Impending storm could trigger the Metro "snow map"
This weekend, the Metrorail map might look like this:
No, it's not another drastic budget cut, but Metro's "snow map." If this weekend's snowstorm indeed turns out to be the worst December storm since 1982, Metro could shut down all aboveground service, creating a system about the same size as the rail system we had in 1982.
Metro is taking steps to keep the system open for as long as possible, treating parking lots and roadways and deicing sidewalks and platforms. It is likely that non-revenue trains will be run throughout the night tonight to keep the rails free of snow and ice. Some trains have been fitted with deicing equipment to keep the third rail clear.
Metro has canceled the track work previously planned for the Red and Blue lines.
If snow accumulation stays below 6 inches, Metro will likely operate as usual, though possibly with more delays as trains run more slowly and snow removal equipment will move through the system. Snow intake in the undercar components can cause malfunctions resulting in out-of-service trains.But should the accumulation of snow exceed 6-8 inches, Metro will likely suspend all above-ground service to protect equipment and will allow the agency to devote more resources to keeping the tracks clear.
Bus riders should check Metro's website for information on service disruptions. Routes on hills or narrow side streets will close first, with routes on snow emergency routes staying open longest.

Metro makes no guaruntee that bus service will be available from the final station which is open.
It's all contingent on the weather.

anyone know what amtrak does in a massive snow event? i'm supposed to be leaving tomorrow at 7:30 from union station, heading south to GA. any idea what'll happen if the tracks between richmond and DC are under 2 feet of snow?

A former acquaitance who has lived here all their life once mentioned that she got caught in one of these mega storms and was taken off at Fort Totten. Since the lower level is half-underground and the "outside" portion is protected, I don't think there'd be that much of a problem terminating Green Line service there. There are a lot more provisions for shuttle buses to Union Station/Glenmont/Greenbelt from there too.
Amtrak is dependent upon the railroads it uses to run. In the past, snowstorms have disrupted Amtrak services, stranding passengers.

Feel free to take up any disagreement with the map with Metro. It's their map.
While Fort Totten's lower level is partially underground, snow could easily drift onto the tracks, and because they're below grade, cannot easily be removed.

And why even offer a "Blue Line" service at all?
I LOVE the snow
it is only the people that think that they need to own and drive cars that forget that there is a beautiful landscape and fun to be had in the wintertime .
Of course- I live inside the areas where Metro is going to be open. I made that choice just for this reason- so that I wouldnt have to spend all of my spare waking hours while not at the job driving to work and maintaining a car lifestyle.And the payoff is that I dont have to worry about adverse weather, and can actually enjoy the snow and have the time to enjoy it- since there is no 4 hour round trip commute like so many of my co-workers have chosen.
If I had to drive 4 hours every day, I probably would not like the snow, either.
That happened to be on the same day as a horrible snow storm, which caused: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_Florida_Flight_90
The two fatal events happened within 30 minutes of each other, plus, the horrible snow meant that people were let out of work early, so the roads were all jammed.
Yeah, not a good day. Six years before I was born, though, so I don't say that having experienced it.
Anyway, if I have nothing better to do I'm going to try to ride back and forth between Crystal City and Pentagon. All day for $1.35!
They are predicting one foot this time. In 1996, we got three feet.
This storm would therefore be the worst storm since then.
Ditto with commuter rail. While they own 4 snow plows, they havent been used since....2002? The trains are big enough to move the snow on their own.
When there is a blizzard, train service is the best way to get around because some roads become impassable.
(And when the temperature falls below 20 degrees, like yesterday, instead of storing trains in the yards theyre kept in tunnels whenever possible, and other sections of track have trains moving 24 hours so they dont freeze)
It shouldn't be. This town is filled with self important idiots who think they might melt if they encounter a snowflake. Seriously - the grocery store was like something out of a disaster flick this afternoon.

I'm wondering why the Blue line service from Rosslyn to Stad-Armory? Why not just make them all Orange (or Blue)? And why is the segment from Pentagon to Crystal City Yellow instead of Blue? Seems rather arbitrary. :-}
Matter of fact why is the orange/blue above ground from the stadium parking lot to benning road + 34th street anyway why not just continue underground and come up for just the orange line.
When the system was built the blue line ended at stadium armory why didnt they continue underground when they were building the orangeline portion from there to atleast minnesota ave that way they could have served benning road, capitol hgts & maybe addision rd which is pretty covered when compared to the other outside stations before the extension the trains never went down the full platform they went enough for the train to fit which is the covered portion and just switched tracks in the tunnel as the portion beyond the station was a dead end.
Chicago is all elevated, anybody know if they have a snow schedule?
One note: In Boston (and I assume elsewhere) service has declined during storms because so many operators call in sick. Usually, this means bus runs are dropped in favor of rail runs.
When the last big snowstorm hit (must have been about six years ago) Metro was hobbled for days. The railcars sit outside. Apparently there are some electronic components on the undersides of the cars, and those things suck in snow if it's a foot thick. The water then shorts everything out, rendering the cars inoperable.
For days Metro did not have very many railcars as they fixed the ones that sat outside in the snow. When the Monday morning quarterbacking was over, they decided that in the event of a really bad storm they might be better off cutting service to a bare minimum and stashing railcars in the tunnels. They also created that snow map, which I saw a lot in the years after that storm but have not seen recently.
I don't think there is a good choice that WMATA can make here.
I'll bet that's why there's no service from Glenmont to Silver Spring, notwithstanding the tunnel.
Here's hoping they don't have to implement that map, though. I'm really not looking forward to figuring out how I'd have to get from Shady Grove to Medical Center. :(
I seem to recall that Metro closed all operations - including underground - for a day during a major snowstorm in the '90's. I think it was one of the March monsters.
They couldn't get their people in to work to service and operate the trains.
By the by, I wonder how many people won't be able to get back into Washington from the Global Warming Conference because of the massive snowstorm and freezing weather.
And I think it's a bit unfair to blame DC and Metro for not having the same response to snowstorms that Boston or Chicago or Montreal might have. Those cities need a major snow response infrastructure to survive. Here, we simply can't afford to spend scarce tax dollars to build systems and buy equipment for events that happen every couple of years. Last time I checked, Metro was financial trouble even when the sun was shining. Cut them a break.
CAPTCHA Oracle says: Hunting to
Metro will not be able to use its rail yards if snowfall exceeds 8 inches. The service on the underground portions of lines will be done with trains already in the subway. They will not return to the yard at the close of the day, and new trains will not be brought into service.
Many trains will be stored in tunnels to keep them from being trapped in the rail yards or damaged through snow intake.
None of Metro's rail yards are underground. Only the Glenmont rail yard feeds directly into a subway, but it itself is not underground. Largo has room east of the station for underground train storage.

