L'Oréal Paris Sublime Glow Daily Body Moisturizer + Natural Skin Tone Enhancer Reviews
Fairly Nice!This is a fairly nice self tanner. Gives a nice soft color, not too dark. The color will tranfer onto clothing/sheets etc., so avoiding white clothing or sheets would be a good suggestion. The price is reasonable. It doesn't last as long as a few others I've tried so you will have to reapply after you shower. I did not notice any horrible streaking so that's a plus. There may have been a dark spot...read more or two around the top of the toes and the elbow area. Overall, it's a pretty decent product for a quick subtle color. — 4 years, 8 months agoEricaC123 | 458 reviews

Gets everywhereThis tanner smells like lemon iced tea and tends to get everywhere. It takes a while to dry and has a brown undertone. This might not be bad for someone with yellow undertones, but with my pink undertones it just looked odd. — 5 years, 10 months agoTheLacqueredLady | 751 reviews

Better than Jergens'sI have extremely pasty legs. A full-on tan would look unnatural, but I wanted a product that would take the glare off. I switched to this product from a very similar product from Jergens after Consumer Reports gave it a thumbs up. It does have that self-tanner smell, but it's ever-so-faint and mostly masked by a sweet smell that I like. It takes about three days to see results, but the subtle, nat...read moreural tan is worth the wait. In the meantime, this product distributes shimmer when you use it.

The Best Self-Tanner if Used CorrectlyI could not count the number of bottles of this I have gone through. It is bar far the best self-tanner I have used and trust me, I've used many. The smell is miles away from that terrible sweat and metal scent that seems to haunt the Self Tanning industry. It is a soft warm, smell that I've come to associate with being sun-kissed. This self-tanner needs to be layered for optimal results but I've ...read morefound that to be a good thing becuase you really can't go overboard with it. I start by shaving and exfoliating. If I'm going to use it on my face for a few days I like to use a mask first to really get my face clean. I then squeze two thick lines of this on my calves to my upper thighs and blend downwards over my feet to the underside of my feet (otherwise you get that obvious ombre look). I then wipe my knees and the bony parts of my ankle with a tissue to avoid those dry areas from absorbing too much color. Same thing with arms, chest and back, exfoliate first, and blot elbows or any rough patches. For my face, I tie up my hair and pull it back with a headband because you have to blend this into your hairline or you look like you are wearing a tan mask. Be sure to get your ears and your neck. I usually wait about ten minutes before dressing. Do not wear anything white directly after applying this or you will discolor it. I do this routine about twice to see a gorgeous, golden glow. The product has a bit of shimmer that you will notice immediatly after aplication. The color itself takes a few hours to fully develop. I constantly get asked if I've been on vacation after using this. It also has really helped moisturize my skin and I've noticed that it disguises the scarring I have on my upper legs from sports. I think it helps with masking cellulite too. Its really a great product with so many benefits along with the great color it provides. I hope you try it out!

Washes right offUpon first applying this product, I liked it. It was thin enough to apply evenly and soaked in quickly. It smelled good, and the shimmer was pretty, not bothersome. By the end of the day, I was satisfied with the noticeable color change. However, after a shower the next morning, I found I was back at square one. The "tan" washed off almost completely, except in a few drier spots. Because...read more of this, a week of daily use left me sort of blotchy. The majority of color in this product seems to just sit on top of the skin waiting to be removed, rather than staining it for a lasting "tan". Further evidence of the color's easy removal is it's obvious transfer to clothing. I know most self tanners do rub off on bra straps and such, but this seemed to be a worse offender. This would be alright for special occaisions, because it looks great on, but it's not a good option for regular use. — 8 years, 4 months agoamygab1126 | 242 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This

An exhibition is being staged to celebrate the 30th anniversary of a group of printmakers in Colchester.
The dozen-strong 12PM group was founded at the Minories, in the High Street, in 1984 and the exhibition, which starts on Saturday brings together members past and present.
A programme of residencies, workshops, demonstrations and discussions is planned.
12PM was formed from a group of professional artists working in and around Colchester, with the help of then Minories curator Jeremy Theopilus.
The group aims to increase awareness of printmaking – the use of techniques including etching, lithography and wood engraving – as an art form.
The exhbition will run at the Minories until November 1, with talks and demonstrations every Saturday at 2pm during its run.
The gallery is open between 10am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday.

A NEW set of pocket guides will be introduced to stimulate tourism in parts of Hampshire.
The 24-page booklets have been produced for visitors to Bishop's Waltham and Wickham, with a brief history of the area, in a bid to redesign the way the areas are advertised.
A consultation was held between local businesses and agencies, Glow in Wickham and PMDC Design in Droxford, to create a more individual look to the previous guides.
Heidi Isa, Winchester City Council's market towns development officer, coordinated the production of the guides with support from the Visit Winchester team, also based at the Council.
She said: "We have been focusing on developing footfall to these beautiful market towns by implementing a series of measures such as events promotion and brand development. The Pocket Guides mean we can showcase all this hard work in one place directly to visitors to the area.
"The next step of the project will be to distribute the guides further afield in order to encourage day-trippers to the towns."
Cllr Robert Humby, leader of Winchester City Council and portfolio holder for Economic development and Tourism, added: "We applaud the proactive attitude of the communities of both Wickham and Bishop's Waltham. The projects are great examples of local people seizing timely opportunities with business backing - and Winchester City Council has been only too pleased to lend its support to Wickham Parish Council, Bishop's Waltham Chamber of Commerce and its Town Team.
"Both destinations are situated in prime locations to be bases for the South Downs National Park. The Destination Management Partnership founded by Winchester City Council is always looking to cross-promote both the Winchester and South Downs destinations and the rural areas are a key focus in this as the National Park represents a good opportunity to reinvigorate tourism with far-reaching economic benefits."
Guides are available at Winchester Tourist Information Centre, cafés and shops in Bishop's Waltham and Wickham, and will soon be available at a selection of hotels and destinations across the region.

