Portable classrooms have become such a permanent part of the landscape at Bedichek Middle School that murals adorn the sides of them, including the face of the school's namesake.
Such temporary buildings, which house two classrooms each, line the properties of campuses throughout the Austin school district. With 16 portables, Bedichek has the second most.

View OffersProposition 2 totals $234 million for safety and security improvements, relief for overcrowding and new construction:
- $92.1 million to build three new elementary schools in undetermined locations. The original propositions contained four schools, but after an updated demographics report revealed less growth, a committee scaled the plan back to three.
- $12.15 million to purchase the land for the three new schools.
- $47.45 million on additional classrooms for Blazier, Cook, Doss, Perez and Pillow elementary schools and Burnet and Murchison middle schools.
- $23.5 million for safety and security improvements which includes replacing the district's radio system, security upgrades to portable classrooms, and replacing districtwide surveillance cameras. More than 100 schools, plus district headquarters and other buildings, also are getting security upgrades that include replacing intrusion and fire alarm systems.
- $15.4 million to fund additions to the Cook, Hill and Zilker elementary campuses. Cook will get a new gym and an expanded cafeteria. Hill will get an addition that includes three classrooms and restrooms, a new gym and an expanded cafeteria. Zilker Elementary will get a new gym, a music room and a multipurpose room.
- $15.3 million for additions to bring nine schools up to par with other campuses in the district. Gullet and Pillow elementaries will get expansions to administrative offices. Sims and St. Elmo elementaries will get expanded gyms. Highland Park Elementary will get an expanded gym and new bathrooms. Barrington Elementary will get a new gym and cafeteria renovation. Wooten Elementary will get expanded administrative offices and new gym storage. Cunningham Elementary will get an expansion of its administrative offices and health services. Govalle will get expanded administrative offices, as well as a new multipurpose gym addition.
- $11 million to expand and replace a gym at Anderson High School, which administrators say has the smallest seating of all the district's 4-A and 5-A high schools.
- $8 million to design and plan for a proposed high school in South Austin. In a 2008 bond package, voters approved purchasing the land for the school, but the land still has not been purchased.
- $7.6 million to build a 500-seat performing arts center at Ann Richards School for Young Women Leaders.
- $1.5 million for a fine arts addition and renovations at Lamar Middle School.

The Disappointing New Cement Standards
January 14, 2013 | Filled under Oklahoma, Politics, Pollution |
If you have been reading my blog for very long you likely know I live in a town with cement plant. The cement plant in my town is a High Priority Violator of the Clean Air Act. Knowing that I'm pretty much being poisoned by them really upsets me. I have asthma and I'm at more of a risk of being harmed by the pollution. After a long wait the EPA has finally released the new cement standards, sadly they have been weakened and I fear they won't do much to help my town.
Today over on Moms Clean Air Force I talked about the new standards and my fears that the new standards and solid waste definitions that will also possibly hurt towns like mine. I'm also very fearful because I feel like something is up with my local cement plant, this past summer they sent out this little flyer thing talking about how great they are. They had never done something like this before and it had to cost a lot to mail these out, so I fear they are up to something. In talking to some other activists involved in cement, many believe they would be wanted to burn trash or other solid waste, they already burn tires. While that worries me, it would be better than hazardous waste, which they tried to burn many years ago but the city fought them on it.
It's really upsetting that the cement industry continues to place profit over lives. Be sure to check out my post on Moms Clean Air Force and read up on what is happening with the cement industry and the EPA.
2 Responses to The Disappointing New Cement Standards
Uggg….The whole corporate power in government sickens me. In my community, we are battling those who feel a uranium mine would be a great way to improve the local economy. Some of the proponents are supposedly "farmers" and they emphasize it. My research has shown that they are mainly retired tobacco farmers – in fact one sold his farm last month! And I suspect they're investors in the mining company. Plus they're trying to limit mining activities to our county only, so that the rest of the state will be on their side. Those of us who are trying to make a living farming are going to be severely hurt, especially those of us who promote organic produce. And the mine site? Less than 10 miles from us. I'm so sorry to hear about what is going on in your community. Corporate greed is just…evil. (Rant over. :))

Emerging Market Bond Spreads and Sovereign Credit Ratings: Reconciling Market Views with Economic Fundamentals
This paper uses a panel data estimation of a simple univariate model of sovereign spreads on ratings to analyze statistically significant deviations from the estimated relationship. We find evidence of an asymmetric adjustment of spreads and ratings when such deviations are significant. In addition, the paper illustrates how significant disagreements between market and rating agencies' views can be used as a signal that further technical and sovereign analysis is warranted. For instance, we find that spreads were "excessively low" for most emerging markets before the Asian crisis. More recently, spreads were "excessively high" for a number of emerging markets.Download Info

Naturally, he wouldn't share his exact words with the press. Here's what he told us, which is likely a very watered down version of what he told his players: "They came at us hard," Vigneault said of the Kings. "We told ... Read More …

