A reader forwarded this GoDaddy message to me (I have anonymized it) asking for advice. Apparently GoDaddy is now charging for handling spam complaints and has a $200 "spam tax" for clients that do email marketing. If they receive spam complaints against you, they are claiming that they will hold your domain ransom unless you pay $75 to release it.
Basically, GoDaddy is saying that if you do email marketing or have affiliates that send emails linking to your site, they don't want your business.
See below…
From: GoDaddy Abuse Department [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com]
Sent: Thursday, June 12, 2008
Subject: RE: EXAMPLE.COM
Dear XXXXXX,
Thank you for contacting Go Daddy's Abuse Department.
As the registrant of EXAMPLE.COM you are ultimately responsible for your domain name. Any email mail advertisement that is driving traffic to, or generating revenue for, your website or domain name is your responsibility. If your clients violate our anti spam policy they place your domain name in jeopardy.
You can view Go Daddy's Anti-Spam policy by clicking on the "Anti-Spam Policy" link located on Go Daddy's "Legal Agreement" page. Click the following link to access Go Daddy's "Legal Agreements" page: https://www.godaddy.com/gdshop/agreements.asp.
Please keep in mind that it is not our intention to cause anyone's business to suffer and we do appreciate your response and cooperation. Because of your willingness to resolve this issue thus far, your services have not been interrupted, however this situation remains unresolved.
While we do consider you ultimately responsible for the use of your domain name, we understand you cannot guarantee that each and every client you provide services to will act responsibly. Because of this Go Daddy offers a solution that may be a better fit for your particular situation. We refer to this solution as our "Abuse Enforcement Program".
If you intend to provide services to your clients that involve the use, or marketing of, your domain name, you must require your clients to abide by Go Daddy's anti spam policy. These services include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Affiliate Advertising Programs (aka "clickthru" programs)
- Website Hosting/Email Services (free or paid)
- Multi-Level Marketing Programs
- Independent Contractor Programs
If you agree to the terms of the "Abuse Enforcement Program" outlined below, Go Daddy will accept, in good faith, your commitment as proof of your desire to correct this problem and enforce our anti-spam policy.
"Abuse Enforcement Program" terms are as follows:
1. Authorize GoDaddy.com to charge a $199 non-refundable administration fee* to the credit card on file for your account. This fee is used to cover the costs of responding to or "cleaning up" the outstanding spam complaints Go Daddy has received against your domain name so far.
2. Terminate the services you are providing to the organization circulating the mailing that has generated the complaints we have received.
3. Reply to this message with a statement that you will terminate the services of any future client that violates Go Daddy's No Spam policy.
4. Provide both a primary contact and secondary contact email address.
In the future, Go Daddy will send a "warning notice" to these contact addresses if we receive additional spam complaints. If you respond to these "warning notices" within 5 days no action will be taken against you. This will allow you handle the problem on your end preventing any interruption of service to your clients that are not at fault. Go Daddy itself has a similar agreement with our upstream provider AT&T.
If this solution is not agreeable to you, or you are unable to comply with these terms, you can transfer your domain name to another registrar. We require that you pay a $75 administration fee before allowing you to proceed with your transfer. Again this fee used to offset the costs of "cleaning up" the outstanding spam complaints against your domain name.
You will need to provide the following in your reply:
1. A statement that you will initiate the transfer of your domain name to a new registrar within the next 24 hours.
2. Authorization for GoDaddy.com to charge a $75 administration fee* to the credit card on file for your account.
• You may want to log into your Go Daddy account and confirm that the card on file is valid and has not expired.
Please let us know what option you choose, thank you for your cooperation.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) just announced that all new light vehicles must have rear view visibility systems by 2018. Of course this means the price of a new vehicle just went up again. Certainly required blind spot detection is soon to follow. I remember when I was teaching my teenage sons to drive, I was always uncomfortable with them glancing over their shoulders to check for traffic in the "blind spot". But that's what their driving education taught, so what right did I have to contradict them. Still, how is it a good idea for the driver to take their eyes off the road in front of them? Despite the cost, maybe electronic blind spot protection is a good idea? Not necessarily.
Actually, we have blind spot detection in our cars right now and we probably didn't even know it. The best part is that it doesn't cost us a penny more.
While buying a new car with yet another electronic device that could potentially need repair is not at the top of my list, I did test drive a new Toyota Avalon recently with blind spot detection and thought it was really cool. An amber icon flashed in either of the side mirrors when a passing car was detected. It certainly was cool, but is it really necessary? Not according to the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). They advise that the perfect solution to blind spot detection is as simple as adjusting both the left and right side view mirrors out from the car's body, losing sight of the car as a reference and covering the void of the blind spots.
A recent article in Car & Driver caught my eye and summed up the issue nicely:
It's so simple, it's stupid! Angle the side mirrors out away from the car until they just barely overlap the vision seen by the rear view mirror. This past weekend I took a 500 mile road trip, so I gave the idea a try. Like most other drivers, initially I was uncomfortable without seeing my car as a reference, but the more I drove, the more it made perfect sense. I passed the hours by experimenting with both side mirrors, fine tuning their positioning to optimize coverage of the blind spots. A car is in my rear view mirror. As the car begins to pass, it's in plain sight both in the rear view and the side mirror. Just as the passing car leaves my side mirror, I see it for real in my peripheral vision. Each stage of this coverage overlaps nicely. No gaps in seeing the passing car, no blind spots. I now have perfect 360 degree vision around my car.
I don't need blind spot detection and neither do you. We've had it free for years. Once you get by the slight learning curve of not seeing your car as a reference, you'll love it. There's no going back for me, no more driving blind. It's blind spot detection made easy.

