Alcoholism is a disease, a family issue, a social issue, and can be deadly. An addictive substance, alcohol consumption can lead to health problems, addiction, and has been proven to affect families over various generations. In fact, alcoholism is a known disease that kills thousands of people each year. Still, over 14 million Americans have a diagnosable Alcohol Use Disorder. Alcohol has also been tied to depression, anxiety, and several other mental health issues.
Not all conditions are easily diagnosable, especially when it comes to mental health. Alcohol addiction is a condition that is recognized by the American Psychiatric Association. Criteria for diagnosis are outlined in the DSM-V, the text that licensed psychologists and psychiatrists reference for diagnosing mental health issues. The criteria for diagnosing an alcohol use disorder according to the DSM-V include:
In Alcoholics Anonymous, it is left to the individual whether they want to identify as an alcoholic. However, a mental health professional can legally diagnose an individual with an alcohol use disorder. Words have power, and the terms we use to describe individuals struggling with alcohol can significantly impact the individual. Alcohol addiction does not have to define a person’s whole life. This idea can be reinforced by using the phrase “an individual with an AUD” as opposed to calling someone “an alcoholic.” This is something they are experiencing, but it is not the whole of who they are.
Even though there are guidelines for identifying and diagnosing an Alcohol Use Disorder, that doesn’t mean it is easily treated. Unfortunately, treating alcohol addiction can be a supremely difficult task.
Alcohol has a physical and psychological effects. The dual effect means that effective treatment requires a multifaceted approach. An individual who has developed a physical dependence will benefit from the treatment of the physical aspects of alcohol withdrawal. Additionally, drinking is commonly a learned behavior to engage socially or to cope with feelings and emotions. Someone struggling with alcohol use will also benefit from behavioral therapy and life skills development to address these additional aspects of addiction. Recovery from alcohol addiction does not happen overnight, it is a process that takes time and has highs, lows, detours, and checkpoints.
The first step for most individuals who struggle with alcohol use is detox. Alcohol detox is the process of cleansing the body of alcohol and allowing biological processes to return to normal. An individual whose body has become physically dependent on alcohol will experience an array of potentially severe withdrawal symptoms for a week or longer. Individuals with a mild alcohol use disorder can also benefit from a detox program where round-the-clock observation is provided and support is accessible at any moment.
Alcohol withdrawal will not look the same for every person, however, there are general patterns that the process follows. This includes when certain symptoms present and how long the symptoms will last. Here is an overview of each stage of alcohol detox.
Following detox, patients may continue to receive treatment on an inpatient basis for a period of 30 days or longer. Inpatient or residential treatment is an ideal option for individuals who are struggling with a severe AUD or who are able to put their personal responsibilities on hold for a period of time without major consequences. Living in a treatment facility for an extended period of time allows an ample opportunity to be isolated from potential relapse triggers and to focus on developing the skills and tools for long-term recovery.
Recovery is a lifelong journey for someone who has struggled with alcohol addiction. Relapse prevention is the utmost priority for these individuals and their loved ones. Some will continue with outpatient care for several months after they initially get sober. In addition to therapy and life skill development during treatment, access to alumni programs and support groups is paramount to relapse prevention after treatment. Alcoholics Anonymous and SMART Recovery are examples of programs that provide continued support indefinitely.
Freedom Health offers effective alcohol rehab programs for individuals who struggle with alcohol addiction. If you or your loved one is struggling with alcohol use and abuse, getting help today is critical to minimizing the potential long-term effects of alcohol consumption. Get support and treatment from our dedicated team of professionals.

We told you earlier this week about marijuana decriminalization measures in Berkley, Huntington Woods, Pleasant Ridge and several other towns in Michigan and suburbs of Detroit. In total, there were 11 measures scattered around the state.
Well, voters did the right thing in six of those communities last night and passed bills lowering or eliminating marijuana penalties for small amounts of cannabis.
Both Colorado and Washington made history in 2012 by becoming the first two states to legalize recreational marijuana use for adults. But while Colorado-based pot shops have been raking in mile-high profits since implementing the new laws at the beginning of this year, folks in Washington are still waiting for the green light to begin their own green rush.
But not everyone in Washington is excited about the controversial new industry coming to their neck of the woods. Nearly three dozen of the state’s 75 largest cities, towns, and municipalities have scrambled to enact ordinances, restrictions, and outright bans to keep any eventual recreational weed stores from opening up in their neighborhood.
As covered by local KING 5 News, a new bill (HB 2144) is in the works that would effectively place a ban on any future bans on pot shops, and it has some city officials hot under the collar.
So far, 24 Colorado cities have banned recreational marijuana sales since the passing of Amendment 64. This is not a surprise, since most already had an ordinance prohibiting medical marijuana stores.
But what about those that have MMJ shops that now won’t be able to switch to recreational — like, for instance, Englewood, which briefly allowed dispensaries in 2009 but has since banned them. The three dispensaries that were grandfathered into that city have found it hard to stay open ever since. Denver Westword has the full story.
The California Supreme Court unanimously ruled earlier today that cities and municipalities in that state can outright ban medical marijuana dispensaries.
The decision centers around the Inland Empire Patient’s Health and Wellness Center, which was shut down by the city last year after the city declared the dispensary a public nuisance. The court today ruled the city was within it’s legal rights to do it, opening the doors for all other cities in the state to ban medical marijuana shops if they want.
Towns in Massachusetts can not ban medical marijuana centers outright, but they are allowed to enact zoning regulations on where dispensaries can be located. State Attorney General Martha Coakley handed down that decision yesterday in response to a Wakefield, Mass. passing a law that prohibited marijuana centers from operating in that town.
Saying the rights of patients are endangered, the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan on Wednesday filed lawsuits against three metro Detroit communities that have passed ordinances banning medical marijuana.

|Some Massachusetts towns are throwing in the towel when it comes to marijuana enforcement. Puzzlingly, some folks, mostly cops, seem upset about that.|
Some towns in Massachusetts have given up enforcing the state’s marijuana law which decriminalized the possession of small amounts of pot, saying the law is written with too many loopholes to be effective.
Connecticut State Senator Robert J. Kane (R-Watertown) claims he can’t understand why his idea isn’t getting more support. “Everyone but the drug dealers would benefit,” said Kane, the lead sponsor of legislation to exploit a 1991 law that imposes a tax on illegal marijuana sales and establishes penalties for not paying the tax.

