Chapter 4; the plan

Disclaimer- You know. i don't own it.

Arisia woke up to a silent room. Vegta still slept in her arms. " He must have been more traumatized then i thought." She pulled the blankets off of herself and tucked them around vegeta.

'i have to find a way out of here with vegeta. if i leave him here alone he'll kill him. That's it i've got to go back to vegeta-sae'

She got dressed in a tight black body suit with the saiyan symbol over her heart. She pulled on tight white leather boots with a steel toe that went up to the knee and white gloves with cut fingers that went up to the elbow. She put a choker on that had the saiyan symbol hanging from it. ( For those that don't know the saiyan symbol is like an anchor on top of a stack of 2 ovals and below that the bottom of an anchor. and i'm not kidding that's akiras work.)

She walked down the hall to find herself in front of radditz room. "Radditz."

" Yes my queen?"

" Change of plans, i need you to watch over the prince very carefully. Don't let him out o f your sight for a moment, especially if Friezas there!!!"

" Yes my queen but why are you being so couscous?"

" I've got my reasons. I've got to talk to the king. If Rieza even comes near prince Vegeta feel free to kill him!" She stormed off to the launch deck.

Radittz stood behind wide eyed. " What?" He ran off to her room to watch Vegeta. ' if she said it was important enough to disturb the king, it must be important.'

Arisia continued her journey to the launch deck. 'the only choice i have is to tell them. I have to or he'll kill both of us anyway!' she tried convincing herself she was doing what was best for her son.

She came to the launch deck only to be stopped by guards.

"Stop right there. you're not authorized to leave this ship."

" I'm going back now get out of my way!" She pushed through the two brutly guards. behind them stood way to many for her to fight.

" Surrender monkey you can't beat us all."

" I told you, get out of my way, i'm going back!!" Her hand came forward firing a purple blast. She ran straight through them knocking them from side to side

They quickly regrouped and tackled her, piling on top of her to keep her from leaving. "I told ou to move!!" Rage consumed her whole. she powered up knocking them all to the side.

She got up and ran once more now covered in blood from the scratches she'd received. " Damn bastards." She said as she launched off.

' i'll tell the king what he's done and then we'll rid ourselves of him once and for all!' all she could think about was revenge for what he did to her ad her son.

She saw flash back play over and over in her minds eye.

Arisia was sitting in the delivery room with tiny vegeta in her arms. He was very tired and fused only slightly as she sang to him. " Ki mi ro, ki mi ro, i ishi day do, koko doo dayku ta day day do. ki mi ro ki mi ro she eshe day do.

She stroked his long tail that wrapped around his body to comfort him. she had several pregnancies; the first 3 females the next a male; all miscarriages, except the first. She was forced to give her up because she was not a male heir.

" Finally i've done it." She pulled out his tiny hand and allowed him to wraped his hand around her finger. She rewrapped him and the vision started to fade into another.

the visions were now of when he would call her to the throne room just to hit her or rape her.

But the worst ones were of when he would dig his nails into her son giving him large scars.

She could still hear his screams; from the time he was an infant being scared for life or now as the tyrant would beat and rape him.

" There will be a war and we will win." She said to the darkness.

Pretty good huh? R&R Ouji please write to me

New story…I'm just teeming with ideas. LOL. Anyhow, I'm just going with this story off the cuff to see where it goes in the first chapter. If it's good, I'll continue it. If not, we'll have to see. I'm delving back into the realm of vampires. But, Bella's the vamp this time. Without further ado…

Chapter Four

I walked out of Edward's bathroom and saw him putting dinner on the table. I could play the upset stomach card and try and get out of eating his food. But that would be rude. I just pray that there is no cream cheese. I may hurl.

"Everything okay, angel?" Edward asked as he saw me in the hallway.

"I'm good," I smiled. "What's for dinner?"

"Roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans," he replied. "Based on your reaction with the cream cheese this morning, it seemed like a safe bet. It's my mom's secret recipe."

"I'm certain that it's delicious," I said as I sat down in the chair that Edward pulled out for me. He sat down next to me and served me with chicken, a small serving of mashed potatoes and green beans. I picked up the knife and fork and cut into the chicken. I kept my face impassive as I put the chicken into my mouth. Ugh. Tastes like greasy ash.

"How is it?" Edward asked.

"Very good. Tender," I answered, popping in another bite. This is not going to be pleasant to regurgitate.

"Bella, didn't you say that there was something that you needed to tell me?" Edward asked as he shoveled down his dinner.

"It's not important," I said.

"You're not sick, are you? You're so pale and skin is so cold," he frowned.

"It's a circulation disorder. I'm fine," I said as I patted his arm. "I've had it all my life but I've got it under control. I'm not going anywhere any time soon."

"Okay, good," he sighed. "I've had too many people in my life…shit, never mind."

"Too many people in my life have been taken from me and I don't want to lose someone else that I lo…care for," he said, blushing deeply. Moron! You almost said that you loved her! You've known her for two days, Masen. Can you be more an idiot? I bit my lip to not laugh at his inner-musings. He blushed a deeper crimson, filling my nose with his scent. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists underneath the table. To distract myself from his delectable scent, I forced some of mashed potatoes and green beans down my throat. They tasted worse than the damn chicken. Healthy ash. Blech.

"Edward, I may be pale and cold, but I'm perfectly healthy. Very strong immune system. It's been years since I've been sick," I said. Approximately fifty years. "You're stuck with me as long as you'll have me."

How about forever? "Good," Edward said with a relieved crooked grin. "Are you done?"