Here's how RW members rated this race (197 votes).
In short: Good scenery all along the way. Very good organisation at start and finish of race. Brilliant weather made it especially enjoyable.. Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Great race!In full: Loved it :-) Glorious autumn weather running along the towpath with fellow like minded runners. Baggage worked out really well this year PP so thanks for that. Personally I thought there were plenty of toilets - the problem was that everybody stood in one queue when there were 14 toilets. One of the PP marshals sorted this out though and after that it was fine.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Fabulous scenery but why not get more portaloos, Purple Patch? In full: Amazing scenery the whole way along the canal. Marshalls that actually look you in the eye and smile. Queue for the loo at the start was like nothing I've ever seen before and meant the race had to start late. Baggage system seemed fine to me - got my bag in under 60 seconds. Was forced to walk some of it due to bottlenecks but wasnt too bothered. Great race overall. Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Overall a good run for a challenge to the body (I'm aching like mad.) jusy don't come to get a PB.In full: You need to come to this not expecting PB as narrow track does mean you will get stuck beind people. The surface is uneven and slippy and bridge and lock sections make for hard going the further you get on. The final climb to the finish just about finished me off. Water stops with plastic cups of water made drinking without stopping impossible (for me anyway), at least one bottle stop would have helped. Some stops not well enough manned to hand drinks out which meant snatching trying to snatch from the table whilst going.Overall a good run for a challenge to the body (I'm aching like mad.) jusy don't come to get a PB. Would I do it again? Maybe but perhaps when it goes in the opposite direction.Date of review: November 14, 2011
Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Interesting but hard workIn full: Beautiful scenery but don't run this for PB. It's narrow and the surface is tough. Still - a really nice race helpded by the glorious weather.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: Not one for your PB, but a great fun, friendly race. Highly recommended.Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: My first half. Lovely run helped by good weatherIn full: One bottleneck just after start due to a gate . Maybe more than 2 waves might help. Also a few beware runners signs may have made it more obvious to non runners. Also a louder pa system, we struggled to hear. However plenty of marshals, good pre race info and nice medal. Would do again and try and better my time. Very scenic . Await photos !Date of review: November 14, 2011
In short: point to pointless.In full: sorry to to sound harsh guys, but this really wasn't for me, the pathways were far to narrow to pick up any reasonable momentum, actually started feeling sorry for the locals by half way , especially the grey haired old lady, out for a stroll in her best bib and tucker, clinging on to the sidings for dear life, and the poor lass who badly sprained her ankle, and had to wait for an age to get some medical attention. this along with the fisherman, dog walkers, cyclist's, trail walkers, leisure runners running the other way, oh plus the barge people, made this more of a sunday morning group training run that a race. lovely weather was a bonus, Date of review: November 13, 2011
In short: Scenic route, narrow in places, well organisedDate of review: November 13, 2011

Looking to get started right and read my story about how I and my entire family lost weight and got healthy following a Paleo-style diet? I included many of our favorite meals and even a great shopping list!
- 3-4 pounds Pork Shoulder or Pork Roast (with the fat!), cubed
- 1 pound Pork Liver, cut into cubes
- 1 large Onion, shaved
- 4 cloves Garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons frsh Ground Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Allspice
- 1/2 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground Cloves
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon ground Cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon Old Bay
1. FREEZE the Pork and liver. Then use the food processor to make it into grainy pebbles. Don't process too much or is will become mush too quickly.
2. Butter melted in pan, add onion and garlic. Cook until soft. Add the spices and cook for a few more minutes.
3. Mix the onion mixture and liver mixture together. Process them into a paste.
4. Press into a loaf pan. Place a cake pan in the oven and pour in boiling water. Place the loaf pan in the cake pan.
5. Bake at 300 degrees for about 2 hours. Make sure water stays filled in pan.
6. Remove from over and allow to cool. Cover with plastic and put in refrigerator for a day or 2. This allows the mixture to cure and mix flavors.

These perm/repro collections are confusing... are they for real?
Well, maybe my account will finally find a balance as I don't have to get much new stuff. Like Katred, I already have so many of these... 2 e/s of 3 quads (2 Manilla Papers, but only ONE Showstopper... ). Anyways, the green palette is on my list (although I have B&B already).

New Delhi, May 29: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Thursday said he had given up his Vadodara Lok Sabha seat in Gujarat and retained the Varanasi seat in Uttar Pradesh.
"I will represent Varanasi in (the) Lok Sabha and I look forward to this wonderful opportunity to serve Ganga Maa and work for Varanasi's development," Modi said in a series of tweets.
"I assure (the) people of Vadodara I will leave no stone unturned in ensuring that Vadodara's development scales newer heights in the years to come."
In another tweets, the former Gujarat chief minister said: "Resigned from Vadodara LS seat. Due to people's affection, got elected by historic margin. Will always remain grateful to people of Vadodara."

At the same time, board member John McPartland was selected as vice president. McPartland's district includes Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, Sunol, San Ramon, and parts of Castro Valley, Hayward, and Danville.
Franklin represents District 3, which covers Kensington, Piedmont, San Leandro, San Lorenzo, and portions of Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, and Castro Valley. He was elected to the nine-member board in 2004.
After recognizing the work of outgoing board president James Fang, Franklin outlined his priorities for the upcoming year, including replacing the system's aging fleet of train cars, improving community relations and fostering a positive relationship with employees.
"We have the oldest fleet for an agency of our type, with cars that average 30 years old," Franklin said, adding that by the time the cars are replaced, the average age will be 51 years old.

