Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Alpha: A First Look
The first alpha release of Ubuntu 8.04 (codenamed Hardy Heron) was scheduled to be released today, but the official release has been pushed back until tomorrow. However, a preliminary CD image of this first alpha release for Ubuntu 8.04 LTS has surfaced today on the Internet. While there is still seven more Ubuntu 8.04 test releases (five alphas, one beta, and one RC) planned before the final release of Hardy Heron in April, we have already started exploring this first Hardy Heron LiveCD.
While Ubuntu 8.04 LTS will receive a new theme/artwork in time for the release, the user interface freeze isn't until the end of February. This first alpha release of Hardy Heron looks pretty close to what you can see right now in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon -- Alpha 1 is still very brown. The boot screen, installer area, and other splash screens all look the same right now. On a side note, one critical item missing right now though (from the preliminary Alpha 1 LiveCD at least) is NetworkManager.
Ubuntu 8.04 Alpha 1 ships with the brand new GNOME 2.21.2, which is the latest development release in the road to the stable GNOME 2.22.
While it's expected that Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" will ship with Firefox 3.0, Alpha 1 doesn't use the Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Beta but instead is shipping with Firefox 18.104.22.168 by default. Firefox 3.0 can be installed though from an Ubuntu repository, even on Ubuntu 7.10.

A human skeleton discovered by a dog walker in a wooded, boggy area not far from Ford's Landing nearly a year ago remains a mystery despite an ongoing federal investigation.
A city man came across the skeletal remains, which included a skull, the morning of February 13 while going on a stroll not far from Franklin and Union streets. Local police initially investigated the case before passing it off to U.S. Park Police after determining the skeleton was found on federal land.
Park police went to the public for help identifying the remains last week after their efforts to match the skeleton to a known missing person turned up few results. Though medical examiners worked on the remains, authorities ended up bringing in an anthropologist to build a biological profile, said Sgt. David Schlosser, park police spokesman.
They've determined the skeleton's gender is male and was between 30 and 40 years old. He was between 5-foot-3 and 5-foot-10 and likely came from Southeast Asian ancestry, including Vietnamese, Indian, Laotian or Cambodian, Schlosser said.
He died about a year-and-a-half to two years before his remains were found, but the cause of death remains unknown.
In life, the man suffered from torticollis — wryneck. Authorities believe his head would have naturally tilted down and to the left and he might have compensated by thrusting out a shoulder. He also would have complained of neck pain.
After examining his skull, officials also discovered he had a deciduous right incisor, essentially a tooth that would have overlapped other teeth and stuck out slightly. Based on wear and tear on the bones of his lower body, authorities believe he habitually squatted.
Schlosser hopes the description will lead to someone stepping forward and possibly identifying the remains.
"Our interest is in identifying him and giving closure to his friends and family," Schlosser said. "We don't have cold cases, we have old cases. With any death investigation we want closure — for the family, most importantly."
Turning to an anthropologist for help is standard practice, especially when the remains have little or no tissue left, said Douglas Ubelaker, curator of the physical anthropology collection at the National Museum of Natural History. He's helped authorities with more than 855 cases in his career.
The first step is ensuring the remains are human and whether it's just one person or several. Then experts use a variety of tests to determine age at the time of death and gender, Ubelaker said. Ancestry is later determined by careful observation of the bones, usually of the face and skull.
To calculate the time of death, anthropologists gather as much environmental information as possible. They use those variables to determine when the body began decaying. If it's suspected the remains are much older, anthropologists might use radiocarbon dating techniques, Ubelaker said.
"It's an intellectual inquiry," he said, describing the job. "I look at this as problem-driven science. Through our training, through the work we do, we have all this science at our disposal, but there's no cookbook to it. You have to look at the evidence itself and apply the appropriate science."
Schlosser urges anyone with information about the body's identity to contact the U.S. Park Police tip line at 202-610-8737. Callers can remain anonymous.

Tropical Storm Isaac has been difficult to track, but its potential to affect Florida has caused the Republican National Convention to change its plans. Events for Monday have been canceled, though the committee will convene briefly. As Alan Greenblatt reported for It's All Politics, this is now the second-consecutive Republican National Convention to be delayed by a storm.
Update at 8:55 p.m. ET. Nomination Delayed:
The official nomination of GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney is now planned for Tuesday. Romney tweeted Saturday night:
"The safety of those in Isaac's path is of the utmost importance. I applaud those in Tampa making appropriate schedule changes."
Update at 7 p.m. ET. RNC Changes Its Schedule:
The Republican National Committee said in a statement Saturday that the Monday night session for the convention in Tampa has been canceled:
"Due to the severe weather reports for the Tampa Bay area, the Republican National Convention will convene on Monday August 27th and immediately recess until Tuesday afternoon, August 28th."
In the statement, Committee Chairman Reince Priebus says they have consulted with Gov. Rick Scott, NOAA and local emergency management officials. RNC President Bill Harris added:
"Federal, state and local officials assure us that they are prepared to respond, if needed, and the scheduling changes we are announcing today will help ensure the continued safety of all participants – our foremost concern."
Our Original Post Continues:
Overnight, the storm pounded Haiti and inundated tens of thousands of people still living in tents from the 2010 earthquake. There are reports of flooding and mudslides, and of at least three deaths, according to The Associate Press. Haitian officials are still taking stock.
So where's it going next? Isaac is starting to clip Cuba, and show later today, it will drive northwest, right over the Florida Keys. A hurricane warning is posted for the Keys and the western Florida coast south of Fort Myers. Isaac is veering away from Florida's Gulf Coast, which means Tampa, the site of next week's Republican National Convention, probably won't see a direct hit.
But no one in Tampa should feel easy. The thousands of delegates, vendors, media and protesters pouring into the city are going to feel the storm's strength. Isaac's top winds are 60 mph, and forecasters say it will strengthen into a hurricane tomorrow.
Gov. Rick Scott has declared a state of emergency for Florida.
At this time, the Hurricane Center forecasts Isaac could make landfall somewhere on the Florida panhandle. Hurricane conditions are already expected in southwestern Florida, and Tampa may fall into the hurricane warning zone. Even if hurricane-force winds don't strike the low-lying city, it's vulnerable to flooding and storm surges, Reuters notes. Roads and bridges would be closed, making it difficult and dangerous for residents (and delegates) to get around.
One person has called off his Tampa trip: Vice President Joe Biden. He was going to the city to campaign for the Democratic ticket while the Republicans prepare to nominate Mitt Romney as their presidential candidate. Citing disaster preparedness concerns, the Obama campaign postponed Biden's visit so Tampa police officials can focus on safety for residents and people attending the convention.

