The joint venture of Stacy and Witbeck, Inc., and Herzog Contracting Corp. utilize innovation and fluid communication to safely construct a 45-mile commuter rail line.
Juggling the various elements of a 45-mile, $525-million commuter rail project is challenging enough in railroad construction. Add to it the need to closely work with local communities, transit agencies and a freight railroad to make sure safety is observed and communication remains open and it becomes clear why Stacy and Witbeck, Inc./Herzog Contracting Corp., a Joint Venture, was awarded the National Railroad Construction and Maintenance Association's 2012 Railroad Construction Project of the Year, which was presented at the association's annual conference in January 2013.
"The safety record, scope of the project and the cost containment measures utilized in this multiyear project are what made the Stacy and Witbeck/Herzog Contracting Corp. project stand out. With more than million man hours worked in challenging situations without a single lost time accident, the companies have demonstrated that safety was the absolute top priority. The coordination and interface with major project stakeholders, such as Union Pacific, 14 cities, two counties and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) was impressive and displayed a commitment to quality work in a partnership environment," the NRC said of the project.
The FrontRunner South project is part of Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) FrontLines 2015 program, which is composed of five UTA rail projects that will be in operation by 2015 and will expand the existing rail network by 70 miles. The FrontRunner South project scope of work included 30 bridges, two million cubic yards of earthwork, 50 miles of roadbed preparation and trackwork, 40 joint (with UP) at-grade crossings, signaling work and station construction. The project began construction in August 2008 and began carrying commuters between Salt Lake City and Provo in December 2012.
Challenges known and unknown
The project construction contract utilized a modified design-build process known as Contract Manager/General Contractor (CMGC). According to Clayton Gilliland, project manager with Stacy and Witbeck, the CMGC format helped the joint venture become familiar with the scope of work because the companies were able to work closely with the project designer and provide input throughout most of the design process, which allowed for accurate pricing of materials and work prioritization. The CMGC format also allowed the companies to tackle the known challenges of the project, such as fitting the commuter rail corridor inside Union Pacific's existing right-of-way.
Gilliland notes that several industries are served off of the UP mainline. If the commuter rail project utilized the same side of the track as the various industries, the services would frequently intersect.
"The alignment itself was an engineering challenge because you're trying to fit it in between the existing mainline and fit it on the right-of-way. UTA and UP made a decision that we would [build the commuter route] on the east side of the UP for the northern third of the job and on the west side of the UP for the southern two-thirds of the job and that fit better with industries and properties," said Gilliland.
The joint venture constructed a flyover where the project crosses over the UP from east to west, in south Jordan. This flyover consisted of a 1,000-foot bridge constructed in the middle of a curve to carry the UTA commuter traffic over UP's freight traffic.
Gilliland also said a five-mile stretch, known as the Jordan Narrows, right in the middle of the project presented another engineering challenge.
"There's a section where we parallel the Jordan River and it's very remote, so there's no access to the work except for a cut out at each end of the five-mile stretch," said Gilliland.
He says that in addition to the multiple irrigation canal crossings, which could only be worked on during the winter so farmers were not affected during the summer season, the project needed to cross the Jordan River at two locations and a portion of UP's line needed to be relocated in order to make room for the FrontRunner project.
"Sequencing the work, accessing the work and optimizing the alignment through the Jordan Narrows was a big known engineering challenge," said Gilliland.
While the known engineering challenges allowed for proper planning of solutions, there were a few situations that cropped up during the course of the project, which required innovative thinking on the part of the joint venture.
An example of this was making sure the FrontRunner South construction fit into the various project stakeholders' requirements. UP requested the project be constructed 40 feet from its mainline instead of 25 feet, which pushed the project into private property requiring additional property acquisitions that needed to be prioritized to keep work progressing.