A Rhode Island Senate panel is expected to recommend decriminalizing the possession of small amounts of marijuana when it wraps up its 3 1/2-month investigation later this week.

Online Real Money Keno
Real money keno at online and mobile casinos is a big draw for players from New Zealand, thanks to the fact that it is identical to the state lotteries that are so wildly popular. Should you participate in the latter, you can take part in four draws daily, but if you choose to indulge in keno at any of the places to play recommended by OnlineKeno.co.nz you decide when the draw occurs!
The aim of real money keno is for the player to select one or more numbers out of a possible 80 that will match those drawn at the end of a race, or series of races. The game is largely a matter of luck, which is what attracts players, as there is very little call for strategy or skill in determining the outcome.
Even complete newcomers will find real money keno a very easy game to master, and this fact combined with that of a very small bet offering a pretty substantial payout is what contributes to the staggering popularity of the game.
Players select a series of numbers, from one to fifteen in total most generally, and decide on how much to bet that these numbers will appear in the final draw. Of a total of 80 numbers, 20 are drawn, and the more numerals you have correctly predicted, the higher your payout will be.
Real money keno has been enjoyed by players from New Zealand for ages, with numbers being picked in pubs, bars and other public spaces set aside for the game, but taking a breather, heading to the bar or bathroom, or any lapse in concentration meant a win could be missed. Online keno on the World Wide Web brooks no such calamities, and players are able to do whatever they please as the game unfolds before them on their desktop, laptop, smartphone or tablet device.
There are no longer queues to obtain tickets to contend with, or any lines to collect winnings. Multi-race game options are still there to be taken advantage of, with players simply selecting how many games they wish to play, but the winnings are credited to you at once, and no wait-time is necessary between plays.

Chat about ‘Grading the teachers’
This article was originally on a blog post platform and may be missing photos, graphics or links. See About archive blog posts.
In an article Sunday, Jason Felch (left) and Jason Song reported on an analysis of data that could be used to estimate the effectiveness of teachers in the Los Angeles Unified School District. As the two wrote, the process, called value-added analysis, rates teachers based on their students’ progress on standardized tests from year to year.
Their reporting has drawn notice across the country, with U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan endorsing the release of such data publicly. Teachers and education experts across the country have responded as well, some in support of the reporting, others offering sharp criticism, and still more issuing pleas to not publish teacher rankings. In Los Angeles, teachers union president A.J. Duffy called for a boycott of The Times in response to the report.
Felch and Song will be chatting about the analysis at 11 a.m. Thursday. The chat will take place in the gray box below. Join us to ask them your questions or give your comments on the report.

A few weeks (ok, maybe closer to a month) ago, while I was taking some time away from being creative or clever or productive or anything useful, we went camping. We went to Tobermory, which has been our default camping location since Jack was about 2, and we did all the things we usually do there - well, not all of the things, because it was about 15 degrees celsius colder there than at home, which did not make for nice swimming weather, but we hiked, and kayaked and made s'mores, and one day, I made camp salad.
Camp salad is not new, I've made it for several years, and I don't really know where I came up with the idea, other than the desire for something other than food cooked over a flame, and the need to use the ingredients on hand. But it's pretty good, if I do say so myself.
And obviously, since it's salad, and made up, all ingredients can be adjusted to suit your tastes.
You will need:
2 ears of sweet corn
1 red pepper
½ of a cucumber
a handful of cherry tomatoes
olive oil (I don't measure while camping - a generous drizzle, maybe a tablespoon or two?)
hot sweet mustard (same quantity as the oil)
black pepper to taste
a handful of spicy peanuts (I like lime and chili flavoured ones)
Roast the corn and red pepper over the fire. Or on your barbeque. Or stove. Once both are slightly blackened, cut the corn off the cob and dice the pepper and combine in a bowl that has a lid. (A pot works too, if you're actually camping.) Dice the cucumber and halve the tomatoes and add those to the corn and pepper. Drizzle with oil and mustard and as much pepper as you like. (I am very generous with the pepper for this.) Put the lid on, and shake vigorously. Once everything is well-coated with the oil-mustard, sprinkle with peanuts and enjoy.

