Apparently, while members of the PIKE house were eating in the dining room, the woman entered the frat's living room, took off her clothes and started masturbating. Fraternity members asked the woman to leave the house, but she refused and continued masturbating for about half an hour according to the fraternity's president.
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Time out. Before we move on with the facts of this story, couple...questions here. First of all, they asked her to leave?! As in put your clothes on and stop?? They didn't make her a little sister on the spot? Or call national, say thanks and ask why they just won chapter of the year? Second...
A half an hour?!?! So let me see if I understand this correctly: an entire group of fraternity brothers couldn't remove one naked, masturbating girl from their fraternity house for 30 minutes?! Yeah, those guys must have really laid down the law and demanded she "leave" pronto: "Ok, I'm telling you for the last time - Get the hell out of here...if you want to. When you're finished. In another 15 to 20 minutes. Unless you need more time. Do you understand me?!"
Well done, boys. Well done.
Ok, back to the details of this "case"...
When the PIKE brothers asked the girl if she was alright, she "casually" replied she was fine, kept masturbating and even started talking on her cellphone at one point. She eventually left wearing only a thigh-length black coat after a fraternity member called the police. However, the woman had already disappeared when police arrived minutes later (or what authorities are calling the fasted recorded response time in the history of the Ann Arbor PD).
Uh, hold on. Hold on. With more details come more questions. Such as...
Just how fucking ugly was this girl for a group of college fraternity brothers to first ask her to please stop masturbating in their fraternity house and, when she refuses, they call the police on this predator?!
Okay, more facts...
According to the police report, the woman was between 20 and 30 years old, had short brown hair and appeared to be under the influence of drugs.
"Obviously, she was very disturbed," said PIKE president Dan Nye. "It was not how a normal person would respond to people."
I agree. Until I read the more about the police report...
The woman told fraternity members that her name was Melissa and she was a student at Eastern Michigan University.
EMU? Ahhhh, finally, a few things about this "horrific crime" are starting to make some sense.
But the most shocking thing about this case (that surely must be terrorizing fraternity row in Ann Arbor) is revealed at the end of the Daily story when Nye reports that his fraternity will throw out two couches in the living room of the PIKE house because of the incident.
Uh...come again?
Now folks, I think this definitely answers any questions about how, shall we say, not-beautiful this EMU "vandal" was. Because I've been in many fraternity houses over the years. The halls reek of musty, decades old booze from keggers past. The carpeting often smells of urine mixed with a variety of other bodily fluids. And even if the entire pledge class vomits all over their couches, they usually just flip over the cushions.
So if a college fraternity threw out their couches after a single girl was masturbating on them, I think it's safe to say the, uh, "manhunt" in Ann Arbor is focused on finding one butt fugly chick.
Not to get all Columbo here but, uh, one final question that has me baffled, gentleman...
In this day and age when there's more footage of a fading comic's racial slur than a presidential assassination just two generations ago, where are the cellphone pictures? And how come a video clip of this "vicious attack" wasn't posted on YouTube within 20 minutes? I'm just saying.
ED. NOTE: If any of our MZone readers are members of the PIKE house, for the love of all that is good in the world, please drop us a line.
UPDATE: This is why Benny and I love our readers. EL sends us the picture below he got from a buddy of the alleged PIKE perp leaving the house (which we've added a little text to)...
Now, naturally Benny and I are going to send this over to the MZone forensics lab for further testing but upon an initial, cursory inspection, I don't know if she's "couch thrower" material. I mean, maybe a La-Z-Boy or two. Possibly a futon. But two couches? Damn.
Just like the admissions standards, the bar for who fraternities want masturbating inside their houses has really been raised at Michigan since my day.
And as thousands of men across America continue to squint away at the picture above and curse the low resolution of cellphone cameras, we now return you to your regularly scheduled blog.

