Inspector General To Reexamine NIH Conflict-of-Interest Cases, Oversight
The Health and Human Services department is reexamining the cases of 103 scientists exonerated by the National Institutes of Health after they failed to disclose their outside financial ties to private industry, the Associated Press reported last week. The inspector general's investigation will include a review of the agency's new conflict-of-interest rules, which were adopted in the wake of a 2003 Los Angeles Times investigation. That report turned up a half dozen senior scientists at NIH who earned hundreds of thousands of dollars a year from their outside dealings with private drug and medical device companies. At least one, Trey Sunderland, who headed the agency's geriatric psychiatry branch, last December pleaded guilty to failing to report over $500,000 in outside income from Pfizer Inc. He agreed to forfeit $300,000 while spending two years on supervised probation.
Meanwhile, Inspector General Daniel Levinson told Rep. John Dingell, chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, that he will also investigate NIH's oversight of conflict-of-interest policies at the universities and non-profit research institutions that receive 80 percent of the agency's $28 billion budget. While NIH requires institutions receiving grants to adopt such policies, the agency conducts virtually no oversight and has no rules regulating the behavior of government grant recipients who double dip on industry payrolls.
FDA Okays Conflicts on Committee Considering Merck's New Pain Pill
The Food and Drug Administration last week gave three scientists, including two with financial ties to Merck, permission to serve on an advisory committee and to vote on the fate of the company's new Cox-2 inhibitor pain pill. The Arthritis Drugs Advisory Committee will consider Arcoxia (etoricoxib) when it meets later this month. Preliminary clinical trial data released by the company last year indicated Arcoxia raises blood pressure in some patients, but does not result in the same heart attack risk as Vioxx, the Cox-2 inhibitor Merck removed from the market in late 2004.
According to agency documents that were released last week, the committee will include Robert Levine, a gastroenterologist at the State University of New York, who owns between $25,000 and $50,000 in Merck stock. The FDA identified four gastroenterologists willing to take the slot, but two had more extensive conflicts than Levine. The FDA also granted a waiver to Kenneth Saag, a rheumatologist at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, who receives somewhere between $10,000 and $50,000 a year from Merck. Saag, the FDA said, is expert in analyzing large databases (Merck has tested the drug in over 35,000 patients) and the agency "was unable to find anyone as qualified." However, the agency admitted that it only scrutinized its current roster of advisers and employees of the National Institutes of Health to identify candidates. Committee chair Dennis Turk, an anesthesiology professor at the University of Washington, also received a waiver for the $10,000 a year or less he earns from a company that competes with Merck on unrelated issues.
All will be allowed to vote, according to the agency. The FDA recently issued a draft guidance that would ban scientists earning over $50,000 a year from private firms from serving on advisory committees. The guidance also would prohibit those earning less from voting, although they could be granted a waiver to serve. A recent analysis showed less than 10 percent of the outside scientists granted conflict-of-interest waivers by the FDA earn more than $50,000 a year from their corporate activities.
Interior IG: Top Wildlife Official Censored Endangered Species List
The Interior Department's Inspector General has confirmed allegations that Julie MacDonald, a 2002 Bush administration appointee who now runs the Fish, Wildlife, and Parks division, tampered with the Endangered Species Act listings generated by agency scientists. The charges by internal whistleblowers first surfaced in a Washington Post report last October that was based on documents obtained by the Union of Concerned Scientists. IG Earl Devaney told Congressional investigators that MacDonald, an engineer by training, "bullied, insulted, and harassed the professional staff of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife service to change documents and alter biological reporting regarding the Endangered Species program." The IG also accused MacDonald of disclosing "nonpublic" information to the conservative Pacific Legal Foundation, which mounts legal challenges to implementation of the Endangered Species Act.
Double Duty: Many Academic Leaders also Direct Health Care Corporations A majority of U.S. medical schools have leaders or faculty members who sit on boards of for-profit health care corporations ranging from drug companies and biotechnlogy start-ups to hospital chains, a new study shows. Scientists associated with the Foundation for Integrity and Responsibility in Medicine surveyed the boards of 164 publicly traded health care companies and found 200 board members who held faculty or administration positions at 65 of the nation's 125 medical schools. Individuals who sit on the boards of publicly-traded companies have a fiduciary responsibility to maximize the profits of those organizations. That could pose conflicts with their roles as researchers or administrators of research programs at the nation's medical schools, especially when research may threaten the interests of the private corporations. "Severe conflicts of interest may be more prevalent at U.S. academic medicine than was heretofore appreciated," noted the abstract for the paper, which will be presented later this month at the annual meeting of the Society of General Internal Medicine.
Odds and EndsThe Japanese health ministry is removing two conflicted researchers from a study group analyzing Tamiflu's side effects, Nature (subscription required) reports. . . The Environmental Protection Agency's Scientific Advisory Board wants nominees for an outside panel to review the agency's forthcoming acrylamide risk assessment. The carcinogen is present in low levels in many fried foods.

Featured in Vallarta Lifestyles Magazine, Winter/Spring 2007 issue.
Both a fruit and a vegetable, the indigenous prickly pear cactus has been a diet staple and the source of legends, magic and healing in this part of the world since Aztec times.
Named for the shape of its fruit and the barbs in its leathery skin, the yellow, pink, red and purple blossoms growing from the tip of this succulent's paddles — themselves a hallmark ingredient in Mexican cuisine called "nopales" — ripen into the prickly pear known locally as "tuna."
Prized for its many uses — food, libations, cosmetics, creams, medicines and even a paint and dye — this member of the Opuntia genus is said to regulate blood sugar, cure acne and alleviate arthritis symptoms.
Resembling a pomegranate, in that its sweet, juicy, high-fiber pulp is full of edible seeds, prickly pear smells much like a melon and tastes a little like kiwi fruit, only sweeter. It is often served chilled and peeled.

Whether you're tucking your suit in the drawer for winter or getting ready for the next trip, autumn is a great time to take stock of what suits are ready for the hot tub only pile and how to take care of your favorites.
Here are seven helpful tips to make your suits last.
1.) Try on suits before you wear in public. Fibers may have stretched and broken to the embarrassing point of falling off or becoming see-thru. Better to know before you go.
2.) Alternate suits to rest them. Alternating allows suits to go back to their original shape and reduces stretching. It also adds variety to your wardrobe and vacation pictures.
3.) Use older suits for the hot tub. They are stretched out a bit already. This will save your favorite suits from being boiled in chlorine. You can hear them screaming too!
4.) Avoid drying in the sun and rubbing on rough surfaces. Salt and chlorine dried on a suit in the sun will break down the fibers. Use the available shower for a quick rinse and dry off in the shade. We all know what rough surfaces do. :D
5.) Never use a washer or dryer to clean your suit. Just say no!
6.) Never use clothing detergents. They have more drying agents to weaken fibers.
7.) Wash by hand with a mild detergent. Even delicate fabric wash is not really made for suit care, so suit cleanser is best. http://www.canyonbeachwear.com/summer-solutions.html Suit cleanser will neutralize the chlorine and salt (they eat the suit) and add a conditioner to the fabric, so you know it's safe when you store it in your drawer for the next trip.
Now that you know how to take care of your favorites, you can start to build a beautiful vacation wardrobe that will last for years!