With 30 bucks and an open mind, you can stay in some prime spots in California — on the Pacific Beach boardwalk in San Diego, a block from the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica, or, in San Francisco, overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge or across from Union Square.
We're talking hostels, once regarded as the province of backpackers and bedbugs but increasingly go-to places for a growing base of mobile and moneyed travelers. More than 250 hostels are scattered throughout the United States, including 60 in California, offering a more social and budget-friendly alternative to hotel travel.
These days, travelers expect more than "no bugs and hot water," says Maria Argyropoulos, vice president of operations for USA Hostels. "Hostels . . . are becoming way upscale, and that reflects the changing nature of the client. Now, travelers almost expect budget luxury."
And "budget luxury" is what they get. Domestic hostels range from modern 200-bed high-rises in city centers to quaint 25-person beach cottages, and many are safe and clean. Most have 24/7 front-desk and security, and lockers to store belongings. Rates change according to season, number of beds in a room and location, but expect to pay $25 to $35 for a dorm bed in the summer and $70 to $100 for a private room.
Today, hostelers contribute $1.4 billion to tourist revenues worldwide, and though the words "hostel" and "youth" are often paired, hosteling is by no means young-person exclusive. As the struggling economy has widened the range of those seeking budget accommodations, hostelers note a corresponding increase in the age of patrons.
Independently run mom-and-pop hostels are the heart of the industry, though Hostelling International, the brand name of the nonprofit International Youth Hostel Federation, leads the market in quantity and quality, with 4,000 hostels in 90 countries — 19 in California. To sport the "HI" logo, hostels must conform to quality and sanitation standards. And no alcohol is allowed.
Here are some well-regarded California hostels we sampled:
Los Angeles area
HI-Santa Monica is the largest hostel in the United States, with 260 beds. The kitchen is expansive, dorms are bright and spacious, the activity board is brimming with freebies and you're a block from the beach.
1436 Second St., Santa Monica; (310) 393-9913, hilosangeles.org
Banana Bungalow Hollywood is of another era. Owner Joe Fazio describes the converted two-story 1960s building — formerly the Movietown Motel — as "retro, funky, cool."
The "deluxe" private and dorm rooms (140 beds) all have kitchens en suite, garishly colored according to theme, though the effect is, well, groovy.
Fazio also owns the 140-bed Banana Bungalow West Hollywood on Fairfax, just off the Melrose strip. The WeHo location isn't quite as California cool as the original, though the outdoor tiki bar is impressive.
5920 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood; toll-free 1-877-977-5077; 603 N Fairfax Ave., West Hollywood; (323) 655 2002, bananabungalowus.com
Surf City Hostel keeps it simple. Besides a stellar location at the end of the Hermosa Beach promenade, crisp linens on the beds in the 60 rooms, half of which enjoy an unobstructed ocean view, and a charmingly frazzled manager — French-born Odile Brock, who has been running the place for 15 years — $25 buys you the best deal on ocean breezes in the South Bay.
26 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach; (310) 798-2323, surfcityhostel.com
HI-Fisherman's Wharf is housed in historic Fort Mason at the edge of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The oldest hostel in the city slopes down to a hiking path that meanders from Fisherman's Wharf to Marina Green along a panorama of the Golden Gate Bridge. Café Franco, a funky coffee shop, provides free breakfast for hostel guests, lunch and $6 dinners of vegetarian cuisine.
HI-San Francisco City Center, with 162 beds, is tranquil Fort Mason's bustling counterpart. Formerly the seven-story Atherton Hotel, the hostel still sports the hotel's regal dark wood interior, and rows of international flags flutter from the lofted ceiling.
Fisherman's Wharf, Fort Mason, Building 240; (415) 771-7277, sfhostels.com; City Center, 685 Ellis St., San Francisco; (415) 474-5721
The Elements Hostel could exist only in the Mission District in San Francisco. The bright yellow and orange building, looming over vibrant Mission Street, houses the 29-room hostel, Medjool Restaurant and the popular Sky Terrace, a 360-degree-view rooftop bar and restaurant.
2516 Mission St., San Francisco; toll-free 1-866-327-8407, elementssf.com
Pacific Tradewinds Hostel takes its nautical theme seriously. "Get off yer arse and get outside!" a sign declares at the entrance to the common area. Rooms are bright, clean and well maintained. All bathrooms are communal and coed.
680 Sacramento St., San Francisco; (415) 433-7970, sanfranciscohostel.org
The Green Tortoise, a cavernous 150-bed hostel looming over funky North Beach, is a hostel's hostel, and owner and founder Gardner Kent is an old-time hosteler. All the carpets are from Las Vegas, and the ballroom is a place you'd expect to find, as Kent puts it, a cancan show. There are thrice-weekly free dinners of hearty vegetarian fare.
494 Broadway, San Francisco; (415) 834-1000, greentortoise.com
HI-Point Loma, on a hill above downtown San Diego in a quiet residential neighborhood, has a tranquil, campy feel. With 53 beds, it's more like a bustling B&B. About half of Point Loma's guests are from the United States, many of them youth groups on retreats.
3790 Udall St., San Diego; (619) 223-4778, sandiegohostels.org
Banana Bungalow San Diego announces itself. The 90-bed hostel is breezy, beachy and comfortable, but you'll probably spend most of your time on the busy deck — for free barbecues twice a week and sunset parties.
707 Reed Ave., Pacific Beach, San Diego; (858) 273-3060, bananabungalowus.com
The USA Hostels San Diego building began life in the 1800s as a brothel, though the 23-room hostel in the Gaslamp Quarter has been through a few remodels since then. Murals cover the blue and yellow walls, many of which date from the years the building was the Grand Pacific Hostel. Guests walk up a grand staircase to their lodgings, ranging from a cozy split-level private room to wood-paneled dorms.
726 Fifth Ave.; San Diego; (619) 232-3100, usahostels.com

Capping off a day of festivities celebrating the Mac's 30th anniversary, Apple on Friday held a party at its headquarters in Cupertino, Calif., where employees and guests were treated to a live concert performed by OneRepublic.
At the special event, which happened to coincide with one of Apple's regular "beer bashes," Apple CEO Tim Cook took to the stage with a short speech recognizing the importance of the Mac milestone. Blogger Mindy Hu recorded a video clip of Cook's address and uploaded it to Instagram.
"We don't spend a lot of time looking back," Cook said to the huge gathering. "We spend all of our time looking forward and working on the next big thing. But we're making an exception for today, because 30 years ago today, the Macintosh was born."
Along with Cook, other high-ranking Apple executives like SVP of Worldwide Marketing Phil Schiller, SVP of Internet Software and Service Eddy Cue and VP of Applications Roger Rosner were confirmed to be in attendance.
The concert came at the tail end of a slew of interviews and press coverage for what Apple has dubbed "Mac 30." On Thursday, for example, MacWorld sat down with Schiller, SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi and VP of Software Technology Bud Tribble to discuss the past, present and future of the Mac platform.

Although not directly a “Ripper book” E1 brings more to the case than most “Ripper Books” and teaches us something new. I was looking forward to this release for some time, and when it arrived yesterday, I was unable to put it down, until I finished it!
The book is split into two sections, Whitechapel and Spitalfields, with each section once again split into smaller chapters, and covers the geographical area of E1, minus Mile End, Stepney, Shadwell and Wapping, but despite this, it is book full of wonderful suprises and information for both the East End Novice, to the true Eastender.
The photo’s are full of little details, and local charector, which will become a vital resource on the area in years to come, if not now. Market traders, shoppers, and diners of every creed, colour and nationality are here, and it amazing to think that the same social groups are still as evident today as they was back in the Victorian period, but the book goes beyond that.
Most, if not all, of the locations in the book contain a full history, not just of the building, but the people associated with it, and tales of strikes, marches, protests, and criminal activity come to life, and take you on a journey into what life was like in the past.
Jack the Ripper gets the ocasional mention, alongside other colourful charectors such as the Krays, Jack “The Hat” McVitie, and Dick Turpin. The book also features information on Joseph Merrick aka The Elephant Man and Michael Jackson!
This is a great book, and one that is so easy to pick up and read in one sitting, or to visit time and time again in smaller bitesize chunks. If you don’t learn something new from this book, you have not read it properly!
A must for anyone with an interest in the East End of London, it’s buildings, people, streets and stories.
I must congratulate John Bennett on a great read, and also Five Leaves Publishing for the quick turnaround on delivery!

Officials responded Monday to critics and pre-election violence by delaying June elections for three weeks and extending deadlines for candidates and voter registration.
Opposition politicians welcomed the news but threatened to boycott the elections if President Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s government shuts them out of the electoral process.
The U.S. Embassy discounted accusations that the government is stacking the elections apparatus with its partisans.
“This is a very tough political climate, and one anticipates these kinds of criticisms,” said embassy spokesman Stan Schrager.