The pen is mightier...
Joe Klein had some choice words for New York Times book critic Michiko Kakutani. Kakutani wrote a rather scathing review of Bill Clinton's memoir My Life(Knopf2004). The review appeared in Sunday's Times on the front cover and has become news in itself. Klein's feeling towards the review was that she was reaching too far for a ripping read and missed the point of the book.
"…I think she needs to find a day job for God's sake, she has been reviewing for 40 years, I think there should be a statute of limitations for columnists and critics…"
Where does this animosity come from? Perhaps…the review of Klein's book by Kakutani, The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton(Broadway Books2002), two years ago. Katutani had similar sentiment for Klein:
"The subtitle of Joe Klein's new book, "The Natural: The Misunderstood Presidency of Bill Clinton," suggests that the author is going to give us a new take on the Clinton presidency, that he is going to correct what he sees as misapprehensions about that administration, or provide a new take on Bubba.
The truth of the matter is: he doesn't."
Barbed words on both sides.

Guide to Gambling in Asia
Asian Betting Options » Guide to Gambling in Asia
There are many different Asian betting options available to you if you know where to look. Whether you are going to be visiting areas of Asia or want to find online casino games to play from your computer, you will be able to do so quite easily, and there is plenty of entertainment to be found in this way. Some Asian games have become very popular in the Western world, leading to a proliference of them in land based and online casinos run by companies with American or European origins – and a legion of fans in the world of gambling.
One of the most popular Asian betting options of the moment, according to one of the top online gambling resources, gamblinginasia.com, which has quietly been growing in popularity for several decades as a contender to bingo's numbered game of chance, is keno. In this game you attempt to guess which twenty numbers will be drawn at random in the next round, and you get a higher payout the more of them you are able to get right. The odds are amazing with this game – no one has ever been able to make a match of all twenty because it is just so unlikely! However, this is not a problem, since most casinos pay out the same for twenty matches as they would for eighteen or nineteen – meaning that you can hit the jackpot without having to perform the impossible. This can be a really fun game to play, combining the social element of bingo with the thrill of lottery games to create a unique experience that will capture your imagination.
Sic Bo is another popular Asian game which has earned its place in land based casinos for many years now. This dice game has become a staple that you will see in the table games area at any casino, and the online venues are no exception. With so many options available, this has managed to hold its own and remain popular amongst more well known games such as poker and craps, showing what an entertaining and worthwhile game many people consider it to be. These days, the switch to the online medium also means that there are a lot of other games that are being adapted for gambling purposes: you will be able to find casino versions of classic Asian games such as Sudoku and mah-jong, which previously would have been played for fun but are now more seriously used as a way to gamble against the house on the outcome of the game.
If you are visiting the countries in which these games originated in the first place, of course, you will have many more Asian betting options to choose from. Areas such as Macau and Singapore are now becoming famous for their high quality casino resorts, which can encompass enough entertainment and facilities for whole cities inside their huge complexes. Macau has even stolen the title of the capital of the gambling world from Las Vegas, so if you want Asian gambling this is the best place.

Yesterday, Jonah posted a video that showed Swizz Beats unveiling and performing what is supposedly the Knicks' entrance song for 2012-13 at the team's Tip-Off Party at the Beacon Theatre.
Now, while I'm all for Swizz Beats (I am. He's great. I'm not mad 'cause he, 'cause he's hood rich), I feel like there are too many other suitable songs for this team to be introduced to. When The Garden's PA guy is elongating 'Melo's name (Caaarmeeelooo Aaanthonayyy) or screaming STAT's (Amar'e STOUDEMIRE), I don't really want to hear an original production in the background.
For the past two seasons, the Knicks used "Run This Town" by Jay-Z, Kanye West and Rihanna. While one season of this song was probably enough, it was perfect. Actually, had they waited, with the arrival of the Nets in Brooklyn, it probably would have been ideal for this season more than the others. The song's intro was simple, but you knew what it was when it started:
"Feel it comin' in the air… Hear the screams from everywhere… Only thing that's on my mind… Is who's gonna run this town tonight?"
The Knicks need a song that everybody knows, and one that everybody can sing along to. Last season, the Thunder used "Paris" by Jay-Z and Kanye West. While the people of Oklahoma City probably didn't appreciate the song upon its release, they did once their team started using it.
This team doesn't need to be original. They need something to get their crowd going. They need something turn The Mecca back into The Mecca. That's why I've compiled this list of potential songs, in hopes that somebody sees it and keeps Swizz Beats from blaring throughout the speakers on November 2.
"Clique" – Big Sean, Jay-Z & Kanye West:
This is a simple choice. It's three rap superstars bragging about why nobody can compete with their faction. Hov mentions LeBron in verse two, but that will surely be overshadowed by the Garden crowd's enthusiasm. Plus the obvious; "Clique" sounds a lot like "Knick."
"Hypnotize" – The Notorious B.I.G.:
Does anybody symbolize the city of New York better than Big? The late, great hip-hop legend has been gone for 15 years, and everybody still knows what song is coming up when the bass drops. Just ask Yankee icon Derek Jeter; he's been using this as an at-bat song for his entire career.
"Da Rockwilder" – Method Man and Redman:
This song starts off with sirens. It works on two levels — if you want to warn the visiting team that the Knicks are ready to play or if you want to make a joke about Amar'e and fire hydrants. Still, though, these two former Wu-Tang members produced a classic with this hit, and it softens as it goes on, making it easier to hear the player introductions.
"Start It Up" – Lloyd Banks, Fabolous, Kanye West & Swizz Beats:
Alright, fine. You want to work Swizz Beats into this somehow? This is how you do it. You get one rap super-duper-star in Mr. West and team him up with two of New York's finest. Nobody in hip-hop represents The City nowadays better than Banks and Fab, and what better way to show the world that, in spite of rap's uprising from other parts of the country, New York still has some tricks up its sleeve?