This may be DC's opportunity to explore its underground cities. Four malls and a major downtown department store on the Metro system are directly connected underground to the stations. You can say you were shopping during the blizzard of '09.
Metrorail trains will stop serving above-ground stations at 1 p.m. today, Saturday, December 19, due to heavy snowfall that is covering the electrified third rail, which is situated eight inches above the ground. The third rail must be clear of snow and ice because it is the source of electricity that powers the trains. Metro officials believe that by 1 p.m. the exposed third rail will be covered by snow. All Metrobus and MetroAccess service also will stop at 1 p.m. because roadways are quickly becoming impassable.
Metro has 86 stations and 106-miles of track. Forty-seven stations along 50.5 miles of track are located underground and 39 stations along 55.5 miles of track are above ground. All 39 above-ground stations will close at 1 p.m. The modified underground service will operate as follows:
Yellow Line – Service from Pentagon to Crystal City only
Red Line – Service between Medical Center and Union Station only
Orange Line – Service between Ballston and Stadium-Armory only
Green Line – Service between Fort Totten and Congress Heights only
Blue Line – Service between Ballston (extended to Blue Line)
and Stadium-Armory only
"We have been monitoring the snowfall and the forecast closely since last night," said Metro General Manager John Catoe. "We ran trains throughout the night to keep the tracks clear of snow and ice, but we are fast-reaching the point where we risk trains becoming stranded on snow-covered tracks. To prevent that from happening, we will cease above-ground operations at 1 p.m."
The announcement was made at 11:45 a.m. to give customers some advance notice.
"These are unusual circumstances with all forecasts calling for record-levels of snowfall. They are calling for more than a foot of snow, and we cannot and will not operate in an unsafe environment," Catoe said. "Our first responsibility is for the safety of our customers and employees."
Once trains are shifted to underground travel, some maintenance trains without passengers in them will travel on the exposed tracks to try to keep the snow and ice clear of the tracks. These deicer trains will aid in the return of service because once the snow stops falling, it will be easier to resume above-ground service if snow has been cleared a few times.
The underground Metrorail stations will remain open until 3 a.m., the normal closing time for a Saturday night.
Rail customers are encouraged to use station elevators from the street level into and out of the stations as they are safer than escalators in this type of heavy snowfall.
All Metrobus service will halt at 1 p.m. Metrobus service ceased in Maryland and Virginia at about 11:30 a.m. as vehicles were not able to drive on snow-covered roads.
MetroAccess will not start any new trips after 1 p.m. due to poor road conditions. If someone took a trip prior to 1 p.m., their round trip home will be honored.
MetroÂ's customer call center also will close at 1 p.m. today.
Metro started the weekend with 2,200 tons of bulk rock salt to treat Metro roadways and parking lots and 18,000, 50-pound bags of de-icer for treating sidewalks and platforms. Hundreds of snow-trained employees and contractors have been working throughout the night and into today to treat snowy and icy surfaces at Metrorail stations including platforms, sidewalks and parking facilities.
Metro also is using "heater tape," which has been installed on sections of track with significant grades/inclines and in critical areas in the rail yards. The heater tape is a cable clipped onto the electrified third rail that is turned on when temperatures dip below the freezing mark. It helps keep the third rail warm enough to prevent ice from forming.
They need to get there s**t together; there phone system and website say two different things each should be using the same information to avoid confusing riders.
In places where cold weather and snow is common, the third rail is equipped with permanent 'heating tape' which is basically an electrical coil that draws power and generates heat, keeping the third rail free of ice and snow. Combine the heaters with running trains (as Metro is doing) and you can operate in these conditions - not seamlessly, but it can be done.
What about buses; I've been to Greenland and im sure the snow was deeper than what we have now but iam not positive and they were running.
Seriously, if DC got struck by a meteor, I would think people would find a way to blame John Catoe.
Its like the roofs of some of the newer metro stations and they completely cover the tracks around the train making them able to run in any type of weather.
Trains and buses can perfectly run in this type of weather by having other countries as examples the problem is that WMATA does not have the equipment and should maybe start investing in some.
There are people who still have to go to work hospitals, pet stores, zoo no matter what type of weather and they may not be able to get there today is basically a reason why the transportation system should be fully underground regardless of price which it would cost or to have a car even if you live in a transit rich area that doesn't mean you will be able to get where you need.
"But storms are rare" so are blackouts, but the system is full of emergency lights. Ditto with rare fires and sprinklers. Transportation systems should be designed to move people in an emergency.
From todays Boston emergency snow declaration:
"Mayor Menino urges everyone to use public transportation when traveling, as a citywide parking ban will be in effect through the duration of the Snow Emergency."