Community Cycles Launches Used Bike Collection Drive
Submitted by David on
Community Cycles Launches Used Bike Collection Drive Aug. 20-Sept. 15
BOULDER — Community Cycles, a nonprofit bike collective that serves Boulder County, has launched a used bike collection drive Aug. 20 through Sept. 15. The used bikes will be refurbished and recycled into the community through programs such as Community Cycles' popular Earn-A-Bike program and Fleet Programs.
Some of the used bikes are refurbished by volunteers and sold at greatly discounted prices or donation prices at annual events such as the University of Colorado Back to School Bike Sale and at the Community Cycles' Holiday Bike Giveaway. All bike proceeds are used to fund Community Cycles program and advocacy efforts for safe biking in Boulder County.
Used bikes, or accessories can be donated at Community Cycles, 2805 Wilderness Place, Suite 1000, Thursday through Sunday or Tuesdays from noon to 6 p.m.
"Our goal is to help people commute by bike. This is an important time for us as we can catch students when they return, get them on usable, affordable bikes, which cuts down on auto congestion and is healthy for students," said Sue Prant, Community Cycles' advocacy director.
Community Cycles recycles 2,000 bikes annually. All donations are tax deductible.

Diseases of the Eye That Cause...
Three-Dimensional Cell Culture Has Two Dimensions,...
Scientific Misconduct Is Jeopardizing the Quality...
Peptide Drugs Are Not Only Diverse...
BioMarker Strategies received a $1.5 million SBIR award to develop a pathway-based companion diagnostic test to facilitate the selection of optimal therapy for patients with melanoma. This award was preceded by an NCI award of $200,000 almost two years ago in September 2011.
The company used the funding from the first award to expand its predictive test development program for use in its automated SnapPath™ live tumor cell testing system. Initial tumor types included melanoma and breast cancer.
The $1.5 million second phase of the award will support the refinement of the PathMAP assay and ex vivo protocols developed in phase 1, and will also support PathMAP test validation in clinical samples.
"Targeted therapies now exist, including the BRAF inhibitor vemurafenib, that can help melanoma patients keep their cancer in check," said Douglas Clark, M.D., founder and CEO of BioMarker Strategies. "The challenge is to determine which individual patients are most likely to benefit from which therapy or combination of therapies. PathMAP is a pathway-based companion diagnostic assay that uses a patient's live tumor cells to provide better information, including patient resistance to therapy, to support targeted therapy selection for individual melanoma patients."

Archie Manning and Kenny Stabler
Meeting before a 1983 preseason game, former Saint Quarterback Archie Manning shakes hands with the present Saints Quarterback Kenny Stabler.
Archie Manning, after 11 years in a Saint uniform, was traded to Houston for Offensive Tackle Leon Gray by head coach Bum Phillips. Bum's reason's were pretty simple. "I need an offensive tackle and Archie doesn't tackle". Leon Gray would last all of 1 year in New Orleans. Kenny Stabler stayed a little longer - 3 years.

As we approach another celebration of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., it caused me to stop for a moment and think about the music that helped to define the civil rights movement. There are two songs, in particular, that when I hear them, I hear the dreams of a people hoping for a better life in America. The two are "A Change is Gonna Come" by Sam Cooke and "Keep on Pushing" by the Impressions. Both songs were released in 1964 at the height of the civil rights movement.
In "A Change is Gonna Come," Sam Cooke sings about the hardships that he's encountered, but ends each verse with "But I know that a change is gonna come, oh yes it will."
The Impressions exhorted Blacks to keep reaching higher through verses like, "Now look-a look-a look yonder, what's that I see? A great big stone wall stands there ahead of me. But I've got my pride and I'll move on aside and keep on pushin."
What's interesting to note is that both of these songs that were so important to the civil rights movement became songs of victory during ...

My work is focused on the history of Christianity in time period known as "late antiquity," roughly 300 C.E. to 700 C.E., and I am particularly interested in the rhetorical and historiographical methods Christians adopted as Christian culture shifted from being in the minority to being dominant in the later Roman Empire. My current project examines the subjective experience of death as imagined by late ancient Christians.
I teach introductory undergraduate courses on Christianity, as well as advanced undergraduate and graduate courses on Christianity in late antiquity, Gnosticism, asceticism, and theories of historiography. I also teach language courses for undergraduates and graduates in Greek, Coptic, and Syriac.

Look at Us, We're Beautiful captures the glamour of 48 women of the Mendocino coast, none who are professional models but showing that women of all walks of life are, in fact, beautiful.
Photo Artist Great photographic art is composed of three ingredients: an arresting subject, riveting composition, and appropriate lighting. Whether a single photograph or a composite, any photographic work can be improved. These convictions guide all my work. When creating, I let my imagination lead the way. Using only my best digital photographs as the raw material, I alter and composite in Photoshop, the ultimate and infinite darkroom, until a satisfying work of art emerges. My portraiture has the goal of capturing my subjects as they want to appear. We work together on setting, attire, mood, and pose until we are both elated with the result, no matter how many iterations are required. Visit my website to see the results of my efforts.

I was thinking of donating £1,000,000 to a charity related to protection for those who have incurred debts. I would do this with money I borrowed from a loanshark. Hopefully I would be jailed me when he found out that I couldn't repay it. I would go to prison despite having done nothing morally wrong, I would be able to have the psychological isolation which prison demands and that would introduce a reform of my character.
However, I realised that prison doesn't have a garden.

Today the Church observes the Feast of the Guardian Angels, and reflects on the fact that from the first moment of our existence, God assigns an angel to watch over us at every moment of our lives. Of course, this means that each unborn child has a guardian angel, too. If God cares enough about each unborn child to create that child and then assign him or her an angel, then certainly he expects us also to exercise some care and vigilance to speak up for and protect the lives of those children.
It also means that we can pray to the guardian angel of each unborn child we are trying to save, as well as to the angels of the mother and father of that child, that they will have the courage to choose life.