The decision of Victoria school trustees Monday to refuse a 10-per-cent pay hike was a no-brainer, given the difficult contract talks underway with teachers.
A board policy requires a review of trustees' pay every three years, with comparisons to five similar districts, says a story in the Victoria Times Colonist. Based on that review, annual pay would have increased to $19,270 from $17,424.
Vice-chairwoman Bev Horsman argued against the pay hike, noting the net-zero mandate ... Read More …

Have sent a review about londonmagicstore about thre weeks ago, expresed tht Iwas not satisfied with the product supplied. Londonmacicstore promised to replace the poor quality product with another product of my choice. It appears that their promises are worthless as Ihave not recieved a replacement product despite sending them many emails. I would not recomend dealing with store as they do not keep their promises.
Purchased a red cover for a nokia phone, very easy to break during assembly,fits perfectly when assembled but does not last at all,poor quality, would not advise anybody to buy one

The shoulder is a very complex muscle system. If you have been working out and hear a popping sound or feel a sudden, sharp pain in the shoulder, you may have an injury that you should treat with care.
These symptoms could indicate that you have a tear in the rotator cuff or tendonitis. The shoulder is made up of three bones and four muscles, along with the tendons. These bones are the scapula (blade), humerus (upper arm) and clavicle (collar bone). Injuries can be caused by two major factors; normal wear and tear or excessive force. The rotator cuff naturally receives very little oxygen and nutrients from blood and thereby is more difficult to heal. The application of heat can be very good for improving blood flow to an injured shoulder. Massage is also effective, as it not only improve the supply of blood to the area but also reduces the amount of scar tissue and injury can cause. It is imperative that you keep the area active with gentle movement to improve blood supply. Never immobilize the area due to pain; keep it moving with care. To avoid injury, always warm up the muscle group you are going to work on. Stretching and strengthening are the best defense to keeping a healthy shoulder. To warm up, stand up straight and grasp your hands behind your back. With straight arms, slowly lift your hands upward and hold. Repeat a few times. There are a number of points of caution to avoid a shoulder injury when doing some common exercises. Bench press • Do not use too wide a grip. • Do not touch the bar to a point too high up on your chest. Dips • If you have a shoulder injury, don't do dips. • If you have gained a lot of weight and do not feel comfortable, don't dip or do try an assisted dip. It is far more difficult to keep on your fat-burning plan with an injury. Make sure to always stretch your muscles properly before working out.

Dementia, a loss of cognitive functioning that interferes with independent living, has many possible causes. Two new publications from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) explore the topic:

LBD is of increasing interest to the Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease research communities. It represents an important link between these other brain disorders, and research into one disease often contributes to better understanding of the others. However, there is a great deal to learn about LBD. At a basic level, why does alpha-synuclein accumulate into Lewy bodies, and how do Lewy bodies cause the symptoms of LBD?
As someone who is caring for a person with LBD, you will take on many different responsibilities over time. You do not have to face these responsibilities alone. Many sources of help are available, from adult day centers and respite care to online and in-person support groups.
Below are some important actions you can take to adjust to your new roles, be realistic about your situation, and care for yourself. See the "Resources" section for more information.
Coping with a diagnosis of LBD and all that follows can be challenging. Getting support from family, friends, and professionals is critical to ensuring the best possible quality of life. Creating a safe environment and preparing for the future are important, too. Take time to focus on your strengths, enjoy each day, and make the most of your time with family and friends. Here are some ways to live with LBD day to day.
While LBD currently cannot be prevented or cured, some symptoms may respond to treatment for a period of time. A comprehensive treatment plan may involve medications, physical and other types of therapy, and counseling. Changes to make the home safer, equipment to make everyday tasks easier, and social support are also very important.
A skilled care team often can provide suggestions to help improve quality of life for both people with LBD and their caregivers.
It's important to know which type of LBD a person has, both to tailor treatment to particular symptoms and to understand how the disease will likely progress. Clinicians and researchers use the "1-year rule" to diagnose which form of LBD a person has. If cognitive symptoms appear within a year of movement problems, the diagnosis is dementia with Lewy bodies.
People with LBD may not have every LBD symptom, and the severity of symptoms can vary greatly from person to person. Throughout the course of the disease, any sudden, major change in functional ability or behavior should be reported to a doctor.
The most common symptoms include changes in cognition, movement, sleep, and behavior.
LBD causes changes in thinking abilities. These changes may include:
The precise cause of LBD is unknown, but scientists are learning more about its biology and genetics. For example, they know that an accumulation of Lewy bodies is associated with a loss of certain neurons in the brain that produce two important neurotransmitters, chemicals that act as messengers between brain cells. One of these messengers, acetylcholine, is important for memory and learning.

The local sheriff (Bruce Dern) tells him about a mysterious massacre in the town's history, and suggest that the two of them write a book about it. While at first Hall blows off the suggestion, he has a series of disturbing dreams -- often involving Edgar Allan Poe (Ben Chaplin) -- about the town and its history that prompt him to dig further into the truth. Co-starring Elle Fanning, Twixt screened at the 2011 Toronto International Film Festival.

