C-Tran has been operating in the red for awhile now. As per the AJC, the county spends about $10 million per year to operate C-Tran, but only collects $2.5 million in revenue.
With only five routes running, fare hikes and temporary surcharges are imminent, service will most likely be reduced across the board and there is talk of discontinuing the airport loop (Route 500) bus completely. Many residents depend on C-Tran as their sole means of transportation, as well as elderly riders who utilize para transit services. Sixty-one percent of Clayton's residents ride the bus to work, and 10 percent take it to school.
But to hear some tell the story, C-Tran (along with the 1996 Olympics) helped send the county on a downward spiral that Clayton is still in the midst of. That theory aside, is it fiscally responsible to continue operating a system that loses money in any economy?
At a recent meeting, riders stated buses are currently filled to capacity and standing room only. The buses I see daily on Tara Boulevard are practically empty. I've never seen one even half full during my time here. So I have to ask which route(s) riders are referring to? Nevertheless, I do hope that at the very least, services for the elderly and disabled remain intact.
The C-Tran hearing will be held on Oct. 7 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Clayton County Administrative Building (112 Smith Street, Jonesboro). Will you attend?
Do you ride C-Tran? If so, what bus route do you take? Clayton residents: how would you ask your commissioner to represent you on this issue?

I have NEVER seen a full bus. Maybe these full buses are in Riverdale or areas closer to Atlanta? Could routes be closed where the ridership is low (like in Jonesboro) and keep only the ones where the buses are crowded since those are obviously the ones being used?

The County cannot afford to lose $7.5+ million dollars/yr (and more every year) on something the majority of residents (homeowners and long-term ) never wanted.
Get rid of C-Tran and clean up the county. With C-Tran gone, most of those who ride it will return to their residences in Atlanta, DeKalb and/or Fulton County. Crime is sure to go down once they all leave….

In the opinion of a 20 year Clayton county homeowner, C Tran has improved the quality of life in Morrow. I ride the buses, which utilize clean air technology, and stop at WalMart, making shopping there convenient.
There is a nice enclosed bus stop 50 feet from the front door of WalMat with benches. McDonald's is just inside the nearby door of WalMart. Just behind WalMart is a wonderful new walking path which is part of Jester's Creek project. I ride to the Clayton County library on Battle Creek Road, which is next to the Jester's Creek Path (a nice walking path which is practically a nature preserve).
The bus goes to the airport, where it is just a short walk to the Marta Rail station, which makes it easy to go anywhere in Atlanta. I like Lenox Square. The airport loop bus will take you to a nice hotel or restaurant, air cargo or to many businesses like Gate Gourmet where you can find employment.
That bus has taken me to the hospital on Riverdale Road, to my doctor's office on Forest Parkway, to the Tara Schwinn bike shop, and to the Clayton Justice Center (where you can get Georgia Xpress buses that will take you to McDonough if you like.
The bus system goes to many convenient and necessary places. I have seen a smaller C Tran bus make special trips to pick up a terminally ill friend and take him to the hospital on many occasions. He would have been a dead man if not for that service.
To those who state that CTran brings crime to Clayton county, I say that you are obviously very stupid. I hope that you are not a white man like I am, because I don't want other people to think that is the way white people think. You probably never used CTran and ride in a gas guzzling clunker that your parents gave you. You probably live with your mother, watch tv and play viedo games all day long, and never worked for a living.

C-TRAN is not what is bringing Clayton County down. That started happening when Atlanta started closing down the projects. The Powers That Be here Welcomed those displaced with open arms, for the money the feds would give us. Those who were displaced brought the mentality of the projects with them. I would ride C-TRAN if the closest stop was not over three miles away from my home. If I have to get in the car to drive that far I might as well just use it to go where I am going. I have ridden the buses in San Diego, LA, Denver, Salt Lake City, London, Germany, France and The D C area. In fact I am more likely to ride public transit in these places as it is usually more convenient than driving. The South and the Atlanta area( including Clayton County) do not believe in mass transit Which is why Atlanta traffic is the pits. They think if you just throw another road at it it will fix the problem. Wrong .Mass Transit does not bring crime. Criminal mind sets bring crime.
By the way I am white and my family clears over $70,000 a year.

Have never seen a bus even half full. Let the riders totally support the bus service if they want it. We should however provide transportation for elderly, and handicapped folks. This could be done with smaller shuttle buses.
October 5th, 2009

My suggestion is something that should have been utilized at the onset of C-tran. Smaller busses. We should have run the smaller ones from the get-go until there was a greater need. Get smaller busses, and save the larger ones for the need that hopefully will come down the road. Who the heck is running this county anyway? Oh yea, the majority voted skin color instead of integrity and intelligence.

I do not ride C-Tran. I am also one of these citizens that do not see full buses when these C-Tran buses are on the road. Why would the county invest in this failing venture. Do the right thing and get rid of C-Tran!!!!!!!!
I am what you call a super voter. I vote in EVERY election (including run offs). I will notify my commissioner that I prefer he vote against keeping C-Tran. If he does not, I will vote against him and persuade other super voters to vote against him also.
The rough characters that depend on C-Tran and their hard to educate children will move out of Clayton county when transportation is not readily available. When the very hard to educate leave (like they did in Atlanta, we can expect an improved school system. When the school system improve, quality development is next. When we have quality development (homes and businesses), an improved citizentry for Clayton County will ensue. It is all connected!!!!
I question the following statement in the article above "Sixty-one percent of Clayton's residents ride the bus to work, and 10 percent take it to school.
Do you mean of the citizens that ride C-Tran, 61 percent ride the bus to work and 10 percent take it to school? There is a big distinction in those two sentences.