Hey guys! Today I'm gonna try something a little different. I don't normally like to focus a blog on a single wrestler, but John Cena is pretty much in a category of his own so I think I can devote a blog to him. First of all let me start off by saying I am not a Cena fan and have not been since his days in thuganomics; that being said I will do my best to do him justice and be impartial in this blog
Hey guys! I Haven't written any blogs in a while so hopefully I'm not too rusty. Today I wish to discuss a subject I've read alot about and felt like giving my 2 cents on and that subject is the biggest heel in WWE. In order to do this I think a brief history lesson is in order.
As many of us know the Attitude Era was considered a great era in wrestling history, one that is truly missed
As I mentioned in my previous thread it is my belief WWE's trying to keep Cena a face by associating him with Ryder (the internet champion) and while I was given alot of justifications on how that wouldn't make sense cause it would make Piper's segment with Cena irrelevant I still believe it's what's going on. It's no secret that WWE creative keeps changing scripts last minute and changes ideas all
Updated 12-14-2011 at 05:16 PM by Frank
Hey everyone! This blog isn't dedicated towards any females in WWE history only towards the ones refered to as Divas. Keep in mind my list is not based on wrestling skill alone, but rather on the impact these women had in WWE and maybe even the entire wrestling world. The list will be in no particular order and has a brief explanation on why I feel they belong there, but feel free to add your own
So yesterday WWE had yet another dissapointing PPV. Many of us watched it even though we predicted how crappy it would be. That being said I can get to my points:
Title Changes
Let's see John Cena went a whole year last year without being the champion (or so I've read) so naturally WWE had to compensate by making him the champion for the 3rd time in 6 months this year.
Hey guys! This is my second blog so far and unfortunately not a happy one. While in my first blog I spoke about how the addition of Chyna and Kharma raised fans' hopes in each of their feds it seems neither was meant to be.
First of all let's start with Kharma since she did debut first. After many months of being on the road as part of WWE she finally debuted and it was awesome! While

LONG BEACH - Say hello to your newest resident.
At nine pounds, four ounces, and a little bit more than 20 inches tall, baby Kaydin Calhoun joined the world at 2:36 a.m. Tuesday, becoming the city's first addition of 2013.
Her mom, Benita Lewis, 36, gave birth to the nine pound, four ounce, 20-inch girl at Long Beach Memorial Medical Center.
"The due date was Christmas," Lewis said. "But she came on New Year's and we weren't expecting it."
Although the baby arrived a week later than scheduled, she seemed quite eager to enter the world, Lewis said.
"It's kind of exciting because I did not know she was coming. I kind of felt it last night (Monday), but, because of the timing, I didn't know I was going to have her so quick," she said.
Lewis and her husband, David Calhoun, arrived at the hospital at 9 p.m. Monday. Then, 5<MD+,%30,%55,%70>1/<MD-,%0,%55,%70>2 hours later, Kaydin was born.
"I wasn't pushing all that time, I was at the hospital walking around and then they moved me to labor and delivery and, it took a little while, but then she came in about 20 minutes," she said.
This is the third child for the Long Beach native. Brother David, 12, and sister Kasadi, 8 are both excited about the new addition, Lewis said.
"This is my surprise baby," she said. "It's going to be the first of the year, but it's always going to be her day. We're going to make it her day."

blue blanket and books
I found this bright blue piece of wool fabric thrifing for only $7. I think it's the
color I've been looking for that our bedroom so badly needed.
In other blue news, some vintage books whose covers were designed by Paul Rand, an
artist my husband and I have come to love. I want to find a spot for them in our room,
the blues are so similar and the brown stripe on the cover of The Modern Temper matches
the rug we're going to add later.
I'll keep you updated the the progress, the very slow progress but progress nonetheless!

On Oct 17, three women received their upasampada ordination at the Spirit Rock Meditation Center. Woodacre, California
Navaka Bhikkhunīs Ānandabodhī and Santacittā are the principle teachers at the Aloka Vihara in San Francisco. They had previously trained with the Siladhara. During this past Vassa, they had regularly visited the Aranya Bodhi Hermitage for vinaya training with Ayyā Tathālokā, which will continue.
Navaka Bhikkhuni Nimmalā has trained with Ayya Medhānandī at the Sati Saraniya Hermitage in Ontario, Canada, where she will return.
It was quite a large gathering, including senior lay teachers from Spirit Rock, and monastics from the Zen, Chinese Mahāyāna, Tibetan and Catholic traditions. Spirit Rock has expressed its very sincere support for the fourfold sangha, both in supporting women's ordination, and integrating itself with the monastic sangha. For a long time, they have invited teachers from Abhayagiri and other monastics. In the run-up to this ordination, we established an ordination sima within their main hall.
Congratulatory messages were given by Bhikkhu Bodhi (via recording) and Bhikkhu Analayo.
I am pasting in the names of the ordaining sangha, for everyone's information. It was done by an act of the Dual Sangha consisting of a Theravāda Bhikkhunī Sangha led by Ayyā Tathāālokā Therī as Pavattinī (Upajjhā), and a Theravāda Bhikkhu Sangha led by Bhante Pallewela Rāhula Mahāthera as Ovadakacāriya. In addition to the Theravada sangha, several Bhikṣus / Bhikṣunīs from the Mahāyāna and Vajrayāna schools were invited to participate as witnesses.

Most of the prevailing wisdom about China declares that its economic success is due to a combination of mobileslotcash.com government policy and foreign direct investment. This book, China's Superbank:Debt Oil and Influence – How China Development Bank is Rewriting the Rules of Finance, goes quite a bit further in lifting the fog behind China's success first domestically, and now, internationally.
The authors, who are journalists working with Bloomberg, make it very clear from the beginning that there is no bank in the world which is quite like CDB (China Development Bank). It is a policy bank wholly-owned by the Finance Ministry of the People's Republic, which is controlled by the Chinese Communist Party, China's sole ruling political party. It stands where policy, finance and commercial lending. It does not have a public relations department, and it doesn't hire non-Chinese. New hires must not be only well-educated and smart, but they also need political criteria set by the Chinese Communist Party.
China Development Bank has an impeccable pedigree. Its founding chairman, Chen Yuan, is the son of China's economic policy head under Mao Zedong, Chen Yun. Chen Yuan has set China's expansionist policy overseas by:
- Setting up the China-Africa Development Fund under CDB to direct Chinese investments into developing African economies, and to insure that Chinese companies get ground-floor opportunities in Africa;
- In South America, it has set up "loans for oil" deals with the governments of Venezuela, Brazil and Ecuador;
- Directed loans to new industries such as photovoltaic cell manufacturing by offering favorable loan terms;
- Offered loans on favorable terms to favored companies such as Huawei and Chery;
These are just a few examples mentioned in the book.
Because of its largely secretive nature, it is seldom mentioned outside of the financial community; there is no desire on CDB's part to make itself known outside Chinese government and the financial community. In Africa and South America, the authors had to get much of their information from interviewing local government officials and business partners.
While many western analysts like to divide Chinese companies into public (Chinese state-owned) and private companies, in practice, CDB does not make this kind of differentiation. But the financing funds it provides are very much from the state. As a policy bank, it looks very much not only at the company's commercial ties and health, but also how support will help to further China's strategic interests.
In this key respect, CDB is very different from western investment and commercial lenders. The US, with its huge financial industry, does not have a single policy or investment bank which is so tightly aligned with government policy the way CDB is. It also makes it clear why opposition to having a US industrial policy would make it impossible for the US to have such a bank.
After reading this book, the reader will have a good idea of why western competition against the expansion of Chinese commercial interests are so futile.
China has an extra tool in its toolbox which the west simply doesn't have: China Development Bank.