"I am," I said as I handed him my plate that was nearly empty. "It was wonderful, Edward. You're a talented cook."

"I'm okay. I can read a recipe," he chuckled. "Ask me to make something up? It ain't happening. Do you want some coffee?"

"No, I'm fine," I answered. "I'm going to use the restroom, okay?"

He nodded and he carried our plates to the sink. I scuttled to the bathroom and removed my contact lenses. I blinked a few times, enjoying the moments where my vision was not blocked. However, when I saw my reflection, I scowled. I hated my red eyes. I hated what I was. Even though I killed evil men and women, I still killed. "There's got to be a different way." Shaking my head, I popped in my contact lenses and made a mental note to research alternative diets for vampires when I got home.

When I was finished in the bathroom, I noticed that the dishes were cleared and Edward was sitting on the couch. He had his glass of wine along with mine on the cocktail table. "Want to watch a movie?"

"Sure," I said as I sat down on his couch, slipping my shoes off my feet. "What movie?"

"I'm thinking humor. With all of the drama with Emmett, I need to laugh. Bridesmaids is a favorite of my mom's," Edward said, his green eyes twinkling. He turned on the television and dimmed the lights. I curled around a pillow and watched the movie begin. "I don't bite, Bella."

"What?" I asked, arching a brow.

"You're so far away," he said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and dragging me closer to him. "Part of the fun of watching a movie is the cuddling."

"Really?" I smirked.

"Yep. Now, get comfy. I've been told that I'm a pretty good pillow, angel," he said as he held me to his chest. I pressed my ear to his chest, right above his heart. It was steady and strong, thrumming his blood through his body. I sighed quietly, nuzzling closer in his embrace. I didn't pay attention to the movie but to Edward. Since spending time with him, I had become desensitized from his mouth-watering scent. His heartbeat was my beacon in my dark existence.

Once the movie was over, Edward gazed down at me and caressed my cheek. I smiled softly at his tender touch. "Do you know how beautiful you are?" he murmured.

If I could blush, I would have. I, instead, ducked my head and laughed nervously. "Thank you," I whispered. "You're beautiful too, Edward."

"God, I'm an ogre compared to you," he snorted. "But, thank you, angel." His ears pinked up and he lowered his eyes. His lashes brushed his cheeks and he looked so forlorn. I sat up. I cupped his cheek, feeling the warmth of his skin permeate to my very center of my being. With a shuddering breath, he looked up at me. Once our eyes linked, something triggered in us and it was like magnets. We were drawn together. My lips met his in a soft kiss. Bella. My Bella, his mind pleaded.

The electricity that surrounded us was all encompassing. Edward's arms tightened around me. Had I been human, he would have squeezed me too tightly, but it felt perfect on my diamond hard skin. His tongue traced my lips as our mouths battled each other. I opened my mouth and slid my own tongue into his hot mouth. He couldn't put tongue in mine since my teeth were razor sharp. Plus, I didn't want to bite down and cause him to change. Yet.

Focus, Bella. You can't kiss him without keeping your full attention him. One false move and he's dead meat. I can crush his head with a snap of my fingers.

I pulled away as I felt my body lose control. We both were breathing heavily. Edward, out of necessity. Me, out of sheer excitement. "I'm sorry," I panted out.

"Bella, don't apologize," he said as he took my face in his hands, leaning his forehead against mine. "If you hadn't pulled away, I would have. I don't want you to think that I'm just trying to get you into bed. But, when I kiss you, I lose all of my…it's like the world falls away and it's just us, angel. You've bewitched me, Bella. And I wouldn't want it any other way."

"Me neither, Edward. For the first time in a long time, I'm happy," I said as stared into his evergreen eyes. "I care for you so much. I know it's fast, but…it's how I feel. I would do anything to protect you." And I will, Edward. We are bonded together.

"Isn't it the other way around? Shouldn't I protect you?" he laughed.

"You can try," I said with a wicked grin. "But, I can be pretty bad ass."

"Sure, angel," he said as he gathered me in his arms. The tone in his voice indicated that he really didn't believe me. I'll let him carry that thought until absolutely necessary. I just prayed that Edward would not have to see me as the vile predator I am.

We stayed huddled into each other's arms until Edward began nodding off. I all but pushed him to go to bed. He begged me to stay, but I was out of contact lenses. The ones I had in were going to be gone in moments and for certain I'd freak him out with my red eyes. Like the gentleman he is, Edward walked me out to my car and kissed me softly until I got weak in the knees. I was amazed how this human could make me so vulnerable but at the same time so strong. With him near me, I could do anything.

I pulled away from Edward's townhouse and my chest started constricting. Looking out my rearview mirror, I saw that Edward's hand went to his heart as he leaned heavily against his mailbox. I wanted to turn around and scoop him into my arms, keep him forever but I needed to go back to my condo. I needed more contact lenses. Or something to permanently change my eye color to not be red. Once I was out of Edward's subdivision and on the highway, I turned off my lights and floored it home.

I headed up to my condo and changed into some comfortable clothes. Before doing some research on alternative food sources, I decided to check my email. You never know…

I had the usual spam and junk in my email box. But one message caught my eye. It was from an Alice Cullen. Do I know an Alice Cullen? Is she a vampire? After running a virus scan of her message, I opened it up.

To: Isabella M. Swan
From: Alice Cullen
Re: Alternative Food Sources and Friendship?

