Arriving in Annapolis in an hour (6:30ish) - Hang out?
If anyone is interested in getting together for a drink or two this evening, I'd like to announce the arrival of Pelican in Annapolis in approximately one hour. We're going to pick up a mooring in Spa Creek, launch the dinghy, and kiss the ground once we're in. We're then going to grab dinner and then get hammered. It was a heck of a ride up the Delaware, and then the Chesapeake threw some pretty hefty fits too. Send an e-mail with your # to sailnet at ispmanage dot com and we'll figure out a place to go. It will have to be within walking distance of the dinghy dock (i.e. downtown or Eastport).
Some good eggs in that area... :)
Glad to hear all went well, the Delaware is always more nasty than nice.
Wish we could join, but I'm sure you'll find some like minded salty folk in town!. I'd recommend my favorite haunt, McGarvey's Saloon, just a stagger and a stumble away from the dingy dock on ego alley (order the mussels). Weather dependent, we're looking to pick up a ball this Saturday, how about a rain check?
Hey Congrats Chris! Glad you guys are safe and sound.
Saw this too late to do anything about, sorry Chris.
I'm off tomorrow, but moving my boat for haul out all afternoon. PM me and MMR if you are good for tomorrow.
Good run for you Labatt
I can confirm that Chris made it:
Chris, sorry we missed you. We arrived a couple hours ahead of you after a 25 mile thrash to windward. Got the last slip available in ego alley. Went to a pub to warm up, then crashed early and slipped out around 8 am after breakfast. We took a few loops around your boat, but it looked pretty quiet so we did not hale you.
Cheers, and well done!!
Are you still in town? I'm at City Dock ...
You should have hailed them... about six in the morning.. :)
Awwww you guys are making me hungry for a burger at Davis or pizza at Mangia's or better yet dinner at Lemon Grass! Just returned to MO after hauling the boat last week at Jabins in Back Creek. Stay warm and safe and enjoy downtown Annapolis! Nice photo of Pelican!

Johannesburg - An ANC heavyweight got more than he bargained for when he tried to "steal" Katlego Mphela's pretty partner, reports the Sowetan.
North West ANC deputy chairman China Dodovu tried to woo the girl at Club Moloko in Pretoria on Friday.
Bafana Bafana and Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela and Dodovu
were guests at Club Moloko in Pretoria for Tony's Crib fashion show.
Dubbed "Killer" because of his penchant for goals and running the opposition ragged, Mphela would have none of Dodovu's moves.
Eyewitnesses say a scuffle ensued between the two men.
It was only ended by the quick intervention of the bouncers, who
separated them.
Mphela also allegedly said that Dodovu always took his girlfriends.
Sources close to Dodovu said he and the woman, who is a student, started dating during the 2010 Soccer World Cup.
"Dodovu was shocked to see the woman with Mphela," said one witness.
Club Moloko manager Monty Denalane confirmed the incident.
"It was Katlego's friend who started all the trouble. He apparently
got angry because the other guy (Dodovu) was disturbing Katlego's
girlfriend. Our bouncers came and stopped the fight."
But Dodovu denied having a fight with Mphela.
He said he was not at the event and did not fight with anyone over a woman.
"I do not know what you are talking about. I am a happily married man
with children. I would never fight with anyone over any woman but my
wife. I have never met Katlego personally in my life."
Asked about what happened, Mphela first denied he was at Moloko.
Pressed for more answers, he said he was at the venue but did not have a
fight with anyone.
"I was just socialising with my friend," he said before saying no comment and dropping his phone.

As the French footballer and Arsenal legend Thierry Henry turned 37 on August 17, we at dna would like to wish him a very Happy Birthday and many more goals. The French striker was first noticed in 1990 by French first division side AS Monaco where he signed instantly when he was just 13 years old. In 1994 he made his French first division debut for Monaco against Nice and they lost 2-0. At that time he played under the-then manager Arsène Wenger, now manager of Arsenal. He won the French League with Monaco in the same year scoring nine goals in 36 matches. The skillful striker won his first cap for France in a World Cup warm-up match against South Africa.
He was a part of France's 1998 World Cup winning squad, scoring three goals in the first round, and beating Brazil in the finals.
Henry joined Arsenal on August 3, 1999 for a club record fee of £11 million at the time, from Juventus. It was at Arsenal that he started playing as a striker converting from a winger. After that, the former Arsenal striker stayed on with the club for eight years scoring 228 goals going on to become one of the greats. His name became synonymous with the club. He emerged as the top goal-scorer for almost every season in the English Premier League. He became a world class striker under the mentorship and tutelage of long time and current manager Arsene Wenger.
- Henry won two league titles and three FA Cups with the Gunners
- Was nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year twice
- Was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year twice
- And the FWA Footballer of the Year three times
- Henry spent his final two seasons with Arsenal as club captain, leading them to the 2006 UEFA Champions League Final
- He was also voted Football Writers' Association player of the year
He left Arsenal In June 2007 to move to Barcelona. In 2010, he joined the New York Red Bulls of the Major League Soccer. He returned to Arsenal on loan for two months in 2012. In 2013 Henry with the New York Red Bulls won the MLS Supporters' Shield.

Perfect Place to Stay
Location, location, location!
We are condo owners ourselves and had hoped for more local information, maps, coupons etc at the condo. We had to go out and scrounge them from the hotel etc. There was also no information about availability of the resort amenities since the owners are members.
However the condo was clean and all the basic necessities are there. We would stay there again.
We are in the process of putting together the information that you are suggesting. So far we have a map of the area, scorecards for all of the Pinehurst Resort courses and the guest rate schedule for member's guests at the Pinehurst Resort courses. We are also in the process of collecting menus from local restaurants. We'll add coupons to our search, too.
From the Owner
"We bought it simply because of its great condition and excellent location. It is directly across from the Harness Track and Fair Barn and within a half mile of the main clubhouse at Pinehurst Resort."