We are rather new at Revit and the lic manager. I am having the same troubles as listed above. Is this still an ongoing problem?
We are running LMTOOLS Ver. 188.8.131.52 Build 73797 i86 _n3
Because we have a very stingy IS dept I do not have access to the server that the lic man resides on. About once a month I have to call IS to have them do a Stop and Start on the manager. Is there a way I can avoid this?
You can access your NLM remotely thru a local LMTOOLS on your workstation by choosing configure with license file and placing 27000@SERVERNAME in the box. Servername is the hostname of your server. That will allow you to remotely administer the server.

Are you compromising?
Are you compromising?
Joshua 15:1-63
Compromising God's WORD. They did it then and we do it today. And it's the reason they had problems.
And why we do too.
The army of Judah was not able to force out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, so the Jebusites still live among the people of Judah to this day. (Joshua 15:63 NCV)
God never said
"sort of...kind of -drive out the people. He said "get them out! "
A little bacteria can kill you.
A little sin can spread.
A little bitterness can turn to hate.
A little flirting can turn into a full blown affair.
God doesn't tell us to do things we cannot do. If the army of Judah failed to drive out the Jebusites, it wasn't because they couldn't.
The tribe of Judah got the land God had promised them. Each family group got part of the land. (Joshua 15:20 NCV)
It was theirs for the taking! God had already designated it to go to them!
Could it be that they weren't determined? Why would they lose their determination to drive these people out?
Possibly they became friendly with the enemy, and so they allowed them
to live among them.
We do that! We becomes friends with 'the enemy' thinking there's no harm in friendliness.
Soon we're sleeping with the enemy.
Before we know it our friendship with the enemy has turned into a dictatorship. We become slaves of the enemy, and the friendship turns sour. He has us in a stronghold. We are trapped! And, we never saw it coming!
I would guess that you will see problems arise in the chapters ahead with the Jebusites. The Bible is not telling us this for nothing! The Bible is telling us this to warn us what NOT to do, and what TO do!
Don't give up on what God has asked you to do!
Even if it seems too hard,
or harmless enough to just let it go!
Don't compromise His Word to you!
His Word is His WORD!

That's a lot of energy!
Oscar nominee Melissa McCarthy is quickly becoming an A-lister, but that doesn't mean she didn't completely freak out chatting with Hollywood's most famous couple and its most celebrated actress.
PHOTOS: Brangelina's surprise BFFs!
On Thursday's episode of "Ellen," the "Bridesmaids" actress, 41, recounted to Ellen DeGeneres and Jimmy Kimmel what it was like chatting (alongside husband and "Bridesmaids" co-star Ben Falcone) with superstars at the Golden Globes two weekends ago.
"So, I'm already in some weird altered state talking to Brad and Angelina. They're so nice and chatty and really bubbly," McCarthy said of hobnobbing with Pitt, 48, and Jolie, 36.
PHOTOS: What Melissa, Brangelina and all the stars wore at the Globes
"Finally, I got a little weird and I was like, 'You have to stop for a minute because it's a lot visually to take in.' I said that to them. They just kind of laughed. I said, 'No, really.' It is a lot visually to take in. She's, like, weirdly glowing. She's so beautiful. He's kind of cute, too. And then I was like, 'OK. I'm sorry. I needed to, like, regroup' because they're kind of a lot."
PHOTOS: Melissa and other stars who broke out in 2011
McCarthy's starstruck moment didn't end there -- because Meryl Streep then introduced herself to the foursome!
"Literally like my brain snapped in two," McCarthy said of meeting the legendary actress. "And then I really didn't know what to say. I just kept going, 'Oh, my God. You're Meryl Streep.' And she was chatting like a normal human being. And I said, 'Oh my God. I'm sorry. I thought over the years so many things if I ever got to meet you what I would say. This is not it.' And, she goes 'Oh my God. Don't even worry about it.'"
Added the Best Supporting Actress nominee: "For some reason I felt I needed to bookend it with and repeat. 'Oh my God. You're Meryl Streep!'"

Great Reference for MS Project Users
By JudyM
from Massachusetts
About Me Business Leader
Best Uses
Comments about Microsoft Press Microsoft® Project 2010 Inside Out:
This book provides a great foundation for using MS Project, from basics of starting the structure of a project, up through assigning resources and tracking costs and schedules. The format is easy to follow, the chapters are logical and build on concepts as the book proceeds. I like the Notes and Troubleshooting elements which provide very specific use model scenarios and tips that compliment the key topic being covered in the chapter. It also includes how to integrate other Microsoft products in conjunction with Project to leverage their value, like Excel, SharePoint and Project Server. Allowing you to have both Hardcopy and Softcopy versions of the book is a great value add.