Dear Isabella,

Or should I call you Bella? *Snorts* My name is Mary Alice Brandon Cullen. And before you freak out. Yes, I'm a vampire. You can check out my profile on the Volturi database. I'm like you and keep up to date with the census. Anyhow, you are looking for alternative food sources other than humans, correct?

I believe that me and my family can offer you some help. We live off the blood of animals. Deer, elk, moose, bears, mountain lions and any other indigenous wildlife. It's a more human-friendly option for vampires. It also allows us to create true relationships with members of our coven. Or as I mentioned before, my family.

Now, I'm guessing that you're probably curious as to how I knew that you wanted to change your eating habits? That's simple. I can see the future. *I'm awesome like that. My mate, Jasper, thinks it's so cool that I can see the future before it even happens.* I also can see that we will become great friends.

Changing your eating habits will be challenging. But, you and your own mate will benefit from your decision. *The handsome, bronze-haired God? Damn, girl! He's a hottie and a half…If I wasn't mated to Jazzy, I'd go after him.* If you feed often from the food sources in Michigan, Wisconsin and Northern Minnesota, you'll be sated. The taste will be more akin to what you ate for dinner tonight, but hot and it's, well, blood. Your outward appearance will also change. Mainly in your eyes. *No more contacts!* Your irises will change from a bright crimson to a deep ochre. It's a more 'human' shade of eye color than bright red, right?

Lastly, I do have some bad news for you. Your mate's friend, Emmett? He is changing as I type this. He's roughly halfway through it and Victoria will use him to hurt your mate. Edward, right? I know that it's a challenge to be close to Edward since he's your singer but you need to keep him close. Especially in the next three days. It'll be cloudy the next few days so you can 'stalk' him without sparkling like a damn disco ball. *I personally love that about being a vampire, but it is frustrating when you have places to go and people to protect. ARGH!*

Anyhow, I'm going to let you go. Feel free to call me anytime. Or email. Or hell, swing by Washington State if you're bored. Just kidding. I'd love to hear from you. And please, keep me apprised as to what happens with Emmett and Edward. The future is foggy as the result and I hope it's a positive outcome.

Alice Cullen

In signature, she included her phone number and two other numbers as well. I added them to my cell phone and turned to the Volturi database for her information.

Name: Mary Alice Brandon Cullen
Birthdate: Unknown
Vampire Birthdate: Unknown
Nationality: American
Sire: Unknown
Power: Ability to see the decided future
Current Location: Forks, Washington
Coven: Cullen Coven

Alice is one of the youngest members of the Cullen Coven which currently resides in Forks, Washington. She is mated to Jasper Whitlock who was turned in 1865 at the end of the Civil War in the United States and the beginning of the Southern Wars (sire is Maria Gonzalez). His power is empathic in nature. He can manipulate human and vampire emotions. The Cullens are what we classify as vegetarians. They feed on the blood of animals. The say that it allows them to bond with the members of the clan and with the neighboring humans.

The leader of the Cullen Coven is Carlisle Cullen who is a doctor. He was changed in the late 1600s during a vampire raid in his native England. His mate is Esme Cullen and she was changed by Carlisle in the mid twenties after breaking her back because she jumped off a cliff. She had recently lost her child. Rosalie Cullen was the next to join the clan after she was attacked in New York City. None of these vampires have extra abilities like Alice or her mate, Jasper.

If you are interested in adopting the vegetarian lifestyle, feel free to contact any of the Cullen Coven for further details.

At least Alice's profile had more information than Victoria's. I jotted down Carlisle's email address along with Jasper's as well. I was curious if this Jasper was the same as my Jasper. My sire. I think? He never said his last name. He just called himself Jasper.

I hadn't noticed that the sun had come up and I was shimmering like a drag queen in a sequined dress. I scowled as I hit the button to lower my shades in my condo. The clouds were low and I knew it was going to be a cloudy day. I was going to use that to my advantage and search for Emmett and Victoria. But, I wanted to get help from Alice.

I dialed her number and even before I held the phone to my ear, her tinkling voice rang through the tinny speaker of my phone. "Hello, Bella," she giggled.

"How did you know it was me?" I squeaked.

"I see the future, silly," she said. "I knew you were going to call me. And to answer your question, my Jazzy is your Jasper. He'd like to say hello."

I heard a faint rustling and Jasper's smooth drawl piped through my phone, "Hello, Bella. How are you?" he asked.

"I'm good," I answered. "How are you, Jasper?"

"So much better now that I have my Alice," he said, the smile in his voice evident. "She brought me to the light, darlin. And based off what she was yammering on all night, she's doing the same for you."

"Jasper, I never knew you were an empath," I said quietly.

"That's because I never told you, Bella. I tried to mask my gift but it was amplified by your sadness. As much as I wanted to stay with you and have you be with me, it was too much. I was happy when you left me after you controlled your bloodlust. Shortly after you wandered off on your own, I found my Alice. She was so bubbly and happy."

"I'm sorry that I hurt you, Jasper," I said sadly.

"You never hurt me, Bella," he chuckled. I growled. "Okay, just a bit when you first woke up, but your emotions were all over the place. Now, the main emotion I feel from you is loneliness."

"You can feel it through the phone?"

"Yes. But, Alice is bouncing like a jack rabbit squealing in gibberish. I think she's saying that you won't be lonely anymore but I don't speak gibberish," he chuckled. "Here's Ali."

"Bella, you won't be alone anymore," she tumbled out. "I see it. I see you joining our family along with your friend, Emmett and your mate, Edward."

"So, he is my mate?" I asked.

