Hey! This was exactly what I was looking for! But Im having a problem with the doors (two doors, door A and Door B). Im using makerBot (resent version) to export the print file to my Replicator 2 printer. When building the raft, it only builds a raft big enough for door A. When the raft is done and it starts building the doors, it starts with door A, when moving to door B, there is no raft underneath, hence it builds 2mm up in the air.
Why is this happening? And what can I do about it?
Great Idea! Are these standard height or High cube?
Thanks! Standard I'm pretty sure, although to be honest I designed these 4 years ago and can't find the source files... at the time I didn't know the difference :) Have been meaning to redesign these for a while now, using customizer to swap out various options, etc. Let me know if you print them or have ideas!
like the snaps locks!
Thanks! I'm pretty new here, thanks for commenting :)

Hi everyone,
So, I've been wanting a BBL for about 1-2 years now. I always had a squarish back, and flat booty. I love my front (love my waist, hips, etc.) but I hate how I look from behind.
I tried working out and I lost quite a bit of weight. And while my problem areas (love handles, hips, etc). did diminish, eventually so did my booty, and then my boobs :(. I was a D and now I'm a small C. Losing my chest is what thrust me into researching BBL, pros + cons, etc. Because I simply do not want a boob job.
Reading everyone's posts/reviews really gave me the courage to step forward and have a consultation. I can't believe I'm doing this! Eeeek! :)
I'm extremely excited! My surgery is Nov. 18...and yes..I'm certainly scared! But almost everyone who's had this done is glad they went through this procedure. So I'm hoping with all my heart that I will be one of them!
I know a lot of discomfort and pain awaits me! But it's about 1-2 weeks of it and if others can do it, I can do it!
I chose Dr. H due to his location, before/after photos, years of experience, aaaand** a review posted here on RealSelf. Her results were amazing. Her hips/booty are a very similar shape to mine, so I hope I can achieve something close to her results.
My only trepidation is that when I first met with Dr. H he told me that because of my size I wouldn't be able to achieve a huge butt. He said to expect something more conservative (since I have a smaller frame). But when I went in for my pre-surgery appointment to take pictures, he asked if I was ok with going bigger? I told him I'm more about shape than projection...Plus I want it to look more natural. I'll be sure to re-emphasize that on the day of surgery!
Will post a few pics up soon.
Current weight: 121
Lipo areas: inner thighs, full back, full front...and of course...MUFFIN TOP :)
Finally Feeling Booty-ful! - Sacramento, CA
Hi everyone, So, I've been wanting a BBL...
Hi everyone,
Day 1-2: Pain has been less than expected. The...
I have really had the need to take my pain pills. People are right your lipo areas feel like you've gone to the gym but thats it! Ive experienced worse pain at the gym actualu!!
The doc said he put 800 cvs per cheek. Originally he said it was gonna b 1200 and I think the look on face said it all!!
To me 800 is still a lot :( and right now I look lik I have beyonces booty! Which is NOT what I wanted. :( I hope the size goes. Cuz it's huuuuge now.
Also., the doc said to sleep on my consultation with him (on Tuesday). :/. I dnt get it. Most ppl with BBLs are recommended to sleep on their belly! Isn't that weird!?
I have pretty dark bruises which scared my BFF and I think at one point my bf almost fainted :(.
I hope day 3 Is not bad. With my luck u never know! They say that's wen the swelling is it's worst.
Also..I don't want jinx myself but I've had little to no drainage. N I think mines open drainages. Idk :/. But since I haven't leaked does that mean I was sewn up?
Will post some pictuers soon. I took some before the surgery and a few after my sugery am with the garment on :).
I did it guys! After 2 years of considering this procedure, I hav finaly mustered up the courage to so it!!
** sorry for typos. I'm on my posting the review....
I meant that I haven't had the need to get on the pain pils much
** I'm on MY PHONE posting the message. ** He...
** He put 800ccs in each cheek (not 800 CVS) lol
** Doc said to sleep on my back! To avoide uneven swelling in the butt.
Is this normal? I'd call his office to ask but it's Saturday and they close :(
Hello Everyone, Sorry it's taken me so long to...
Sorry it's taken me so long to update!
Basically I had no real pain. I was just incredibly sore--it was hard to bend over, hard to stretch. I felt tender. But pain wise--I essentially had no pain. I could have stopped taking pain pills on Day 2, but took them anyway in case I was numb from Day 1's anesthesia. I didn't take any pills on Day 3--no even tyelonl.
People say Day 1-3 are the worst, but honestly Day 2-5 were the worst for me. And not because I was in pain, but because I was incredibly swollen! It was so aggravating to me. It literally wore down my patience and tolerance. Day 1 I was pretty out of it so it was OK. But Day 2-5 were so annoying because I swelled so much. Each day was worse than the day before. I walked incredibly slow, and I walked like a penguin! NO joke. Some days I'd wake up and my hands were incredibly swollen and even my face was swollen! Everything would just be so puffy. But that would eventually go down a little bit by mid-day. If you're wondering, "Oh how swollen could you get?" Let me put it this way...I was sure I was going to get stretch marks from all the swelling. I probably looked like I gained 40 pounds. I'm normally a size 5, I went up to a size 11.
To me, the absolute worst. THE WORST (and I can't believe no one has really mentioned it) is that my gentials swelled up too. The doctor had said that swelling travels down so to expect my vagina to swell up too. But man. No one said it was going to be THAT bad! It was so painful. I wanted to take pain pills just for that. It got extremely dry and sensitive and it was plain hell. I finally got the genius idea to put hydrocortisone cream on it, wrap it with a baby wipe (so when I walked the lips wouldn't rub together as much), and I iced it whenever it got intolerable. It took a huge toll on my self esteem. I kept complaining about it. Felt like I had the Elephant Man's nose down there. Oh and I should probably mention that both lips weren't huge. One was swollen (relatively normal) and the other was ginormous. I felt like grabbing a needle and poking it--that's how crazy it was making me. The doctor said that the garment was slightly off and so maybe that accounted for the disporportioned swelling (I was shifting the garment's hole a lot so maybe I'm to blame for this? I don't know...).
By the end of Day 5, my swelling went down a tiiiiny bit and THANK GOD the swelling down there went down enough for it be bareable. By the end of Day 6 I stopped wearing the wipes and by the end of Day 7 everything was back to relative normlacy. What was also a huuuuge help was to put a big pillow under my thighs while sleeping on my back. This would elevate my feet and reduce some of the swelling "down there."
Once the swelling goes down, you really start to see the light at the end of the tunnel. You can get up faster, you can walk faster and more normal looking, and your shape really comes into view.
Day 1-6 I felt like I was dressed in a fat suit. My butt looked ENORMOUS. I was so incredibly worried that my doc put in too much and I honestly felt deformed. I knew that my stomach and back were really swollen so that part didn't discourage me. I was paranoid and freaking out at the thought that my butt was going to be as huge as I was seeing it.
When I saw the doc on Day 5 he said that my butt wasn't going to go down much and I started freaking out. He calmed me down and said not to worry that it was going to go down and that most people complain about it not being big enough and that I just needed to wait it out. And he said worst case senario he'd go back in and take fat out and that it'd be a way easier process. So that made me feel better.
I didn't take off my garment to shower until Day 5. I didn't feel light-headed like so many people report. My skin just felt funny. Lotion feels weird against my skin. Like it's too think. And my skin (in the lipo areas) just feels tender, etc. So I rub Almond oil and the oily consistency reduces the unpleasant "funny" feeling. Each day this feeling goes away little by little and every day the skin feels a bit more normal. Showers are slowly becoming more enjoyable.
I've had only 2 bowel movements in what? 10 Days? Took some milk of magnesia on day 8 and that helped. Looks like I'll need to take some again today! I thought it would be hard to wipe, but nope! Baby wipes come in handy though I will say that!
I really do love the shape of my bum. The doc did an amazing, phenomal job! To me size wasn't the issue...just the shape. And Dr. Hegg outdid himself, he really did. It's round and it's exactly what I wanted! I said, "I want an upside down heart bottom" and that's what I got! I'll post pics up tomorrow. I forgot my camera's usb connector thing at my friend's house.
I've yet to really know how good of a lipo job he did because I'm still swollen and I have bruises everywhere, but I can definately tell I have less fat on my abs/back and my booty shape is great. Each day the swelling goes down in the butt a tiny bit. I don't feel deformed anymore. Just feel like a girl with a huge booty. Which is good for me :). I still want it to go down, though. I don't want that huge of a butt...but if it stays this way I won't be upset :).
Since I was so paranoid about the booty staying huge, I made it a point to sit on my butt and basically do all the things people say not to do! I figured the more it goes down the better :). On day 5 when I went to the doc, he said that I could sit on my bum but just to avoid friction (like rubbing my bum against things with pressue). So sometimes I tentaively sit on my bum. I've laid on my back too (with pillows under my thighs and back--this position felt really good to me).
I had originally planned to have someone help me post-surgery for like 2-3 days...yeah no. Thank God my boyfriend was there because I honestly needed help for like 5-6 days. You need someone to pick up things for you, help you get up and lie down and find comfy positions. You will constantly drop things and you need someone to help you pick things up. Honestly this is the major thing. HAVE SOMEONE BE THERE ALL DAY TO HELP YOU. Plan for at least 5 days. No but's!
Overall -- my recovery is going great! The worst is behind me and now I'm finally feeling like myself! I can't wait to try on outfits to check out my new me! I've gone shopping a little bit here and there for the holidays and when I see girls with big shapely rears I no longer get jealous! I think "yeaaaah I got it too, girl!" Already I feel great about my booty so I can only imagine how I'll feel a month from now!
Today is Day 10 and I'm back at work! Honestly it feels great to be back to work! I absolutely could not withstand being home all day for another day. No way. I work in an office so I'll be mainly sitting, but since I want my booty to go down a little bit more this is a-ok by me! (I'm still mainly sitting on my thighs and I do have a pillow--so no worries, ladies!)
I'm wearing a loose dress so the people around me won't notice I have a huge booty, and I wear my coat when I leave my cubicle. I don't know how much longer I'll be able to disguise it, but wish me luck !
I've yet to tell anyone in my family--including my mom! I'll see how that goes when I meet up with them--I can't avoid them forever! But I'll be sure to dress more discreetly.