I agree with BOTH 'whatever' and 'a real homeowner'.
While I feel that it is not only C-TRAN that has contributed to the thug/criminal element, much of it also has to do with the lack of vision of previous and current Clayton County Leaders. Where C-TRAN ridership is high, look closely at these areas. It becomes evident that Clayton County never truly invested in these communities as a whole to adapt to the changing social trends and demographics.
Not raising taxes in ump-teen years is not a sign of a progressive county's vision and quality of life standards. Cleaning up the "Hidden Gold Mind" around the airport (which resides in Clayton) and not positioning the communities around it to bring in travelers' spending dollars is a tell tale sign of incompetent leadership values existent throughout all levels of county government. Had Clayton County gutted/gentrified/cleaned up surrounding areas, raised taxes, raised home prices, it is possible that much of the riff raff would have been kept out, but not all (And I do not believe it is possible to keep out all bad seeds).
Personally, I have a professional career and work five days a week like most people and I make the most with what little money I make. I do not have money trees in my backyard and I play the lottery just as the next person does in hopes of being that much wealthier some day. However, like it or not, the low cost of housing and taxes is what facilitates an element to come into any area…add a public transportation service and now it is that much easier to sustain an unfortunate group of demographics that may not have learned some vital lessons as a part of their growth and upbringing.
I do have sympathy for people who have not been afforded the same opportunities as others. I do feel sympathy for children and teens that are growing up with music, videos and media as a substitute for parents and actually believe that what they are seeing/hearing from TV is an actual depiction of the way they should act and carry themselves. I too have made mistakes in my past, but let's face it folks, some of these people will never get or understand the lessons that have allowed us to be successful and a productive adult. Personally I was always chastised while coming up that I will need to have my own transportation even if that meant driving myself to a public transportation center – POINT BLANK. So what do healthy people do when they know that can't change the mindset of a family member(s) who can't see that what they are doing is not in the best interest of themselves or the people around them? They don't stop loving them, but they get on with their life and learn to love them from a distance.
In conclusion, get rid of C-TRAN – for now…CLAYTON COUNTY LEADERS AND COMMISIONERS, for once listen to the people who actually go out and cast votes, and are 'property owners' – because all too often the ones that make the most noise at town hall or school meetings/forums do not actually take themselves to the voting posts.
For once CLAYTON COUNTY LEADERS AND COMMISIONERS, let's cater to the 70% of progressive, professional, homeowners who pay taxes on time, vote, have their own means of transportation and want a higher quality and standard of living. Take C-TRAN away for a few years and allow the quality citizens and demographics that will pay a premium for quality services to enter the county…and then bring public transportation service back once a higher standard of living is the norm for all residents.

These clowns on the forum think the "Mass Transit & the Negro" in Clayton ruined this county! If that's the cases "Why" didn't Cobb (CCT) and Gwinnett (GCT) both mass transit system screw up those counties??? I think Clayton should "downsize" the existing transit system and fair very well. But until your county elected official grow a pair and start dispensing the county contracts (taxpayer dollars) in a "Fair & Impartial" matter, creating jobs, this county will always have that "Hood Element" lurking in the dark or the light for that matter waiting for an opportunity to strike! Now it's black on black—pretty sooner it'll be black on white!!! Bet that'll really get your "Attention"!

C-Tran itself didn't bring the crime element, but it was a VERY important piece of the puzzle. Previous Commissioners (both black and white who now have buildings all over the county named after them) sold us down the creek when the Olympics came to town. Besides Lake Spivey and a couple pockets here and there, Clayton has no expensive housing and plenty of apartments. Most houses are low end or starter homes, which are perfect for Section 8 vouchers. No land-use plans were developed to keep this from happening and developers related to commissioners and the commissioners themselves have profited. C-Tran made the county more appealing to the low-income, and as long as it is around many of them will not leave.
That said, the public transportation never makes money and is always government subsidized. Like roads, there is a user tax (gas or fee to ride) However if very few people ride, it probably needs to go. Just opinion, sorry to those it may hurt.

Public transportation works in major metropolitan area (like San Francisco, Boston, Chicago & NYC) where there is a central business district. Everyone – upper, middle and working class – utilizes public transportation because it is the cheapest, easiest fastest way to get from point A-point B. In Clayton County, this is not the case. C-Tran is used by those who cannot afford to have a car. Period. The majority of riders are not homeowners paying taxes, therefore they are not contributing to the well-being and future of the County. Get rid of C-Tran and the entire drain it brings to the county's limited resouces. Its a business decision.

What needs to be done to address the problems of C-Tran is to make upgrade the uniforms. It would make everyone treat C-Tran with more respect, and then everyone would starting riding it.
It worked in the schools; everybody has a uniform, and now CCPS is a has a world class vision, and schools that are quickly becoming the envy of the state, if not the nation.
I love Heatley, and the BOE. They brought accreditation back so you know they are great. And I love uniforms. Uniforms have been a godsend, and so has Heatley, and so has the BOE. They have a world vision now, and we are so blessed to be part of it.

With all the problems that C-TRAN has been having, has anyone mentioned that MARTA has been running this system on behalf of C-TRAN? As you are probably all aware, MARTA hasn't exactly had the best run on managing its own system either. I believe that the push backed by MARTA is just another attempt by Beverly Scott to force out C-TRAN and push MARTA bus service into our county.

You people should be ashamed of yourself, if they take away C-Tran there would be alot of people out of work they depend on the buses to get them back and forth, you want to see crime take away the buses, how dear you, I used to ride C-Tran and I have a car it has nothing to do with not haveing a car,if you can save a little and ride the bus why not!!!that is there fault that they didn't budget the bus route correctly. Get rid of the ones that really are not needed like someone said 500 and so on, raise the fare if need people will pay , please don't take the only transportation that many people depend on to take care of there familes.. People reconsider I wish I had a chance to go to the meeting on the 7th, had to be at work, Think about it like i said raise the prices they will pay but don't take away the buses. God be with you all.