Any time of the year, you may find yourself at a get-together where alcohol will be part of the festivities. If you have psoriasis, can you still enjoy alcoholic drinks without risking a flare-up?
If you have psoriasis or psoriatic arthritis, consider skipping alcohol entirely or limiting drinks to just one or two. Alcohol can trigger a psoriasis flare, interfere with drugs you're taking and slow or even halt remission. For some patients, psoriasis often improves after they stop drinking, says Dr. Alexa Boer Kimball, vice chair of Massachusetts General Hospital's dermatology department in Boston. Cutting back on alcohol also benefits your overall health, she notes.
If you do decide to drink, have a moderate amount.
But what is moderate and how much is too much? Here's advice from "Dietary Guidelines for Americans," published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
Here are some tips for enjoying holiday cheer without overindulging.
In addition, alcohol may interact with certain types of drugs. Check with your doctor about your particular prescriptions.

I have noticed that there have been a lot of comments on the Neowin news articles vehemently supporting Windows 8, while in the Forums there seems to be some optimism about the platform, but not to the same degree as the News comments and the arguments seem to be fairly balanced for/against arguments rather than just blind support (eg: "I bet you are wrong."... but no justification for it).
Upon further inspection, I've noticed that most of these users that are doing this, have 1 post or very low post counts, but none of their posts come up in search because they have all been made in News articles, none of their posts were made on the Forums, so it obscures their background (as Neowin's search engine doesn't cover news comments).
I have a strong suspicion that the reason for this pattern is because Neowin is being attacked by a Viral Marketing firm with a pro-Windows 8 agenda.
Could the Neowin admins please investigate this and see if there are any patterns regarding their IP address, browser, comment history etc. to see if this is the case?

Originally written on Steelers Depot | Last updated 11/8/14
Pittsburgh Steelers unrestricted free agent safety Ryan Mundy was in for a visit with the New York Giants on Thursday and it appears as if a deal is close to being struck. According to Mike Garafolo of USA Today on Twitter, the Giants could have a deal finalized with Mundy sometime on Thursday. Mundy has been with the Steelers ever since he was drafted in the sixth round of the 2008 draft out of West Virginia. While mostly being counted on to play special teams, he has started at both the strong and free safety spots in the past due to injuries. Mundy played in all 16 games in 2012 and Read more [...]

Senate Appropriators Review FY 2016 Department of Energy Request: ITER, Nuclear Waste
"The Chairman and I were seeing little benefit from our participation in ITER" Senate Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) said at a hearing on the Department of Energy's FY 2016 budget request. Feinstein's remark was addressed to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz, referring to misgivings she and Chairman Lamar Alexander (R-TN) have had about the experimental fusion reactor during last year's development of the FY 2015 appropriations bill.
Important Appropriations Hearing for Energy Secretary Moniz
House Energy and Water Development Appropriations Subcommittee Chairman Mike Simpson (R-ID) got right to the point: "while it was great to see some of the Department of Energy funding increases proposed, since they were not actually the result of making the tough choices needed in this fiscal environment, we cannot realistically use this request as a true measure of need or priorities." Simpson's remarks were addressed to Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz at the start of a February 26 subcommittee hearing on DOE's FY 2016 request.
Energy Secretary Moniz Appears Before House Science Committee on FY 2016 Request
Key Senator to Hold Nuclear Energy Hearings
Energy Sciences Coalition Urges Congress to Confirm DOE Nominations
The Energy Sciences Coalition, a broad based coalition of organizations representing scientists, engineers, and mathematicians in universities, industry and national laboratories, sent a November 25 letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) requesting that the Senate move promptly to confirm Franklin M. (Lynn) Orr, Jr. and Marc Kastner to serve as Under Secretary for Science and Energy and Director of the Office of Science at the Department of Energy (DOE). It has been approximately a year since President Obama made these two nominations.
Science Highlighted in New Department of Energy Strategic Plan
What priority does science have at the Department of Energy? What are DOE's science goals, and how should the Department measure its progress in reaching these goals? A newly-released Department of Energy Strategic Plan answers these and many other questions.
DOE Report Recommends New Approach for Disposal of Defense Nuclear Waste
A new report by the Department of Energy (DOE) recommends a strategy for the permanent underground disposal of defense high-level radioactive waste and spent fuel. Under this plan, waste material from atomic energy defense activities would be placed in a separate mined depository or deep boreholes.
FY 2001 Dept. of Energy Appropriations Bill:
Inertial Confinement Fusion Fusion research is funded in two different parts of the Department of Energy's budget. FYI #73 provided the committee report (H.Rpt. 106-693) language for the fusion energy science component of H.R. 4733, which is a program under the department's Office of Science. Inertial confinement fusion funding is in the weapons activities part of the bill. The report language on inertial confinement fusion, including an important condition regarding future funding for the National Ignition Facility, follows.
FY 2001 Dept. of Energy Appropriations Bill Set for House Floor Action
If all goes as scheduled, the House of Representatives will consider the FY 2001 Energy and Water Development Appropriations Bill this week. This legislation, H.R. 4733, provides funding for the Department of Energy's Office of Science.
H.R. 4733 provides more funding than was requested for fusion energy sciences and the total requested funding for the High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics programs. The Basic Energy Sciences program took a major hit, primarily in the reduction from the requested level of funding for the Spallation Neutron Source.
Department of Energy Hearings Underway Federico Pena continues to await his confirmation as the next Secretary of Energy.
The Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee was scheduled to vote on his nomination on February 26, with the full Senate to vote after that. Reports indicate that this vote was delayed, in part, because of an impasse between Senator Frank Murkowski (R-AK) and the administration over nuclear waste storage. In anticipation of Senate approval, Pena appeared before the Senate Armed Services Committee on February 5 to share his views on DOE's national security mission.

FHWA and AMS Advance the State of the Art in Accident Data Collection
FHWA is conducting research on developing an expert system for crash data collection. Enhanced accident data collection techniques that employ an expert systems approach are being developed. The purpose of the effort is to demonstrate how the quality and utility of police reported accident data can be improved by using the knowledge of experts (accident reconstructionists, safety analysts, etc.) to guide users through selected parts of the on-scene data collection process. The American Management Systems (AMS) has entered into an agreement with FHWA to link the expert system modules being developed into AMS' existing accident data collection software. The joint effort between the two organizations will advance the state of the art in police accident data collection.
Police officer uses OIM software to collect accident data.
AMS' software, called Officer Information Manager (OIM), is currently being used in several State and local police jurisdictions to capture data at the scene of traffic accidents. In another FHWA effort, advanced data collection technologies (pen-based computers, global positioning systems, and geographical information systems) used in Iowa, New Jersey, Washington, and Wisconsin have been evaluated from a benefit/cost perspective. At these test locations, police officers are using AMS' OIM software on pen-based computers to capture accident data.
A combined FHWA and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) effort, the ALERT (Advanced Law Enforcement Response Technology) project, incorporates both hand-held and in-vehicle computers to store and transmit crash data more quickly to State records, databases, or officer's base stations. For more information on the ALERT project contact Dave Smith at (202) 366-6614.