Additionally, the project included building several grade separations over UDOT roads. During FrontRunner South construction, Gilliland says UDOT was in the middle of an accelerated bridge construction campaign that severely limited roadway outages and required close to zero impact to the traveling public.
"We had to change our means of bridge construction," said Gilliland.
The bridge designs were standardized and included precast elements that were a complete assembly, including deck, girders, ballast, retaining walls, walkway and handrail. Not only did this reduce traffic impacts during construction, but helped as a cost containment measure, as well.
"We also would work around the clock on the weekends to drill shafts so we could get out of the way by Monday morning and have the road completely opened," said Gilliland.
While the project's various challenges kept all stakeholders on their toes, the common theme with every solution seemed to be rooted to good communication.
Gilliland says Stacy and Witbeck was part of the FrontRunner North construction and the relationship with UP was a continuation for FrontRunner South.
"We had quite a bit of momentum with UP, but they would send a representative into our weekly planning sessions so we would describe to them in detail the work we had planned for the following week. They had representatives on the ground with our crews and during job briefings, where work being done that day would be described, the UP rep. could weigh in," said Gilliland. "With UDOT, we met with them bi-weekly to talk about upcoming work and we met regardless if there were any issues. We just met to keep the dialogue open and I think that was effective. The rest of the municipalities, we provided them updates, such as stakeholder luncheons, to let them know where the work was and what was coming up."
Safety factor
As with any project this size, safety is a top priority. The project expended more than two million man hours and averaged more than 325 persons engaged on site every day with zero lost time accidents.
In the NRC Project of the Year application, the joint venture noted several contributing factors to its safety success, including:
Unwavering support of the safety program from UTA and the joint venture's corporate leadership.
The joint venture felt strongly that self-performed work (60 percent) gave it an extraordinary platform to set the pace for safety performance in a very tangible way and earn the respect of the project's subcontractors.
Continually working to convince the project's individual craft employees that the joint venture cared for their individual wellness.
Each day began with a START card, enhancing hazard awareness and each week began with an all hands safety meeting that included a variety of training topics, recognition and awareness. Additionally, every crew was encouraged to "Take 30" minutes every week for safety to review the site conditions, discuss the operational risks and generally recharge the safety focus.
A "PPE Quick Reference Guide" was issued that visually identified the personal protective equipment recommended for all common power tools.
The joint venture held a belief that planned work decreases the risk of incidents.
Another safety element was the "Pinch Point Protection" system the team developed with UP. Gilliland says there were areas along the project that did not have adequate right-of-way to allow normal track clearance between FrontRunner and UP. The "Pinch Point Protection" system was designed to shut down both railroads in the event any equipment encroaches into the adjacent railroad's operating envelope. According to Gilliland, the system consists of steel posts with an electrical circuit that were installed between FrontRunner and UP tracks every 100 feet. If the post is knocked over by a derailed train, the circuit would be interrupted and it would shutdown both tracks.
Measure of success
In addition to being awarded NRC's Project of the Year, the project won the Utah AGC "Partnering Project of the Year" in 2011; Keith Tarkalson, general superintendent and construction manager, was awarded Utah AGC "Superintendent of the Year" in 2011 and the project won Stacy and Witbeck's "Safest Project of the Year" in 2011.
While the recognition is certainly nice, for Gilliland, being able to provide a transportation alternative to the region was also a great accomplishment.
"There is no other paralleling freeway or reasonable paralleling surface street, there is only one other option and that's I-15. If there is a weather day or a traffic accident, the commute is just impossible," said Gilliland. "Providing that option and seeing the excitement from everyone on opening day and knowing the commuters are adding two hours of useful time to their day because they're on the train, not white-knuckled, stressful driving, is what I think is pretty cool."