Enter your comments here To all you C Tran whiners: Wake up! Tax payer supported public transportation is not your right. C Tran and Sect. 8 have brought this county to the brink. Look at what public transit has done to So. Cobb and So. Gwinnet……..been to Norcross lately. Bottom line, the riders are not paying for it and the true homeowners can't afford to pay for it. We knew when it was implemented that one day the bill would come due and now its here. If you don't like the curtailed C tran Svc, call the moving vans!!!!

CTRAN/MARTA needs to return to Atlanta and Fulton County. We don't want it here. Those who need it will move. And at $7.5+ million dollars/yr in the red, what's the use??
Get rid of C-TRAN. That money would be better spent on other things in the county that contribute to our well-being, like Police, Fire and the Courts. The jail needs more $$$. Plice need cars than run! Our hardworking DA needs more staff! Are you listening BOC??? You guys need to drop CTRAN/MARTA and pay our hard working Clayton employees more money. They deserve it!

New to the Clayton County blog and enjoy the topics, Ms. Allen. However, my comments are intended for "Double Barrel". Mr. "Double Barrel" and other names you use. Please discontinue the albophobia commentary. It's tiresome, serves no purpose, and makes one sound as if they are a simpleton. I'm sure as intelligent as you are that you can contribute in a more productive manner to the commentary here. I am sure the attention you are seeking would be much more plentiful. Thank you.

Public transportation is necessary for a community to grow. Go to NY, NJ, and other northeastern cities. Look at Washington DC and Denver. Trasportation in those places is easy and pleasent to use. Transportation systems have police to help curb crime. You can use the commute time to read, listen to your ipod etc.

T. Townsend – I couldn't agree with you more!
I attended the public meeting last night and two observations come to mind:
1. The Department of Transportation and Development of Clayton County was presented with many citizen speakers. Words were passionate and heartfelt and I personnally was proud to see my fellow citizens attending and being involved in the process. What I haven't seen, either from the County Dept. of transporation and Development or GRTA is an empirical analysis of ridership using standard survey methodology. While emotions run high, I see no evidence of any study conducted what-so-ever. If there was a study I am sure the conclusions (either for or against C-TRAN) would be clearly apparent and offer the Commissioners insight into a vote based on facts, not conjecture.
2. There was much criticism towards several Commissioners that were not present (Honorable Eldrin Bell was there). I need to remind my fellow citizens that this WAS NOT a Commissioners meeting. This was a public comment session sponsored by the Clayton County Department of Transporation and Development that was held in the Commission meeting room. There was no reason for Commissioners to be present as all comments were transcribed by a court reporter. The Commissioners will receive a copy of all words spoken. They will also receive a report of community sentiment. There was no mandate or need for the Commissioners to be at that meeting so leveling charges against Commissioners is blatantly unfair. What occured was "Basic Meeting Protocol 101″ which may not be realized by many citizens.

I stumbled across this blog by accident and I must say that I am very saddened by some of the comments left here. However I understand where the prospective of the "taxpayers" of this blog is coming from. Most of you all that have left comments have never had to ride public transit so you will not share the passion that the riders have. It may seem as a burden to you all but what about people like me? I am trying to attain education so I will not become an "unwanted", "Section 8 recipeint" or "Undesireable" as some of the commentaries have written in so many words on here. I have never been arrested, vote faithfully at every election and my parents pay their Property taxes to CLAYTON COUNTY faithfully every year. How am I supposed to get to school everyday or wherever I need to go?
Majority of the routes are not in areas where the median home price surpasses $125k so clearly what are you complaining about? One peice of the blame should be the elected officals "guesstimating" how many riders are using C-tran of actually doing the field work to get exact numbers Some of you sound ignorant and misinformed. People that use public transportation are not riding it for their health or enjoyment!!!
I was taught think before you speak…some should think before they write. Get the facts or better yet COME RIDE WITH US!!!!

Many of the posts claim that they never see the buses full. Do you watch bus stops all day? Are you the bus monitor? Probably not. What you are doing is looking down from your high horse instead of looking at what the bus may mean to that person riding it. Perhaps in the economic crisis, they were laid off and just found a job that happens to be thirty miles away. This same person is without a vehicle. Public transportation is their only way to get to work. What about the person on the bus that is about to lose their home and saving the extra money on gas and riding C-TRAN is keeping a roof above their head. The other person on the bus is a student who travels to GSU everyday. So let's go back to our honorary bus monitors on this forum… don't these people deserve to get on the bus. How long are we going to roll the windows up in our brand new vehicles and roll our eyes as we pass a bus on Tara Blvd?
Complain about the real wastes of money… ridiculous positions of authority and their outrageous salaries coupled with frivolous lawsuits against said individuals occupying the ridiculous positions.
Just my thoughts

C-Tran needs to go. It is not the responsibility of government to see that someone has a way to get back and forth from school, work, grocery store etc. It is that person's responsibility. I am a life long resident of Clayton County and yes things did change drastically for the worse when C-Tran came. There are other factors too but lets just eliminate the most obvious. If it can not pay for itself then let it go.
Commissioner Bell seems to think that the County should give up C-Tran then add a 1 cent tax and allow Marta to take over. C-Tran was allowed because no one wanted anything to do with Marta in the first place and that has not changed. We can not keep raising taxes by a penny on everyone to satisfy a very small portion of our community.
We have raised property taxes and just voted to raise taxes on hotels and motels in the area we will tax ourselves to death it this continues.
Commissioner Bell is playing a very good political game. He announces something drastic and everyone gets alarmed. People come out in show of protest and he proposes something slightly less drastic but what he wanted all along like higher property taxes. Now he has announced his plans to cut C-Tran and people have shown up in protest… now comes the Marta announcement. How much clearer can it be. We must keep up the pressure and let them know this is not acceptable.

