It doesn't matter if he's been naughty or nice all year. Adam's stocking is still getting stuffed full of Cole, this Christmas.
The coming of age for any vampire is cause for celebration, a time when they first taste blood. For Cole, however, his twenty-fifth birthday brings a terrible choice from his father—either he takes the life of another to prove his worth, or he forfeits his own life. Cole chooses the only way his heart will allow, and pays the price with both his fangs and the rapidly mounting blood starvation that will slowly end his life, now that his body needs to feed, but cannot. He escapes, bleeding, barefoot, and wearing nothing more than a simple cotton sleep-shirt. With his father's sentinels in pursuit, Cole soon finds himself half-frozen and unable to run anymore. The last thing he expects when he crawls into a dumpster to hide away for the last few hours of his life is to be rescued by a temperamental black cat and...aww hell...his cherished one, Adam. How is Cole meant to blood-bond to the wolf hybrid when his time is fast running out, and he has no fangs to even try? He quickly learns his cherished is far more than he appears, though, and Adam's friends at the Delta Rehabilitation Centre have even higher friends, with a score to settle with his father, of their own. It's just a shame he won't be around long enough to witness their payback.

Slow Food in Africa is Not Just Creating Gardens, But a New Idea of Agriculture
11 Jun 14
Carlo Petrini
An Italian daily newsletter recently published an article entitled Gli orti d'oro di Slow Food (Slow Food's golden gardens), claiming that Slow Food has entered the "business" of international development by raising funds for creating 10,000 food gardens in Africa and then using 70% of the donations to pay for its own structure. According to the article, "Every food garden requires an investment of 900 euros. No small figure. Then one finds out that the garden itself costs 250 euros, the rest is 'hot air'."
Such a strong criticism is not based on actual knowledge of our 10,000 Gardens in Africa project. The writer of the piece did not contact Slow Food for information, nor talk to the African garden coordinators, nor visit the Slow Food gardens in Africa. Instead, he did no more than look at a table on our website and give his personal interpretation of it, seeking to discredit one of Slow Food's most important projects; a project that involves over 50,000 people in Africa and is mobilizing tens of thousands of members and activists around the world. Let us explain this table. Not so much to respond to the article, but out of respect for our network of donors, who believe in this project, and who include tens of thousands of people who have made their contribution by taking the effort to collect many small amounts of money, participating in everyday volunteering activities, and out of respect for our African network, made up of many young people, women, farmers, teachers, students and chefs working in 30 countries. In Africa Slow Food is not simply creating a number of food gardens (a hundred, a thousand or ten thousand) but is promoting an idea of agriculture based on understanding the land and respecting biodiversity and local cultures. An agriculture able to feed African communities without denaturing social relationships and devastating the environment, but by relying on the dignity of communities (their history, their wisdom) and respect for the land and its ecological equilibrium. This is why, in Slow Food gardens, traditional varieties of vegetables, fruits and culinary and medicinal herbs are planted (those best suited to the local conditions); nurseries are built to reproduce seeds (so they do not have to be bought every year and to preserve biodiversity); green waste, manure and ashes are composted for fertilizer (to save money and avoid killing the soil with chemical fertilizers); water is saved (by collecting rainwater, maintaining soil moisture through good practices like mulching and using drip irrigation); the harvest is consumed at home or in schools (for school gardens) and the surplus is sold at local markets or small restaurants next to the food gardens (like the community garden in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso).
All this requires people who are trained and aware. It requires young leaders who can motivate communities. This is why the amount that Slow Food asks for to support one food garden (€900) is not used just to buy hoes, wheelbarrows, watering cans and fences (€250) but also to pay for the work and training of the African coordinators who organize the communities (€200); to ensure scholarships for young people (€100); to allow them to travel, get to know other contexts and meet other communities (€100) and to translate and print educational material in African languages (€50). All of this money goes directly to the African countries. Slow Food receives €200 (22.2%), necessary for covering the costs of coordinating the project, including drawing up guidelines for the food gardens, identifying agronomists, producing educational content, networking together the country coordinators, managing the exchange of information between the network of donors and the African food garden communities and communication. The €900 is not an annual amount, as the article claims, but was used for three years of work, from 2011 (the year the project was launched) to 2013 (when the first 1,000 gardens were created). And the 1,000 food gardens created so far still exist and will continue to exist, without additional funding. With the funds collected for the first 1,000 food gardens (the description of each individual garden can be found on our website and soon you will be able to find them on Google Maps), we also paid for the work of 58 African coordinators, involved 55 African agronomists, organized 31 training seminars for a total of around 1,000 people from 25 African countries, funded 7 scholarships and paid the costs of numerous study trips and internships (Roba Bulga and John Kariuki, the current national Slow Food coordinators in Ethiopia and Kenya, are former students who benefitted from these scholarships) and produced and distributed educational material (videos, brochures, manuals, comics) in 17 languages (English, French and Portuguese, but also Swahili, Amharic, Omoro, Bambarà, Zulu and many others). Many of the people involved in this project have become leaders at a local and national level, but also on the international stage: Edward Mukiibi, coordinator of the Ugandan gardens, is now the vice-president of Slow Food International; John Kariuki Mwangi, the Kenyan garden coordinator, is a Slow Food International Councilor and a member of the Board of Directors of the Slow Food Foundation for Biodiversity; Sara El Sayed, in charge of the Egyptian gardens, and Lhoussaine El Rhaffari, in charge of the Moroccan gardens, are also Slow Food International Councilors, as is Herschelle Millford, the South African garden coordinator. This, to us, is real development. Real politics. The rest is "hot air." Carlo Petrini, President of Slow Food Translation: Carla Ranicki