In terms of toughness and durability, laminates can compete with the most celebrated natural flooring products. Industry professionals recommend laminate flooring to homeowners. Despite being lightweight, high quality laminates can be used for many years. Most consumers believe that thickness is the main determinant of the toughness and quality of laminate flooring. Allow us to shed light on this matter based on what experts think.
Is thickness a function of durability?
The thickness The Pros and Cons of Pergo Flooring Put in Bay OH 43456 of laminate planks is measured in millimeters. The measurement starts from the bottom surface resting on the subfloor and stops at the top edge. Experts on flooring materials believe that the durability of a laminate product is not solely dependent on thickness. The implication is that a thicker product is not necessarily stronger than a laminate product that is much thinner.
Instead of thickness, consumers must look to the type of laminate. Put in Bay OH 43456 Is it HPL or DPL? There are fundamental differences between the two. HPL stands for High Pressure Laminate consists of at least five layers. Meanwhile, DPL or Direct Pressure Laminate has four layers only. HPL products are more hardy than DPL products not because they have more layers. It is the manufacturing process and the quality of the laminate's core that makes High Pressure Laminate products stronger than Direct Pressure Laminate Cleaning Laminate Floors Without Streaking Put in Bay OH 43456 Products.
What are the advantages of thicker laminates?
There are a few advantages of thicker laminate flooring planks over thinner ones. First, thicker laminates are less likely to warp and change shape when exposed to water or excess moisture. Second, thicker laminates with good quality fiberboard can hold up over time and endure forces that may cause thinner products to give in to wear and tear. A 12-mm thick laminate is the best Put in Bay OH 43456 bet if the materials used are certified high quality. If the quality of embossing is outstanding as well, then you get good value for your money with thicker laminate planks for your home.
Other indicators of laminate quality
Laminate products are given AC or Abrasion Class ratings, which were developed by the European Producers of Laminate Flooring. Essentially, it is measure of the durability of the laminate flooring material. It is currently the Put in Bay OH 43456 gold standard used in the industry worldwide. The AC rating evaluates very specific parameters in order to determine whether the laminate flooring product is suitable. The rating determines whether the laminate is applicable to residential or commercial applications. The product is evaluated in term of resistance to impact, burns, standing liquids, abrasions, moisture, and stains.
There are five possible ratings. Laminate products with a rating of AC1 is ideal for use in Put in Bay OH 43456 closets and bedrooms, while an AC2 rating means that the product is best used in dining rooms and living rooms. An AC3 rating is given to products that can withstand heavy use in both commercial and residential settings. In the meantime, AC4 laminate flooring products are ideal for even heavier traffic. The highest rating is AC5, which are given to products sturdy enough for heavy industrial environments.
Now that you are better Put in Bay OH 43456 informed, make a wise move in choosing the laminate product that serves your needs best.