"Unequivocally. You're the closest you can be to being soul mates, Bella. Do you feel pain when you're not near him?" Alice asked. Her questioned deepened the ache in my chest. I moaned quietly, rubbing between my breasts. "I'll take that as a yes. He's probably feeling it too."

"But he's human, Alice," I whispered.

"Not for long," she whispered back. "Bella, I'm not going to divulge too much, but there will come a time where you will need to make a life or death decision regarding Edward. Change him or let him die."

"Alice, I can't change him. Take him away from his family," I cried as venom tears fell onto my cheeks.

"Would you rather he die?" Alice asked simply. I gasped and my dead heart fell to my toes. The pain amplified and I felt the room cave in around me. "That answers my question as well. Bella, he already suspects. And your true identity will be revealed to him soon. He will beg for you to change him. He cannot bear to be away from you and will choose being a vampire over his family so he can be with you. He loves you, sweetie. So much."

"I've heard his mind say it over and over again," I murmured. "I love him, too. But, how will he react to my being a vampire, Alice?"

"He'll be shocked because the manner in which you are revealed will be quite dramatic. His feelings will only become more amplified when he sees your true self. Not Bella, the vampire posing as a human. But Bella, the vampire."

"He won't be afraid?"

"Oh, he'll be afraid but his love for you will overcome that fear," Alice explained quietly. "It will also be your protection that will guide his love."

"Thank you, Alice," I said.

"Now, Jasper, Carlisle and I are planning on flying out to Chicago in a few days. Do you have any property away from a large population?"

"I have a cabin in the upper peninsula of Michigan," I answered.

"You may want to open that up, Bella. We're going to need it."

"Because, you're going to help Emmett there so he can learn the ways of being a vegetarian. You can control minds, correct?"

"Yes," I said, arching my brow.

"You will need to control Emmett when he attacks. We will be there too, hopefully. The timing will be tight, though. Anyhow, I'll let you go. Check in Wisconsin for Victoria and Emmett. There's a cabin in northern Wisconsin, near Eagle River, that may be where she's hiding him. Do not attack. Okay?"

"Why should I not attack?" I asked.

"You'll lose and will die," Alice said sadly. "I want to meet my newest sister. Call me any time!"

"Bye, Alice," I said, smiling at my new friend. I actually had a friend…

"Not a friend. You're my sister," Alice giggled before the call ended. I shook my head as my grin widened. Sister. Using Alice's clues, I discovered that Victoria had a cabin in northern Wisconsin, just outside of Eagle River. Or at least, a cabin under one of her known pseudonyms. By car, it was roughly a six hour drive up to Eagle River. I could run up there in four. Nodding, I changed into some clothes that would hide me in the underbrush and forests of Wisconsin. I'd drive to Green Bay and run the rest of the way.

I sent a quick text to Edward, saying that I had a number of errands to run today. I'd be unavailable by phone until this evening. He was obviously sad but made me promise to call him tonight once my errands were done. I responded with my own signature of x's and o's. He one-upped me, of course. I chuckled as I backed out my blue Aston Martin from my spot. Once I hit open highway, I floored it to Green Bay. Land of the Cheese Heads. In Green Bay, I hid my car in an abandoned campground before running up to Eagle River, with my cell phone and ID inside.

Eagle River is a small, touristy town on the chain of lakes that were interconnected. It was the beginning of the tourist season and families were heading up there for vacations and camping trips. If Emmett was unleashed up here, his presence will be known and most assuredly the Volturi will intervene. He will be disposed of.

I opened my mind to listen for Emmett or Victoria. I did catch a faint whiff of her sickly, sweet scent so I knew I was close. I darted to the location of where her cabin was located. It was about five miles north of Eagle River, far from the population and any kind of civilization. The screams were deafening, both mental and verbal. For certain, Emmett was here and he was changing.

It's burning. God, I'm going to die. Please! Let me die! His mind repeated over and over again.

I sniffed the air and found that Victoria hadn't been here for quite some time. But, my presence may change that. I just needed to check on Emmett. Ensure that she had just changed him and not maimed him in anyway.

I opened the door and was hit with Emmett's morphing scent. He was still pumping blood as his heart was working overtime but the venom was spreading through his system, changing his smell. Before, it was musky and bitter. Now, it had changed into something completely different. The musky scent was still there but now the bitterness was replaced with a sweet, candy-like smell. This was probably due to Victoria's venom coursing through his body.

I knew it was a long shot, but I had to implant something into Emmett's head. His brain had already been effected by the venom and was fully aware of his surroundings and unfortunately, the agonizing pain. Emmett, listen to me. You must not harm Edward. He's your friend. Your best friend. If you hurt him, you'll never forgive yourself. Get away from Victoria.

"NO! She's my maker," Emmett snarled, his changing eyes linking with mine.

I narrowed my eyes and focused my thoughts to him. She is a monster, Emmett. She killed you. Took you away from your family. Get. Away. From. Her. Find me. I'll protect you, Emmett. Teach you our ways.

He whimpered and buried his hands into his hair. His brain was torn. I recognized me and viewed me as someone safe. However, his loyalty was to Victoria since she created him with her venom. It's an odd bond that some vampires acquire with their sire. I never had it since I never knew who my sire was.

"Please, Emmett," I whispered. "For Edward…"

He snapped at me, glaring at me with wild, feral eyes. I hated to do this but I shocked his system with a mental jolt as I backed away. He was too far gone for me to reach. At least now. He was too connected with Victoria and his pain from his change was too much. However, he was intact. He wasn't maimed. Actually, his form was quite beautiful as a vampire. His muscles were huge and I could only imagine what he could do with his strength. He would need to hone his skills, though.