Vehicle Travel Information System Data Base Released to States
A computer data base management system for vehicle classification and truck weight data has been disseminated to States. The Vehicle Travel Information System (VTRIS) is a Windows-based system for managing data from automatic vehicle classifiers (AVC) and weigh-in-motion (WIM) systems in accordance with the procedures of the Traffic Monitoring Guide. In addition to data management capabilities, VTRIS validates and summarizes AVC and WIM data. Several printed reports are available, including summaries of loads by vehicle type and roadway functional class. Additional reports are planned for future releases of VTRIS.
The VTRIS can manage information from weigh-in-motion systems such as this one.
With the increasing use of permanent AVC and WIM systems, States are struggling with the large amounts of data now available. One WIM station can generate over 100 megabytes of data in a year. An advantage of VTRIS is that many reports can be produced from a one-time summary process.
FHWA's Travel Monitoring Division conducted VTRIS workshops in Springfield, Massachusetts, in December 1995, and in Washington, DC, in June 1996. Another workshop is planned for November 1996, in Washington, DC, in conjunction with the annual Highway Information Seminar.

State Commercial Vehicle Safety Inspectors Compete for Top Honor
Demonstrating what they and their colleagues do two million times a year at random roadside safety checks throughout the country, several State commercial vehicle safety inspectors took part in FHWA's fourth annual international inspectors' competition. Assembled in Columbus, Ohio, in August were 53 of them from the United States, Canada, and Mexico, representing the best their States or provinces had. For 5 days, they combed vehicles for planted defects, interviewed "drivers" with doctored paperwork, and took a battery of knowledge tests.
Participants vie for best truck inspector at competition in Ohio.
Perhaps best of all in the opinion of many of them, they shared their knowledge and techniques with each other. At the end, they crowned a grand champion: South Carolina Trooper Alonzo Hutto (center in awards photo). Coupled with many of the other Federal and State safety programs, the inspectors' competition is paying off in decreasing fatality rates for crashes involving heavy commercial vehicles as well as promoting uniformity of inspections throughout North America.

Planning and Environmental Resources Catalog Being Published
FHWA's Office of Environment and Planning, working with its FTA counterparts, has just completed production of a Planning and Environmental Resources Catalog. Jointly prepared as a service to our planning and environment customers, the catalog is a guide to the vast array of resources, both human and informational, that we have developed in support of transportation planning and environment enhancement. It is part of a multi-faceted strategy to ease the difficulty our customers have in obtaining assistance on technical issues, as well as matters of policy and guidance.
Included in the catalog are the many products and services developed by FHWA and FTA since the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act (ISTEA) of 1991 and the Clean Air Act Amendments significantly changed the business practices of transportation planning and the environment. Specifically, customers will find information on the availability of reports, videos, course handbooks, training, on-line data bases and statistics, conference proceedings, and Federal personnel. Users will find information sorted by air quality; environmental, social, and resource impacts; transportation financing; and general, statewide, and metropolitan planning.
The catalog is now being printed, and hard copies will be distributed this fall to FHWA and FTA field staff, State DOT's, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, transit operators, and State and local air quality professionals. The catalog's data base will also be available on-line along with an electronically accessible version of many of the documents it references. This on-line data base will be used to produce future catalogs, newsletters, and other real-time information resources for the transportation planning and environment community nationwide.

TFHRC Participates in Vehicle-Infrastructure Interaction Conference
Last summer, the Engineering Foundation Conference on Vehicle-Infrastructure Interaction was held at the Bahia Hotel and Conference Centre in San Diego, California. Some of the participants there were Professor Bohdan Kulakowski, Director of the Pennsylvania Transportation Institute; Dr. Wei-jun Wang, Truck-Pavement Interaction (TPI) research team member; Jamel Hammouda, TPI research team member; Dr. M. El-Gindy, senior research officer of the National Research Council of Canada, loan staff at TFHRC, and Executive Editor of the International Journal of Heavy Vehicle Systems; Dr. Edward Fekpe, research scientist at Bettelle Memorial Institute; Dr. John de Pont, senior research scientist at New Zealand Industrial Research; and Professor Y. Sato of Japan. Byron Lord of FHWA was a key note speaker and presented the results of FHWA's truck size and weight scanning study tour of North America and Europe.
The conference co-chairs were Professor Kulakowski and Dr. de Pont. The conference brought together research experts in the areas of vehicles, railways, pavements, and bridges to exchange views on the state of the art and future needs for vehicle-infrastructure interaction. Dr. El-Gindy was also invited to chair a session on Transportation Economy. Nine non-concurrent technical sessions formed this conference. The presented papers will be submitted for review to Dr. de Pont, Guest Editor of Heavy Vehicle Systems, and the accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the journal.

Advanced Rural Transportation Systems Being Planned
Efforts to study and deploy Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) along the rural transportation system were accelerated this past year. From a broad perspective, a crosscutting team of U.S. DOT staff are developing a Strategic Plan for Advanced Rural Transportation Systems (ARTS). This team, affectionately known as the Rural Action Team, includes representatives from FHWA (R&D, ITS Joint Program Office, and Safety and System Applications), National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Strategic Plan, which will provide a foundation for all future ARTS activities, is scheduled to be published in the Federal Register this fall so the transportation community can have an opportunity to provide comments.
Several specific rural ITS projects are also taking place, including two field tests: one to assess the use of satellite communications for mayday systems and the other to develop a portable surveillance and delay advisory system for work zones. Additional projects include a technology scan to identify successful, low-cost rural technology and a study of the use of enhanced radar detectors as a means of displaying warning messages inside a vehicle that were transmitted from the roadside or another vehicle.

