctrine," which might not hold up to a First Amendment challenge, anyway.

Tragic reunion: Web unites Collier's friends
In the 21st century, nearly every aspect of life is conducted online: "chatting," researching, downloading music. But with the November 18 death of UVA third-year Michelle Collier, it's clear the Internet has also become an outlet for grieving.
"RIP Michelle, I love you," writes UVA student Lauren Moran on Facebook.com, a website where students can post personal information, pictures, and links to their friends.
"You taught me to tell everyone that I care about them as much as I do," writes Kamaren Suwijn.
Collier is not the first UVA student to be remembered on facebook. Brian Love, a fourth-year and member of the UVA snowboarding team who died at Wintergreen last February, still smiles in a photo on his facebook page.
On October 3, nearly eight months after his death, on what would have been Love's 23rd birthday, friends wrote notes to him online.
"Happy birthday, bro," wrote Sean Scanlon. "You're always in our hearts."
"My, we had two crazy Halloweens together," wrote Anne Eschenroeder. "I love you."
Posting such sentiments on a personal web page is a memorial not unlike the heaps of flowers brought to the site of an accident, says John Boyd, a clinical psychologist.
Finding others who share in the loss is an important step, and online communities provide new opportunities for such connection.
"It's wonderful to express grief over the Internet," Boyd says, adding a few words of caution. "But it should not replace human contact."
Whenever a student dies, UVA spokesperson Carol Wood says, UVA strives to provide such human contact by attempting to offer counseling to every student and faculty member who knew the deceased. Because Collier died just before Thanksgiving break, many of her friends were unreachable. Even the venerable Cavalier Daily didn't have an issue in which to report the tragic news until Tuesday, November 29.
At Hook press time, no cause of death had been determined for Collier, who was discovered on her bedroom floor at 10am Friday, November 18 by her #3 University Court apartment-mate.
A preliminary autopsy showed no sign of foul play or underlying health conditions, and a full toxicology report will not be complete for several weeks, according to Wood.
Though Collier had transferred to UVA from Villanova just this semester, she already had 98 UVA friends listed on Facebook.com, and 200 more at schools across the country, including 60 at the Pennsylvania school.
A tan blond with a bright smile in her online photos, Collier was a onetime competitive swimmer with an interest in surgery administration and supervision. But despite such serious pursuits, she was hardly without a sense of humor.
Among her interests she cited "ruining everyone's lives and eating all of their steak." In a section titled "About Me," she said, "I always judge a book by its cover," before adding, "Kidding... I'm always kidding."
While college students are notoriously computer savvy, friends of the Collier family are also sharing their own memories and grief online.
In a virtual guest book accompanying Collier's obituary in New Jersey's The Record and Herald News, Lou-Ann Hadlock, a swimming coach, recalls Collier's "contagious laugh, deep kindness, New Jersey accent and her friendship."
"I only knew of Michelle from what her proud father had told me, but that was enough to have an appreciation for her talents, warmth, and generosity of spirit," wrote Zoe Bauwin of Highlands, New Jersey.
Collier's parents, Brian and Liz Collier, could not be reached for comment. UVA spokesperson Carol Wood says the school is working on its own plans for a memorial service.
"The death of a student," she says, "is always devastating."

TOSTES, Ana Paula. Explaining intolerance in an integrated Europe. Dados [online]. 2010, vol.5Selected edition, pp. 0-0. ISSN 0011-5258.
The article contends that Euroscepticism is a fundamental variable for a good understanding of the support for new extreme right-wing party platforms in national elections among all Western European countries. Based on voting data for parties aligned with the new far right in European national elections, the article maps the growth of extreme right parties and tests the correlation between the support for intolerance and variables pertaining to economic and social issues, perceptions, and representations. The findings provide empirical evidence to confirm that the preference for intolerance is not based on material or economic dissatisfaction, since identity is the main focus of concerns and claims in the new political cleavage that supports the new extreme right.
Palavras-chave : European Union; extreme right; Euroscepticism; European national elections.