WASHINGTON, July 16, 2013 — Identity theft and credit card theft is the bane of most, if not all, financial institutions. Sadly, a recent study has shown that the problem for both crimes is growing and has revealed the top credit card fraud states in the US.
A Map of Fraud
FICO, a credit scoring company, managed to collect new data about the number of identity and credit card theft and laid it out in terms of where it occurred. The data was then illustrated as a map showing which locations had an increasing or decreasing or flat rate of fraud.
Their findings revealed the top credit card fraud states in the US to usually be those in the Northeast along the eastern seaboard and those in the Southwest. A total of 20 states were found to have increased instances of fraud, among which were New York, Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Nevada. On the flip side, 20 other states experienced a decline in their cases of credit card fraud and identity theft. Among these states were California, Illinois, Connecticut, and New Jersey. The remaining 10 states had a flat growth rate for their fraud cases like Florida.
The discovery of 20 states belonging to the top credit card fraud states in the US is not the scariest part of this study. Rather it's the details that you see as you dig down deeper. Fraud caused by ATM skimming dropped to 46% from 2011's 79%. The insight behind these numbers is that criminals are starting to become savvier in their methods and have begun targeting other type of devices that can give them the information they need to commit fraud.
Protecting yourself from Fraud
We all need to take an active stand against this issue if we don't want to become another fraud case statistic. Always take the necessary precautions when using your cards. Given that card skimming is still a very common way of committing fraud, you need to know how to guard against it. Card skimming can basically happen whenever you swipe your credit or debit card. This is done through the insertion of skimmers into card reader sleeves. Skimmers can actually look like it's part of the actual device. So before making a swipe, try to pull on the card swiper. Should it seem loose in any way, stop and find another ATM.
Also make sure to always check your account statements and see if the transactions are accurate. Should you see anything suspicious, look into it immediately to prevent any further theft or fraud. When typing in your PIN, always remember to cover your hand as you type to keep it secret. Lastly, trust your gut. If at any point, you think that your account has been compromised, make sure that you take the time to check with your bank or whichever financial company you're tied to. Tell them what you think and they can look into your suspicions as soon as possible.
Getting Credit in a Time of High Security
With cases of fraud on the rise, you can expect that people AND financial institutions will be increasing their security. This may make it more difficult for you to get loans or, at least, get favorable rates for loans. Keep in mind that, by Federal Law, we are entitled to get 3 credit reports for free. These reports come from Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. We advise that you get your hands on these reports, look it through, and remove as many negative marks as you can. The 3 credit reports mentioned can help evaluate your credit standing through data taken from any creditors, banks, and the like. If you study it well enough, you know what exactly you can do to make your credit score better especially if you need to take out a big loan such as a mortgage loan. These 3 credit reports can be requested online once every year and can be obtained online or through snail mail.