How to Plot Polar Coordinates
The polar coordinate system is a two-dimensional coordinate system in which each point on a plane is determined by a distance from a fixed point (the origin, by default) and an angle from a fixed direction (the positive direction of x-axis, by default).
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Understand the notation. A point having polar coordinates looks like (r, θ). When such a point is connected to the origin with a line segment, the length of that line segment shall be r units and this line segment will make an angle of θ radians from the positive direction of the x-axis.
- Consider plotting a point with polar coordinates (4, π/3).
2Draw a circle having a radius of 4 units keeping the origin as its center.
3Draw a line emanating from the origin, making an angle of π/3 radians (60 degrees) counter-clockwise from the positive direction of the x-axis and intersecting the circle drawn in the last step. A protractor will be helpful in carrying out this step.
4Mark the point where the line drawn in the last step intersects the circle. This is the point having polar coordinates (4, π/3).

Speaker Notes:
Using PBES can facilitate meeting several key needs:
Minimizes Traffic Impacts of Bridge Construction Projects
Using prefabricated bridge elements and systems means that time-consuming formwork, concrete curing, and other tasks associated with fabrication can be done offsite in a controlled environment without affecting traffic.
Improves Construction Zone Safety
Bringing prefabricated superstructures and substructures to the site ready for installation reduces disturbance to the land surface at the site, and it reduces the amount of time required onsite for heavy equipment. Keeping equipment out of sensitive environments is less disruptive for those environments
Improves Constructability
Many job sites impose difficult constraints on the constructability of bridge designs— heavy traffic on an Interstate highway that runs under the bridge being constructed, difficult elevations, long stretches over water, or restricted work areas due to adjacent properties, to name a few. Using prefabricated bridge elements and systems relieves such constructability pressures.
Increases Quality and Lower Life Cycle Costs
Prefabricating bridge elements and systems takes them out of the critical path of the project schedule: work can be done ahead of time, using as much time as necessary, in a controlled environment. This reduces dependence on weather and increases quality control of the resulting bridge elements and systems. All projects that use prefabricated bridge elements and systems increase the quality of their components; most also lower life cycle costs.
Speaker Notes:
While there are many means that methods that contribute to ABC, we will mostly focus on Prefabricated elements such as deck panels and sub and superstructure assemblies. Look for the use of Self Propelled Modular Transporters in upcoming slides.
Speaker Notes:
Preformed steel piles can consist of H-sections, box sections, but also tubular sections, which usually are not filled with concrete after driving.
Driven steel piles have high load-carrying capacity for a given weight of pile, which can reduce driving costs.
Steel pilescan have a high carrying capacity, when driven to a hard stratum can withstand even hard driving without risk of damage can readily be cut down and re shaped for further driving cause relatively small soil displacement can be readily extended/spliced without much delay by welding or splicing, thus long piles can be installed without the need of a very long leader can be readily cut if not driven to full penetration, and the cut-off portions can be reused or have value as scrap material can be roughly handled without risk of damage can have good resistance to lateral forces and buckling can be easily combined with water jetting and grouting.
Speaker Notes:
Proven technology:
Developed for Offshore Structures Industry: To meet the construction demands for deep water fixed offshore platforms, modular tubular steel braced frames proved successful. The full depth space frames are fabricated on shore, transported to the offshore site, launched from the construction barge, positioned on the seafloor, and piles are driven to fix the structure to the seabed.
Modular Tubular Steel Technology has been applied worldwide over 70 years on more than 5,000 fixed offshore platforms.
It has been successfully used in
Tubular Steel Bridge foundations significantly reduce the overall bridge construction schedule. Combined with precast elements, it can save motorists almost 90% of the typical user delay costs.
Source: Introduction to Tubular Steel Piers by Will Reeves
Speaker Notes:
Substructure: Bent Caps:
Cast-in-place bent caps require sequential construction processes, including extensive formwork erection and removal, as well as concrete curing time. If they are fabricated offsite, these sequential processes are not a factor. As a result, bridge owners and contractors are turning to prefabricated bent caps:
For over-water bridges, they reduce the amount of time that workers need to operate over water.
For bridges over existing roadways, they reduce the disruption to traffic on the lower roadway.
For bridges with job-site constraints, such as power lines that affect work zone safety, they limit the amount of time that workers are at risk.
Precast Decks on Steel Framing
Speaker Notes:
Superstructure: Decks
Prefabrication offers exceptional advantages for deck construction, particularly for removing deck placement from the critical path of bridge construction schedules, for cost to place the deck, and for quality of the deck.
Precast Concrete Panel Systems
Speaker Notes:
Full depth precast concrete panel system shown provides for the driving surface.
Longitudinal openings provide access for tensioning cables. As more and more panels are added, cables are tensioned to pull panels together. Once the tensioning strands reach the appropriate tensile stress, the openings are filled, engaging the shear studs, and locking the panels into place. Because the panels are pulled together, there is no need for grout within the transverse joints between panels.
For wider applications, a longitudinal closure pour is required.
Precast Decks on Steel Framing
Speaker Notes:
Deck options: Steel Grid Decks, FRP Decks, Partial Depth Deck Forms (which remain in place)
Full-depth prefabricated bridge decks (shown here) facilitate and speed construction, and bridge designers are finding innovative ways to connect full-depth panels to ensure durable connection details.
Partial deck forms (not shown) remain in place indefinitely and provide a good working platform. Partial deck example is the Tapan Zee bridge in New York.
Speaker Notes:
Instead of just laying girders and then a cast in place deck... Lay modules down and connect in place for faster construction. Modules can even come with barriers already in place
Speaker Notes:
Minimal impact on motorists was a project goal for replacement of the superstructure of the I-95/James River Bridge, which carries approximately 110,000 vehicles per day through the city of Richmond. After considering alternatives, the Virginia Department of Transportation opted for night-only construction, most of which occurred between 7 PM and 6 AM Sunday through Thursday nights. During nighttime construction, one lane of traffic was kept open in each direction. For most spans, bridge preconstructed composite units (PCU's), which include an 8-¾-inch deck over steel plate girders, were precast at a nearby casting yard and then transported to the work site. Work crews cut out the old bridge span and removed it, prepared the gap for the new PCU, and set the new PCU in place.
Used preconstructed composite units consisting of precast 8-¾-inch deck over steel plate girders. Minimized traffic disruption by facilitating replacement of the bridge superstructure without ever closing the highway to rush hour traffic.
MassDOT I-93 FAST 14 Project
Speaker Notes:
By building the bridges in sections, at locations away from the roadways, MassDOT greatly reduced the duration of on-site construction. By erecting the bridges over weekends, MassDOT did not impact weekday rush-hour traffic. To lessen the impact on local communities, MassDOT timed the work so that only one local street was impacted each weekend. MassDOT worked with emergency responders to ensure that emergency services operated without interruption throughout the project. The project team also distributed the work schedule widely to advise visitors, residents and commuters on how to avoid delays and reach their destinations and businesses during construction.
Speaker Notes:
Inverset – system built upside down – only one company in the country can do it – grouted shear key – variable girder spacing.
Great system for low volume roads.
Simple precast deck on simple girders (unlike Inverset where slab is cast inverted) – details are essentially the same as traditional bridge construction.
Simple cast in place construction.
Emulating a traditional cast in place deck with precast.
High early-strength concrete.
Speaker Notes:
You'll notice that the section shown in this slide looks very similar to what is called the "Inverset" system which we'll look at on the next slide.
Threaded dowls are part of the Link-Slab technology concept in which structural beam spans are not continuous while the deck elements ARE continuous over the length of the bridge.
The key is that these elements are jointless.
MassDOT finished the last bridge this last weekend with a total of 10 55-hour closures (each bridge was completed in less than 48 hours!)
Learning/Cost curve that McMinimee talks about:
1st weekend – 200 workers on site (tons of labor) because it was risky – they had not constructed a bridge in this manner before. Cost a lot of money.
By week 4 – number of workers onsite went down to 30 as they became comfortable with the technique.
With lower labor costs and higher efficiencies, the marginal cost of each bridge installed went down dramatically.
This is a great, real, example on how ABC using PBES can be successful.
What's important to take away from this slide is that just doing one bridge using ABC will make a positive difference, but states will get the most bang for their buck if they can work a multitude of ABC bridges into their portfolio.
Speaker Notes:
The Inverset system is a precast, pre-compressed concrete/steel composite superstructure made up of steel beams and a concrete slab that acts as a composite unit to resist its own dead load. The deck is cast upside down in forms suspended from steel girders, allowing the combined weight of the forms and the concrete to produce a prestressing effect on the girders. Also, when the units are turned over the concrete deck is then pre-compressed. The resulting compression in the concrete deck offers enhanced resistance to cracking. The fabrication of the units in a controlled environment allows for replacement of bridge sections even in the coldest winter months with minimal lane closure time. The systems can be fabricated in any width with a span ranging from 20' to over 100'. When shipping on highways, the width of the units is generally limited to 8 feet. They can also be skewed or contain vertical curves as the site dictates.
It should be noted that this bridge type was first introduced and patented under the brand name "Inverset" a play on Inverse – set (i.e. casting the deck upside down). Since then this patent has expired and the system is no longer proprietary.