The Henderson County Board of Commissioners is right to question the need for a liquor store in an unincorporated part of the county, but also to give the county ABC board funding it can use to study the question.
The Henderson County Board of Commissioners is right to question the need for a liquor store in an unincorporated part of the county, but also to give the county ABC board funding it can use to study the question.
The board split 2-2 on whether to pay $9,000 for a market study the ABC board had requested on the feasibility of another liquor store. But all four commissioners agreed the board should have its own funding and asked county staff to prepare a budget by next month. The vote came Wednesday with Commissioner Mike Edney, an attorney, in court and absent from the meeting.
Chairman Charlie Messer supported Vice Chairman Tommy Thompson's motion to fund the study, while commissioners Larry Young and Grady Hawkins opposed the measure. However, Young proposed creating a yearly budget of $20,000 to $25,000 for the county ABC board, and to let the board decide how to spend the funds.
Hawkins said he is skeptical about the county getting into liquor sales, citing the five existing ABC stores and the modest proceeds a new store would generate for local schools. A May 2012 referendum to allow liquor sales countywide was not a "veiled mandate to build an ABC store out in the county," he said.
ABC Board Chairman Beau Waddell respectfully disagreed, saying the vote was overwhelmingly in favor of allowing liquor sales at package stores in unincorporated areas. His board wants consultant Martin-McGill to study which areas have unmet demand for liquor sales to determine where the best spot for a new ABC store would be.
Actually, both Hawkins and Waddell are right. Yes, county voters overwhelmingly agreed that ABC stores should be allowed in unincorporated areas. But there is a difference between allowing a county liquor store as an option, and actually calling for one to be built, as Hawkins points out.
There are currently five ABC stores in the county: three in Hendersonville, one in Laurel Park and one in Fletcher. ABC board members and managers from the municipal stores have all stated they don't think the county can support a sixth store.
The best way to determine the feasibility of another ABC store is through a study. Creating a budget for the county ABC board that it can use to pay for the study accomplishes the task of answering that question, even if commissioners don't agree on the need for a study, let alone another ABC store.
Three citizens spoke out at Wednesday's meeting to say the $9,000 requested for the ABC store study would be better spent on the county's Drug Abuse Resistance Education program. Steve Dalton said DARE was told that due to county budget cuts, the community had to "step up and fund the program," which it did by raising $10,000 from schools, families and businesses.
"When we got news that it's been proposed that $9,000 be spent to simply see if we need another liquor store, another ABC store, in our county, it put us on edge," Dalton said.
County Manager Steve Wyatt pointed out that the Sheriff's Office, which runs the DARE program, has a budget of approximately $12 million that was increased by $215,000 this fiscal year. The county funds the Sheriff's Office, but doesn't tell the sheriff how to spend the money.
"The fact of the matter is, we don't micromanage the sheriff's budget ... and we never will," Messer said.
It's understandable that supporters of DARE question spending $9,000 to study the need for another liquor store. It's great that they made their feelings known, and the commissioners' meeting was the appropriate venue for them to do so. But commissioners are correct to not micromanage how the Sheriff's Office spends county funds.
Commissioners should also keep this position in mind when it comes to funding for public schools, and allow the elected School Board to decide how local funds are spent. It's up to county leaders to come up with a balanced budget and set broad priorities, but the sheriff and the school board should tend to their own budget details.

The ROD is based on information presented in a Final Environmental Impact Statement that was completed in December 2012.
The Red Line will be a 14.1-mile, east-west transit line connecting the areas of Woodlawn, Edmondson Village, West Baltimore, downtown Baltimore, Harbor East, Fell's Point, Canton and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus.
"This is a big day for the Red Line and the future of transit in Maryland," said Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley. "Now we must move to our next challenge, which is providing the state funds necessary to keep this project moving."
The light-rail line will have 19 stations between Woodlawn, Downtown Baltimore and Johns Hopkins Bayview. Riders will be able to connect to existing Metro subway, light rail and MARC Train lines. Expected ridership by 2035 is more than 50,000 passengers per day and construction of the Red Line is estimated to create 9,800 direct construction and related jobs during the six-year construction period.
"The Record of Decision is the product of many years of work by citizens, community organizations and local and state agencies," said Ralign Wells, administrator of the Maryland Transit Administration. "Public and agency feedback helped us identify concrete steps we can take to make the Red Line a good neighbor while improving mobility. Receiving the ROD means we understand the project's impacts and have a plan to manage them."

Light Thursday...
EDSBS found this video of an Ohio State "rapper." It could be the worst thing ever...which also means it's one of the funniest things ever.
Ohio State is the "Beast of the East?" Nice geography, RunDIC.
And I notice he couldn't resist a couple "Fuck Floridas" in there. Talent and class.
Brian at MGoBlog has a great playoff idea.
Sean at MSC says there's a credible rumor going around that Jake Long will return for his senior season. Cross your fingers and toes, U-M fans.
The folks at Burnt Orange Nation are asking Longhorn fans this as UT prepares to make the bowl trip Michigan did last year. An outsider's opinion? In hindsight, I think it's best that Michigan lost that game last year. Yes, you heard me right. If we win, go 8-4, maybe, just maybe it doesn't seem as bad and Herrmann stays on. Not good.
So, as Texas fans ponder how they feel, first answer this question -- Got any coaches you want to get rid of?
So says this excellent ESPN article.