Jozy Altidore set a new single-season career high Tuesday, scoring his 20th goal of the campaign in a Dutch Cup quarterfinal match marred by racist chanting from Den Bosch fans toward the U.S. national team striker.
Two Den Bosch players were ejected during the contest, which was suspended in the second half as fans persisted with the offensive cheering and began throwing snow and ice at the assistant referee. Video from the De Vliert stadium indicated that match officials also were considering halting play as fans abused Altidore toward the end of the first half, but the U.S. national team striker could be seen imploring them to let the game continue.
"What do you expect me to do? I'm not going to fight them," Altidore told Eredivisie Live after the game. "They just have some issues and they just need some help. That's all. You can only pray for them and hope they get better.
"I feel like I have an obligation as a football player to my club, to my family as well, to kind of not react to things like this and show the club stands for better than that I was raised better than that, to respond to such ridiculous behavior."
AZ eventually won, 5-0, and clinched a berth in the semifinals, but Tuesday's match will be remembered for the ugly scenes that occurred before and after Altidore lifted AZ to a four-goal advantage in the 39th minute. He drew, then converted, a penalty kick on a play that resulted in a red card to Den Bosch defender Jelle De Bock. But Altidore continued to be subjected to monkey noises made by a group of fans. The referee gave him the option to leave the field, but the 23-year-old refused.
"It's incredibly sad that this happens," AZ technical director and former U.S. national team midfielder Earnie Stewart told reporters at halftime. "The people at Den Bosch are ashamed of this. It's not only annoying for Jozy, but for Dutch football in general."
A Den Bosch official reportedly appealed to the fans to stop the racist chanting and said following the game, "I'm deeply hurt by these people. I'm ashamed of what just happened. I have no words for it."
The hosts were reduced to nine men in the 51st minute, which then prompted the snowballs and suspension. Fans were told over the public address system that if they didn't stop making "jungle noises" at that time the match would be abandoned. AZ scored a fifth after play resumed and Altidore earned the assist, setting up midfielder Adam Maher's second goal of the evening.
AC Milan midfielder Kevin-Prince Boateng, a Ghanaian international, made global headlines in early January when he walked off the field after hearing racist cheers from fans during an exhibition in Italy. He claimed he would have done the same if the game was competitive.
Altidore chose to stick it out Tuesday, although he might not have had a choice. The sport's authorities continue to decry racism but have made little tangible commitment to levying punishments that might serve as a deterrent, leaving players faced with having to perform in a toxic atmosphere or face the potential downside of abandoning the field in an official competition. Right now, the onus remains on the victims.
"It's a bit disappointing," Altidore said. "You would hope that we as humanity can grow from these type of times. But at the end of the day it's still a lot of racism. All we can do now is try to educate ourselves, the young kids coming up, to be better than that. That's all we can do."
Altidore's 20th goal surpassed the 19 he tallied in 2011-12, his first season with AZ. He has eight goals in his past six games. AZ will return to Eredivisie play on Saturday when it hosts Groningen.

Soto making strides; Adduci, Holland to get checked
ARLINGTON -- Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said that catcher Geovany Soto, who had surgery on his right knee at the conclusion of Spring Training, should be able to rejoin the Rangers in Toronto after the All-Star break if all goes as planned.
"Really the only physical restriction he's had now for a while is just a deep squat. With a torn meniscus that's really where it's at risk," Daniels said. "Obviously with being a catcher that's every single play of every game, so that's the main thing."
Daniels added that pitcher Derek Holland and outfielder Jim Adduci will have another visit with the medical staff.
Holland fell in his home in January and needed surgery to repair torn cartilage behind his knee. Adduci has fractured his left pinkie finger twice.
"I did hear on Adduci that he hit off the tee and it went pretty well so I think we're gonna ramp him up," Daniels said. "Derek, I don't have an update for you yet."

Baileys Crossroads Planning Study Initiated by Fairfax County
June 17, 2008
News Highlights
- Fairfax County Department of Planning and Zoning has initiated a planning study for a portion of the Baileys Crossroads Community Business Center.
- The study will result in recommendations for changes to the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan and strategies for implementing these changes.
- Frequently updated information about the study is available online.
More Information
The Fairfax County's Department of Planning and Zoning (DPZ) has initiated a planning study for a portion of the Baileys Crossroads Community Business Center (CBC). This study will result in recommendations for changes to the Fairfax County Comprehensive Plan and strategies for implementing these changes.
DPZ, along with a consultant, will coordinate the planning study. The study specifically looks at the area to the south and east of the interchange of Leesburg Pike (Route 7) and Columbia Pike (Route 244) in the CBC area, and will focus on evaluating and refining the concepts and strategies developed by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Advisory Services Panel for this area in 2006. The study is anticipated to be completed in October 2008.

- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop cancer cells from dividing so they stop growing or die. Colony-stimulating factors such as filgrastim may increase the number of immune cells found in bone marrow or peripheral blood and may help a person's immune system recover from the side effects of chemotherapy. It is not yet known whether combination chemotherapy with filgrastim and/or tretinoin is more effective than combination chemotherapy alone for acute myeloid leukemia.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying combination chemotherapy with filgrastim and/or tretinoin to see how well they work compared to combination chemotherapy alone in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
|Leukemia Myelodysplastic Syndromes Myelodysplastic/Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
|Biological: filgrastim Drug: cytarabine Drug: daunorubicin hydrochloride Drug: etoposide Drug: fludarabine phosphate Drug: tretinoin
|Phase 3
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Protocol for Patients With High Risk (Resistant, Refractory, Relapsed or Adverse Cytogenetic) AML
|Study Start Date:
|August 1998
|Study Completion Date:
|December 2004
- Compare standard induction chemotherapy with cytarabine, daunorubicin, and etoposide vs fludarabine and cytarabine in terms of achievement of remission, reasons for remission failure, duration of remission, survival, toxicity, and supportive care needs in patients with high risk acute myeloid leukemia.
- Determine if the use of filgrastim (G-CSF) or tretinoin administered during and following chemotherapy improves outcome in this patient population.
- Determine the impact of these treatment regimens on quality of life in these patients.
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, controlled, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to type of disease (resistant vs refractory vs relapsed vs adverse cytogenetic), age (under 15 vs 15 to 29, vs 30 to 49 vs 50-59 vs 60-69 vs 70 and over), performance status, and de novo and secondary leukemia. Patients with relapsed disease are further stratified according to duration of first remission (less than 6 months vs 6 to 12 months vs 12 months and over), and prior transplantation (yes vs no).
Patients are randomized into one of two treatment arms for induction chemotherapy.
- Arm I: Patients receive induction chemotherapy consisting of cytarabine IV every 12 hours on days 1-10, daunorubicin IV on days 1, 3, and 5 and etoposide IV over 1 hour on days 1-5. Patients receive a second course of therapy with cytarabine IV every 12 hours on days 1-8 and daunorubicin and etoposide as in course 1.
- Arm II: Patients receive 2 courses of induction chemotherapy consisting of fludarabine IV over 30 minutes followed by cytarabine IV over 4 hours on days 1-5.
Patients are further randomized into one of two treatment arms for colony stimulating factor therapy.
- Arm I: Patients receive filgrastim (G-CSF) subcutaneously or IV daily beginning on day 1 of each course of induction chemotherapy and continuing until blood counts recover, for up to a maximum of 28 days.
- Arm II: Patients receive no G-CSF during and following induction chemotherapy. Patients are further randomized into one of two treatment arms for retinoid therapy.
- Arm I: Patients receive oral tretinoin daily beginning on day 1 of induction chemotherapy and continuing for up to a maximum of 90 days.
- Arm II: Patients receive no retinoid therapy during and following induction chemotherapy.
Following completion of induction chemotherapy, patients achieving complete remission and blood count recovery may receive subsequent therapy consisting of consolidation chemotherapy and/or autologous or allogeneic transplantation.
Quality of life is assessed at 3 months.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: Approximately 800-1,000 patients will be accrued for this study within 4-5 years.

I own this stereo purely because when I bought a new car in April, this was the head unit the previous owner had put in it.
At first I didn't know that it was anything other than a standard CD player/radio and was looking at putting the stereo from my old car in before it was sold as it had a USB plug on it and I was used to having a variety of music available to me without having loads of CDs cluttering up my car.
It was only when I went into the glovebox for the first time that I noticed that there were three leads in there which appeared to be connected to the stereo. These were an IPod connector, a USB interface and a USB lead (I still don't know what this is for, not having the instructions). I'm probably one the few people who doesn't have an IPod, so I was left to try out the USB stick.
With a maximum output of 4 x 50w the sound is very clear even using the cars standard speaker system.
The stereo comes with a flip down fully detachable face plate which comes with a soft storage bag.
With the USB memory stick plugged in, it's just a case of tapping the rotary control up or down to switch albums or left & right to change tracks.
To change modes, you press the source button and spin the control to choose the option you want, then pressing the rotary control in to select.
It also has the option of adding a CD changer to it, if an Ipod & USB memory doesn't fulfil your musical needs.
The radio has FM, LW & MW frequency with preset storage available on all three.
A bluetooth hands free control is available as an optional extra.
I think this is a great stereo for a car, and recommended the newer version to my younger brother when he was upgrading his standard head unit.
My only complaint is that sometimes the rotary knob used for switching between sources, or music tracks can be a little over sensitive so you find it's gone onto a menu you didn't want.

Ambassador Nicholas Platt, Asia Society President
New Haven, CT
February 9, 2004
International Security Seminar
Yale University
This question occurred to me several months ago when I joined a team of regional specialists convened to brief Senator Bob Graham, who was then a candidate for President. As we went around the world, the speakers detailed a diplomacy in tatters in Europe, where France and Germany (sneered at as the "old Europe") opposed our unilateralist initiatives at every turn. We had better support from the "new" European countries like Poland, but that only exacerbated the split on the continent. Russia had strong interests in Iraq and stronger doubts about our policy there.
The Middle East presented a similarly grim picture, dominated by disapproval over our tacit support for Israel's draconian measures against the Palestinian population designed to control terrorist attacks. This attitude was shared across the Muslim world and blocked the development of positive relationships. Similar concerns were voiced about policy toward Latin America and Africa. The US administration was criticized for an arrogant, domineering, go it alone diplomacy, lacking in consultation, resulting in the worst drop in world opinion since the Vietnam War.
When in came my turn to review relationships in Asia, I found myself describing a different pattern. While there was scant approval among the populations of the Asian countries for our policy towards Iraq, the behavior of the governments was generally supportive of the US, and our relationships were, for the most part in good shape.
Japan, our oldest ally in the region, was backing us, even to the point of authorizing the dispatch of military units to Iraq, the first time forces were to be sent outside the country since WWII, an unprecedented measure that could even require a revision of the post war constitution. The security relationship and economic links are as good as they have been for a long time.
China, while disapproving of policy in Iraq, was determined not to spoil the improvement in bilateral relations that they had developed since 9/11, and which they regard as an essential element of their twenty year development strategy. In the UN, where they held a key veto as a member of the Security Council, they stood aside at key junctures in the tortuous debate over action in Iraq. A series of high level visits by the leaders of both countries in the last year have cemented the highest level of cooperation in recent years, despite some friction over trade.
South Korea has gone through a generational and a leadership change, which at one point seemed to threaten the foundations of the oldest most operational of our security alliances in Asia. But both sides have adjusted and a consensus has emerged in favor of continued cooperation. The ROK government is sending troops to Iraq as a token of support.
There is disagreement over the tactics of dealing with North Korea, to be sure, but the issue has always been treated as a neighborhood problem, with the United States adopting a consultative diplomatic approach involving the Chinese, the Japanese and the Russians as well as the South Koreans.
In Southeast Asia, the Philippines and Thailand have gained concessions from the United States for early supportive measures. Indonesia and Malaysia, both Muslim countries are unhappy with our policy in the Middle East, but continue to work with us bilaterally. Singapore, the smallest country with traditionally the biggest grasp of strategic realities is helping in a number of ways.
Australia's Howard government has gone out of its way to back the United States, proudly parrying domestic criticism that it is our "Deputy Sheriff" in the region.

A delicious treat - perfect recipe
Posted by teacup on Sep 22, 2015 | Verified Purchase
This is delicious if you like a sour-sweet taste such as cranberry sauce. I really enjoyed it very much. It has added sugar but not much. I've decided to go sugar free for now so I am not ordering more 'at this time'. fyi - hubby got a jar of blueberries with sugar and fruit pectin at Trader J's. and I almost went into insulin shock when I tried it. The added sugar in the TJ Blueberry Preserves was overwhelmingly sweet (almost sickening) to me unlike this very well made, smooth... Wild Natural Lingonberries TREAT. In the future we will purchase this delicious Lingonberry condiment again. It goes very well with Chicken or any other fowl. A few times I even ate a teaspoon after drinking a cup of milk as I wanted something sweet with milk but not too sweet and no starchy stuff and I didn't feel like eating chocolate as I am cutting down on Oxalic Acid. Usually my hubby eats all the cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving. (grin) We opened the wild-natural Lingonberries 'treat' in August and kept it in the fridge and I ate most of it. hehehe, He told me to get another jar in November or whenever it gets colder. If I am eating sugar again at that time I will purchase more.