Have Relationship Questions? Ask a Counselor for Answers ASAP
Hi! I'll be glad to be of help with this issue.
I can imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. You are clearly a normal young woman and you are trying to move the relationship forward in normal ways. But he doesn't seem to be reciprocating. He's moving in starts and stops; it's rather jerky, as in unstable. And that's a bit unsettling, I can see. And for good reason. It isn't quite the normal way you'd expect from a guy in his early 30s.
And this is actually the key to my answer to you that you need to consider and think about. He has given you an explanation for his behavior that would explain what you're describing. I don't think you have to go looking for something more strange about him or his mental health at this point. That he hasn't had a lot of relationships for someone his age would be very natural for someone who's shy and awkward. And that's how it's been going: awkwardly. So that makes sense.
That he's looking for Miss Perfect is a bit worrisome, that's true. You would figure that by the time he got to 30 he would have realized that there is no Miss Perfect just like there isn't any Mr. Perfect! Look at your situation: you're making lots of effort to give him the benefit of the doubt; he's certainly not perfect.
So, again, I don't think you need to look for some deeper mental health problem at this point. He's a perfectionist and he is not looking for perfectionism in himself as much as in who he forms a long term relationship with. That's immature, but then he's shy. And he clearly has a lot of good qualities, because you're very attracted to him still, after all this time.
But to make it work given his personality, you're going to have to continue being both patient and upfront and open. You're going to be the one taking the lead in this relationship. So you need to ask questions when you are in doubt and not feel like you should wait for him to bring things up. You've had good success with him asking him directly and that's what you need to keep doing.
Okay, I wish you the very best!
My goal is for you to feel like you've gotten Great Service from me and the site. If we need to continue the discussion for that to happen, then please feel free to reply and we'll continue working on this.

If I can be of further help with any issue now or in the future, just put "For Dr. Mark" in the front of your new question, and I'll be the one to answer it. All the best, Dr. Mark

I'm so glad the "local scene" lives on via the internet. I have been starved for some good ol' fashioned metal for quite some time, and this definitely filled the cup. I think I'm going to chart this for Phase Shift so I can be as cool as you.
In short, very well done sir. Looking forward to more.
Why thank you, good man.
I shall, indeed, be working on more in the coming times. Until then, I will sip this Brandy and laugh quietly to myself whilst watching cat videos on the Tube of You's.

Dragons are definatly greater than unicorns, this song proves it. Stellar work as always :D.
Thats my dose of guitar for the day.
Hey, thanks for the review dude!
Dragons are HANDS DOWN better than unicorns. There is no disputing this irrefutable fact. It's like how Strawberry jam is better than Grape. It's just a fact of life!
Rated 5 / 5 stars
Great work as usual, especially loved the guitars during the last minute of the song, great way to conclude. While I thought the drums were fine before, you can definitely tell that special attention was paid to them in this song, not a bad thing of course, but noticeable. Certainly heavy enough for me ;D
Muhaha thanks dude! I'm glad somebody noticed that I paid special attention to my drums. They're like the slow kid in the kindergarten class: You've gotta give them special attention or they eat all the crayons.
And then the scissors.
But I'm glad you enjoyed it :3 Thanks for coming back and checking me out, dude. You're like my biggest fan :P

Michael "Bodhi" Rogers has a vignette on Additional Examples of Undergraduate Research at the Intersection of Disciplines published in the Winter CURQ
Physics and Archaeology as an Interdisciplinary Endeavor
Council of Undergraduate Research Quarterly 30 (2)
CURQ Vignettes: Additional Examples of Undergraduate Research at the Intersection of Disciplines
Physics and Archaeology as an Interdisciplinary Endeavor: Archaeological geophysics uses ground-penetrating radar, conductivity, magnetometry, and resistivity to non-invasively create images of the earth's subsurface. These images directly address anthropological questions as well as guiding archaeological excavation. As a physicist (PhD) and an archaeologist (MAIS), my research involves both physics and archaeology students. I involve physics students in examining the physical and chemical properties creating our geophysical signals, gathering and processing data, and developing more efficient research methods. Archaeology students excavate, process artifacts, and make anthropological interpretations. What makes this type of research especially fun is that student roles are switched where physics students so some excavation and archaeology students conduct geophysical surveys to broaden their experiences while working in interesting geographical and cultural contexts.

