Highway Engineers specialise in the design and construction of our roads and streets, but how do they decide which is the most appropriate solution?
This resource provides an introduction to the various road and street types, the balance of place and movement, the primary function and purpose of each, giving links to design standards guidance and further information.
The Department for Transport (DfT) in Manual for Streets (2007) gives a clear definition of streets and roads:
'Place' and 'Movement' are the two fundamental components of street design, with place being given priority above movement. The SCOTS National Roads Development Guide (NRDG) define this relationship between 'Place' and 'Movement' as:
All roads and streets should be planned and designed from this perspective. For example, Designing Streets (2010) explain that defining the relative importance of particular streets/roads in terms of place and movement functions should inform subsequent design choices. For example:
When engineers design streets, there are a range of minimum standards required to guide the safe and efficient passage for various types of street users.
Manual for Streets (2007) explains that street character types in new residential developments should be determined by the relative importance of both their place and movement functions. The NRDG also states that a street layout which fails to recognise the street character types and frequency of its users is also likely to fail with regard to the wider structure of the street network.
Any street whilst considering place before movement must balance all associated functions and considerations to deliver a sustainable and adaptable outcome.
There are several types of road, which have their individual and specific functions. Designing Streets (2010) provides a summary of the individual road types:
Other routes, not for motor vehicles:
A Motorway is a strategic road for major traffic movement between centres of population and are classified in England as Special Roads – roads where certain types of traffic are prohibited.
The PRN, in England, designates roads between places of traffic importance across the UK, with the aim of providing easily identifiable routes to access the whole of the country (DfT, 2012). The PRN is constructed from a series of locations (primary destinations) selected by the Department for Transport, which are then linked by roads (primary routes) selected by the local highway authority.
The PRN is a devolved matter. Several primary routes run between England and Scotland or England and Wales, meaning cooperation between highways bodies across borders is required. The criteria for defining a primary destination are purposefully flexible, in order to allow the PRN to serve the whole of the country.
All Primary routes consist of an A road or sequence of A roads, forming a continuous route between two primary destinations. All UK roads (excluding motorways) fall into the following four categories:
Highways England produces standards and documentation relating to the design, construction and maintenance of highways. Documents are available free online, including:
Further information related to standards for highways is also available on the Standards for Highways online resource webpage.
ICE Training provides a range of courses to help you improve your understanding and knowledge of highways engineering. Courses include:

General Motors of Canada Ltd. will pump $2.535-billion into a trust fund that will finance health-care costs for its retirees, eliminating a key legacy cost that the auto maker said hobbled it in the fiercely competitive North American auto market.
GM Canada has reached an agreement with representatives of its unionized retirees to finance the fund with an initial cash payment of $1-billion, plus another $1.535-billion in contributions between 2014 and 2018.
The creation of the trust fund to pay for dental care, glasses and other health benefits was a condition of the $10.8-billion contribution the federal and Ontario governments made to the bailout of GM Canada's parent company, General Motors Co.
The agreement with the retirees is subject to approval by courts in Quebec and Ontario, but it is opposed by a group of retirees from the company's massive operations in Oshawa, Ont.
The fund is expected to save GM Canada billions of dollars because retiree health-care costs will be taken off its books, but it means reduced benefits for about 30,000 retirees and surviving spouses of GM workers.
"The contributions by GM Canada to the Auto Sector Retiree Health Care Trust will not be sufficient to maintain the retiree health care benefits at their current levels," says an information package prepared for retirees.
"Consequently, it is expected that benefits will have to be reduced or otherwise modified to ensure that the available funds will be sufficient to look after the needs of current and future retirees for their lifetimes."
Estimates done by actuaries for the retirees show the value of the plan represents between 77 per cent and 84 per cent of the value of the existing coverage, which was financed by GM Canada and adjusted according to contracts negotiated with the Canadian Auto Workers union.
The issue of the health-care trust erupted in May, when GM announced that a plant in Michigan would produce the next version of the Chevrolet Impala sedan, now made solely at the Oshawa plant. When the company made that announcement, GM Canada issued a memo saying that no agreement on the health-care trust had been reached so "we are not making any announcements regarding our Canadian operations today.".
That led the CAW to accuse the auto maker of threatening to pull the Impala out of Oshawa unless the union persuaded the retirees to agree to the company's version of the health-care trust.
There were more negotiations between GM Canada and the retirees after the May announcement. The retirees negotiated additional contributions from the auto maker worth about $240-million, the presentation on the deal says.
"[Negotiators] feel this is a significant improvement over the original offer made by GM Canada and do not believe they could have obtained more," the document says. Financing health care through a trust means the funds are protected from any potential future insolvency of GM Canada, it added.
The group of Oshawa retirees opposes the deal in part because they are not allowed to vote on it.
"If you're going to start taking away our benefits and negotiating downward it would be nice if we could protect ourselves with a vote," said Gord Vickers, who sat on the retirees' negotiating committee, but is now part of the group that has hired a lawyer to argue against the deal in court.
"We have a collective agreement and we expect them to honour it," he said. "That's all we want. We want the commitment that people retired with."
GM Canada spokesman Jason Easton said the company will not comment on specific aspects of the agreement, but noted that "as an important element of our restructuring, the health-care trust is critical to improving our competitive position in Canada."Report Typo/Error