To Progressive African American. If you look at the areas where C-Tran has high volume you will see that the county has indeed invested a great deal (police and fire). They are the high crime areas and I'm sure that you will say that it is not true. The high volume areas are Riverdale Rd., Gardenwalk Blvd., Flint River Rd and Pointe South areas. Do a simple google search if you need to fact check. Check with police and see what the call volume is in those areas and you will find that the majority of the call volume follows the bus line.
The system has not been around long enough for people think that it is indispensable and even if they did it is time for them to wake up and face reality. In fact it is time for everyone to wake up and realize that "progressive" thinking has gotten us into this mess.
One more thing! Have you really investigated the origins of the term Progressive Movement. The progressives were a group of people who believed in elitism and racism. In fact they were closely aligned with another political movement… the eugenics movement. Point being you appear to have accepted a belief that only saw African Americans as a useful tool to their political ends. Like Marta and possibly some community organizers used those people the other night at the meeting. The commissioners meeting on Tuesday night was empty even though they expected a huge turn out. Amazingly on Wed. the buses flowed in with all the "protesters."

Clayton County 2009, there were many who thought that we did not have the votes in the last local election to make a change but Victor Hill, Jewel Scott, and Lee Scott are all sitting at home wondering what happened.
There is a silent majority here and in most communities and they are beginning to become more vocal. C-Tran showed up here in part to get federal dollars when those federal dollars were gone people began to see just how much of a burden C-Tran was. It began to draw from the counties general fund and caused a huge short fall, which causes other services which are used by most everyone to be shorted.
If any elected official votes to keep C-Tran I will guarantee you that person will not get re-elected and we will be sure to post after that election.

Unless you're paying the local election official to electronically stuff the ballot box for you, which is the "norm" for Clayton county election, we have the GBI on that! However, we need the FBI on it, because you "Dixie Folks" have our way around these parts! Never the less, the poor and least fortunate need a cheap mass transit system to make a living.

CC 2009 you are a fool — it was the blacks in this county that woke up and kicked out the morons – Hill and the 2 Scotts. They saw what the Scott clan and the Trotter idiots had done to the county and wanted a change – for the better. They used their brains and voted in a group of people – black and white that would do what is best for the citizens of this county. Not line their pockets like the aforementioned Scotts, Hill and Trotter. The last election showed the "progress" of the black voter in CC – to understand the issues and to not be taken in by the race-baiters who crawl out from under their rocks every election cycle.

You talk about mass transit, I talk about accreditation! By now everyone in Clayton county know the accreditation crisis is and was a farce and a racist tacist to incorporate the "Ploutcrats" elected officials, all for the good of the "Rich" in Clayton! Are you kidding me! An accreditation threat after 57 illegal meetings in Cobb County and Metro Area CRCT Cheating all the while, No SACS intervention. Come Clayton's BOE don't you fell like a little bite of some uncle toms, worthless, being played, lack of power, voiceless. idiots. The majority of the voting public fells that way! Luckily we have 2010 election coming up!

Clayton 2009, you must be a recent graduate of Clayton County Schools. I guess I should have spelled my name conservative "brotha" for you to get the hint that I am an American whose for fathers descended from Africa. Yes we do have the majority but as some can tell we do not all think monolithic.
Since I am born and raised here my values may be different from yours. My parents stood up and fought when this county really did have racial problems and they also stood up and fought when the question of Marta came before. They new the negativity that would come along with it and so do many of the people who moved here years ago to get away from it.
You put forth the most ridiculous argument. Lee Scott and Jewel Scott had every billboard in Clayton County during the last election and they passed out colorful handouts with colorful language and lies… They are at home now.
You called me something and I won't stoop to your level on that for if you look at your argument and compare it with history then you will find that the term most accurately describes the person who penned it.

C-Tran must go and Eldrin Bell also. I have been here 14 years and I have never seen anything like this before, I grew in the Adamsville area so if anybody wants to know you don't have to act like you are from the hood as they will say. You can still show a little class. I was in a restaurant yesterday I wanted to pull this blue weave out of this young girls hair she looked like a fool, and her father was with her at least but he should have told her baby that's ugly. Everyone one looking at her and she thought it look good.

I agree. I am a "SUPER VOTER". I voted out Jewell Scott, Victor Hill and against Lee Scott. I vote in every election including run offs!!!! I also vote in the RAIN! I am apart of that silent majority that will NOT vote for a commissioner that votes for C-TRAN!!!
Eldrin Bell needs to go!!!!!!!!!! He is still stuck on a this idea of a commuter rail when the rest of the metro area has made no attempt to improve transportation. C-Tran and the commuter rail is a MONEY PIT and Eldrin Bell is willing to through the tax payers money in the pit.
Jimmy said it right. They are cutting services or at a minimum not improving services for tax payers by paying into a losing venture like C-Train and the commuter rail.

I moved here when I was a kid. Been here 25 years. I have to agree that when CTRAN showed up things started getting a lot more ghetto. For example, young men walking down the street with shirts off, grocery carts pushed down the street and abandonded, mentally ill and handicapped people walking in the street in a daze, young kids crossing busy routes such as SR85 and Tara Blvd. These images are preventing us from moving ahead and getting higher end dining and retail establishments.
Now I know these folks have to live somewhere but I don't want to live in an area where this behavior is common. I work too hard and pay too much money in property taxes to have to deal with this blight to my eyes.

I agree with A Real Homeowner, Peggy Sue, Resolve, Pioneer Brother, Big Papi and Barbara A. I feel the same as you guys. If Mr. Bell think we need C-tran, then he needs to go. I did vote out others and he will be next in line. This county has changed over the years and not for the good. I believe getting rid of C-tran will be start in resolving some of the county issues. We are not paying anymore taxes, because my home value has gone down and my taxes did not. It's time for us to stand up and be counted as real homeowners. Our commissioners have a duty to take care of our others services, first. Let's continue to fight for C-tran to go away for good and CC 2009 needs to go, too.