AG071: A Six-Pack Attack!
this wiki
A Six-Pack Attack! (Japanese: オーキド博士とオダマキ博士!秘密基地の戦い!! Prof. Oak & Prof. Birch! Secret Base Battle!!) is the 31st episode of Pokémon: Advanced Challenge.
Episode Plot
Ash sees his newest badge he won from Norman. He asks Brock where is the next Gym, so Brock tells him in Fortree City. However, Max and May remind him they need to see Prof. Birch first. They arrive in front of his lab, but a car goes past them, nearly crashing itself. The driver is Prof. Birch - he drove fast to meet Prof. Oak when he forgot to do it. Ash and Brock go with Birch while May and Max will stay in the lab for a while. Max is exceptionally happy to meet Prof. Oak in person.
While driving, Birch sees a Skarmory on a peak. While greeting it, he loses his sight of the road when a farmer passes. Fortunately, they pass him, however, the man seems somewhat familiar... At the lab, Max and May see the new Starter Pokémon with Birch's assistant. May remembers the day she got her Torchic, but Max annoys her so she goes after him. Max bangs into a man - it is Prof. Oak! Max is amazed to meet him, so he shows photos of Oak in the magazine he got. Oak makes an autograph for Max. Oak wonders where Ash and Brock are, so Birch's assistant says they got onto Birch's car and they drove down to the town to pick him up, but Oak went up, assuming Birch forgot about him.
Max wonders which Starter Pokémon are in Kanto, so Oak sends his own - Bulbasaur, Squirtle and Charmander. Team Rocket oversees the event, so Meowth thinks if he got all the six Pokémon, he'll be happy to have them as friends... Max is pleased to see Bulbasaur and touches its back, but Bulbasaur gets angry and tackles him. He goes to see the other two Pokémon, but Squirtle uses Water Gun and Charmander Ember when he touches them. Oak is amused, so he tells Max that he learned their attacks in a similar way. Bulbasaur wants to meet Max, so she shakes its vine. They see a giant Skiploom approaching them - it is Team Rocket.
Team Rocket steals all the Starter Pokémon, so May, Max and Oak go to save the Pokémon. Meanwhile, Ash, Brock and Birch wait for Oak, so Birch calls his assistant Joshua. He hears that Team Rocket has gone with the Starter Pokémon, so they need to after them as well. Oak knows that they did not just wander off so easily in a giant Skiploom and he notices something behind the waterfall. It is a cave, so they venture within. Joshua shows Birch Max's backpack, so they drive off, taking the bag.
Oak, Max and May sneak, but accidentally Oak goes through the laser, closing the main door and warning Team Rocket. They see the Pokémon and go after them, but fall into a hole. May goes to bring her Pokémon, but the Poké Balls are sucked into the vacuum cleaner and Team Rocket wanders off with the Pokémon. Birch drives quickly to the base (even if they aren't on the road). Max thinks he might be small enough to squeeze through the bars, but Oak asks if he can borrow his photos. Team Rocket celebrates, but James thinks they should see the captives. Meowth shows on camera they have nothing to worry about, even if a picture of Oak is displayed, fooling them.
Max squeezed through the bars and needs to free the Pokémon. Max needs to order the Pokémon to use a Fire, then a Water Attack and Tackle to set them free. Torchic and Charmander use Ember, followed by Squirtle and Mudkip who use Water Gun and, lastly, Treecko uses Pound and Bulbasaur Tackle to destroy the bars. The Pokémon are free. Birch whistles and a Poochyena appears. Poochyena smells Max's backpack and runs towards Max, so Birch, Brock and Ash follow it. The Pokémon free Oak and May, so they need to get May's Poké Balls back. May sees them partying, so Oak proposes a tactic. Team Rocket hear Zubat's Supersonic to distract them, while Bulbasaur gets May's Poké Balls.
They all go towards the entrance, but find it closed. An alarm is heard - Team Rocket sees them at the entrance and photo of Oak falling over. Meowth presses a button to seal them. Dugtrio appear, so they go falling through the tunnel. At the end of it, there is a lake with a sleeping Gyarados. Team Rocket go furious when they see Max, May, Oak and the Pokémon escaped through the hole. Team Rocket falls down as well, even if Jessie and James argue near the Gyarados. Gyarados wakes up and attacks them using Hydro Pump.
When they follow the Poochyena, Birch spots that Zubat live outside and Poliwrath in the lake (normally Poliwrath live near the waterfall and Zubat inside the caves). They arrived near the waterfall - the entrance of Team Rocket's base. Meanwhile, May, Max and Oak go towards the exit, but see it is sealed. Max yells through a small hole and Poochyena goes after the source. Ash, Brock and Birch hear Max's voice, so they need to free them. Oak studies the door and realizes they need to attack using a combination to destroy the door. They need to use Water attack and then Thunderbolt.
Brock sends Lombre and Mudkip - they use Water Gun on the door, with Pikachu following with Thunderbolt. Afterwards, May's Skitty, Squirtle, Mudkip and Bulbasaur tackle and Treecko pounds the door, releasing themselves. However, Team Rocket turn the Skiploom machine on and try to capture the Pokémon. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, but with little effect. Lombre and Mudkip attack with Water Gun, but with little difference. To destroy it, they need to use a combination of attacks.
Charmander and Torchic used Ember, Mudkip and Lombre used Water Gun, and Skitty used Blizzard - cracking the machine. Pikachu uses Thunder, destroying the machine and blasting them off. Anyway, the gang is seeing to leave Oak and Birch to go to Fortree City.
- Featured Pokémon: Slowking, Jolteon, Nidoqueen, Makuhita.
- At the beginning of the episode, a classic Pokémon identification can be seen. In this case, it is a Clefairy.
- May befriending Professor Oak's Bulbasaur and Squirtle appears to foreshadow the capture of her own members of both species later on in the series (one of which would actually be intended to be a starter).
- When Team Rocket is seen blasting off, Jessie, James, and Meowth form the letter "R".

The bridge on Highway 71 over the Holbrook and Fort Lyon canals is being replaced by the Colorado Department of Transportation. In order to replace the bridge, a temporary rental bridge has been installed to serve the detour. Traffic is detoured over the temporary bridge structure while the main bridge is torn out and a new bridge constructed.
On State Highway 266 between Rocky Ford and State Highway 109 just south of Cheraw, two bridges will be constructed using a new technique of slide-in bridges. This is the first time the technique has been employed in Colorado. County Engineer Brent White forwarded the following press release regarding these structures.
"Accelerated bridge construction methods are being utilized for the SH 266 bridges. Both structures have been constructed adjacent to the existing bridges for use as part of the detour and, after the old bridges are demolished, the new structures will be rolled (Fort Lyon Canal) and slid (Holbrook Canal) into place. This operation is scheduled on Saturday, Jan. 26.
"The bridge moves will take place during a full closure of SH 266 lasting 2 ½ days. Traffic will be detoured around the site via County Roads 21 and 24.5.
"After the bridges are moved into place, traffic will be opened in the final configuration of one lane eastbound and one lane westbound. The westbound lane of Highway 266 will be closed from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. through 2/8/13 to facilitate the safe removal of the detour. While the lane is closed, flaggers will alternate northbound and southbound traffic. Travel delays up to 10 minutes are possible."