I was broken of my reverie by the mind of Victoria. That bitch, Marie, is here. She's going to take my plaything away. Fucking wench. She's going to die. I'll dance on her ashes.

"Emmett, I need to go," I murmured. Do not harm Edward. With a brush of my fingers through his hair, I ran out the back way and swooped around the property. Victoria was trailing me until I reached one of the lakes. I dove in and settled down in the center of the lake to wait her out. Her mental screams were loud in my brain but she eventually gave up and left me in my watery prison. I made the decision to swim in the lakes until I got to the southern-most point. I slipped out of the water and took off toward Green Bay.

As I was running, I stopped and opened my mind and nostrils. May as well try this new diet. See what it's all about. I listened for signs of life that weren't human. I was in the middle of a forest, I couldn't hear any human thought or voice. I did hear a faint pulsing to the east. Following the sound, I glided through the lush forest. After a few miles, I found two deer drinking from a small creek. Venom pooled in my mouth but it wasn't as mouthwatering as a human. At least I knew I could get a reaction from the animals.

I sighed and darted toward the deer. One took off while the other stood there, like a deer in headlights. God, I'm stupid. Wrapping my arms around the poor animal, I sunk my teeth into its hide. Warm, earthy and musky blood filled my mout and into my body. It was not an unpleasant flavor, but not all that appetizing, either.

"Now, I know what they mean about being 'vegetarian,'" I spat as I tossed the carcass onto the forest floor. "It sates you but leaves wanting more. I'll have to feed more often." I shrugged and left my meal on the ground to rot while I ran back to my car. I desperately wanted to get back to Edward. My presence in Victoria's cabin probably intensified her hatred of me and her need to kill my mate.

And that ain't going to happen.

A/N: And we meet Alice and Jasper. In case haven't figured it out, Jasper is NOT Bella's sire. He was just the one who found her while she was changing. Her sire will be revealed as the story continues. But, I guess that most of you can figure it out on your own. Anyhow, up next will be Emmett's return, Bella's reveal and more of the Cullens. Picture teasers are on my blog of Victoria's cabin along with Bella's home in the UP of Michigan. Last but not least, check out my facebook page. Link is in my profile…Leave me some!

Quality construction is fundamental to meeting the FHWA's stewardship responsibilities. The achievement of the Agency's national objectives is dependent on highway improvements being constructed to a desired level of quality in order to ensure they perform as intended. Quality construction improves system performance, enhances safety by minimizing work zone frequency and duration, and improves the efficiency of our highway investments.

Title 23, Code of Federal Regulations, Part 637B "Quality Assurance Procedures for Construction" (23 CFR 637B) provides the regulatory requirements put in place to support the FHWA policy as it relates to quality assurance (QA). The overall intent of the QA program is to provide adequate assurance that the public is receiving the desired quality in the products produced by the contractor. The subject Technical Advisory (TA) was created to provide additional clarification of the requirements included in 23 CFR 637B and provide recommended guidance to field personnel.

The focus of this TA is to highlight the proper use and validation of contractor performed sampling and testing with agency verification sampling and testing. In addition, this TA provides useful information and recommendations on contractor/agency risks that need to be addressed when developing an acceptance program. The TA is intended to provide guidance for development of future QA plans and is a valuable tool for State DOT and FHWA field engineers to use in monitoring and ensuring construction quality.

The implementation of statistically sound acceptance plans, understanding of statistics, percent within limits, and contractor/agency risks associated with these plans is a long range goal and will require extensive training. In support of these efforts and to further the understanding of risks associated with QA specifications and increase the implementation of statistically sound acceptance procedures, FHWA is in the process of implementing initiatives to educate specification developers and users. Currently, a number of items are being developed to educate and provide training through workshops, courses and software development.

The FHWA is creating a one-day workshop to provide the participants valuable information on the TA and the upcoming revised AASHTO R-9 recommended practice. The workshop will provide participants an introduction to risk and overview steps on how to conduct a risk analysis of proposed acceptance sampling plans. The intent of the workshop is to expose participants to key fundamental steps and procedures in developing acceptance sampling plans. The one-day workshop is scheduled for delivery in the spring of 2005.

A one-week National Highway Institute (NHI) course is also currently being developed to provide more in depth training on statistically sound QA specifications and risk analysis through the use of concurrently developed software under separate contract. The software tool is being developed to help analyze risks, create and plot operating characteristic and expected payment curves, and simulate acceptance plans based on sample size and payment provision decisions. The NHI course and software are scheduled for delivery in early 2006.

I encourage you to share this TA with your staff and State DOT counterparts involved in quality assurance program applications. The TA will soon be available on the FHWA Directives and Policy Memorandums web page located at https://www.fhwa.dot.gov/legsregs/directives/.

Please contact Mr. Matthew Corrigan at 202-366-1549 for additional information about this TA and the workshop. Other members of the Office of Infrastructure's team that may be contacted for information on quality assurance products are Mr. Michael Rafalowski at 202-366-1571 or Mr. Ken Jacoby at 202-366-6503.