Facial hair has always been an art, with styles such as the modern goatee, the long, white ZZ Top look, the Santa Claus look and, most recently, the long, fat beards like the ones worn by the Robertson family on television's "Duck Dynasty."
Larry Gilbert has been a barber for 42 years. For all but two of those years, the 64-year-old has had a beard.
On Tuesday afternoon, he stepped behind his barber chair at the Skyland Barber Shop, grabbed a brush and worked it through the protruding, salt-and-pepper hair on his face. His beard, normally a lot shorter, hung down to the top of his Harley Davidson shirt.
Gilbert says his beard is something he could never imagine being without. In fact, he's never even thought about shaving it. It's become a way of life.
And that's the case for many people who live in the foothills and mountains. Beards mean more than fashion.
Facial hair has always been an art, with styles such as the modern goatee, the long, white ZZ Top look, the Santa Claus look and, most recently, the long, fat beards like the ones worn by the Robertson family on television's "Duck Dynasty."
Gilbert's goal is to grow his beard down to his waistline. His desire for a beard grew from the lack of a desire to shave, he said.
"We all had long hair back in the day," Gilbert said. "We're talking about the late 1960s."
The desire to avoid a daily shave is just one of many reasons behind furry faces in Henderson County. People from all walks of life grow beards.
Bearded for the Gospel
Chuck Kuester's beard started out as freedom of expression. The 63-year-old had just been discharged from the Marines and he "wanted to look as non-Marine as possible at the time."
"I didn't have any money," he said, "but I did have freedom."
Almost immediately, the facial hair felt like a part of his personality.
"From the moment it stopped itching, it felt like I was meant to be a bearded man," he said.
As Kuester has aged, however, the long, white hair on his face has taken on a new role. Now Kuester uses his beard to bond and connect with Christian men. He found the national group Bearded Gospel Men, and decided to start a local chapter.
Bearded Gospel Men WNC started on Facebook, and the group, using their beards as a commonality, was brought together to "glorify God." The group has 75 likes on Facebook, and at least 16 of those men want to start meeting monthly.
"It's more of a fellowship thing and to make those smooth, shaving men jealous," Kuester said.
Society of beards
For some men, beards are definitely a lifestyle. It comes with the mountain region and doing mountainous things. That's the case for a group of guys that get together on the first Thursday of every month to ride bikes and hang out at a local restaurant.
The group started after Chad Banner, an agent with the Brevard Insurance Agency, went to a wedding in Charleston. He discovered the Holy City Beard and Mustache Society, then came home and shared the idea with his friends.
"The core group of us had beards," he said, so all of his friends jumped on the concept, and the Pisgah Beard Society was born. Banner is the president of the society.
One of the society's key members is Wes Dickson. Dickson, 36, is the owner of Sycamore Cycles in Brevard and Hendersonville. Dickson is not just a business owner, but also a member of the Brevard City Council.
His wife has never seen him without a beard, he joked. He began growing his beard in 2000, and it's a product of the world around him, he said.
"A lot of people I dealt with day in and day out had beards," he said of growing up in Pisgah.
And then there are his current surroundings. Dickson is a mountain biker and he lives that rugged, outdoor lifestyle.
"There's some lifestyle built into it," he said. "There's a good portion of mountain bikers that have beards."
Bearded identity
John Williams, 37, has taught science at North Henderson High School for the past seven years. He's also an assistant wrestling coach. He's been growing his beard for the past 20 years.
It's been short, long and has even trimmed down to a goatee. The one thing it hasn't been is — gone. And Williams doesn't plan to shave it. It's a part of who he is.
The identity factor is why many men say they have grown beards, kept them and refused to shave them.
"Everything (in society) is changing so much," Williams said about the acceptability of beards. "Individuality is more important these days."
Beards don't get stares anymore, he said, and shows such as "Duck Dynasty" have driven the look into popularity.
For Dickson, even politics hasn't changed his desire to keep his beard. To shave his beard would be to alter his identity, he said.
"It's just one of those things," he said. "I've never hid from who I am. I am who I am."
As Dickson said, the trend may stem from a man's surroundings, family and friends, but for whatever reason, beards are becoming popular again.
"It seems to be picking up as the cool thing to do," Pisgah Beard Society's Banner said. "Maybe a part of it is the mountains."