Good facilitator for Project 2010
By Arnošt
from Plzeň, Czech republic
This book is your comprehensive Project 2010 reference, in which you can learn not only the essentials, but also the intermediate topics and advanced techniques for using Project 2010 like a power user.Project 2010 is a specialized database that stores and presents thousands of pieces of data related to your project. Examples of such data include tasks, durations, links, resource names, calendars, assignments, costs, deadlines, and milestones. These pieces of information interrelate and affect each other in a multitude of ways. Underlying this project database is the scheduling engine, which crunches the raw project data you enter and presents the calculated results to you. Project 2010 represents a dramatic step forward in the product's evolution. The way projects are scheduled has made a sizable shift, and in some cases this new approach is much more than just a departure, because it contradicts the way project managers have used previous versions of Microsoft Project. Many new features provide more flexibility and user control, but with that flexibility is needed knowledge of consequences in various aspects throughout the project life cycle.This book is designed for intermediate to advanced computer users who manage projects. Depending on where you are on the spectrum of project management experience, this book can help you in the following ways:- If you are completely new to project management and Project 2010, this book will give you a solid grounding in the use of Project 2010 as well as basic project management practices and methodologies. It will help you understand the phases of project management, including the controlling factors in the project life cycle.- If you're an experienced project manager, this book integrates common project management practices with the use of the software tool.- If you're already an experienced Microsoft Project user, this book will help you better understand the inner workings of Project 2010 so that you can use it more effectively to do what you need it to do.This book also extensively covers the striking new features in Project 2010 and provides the necessary guidance and "gotchas" regarding whether, when, and how to use those features.The content of the book is devide in 9 parts:Part 1: Project FundamentalsPart 2: Developing the Project PlanPart 3: Tracking ProgressPart 4: Reporting and Analyzing Project InformationPart 5: Managing Multiple ProjectsPart 6: Integrating Project 2010 with Other ProgramsPart 7: Managing Projects Across Your EnterprisePart 8: Customizing and Managing Project FilesPart 9: AppendixesFirst part of the book contains an overview of project management processes and how Project 2010 facilitates those processes. You also find a discussion of the various kinds of people involved in your project, as well as some keys to successful project management.Part two contains everything you need to know about starting a new project and creating a new project plan. You get details about working with the Project 2010 workspace, scheduling tasks, setting up resources and assigning them to tasks, establishing costs, and adjusting the project plan to be an accurate model of your project's reality.Part 3 provides details about setting and working with baselines so that you can track and compare your progress toward deadlines. It covers important aspects of updating and tracking costs as well as adjusting the schedule, resource workload, and costs to reflect ongoing changes in your project.Part 4 describes wide range of options for setting up and printing views and reports.From simply printing your current view to generating a built-in report to designing and running your own custom report. This part also describes how you can export data to Microsoft Excel or Microsoft Visio to generate visual reports for analysis, as well as how you can use earned value data to analyze progress and costs.Part 5 explains the concepts and practices of master projects, subprojects, and resource pools. It also explains how you can exchange information between different project plans; copy or link information; and leverage customized views, reports, groups, and other Project 2010 elements you might have created.Part 6 describes in detail how to work seamlessly with other programs - Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Outlook, and Microsoft SharePoint.In part 7, you learn how to set up and use the enterprise features to standardize and customize Project 2010 and project management processes throughout your organization. Project managers and resource managers can assign tasks, obtain task progress updates, and receive status reports from team members..Part 8 covers the details of custom elements – view, tble, groups, reports, forulas, macros etc.. This part also discusses methods for closing a project at the end of its life cycle and continuing to use what you learn by creating templates that can become the basis for the next project of its kind. Along these lines, this part details project file-management issues, including file locations, backups, and multiple versions.Part 9 - Appendixes - includes ancillary information you'll find useful in your work with Project 2010: installation guidelines and a list of online resources to expand your knowledge of Project 2010 and project management and a handy keyboard shortcut reference.The companion content for this book includes sample files that you can use as the basis for practicing Project 2010 techniques throughout this book.This book is designed so that you can quickly find the answers you need at the time you have the question. Excellent place to start finding your solution is in one of the two indexes at the end of the book. Use the special Troubleshooting index to solve specific problems. Regardless of your previous experience, this book serves as a facilitator in helping you work with Project 2010 for your project's processes and phases. Doc. Arnost Katolicky - 13.6.2011.

Press UP,UP,DOWN,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT,LEFT ON THE D-PAD. Then press L3 and hold while pressing up and then right. This will restore full health and full time dilation. The code is good for 30 seconds and can be repeated as much as necessary.
If you take and hits while performing the code your life will still continue to decrease. If your life is really low and you don't perform the code fast enough you will still die. Fortunately you will return to the same level, but you will have to start at the beginning.