Five years after Ken Morganstern was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, he sat down with his daughters Priya Morganstern and Bhavani Jaroff to talk about some of the memories he had left.
At 81, he couldn't see and he needed some prompting from time to time, but family stayed strong in his memory.
He remembered that his dad was an easygoing guy, nicknamed "Happy Harry." "I had a lot of his characteristics, I think," he said.
Priya asked him if he wished he had gotten anything in life that he didn't get. "I have no regrets on anything," he responded. "I have a family that I love. And they're loving people. That's the biggest thing you can leave is a ..."
"Legacy," Bhavani said.
"Legacy, yeah."
The interview was first broadcast in 2006, and Ken died a year later. His daughters recently came back to a StoryCorps booth to talk about his legacy.
"I remember one time we stopped for a bagel and he's taking a bite and he goes, 'Who would have ever thought eating blind could be so much fun. Every bite's a surprise!' " Bhavani, now 56, says.
His daughters say they listen to the original interview often.
"I think my father had the opportunity to say what was important in his life," Bhavani says. "And it really came down to love."

As the game wore on, there was little doubt about the identity of the superior team. Which made the drama all the more compelling for a nation that loves the underdog. For a nation that for a century has been world's overdog, that's some irony. But let's not allow geopolitics to get in the way of a good story.
Into the Clink's event center, a noisy sprawl of 4,650 fans pressed together in front of a giant TV screen to bear communal witness to a sports fairy tale: The over-matched U.S. doggedly resisting an overwhelming European soccer powerhouse.
Belgium so dominated play for 90 minutes in Salvador, Brazil, that each each surge produced an industrial-strength cringe in the crowd that otherwise stood for three hours on concrete, chanting and cheering in a fashion that has made the Sounders a national phenomenon.
Their beloved Yanks also stood, bruised and bleeding, at nil-nil for 90 preposterous minutes, which advanced the contest into something of a moral victory. From there, all could imagine a deflection, or a penalty kick, or an own-goal, providing the upset.
Better yet for the Seattle crowd, Sounders captain Clint Dempsey seemed a moment away from a scoring breakthrough, while Seattle teammate DeAndre Yedlin, Robin to Dempsey's Batman, was all over the pitch, dazzling with his speed, poise and service to the box.
In extra time, the moment seemed ripe for a Yedlin cross to a Dempsey header that would put the U.S. up, followed by triumph, followed by an impromptu victory parade that would have carried off goalie Tim Howard to whatever part of Valhalla is reserved for sports warriors.
In saving 15 shots, Howard set a World Cup record and earned the undying gratitude of millions of Americans who knew nothing of soccer but realized they didn't have to know anything to appreciate a brilliant athlete delivering at the apex moment of his career for his industry and his country.
But this was not a Disney movie. This was a global-stakes, ruthless contest where sentiment was tied for last. Fourth of July parties would not come with a built-in conversation starter. Even though Howard's remarkable work seemingly could postpone indefinitely the inevitable, in the 102nd minute, Belgium's Kevin De Bruyne broke the deadlock. So was broken the tension in the events center, the exhalation palpable.
Three minutes later, Romelu Lukaku, who had just come into the match and set up De Bruyne's score, scored himself. Two-nil, Belgium, 13 minutes left. Fans began looking at watches and exit doors. It was, after all, a 90-degree Seattle day, and they were indoors.
Moments later, the air above their heads was filled with red, white and blue flags again as the most unlikely among the Americans in the Amazon, 19-year-old Julian Green, a Cup rookie who subbed in two minutes earlier, scored on his first touch after an on-the-money pass from Michael Bradley.
From depression arose fury, as the teenager — as Yedlin's substitution did earlier — seemed to reinvigorate the exhausted Americans. They pressured as they had not all afternoon, Dempsey even getting a shot that was stoned by 6-foot-6 goalie Thibaut Courtois.
The Americans' shot to tie lasted until the 120th and final minute. Then came the thud that always follows anything less than victory, this one particularly loud after four years of preparation that was sound and clever enough to get the U.S. out of the "Group of Death" round and into knockout play.
Belgium goes on to play Argentina in the quarterfinals, and the U.S. players will come home. How soon, Sigi Schmid didn't know. The Sounders coach, along with numerous players, watched the game at the events center, much more eager for a win than a return of their two teammates. But the return of Dempsey and Yedlin is the Seattle backdoor bonus of the defeat.
The Sounders play a Cascadia Cup match Saturday in Vancouver, B.C., but Schmid, a longtime veteran of the international soccer scene, sounded dubious about the participation of Dempsey and Yedlin.
"They are drained, physically and emotionally," Schmid said. "After you go through the entire World Cup experience, a loss lets the air out.
"You really feel melancholy."
Melancholy. That's the word. For three hours, Dempsey, Yedlin and their teammates and coaches, were at the center of the global universe, raging to grasp what they could not reach. And now, it's over.
The World Cup is like nothing else, including the Olympics. And when your turn is done, no matter how valiant, the void is like nothing else.