A profit is a plus but is not expected it is a service for the people.
They are just like social services in the sense they are there to help the community.
People have to still go to work all don't have cars and what are they supposed to do all some may and some may not let people get off and some will get fired if they don't come, every job does not give leave.
In Moscow, I'm sure that a storm happens every few years that causes large parts of the system to not work. Same with Alexandria, Egypt, I'd bet.
Think of it like snow days at school. Sure, in DC, a few inches of snow will cancel school, while in Anchorage, a few feet wouldn't cause any problems. But the infrastructure of the respective cities makes it so that school only has to be canceled a few days a year. I'm sure that Anchorage gets the occasional blizzard with 10 feet of snow, and even they can't handle it.
Don't invest in complicated snow removal equipment if you'd use it once every five years.
Catoe has been here for three years. He's had three years to fix a design flaw. Not done. Failed again.
I don't blame him for a record snowfall. I blame him for not managing the problem earlier.
He was also 36 hours late in announcing the possibility of closures. Metro communications fails again.
So he's failed twice this storm.
It all comes to money. it's been said on this thread before, but the cost of making this system perform in snow akin to Boston or Moscow would be an irresponsible waste of money. To make that happen, we'd have to cut other things that, in perspective, most riders care more about. Suppose the trains all ran today - they'd still have record low ridership. So, riddle me again why it's good sense to take safety risks (another issue we hold Catoe accountable to) and financial risks to ensure the trains run in a once-in-a decade (if not 20 years!) storm.
Pause. Look outside. This didn't fall over the whole season (like in Moscow or Toronto). This fell in one day. 20" of snow even in Iceland would make 'em pause for a few hours to get it cleared and safe. I think the expectations here are a bit out of step with reality.
And as David Alpert said, it's a matter of priorities. We don't have the money to supply normal levels of service on a clear sunshiny day, and you folks here want Metro to divert money to prepare for something that happens rarely in DC. We're more likely to get struck by a hurricane here than a blizzard!
And for all the whiny, why no hate to our highway departments. Our roads were a mess too, and unless all of our hospitals and pet stores were relocated to subway lines while I wasn't looking, those employees were still going to have major difficulty getting to work, whether they drove, transfered to bus or walked!
This is still the South.
I also just remembered, someone mentioned the "snow intake" problem that the trains have. I remember reading how many many moons ago, the MBTA (Boston) had the same issue. Turns out, a staff member found a $2 fix (homemade filter). Now all the trains have them.
Hell, even if he were to resign, people would complain that he didn't do it soon enough.
Talk about your no-win scenarios.
And if a train with passengers on it lost contact with the rail and got stranded out in the snow, people would crucify Catoe for that.Guess what happened today,
Tony Dorsey was on the Orange Line between the Dunn Loring and Vienna stations when the train stopped shortly after 1 p.m. The operator initially announced that they were returning to Dunn Loring, Dorsey said, then said no one was going anywhere; the train's brakes were frozen.Dorsey said he and other passengers were stranded for nearly 2 1/2 hours until another piece of equipment arrived and dragged the train back to the station. Metro said 10 customers were stranded for about 90 minutes. Steven Taubenkibel, a Metro spokesman, blamed the stoppage on the weather, and said customers eventually were driven to their destinations by Metro supervisors.
Dorsey, 39, of Linden, Va., said he and his fellow riders bonded during their wintry ordeal. "In times of turmoil and deprivation, humans really become human," he said.
There are always a wait and see company
The icing equipment to keep rail lines in clear could be added to small portions of the line such as the eastern blue/orange line which could at least serve two stations in that part of dc & md benning road capitol hgts or the blue line between rosslyn and pentagon.
WMATA is an incompetent company but not for the reason above but because they don't follow there own information take today
There phone line at 637-7000 said things completely different than there website wmata.com.
They do things that defy logic and give no reason for doing so like the glenmont,wheaton,forest glen thing which is closed but reading there press release you would assume its open by saying metro is serving underground stations but then continuing reading the rest they list stations open and there aren't which would leave consumers confused.
They said there customer service would be open until 1pm it was closed well before then about 12pm.
When they announced the system was basically closing on the site they said Metrorail is closing in giant print whereas the parts for Metrobus and Metroaccess were in small print under it all should have been the same size.
Actually what they should have done was put up a new index page for the emergency and say Metro bus/rail/access will cease at 1pm except for rail in underground stations.
I knew about the MTA light rail delay due to frozen switches and the few SEPTA delays, but that was just before I posted. Before noon SEPTA and MTA were running fine, and the Baltimore Metro, which travels above ground for about 2/3 of the line didn't have any delays.
"This is still the South."
Oh, you must live on that side of the Potomac.
Anyway, before noon KT, THERE WASN'T THAT MUCH SNOW IN PHILADELPHIA. There was about 3 or 4 inches on the ground up there then. And at about 8 or 9 am with comparable amount of snow, Metro was running fine, too. By the time the storm got going up in Philadelphia, SEPTA was reporting delays of 30-45 minutes. That laudable, but that doesn't win it awards for "near normal service". That said, I'd argue interior MD and Pennsylvania would get more snow than we do. We are further south, and close enough to the Atlantic Ocean that we deal much more often with sleet, freezing rain and just old fashioned rain. Snows do not last here as long. We frequently get winds from the east in these storms, which warms things up, again making it harder for major snow accumulations to happen here. Getting a big snowstorm here is akin to winning the lottery, given how much has to go right for it to happen. Yay, we won this year. The last time we did was back in 2003.
Oh, and of 2003. I was driving back here from my childhood home of Detroit, Michigan. I was there to attend a funeral. I drove into that blizzard as I was coming here. The snow started as I traveled into Pennsylvania. The roads did not get horrible until I entered Maryland. I grew up and lived in places that know how to handle snow. Maryland is not great shakes when it comes to heavy snow, but other than Western Maryland, I don't expect you to be. I hate to break it to you, but you're the South as well.
I understand what your saying
I'm saying that WMATA needs to do a better job at communicating there press releases often don't make sense; are confusing and are not the same as there spokespeople say on the news/radio and what is presented on the phone line. Like many companies you can call Wmata one minute speak to someone and get one answer and call again and get another answer thats totally different.
Some things could be done to make the system better such as taking preventive measures way before the start of any weather. or including things so that some stations above ground could be served so that large portions of the area are served with something especially places where there are not many car owners.
My main question was why were the 3 stations in va open while the 3 underground on the red line were not WMATA gave no answer to why it was done.
A company should be upfront about things and people would be more acceptable to things.
What kind of de-icing equipment? They had stuff they were using.
The point is, when you get this much snow, you're going to be scrambling no matter what. At its peak, snow was accumulating at 2 inches an hour - a rate that would make some ski resorts jealous. Even for permanent de-icing equipment, you're well beyond the design parameters by that point.