Mr. Gaydos stated that Mr. Mendes had met with the insurance company, who has agreed to replace all three doors, all of the brick (except the two wings) in the central portion of the building.
Mr. Haverty aske= d how service levels have been affected. Chief Midgley discussed the fact that certain apparatus had to be pl= aced with other apparatus because of its size.&= nbsp;
Chief Midgley re=
that on
Mr. McDevitt ask= ed if the bids included any changes to the existing fire station. Chief Midgley said there had been discussion with what would be done with the front doors, but at this point = it had been nullified (by the motor vehicle accident). He said his concern (prior to the accident) was that the station lost a tremendous amount of heat. Since the bays in the front would = be replaced, it was no longer an issue for them.
Mr. Lynde said w= hen the Town was looking at the Plan B option for the intersection; there was a discussion about people having to come to the back of the building for emergency help. He said there= had also been discussion about the offices being modified. He questioned if that had been par= t of the present discussion. Chief Midgley answered no. He said = the septic system would be relocated to the left side of the building (toward <= st1:Street w:st=3D"on">Marsh Road)= ; the parking on the right side would be diminished, but there would still be some parking. His understanding wa= s that the road would be fifteen feet from the building and there would be a sidew= alk providing access to the doors at the front of the building.
Chief Midgley re= ported to the Selectmen that Pelham had not received a rejection letter, however a= ll of the towns that had been awarded (grant money) had been notified of such. He said it sounded like Pelham did not receive an award.
There were no fu= rther questions by the Selectmen. = span>
Approval of Property Assessment Updates
Mr. Gaydos said = a letter had been received from Corcoran Associates outlining the Town's asses= sed values; he read a portion of the letter aloud. Because of timing and the fact that assessments were being reduced (across the board), Corcoran suggested that = the cost of mailings not be incurred and instead place a printed list of sales = and new assessments in Town Hall, Library and on Town website. Taxpayers could be notified of the= ir new assessments via press release and through local cable channels. Mr. Gaydos said the MS1 had been prepared, and if accepted by the Selectmen, showed the value of all propert= ies (less exemptions) was $1,415,602,320.
Mr. Lynde said a= document had been provided to the Selectmen that he believed addressed a request he = made to show the increase in valuation from last year to this year. He reviewed the information and be= lieved that the total increase over last year was $5.6 million. He questioned why all the valuatio= ns (i.e. single family, waterfront) were not assessed on the same percentage.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Mr. Gaydos said each of the classi= fications were judged individually based on the market determination.
Mr. Gaydos said = if the Board chose to sign the MS1 it could then be sent to the state to start mak= ing arrangements to have the tax rate set.&nbs= p;
(Viger/Gleason= ) To accept the property assessment values for 2009 set by Corcoran Associates.
(5-0-0) The motion carried.
Discussion – Travel Basketball
Mr. Haverty read= aloud a letter sent from Park & Recreation Director Brian Johnson to the Town Administrator. In summary the letter set rumors aside regarding travel basketball. Mr. Johnson wrote that the school = had recreation travel basketball listed on their calendar and it was not a recreation program. He requested that the calendar be corrected. He wrote further that Park & Recreation ('P&R') had not sponsored a travel basketball te= am and did not intend to sponsor a team.
Mr. Haverty said= in effect, there was an individual who had a number of seventh graders that wa= nted to join a league and believed the request was that the Town sponsor the team and allow it to become a P&R team.&nbs= p; Being a P&R team would enable them to apply to be in different organizations/leagues. Also, = by being a P&R basketball team it would enable them to ride on the insuran= ce policy offered to other P&R programs.
Mr. Lynde said i= f he were another team in the Town he would ask if the Town would do the same th= ing for them.
Mr. Viger didn= 8217;t see any problem or burden with the Town sponsoring a team if it didn'= t cost P&R any money and it was only being used as verification of citizenship with the Town. He said there = was a fine line and questioned if children were being taken from an existing team= to form another team, leaving one team short.=
Mr. Haverty note= d there was a private organization in Town that was a travel basketball team; this would be a different team. He felt it should be evaluated on a team, by team basis. He would extend the op= portunity to any team to be sponsored by the Town and felt the Town should encourage people to form programs and encourage children to play.
Mr. Gleason felt= a dangerous precedent would be set. He said there were numerous volunteer organizations in Town and if certain groups were allowed to break off and be sponsored by the Town (and provided insurance), the Town would then be competing with those organizations. He said it may discourage participation and have a disruptive effect on the recreational a= ctivities of the volunteer groups. Mr. Gleason reiterated his feeling that it was a dangerous precedent based on t= he scope of the recreational activities in Town. He felt they were working very wel= l on the volunteer basis and P&R was working well.
Mr. McDevitt wasn't aware that a request to form or sponsor a basketball team was = in front of the Selectmen. He commented that if the Town sponsored a team, they would be subject to rules, regulations, policies, procedures and general oversight by the P&R Dire= ctor. He said he would like to see a req= uest and also to have (Park & Recreation Director) Mr. Johnson come in and t= ell the Board why he thought the Town should do it. He also questioned why it was a Bo= ard decision. Mr. Haverty said a request was made to him to bring it to the Board. The request was to form a Town sanctioned P&R run team. = Mr. Haverty believed at this point, it was a Board conversation to take a posit= ion because (in some regard) Mr. Johnson didn't want to make the decision= .
Mr. Gaydos belie= ved the Town should establish certain protocols to follow when there is a P&R team. He said a lot of volunt= eer teams are run with a board that provides consensus and direction. He said if a team fell under P&= ;R, the final decision would be that of the P&R Director. He questioned if there was a limit= to the number of programs that was reasonable for the department to run. He believed Mr. Johnson was concer= ned with setting a precedent and was seeking the advice of the Selectmen.
Mr. Haverty stat= ed that it would be a new program that didn't have an existing board in place. He said there was a gr= oup of kids that wanted to play basketball in a different league than what the Town currently had played with. He= said they had asked to be taken under the auspice of P&R and to ride on their insurance waiver. He didnR= 17;t feel it was an unreasonable request.
Mr. Gaydos clari= fied insurance coverage and what would be covered by the Town versus what would = be covered by an individual's insurance.
There was further discussion regarding the request that had come before the Board. Mr. McDevitt felt the individual m= aking the request should meet with Mr. Johnson and make certain they understood w= hat having P&R oversight would mean to them. He said if they reach an agreement= , Mr. Johnson should then contact the Selectmen and make a recommendation. Mr. Haverty stated that the indivi= dual's desire was to start the team and he would be happy to advocate the teamR= 17;s management to Mr. Johnson and work under his guidelines.
Mr. Gaydos noted= that the program would be run through the 80 Fund. He felt it was reasonable for P&am= p;R to review any program in terms of how fiscally viable it would be. He said it should be part of Mr. Johnson's consideration as a policy issue for any program.
Mr. Lynde stated= in the past that the P&R Director had started new programs without coming to t= he Selectmen. Mr. Haverty asked = if the recommendation from the Board was to put the decision to Mr. Johnson. Mr. Lynde said if Mr. Johnson was uncomfortable and wanted further direction he should come speak to the Selectmen. Mr. Gaydos asked i= f a memo to the Selectmen would be sufficient if Mr. Johnson met with the individual and had an understanding. There was no objection. It was noted that Mr. Johnson should be mindful that others may come with a similar request if this program was allowed.
Mr. Gaydos said = there had been a bid opening for the roof work at the Transfer Station; one bid w= as received from Aristocraft of Londonderry in the amount of $8950. He reviewed the work that was incl= uded in the bid.
Mr. Gleason ques= tion how much money was in the budget. Mr. Gaydos said they were going to charge the work to the recycling building fund; there were adequate funds. Mr. Gleason asked how many firms h= ad been solicited. Mr. Gaydos sa= id the Transfer Station Superintendent oversaw a general walk through; one bid was received. Mr. Gleason asked what the time line was for the work. Mr. Gaydos believed once the bid w= as awarded he would be able to get the time line; it was understood to be this year.
(McDevitt/Lynd= e) To award the bid, in the amount not to exceed $8950, for the specified work = for the roof on the Transfer Station to Aristocraft.
(5-0-0) The motion carried.
Mr. Gaydos repor= ted that there had been six to seven people attend a site walk at the fire station w= ith regard to (the intersection project) Plan B. One bid was received from SDK Landholdings, LLC (Mr. David Mendes) who bid on the new building itself bec= ause it was unknown what would become of the existing building due to the recent motor vehicle accident. The b= id amount was $128,300 to build a new 50ft.x50ft. building, three stall garage, with a 15ft.x30ft. interior storage area; a detailed list of what would be provided was also submitted. =
Mr. Gleason aske= d if anyone had reviewed the bid for adequacy such as the Town Building Inspector. Mr. Gaydos answered no; the bid ha= d just been received. He said they h= ad reviewed plans and drawings from the Building Inspector. Mr. Gleason asked if the bid was t= o the specifications without taking exceptions.&= nbsp; Mr. Gaydos said specifications weren't issued; the direction of the Board was to give general specifications. They were explicit to the bidders = that they should come up with what they thought would be a good project.
Mr. Lynde asked = if there were other costs. Mr. Gaydos answered yes, such as the landscaping, the status of the main building (including fixing code issues) and the septic system, all of which would be separate bids. Mr. Lynde asked when that information would be received. Mr. Gaydos said they were in the p= rocess of obtaining it now.
Mr. Viger asked = if the bid included electricity, heat, garage door openers etc. Mr. Gaydos answered yes; it was a turn-key building. He reviewe= d some of the other items contained in the bid.&n= bsp; Mr. Viger asked if the bid had an expiration date. Mr. Gaydos said the bidder looked forward to a timely response, but understood the situation. It was noted that nothing would be= done until (the decision of) Town Meeting. Mr. Gaydos believed it was understood that there wouldn't be a separate bidding in March.
Mr. Gleason, Mr.= Viger, Mr. McDevitt had no reports. =
Mr. Lynde report= ed that he attended the School Board meeting (last week) and expressed the Selectmen's concerns about the fees for the use of the schools. The School Board listened to the comments during public forum and had no discussion. Mr. Lynde said there was an attemp= t to have the School Board reconsider their prior action, but the rule of the Ch= air was they would have to wait until their next meeting to do so. He said the fee structure had been reduced from what they had previously seen. He anticipated they would revisit = the fees.
Mr. Haverty had = no report.