Bruce Hooley is to the Big 10 what Gary Danielson is to the SEC. Wisconsin getting such huge props for a one-loss season. Great, you lost one game, but that game wasn't close (or roughly as close as the UofM - Vandy game- no wait, I'm wrong, you outpassed Vandy and kicked 2 extra FGs- you rule, but your QB got horse-sickled by Mich's D and your running game put up what? 36 FEET?!?). Wisc didn't beat a ranked team all year, they had to be unsportsmanlike to secure the win against PSU (not by playing football, but by exploiting a bug in the rules). They didn't even play Ohio State, but you go on tooting their horn Mr. Hooley while you're sipping the kool-aid the hippies in Mad Town are giving you.

Re. Alamo Bowl: I've also wondered whether Michigan would have made the coordinator changes and had the focus to rebound if we had won the Alamo Bowl. I suspect we wouldn't have, though it would have been cool to see Breaston take an Ecker lateral and make history.
Re. Big 10 season: There hasn't been such a gaping disparity between M/tOSU and the rest of the conference since the "Big 2, Little 8" era in the 70's. I usually have a lot of respect for Wisconsin, but come on, has there ever been a lamer 1-loss team from a major conference?. Their out of conference schedule was unacceptably weak. Sure ND gets undeserved attention, but they played Georgia Tech, UCLA, and USC while the Badgers took on Bowling Green, Buffalo, and freakin' Western Illinois! The rest of the Big 10 was a disaster--not one truly scary team in the bunch, and a few (Iowa, Sparty) that were huge disappointments. The rest of Hooley's article was pretty good, but to suggest that the Badgers somehow got screwed out a BCS game is ridiculous.
Re. Jake Long: I saw a draft projection yesterday (hey, I'm a Lions fan--that's all I have) that inlcuded Woodley, Long, Hall, and Branch all in the top ten. Long and Branch seem to be particularly great prospects, and as much as Long would help what should be a fantastic offense in '07, I think he should go to the NFL. We saw with Tripp Welbourne that "can't miss" guys can miss because of injuries and it would be a shame if Long became one of those guys.
- December 14, 2006 10:37 AM
Re: Jake Long
I agree. While I applaud his dedication to the program and his teammates (as well as his personal goals), I'm really really worried about him given his injury history. Now I have to root for (at least) five things every game:
1. A Michigan win
2. Chad Henne not getting injured
3. Michael Hart not getting injured
4. Jake Long not getting injured
5. Lloyd Carr not getting a heart attack when/if one of his senior stars gets injured

After anon 7:07's endorsement of the playoff idea at MGO, I checked it out. Nothing new written, but still worthwhile to point out playoffs are better. He says strength of schedule should be heavily weighed in. Great, but then says 'especially out of conference opponents'. My beef with that is (for this uyear, for example) that if SoCal can claim a win over Arky as a great OOC win, why can't Florida & LSU claim the same win with equal weight? Just because a team is not out of conference, doesn't mean it's a cake walk, no more than SoCal's game against Cal should be wegihted less than Tenn's game against Cal. True, if no team ever played out of conf, then no one would have a great idea how the conference favor each other. So it's understandable the rest of the nation's beef with the SEC making claims that at least based on OCC schedule, they can't back up. But a team that beats a great OOC team, shouldn't garnish any more favor than an in conference team beating that same (now in conf) team. Someone on here said it before I did that there needs to be 1-2 open slots each year for a game TBD based on the previous season's results. The B10's 1-3 should play two of SEC 1-3, BE 1-3, B12 1-3, and ACC 1-3, and vice versa in two of there OOC games. Teams 4-6 in each conf likewise. As far as extra games for student athletes, drop the 12th game of the regular season, drop the conf championship since no one but BCS puts faith in them anyways, and the players won't play any more games than the 14 some of them do they do now anyway.