You know the people/residents of Clayton County are sad! From the defunked school system to the self-centered homeowners who whine about transit brings crime or oh, my taxes are going to go up and they need to eliminate the service. SHAME ON YOU! FYI.. the great citizens of De Kalb, Fulton and the City Of Atlanta in essence help pay for (with the one(1) cent sales tax) MARTA to keep operating and are tired of that burden. Quit complaining! If anybody should be whining it should be the residences of these two counties and city who NEVER get a break. You all need a self check! I was a MARTA employee for 11 years and was there when C-TRAN first began operation. From that day until now, I couldn't agree with the people more..it was about time. The poor and struggling middle class people finally didn't have to worry about a way to work, home or, school. Only thing maybe to worry about is getting a seat to sit down or the bus breaking down and they would be late. I've seen the honest faces of people just trying to get to work, raking up money for bus and train fares. Tired because they just got off from work the previous night and had to get back up to take the first bus out just so they can make it back to work on time for the next day. It's already hard on them now. Just imagine the impact it will have on the one's who depend on it. I've had the privledge to operate that Airport Line and it was a beast. SEVERE OVERCROWDING is an understatement. So what, you don't see a bus that's full or half empty, it doesn't matter people. It is a service that the underprivledged need and a must have in order for them to survive. Some cannot afford to have the nice cars and homes like the rest of you whining homeowners (Ie. Peggy Sue Davis Et al.). Granted if they could, they probally would and wouldn't have to face this issue. If the shoe was on the other foot, ya probally wouldn't say the things you did. Stop thinking of self and try and do something positive or to help the system and not fight for it's demise. I bet if this was a situation that the Clayton residence took an intrest to keep, aid you or help someone you know in a positive way, you wouldn't fight it. So why do it to the people who need it. In order for you dingbat's to understand it, you have to experience it. Put yourself in their shoes. My suggestion to ALL RIDERS, PATRONS, and my former brothers and sisters TRANSIT OPERATORS for both C-TRAN & MARTA FIGHT BACK AND FIGHT HARD. If the up-pty folks can fight, raise their voices, sign petitions and win to snuff out transit, you can do the same to keep it. I've taken transit all over the United States in all major cities and surprise surprise…their states government gives transit operating capital to keep tranist going so that they DON'T have to face like what is goin on in Clayton County. GEORGIA is the ONLY STATE that does not contribute to the cause(transit) but dictates how MARTA spends it money. What kinda junk is that? METRO ATLANTA it's time to start ringing Jill Chambers and Sonny Purdue's phones off the hook..non-stop. It's the game of politics. What the resident's don't understand, your good ole gu-bner in my opinion is trying to starve the transit agencies for state funding to FORCE them to come up under GRTA. Mass Tranist in the Greater Metropolitan Area(Atlanta) is so,so far behind it's ashame. Charlotte, NC transit (CATS) is half the size of Atlanta, GA and make our tranist look pityful. I urge you to call your elected officials in WASHINGTON and on the local level. People, you have the power! Put the HEAT on them, they can't and won't ignore you forever because they want to be re-elected. Petition the Federal Government for more assitance, start a task force. They have funds to throw away for pork belly projects, they most certainly can give more operating capital to tranist & so can the State Of Georgia but they don't want to. Mass Tranist will never be like it should in Georgia until we finally get away from that "good ole boy" mentality and rid our beautiful of Sonny Perdue as Governer. Clayton County..(C-TRAN) this is your Titanic that hit an Iceberg, either you let it sink and go down or work hard to patch the hole and keep it afloat for the sake of the one's who rely on it! March 31, 2010 will be here soon! Act NOW!
October 17th, 2009
11:22 pm
Let's take a look at the many venues served by C-Tran, the courthouse being among them. All these organizations, from the smallest to the largest, will suffer exponentially. The mom-and-pop operations, probably already on the thinest of shoestrings, to the "mega shops" all rely on a labor pool which, in spite of long commute distances, remains loyal. These people are (presumably) trained, experienced, and (again, presumably) the backbone of the operation. These organizations would be wise to, somehow, ban together to form a transit system of their own, be it in the form of a van/van fleet. Monetary contributions, from the member organizations, could be based on, perhaps, the number of employees. The major (potential) stumbling block would be individual organizations 1) approaching this, or some similar program(s) with a half-hearted whats-in-it-for-me attitude, and 2) viewing said program with a free-ride mentality.
Business/local government leaders within the community (previously) served by C-Tran need to adopt a we're-in-this-together/sink-or-swim attitude. Anything less will only guarantee a worsening of an already bad situation.

Dear Friends,
On Tuesday we held our Groundbreaking ceremony for Grand Central Park with
Commissioner Sarnoff, without whose support for the project, the park would
have never happened.
Marc challenged us to live by our promise to build the park in 30 days and
made a private bet FOR us to succeed. We are going to try our best to help
him win his bet and invite you all to subscribe to our new

Regsvr32.exe error messages prior to Windows Vista
The following list contains RegSvr32 error messages and possible causes.
Unrecognized flag: /invalid_flag
You typed an invalid combination of flags or switches (refer to the "Regsvr32.exe Usage" section in this article).
No DLL name specified.
You did not include a .dll file name (refer to the "Regsvr32.exe Usage" section in this article).
Dllname was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer or DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found.
Dllname is not a .dll or .ocx file. For example, typing regsvr32 wjview.exe generates this error message.
Dllname is not an executable file and no registration helper is registered for this file type.
Dllname is not an executable file (.exe, .dll, or .ocx). For example, typing regsvr32 autoexec.bat generates this error message.
Dllname was loaded, but the DllRegisterServer or DllUnregisterServer entry point was not found.
Dllname may not be exported, or a corrupted version of Dllname may be in memory. Consider using Pview to detect the file and remove it.
Dllname is not self-registerable or a corrupted version is in memory.
For example, typing regsvr32 icwdial.dll returns this error message because the Icwdial.dll file is not self-registerable. If you suspect a corrupted version of Dllname is in memory, try restarting your computer or re-extract the original version of the file. If you are running Windows NT, you may need to use the Kill or Pview tool from the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit.