A riotous, bitingly funny, and supremely clever novel from one of our most distinctive voices in the English language.
The year is 1970, and Keith Nearing, a twenty-year-old literature student, is spending his summer vacation in a castle on a mountainside in Italy. The Sexual Revolution is in full-swing—a historical moment of unprecedented opportunity—and Keith and his friends are immediately caught up in its chaotic, ecstatic throes. Yet they soon discover a disturbing truth: between the death of one social order and the birth of another, there exists a state of liminal purgatory, once described by the Russian thinker Alexander Herzen as "a pregnant widow."
As Amis deftly explores the repercussions and consequences of that one summer, he presents us with a precise and poignant portrait of the liberating possibilities, and the haunting consequences, of change. Expertly written and full of wit and pathos, The Pregnant Widow is Amis at his fearless best.

The Dorchester
Arriving back at Heathrow in the early hours of Saturday, I then had a fast turnaround before travelling to Central London, to the Dorchester, for lunch. We met there at just after one o'clock and managed to make lunch last until five, before heading from Park Lane across to Chelsea.
The always friendly Dorchester was brightly decked out for Christmas, and the bright sunshine of day when we arrived gave way to the darkness and cold of early eveing by the time we left.

About Teaching the Guiding Principle
Humans can adapt to climate change by reducing their vulnerability to its impacts. Actions such as moving to higher ground to avoid rising sea levels, planting new crops that will thrive under new climate conditions, or using new building technologies represent adaptation strategies. Adaptation often requires financial investment in new or enhanced research, technology, and infrastructure.

About Teaching the Guiding Principle
Actions taken by individuals, communities, states, and countries all influence climate. Practices and policies followed in homes, schools, businesses, and governments can affect climate. Climate-related decisions made by one generation can provide opportunities as well as limit the range of possibilities open to the next generation. Steps toward reducing the impact of climate change may influence the present generation by providing other benefits such as improved public health infrastructure and sustainable built environments.

About Teaching Principle 7
Melting of ice sheets and glaciers, combined with the thermal expansion of seawater as the oceans warm, is causing sea level to rise. Seawater is beginning to move onto low-lying land and to contaminate coastal fresh water sources and beginning to submerge coastal facilities and barrier islands. Sea-level rise increases the risk of damage to homes and buildings from storm surges such as those that accompany hurricanes.

Hi, I am planning to write the T4 PC based exam in Feb, can anyone who wrote this exam / the teaching specialist give me more tips re:
1) If PC based, how many words would the marker expect that won't be considered as short? For paper base, I think is 2500 words; when I count the pass papers forPC base, looks like it is a good 7000 words of typing in 3 hours!?
2) How would you allocate your time? If I spend the first 30 minutes all math & appendix, and spend the rest 150 minutes writing would that be a risk am out of time? I want to spend the first 1 hours get all answers (include calculation) lay out the plan, then write non stop for rest of time. Does it sounds like a good plan? Meaning if 7000 words is to write in 150 words, that would be a real stretch....
3) I study the BPP T4 book, so follow strictly the format will I please the marker that it is a acceptable format, or a little of creativity / personal style is appreicated?
Thanks, may be more but this is it for now!