Hi Tiffany!ReplyDelete
LOVE your videos! Just found it here. I would love it though if you´d do someone elses make-up more often.
I don´t have those BIG gourgeous eyes like you, but rather small ones. You know, deep set with small "lid-areas" so when my eyes are open you can´t see much of my lids. You don´t have any annoying creases around your eyes eather. (Your eyes are so beautiful!)
I´ve pretty much given up on make-up since on me there´s not much to make-up as I see it. Finding your great videos has inspired me though. Really!
I´m sure you have great tips for us with small, deepset eyes.
Thank you for vlogging!!
/Emma, Sweden
love the look..^_^ReplyDelete
I love how wearable this is and you have tremendous ability to rock out the neutrals (which is my kind of look!)ReplyDelete
Wonderful look Tiffany!ReplyDelete
I've been wondering about your creative process. You think of something and then make the video or you think, test and then make the video? In both cases I must congratulate you. You have total mastery and knowledge of products, colors and effects and total commitment with your videos.
Is it possible to do this line on every eye shape?ReplyDelete
Love your videos! You are in my "Top 10"!! hehe :)ReplyDelete

The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 1433 and light-rail operations contractor, Alternate Concepts, Inc. (ACI), have agreed to continue labor negotiations, keeping light-rail operators on the job under existing work conditions.
ATU and ACI have both agreed to submit their issues to binding arbitration where the decision of the arbitrator will be final. The arbitration process will begin in early 2013.
"I'm pleased that these discussions will continue because it's critical that our light-rail system keeps running and that service is provided across the region," said Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton, chairman of the Valley Metro Rail Board. "I have spoken to both sides on this issue and I stand ready to work with them toward a long-term resolution."
The Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) between the ATU and ACI expired on June 30, 2012. Two 90-day extensions have occurred to allow for greater discussion; the second extension is set to end on December 31, 2012. The agreement will continue the terms of the current CBA until a new agreement can be reached in 2013.
"We are relieved that our passengers will not be affected, especially this holiday season," said Valley Metro CEO Steve Banta. "Both ACI and the Union representing our operators have been instrumental in the success of our light rail system and delivering a service that is of value to nearly 50,000 riders a day."
ACI has served as Valley Metro Rail's operations contractor since 2006. There are currently 47 operators employed by ACI who provide Valley residents with safe, reliable light-rail service.

January 26, 2014
While the rest of the team is bearing the cold weather in Hanover, Kayden and I are studying abroad in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the winter on a Dartmouth LSA (Language Study Abroad) program. There are actually two LSA's for the Spanish department—the other one is located in Barcelona, Spain, where Katie, Alli and Kaira are right now. To clarify, seasons are switched in Argentina, so it is summer here. Because Kayden and I are from Texas, we can handle the heat.
We are taking three Spanish classes: a history/culture class, a literature class, and the Dartmouth Spanish III equivalent. Upon arrival, we were immersed in the Spanish language right away. Not only are the classes taught in Spanish, but we also live with a host family. The first day I met my host mother and sisters was awkward and challenging, but now it is much easier, and I love being in an actual home rather than a dorm. My family is extremely hospitable and social with me.
At first, it was hard being thrown into a big city with a different language, culture and customs. Speaking Spanish constantly and adapting to a different way of life are challenging. One of the hardest things for me to get used to is how late everything is here. Sitting down to eat dinner at 10:30 p.m. is completely normal. It is also the culture to sit at the table and talk for a least an hour after everyone is done eating. Here, they call that after-dinner conversation a "sobremesa." I find it funny that stores on the street very rarely open before 11 a.m. and close by 5 p.m. How are people making any money? Also, service here is very slow. I think porteños (the Spanish name for people from Buenos Aires) like to take their time with everything. They live casually and without worry, much different than the speed of American life.
We have free time to explore the city as well as planned events and trips. For starters, every Tuesday we take tango classes. I am completely hooked on the dance now. It is so much fun! I love watching the locals dance. They are so passionate and great at improvising. I plan to join the tango club at Dartmouth when I go back. I have traveled some already. On a free weekend, Kayden and I went to Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay to relax at the beach. It was so strange tanning in January, but I wasn't complaining! This weekend, the group went to the Iguazú National Park, which is in the most northern tip of Argentina. Words cannot describe how blown away I was by it. The waterfalls have been named one of the 7 wonders of the world and I couldn't agree more. The main attraction was called "The Devil's Throat," which was like Niagara Falls times four. I took a million photos, but I am sure they still didn't capture the essence. I felt like I was in an Avatar movie or something. It was so surreal. I have never been so blown away by nature. It was hands down the most amazing natural phenomenon that I have ever seen in my life. On our ten-day break, Kayden and I and our moms are going to go to Machu Picchu in Peru. I am so excited! The Iguazú Falls will have some competition.
Obviously I cannot get the same volleyball training and reps that my teammates are in Hanover, so it is an adventure improvising workouts. Kayden and I got a membership to a gym by our house and work out with a personal trainer from Germany (not sure how he got to Argentina). The gyms here are nowhere near as nice as Hanover. In February, the volleyball team at my university in Buenos Aires starts up again. I am really excited to touch a volleyball again and play in a team setting.
Overall, I am elated that I had the opportunity to go on this trip. Being a varsity athlete and being able to study abroad is very rare. In that case, Dartmouth is particularly unique, and I love it for its flexibility with the D Plan. I feel like studying abroad is an unparalleled experience and what you learn cannot be taught in a classroom. I already feel so much more educated and cultured, and it's only been 3½ weeks. I can't wait for the weeks ahead.