This study explores how Landgarten’s Family Art Assessment can provide clinicians with valuable information about families that can be used to advocate for the needs of the children in the family. A comprehensive literature review covers family assessments using art developed by Psychologists, family art assessments created by art therapists, and the benefits of using them in clinical treatment. The researcher utilized a qualitative research approach. The data gathering took the form of surveys and semi-structured interviews with clinicians at a community mental health agency following their participation/observation in a Family Art Assessment administered to a family on their caseload by a board certified art therapist. The researcher used textual analysis of the interview transcription to identify emergent themes. The emergent themes included: the impact of domestic violence, power dynamic, disconnection, and the therapist’s efforts to increase connection and communication in the family. Study findings indicate that Family Art Assessments, when used as a consultation service administered by an experienced art therapist, can serve as an invaluable tool to provide clinicians with a more complete understanding of the families they are treating quicker than verbal therapy assessment methods alone. The findings also indicate that the Family Art Assessment helped clinicians conceptualize their cases from a more systemic perspective that considers the children’s environment and relational patterns within the family as contributing to their problem behaviors and symptoms, and allowed clinicians to envision a path in treatment that included advocating for the children’s needs.

Chapter 8 describes ways to improve the public transportation mode share for airport employ- ees. The chapter begins with a discussion of factors that influence employee use of public trans- portation. Next, the results of a survey of the employee commuting patterns at representative airports are summarized and key considerations for improving employee public transportation mode share at airports are presented. The Objective and the Challenge Airport employees represent a large potential market for public transportation. As Table 8-1 shows, the average number of daily employees at major U.S. airports can exceed 40,000. There are a number of challenges, however, to implementing successful public transportation services for employees at an airport. First, airports are usually located in suburban locations, which can be difficult to serve with traditional transit services. Second, airports are in operation 24 hours a day, and many work shifts do not coincide with typical transit schedules. Third, airports have multiple employers, each of whom has a variety of constraints and regulations regarding shift timing, parking reimbursement, overtime, etc. Taken together, these challenges can affect employee mode choice. Factors That Influence Employee Use of Public Transportation Although data on employee transit use are limited, four factors are believed to influence the mode choice of airport employees: â¢ The availability of transit service at the employee residences. Is transit service to the airport reasonably accessible in areas where employees live? In many communities, available public transportation links the airport with the regional core or major activity centers. Employee res- idences, however, may be concentrated in other corridors where housing is less expensive and travel is less congested. Public transportation connections to the airport may not be readily available in these locations. â¢ The accessibility of the employeeâs worksite to transit service. Does the transit service pro- vide a convenient connection to the employeeâs final destination on the airport? Many airport employees work in areas beyond the passenger terminal, such as ramp areas, cargo centers, aircraft maintenance facilities, and other employment sites scattered around the airport property. â¢ The availability of transit during non-traditional work hours. Does the transit service offer con- venient frequencies of service when employees need to travel to work? Many airport employees 168 C H A P T E R 8 Improving Public Transportation Mode Share for Employees
have schedules dictated by aircraft operational patterns that are outside of the typical peak-period commuting hours of 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. â¢ The availability and cost of parking for employees. How much do employees pay for park- ing? While some airports are providing subsidized car pools or transit passes, few employees pay market rate parking fees. These factors were used as a starting point to expand the available knowledge base for identi- fying ways to improve employee usage of public transportation at airports. To gain additional insights into the factors affecting employee use of public transportation, surveys were distributed to 34 U.S. airports. Approximately one-third of the surveys were returned and were evenly split between large hub airports and small/medium airports. Survey findings are summarized in the following sections. Transit Service Characteristics Information from the survey responses concerning the existing transit service at the airport such as type, frequency, stop locations, and employee transit mode shares is summarized in Table 8-2. Transit Service Transit service to airports is typically limited in terms of the number of routes and the frequency of service. Only Chicago OâHare, Reagan Washington National, and Boston airports have relatively robust service with the presence of a rapid rail station on each airport. Los Angeles International Airport has a significant amount of service nearby, but routes serve a transit center and rail station remote from the terminal. Most bus routes only run twice an hour.

In addition, only two bus routes serve the west end of the airport, a major employment center where airline maintenance facilities and air cargo hubs are located. Of the other airports that responded, only Las Vegas and Orange County, California, airports have buses that run more than twice per hour. Transit Mode Share The data in Table 8-3 show that for airports with bus service only, typical employee transit mode shares are approximately 2% to 5%. Most airports with bus service only are toward the lower end of the range. The exception is Denver International Airport, which has SkyRide, a suc- cessful bus system oriented to the airport. SkyRide is a semi-express bus service from numerous free park-and-ride lots directly to Denver International Airport. Airports with rail service on the airport have significantly higher employee transit mode shares. OâHare International Airport (Chicago) has the highest reported employee transit use with more than 23% of employees commuting to work on a typical day using rail or bus. Nearly all of these employees use rail. Most of the rail use was reported by airport employees who do not work for any of the airlines. Non-airline airport employees reported that 34% used rail, while airline employees reported 7% used rail.

transit usage of the three employee groups. At Boston airport, Massport reports more than 16% of the employees used transit, of which 11% used rail. Employee Characteristics Information concerning the characteristics of employees at the airport (such as the number of employees, work locations, commute times, and employee parking cost) is summarized in this section. Number of Employees As indicated by the missing data in Table 8-4, good information about the number of employees working at an airport, and whether they work at the terminal or remotely, is not universally available. The number of employers combined with complex work schedules and dispersed work locations make tracking the number of employees working at the airport on a given day especially challenging. Flight crew members are especially difficult to track for sur- vey purposes; they may commute to work only one day a week or even arrive from another city via airplane. Data provided in the OâHare employee survey provide some insights. Of the employees that responded to the survey, only 50% reported to work sometime on a given Wednesday. Flight crew members had the lowest percentage with less than 20% reporting to work on a given day. Percentage of Employees Working in the Terminal Area As suggested earlier, many employees have job locations dispersed throughout the airport.

