As it turns out, it's sex over psycho on the Internet.
Even though Britney Spears has been on everyone's lips this week with her crazy, rehab-hopping, umbrella-wielding antics, she's not what people really want to see. Shockingly enough, it's "American Idol" contestant Antonella Barba that everyone's curious about -- at least yesterday -- when more people searched for Barba on AOL Search than on Britney, who's one of the most looked-for people in the history of the Internet.
Salacious snaps, purportedly showing the buxom Barba, have popped up on numerous sites, though "Idol" producers haven't yet taken action against the singer as a consequence.
FOX had no comment on the photos or her search popularity.
maybe the reason she's still in the show is because that was simon she was giving the blow job to
Oh give me a break. The pictures that were posted are no worse than the typical college students. You can't even see anything. People act like worse does not go on around the rest of the country. Let the girl be...it's not that big of a deal. and to all of you bad mouthing new jersey and where she is from, knock it off. it is north jersey and new yorkers that visit "the shore" that give it a bad reputation. pt. pleasant happes to be an upscale new jersey resort town where several stars have summer homes. i dont know where people get their impression of NJ but it is completely 100% false.
."Oh give me a break. The pictures that were posted are no worse than the typical college students. You can't even see anything."
Jim - You must not have seen all the pictures. If her bare boobs hanging down and a close up of her giving a BJ isn't "seeing anything", you need to get your eyes checked. Whether you think this is typical of college students or not, many young tweens watch this show and it's bad news.
Jim says "You can't even see anything." --Time for your early eye-exam
Jim says- "it is north jersey and new yorkers that visit "the shore" that give it a bad reputation" --Obviously not just them
Jim says- "pt. pleasant happes to be an upscale new jersey resort town where several stars have summer homes."
-- It's not that upscale & who cares if "several stars" have summer homes Obviously some who live there don't act "upscale"
Jim says "i dont know where people get their impression of NJ but it is completely 100% false. " --from people like Antonella Barba
The reason this piece of trash has been web-searched so many times is because of people like me hoping and praying some skeletons would fall out of her closet. Looking for justice as to why she got in the final 24 in the first place and why she gets to stay. People like me who would expect an "American IDOL " to be a role model for their children and not some bimbo who has been looking for attention every way she can. Holy vain, Batman! Take photos of yourself much? "Oh look at me, I'm so beautiful! "
Yep, easy on the eyes you are. Or maybe just easy. Go home bimbo, your 15 minutes was up a long time ago.
This girl SUCKs SUCKS SUCKs......she can't sing just like britney....they suck together....I hope this girl cut's her hair to hide the fact she smokes weed too.....LOL
If Antonella doesn't get kicked off then it will become a race issue. Frenchie Davis was kicked off quicker and for alot less. AND Frenchie was an amazing singer. Antonella is average at best.
She has a bad jaw line. She should have been booted last week. Shes really not that good. I was suprised that people reported her steamy pictures before TMZ. But the pictures really aren't that jaw dropping. Get it ha, ha bad jaw line, jaw dropping. he, ha
it's probably some boyfriend or ole sugar daddy she burnt.
Yes, girls don't let any guy take photos or videos like this. especially if you're young(and in this case young and dumb), cus it could bite you in the butt one day.
I've seen the uncensored BJ photos and does not look exactly like AB in them. Looks like stills from a porno video, like those nasty sex for cash ones which employ very young women in certain countries. The gal looks very similar, but body and parts of the face don't match.
I don't think it's her.
Poor Britney - she must be absolutely beside herself with Anna Nicole Smith stealing the lime light with her little stunt. Britney's running around screaming for attention, running out of ideas - won't cut her hair for a while will she - but I've got something she hasn't tried: SUICIDE.
Kill Yourself Please Britney - and get out of everyone's face.

#MarriedToTheArmy Traci's Blog: Episode 1Posted: Mon 11/19/2012 08:02 PM
I have been overwhelmed by the support, love and kindness that you have all offered me. I am honestly in shock. You're all amazing!!! Well, here we go... I absolutely loved going to watch the little army men jump out of planes. When Jared is away, it's these little things that make me feel so close to him and remind me of the incredible sense of pride that he gives me every single day. Wow, he is so cool. haha. Blair, Sara and Salina are three fun girls to hang out with! Yolanda's hospitality was incredible and her words of wisdom were so inspirational. I am honored to have the 4-25 pin that she so graciously gave to me. When I was asked where Jared and I met, I wish I had answered "while I was in my 3rd year of medical school and he was finishing law school" because phewwww that would have created far less drama than telling the truth did. At that lunch, Lindsey did not even say hello to me (that I recall) so I was absolutely SHOCKED when she called to 'enlighten me' of how 'disrespectful' I was. Perhaps I didn't respond in the classiest way to her phone call, but hey, I wouldn't be me if I did. I felt like she was attacking not only me, but my marriage. I don't think that my 'bad words' even remotely compare to her 'bad attitude.' Just because she didn't curse doesn't mean that she wasn't horribly condescending and demeaning. Referring to any part of my story as a 'joke' is something that I don't take lightly. Period. Being that I was a new mom with my husband deployed and my family 5000 miles away, I was overwhelmed with emotion and have been known to not always be tactful, but ALWAYS have my heart in the right place. I am not sorry for my response and if this situation repeated itself, I would probably do the same. The wives of my husbands chain of command have assured me that Lindsey was the one who was actually out of line and if she had a question about my behavior she should have contacted them rather than call a complete stranger, who is brand new to the Army life and degrade them on a personal level. Lindsey claims that she was trying to help me but I am just not sure with what... I am blessed enough to LOVE every aspect of my life and didn't need help. I am doing just fine :) Ugh watching her say 'someones gonna have to teach her, but she'll learn' makes me think that she assumes everyone wants to be like her?? I can't speak for everyone but I know that I sure don't! Having friends over to try my moms passover dishes was a good way to cope with being so far from home during the holidays. I wasn't trying to scare Salina about her delivery!! I was trying to tell her that I waited so long to get my epidural that getting it in was a NIGHTMARE!!! GAHHH babies hurt when they come out of your tummy (since so many of you were offended by the word vagina last night, we'll use preschool terms). Thank you for allowing me to tell my story. You all are incredible and your support means more than you know! Enjoy tonights episode :) I can't wait to see it!!! God bless! To read Traci's full bio and get her Twitter handle, click here.