A collection of 24 new art songs by 21 American composers
for medium high (C4-F5 Tessitura) and high voice
now in one volume!
Available from Classical Vocal Reprints (CVR #3834) 1-800-298-7474
CD Available!
At long last there is a genuinely new collection of art song for the sacred service. This important anthology of American Art Song for the Sacred Service compiled and edited by Dr. Karen Leigh-Post (Lawrence University, WI) contains 24 songs by 21 American composers. While you may recognize many of the composer's names (Libby Larsen, Stephen Paulus, Paul Crabtree, Alan Hovhaness) few of the songs have been published previously.
Disappointed by volumes of the same tired classical repertory repackaged in
the guise of new editions, Dr. Post found inspiration for this project when
she heard a local composer's art songs performed in recital. Abraham
to Kill Him, by J. Halvor Benson, is just what she had been seeking in a sacred
song – the telling of a timeless message with superb poetry in a musical
language that gives voice to the modern soul.
For centuries our worship services have enjoyed the solo vocal literature
of musical giants such as F. Schubert (Ave Maria), G. Fauré (En priere)
or W. A. Mozart (Alleluia) and G. F. Handel (I Know that My Redeemer Liveth).
More recently the songs of Ralph Vaughan Williams (The Call) or Benjamin Britten
(Ceremony of Carols) have fed our spirits while, with the exception of A.
Copland (At the River) or L. Bernstein (Simple Song), American composers have
been underrepresented. In publishing American Art Song for the Sacred Service
Dr. Post seeks, at least in part, to fill the chasm between modern concert
repertory and contemporary worship and praise music. In addition, this collection
provides a much needed new source of songs with organ as well as piano. To
assure quality, objectivity and a broad base of knowledge and taste, a panel
of judges was gathered to review submitted compositions. The standards were
high. Each song had to satisfy the needs of the composer, poet and performer
to assure its endorsement by classically trained musicians. Furthermore, in
keeping with today's global awareness, the anthology has embraced a
truly ecumenical spirit.

Hey Cheify,
Great to hear from you!
It's going great out here. Worked the last couple of days for Noon Orsatti and got a few things lined up as well. Looks like it's going to be a busy summer.
Christine is getting her Louisiana Chiro license and starts working for a local doctor part time. She's also working Background on all of these shows out here. She was working yesterday on "Memphis Beat" and got to hang out with Scott and Carrie. She really enjoys working Extra.
All in all, this was a good move for us and a s long as I'm working we'll be living out here in the south.
Give everyone my love!

A Ruined Program
A recent topic in the sporting world that has been sweeping the news has been the fall of Penn State and Joe Paterno. The allegations against Sandusky, one of the assistant football coaches were shocking for all to hear. Sandusky had reportedly engaged in unlawful sexual behaviors with minors during a camp. This just makes me sick to my stomach because immediately after the allegations were proved to be true Joe Paterno, the head coach of Penn State was fired. Paterno had coached for 40 something glorious years and just because of this scandal his image and legacy are now ruined. To make matters worse he recently revealed that he also has cancer. I feel sorry for Joe Paterno because of this scandal.

My current goal for Derelict is to finish it by year's end. Not just "I have a complete draft," but "I have a complete draft that has been through several revisions and is now in good enough shape for me to start submissions while working on my next book."
In some ways, I'm scarily close. 90K words written, and over the past couple of weeks I've basically hashed out the ending — which has been the main hang-up for the last, oh, year or so. Of course the ending I'm going with means that most of the beginning, after first couple of chapters, gets to be yanked out and sent to the chop shop, where any usable parts will be sold to the highest-bidding chapters. But I digress.
It is worth noting that, in other ways, I am scarily not close. Most of the book is going to receive a pretty harsh shuffling; there will be many casualties among the scenes currently written, a lot of stuff needs to be rewritten, and some things I'll just have to see when I get there. I think four months will do the trick, though.

Many employees are bringing their smartphones and tablets with them to the office—and employers need to be prepared, says attorney Brian Jackson. BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) is here.
The technology has gotten ahead of us. "We're faced with technologies that the legal system has not yet addressed," says Jackson, an associate in Fisher & Phillips' Chicago office. There's very little case law out there to tell employers what the courts will expect of them if an employee cries foul and sues.
Most commonly, employees would be likely to charge invasion of privacy. Jackson says. "In the absence of case law, here are the best business practices we [employment attorneys] can recommend."
There was a time, not so long ago, when all the electronic and telecommunications equipment in the workplace belonged to the employer. So HR pros had clear policies:
"You should use the tools we provide primarily for business purposes, and you should have no expectation of privacy in your communications. We reserve the right to monitor the websites you visit, especially if we have any reason to suspect you're accessing illegal sites or sharing our proprietary information."
And, when an employee was laid off or fired, HR and MIS simply cooperated to cut off the person's access to the computer and the company's network and server. But all that's now out the window.
HR budget cuts? Let us help. HR.BLR.com is your one-stop solution for all your HR compliance and training needs. Take a no-cost, no-obligation trial and get a complimentary copy of our special report Critical HR Recordkeeping—From Hiring to Termination. It's yours—no matter what you decide.
Think instead, as many HR people have begun to do, about employees' use of social networking sites. You'll often see a mixture of business and personal use, and you need to tread carefully if you access someone's Facebook page. (LinkedIn is normally more business-oriented.
Now you need to kick it up a notch to allow employees—and you certainly should do so—to use their tablets or smartphones at work. On those devices you have a true mixture: Any employee is likely to have a combination of business e-mails, staff presentations, memos-in-progress—and family pictures and a host of other personal material.
Jackson recommends you implement two overarching principles:
First, tell employees that they must create separate folders for business and personal material, and clearly mark them as such.
Second, you and your MIS team will need what Jackson refers to as a "mobile management system" that covers company-owned and employee-owned electronic devices.
That means MIS can access employees' personal devices no matter where the devices are. Then, once an employee has either left the company or reported the device lost or stolen, MIS can "wipe" all the business information from it, leaving the employee's private data untouched.
Armed with those two basics, you're protected. And, your employees will benefit, especially in productivity, from using their devices at work.
Find out what the buzz is all about. Take a no-cost look at HR.BLR.com, solve your top problem, and get a complimentary gift.
In addition, says Jackson, consider the following:
One final piece of advice from BLR editors: Take special care when non-exempt employees use devices outside of normal work time—there could be wage and hours obligations.