work in the terminal area. (See Table 8-4.) For these employees, a transit trip would require a transfer to a circulator shuttle bus or service with a stop at their workplace. Employee Commute Times A significant percentage of employees at an airport do not travel during peak commuting times, when transit service frequencies are the highest. The reported range is 10% to 90% with most responses being 70% or below. Airline crew employees typically have the highest percent- age of commute times outside normal commute hours. Transit Service to Major Employers The survey responses indicate that when major employers are present at an airport, sched- uled public transit service is typically provided. The frequency of the transit service may not be high, but it is usually provided by the local transit operator due to the concentration of employees. Cost of Employee Parking The survey responses confirm that the cost of employee parking is low at airports (see Table 8-5). The net cost to the employee is typically less than $1 per day and in most cases the employer pays for parking. Transit Subsidies A number of airports do partially subsidize the cost of transit for their employees. These air- ports include Boston, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, and San Diego. Salt Lake City provides tran- sit passes that cover 50% of the cost to the employee. Sacramento subsidizes $35 of the $55 monthly cost of a bus pass for county employees only. 172 Ground Access to Major Airports by Public Transportation Airport Size (a) Estimated number of employees on-site, typical day Estimated percentage of employees working in terminal area Estimated percentage of employees traveling during commute peaks Estimated percentage of employee residences served by transit Other major employment centers Number of centers Number of centers with transit Birmingham (AL) S n.a. 50% 70% 0% 3 3 Boston L 14,600 68% 78% n.a. 2 2 Chicago OâHare L n.a. 56% 48% n.a. 3 1 Dallas/Fort Worth L 40,000 n.a. 90% 70% 2 2 John Wayne M 1,000 50% 70% 80% 0 n.a.

Key Considerations for Improving Employee Public Transportation Mode Share This section describes the key considerations for improving employee transit mode share at airports. Comparative Travel Time of Transit and Automobile For the large majority of employees, public transportation must compete with the conven- ience provided by the automotive mode of travel. Travel times on transit need to be comparable with, not necessarily equal to or less than, those by automobile. As demonstrated in places such as Denver and San Francisco, express or semi-express service oriented to the airport is an important factor. The Denver SkyRide system provides semi-express service for most routes. The long-standing subscription bus program in San Francisco, operated by United Airlines for employees at its Maintenance and Operations Center, provides travel times fairly comparable with driving. The frequency of service is also an important consideration in travel times. Frequent service not only reduces wait times for passengers, but also increases an employeeâs flexibility in terms of the timing of the trip to work. Current experience with the light rail line that terminates at the Baltimore/Washington International Airport terminal suggests that the low employee mode share (1% to 2%) may result from the lineâs 17-minute headways. Comparative Comfort of Transit and Automobile Public transportation not only competes with automobiles in terms of travel time, but also in terms of comfort. The experience at San Diego International Airport helps to illustrate this point. Despite having relatively frequent bus service (four to six buses per hour throughout the day), the employee transit mode share is 2%. The noted automobile-oriented culture of the region is likely a contributing factor. While it is difficult for transit to compete with the comfort that automobiles provide, passen- gers also perceive the need to transfer and wait as a significant âdiscomfort.â Thus, the closer a Improving Public Transportation Mode Share for Employees 173 Airport Size (a) Cost per Month Employee Parking Who Pays?