It may by the smaller of the two moorland courses on offer at Hilton Park, but it is in no way the easier of the duo. In fact, the Allander is very much the harder of the two as it features tighter fairways that are lined with thick rough. There are a number of great holes, but the par four fifth, stroke index one, where your second shot is played down to the green that sits in a deep gully bordered by the River Allander, is the pick of the bunch. The tenth is a tough to reach par three where making par will feel like making birdie. A long, draining par five is next followed by a reachable par four where the green sits on a plateau some 30 feet above the fairway. Facilities Directions Advance Bookings |

Recommended Standard Method of Test for Embedment Depth of
Chip-Seal Aggregates in the Lab and the Field
AASHTO Designation: Txxx-xx
1.1 This test method provides the average aggregate embedment depth, in asphalt, of
field chip seals and laboratory specimens.
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard unless otherwise
1.3 A precision and bias statement for this standard has not been developed at this
time. Therefore, this standard should not be used for acceptance or rejection of a
material for purchasing purposes.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any,
associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability
of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2.1 ASTM Standard:
· D 8, Terminology Relating to Materials for Roads and Pavements
3.1 Where the void ratio of an area of chip seal may be estimated with acceptable
accuracy, and where voids (Note 1) between all chip-seal particles are filled with
a given mass of glass beads of known packing density, the average height of
beads within the chip seal layer may be determined. This average height of beads
between the surface level of the asphalt and the average height level of the chip-
seal particles would reflect the chip seal's texture height. Given the average
particle height of the chip-seal aggregate, one may perform a calculation, using
the evaluated texture height, to yield the chip-seal embedment depth.
OCR for page 29
Note 1--For the purposes of this test method, it is assumed that the actual chip-
seal voids are those that exist above the asphalt surface and below the profile of
an imaginary, three-dimensionally undulating, flexible membrane that is draped
over aggregate particles and forced to come into contact with the peak of each
particle (see Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Two procedures are provided, each of which may be used to evaluate a field chip
seal or a specimen chip seal for embedment depth. In the first, the "spreading
procedure," a known, fixed volume of glass beads is spread into a circular area
over the surface of a chip seal to fill the voids between the particles, which are
illustrated in Figure 1. The glass beads bridge between the peaks of the chip-seal
particles in all directions and form an undulating profile. Effectively the average
height of glass beads covering the specimen is the same as the height of the chip
seal's average particle (Note 2). The circular area, achieved with the fixed volume
of glass beads, is used to evaluate embedment depth.
Note 2--For simplification, it is assumed that an "equivalent" chip seal,
constructed with one-sized, identical particles, each with height equal to the
average particle height, may be substituted for the actual chip seal that contains
voids as defined in Note 1. It is further assumed that the constituents of such an
equivalent chip seal, of the same area as the actual chip seal, would precisely
reflect the height of asphalt and the volumes of asphalt, aggregate particles, and
voids that exist in the actual chip seal. In this regard, the texture height is the
height between the level of the asphalt surface and the level of the top of particles
in the equivalent chip seal (Figure 3).

E Seal

In the second procedure, the "submerging procedure," a known, variable volume of
glass beads is used to completely cover all chip-seal particles within a fixed area to
a fixed level above the height level of the chip seal's average particle (Figure 4). In
order to determine the volume of beads within the chip-seal voids, a calculation is
first performed using the concept of the flat-topped equivalent chip seal (Note 2) to
determine the excess volume of beads that occupies the space above the chip seal
(Figure 5). The void volume is obtained by subtracting the excess volume of beads
from the total volume of glass beads on the chip-seal area. This allows for evalua-
tion of the embedment depth.

Note 3--The submerging procedure, which may be used for any degree of
embedment, has been devised primarily to account for the situation, at very high
embedment depths, where the asphalt surface intersects the imaginary membrane
defined in Note 1. In this situation, where some particle peaks are covered, it may