Fitness center makes cancer fight possible
Battling breast cancer three times is not a war most women have to fight. But from 2000 through 2006, Wendy Hailey was in and out of doctor's offices and hospitals for surgeries, chemotherapy, radiation and countless checkups.
"You don't expect it once," Wendy said. "You don't expect it twice. You never expect it three times."
After her third diagnosis of breast cancer, Wendy was ready to be done with the disease. She opted for a double mastectomy and finished what she thought would be her final rounds of chemotherapy and radiation.
Just two years later she heard "cancer" again, cervical cancer.
"Every time you hear the word 'cancer' it is hard, but the fourth time I was too determined to let it get me down," Wendy says. "I opted for a hysterectomy and was ready to fight. With the help of the Sentara Cancer Network physicians and advancements, I was able to recover after almost a decade of facing diseases."
Throughout her multiple treatments, Wendy knew she had to keep her strength and stay healthy. With a referral from her physician, Wendy was recommended for a scholarship to the Sentara Center for Health and Fitness cancer fitness program.
The program offers exercise and nutrition education with a continuum of care. It seeks to reduce cancer reoccurrences for survivors of all types of cancer.
After her final surgery, Wendy was ready to get back to the fitness center and begin building her strength back up.
"I am so thankful for the Sentara Center for Health and Fitness and the Sentara Cancer Network for helping me battle through my cancer journey," she notes.

A critical list for all of you who want to pick up beta2 (and let's face it, who wouldn't?) and write code which can latter still run successfully on RTM bits (or at least, be in better shape to run). We have a lot of APIs which have been introduced during the development of V2.0, and have subsequently been obsoleted. This indicates we're goign to rip that API out before we ship. We ibvously want people to not rely on these APIs.
The easiest way to avoid this of course, is to simply compile your code and have no obsolete warnings. But failing that, just make sure you don't use one of these APIs:

Sanus ELM806 PowerBridge®
Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
This product would get a 5 star if it were a little smaller. You have to be sure that you have enough room behind your TV with the TV mount to install it. Also need to ensure that there is nothing located in the wall that you want to install it to ensure encroachment. If you have insulation in the wall it may be difficult to feed the wires since a probe is not included nor ideas on alternative fishing. Other than that easy installation and nice looking.
Pros: ease of installation.. looks
Cons: size.

Every now and then I try to introduce a little bit of communication theory into practice. This time, we'll be dealing with Gricean maxims of communication. They fall into the area of pragmatics and there are four of them – quantity, quality, relevance and manner.
In terms of practical usability, these things will come in handy in a face to face conversation or when talking to a journalist over the phone.
Be truthful to the journalist. Don't add any speculations disguised as objective information to your news release. That's lying, and even though you might get away with it once, it will greatly damage your reputation in the long run. Just stick to writing about what you have sound evidence for or believe it to be true.
Here is a classic example of breaking the maxim of quality. Imagine you are writing a news release, and the journalist has a soft spot for companies that win awards. Your firm has never won one, but you really need to get the news release published, so you get the much coveted coverage. Will you lie?
What's the danger? The journalist may actually check the factuality of the news. In case it slips through and gets published, the annoyed organizers of the competition will complain. Next step: kiss your relationship with the journalist goodbye.
Say only as much as you need to say. The journalist's time is limited and you have to make it short. Luke Sullivan, a copywriting legend, put it well in his book "Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This!"
Keep your pre-ramble short and unless your client insists, omit it completely.
Tell the facts wrapped into a story, not just a story or just facts. The facts will help you to gain the reporter's attention and the story supports credibility of your information. A press release should not be longer than one page, however, if the information is truly amazing and won't fit on one page, feel free to break this rule.
This maxim is the most difficult to describe. You have to know what the journalists are after when writing a story and then be as helpful as you can be. There is no general advice I could possibly give. Adherence to this maxim has to be judged on a case-by-case basis. Specifically, you have to connect with the journalist and get to know him or her. Then find out what he needs and make his life easier.
Clarity is the name of the game here. Do not use words from hell like innovative, solution, proactive, groundbreaking, thought leader and other puffery. Bear in mind that not everybody has a thesaurus in his head, so simple language is a must. It makes the story easy to read and easy to remember. You will thank me later for this rule when you start measuring key messages recall.
Stick to Orwell's rule:
Never use a long word where a short one will do.

On June 28, 2002, the U.S. Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) and the City of Reno, Nevada executed the first of three Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA) loan agreements for the Reno Transportation Rail Access Corridor (ReTRAC). When complete in 2006, the $283 million project will feature a below-grade, 2.25-mile rail corridor through downtown Reno with two mainline tracks, an access road, and an Amtrak station stop. Bridges over the corridor will replace 10 at-grade rail crossings. Rail service will remain uninterrupted during construction via a temporary "shoofly" track built as part of the project.
The $50.5 million loan closed in conjunction with the City's issuance of $114.2 million in senior project bonds. Revenues from a county sales tax and a downtown hotel tax secure both the senior bonds and the TIFIA loan. This represents the first public issuance of senior securities with subordinated TIFIA debt as well as the first time TIFIA has participated with a major bond insurer. Up to $23 million of additional TIFIA credit assistance will be provided via two loans to be negotiated in the coming months.
On July 25, 2002, the U.S. DOT and the Texas Transportation Commission (TTC) executed a $917 million loan to support the $3.6 billion "first phase" of the Central Texas Turnpike Project. The Turnpike is composed of three distinct elements: Loop 1, a 3.5-mile north-south route in the Austin vicinity; State Highway (SH) 45 North, a 13.2-mile highway connecting Austin, Round Rock, and Pflugerville; and the northern segment of SH 130, a 49-mile eastern bypass of Austin's congested Interstate 35.
The Texas Turnpike Authority Division of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) is managing the project. Loop 1 and SH 45 will be constructed using the traditional design-bid-build process, while SH 130 is under an exclusive development agreement with Lone Star Infrastructure. The Turnpike will be completed in segments, with the final segment open to traffic in December 2007.
In conjunction with the TIFIA loan, the TTC issued $1.2 billion in revenue bonds and $900 million in Bond Anticipation Notes (BANs). Turnpike toll revenues will secure both the senior bonds and the subordinate TIFIA debt. The remainder of the project will be financed through TxDOT grants and contributions of right-of-way by the surrounding jurisdictions.
TTC expects to use about $17 million of the TIFIA loan proceeds to fund project construction costs, with the balance allocated to retiring the BANs if cost effective.

Over the FY 1999-2003 period, the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) authorized TIFIA credit support of $10.6 billion to directly assist major surface transportation projects. To date, the TIFIA program has committed $3.5 billion of credit assistance to 10 projects representing $15 billion in transportation infrastructure investment, at a budgetary cost to the Federal Government of only $183 million. Up to $2.6 billion in credit assistance will be available in FY 2003. Under its "rolling" application process, the TIFIA program will accept letters of interest from potential applicants at any time.