Playoff Prospectus
World Series Game Three Preview: Giants at Tigers
The Giants held serve at AT&T Park, winning the first two games of the series by thrashing Justin Verlander behind Barry Zito in the opener and riding Madison Bumgarner in a duel with Doug Fister on Thursday night. Now, it's up to the Tigers to take at least two of three in Detroit to send the series back to San Francisco. Step one is winning tonight's Game Three, which may hinge on one offering by each starter that is crucial to his success.
Giants (Ryan Vogelsong) vs. Tigers (Anibal Sanchez) – 7:30 p.m. ET
Projected Starting Lineups:
Sanchez spent the first four months of the season in Miami before heading to Detroit along with Infante in late July, so unlike Verlander and Fister, he has recent experience against San Francisco to rely on and mistakes to learn from. He faced the Giants on May 3 at AT&T Park and on May 24 at Marlins Park, locking horns with Vogelsong both times and posting starkly different results.
In the May 3 outing, Sanchez—who is 3-0 with two complete-game shutouts and a 0.36 ERA in his career at China Basin—scattered seven hits (all singles) and a walk over seven innings of one-run ball, striking out five Giants along the way. Three weeks later, despite recording seven strikeouts, he was shelled for five runs in 5 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits, two of which went for extra bases. What was the difference? Take a look at the pitch charts below:
May 3
May 24
The 28-year-old Sanchez was considerably more effective against left-handed batters (.243/.299/.347 triple-slash line against) than his fellow righties (.291/.324/.473) this year, and while the magnitude of the gap is amplified by the small sample size of plate appearances, the reverse-split trend—699 OPS for lefties, 729 for righties—has held firm over the course of his career. As is often the case with pitchers who are effective against opposite-handed batters, the reason is a plus changeup, and Sanchez's ranks among the best in the game.
Notice that in the May 3 chart, most of Sanchez's changeups hit the bottom quartile of the strike zone, with six of them crossing the hitting area right at the knees. Conversely, on May 24, Sanchez sprayed his changeups erratically, missing way outside with four of them and leaving four others belt-high. The Giants took advantage—both because they were able to capitalize on the elevated changeups and because the control issues forced Sanchez to turn to lesser offerings when he was behind in the count—and the ugly box-score line from the 14-7 slugfest told the story.
Interestingly, despite Sanchez's well-supported reverse-split trend, built over a sample of more than 3,700 plate appearances, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said yesterday that he had chosen backup catcher Hector Sanchez to be his designated hitter in Game Three because he wanted an additional lefty bat in his lineup. In doing so, Bochy appears to be betting his seemingly infallible postseason track record on one game, played five months and three days ago, in which Pagan and Blanco collected two of the five extra-base hits Sanchez has surrendered in five career meetings with the Giants.
And that's why Sanchez's changeup is critical to the Tigers' success tonight. If it's on, Bochy's strategy may backfire. If it's not, the Giants will have one more powerful, if unpolished, hitter waiting to pounce.
Vogelsong has a quality changeup in his arsenal, too, but the key for the Giants' starter is—as I wrote in the previews for his past two playoff assignments—his two-seam fastball.
The two-seamer is Vogelsong's best weapon against right-handed batters, and he wore down the Cardinals in Game Six of the National League Championship Series by throwing it repeatedly on the inner half of the plate, or in brush-back territory a few inches off the left-hand black. Allen Craig, Yadier Molina, and David Freese—who hit fourth, fifth, and sixth, respectively, in St. Louis manager Mike Matheny's order—went a combined 1-for-12 with five strikeouts, enabling the Giants to cruise to a 6-1 win.
Tigers skipper Jim Leyland has a more balanced lineup than Matheny did, with the ability to mix Jackson, Cabrera, Young, and Peralta with the lefty-swinging Berry, Fielder, Dirks, and Avila, but if Vogelsong can neutralize the righties, Detroit will have as much trouble stringing together hits as it did in Games One and Two. On the other hand, if the 35-year-old struggles to command his two-seamer, as he did during his month-long slump between mid-August and mid-September, the Tigers have the talent to wake up with a roar.
One Tiger, in particular, should be salivating at the chance to step in against Vogelsong, a favorite foe he must have thought would prove elusive after he returned to the American League this summer. That Tiger, as you may have inferred from the hint, is Infante, who went 6-for-8 against Vogelsong in May, padding his overall line to 7-for-11 with seven singles and two steals, and earning his spot in the Matchup of the Game.
Vogelsong has pitched Infante every which way—backward, forward, all fastballs, no fastballs—and the 30-year-old second baseman has persistently been a thorn in his side. Hitting at the bottom of Leyland's lineup against right-handed starters, Infante is tasked with turning over the order and catalyzing crooked-number rallies. If Infante gets aboard, Vogelsong may face Jackson and Cabrera in high-stress situations out of the stretch. If he doesn't, Vogelsong will have more room for error in his showdowns with the sluggers.
And speaking of room for error, home-plate umpire Fieldin Culbreth won't provide much of it. As his umpire card shows, the 15-year veteran is somewhat inconsistent with the boundaries—and occasionally impressed by pitches several inches off the left-hand (from his perspective) corner—but Culbreth has a tight strike zone on the whole. That generosity with the inside edge to right-handed batters could serve to bolster Vogelsong's two-seamer, but Sanchez's superior control may be better suited for Culbreth's picky tastes overall.