4.1 This test method is intended to be used in the evaluation of embedment depth in
field and specimen chip seals.
4.2 In predicting future performance of a chip seal, embedment depth evaluation is
critical. This is because performance, in certain aspects such as reduced aggregate
loss, is likely to increase as embedment depth increases. Performance in terms of
high skid resistance and reduced construction cost, on the other hand, is likely to
decrease with increased embedment beyond a certain level.
4.3 Additionally, embedment depth evaluation is important simply because it is often
the only practical means by which an apparently sound field chip seal may be
4.4 Ultimately, the results of embedment depth evaluations enable better
quantification of the relative risk associated with apparently sound roads.
5.1 Balance The balance must be capable of weighing approximately 10,000 g of
glass beads per square meter of chip seal to within +0.1 g.
5.2 Glass Cylinder/Container A smooth-bottomed glass cylinder is to be used for
the spreading procedure. A drinking glass (a shot glass) used for this purpose also
doubles as a container for weighing glass beads and pouring them onto the chip-
seal surface.
5.3 Measuring Tape This is used to measure the diameter of glass bead circles
achieved using the spreading procedure. The tape is to be graduated in
5.4 Laboratory Mold Used in the submerging procedure in the laboratory, the mold
is to have a constant height (M) and a constant cross sectional area (W) large
enough to accommodate the specimen chip seal. Additionally, when filled to its
rim, the mold must provide for complete submergence of the specimen chip seal.
Note 4--The top elevation of the mold needs only to be some 3 mm higher than
the tallest chip seal particle in order to allow smooth screeding of the surface.
5.5 Working Platform For precision, the specimen chip seal and laboratory mold
should always be prepared and configured on a flat and level platform.
OCR for page 29
5.6 Offset Spacers To perform the submergence procedure in the field, offset
spacers of known height are used to establish an offset distance from the bedding
plane of the chip seal. The tops of the spacers are equidistant from the bedding
plane and higher than the average particle height in order to achieve submergence
of chip-seal particles.
Note 5--The submerging procedure is not a suitable candidate on steeply sloping
roadways or where the level of the bedding plane is unknown. The procedure is
suitable on areas where the bedding plane level has been recorded and where the
plane is flat and approximately level in the area to be tested.
5.7 Field Mold When carrying out the submerging procedure in the field, a field
mold is to be used to form the glass beads over a fixed area of chip seal. The field
mold is to be built up using a perimeter gasket wall and a flat metal surface with a
cutout. The vertical-faced gasket wall, which may consist of moldable putty or
silicone, must be shaped such that it dams the spaces between chip-seal particles
and finishes flush with the cut-out area of the metal surface. Placement of the
metal surface is to be accommodated by the use of offset spacers such that it is
flat, at a known height above the average chip-seal particle, and allows full
submergence of the chip seal.
6.1 Specimen Chip Seal For the purposes of this test method, a specimen chip seal is
constructed on a flat and level base, or sheet, of known thickness (S) and area (R).
Additionally, for the submerging procedure, it must be possible to place the
specimen into a mold or to form a mold around the chip seal.
6.2 Area of Chip Seal Precisely measure the chip seal area (A), which is being
evaluated for embedment.
6.3 Glass Beads These are fine particles of glass that are able to fit between chip-
seal particles and, en masse, follow the contours of the particles' surface.
6.4 Packing Density of Glass Beads Fill the tared mold, of known volume (K), with
glass beads and weigh the filled container. Establish the packed glass beads' mass
per unit volume (P) for use in the following procedures.
7.1 Using the tared glass cylinder/container, weigh out a pre-calculated mass of glass
beads that will provide a chosen volume (B) at a packed density (P) (defined in
section 6). Record the mass to the nearest 0.1 g.
OCR for page 29
7.2 Pour the glass beads onto the center of the specimen to form a pile. Position the glass
cylinder on the pile of glass beads and move it in a circle to spread the beads into a
circular area.
7.3 Use the fingers to continue spreading the beads outward in a circle while allowing the
beads to accumulate between particle peaks, completely and exactly filling the void
volume (Note 1). This is achieved when only the highest point of each aggregate
particle (not otherwise submerged by asphalt) is exposed.
7.4 Place a marker at the approximate center of the circular area of beads. Rotating about
the marker, take four diameter measurements, with the measuring tape, in line with
the marker and rotationally offset 45 degrees from each other. Calculate the average
circle diameter (D).
8.1 Weigh and record, to the nearest 0.1 g, the mass of a volume (Y) of glass beads,
which will be more than enough to cover the chip seal and fill the mold.
8.2 For the lab procedure, place the specimen chip seal into the mold or form the mold
around the specimen, ensuring that the mold and the specimen are flat and level and
that complete submergence of the chip seal will be achieved.
8.3 For the field procedure, install the offset spacers such that they are elevated a known
height above the bedding plane of the chip seal as a guide for the installation height of
the field mold.
8.4 Sweep the field chip seal clean and install the mold over the area to be evaluated such
that the mold's top surface is flat and at a known offset distance above the bedding
plane of the chip seal.
8.5 Pour glass beads into the mold and screed the surface of the beads flush with the top
of the mold. The chip-seal aggregate particles should be completely covered by glass
8.6 Carefully recover the glass beads that were screeded off the mold. Weigh the unused
portion of beads and calculate the total mass of beads deposited into the mold. In turn,
use this result along with the packing density (P) to calculate the total volume (G) of
beads deposited into the mold.
8.7 For laboratory molds that are larger in area than the specimen chip seal, also calculate
the volume of beads (C) (section 9), which is deposited directly on the chip seal
surface area under evaluation.
OCR for page 29
9.1 The chip seal's texture height (T) is the average height dimension of the un-embedded
portion of particles. The average height level of this un-embedded portion is the same
as the average height level of the chip-seal particles. Therefore, the texture height is
equivalent to the dimension difference between the depth of asphalt (E) and the
average particle height (H). Where a volume of beads (B) is shaped such that it fills
the chip seal voids, the texture height can be calculated from the following:
volume of beads and aggregate above the asphalt surface
plan area of beads and aggregate
That is:
And the embedment is obtained using the following:
T = texture height (mm),
B = volume of glass beads (mm3) on the chip seal surface, filling only voids between particles,
A = plan area of chip seal covered by beads (mm2),
V = the void ratio,
E = the particle embedment depth in asphalt (mm), and
H = the average particle height (mm).
Where the submerging procedure has been used, whether in the lab or in the field, obtain B by
subtracting the volume of beads that would lay above the top level of an equivalent chip seal
(Note 2) from the total volume (C) of beads filling the voids and submerging the chip seal
(Figures 4 and 5).
B = volume of glass beads (mm3) on the chip-seal surface, filling only voids between particles;
C = total volume of beads (mm3) deposited directly on the chip-seal surface area;
S = thickness of base, or sheet, on which specimen chip seal has been constructed (mm)
(Note: S = 0 for field chip seals);
M = height of top of mold (mm) above bottom level of chip-seal base;
H = the average particle height (mm); and
A = plan area of chip seal covered by beads (mm2).
OCR for page 29
For laboratory specimens where the plan area of the mold is larger than that of the chip seal
under evaluation, obtain C using the following:
C = total volume of beads (mm3) deposited directly on the chip-seal surface area;
G = total volume of beads (mm3) deposited into the mold;
W = area of mold (mm2);
M = height of top of mold (mm) above bottom level of chip seal base;
S = thickness (mm) of base, or sheet, on which specimen chip seal has been constructed;
R = area of base (mm2); and
A = plan area of chip seal covered by beads (mm2).

6.1 Specimen Board Each chip-seal specimen is manufactured on an 18-in. square and
3/16-in. thick plywood board (Figure 1) with an unconditioned surface. A continuous,
light gauge, z-shaped metal strip is fixed to the perimeter of the board. The vertical legs
of the z-shaped metal strip are oriented such that the board is suspended Ľ in. above the
pavement by one leg (the inner) of the z-shaped metal edging (for easy removal from the
roadway) while the other leg forms a vertical lip protruding above the surface of the
board (to prevent the loss of any specimen material as the board is moved).