This recipe was adapted from Sugar and Spice, which was adapted from Cooking Light December 2007. The only change I made was to incorporate Nourishing Traditions-style soaked grains. Thank you Stephanie for passing this along. It's our favorite crust ever!
YIELD: 3-4 Servings
PREP: 15 mins
COOK: 20 mins
READY IN: 24 hrs 35 mins
This recipe was adapted from Sugar and Spice, which was adapted from Cooking Light December 2007. The only change I made was to …
- 3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tbsp whey, lemon juice, or apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp raw honey
- 4 1/2 tsp instant yeast (or activated yeast)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 4 tsp yellow cornmeal
- On the night before you want to serve pizza, combine the warm water, lemon juice/whey, and whole wheat flour. Cover and leave on counter for 12-24 hours.
- Next day, add raw honey, instant yeast, and sea salt.
- Knead on a well-floured surface for 10 min, adding flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to hands. Lightly cover with oil and place in a warm area for 1 hr to rise (an oven heated to 150-170 and then turned off is perfect).
- Once the dough has risen, remove from oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Punch dough down; cover and let rest 5 minutes.
- Separate into two balls. Roll first ball of dough into a 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Place dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Repeat process with second half of dough.
- Drizzle dough with a little olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
- Place pan on lowest oven rack; bake at 450 for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven; top with desired toppings and bake an additional 10 minutes or until crust and cheese is lightly browned.
CUISINE: Italian
COURSE: Entrée
SKILL LEVEL: Beginner

The crew at Razor Fitness strives to give members the resources of a large-scale gym while maintaining the welcoming, no-waiting atmosphere of a boutique gym. The 22,000-square-foot facility houses more than 200 cardio machines, weight machines, and free-weight stations, as well as a studio outfitted with heavy bags, step platforms, and mats for wrestling bears. Beyond the open gym, the staff guides guests to an array of physique-enhancing services, including personal training, an infrared sauna and tanning, and nutrition counselling. Damsels who join Razor Fitness's member ranks also receive access to the Planet Woman Fitness facility. To fortify clients' fitness efforts, Razor's team also dispenses energy drinks, protein bars, and workout smoothies.
British Columbia local and Lakers player Steve Nash created his fleet of namesake Fitness World & Sports Clubs to honour the tenets of healthy living. The classes at both Fitness World and Sports Club locations are taught by engaging instructors who impart students with methods for getting fit that don't involve traditional livestock lifting. Group fitness trainers lead exercisers through Bball Blast's stability-ball training, ICE indoor-cycling intensives, and Cardio Core's combinations of step, cardio kickboxing, and abdominal exercises. The Nash Smash class uses full-body metabolic training to sternly badger moping muscles into action, and Women on Weights builds toned musculature by pitting females against leaden opponents. Personal training sessions fit workouts for each client, tailoring them to individual's goals and personal theme song.
The amenities at each club differ—the Burnaby location boasts a swimming pool and spacious whirlpool. The staff strives to create a healthy environment for members and the earth alike, with floors made from sustainable bamboo and locker panels build with recycled car tires.
Named one of Parents magazine's Top 10 Birthday Chains, Color Me Mine's international franchise of DIY ceramics studios cater to an older crowd as well. Hundreds of unadorned ceramic pieces—including vases, flatware, and busts of Elvis—await the attentions of muses of kids and their keepers alike, as do glazes in earthy tones and bright crimsons to frighten bulls away from china cabinets. Guests follow simple step-by-step instructions that leave plenty of room for creative expression. When painters are satisfied with their work, the professional kiln workers help glaze, fire, and de-genie it for them, and they may retrieve the finished piece after a few days.
An associate of the Royal Conservatory of Toronto, Victoria Warfield has dedicated her life to music. Experienced in performing as a concert pianist and directing choirs, Victoria also offers private lessons that tutor music-makers as young as 3 years old in specialized Parent & Tot sessions. Older students can tailor their efforts toward the Royal Conservatory of Toronto examinations or veer into pop or jazz styles. Adult lessons shake off rust from years of neglect or fruitless attempts of practicing the flute on a hollow churro to give students a new artistic outlet during classes that focus on music appreciation.
Open 24 hours a day, the facilities at Sport Central come stacked with modern fitness equipment, squash courts, and instructors. Guests who opt for a two-month membership get 24-hour access to a 45,000 square foot gym full of body-toning cadre of cardio and strength-training equipment such as elliptical trainers, treadmills, bikes, steppers, and rowers. The membership also comes with 12 tanning sessions, which can aid iron-pumpers in looking more like a golden Atlas than a pallid one. The centre also boasts two steam rooms, a women's only area, and a children's centre where tykes can play under supervision while parents get fit.
Cadenza Music offers a massive selection of books and resources for beginner and advanced musicians. Students looking to enhance their repertoire can find solace in private and group lessons in piano, voice, harmony, and rudiments. Books and materials divulge information on violin techniques, guitar methods, and ukuleles, alongside CDs and reference books.