Two of Sanchez's starts in SF have occurred right after big negative events for the Giants. One start was last year the day after Posey broke his leg in the Scott Cousins collision. One start this year in SF was immediately after Melky Cabrera received his PED suspension. It's possible that the Giants mental approach was not optimal in these games.
Oct 27, 2012 09:55 AM
Given the infante's record against vogelsong and berry's slow regression to the mean, infante rather than berry should be in the two hole. I know lineups are small things but it games with great pitchers on both sides games are decided on small things. ( case in point two rallies in game two killed by questionable baserunning risks ). No knock on sanchez, but scherzer should be starting this game. After looking at fisters summers, mad max's heat will be even tougher to adjust to due to the difference in styles. A week ago mad max grabbed a broom, tomorow he may be all that prevents a giant sweep

X-Division Championship: Rob Van Dam (c) vs. Austin Aries
Borash does the formal introductions. The bell rings and here we go. They trade shots in the center of the ring and counter each other. RVD kicks Aries back into the corner and takes him down with a nice body scissors takedown. RVD hits shoulderblocks in the corner. Aries hangs on to the ropes as RVD hits a dropkick to the air and falls hard on his back on the mat. RVD hits a crossbody to Aries to the outside as we take a break.
We begin this week with a recap of Wes Briscoe's Gut Check from last week and Aces & 8's latest casualty. We will hear from Hulk Hogan about Austin Aries' bombshell about Brooke and Bully Ray.
-We go to pyro and crowd shots. Hogan's music hits and he makes his way down to the ring.
Hogan gets a nice reaction and he says his world almost imploded last week. He says he is the GM but a father first. Hogan says he wants to know the truth and he calls Bully Ray out to fess up. Bully comes to the ring in street clothes. Bully says Hogan doesn't trust him, yet he wants to know what's going on from his mouth. Hogan says to cut the crap and wants to know what's going on between him and Brooke. Bully gets in his face and asks if he really wants to know who the number one man is in Brooke's life.
Brooke's music hits and she comes to the ring in a short black dress. Hogan asks her what is going on. She says she isn't 18 anymore. Hogan snatches the mic back and says he doesn't care and he wants the truth. He says as long as he's alive, he doesn't want her with any wrestler especially Bully. Austin Aries interrupts from the big screen. He is on Hogan's table in his office where X-Division stars are waiting for their GM. Aries lays down on the desk and wonders how Brooke does it. Hogan makes his way to the back. Brooke is shocked in the ring.
-We go to the announcers where they talk about what just happened. It is Championship Thursday. Who will Hogan pick to face Rob Van Dam for the X-Division Title? Gail Kim and "Hardcore Country" stretch in the back as we go to break.
Gail Kim vs. Mickie James
Kim makes her way to the ring followed by Mickie. Gail goes behind early and tries to roll up Mickie but she counters. Kim works the left arm and pulls Mickie's hair to take her down. Gail works Mickie in the corner and hits a clothesline to take her down. Kim drops Mickie in a reverse neck breaker for a 2. Kim applies a head scissors in the center of the ring. Mickie looks knocked out but she bridges her back to escape the pin. Mickie hits a faceplant and kips-up. Mickie misses from up top and Gail hits a running front dropkick and puts her feet on the ropes for the cover but Taryn the ref sees it. Mickie lands a nice kick to Kim and covers her but Kim kicks out. Mickie fights out of the corner and hits a head scissors takedown. Mickie drops Gail in a neckbreaker but Gail kicks out. Kim misses with the charge in the corner, Mickie hits a DDT off the 2nd rope for the win.
Winner by pin: Mickie James
-James Storm talks about being a man and making choices in the back to AJ. He talks about his daughter being dragged into this. AJ tells Storm is whining. AJ says he doesn't get a title shot for a year. Storm tells him to stop looking back but forward. We go to break.
-Hogan storms into his office and backs Aries up. Hogan has to make a decision. He asks what Kenny King has done. Kid Kash and Zema Ion argue over who should get the shot. Hogan tells Kenny to leave and Aries leaves as well.

ROWING: Langridge named in Great Britain squad
2:03pm Wednesday 14th May 2014
By Andrew Simpson
2:03pm Wednesday 14th May 2014
By Andrew Simpson
MATTHEW Langridge is part of a squad named today by Great Britain for the European Championships later this month.
The Northwich-born rower is one of five Olympic Games medallists in the men's eight for the regatta in Belgrade, which starts on May 30.
Pete Reed, Will Satch, James Foad and cox Phelan Hill are the others.
Langridge, 30, had been a doubt to make the cut after a back injury forced him to withdraw from last month's trials.
However the former Hartford High School pupil has recovered in time to take a seat in a boat that has delivered for him a silver medal in Beijing in 2008 and bronze in London two years ago.
For the past 18 months, chief coach Jurgen Grobler has made the men's eight his top boat, and he was rewarded with the category's first gold medal at last year's world championships.
A team of 50 rowers across 17 classes will contest the event.
"The European Championships have emerged as an important event in their own right and we are ambitious to do well in Belgrade," said team performance director Sir David Tanner.
"We are excited to see how our winter training translates into these races."
Two world cup regattas, at Aiguebelette in France next month and Lucerne in July, precede this year's world championships the following month.
Last season Langridge, now a member at Leander Club, competed alongside Bill Lucas in a double scull.
They won bronze in the world cup at London, only to miss out on a place in the world championship final.
The European Championships, in Serbia, run until Sunday, June 1.

LOS ANGELES—With a Lute Olson Court-like atmosphere and a nice cushion, the Arizona Wildcats looked to have control and a date in the Elite Eight.
It was about then that the Ohio State onslaught came, and the second-seeded Buckeyes rolled by sixth-seeded Arizona, 73-70, Thursday night at Staples Center to move one victory from the Final Four.
MORE: OSU-Arizona stats | NCAA Tournament bracket | Sweet 16 photo gallery
LaQuinton Ross took a pass from point guard Aaron Craft and netted a 3 from the wing with two seconds left to advance the Buckeyes to the Elite Eight.
Arizona led 31-20 with seven minutes remaining in the first half after a 3-pointer by Nick Johnson; that was the last time the Wildcats really had momentum until the final minute of the second half, when Mark Lyons converted an and-one to tie the game at 70 with 21.8 seconds remaining.
Ohio State finished the first half on a 14-7 run, and its roll grew into a 31-10 avalanche midway in the second half. When Deshaun Thomas dropped a 3 from the top of the key with 11:03 to play, the Buckeyes were up 53-43.
Lyons, who scored 50 points in Arizona's first two tournament games, often had his way with Craft in the first half. Craft, a defensive-minded player, could not stay in front of the quicker Lyons, leading to 10 of Arizona's first 22 points.
The Wildcats took control in the first half despite Solomon Hill being on the bench with two fouls. From the first possession after Hill took his second whistle, Arizona went on a 12-4 run to build a 26-17 lead with 8:56 to play.
The Buckeyes began to slice into that once they found someone besides Thomas to score. Thomas had 13 of Ohio State's first 22 points, and his runner in the lane (his 12th and 13th points of the half) started that 14-7 run which cut Arizona's lead to 38-34 at halftime. Thomas finished with 16 in the half.