6.2 Aggregate and Asphalt Emulsion The chip-seal specimens are laid down by the
distributor and chipper in the course of placing the actual field chip seal. In this regard,
the properties of the specimen aggregate and asphalt emulsion are those of the field chip
6.3 Aggregate Sample the aggregate from the stockpile that is to be used in the
manufacture of the chip seal and store in an airtight container. Where moisture content
tracking is to be performed without the need for immediate results on site, laboratory
determination of aggregate moisture content (W ) may be performed. Alternatively,
estimate moisture content (W ) according to Note 2 where immediate moisture content
results are required and where available time, sufficient resources, and the need for
higher on-site accuracy warrant extra care.
Note 2--An acceptable on-site approximation of the aggregate moisture content may be
obtained by drying a representative sample of chip-seal aggregate over a few hours of the
workday. Place approximately 3 kg of aggregate (in its sample state) on the tared drying
pan and record the wet aggregate mass. Place the drying pan and its contents in a warm
(and, preferably, windy) location. When the aggregate becomes dry to the touch, record
the mass loss of the aggregate. The aggregate moisture content (W ) is the mass loss
expressed as a percentage of the dried aggregate mass.
6.4 Asphalt Emulsion Usually, a good approximation of the project asphalt emulsion's
residual content (R) may be obtained from key site personnel. Where dependable figures
are not available, the cure level of the chip seal must be based on conservative and
conventional figures (approximately 70% residual content) until a simple lab experiment
can be performed such as that outlined in Note 3.
OCR for page 29
Note 3--To evaluate the residual content of the asphalt emulsion that was used on site,
dry approximately 50 g of the material, weighed to the nearest 0.1 g, in a 100°C oven, in
the laboratory, to obtain the residual asphalt. The asphalt emulsion should be placed in a
thin layer in an approximately 11-in.-diameter aluminum foil pan. Monitor the mass of
the material until it no longer continues to lose mass over two consecutive readings taken
8 h apart. Record the mass loss and the final residual asphalt mass to the nearest 0.1 g.
Estimate the moisture content of the asphalt emulsion to be the mass loss expressed as a
percentage of the initial asphalt emulsion mass. The asphalt emulsion's residual content
(R) is the final residual asphalt mass expressed as a percentage of the initial asphalt
emulsion mass.
7.1 Set up the weighing platform (with optional wind shield) in an off-road location within
short walking distance of the location where the specimen is intended to be
manufactured. Level the platform and position the scale on the platform (with optional
7.2 Record the tare mass (B) of an unused specimen board.
7.3 Place the weighed specimen board at a chosen location on the roadway (Note 4) that is to
be chip sealed. Ensure that the board is not positioned in the wheel paths of the
distributor, chipper, or other trucks.
Note 4--Locations at which specimen chip seals are to be made should be chosen based
on the availability of similar off-road locations, in terms of temperature and exposure, to
where the specimen may be cured. Additionally, at selected manufacture locations,
manufacture should be fast and allow for removal and weighing of the specimens within
5 min of the asphalt emulsion being sprayed onto the board. When monitoring the field
chip seal, observations should be made at a location immediately adjacent to where the
specimen is manufactured.
7.4 Immediately after chips have been dropped onto the specimen board, move the specimen
from the roadway and obtain its initial total mass reading (S).
7.5 Obtain the asphalt emulsion spray rate (E) from appropriate site personnel.
7.6 Throughout the workday, maintain a log of the temperatures and other environmental
conditions affecting the cure rates of the specimen and the field chip seals. Relocate the
specimen as necessary to ensure similar curing conditions relative to those of the field
chip seal.
OCR for page 29
7.7 Record the total mass (C ) of the specimen as it cures throughout the day to various cure
Note 5--Record the specimen mass as often as practical but at least once per hour until a
desired cure level has been achieved.
7.8 Where curing conditions throughout the workday are similar for the specimen and the
field chip seal, it may be assumed that the chip-seal moisture content at a certain time
after construction is approximated by that of the specimen.

Recommended Standard Method of Test for Recover y of Asphalt from
Emulsion by Stirred-Can Method
AASHTO Designation: Txxxx-xx
1.1 This method covers the recovery of asphalt from a water-based emulsion by the stirred-
can evaporation method. The recovered asphalt reproduces the asphalt with the same
properties as those used as the asphalt base in the emulsion and in quantities sufficient for
further testing.
2.1 The water in the asphalt emulsion is evaporated under a nitrogen atmosphere at an
elevated temperature. Initially, the set point for the emulsion temperature is above the
boiling point of water, but the temperature of the emulsion would stay at the boiling point
of water while the evaporating process occurs. After most of the water has been
evaporated, the temperature of the emulsion will increase to the initial set point and the
remaining water will be completely removed. The recovered asphalt (evaporation
residue) can then be subjected to further testing as required.
3.1 Laboratory Mixer The standard laboratory mixer with mixing blade and shaft that is
capable of reaching a mixing speed of 1,000 to 2,000 rpm.
3.2 Tin Can The can should have a volume capacity of 1 gal with a 6˝-in. diameter to
allow adequate access of mixing head, thermocouple, and nitrogen outlet.
3.3 Heating Unit The heating unit consists of the heating tape and the Variac, which is used
to control output power. The length of heating tape should be adequate to wrap around
the tin can until it fully covers the bottom half of the can.
3.4 Nitrogen Purge and Nitrogen Blanket System As shown in Figure 1, these should
consist of a nitrogen piping system, nitrogen purge blanket, nitrogen sparge ring, and
rotameters that are capable of measuring the gas flow up to 8.5 to 10 L/min.
3.5 Temperature Controlling Unit The temperature control and thermocouple must be able
to operate at the maximum temperature of 325 °F.
3.6 Heat Insulator The insulator pad should be large enough to cover the tin can that is
wrapped with heating tape to prevent the heat from the tape escaping to the atmosphere.
4.1 Liquid Nitrogen A pressurized tank, with regulator or pressure-reducing valve.
OCR for page 29
5.1 The sample must be a water-based asphalt emulsion. If a solvent-based emulsion is used,
the set point temperature may need to be changed to ensure completion of solvent
removal. Also, the properties of the recovered binder may not agree with the base asphalt
if there is solvent residue left in the recovered binder.
5.2 Generally, asphalt binder will progressively harden when exposed to air, especially if the
asphalt is placed in a high-temperature environment. Therefore, during the recovery
process, the emulsion must be under a nitrogen atmosphere when the solvent is
evaporated at a high temperature.

