Archaeology in Alexandria began with community preservation efforts in the 1960s at the Fort Ward and King Street Urban Renewal projects. The Alexandria Archaeological Commission (AAC) – the first of its kind in the United States – was established by City Council in 1975, and City archaeology staff soon followed. In the 1980s, when increasing development threatened the city's archaeological resources, the AAC partnered with the private development community to advocate for and draft the Archaeological Resource Protection Code. It passed in 1989 as the first such code in the nation.
The Code requires the evaluation of all development projects for which site plans must be filed, to determine the potential for impacting archaeological resources and whether there is a need for preservation action prior to site development. This sometimes necessitates that the applicant to the review process hire an archaeological consultant to conduct research, survey, and excavation. This procedure reduces the loss of sites and objects of antiquity that represent the cultural heritage of the nation, the commonwealth, and the city.
Archaeological Protection Code
Zoning Ordinance, Section 11-411 (D), 1992.
Alexandria Archaeology reviews all building permits and other code enforcement permits that involve ground disturbance. On projects which do not require site plans (such as small additions to private homes), we may ask property owners to allow City archaeologists and volunteers to excavate prior to construction or to monitor the site during construction. Alternatively, we may ask that the owners call us if artifacts or features are found.
Metal Detecting and removal of property of any kind is ILLEGAL on public land, including City, State and Federal parks and property. Illegal activities on public lands include collecting artifacts along the shorelines and streambeds and removing plants, as well as metal detecting and excavation. The Alexandria City Code prohibits metal detecting, digging, or removal of objects on City property.
The Metal Detecting Code is included in the Code of the City of Alexandria Chapter 1, Title 13 Section 13-1-40
The Alexandria Master Plan was adopted by the City Council on June 24, 1992. The Master Plan is made up of 15 small area plans (SAPs) covering neighborhoods throughout the City; and chapters on topics of citywide relevancy, such as Historic Preservation, Urban Design, and Open Space.
Investigations produce reports, which include the technical results of the projects and their interpretation, as well as artifacts, preserved as part of the City's Alexandria Archaeology Museum collection. Other archaeological inquiries in Alexandria not initiated by the Code also yield reports and artifacts, most of which are part of the collection. Thus, while not all sites are protected, they do live on through their information and material culture in spite of the passage of time and persistence of development.
Over the years, the reports have been filed at the Museum, with copies provided to the City Library, and artifacts housed in the Payne Street repository. Yet few know of the reports. In an attempt to bring the "gray literature" to light, most of these archaeological reports, spanning six decades of archaeology in Alexandria and chronicling thousands of years of history across the city, now are available for the first time for download as PDFs. New reports will be added online as they are processed.
The information is organized into a Topical Listing of Archaeological Reports. Below each topic is a list of associated sites/projects. If a Virginia site registration number exists for a project, then it, too, is listed.
Simply click on a report to go to its precise entry on the Alexandria Archaeology Bibliography. Underneath each entry is a PDF (or PDFs) and report summary. The summaries also provide related reports and/or recommendations for further reading.
For a comprehensive listing of written material on archaeology in Alexandria, view the full bibliography. It also includes some historical and architectural studies.
The use of GIS improves the efficiency and accuracy of the review process, thus enhancing Alexandria's historic preservation efforts. Historical maps and aerial photographs are scaled to serve as layers within the City's Geographical Information System in order to predict topographical locations of Native American occupation and to identify the locations of historic sites on the contemporary maps. Alexandria Archaeology is working with the Center for Geospatial Information Technology at Virginia Tech, and with the City of Alexandria's GIS Division in the Department of Planning and Zoning, to develop historical map layers.
As a result of the archaeological review process, many sites have been investigated, and a wide variety of important information has been made available to the public. The kinds of sites and resources explored and preserved as a result of the Code include Native American camps, tenant farmsteads, Civil War encampments, plantations, cemeteries, African American homes, and businesses, including a sugar factory, a ropewalk, grist mills, potteries and glassworks.
How can you be a good caretaker of your archeological site? This article provides steps for owners and occupants of historic properties. The Right Way to Dig at Home: Working together to preserve Alexandria's past, Pamela J. Cressey and Keith L. Barr, appeared in the June 1989 issue of Preservation News, published by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Both State and Federal laws and procedures require that significant archaeological sites be identified and considered in a variety of public projects. As the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO), VDHR assists state and federal agencies in meeting their responsibilities.