Underwater Evaluation and Repair of Bridge Components: Training Developed
Since 1988 when the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) were modified to require underwater inspections as part of comprehensive bridge inspection programs, serious conditions have been found at many structures. Today, substructure repairs in water are routinely being made by many bridge owners. To assist State DOT's in planning, designing, and accomplishing underwater repairs in the most effective manner, FHWA's Office of Technology Applications (OTA) has developed Demonstration Project 98, "Underwater Evaluation and Repair of Bridge Components," and is now accepting requests for presentations.
Diver conducts a video inspection of a badly deteriorated concrete pile.
This year, the 2-day DP98 program has been presented to State highway agencies from Maine to Louisiana to Alaska, and a special session was held this past June at the International Bridge Conference in Pittsburgh. In conjunction with DP98, a special shortened version of DP80, "Underwater Inspection of Bridges," was presented to some States to demonstrate new techniques and equipment and train inspection personnel hired since the original DP80 sessions were offered in 1989 to 1990.
DP98 is intended for inspectors and engineers involved with bridge evaluation, bridge repair, and design of repairs. The training includes a review of mechanisms of deterioration, underwater condition surveys, evaluation of underwater deterioration, and underwater repairs. Samples of various underwater construction materials are available for examination. Demonstrations of underwater non-destructive testing techniques and the effects of using concrete admixtures are included. Project personnel are also available to assist States in special investigations and projects. Contact OTA to schedule DP98 or DP80.

Research Added to the 1997 Environmental Excellence Awards Program
With entries received by September 15. 1996, FHWA is getting ready for its 1997 Environmental Excellence Awards Program. The program was established as a way of recognizing and thanking our partners. The projects, processes, and people nominated for these awards are examples of some of the outstanding work being done to build an efficient, effective intermodal transportation network that fits harmoniously with our natural environment, our neighborhoods, and our communities. For 1997, the Environmental Excellence Awards Program has two categories.
The Distinguished Environmental Achievement category is designed to honor the human element, our partners who demonstrate a commitment to incorporating environmental stewardship into the planning and project development process. This award recognizes people in three specific areas: leadership, process (efforts that result in time or money savings), and research (efforts that address environmental concerns in developing transportation solutions). This is the first time the award program will recognize creative research efforts being done in the area of transportation and the natural environment.
The Environmental Enhancements category recognizes the outstanding transportation projects and processes that use FHWA funding sources in non-motorized transportation, habitat, water quality, wetland preservation, historic and archeological preservation, roadside vegetation management, noise abatement, air quality improvement, and community cohesion. The winners will be announced at the 1997 Earth Day Celebration in Washington, DC.

Technology Transfer
NHI Reinforces Its Partnerships with Industry
The National Highway Institute (NHI) took another important step towards strengthening its partnership with U.S. industry on June 26, when NHI met with the board of directors of the Asphalt Recycling and Reclaiming Association (ARRA) to discuss new ways of cooperation. The board members were welcomed by William F. Brown, Chief of NHI's University, Industry, and International Programs Division. William L. Williams, NHI's Coordinator for International Activities, discussed NHI's programs with the group.
ARRA board members (l to r) Jim Halverson, Michael Brown, Michael Krissoff, and John Rathbun discuss partnering endeavors with NHI staff.
The presentation was followed by a vigorous discussion on different possibilities of enhancing cooperation between ARRA and NHI. Some of the ideas discussed were cost sharing for future training courses and greater involvement of ARRA in selecting instructors and experts for relevant courses. It was also suggested that NHI review ARRA's research papers to explore topics for new training courses of potential interest to the U.S. industry.
The guests were also very interested in hearing about a recent partnering endeavor between NHI and Hoffman International, resulting in a pioneering hot mix asphalt training course in Russia. It was based on already existing NHI/National Asphalt Pavement Association training courses and materials that were translated into Russian and adapted to Russian conditions. The participants felt that this highly successful experience could serve as a model for further partnering efforts between NHI and the U.S. industry.

Public/Private Partnership Develops Hi-Tech Winter Maintenance Vehicle
Iowa, Michigan, and Minnesota have formed a consortium to develop an advanced vehicle for winter highway maintenance. The vehicle will battle the elements of winter by performing complex snow and ice control operations using a navigation system, on-board computer and data recorders, sensors and automatic attachment controls, an automatic vehicle location system, and an advanced communications system.
The project used a unique method of involving private industry. First, focus groups were held in each State with field maintenance personnel (mechanics, vehicle operators, supervisors, etc.) and other customers who rely on snow removal equipment (State highway patrol and emergency responders). The focus groups identified problems and concepts, defined functional requirements, and developed the levels of design for the vehicle. From these meetings, 640 items were identified. They were gathered into a list of six major categories. The three States then went to their private sector suppliers and other interested developers, provided the list to them, and invited them to propose solutions. Products from the Strategic Highway Research Program and other research sources were also examined for technologies beneficial to the project.
Next, a meeting was held at which 14 private companies presented proposals to the three States. The technologies were reviewed for field readiness, and each State picked the technologies and vendors of interest to them. The States selected such unique technologies as an incremental power booster, surface temperature sensor, vehicle weight sensor, and a continuous friction measuring device. The last phase was budget development. Vendors were asked to contribute personnel and loaned or donated equipment. Each State donated a truck equipped with underbody and wing mount plows, a v-box, and a spreader. The vendors agreed to donate over $276,000 worth of loaned equipment and staff time to equip the vehicles.
The trucks were to be equipped by November 1 and will be tested by experienced snow plow operators over the winter snow and ice season. An evaluation team has been formed and includes representatives from the private sector companies and the States. After the initial tests and feasibility studies are conducted, either another prototype will be developed or the States may choose to equip 10 trucks each for further evaluation. The Center for Transportation Research and Education at Iowa State University is the principal investigator and facilitator for the meetings and the project.