The Bravo Difference
Many companies provide wellness and screenings, but there are important differences to consider. As results-based wellness experts, here are some critical points for your wellness program that showcase The Bravo Difference.
Flexible & Custom: We offer a consultative and innovative approach in administering a program that works best for your culture.
Union or non-union. Employees in one state or thirty. One insurance provider or four. On-site or remote employees. Bravo knows there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all wellness solution. We have the technology and flexibility to offer customized wellness solutions that accommodate your organization. We will use our expertise to guide you through the planning process and ensure you have a wellness program that is not only effective, but fully compliant and fair for your employees.
Protection: We review your program for compliance and we contractually accept responsibility.
Bravo's experience enables our team to keep you out of harm's way, making sure that the "t's are crossed and the i's are dotted" relative to plan compliance. Our proprietary technology was built to specifically serve this purpose, and everything is time stamped, tracked and is fully secure and independently audited to comply with some of the highest standards in the industry.
Seamless Integration: We make HR's life simple.
Whether you are looking to optimize your existing wellness program, or are starting from scratch, we can help. We work closely with your HR team to provide extensive communication materials, industry-leading technology and expertise to seamlessly integrate a wellness solution for your organization's culture.
Experts: We know the rules and best practices, and are the industry leader.
Bravo Wellness has extensive knowledge of the rules, regulations and trends that guide and define results-based wellness. This knowledge and expertise in compliance, appeals and plan designs will ensure a successful program. Just ask our 260+ clients and 200,000+ participants.
In-House Appeals: We keep your program fair and guide participants through the process.
When "automatic" or "participation-based" appeals are administered, participants may just "breeze through" without really improving their health and the return on investment of your program could be negatively impacted. We recommend a different approach. At a minimum, it is vital to have a system in place that provides an alternative way to qualify if it is medically inadvisable or unreasonably difficult for the participant to meet a goal. In many cases, employers also allow alternatives in the absence of a medical issue. The key is to get each participant's attention and help them manage what they should be able to control. We work with each individual and their own healthcare provider to determine a progress-based goal that is reasonable for them. This is a "high-touch" approach, but it demonstrates our ultimate flexibility, making the program truly reasonable for all.
Bilingual Call Center: We provide a helpful voice at the other end of the line, not an automated response.
Bravo provides a live 8AM – 8PM Eastern time bilingual call center with trained customer support specialists to provide answers and support to our clients and participants. The satisfaction and success of participants is our top priority. We know some people might have questions or concerns while going through the program, and they can't always be answered by an online FAQ or an automated telephone system.
Decision Support Platform: We take some of the guess work out of choosing the right goals and incentives.
Wouldn't it be great if you could know beforehand what the health and financial results of your wellness program will be, based on the goals and incentives you choose? With Bravo's proprietary Decision Support Platform, we work with you to model different scenarios of goals and incentives, and predict the financial and health results of each scenario. You can be confident knowing you've made the right choice to meet the goals of your wellness program.
IncentiSoft Solutions: We work with and support your existing wellness program.
Do you already have a wellness program and just need help managing the details? Bravo's wholly owned subsidiary, IncentiSoft Solutions, provides the data management, compliance and technology to optimize your current wellness program. Our state-of-the-art technology integrates seamlessly with your current program and tracks participation, biometric screening results, appeals and alternative goals, and generates a custom eligibility and/or payroll file.

Top 10 pick in the 2012 class.
Tom Crean is slowly bringing back the shine to Assembly Hall.
Top 10 pick in the 2012 class.
Tom Crean is slowly bringing back the shine to Assembly Hall.
Center Grove Trojans
2008 5A Football State Champs
2011 Track State Champs
Yep, that's a good recruit. Crean has to fight off for one more year (until official signing is allowed) all the other big name schools who will be after him.
Those who worried me by saying Crean was going to continue his Marquette approach of mostly getting small guys look to be wrong. He's picking up a bigger man or two in every class. At first he couldn't get any who were highly regarded, because Indiana's rep had dropped too far. But he's got athletic bigger guys signing up now.