On Friday, June 7, 2002, the U.S. DOT delivered a Report to Congress regarding the TIFIA Credit Program. The report fulfills the Congressional requirement to summarize, within four years of the June 9, 1998 enactment of TEA-21, the financial performance of projects assisted by TIFIA and to discuss alternatives for achieving the program objectives in the future. The 42-page report reviews the policy objectives of TIFIA and implementation of the program by the U.S. DOT. It analyzes the TIFIA project portfolio in terms of modal, geographic, and financial diversity. The report reviews current TIFIA project commitments in light of the program's stated objectives and additional benefits identified by project sponsors. The report also includes a discussion of credit issues encountered during loan negotiations. Finally, as directed by Congress, the report reviews alternatives for the TIFIA program administration: continuing the program under the U.S. DOT, establishing a government corporation or government-sponsored enterprise, or phasing out the program and relying on the capital markets.
The Report to Congress is available on the TIFIA web site at https://www.transportation.gov/tifia.
The speeches have been given, the ribbons have been cut, and the crowds have gone home. Another project is up and running. Now what?
With a typical maturity of 35 years, a TIFIA loan creates a long-term relationship between lender and borrower. Well after agreements are executed, funds disbursed, and projects constructed, ongoing fiduciary responsibilities remain. Through the loan servicing function, the TIFIA credit program not only collects and records loan repayments but also generates management, budget, and accounting information. The U.S. DOT selected the firm of Riggs & Co. to develop and maintain a comprehensive system for TIFIA credit accounting, collections, and financial reporting.
Earlier this year, Riggs completed the first phase of a loan servicing system featuring extensive capabilities and flexibility to meet TIFIA-specific requirements, government-wide financial guidance, and changing management information needs.
Specifically, the TIFIA loan servicing system will:
The TIFIA program is planning a second phase of the system that would allow borrowers and other stakeholders to access the loan data through a secure Internet web site.

The "TIFIA Trivia" box provides responses to questions posed by our readers and other observers. We hope you find this "TIFIA Trivia" section useful and that you will submit questions to Mark Sullivan, TIFIA JPO, 202/366-5785.
The TIFIA statute requires that a project's senior debt be investment grade. What are issues to be aware of?
The U.S. DOT and the project sponsor must carefully examine and resolve intercreditor issues during negotiation of agreements. If the applicant already has an existing bond indenture, the U.S. DOT must determine whether TIFIA requirements can be met by folding the TIFIA instrument into the existing structure.

State Infrastructure Banks (SIBs) continue to be an important tool in the transportation finance toolbox. As shown in the table to the right, 32 states have entered into 297 SIB loan agreements with a dollar value of over $4.0 billion as of June 30, 2002. This represents growth in the value of loan agreements of 40 percent over the past nine months.
The ability of states to maximize the potential of their SIBs to help finance transportation investment needs can be enhanced through leveraging, which refers to the issuance of bonds against a SIB's capitalization. This issue of IFQ highlights the experience of South Carolina and Minnesota in leveraging their SIBs to provide loan support to needed state transportation projects.

With $4.0 billion in loan activity achieved by the nation's SIBs to date, major strides have been made by states in implementing the SIB program and increasing investment in transportation infrastructure. While the pace of SIB implementation has been affected by insufficient capitalization - TEA-21 placed limitations on Federal capitalization, and the economic downturn has affected the capacity of states to provide new infusions of capital to existing SIBs - states have the opportunity to enhance SIB funding through leveraging. Leveraging a revolving loan fund such as a SIB offers significant potential for expanding the pool of projects that can be financed. Of the 32 states participating in the SIB program today, two states - South Carolina and Minnesota - have issued bonds to leverage their SIBs. These states have taken different approaches in structuring their programs, demonstrating the flexibility states have in tailoring SIBs to meet state specific needs.
The South Carolina Transportation Infrastructure Bank (SCTIB) is authorized to issue bonds under the enabling legislation establishing the bank in 1997. The SCTIB is a good example of a large, leveraged SIB. Since its inception, the SCTIB has approved financing and begun development of over $3.0 billion in projects. SCTIB loans are financing most of the costs of these projects. The SCTIB has issued over $1.2 billion in revenue bonds to date to provide funds for approved projects. Another $600 million in a mixture of general obligation and revenue bonds is planned over the next two years to fund loan disbursements. The leveraged SCTIB is helping to compress 27 years of road and bridge projects into a seven-year acceleration program, known as "27 in 7."
Minnesota's SIB is a partnership between two state agencies with bonding accomplished through a conduit agency. The Minnesota Public Facilities Authority is responsible for bond issuance and the financial operations of the bank, while the Minnesota DOT evaluates the technical merits of project applications. Both highway and transit projects are eligible for assistance. Minnesota's SIB, designated as the Transportation Revolving Loan Fund (TRLF), has been capitalized with $35 million in Federal funds and $24 million in state funds. These funds have been leveraged through two bond issues, totaling $37.6 million. The first issue in 1999 in the amount of $17.1 million financed a loan to the Metropolitan Council for transit-related improvements. Then in 2001 a second issue for $20.5 million funded 11 project loans. Loan repayments are pledged for debt service.
As transportation agencies explore the potential of expanding SIBs through leveraging, they also can look to the experience of states in financing environmental infrastructure projects through State Revolving Funds (SRFs) the most widely used model of revolving loan funds operating at the state level. The SRF program, established in 1987, provides funding assistance to water pollution abatement projects through Federal matching grants to capitalize SRFs.
One of the unique features of the SRF program is the capacity of states to leverage their loan funds through the municipal bond market. States have used one of two basic structures to leverage Federal capitalization grants for wastewater and drinking water facilities: the Cash Flow Model or the Reserve Fund Model. State law and program goals have been determining factors in the choice of models. The diagrams to the right describe the two models. Under the cash flow model, loans are funded from bond proceeds and capitalization grants, while under the reserve fund model, Federal capitalization grants and state matching monies are not used to make loans directly.
Leveraging has made a significant impact on SRF activity. As of the June 2001, 23 states have leveraged their wastewater funds, generating almost double the loan dollar volume as the states, which have not leveraged funds. As shown in the table below, bonds have added $10.1 billion to SRF funding.
Revenue bond proceeds are blended with capitalization funds to make loans at subsidized rates and to provide debt service coverage. Debt service reserve is funded from bond proceeds.
Leveraging SIBs - The Reserve Fund Model
All Federal and state capitalization grants/monies fund debt service reserve that provides interest rate subsidy and serves as security for investors.
Recognizing that leveraging is a way to maximize the benefits of the SIB, Ohio is moving forward with implementation of a leveraged SIB. Ohio's SIB program was originally capitalized with $40 million in State General Revenue funds and $120 million in Federal highway funds. Expansion of Ohio's SIB program through bonds will provide additional capital for transportation projects, enabling the state to accelerate construction and obtain both the system and economic benefits sooner than otherwise would have been possible. Bond proceeds are expected to be lent to political subdivisions with loans averaging between $3 million and $10 million. The Ohio DOT will issue the bonds and pledge all current and future SIB loan repayments to secure the bonds issued.
States have the opportunity to learn from the experiences of South Carolina, Minnesota, and Ohio as they evaluate options to enhance SIB capitalization to meet loan demands. The SRF experience also provides useful insights for maximizing a SIB's potential through bonding. The Florida DOT currently is evaluating the leveraging of its SIB. In many states, the lack of legislative authorization has been the primary barrier to SIB bonding. Additional capitalization though an expansion of the SIB pilot program would provide an asset base to increase loan resources through leveraging to meet surface transportation infrastructure needs.