service is to door-to-door service, the higher the comfort level that will be perceived. Bostonâs successful Logan Express bus service provides an over-the-road coach vehicle that travels from a park-and-ride lot directly to the airport. Employees are currently entitled to free parking at the bus terminal and a significant discount on the fare. Extent and Adequacy of the Transit Service Area All things being equal, the ultimate success of public transportation for employee mode of access will depend upon the extent and adequacy of the transit service area. The significant tran- sit mode shares at Boston and OâHare airports are largely due to the maturity and robustness of the regional transit system. These mature systems support high service frequency and expansive regional coverage. Conversely, another reason for the lower usage at Baltimore/Washington International Airport is the limited service area of the regional rail network, which currently has a single light rail line and a single heavy rail line. The Boston employee transit mode share is somewhat suppressed because areas north of the airport are home to many employees but these areas are not well served by transit. This latter point illustrates the importance of the adequacy of the transit service area for airport employees. Service to the airport should be placed where airport employees reside. Two of the routes of the SkyRide system in Denver are oriented to locations near the former site of Stapleton airport to serve the concentration of employees still located near the old airport. LAWA provides a convenient transportation link for airline passengers and employees work- ing at Los Angeles International Airport who live or have destinations in the San Fernando Valley. The Van Nuys FlyAway bus service operates scheduled express buses between the Van Nuys Airport, located in the Valley, and Los Angeles International Airport. Employees are pro- vided with free parking in a dedicated lot at the Van Nuys FlyAway terminal. The buses operate 24 hours per day with schedules designed to better meet the needs of employ- ees. For example, buses to Los Angeles International Airport operate at 15-minute headways during employee peak hours (4:45 a.m. to 8:00 a.m.). Employees pay about half the regular fare and can receive a deeper discount by purchasing a book of tickets. In 1999, employee ridership represented 20% of the total ridership on the FlyAway service. In addition to providing service to areas where employees are known to reside, transit providers should consider targeting service to areas with potential employees that are likely to use transit to travel to the airport (e.g., areas with lower automobile ownership). Proximity and Accessibility of Transit Service at Both Trip Ends Convenient connections between the transit vehicle and the work site or home are important for two reasons. First, convenient connections make the service easy to use and accessible. Second, a convenient connection will improve employee travel time. On the home end of the trip, experience at Denver and Boston illustrates how suburban areas can be well served with free park-and-ride lots. The work end of the trip is just as important. As the surveys indicated, many airport employees do not work in a terminal building. Transit service should be provided directly to locations near significant concentrations of employees, either at the terminal or at remote facilities. If possible, passengers should not have to transfer. If transfers are necessary, however, an on-airport shuttle bus service should be provided to link the public transportation system with the work sites for employees. Availability, Cost, and Convenience of Parking at the Work Site The availability, cost, and convenience of parking play a significant role in the choice or con- sideration between transit and automobile modes of access. While an increasing number of 174 Ground Access to Major Airports by Public Transportation
airport operators have located employee parking lots to remote sites, most operators still pro- vide space for ample employee parking somewhere on the airport. A few airports such as Boston, LaGuardia, and San Francisco have severely constrained sites where parking costs begin to approach those seen in congested downtown areas. In these com- munities, despite aggressive programs to encourage the use of public transportation, large employee parking facilities are provided to accommodate the needs of airport, airline, and other tenants. For example, the available parking supply for employees working at the United Airlines Maintenance and Operations Center at San Francisco International Airport significantly exceeds the demand. United is bound by employee labor agreements that require parking for each employee. Nevertheless, the closest and most convenient parking spaces are reserved for vanpools and buses to provide some incentive for using public transportation or ridesharing, while much of the single-occupant automobile parking is located a significant distance from the work site. In addition, as noted earlier, United Airlines offers bus service to employees at this facility. The typically low cost of parking for employees is also a significant barrier to encouraging transit use. Given the typically longer travel times and lower comfort levels of transit compared to a private vehicle, the availability of free or low-cost parking makes transit even less competitive. It is difficult to increase the cost of parking paid by individual employees at the airport. Some airports have employee parking costs defined in their airline use-and-lease agreements. Often, the airlines are bound by employee labor agreements that specify availability, proximity (or travel time), and cost of parking. Consequently, airport operators may not be able to increase the costs for employee parking, either because rate increases are not allowed or because the additional costs could not be passed on to employees. Thus, the net cost of parking that the employees pay is low and is often free. The lack of this disincentive to the automobile is a major challenge. Some airport operators offer transit subsidies to selected groups of employees. While this can help provide comparable costs between driving and public transportation, subsidies can become expen- sive and require continuous monitoring to prevent abuse. As an alternative to direct subsidies, the federally sponsored Commuter Check program is available to employers with more than 100 employees. Commuter Checks, up to a maximum of $100 per month, permit employees to save paying taxes on the amount and save the employer payroll taxes. The program does require the employers to incur administrative costs to either operate the program themselves or hire a third- party administrator. United Airlines operates a Commuter Check program in Denver. Employees are required to turn in their parking permit to receive $30 commuter checks each month. In some communities, employee discount programs are offered by the private and public operators of scheduled bus services. Bus operators serving airports in San Francisco and Los Angeles offer commuters substantial discounts when they buy ticket books. Another challenge to effectively using these types of incentives on a wide scale is the airportâs multiple employers, each with a full range of employee types. Because subsidies are frequently provided through employers, a comprehensive program requires significant coordination and commitment by all parties. Extent and Adequacy of Transit Service Hours To be a viable option for a significant percentage of employees, the hours of operation for the transit service must address the operating conditions at an airport. It is not unusual for employee shift times to begin at 4:00 a.m. or 5:00 a.m. and other shift times to end at 10:00 p.m. For tran- sit to be an option for employees, the service needs to be operating at those times. In addition, the service needs to be operating at a convenient frequency. In Boston, early morning shuttle Improving Public Transportation Mode Share for Employees 175
service is provided from nearby communities to supplement the regional transit service that opens later. As noted previously, the Van Nuys Flyaway service operates reduced headways beginning at 4:45 a.m. Perceived Safety of Transit, Particularly at Night Given the other challenges of comparable cost and convenience, employees need to perceive the transit service and waiting areas as safe throughout the operating hours. The provision of well-lighted waiting areas, obvious security presence, and late night on-demand escort service are features that can be used to help mitigate this concern. Airport Employee Market Segments Public transportation may be a more convenient alternative for certain groups of airport employ- ees. The travel patterns of different market segments are discussed in the following paragraphs. Flight Crew Flight crew employees include pilots and flight attendants who are based in a particular city and travel to the airport to begin their rotation or tour of duty. A tour of duty can last several days. Therefore, their trip from the airport may come a few days after their access trip, and they may not commute more than once a week to the airport. Overall, they constitute a significant proportion of total airport employees but are not a large market for public transportation because of their infrequent commuting. Many flight crew members park their cars at the airport for the duration of their trips. Non-Flight Crew Airport employees who are not members of a flight crew will have a work commute of a more regular nature. These employees have varying types of work schedules, some of which change at specified time intervals. Some employees work additional hours on a regular basis or are subject to non-scheduled overtime. If employees have on-airport parking privileges, parking is often free or subsidized; however, the location of the parking may not be convenient to airline passenger terminal locations and may require the use of shuttle bus service. These shuttle services may not operate with the same level of service provided to passengers. The more inconvenient airport employee parking is, the more willing employees are to use an alternative that either decreases the amount of time they must wait for connections or increases the ease with which they can reach their reporting locations. As is the case for other commuters, airport employees are more sensitive to the cost of an access service, because they will be using the service multiple times during the week. One group of nonflight crew airport employees who are strong candidates for public trans- portation to an airport is airport employees in the many entry-level, low-wage service jobs avail- able at an airport (e.g., restaurants or cleaning). Because these jobs can require work commutes at hours not covered by the regional public transportation system and because so many potential candidates do not have access to a private vehicle, airport employers sometimes find it difficult to fill open positions for these jobs. Low-wage employees at an airport would be very sensitive to the cost of an airport access trip; this underscores the need for a pricing system differentiating between air passengers and airport employees. 176 Ground Access to Major Airports by Public Transportation


Senator wants Vikings to pay for stadium shortfalls
April 24, 2013 — 1:25pm
Sen. Sean Nienow, R-Cambridge, says the Minnesota Vikings should cover any shortfalls in funding for their new stadium.
Nienow said he will offer his plan as an amendment to the Senate tax bill, which is expected to be taken up later this week.
Last year, the state authorized new electronic games for lawful gambling in bars, including electronic pulltabs played on iPad-like devices. Revenues from those games has been far less than anticipated.
Gov. Mark Dayton and stadium supporters have been examining ways of improving the performance of electronic pulltabs, and are also considering other revenue sources. A tax on pro sports memorabilia is moving ahead as a possible addition to pulltab revenue for the stadium.
Nienow's plan simply requires the team to pay for any deficiency.
The Vikings have said proposals such as Nienow's violate last year's agreement with the team to build the stadium, which divides the costs among the state ($348 million,) the Vikings ($477 million) and the city of Minneapolis ($150 million.)

After some of the most momentous weeks of his presidency, including court victories on gay marriage and Obamacare and an emotional eulogy for the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, President Barack Obama turned his attention back to an ongoing theme of his presidency: Economic fairness.
While the nation's attention turns to the 2016 presidential race and the ever-growing field of candidates, President Barack Obama will try to drive a message he's been repeating since his first campaign: economic fairness.