Rofecoxib to Prevent Pain After Third Molar (Wisdom Tooth) Extraction
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
This study will evaluate the ability of a new non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) called rofecoxib to prevent pain following third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction. The Food and Drug Administration approved rofecoxib in 1999 to treat the symptoms of arthritis, menstrual cramps, and pain.
Healthy normal volunteers between 16 and 35 years of age in general good health who require third molar (wisdom tooth) extraction may be eligible for this study. Candidates will be screened with a medical history and oral examination, including dental x-rays as needed to confirm the need for third molar removal.
Participants will have all four wisdom teeth extracted, and a biopsy (removal of a small piece of tissue) will be taken from the inside of the cheek around the area behind the lower wisdom tooth. On the morning of surgery, patients will be given a dose of either the standard anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen (Advil, Nuprin, Motrin), or rofecoxib, or a placebo (a pill with no active ingredient). Before surgery, they will be given a local anesthetic (lidocaine) in the mouth and a sedative (midazolam) through an arm vein.
After the surgery, patients will remain in the clinic for up to 4 hours to monitor pain and the effects of the drug. Patients will complete pain questionnaires. Patients whose pain is unrelieved an hour after surgery may request and receive morphine intravenously (through a vein). After 4 hours, patients will be discharged with additional pain medicines (Tylenol with codeine and the study drug) and instructions for their use. They will also be given a pain diary to record pain ratings and medications taken at home. A clinic staff member will telephone patients at home the morning after surgery to ensure they are rating their pain intensity at the proper time and are taking their medications as instructed.
Patients will return to the clinic 48 hours after surgery with the pain diary and pain relievers. At this visit, another biopsy will be taken under local anesthetic.
|Drug: Rofecoxib
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|Pre-Emptive Analgesic Effects of a Selective COX-2 Inhibitor (Rofecoxib) in the Oral Surgery Model
|Estimated Enrollment:
|Study Start Date:
|November 2001
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|November 2003
Pain and inflammation are predictable sequelae following tissue injury, such as surgery. Conventional treatment for intraoperative and postoperative control of pain includes local anesthetic administered preoperatively and analgesics administered postoperatively. Disadvantages of these approaches include pain during the interval when the effect of local anesthesia dissipates and the postoperatively administered analgesic takes effect and adverse effects of opioid-containing analgesics in ambulatory patients. Research over the past two decades has demonstrated that administering nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) preoperatively significantly reduces the intensity and the duration of postoperative pain up to eight hours (Dionne et al., 1978 and Jackson et al., 1989). Parallel clinical investigations suggest that the pre-emptive treatment with a long-acting local anesthetic or an NMDA-antagonist reduces pain at 24 to 72 hours post-surgery (Gordon et al., 1997; Yamamoto et al., 1993; Gordon et al., 1999). This proposed clinical trial will use the oral surgery model to assess the therapeutic efficacy of pre-emptive and preventive treatment with a potent selective COX-2 inhibitor, rofecoxib (Vioxx® (Registered Trademark)), given prior to and following third molar extractions to reduce postoperative pain at 24 and 48 hours post-surgery.
This study is a double-blind, randomized control trial with parallel groups using placebo, ibuprofen, or rofecoxib. Rofecoxib 50 mg will be administered PO 90 minutes before surgery in the Clinical Center at NIH and another 50 mg will be self-administered 24 hours later by the subjects at their homes. This regimen is predicted to suppress the onset and intensity of post-operative dental pain to a greater extent than placebo or a non-selective COX-1/COX-2 inhibitor (ibuprofen). The analgesic effect of the drugs will be estimated by hourly observations over the first four hours after surgery using two different measures of pain intensity, the category scale and a visual analog scale (VAS). It is hypothesized that the pre-emptive administration of a selective COX-2 inhibitor, rofecoxib will inhibit the development of central and peripheral sensitization following tissue injury which manifests as hyperalgesia at later time points.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|Child, Adult, Senior
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Male or female volunteers referred for third molar extraction willing to undergo 3 visits: 1 screening visit, 1 surgical appointment, and 1 follow-up research-related appointment.
Between the ages of 16 to 35 years (based upon eruption patterns and age-related complications associated with surgical extraction of third molars)
In general good health- American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) status I or II (healthy subjects based upon criteria for safe administration of out-patient conscious sedation)
Willing to undergo observation period for four hours post-operatively
Willing to complete a 100 mm visual analog scale and a category scale every hour for the first 4 post-operative hours, and again at 24 and 48 hours
Willing to have a preoperative biopsy on the day of surgery and a postoperative biopsy at 48 hours
Willing to return 48 hours to return completed pain diaries and for the postoperative biopsy
Sum total of the assessment of surgical difficulty ratings (Screening visit) must be between 8 to 14 in order to evaluate subjects experiencing similar pain levels.

How to Increase Your Star Power and Land a New Job
By Jacqui Barrett-Poindexter,
Have you ever watched a particular performance and then wondered how that person became so popular? After all, you may have thought, there is nothing exceptionally astonishing about the way they sing, dance, act, play a musical instrument or tell a joke. You know for a fact that there are likely thousands of individuals who could perform at least at the level of what you are witnessing, yet none of them have achieved even a smattering of the acclaim this person has.
One word can typically sum up the reasons for this: marketing!
If you want to be a star, you must create buzz. This is true whether your sights are on Carnegie Hall or the next job opportunity in your chosen career. Following are five great ways to market yourself in the workforce to help you become the "next big thing:"
1. Generate Buzz Through a Storyboard
Is your resume a blockbuster film that will have all of the critics talking, or a straight-to-video documentary? If it's the latter, and you're not sure how to make more of it than you have, consider partnering with a professional "agent" that may be able to tell your story better than you can. Tune into the adage about "tooting your own horn" to be reminded of the importance of having someone speak for you. With very few exceptions, most entertainment personalities must rely heavily on those they hired to get the word out, regardless of their talent. Why should your
career search
be any different?
2. Hang Out With the Stars.
To be recognized, you have to be seen. Be on the lookout for
and gatherings that attract those you want to be seen by, and then be there as well. Being a part of local events, charities and professional associations is a great way to make contacts that otherwise may never have been made. If you're currently employed, seek out projects with star performers and influencers and then jump in, feet first to become a key contributor–show them your value.
3. Stay in Touch.
Let those you've worked for in the past know you're ready for the next role. They may not personally have anything available, but the chances are, they know someone in the industry who does. Channeling these past successful relationships for your future success is a sure-fire way to keep your name on the "A" list.
4. Be Willing to Accept Smaller Roles.
Many successful people have had to take bit parts just to keep the bills paid while waiting for another starring role. These smaller parts also help to keep hard-earned skills honed. Don't allow pride to get in the way of keeping your career afloat while you maintain a weather eye on the horizon.
5. Be Searchable.
The Internet is making overnight stars out of everyone from newborns to pets. Get in on the action by making certain that whatever you bring to the table can quickly be found. There are a host of outlets available to the job seeker, so find the one that works best for you, and prepare to dazzle your intended audience.
Following these few simple tricks of the marketing trade is sure to increase your "star power" and leave your audience in awe.