Since January 2002, four new Grant Anticipation Revenue Vehicle (GARVEE) bond issues have been brought to market, including the first issue for Alabama (highlighted on the following page).
Also of note is Colorado's recent refunding GARVEE bond issue (designated as TRANS). In August, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) sold a $400 million refunding bond issue. The proceeds will be used to advance refund a portion of the 2000 and 2001 GARVEE series, reducing annual interest costs.

In June, Louisiana enacted legislation (SB 80) authorizing the state to issue GARVEEs. SB 80, signed into law by the Governor on June 25, 2002, allows the State Bond Commission to issue revenue bonds secured by a pledge of Federal transportation funds, state matching funds, and other revenues. The aggregate amount of principal and interest on all bonds issued is limited to 10 percent of annual Federal highway funding. The bonds will be used to finance the accelerated construction of certain state transportation projects.

In April 2000, the Governor of Alabama proposed selling bonds to raise money to replace some 1,600 county bridges that were weight-restricted and could not be used for school bus traffic. The situation created extensive and costly detours around the weight-restricted bridges. The Governor's plan involved borrowing against future Federal bridge rehabilitation funds in order to accelerate bridge replacement projects across the state.
A month later, the Alabama Legislature approved the bond sale contingent on a constitutional amendment for selling $50 million of general obligation bonds to raise money for the local matching share. This constitutional amendment required approval by the state's voters. In November 2000, voters approved the constitutional amendment and the bridge rehabilitation program began.
The $250 million program ($50 million of general obligation bonds for the non-Federal share plus $200 million of GARVEE bonds for the Federal share) will replace approximately 1,300 county bridges in all 67 counties statewide. The state's general obligation bonds were sold in November 2001, and the GARVEEs were sold in April 2002 on a competitive basis. The GARVEE issue was rated A by Standard & Poor's, and achieved a total interest cost of just over 4.65 percent. The first three GARVEE funded projects were approved for advance construction in December 2000, and currently there are about $68 million of advance construction projects underway. Further details about the issue are presented in the table below.

Each issue of IFQ features questions and answers on the GARVEE program. This issue addresses the treatment of GARVEE debt service in state plans. Note that answers to these questions are not regulatory or legislative, but represent Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) current administrative interpretations. If you have questions or want to confirm any of this information, please contact your local FHWA Division office. GARVEE guidance is also available at:
How Should GARVEE Debt Service Appear on the STIP ?
To comply with the intent of the fiscally constrained planning process, the Federal share of the debt-related costs (e.g., interest and principal payments, associated issuance costs, and ongoing debt servicing expenses) anticipated to be reimbursed with Federal-aid funds over the life of the bonds should be designated as advance construction (AC). The planned amount of Federal-aid reimbursement for debt service (AC conversion) should be included in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) in accordance with FHWA procedures relating to STIP preparation.
How Should GARVEE Debt Service Appear on the Long-Range Plan ?
The full cost of planned GARVEE projects (including interest costs) should appear on the Long-Range Plan.

Public/private partnerships are an increasingly popular method of financing transportation projects that benefit both the general public and the private sector. While there are various forms of public/private partnerships, the agreements generally provide for a segregation of financial and operational responsibility between the public and private sectors to facilitate the completion of a project. This segregation of responsibility leverages some of the risk associated with constructing, operating, and maintaining a facility from the public sector to the private sector. An example of a successful public/private partnership is the use of shadow tolling in the agreement between Florida's Turnpike Enterprise (the "Turnpike"), Broward County (the "County"), and the Arena Operating Co., Ltd. and the Arena Development Co., Ltd. (together as the "Operator/Developer").
In 1997, the County and the Operator/Developer requested that the Turnpike build an interchange on the Sawgrass Expressway, one of the toll facilities owned and operated by the Turnpike. The interchange would provide expressway access to a proposed multi-purpose sports and entertainment complex situated adjacent to the Sawgrass Expressway. Use of the expressway would alleviate the expected high volumes of traffic on local roads during arena events. In addition, the interchange would allow for controlled access entering and exiting the arena. Based on the request, the Turnpike assessed the economic viability of the interchange to determine that a specific transportation need would be met and would be supported by the local community. In addition, the project had to meet state environmental impact restrictions. Finally, the projected costs of the construction, maintenance, and operation of the interchange had to be compared to the expected revenues to evaluate the costs and benefits of the interchange. Based on the results of the analysis, the Turnpike concluded that despite the need, local support, and environmental feasibility of the project, the costs of constructing, operating, and maintaining the interchange significantly exceeded the expected revenues.
Since the projected cash flows did not support the Turnpike constructing the interchange on a standalone basis, the Turnpike, the County, and the Operator/Developer entered into an agreement in which the Turnpike provided the $10 million capital outlay for the construction of the interchange. The terms of the agreement require the Operator/Developer to remit annual payments to the Turnpike for the imputed debt service (calculated by amortizing $10 million over 30 years at 5.91 percent interest) and the operating and maintenance costs ($47,700 in the initial year with a three percent annual increase), net of gross toll revenue collected from traffic entering the arena during events and from traffic exiting the arena during non-event periods. Since tolls are suspended for a specified period of time at the completion of an arena event, the Turnpike requires the Operator/Developer to pay a shadow toll equal to the lost revenue. Shadow tolls are tolls paid to the facility operator by someone other than the facility user.
The shadow tolls at the Broward Arena are assessed to the Operator/Developer based on a manual count of vehicles exiting the arena factored by the toll rate that would normally be collected at the toll plaza. The use of shadow tolls has a number of advantages. One of the main advantages is the transfer of traffic risk from the Turnpike to the Operator/Developer. Since the collection of tolls at the conclusion of an event would unnecessarily congest the traffic exiting the arena, it poses a safety risk normally borne by the Turnpike as operator of the toll facility. The use of shadow tolls, however, alleviates the traffic risk to the Turnpike, without the negative financial impact of a toll suspension. Another advantage of the shadow toll is the perceived benefit to the facility users. Patrons of the arena perceive the toll suspension as a benefit to attending the arena events. As such, the patron's perception also benefits the Operator/Developer in the form of increased attendance at arena events. Due in part to the ease with which patrons can access the arena, attendance at events is positively impacted.
Total traffic volume on the interchange has nearly doubled since the first full year of operation, and for the year ended June 30, 2002 was approximately 570,000. Despite the increased use of the interchange, toll revenue has not been sufficient to fund the required annual payment of the Operator/Developer. As such, the Turnpike bills the Operator/Developer for the annual shortfall amount based on the agreement provisions. The success of the public/private partnership between the Turnpike, Broward County, and the Operator/Developer underscores the fact that public projects that benefit private interests can be successfully developed and financed in order to mitigate risks associated with a project as well as to pool needed resources.
As cash flow limitations continue to require the public sector to seek innovative ways to finance needed transportation projects, opportunities for strategic alliances in the form of public/private partnerships will increase. For transportation projects, these alliances may utilize shadow tolling in order to leverage the risks of financial and operational responsibility between public and private sectors.