|FHWA > Engineering > Construction > Contract Admin > SEP-14 > SPECIAL EXPERIMENTAL PROJECT (SEP-14)
Printable version of this project (.pdf, 0.2 mb)
Alternative Pavement Bidding
Michigan Department of Transportation I-69 Design Build Finance Project Final Report
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) submitted a final SEP-14 report for the use of alternative pavement bidding on M-6 in August, 2001. The SEP-14 work plan was developed in September of 2000 to allow both the concrete and asphalt paving industries to compete for the paving work on M-6, a new limited access freeway near Grand Rapids, MI.
MDOT's typical process selects one pavement option early in the design based on the results of a life cycle cost analysis. The SEP-14 work plan permits MDOT to develop structurally equivalent concrete and hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavement cross sections for a project. HMA and concrete paving contractors are then allowed the opportunity to competitively bid on the project. This process is intended to increase competition which may result in more favorable bids for MDOT.
In 2008, MDOT requested to pilot an alternate pavement bidding program based on the original SEP-14 work plan developed for M-6. The pilot program allows a limited number of highway projects to proceed with an alternate pavement bidding component. In 2008 and 2009, the FHWA approved adding projects to the SEP-14 work plan developed for M-6. Several of these projects have since been removed as alternate pavement bidding candidate projects, and a list of all projects and their current status is provided in Exhibit 6.
This report provides detailed information on the alternate pavement bidding project along I-69 in St. Clair County. Additional reports will be provided as additional alternate pavement projects are completed.
I-69 Design Build Finance Project Background (MDOT Control Section 77024, Job No. 74766A)
MDOT selected a section of I-69 in St. Clair County to pilot a Design-Build-Finance (DBF) project that contained an alternate pavement bidding component. I-69 is the first project awarded since M-6 that contained an alternative pavement component. The I-69 DBF project reconstructed a six mile section of rural divided freeway, including the reconstruction of one interchange, pavement rehabilitation of an existing rest area, and rehabilitation of five structures.
The I-69 DBF project was awarded on September 2, 2008, and construction was completed in the fall of 2009. Concrete cross-overs were constructed in 2008, and the majority of the work was completed in 2009. The I-69 DBF project required the contractor to provide the financing of the project during construction. MDOT made a small initial payment to the contractor when the project was substantially completed. MDOT will continue to make small incremental payments every 3 months until November, 2011 (fiscal year 2012) when the balance of the contract will be paid.
I-69 DBF Project Procedures
Life Cycle Cost Analysis
To account for delays to the traveling public, MDOT incorporated lane rental costs into the project. Contractors were required to include a lump sum dollar amount in their bid that would reflect the cost of the delays to the public. MDOT provided the hourly rates contractors would be charged for each hour they had lane restrictions on I-69. Exhibit 3 contains the final lane rental special provision used on this project.
The I-69 project incorporated MDOT's frequently used special provisions for concrete and HMA paving, and for the material and workmanship warranty requirements (Exhibits 4 and 5).
Contracting Industry Involvement
A letter (See Exhibit 1) was provided to the Michigan Concrete Paving Association (MCPA), the Asphalt Paving Association of Michigan (APAM) and the Michigan Infrastructure and Transportation Associates (MITA) that detailed the development of the EUAC. This letter gave Michigan's contracting association's detailed information on how the EUAC equation was developed, and how it would be utilized in the I-69 DBF project. It also explained that user delay costs were determined by a lane rental pay item.
MDOT held a meeting with MCPA, APAM, and MITA to seek concurrence on the proposed alternate paving methodology. MCPA, APAM, and MITA had no objections to MDOT's proposed methods on the I-69 DBF project. The APAM stated that they believe the 26 year evaluation period currently used in MDOT's LCCA process should be a longer duration in order to adequately assess the actual maintenance costs on a pavement. However, APAM agreed this project should proceed per the current LCCA process. Exhibit 2 contains the minutes from this meeting.
I-69 Bid Evaluation
The final bids received were under the engineer's estimate. The low bid was $38,325,355. It is difficult to evaluate the effect of the alternate pavement component since only one paving industry submitted bids on the project, and the financing component of the project may have impacted the number of potential bidders.
MDOT does not believe the alternate pavement bidding component of the project added any significant cost to the development of the I-69 DBF contract. Additional internal costs to develop the alternate pavement bidding component were minimal because the project utilized design-build procurement. The procedures used on I-69 to determine the pavement sections are also performed on all MDOT trunkline reconstruction projects with pavement costs over $1,000,000. Therefore, the costs to develop the alternate pavement component would be similar to the costs needed to determine the final pavement on traditional project.
Final Evaluation of the I-69 Alternative Pavement Project
The I-69 project was constructed entirely with concrete pavement. The design build contractor has proposed several changes on the project related to the paving to accomplish this. The original contract specified temporary HMA cross-overs and an HMA overlay at the rest area. The contractor proposed to use temporary concrete cross-overs, and to whitetop the rest area. MDOT accepted both of these proposed changes. The contractor also proposed to change the transverse dowel bar spacing on the project. MDOT accepted this change and the project received a financial credit from the contractor for this work.
On February 9, 2009, MDOT held a post-award meeting with Michigan's contracting industries to discuss the I-69 DBF project, including the alternate pavement component. Contractors indicated that the method used to evaluate the concrete and HMA paving alternatives were clear. Industry did not offer any explanation or insight as to why only concrete paving contractors bid on the project.
To date, the MCPA has not voiced concerns with MDOT's alternate pavement bidding process, and supports the current process on future alternate pavement bid pilot projects. The APAM, at various meetings with MDOT, has reiterated their belief that the 26 year evaluation period currently used in MDOT's LCCA process should be a longer duration in order to adequately assess the actual maintenance costs on a pavement. MDOT has formed a technical committee to evaluate if changes are needed in the LCCA process, and is reviewing APAM's concern.
MDOT will continue to meet with industry on future alternative pavement projects.
Update on Other Alternate Pavement Bidding Projects
MDOT let an alternate pavement bid project on US-31 in Berrien County that was awarded on April 28, 2009. The contractor will use HMA for the pavement.
MDOT let a design-build alternate pavement bid project on I-475 in Genesee County that was awarded on December 16, 2009. The contractor will use concrete for the pavement.
MDOT let an alternate pavement bid project on I-94 in St Clair County that was awarded on December 16, 2009. The contractor will use concrete for the pavement.
A project on I-96 in Ingham County was originally selected to be an alternate pavement pilot project. This project was removed from consideration when the engineers estimate showed a cost difference of approximately $12 million between the two pavement alternatives. MDOT contacted MITA, APAM, and MCPA with this finding, and the project will be designed and let with only the concrete pavement option designed per MDOT's typical pavement selection procedures.
MDOT will provide addition reports on each alternative pavement project once additional projects are completed, or as requested by the FHWA. MDOT expects to gather a better understanding of the effects of the alternate pavement component as more projects are placed under contract. These findings will be detailed in future reports.