BETHESDA, Maryland Taylor Morris has swept the nation over the past six months. Thousands of strangers have shared his story along with raising money for his future needs. In May, the 24-year-old Navy petty officer lost much of his arms and legs following a bomb blast in Afghanistan.
Morris, an explosive ordinance disposal tech, was clearing the way for his team when it happened. The IED he encountered wasn't detected. "It blew me up in the air and I landed down on my back. I knew my arms and legs were gone because I couldn't see them," Morris described.
He was transported to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, where he has since been recovering. His girlfriend, Danielle Kelly, got the call about Morris's accident while riding in a car with a friend. " Instantly my heart just dropped beneath the floor, it just could not have got any lower," Kelly recalls.
For a couple who had their world turned upside down their strength and outlook on life is one we should all take note of. We met with the two on an early Wednesday morning in October. We stepped into their apartment on the Walter Reed Campus and found Morris making breakfast. As he sat in a wheelchair, he used his prosthetic hand to turn on the oven and stove. "It's just like for you, moving your wrist up and down. It's got sensors that are on those muscles on my forearm," Morris explained to us.
We, along with Morris's occupational therapist, watched him fry eggs and frost cinnamon rolls. While Morris was serving breakfast, making breakfast served as Morris's occupational therapy.
Morris is now relearning everyday chores which he said can sometimes be annoying. But he's determined to master what he now has on his body." I wanted to be out of here in a year, which is a pretty aggressive goal for a quadruple amputee," Morris said.
For those who know Morris, it comes as no surprise that he's well on his way to doing just that. "He was just like all right, this is what we have, let's get better," said Kelly. His occupational therapist also told us that he's flying through.
Despite the challenges, the Cedar Falls native considers himself fortunate not to have any internal injuries. Now he is determined to move forward with his life.
For the past six months, hundreds of thousands of people have followed his recovery through his support page. It's there that people can see Morris drive, run and dance. "What makes me excited is when he gets excited about things. When he realizes that he can do something else or that he can do something for me. I know he enjoys when he doesn't feel like I have to take care of him," said Kelly.
Kelly has been by his side for years, but it's taken on a whole new meaning the past six months. "I need help with so many more things on a daily basis now and just to have her there. We're just such good friends and get along with each other so well. It's just awesome to have someone like that by your side," said Morris. He said since he was injured, he has really learned how wonderful of a caregiver Kelly is.
Kelly couldn't help but agree that the two are not just boyfriend and girlfriend but best friends. "We're a good team, I think when I am having an off day, he balances me out and vice versus," she said. She notes that while Taylor has some physical changes they are still the same people. "I feel like I knew him pretty well beforehand, obviously we now know each other inside and out," she said.
The two spend their day with doctors, physical therapists, and wound specialists. But it's the few hours late at night, where life is just how the like it, normal. "We go eat dinner and come back and watch marathon seasons of our favorite shows," said Morris. The sailor listed Sons of Anarchy, White Collar, and Breaking Bad as their top picks. "For that hour or two that we get to just lay on the couch and relax, that's the best. That's our sense of peace," said Kelly. Kelly added that they also have enjoyed sightseeing in D.C ...
By next spring, they hope to find a new peace back in Iowa. "I want to be able to get a job and do it proficiently and the least amount of adaptive equipment I use is better, I think," said Morris. He added that he is currently working to completely phase out the use of his wheelchair and wants to be able to blend in with every day activities.