The Federal-aid highway program, when created in 1916, did not allow the use of Federal-aid funds on toll facilities. This position remained unchanged until 1927 when Congress enacted legislation that permitted Federal-aid highway funding to be used to construct toll bridges and approaches. Subsequent legislation provided more flexibility on using Federal-aid highway funds for improvements to toll facilities with the last significant changes being made in 1991 with passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act.
Currently, toll activities eligible for Federal-aid highway funding include:
If Federal-aid funds are used for construction of, or improvements to, a toll facility or the approach to a toll facility, or if a state plans to reconstruct and convert a free highway, bridge, or tunnel previously constructed with Federal-aid highway funds to a toll facility, a toll agreement is required (see Title 23, United States Code, Section 129(a)(3)). The toll agreement is executed between FHWA, the state DOT, and the toll authority.
The toll agreement must require that all toll revenues are first used for any of the following: debt service; reasonable return on private investment; and operation and maintenance, including reconstructing, resurfacing, restoring, and rehabilitating work.
The agreement also may include a provision regarding toll revenues in excess of those needed for the required uses outlined above. This provision would allow these excess revenues to be used for highway and transit purposes authorized under Title 23 if the state certifies annually that the toll facility is being adequately maintained.
The issue of whether a toll facility is to become free when debt is retired or at some other future point in time or whether tolls are to be continued indefinitely is a matter to be determined by the state.
Decisions regarding the amount of tolls charged are made by the toll authority subject to requirements under state and local laws and regulations. These decisions require no review or input from FHWA.
Section 1216(b) of TEA-21 established a new pilot program to allow conversion of a free Interstate highway to a toll facility in conjunction with needed reconstruction or rehabilitation of the Interstate highway that only is possible with the collection of tolls. The FHWA Headquarters issued a December 24, 1998 memorandum to its division offices soliciting candidate projects from the states for this pilot. No candidates were submitted. The FHWA Headquarters subsequently issued an April 6, 1999 memorandum to its division offices advising them that the pilot program remained available to the states as an open-ended solicitation and candidates would be accepted on a first-come basis.
FHWA published a report in February 1999 entitled Toll Facilities in the United States (Publication No. FHWA-PL-99-011) which contains selected information on United States toll facilities.
This report can be viewed online at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/policyinformation/.

FHWA has published an innovative finance handbook, or "primer," and companion brochure that highlight new approaches for bridging the funding gap between transportation investment needs and financial resources. The primer and brochure describe techniques advanced by FHWA in partnership with the states, including innovative management of Federal funds, GARVEEs, and credit assistance, such as SIBs and the TIFIA Federal credit program. Several case studies illustrating how states have used these techniques to close project financing gaps are highlighted in the primer. A list of resources including publications, web sites, and expert technical assistance that can help states and other project sponsors make use of these techniques also is provided.
The primer and brochure are available at the FHWA innovative finance web site:

The Southern Resource Center is pleased to announce that Jim Hatter (fondly known as the Mad Hatter for his creativity and resourcefulness) has joined the SRC Finance Team as an Innovative Finance Specialist. The SRC spirited Jim away from a private sector firm in sunny California. He is enjoying North Georgia's refreshing climate, low real estate prices, and less harried commutes.
Jim has 27 years of municipal finance experience, including 10 years in the public sector. As an investment banker, Jim has financed hundreds of infrastructure projects with a wide variety of tax-exempt and taxable instruments, including general obligation bonds, industrial development revenue bonds, enterprise revenue bonds, pool revenue bonds, special tax bonds, grant and loan anticipation notes, and tax and revenue anticipation notes. While serving in the public sector, he used loan guarantees, bonds, leases, loan anticipation notes, and grant anticipation notes to advance Federal and California state programs supporting municipal infrastructure.
He is a graduate of California State University, Fresno with both Bachelor's and Master's degrees. Over the next several months, Jim is planning to meet with Division and state personnel throughout the south, southwest, and east. He is planning this "grand tour" to obtain a better understanding of customer needs and issues, thereby assisting the SRC Finance Team in its continuing efforts to meet (and exceed!) customer expectations.
Please join us in welcoming Jim to the FHWA Finance Team. Jim can be reached at 404/562-3929.

Help support your Meetup
Interested in studying & discussing the metaphysical life? Want to understand and improve your gifts, your abilities? All of us have them, maybe you just haven't brought yours out yet. We will cover all types of healing, such as energy work & being empathic, the paranormal, past lives, the spiritual life, quantum mechanics, manifestations, and more. We will see how it all relates to our every day lives & how to protect ourselves. We will have workshops that will give us a chance to explore our own abilities, with games that are set up for learning our gifts with simple ways to improve them. We will also work with the artist within all of us, bringing that artist out as we start creating artwork, crafts and music to give these items as gifts or sell at shows and festivals. As we get more of the creative side together we will learn more on how to put our own shows and festivals on each year. As we get to know each other and our group gets stronger we will go to places of interest & power, check out ghost towns and places that are just plain fun starting in Arizona and then to other states.
Click the MORE section of the home page and then click the FILES section in there you will find some old classes that I have put into PDF files for you to read, keep checking now and then because I plan to add more PDF files for you when I can.