I've been messing around with the yarns that I hope, pray, intend shall at some future moment become the Fair Isle vest. I have so far produced 1) a Photoshop chart of small test patterns, and 2) most of a small swatch, which are but the primoridal protoplasmic ocean-dwelling ancestors of the finished vest.
These are to help me decide what to do and, more importantly given my dismal track record as a colorist, what not to do.
Here's what I've figured out so far about color:
- In the palette of yarns I have darks and brights. Within the darks and brights, the colors divide themselves about equally into browns and blues.
- Patterns made entirely with browns look dull and mushy.
- Patterns made entirely with blues look gaudy and mushy.
- Patterns that mix the browns and blues have a nice jig to them. Since the plan is for bright patterns on dark grounds, the finished motifs should be bright blues on dark browns, or bright browns on dark blues.
- I thought after the recent spate of socks, lace class swatches, pence jugs, teeny oranges, and that frigging lace-weight Victorian nightcap that it would make a nice change to work on something heavier, like a sweater vest. And after a couple of experiments, it's clear that this thing will have to be worked on a US 3 (3.25 mm) circular. My biggest piece of in-progress lace is on a US4 (3.5 mm). Oh, the irony.
- The swatch is still on the needles, so I haven't definitively measured the gauge, but it looks to be somewhere in the region of 8.5 stitches/inch. I have never been so happy to be so short.
- The test patterns are far too small to read effectively at a fine gauge, so I'll have to spend many more hours playing with charts in Photoshop–and then do more swatching. I am so vibrantly excited about this that I know I will never again be able to roll my eyes at anyone whose idea of a good time involves Star Trek trivia, golf or computer code.
Going to Carolina
I'm tickled to bits to announce that arrangements have been made for a trip to North Carolina. On Saturday, February 21 from 5:30-7 p.m. there will be a talk/signing/reception at Yarns, Etc. in Chapel Hill; and on Sunday, February 22 from 9 a.m. to noon I'll be teaching "How to Photograph Your Fiber" at Great Yarns in Raleigh. The class is a repeat of the session that was such a hoot at Purl Diva back in December. For complete information, click here.

Meconium Aspiration
What is meconium aspiration?
Meconium aspiration occurs when a baby breathes in amniotic fluid containing meconium (the baby's first stools).
What causes meconium aspiration?
Before or during labor, the fetus sometimes passes the meconium stool into the amniotic fluid. It is not clearly understood why this happens. It may be a natural event, but it is also thought to be related to fetal distress in some babies. When the thick meconium mixes into the amniotic fluid, it is swallowed and breathed into the airway of the fetus. As the baby takes the first breaths at delivery, meconium particles enter the airway and can be aspirated (inhaled) deep into the lungs.
Who is affected by meconium aspiration?
Meconium is passed into the amniotic fluid in about 10 percent of births. It usually occurs in babies born at term (37 to 41 weeks) or post-term (after 42 weeks).
Why is meconium aspiration a concern?
Meconium particles in the amniotic fluid can block small airways and prevent the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide after birth. Some babies have immediate respiratory distress and have to be resuscitated at birth. Others develop respiratory distress within a few hours.
Some babies with meconium aspiration need a mechanical ventilator (breathing machine) because of the difficulty breathing. The plugged airways may cause air to be trapped and leak into the tissues in and around the lungs. Infection can also occur causing pneumonia. Although the condition often improves within a few days, severe meconium aspiration, and the respiratory problems it causes, may lead to death in a small number of babies.
What are the symptoms of meconium aspiration?
Meconium in the amniotic fluid gives the fluid a greenish color. This is called meconium staining. Babies who have been exposed to meconium in the amniotic fluid for a long time may have yellowed skin and nails.
The following are the most common symptoms of meconium aspiration. However, each baby may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
Rapid breathing
Retractions (pulling in of the chest wall)
Grunting sounds with breathing
Cyanosis (blue coloring)
Overdistended chest because of trapped air
The symptoms of meconium aspiration may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your baby's doctor for a diagnosis.
How is meconium aspiration diagnosed?
The presence of meconium in the amniotic fluid is key to the diagnosis. A chest X-ray also helps diagnose meconium aspiration. X-rays are a diagnostic test that uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones, and organs onto film.
Treatment for meconium aspiration
Specific treatment for meconium aspiration will be determined by your child's doctor based on the following:
The amount and thickness of the meconium
The length of time the baby was exposed
The degree of respiratory distress
At delivery, treatment may include:
Suctioning of the upper airways (nose, mouth, and throat)
Suctioning of the lower airways through an endotracheal tube (ET) placed in the windpipe, although this is not recommended routinely unless it is necessary
Supplemental oxygen given by face mask or mechanical ventilator
Prevention of meconium aspiration
Early identification of meconium aspiration is essential to preventing severe aspiration problems. A technique called amnioinfusion is sometimes used during labor with meconium-stained amniotic fluid. This procedure uses a small tube inserted into the uterus through the vagina. Sterile fluid is then infused through the tube to help dilute the thick meconium.