Innovative Construction Contracting is Subject of Workshop
The use of alternative or innovative contracting procedures is becoming more widespread in highway construction contracting. In a climate of shrinking public funds and smaller government, public owners are being asked to do more with less. State highway agencies are increasingly turning to contracting methods designed to reduce project delivery time and shift more responsibility for workmanship and quality to the contractor.
As part of an FHWA research contract to investigate innovative contracting practices that are currently being used or developed, FHWA held a 2-day workshop last summer in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The workshop brought together 40 recognized experts and interested parties from State highway agencies, highway consulting firms, associations, suppliers, academia, and law firms. The objectives of the workshop were to present case studies of alternative or innovative contracting methods, obtain feedback from the participants concerning each method, generate discussion regarding ways to improve these methods, and develop new contracting approaches. Among the contracting methods covered in the workshop were design-build, lane rental, multi-parameter bidding, indefinite delivery, construction warranties, performance-related specifications, value engineering, and partnering.
Under the FHWA research contract, the research contractor for this project will prepare instructional users guides for those methods or combinations of methods identified as having the greatest potential for improving construction quality. A final report will also be available shortly after completion of the contract in February 1997.

yummy raw pad thai
yummy raw pad thai
so good. Im eating the leftovers for lunch now
This pad thai-inspired raw food salad is hearty enough to serve as an entree. the flavor really comes from the freshly chopped cilantro, so whatever you do, don't substitute the raw fresh cilantro for dried. It just won't be the same if you do!
2 zucchinis, sliced into strips with a vegetable peeler
2 large handfuls of bean sprouts, approx 2 cups
3/4 cup chopped nuts (use almonds, peanuts or cashews)
1 red or yellow bell pepper, sliced into strips
4 green onions, diced
1/2 cup fresh chopped cilantro
juice from one lime
1 tablespoon raw olive oil
1/4 tsp sea salt
Toss all ingredients together in a bowl until well coated. Add a dash more salt if desired and enjoy!
Ooo, simple and easy. Thanks!

Sometimes art can touch what intellectual debates only circle, but that touch can cause searing pain.
Compared to Keats, Marcel Proust, and even to "Bob Dylan, William Shakespeare, Pablo Neruda and James Dean rolled into one," Krzysztof Kamil Baczyński was passionate, erotic, heroic, idealistic and incomparably prolific. His life and his art were one, his death made him legend.
Martin Grzadka is a pragmatic, successful businessman who loves to promote Canada-Poland business. But when he writes about his feelings when the national anthems of his native land and his adopted country were played in the presence of the two countries' heads of state, well you can almost hear the heartbeats.

Brian Pareschi
Brian Pareschi and The BP Express is the premier recording of trumpeter and composer/arranger Brian Pareschi's octet/nonet The BP Express. This mid-sized ensemble features a talented group of prominent New York-based jazz musicians and features the concerted, powerful, yet intimate sound and scope of the ensemble writing and playing. An eclectic mix of originals and standards embracing many styles and influences, this recording marks the starting point for this group.
Brian Pareschi Music
Here is a catalog of many of my original pieces arranged for The BP Express and the Brian Pareschi Jazz Orchestra, and other instrumentations available for purchase. This library includes many originals and select arrangements for ensembles ranging from quintet up through nonet, as well as full big band. Also I am proud to make available some of my brass quintet music. For a complete catalog of compositions/arrangements/orchestrations, please contact me directly here.
As we enter a new year, I am proud and pleased to announce the arrival of my first recording as a leader, Brian Pareschi and The BP Express. On many levels, this marks a milestone in my career as both a jazz musician and as a writer. This recording is now available on both my website, and in all major digital media stores, and tracks the development of my mid-sized jazz ensemble, The BP Express, over the past few years. This ensemble's work covers everything from straight ahead jazz, bop, brazilian, and composed material drawing from a wide range of influences. Much of the material written for this ensemble is very challenging. This is just the beginning for this group, and I look forward to the growth and development of it's unique voice. I have written and/or arranged everything on the CD.
Reviews for Brian Pareschi and the BP Express are starting to come in! And we're getting a lot of airplay nationally, climbing the JAZZWEEK charts.
This is the premiere release from trumpeter Pareschi with his octet/nonet BP Express. Pareschi is a well-known player, sideman, composer and arranger, and sells his own sheet music and scores on his Web site. This nine-track release is efficient and sharp as a razor. The program is a mixed bag of hard-bop, Latin, African and two or three other styles, along with standards like "I Cover the Waterfront." Pareschi's full, sometimes crooning tone may make you think of Clifford Brown or Woody Shaw. Pareschi is obviously taking his new group out for a spin—looks like a successful maiden voyage.
- Bruce Collier-The Beachcomber-
My new CD Brian Pareschi and The BP Express, presents a combination of originals and standards, and features an all-star lineup of jazz musicians, and is now available on all major digital media and through this website starting January 5, 2015. I have started to book performances with this group The BP Express at clubs in and around NYC. Check the events page for more information.
I am really looking forward to this year on many levels. The broadway show I have been a part of for the last two years, Motown, will be coming to an end January 18 of this year. I'm looking forward to having more time to write for The BP Express, and perform with this group, and work more with my quintet, which is slated to record in the late fall. I also have a previous recording dating back to 2006, with The BP Express, that I am planning on releasing shortly.
I am also excited to make available to you a catalog of my music in pdf form. Many of the charts for The BP Express are available here, as well as my original library for the Brian Pareschi Jazz Orchestra, and much more. There are small group charts of all instrumentations and brass quintet originals and arrangements.
I just recorded an interview with Joe Dimino for his Neon Jazz Interview series. The interview is featured on a well-received iTunes Podcast Channel and the Neon Jazz radio program running on the weekends out of Kansas City, MO.
Here's a link to an interiew I did recently with Joe Dimino, running a weekly jazz show on saturdays out of Kansas City, MO. The interview date is 1/16/15. Famous Jazz Interviews is a wonderful podcast that features emerging and established jazz musicians, their lives, stories, experiences, and what they are doing. Check it out!