"It's crazy how the Indianapolis Motor Speedway can make you so emotional. I went from the highest of highs to the lowest of lows in less than 24 hours." - Alex Tagliani
Read an NBC sports article on the signing. Says Crean is doing well at "building a wall around Indiana" as far as convincing instate kids to play for IU. Perea plays on the same AAU team as two other Indiana recruits. They say he is "raw" offensively, with scouts "drooling" over his atheletic running, jumping, and wingspan, so I wouldn't think one and done. But they say he does have a half decent midrange jumper. Perea is the kid a Baylor assistant was after and that coach got in trouble with the NCAA for sending Perea's coach in Columbia text messages making promises to the coach that broke the rules. Perea changed his mind from Baylor and chose IU.
Here's a video of what must be his go-to offensive move. The dunk followed by a pullup on the rim.
Baylor coach apparently threatened to have Perea deported if he didn't agree to go to Baylor. Lots of bad smell in the air around Baylor. Who wouldda thunk it from a Drew?
Seeing as Baylor suddenly began getting commits from each top recruit they went hard after, I began to think it coming from Drew. I mean, it's BAYLOR. Usually when a school goes from middling to all of a sudden the hot destination there's a reason. Surprising. But I didn't think Todd Leary was a crook either.
This is a big recruit for IU in more ways than one. First it sheds the image, as mentioned above, that Crean can't land talented big men and/or highly ranked Indiana prospects. Second, IU is on the verge of possibly getting commitments from Yogi Ferrel, a highly rated PG from Indianapolis for the 2012 class and Cody Zeller, a highly rated big man from Washington, IN for the 2011 class. This will certainly help IU's chances of landing these top 40 talents. Third, this guy is a prototypical Big 10 stud. He is not super polished offensively but he is a rebounding and shot-blocking machine.
IU's recruiting class this year was a disappointment, but their 2012 class could be one of the best in school history. And Zeller is a top-20 player who would have an immediate impact next year. They also have 2 recuitments for the 2014 class from 2 Indiana guys who are ranked in the top 10 of their class.
It's been a very difficult and humbling experience after Sampson screwed the program and we basically lost the entire team. But Crean's hard work is finally paying off. There is an article on ESPN.com about Indiana's strong ties to the Indiana Elite AAU team which is the team that all the guys above have or will played for. Indiana has been producing really top shelf talent in recent years which has been heavily raided by Ohio St, UK, and other out of state teams. It appears this trend might be ending.
After a decade of complete turmoil it finally appears Indiana Basketball is going to be a national powerhouse again.
"You make one **** of a caucasian Jackie." The Dude Lebowski
Dude has a wingspan of 7'4".
IU fans resorting to the, bank of the next big recruiting class to save Indiana Basketball mantra, gotta love it.
Also, I wouldn't shoe-in both Yogi Ferrel and Cody Zeller just yet. From what I've heard, it could be a package deal and don't rule out Butler or UNC. However, I do think it will come down to Butler and IU.
If IU doesn't get Zeller or Ferrel next season, then what?? Will IU fans be patient enough to wait for an unpolished 6'8 big man to save Crean's job and IU basketball??
I think it is hard to call this year's class as disappointing. It filled in pieces in a puzzle. GMM is a JC big man, looks like he is better than Jobe or Bawa and fills the gap until Jurkin comes in in 2012. His recruit basically shows Zeller if he comes to IU he will not paly center, which word has been he does not want to play.
Victor and Will are very athletic and can fill in different spots off the bench. From what I have heard Will is kind of a Randy Wittman type, maybe jumps better, Good shooter on wing. Victor is very athletic, good rebounder for his size and for several years IU has had trouble competing on the boards, Victor probably helps there and will light up the crowd with some break-aways. They are 4 year players who will get more time each year. I have not heard anything like this but I would fear one might transfer as they see their playing time going down when that 2012 class comes in. I think Victor stays because he is pretty close to Creek,
As far as Hanner goes, I fear he is a one and doner. I hope not, think he needs to improve his outside shot. I saw him over the summer in some games and he is a freak of nature. He gets up so fast, so explosive. He and Jurkin played well together near the basket, will give the ball up to the one who is in best position to score.
That 2012 class potentially is the best class I can ever recall at IU. And then in 2014, you add the 2012 pieces with Lyles and Blackmon and IU could be a national contender again.. They will make noise in the national tourney after 2012 but you add Lyles and Blackmon to what will be there and it is tough to imagine that team.
And there is no evidence Crean is doing it with any help from someone like World Wide Wes or some agent directing players there. Get IU back to where it should be and Crean will have a better chance to cherry pick top national talent in years the state of Indiana does not have the talent coming out the next 4 years.
One more tough season but Indiana fans can see over the mountain top.
Well after having the equivalent of the death penalty in terms of losing an entire roster post-Sampson and losing out on 2 plus years of recruiting momentum, the recent plethora of IU recruiting success has been great for the fans. Talent doesn't always equate to wins, but it is certainly easier when you have really good players. The impact of one class can completely turn around a program as evidenced by Purdue's Senior class.
IU fans I know have been very pessimistic the past 2 years (obviously), so we mostly are still in a glass half-empty state. Yogi and Cody certainly could still go elsewhere, but IU's verion of Trackside Online (Peegs) has had quite a bit of info indicating that IU is the team to beat for both players. Zeller's brother currently plays at UNC and Roy has been recruiting him heavily, but Cody has made a half-dozen official and unofficial visits to IU in the past few months. Yogi has been down even more. The only way they play together is at IU, as UNC isn't recruiting Yogi and Butler has given up on Cody.
That said, IU already has 3 solid commitments for the 2012 class (Jurkin, Patterson, Perea) all of which are ranked in the top 150 for their class. There are also 2 other top-40 ranked Indiana players (Harris, Holloway) that are seriously considering IU. If IU lands Yogi and either Harris or Holloway it would have the #1 recruing class in the country with 3 or 4 five star players. This isn't just a best case scenario, it is a very real possibility.
I'm still very cautiously optimistic on Zeller, but he would make an immediate impact next year for IU. IU has a fairly talented class of Sophomores now, the most talented of which (Creek) got hurt midway last season and is still recovering. On paper, IU should be good next year if they get Zeller.
It's a longway away at this point, but IU also has recruits from 2 top-10 Indiana kids for the 2014 class. One of which is the son of former Marion/UK great James Blackmon.
The point to all this is IU has finally regained some serious recruiting momentum in the state of Indiana which bodes well for the future. This is something that hasn't been the case for well over a decade. The end of the Bob Knight era saw many great Indiana kids go elsewhere. Mike Davis had no idea how to recruit Indiana (lost Sean May from Bloomington North! and son of IU great Scott May) and Kelvin Sampson self-imploded after landing Indiana's best recruit in 15 or 20 years.
I won't be talking any smack to Purdue or Butler fans for quite some time, but neither program has really capitalized on their on-court success from the past few years in terms of recruiting. Instead somehow Tom Crean is getting great kids to commit to a program coming off it's worst 2 season in decades. It's a fairly impressive feat.
These are all good points. It is too early to call this year's class a disappointment. I do think GMM will make an immediate impact in terms of rebounding and blocked shots, plus he is able to finish down low. These are all things IU has been greatly missing the past 2 years. VO and Will should provide some depth and competition, something else that's really been lacking. This year's team will be much more athletic and should play better defense.
My only point was that last year's class was very impressive given that Crean had basically just arrived and inherited a program with an atmosphere of nucliear fallout. I expected more out of this year's class, but we just missed on a few really good players (Irving who went to Duke and Abraham who went to Georgetown) as Crean had to put all his eggs in a few baskets out of desperation. IU had basically no chance of getting of the really good Indiana players who graduated in 2010 as they were so far behind in recruiting.
Butler and to the lesser extent Purdue don't need to bank on top ten recruiting classes year end and year out to be successful programs, their respective product speaks for themselves. Butler has been very upfront on the M.O. of not recruiting players they know they can't get. Seems Butler recruiting Cody Zeller was a direct effect of the on-court success the last few years, especially this past season. It is the first I've heard of Butler giving up on Zeller, from what I've heard he was at a Butler practice within the last week or so. So, if Butler has given up on recruiting him, it has been very recent. Let me preface in saying that it would be absolutely recruiting coup if Butler got Zeller and I would totally love it, but his two older brothers who I think were considered top recruits have in simple terms been average players at best and at most simply role players. True, it has been said Cody is the best of the three brothers, but I wouldn't be quick to say he will be a significant contributor at first.
So as an IU fan, are you ok with banking on stellar recruiting classes, at least on paper, and in turn possibily having a different team year in and year out if a couple of those top ten recruits go pro?? Similar to UK?
I completely agree with your comments relating to Butler. Their system wins and to be honest, it would be somewhat of a gamble IMHO if they started taking 5 star prospects. With respect to Zeller, yes over the past few weeks Butler has basically dropped out via their actions. Zeller had his official visit to IU this past weekend and has been in Bloomington 2 other times in the past month. He had his official visit to Butler maybe a month ago which I think is the only time he has visited there. Crean and Roy Williams were both in Washington, IN last week JUST to watch his high school team scrimmage before school. Stevens I don't think has been to see Zeller for quite some time which is usually indicative on what recruiting priorities a coach has.
From an IU fan standpoint, no I don't want to see IU go the UK route and have too many one and doners. IMHO UK will never win a title with that approach because Calipari isn't good enough of an Xs and Os guy. IU has never relied on that approach in the past either. Of all the kids IU is recruiting for the next few years, Perea is the only one I could see is a one and doner just because of his unbelievable athletic ability. Plus if IU lands the guys they are expected to land, they won't be dependent on just one player.
Zeller is much more highly rated than his brothers. He has a better shot and is more mobile. I'm not sure if he has NBA quality talent but all signs point to him being a very good Big 10 player. The importance of Zeller for IU is as much symbolic as it is his actual talent. IU has lost out on too many great Indiana players, 2 of which helped UNC win national titles (May, Montross). Getting Zeller and these other guys from Indiana sends a message that the state will no longer be a place that anyone can come and get top players. Perception, to a certain extent, is very important in recruiting and if IU lands these guys for 2012 the perception will be that IU is on the way back to being a perennial power.
But to compete for conference championships and national titles you have to have some 4 and 5 star caliber players. It's somewhat different for Butler as they have had superior talent vs. other teams in their league for some time. However, Howard and Heyward were somewhat highly ranked so it's not like their players were 1 or 2 star players. Their biggest strength is, similar to Wisconsin, they have been running the same philosophy for over a decade even with their coaching changes.
As far as Purdue goes, Painter has yet to prove he can win without talent. The "Big 3" they have as Seniors this year were all very highly rated recruits who made an immediate impact once joining Purdue. Painter has gotten some fairly good other players, with more on the way, but nothing compares to that single recruiting class. I expect Painter to lead Purdue to the tourney each year, but it will be interesting to see if he can consistently get them to the Sweet 16 and further on a consistent basis.
During the Keady years, people sometimes forget how much talent those teams had. It wasn't just a bunch of small white guys from Indiana thrown together. During the years they were really successful they always had NBA caliber players - Lewis, Robinson, Martin, Landry, Miller, Cardinal. Most of those guys were fairly highly rated in high school.
If you are going to cook a gourmet meal, the vast majority of the time you need to have high qualilty ingredients. It doesn't mean the meal always turns out as expected, but having good ingredients certainly makes things easier.
I don't think Butler has given up on Cody Zeller, but there is only so much they can do. His rather frequent visits to Bloomington seem to suggest IU will be his pick. I suspect Butler is probably second on his list and UNC third, because I think he wants his parents to be able to come to his games on a regular basis. But this is a contest where who's second or third doesn't matter. BTW, this is just a guess on my part. I don't know the Zeller family, and I don't know anyone who does.
The purported Zeller sighting at a recent Butler practice was a case of mistaken identity. It was actually Center Grove senior (and Butler verbal commit) Andy Smeathers who was there.
Matt Painter has yet to prove he can win without talent? To my knowledge, that could be said of everyone who ever coached a basketball team.
"If there is a place on Earth synonymous with race cars, it is Indianapolis." -- Bernie Ecclestone
"No matter where you go in the world, you say Indianapolis and they don't think about football or basketball, they think about the race." -- Richard Petty
Do a quick Wikipedia search of Purdue's record for the 04/05 & 05/06 seasons. I'll save you a minute, they were 7-21 and 9-19. They lost David Teague and Carl Landry (talent) and couldn't win without them. They got both back the next season and went 22-12. Since the "big 3" at Purdue arrived (talent) they have won 25, 27, and 29 games the past 3 years.
Talent obviously makes any coach better. It's impossible to win with poor talent, only great coaches win with average talent. Keady and Knight both had some very successful seasons with some teams with average talent.
Good posts, Matt & Danny. Typical anti-IU BS from DYLI at first but actually got into some decent b-ball discussion later.
I was a Matt Painter fan before my PU buddies got on board. He's a good coach who can recruit. That's a pretty good combination.
Tom Crean took a job that virtually nobody else wanted. He's survived a couple of brutal seasons at a school where 20 wins a year has the fan base upset. But he's finally getting it done. I have many IU friends who were ready to give up on him last year. Ridiculous.