hang up, now he comes crawling back. you should make him beg first
I press the hang up button, then place my phone on my desk. "Ha," I shout to the empty room. 3Now, he wants me. After all that he wants me back. HA! Well, we'll see about that. Screeew you world, he needs ME!" Shut up, I think to myself, he only wants you because he just got dumped. Thats worse than him not wanting you at all. And I know I am right.
I pick up the phone, ready to call him, or not, just decide, whan I notice something. The screen is not my background. I am still on the phone, with HIM! Why is my life so bad? Why do you make my life hell, I ask the phone in a moment of insanity.
I lift it slowly to my ear. "Hello?" I whisper. All I can hear is the sound of very faint, very real laughter. Great.

Modeling Chocolate
Decorating By mysweetconfetions Updated 3 Mar 2010 , 2:49pm by mysweetconfetions
I was wondering if you can cover a cake with modeling chocolate like you do with fondant. If so how much does it take to cover a 9" cake? How much chocolate and syrup does it take to make that much? Thanks
I KNOW I saw a thread on here the other day where a CC'r mentioned that she covered most of her cakes in modeling chocolate. Of course I can't remember for the life of me where I saw it....I looked at her pics too and they looked great. I am not sure how much you would need to cover a 9" cake but I the last time I used it I had to roll it out and it was really easy to work with. I am actually going to try it the next time I make a cake. I will try and find that thread, but I really can't remember where I saw it.. Hope that helps a little bit! Here is a link for the recipes I use if you need them...
Thanks chelseak! I'm off to try it...wish me luck...

Electric car advocacy with Nissan LEAF's dressed in bunny ears, in an Easter parade
It's Easter time which means communities around the country gather for parades featuring bunny rabbits, candy, and group after group of people showing community pride in one thing or another. This weekend in Campbell CA, one of these groups were members of the San Francisco BayLEAF's group driving a contingent of 12 Nissan LEAF's dressed up in bunny ears and whiskers. The BayLEAF's is a Nissan Leaf owners group based in the SF Bay Area.
The event was the annual Bunnies and Bonnets parade held in downtown Campbell. Campbell is situated in a corner of Silicon Valley, next door to Los Gatos. Campbell itself is a small town, that borders on San Jose, and is a key node in the fabric of cities that comprise Silicon Valley. Coincidentally Campbell happens to host the world headquarters of Coulomb Technologies, operator of the ChargePoint network of electric car charging stations.
Campbell recently installed several electric car charging stations, all part of the ChargePoint network. The stations are scattered around parking lots and parking garages in the Downtown Campbell area. These stations of course saw an uptick of usage yesterday with the BayLEAF's coming to town.
One of the BayLEAF members had for years organized the Porsche club appearance in this same parade. This year, as a new LEAF owner, he decided to organize the BayLEAF's group to appear. Organization was done through the BayLEAF group on Facebook, and the goal was to have anywhere between 5 and 1000 Nissan Leaf's participate in the parade. The 12 Leaf's in the parade was well within the target range, and all had a good time.
The LEAF owners covered a broad spectrum of humanity, equally men and women, young and old, united in a common dream of showing off their electric cars. One young man had tricked out his Leaf with extra lights and other doodads. A retiree coming all the way from Alameda with his LEAF had also built several electric car conversions over the years. He was using the CarSounds app for his iPhone, connected via Bluetooth to the car sound system, to make his LEAF make vrooming noises. Another not only owns a Leaf, but is one of the Electronauts in the BMW ActiveE program.