Speaker Notes:
Great solution for short span bridges.
Length is limited by plant equipment capabilities (i.e. press break).
Mass Highway will be putting one into place this year.
Speaker Notes:
In essence, the steel deck acts as the top flange for the steel girder supporting the section. Because concrete is cast on the deck, composite action is acquired through the finished assembly.
Orthotropic deck bridges make sense for large spans due to their light weight.
Speaker Notes
Improve safety performance of structures and long–term safety improvement.
Light superstructure can be used to facilitate preassembly and rapid construction.
Closed girder sections can provide superior service life with less surface area subjected to weather.
Boxed girders or decked I-girders eliminates torsional failure modes during erection.
Conventional cross frames eliminated minimizing elevated assembly work.
Erected girders provide a safe working platform, essentially eliminating one source of construction worker fatalities.
Speaker Notes
The deck spans in two directions making it extremely stiff and able to carry the loads between girders.
Approach span to self-
anchored suspension
unit of the Oakland
Bay Bridge
Speaker Notes:
This image shows one particular approach span to the self-anchored suspension unit of the Oakland Bay Bridge, the remainder of the bridge is concrete.
Steel box beam with Orthotropic Deck
Speaker Notes:
Extreme example of a steel box beam with an orthotropic deck.
This is certainly considered a prefabricated bridge element.
Carquinez Bridge b/w
Crockett & Vallejo, CA
Speaker Notes:
This image is of the Carquinez Bridge between Crockett and Vallejo, CA.
In San Francisco, 24 bridge segments (like the one shown here) weighing over 800 tons are installed using a heavy lift ship and strand jacks.
Speaker Notes:
There are a lot of slides on orthotropic decks, but it should not be taken that they are the most important or best solution. Fabricators and researchers are working tirelessly to make orthotropic deck fabrication more cost effective, modular, and more efficient for smaller projects. Economies of scale could be achieved if the proper standards are developed.
I-80 State Street to 1300 East – Bridge Farm
Speaker Notes:
I-80 State Street to 1300 East – Bridge Farm (UDOT)
Superstructure: Total Superstructure Systems
Increasingly, innovative bridge designers and builders are finding ways to prefabricate entire superstructures. Pre-constructed composite units may include steel or concrete girders prefabricated with a composite deck, cast off the project site and then transported and lifted into place in one operation. Truss spans also can be prefabricated. Prefabrication this scale offers tremendous potential advantages in terms of improved constructability, reduced onsite construction time, and reduced time that equipment is on the construction site.
Speaker Notes:
An example to show size and context.
Providence River Bridge Arch
Video Link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vROwFWDNe1c
Speaker Notes:
Example: Providence River Bridge Arch
The bridge was assemble on the ground where girders were at worker eye level which made it very efficient. SPMTs move a fully pre-assembled network tied arch bridge onto (2) 300-foot barges.
Floated structure weighing 2500 tons 12 miles (3 hours) up Narragansett Bay Barges used the tide to slowly lower the bridge onto its piers.
Link to video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vROwFWDNe1c&feature=player_embedded
Acrow Panel Bridges
Arroyo Malo Bridge – 2006
Speaker Notes:
Example: Arroyo Malo – 2006
Large orthotropic deck units are designed to handle heavy wheel loads such as those created by the American loadings of HS20, HS25 or HL93. Wheel loads from the bridge design standards of other countries can be accommodated also.
The plate deck surface readily accepts surface overlays, such as asphalt or epoxy aggregates.
They are easily transported using standard trucks or standard dry ocean containers and they are quickly and easily erected.
Acrow Bridges can be rolled in full cantilever (launched) from one side of a river gorge or they can be lifted into place.