The almighty job of renovating our kitchen has begun. This is the room we have wanted to do the most, but it's the most expensive so far so we have had to wait. Here's how the kitchen was before we started work. This picture makes it look a lot wider then it is! And cleaner! And less shabby!!
The cupboard under the sink housed dog paraphernalia (it's amazing how much stuff two dogs can collect) and various house cleaning products. Oh and some salad and mixing bowls, and some vases! The corner cupboard to the left was where all our crockery was stored. It was treacherous opening it as most stuff was precariously balanced. If you ever felt like baking all crockery needed to be removed first before you could get anywhere need the baking trays!! It was usually enough to put you off any spontaneous baking. We also kept our pots and pans in here too. The wall cupboard to the right housed our boiler. The wall cupboard on the left housed glasses and food. It was a tight squeeze so we also ended up with a shelving unit from the shed in there too for more food and drink storage.
On the floor there were the original tiles however as the kitchen is in the old extension on the back of the house, it doesn't have proper foundations and the tiles are pretty much straight on top of the ground. It got very cold in there in the winter, you could feel the cold creeping up your shins. The fact there was no heating didn't help either! Jus and I would take it in turns to run in there to make a cuppa when we first moved in! We did have lino down when when we rented the house, until my Dad's dog Mimi came for a holiday. She took it upon herself to remove the lino one day and tear it up into little pieces in her bed. We aren't sure if Bramble and Holly were also involved but the fact that Mimi collected all the little pieces in her bed didn't help her defence! We had to buy the house after that!
The original layout of doors and windows in the kitchen meant it was difficult to make good use of the already small space. It measures 2m 90cm by about 2m 20, and has two doors and window. To make better use of the space Jus and I had the doorway into the room moved to the centre of the wall, when we had work done on the dining room. Click here to see that post.
We have now gone from the picture above to this…
and then from that to this…
We removed the kitchen and the plumber has replaced and moved the boiler. Our original plan had been to simply move the original boiler as it worked fine, however finding a new flue for our cheap boiler was proving expensive. The boiler was about 5-6 years old already so would possibly have needed replacing in the next couple of years. It worked OK, but at the moment we have an electric shower, which will be going. Running a bath off it had never been great so running a shower off it as we plan to would have been difficult. So we reluctantly had to pay out for a new boiler much sooner then expected, and this added a significant amount to our kitchen budget. However it is done now, and there was always the potential that moving the old boiler may have damaged it anyway. The pipes running to and from the boiler have also been moved to allow for the building work we are currently having done.
Today the builders and Tom have raised the floor so it is suspended and insulated and therefore hopefully much warmer. They have also bricked up the old back door and put a window in, and removed all the old plaster off the walls. Tomorrow they will be knocking the wall out under the old window, and turning it into a door. The brickwork is also being changed so the back door is opposite the entrance into the ktiichen to allow 60cm of kitchen cabinets either side. Hopefully turning our postage stamp kitchen into a much more user friendly galley kitchen! Hooray!
Meanwhile the rest of our house looks like this…
We didn't dare start the work without knowing we were able to buy the kitchen on interest free finance first from Ikea, and then it was delivered far quicker then we imagined. So that is in the dining room, along with all our food, crockery and other kitchen things, plus the builder's tools and materials, and all the stuff that was already in the dining room. Lets hope we aren't living like this for too long. And yes that last picture is the silhouette of Toms keys marked out by the dust that escaped through the dust sheets and into our living room. It is everywhere!!