This unique book works as a complete course in acrylic painting, built up from key techniques. As the reader progresses through the sections of the book, the author demonstrates each technique with the creation of a mini painting, measuring 5-inch square. So by the time the reader has worked right through to the end, they will have an amazing collection of 50 mini paintings, on board, or paper, or canvas, that will be a testament to their skill and creativity. The subject matter for the squares varies from abstracts and simple colour mixing exercises, through to figurative subjects: a flower, a sunset, a busy street scene - and many more. These can be mounted, exhibited, or simply collected in a portfolio, or given away as gifts for friends to cherish. The book is ideal for anyone coming to acrylics for the first time, or keen to improve their skills, and who is sometimes daunted by the thought of filling a large empty canvas or blank piece of board. Instead, it will free painters from creative hang-ups, and replace them with an addictive desire to create that next 5-inch square!

Picked my car up yesterday after having this fitted. Sounds really nice, slightly deeper tone at idle and fairly reserved before 4k RPM, after this the tone gets rather sexy and stays like that all the way to the red line.
The flap and actuator in the rear box is not there any more so that annoying "Clunk" has gone and you dont get the tone change when it opens under light acceleration. All in all I am really please, it is not a neighbour waker around town and back streets, it just rumbles away just nicely with a sporty rasp that is pleasant and not offensive, but get it on the slip road and floor it and you think a Ferrari has just pulled up the slip road along side you. Hit a few tunnels and WOW, what a nice sound.
I dropped my ITG air filter back in when I got home last night, but haven't really had the chance to rag it properly yet round the usual roads I "play" on. I would say it seems to pull slightly better lower down and what little lag there was seems reduced still further.
So I am very pleased with it, the sound is "Quality" and not over the top, in your face "Boy Racer" but it is noticeable louder and when you want to hear as well as feel the power.