How a tried and true roofing system remains a top contender
By Richard L. Fricklas
The basic aggregate surfacing for asphalt roofs has evolved to include smooth-surfaced systems such as this one. A field-applied coating completes the process.
Opting for asphalt roofing? You can have it delivered in a carton and melt it at the job site or order it as a hot melt liquid shipped in a tank truck.
Mastics for flashing or cold-applied membranes are created by combining asphalt with mineral spirits.
With the growth of single ply, sprayed-in-place polyurethane foam, metal, and modified bituminous systems for low slope commercial roofing, why should we be interested in asphalt at all?
How Asphalt Works Asphalt is a dark-brown to black cementitious material created from bitumens that occur in nature or from petroleum processing. It's used in roofing, waterproofing, and paving as both a waterproofer and a construction adhesive.
Multiple-ply hot built-up roofing (BUR) has been around for more than a century. A typical construction used a factory-coated base sheet that was mechanically fastened to the substrate, followed by two or three ply sheets that were embedded in hot asphalt and a flood coat of hot bitumen into which aggregate surfacing was embedded. The ply sheets could be asphalt-saturated organic felt, asbestos felt, or more recently, glass fiber mats.
Because of the aggregate surfacing, these roof systems generally qualified for Class A fire resistance. Variations of these basic systems include factory-applied mineral surfacing (cap sheets) and smooth-surfaced systems that received a field-applied coating as a final step.
Asphalt serves as a hot-melt adhesive, gluing the ply sheets to the substrate as well as to each other. It can be melted in a kettle at the job site or delivered as a hot melt liquid by tank truck.
Since most asphalt starts out as a byproduct of petroleum processing, it is fully compatible with mineral spirits (which are also a byproduct of petroleum) to make cold mastics for flashing or cold-applied membrane systems. Asphalt can also be emulsified as a water dispersion for surfacing BUR systems.
Where Can I Use Asphalt? Asphalt is used in all our modified bituminous (MB) roof systems as a waterproofing coating for the reinforcements and also serves as the adhesive to bond the systems to the substrate. MB systems can use field-applied hot asphalt or utilize a torch to soften and fuse the sheets together. The modifiers can be classified as plastic-modified (atactic polypropylene) or elastomer-modified (sequenced butadiene-styrene or SBS).
More recently, many single-ply systems now offer fleece-backed products that can be embedded in hot asphalt, such as in re-cover applications over old BUR. Even tile roofs frequently use bituminous cap sheets or multiple layers of BUR as an underlay for the tile.
Asphalt should be applied when it is heated to a recommended application temperature. For asphalt, these temperatures apply:
For mop application: the temperature at which the asphalt's apparent viscosity (equiviscous temperature, or EVT) is 125 cP, plus or minus 25 degrees F.
For mechanical spreader: the temperature at which the asphalt's apparent viscosity is 75 cP, plus or minus 25 degrees F.

American Public Health Association (APHA)
138th Annual Meeting and Exposition
6–10 November 2010
"Gender in family planning communication: Preliminary results from an intervention study in Tanzania"
Elisabeth Ann Rottach, Sidney Ruth Schuler, Jane Alaii, and James Foreit
It is often hypothesized that transforming gender norms will lead to desired public health and social outcomes for both men and women. Documented attempts to accomplish this have been small and feature interventions too expensive to scale up on a national level, raising questions about the feasibility of improving public health and family planning in the developing world. Therefore, there is a need to test an affordable intervention with the potential of making a public health impact. A study to test the effectiveness of radio programming addressing gender norms in support of a community-based distribution of contraceptives program is under way in Tanzania. The study uses a Latin Square design with pre-, post-, and midline surveys and service statistics. Community-based distributors were trained to address gender norms that constrain the use of contraceptives in talking with clients in the "gender sites." The effects of the gender-sensitive family planning communication strategy will be compared with that of the generic strategy. This paper will present preliminary findings on the effects of the two strategies on knowledge, attitudes, and distribution of contraceptives and other products, as well as gender-equitable attitudes and behaviors among men and women.
Learning areas
- Conduct evaluation related to programs, research, and other areas of practice
- Public health or related research
- Social and behavioral sciences
Learning objectives
- Describe an approach for making a family planning communication intervention gender focused and discuss barriers to doing so
- Identify a research design and measurement tools that can be used to evaluate the impact of gender-focused communication strategies
- Determine whether "gender" messages are more effective than "generic" messages in promoting family planning