Nightline Takes on Slappy Miscavige
October 24, 2009 by XENU TV
Filed under Latest News, Must See, U.S. Broadcasts
ABC's Nightline has done a two-part report based on the amazing St. Pete Times articles about David Miscavige's physical and mental abuse of Scientology staff.
What I don't understand is, how come the self-published "Miscavige is great" issue of Freedom Magazine didn't handle the flap? Who is to blame, Slappy? Who will you lash out at this time?
Here's the first day's report:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYGX-nM5vBM[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vs7bxL0Bqro[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePrAlaa9-Fk[/youtube]
Day Two centered on Scientology's celebrities:
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVQ0X71ZOh4[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N4uyQ5E6KQ[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjKfR_MDHTY[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dq6ouHkcFY[/youtube] [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ORIkltnnGs[/youtube]
Tommy Davis has the "storming out of an interview" tech down pat. Way to show Scientology's commitment to communication, Mr. PR Guy.
If you'd just like to see Tommy Davis storm out, here's the clip.
You didn't see Slappy pull that stunt when Miscavige appeared on Nightline with Ted Koppel.

Wind tunnel upgrades are much more expensive than CFD upgrades + small teams probably never can build own wind tunnel....
Point 1: Agree that the FIA need an auditor at each team, but Ross Brawn has ideas that could start in time for the 2013 season for CFD and Wind tunnels, i believe its all on what is to be called R&D credits.
Point 2: WInd Tunnel upgrades are needed every second year now, Renault just spent €2.5m on upgrading their tunnel, Wirth spent the same upgrading the Virgin CFD facility this year as well.
Point 3: Virgin and Team Lotus will build their own new tunnels in their new factories if they can get the land at Silverstone to build on, which will give them both the resource to compete with the established in F1 within the next 5 years. Virgin will probably get their place designed by McLaren Applied Technologies and Tony Fernandes is looking for a place large enough at Silverstone to put F1, GP2 and Chatham all in the one building.