I understand your point about injuries, but the Tripp Welborne example doesn't really fit. Tripp injured a knee at a time when knee injuries ended careers. Medicine has come so far since then that we have guys with worse injuries not even missing a full calendar year.
I'd sure like to see Big Jake back next year, but I couldn't fault him for going pro for the reason you mentioned.

It'd be great to have the top teams play each other early in the season, but if there were a playoff it wouldn't be necessary...afterall any losses would be argued as "early season" loses.
I'd disagree with MgoBlog on the 6 team format. Go 8 teams, it's the same amount of weeks played, and it gives two more teams a shot (two less teams complaining they were left out). The argument is the bye gives an incentive to win during the regular season. Let the incentive be home field advantage and the seed pairings.
I'm also not a fan of letting a team pick who they want to play. It would just add a lot more politics to the fray.
Anon 8:38a Welcome to History 101 and put away your crayons you won't need them as this is not an OSU grad level course. The Victors was written in 1898 after UM beat the Chicago Maroons. The B10 conference was widely known as the Western Conference since most of the football at that time was played east of the Appalachian mountains. Get it? Champions of the West...
Ohio is in the Eastern time zone...but "beast" doesn't really rhyme or flow with "Great Lakes Region"...then again "over" and "Glover" really don't either...
- December 14, 2006 1:34 PM
History lesson: When "The Victors" was written, Michigan was in the "Intercollegiate conference of Faculty Representatives" which was commonly called the "Western Conference" which was comprised of University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin, Indiana University and the State University of Iowa. In 1912, tOSU was admitted. Chicago withdrew in 1946 and Michigan State College (now Michigan State University) was added three years later in 1949.
So, when Michigan beat the University of Chicago for the league championship, they truly were the "champions of the west".

If you Bucknuts actually knew anything about College Football history, you would know that "The Victors" was written around the turn of the century and the line "Champions of the West" was a reference to how Yale and Harvard and Princeton, etc. were the major football powers in the east and Michigan was the only major power west of those Ivy League teams.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and some local municipalities are installing the signs to heighten driver awareness of potential train presence at crossings.
The E-signs, which are manufactured for and distributed by CTC, feature patented BlinkerSign® technology around the perimeter of the sign.
"The LEDs flash 24/7 or can be programmed to flash when a vehicle or train is detected near the crossing," said Danny Fregia, director, railroad applications, for CTC.
The idea is to draw drivers' attention to the fact that a train could be approaching the crossing and is intended to deter drivers from trying to go through a crossing when a train is present.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration, Colorado accidents at grade crossings are among the lowest in the nation. However, in 2012, two fatalities resulted when drivers failed to stop at Colorado crossings when trains were approaching.
"Any tool that we can use to save lives is a welcome addition to our transportation tool kit," said Mat Flores, CDOT statewide utilities engineer. "The flashing lights disrupt a driver's expectations and should draw his or her attention to the crossing, resulting in a significant safety benefit."
Drivers will begin seeing the CTC E-signs in the metro Denver area in late February 2013, as crews complete the installations.

On this website, Intermediaries are investors that qualify as both a Professional Client and a Qualified Investor.
In summary a person who can both be classified as a professional client under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and a qualified investor in accordance with the Prospectus Directive will generally need to meet one or more of the following requirements:

(3) a national or regional government, a public body that manages public debt, a central bank, an international or supranational institution (such as the World Bank, the IMF, the ECB, the EIB) or another similar international organisation.
(4) a natural person resident in an EEA State that permits the authorisation of natural persons as qualified investors, who expressly asks to be treated as a professional client and a qualified investor and who meets at least two of the following criteria: (i) he/she has carried out transactions on securities markets at an average frequency of, at least, 10 per quarter over the previous four quarters before the application, (ii) the size of his/her financial instrument portfolio, defined as including cash deposits and financial instruments exceeds EUR 500.000, (iii) he/she works or has worked for at least one year in the financial sector in a professional position which requires knowledge of securities investment.
Please note that the above summary is provided for information purposes only. If you are uncertain as to whether you can both be classified as a professional client under the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive and classed as a qualified investor under the Prospectus Directive then you should seek independent advice.