Kelly has plans to go into real estate. But together, the two have plans to pay if forward. "So many people have helped us out through this and different organizations and so we've really been talking about giving back ourselves and helping out with different non-profits," said Kelly.
The two refuse to let a change in life, get in the way from living it to the fullest. "Yes a horrible thing happened, but we're still having a good time and still laughing," said Kelly. As we spent the morning with Morris, we witnessed just that, first hand. The Navy Seal is proof that if you mix a little humor with determination and heart, you can conquer anything life gives you, or takes away.
The Chive
Shortly after May, a website called the Chive.com ran an article on Morris proposing that readers pitch in money to help build Taylor and Danielle a home. In just a few days readers raised hundreds of thousands of dollars. "I was definitely surprised, I didn't even think it would work when he originally pitched the idea to us," said Morris.
August Homecoming Parade
In August, Morris and Kelly came home for a long weekend to enjoy a friend's wedding. Upon arrival at the Waterloo airport they found hundreds of motorcycles, flags, and people lining the streets from the airport through downtown Cedar Falls to welcome Morris home. "That was awesome, I had never seen anything like that. I certainly didn't expect that. It was pretty overwhelming, but in a good way," he said.
President Obama Talks About Morris
During the Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery on Sunday, President Barack Obama talked about Morris. Here is a portion of the speech:
"That's what we do in America. We take care of our own. We take care of our veterans. We take care of your families. Not just by saluting you on one day, once a year, but by fighting for you and your families every day of every year. That's our obligation - a sacred obligation - to all of you.
And it's an obligation that we gladly accept for Americans like Petty Officer Taylor Morris. Six months ago, Taylor was serving our nation in Afghanistan. And as a member of an Explosive Ordnance Disposal Team, his job was one of the most dangerous there is: to lead the way through territory littered with hidden explosives; to clear the way for his brothers-in-arms.
On May 3rd, while out on patrol, Taylor stepped on an IED. The blast threw him into the air. And when he hit the ground, Taylor realized that both his legs were gone. And his left arm. And his right hand.
But as Taylor lay there, fully conscious, bleeding to death, he cautioned the medics to wait before rushing his way. He feared another IED was nearby. Taylor's concern wasn't for his own life; it was for theirs.
Eventually, they cleared the area. They tended to Taylor's wounds. They carried him off the battlefield. And days later, Taylor was carried into Walter Reed, where he became only the fifth American treated there to survive the amputation of all four limbs.
Now, Taylor's recovery has been long. And it has been arduous. And it's captivated the nation. A few months after the attack, with the help of prosthetics, the love and support of his family, and above all his girlfriend Danielle, who never left his side, Taylor wasn't just walking again. In a video that went viral, the world watched he and Danielle dance again.
I've often said the most humbling part of my job is serving as Commander-in-Chief. And one of the reasons is that, every day, I get to meet heroes. I met Taylor at Walter Reed. And then in July, at the White House, I presented him with the Purple Heart. And right now, hanging on a wall in the West Wing is a photo of that day, a photo of Taylor Morris smiling wide and standing tall.
I should point out that Taylor couldn't make it here today because he and Danielle are out kayaking. (Laughter and applause.) In Taylor we see the best of America a spirit that says, when we get knocked down, we rise again. When times are tough, we come together. When one of us falters, we lift them up. In this country we take care of our own - especially our veterans who have served so bravely and sacrificed so selflessly in our name. And we carry on, knowing that our best days always lie ahead."