Cubs notebook.
Former Cub Jerry Hairston Jr. joked that he nearly got into a brawl with his Texas Rangers teammates defending his former teammate, Derrek Lee. Hairston claimed Lee was one of the nicest guys in baseball, while some Rangers argued that San Diego pitcher Chris Young was one of the nicest in the game. Ironically, the disagreement came minutes after they saw Saturday's fight between Lee and Young at Wrigley Field. "Derrek is the last person I would ever think would get into a fight," Hairston said. On Monday, Lee and Young were both suspended five games by Major League Baseball for their role in the fight, which led to a benches-clearing brawl. Young hit Lee with a pitch, which Lee thought was intentional. Lee officially appealed the suspension and was able to play Tuesday night against Texas. Lee said he didn't know when the hearing for the appeal would take place, but said it would likely come in "a couple of weeks." While some believed Lee might get a harsher penalty, he's seeking a reduction in the number of games. "If you charge a mound, you get three games," Lee said. "I don't see how what I did was different." Lee was asked if he regrets the incident. "I don't like that it happened, but I don't know how else it could have been handled," he said. "Sometimes things happen. It just happened." Lee said Tuesday he still believes Young threw at him on purpose, but softened it by adding, "but I could be wrong." Manager Lou Piniella said that being without Lee for five games will be worse on the Cubs than the Padres being without Young for the same amount of games. "Losing Lee for five games is a big loss for us," Piniella said. "But when you look at a starting pitcher, he's not going to be doing all that much for four games." Perry Calls Suspension 'Weak' The only other member of the Cubs to be penalized for Saturday's skirmish was hitting coach Gerald Perry, who was hit with a three-game ban. Coaches do not have the right to an appeal. Perry started serving his penalty Tuesday. Perry maintains he was being a peacemaker when he pulled San Diego's Jake Peavy off Lee's back. Peavy was thrown out of the game and later fined, but not suspended. "Actually I think it's pretty weak," Perry said, "but I don't have any choice in the matter. I pulled the guy (Peavy) off and he didn't get anything. I got three games. I guess I should have just stood there and not felt I had to protect my player. I was trying to get the guys off Derrek's back." Mahay a Mainstay Former Shepard High School and South Suburban College standout Ron Mahay pitched for Boston, Oakland, Florida and the Cubs from 1997-2002. He was also in the San Diego organization during that time frame but did not pitch for the Padres. The left-hander, who's been with Texas since 2003, came off the disabled list Friday after suffering from a strained right oblique muscle. Heading into Tuesday's action, Mahay had a 3.57 ERA in 14 appearances. That's almost Cy Young-like on a team that had a 5.48 ERA. "It's absolutely been great here," Mahay said. "If you're left-handed you always have a shot at getting on another team. I'm very fortunate to still be around here." Mahay lives in Arizona but his parents, Ron and Pat, still reside in Crestwood. Short Hops As expected, infielder Daryle Ward was activated from the disabled list Tuesday … Right-hander Wade Miller (back, shoulder) joined the team and played catch before Tuesday night's game. He's expected to throw a bullpen session either tonight or Thursday. … Left-hander Neal Cotts, who is pitching for Triple-A Iowa, was bombed for eight runs in 4 1/3 innings Monday vs. Memphis. … Pitcher Jeff Samardzija, who was demoted briefly to the bullpen at Class A Daytona, started Monday and pitched 4 2/3 scoreless innings vs. Palm Beach. He did allow five hits and five walks. More Cubs coverage can be found online at www.dailysouthtown.com/sports.

SAN FRANCISCO—Duetto launched its latest revenue management tool, Duetto Insight, which helps hoteliers of small and limited-service hotels forecast demand and optimize pricing.
Duetto Insight aims to offer simplicity in facing complex challenges seen as a result of the proliferation of distribution channels and shorter booking windows. According to Duetto CEO Patrick Bosworth, there is a mass of data available that impacts hotel demand and by pulling in new data sets, such as web shopping, review, airline, weather and macroeconomic data, Duetto Insight offers more accurate pricing decisions.
"The traction we have experienced with larger hotels globally has been tremendous," Bosworth said. "Smaller hotels were the missing piece and have been largely ignored in terms of RMS solutions. These hoteliers were left with various life products and some garage-built application that strip out too much functionality to be useful until now."

Looking for a light weight spring season type scarf to crochet, I came across pattern for open weave mesh scarf. First I tried the pattern on some ribbon yarn my mother had brought for me, but I would have needed about two more balls to get the scarf to a long enough length. The ribbon yarn made up into a neck scarf and that may work well too. I had some lemon colored light weight acrylic yarn that I used and it gave me the longer length scarf I wanted. It does crochet up quickly. I'd like to make a few more of these mesh scarves, which I did as gifts for my two teen granddaughters – fashionable enough, right?

It's been one year since Misty Copeland leaped over barriers to become American Ballet Theatre's first black female principal dancer in the company's 75-year history.
In an interview with "Sunday Today" host Willie Geist, Copeland reflected on her history-making accomplishment and reveals the motivation behind her soon-to-be released dancewear line, Égal.
"I was aware that I was black, but I wasn't aware of the deep rooted history of the lack of diversity, the lack of African Americans in top companies," Copeland said. "It was like, it hasn't happened for 75 years. Why would it happen to me? And then, at the same time, it gave me even more of this fire that was like, 'I am carrying so many people with me and I can do this.'"
U.S. & World
Copeland has been able to forge a career outside the dance world with her trailblazing accomplishments, a rare feat for someone from the dance world. In addition to various endorsement deals and TV appearances, the 33-year-old has published two New York Times best-selling books, was the subject of a documentary, appeared on Broadway, named one of Time magazine's 100 most influential people and was recently honored with her own Barbie doll.
"I didn't expect it to be like that. It was really wild. I don't think anyone in the company or in the dance world — we were all kind of shocked," Copeland said. "But I am giving people hope that you don't have to fit into this mold of what society has cut out for you to be in order to succeed."
Having broken the ballet mold herself, Copeland is hoping to motivate dancers of all sizes with a new line of dancewear called Égal — French for equal. [[386223091, C]]
"I was going through this time where I had gained a lot of weight," she said. "I went through puberty really late in life and my bust had grown and I was like, 'I'm going to create dancewear that people who aren't stick thin can wear, but also people who are thin can wear."
Copeland says she hopes to eventually expand Égal to include a plus-size collection.
"It's finally coming to fruition," she said.