Illinois News Roundup for August 27
Published on August 27 2012 2:07 pm
Last Updated on July 14 2013 12:07 pm
Written by Greg Sapp
>>Quinn Vetoes Plastic Bags Ban
(Chicago, IL) -- Governor Quinn has vetoed the "plastic bag bill" and that's good news for one Grayslake teenager, who hand-delivered 175-thousand signatures to Quinn last month expressing concern over the proposal. Abby Goldberg received a phone call from the governor Saturday night. She tells the "Chicago Tribune" she was extremely excited about Quinn calling her personally to share the news. Goldberg's fight began after she started an initiative to ban plastic bags in her hometown last year in an effort to clean up the streets and save the environment. The bill would have prevented her hometown from doing so.
>>Illinois College Football Coach Cited For Unethical Behavior
(Jacksonville, IL) -- The football coach at Illinois College in Jacksonville has been cited for disregarding NCAA recruiting rules. He and his assistant coaches sent out 515 impermissable text messages to potential recruits between 2008 and 2011. NCAA officials say the coaches had been educated regarding the propriety of text messages and knew they weren't allowed during that time. The school is now on three year's probation and the coaches won't be allowed to text potential recruits for football, men's golf, or men's swimming until after April 30th of next year.
>>Team Plates Available For Motorcycles
(Springfield, IL) -- Chicago sports tags are now available for motorcycles. Secretary of State Jesse White says Cubs, White Sox, Bears, Bulls, and Blackhawks plates are now available to the bikers. It costs 66-bucks to get a random number plate. There is an additional fee for a specialty plate. Twenty five dollars from each sale will help fund education in Illinois. For more information, check out CyberDriveIllinois.com
>>Law Aims To Improve Kid's Health
(Chicago, IL) -- A new law in Illinois aims to strengthen physical education in the state's schools. Governor Pat Quinn signed the legislation this past weekend, calling on Illinois residents to get healthy and take his "Walk Across Illinois Challenge." The new law creates a Task Force to examine ways to improve physical education and find ways on both the state and federal levels to pay for the improvement. It's based on recent studies that show PE benefits students both physically and mentally.
>>Record Number Of Applicants At U of I
(Chicago, IL) -- The University of Illinois says a record number of prospective freshmen applied this year for admission to its three campuses in Champaign-Urbana, Springfield, and Chicago. Officials say it received 48-thousand applications for about ten-thousand 200 openings in the freshmen class. The main campus in Champaign-Urbana received the most applications, a record 31-thousand 454 for about 69-hundred available seats.
>>UI Students Set World Record At Quad Day Festivities
(Urbana, IL) -- A new Guinness World Record is set in Urbana thanks to students at the University of Illinois. Reports say that students attending yesterday's Quad Day set a World Record when 2,262-people signed up to be organ donors. The previous Guinness Record for signing organ donors in one day was 766. Quad Day is the annual get-together on the Urbana campus to commemorate students' return to school.

Obstacles to Breastfeeding
What Was Your Biggest Obstacle to Breastfeeding?
Like us on Facebook
Today, US Surgeon General Regina Benjamin will issue a report outlining steps "all sectors of the community" can take to remove the hurdles women face when trying to breastfeed during the first six months of a baby's life. While the new health care laws require employers of large companies to provide new moms with dedicated time and space for pumping (not including the bathroom), the nation's highest ranking medical professional says there are more obstacles to be cleared. Perhaps one of the first places she should look is the I.R.S.'s decision to tax breast pumps, rather than considering them a medical care expense.

Bacterial growth that may affect the bristles is inhibited. The agent in the bristles does not protect against disease. As always, rinse your brush after use.
Product's Review
- By : Ye yuan 5 Very good
Very convenient and soft
- By : Smitty 5 Best travel brush I've ever had
- I've had this brush in my backpacking gear for a year. Durable and convenient. I hate the old two piece style that the head always falls out of the handle. Now that I have one, I can't find them again in local stores. Glad I found it on line here. Will order a stockpile for future use and my kids.
- By : Jill 1 on-th-go toothbrush
- Very poor product, poor construction - plastic broke on first use. Waste of my hard earned dollars. Does not deserve a 1 Star rating, however website won't process and submit unless I chose a rating.
- By : RL 2 Breaks during first use!
- I bought four of these brushes because I liked the design. Unfortunately they are so cheaply made that they break during the first use. A real piece of garbage. Stay away from this product.
- By : DickB 5 Great for Travel
- My wife and I have used our on-the-go brushes on several trips, US and International, and have found them to be effective and efficient. Contrary to other reviews, they are durable. We will buy more for ourselves and traveling children.

text: After due deliberation, we have decided to go with an Apache license for Cosmo (OSAF's WebDAV/CalDAV server). The Apache license, having many fewer restrictions, is, broadly speaking, developer friendly. Specifically, the Apache license is better suited if we want commercial developers to use or incorporate Cosmo, as opposed to develop their own. This has proven a key dynamic with Apache itself. We recognize that going with the Apache license arguably forecloses the revenue opportunity from a hybrid license approach as we have planned for the chandler client. However, it does not eliminate the possibility of generating revenue from a hosted service offering. On balance, going with the Apache license makes sense because we to promote the goal of widespread adoption and are less sensitive to the revenue issue. Sheila Mooney and Pieter Hartsook will be working out the details so developers can legally download the code. Thanks for your patience.