RED cards for high kicking used to come — and possibly still do — from aroused
gentlemen who wished to meet Can-Can dancers after the show.
Carlton Cole's dismissal against Everton was for something much more innocent
— a kick aimed at the ball.
No one I speak to or hear disagrees with this verdict, but referee Anthony
Taylor decides to send the player on the lonely walk, anyway.
His decision possibly costs us a point as Everton go on to scramble a winner
through Steven Pienaar. Then, as if to try to prove his impartiality, the
ref sends off Darron Gibson for a similar offence.
Justice done? Injustice repeated, most say.
With the transfer window approaching and the squad having suffered so many
injuries, we on the West Ham board have some major decisions to make.
RAY WILKINS wonders why Chelsea seem intent on off-loading Frank Lampard.
If he doesn't know, then who on earth does?
Lampard has just scored with a magnificent half-volley in the eight-goal
annihilation of Aston Villa.
At 34, the prolific midfielder still looks every inch a Premier League player.
But I don't believe that this, or the fact that the Chelsea fans love the
record goalscorer they bought from West Ham nearly 12 years ago, will make
an iota of difference to his footballing future.
You don't need me, Wilkins or a succession of managers to tell you that when
the bell tolls, the time is nigh.
It is a cruel contrast that this is also the day on which Liverpool let it be
known that Steven Gerrard — Lampard's long-time England midfield partner —
is being offered a new contract at Anfield.
BEING Aston Villa is a terrible thing today. How do you face the smugness of
the rest of the football world?
Nobody else lost 8-0 yesterday. Very few have ever done so. Well, I've pretty
much been there — it was actually 7-0 to Liverpool in an FA Cup tie at St
Andrew's in March 2006 — and the after-shocks of a season that had gone bad
by Christmas sent us purling into the Championship.
Paul Lambert at Villa has much longer to manage a recovery but his job has
been made twice as hard.
There are worse things than a heavy defeat, though, I can tell him. A few days
after the Liverpool shellacking, I was fighting for my life after a brain
I HOPE that all those children whose puppies, fed with a Christmas dinner of
West Ham dog biscuits, remember that your club is not just for Christmas, it
is forever.
Our dog loves 'em and as he dined out in style today, we intoned "one for
Kevin Nolan, one for Mark Noble… half for Andy Carroll and an extra big
one for Sam Allardyce".
Later I saw a real footballing hero — French legend and World Cup-winning
midfielder Zinedine Zidane.
Unfortunately I think he saw more of me than we both intended!
I would explain but, trust me, it's a rather long story!
LITTLE to report today, except that I saw former Chelsea striker Nicolas
I'm pleased to report that he is fit and well and relaxed in Dubai.
Sam Allardyce would like to bring him back to the UK, so let's see what
IT seems a manager is not only not for life, but not even for Christmas as
Blackburn sack Henning Berg after just 10 matches in the job.
It merely emphasises the problems newly-relegated clubs tend to have in the
Bolton, Wolves and Blackburn all sit dangerously close to the drop zone.
It just goes to show what an exceptional job Sam did for West Ham last season,
backed by two fantastic chairmen.
We appointed him because we knew he had the belly for a grinding battle — no
future in appointing apprentices.
At least we have some good news — Carlton Cole wins his appeal against his red
card in the Everton match.
IN my football life — which is approaching 20 years — everything has changed
except Alex Ferguson. You leave as little as possible to chance in the
chanciest game of all.
Reading prepared one way for the top flight, West Ham did it another. We have
23 points at halfway, they have 10. And I'm not gloating. Do that and you're
I know our game at Reading is as important to Brian McDermott's team as any
this season — and it is hardly less so for us. We've seen how quickly
Sunderland have clambered from immediate trouble and the slide down can be
just as unpredictable.
I'm looking over my shoulder and crossing my fingers. Reading have a big
revival in them and we must try to delay it.

PURPOSE: Following curative surgery for non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC), patients remain at risk for recurrence of lung cancer or for development of second primary lung cancer (SPLC). While periodic surveillance may detect early stage recurrence or SPLC, the effectiveness of surveillance has not been established. Additionally, current practice guidelines conflict in terms of the optimal frequency of surveillance and modalities to employ. The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the use of surveillance following curative surgery for NSCLC is effective in diagnosing recurrence or SPLC in asymptomatic patients, in comparison to usual care.
METHODS: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library) were searched for pertinent studies published between 1990 and 2010. Major search concepts included non-small cell lung carcinoma, surveillance, curative resection, recurrence, second primary lung cancer, computed tomography, and chest x-ray. Baseline data and results from individual studies were pooled. Odds ratios and confidence intervals were computed for each of the following endpoints: detection of recurrence by surveillance, asymptomatic presentation at recurrence, and site of recurrence.
RESULTS: Eighteen cohort and case-control studies were included in this analysis. No randomized controlled trials were identified. A total of 1019 recurrences and second primary lung cancers were detected among 2716 patients. 53.1% of cases were detected by surveillance protocol (OR 1.28, 95% CI 0.97-1.69). 34.9% of patients were asymptomatic at time of detection (OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.33-0.53). Distant recurrence occurred much more frequently than local recurrence (OR 2.69, 95% CI 2.17-3.35). Only 172 patients were offered a second curative-intent surgery (16.9%).
CONCLUSIONS: Surveillance protocols are no more effective than usual care in detecting recurrent NSCLC or SPLC. Patients are more likely to be symptomatic at time of detection of recurrence, and recurrent NSCLC is more likely to be distant disease.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Management of patients following curative-intent surgery for non-small cell lung carcinoma should focus on investigation of new symptoms rather than routine surveillance studies.