In recent weeks, lane restrictions after 7 p.m. have allowed paving operations along U.S. Hwy. 41 from about the 16 mile marker at the U.S. Hwy. 41/U.S. Hwy. 60 Henderson Cloverleaf extending northward to the U.S. Hwy. 41 Twin Bridges at about the 19 mile marker.
Starting on Tuesday, July 30, the contractor expects to move paving operations north of the U.S. 41 Twin Bridges for paving from the Ohio River to the Kentucky-Indiana State Line.
One lane of traffic flow will be maintained in each direction during these operations Construction will be completed at these locations and all lanes reopened to normal traffic flow by 6 a.m. each morning.
Once paving is completed on the driving lanes in each direction, the contractor plans to start on the passing lanes.
This work is being scheduled at night to minimize traffic disruptions during peak travel periods.
Motorists should be aware of these night lane restrictions and use appropriate caution where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
The night paving will be scheduled from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on a Sunday night through Thursday night schedule. The work is expected to take about another week to complete, weather permitting.

High-quality open access curricular materials are increasingly available online, and can provide an alternative to traditionally-published, high-priced textbooks. This guide will help faculty incorporate freely-available open access and public domain resources into courses.
City Tech Efforts
- The First Year Writing @ City Tech site on the OpenLab collects resources and materials related to teaching writing and learning about writing instruction.
- City Tech Digital Reader for English Composition, created by Johannah Rodgers (English) & Anne Leonard (Library), curates texts and essays that are freely-available on the internet on a variety of themes for use in writing and literature courses.
- The Precalculus textbook written by Thomas Tradler and Holly Carley (Math). A PDF version is available for free download and a print version to purchase from Lulu.com.
- The Readings and Viewings page on Anne Leonard's course site for LIB 1201 Research & Documentation for the Information Age shows how readings from the internet and those in library databases can be linked to for student use.
Best Practices and Large Scale Experiments
- The Code of Best Practices in Fair Use for OpenCourseWare from the Center for Social Media at American University is designed to help those using materials in their open courses to interpret and apply fair use under United States copyright law. This covers options for using materials that may be under copyright; that is, they are not open educational resources, but might be able to be used in courses under fair use.
- Ethan Wattrall, an anthropologist at Michigan State University, wrote a great short piece for the Prof Hacker blog on the Chronicle of Higher Education covering some Solutions for Dealing with Copyrighted Materials in an Open Access Course.

Knock-Your-Socks-Off Pumpkin Pie
Ginger Pastry (recipe below)
- 1 (15-ounce) can organic pumpkin
- 1 1/3 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Streusel Topping (recipe below)
Whipped cream (optional)
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. On a floured surface, roll the Ginger Pastry into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a 9-inch pie plate. Trim the pastry to 1 inch beyond the pie plate. Fold the edges under the crust. Crimp decoratively, forming a high-standing crust (about 1/2 inch above the rim of the dish). Freeze for 15 minutes.
3. Line the crust with foil and then fill with pie weights (dried beans work well). Bake 10 minutes. Remove the foil and beans and bake another 10 minutes, or until the crust is set and light golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, 11/3 cups heavy whipping cream, sugar, eggs, honey, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, and salt until thoroughly combined. Pour into the prebaked piecrust.
5. Bake for about 50 minutes or until the filling begins to set. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes to set slightly. Meanwhile, make the Streusel Topping. Sprinkle the topping over the pie. Return the pie to the hot oven. Bake for 10 to 20 minutes more or until the pie is set and the streusel is golden brown. Serve with whipped cream, if desired.
Makes 1 (9-inch) pie
Continue reading for the Ginger Pastry & the Streusel Topping
Ginger Pastry
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons fresh gingerroot, peeled and minced
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
1 egg yolk
2 tablespoons ice-cold water, plus more as needed
1. In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, gingerroot, allspice, and salt.
2. Using a pasty blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
3. In a small bowl, combine the egg yolk with 2 tablespoons water.
4. Add the yolk mixture to the flour mixture and toss with a fork until the mixture forms moist clumps. (Add additional cold water, 1 teaspoon at a time, if the dough is too dry.)
5. Form the dough into a ball and flatten into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes or up to 24 hours. Allow the dough to sit at room temperature about 10 minutes before rolling into a piecrust.
Makes 1 (9-inch) piecrust
Streusel Topping
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 cup cold, unsalted butter
3/4 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup crystallized ginger, finely chopped
1. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground ginger.
2. Using a pastry blender, cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in the chopped pecans and crystallized ginger. Sprinkle the topping over the pie as directed in the pie recipe.
Makes about 2 1/2 cups
Piecrust Pointers
The Holm sisters offer a few simple steps to creating an easy-to-handle, flaky piecrust—one of their specialties of the house.
1. Use very cold butter to cut into the flour. Use ice-cold water, too.
2. Before rolling out the pastry, pat it into a disc shape, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate it for 20 minutes or more. It will be easier to roll out after chilling. (If leaving the dough in the refrigerator more than 20 minutes, let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.)
3. To transfer pastry dough to the pie plate, loosely wrap it around the rolling pin, then unroll it over the plate, easing the pastry dough into the plate. Avoid stretching or tugging the dough in place, since that may cause it to shrink as it bakes.
4. Leave an extra ½-to-1-inch pastry overhang to fold into a thick edge that can be fluted with your fingers or the tines of a fork.
5. If the crust edge browns too quickly, cover it with a curled strip of foil.