How Chicago and Obama Globalized Voter Fraud
Chicago has a long tradition of padding its vote totals by placing homeless and deceased persons on its voter registration list. Jim Laski, who once served as the City Clerk of Chicago, second in power only to the mayor, noted in his book My Fall From Grace that fraudulent voters were registered to addresses that included cemeteries, municipal buildings, and taverns. The taverns, at least, are understandable: politically connected city workers spent so much time on bar stools the Board of Elections thought they lived there.
Other voters who had died or moved away were also on the voter registration list. Once again, the tendency for the dead to vote in Chicago can be easily explained: the dead cannot be expected to walk to City Hall and remove themselves from the registered voter list. Everyone in Chicago knows they can only walk as far as the local polling place. This tradition was verified in 1983 when the registered voter list was examined and it was found that 3,000 had either died or moved away.
Since 1985 Chicago has pioneered new ways to promote illegal immigration. After 1990 the illegal immigrant population in Chicago and the nation skyrocketed. As illegal immigrants flocked to Chicago, a method was needed to get them on the registered voter list. Although 80,000 illegal aliens voted in 1982, the old-fashioned way, through vote fraud; by 2005 both Cook County and the state of Illinois had moved to allow photo I.D. to be given to illegal immigrants by passing matricula consular laws.
By allowing the matricula consular to function as an official photo I.D., Illinois and Chicago can say they are conforming to any Voter ID requirement. But the Cook County law (most Illinois illegal immigrants live in Cook County) also allows the consulates of Mexico and "any other Latin American country" to issue the consular I.D.s at their discretion. In effect, Illinois has enabled foreign countries to decide who votes in U.S. elections.
In 1983 an alien born in Belize stated to the Chicago Tribune that he and his two sisters were never required to show any identification when they registered to vote. The matricula consular enables people to reside in Illinois, and once they reside there, they need no ID to register to vote. This "globalization" of voting rights is clearly a violation of the U.S. Constitution, yet has never been challenged in any court during its ten year history. This supports the idea that Chicago's goal is to attract large numbers of undocumented residents from all countries.
How Barack Obama enabled illegal immigrants to get on voting lists is the heretofore missing story of the actions he took in the 1990s to help expand the number of Hispanic voters.
Political analysts who have researched Obama's policy history found that he voted "present" over 100 times as a member of the Illinois State Senate. So he was not actively involved in much legislation. The clues to what he did do in his early days are to be found in his community organizing work. A review of these activities reveals that he was focused on expanding "voter participation." In 1993 he helped run a voter registration drive for ACORN called "Project Vote" which registered 135,000 new voters and was crucial to the election of U.S. Senator Carol Moseley Braun.
Obama's activities took place within a national context: Bill Clinton won the election of 1992 by such a narrow margin that he immediately set out to create a larger voter base for 1996. To do so he passed the Motor Voter Law, which contains a loophole stating that a potential voter does not need to have an ID in order to register to vote. Expanding the voter base was so important to President Clinton that the Motor Voter Law was the first bill he signed into law as president.
Barack Obama, as a U.S. Senator, was also a vocal critic of Voter ID laws. In 1995, the first year the Motor Voter law was to be implemented, Barack Obama represented ACORN and successfully sued the Republican governor of Illinois, forcing the state to implement the law.
After he became president, Obama had his Justice Department sue Arizona for passing SB 1070, claiming that immigration is a Federal issue and that SB 1070 would interfere with Federal procedures. Of course he has never sued Illinois for enabling the matricula consular to function as a valid state ID, or sued Cook County for allowing the matricula consular to function as a "valid passport" when a Latin American returns to their native country.
These two actions have the effect of enabling illegal Hispanic immigrants to cross Arizona into Illinois and other states, and vote. From 1990 to 2000, the number of Hispanics of voting age in Cook County, IL increased 54% to 689,383.
Enabling foreign nationals to vote in Illinois allowed the Democrats to manipulate not just local and state elections, but the presidential election as well. This is because the electoral college is not based on votes counted, but on population. The 2000 Census found that in 19 of the 100 largest U.S. cities the only part of the population that is growing is the Hispanic segment. Mexican families have twice as many children as white families. And children are also counted by the Census Bureau to determine the number of Congressional Representatives. The larger the population a state has, the more electoral college members it has. States that are solidly Democratic can continue to extend their influence on the Presidential elections by extending their Hispanic populations. Today, one in four children born in the U.S. is Hispanic.
It has been 27 years since Chicago started sanctuary policy for illegal immigration. Since that time Chicago, Illinois, and other cities and states have expanded the illegal immigrant population by stretching the envelope of immigration through Sanctuary Policy. At the same time they have stretched the concept of voter registration.
The notion that foreign nationals can influence elections is no longer a possibility but a reality. The first president to both actively participate in that process and benefit from it is Barack Obama. These actions prove that President Obama is not a socialist or a Marxist, he is an old-fashioned Chicago Democrat who is focused on padding the voter registration list to get elected.