Francis Paul Prucha
|Francis Paul Prucha
|January 4, 1921
River Falls, Wisconsin
|Priest, Professor, Historian
|Roman Catholic (Society of Jesus)
Francis Paul Prucha (born January 4, 1921) is an American Jesuit, historian, and professor emeritus of history at Marquette University.[1] His work The Great Father was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize, and is regarded as a classic among professional historians.
Prucha was born on January 4, 1921, in River Falls, Wisconsin, the first son to Edward J. and Katharine Prucha and the older brother of John J. Prucha. He graduated from River Falls High School at the age of 16 in 1937 as Paul Prucha and was then educated at Wisconsin State Teachers College, at River Falls, which awarded him a Bachelors of Science degree in 1941. After a year and a half of high school teaching and then three and a half years of service in the United States Army Air Force, he enrolled in the University of Minnesota and received an M.A. degree in 1947. Harvard University awarded him a Ph.D. degree in history in 1950 under the direction of Frederick Merk.[2] His dissertation, a study of the role of the peacetime army in the settlement process, was published in 1953 as Broadax and Bayonet: The Role of the United States Army in the Development of the Northwest, 1815-1860.[3]
Prucha joined the Society of Jesus in 1950 and was ordained in 1957 after studying at Saint Louis University and Saint Mary's College in St. Marys, Kansas. Three years later he began teaching at Marquette and is remembered by generations of alumni as a model of the teacher-scholar. Since 1960 he has been on the history faculty at Marquette University. He has served as visiting professor at the University of Oklahoma and at Harvard and was the Gasson Professor at Boston College.[3] When the editor of Marquette Magazine recently asked readers to write about their greatest teachers, Father Prucha was identified among a group of classroom legends."Of all the teachers I've had," wrote Richard Hryniewicki (A&S '61, MA '63), "Father Prucha did the most to instill a love of learning, a quest for knowledge, and practicing work ethic."[4]
In the late 1960s, while studying under a Guggeheim Fellowship, Prucha began work on a comprehensive history of U.S. Indian policy. His research culminated with the two-volume The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians. The book was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in history in 1985 and is regarded as a classic among professional historians.[5] The Great Father was awarded the Billington Prize by the Organization of American Historians in 1985. The recipient of six honorary degrees, Prucha was awarded his emeritus appointment in 1988.
Father Prucha is also the author or editor of 25 other books of numerous articles, and scores of book reviews. He is known internationally for his expertise on the American West and United States policy towards Native Americans. Prucha also helped to establish Marquette's rich research collections documenting Catholicism among Native Americans. As a tribute to Prucha, Marquette University's Archives and Special Collection's reading room in its newly constructed Raynor Library was named in his honor.[6] Father Prucha was also inducted into the Milwaukee Central Library's Wisconsin Writers Wall of Fame.[7]
Prucha currently resides in the Jesuit Residence on Marquette University's campus.

Pre employment tests should be an important part of any hiring process. They objectively assess proficiency and give employers quick results. Good pre-employment assessment software will help eliminate guesswork and ensure that you find the right person for the job the first time. Spending on employment testing rose about 20 percent in the US last year to between 1.5 and $2 billion annually (Workforce.com). One reason for this increase might be that organizations … read more

Amazing vintage Ben Bowden Spacelander bike can be yours for just £27,000
Creation of influential British designer; only 522 were ever made
Previous News
Next News
Fancy owning an extraordinary piece of cycling history? This amazing-looking machine is a 1960 Ben Bowden Spacelander and if you can't live without it, it'll set you back a cool $42,000 (£27,000) from eBay seller Bike Blue Classic USA.
Benjamin Bowden was the car designer and engineer responsible for the Healey 2.4, the first post-WWII 100mph production car, but like Mini suspension designer Alex Moulton after him, he was fascinated by the idea of improving the bike.
In 1946 he showed his Bicycle of the Future at the Britain Can Make It exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum, to public acclaim and amazement.
His patent said he had just intended to "provide improvement of aesthetic and practical character" of the bike, but many features of the bike that became the Spacelander were radical departures for the time.
The frame was made from two steel clamshell halves welded together into a monocoque and the front fork and mudguard was all one piece. The prototype had a shaft drive, a suspension fork, and batteries inside the frame powered lights, a horn, and a built-in radio.
It was far too radical for the deeply conservative British bike industry of the day. Bowden moved to the US to seek backing for the bike and over a decade later, in 1960, the production Spacelander was built in Michigan with a fibreglass frame and more conventional chain drive.
By then its swoopy lines, harking back to the streamlining and tail fins of 1940s and '50s American cars looked distinctly dated, and only 522 were made before the company went bust.
Ben Bowden continued to work as a designer until he retired from coordinating designs for military tanks at General Dynamics in 1986 aged 79. He never really recovered from the failure of the Spacelander, even though he could take heart from the widespread use of pressed steel construction in scooters and mopeds that the Spacelander inspired. He died in 1998.
According to the ad, this Spacelander is: "A marvel of mid-century post war aerospace design, this bicycle is a must-have for any collector."
We'll have a modern replica in carbon fibre please. Baby blue, of course.

Looks brilliant! Leads me to wonder what you could do these days in carbon fibre. You could make something which is light, streamlined, and integrates mudguards into the frame and forks in one piece.
two wheels good; four wheels bad

So I got the product for very dry to dry combination skin and I think it's great! My face feels very moisturized and it stays moisturized all day. It's especially nice after exfoliating and it makes my skin look and feel very healthy. The only negative thing I can possibly say is that it's ridiculously expensive!

I have normal skin which tends to become dryer in winter, and so I got myself Moisture Surge Intense a couple of months ago after hearing some good feedback about it. My conclusions:
It does moisturize very well and my skin really loves it. However, it is heavy, it does not get absorbed fast and therefore I never use it as a day moisturizer, but ONLY at night. First I felt disappointed that I won't be able to use it in my morning skincare routine, but actually I still love it because after applying it at night, my skin still feels soft and very well moisturized in the morning (I just use tiny bit of another super light moisturizer before my make-up).
I'd say give it a try and use it as a night recovery product rather than moisturizing day cream if it's a bit too greasy on your skin. It is a good product overall and it did help my skin a lot this winter.

I you like the feel of petroleum jelly on your face -- this is for you.
I received this product as a sample, and I am so glad I did not purchase it. It contains a significatnt amount of petrolatum that makes it feel incredibly greasy. I will not wear it on my face, but I will use it on my feet.