Plain English campaign news articles
Lords and Commons talk the talk
- Details
- Created on Monday, 06 April 2009 19:27
Plain English Campaign are celebrating an Easter bonus with the launch of not just one inquiry into government communications, but a second which will look into how Parliament connects with the public.
The first public inquiry, by the Public Administration Select Committee, is calling for examples of good and bad government documents, while the House of Lords Information Committee are continuing their Modernisation Report into improving how Parliament connects with the public.
Marie Clair, spokesperson for Plain English Campaign, says, "People are crying out for information that they can read, understand and act upon, within a single reading. These desperate times are revealing the extent of poor communications in every part of our society. These inquiries are a two-way process. Send us your examples and opinions on both inquiries. This is an opportunity for people to show why the elderly can't claim the heating benefits they rightly deserve, why families are losing their homes because of jargon-filled credit agreements and why, with over 2 million unemployed, employers are struggling to find applicants with basic literacy skills."
Chrissie Maher, founder of Plain English Campaign, has splashed out on Easter eggs for all the Campaign staff in celebration of the Parliamentary landmark.
Chrissie says, "The Campaign has been on the case of both Parliament and Government from the start. Education and legislation in plain English are what we need to encourage the use of crystal-clear language in all public information, both written and spoken. It's down to each of us to be clear and honest. In 2009 I want to see our 646 MPs reminded that plain English is what their public needs. And, every young person has the right to learn about the damage of unnecessary jargon and gobbledygook, before the rot of poor communication sets in for another generation."
Public Administration Select Committee calls for people to send in examples of the good, the bad and the ugly of official language

Comments from Chrissie Maher, founder of the Plain English Campaign.
The rest of the world sit up and take notice
After 30 years I never thought I'd see the day when both the House of Commons and the House of Lords are concerned about plain English!
When I stood on Parliament Square with a hand shredder, surrounded by empty cardboard boxes and many policemen, I feared that I could only end up in jail for protesting at government jargon in public information. I would never have dreamed that one day, just one day, people at the top would listen to the humble grass roots. For a mother of four it wasn't right to have to plough through their maze of words to get action.
It only goes to show that if you honestly persist and you know in your heart what you're asking for is right, then people in high places will listen. I'm only sorry it's taken a lifetime, my lifetime. Well, they say that the wheels of government move slowly, but they get there in the end.. phew!
Note to all Editors: it would be helpful if you could advise listeners, viewers or readers that we welcome nominations for Plain English Awards or Golden Bulls. Please send them to email@example.com.
Plain English Campaign is an independent, self-funding pressure group based in New Mills, High Peak. Since our humble beginnings we have grown to become the biggest plain-language group in the world with around 50 staff. We have had incredible success in persuading many UK and worldwide organisations to communicate with the public in plain language.
We take up grievances of people who have been baffled by bureaucratic language, small print and the legalese of official information. We promote plain language by presenting awards, hosting international conferences and funding research projects.
Each year, we present awards to those organisations who we judge to have produced the best and worst examples of English. The infamous 'Golden Bull' and 'Foot in Mouth' awards inject a sense of mischief and humour into the proceedings. We accept entries from any individual or organisation. However, for obvious reasons we cannot give awards to documents or websites that our staff have worked on or edited.
We fund our activities by offering a variety of commercial services such as training and editing.
For more information please contact email@example.com or call our Press Officer, Marie Clair on 07875 000175 or 01298 815118. Our studio ISDN line number is 01298 812326. Our postal address is Press Office, Hillside Farm, Combs, High Peak SK23 9UT.