Rated 5 out of 5 by Cobaltchrysalis Colorful little elephants add flair and cheer These little elephants are wonderful. I have two of these and the two hangers are very different with the fabrics and details, but they go together very well and I am pleased that they are different and not the same. I have them hanging next to each other on ribbons with tassels. They add a beautiful bohemian mood to the room and are so cute. They have funny little faces and tassels on their ears. The fabrics are very pretty and some have gold ribbons wrapped around them. I am very happy with them and will probably buy more for myself and friends. April 10, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by the19thdoor Cute, intricately decorated I purchased this in store, and its beautiful. Has a little bell on the end. There are different styles in store. Worth the price. The website photos DO show two different designs, so expect some variation. November 11, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5 by AlanaMarie I love these I have these elephants all over my house, hanging on all my doors. They are beautiful and bright. My only complaint is they don't last forever. I'd say after about 2 years the string they are strung on weakens and fails and you close a door and end up with elephants and little broken glass beads all over your floor. I think considering the price of this item that is more than long enough, and they can easily be re-strung if you desire. November 13, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Rupa Ver bad I bought 2 elephant hangers, while buying it was not mentioned in the site that they wont be alike. I just saw the image and ordered 2 of them thinking they would be same, but to my shock, they are totally different, . When i wrote mail , they said it is like that. Hence i dont want further arguments, i just left, But really spreading word on world market, as my first experience was a diaster. I don want to spend on shipping it back and reordering, Please make sure while you buy. October 16, 2013

text: History of Saint Marys Celebrating 100 years of learning Saint Mary's University of Minnesota has played a vital role in the arena of higher education since its founding in 1912. Beginning as a local college for young men, Saint Mary's has grown to a university offering education to men and women across the globe. The Founding Years Bishop Patrick R. Heffron, the second bishop of Winona, founded Saint Mary's as a college in 1912 to provide higher education for young men in southern Minnesota's Diocese of Winona and surrounding areas.+ More In its early years, the university operated as an academy and junior college. In 1925, it became a four-year liberal arts college. The descendants of 19th century settlers in Minnesota and Wisconsin thus received a classical education from a highly educated faculty composed primarily of diocesan clergy. The students of the early decades became religious, professional, and business leaders in their communities. The Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, an international Catholic teaching order founded in France in 1680 by Saint John Baptist de La Salle, purchased Saint Mary's College from the Diocese of Winona in 1933. Soon thereafter, the university obtained formal accreditation of its bachelor's degree programs by the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. Enrollment increased from 200 to 500 students over the next 15 years, aided by an influx of graduates from De La Salle Christian Brothers' high schools in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, Chicago, Kansas City, and St. Louis. The Saint Mary's College curriculum, combining the traditional liberal arts and sciences with career-related studies, served the interests of both students and faculty in pursuing an integrated liberal and career education. Major programs included accounting, business administration, preparation of secondary-school teachers, and strong pre-professional majors in natural and social sciences, mathematics, law, medicine, theology, philosophy, and the humanities. All students completed a general education in the liberal arts in addition to their chosen major. These historical components of Saint Mary's College exist in today's curriculum, alongside the career-related applications that have evolved in recent years. At Mid-Century Many Saint Mary's graduates from the 1940s through the 1970s later earned advanced degrees in law, medicine, dentistry, ministry, science, and humanities.+ More In a national study conducted during the 1980s, Saint Mary's University achieved a ranking in the top 15% nationally in the proportion of its graduates who later went on to earn a doctoral degree. In the late 1950s and throughout the 1960s, when enrollment reached the 1,000 mark, the college expanded its physical facilities significantly, especially to accommodate housing needs for the high representation of students (85%) electing to live on campus. The Catholic religious developments embodied in Vatican Council II in the mid-1960s, as well as the social movements of that decade, transformed Saint Mary's College. Between 1968 and 1974, the college experienced one of the greatest periods of change in its history: establishment of an independent Board of Trustees, all but the president being from outside the university; clear separation of college administration from the district administration of the De La Salle Christian Brothers; revision of faculty and student body governance; a decision to become a coeducational institution in 1969, starting with a very small class of women; subsequently to the achievement of a complete balanced mix of genders within the student body; declining numbers of seminarians and Brothers in the student body; shift in perception from "student" to "young adult" status, and expansion of the curriculum. By 1980, enrollment had surpassed 1,200 undergraduates and 200 master degree students. Leading up to 2010 During the 1980s the campus underwent vigorous growth.+ More Constructed during this decade were the Ice Arena (1986), Performance Center, including Figliulo Recital Hall and Joseph Page Theatre (1987), Brother Charles Hall science addition (1987), Gilmore Creek Residence (1989), and Christian Brothers Residence (1989). Extensive renovation also took place. The Saint Thomas More Chapel, art and music facilities, and most classrooms and residence halls were remodeled. From the mid-1980s to the present time, simultaneous with the elimination of all deferred maintenance to the facilities, the addition of new facilities and the renovation of existing campus buildings, vigorous change and growth took place within the academic and in every other area of Saint Mary's. Major curricular changes occurring since the mid-1980s were the development of a completely new core curriculum, the introduction, and eventual expansion of the Lasallian Honors Program, the establishment of the De La Salle Language Institute and the introduction of the Path to Academic Success program. Foreign study centers were established, expanding international educational opportunities to greater numbers of the traditional undergraduate student body. The Hendrickson Institute for Ethical Leadership, along with new degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, were all additions during this time, bringing greater depth and outreach to the mission of Saint Mary's University. The academic administration of the College was divided into schools in order to more effectively concentrate on the wide range of offerings being made to an increasingly diverse student body. In addition to these many changes, a new campus was established in Nairobi, Kenya, offering a Bachelor's degree in education and a Master's degree in African Studies. In 1995, Saint Mary's College was renamed Saint Mary's University of Minnesota. During the 1990s, the Winona campus saw the construction of the Recreation and Athletic Center (1994) featuring the Gostomski Fieldhouse and Jul Gernes Pool, McEnery Center library addition (1994), Pines Hall Residence (1995), Hendrickson Center addition to Saint Mary's Hall (1996), The Heights academic building (1997), and Hillside Hall Residence (2001). In 2002, Saint Mary's purchased the campus of the former College of Saint Teresa in Winona. Several buildings were subsequently sold to Winona State University and Cotter High School. SMU retains ownership of the Chapel of Our Lady of the Angels, Alverna Center, the 360 Vila St. building, and Válencia Arts Center. The Regan Lobby of the ice arena was added in 2004, and in 2008, the Winona campus athletic fields were transformed by a new track and soccer complex. Graduate & Professional Education From 1950 to 1980, the graduate programs offered by Saint Mary's consisted primarily of summer institute offerings.+ More From the 1970s to mid-1980s, Saint Mary's offered graduate programs in Saint Paul with small groups of students at Cretin High School, then at Saint John's Hospital. In 1984, the university expanded its offerings to meet a more diverse population with new educational goals. Night and weekend classes were made available to accommodate the many students who also work full-time. Vigorous growth began with the decision to move core centers for graduate studies to a campus at 2500 Park Avenue in Minneapolis and a center in Rochester, Minn. Graduate programs were expanded on the Winona campus, and centers were established in Apple Valley, Minn. along with the Partners in Higher Education, and in Minnetonka and Oakdale, Minn. Courses are now delivered at more than 100 on- and off-campus locations in the metropolitan area, greater Minnesota and Wisconsin, Jamaica, and Nairobi, Kenya. Program levels include bachelor completion, certificate, specialist, master degree and doctoral. The SGPP serves more than 4,600 adult learners, making it one of the largest graduate schools in Minnesota. The reorganized Schools of Graduate and Professional Programs now is comprised of the Graduate School of Education, the Graduate School of Business and Technology and the Graduate School of Health and Human Services. The SGPP gains insight and expertise from a distinguished advisory Council of Regents. The New Millennium What was a local college providing education for young men in 1912 is today an international university serving women and men of every age, race and nationality.+ More The university is true to its Lasallian heritage in Saint John Baptist de La Salle's belief in meeting the needs of the people of the times. Saint Mary's continues to carry out this integral part of our mission. It strives at the same time to remain a university that is attentive to unique individuals with varying psychological, social, physical and spiritual needs. This has been a hallmark of this university's success and a critical dimension which seems most appropriate in these ever-changing, conflicted times. There are many positive opportunities on the horizon for the university. Saint Mary's University has received continued accreditation from the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools. The university continues to be increasingly attractive to our diverse audience of students. New and exciting possibilities await us on the horizon and we welcome them in our desire to continue to refine and increase the quality and degree of excellence our educational offerings can provide for every individual member of our academic community.