More about 'daily practice'
In the Samyutta nikaya V (Sayings on stream entry p347 The great chapter Dhammadina ) 5oo rich merchants came to see the Buddha . They explained they were given over to the joys of wives and family and captivated by the five strands of sense pleasures. They asked how they should live their lives. The Buddha suggested that they train themselves thus:
That would be pretty much be what I do from time to time...."as to those discourses uttered by the Tathagatha, deep, deep in meaning, transcendental and concerned with the void (about anatta) from time to time we will spend our days learning them. That is how you must spend your days."
Hope that is not being evasive?

This Just In: BSNYC Cashing In Some Sick Days!
Hope you had a good weekend. Mine was a bit of a "mixed bag." Saturday was an unseasonably warm day which I spent enjoying some family-style bicycling, and then Sunday I fell ill and underwent the violent alimentary process doctors refer to as "puking."
As you can imagine, going from this:
To this:
Was quite a jarring about-face.
I'm pleased to report I'm on the mend, but since my employer provides me with ∞ sick days I'm going to go ahead and take two (2) of them. This means I will return on Wednesday, March 12th with the top-notch Internet content to which you've become accustomed. (I don't mean to imply this is actually top-notch Internet content, only that you've become accustomed to my unique brand of sub-mediocrity over the years and thus your judgment is now grossly miscalibrated.)
In the meantime, thanks for bearing with me (or if you're not bearing with me then screw you too), and I look forward to returning bright-tailed and bushy-eyed on Wednesday.

"I often ride my bike to work and park it in my office and in the springtime, I ride my bike all over. People see me and take a second look and say, 'What are you doing without a helmet?' Bike helmets are too ugly. Not good. We need to create a new helmet."
So we've all got something to look forward to.

That's just adorable the way that chick gingerly places her face in the toilet in an overly delicate and girly simulation of puking. Unless maybe there's a giant COCK in that toilet bowl. Either way I bet she scoured the bowl with Lysol for 30 minutes.

I'm glad the young lady located her wedding ring before she flushed. That's not a disembodied hand, incidentally. Rather, she's keeping her hair out of the weewee while she steels herself to retrieve it.

Here's a Pro Tip...hold it for them....you can actually get the "plunger action" going.
Pro Tip #2: If your babe gives you the type of BJ where you can access the vajayjay do not I repeat DO NOT immediately start playin with it. Wait about 4 or 5 minutes then start and it will prolong your knob slob.
Your Wellcum.

I think I am the worlds worst, and possibly loudest puker. I always avoid it as long as possible because once I start I get involuntary muscle actions that keep the puke coming until I am hurling up acid.
But on a slightly less annoying topic, the test ride on the cantilevered brakes revealed: (1) the cable splitter for the rear was loose, creating slack (it kept unwinding itself); (2) I think the set up is optimized for firm feel, less power; AND (3) the diagrams posted by Anon days ago are a bit confusing, but I take it I need to lower the straddle cable towards the tire, reducing the angle between the straddle cable and the dotted line between the brake pad contact area to the straddle cable hook up point; BUT (4) my bike didn't come with any imaginary dotted lines.

I suppose that leaves us to amuse (and enlighten ourselves)
1) Is scranus always a noun? Is it ever an adjective? "Nick Danger looked coldly at the scranus surface of the door, before carefully lifting the large, obsidian door knocker?"
2) The blog is called 'bikesnob nyc', but lately, he signs things as 'wildcat rock machine'...shoukld he rename the blog to avoid confusion? (or perhaps to increase confusion)...maybe the blog should be renamed with one of bab's pet names for him..snobberdoodle nyc?

I hate, loath vomiting. I'll wish you better health s.t.a.t! I dig that you posted a stock photo of what appears to be a bulimic ( I'm not being sexist, males can also be bulimic) purging over the loo[why didn't the stock photographer lift the seat up?]! Someone please Photoshop it to have bile dripping from their hand/fingers! Bulimics are just failed anorexics... *** This is coming from a former anorexic{40KG}, I knew well enough to never vomit, it wrecks your metabolism & teeth,skin faster than a Fred at whoo-hoo speed!
* You have to dig it all out before hand! [pun intended!] Then follow through with cleaning it out with water and gentle natural soap(e.g. 100% vegetable glycerin; Whole Foods Market sells their own brand 365 everyday value French Milled) Never use enemas, they ruin your PH balance in your rectum,you don't want to fuck that up! Plus enemas create a disruptions in your bowel movements, if they were healthy before- get ready for constipation or leaky bowels ! Enjoy anal!

I don't have time for the drama so I will show you whats in store if you like me."