Liverpool well-rooted in plain English

- Created on Tuesday, 03 February 2009 16:20
Public viewing of the exhibition will take place from Tuesday 21 October. Plain English Campaign are encouraging the school leavers and young people of Liverpool to use plain English to communicate and refresh their language skills with free training sessions during the week.
We are also running a competition for young people in Liverpool to create a song, poem or piece of prose about their rights to clear communication.
The event recognises and applauds the efforts of the people of Liverpool in building what has become a worldwide cause. Giving the public the right to information they can understand and act upon for assist their daily lives was a fight that started almost 30 years ago with the UK's first community newspaper in Tuebrook and now more people everywhere, are empowered by refusing to deal with jargon and gobbledygook.
Chrissie Maher, OBE and founder of the campaign sends this message to the people of Liverpool, in particular our next generation, "Never let anyone take your rights away by blinding you with words. We all have a responsibility to do our best to understand, that's why the basics of education are so vital. Those people telling you that spelling doesn't matter, they have jobs. Don't let them fool you into thinking that gobbledygook will hide their own ignorance and mistakes – the credit crunch has shown what lack of understand and unclear communications can do. Let's arm ourselves with solid, plain speaking, that's something in which the people of Liverpool are well rooted."
Plain English Campaign have a "Spelling is Important" petition running on their website for all people to add their voice. This will be presented at the Houses of Parliament on 1 July 2009.
Who has the right to write the rites, Dr Wright or Dr Smith?

- Created on Tuesday, 03 February 2009 16:17
Commenting from the campaign's headquarters in Derbyshire, Chrissie said "It sickens me to consider we would allow anyone the liberty to destroy our heritage just because they are fed up with seeing it misused. Instead do something about it, deal with the real problem, stop the rot! Put it right from the start. How can we expect children to learn basic spelling and grammar if senior educationalists are saying it doesn't matter? It's absolute madness."
Dr Smith, a lecturer in criminology at Buckinghamshire New University, suggested that students and lecturers should be 'given a break' and allow misspellings of words such as 'judgment', 'twelfth', and 'embarrassed'.
Plain English Campaign, which fights for clear communication in all public documents, recently criticised the news that spelling mistakes and grammatical errors were resulting in higher marks in Standard Assessment Tests (SATs).

Route 9 bridge almost finished, open to trafficBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 11,2013
AP FILE PHOTO Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette looks at a collapsed bridge on Route 9 in Woodford on Aug. 28, 2011, following Tropical Storm Irene.WOODFORD — The bridge on Route 9 that connects Bennington with Brattleboro and other eastern parts of Vermont is now open and a temporary bridge has been removed, but a few tasks, expected to be done in May, will need to be completed before the project is officially done, according to engineer Ronald Lemaire.
Lemaire, who is the resident engineer for the project on behalf of the Vermont Agency of Transportation, said the contractor, T. Buck Construction of Maine, had run out of time to pave over the deck, also known as bridge surface. Because of the cold temperatures this late in the winter season, the construction company pulled its crews from the area last week.
Until the final paving is done, drivers should expect the speed limit in that area of Route 9 to remain reduced. Orange signs along the road will provide the correct speed limit until the project wraps.
According to Lemaire, the remaining work will probably take about two weeks to finish.
But with only paving and some landscaping left to be completed on the project, the bridge is now effectively restored after the damage it suffered during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011.
The storm caused one lane of the bridge to collapse, shutting it down for several weeks immediately after Irene.
Repairing the bridge meant putting up a temporary bridge downstream on the Roaring Branch but that second bridge has now been removed.
The loss of the bridge caused a transportation problem but it caused another major problem for the town of Bennington. A water pipeline, which is connected to the town's water treatment plant, located off Route 9 in Woodford, was broken when the bridge collapsed.
Town crews were able to keep water flowing to most customers without any serious rationing until a temporary pipeline was put in place.
Bennington Town Manager Stuart Hurd said the pipeline has now been replaced with something permanent which has helped restore normal functions at the water treatment plant.
Buck's winning bid for the project was about $2.1 million. According to Lemaire, the cost of the project is currently slightly under budget.
However, the project's completion date was December. Carolyn Carlson, structures project manager for the Vermont Agency of Transportation, said there was a possibility the state might impose a penalty.
"At this point, we won't know what that could amount to, if anything, until the actual project is complete as far as the days that they are over the completion date," she said.
While the bridge is almost done, Carlson said, unfortunately, she couldn't say the same about all the work the state has had to take on to repair damage caused by Irene.
"For instance, there's a project in Bennington, a couple of bridges west of this Woodford project, where they're going to be doing some pier work. … There are a couple of bridges in Jamaica which are temporary bridges. We're going to be replacing those next summer. There's still a lot of work left to be done," she said.