6.1 The experimental setup for the stirred-can procedure is shown in Figure 1.
6.2 Weigh 1,250 ± 0.5 g of asphalt emulsion and add to the gallon can, then wrap the heating
tape around the can until the tape covers the bottom half. Cover the side of the can with
the heat insulation pad and place the container underneath the laboratory mixer.
6.3 Place the sparge ring into the can, but to prevent overflow due to foaming, do not turn the
nitrogen sparge on at the beginning.
OCR for page 29
6.4 Lower the mixer head into the emulsion can and turn the mixer on. Then place the lid on
top of the container and increase the mixing rate to 1,000 to 2,000 rpm, depending on
how thick the emulsion is. After that, insert the thermocouple into the can. To ensure
accurate temperature controlling, the thermocouple should not touch the side of the can or
mixer head.
6.5 Turn on and adjust nitrogen flow to 8.5 to 10 L/min for the nitrogen blanket tube, then
place the nitrogen blanket outlet on the emulsion surface to create a nitrogen blanket.
6.6 Connect the heating tape with the Variac and turn the Variac on to begin the heating
process, then set the temperature controller to 163°C (325°F). The Variac providing
power for the heating tape is set to 140 V, with corresponding power of approximately
430 W. After the heat is supplied to the system, the foaming process will start to occur.
6.7 Change the voltage on the Variac to about 100 V (corresponding power is 260 W) when
the emulsion temperature reaches 100°C (212°F). The time from the beginning of the
experiment to the time to change the voltage is approximately 20 to 30 min. Also, if
foaming stops, start the nitrogen flow into the sparge ring (8.5 to 10 L/min). The
emulsion temperature should stay at the boiling point of water until the majority of the
water is evaporated; the emulsion temperature will then start to increase.
6.8 Let the emulsion temperature reach 325°F and wait for 10 min at this temperature (total
recovery time is approximately 180 min). After 10 min, turn off the Variac, remove the
heat insulation, and loosen the heat tape, but maintain the nitrogen flows and stirring
while the sample is cooling.
6.9 Figure 2 shows a typical temperature versus time evolution curve. Four regions are
evident. The first one is from the beginning to about 18 min. In this region, the temperature
increases rapidly and nearly linearly from room temperature (around 72°F, or 22°C) to
212°F (100°C). The water evaporation rate is low in this region, and power input primarily
increases the temperature. The second region is between 18 min to 110 min where the
temperature increases slowly from 212°F (100°C) to 250°F (121°C) in about 90 min. Here
the power input mainly provides water evaporation. The third region is between 110 min
to 135 min, where the temperature increases linearly from 250°F (121°C) to 325°F
(163°C) in about 25 min, a slower rate than in the first region. In this region, much of the
water has evaporated and the power input primarily increases the temperature. In the fourth
region, from 135 min to the end of the experiment at 170 min, the temperature is controlled
at 325°F (163°C). (In Figure 2, the temperature evolution after 150 min is not shown
because it changes little.)
6.10 As the sample starts to cool (<200°F), take out the nitrogen sparge ring but keep nitrogen
flowing through the tube to prevent clogging. Then stop the mixer and move the mixer
head upward.
6.11 Store the sample in a cool room (25°C). The recovered sample can be used for further

Recommended Standard Method of Test for Determining the Strain
Sensitivity of Asphalt Emulsion Residue Using Strain Sweeps
Performed on a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR)
AASHTO Designation: Txxxx-xx
1.1 This test method covers the determination of strain sensitivity of asphalt residue from a
water-based emulsion from changes in the dynamic shear modulus obtained from strain
sweeps performed using the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). This test method is
supplementary to AASHTO T 315 and incorporates all of that standard. For this test
method, the asphalt binder is the residue obtained by removing the water from a water-
based asphalt emulsion.
1.2 This standard is appropriate for unaged material or material aged in accordance with R28.

3.1 This standard contains the procedure used to measure the complex shear modulus (G*) of
asphalt residues from water-based emulsions using a DSR and parallel plate test
3.2 The standard is suitable for unaged material or material aged in accordance with R28.
3.3 The standard is suitable for use when the emulsion residue is not too stiff to be torqued
by the DSR.

4.1 The temperature for this test is related to the test temperature experienced by the
pavement maintenance treatment in the geographical area for which the asphalt emulsion
is to be applied. Typically the maintenance treatment is applied at moderate ambient
temperature, and a default temperature of 25şC can be used for the strain sweep
4.2 A plot of dynamic shear modulus G* versus time will be generated and compared as an
indication of strain sensitivity of the residue.
4.3 The complex shear modulus is an indication of the stiffness and the resistance of the
asphalt residue to deformation under load and also is an indication of the ability of the
residue to hold aggregate.
5.1 Dynamic Shear Rheometer Test System Consisting of parallel metal plates, an
environmental control system, a loading device, and a control and data acquisition
5.2 Test Plates The 8-mm plates are used for this test with a 2-mm gap. The preliminary
gap before trimming must be set to achieve an acceptable bulge in the material after
6.1 Varsol or another suitable agent for cleaning the plates.
6.2 Acetone for removal of all remaining residue from the plates.
7.1 The sample is the residue after the water is removed from the water-based asphalt
emulsion. The properties of recovered binder may not agree with the base asphalt since
other substances have been added to the base binder in the emulsification process.
8.1 Procedure is as described in AASHTO T 315 using the 8-mm plates with a 2-mm gap.
8.2 Prepare the emulsion residue specimen according to AASHTO T 315.
8.3 Place the sample in the DSR and trim it according to AASHTO T 315.
OCR for page 29
8.4 Bring the sample and the environmental system to thermal equilibrium according to the
manufacturer's directions and AASHTO T 315.
8.5 Perform the strain sweep.
8.6 Use the following parameters for the strain sweeps:
· Intermediate test temperature, with 25şC being the default temperature.
· For strain sweeps, the DSR is set in oscillation mode for amplitude sweeps.
· DSR is set for auto-stress so that stress will be automatically adjusted to
achieve desired strain.
· Frequency is set to 10 radians per second.
· Initial stress is set to the lowest stress that the DSR is capable of applying.
· Strain is set to increment between 1% and 50%, or between 1% and the
highest strain that the DSR can achieve with the material being tested. A
preliminary test may be needed, especially with stiff residues, to estimate the
highest strain percent that can be set for the test.
· Steady shear rate is set to zero and is not used in this test.
· Number of periods is set to 1.
· Number of points is set to 256.
· Number of samples can be between 20 and 30. Determine the number of
samples to test at enough points to define the strain sweep curve when plotting
G* versus time.
· Strain control sensitivity is set to medium or better.
· Shear strain sequence is set for "up" so that strains are incremented from low
to high.
· Time increments are set to linear so that the time increments between
measurements are approximately linearly chosen (not logarithmically).
· Delay time is set to 1 s.
· Check that integration time is between 1 and 2 s, and total test time for the
strain sweeps is less than 2 min.
8.7 Visually inspect the sample after the test when removing the sample from the plates. Note
whether the sample is wholly or partially adhered to the plates, and note whether the
sample has a ductile or a brittle break when the plates are pulled apart.
8.8 Generate a plot of dynamic shear modulus versus time. A flat curve indicates a strain-
resilient material. A steep curve indicates a strain-sensitive material.