1. Scope and Purpose
The aim of the University of Greenwich Research Ethics policy is to encourage a high quality research and enterprise culture, with the highest possible standards of integrity and practice. The policy applies to all academic, contract research and administrative staff, all postgraduate research students, and also undergraduate and masters students who are undertaking research. In short, the policy applies to all disciplines and research activities within the University, or sub-contracted on its behalf.
All staff and students are expected to act ethically when engaged in University business. Any research involving the following requires ethical consideration:
1.2.1 Human participation, defined as:
i. Direct involvement through physically invasive procedures, such as the taking of blood samples
ii. Direct involvement through non-invasive procedures, such as interviews, questionnaires, surveys, observation, laboratory-based experiments
iii. Indirect involvement through access to personal information and/or tissue
iv. Involvement requiring consent on behalf of others, such as by parents for a child participant
220.127.116.11 While particular attention must be paid to the interests of potentially vulnerable groups, including children under the age of eighteen, elderly people, physically or mentally ill people, people with learning difficulties, people in care, bereaved people, and people in prison, the University recognises that it has a duty of care towards all members of the wider community affected by its activities.
220.127.116.11 The University also recognises that it has a duty of care to its own staff, and that this includes the avoidance of harm to those undertaking research. In general, it may be inappropriate for undergraduates to undertake research projects involving vulnerable participants.
1.2.2 The use of non-human sentient creatures. This shall be restricted to research falling outside the scope of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986, for example this could include observational and behavioural studies of animals in a natural setting. This Act regulates the use of protected animals in any experimental or other scientific procedure which may cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm to the animal. A protected animal according to the Act is "any living vertebrate other than man and any living cephalopod. Fish and amphibia are protected once they can feed independently". The Home Office requires a licence for such studies.
1.2.3 Any research proposal involving harmful or criminal, or sensitive or extremist subject matters or research protocols. Extremism is defined, in line with other University policies, as engagement in, or advocacy of, activities which seek through actual or threatened violence, intimidation or harassment to restrict or oppose values of liberal democracy: tolerance, equality, justice, respect for the rule of law, non-violence, inclusiveness, freedom of thought and of expression of thought (whether by oral, visual, written or other means).
2. Responsibilities
The University has established a framework for research ethics governance in which its Research Ethics Committee (UREC), a Committee of Academic Council, has a central approval and provision of advice role.
2.2.1 Ethical scrutiny of certain categories of research is delegated to Faculty Research Ethics Committees (FRECs), in line with their Terms of Reference:
- undergraduate and taught postgraduate investigations, procedures and investigations carried out in the Faculty or under its auspices;
- pilot studies of research projects from staff and higher degree students. A pilot study is defined as a small-scale, preliminary study which seeks to evaluate and validate the method and/or aims of the substantive study, including feasibility, time, cost, adverse events, and sample size, in order to improve upon the design of the study. Pilot studies may increase the likelihood of success in the main study.
2.2.2 Students or staff studying for Masters by Research, or higher degree, must receive approval from their Faculty Research Degrees Committee, before gaining approval from the University Research Ethics Committee.
2.2.3 Notwithstanding the delegation of such ethical approval applications to Faculty Committees as set out above, any research activity involving vulnerable people (as set out in 126.96.36.199 above) or sensitive subject-matter (as set out in 1.2.3 above) may be called in by, or referred to, the University Research Ethics Committee (UREC).
University staff have an obligation to ensure that not only their own research but any undergraduate, masters or higher student research conducted under their supervision is ethically sound.
Where research projects are subject to external approval, for example by the NHS, the Faculty responsible must ensure that this approval is sought, given, and evidence provided to the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Committee. Similarly, where approval for a project has been given by a Research Ethics Committee at another university, as may be the case with a collaborative project, the University of Greenwich Research Ethics Committee must be provided with evidence of this.
Research should not commence until the relevant approval has been granted. See the University's Guidance on Ethical Approval in Research for more guidance.
3. General Principles
The University Research Ethics Policy is based upon widely accepted principles and practices governing research. The key elements are as follows:
3.1.1 Minimal risk of harm to participants and researchers, including emotional and mental distress, and possible damage to financial and social standing, as well as to physical harm. Health and safety issues should always be considered, and risk assessments completed if necessary.
3.1.2 Minimal risk of harm to the environment.
3.1.3 Potential for benefit by society.
3.1.4 Voluntary informed consent by participants. Enough information should be given to participants such that they can understand what the research involves, that they are not coerced into taking part, and can withdraw if they want to. Where this is not possible, for instance in studies where covert observation is employed, or deception is involved, special safeguards or measures should be put into place.
3.1.5 Confidentiality of information supplied by research participants and anonymity of respondents (unless explicit consent is given to the contrary). Issues of lack of privacy and anonymity should always be considered and addressed. Research should conform to Data Protection legislation, including around the keeping, sharing and disposal of personal data.
3.1.6 Maintenance of the dignity of participants.
3.1.7 Independence and impartiality of researchers. Research integrity should be high, research being sound, accountable, and supervised by appropriately qualified and experienced people. Conflicts of interest should be declared. There should be transparency in declaring funding sources.
3.1.8 Appropriate publication and dissemination of research results, in line with the Research Data Management Policy. Assistance will be acknowledged.
4. The Legal Framework, the Role of Professional Associations, and Research Councils
All research undertaken under the auspices of the University of Greenwich must meet statutory requirements. Of particular relevance is the Equality Act (2010), as well as the Human Rights Act (1998), the Data Protection Act (1998), and the requirement for Disclosure & Barring Service clearance for those working with children and provision within the existing legal framework for those working with vulnerable adults.
Researchers in particular disciplines should comply with any research ethics guidelines set out by their professional associations.
NHS National Research Ethics Service (NRES) review is required for most research involving NHS patients, staff or facilities, as well as certain other forms of clinical and social science research. Any applications of this type made through the Integrated Research Application System (IRAS) would not require approval from UREC. Evidence of approval from the relevant body is required to be provided to UREC.
Research Councils, charitable trusts and other research funding bodies in most cases require an undertaking from grant applicants that research proposals involving human participants have been approved by the University Research Ethics Committee or another appropriate body. Some also require audited compliance with their guidelines.

Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
There is no way he will leave the house. I set him up in a flat before and i had to end up paying for it and buying his food. We live in a small town where everyone knows everyone and I feel ashamed because of him and I try to keep him happy at all costs.
Years ago I threw him out (when his father was alive) and he went and slept in the back garden in a sleeping bag for days til i could not stand it anymore.

I read an article online about a public art project by American artist Candy Chang, that took place in Las Vegas. This art projected invited people to anonymously write a confession and then it would be displayed along with hundreds of others confessions on the Vegas strip. I read some of the confessions that were displayed and found some of them to be very similar to some things I myself, hold deep within me. This lead me to wonder how many other people hold these confessions deep within them and might never get to say them to someone or even out loud. It amazes me to think how many things we humans take to the grave. Would are lives be significantly different if we ever decided to make them public? If that is the case, many people will dye without knowing what could have been. This project made me realize how unhappy people can be sometimes but wont do anything about it because they fear retaliation or change. Maybe its time to stop this behavior and learn to be honest with ourselves and not be afraid to speak our fears or deep thoughts.

.300 Win Mag for Griz
Is a .300 Winchester Magnum a big enough gun for hunting large Grizzly Bear?

It depends. It's certainly enough if you get a nice broadside shot 75 yards away from an unsuspecting bear.
The problem is that if you are going to go into grizzly country and annoy big bears, you should be prepared to stop an unexpected charge by an angry bear. In that instance, I'd prefer something with a larger and heavier bullet, preferably in a caliber that started with a 4.
As always, you should carry the most powerful rifle that you can hit with.

Grizzly or Browns? Inland grizzly aren't all that big nor hard to kill. Their cousins living along the coast get much larger
But for either, properly loaded, your 300 is more than enough. Most Alaskan guides will tell their customers a 30-06 loaded with either 200-220 gr Nosler Partitions are all they need. Google Phil Shoemaker, one of Alaska's top Grizzly guides and read some of his recommendations. Here is a link to his website.
The Alaska Fish & Game did a study several years ago on which guns/loads they would recommend for stopping large bear attacks. Their results put the 375 mag in 1st place for those who could handle the recoil, but the 30-06 and 300 WM were in a very close 2nd place tie. They beat out rounds such as the 45-70, 444, and 350 mag. Guns larger than 375 generated much more recoil, with very little real gains in performance
The extra bullet speed of the 300 gives you a little more effective range over a 30-06, but up close it didn't offer any advantage over the same bullet a little slower. For that reason, along with the 30-06's lower recoil, and greater mag capacity they listed the 30-06, loaded heavy, as the prefered rifle for most people to stop a large bear attack.
Read the results here.