SIGNED this 20th day of August, 2012.
MARK COUCHMAN, ) Case No. 07-11101
) Chapter 12
Debtor. )
Section 1229 permits a debtor to modify a confirmed chapter 12 plan to, among other things,
reduce or extend the time for payments.1 This is done by filing a modified plan which, upon filing
and until disapproved after notice and a hearing, "becomes the plan."2 According to 11 U.S.C. §
1229(b)(2), the requirements of § 1222(a), describing what provisions a plan must contain, and §
1 11 U.S.C. § 1229(a)(2). Subsequent statutory references are to the Bankruptcy Code,
Title 11, U.S.C., unless otherwise indicated.
2 § 1229(b)(2).
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 1 of 9
1225(a), setting out the requirements for confirmation, apply to the confirmation of any modified
plan. In this case, the Bucklin National Bank argues that the drop dead provision in an agreed
conditional stay relief order cannot be thwarted by the debtor's proposed plan modification that
would, among other things, extend the debtor's time to make the Bank's payments. I concur that the
stay relief order containing the drop-dead provision is final and remains enforceable, but find that
it should not prevent the present version of the modified plan from being confirmed because the
modification was not directed at undoing a declared default under the stay relief order. Because the
modified plan meets the requirements of §§ 1222(a) and 1225(a), it must be confirmed.
The confirmation of a modified plan is a core proceeding over which this Court has subject
matter jurisdiction.3
Findings of Fact
The debtor and the Bank submitted stipulations and briefs.4 After reviewing them along with
the record in this case, the Court finds as follows. Mark Couchman filed this chapter 12 case in
2007. Not until December 2, 2008 was he able to confirm a chapter 12 plan. Under the order
confirming the plan, the Bank was allowed two claims, one secured by personal property and one
secured by real estate. The personal property claim was to be paid in annual payments due December
1, 2008 and each December 1st thereafter. The real estate claim was to be paid in annual payments
that were due August 1, 2008 and each August 1st thereafter.
3 28 U.S.C. §§ 157(b)(1), (b)(2)(L), and 1334(b).
4 See Stipulation, Dkt. 244, Bank's Memorandum, Dkt. 245, Debtor's Response, Dkt.
246, and Bank's Reply, Dkt. 248. The debtor Mark Couchman appears by his attorney Dan W.
Forker, Jr.. The Bucklin National Bank appears by its attorney Charles D. Lee.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 2 of 9
The Bank's frustration is easy to understand: Couchman has been in a state of default or cure
since 2008. His first personal property payment was not made until January 21, 2009, over 50 days
late. He did not pay the first real estate payment, due in August of 2008, until October 6, 2008. The
August 2009 real estate payment was made in September of 2009. And the August 2010 real estate
payment was paid in November of 2010. In short, the stipulations suggest that he has never made
a Bank payment on time.
The present controversy began when Couchman missed the December 1, 2009 personal
property payment. In late January of 2010, the Bank moved for stay relief, noticing its motion for
objections that were due on March 1, 2010. Couchman made the payment on the objection date.
Then, on March 10, 2010, the Bank's and Couchman's counsel appeared in court to announce that
the stay relief motion was "resolved pursuant to the terms of the agreed order to be submitted."5 At
that hearing, the trustee's counsel noted that funds had been received and both Couchman's and the
Bank's counsel agreed that an order providing for a "drop dead clause" in the event of future missed
payments would be entered. The agreed stay relief order entered on March 19, 2010 (the
"Conditional Order") provides that in the event of a future payment default, the stay would be lifted
30 days after the Bank gave the debtor a written default notice.6 The next payment due after entry
of the Conditional Order was the August 1, 2010 real estate payment. Even though the debtor paid
it in November of 2010 – 108 days late, the Bank did not declare a default or exercise its drop-dead
Couchman next missed the December 1, 2010 personal property payment. Again the Bank