Cookies Policy
What are cookies?
Cookies are small text files that are stored in your computer's memory and hard drive, in your mobile device or tablet when you visit certain web pages. They are used to enable websites to function or to provide information to the owners of a website, or other third parties which receive data obtained from that website.
When you visit any web site, it may store or retrieve information on your browser, mostly in the form of cookies. This information might be about you, your preferences or your device and is mostly used to make the site work as you expect it to. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised web experience.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies help us to provide customised services and information. We use cookies on all our Websites to tell us, in general terms, how and when pages in our Websites are visited, what our users' technology preferences are – such as what type of video player they use – and whether our Websites are functioning properly. Depending on their purpose, some cookies will only operate for the length of a single browsing session, whilst others have a longer life span to ensure that they fulfil their longer-term purposes (as explained in more detail below). Please note that, however long the cookies' active life may be, you can delete cookies (and therefore stop any further data collection by them) as further described below.
If you are using one of our password-protected sites, then the Website may use cookies or other technology to help us authenticate you, store and recognise your configuration and user attributes, facilitate your navigation of the website and customise its content so that the information made available is likely to be of more interest to you.
In broad terms, we use cookies on our Websites for the following purposes:
• Analytical purposes: Analytical cookies allow us to recognise, measure and track visitors to our Websites and compile a record of this usage information. This helps us to improve and develop the way our Websites work, for example, by determining whether site visitors can find information easily, or by identifying the aspects of websites that are of the most interest to them.
• Usage preferences: Some of the cookies on our Websites are activated when visitors to our sites make a choice about their usage of the site. Our Websites then 'remember' the settings preferences of the user concerned. This allows us to tailor aspects of our sites to the individual user.
• Terms and conditions: We use cookies on our Websites to record when a site visitor has seen a policy, such as this one, or provided consent, such as consent to the terms and conditions on our Websites. This helps to improve the user's experience of the site – for example, it avoids a user from repeatedly being asked to consent to the same terms. We also track whether a user has seen other similar documents (such as an online survey) before – again, to ensure that a user's experience of our Websites is a smooth one.
• Session management: The software that runs our websites uses cookies for technical purposes needed by the internal workings of our servers. For instance, we use cookies to distribute requests among multiple servers, authenticate users and determine what features of the site they can access, verify the origin of requests, keep track of information about a user's session and determine which options or pages to display in order for the site to function.
• Functional purposes: Functional purpose cookies store information that is needed by our applications to process and operate. For example, where transactions or requests within an application involve multiple workflow stages, cookies are used to store the information from each stage temporarily, in order to facilitate completion of the overall transaction or request.
• Advertising: Advertising cookies allow us (or third parties) to monitor the behaviour of users of our Websites. This information is used to ensure that products and services highlighted to those individuals are targeted in a focused and relevant manner – e.g. through advertisements on BlackRock websites or through advertisements on third party websites (e.g. Bloomberg, Agefi.com Handlesblatt.de, etc) which are based on your experience with our Websites; or to monitor the effectiveness of those digital marketing campaigns. We also monitor whether the adverts displayed on our Websites are of interest to users and retain this information to ensure that adverts seen by users of our Websites over a period of time are appropriate.
Please note that third parties may use cookies. The kind of cookies and the consequent data processing carried out by such third parties are regulated by their privacy policy. Please see below.
Your cookie preferences
Cookies are necessary in order for you to be able to make full use of BlackRock's Websites. In addition, cookies help us provide you with personalised features on our Websites. If you chose to disable cookies, some of BlackRock's Website's functionality might be impaired.
Local Flash Storage
On certain of our Websites, we include content designed for display using Adobe Flash Player, such as animations, videos and tools. Local flash storage (often referred to as "Flash cookies") can be used to help improve your experience as a user. Flash storage is retained on your device in much the same way as standard cookies, but is managed directly by your Flash software.
If you wish to disable or delete information stored locally in Flash, please see the documentation for your Flash software, located at www.adobe.com. Please note that, if you disable Flash cookies, some site functionality may not work.
Third party cookies
When you visit our Websites, you may receive cookies that are set by third parties. These may include cookies set by Google, Bizo, LinkedIn, AppNexus, Xaxis, MediaMind and/or Rocketfuel. These cookies are used for the purposes described in the "Why Do We Use Cookies?" section of this policy. We do not control the setting of these third party cookies, so we suggest you might wish to check the third party websites for more information about their use of cookies and how to manage them.