Your job as a driver
Your job as a bus or coach driver is to provide a smooth, safe journey for your passengers. There may be times when you can't maintain the timetable or schedule due to events outside your control, but you should not compromise the safety of your passengers.
Be courteous when dealing with them. Look people in the eye when you issue tickets and give a smile. Give your passengers time to get seated, help them if they are unfamiliar with the service and when you stop, stop close to the kerb. Common courtesy will ensure repeat business and customer satisfaction.
A bus driver must not drive while issuing tickets, the doors are open, or giving change. On regular services, traffic congestion can soon put you behind schedule. Nevertheless, you have a responsibility to your passengers at all times not to take shortcuts or jeopardise their safety. They are paying you for a service which must always deliver them safely to their destination.
Passenger comfort
Smooth acceleration and braking not only improve passenger comfort but also create less wear and tear on the bus and improve fuel economy. Large vehicles are more stable in a straight line under gentle acceleration. If you accelerate sharply passengers will be thrown backwards in the bus. If passengers are still in the aisle when you pull away because the bus is full and there's standing room only, do so gently. Or wait for all passengers to be seated otherwise you can cause injury.
Braking sharply will throw passengers forward. When approaching hazards or bus stops you should always be aware of what your passengers are doing – they might have got out of their seats early. Late, harsh braking as they leave their seats can take passengers by surprise and cause them to fall over, possibly injuring themselves or others. Plan well ahead so that you can brake smoothly and in time. For example, if you see a green light ahead in the distance there's a chance it will be red by the time you get there, so adjust your speed so that you don't have to brake sharply.
Taking a bend too fast will throw passengers sideways towards the outside of the bend. This makes the bus more unstable which makes steering through the bend more difficult. Passengers are most likely to notice weight transfer when braking or going around corners.
Young and old passengers are most at risk of falling on a bus, and older passengers are most at risk of being injured if they fall. Older passengers may leave their seats early because they don't want to hold you up at the bus stop.
A bus driver is responsible for the safety of passengers on board. Anyone standing on an open platform is at risk should the driver have to brake suddenly or take a corner at speed.
If you pull up to a bus stop and the stop is blocked with another bus, you can stop behind the bus ahead however, before you open the doors you must check for traffic to the left, especially if you have not been able to park near the kerb. Watch for cyclists riding up the nearside. Many newer buses have an additional mirror that allows you to see the position of your front wheel in relation to the nearside kerb.
An air suspension system gives a more comfortable ride to passengers and an even height, as well as reducing the wear on road surfaces – it's also called 'road-friendly suspension'.
Use interior lights at night so that passengers can move around safely if they need to – don't leave the interior in darkness. If there are no passengers you can turn off the interior lights.
Passengers with disabilities and difficulties travelling
Priority seating on buses is designed for passengers with disabilities. All buses and coaches since 2000 must be accessible to people with disabilities. If a disabled passenger is getting on the bus and they tell you that they can board without assistance then you don't need to give them assistance. Give them their independence and dignity even if it takes a few seconds longer. If they say they can manage but are obviously having problems, smile and ask what you can do to help them.
A passenger with a white cane with a red ring painted on it has visual and auditory impairments. Be prepared to ask if they need help should they appear to be struggling. When dealing with passengers with hearing difficulties it's important you look at them when you are talking to them.
Passengers that have difficulty walking should be allowed to sit down before you move away from the bus stop.
Kneeling buses are designed to make it easier for elderly passengers and those who have difficulty walking to get on and off. These are hydraulic systems that lower the suspension so that the entrance to the bus is level with the kerb. Don't forget to raise the bus again before you drive off.
This video shows a kneeling bus that has a wheelchair ramp, too
If a passenger in a wheelchair wants to access the bus you should only refuse them access if the boarding device fails to work. Don't risk the health and safety of a person with a disability, or other passengers, by struggling to get them on without the proper equipment. Only someone trained in the operation of the boarding device should use it.
When driving
As the driver of a one-person-operated double-deck bus you should be constantly aware of passengers on the top deck by using the internal mirror system so that you can see when passengers are about to descend the stairs.
If you are driving a double-deck bus, be aware of roads with a steep camber or high crown (i.e. where the centre of the road is much higher than the edge). A road which has a steep camber will slope sharply towards the kerb. You must be aware of the dangers this can present. The nearside wheels will be lower than the offside causing your bus to lean towards the pavement or verge. This brings a risk of collision with objects such as overhanging trees, lamp posts, shop awnings, road signs and bus stop roofs.
When driving excursions you may come across narrow roads with passing bays. Be careful of your vehicle's length in these bays.
Be careful also when pulling away if your bus or coach has a high seating position as it means you will have less visibility of objects in front of you and to your sides. You can open your window and look down the side of your bus when pulling away to the right.
Reversing warning bleepers
If your coach is fitted with reversing warning bleepers, don't use them between 11:30pm and 7am in areas with a 30mph restriction. You will still need to be continuously looking around as you reverse.
Rules and regulations
It's legal to drive an empty, half-cab double-deck bus, but the passenger access must have a chain or strap to prevent any passengers jumping on board while you're stationary or waiting in traffic queues. You must not carry any passengers unless there's a responsible person on board to supervise.
If there's TV and video equipment fitted to a coach it can only be used when it can't be seen by the driver.
If seatbelts are fitted in your bus or coach passengers must wear them at all times.
In hot weather you are not permitted to ride with your doors open. Many vehicles have air-operated doors which close automatically when the clutch is released. Do not override this set-up. An open door invites people to make rash decisions to enter or leave the vehicle as you are about to move away, which can be extremely dangerous.
Safety when embarking and disembarking
As you move away from the kerb, be careful of passengers who may try to board the bus. Before pulling away, check your mirrors for potential passengers who may be running for the bus. Also be aware of passengers who might try to get off the bus as you move away.
To avoid passengers jumping off or on the bus while it is moving, wait until you have stopped until you open the doors. Passengers may be in a hurry to get off at their stop. Don't brake harshly or open the doors until the vehicle has stopped. Passengers may have left their seats early and be standing up waiting to get off. Due to the necessary fittings on board, such as handrails, poles and luggage racks, there's a substantial risk of injury. Put your passengers' safety first.
If you are parking at a resort where passengers will still have access you need to ensure that the cab area is isolated and that there is a responsible person on the coach to assist passengers.
School buses
Buses and coaches used for school contract work must have yellow reflective signs. These alert other drivers that when the bus is stopped children could dash across in front of traffic. When you are dropping off or picking up school children you can use your hazard warning lights to warn other drivers.
When driving a school bus you must avoid all physical contact with the school children unless in a medical emergency, in self-defence or in order to prevent a serious offence or threat to safety.
To work out the weight of your bus, around 15 passengers equals one tonne, although you will need to judge this based on the size of your passengers. With the obesity epidemic it could easily be closer to 10 passengers. You must also make an allowance for any luggage brought on board. Luggage for 50 passengers on a coach could easily reach 1.5 tonnes.
A full bus with 75 passengers could be 5 tonnes or more heavier than an empty bus.
The unladen weight of your vehicle will be written on the side. Some weight restrictions apply to large goods vehicles (LGVs) only and not to passenger carrying vehicles (PCVs). Look out for a plate beneath a restriction sign that indicates this. Road signs show weight restrictions in various ways, and you should make yourself familiar with all of them, so that you're in no doubt about their meaning and relevance.
Emergencies and equipment failures
If your bus breaks down on the motorway, stop on the hard shoulder and move passengers to the front of the bus in case the bus is hit from behind. The same applies if you break down on a normal road: move the passengers to the front.
The location of the first aid equipment, fuel cutoff device and fire extinguisher must be clearly marked in the bus.
This video shows you how ferociously a bus fire can burn.
If there's a fire in the upper deck of your bus you should first stop safely, then get everyone off the bus, then contact emergency services.
If passengers complain of exhaust fumes in the vehicle you need to stop and rectify the situation as the fumes are toxic and, as well as being unpleasant, will cause a danger to passengers.
Bell codes
There are accepted bell codes for use in a bus. Don't let anyone use them improperly.
- Four bell rings indicate that someone on the bus considers an emergency situation has occurred. As the driver, you must stop the vehicle safely, with consideration for your passengers, before investigating further.
- Three bell rings means your vehicle is full.
- Two bells means move off when it is safe.
Speed limiters
Your bus or coach might be fitted with a speed limiter. If it is, the speed will be noted in the driver's cab. If you are the driver of a 1996 bus the speed limiter will be set to 62mph (100kph).
Bus lanes
Bus lanes are lanes specifically for buses and any other vehicles specified, for example, cycles and motorcycles or vehicles with a certain number of occupants or more.
Watch for signs for bus lanes as they will tell you when they can be exclusively used by buses and when not. As a local service bus driver you may use the bus lane at any time. The restrictions apply to other road users to keep it clear for you at peak times. Don't be tempted to speed when driving up the inside of slow-moving or stationary traffic. Be alert for pedestrians who may be trying to cross the road.
This shows a with-flow bus lane that can be used by taxis and cycles.