Cyclists being ticketed at Packard's corner. Victim blaming at it's worst. (self.bikeboston)
submitted 1 year ago by uncanny_valley_girl
Last week a cyclist was allegedly struck and killed by an MBTA bus in Allston. MBTA driver claims he 'didn't see' the cyclist. Public asks 'was he wearing a helmet'? Allston PD responds by ticketing local cyclists.
I ride through this intersection every day. Almost every single day I see an MBTA bus run the red here. Absolutely every single day, I see the 66 bus either park in the middle of the street to let off passengers or make a sharp turn without warning to get into the bus stop. And yet, when I call the BPD about MBTA traffic abuse, up to and including being hit by a bus, they say 'What do you want us to do about it? We have no jurisdiction."
[–]kgmoome 3 points4 points5 points 1 year ago
You didn't use the word allegedly properly.
[–]rafuzo2 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Nor did uncanny_valley_girl do any research.
Public asks 'was he wearing a helmet'? Allston PD responds by ticketing local cyclists.
If they're ticketing, it's because the cyclists are ignoring posted traffic signage, their responsibility for using a bike on a public way (MGL ch. 85, sec 11B), not because they aren't wearing a helmet, unless the cyclist is under 16. (MGL ch. 85 sec. 11B.5) It's also worth noting that all revenue collected from traffic citations to cyclists is required to go to bicycle safety programs in the municipality (MGL ch. 85 sec. 11E)
And yet, when I call the BPD about MBTA traffic abuse, up to and including being hit by a bus, they say 'What do you want us to do about it? We have no jurisdiction."
Police departments everywhere get phone calls all day about people littering because they miss a garbage barrel, cursing on a public street in front of a child, or yes double parking, running a red light or stopping in front of a handicapped ramp. Anyone who thinks the police have the resources to drop everything at once to run and catch someone doing these things instantaneously is being a pedantic, petulant a-hole.
Part of the reason we have traffic laws is for safety of operators and bystanders. Part of riding a bike on a public way means you get the same rights and responsibilities. No cyclist in the world would complain when cops sit out and wait for scofflaw drivers running red lights (as they have been doing at Mass Ave and Boylston for the past two weeks during rush hour); it's only right that cyclists adhere to the same rules.
[–]uncanny_valley_girl[S] -4 points-3 points-2 points 1 year ago
So the police don't have time to respond to a hit and run by a bus, but they have time to spend all day drinking coffee by the side of the road, handing out $20 tickets to cyclists who are crossing the intersection on the walk sign, because it's safer? What complete bullshit.
[–]rafuzo2 4 points5 points6 points 1 year ago
If you think it's bullshit that having the same rights as cars means the same responsibilities, I recommend you don't ride anywhere that this is law, like Massachusetts. I am a cyclist and a driver, and I've seen plenty of "complete bullshit" by both types of operators. It should all stop.
[–]sparr 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
We don't have the same rights as cars. I can't take up a full parking space. I can't ride on the interstate or some state highways. I can't choose to drive without a helmet.
If you want to argue that cars and bicycles should be operated the same way, don't forget that skateboards and wheelchairs are vehicles too!
[–]rafuzo2 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
This is a pretty asinine comment. We can argue all day about what constitutes a "vehicle", but the Massachusetts General Court has already established what it thinks about bikes and cars. Read the law.
Be sure to let me know if your logic gets you out of a traffic violation incurred while riding your bike.
Go up a level and back a section or two, you'll find definitions. Those laws include things like razor scooters and skateboards and wheelchairs (both manual and electric) in the definition of vehicles. There are a half dozen people who ride down Arsenal St in Watertown on electric wheelchairs every day. It's unsafe as hell for them and for cars and bicycles that have to pass them, but they could get tickets if they were on the sidewalk.
Sometimes it's not about what the law is, but what it should be, and what's best/safest/right regardless of the law. I will continue crossing with the walk signal, and paying the $20 fine when a cop decides to be an asshole about it, because it means cutting my car-collision risk in half.
[–]rafuzo2 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
It's certainly fine to have a discussion about the law and how it could be better, but just like ignorance of it, it's not an excuse. Personally I find the MGL implementation to be better than some other states because the definitions provide as airtight a liability defense as you can get (meaning if you get hit by a car, the car's insurer can't claim you were operating unsafely/recklessly and thus the driver is not fault).
But being a pedestrian and a car driver almost as much as a cyclist, I see a lot of cyclists doing asinine things that make us all look bad, and the law helps protect the sane cyclists out there from these morons that make the rest of us look bad.
[–]uncanny_valley_girl[S] -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
What do you think is more important; giving a $20 ticket to a cyclist that rode through an intersection during a walk signal, or responding to a 911 call of a hit-and-run?
Get your priorities straight.

[–]uncanny_valley_girl[S] -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
As long as bikers yield to peds, I don't see the problem either.
[–]rafuzo2 -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
Also, in the headline, the proper usage is "its", as in the possessive, not "it's", as in "it is". While we're being pedantic.
[–]kgmoome -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
The guy was actually struck and killed, it wasn't alleged becasue it actually happened.
[–]sparr -1 points0 points1 point 1 year ago
You're alleging that it actually happened.
"Alleged" is code for "Someone else said this and I'm repeating it without checking the facts", or, more importantly "you can't blame me if this is inaccurate".