I have never used clicky-clicky pedals and only briefly used toe clips, and that is because I'm not in a race or pretending to be in a race, and therefore the slight speed advantage thus obtained is most certainly not worth sacrificing easy stop/start (on short rides) or the integrity of my joints (on long rides) or the ability to walk properly (off the biek) or the extra cost, or the extra time/hassle of giving a shit about one more species of consumer product. In short they are dumb, for my purposes. So yep that's the end of that topic for me. Carry on. Oral or anal sex.

On my commutation bike, I have hermaphrodite "peddles", which they can be used with out without clickers. That way I can fred out or ride to the gym in gym shoes.
Someone please remind me what this has to do with anorectal sex or vomication.

Flats on mtb and commuter.
flats on the recumbent. (On my recumbent my feet stay on the pedals and don't want to slip off downward. I've heard that can be a problem on some bents.)
I have egg beaters right now on the road biek but I've been thinking of swapping them out for some flats.
Bike riding increases the libido.

I have a nice set of Ultegra road pedals but I really don't like them. I like lots of float. Lots of years riding the mtb with eggbeaters I guess.

Since I don't want to work I am going to start a list of topics SNOB should cover when he gets done tossing oats:
1. The indignities of nose puke
2. Bicycle maintenance tips from an uncertified semi-pro yard maintenance engineer
3. Pedaling and the art of Art
4. Best bike for commuting if your place of employment is a gravel quarry
5. Kickstarters for kickstands
6. Biblical meanings of gear ratios
7. Repurposing used chamois as formal dinner napkins
8. What to do with those leftover links from new chains
9. The mechanics of writing about mechanics
10. What does HTML really mean

anal? No, thanks (see other, better options)

Clipless on Ti Baby. All the way. I'm still waiting for Jimmy Choo to make a proper shoe for me - with a cleat embedded.
I rode without cleats for a lotta years, but it's like riding a horse. The pedal (or the stirrup) is always under the ball of your feet. It only gets just a teeeeeny bit complicated with platform heels...

I hate to interrupt the anal/oral sex debate and the relative merits of calling Ralph and Huey vs "Buick", but it was 78 Murican degrees today so I went for the full Fred after work.

what kind of pedals you use is the MacGuffin..a meaningless trope that runs through the narrative, about which we ostensibly speak until we digress to earthier subjects (much like bikesnobs daily post)
that said, I agree with bama phred that there's no hiding in a jersey...my early season rides in lycra are met by cries of 'Michelin Man' by my neighbors...but what really burns my ass is babs complaining about winter..the poor baby has to ride a lesser line of campy wheels to avoid salt damage to her golden prizes...it's galling that some canuck (Frenchwoman of the north if you will) is riding 30+ miles anytime she has a few spare hours while down in the Hudson Valley (America's river) we're iced in.

While Bunkey was still inside of me, he carried me off the bed to the floor so we could each stand up & he could ram his ten+XXL cock further up my rectum. We stayed in that stance for twenty minutes,when they pulled out & shot me a pearl necklace. We fucked in the early hours before my flight left & again after my cat-nap with the "I love you dream" to make me pine for him forever. I will remember the I love dream I had that early morning, the last times burns a void into my psyche.

The children had the years first Youth Triathlon Practice yesterday. I only saw one Inverted Christmas Fork in among 30 odd bikes. Not bad dad....not bad. There was an abnormal amount of the hot MILF moving around. As I sat on my tailgate a petite blonde with the biggest rack I have ever seen on a woman that small tries to glide by and say something funny/cool AND DROPS ALL OF HER KIDS STUFF INCLUDING THE $2000 BIKE. I got down and helped her gather it up.
She said, "What do you see wrong with this picture?" I said, "I don't see nothin' wrong with it."