Bio Photo I began searching for Maiden names of Women in the Family. Years of off and on research made some exciting finds.Names lost of Grandparents Mothers etc on the male side and also on the female side. Names never to be known unless uncovered.Thanks to the new Family I have found and their sharing of the wonderful Price history of our relatives. Thanks to the Journey To Cape Fear By Michael Price (A wonderful work),if not for EEPrice,I would not have the book..so a special thanks to you.South Carolina Price Family,The Price-Collins Family, I say a big thanks to all the help. A special thanks for the help of the Bethel Baptist Church,a cousin there, in MS that led me to a path of My GG Grandfather. All I have to say about the wonderful and exciting lives in my history is WOW. Very impressive for those that grabbed the brass ring and ran with it.Before(2012) I knew nothing of my Paternal side of the lost Family.

RE: Henretta Barret Dickson
I'm sorry I can't help on that. I found the record of her marriage to Christopher W. Dickson on 7 Dec 1946 in Tipton County, Tennessee. It's reasonable to assume (though far from certain) that Henretta was living with her family in Tipton County at the time of her marriage. Unfortunately, no other family names are on the marriage record. Unfortunately, as you probably know, the 1840 census does not list names of anybody but the head of the family. If this were one of my Tipton County families I would follow the Dickson's through the 1850 and subsequent census records in the hope that at some point in the future either Henretta's mother or father (or both) ends up living with Henretta in their old age.
Best of luck,

Thank you for the help with this memorial. I went back to the obituary and tried to find death certificates for the surviving brothers and sisters. I was able to find one for William Henry (Billie) Smith. His parents are listed as John Smith and Elizabeth Moore. His memorial linked to his mother Elizabeth. Also linked to Elizabeth is Caroline McAlister, also listed as a survivor.

What is your dance experience?  One time in middle school I split my pants trying to do the limbo.  I've never gone roller-skating again.

Why are you doing this event?  I spent a lot of time in Children's Hospital as a child battling childhood epilepsy.  I am passionate about children being both healthy and able to chase their dreams.

Also, while singing Lady Gaga songs in my car at full volume, I decided I needed to pair dynamic dance moves with skillful vocals if I was ever going to make it on Broadway.

Why should people vote for you?  Frankly, they probably should not as they will never be able to unsee this performance.

Anything else you would like to add?  I may not have dance moves like Miley, but I do have her haircut.  Game on.

Clone eBioSY11B5 (SY11B5)

The eBioSY11B5 monoclonal antibody recognizes human CD157 (Mo5, BST-1). CD157 is a 42-45 kDa, GPI-anchored protein with structural and functional similarities with CD38. CD157 was initially cloned because of its expression on monocytes and macrophages, and was subsequently discovered to be the same protein named BST-1, discovered for its expression on bone marrow stromal cells and its ability to stimulate the proliferation of a mouse pre-B cell line. CD157 is a pleiotropic ectoenzyme and is thought to act independently as an enzyme and receptor. Similar to CD38, CD157 is involved in the metabolism of NAD+ and this activity may be involved in regulating intracellular Ca2+ levels. As a receptor, upon binding of its putative ligand, CD157 is thought to initiate a signal transduction cascade resulting in the phosphorylation of cytoplasmic proteins including focal adhesion kinase (FAK). The mechanism and functional significance of CD157-initiated signal transduction remain to be fully characterized.

Medical Equipment Providers: Speeding Time to Market and Building Revenue Streams with Embedded Software

More than ever, embedded software is playing a central role in intelligent device manufacturers’ go-to-market strategies. This trend is especially apparent in markets such as telecom, test and measurement, healthcare, and industrial automation – where manufacturers are under increasing pressure to innovate, rapidly enter new markets, control costs, maximize incremental revenue from existing customers, and deliver a competitively differentiated customer experience.

As embedded software has become more integral to their business, more and more manufacturers are discovering the power of software licensing. With licensing, manufacturers can turn device features and/or capacity on and off as appropriate. This allows them to charge customers for the capabilities they want, while not charging them for capabilities they don’t want. Specifically, licensing enables medical equipment providers to more effectively use embedded software as a means of managing and monetizing the features and functionality they provide in their devices.

By adopting the right licensing models, medical equipment providers can:

  • Produce different products on the same hardware chassis. This drives down costs by eliminating the need for additional production lines and minimizing the number of SKUs that have to be kept in inventory.
  • Create innovative products on existing hardware chassis. This reduces the cost and time it takes to bring differentiated products to new or existing markets.
  • Up-sell existing customers by simply activating additional device capabilities or capacity. This makes it easier to capitalize on incremental revenue opportunities.
  • Meet evolving customer needs without requiring them to swap out hardware or otherwise disrupt their operations. This makes for a more positive ongoing customer experience

These examples highlight why software licensing is such a compelling best practice for intelligent device manufacturers.

In fact, in today’s highly competitive and fast-moving markets, the skill with which manufacturers structure the licensing of their embedded software – and the diligence with which they manage their customers’ entitlements – may well turn out to be what separates market leaders from other players. Today, manufacturers are applying software-based licensing principles to manage a wide range of functions in hardware ranging from medical devices and location intelligence equipment, to devices used in telecommunications, supply chain automation, automobiles, test and measurement, and storage management.

This whitepaper outlines key trends and opportunities influencing medical equipment providers today, and how Flexera Software FlexNet® Producer Suite for Intelligent Device Manufacturers can help these companies to fundamentally improve their business. In addition, the whitepaper illustrates the power of licensing-based solutions with a customer implementation scenario.