He was allegedly hit by the bus. We don't know for certain that the bus was the culprit.
[–]Fidditch -2 points-1 points0 points 1 year ago
Well, I'm going to venture a guess, that if the cyclist failed to notice a MBTA bus... Kids' don't drink and ride. That bus won't notice running you over more than it did the potholes.
Bikers need to respect traffic laws in the city. It's different in suburbs. But in boston on a friday? That's the worst day for traffic and drivers are not on their game.
As for the tickets? Yeah cyclists need to respect traffic laws and around Boston It's just (un)common sense.
[–]uncanny_valley_girl[S] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I never disputed your points, my issue is that the bus driver is not getting cited or in any way held responsible for the death of this kid, and for some reason cyclists who have no responsibility at all for the death are getting ticketed. In fact, I believe the last three times death occurred due to a cyclist-bus collision, the driver was not cited. Does that make any sense at all to you? Why are they ticketing the victims and not the drivers? And don't tell me that these incidents were without doubt the cyclist's fault. I'm out there every day riding with MBTA buses, and I know for stone cold sure that they drive negligently and run every third red light they come to.
[–]Fidditch 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
I concede that in a better world the driver(s) would and indeed should be held liable to some extent.
But there aren't citations for vehicular homicide, pretty sure that one is arrest. I do guarantee the driver is up for a review, some leave time, and a psych eval. Perhaps some legal trouble when the investigation is over
I don't agree with it. But much like the war, and wal-mart, I can't afford to right all the wrongs I see in our world as an individual. So though I don't agree with the state of affairs I observe them, and alter my expectations to that.
I know employees at the mbta, and the stories they tell about injustices regarding horrific fatalities seem all too common. If yer dead, the union/company will lie through their teeth to cover their under-qualified, incompetent, crony, asses to keep off any bad press. If it's an injury on the other hand, and they were in the wrong, expect to be paid through college.
Unfortunately there is a problem of information on this accident that does distress me. The relative trajectories, speeds and point of impact, along with light cycles. This puts us entirely in the dark about what actually happened. Did the driver break at all or was he oblivious? did the biker drift into his blind spot, was he in a crosswalk, was he t-boned?... These things we don't know, and there appears to be no reported account of the incident besides the police saying "he may not have been wearing a helmet" which wouldn't fucking save anyone from being run over by a bus anyway. and then a bunch of quotes reiterating that "its a known dangerous intersection". and this... "Joe Pesaturo, MBTA spokesman said, "the bus is not equipped with a camera." That's bullshit, there isn't a bus in service that isn't equipped with at least one camera for liability reasons.
That bikers are being ticketed, is laughably demonstrative of how fucked the values of our legal system are. Their public position of the BPD is clear, that someone higher up said something along the lines of: We need to stop this from happening. I want to see some bike citations written up by the end of the week to show we're doing something about this. Which is easier for them to do than say, going up against the MBTA. Another state funded, incompetent, corrupted-union, bureaucracy. Lets say it's a conflict of interest.
I don't like it, but that's how it is. So all we can do, is keep our heads down and watch our asses. And make sure that anyone who is new to city riding, or biking in general knows the difference between riders and drivers. and if it's not evident, to treat the drivers on the road like drunks or children.
So you're ok with doing nothing but keeping our heads down and watching our asses? Well, that's a shame. I'm not.
I've gone on the news to describe what happened to me. I've 'written to the top' more times than I could possibly count. I call in to report EVERY infraction of the rules that I witness. I keep my eye out for people in danger.
I call in to report every double parked vehicle. I lecture every person I can catch who I see texting and driving. WHY DON'T WE ALL DO THIS? I don't understand how people can watch this happen and simply do nothing! It makes me loathe cyclists as much as I loathe the MBTA - especially those uppity, spandex wearing club members who are so vocal about 'infrastructure' but never want to lobby against the practices of the MBTA or the position cops hold regarding cyclists.
I'm fucking disgusted by you all. It's a shitty place to be, but I wouldn't be anywhere else.
[–]Fidditch 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago*
By keeping our heads down I mean: keep out of trouble; it's a good idea to be extra cautious about abiding traffic laws near cops. That's simply a reasonable and moreover the lawful thing to do.
I'm not here to pick a fight. All of your suggestions going to the news, writing to the top, calling in, and lecturing bad drivers is good, but that last bit you mention is the best. That bit about lobbying... do tell.
Not to put you on the spot, but if you don't push that forward you're just as bad as those uppity, spandex wearing clubbers that you loathe. I'm asking because I'm interested and know nothing about that process.
It's really not rocket science - you support those in government who support a change to transportation infrastructure, in particular bikes. It's an uphill battle, because big money doesn't give a fuck about bikes, and big money gets people into office.

Crosstalk Home
Show Information
Air Date: March 16, 2012
Host: Vic Eliason
Listen: MP3 | Real Audio | Windows Media| Order CD
Vic reported on the response from the previous program, which dealt with a blasphemous "entertainment" program which began to be broadcast recently on the ABC television network in the United States, also distributed to television outlets in other countries.
The program was originally titled "Good Christian Bitches", now just "GSB", depicts Christians as being grossly immoral, to the point of blasphemy, all for laughs.
On the last Crosstalk, Vic recommended that listeners contact ABC Radio News, since ABC Entertainment gave no phone contact information. He suggested they be asked why they are not covering the story about reaction to the controversial program.
Vic reported that about a half hour after the program ended, he received a call from the Vice President of ABC Radio News, Steven Jones, who said that the many calls coming in had awakened them to the issue, and that it was going to the "assignment desk" to be assigned to a reporter.
Crosstalk first learned about the program from a listener, and since yesterday a number of listeners have called or written to, and also to offer additional points of contact—again at ABC Radio News. Vic said that Christians should continue to contact ABC News to ask about coverage of the program, until such coverage actually takes place on the air.
Before taking calls, Vic read another message from a listener, encouraging people to pray for the actors and producers of the program in question, that God would work on their hearts. Prayer for our nation that allows such programming without any outcry was also encouraged. Vic stated that "the church cannot remain silent while the world around us goes to hell".
Listeners were urged to put actions to their prayers, and their concerns, in whatever way they can—from handing out tracts and witnessing, to becoming involved in society to provide a Christian perspective.