2014 World Cup: German legend Franz Beckenbauer disregards Ghana threat, says Germany will walk over Group G opponents
By Ameenu Shardow
Follow on Twitter @alooameenu
German legend Franz Beckenbauer is bullish over the chances of his country at the 2014 World Cup, insisting Ghana will pose no significant threat to their progress in Brazil.
The three time winners are considered to be in one of the toughest groups at the upcoming finals having been drawn against Ghana, Portugal and USA in Group G.
Many pundits however consider Joachim Low's side as the firm favourites to win the group and even go on as real favourites to win the tournament which kicks off on June 12.
Franz Beckenbauer who won the World Cup as a player and as a coach for Germany is backing his country to bulldoze their way through Group G with cheeky ease with no regard to the threats posed by all the group opponents including the Black Stars.
"Let's take a look at the group that contains Germany, USA, Ghana and Portugal. The group is not especially strong and not especially weak," he said.
"Most groups are mixed rather well, with an exception: The group with Italy, England and Uruguay.
"The US team develops constantly, have good players, but not strongly enough to endanger Germany.
"In the same roll I see Ghana. And Portugal exists to me too much of Cristiano Ronaldo. Germany will take this group."
The German's were slim 1-0 winners when they last played Ghana at the World Cup four years ago in South Africa.
There is however a subtle growing believe that the Black Stars will be able to pull up a surprise by beating the European powerhouse when they face off in the second Group G game on June 21 in Fortaleza.

Good morning! Why am I awake at 5:00 AM? The Juvenile Arthritis March (JAM) fundraising walk is this morning at the Mall of America! I'm taking photos again for the fourth year, I think? It's always such a great, positive event – usually with a large turnout. I'll post a link to the photos once I get them uploaded. Although I'm not sure if I'll have time to do that before I leave for the Advocacy Summit in D.C. Monday morning. Yikes! I can't believe I'm leaving so soon for that already.

We are made for this moment
January 22, 2013
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." – The Declaration of Independence, 1776
So I am a day late posting this, but better late than never, right? I didn't tune in to ALL of the inauguration coverage that was happening yesterday (and before yesterday), but I did catch some of it and listened to President Obama's speech, which I liked. I'm glad that he mentioned health care reform in it, because of course that is something I am passionate about and support. Publicly debating politics or getting preachy about political issues isn't really my thing, but I will stand up for what I believe in and I don't expect others to agree with me. I voted for Obama again this election, as I did four years ago and I'm incredibly happy that he won. I suppose I would consider myself a Moderate Liberal – more fiscally conservative but socially liberal. I'm not for outrageous wasteful government spending (who is, really?), but I also believe in many of the social programs that exist to help people. And of course health care is a huge issue for me and one that has affected my own life, very personally, in so many ways. Speaking of that – I've been having some major health and arthritis-related things going on over the last month, which I will update about after this post. I promise!
Health care should not be a luxury or privilege for few, but it should be seen as a basic human right, and this I believe with my whole heart and mind. I don't blindly think President Obama or the Democrats are perfect by any means, but I do sincerely hope that the President and people across all parties will realize the importance of improving our corrupt, archaic, and broken health care system and will do something about it. There are too many people suffering just in our own country because they can't get decent, affordable medical care when or if they need it. This is wrong and must change.
Anyway, here are some quotes from President Obama's speech yesterday that stuck with me:
"For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it.
We, the people, still believe that every citizen deserves a basic measure of security and dignity. We must make the hard choices to reduce the cost of health care and the size of our deficit.
We do not believe that in this country freedom is reserved for the lucky or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us at any time may face a job loss or a sudden illness or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other through Medicare and Medicaid and Social Security, these things do not sap our initiative. They strengthen us.
It is now our generation's task to carry on what those pioneers began, for our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts.
That is our generation's task, to make these works, these rights, these values of life and liberty and the pursuit of happiness real for every American."