Drivers lined up outside the Crosswalk Student Center at First Baptist Church of Hendersonville Thursday morning. They came from 12 school districts to pick up boxes of backpacks full of school supplies for homeless students.
Drivers lined up outside the Crosswalk Student Center at First Baptist Church of Hendersonville Thursday morning. They came from 12 school districts to pick up boxes of backpacks full of school supplies for homeless students.
They didn't have to wait long. A Feed the Children 18-wheeler pulled up, loaded down with backpacks from Tennessee.
"This is the first time Henderson County was asked to host the distribution site," Christine Craft said, as representatives from 12 school districts in WNC came to pick up boxes of backpacks. Craft is the Homeless Education Link Project case manager for Henderson County Public Schools.
Homelessness in schools isn't a new problem, but it's a growing problem.
"Our numbers have increased every single year," said Lisa Phillips, state coordinator for the North Carolina Homeless Education Program. In her four years on the job, the number has grown by 51 percent.
By the start of next school year, Phillips estimates there will be more than 28,000 students in the state's public school systems without a home.
In Henderson County, HELP counts 311 homeless students. Ten of those are dropouts. Of that number, 82 are known as "unaccompanied youth," or children who couch surf and aren't just homeless, but alone, with no parents in their lives.
Domestic violence is also an issue for some children. Of the 311, 20 of those kids are also subjected to domestic violence.
The people that showed up representing 12 different school districts in Western North Carolina were homeless liaisons at their respective schools. The boxes were filled to the brim with backpacks holding school supplies.
Feed the Children is a national nonprofit that helps homeless youth.
"They work with the states and provide them with a certain amount (of backpacks) based on the number of homeless children in a school year," Phillips said.
Other organizations came out on Thursday to help with the event. Members of Henderson County 4-H, First Baptist, Only Hope WNC, United Way, Kiwanis, the Housing Authority, Children and Family Resource Center and representatives from the school district helped load cars.

The ultimate cover album comes in tribute to our forefathers, the late, lamented, Dead Kennedys. 16 artists stone and assassinate these hardcore classics!
Featuring Faith No More, Neurosis, Victim's Family, Sister Double Happiness, Kramer, Sepultura, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, L7, Nomeansno, Napalm Death, Didjits, Evan Johns and His H-Bombs, Alice Donut, Steel Pole Bathtub, Les Thugs, and Mojo Nixon and the Toad Liquors!
Back in print!
"A ridiculously eclectic bunch pay tribute to Dead Kennedys. Faith No More, Neurosis, Sepultura, Nomeansno, Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, L7, and a host of AT artists cover classic Kennedys tracks in styles as diverse as grindcore, country and purely invented genres, with the now equally legendary Napalm Death cover of "Nazi Punks Fuck Off" one of the many highlights. May well be the best covers album of all time."- Rock-A-Rolla
"In 1992, Alternative Tentacles—the label co-founded by Dead Kennedys' Jello Biafra—decided to celebrate its 100th release with the largely in-house DK tribute Virus 100. Solipsism aside, the disc succeeds: Everyone from Neurosis and Napalm Death to Mojo Nixon and L7 contribute renditions of DK's manic, twangy, hardcore anthems. The approach ranges from faithful to hilariously skewed, though Virus 100's most infamous track is Disposable Heroes Of Hiphoprisy' grinding, funk-industrial version of "California Über Alles," which first appeared weeks earlier on the band's debut, Hypocrisy Is The Greatest Luxury. Even Faith No More's crooning piss-take of "Let's Lynch The Landlord" works, perhaps because Mike Patton reverse-engineered the treatment that Biafra previously gave Elvis' "Viva Las Vegas.""- The Onion
"Making a tribute album is a difficult task to undertake; there is always the risk of doing more harm than good to the legacy of a lengendary band. The main problem is that the covers either cannot live up to the originals, or that they sound virtually identical to the originals, making their creation pointless and boring to listen to. And while not all the songs on this self-appointed tribute from Alternative Tentacles live up to their masterpiece counterparts, it still ranks as easily one of the best tribute albums of all time. Why? Because it was done in a way only AT could have: By getting a variety of bands all playing the songs almost completely different from the originals. This works MOST of the time on this release, and that's enough to warrant a purchase for any Dead Kennedys or AT fan..."- punknews.org