6 Dkt. 182.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 3 of 9
did not issue a default notice. Instead, the trustee took the lead on March 9, 2011 by seeking an order
to show cause why the debtor's case should not be dismissed for payment and reporting defaults.7
Then, on May 2, Couchman filed a motion to modify his plan ("Motion to Modify") by proposing
to delay the August 1, 2011 real estate payment until December 1, 2011.8 On May 5, the Bank filed
its only notice of default, invoking the 30-day default clause in connection with the missed
December 2010 personal property payment.9 It also objected to the debtor's Motion to Modify,
arguing that the motion was an overt attempt to modify the Conditional Order.10 The Bank also noted
that the modification was not feasible and therefore could not be confirmed under § 1225(a)(6). On
May 11, 2011, the Court entered an agreed "temporary" order granting the trustee's motion to show
cause and directed that the debtor file a further modified plan to deal with the missing December
2010 payments by May 14.11 That order did not mention the Bank's default notice.
At a July 12, 2011 status conference on the May Motion to Modify, the Court established
a discovery schedule and directed that the debtor make his August 1, 2011 real estate payment not
7 Dkt. 203. The trustee stated that Couchman had made none of three December, 2010
plan payments (including the Bank's personal property payment) and had failed to file monthly
reports after March of 2010.
8 Dkt. 207. Note that this is not what the Stipulation says: it recites that the effect of the
Motion to Modify was to "effectively chang[e] the due date for the December 1, 2010 payment."
In fact, there is no mention in the Motion to Modify of the December 1 payment. Cf. Dkt. 244, ¶
3(f) [Stipulation] and Dkt. 207, ¶ 3 [Motion to Modify]. Stipulating that the modification said
something it did not say can't make it so.
9 Dkt. 211. Although the Bank's certificate of service of notice of plan default does not
expressly reference the December 2010 personal property payment, this was the only
outstanding payment owed to the Bank as of May 5, 2011. See Stipulations, Dkt. 244, ¶ 7.
10 Dkt. 210.
11 Dkt. 212.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 4 of 9
later than August 15, 2011.12 On August 8, 2011, the Court entered an agreed final order on the
trustee's show cause motion finding that the debtor had filed his reports and that he would be given
until August 1, 2011 to make the December 1, 2010 personal property payment, subject to a 15-day
grace period. If the payment wasn't made, the case would be dismissed, but the debtor could file a
further motion to extend the payments on or before August 1. Bank counsel, along with debtor's
counsel and the trustee, signed this agreed order.13 In the meantime, the debtor made the December
1, 2010 personal property payment on July 29, 2011, satisfying the August 1 deadline.14
On September 14, 2011, the debtor filed the amended motion to modify ("Amended
Motion") that is before the court today.15 That motion provides for the Bank's August 1, 2011 real
estate payment to be made not later than December 1, 2012.16 The Amended Motion also seeks
deferral of the personal property payment due December 1, 2011 to December 1, 2012. The Bank

2010 personal property payment, it took no further action to enforce its claim secured by
personal property.
15 Dkt. 223.
16 The original Motion to Modify sought an extension of the August 2011 real estate
payment to December 1, 2011.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 5 of 9
If the answer is yes, the modification should be granted.17 The Court must determine whether the
modified plan meets the plan contents and confirmation requirements of §§ 1222 and 1225. There
is no doubt that § 1229 allows the debtor to modify his plan post-confirmation to extend the time
in which payments may be made as Couchman seeks to do here. The Bank has withdrawn its
feasibility objection18 and argues that Couchman's modification cannot be permitted because doing
so would alter the Bank's rights under the Conditional Order.
The Bank is correct that some bankruptcy courts have prohibited post-confirmation
modifications that are aimed at changing agreed-upon negotiated terms as opposed to plan terms that
could be imposed by a court.19 Those courts require a showing of some post-confirmation change
in circumstance that could not have been contemplated by the parties when the terms were
negotiated. They reason that default clauses specifically anticipate and remedy possible defaults; the
mere fact that the debtor has failed to comply with the plan terms is not enough to demonstrate an
unanticipated change in circumstance.20 Other courts disagree, suggesting that the presence of a
drop-dead clause does not preclude modification; instead, the bankruptcy court should consider the
reasons behind the default, including changed circumstances, in determining whether the
17 In re Gallagher, 332 B.R. 277, 281 (Bankr. E.D. Pa. 2005)(Seventh amended chapter
13 plan was not feasible; confirmation denied).
18 Dkt. 240.
19 See In re Grogg Farms, Inc., 91 B.R. 482, 485 (Bankr. N.D. Ind. 1988) (disallowing
debtor's modification of chapter 12 plan in order to cure material plan default, where negotiated
plan term provided that debtor's continuing default would entitle creditor to relief from stay).
20 Id. (debtor's plan default was not an unforseen circumstance).
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 6 of 9
modification should be approved.21 They decline to impose absolute restrictions or conditions on the
statutory right to modify and they do not require that the debtor demonstrate changed circumstances
in seeking to modify a confirmed plan that contains a drop-dead clause.22 All of those cases deal with
modifying a drop-dead provision contained in a plan.
Here, there is no drop-dead provision in the originally-confirmed plan. That provision
appears instead in the stay relief Conditional Order, a separate and final order that could not, in any
case, be "modified" under § 1229 because it is not a "plan." And, as the sequence of events suggests,
the modification proposed by the debtor did not seek to undo any currently-pending exercise of the
drop-dead provision. Therefore, neither § 1227(a) nor § 1229 precludes the debtor from modifying
the plan as proposed.23
The Conditional Order did not "modify" the plan because it did not meet the procedural
requirements of a proper modification. It did not contain the date of any proposed modification, and
its terms weren't noticed to the other creditors as § 1229(b)(2) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 3015 require.
The Conditional Order is simply a bilateral agreement between the debtor and the Bank, blessed by
the Court, that conditions the continued effect of the stay on the debtor curing a declared default
within 30 days of receiving written notice.
The Bank issued a delayed default notice on May 5, 2011 that concerned the December 1,
21 In re Mader, 108 B.R. 643, 647-48 (D. N.D. Ill. 1989) (Mere inclusion of default
provision in confirmed chapter 12 plan does not necessarily preclude modification).
22 In re Larson, 122 B.R. 417, 420 (Bankr. D. Idaho 1991).
23 Section 1227(a) declares the binding effect of a confirmed plan, regardless of whether
the plan was objected to, accepted or rejected.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 7 of 9
2010 personal property payment.24 It took no further action. Couchman made that payment on July
29, 2011, before the current Amended Motion to modify was filed. The Amended Motion deals with
the 2011 personal property and real estate payments. No other default notices have been issued.
The terms of the conditional order anticipate the possibility that Couchman might amend his
plan. It provides in pertinent part:"[I]n the event Debtor should fail to make a payment as provided
for in the current plan, and any amendments thereto, within thirty (30) days of written notice of his
default and the Debtor's failure to cure said default, the [Bank] shall be entitled to relief from stay
. . . ."25 The Bank gave notice of the December 1, 2010 personal property payment default on May
5, 2011, but the Motion to Modify only addressed the upcoming August, 2011 real estate payment.
The Amended Motion before the Court today further extended the date for the August 2011 real
estate payment from December 2011 to December 2012 and added the December 2011 personal
property payment extending its due date to December 2012. Neither modification dealt with the
December 2010 personal property payment. Accordingly, the modification cannot be read as
somehow "undoing" the Conditional Order or the declared December 1, 2010 default.
Had there been an outstanding default notice at the time the Amended Motion was proposed,
I might have concluded that the debtor was attempting to "frustrate the parties legitimate
expectations" by changing the underlying agreement between the debtor and the Bank in a way that
is similar to modifying one's confirmed plan around the old plan's default provisions.26 That might
also have implicated the requirement that the debtor propose the modification in good faith as §
24 As noted previously, the December 2010 payment was the only payment default as of
May, 2011. See note 9, supra.
25 Dkt. 182, emphasis added.
26 In re Grogg Farms, Inc., supra, at 485.
Case 07-11101 Doc# 257 Filed 08/20/12 Page 8 of 9
1225(a)(3) requires. That did not happen here.
The Bank has abandoned its feasibility argument.27 Having concluded that the Conditional
Order remains in effect and is not a basis for denying approval of the Amended Motion, the debtor's
Amended Motion should be granted. Nothing prevents the Bank from invoking the Conditional
Order if the debtor fails to make a payment that is provided for under the modified plan.
Conclusion and Order
The Bank's objection to the Amended Motion to modify is OVERRULED; the debtor's
Amended Motion is granted and the modification is CONFIRMED with respect to the Bank's claim.