Below you will find information about state highway planning projects for Whatcom, Island and Skagit counties. The documents are in Adobe Acrobat portable document format (.pdf). You can download a free copy of Adobe Reader at the Adobe Web site.
Bellingham: I-5, Bakerview interchange value planning study The west Bakerview overpass is a heavily traveled arterial that crosses I-5 between the Bellingham International Airport and some of Bellingham's largest commercial and industrial centers. Improvements are needed to support additional commerce in the area. Improving the overpass is expected to have significant economic development benefits. Our long-term plan calls for a full re-build of the interchange, which we cannot afford. In 2010, WSDOT, city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Whatcom Council of Governments and Port of Bellingham staff completed a value planning study which recommended several cost-effective improvements to the overpass that will help reduce delays and improve safety.
The city of Bellingham received grant funding from the Transportation Improvement Board and Whatcom County Economic Development Investment (EDI) program, and partnered with the Port of Bellingham, Whatcom County, WSDOT and private businesses to complete the $3.2 million project. The improvements were substantially completed in November 2013.Bellingham: Interstate 5 Master Plan - Fairhaven to Slater We analyzed current and future traffic conditions on I-5 and made recommendations for improvements to the interstate, including interchanges and connected local roads from Fairhaven Parkway (exit 250) to Slater Road (exit 260) in Whatcom County. The plan includes a list of short- and long-term projects to improve safety, help relieve congestion, and increase freight mobility through the year 2035. Improvements will be implemented as funding becomes available.
Mount Vernon: Interstate 5 Master Plan - Conway to Cook We analyzed current and future traffic conditions on I-5 and will make recommendations for improvements to the interstate, including interchanges and connected local roads from SR 534 in Conway (exit 221) to the Cook Road Interchange (exit 232), in Skagit County. The Plan includes a list of short- and long-term projects to improve safety, help relieve congestion, and increase freight mobility through the year 2035. Improvement projects will be implemented as funding becomes available.
Whidbey Island: SR 20 and SR 525 - Island Concurrency Intersection AnalysisWe will evaluate existing and forecasted future traffic conditions at 10 intersections on Whidbey Island. We will examine a range of alternatives, including low-cost improvements, and make recommendations to restore acceptable level of service for those intersections that are at, or are expected to fall below, the level of service standard for concurrency. The project will result in a list of priority improvement strategies.
Oak Harbor: SR 20, Swantown Road to Cabot Drive - Corridor Pre-Design Analysis We partnered with the City of Oak Harbor to review corridor needs and develop a detailed plan that will facilitate design and construction of future highway improvements.
Clinton: Issue identification analysis We worked with the Clinton community to identify and prioritize transportation concerns along the portion of SR 525 stretching from milepost 9.38 through Clinton to the ferry dock at milepost 8.48. We initiated the report at the request of community members, who expressed concern about speed, traffic circulation at the ferry terminal, and other issues in the corridor.
SR 530, Sauk River Corridor Study Each year, the constantly shifting Sauk River threatens collapse of the roadway. Since 2003, WSDOT spent in excess of $6.1 million on SR 530 between MP 50.0 and 65.0 to address conflicts between the highway and the Sauk River. Our technical analysis suggested that minor realignments and armoring (i.e. log crib wall treatments) are the most promising strategies for providing benefits in the next 20 years. We concluded that proceeding with the programmed minor realignment at MP 59.5 is the most beneficial next investment to address conflicts between SR 530 and the Sauk River.
Arlington: 43rd to 67th corridor pre-design Together with the city of Arlington, we have identified current and future safety and mobility needs on SR 531 between 43rd Avenue NE and 67th Avenue NE. The purpose of this analysis was to update previous work by WSDOT and city of Arlington and provide a reliable preliminary cost estimate and footprint that accounts for likely risks to budget and project delivery. Although there is no funding currently available to implement recommended improvements, the corridor pre-design is a necessary first step toward making future improvements in the corridor and will guide decision-makers as they seek funding for projects.
Mount Vernon: College Way Value Planning Study Improvements are needed to address existing and forecasted traffic congestion on College Way (SR 538) in the vicinity of the I-5/SR 538 interchange. Our long-term plan calls for a full rebuild of the interchange that we cannot presently afford. As a lower-cost alternative, we evaluated a proposal to fit additional lanes on College Way under the existing I-5 interchange bridge to move traffic and reduce the potential for backups on I-5.
Bellingham: SR 539, I-5 improved access project Completed in April 2007, the SR 539/I-5 Improved Access Project examined existing causes of congestion and evaluated alternatives to reduce congestion, improve safety and enhance freight mobility. The purpose of this traffic analysis is to identify existing and future safety and congestion problems on the Guide Meridian (SR 539); to determine why these problems occur; and, if diverting traffic to one or more new east-west connectors in northern Whatcom County in the vicinity of the SR 539 corridor would reduce traffic volume on SR 539 in congested segments of the corridor.
SR 539‐Guide Meridian, I‐5 to Horton: Traffic ImprovementsThis pre‐design analysis, completed Oct. 2011, is a precursor to a full design and engineering effort that gave us an opportunity to assess several options before selecting improvements for the highway. With support from city of Bellingham we completed technical analysis and solicited public input to complete the evaluation.
Whatcom County: Mount Baker Highway scenic byway management plan - The Mt. Baker Highway Scenic Byway Management Plan was established to identify the roles and responsibilities of the U.S. Forest Service and Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in the coordination of transportation activities along State Route 542 within the National Forest Service Boundary.
Bakerview to Grandview Sub-Regional Transportation AnalysisThis project will analyze the state and regional transportation system in the Bellingham/Ferndale area to examine existing and future transportation system needs, support community comprehensive plans and identify cost effective strategies and improvements that will keep people and goods moving to support the regional economy, the environment and communities in the study area. In partnership with the Whatcom Council of Governments, WSDOT is evaluating this area now because employment, population, and land-use forecasts indicate that it will experience significant growth, including housing and commercial development. Study results will help inform local, regional, state and federal transportation agencies and the public about current transportation conditions, future needs and potential improvement strategies. Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) ITS remains one of the most inexpensive ways to reduce traffic congestion and improve safety. ITS investments integrate advanced communication technologies into transportation infrastructure, allowing WSDOT to provide information such as real-time traffic conditions and travel times. This information helps manage transportation demands and relieve congestion.