OleInitialize failed (or OleUninitialize failed).
Regsvr32 must initialize the COM library before it can call needed COM library functions and uninitialize the library when it shuts down. These error messages occur if an attempt to initialize or uninitialize the COM library is unsuccessful. For example, the Ole32.dll file may be corrupted or may be the wrong version.
LoadLibrary("Dllname") failed. GetlastError returns 0x00000485
From Winerror.h, 0x00000485 = 1157 (ERROR_DLL_NOT_FOUND), which means "One of the library files needed to run this application cannot be found." For example, typing regsvr32 missing.dll returns this error message if the Missing.dll file is not found.
LoadLibrary("Dllname") failed. GetLastError returns 0x00000002
From Winerror.h, 0x00000002 = 2 (ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND), which means "The system cannot find the file specified." In other words, a dependent DLL was not found. For example, typing regsvr32 icwdial.dll with Tapi32.dll (a dependency) missing, returns this error message.
LoadLibrary("dskmaint.dll") failed. GetLastError returns 0x000001f
From Winerror.h, 0x000001f = 31 (ERROR_GEN_FAILURE), which means "A device attached to the system is not functioning." This behavior can occur if you try to register a Win16 .dll file. For example, typing regsvr32 dskmaint.dll returns this error message.
DllRegisterServer (or DllUnregisterServer)in Dllname failed. Return code was: string
Search Winerror.h for string.

After revealing the ILX Concept at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show in January, Acura has quickly followed it up with the production version at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show. Carrying the same ILX name, the new sedan will be offered with a choice of two different engines, as well as a Hybrid version for those with a particular love for the environment.
The Acura ILX addresses the young buyers that are looking for their first luxury vehicle. Acura has promised the ILX will be a cheaper alternative to models like the Buick Verano and the Audi A3 .
"First-time luxury buyers tend to place a high value on exterior styling, affordability and environmental issues, and that's what we have created with the new Acura ILX ," said Jon Ikeda, head of the Acura Design Studio. "The strategy behind this new model is to position ILX as the first opportunity for many young buyers to enter the luxury market."
Updated 06/17/2014: Acura announced prices for the 2015 ILX which continues to be offered with the same features as the 2014 model year. The only change includes a new Modern Steel Metallic exterior paint that replaces the Polished Metal Metallic.
Hit the jump to read more about the 2013-2014 Acura ILX.
Exterior and Interior
The Acura ILX's design remains faithful to that of the concept, sporting a sleek, sporty, and aerodynamically efficient exterior, but customers will also have two additional packages to choose from: a Premium Package and a Technology Package. The Premium Package includes leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, an upgraded 360 watt stereo system, a rear view camera, and an Active Sound Cancellation system to make for a quieter cabin. The Technology Package adds an ELS Surround audio system and a full complement of relevant technologies, including AcuraLink Satellite Communication System, Acura Navigation System with Voice Recognition, AcuraLink Real-Time Traffic with Traffic Rerouting, and AcuraLink Real-Time Weather with radar image maps.
For the 2014 model year, the ILX's interior remains unchanged, but it does gain eight new standard features. These new features include: new leather seating surfaces and leatherette door liners; an eight-way power driver's seat with heated front seats; Active Sound Cancellation system; and a Multi-Angle Rearview Camera.
On the outside, the 2014 model year gains upgraded 17-inch alloy wheels. The remainder of the exterior remains unchanged.
New for 2015
- Modern Steel Metallic replaces the Polished Metal Metallic exterior color
The new Acura ILX will be offered with a choice of three advanced, sporty, and efficient engines. The entry level will be offered with a 2.0-liter inline 4-cylinder engine that delivers a total of 150 HP at 6,500 rpm and 140 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm. This version is offered with a Sequential SportShift 5-speed automatic transmission and delivers a city/highway fuel economy of 24/32 mpg.
The top of the line model gets a 2.4-liter engine with an output of 201 HP at 7,000 rpm and 170 lb-ft torque at 4,300 rpm. Mated to a close-ratio, six-speed manual transmission, this version will deliver a city/highway fuel economy of 20/29 mpg.
With the new ILX, Acura is also introducing its first ever hybrid model. This version will combine a 1.5-liter inline engine and an Integrated Motor Assist electric motor to deliver a total of 111 HP at 5,500 rpm and 127 lb-ft of torque between 1,000-3,000 rpm. During braking, the gasoline engine deactivates and the electric motor acts as a generator to recharge the battery pack. At a stop, the 1.5-liter engine can enter idle-stop mode to save fuel and reduce emissions. The engine remains off until the brake pedal is released. Equipped with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), the new ILX Hybrid will deliver a city/highway fuel economy rating of 35/38 mpg.
The new ILX will also be offered with advanced MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear suspension systems, and new Amplitude Reactive Dampers.

Audi A3- Sedan
The sedan version is the latest addition to the A3 lineup. On the U.S. market it will be offered with a choice of three engines: a 170-horsepower 1.8 TFSI, a 150-horsepower 2.0 TDI clean diesel, and a 2.0 TFSI whose specifications will be announced at a later date.
It will be put on sale in the first quarter of 2014; prices are expected to start under $30k.