Summit recap
April 30, 2012
Apologies for taking a while to post again, but I'm dealing with an RA flare-up now – my right thumb and forefinger joints are painful and swollen from yard work I did last week. I know I shouldn't have been raking and pulling weeds, etc., but I was working for a friend who agreed to pay me to clean up his yard. As I am currently unemployed, well, I needed the money. But in retrospect I wouldn't have done it if I had known my hand was going to flare up. I have a rheumatologist appointment tomorrow and I'm hoping he can give me a cortisone injection to make this go away. I've been taking 20 mg of prednisone for weeks and I'm pretty desperate to get off of it.
Anyway, onto the Summit news! I can't stress enough how glad I am that I decided to attend The Arthritis Foundation's Advocacy Summit in D.C. The event was incredibly organized and professional which I found impressive. It was also exciting and empowering just to be with people who were all passionate about improving the lives of those who suffer from arthritis. I met so many nice, interesting people who either have arthritis themselves or have children who have the disease. I loved talking with many of them and hearing their own stories. The Summit also ignited much more of an interest and passion in me to continue doing advocacy work. Actually, I think I would really like to move to D.C. if possible. I fell in love with the city almost immediately and could seriously see myself living there. I don't know how difficult it would be to relocate, but I decided I'm going to try.
Arthritis Summit Day 2
April 18, 2012
It's 1:15 AM and I'm exhausted but I want to write a little update about yesterday's events. My Minnesota group met with Senator Al Franken yesterday evening at his office on Capitol Hill. The meeting went well, I think, and he seemed interested and receptive to what we had to say regarding him supporting arthritis issues and the Patients' Access to Treatments Act of 2012 (H.R. 4209). Supporting this bill would help improve access to medications for people with arthritis which can prevent disability. It would also end the discrimination and excessive cost-sharing of these medications with regard to insurance companies forcing patients to pay incredibly high co-pays and co-insurance because of how many of the drugs are designated as "specialty tier" medications (i.e. biologic medications which cost thousands of dollars per treatment/month – I currently take one of these, Remicade). Even though Senator Franken spent about 25 minutes with us (which is a long time for these meetings, we were told), I admit I am disappointed that I didn't get a chance to talk to him and tell him my story of living with arthritis. I didn't even get to say my name! So, yeah, that's a bummer – especially since he is the one legislator with whom I was looking forward to speaking. Oh well. Hopefully I'll get another chance sometime.
Today was a really good day though. The weather was warm and sunny and beautiful. Walking around the Capitol was a surreal experience – I couldn't believe I was actually there. Our group also sat in for a bit on a session of the House and that was really interesting to see. Other fantastic things yesterday included inspiring, motivating speeches and training we had before our Senate meetings. I continue to meet really nice, wonderful people from all over the country who are here for the summit. And, kind of fun, yesterday evening after dinner I did a little radio interview and talked a bit about how arthritis affects my life. These "hometown radio interviews" are supposed to get passed on to our local stations, however nobody can tell me more information about when they'll air. It was fun to do though! After Day 2 of the summit, I'm incredibly wiped-out and my ankles are killing me, but I'm also more energized and motivated now than I have been in a long time. The inspiration and excitement continues…to Day 3, I hope!
And – I did start to upload some photos to Flickr if you're interested:
Ok, time to pass out.
Hello from DC!
April 16, 2012
Well I made it to Washington, D.C. today and through the first day of the Arthritis Advocacy Summit. Most of the day was spent traveling though, so I am really exhausted (I only got about three hours of sleep last night, which didn't help). I made it in time for the group dinner and first advocacy training which outlined our agenda for the rest of the summit and especially our Senate and House meetings on Capitol Hill. Tomorrow are the Senate meetings. This morning and during my flights I was feeling kind of anxious and nervous about participating in the summit – not knowing what to expect, I suppose. But after meeting up with my friend Trish (who works for the Arthritis Foundation's Upper Midwest Region chapter and is our group leader) and then meeting the other people in our group, I feel much more comfortable and excited about being here. Listening to other leaders speak about what we'll be doing on Capitol Hill was also really inspiring. So yes, I am VERY GLAD I decided to do this! I'm excited to see how the meetings go tomorrow and to just be on Capitol Hill and being a part of our governmental process. I hope I'll be able to pull myself together and sound halfway intelligent when I have to speak to the legislators to tell them about my passion for arthritis advocacy and about my own personal story of how arthritis affects my life. I think I can do it though.
Anyway, I just wanted to give a little update on Day 1 of the summit. I've already met some really nice people from all over the country who all have incredible arthritis stories of their own. And I'm quite impressed with the event so far. I'll try to update every day while I'm in D.C., but now I must collapse into bed.
The Patient Access to Critical Therapies Act
March 9, 2012
I've been trying to get more involved doing arthritis advocacy work and recently I've been sending emails to my senators and representatives in Washington, D.C. urging them support various arthritis issues and legislation. Here's the transcript of the email I sent today to Representative Erik Paulsen (R). I have no idea if he actually reads any of these, but I figure that it can't hurt to try, so I'll keep sending them. Hopefully someone is reading them.
If you want to send an email or letter to urge your representative to support this legislation, click HERE.
Please Co-Sponsor the Patient Access to Critical Therapies Act!
March 9, 2012
Dear Representative Paulsen,
As someone deeply concerned about arthritis, I am writing to ask you to
become an original cosponsor of legislation to improve access to the
critical treatments that can keep me, and my loved ones, active and
productive citizens. Biologic drugs can now prevent patients with
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis,
from becoming disabled, seriously ill, or even dying.
Unfortunately, many health insurance policies are moving these critical
medications, such as biologics, into "specialty tiers" that utilize high
patient cost-sharing methods known as "co-insurance". This
fourth/specialty tier now commonly requires patients to pay a percentage
of the cost of medication – anywhere from 20% to 50%, which can often be
hundreds or even thousands of dollars each month for a single medication –
rather than a fixed co-payment amount.
Congressman David McKinley is introducing legislation later this month,
the Patient Access to Critical Therapies Act (PACTA), that would treat
these specialty drugs the same as Tier III non-preferred drugs. Under his
legislation, commercial health insurers would impose the same co-payment
obligations for specialty drugs as they already do for Tier III
medications. Providing insured patients access to these treatments will
allow me and many more of your constituents to remain in the workforce,
raise their families, and avoid becoming permanently disabled or seriously
I urge you to step forward and become an original co-sponsor of PACTA and
support your constituents who have chronic, life threatening, and
disabling conditions. Please contact the Legislative Health Assistant in
Rep. McKinley's office, at x54172, to become a co-sponsor of this
I have been on several of these "specialty" biologic drugs since about
2003 and I am also constantly in debt and trying to keep my head above
water to pay for these medications. If I don't have the medication I will
most certainly become crippled. There are so many people out there in
similar situations to mine, and it's not fair that we must be at the mercy
of the insurance companies and the drug companies just in order to live a
relatively normal life. People shouldn't have to suffer because they can't
afford to pay for medications. Please help.
Thank you very much.