Overcrowding at Virginia’s nine state psychiatric hospitals has renewed calls for the state to build more hospitals. The state hospitals have reached capacity several times in recent years, and the pandemic has brought an already stressed system to a crisis point.
The lack of an inpatient bed means some adults and children in crisis are waiting indefinitely in emergency departments for an available psychiatric placement. If subject to an involuntary commitment order, they may be waiting in handcuffs and with a law enforcement officer required to be present. This is not the way we should treat someone living with a serious illness.
There is an immediate need for solutions, but Virginia already has one of the highest numbers of state psychiatric beds per capita. No two individual crisis events or recoveries are the same, and placement in one of the state’s hospitals is only one of several ways to treat someone in a mental health crisis.
State hospitals are the most expensive option, with the most restrictive conditions for mental health care. Instead of adding more state hospital beds, we should make better use of the ones we have, while expanding the tools available statewide for appropriate care and support in the least restrictive setting.
Admissions: State hospitals are full today partly because private hospitals are admitting a lower percentage of involuntary patients. For someone in crisis who meets certain criteria, a magistrate can issue a 72-hour Temporary Detention Order (TDO) for evaluation and treatment. Local private hospitals take most of these admissions, along with voluntary admissions for mental health treatment. They are the preferred place for short term stays, but private hospitals don’t have to accept a patient, and when no private hospital has room or will accept someone under a TDO, state hospitals are required to admit them.
The Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) reports that from 2015 to 2020 the total number of TDOs issued in Virginia remained the same at around 25,000, but the state hospital share of these admissions more than doubled, from 11% to 25%. Private hospitals report several reasons for the change, intensified by the pandemic, including staff shortages that require taking available beds off line, and an increase in voluntary admissions.
Discharges: On any given day the Virginia state hospital “Extraordinary Barriers List” includes around 200 patients who have been clinically cleared for discharge, but remain in the hospital because of legal or efficiency barriers or because there is just no place for them to go. Housing with supportive programming that matches an individual’s specific needs has shown strong positive health outcomes in Virginia, and frees up state hospital space. The state recently increased funding for more supportive housing, but Virginia needs thousands of additional spaces.
Workforce: Hospital beds don’t help if there’s no one to staff them. Staffing shortages, severely worsened by the pandemic, have reduced bed capacity in hospitals throughout the state. This adds more pressure on our state hospital system, which struggles with its own critical lack of personnel. Mental Health America ranks Virginia 41st nationally in access to a trained mental health workforce. With more mental health professionals and specialists we can put existing but unstaffed hospital beds back on line, reduce the wait list for community care, and add new options to prevent hospitalization. We should maintain expanded telehealth services, offer signing bonuses in the highest need locations, and double the state’s new loan repayment incentive program.
Community Crisis Care: A permanent solution to the current bed crisis requires a robust system of community care. Fortunately, the state is immersed in planning solutions. These include developing a network of regional and mobile crisis teams, a “988” emergency call center to replace 911 for behavioral health crises, and expanding crisis receiving centers and stabilization units. Plans for 23-hour observation sites, peer respite programs and other alternatives will reduce hospital admissions. Arizona successfully diverted over 40% of behavioral health crisis calls from hospital emergency rooms to a strong network of community options.
Strategic Investing: Data-driven services that foster resiliency, strengthen families, and support recovery reduce the need for TDOs. Better Medicaid payment rates and state incentive funding would generate more private, specialized community facilities. Legislators should strengthen their support for school based mental health, local public behavioral health agencies, and transforming Medicaid to align with evidence-based practices.
Hope Now: A receding pandemic and the multiple efforts to build out our crisis system should begin relieving pressure on bed capacity in coming months. But more people than ever are experiencing mental health problems and daily crises right now. Policy makers should support the emergency efforts to cut red tape, open treatment slots in private facilities, and begin mental health treatment while still in the emergency room.
Every day there are thousands of individuals making heroic efforts to get better, to stay alive, or to help someone else get through a traumatic crisis. These include Community Services Board staff, hospital care teams, family members, friends, state employees, law enforcement officers and many more. They deserve a better system.
We can reimagine our mental hospitals to create opportunities for people who are best served in a long term facility. Let’s use this most costly resource appropriately and efficiently. If we address institutional care in concert with the entire range of private and public mental health services, we can solve the crisis in our mental health system.

Carrie Fisher mocked her mother Debbie Reynolds as she presented her with a Lifetime Achievement prize at the Screen Actors Guild awards last night. The Star Wars actress gave a humorous introduction to her 82-year-old mom and even referenced her infamous feud with Dame Elizabeth Taylor, who had an affair with her first husband, Carrie’s father Eddie Fisher.
Carrie said: ”She’s been more than a mother to me, not much, but definitely more. She is a movie star, recording artist, television actor, nightclub entertainer, Broadway performer and co-founder of the Thalians, a group that has raised more than $30 million for mental health. Well, mental health-related causes, and $4.5 million of that money is allocated just for me… This is an extraordinarily kind, gifted, and funny woman who would give you the shirt off her back if Vivien Leigh hadn’t once worn it in Gone With the Wind. Prior to our original introduction, Debbie Reynolds was already the voluptuous, fertile half of America’s sweethearts, Elizabeth Taylor’s matron-of-honor.”
A montage of the three-times-married actress’ 66-year career was then played before Debbie – who also has a son, Todd, with her first husband – took to the podium and returned the ribbing she had been given from her famous daughter. As well as thanking the Screen Actors Guild for the honor, she said: ”My favorite picture, well I did a few, was Singin’ in the Rain. Of course I had a wonderful hairdo in that picture. Some of you may not remember this but I had a bun. At the back of my head I had a big bun, an ugly bun. I’d warned my daughter Carrie who’d just gotten a part in a picture, Princess Leia in ‘Star Wars’ and I said ‘Carrie be careful of any weird hairdos.’ So luckily, George [Lucas] gave her two buns. Thank you, George.”
Debbie referenced her 1964 musical The Unsinkable Molly Brown to close her speech. She said: ”In that film, I got to sing a wonderful song called ‘I Ain’t Down Yet.’ Well, I ain’t. Thank you all so much for this wonderful award.”

Suspect! In the wake of the Aurora, CO Massacre, the usual calls for more Gun Control are being made and dismissed by many, including the White House. Others are saying, these random act of Mass Shooting point to problems with violence in media and un-treated Mental Illness. Is it possible that the killer is just Crazy and nothing could have stopped him? Gibson examines.
Shame! The NCAA just unleashed so called “harsh” punishments on Penn State University, for their complicity in the Sandusky Child Sex Abuse scandal, including vacating a decade of wins, gutting scholarships and denying Bowl participation for Four Years. Call for a “Death Penalty” by many went unheeded. Gibson thinks the punishment is a joke.

CVS CFO Takes Same Role at Lowe's
David Denton is leaving his chief financial officer post at CVS Health to work in the same position at Lowe's.
Denton will join the hardware retailer later this year once CVS closes on its acquisition of Aetna. He succeeds Marshall Croom, who previously announced he will be retiring in October.
In addition to playing an instrumental role in the Aetna acquisition, Denton is responsible for all aspects of financial planning and management at CVS. He joined the retailer in 1999 and has more than 25 years of finance and operational experience.
Denton's appointment is the latest in a series of personnel and operational changes at Lowe's that followed new chief executive officer Marvin Ellison's arrival in July.
Lowe's also announced that it will close all 99 of its Orchard Supply Hardware stores, among other developments.
"[Denton] is a proven retail executive with expertise in finance, capital allocation and strategic planning," Ellison said in a media release. "[Denton] also has a strong background in large-scale transformation efforts and has achieved outstanding results throughout his tenure. I am confident that [Denton] will play a key role as we accelerate growth, profitability and return on capital at Lowe's."

In this paper we propose a methodology to determine the structure of the pseudo-stoichiometric coefficient matrix K in a mass balance based model, i.e. the maximal number of biomasses that must be taken into account to reproduce an available data set. It consists in estimating the number of reactions that must be taken into account to represent the main mass transfer within the bioreactor. This provides the dimension of K. The method is applied to data from an anaerobic digestion process and shows that even a model including a single biomass is sufficient. Then we apply the same method to the "synthetic data" issued from the complex ADM1 model, showing that the main model features can be obtained with two biomasses.