Ngoma Safari Lodge is situated on the western section of the Chobe riverfront
Ngoma Safari Lodge: Our full report
Situated overlooking the Chobe River and an adjacent floodplain Ngoma Safari Lodge is new to the Chobe Forest Reserve, having opened in early 2011. It's one of only one of a handful of lodges along this western section of the Chobe riverfront, which received many less visitors than the area to the west. None of the Expert Africa team has, as yet, stayed at Ngoma, but one of us visited the Lodge in June 2011, shortly after it opened.On our first visit it was clear that this was a new camp to which finishing touches were still being made. The framework of a quality lodge was certainly there though and when the lawns and trees have grown, the exterior of the lodge will no doubt be as smart as the interior. Ngoma is set to be one of the more luxurious lodges in the area, with more 'frills' than most.
The main area of camp contains a sitting room with sofas, chairs and a few coffee tables all positioned to optimize the view of the Chobe as it passes by. The dining room can also be found here as can the self-service bar area. There's also a plunge pool set amongst a separate seating area. A striking baobab tree stands next to the outside platform from where great views across the escarpment can be enjoyed.
Accommodation at Ngoma Safari Lodge comes in the form of one of eight suites. Each has a large double bed with mosquito net and looks out towards the flood plain. Screen mesh windows keep the insects out at night but allow a cooling breeze to flow through during the day. The en-suite bathroom is found at the rear of each suite on an elevated mantle. Here there's a bath set into the wall with his and her basins at each end of it and there's a separate large shower off to the side. There's also an outdoor shower somewhat quirkily set on the verandah with views down to the water but well screened by a wall of wooden poles.
Ngoma's activities include privately guided walking safaris accompanied by an armed Professional Guide. There are also full-day excursions on offer which include a cruise on the river as well as game drives within the Chobe National Park. Evening 4WD game drives are also on offer within the concession around the Lodge. Village and school visits can also be arranged.
Our viewNgoma Safari Lodge is a new addition to the quieter western end of the Chobe Riverfront area - with good design and fantastic views. Its large 'suites' are light, airy and well-designed with great views. Being in a forest reserve does allow the lodge to offer a wider variety of activities than if it stood in a national park. Combine this with the area having relatively lower densities of visitors than further west on the riverfront, and we are cautiously optimistic that Ngoma Safari Lodge will be popular when it's better known.

Character and Courage in Cooperstown
Hall of Famer Rod Carew helps honor exemplary youth during Museum's tribute to timeless values
By Craig Muder
October 08, 2011
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. – A Hall of Fame baseball career produces its share of awards, as Rod Carew can attest.
But at the end of the day, the seven American League batting titles, the 1967 AL Rookie of the Year Award and the 1977 AL MVP Award remain window dressing for Carew.
"The 1977 Roberto Clemente Award means the most of any award I have," said Carew, referring to the Major League Baseball Award that recognizes excellence on the field and in the community. "Roberto, along with Lou Gehrig and Jackie Robinson, define character and courage. And those three individuals are people that anyone would want to look up to."
Carew was in Cooperstown on Saturday to help celebrate the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum's annual Character and Courage Weekend. The 1991 Hall of Fame electee drew a near-capacity crowd to the Hall of Fame's Grandstand Theater – sharing stories from his career in the one-hour Voices of the Game program. As part of the event, the Hall of Fame honored three Central New York youngsters for Character and Courage in Action – celebrating their contributions to community causes. Katelyn Evans of Onondaga County, Alicia Sebeck of Otsego County and Megan Vann of Otsego County were recognized during the Voices of the Game program and at a reception afterwards.
"Thank you for all that you have done for your community," Carew told Evans, Sebeck and Vann. "Your actions are what help this country continue to grow."
In 2008, the Hall of Fame dedicated the Character and Courage statues in the Museum's foyer. The statues, which depict Hall of Famers Roberto Clemente, Lou Gehrig and Jackie Robinson, celebrate character and courage in baseball and in life, reflecting the achievements of Clemente, Gehrig and Robinson as beacons of these characteristics. Made possible through a gift of Hall of Fame supporter Bob Crotty, the statues are a permanent Museum exhibit.
Carew spent the entire weekend in Central New York, visiting the Syracuse VA Medical Center and Syracuse's Henninger High School on Friday to share his inspirational story. The 2011 Character and Courage Weekend is dedicated to baseball and its contributions to the military, and Carew credits his military service – as a Marine Corps Reservist in the 1960s – with shaping his career.
"When I joined the Marine Corps, it was a life-changing event for me because I learned about discipline," Carew said. "When I first came up to the big leagues in 1967, I was a little bit of a hot-head. But after two weeks of war games every summer, I realized that baseball was not do-or-die. That kind of discipline made me the player I became."
Carew finished his 19-year big league career with 3,053 hits and a .328 career batting average. He was named to 18-straight AL All-Star teams.
But it was his relationship with his teammates that helped turn a good hitter into a Hall of Famer.
"Tony Oliva, Zoilo Versalles, Bob Allison all showed me what it took to stay in the big leagues," Carew said. "And then there was Harmon Killebrew. His demeanor was unbelievable, he was always a gentleman.
"Those are the lessons you can't learn unless you have the right people around you. That's what character means."
Craig Muder is the director of communications for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum

Dallas Cowboys[edit]
Ogletree was signed by the Dallas Cowboys as an undrafted free agent.[2] On September 6, 2009, after making an impression on the team in training camp and the preseason, Ogletree was rewarded with a spot on the 53-man roster. He spent the entire 2009 NFL season with Dallas, making seven receptions. He was inactive for most of the 2010 NFL season. When his chance finally came to play more, he injured his toe and was placed on Injured Reserve. In 2012 Ogletree secured the position of 3rd receiver. He ended the 2012 opener against New York Giants with 8 catches, 114 yards and 2 TD's, continuing the success of slot receiver production from Patrick Crayton, Miles Austin and Laurent Robinson.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers[edit]
Ogletree signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on March 13, 2013. After 4 games into the 2013 NFL season, the Buccaneers released Ogletree. Kevin had caught 8 passes for 70 yards and a touchdown for the Buccaneers. [3]
Detroit Lions[edit]
Ogletree signed with the Detroit Lions on October 2, 2013, following an injury to the Lions' Nate Burleson. According to Ogletree, ""Who doesn't want to go play with Calvin Johnson and Matt Stafford and Reggie Bush? It's a perfect opportunity."[4]
Since signing with the Detroit Lions he has recorded 6 receptions for 95 yards with one touchdown. The touchdown came from a one handed catch during the Thanksgiving game against the Green Bay Packers.