Employee Spouses Beware
Publix – Lakeland, Florida
You work for a company that condones management going out with their married employees.
This is a story I had to share. About 3 years ago we moved to the Bluffton area, from the north. I thought this was great to be with good God-fearing people. When we moved down we were not married. About 6 months later my girl friend Patricia Turner got a job with Publix (thought they were a great company). She started in grocery and was transfer to meat department as a meat cutter apprentice about 9 months ago. Everything was great at first we got married 2 years ago.
Then comes the arrival of assistant meat manager Richard Morris. At first they started playing face book games together, I didn't give much thought cause he requested me as a friend and I noticed he was a Southern Baptist (good moral people right) well apparently not him. He soon befriended me on face book and I noticed he was checking liked on almost everything my wife put on face book.
In June is when things really started happening Richard Morris got a cell phone I then noticed on my bill days where Richard and my wife Patricia would text back and forth as many as 26 times a day , phone calls as long as 15 minutes, and multiple calls in 1 day. When I would mention anything to my wife she would tell me he calls everyone.
When I spoke to one of the ladies in the meat department a few days ago, I was told by this employee Richard never called her. I then noticed my wife was working strange hours . Then God shed some light on me.
On the 21st of September I was suppose to drive my wife to work because I needed the car. She woke me out of a sound sleep 45minutes to one hour before she was suppose to be at work and said she had to hang tags and left before I got a chance to say a word. I was taking a shower when my phone rang. By the time I got to it, it had stopped ringing. I called my wife back within a minute no answer. I went back to the shower and the phone rang again this time I called back as soon as it stopped ringing with no answer.
Then with her cell phone in her pocket she accidentally called twice. The first time you hear her staying "oooh do it and you get me tingling when you say that ,you better stop doing that". To me these are not words and actions to be taking place at work, single or married. The second call was even better you hear my wife telling someone "if she wasn't involved with the other she would have definitely cheated on me with him and she wouldn't just cheat to cheat". My wife left on the 23rd to move in with her sister so I was told. I doubt she even spent one night there.
On the night of the 5th of October I found my wife's change of address form she filled out on the 1st with the same address as Richard Morris. The next day I finally get to speak with my wife and I finally get her to admit what she was denying all along that not only was she sleeping with her boss Richard Morris but also she was living with him. Later that evening I get a voice mail from good old Southern Baptist Richard Morris telling me that him and my wife had talked to the district manager and everything was alright with their jobs. They decided they wanted to have a relationship he did not now why I wanted to make something out of this (I guess it's normal to have people steal your wife away from you). He then told me they were not having a relationship or living together but would after she was transferred and there was nothing I could do about it and he loved her would protect her and fight for her with all his heart this is coming from somebody who is not having a relationship come on.
I am a 13 + year veteran with heart and Parkinson's disease who thought he would grow old with the woman he loved . I swallowed my pride by not taking a baseball bat to Richard and contacted the store manager in Hardeeville SC where Richard and my wife worked. He did not want to be bothered and almost walked me out the door. . I then contacted Selena Gasbarro in Human Resource Jacksonville she told me to send her everything I had. I sent her 2 voice recordings from my wife one from Richard, all the texts and phone calls, and my wife's change of address form and Richards' face book page, that on the 12th of September stated he was in a relationship. When his status changed I requested him as a friend he turned me down the first time and suspended his account for a couple of days the second time I requested it.
On the 10th of October I find out that my wife is being transferred and to award her and her boyfriend Richard the relation-less couple they gave them both a weeks vacation at the same time. I tried to call Selena, but after the first call she never spoke with me again. All correspondence was thru email. I told her of the vacation and she told me she and the district manager were investigating it and were not taking it lightly. She also told me they could not tell me anything of their findings. I guess sinner have more rights then the husband of one of the sinners.
A couple of days later I asked if I could be told when the investigation was finished. I was then told she and district manager closed the case. I guess nothing was done they did not find any of this inappropriate. I have been going to this store for 3 years so I'm friendly with a few of the employees that are extra nice. One of the employees in the meat department who I enjoy talking to is being threatened to be written up for talking to me This was told to me by one of the other employees. I noticed the last two times I was in the store the manager would come running back to the meat department to try and stop conversation. This employee and I would have friendly conversations about things in general. I feel very bad about this man being targeted for just being friendly. But I thought we were still in the United States, one nation under God.
I feel that the publix corporation and management have contributed to the lack of morals amongst their employees. This has been proved to me by the handling of this situation by the district manager,corporation, and the human resources department.

We offer free shipping all year. We are in an industry with tons of competition with everybody selling pretty much the same brands on-line, catalog and retail. We are still able to make money doing this. By offering free shipping we can obide by the MAP guidlines of manufacturers, still make money, and make shopping more appealing and simple for the customer. If two reputable sites have the exact same item for about the same price, but shipping costs $50 at one and is free at another it is a no-brainer for the customer. When I shop on-line I add the words "free shipping" to alot of my search queries....maybe people who don't offer free shipping don't know people do that.
There really isn't a cut-and-dry answer for every business on this topic.

WARNING: Palin Derangement Syndrome Outbreak at the Daily Beast
(Image by David Lunde, hat tip to Michelle Malkin)
Kudos to Daily Beast editor-in-chief Tina Brown for penning an anti-Sarah Palin tirade so vitriolic, I thought there had been a mix-up with her byline and Andrew Sullivan's.

Sorting Through Special Ed
Oct 11, 2005 — This week, we've heard stories of students in special education in New York State--all different: inclusion, mainstreaming, self-contained. How does one student end up in general education classes, and another in a special classroom? Is there a right, or a wrong, way of special education? Andrew Pulrang is executive director of the Independent living Center in Plattsburgh. He is an advocate for people with disabilities. He has a physical disability himself. And he's got first hand experience of schools in New York, and Washington State. He spoke with Martha Foley.