Easter Sunday is a busy time for many Christian churches. And for one Florida church, "busy" only begins to describe it. The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe has no permanent members, but it will host tens of thousands of worshippers today.
That's because the church is across the street from Walt Disney World. The main basilica was built in the early 1990s, to give visitors to the resort complex a place to worship. As , Mary, Queen of the Universe Shrine is not a parish church.
The shrine is holding eight Easter Masses today; the first began at 7:30 this morning, and the last will begin at 6 tonight. To handle the large crowds, the basilica is using an overflow tent that can hold 1,000 people.
From Orlando, Amy Kiley of member station reports:
"The Basilica of the National Shrine of Mary, Queen of the Universe hosts about 35,000 Catholics on Easter Sunday — and none are church members.
"Tourists started the ministry at Disney World before funding the basilica. Director of Operations Gina Schwiegerath says the shrine needs a tent for overflow crowds.
" 'People from all over the world, all over the nation, gather together in one place, and for that hour, you're not people from all over the world,' Schwiegerath says. 'We're a Catholic community sharing in the Body of Christ, which is amazing.'
"The church and tent have about 3,700 seats. Still, nearly 1,800 people stand during the busiest Easter Masses."
The shrine's complex has grown over the years; the property includes a gift shop, in addition to a museum and gardens.