text: Fears voiced at Marcellus Shale hearing By Paul J. Nyden February 22, 2011 Story Share Lawrence Pierce Dennis Sparks, executive director of the West Virginia Council of Churches, speaks to state legislators during a public hearing Thursday on the state's regulation of Marcellus Shale drilling. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Joe Miller's family has owned a tree farm in Preston County for 150 years. But he's worried about what might happen to his business if drilling for natural gas in the state's Marcellus Shale formation isn't controlled."There is a total lack of regulation and oversight. I am afraid I will have no ability to control what happens on our land," Miller said during a Thursday public hearing in the House of Delegates chamber.But supporters of drilling encouraged lawmakers not to restrict companies too much when it comes to tapping into the vast natural gas reserves, which lie under much of the state."Last year, our industry paid $200 million in state taxes and created 35,000 high-paying jobs. Marcellus Shale drilling will create 7,000 new jobs and provide $300 million in salaries," said Mike McCown, president of the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia.But questions remain about how much of that money would reach the people in the communities affected by drilling, one speaker said."Today, 10 counties in the state generate 62 percent of the gas we produce. They have a higher rate of poverty than the other [45] counties," said Sean O'Leary, from the West Virginia Center on Budget and Policy.Each person was allowed to speak for two minutes at Thursday's hearing. Most of the speakers urged legislators to put some restrictions on developers. John Smisson, an outdoorsman and Sierra Club member, said, "I am concerned about the amount of water used in the process, and the way it is recovered. It is necessary to treat water used in fracking."Fracking, or hydraulic fracturing of underground rocks, is a process used to release natural gas reserves. Many critics fear that the millions of gallons of chemically treated water needed to develop each well, typically between 5,000 and 9,000 feet below the surface, will pollute streams and groundwater.Gary Zuckett, executive director of the West Virginia Citizen Action Group, called Marcellus Shale drilling plans "another brewing disaster linked to our unending appetite for energy. "The [West Virginia] Department of Environmental Protection cannot effectively deal with it. They do not have enough inspectors or money. And they don't have enough regulations," Zuckett said.Marilyn McGeorge, from the League of Women Voters, said, "The League supports a strong regulatory plan. Today, there are only 17 field inspectors to cover new drilling sites, in addition to 157,000 sites already operating. And there will be six million gallons of water used in each well."Drilling supporters like Greg Kozera, an engineer who works for Superior Well Services based in Elkview, said, "We need to make a decision that doesn't restrict development. We need to develop gas reserves to free ourselves from foreign oil."Scott Rotruck, vice president of Chesapeake Energy, said drilling for Marcellus Shale reserves offers "a tremendous economic opportunity for the state. It will also help national security."Rotruck said a number of other useful gases and chemicals, including ethylene and polyethylene, can also be recovered from the natural gas. He and several other speakers also touched on the issue of pooling, which would allow gas-drilling companies the ability to extract gas under large areas of land, even without permission from every property owner."We need pooling. And everybody will get paid [for their reserves]," Rotruck said.But Bob Hart, from the National Association of Oil and Gas Royalty owners, said, "I am not against pooling. But I am against forced pooling.... We need more study to get this right."Still, the state's regulation of Marcellus Shale drillers -- or the lack of it -- dominated the discussion Thursday."The time has come," said Howard Swint, a commercial property broker in Charleston, "when we should no longer take industry's word about what they will do with our land and resources."Reach Paul J.

An articulated lorry overturned on the clockwise carriageway between the M3 junction and Chertsey. Seconds later a number of other vehicles crashed into each other as they attempted to avoid the wreckage. The lorry went out of control just after 5am and within minutes delays built up on the M25 in Surrey as rescue services fought to free the seriously injured occupant of one vehicle.
Police estimated it would take until at least midday to clear the wreckage and they were forced to close the clockwise carriageway of the motorway between Junctions 11 and 12.
Thousands of drivers were forced to find their way around the closure, bringing "total chaos" to a web of roads and outlying town centres, according to AA Roadwatch.
By 8.30am traffic was locked solid on the A320. Other roads affected by the crash included the M3, M4, A322 northbound and the A3.
By 9am the centres of Weybridge, Chobham, Woking and Chertsey had become heavily congested with extra traffic as drivers attempted to find an escape route and rejoin the M25 farther along.
AA Roadwatch motorcyclist Simon Leopold said: "There are no official diversions; people are just having to try to find their own way around the delays and get to work."
An AA spokesman added: "We are urging people to avoid the entire area if possible."Reuse content