Trends and Opportunities in the Medical Equipment Arena

At a macro level, a convergence of business issues is driving the software-based differentiation of medical equipment – all of which can be capitalized upon with embedded software licensing solutions:

  • Changing economics of intelligent device manufacturing: The global market for medical equipment is large and growing, attracting new entrants and putting timeto-market pressure on all participants. This fact has driven the rise of standards-based hardware and core operating system software, which has in turn allowed medical equipment providers to gain economies of scale. Medical manufacturers are increasingly buying versus building, core subsystems and system software. As a result, their role is evolving to more of an integrator, and less of a manufacturer. Solution providers seek better ways to differentiate themselves; software is a key means to creating competitive advantage and driving incremental revenue.
  • Growing revenue contribution from software: As a corollary to the commoditization of hardware, many medical equipment providers are focusing more resources on software development. As such, software enables new revenue sources and provides a way to deliver a superior, differentiated customer experience.
  • Software-enabled supply chain transformation: With the underlying hardware becoming more powerful and at the same time commoditized, medical manufacturers can now build fewer base configurations and deliver more functions. Product capabilities, capacity, versions and price points can be created and modified based on functions that can be turned on and off by licensing of the embedded software. This dramatically streamlines the supply chain and manufacturing processes, as well as lowering inventory carrying costs.

    The challenge for the medical equipment provider is to determine how to limit access to certain functions of software, without changing the configuration or SKU of the product. Achieving this goal also streamlines securing approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on equipment modifications. Licensing-based approaches allow medical equipment providers to enter new markets with a full-function device, and then, as FDA approval is gained on software changes, create lower or higher price points with the same device by enabling new software functions.
  • Brand and revenue erosion from grey market abuse: As underlying device configurations become more standardized, grey market theft can be perpetrated more easily. For example, demonstration models of products increasingly find their way into the grey market via channels for selling used equipment. These devices are running improper software and typically do not function correctly, posing a serious threat to the customer experience, and possibly patient safety. In addition, grey market sales jeopardize maintenance revenues, as manufacturers lose track of device ownership and thus the maintenance relationship.
  • Customer preferences: In today’s ultra-competitive business environment, healthcare customers are demanding more flexible pricing models, easy access to upgrade features, and a superior customer experience. Embedded software licensing capabilities allow medical manufacturers to meet all of these customer requirements by enabling important capabilities such as field upgrades and a consistent, streamlined customer experience across products.

Turning to Flexera Software for Answers

As medical equipment solution providers address these trends, they increasingly recognize that they face similar issues as software companies. Today’s intelligent device manufacturers are looking to Flexera Software to help them:

  • Reach new markets by creatively packaging and pricing embedded software
  • Build revenues by better monetizing capability and capacity
  • Cut manufacturing costs by using software to differentiate capabilities on devices, and thus reduce the number of unique SKUs
  • Accurately track customer entitlements and usage
  • Track channel partner activity, and maximize service and maintenance revenues
  • Prevent unauthorized use of capabilities without cutting off legitimate customers
  • Reduce the operational costs associated with shipping software upgrades
  • Cut customer support costs by offering customers and channel partners self-service and keeping them current on the latest version
  • Make better development and marketing decisions based on device usage data

Potential Students

In looking for content to put in the space below, I checked with some of my esteemed colleagues here at UF and stole this nearly verbatim from Dr. T. Palmer because I thought it captured succinctly what I wanted to say. Thanks Todd.

The primary function of graduate programs is to train the next generation of professionals. Opinions differ as to the best way to educate students, but the broadest goal of graduate school is to help people make the transition from students to scholars. These days, graduate school admissions have become an increasingly competitive process. No matter what lab you are interested in joining, there are a couple of steps you should take before contacting a potential major advisor.

  1. Read a few papers written by the person with whom you are interested in working. You can find some of mine here. Does their work interest you? Does their approach to science (e.g., experimental, mathematical, comparative) interest you? Does their area of general interest match that of your own (e.g., I study host/parasite coevolution and to some extent mammal evolution); is this something you are interested in?
  2. Spend some time coming up with a few potential research questions that YOU might be interested in pursuing. These do not have to be written in stone, but advisors generally are more interested in students who can show that have done some independent thinking.
  3. After you have completed steps 1 and 2, send your potential advisor an email, and include information about who you are, what you are interested in, and why you are considering that person as an advisor. If you have unofficial transcripts, GRE scores, or other (admittedly dubious) measures of academic potential, include them too. Many schools, and the University of Florida is among them, have basic requirements for GPAs and GREs that you must meet to be considered as a student. More information about those basic requirements can be found on the UF Biology Graduate Program’s website, found under “admissions criteria” here.
  4. Lastly I want to say something about the nature of getting an advanced degree in this field (broadly speaking evolutionary biology). This is not a 40-hour per week endeavor (see Stearn’s advice). You should treat grad school like you would treat the start-up of your own small business. You get out of it what you put into it. I want students who are absolutely driven by the need to pose and answer scientific questions. Ultimately, the questions you ask should keep you up at night and drive you to succeed. If you are not committed to becoming a scholar and scientist in this way, then my lab is probably not for you.
  5. If you have read this far, you have the potential level of commitment that advisors like to see. If you are interested in joining our lab, send me an email at dreed@flmnh.ufl.edu

In Depth: America's Fastest-Shrinking Stores

© AP Photo/Paul Sakuma

To determine America’s fastest-shrinking retailers, we compared analyst consensus sales estimates (as of March 9) for the current quarter with actual sales in the same quarter last year. We only tracked public retailers with expected quarterly sales more than $400 million. These stores are expected to suffer the most through the rest of the year.

eBooks, The Media and You?

You’ve put in the time, energy and effort to write your book, eBook, or article now what? Not getting the overwhelming response you were looking for?