As I started to talk about sunglasses trends for 2013, let's take a look at men's sunglasses for 2013 season. So, what do we know about sunglasses for men, they should be chosen carefully, as men always have to look strong, stylish and elegant. I favour a proportional mix of classic and bold design. For instance, the same Aviators styles can not be changed too much, as they always come with metal frames (if its not fake) and large dark lenses.
Yet lots of stylists advice us to try some colored frames with dark
lenses, as it's a combination of youth effect and masculinity.
Fashion never stops, that that many brands offer us oval, rectangular
and even triangular shape frames. These unusual designs are worn with
colored lenses (translucent brown, smoky gray, dark graphite), so that
gives a modern and even futuristic touch.

Nobody Cares - The 88
Depression Quest is an interactive fiction game where you play as someone living with depression. You are given a series of everyday life events and have to attempt to manage your illness, relationships, job, and possible treatment. This game aims to show other sufferers of depression that they are not alone in their feelings, and to illustrate to people who may not understand the illness the depths of what it can do to people.
Since the goal is to spread awareness, there is no minumum amount you need to pay to play the game. However, if you do choose to pay the developers for their efforts, a portion of the proceeds will be donated to iFred, a charity that aims to fight back against depression and the stigma against it.
This game is not meant to be a fun or lighthearted experience. If you are currently suffering from the illness and are easily triggered, please be aware that this game uses stark depictions of people in very dark places. If you are suicidal, please stop playing this game and visit this link to talk to someone.
The goal of this game is twofold: firstly, we want to illustrate as clearly as possible what depression is like, so that it may be better understood by people without depression. Hopefully this can be something to spread awareness and fight against the social stigma and misunderstandings that depression sufferers face. Secondly, our hope is that in presenting as real a simulation of depression as possible, other sufferers will come to know that they aren't alone, and hopefully derive some measure of comfort from that.
It goes without saying that because of the very nature of depression, it is experienced differently by every person who suffers from it. We aren't trying to say that this is the "best" or "most accurate" representation, merely that this is an amalgamation of the experiences of the developers and several people close to them. Many of the following encounters deal with issues such as therapy, medication, handling a love life, and reaching out to support networks. In reality, less than half of depression sufferers actually seek treatment, for reasons such as lack of money, perceived personal failing, or public stigma. These things were included in order to touch upon as broad a range as possible, since all these elements can be very important to sufferers of depression, though they will likely not be the experiences of most sufferers.
this got hard for me to play after a bit like sometimes it was waaaay too close to home
my heart started racing a few scenarios in, then i started slightly tearing up, then i started shaking, then "there's no reason to be ashamed if it's your brain that's sick instead" happened & the tears just hit me, but i still managed to finish it all thru my tears
if you CAN play this, you should
please heed the tw tho this is not a liteweight game in the least
i tried playing this
way way WAY too close to home
but it's great for teaching NT people about what depression is like.
thinking of forcing parents to play this
You feel what can only be described as mentally fidgety, like there's an unscratchable itch somewhere on your brain that is becoming increasingly hard to ignore.

Code of Conduct
The Lamar University Office of Student Financial Aid abides by the National Association of Financial Aid Administrator's federal Code of Conduct. We also adhere to a set of Fair Lending Practices found HERE.
*All Lamar University Students are required to use their lamar.edu email accounts for all email correspondence with financial aid staff, including updates and missing paperwork. It is recommended that you check your Lamar email account at least once a week.
*All financial aid notifications from the Lamar University Office of Financial Assistance will be sent to you via electronic means. All notifications and disclosures will be sent to your Lamar student email account. Financial aid notifications may include, but are not limited to: Award Letters, Missing Information Letter (MIL), Award Notifications, Loan Disclosure Notices, Change Form requests, General Application for Summer, Exit Notices due to graduation, Title IV Refund Calculation, Right to Cancel Letter, Entrance Counseling via the U.S. Department of Education and other financial aid business-related notices.
Each notice will identify the information required to be disclosed and provide an internet or intranet address where information can be found.
Upon request, individuals are entitled to a paper copy of the notice. Request for paper copies must be typed and signed and accompanied with a visible government issued photo I.D. Most financial aid forms may be downloaded by visiting financialaid.lamar.edu/.
*It is the responsibility of the student to inform the Office of Student Financial Assistance if a change in the student's classification has occurred (ex: from an Undergraduate (UG) to a Post Baccalaureate (PB) or Graduate (GR), etc.). This includes changing from a traditional student to an online academic partnership student and vice versa. Initial notifications of financial aid are tentative, and are based on the assumption that the student's classification is the same as the prior semester. It is essential that the student communicate any change in his/her classification to the financial aid staff during the period leading up to the beginning of each semester as it may impact the student's aid eligibility. If the student does not provide notification of this change it may not be until later in the semester that this is identified, potentially resulting in aid adjustments and possibly leaving the student with a balance owed to the university.
-The Office of Student Financial Assistance must receive notification that a student's impending graduation if they are graduating during any FALL term. This is considered a mid-year graduation and students' awards as well as budgets must be adjusted to reflect this.

Ahead of All Partingby Rainer Maria Rilke
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
This work contains representative poems from the author's early collections.
"This is, without any doubt, the best English rendering of Rilke. It is as faithful to the original as the translation of poetry can hope to be, faithful not only to its linguistic meaning but to its poetic expressiveness." Erich Heller
"Stephen Mitchell's translation of Rilke's most demandingly difficult and loveliest work instantly makes every other rendering obsolete. No doubt about it, Rilke has at last found, in Mr. Mitchell's version, the ideal poetics and the perfect translator." William Arrowsmith
"Perhaps the most beautiful group of poetic translations this century has produced." Chicago Tribune

Depends on your market goals, I would recommend to hold it Tata Comm is not a short trade share, its a long term investment, The company is fundamentally strong and this is just a correction in market. I will certainly balance your portfolio eventually. Dont book loss. If you have additional funds avg it out, but more of the shares at lower price (If your portfolio is already diverse and investing more in Com sector is not gonna bring you to knees).Answered by Ashok Maurya, 24 May '10 09:55 pm