Our Worship
All regular worship services at St. Peter's are services of Holy Eucharist (meaning Thanksgiving), which is a form of liturgy (worship) handed down through the ages in the Church and is a service celebrated in two primary and equal parts: the first part is the Ministry of the Word which includes praise and adoration of God, readings from Holy Scripture (the Bible) followed by a full sermon, recitation of our beliefs (The Creed), prayers and intercessions for ourselves and others, the confession of our sins, the assurance of God's forgiveness and sharing in the Peace of God. The second part of the service is the Ministry of the Sacraments or Holy Communion, where we remember in liturgical forms not only the Last Supper of Jesus with his apostles, but also his life laid down for the world in his Crucifixion, and the Glory of his Resurrection. We participate in this by receiving Holy Communion, the Bread and the Wine as Jesus shared with the apostles, in which we believe Christ conveys to us his Real and abiding Presence. Following that we give thanks for the great gift we have received and hear the call of God for us to go out into the world to serve in Christ's Name. At the conclusion of most services, we have healing prayer teams available to pray with anyone in need.
Saturday: 5 PM Holy Eucharist (Rite II: Said)
This service is a peaceful and quiet service that includes a full sermon. It is typically 45 minutes in length and is an option for those who have other commitments on Sunday morning.
Sunday Mornings
Preceding and following each worship service is a time of fellowship on our central patio with coffee and fresh doughnuts. Our Sunday School hour is from 10 AM to 11 AM. Those children who normally attend our 11 AM service go to worship after Sunday School. Nearly every Sunday, we have an Adult Forum in our Parish Hall covering a variety of topics.
All children are welcome and encouraged to attend worship with their parents. However, should parents choose to utilize our nursery, it is available from 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM for children five and under. Our Nursery is staffed by child care professionals.
7:45 AM Holy Eucharist (Rite I: Said)
Our first service on Sunday morning employs Elizabethan English as set forth by the Book of Common Prayer's principal compiler and author, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. Parishioners of all ages attend this service who enjoy its quiet and gentle nature. This service is typically 45 minutes in length.
9 AM Holy Eucharist/Family Service (Rite II: Sung)
Our second service on Sunday morning employs a more contemporary form of liturgy, in style, language, and music. This is typically our largest service and parishioners spread across the full range of our population, from infants to seniors. While children are welcome at all our services, this service is especially designed to be child and family friendly, and is planned to meet the needs of children and adults alike. There are design elements particularly for children, including sermon time, after which there is an opportunity for our Holy Wigglers to go to the nursery. The children experience a great amount of freedom in and ownership of this service. For more information: Children in Worship.
On the 1st and 3rd Sundays of the month, the music is led by our Director of Music utilizing a wide variety of liturgical music. On the 2nd and 4th Sundays, the music is led by ReSound (Parish Band) borrowing a variety of influences from popular music genres. This service is normally 50 minutes in length, honoring the shorter attention span of our youngest members. Children's Church is held on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. During the singing of the Gloria in Excelsis, or the opening hymn, the children process to Children's Church for a Service of the Word particulary desinged for them, and the grown ups have an opportunity to hear the full-length sermon. The children return at the Offertory in time to receive the Holy Communion.
11 AM Holy Eucharst (Rite II: Sung)
Our final service on Sunday morning is a Choral Eucharist incorporating anthems, motets and other liturgical music offered by the Parish Choir and St Nicholas Choristers that draws upon the rich heritage of the English choral tradition. Once a quarter, and on major feasts, a Solemn Eucharist is offered in which the Parish Choir sings the full Mass (Ordinary and Proper) within the context of a fuller liturgical expression. While this service also meets the needs of every age group in our parish, it does not have the specific design elements that are contained in the 9 AM Family Eucharist. This service is normally a little more than an hour in length.
5 PM Choral Evensong (First Sunday of the Month)
Choral Evensong is offered utilizing the Book of Common Prayer, 1662. Originating from the monastic hours, this uniquely Anglican choral service combines the distinctive parts of Vespers and Compline as set forth by Archbishop Thomas Cranmer in the Book of Common Prayer, 1549. Evensong is sung by the Parish Choir, St Nicholas Choristers, and Friends and draws its music from the English choral tradition. Evensong is typically followed by a festive sherry reception in the Parish Hall.
11:30 AM Holy Eucharist at La Vida Del Mar
1:30 PM Holy Eucharist at Emeritus Residence
Every Sunday, lay and clergy members, take the Sacraments from our Sunday services to a local assisted living senior residential center. A full service, including a brief sermon, is provided.
7 AM Holy Eucharist (Rite II: Said)
A gently paced, quiet, and peaceful service which includes a brief homily. This service is typically 30 minutes in length and is followed by an interactive, hour-long Bible Study Group.
9:30 AM Holy Eucharist with the Sacrament of Healing (Rite II: Said)
This service uses a liturgy combining the Sacraments of Holy Unction (healing) and Holy Communion, including a Litany, special prayers for healing, and the Laying on of Hands and anointing with Oil of Unction. The service also includes a brief homily and is normally 45 minutes in length. It is followed by a fellowship and discussion group for our seniors.