iHerb Customer Reviews
i have been using herbavita hair dye for years - i mix 7M and 4R in equal parts - the brown helps hold the color and keeps the red tones from becoming brassy. women ask me regularly about my hair color. i have dry, curly hair, and this product seems to actually help reduce frizziness after i use it. 5 stars!
Really does lighten your hair AT LEAST one shade! I was really surprised. This turned my dark mousy brown hair VERY bright red and definately a shade or even two shades lighter. Not what I was going for, so colored over it with a brown to tone it down. So if you don't want such a dramatic red, would be best to mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with a brown -- which is what I'm going to do next time. Leaves hair very soft, not straw-like as so many othe rproducts do. Good luck;-)

Wood Flooring Stability
Modified on 2008/01/14 14:44 by Administrator — Categorized as: Knowledge Base
In an effort to compare stability between species, the numeric values in the chart below represent the percentage of tangential shrinkage from green to overdry moisture content. Tangential change values normally will reflect changes in plainsawn wood. Quartersawn wood usually will be more dimensionally stable than plainsawn. Actual percentage change on completed job sites will be significantly less as proximity from board to board will restrain movement. Note this means the higher the percentage the more unstable the wood.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The long-delayed Keystone XL oil pipeline cleared a major hurdle toward approval Friday, a serious blow to environmentalists' hopes that President Barack Obama will block the controversial project running more than 1,000 miles from
The State Department reported no major environmental objections to the proposed $7 billion pipeline, which has become a symbol of the political debate over climate change. Republicans and some oil- and gas-producing states in the
The report stops short of recommending approval of the pipeline, but the review gives Obama new support if he chooses to endorse it in spite of opposition from many Democrats and environmental groups. Foes say the pipeline would carry "dirty oil" that contributes to global warming, and they also express concern about possible spills.
Republicans and business and labor groups have urged Obama to approve the pipeline to create thousands of jobs and move further toward North American energy independence. The pipeline is also strongly supported by Democrats in oil and gas-producing states, including Sens. Mary Landrieu of

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., said the report "once again confirms that there is no reason for the White House to continue stalling construction of the Keystone XL pipeline."
McConnell said: "Mr. President, no more stalling, no more excuses. Please pick up that pen you've been talking so much about and make this happen. Americans need these jobs. "
However, a top official at the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, said the report gives Obama all the information he needs to reject the pipeline.

The new report comes only days after Obama's State of the Union address, in which he reiterated his support for an "all-of-the-above" energy strategy that embraces a wide range of sources, from oil and natural gas to renewables such as wind and solar power. The remarks were a rebuff to some of his environmental allies who argued that Obama's support of expanded oil and gas production doesn't make sense for a president who wants to reduce pollution linked to global warming.
Obama blocked the Keystone XL pipeline in January 2012, saying he did not have enough time for a fair review before a deadline forced on him by congressional Republicans. That delayed the choice for him until after his re-election.
Obama's initial rejection went over badly in

TransCanada chief executive Russ Girling said he was pleased at the latest environmental review, the fifth released on the project since 2010. "The conclusions haven't varied. They are the same as before," he said.
Environmental groups criticized the State Department for publishing the report before the department's inspector general released findings of an inquiry into a contractor that worked on the review. Friends of the Earth and other groups say the contractor, Environmental Resources Management, has financial ties to TransCanada.
"We feel confident there are no issues related to this contractor," said Kerri Ann Jones, an assistant secretary of state who has overseen the Keystone review.