3 years for Bachelors + 1 year CA program + 2 years work experience (mandatory in order to get your designation) = 6 years (usually 5 because CA students take night classes while working during their stage)
Then you factor in that:
- There is a Concordia final exam, and if you don't pass it, Concordia doesn't allow you to do the UFE (Uniform Final Exam), that's their way of keeping the pass rates incredibly high
- A lot of people fail the UFE
- In order to get a job with a CA firm, you need to network and sell yourself. It's really a cut throat industry, and you're in a service industry so you can't just be all about numbers, you need to be a good people's person.
Getting a CA is hard, I'm not even sure I'll make it. I'll let you know this September (I'll be doing recruitment, where we try to get an internship with a CA firm).
The way I see it for Engineering is you gotta take into account the harder cepep or prereqs too but i'll let it slide. What you'rre missing however is to be a true professional engineer you need 4(or 3, not sure) years of work experience after you graduate. So again, that 2 seems relatively light.
Either way, it's obvious a case can be made for both sides but I think I would find business easier.
Having done some business classes from JMSB, i'll say this much. I can read a business textbook in a day before exam and get B+, I actually did for Acco 220(it's basically financial and managerial put together and obviously the stuff of more detail is removed so in a way easier but more information) but it takes me a while to read a single chapter of an engineering book. So much ******** theory and crap, hate it.
Whatever, either way, my argument is not a shot at business students, I actually intend to do an MBA when I'm done engineering. At end of the day, either are a smart career choice and my degree is like business and engineering put together anyway. I like business and if you guys make more, well more power to you right?

2010 has been an incredible year for Adam Lambert and his fans. We have been able to enjoy his round-the-world Glam Nation performances, read all of his interviews and see more than we should of his off-stage minutes, thanks to the instantaneous beauty of the internet.
The year has ended in a surprise for me as well. I was doing some last-minute holiday shopping and was run over in the mall parking lot as I was making my way into the store. Thankfully, all I have is a broken foot, which has kept me from posting on this site. I am truly sorry for the silence and hope to be back full-time soon. In addition to the two Los Angeles concerts that I want to give Lila's and my impressions of, there have been so many little Adam tidbits that have flown by this site. I'll work on making this a New Year's present for all of you! 🙂
Meanwhile, I'm reprinting a story from my girlfriend Renee Snyder of the examiner.com that is a great wrap up of Adam's wonderful accomplishments for 2010. http://www.examiner.com/adam-lambert-in-national/adam-lambert-2010-a-year-review
Have a wonderful New Year's! Here's looking to a Glamorous 2011!!
Love ya!