Like the previous reviewer I was given a sample of this moisturizer but unlike her I have serious reservations after a few uses. I found the cream very rich and too creamy for my combination skin. In fact I blame this moisturizer for a nasty pimple, the likes of which I haven't had in years. Am I jumping to conclusions? Possibly. But this product is the only new thing I've added to my repertoire in the last few months so if the shoe fits... I think it's headed to the circular file; it's just too much moisturizer for me.

All hail the generous-sized sample! I haven't used Clinique products in quite some time, but my mother-in-law gave me a sample that lasted six weeks -- long enough to convince me that it was a product I had to keep using. I have sensitive, acne-prone (still!) skin and this lightweight cream soothes, smooths and moisturizes without any irritation. This has been a particularly wretched, achingly dry winter, and I have also staved off the rough, scaly patches that I usually fight against this time of year, particularly around my eyes. (Supplement with Cera Ve eye cream -- also highly recommended.) I am the world's cheapest person, but popped for a full size, full price jar. This might just be my hg.

I really wanted a good moisturizer that I could use on my face, that wasn't greasy, so if I wanted I could wear it under foundation. I like Clinique products, so I found myself here. I was going to order it off the site and as I was ordering other things I released that the free sample I would receive would be this, so I took the full tub out of my cart and figured it would be good to test it out first, which I am so so so so glad I did.
Packing- I love love love the packaging of this, its simple, easy to use and sturdy. The glass is tinted with a pink hue which I think is really pretty!! 10/10
Formula- The formula for this is thin, velvety, and non greasy and white in colour. A lot goes a long way which is what I liked. One lippie for that!
Did it work?- So I am having a huge problem with my dry areas at the minute, the foundation that I am using clings to my dry areas like a monkey to a banana, not good. So I wanted something to either let soak in over night or put on under my foundation. I tried both of my ideas with this. After I went in the shower and got ready for bed, I put this on my dry areas which are my nose, around my nose near my nostrils, my smile lines, my chin and the middle of my forehead, I rubbed it in, but not fully. I went to sleep and let it do its work, I woke up in the morning and it felt like it hadn't soaked in what so ever. My face looked very greasy. I removed what was left over with a face wipe and patted my face dry then processed to put my usual stuff on, primer, foundation etc. Both before and after I put primer on I didn't notice any dryness what so ever! Huraay! So I thought... I then applied my foundation and well... my dryness came back. My foundation stuck to it like it hadn't been moisturized at all. oh... so then I thought 'I know, I'll try rubbing it in loads at night with a small amount then put a little under my foundation, same story with before and after primer, no dryness then as soon as I put the foundation on.. boom dryness again!! It did look better... my dryness had seemed to calm down on my nose a little bit, but it was still flaky. Off I went to work, carried on my day as normal and slowly but surely my foundation melted off my face, it felt greasy and wet and looked stupidly shiny, yet my face was STILL dry. I have since tried it a couple of more times because I really wanted it to work but it just didn't.
Price- £34.00!! Are you serious? Like pinch me for a second! £34 for a 'moisturizer' that doesn't even do the job it is meant to do? Granted you get a lot 50ml which is great and it will last you ages but honestly.. it is not worth the £34. I am one of those girls who will buy a beauty product if it works for me, regardless of the price tag. So if it did work I would of course pay it, but in my general opinion about price whether it works or not this is expensive, especially when there are drug store/pharmacy products that work better for about £3... coughhhh E45 couuuugh
Overall- I am not impressed with the moisturizer at all. Everyone is different so it may work for you, but honestly I tried so many things with this and it didn't work at all. I will not be buying the full sized and if someone gave me a sample I would turn it down. I suppose I will use up the sample I have for erm... what can I even use it for now as it doesn't do anything to my dry skin? oh heck, I'll just give it to my mum!

I bought a full size 50ml bottle of this as a day cream, which was recommended by the beauty advisor in my local department store. I managed to finish the bottle and heres the breakdown. I have combination skin and slightly sensitive.
1) Its goes on the face and does not absorb very well. After a few minutes you can still feel it sitting on your skin. As i do put makeup on every morning i don't have the leisure to sit around to wait.
2) I did not enjoy the "fragrance free" smell, it kind of reminded me of the smell of medicated pills.
3) The texture was more towards the oiler side compared to their "Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief" which i also have a review for!
4) It was fairly cheap moisturiser with decent packaging
So final verdict not worth my money can find cheaper products that work better.

i have combination skin with problems depending on the time of year: extreme oiliness in my t-zone in summer when the weather gets hot (25 degrees celsius and upwards) and very dry, flaky, scaly patches on my cheeks in winter when it goes down to -20 degrees celsius. every winter in the past i've struggled with my dry patches, unable to get rid of them no matter what i use, varying from high end moisturisers to creams with added vitamin e that is meant to be used on cuts and sores to help them heal faster. this winter i bought clinique's moisture surge intense after reading a good review about it, and the efficacy with which it manages to deliver moisture into my skin without leaving my t-zone oily made a great impression on me. i did find that the moisture would "escape" from my drier spots rather quickly and in the beginning i also felt like my skin texture was left feeling a little "ruddy" or "unpolished", but have found that a great combination with this cream is mac's complete comfort creme, which when applied on drier areas seems to keep the moisture in and leave the skin a little smoother, so i suppose there is some element of firming action in it.
all in all, clinique's moisture surge intense + mac's complete comfort creme has been an absolute life saver for my skin this winter, making my skin look better than it has in years. definitely will keep repurchasing!

Let me start by saying my skin is DRY. I have sensitive tight dry skin and dry patches. I tried a lot of different moisturizers and most broke me out. This however, made my skin SOOOOO oily it was unbearable. Literally like I was rubbing grease on my face. Awful.

I should start by saying that is rare for a moisturizer to work for me. My skin is oily but dehydrated. I had heard great things about this moisturizer so I gave it a try. I like the feel and it seems to moisturize (I don't think it would work for real dry skin though) but it didn't help the tight feeling on my face. I do like it as a hand moisturizer though!