Confessions of A Fast-Food Worker
No Salt
(excerpt from Confessions of a Fast-Food Worker, Pt. 1)
America, or maybe even the world, has a fascination with fresh fries. People can eat ham, pasta, or pizza cold. However, French fries have an entirely different set of rules. Eyes bulge and drool practically rolls down chins at the site of a full basket of fries rising out of hot grease. People loathe at glistening, golden-brown French fries sitting under a warming lamp with billowing steam and grease dripping of the basket.
Well, I considered myself a smart fry—no pun intended. It didn't take me too long to catch on to the fascination with fresh fries. I wrapped my mind around the concept and caught on to the customers who requested unsalted fries just to make sure the fries were fresh. Nine times out of ten, those same customers demanded salt packets, ripped them open, and showered the fries while he or she licked their lips. Serving a customer fresh fries, or what he or she perceived as such, wasn't an issue. Asking for unsalted fries just to get fresh fries added extra work to my underpaid workload. I had to place a big sheet of cooking paper over the salty fry bin then grab the clean fry scooper and strategically scoop fries without pushing them against the bin's salt-covered walls. Digging the scooper into the hot fry basket and carefully filling a fry box was another option. Sizzling drops of grease usually collided with my fingertips when I did the latter—latex gloves can't protect the hands from anything that is four-hundred degrees. Either way, I viewed the roundabout way to fresh French fries as an unnecessary, sneaky, asshole move, and it grinded my gears. I caught on to the trick and decided to play my own...
A calm, dark sky took the place of a rainy March day. The night brought balmy, high-speed breezes. The breezes whipped around the outside of the building and carried the scent of artery-clogging fast food great distances. The current pulled cars into the drive-thru, and, of course, Ronny's was understaffed. Yet again, I was overworked and underpaid as I tossed orders through the second window. The fast-food machinery went smoothly-enough until Chris, the guy taking drive-thru orders at the back window, yelled, "Order three fourteen wants fries no salt!"
"Fuck!" I checked the lobby for nearby customers and walked over to the fry dispenser. With bare hands, I grabbed a handful of frozen fries, dumped the fries into a basket then dropped the basket into the grease. I pressed the timer, hopped over to the heated landing, and waited for sandwiches to fly up from the grill.
Three orders came and went. Order 314 pulled up. I looked over the window ledge, into the eyes of a raggedy Beyoncé look-alike. I smiled. "Your fries'll be just another minute or two, okay?"
"No salt."
"Excuse me?"
"I wanted the fries with no salt."
"I know, ma'am. The guy in the back told me. That's why I'm waiting on them to come up."
"Okay, I was just making sure. No salt."
"I understand, ma'am."
"Honey, you don't have to get smart."
I make seven dollars an hour—I don't make enough to "get smart." "I'm sorry, ma'am. Didn't mean to sound smart. Your fries'll be up in just a moment. I don't like all the salt either, so I completely understand."
I love salt. It fixes everything.
I held her drink over the ledge. She wrapped her chubby fingers around the cup and pulled the cup from my grasp. I retracted my arm, closed the window then walked over to the fryer. A minute was left on the timer. My first instinct was to give the woman undercooked fries—I did this to customers sometimes. However, I was set on giving her just what she asked for, and to not have any problems doing so.
I dropped her sandwich into a bag then hurled the bag across the walkway, into the fry station. The bag slammed into the mirror above the fry bin and fell into the racks of salted fries waiting for departure. I leaned against the fry station. I wonder if she's…
The timer beeped. I pulled the basket up and forced myself through the extra steps of making a medium fry without salt: finding the clean scooper, scooping fries out of the hot basket then stuffing them into a medium fry box. Scolding-hot French fries tumbled over the sides of the box and grazed my poor, un-health-insured hands.
I dropped the medium, unsalted fry into the bag, carried the bag to the window, and held it over the ledge. The woman snatched the bag then looked inside. She pulled a few fries out and pitched them into her mouth. "Have a good day." I slid the window ¾ closed, hoping the roof of the woman's mouth suffered third-degree burns.
"Excuse me, honey."
I pushed thoughts of ignoring the woman aside, turned, and slid the window open. "Yes?"
Her mouth formed a circular shape and pulled air in to alleviate burning taste buds. "Gimme some salt packets."
Salt and pepper packets overflowed the bins beneath the drink station. "Well, ma'am, I don't think we got any salt. Let me look for you."
The woman's eyes drooped. The skin in her forehead wrinkled. Her lips tightened. "Huh?"
"I'll check the other bins, but I'm pretty sure somebody told me earlier when I got here that we were out of salt packets."
French fries without salt on them are just not right—Un-American. I might as well drink sugarless Kool-Aid.
The woman's eyes burned holes into the back of my shirt as I walked over to the front counter. Salt packets overflowed their bins beneath the registers. Aware the woman watched in suspense, I shook my head and moseyed back to the drive-thru window. "We don't have any."
The woman grunted. "You gotta be kidding me. Go check in the back. Ya'll can't be outta salt packets. There's probably some in the back—gotta be."
Lady, I got all day. "I'll be right back."
I walked to the break room, pulled my cell phone out of my jacket pocket, and scanned over new text messages. I strolled back toward the front counter, slid my phone into my pocket then stepped into the woman's view. "I'm sorry…" I shook my head. "But I didn't find any salt packets. I guess we actually are out."
The woman's eyes bulged like a deer in headlights. "You said you wanted fries no salt, right? I made sure there wasn't any salt on them. Hope I didn't misunderstand you."
The woman's nostrils flared. She hyperventilated then slammed her bag into her passenger side seat. "I just wanted'em fresh!"
You should be careful what you ask for. I smiled. "I'm sorry. I got fries over here with salt on'em if you've changed your mind. They kinda old, though."
Her head shook as she changed gears. "This is bullshit. Eating fries with no salt. I don't believe this."
Believe it, bitch. "I'm sorry, ma'am."
The woman pulled off as I slid the window closed and snickered. Eduardo, the manager, approached me. He had just walked back into the store from spending time with his mistress. He buttoned his top few shirt buttons then smiled. "What that lady mad about, man?"
I chuckled. "I told her we didn't have any salt packets."
"But we do, man—bunches and bunches."
"I know. She asked for fries no salt."
Felix shook his head. "And then she askin' for salt packets?"
I nodded. "Yup."
"I tell'em we don't have'n any salt packets too, sometimes. What wrong with your people, man? Why don't they just say'n they want'n hot fries?"
A customer approached the counter. Felix adjusted his collar, checked his fly and belt buckle then walked over to a register. I stepped up to the heated landing to prepare the next order.
Telling customers that asked for fries no salt we didn't have any salt packets became a regular occurrence. I did not feed the lie to customers in the lobby. They could easily peer over the counter and see the abundance of red salt packets. Through the drive-thru window, customers were at my mercy. I enjoyed the power, especially considering my wage.
Occasionally, a drive-thru customer parked and walked into Ronny's after being told the store was out of salt packets. Saying salt packets had been found and the bins had "just been stocked" was easy. The wanna-be-sneaky customer parked his or her car then walked all the way into the store. I did not.
The reactions and facial expressions when the horrible no-salt news hit the fan were phenomenal to say the least. Aside from countless stumped faces, comments of disbelief, and somber eyes, the most outrageous occurrence was from a man. The man did what the woman and so many other customers had done: demanded unsalted fries then asked for salt packets.
I told the man the store had run out of salt packets. Like a Major League Baseball player, he hurled his large-sized fry over the ledge. The greasy potato bullets slammed into my stained, red shirt. I jumped back as the man pulled off like a getaway driver in bank robbery. My lips curled into a Grinch-like smirk. My head turned side to side. You paid two dollars and some change for the fries, waited in line for several minutes, attempted to trick me into giving you fresh fries then hurl them over the ledge and drive off? Really socked it to me, huh?
My conscious spoke louder and more clearly as adulthood approached. I forked over however-many salt packets 'mannerable' customers requested. However, I kept the No Salt move in the fast-food arsenal for the rudest of the rude.