Back about the turn of the century (18-1900, not this one) one of the best back up guns of the time was the 30-40 Krag with its heavy 220 gr slug. It was quite effective.
The velocity of this bullet was about 2000 fps, but its design met penetration.
So I can't understand why a '06 which pushes the same bullet at 2400-2500 fps wont work,
as the OP ask, why wouldn't a 300 WM pushing the same bullet at 26-2700 work.
Sure the 375 H&H would work, but would it be better, I don't think so, simply because of the recoil people aren't going to practice with it enough to be able to shoot it properly.
Even the 300WM is gonna have a bit of recoil with this bullet,
The 06 is better, easier to shoot therefore I believe to be more effective. Also do to its less recoil, you'd have the ability for faster follow up shots.

I suspect a 35 Whelen with a decent 250-280 grain bullet would work just fine -- 'mo betta' than the ought six, perhaps.

No experience hunting griz, but our local high school is the Bears and we have two grizzlies mounted, one in the main lobby, another in the boy's gymnasium. According to the placards, both were taken on guided hunts with the .300 Win Mag. One's a coastal Alaskan bear, the other one was taken inland, and there is a noticeable difference in the size of the two animals.

If I were lucky enough to get to go Grizzly hunting I would have no problem using my 300 Winchester Mag. Using the proper bullets it is more than capable of handling any of the big bears with proper shot placement.

I would think a 220-250 grain .30 cal bullet at magnum velocities is enough to kill anything with a heart beat, assuming you choose bullet construction appropriately, for the type of game.

300 Win is perfect. Even the 30-06/270 is enough.

Should be just great. I would use the 200 grain Swift A-Frames or Nosler Partitions at 2850 to 2900 fps. Either one should break down the shoulders of even a large brownie.

"I suspect a 35 Whelen with a decent 250-280 grain bullet would work just fine -- 'mo betta' than the ought six, perhaps."
Sundog, I like the way you think. Think the 225 gr. Barnes TSX at 2600 to 2700 FPS depending on what the rifle likes and think dead bear. My .35 Whelen has a 24" barrel and will push the 225 gr. TSX at 2710 FPS. I've shot that bullet almost lengthwise through a cow elk at 150 yards aand I've never seen an animal go down so fast. Barnes does not make a 250 gr. TSX and frankly, I don't see the need. The rifle is a custom Mauser with a 1 in 14" twiste that I picked up at an estate sale. One of those deals where it was love at first sight and the love affair hasn't stopped yet.
I also have a Remington M700 Classic and Ruger M77RS in .35 Whelen so yoi know what I like.
I would not feel poorly armed in big bear country if all I had was a 30-06. Dunno what the standing is in the books on inland Grizzly Bears is today
but a fellow in Canada was crossing a gully on a log wearing a large back pack when grizzly Bear ecided it wanted to cross too. There was no way for the man to turn around risking a potentially fatal fall so he shot the bear with his M94 Winchester carbine 30-30 killing the bear. When the skull was measured, it tied the then current world record but B&C would not allow it because of the bullet hole in the skull. If truth be known, I wonder just how many of the great bears have been killed with firearms considered too puny to do the job? IIRC, "Old Ephraim", a cattle killing Griz was killed with a 25-35 Winchester. Yeah, I know. Not my choice as well.
It was mentioned that the 30-40 Krag with 220 gr. bullet at 2000 FPS was a good bear gun. I have loaded the .308 Win. to 2310 FPS with W760 and the 220 gr. Hornady round nose. I kept hearing thata the .308 didn't do well with the heavier bullets. So much for that old wive's tale. That's only 90 FPS slower than advertised velocity for the 30-06.
No matter what you're carrying, you still have to put that bullet in the right place.
If I were lucky enough to get a chance at one of the great bears,I'd probably leave the .375 H&H at home and take either the .35 Whelen or 30-06 depoending on which one was the lightest in weight, Recoil has nothing to do with it. I consider the kick of the .375 to be a firm push more than a sharp blow. I'm more concerned about the roughly two pound difference in weight.
My .375 weighs 9.5 pounds with scope, the .35 Whelen 7.5 pounds with scope and the 06 at 7.25 pounds with scope. Which one would you rather carry at the higher elevations?

It sure would be nice to hear from someone who has actual experience with shooting a brown bear with a 30-06. I have a friend who did and his experience wasn't pretty, but then that was only one case. The 300 mag is normally considered adequate for the big bears, but some personal experience would help.

Grandpa used a 220g round nose( He hated those new-fangled pointy bullets ) 2300 fps in his 95 win 30-03 for decades. 300 win will kill anything that walks the earth.
Personally I prefer black powder for most hunting. For bear I use either my .58 with 525g bullet at 1500 fps or my .62 with a 900g bullet at 1200 fps. Your 300 Win Mag should be leathal at twice the range of these guns. You'll do fine.
The number one cause of death in the 20th century. 290,000,000 citizens were first disarmed and then murdered by their own governments. This number does not include those killed in war.

Grizzly Weapon
My choice is and always will be the Win Mag .338. I've killed two moose and one large black bear. Some will say "Overkill". What the hell is over kill. Practice with it a good bit at the range, as, admittedly, the recoil is substantial, but it will take any thing on the N/A continent, and quite a few African large animals.

A 300wm will kill a Grizzly bear. So will a 3006, a 308, a 35 Whelan, a 9.3x62, etc. As always shot placement trumps caliber and cartridge.
I've taken two grizzlies with a 338wm. Both double lung shots. Both ran about 20 or 30 feet then dropped dead. Works fine but if all I had was a 3006 that shot well I would feel fine about it.

Whacked mine with a .30-06 and DLPd a bunch of others with the same rifle.
Just use a good bullet that won't come apart on you.

Squished bugs on a windshield is proof the slow/heavy bullet theory works.

Are you talking about hunting brown/grizzly or self-defense? I ask because, years ago, when I was stationed in Anchorage, AK and did a lot of fishing and Caribou hunting, a friend of mine was the Fish & Game guy responsible for following up on self-defense killings of bears. He told me that in a self-defense mode, he saw more one shot stops with 12 gauge slugs than any other caliber or weapon. That made sense to me because of the size of the slug, velocity, etc. As a result, whenever I was out fishing or back packing, I carried a pump shotgun with rifled slugs in it. When I went caribou hunting, I carried a .300 Win Mag, a bit big for Caribou but I felt comfortable with it in the event I needed to defend against a brownie. In addition, I really liked the .300 WM because of its flat trajectory and long range performance.

I have taken a few with the 300WM. I purchased a WBY MK V in 378 a few years ago and it worked well. Didnt seem to make much difference in harvest, but it sure made a lot of difference in my confidence.
A lot of bruins have been taken with the 06, but hey, I'm fond of cannons.
No such thing as a stupid question. What is stupid is not asking it.

IMHO the 300wm is big enough for anything the US bar none.