Adam Lambert: 2010 year in review
By Renee Snyder
Adam Lambert can no longer be considered as just "American Idol runner up." Lambert has truly made a name for himself through hard work and his incredible vocal abilities. Let's take a look at what Adam has accomplished over the past year.
Adam's debut album, For Your Entertainment, has been certified around the world. The album has gone gold in the U.S. and Australia and went platinum in Canada and New Zealand. Adam also released an "Acoustic Live!" EP with acoustic versions of five songs off his album. The EP was an immediate success, debuting at #126 on the Billboard 200 chart. Physical copies of the EP sold out so fast, Sony had to run a second batch to keep up with the demand.
The singles off the album have also been huge hits around the world. "Whataya Want From Me" has already gone Platinum in the U.S., Australia and New Zealand, Double Platinum in Canada and Gold in Denmark and Germany. Whataya Want From Me also placed at #5 for most played song in Australia and won "Best international Single" at the German 2010 CMA – Wild and Young Awards."If I Had You" is double platinum in Australia and gold in New Zealand. In addition, Adam has released other singles throughout the world. His single "Sleepwalker" has been a huge hit in Canada and he released "Aftermath" and "Fever" in several international countries, both of which are charting high on various radio stations. And Adam's music has been recognized by the music industry, having ranked high on 10 of Billboard's "Best of 2010 Year-End" charts.
Not only has his music done well this year, but Adam's music videos have also caused a stir. His video for Whataya Want From Me won MuchMusic of Canada's "UR Faoritev International Video" award and was voted "Favorite Music Video" in "AfterElton.com 2010 Visibility Awards." In addition, the Whataya Want From Me video placed at #4 in VH1's "Top 40 Music Videos Countdown of 2010." Adam's "If I Had You" video placed at #33 on VH1's "Top 40 Music Videos Countdown of 2010" and #16 on Yahoo! Music's "Top 20 Music Videos of 2010."
Adam has supported charitable efforts, such as donorschoose.org, in which he asked his fans to donate to the charity rather than give him gifts. He sponsored a competition among his fans to raise money for donorschoose.org and then even visited one of the classes helped by the donations. In addition, Adam produced an "It Gets Better" video against bullying, and also showed support for FCKH8," a gay suicide prevention charity campaign.
He also had a successful world tour this year, including 113 shows. He performed his Glam Nation show to sold-out crowds throughout the U.S. and in 19 other countries. The Glam Nation tour was voted "Top Live Act of 2010" by All Headline News. The show also earned the #10 spot in the "Top 10 Shows of 2010" by DallasMorning Post -Year in Review: Music and ranked #1 for the "Top 10 Capital Region Concerts of 2010" by timesunion.com. Glam Nation has also been nominated for "Concert Tour of 2010" as part of Australian POPrepublic.tv's "IT LIST Awards 2010." (Winners will not be chosen for the IT LIST awards until January 31, 2011.)
Probably the icing on the cake for Adam this year has been his Grammy nomination for "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance." The Grammy nod proves that Adam is a serious recording artist that can hold his own in the music industry.
Adam summed up his year with a recent tweet to his almost 800,000 fans:
"Happy Holidays! Can't believe 2010 is coming to an end… Crazy year… !"
Having just come off American Idol a year and a half ago, Adam has had many accomplishments of which to be proud of this year. This rising star can expect more and more honors as his career continues to soar into the next decade.
What do you think of Adam's accomplishments in 2010?

"Yo Twizz, snag me one of those Sour Patch Kids bags." You might be called twizzler, but that's not out of disrespect. Your teammates know who to call when they need something sugary and scrumptious. Your bag is full with an array of candy bags and empty wrappers, and on the bus rides home you keep the team satisfied with a "healthy" post-game recovery snack. Oh, and make sure strangers don't mistake you with that "other guy" who thinks granola bars and bananas are a good snack. Yeah, see you there Granola.