Not too long after I last made fajitas I came across this recipe for fajita burgers on Good Life Eats which sounded really good. I always enjoy playing around with different flavours or themes for burgers and I particularly liked the sound of a tasty texmex burger topped with tender sauteed onions and peppers. With the days starting to get cooler, it was time to get the burgers in and this weekend I got the chance to make them.
These burgers start out with all beef patties that are flavoured with salsa, taco seasoning and a healthy does of fresh cilantro which I covered with slices of pepper jack cheese that were added just at the end of cooking. Next up was the sauteed onions and peppers which I flavoured with even more taco seasoning . At this point the burgers are good to go but you don't have to stop there as you can easily add any of your favourite fajita or taco fillings and I went with some roasted tomatillo and avocado salsa . Luckily corn is still in season and I served the burgers with some fresh corn on the cob topped with cilantro lime butter.
Fajita Burgers
Tasty all beef burgers served fajita style with sauteed onions and peppers and your fajita toppings of choice.
- 1 pound medium ground beef
- 1 tablespoon taco seasoning or 1/2 package of store bought

- Brush the patties with oil, place on grill and cook until golden brown and slightly charred, about 3-5 minutes per side.
- Set aside, cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile heat the oil in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Add the onions and peppers and saute until tender, about 4-7 minutes.
- Mix in the taco seasoning and water and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
- Assemble burgers with condiments of choice and enjoy!

Nearly every major poll indicates that the top issues for voters are jobs and the economy. Making the wealthy pay more in income taxes? Not so much, at least according to a new USA Today/Gallup poll.
An excerpt from Gallup:
"Creating good jobs, reducing corruption in the federal government, and reducing the federal budget deficit score highest when Americans rate 12 issues as priorities for the next president to address. Americans assign much less importance to increasing taxes on wealthy Americans and dealing with environmental concerns."
In fact, higher taxes for the rich was given the lowest priority of the dozen issues, Gallup reports.
Respondents rated "extremely important" the following issues: "creating good jobs" (48 percent of resondents); "reducing corruption in the federal government" (45 percent); "reducing the federal budget deficit" (44 percent); "dealing with terrorism and other international threats" (42 percent).
After a number of other issues, it jumps down to "dealing with environmental concerns, such as global warming," (21 percent). The same percentage — 21 percent — cited "increasing taxes on wealthy Americans" as an extremely important issue.
The poll would seem to indicate that the fairness arguments made by President Obama and his campaign aren't top concerns for voters.
What's really striking about the poll results is that not only was this true of voters in the aggregate but of self-identified Obama voters, too.
Among Obama supporters, only 32 percent said raising taxes on the wealthy should be a top priority of the next president. That also put it dead last on the list of 12 issues among that demographic.
The top issue in terms of presidential priorities for self-identified Obama supporters was available and affordable health care, at 50 percent. Jobs, better public schools and safeguarding Social Security and Medicare tied at 48 percent.
Meanwhile, cutting federal deficits was viewed as the top priority for the next president by 51 percent of the respondents who described themselves as supporters of Republican Mitt Romney. Job creation was next at 48 percent and reducing federal government corruption and dealing with terrorism were tied at 45 percent.
So why does Obama keep talking about raising tax rates on the wealthy when even most of his supporters, according to Gallup, don't see that as among the top priorities for the next president?
A possible answer is that in an election that's expected to be very close, every voter matters. Clearly, there are a number of voters in Obama's base who do believe higher taxes for the wealthy is a priority.
So a message that appeals to those voters could prove important in getting to victory. So long as it doesn't turn off enough other voters.

Now streaming on:
Many, if not all, of the reviews for "Tiger Tail in Blue" will no doubt cite it as a an example of "mumblecore," the cinematic sub-genre that was briefly the rage among certain cinephiles a few years ago. It embraced minuscule production values and largely improvised storylines as part of a DIY aesthetic that was meant to return the increasingly bland and complacent world of American independent film back to its scruffy roots.
Although the format did at times inspire some impressive work — the best perhaps being "Tiny Furniture," the brilliant 2010 film from then-unknown Lena Dunham, made prior to her equally great HBO series "Girls" — most of the films that emerged were largely intolerable exercises in self-indulgence marked by annoying characters, narratives that failed to go anywhere or say anything and the increasingly intolerable presence of Greta Gerwig, who inexplicably became a mainstay of the genre until alighting for the greener pastures of the "Arthur" (2011) remake.
As a result, the invocation of the word "mumblecore" may wind up repelling more viewers than it attracts. That would be a shame because this Chicago-produced feature from writer-director Frank V. Ross is infinitely more interesting and watchable than most of its lo-fi brethren and fully deserving of the praise that it has already received in indie film circles.
The film co-stars Ross and Rebecca Spence as Christopher and Melody, a recently married couple struggling to keep their heads above water in uncertain economic times. Christopher fancies himself a writer and spends his days banging away at his first novel (though the excerpts we hear are not especially inspiring and, indeed, he seems to put more enthusiasm into preparing his lunch than into the creative process) while working nights at a local restaurant. The more responsible Melody spends her days working as a teacher and her nights grading papers, struggling to stay awake long enough to spend a little time with Christopher when he finally comes home.
The two love each other but their relationship is clearly strained by their circumstances. Melody in particular is growing increasingly frustrated by being forced to shoulder an unequal share of their monetary burden because of her more stable job (which she also fears may not be that stable after all) and by Christopher's apparent unwillingness to commit himself to either his writing or steadier employment. Christopher seems more interested in a low-key flirtation with co-worker Brandy (also played, for the most part — you'll see — by Spence) that finds him lingering later and later after work, further exacerbating the situation at home with Melody.
On the surface, "Tiger Tail in Blue" does not sound appreciably different from most mumblecore movies but it turns out to have much more going for it than a blessed lack of Gerwig. Unlike most films of this type, which tend to feel like a series of failed improv exercises strung together, Ross's screenplay provides viewers with a narrative that has drive and purpose, dialogue that manages to be cleverly constructed while still sounding like what people might actually say in real life and characters who remain interesting to watch even in their less likable moments. (In terms of illustrating the ups and downs of relationships, I would personally take any random scene from this film over the entirety of a gibberish like "This is 40.")
Director Ross does an impressive job quietly and effectively capturing all the circumstances surrounding Christopher and Melody, ranging from their constant teetering on an economic tightrope to the grim, bone-chilling cold that one experiences while waiting for the Metra train to arrive on a frigid winter morning.
As actors, both Ross and Spence have difficult tasks to achieve — he has to create sympathy for a character that many viewers might want to slap silly for his aggressive passive-aggressiveness; she has to pull off a dual role without having it come across simply as a stunt or an odd homage to the Luis Bunuel classic "That Obscure Object of Desire." Both succeen beautifully, creating one of the more convincing couples to grace the big screen in a while. (Spence is so good that it may take some viewers a few moments to realize that she is playing both Melody and, save for a couple of key scenes, Brandy.)
The only real problem with "Tiger Tail in Blue" is that, despite its virtues, it may not be the kind of film that draws audiences in droves on a chilly January night. After all, it doesn't have any recognizable faces, it doesn't traffic in familiar clichés or easy resolutions and it deals with the kind of difficult personal and professional issues that most people go to the movies to get away from for a couple of hours.
For viewers who demand such things from their cinematic entertainments, there are plenty of films out there offering simplistic stories, crude humor, mindless action and the sight of Russell Crowe delivering a painfully off-key and atonal performance (and that is just in "Broken City"). However, some moviegoers still cherish the chance to experience the work of new and intriguing voices who don't follow the established rules of commercial cinema. For those hardy people, "Tiger Tail in Blue" is worth seeking out.
Frank V. Ross will be appearing at the Gene Siskel Film Center for audience discussions following both screenings.