The RTA says that econometric tie demand forecasting model now suggests that at least 500,000 ties to as many as 1.2 million ties will be added to the market demand for 2013. This raises the total 2013 forecast for new wood tie demand to 23.3 million, on the low-end, to an upper-end of 24.0 million.
"With the 2012 election comes a new Congress with significant new challenges," said RTA Executive Director Jim Gauntt. "There are 81 new members of Congress, very few of which will have any knowledge of or experience with the railroad industry. Likewise of the 255 co-sponsors of the just passed 45G legislation, 47 are now gone and will have to be replaced with new co-sponsors.
"As we have done in the past, we need to do our part by bringing the message to the Congressmen who represent us and understand the importance of our facilities," said Gauntt.
In that regard, Gauntt urges all RTA members to send at least one or two representatives to the March 14 Railroad Day on the Hill event.
"This is the most important lobbying day of the year for the railroad industry and I cannot think of a better way in which RTA members can positively impact the demand for ties than by showing up in force to tell the 45G story", said Gauntt. "It is a story about jobs, economic development and preserving rail service in rural and small town America and it is best told by the entrepreneurs, such as those RTA represents."

Revenue increases due to historic ridership growth, savings from prior budget years and one-time-only stopgap funds will make it possible for Caltrain to put forward a balanced budget, reported Gigi Harrington, deputy CEO for finance.
However, Caltrain's financial future remains uncertain beyond the next fiscal year, as the rail agency continues to grapple with a lack of dedicated funding.
As Caltrain has done in the past, the proposed FY14 budget was balanced using what is known as "one-time only" stopgap money. Throughout the past few budget cycles, these measures have included the use of regional funding through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, stopgap funds and funds repaid to SamTrans for the purchase of the rail corridor. SamTrans has used that funding to cover its share of the operating deficit, which, in turn, has allowed Caltrain to maintain a robust level of service to meet the growing demand. With all of those funds exhausted, Caltrain says it will need to either identify a new funding source or consider service reductions for FY15.
"Caltrain is vital to the rebounding economy of our region, and demand for the service has never been higher," said Ken Yeager, chair of Caltrain's Joint Powers Board. "These historic ridership levels look like they will remain on track, so there will be no fare increases or reduction in service levels in this year's budget."
Caltrain's total proposed operating budget for FY14 is $120 million, an increase of seven percent over the previous year's budget. The increase is a response to Caltrain's ridership growth. With such high demand, the complexity of operating the system and managing the contract is growing, leading to an overall increase in Caltrain's operating budget.
As Caltrain ridership has increased more than 11 percent each year for the past three years. Caltrain is projecting farebox revenue of $66.1 million and parking revenue of $3.7 million for FY14.
Since 2010, Caltrain has experienced a 38 percent increase in ridership. As of the annual ridership counts conducted in Feb. 2013, Caltrain carries an average of more than 47,000 average weekday riders, nearly doubling its ridership since introducing the Baby bullet service in 2004. High demand has resulted in service constraints during the peak hour commute, with some trains operating at 130 percent of capacity.
Caltrain is looking at options for expanding its capacity. One possibility under consideration is the purchase of additional rail equipment.