Video: Brady throws at Gillette
ESPN cameras caught Patriots quarterback Tom Brady throwing passes on the turf at Gillette Stadium before Monday's NCAA Division 1 lacrosse title game.
Wearing a red T-shirt and black sweatpants, Brady showed no lingering effects from surgery for the torn left ACL that sidelined him for nearly the entire 2008 season.
Brady did not participate in the on-field portion of last week's voluntary organized team activity, but that was expected as the first sessions are geared towards younger players and new acquisitions.
The two-time Super Bowl MVP is expected to be on the field for this week's four-day, full-squad OTA, which begins today in Foxborough. Reporters will view Thursday's session.
Last week, Brady sat down for an interview with the Patriots' in-house web show, "Patriots Today" last week and expressed excitement for the upcoming season.
"I'm feeling great and just excited to be out there on the field, training with my teammates," Brady said. "It's always fun being back in this competitive environment and working with these guys to try to make 2009 our best season. It's been fun to be back. I think everyone is excited to get back on the field and see what we're capable of."
In the second of two soundbites, Brady was asked if he was eager to get back on the field.
"I think everybody is at this point," he said. "It was a tough year for us being 11-5 and not having the opportunity to advance into the playoffs and make a run there. I think it's been a long off-season for everybody. I can sense the excitement with the team and we've got some great veteran leadership and a lot of youth and energy with our rookies that hopefully we can build into something special."
Good to see him out there.
I could care less about what he does off the field. But seeing him on the field makes me excited about what the Patriots could do this season. And, just like 2007, the Defense should get plenty of rest. The offense should be controlling the ball all day long. I'm very excited and can't wait. Welcome back Tom!
Wait a minute -- I thought others had "inside" information
that Brady would be out for most of the 2009 season?The best piece of web footage I have seen in quite a while....GO PATS
lol katama - don't you love sensationalist journalism, which is to say all journalism these days?
Let's Roll!
That was not Tom Brady. The Patriots created an android that appears to be Tom Brady and will be substituting him in the OTA's. Based on how the android performs the Pats wil be trying to get him into some "live" action during the preseason to see how he shapes up. "Data" from Star Trek has agreed to help translate for the new QB coach so he can get him up to speed for the regular season action. ha ha ha.......... - but i am sure the media will be going nuts looking for a controversy from New England this year.... just wait - it wont take long.
Wait. I don't think anyone said he wouldn't be able to toss a football around in late May prior to a lacrosse game. Don't get me wrong, it's great to see him throwing, but keep in mind that the injury was to his knee. I'm not ready to declare "all is well" because of this footage.
Yes, welcome back Tom. Stay healthy! GO PATS!!
Glad he is back throwing the football Just hope heisover 100% ready for the seasons opening game But Brady needs to start working out w/ the team all the time cause he was injured all last season He cannot be rusty
Nice to see Tom holding something other than a kid, ice-cream cone, or new bride! I agree with a past comment, this means nothing though, the real test will come game time and for someone else to roll into his knee! Think it won't happen? Think again.... and who is the back-up? Exactly! Viva La Vick!
Kevin O'Connell is the #2 QB on this team. Vick sucks. 'gimp' must refer to your ability to process thoughts.
Great to see Brady is on the field tossing the ball around. Progress!! Of course the pre-season and then later the regular season is when we'll see if "Tom Terrific" is back. Go Pats!!
Great to see TB back throwing.
This season can't come quick enough indeed.
Linemen, you need to protect that man at all times.
You know the oponents are going to be shooting for his knee.
Perfection awaits...Whatever ghost, I am certainly sure no one can argue the ability of Vick as well as the comfort he would give the fans if he has to step onto the field... Kevin who?
Vick does not have the accuracy needed to QB this offense. if he wants to play WR/KR maybe the Pats would be interested.
I will gladly argue with the ability of Vick--he was a tremendous athlete and a prima donna as a player. As a QB, he was mediocre at best. He posesses a marginal 75.7 career passer rating and a 53.8 career completion percentage. Those numbers tell the story of the player. But some of you seem stuck on the idea of 'The Michael Vick Experience', which never translated into a successful NFL career.
Combine his mediocrity with his off-field antics, and you can forget about getting a Patriots jersey with 'Mexico' on the back.
Same here dont care about what the guy does off the field thats his business
but what i do want to see is him throwing Tds all season Brady could go down as the best QB in the history of the game the next 5 yrs will tell beginning in the 2009 season LETS GO PATSWell, I am not sure of Kevin O'Connell's numbers ghost, but he is no Vick. All I am saying is for who is out there, they need a QB who can throw, run and stir up some dirt for the other teams not knowing what he is going to do next. Anyone who is a Pro is just that... a "pro" however, with an offense like the Pats, Vick could be one more "weapon" in times of doubt. Brady is thier man, but then again.. the million dollar question is that knee. So, time will tell.... Before Vick's conviction, you know probably no one, would turn him down to be thier backup or starter!
I would have turned him down then as well.
Let me guess--you were ready to crucify Cassel last year in preseason too?
You and I will never see eye-to-eye on how teams are built and how the game is played. Vick is junk, just like his brother--remember him? I'm all set with scumbags becoming millionaire athletes with no accountability for their behavior off the field. And yes, I include Meggett, Little, Ray Lewis, Pacman and every other scumbag. Good riddance to the lot.
So psyched to hear and see Tom back on the field, talking football. The word is that he has thrown to Moss and Welker on 12 diff. occasions and practiced on UCLA's field on the down-low.
And to those that say we should have interest in Vick, you're really not thinking clearly...two reasons why that won't and shouldn't happen, #1, Vick's not smart enough for this complicated offense, it took Matt 3 years to get it right taking the snaps as the backup QB and #2, Vick isn't just a malcontent, he's a dog killing loser, and his younger brother had so many run-ins with the law, it'll keep him from even entering the NFL at all. In short, he's a dumb bad character and we don't have a need for dog killing losers.

Hi, (not you?) | Member Center | Sign Out
Posted: 5:57 p.m. Wednesday, April 17, 2013
2013 combo guard Dominique Hawkins from Richmond (KY) Madison Central signed his LOI with the Kentucky Wildcats, per Next Cats' Ben Roberts.
Dominique Hawkins says he hasn't spoken to Cal since his commitment. Hawkins did send his letter of intent to UK this morning.
— Ben Roberts (@NextCats) April 17, 2013
Hawkins is the latest Kentucky commitment, part of an eight-man recruiting class for the ages that is currently ranked number one in the country. He committed a week ago on April 10, though he reported that he held an offer since mid-March. Hawkins is expected to start his career as a ball-handling guard off the bench, with the possibility of starting down the line.
There has not been an official announcement of Hawkins' binding commitment, though one should be forthcoming. Likewise, there has been no public news on Kentucky's two other spring commitments, Dakari Johnson and Julius Randle. Both players are expected to fax in their LOI's during the regular signing period as well.