Re: Moving to ABQ in Jan
Generally speaking, you'd want to avoid anywhere along Central Ave. (Old "Route 66"). FYI: the area "east" from San Mateo, along Zuni and Central Ave. has frequently "starred" on Fox's "COPS," and is know locally as the "War Zone." Lots of gangs, prostitution, drug dealing, shots in the night (and day) type stuff.
The best areas of Albuquerque are the "Far Northeast Heights," which would be approximately east from Pennsylvania Blvd. & north from Menaul Blvd. if you can find an Albuquerque map. The further NE you go, the better the neighborhoods, houses, and apartments...once again, generally speaking. You can be in the best neighborhood, and still have the worst neighbor!
Rio Rancho, on the far west mesa is about 15 miles from downtown Albuquerque, and is the fastest growing city in NM. About 70,000 now with separate PD, FD, school district, etc. It has the lower cost housing, yet when compared to greater Albuquerque, you get a much better area for the same money. Their crime rate is relatively low, comparable to the far northeast heights in Alb. The only major problem out there, is if you work or go to school in Albuquerque, you must cross over the Rio Grande River, and there are only four bridges, leading to rush hour grid lock sometimes. Hope this helps you out a bit. NM_P

Doesn't that sound wonderfully pretentious?!? Well that is what I was offered at a restaurant in Sausalito, which got me thinking I want to be able to do that at home. After a bit of research, I discovered the Soda Club machine. Unlike old home soda siphons that made a single bottle with a small CO2 charger, this device has a large CO2 canister and is capable of carbonating up to 110 liters on a single tank. I bought mine online directly from the company for about $110, including shipping. It comes with 2 bottles used for carbonating and storing water, the complete system and about 20 little sample packets for making flavored sodas. I like the sparkling water so much, I have yet to even try the flavors, which include diet & sugar versions of cola, orange, lemon-lime, root-beer, etc.
Though I highly recommend the system, you should know that the CO2 tank, which they call the "Alco2Jet® carbonator" isn't something you buy, but rather "license" as they describe it. Put more simply, you have to exchange it to get a refill, otherwise they charge you $15. The replacement tank, including shipping and handling is about $30. From a financial perspective, I figure I'm breaking even or saving a bit on the first tank at about $1.00 per liter, which is roughly what I pay at Costco for San Pellegrino. Factor in not having to schlep 11 cases of water home, then out to recycling, and it's a win from day one...even more so when you consider the environmental benefits. Once we get into refills, the savings will be even greater.
Still, you may be wondering how's it taste? Excellent. I'm using regular Seattle tap water, sometimes filtered, but even that seems uneccesary...it tastes great and I can totally control how fizzy I make it. I found the trick to making smaller bubbles, like San Pellegrino, is to simply add less CO2. If you like a nice strong seltzer, pump it up.
So save a little money and help the environment...join the Soda Club!
May 29, 2008
As a BIG seltzer drinker....I could save money by doing this myself...thanks for the info...it looks very easy to do.
June 25, 2008
I also highly recommend this. My parents bring it to our weekly picnics with a gazillion grandkids running around, and they enjoy it much more than a soda, plus they get to make it themselves! What a way to stay away from plastic!

White House on hot seat, Part III
I am not willing to give up ANY of my rights, liberties or protections granted by this magnificent document. To quote John Adams, "Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." — Jim Stingl, Chula Vista
I agree with [Jim] Reid and [Paul] Determan (Letters, May 16) except the idea of taking back our freedoms. We have them; it's a matter of preserving them.
May I remind you that these writers are strong advocates for the Republican Party, which brought you eight years of a stock market which plunged from 14,000 to 6,000 and an illegal war which, when we rehabilitate our brave military's lost limbs, will end up costing [trillions of] dollars.
Be careful what you wish for. — Charlie McCoy, La Jolla
In response to "Obama releases pages of Benghazi emails" (May 16): So the president has no idea what's going on in Benghazi, because he has no idea what's going on at the State Department, the Defense Department or any of the intelligence departments like the CIA or the FBI. Yeah, no blood on Obama's hands.
He doesn't know what's going on at Justice so that get's him off the hook for Fast and Furious and Brian Terry's murder. Again, no blood on Obama's hands. Obama knows nothing about the IRS targeting conservatives. Knows nothing about bugging the AP. He's just […] wandering the halls of the White House mumbling "I don't know what's going on."
Attorney General Eric Holder doesn't know about the AP bugging, Fast and Furious, and nobody at the IRS had any idea that they were targeting conservatives. Nobody knows anything. And Hillary Clinton doesn't know and doesn't care, her own words, about Benghazi.
Makes you yearn for the days when our corrupt politicians at least had brains. The press will be horrified for at least three days, then go back to their first true love, kissing Obama's backside. — Valorie Matthews, San Diego
Here's one way to put an end on the IRS and the Benghazi fiasco: Blame it on Bush! — Jerry Sackett, San Diego
It is being reported that acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller has written an email announcing his departure from his position "when his term ends in June", which is arguably inconsistent with the notion that, as your headline suggests, he was "ousted in targeting scandal."
It would be helpful to know whether Mr. Miller's admittedly temporary position had a term. — Valerie Alexander, San Diego
Once again, we are seeing the Kings of the Teflon Administration boldly in action. Acting Commissioner Steven Miller (IRS), after less than a six-month tenure, has been led to the slaughterhouse, but the IRS scandal actually began in 2010. We need to look higher for the culprits, and at the very least, the secretary of the treasury is most culpable since the IRS is under his authority.
We are cautioned by the mainstream media not to equate this to Watergate, and rightfully so, since this is even far more corrupt and evil than Nixon would ever even consider, let alone permit. Couple this scandal with Benghazi, and it is just not possible for any sane or informed person to not look directly at the White House for guilt. Punishment for both matters needs to be meted out, and consequences must be administered. — Pat J. Anderson, Otay Mesa West
Kudos to Steve Breen for Wednesday's cartoon regarding Obama's dilemma. Perhaps he'll soon be able to publish an updated version with Obama wishfully thinking, "At least nobody's talking about the AP scandal anymore …" while reading the newspaper's headline "Obama impeached." Unfortunately, that's probably wishful thinking for an increasingly large portion of the population. — Frank Leech, University City
It seems to me that the current administration is leading this country through a miasma land of managerial mediocrity as our country travels down the road to perdition. — James J. Donahue, San Diego