Latest update : 2012-10-10
Did they kill El Lazca, or not?
We take a look at the Israeli papers' treatment of the news that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is calling early elections. Meanwhile, Pakistan reacts to the shooting of a 14 year-old girl by members of the Taliban, and Mexico's drug bust is overshadowed by a missing corpse.
The Jerusalem Post headlines on Netanyahu's call for elections, while speculating in an editorial what the Prime minister's dream scenario would be. Haaretz are pessimistic about the prospect of any real opposition; they say he's got few real challengers.
In Pakistan, the English-language paper Pakistan Today put Malala Yousafza on their front page, with an editorial saying that the government needs to take stronger measures against the Taliban.
Finally, the Mexican authorities told us he was dead, but now the paper Vanguardia is asking "Did they really kill him?" This comes after the body of drug lord Heriberto Lazcano, alias "El Lazca", goes missing. Members of the European press are already speculating about who his successor might be.

A good deed — on the victims' part — led to trouble early Saturday morning when police say two men robbed the strangers who helped them restart their car and then led officers on a chase.
A good deed — on the victims' part — led to trouble early Saturday morning when police say two men robbed the strangers who helped them restart their car and then led officers on a chase.
The street chase ended when police say the driver rammed his SUV into a Henderson County Sheriff's Office patrol car.
Both suspects fled on foot, but tips from the public informed officers that one was trying to catch a cab at a nearby gas station and the other was pleading with residents in the Balsam Road area to let him use their phones, according to a news release from the Hendersonville Police Department.
Vernon Uriah Brown, 27, of Harris Street in Hendersonville, and Dusten Robert Thomas-Yount, 22, of Etowah, were charged with two counts each of robbery with a dangerous weapon. Yount was also charged with felony fleeing to elude arrest and damage to county property after police say he rammed his Ford Explorer into the patrol car.
Hendersonville Police Chief Herbert Blake said officers responded to a report of an armed robbery at 2:22 a.m. Saturday in the parking lot of Norm's Minit Mart at 118 Dana Road. The victims told police they were approached by two males who asked them for help with jumping the battery of their disabled vehicle.
After the suspects' SUV roared to life, the victims told police that one of the suspects pulled a gun and demanded money. Police said Brown and Yount fled the scene in their SUV, heading east. Dispatchers issued a warning for officers to look for the suspects.
"Deputies with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office — Jake McMurray and Jason Capps — located the vehicle traveling on Spartanburg Highway and attempted to conduct a traffic stop," the release says.
"A vehicle pursuit ensued that ended when the passenger exited the vehicle and fled on foot. The driver then rammed the patrol vehicle while attempting to escape and fled on foot in the Meadow Park Lane area."
Police said callers reported that one of the suspects, "covered in mud, was trying to get into a taxi at the Shell gas station on Spartanburg Highway, across the street from where the suspects crashed. A second suspect was knocking on doors and requesting the use of a phone in the area of Balsam Road and Spartanburg Highway."
Hendersonville K-9 Sgt. J. Case tracked the two suspects and recovered items linked to Yount and Brown, the release says.
Yount and Brown remain in custody at the Henderson County Detention Center. Brown is being held in lieu of a $120,000 secured bond. Yount is being held in lieu of a $131,000 secured bond.
Anyone with information regarding the case is asked to contact Detective Rich Olsen with the Hendersonville Police Department at 828-697-3025.

An initial train will run the entire length of the West Rail Line as the first test.
"This is a huge milestone for RTD as the test train will be operating under its own power, the first for the West Rail Line. Testing will continue for the next few months, leading to the opening of the rail line on April 26," said West Rail Line Project Manager Jim Starling.
The train will travel east to west, ending at Johnson Road in Golden. The initial "sweep" of the entire corridor will start Thursday. Following the sweep, the train will return to Zuni Street to begin grade-crossing testing. The testing, which will take several weeks to complete, ensures that all systems are integrated and operating safely and correctly.
The 12.1-mile West Rail Line is the first rail line of RTD's FasTracks project to start construction and will be the first to open to the public on April 26, 2013, eight months ahead of the original schedule. The West Rail Line will operate between Denver Union Station in downtown Denver and the Jefferson County Government Center in Golden, serving Denver, Lakewood, the Denver Federal Center, Golden and Jefferson County.