Market Basket workers to unions: Thanks, but no thanks
Jessi Couchon gets a shoulder ride from her Concord Market Basket co-worker, Anthony Webb, at a gathering in a parking lot in Tewksbury, Mass., to rally support for ousted CEO Arthur T. Demoulas on Friday. (DAVID LANE/UNION LEADER)
At one of the first large rallies at the company's distribution center in Tewksbury, Mass., Steve Paulenka, a facilities and operation manager who has been one of the leading voices in the protests, told union reps in the crowd to keep their "little index cards'' and stop trying to sign up store workers.
And on Monday, after it was announced that Paulenka and seven other senior managers were fired for organizing rallies and picket lines, Teamsters Local 25 - which represents more than 11,000 workers in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire - announced it was ready to help with free legal assistance.
"The Teamsters have reached out and offered to help us," said Trainor, who was picketing with warehouse workers in Tewksbury on Tuesday. "But that's not us, that's not who we are."

Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center Clinical Trials Protocol
Cancer Type: Rectal
Title: N1048: Phase II/III Trial of Neoadjuvant FOLFOX, for Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer Patients Undergoing Low Anterior Resection with Total Mesorectal Excision
Description: The standard treatment for locally advanced rectal cancer involves chemotherapy and radiation, known as 5FUCMT, (the chemotherapy drugs 5-fluorouracil/capecitabine and radiation therapy) prior to surgery. Although radiation therapy to the pelvis has been a standard and important part of treatment for rectal cancer and has been shown to decrease the risk of cancer coming back in the same area in the pelvis, some patients experience undesirable side effects from the radiation and there have been important advances in chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation which may be of benefit. The purpose of this study is to compare the effects, both good and bad, of the standard treatment of chemotherapy and radiation to chemotherapy using a combination regimen known as FOLFOX, (the drugs 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), oxaliplatin and leucovorin) and selective use of the standard treatment, depending on response to the FOLFOX. The drugs in the FOLFOX regimen are all FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approved and have been used routinely since 2002 to treat patients with advanced colorectal cancer.

Oranges, pineapple, and ice cold water. I tried to mix some kiwi into my pineapple and oranges and they were way too tart...probably not completely ripe. I'm still craving vanilla ice cream, but I've been able to steer clear of it as long as I have fresh fruit as an alternative. Never thought that would happen.
I'm also hitting up the local Jamba Juice, too. They have some tasty options that satiate my tropical cravings. Mango Mantra is still my favorite.

I for one am happy to see a leader who has the guts to stand up to the left wing special intrest groups. they have to much power like the unions, and the socalled poor who spend all there money on cigaretts and bingo and the artists who want tax money and the natives who want tax money because they think they were mistreated and the enviromentalists (David Suzuky) and the feminists who want more power, the anti-religious and anti-Americans who are in the NDP party. They are as I'm concerned all enemies of Canada.