EPDM rubberised surfaces are available in a number of different colours making it a great choice for young children. The soft play surface can also be installed in different depths.
If you have high play equipment on the area, you will need to have wet pour installed in a thicker depth to make sure the surfacing is safe for young people. EPDM coloured graphics may be installed to allow for games and activities to be played. These are often installed on plain backgrounds to make the area more fun for the kids.
This specialist safety flooring is constructed using a 2 layer system which creates the best durability and impact absorption. The first layer will be the SBR shockpad which works as an impact mat. This base course was designed to support youngsters while using the surface in the event that they trip or fall. The next part will be the EPDM rubber crumb wearing course that's set up on top of the SBR shock mat.
This top-level is usually specified to be various colours to give your establishment the individuality, or you could just choose simple black.

Play area maintenance is designed to ensure that any contaminants on the surfacing are removed and also managed to prevent any more problems from developing.
The easiest method to clear off any kind of deep set debris from a wet pour surface is to use a jet washer and brush. Due to the EPDM rubber system being totally permeable water is able to pass straight through which helps to reduce flooding on the area.
Regular upkeep helps to maintain this porosity, because debris and contaminants obstruct the tiny holes inside the flooring, stopping water from being able to get through.
This could make the facility hazardous as it might result in slips and falls. Regular maintenance should be enough to keep the flooring in top condition. However, if there are any major areas of damage, our EPDM flooring specialists offer a repair service or a DIY repair kit to fix these issues.

"Junie Beatrice Jones or "Junie B." as she is called for short, is an innocent, spirited five- to six-year-old American girl". So what ???
Because she is what I am reading these days, I mean "she" as in about her, books where she is the main character. You see Big Sis S's kindergarten teacher very happy with her reading skills offered to get her some books from her own childhood collection. Had it been my teacher from my childhood I would have carried home books about Mahatma Gandhi or Aesop's fables and made Mom happy. But of course S's teacher is not same and got her a "Junie B. Jones" instead.
All was well, nice school story, the kind I was fond of, I thought, until S asked "what is pasketti?" That word sounded so wrong that I read the entire book in one go. Truth be told, it was funny. But the English, it was absurd. The book was strewn with words like "flied", "bestest", "runned" and so on and so forth. Apparently the little girl(the character Junie) being a kindergartner has not got her grammar right yet and so the book uses her kind of language. That is very well for a Mom my age but what does a kindergartner reading such English do ? I had to constantly tell S all the verbs that were wrong in the book to not mess her up. This series is a very popular kid's series and I really have no clue why they would use wrong English if it is meant for an age group whose language needs to be enriched.
Trying to be "the cool" Mom, who doesn't care for such frivolities I haven't told S's teacher about my concerns and so she has given S 2 more from the series.
Couple of days back S shyly told D that Junie B. has a boyfriend. The Dad panicked, I could see it on his face. He was imagining boys, tattoo on their fore arm and misshapen shorts rising low on the hips, knocking his door. And then he told her what my Ma used to tell me at 15. He said "That must be just a boy who is a friend, like you have R & A and T in your class". Smirk, smirk.
I am desperately trying to be "the cool" Mom here but honestly why does a kindergartner need a boyfriend and a current as well as an ex and also why do phrases like this "new Thelma (a naïve girl whom Junie B.'s boyfriend Ricardo always chases)" have to be in a children's book.
Maybe I will just be un-cool and give S's teacher a "Suitable Boy" instead.
Books which S can read and I have liked so far are The Magic Tree House and The Rainbow Fairies(Thanks Chox). Any more suggestions for 5-7 year old readers ?
And now to the Ilish Bhaape or Bhapa Ilish aka Steamed Hilsa. The dish I had talked about in my earlier post, the signature Bengali Ilish dish which has to be on all important menus when Ilish is in season. Hilsa steeped in a pungent mustard sauce steamed to perfection with a liberal dousing of mustard oil is a sensuous experience. There are two ways of doing this, actually 3, in the pressure cooker like my Mom, in a steamer and in the oven.
I usually don't do this if I don't get Ilish which hasn't been frozen too long which is rare. It tastes best with fresh Hilsa. The oven version of this recipe goes very well with salmon too. Also I heard Herring tastes close to Hilsa so you can try this recipe with salmon or Herring if you don't get Ilish/Hilsa. Shad fish in North America has a taste close to Hilsa too.
The fish roe(macher dim) is a delicacy enjoyed by the Bongs and Hilsa roe is much coveted. This time around I mixed Hilsa roe with little chickpea flour and green chili and then fried them in mustard oil.