Love the product, especially now that cross device sync works quite well with iCloud. I would like to pass comment of one thing I find frustrating though: when adding an item (such as a note) the top left button says 'Done', however, in most instances it doesn't mean 'Done' it actually means 'cancel'. I have lost a number of notes by accidentially pressing the top left 'Done' button. The app would certainly benefit from some sort of yes/no confirmation box when it is pressed and if the item has been changed. Possibly alter the text on the button if the content has changed also would be a nice touch.
Keep up the good work though.

Departing from Southwest Waterfront, a boat skipper begins another journey down the calm, flat waters of the Potomac River. The multi-decked boats, such as the Patriot II catamaran, power DC Harbor Cruises's daily tours of the capital's famous waterway. The tour crafts are furnished with bars, snacks, full audio systems, and plush seating for sightseers to enjoy as they drift along the Potomac's smooth waters and collect eyefuls of national treasures. Guests can admire the imposing Capitol Building and whisper about how silly the Washington Monument looks without its powdered wig. The Coast Guard–certified staff points out other notable visuals such as the National Cathedral's stately towers, the Pentagon, and Fort McNair.
The trio of seasoned tour guides understands that being a guide is more than just being able to carry a microphone and CDL driver's license with style. Being a guide is a great responsibility; it means safeguarding history and passing its great secrets and wisdoms on to others. Whether visiting DC's iconic structures and memorials in the daylight or evening, they passionately share the stories of the individuals, ideals, and food-based dares that shaped the United States into what it is today. Fueled by the realization that planning a trip to the nation's capital may be a once in a lifetime experience for some people, they put extra effort into ensuring that experience is as memorable as possible, leading all of their tours in a luxurious 2012 Mercedes bus.
Committing their enterprise to eco-friendly tourism, the women at SegZone Tours guide visitors through the historic streets of Annapolis, along the city waterways of Dover, and around the track at Dover International Speedway—all aboard segways. For groups or private parties, tour leaders can also focus excursions on local gardens, architecture, and wildlife in areas often unreachable by car or paraglider. They also guide themed seasonal tours, such as rides along haunted-house routes or past holiday-light displays. With an eye toward safety, staff members always provide thorough instruction on riding before tours or rentals, though they often give customers license to race or argue over whose segway would look better with flames painted on the side. When not leading guided excursions for customers or school groups, the team organizes corporate team-building events as well as indoor obstacle courses for recreation.
Founded by Post cereal heiress Marjorie Merriweather Post, Hillwood Estate, Museum & Gardens is a premier art collector's museum. Featuring the most comprehensive collection of Russian imperial art outside of Russia, 18th-century French decorative arts, Faberge eggs, Beauvais tapestries--and situated on 16 acres of gardens.
French-trained photographer E. David Luria loves many subjects, but he directs most of his attention toward Washington, DC's historic architecture. His images, which lovingly depict the city's landmarks, have been published in Time magazine as well as several local Washington papers. Luria teaches tricks of his trade privately for the Smithsonian Resident Associates Program, but also through Washington Photo Safari's tours.
Luria, along with a team of 11 other instructors—many experienced independent photographers and photojournalists—shepherd small groups through the capital's streets, gardens, and halls while teaching them photographic techniques. These include how to use selective focus, control F-stops and shutter speeds, and remove vampires from pictures taken at night. They then help participants practice these skills on expeditions through buildings such as the Lincoln Memorial, the Washington National Cathedral, and the National Building Museum. More seasonal tours let guests document the short-lived cherry blossom season, challenging them to capture striking tableaus of the pink petals from land or water. They also teach composition among the verdant garden landscapes and elegant buildings at Hillwood Gardens and the US Botanic Garden to foster tourists' appreciation for nature and their ability to heckle squirrels.

Our research interest is in understanding how high-risk HPV leads to cancer. We want to study the way in which HPV activates telomerase, a critical step in oncogenic progression in many cancers and universally found in HPV-associated cancers.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) is a double stranded DNA virus, with a genome that is approximately eight kilobases in length. There are over 100 genotypes of HPV that have been identified, and more than 30 types infect the mucosa and can be sexually transmitted. HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection, with more than 75% of adults having evidence of a current or prior infection with HPV,5 and with a third of adolescents getting infected with HPV after being sexually active for at least two years.1 HPV requires a full thickness epidermis to complete its life cycle and produce infectious virions. HPV genes are named E for early, and L for late, based on their expression patterns in a normal viral life cycle. The E1 and E2 proteins are involved in HPV DNA replication and expression. The L1 and L2 proteins form the capsomers for HPV. The E6 and E7 proteins drive normal epithelial cells to continue to divide as they leave the basal layers of the epidermis and differentiate.
HPV that infects the mucosa can be further divided as high-risk or low-risk, based on their association with cancer. E6 and E7 genes in these high-risk HPVs are considered to be oncogenes; they are universally expressed in all HPV-associated cancers. The expression of high-risk HPV E6 and E7 immortalizes epithelial cells grown in culture. We are interested in the role of HPV E6 in this cellular immortalization step.
Telomeric DNA is repetitive DNA that caps the ends of linear chromosomes. With each cellular DNA replication, approximately 200 nucleotides of DNA are lost. Thus, the length of telomeric DNA marks the age of a cell; the older a cell is, the shorter its telomeres. Once the telomeric DNA of cell becomes critically shortened, the cell goes through either senescence or apoptosis (the "Hayflick Limit").2 All stem cells express telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein that can extend the repetitive DNA at the ends of chromosomes, to avoid this limit. Telomerase is comprised of several subunits, and in humans it includes the protein dyskerin, the RNA template TERC, and the catalytic subunit hTERT. The expression of hTERT is rate limiting for the enzyme; with more hTERT expression, there is more telomerase activity in cells. Cancer cells need to avoid senescence or apoptosis signals as a part of oncogenic progression; thus, the majority of cancers activate telomerase.
High-risk HPV E6 activates telomerase through transcriptional activation of the hTERT promoter. We have found that HPV E6 also increases hTERT expression through post-transcriptional regulation.3,4 HPV E6 interacts with several endogenous proteins in epithelial cells, and we are studying the way in which hTERT mRNA is regulated by these endogenous proteins, including NFX1-123 and cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins. More broadly, we are interested in the normal role of NFX1-123 and cytoplasmic poly(A) binding proteins in RNA regulation and other RNAs that HPV E6 affects in epithelial cells. All of these studies will shine light on in the normal HPV viral life cycle, on cancer progression with or without HPV infection, and finally could be utilized as a marker of disease progression in patients.
Researchers interested in either of these areas of focus in the laboratory, please contact Rachel Katzenellenbogen to discuss our current projects.