ZF-7677: Zend_Validate_Date can not validate class (Zend_Date) instance
I dont understand why isValid method should only accept primitive types (string, float, integer), therefore refuses to validate class instances, even if the class has __toString() method implemented. For example I want validate Zend_Date instance and have to pass $date->__toString() instead.
The only type which should not be accepted is array, but IMHO this type of parameter checking is useless and only confusing.

In November 2012, Washington and Colorado became the first states—and the first jurisdictions in the world—to legalize the possession, use, and regulated distribution of marijuana.
Jeremy Hammond has been imprisoned for over a year already, held without bail and with no access to family members.
The National Lawyers Guild is hosting a press conference before a federal court hearing in which the chief judge of the U.S. District Court in Manhattan will decide on a motion calling for her recusal from the case of Jeremy Hammond.
Heidi Boghosian — Executive Director, National Lawyers Guild
Next Monday, January 21, over 3,000 law enforcement officers and some 13,000 military troops will descend on the Washington Mall. The occasion is not a coup but the presidential inauguration, which will prompt the kind of militarized police mobilization that is a hallmark of National Special Security Events (NSSEs).
Guild lawyer hails historic decision
In a potentially precedent-setting decision, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Monday that a Guild lawyer's challenge to military spying on peace activists can proceed. The ruling marks the first time a court has affirmed people's ability to sue the military for violating their First and Fourth Amendment rights.
The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) calls for the State of Florida to halt the scheduled execution of John Errol Ferguson and commute his death sentences to life in prison. Ferguson is a severely mentally ill African American man who has spent the last 34 years on death row and whose execution is set for Thursday, October 18, unless the courts intervene.
Hundreds of National Lawyers Guild members and allies will gather this week to celebrate the organization's 75th anniversary at the Law for the People convention in Pasadena, California.
Scholar and activist Angela Davis will deliver the keynote address and among the convention honorees will be Margaret Burnham, a professor of civil rights law who, as a young lawyer, helped secure Davis's 1972 acquittal on high-profile charges.
The National Lawyers Guild (NLG) expresses its grave concern over the recent intimidation of Haitian attorneys who represent government critics, which has included death threats, judicial harassment, and a report that Haiti's top justice official ordered the arrest of three.
The National Lawyers Guild is preparing to mount a massive legal support effort for protesters at the Republican and Democratic national conventions. "The host cities of Tampa and Charlotte are greeting party politicians and their corporate backers with open arms," said NLG Executive Director Heidi Boghosian.

And food, of course. Like all holidays, this one revolves around food: Peeps, of course, and all kinds of weird sugariness. At home, it's ham-or-lamb. But for many, it's brunch. A big, full-on, Easter-dress lunch. Here's where to get yours in SLC:
The Blue Boar, one of the prettiest area places to brunch, offers rack of lamb, lobster eggs benefit and prime rib, along with lots of other goodies, on Easter Sunday from 11 am to 4 pm. Cost is $75 per person for a five-course meal. Call 888-650-1400 for reservations.
Bambara's Easter brunch buffet is famously popular; make reservations asap by calling 801-363-5454. Easter Sunday, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., for $36 per person ($16 for kids and $26 for seniors.) The menu includes spring specialties like roast asparagus, the usual big beef, enticing-sounding creations like lamb hash and truffled mac and cheese, and - new this year - a Belgian waffle station. Yum.
Tuscany's prix-fixe brunch also runs from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. on Easter Sunday - feast on prime rib and honey glazed ham, made-to-order omelets, eggs Benedict two ways, waffle station, chilled seafood, house-made pastas and pastry. Brunch cost is $45 per person for adults, $23.00 for children age 12 and under. But Tuscany also serves Easter dinner from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m., chef's specials as well as the regular menu. So you can spend the day outside, if it's pretty, and settle in for the big meal in the evening. Call 801-277-9919.
Oasis Cafe serves a lower-key brunch than the big guns, with the menu's emphasis on organic vegetables and sustainably raised meats. Yes, there will be prime rib. And a chocolate fountain for dessert. Served from 9 am to 3 pm, the cost is $32 for adults and $18 for kids. Call 801-322-0404.
Chef Franck Peissel keeps it on the plate for Easter brunch. The five-course menu is French at heart, but with modern American culinary trends and fresh local ingredients. Expect the unusual - like wagyu short ribs braised with compressed watermelon with caramelized watermelon and watermelon caraway sauce. Yes. That is what I said. Franck's brunch will be served from 10 am. to 3 pm and costs $50. Call 801-274-6264.
In a totally refreshing change-up, Faustina celebrates Easter in the evening, with Chef Billy Sotelo featuring specials in addition to his regular menu. Here's hoping it will be patio weather. Call 801-746-4441,
Kimi's Mountainside Bistro serves brunch from 11 am to 3 pm, at the base of a mountain that could conceivably still be snowy. Flaunting Scandinavian flavors - gravad lax, Swedish caviar-stuffed eggs, and lingonberries at the waffle station - the brunch cost is $28 for adults, $13 for kids (free if they're under 3.) Call 801-330-6574.

|Men's tennis garners honors
Five University of Idaho men's tennis players were honored for their academics by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association.
Taylor Bieberle, Filip Fichtel, Jake Knox, Cesar Torres and Abid Akbar earned ITA scholar-athlete recognition by posting a 3.50 or higher grade point average (on a 4.00 scale) during the 2011-12 academic year.
In addition to the ITA honor, those same five players, along with Cristobal Ramos Salazar, earned academic all-WAC status for the 2011-12 year as well.
"It is great to see the guys recognized for their academic success," Idaho coach Jeff Beaman said. "To combine the success they have had on the court with a great academic record shows the effort they put into being a student athlete."