A Navajo activist stopped at Fort Lewis College on Wednesday in an effort to publicize a little-known apology issued by the federal government to Native Americans.
Mark Charles hosted a public reading and talk about the 2010 Native American Apology Resolution, included in the 2010 Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
The reading at the FLC Native American Center Conference Room came as part of his effort to raise a national discussion and awareness of the apology.
Charles has been giving public presentations nationwide for the last eight months to raise awareness of the congressional apology and what he believes is an insufficient approach to reconciliation by the federal government.
I think our native elders deserve to know this has been given, and people deserve to hear about it, he said. Since our leaders arent doing it, Im going to do it.
The Native American Apology Resolution, in the appropriations act sponsored by former Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan., was put forward to acknowledge a long history of official depredations and ill-conceived policies by the Federal Government regarding Indian tribes and offer an apology to all Native Peoples on behalf of the United States.
The resolution officially apologizes on behalf of the people of the United States to all Native Peoples for the many instances of violence, maltreatment, and neglect inflicted on Native Peoples by citizens of the United States and offers a commitment to build on the positive relationships of the past and present to move toward a brighter future where all the people of this land live reconciled as brothers and sisters
Charles greatest concern is the resolution was signed with little fanfare by the government, leaving Native Americans mostly unaware of its existence. Charles said he did not know of the resolution until two years after the bills passage.
This speaks to me that the country is not ready to apologize for the treatment of Native People, he said.
Charles also called the language in the bill very general. It does not mention any specific tribes or instances of injustice by the federal government, he said.
Those in attendance agreed the bill did not do enough to compensate for the past mistreatment of Native Americans.
What really bothers me is that they thanked us for the years we have stewarded the land. This is our land. We have more of a connection to it than just being stewards, said Renassa Lee, a junior at FLC and a member of the Jicarilla Apache Tribe.
The speech comes two weeks before a planned reading and discussion of the resolution Dec. 19 by Charles and other Native Americans in front of the Capitol in Washington, D.C.
Through his presentations and readings, Charles says he hopes to raise awareness of the resolution and offer a new national dialogue about reconciliation.
I am trying to move the conversation of reconciliation forward with our country, he said.

"This is an important ruling and is testament to the fact that the authority is committed to delivering the high-speed rail project in accordance with the law and in partnership with the public," said Jeff Morales, CHSRA CEO. "We continue to move forward to start construction this summer and create thousands of jobs in California."
The town of Atherton had argued CHSRA did not comply with the requirements of CEQA, but the court rejected that argument, noting the project could proceed through a phased implementation approach or through a blended system in the Caltrain corridor.
The court also said that CHSRA did an adequate job of engaging the public in the environmental review process.
"Respondent adequately disclosed to the public how the project would be implemented and described in adequate detail what the environmental consequences of such implementation would be," the court said.
Since the beginning of the year, two other CEQA lawsuits brought against CHSRA have been settled.

Telstra will cut hundreds of jobs from its ailing Yellow Pages Sensis business, just two weeks after the telco posted a record half-yearly results of $1.6 billion.
Sensis managing director John Allan said in a statement late this morning that a total of 648 jobs would be cut as part of a proposed restructure to the company's operations and business model.
Mr Allan added that none of the decisions were taken lightly, but were part of the company's digital transition.
"Until now we have been operating with an outdated print-based model – this is no longer sustainable for us," Mr Allan said.
"As we have made clear in the past, we will continue to produce Yellow and WhitePages books to meet the needs of customers and advertisers who rely on the printed directories, but our future is online and mobile where the vast majority of search and directory business takes place."
Cuts and offshoring
The restructure would see job losses for about 391 back-room and customer service staff, and some roles outsourced, Sensis said. The company employs a total of 3500 staff.
A new digital customer management centre would also be set up, with 50 new jobs created.
Mr Allan said the changes would accelerate his company's shift towards future digital growth.
'Bombshell on staff'
Prime Minister Julia Gillard described Telstra's decision as ''dreadful news''.
''Really dreadful news particularly for the staff members who are hearing that today. It's always incredibly tough when someone loses a job,'' Ms Gillard told Adelaide's 5AA.
The Community and Public Sector Union criticised the decision, saying it was "extremely disappointing".
''The union condemns the dropping of this bombshell on staff,'' CPSU national president Michael Tull said. ''We've been asking the company for information in the last six months about the future direction and no one has been forthcoming.
"Sensis staff have been crushed by the scale of these cuts for a company that is part of Telstra which earlier this month posted record half year profits of $1.6 billion," Mr Tull added.
Sensis struggles
The company's struggling Sensis business has been under pressure in the recent years as demand for print advertising slumps. Income from Sensis fell by 12.5 per cent, according to Telstra's half-yearly results.
At a media briefing two weeks ago, the Telstra chief executive David Thodey said Sensis would continue to be restructured as it moves ''from a print to a digital business''.
Sensis appointed digital media executive Jeremy Birt as its new executive general manager on January 30, with a brief to oversee the company's print and digital operations.
The company also acquired True Local in January and indicated the online directory would be added to its Yellow Pages network. The deal was subject to ratification by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission.