Step 1: The Paste and the sauce
Make Sorshe Bata or Mustard paste.
Soak 2 tbsp Mustard seeds(Shorshe) + 2 tsp Poppy seeds(Posto) + 3-4 hot Green Chilli in less than 1/2 cup of water for 30-60 minutes
Grind the above with little salt to make a thick mustard paste or shorshe bata Note: Some of my friends do not use Posto or Poppy seeds for the paste. Instead they add a little grated coconut.
In a bowl add the above mustard paste + 1 heaped tsp Yogurt + 2 tsp Mustard Oil + 1/4 tsp Turmeric powder + 1/4 tsp Red Chili Powder(optional) + salt to taste. Mix well. This is the mustard sauce you will use for the fish. Quick Tip: If you have a bottle of Kasundi, add 1-2 tsp of Kasundi to the mustard paste that you have made. This lends an awesome taste.
Step 2: The Fish
Wash and clean 5-6 pieces of Hilsa/Ilish cut in steak size pieces.
Step 3: Bringing it together 2 ways
Way 1 -- In the oven
Smear an oven safe bowl with little mustard oil. Place the fish pieces in the bowl in one single layer. Pour the prepared mustard sauce over it so that it covers all the fish pieces nicely. Add 3- 4 slit green chili on the top and drizzle 1 tsp or more of Mustard Oil on them
Cover the bowl with an aluminum foil. Put this bowl in a bigger tray with 2" of water like a water bath. Bake at 375F bake for 25-30 minutes
Serve hot with rice. Does not taste that great if stored and served later.
Way 2 -- In the pressure cooker
Smear an pressure cooker safe bowl with little mustard oil. Place the fish pieces in the bowl in one single layer. Pour the prepared mustard paste or sauce over it so that it covers all the fish pieces nicely. Add 4 slit green chili on the top and 1 tsp or more of Mustard Oil on them
Cook in pressure cooker for 2-3 whistles. Here is a pressure cooker version.
Note on making Mustard Paste: When I didn't have a small wet grinder to make my mustard paste I used to dry grind the seeds in my coffee grinder and then mix the dry powder with a little vinegar, salt, and green chillies and keep for an hour or so to prevent the bitterness. My current wet grinder(Magic Bullet) serves the purpose much better and makes a nice smooth paste with green chillies, and salt
Quick Tip: If you have a bottle of Kasundi, add 1-2 tsp of Kasundi to the mustard paste that you have made. This lends an awesome taste
Trivia: Hilsa is an oily fish rich in Omega 3 fatty acids

WASHINGTON (AP) — A secretive U.S. spy court has ruled again that the National Security Agency can keep collecting every American's telephone records every day, in the midst of dueling decisions in two other federal courts about whether the surveillance program is constitutional.
The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on Friday renewed the NSA phone collection program, said Shawn Turner, a spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Such periodic requests are somewhat formulaic but required since the program started in 2006.
The latest approval was the first since two conflicting court decisions about whether the program is lawful and since a presidential advisory panel recommended that the NSA no longer be allowed to collect and store the phone records and search them without obtaining separate court approval for each search.
In a statement, Turner said that 15 judges on the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court on 36 occasions over the past seven years have approved the NSA's collection of U.S. phone records as lawful.
Also Friday, government lawyers turned to U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to block one federal judge's decision that threatens the NSA phone records program.
The opposing lawyer who spearheaded the effort that led to the ruling said he hopes to take the issue directly to the Supreme Court.
The Justice Department filed a one-page notice of appeal asking the appeals court to overturn U.S. District Judge Richard Leon's ruling last month that the program was likely unconstitutional. The government's move had been expected.
Larry Klayman, who filed the class-action suit against President Barack Obama and top administration national security officials, said he intends to petition the federal appeals court next week to send the case directly to the Supreme Court. Klayman said the move was justified because the NSA case was a matter of great public importance.
"There are exigent circumstances here," Klayman said. "We can't allow this situation to continue. The NSA's continuing to spy on everybody."
Turner said U.S. intelligence agencies would be willing to modify the phone records surveillance program to provide additional privacy and civil liberties protections as long as it was still operationally beneficial. He said the Obama administration was carefully evaluating the advisory panel's recent recommendations.
Judges sitting on the secretive spy court have repeatedly approved the program for 90-day periods. They also have repeatedly upheld the constitutionality of the program — a judicial bulwark that held strong until Leon's surprise decision last month.
Leon said the NSA's program was "almost Orwellian," a reference to writer George Orwell's futuristic novel "1984," and that there was little evidence the operation had prevented terrorist attacks. He ruled against the government but agreed to postpone shutting down the program until the government could appeal.
In a separate case involving the same NSA phone records program, a district judge in New York last month upheld the government's data collection as lawful. The American Civil Liberties Union, which lost that case, said this week it will appeal to a federal appeals court in New York.