ZF-10285: Some Zend_Validate_EmailAddress error messages are grammatically incorrect
INVALID_FORMAT '%value%' is no valid email address in the basic format local-part@hostname
INVALID_HOSTNAME '%hostname%' is no valid hostname for email address '%value%'
INVALID_LOCAL_PART '%localPart%' is no valid local part for email address '%value%'
These should all be changed from "is no valid..." to "is not a valid...".
Patch attached.
Patch attached that corrects these errors and updates translation keys to match.
This patch affects also the translation resources, and should be reviewed by translators before being applied to the release branch. (I'll apply it to trunk regardless, however.)
Patch applied to trunk.
Note that the change with the translated resource files breaks the translation of all languages. Changing the key without the translation makes it impossible for the translation team to recognise that there was a change which has to be translated.
Hi Thomas. It is a pretty small change to the wording to make it read correctly. My assumption was that the translations would have been done with correct wording in the other languages already, despite the English key being grammatically incorrect. Is that an invalid assumption? If the translations are being done by native speakers of those languages, I can't see why they would have translated word-for-word to another grammatically incorrect translation but rather would have written the error message correctly in their languages. The meaning of the message wasn't changed so do you really see a need for this to be re-translated?
If I'm assuming too much here, please let me know and I will attach a revised patch to roll back the keys so the translation team will see the change.
False assumtion
A translation is always based on a foreign language. This means different gramatics, different syntax and different meanings on different words. Changing one word can lead to a different meaning in a non-english language.
Example: "No valid key found" = "Es wurde kein gültiger Schlüssel gefunden" "Not a valid key found" = "Nicht ein einziger gültiger Schlüssel wurde gefunden"
The thing is that when you change the key within the translation itself, no one from the translation team can verify/check if there is a change necessary or not because the testbed does not show that there was a change which has to be reviewed.
When you change the english resource file, but not the translation files the translation team will see the change/work automatically and check for details.

By Michael McGough, PE
In June, the International Bridge Conference keynote speaker, Peter Taylor, PhD, P.Eng., PE, principal at Buckland & Taylor Ltd., told attendees it was time for the bridge industry to "create tables of standard beams, having minimum weights, for American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials' bridge loads."
This was a timely message for the Short Span Steel Bridge Alliance (SSSBA), which was launching a new Web-based design tool, eSPAN140, at the event. This summer, more than 1,000 bridge engineers have already signed up to use it.
The tool was developed by experts from SSSBA and the steel industry to save engineers significant time and money designing short-span steel bridges and culverts, specifically for crossings less than 140 feet long. eSPAN140 works by sorting through users' specific project details and recommending the most economical options for steel construction. It is the first completely Web-based tool to provide standards for the most common design types — plate, rolled beam, structural plate, and corrugated steel pipe — in one location. The alliance plans to include more variations to future releases of the tool.
Project stakeholders spent three years reviewing more than 3,000 potential designs for inclusion in the new tool. Stakeholders included steel manufacturers, fabricators, service centers, coaters, researchers, and representatives of related associations and government organizations such as the National Association of County Engineers , Steel Market Development Institute , National Steel Bridge Alliance, and American Galvanizers Association.
STEP 1 — Go to www.espan140.com
STEP 2 — Create a free user's account
STEP 3 — Input your specific project details (including span length, roadway length, height of cover, number of striped traffic lanes, and pedestrian access)
STEP 4 — View your customized "Solutions Book."
Bridge owners and designers simply key in the design parameters for their projects (i.e., span length, roadway width, skew angle, average daily traffic, waterway area, and height-of-fill details), and the tool quickly delivers customized designs. These solutions contain fabrication and loading details for all available corrugated steel pipe and structural plate shapes, profiles, and gages — as well as standard designs, details, and prefabricated options for rolled beam and plate girders.
The eSPAN140 system saves individual project details so they can be easily duplicated for quick adjustments if project parameters change. The application generates a custom Steel Bridge Solutions PDF with standard designs, shape sizes, profiles, and gages to consider for each project. The book also includes optimized steel-girder prefabricated options, coating recommendations, and a list of key industry contacts who can advise on specific projects.
Behind its new interface, eSPAN140 operates with technical data provided by SSSBA's research and development partners at West Virginia University and the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association.
Rolled beam and plate girder standards were developed by West Virginia University researchers who studied existing state standards to assess the feasibility and cost benefits of compiling standardized plans into a comprehensive short-span package. Then they assessed economic detailing, fabrication practices, superstructure design characteristics and design economy, and construction practices. With this data, and extensive analysis and testing, the team developed optimum national designs and details for spans from 40 to 120 feet.
The eSPAN140 design tool also provides guidance for building durable culverts that minimize disturbance to streams and rivers. It includes standards provided by the National Corrugated Steel Pipe Association for corrugated steel pipe and structural plate (CSP) culverts, based on its Corrugated Steel Pipe Design Manual. The manual focuses on special design considerations, rehabilitation, and maintenance of corrugated steel pipe.
"I have confidence in these bridge designs and details, as they were developed by university researchers who are national experts," says Brian P. Keierleber, PE, county engineer for Buchanan County, Iowa. "eSPAN140 gives me a design I can take to a fabricator, which saves time for me and precious funds for our county."
SSSBA's Bridge Technology Center offers training on the use of its short-span steel bridge resources. Half-day workshops and webinars are available for engineers, county and state engineer associations, and other groups interested in short-span steel bridge solutions.

Melo doing a Lebron and running length of court before the rebound is secured!
Take a good look at the new play by the Knicks, the "double up screen" for the PG, Lin lost it now, but its a killer play, if Melo will be the distrobuter he will get easy buckets
If Melo is selfish then what must he be like when he isnt?! another top assist!
*Sniff* ...I smell a massacre
Oh yea Jill Martin lookin good as always