In many ways, Akron is a victim of its own success.
There was hardly a more dominant team than the Zips last season, amassing a 22-1-2 record with a plus-48 goal differential on their way to Akron's first-ever national championship in any sport. Head coach Caleb Porter saw the possession-based, tactile brand of soccer take the overly-physical college ranks by storm.
"I've always thought we can operate like a pro team," Porter said. "We don't always sub because we can, and we let our players solve problems within the game and not with physical play. Most college teams focus on how to stop the opposing team and destroy the game rather than spending time on the ball. Our goal is to control the ball and dictate the game with rythm and tempo"
The success on the field combined with players tailor-made to jump directly into the professional ranks led to Akron's roster being gutted by Generation Adidas and graduations during the spring. Seven Akron players were drafted in the 2011 MLS Superdraft, including five of the top 10 picks, leaving Porter with 16 spots to fill in a little more than seven months.
"I've never gone through losing that many players," Porter said. "It's easy to chalk this up as a rebuilding year, but I'm not wired that way. I felt my staff and I did as good a job as we could looking through many different countries, because by that point all the top American prospects are gone."
As preseason kicks into high gear, Porter has seen some of the newcomers show leadership beyond their age or class rank. Freshman defender Bryan Gallego, who has experience as captain of the United States Under-18 team, could fill that role in central defense.
"Right when I started I felt comfortable," Gallego said. "I just want to help out the team and the upperclassman understand and are open to it."
Despite the strong incoming class, Akron will turn to some key returning veterans to fuel its quest for a second consecutive national championship. Goalkeeper David Meves, midfielder Scott Caldwell and striker Darren Mattocks are key returning starters from last season. None of the three are seniors and feel the pressure of continuing the kind of play Akron's fervent fan base, nicknamed the AK-ROWDIES, has come to expect.
"We want change a lot of the ideas people have about college soccer," said Caldwell, who is a co-captain this year and scored the game-winning goal in last year's title game against Louisville. "We want people to enjoy watching and let people know it's a fun game to watch. It's more fun to play our way than it is to play physically."
Even with Akron's talent, Porter is under no illusion that the Zips will begin the season with the type of dominance they had last season and realizes losing players to the pros is likely to continue.
"We know it's going to be a process," Porter admitted. "If we're going to run a top program we're going to lose players. We're not going to stifle our players from accomplishing their dreams. Akron soccer is all about a clear identity and it's hard when you have a bunch of starters that leave, but it's a lot easier when you have a structure in place. I'm loving the fact I have new pieces to plug in and teaching them the roles they are going to play in our system."
It's a season of more uncertainty than the fans of Akron are used to over the past few years, but if history has anything to say, it's not smart to bet against Akron.
Terps are gonna be pretty good (as usual) this year. Good mix of experience and youth…+ Sasho of course.
Chad Barson is also a returning starter for Akron (stared all 25 games at center defender last season).

Anyone ever scrutinize Arkon's recruiting? Seems quite odd a small university all of a sudden is pipelining in quality players from outside the country.
their players have typically been very good in the classroom- they had a ridiculous number of players on all-academic team last year especially for the number 1 team in the nation.
They have been bringing in foreign players for some time now. it is nothing new and happened regularly with Ken Lolla's Akron teams. The pipeline of nordic players of the late 90's early 00's just were not as talented.
Saw Caldwell play twice this summer – he will be better. And Zips fans will like transfer Luke Holmes.
Offer a foreign kid a chance at an American education and they will jump at the chance. Throw in the MLS visibility (let's be honest, if the kids were THAT good they'd be in an academy somewhere) and it's hard for a lot of people to turn down.
"because by that point all the top American prospects are gone."
Wait, why are these American prospects not choosing Akron in the first place? If they want to win in college and have professional MLS careers there is no better choice.
No mention of Wil Trapp?
Darren Mattocks is from Jamaica and one of their new recruits, who is really good, is also from Jamaica. Not hard to connect the dots. Strange thing is Ben Speas has left and gone to North Carolina. I really dont get that one since Speas made some key contributions last season.
He means after all the Gen Adidas contracts are signed and the MLS draft occurs its late January and all the good senior prospects for the following season have already committed to a program. However, I would have thought Akron would have at least some idea that they would loose quite a few players. I mean I knew that after all.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
enforce the judgment in Nevada, can they go after a bank account if I am the only listed owner on the account. My name is not listed anywhere in the judgment.
It appear you live in a community property states, most debts incurred by either spouse during the marriage are owed by the "community" (the couple), even if only one spouse signed the paperwork for a debt. You should see a local attorney to aid you, possible with a bankruptcy for your husband to protect your interest.Ask a similar question
Judgment creditors cannot typically attach assets that are in the name of a spouse that isn't named on the lawsuit without going jumping through a lot of additional hoops. I have never seen this scenario happen. Hope this perspective helps!Ask a similar question
Can the account be held to answer, or is it easy?
If it's your pay, that's community property, and it can be held to answer for either party's separate debt. If it's your money from before marriage, and the debt is from before marriage, they're both separate property/debt, and can't reach one another. And then there's all the variations in between, most of which create ore difficult asset.
Also, his bankruptcy would protect you; you are not required to file jointly (but there are issues here, particularly with two cars with equity--and nearly every out of state attorney will get Nevada law wrong on this, so be careful).