Once you’ve got your book, article, or website ready it’s time to put it to work. Building credibility and expertise in the vast amount of resources out there on the internet can be a bit tricky. How do you show that you are different from your competitors? How do you get your target market to stop and listen to you with all the noise out there?

One of the best ways is to get the media to talk about You! Just like your favourite celebrities use the media you can too! As an Author, Speaker, Expert, or small business owner getting media mentions increases your visibility and credibility.

You can create your own media by creating your own Podcast or Radio Show, or you can be listed as a resource to the vast number of reporters who are looking for experts like you to help them. Every day reporters are faced with the challenge of finding information to back up their work and if they can find you, or your eBook, and interview you, then YOU get mentioned in their work!

Growing your business and getting paid what you’re worth is easy when you are presented as “the expert” in your field by a third party (the media). This method is powerful and eliminates many of the common objections people may have when just finding your website somewhere on the internet.

There are free resources available and there are many companies that can help refer you to these reporters (or vice versa) who are seeking experts on their topic to interview. This is a “win win” situation as you are helping the reporter and you benefit by your work gaining the exposure. The best way to find a company that suits your needs is to use a search engine like Google of course. To further understand what kind of publicity that would best suit your needs and the different components of marketing available to you check out “Publicity” at Wikipedia.

Below are a few direct links to companies that may work for you. Be sure you choose a company that meets your goals and specific needs as PR companies tend to specialize in different areas and types of PR. Another

FreedomWorks for America Endorses Josh Hawley for Attorney General in Missouri

By Jason Pye, 07/15/16

FreedomWorks for America today endorsed Josh Hawley for attorney general of Missouri. The endorsement was announced Thursday evening at a campaign event in Kansas City, Missouri.

“The growth of the federal regulatory state is one of the biggest threats to the economic and personal freedoms of all Americans, which is why it’s so important that we rally behind conservatives who are running for attorney general. Josh Hawley is exactly the type of attorney general Missouri needs to fight this form of government overreach,” said FreedomWorks for America Chairman Adam Brandon. “Josh Hawley is an experienced attorney who has taken on the Obama administration and won. He will help lead the fight against the federal regulatory state and its army of bureaucrats.”

“Missouri Republicans have an incredible opportunity to elect this proven, battle-tested conservative to become the state’s next attorney general. We encourage Republican voters to support Josh Hawley when they head to the polls on August 2,” Brandon added.

FreedomWorks for America is a grassroots service center that provides the tools needed to grassroots volunteers seeking to elect candidates who fight for lower taxes, less government, and more freedom. For more information, please visit or contact Jason Pye at

I need a native Chinese translator to translate my [url removed, login to view] is an ongoing work.

First, give me translation of the following paragraph to consider you.

" Polarizing Treatment:

One addition to the Gerson therapy protocol is the polarizing treatment pioneered by Dr. Demetrio Sodi-Pallares, a noted Mexico City cardiologist and researcher. He was formerly director of the Mexican Medical Association and the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico City. He is the author of several books and many articles on cardiology. He places nutrition in its proper role for prevention and treatment of disease.

The basic Polarizing solution (GKI) can be found in Merck’s Manual of Standard Medical Procedures, a standard medical text. Sodi-Pallares found that in many patients who are deficient in potassium, it is necessary to provide a transport mechanism to help potassium travel through the cell membrane. He achieved this by using a potassium solution (K) together with glucose (G) and a tiny bit of insulin (I) which is given together intravenously.

Polarizing treatment promotes healing in the diseased heart, and in tissues damaged by cancer and other degenerative diseases. Patients with edema (excess fluids in feet, abdomen) note a rapid reabsorption and release of the fluids from the body.

Give me ASAP..............I'll hire you immediately after your translation seems to be human.

The flashcards below were created by user NursyDaisy on FreezingBlue Flashcards.

  1. DNA, RNA, and Proteins: Heredity at the Molecular Level
    • Genes, the basic units of inheritance, are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and are located on chromosomes.
    • DNA is composed of deoxyribose, a phosphate molecule, and four types of nitrogenous bases. The physical structure of DNA is a double helix.
    • The DNA bases code for amino acids, which in turn make up proteins. The amino acids are specified by triplet codons of nitrogenous bases.
    • DNA replication is based on complementary base pairing, in which a single strand of DNA serves as the template for attracting bases that form a new strand of DNA.
    • DNA polymerase is the primary enzyme involved in replication. It adds bases to the new DNA strand and performs “proofreading” functions.
    • Mutation is an inherited alteration of genetic material (i.e., DNA).
    • Substances that cause mutations are called mutagens.
    • The mutation rate in humans varies from locus to locus and ranges from 10-4 to 10-7 per gene per generation.
    • Transcription and translation, the two basic processes in which proteins are specified by DNA, both involve ribonucleic acid (RNA). RNA is chemically similar to DNA, but it is single-stranded, has a ribose sugar molecule, and has uracil rather than thymine as one of its four nitrogenous bases.
    • Transcription is the process by which DNA specifies a sequence of messenger RNA (mRNA).
    • Much of the RNA sequence is spliced from the mRNA before the mRNA leaves the nucleus. The excised sequences are called introns, and those that remain to code for proteins are called exons.
    • Translation is the process by which RNA directs the synthesis of polypeptides. This process takes place in the ribosomes, which consist of proteins and ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
    • During translation, mRNA interacts with transfer RNA (tRNA), a molecule that has an attachment site for a specific amino acid.
  2. Chromosomes
    • Human cells consist of diploid somatic cells (body cells) and haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells).
    • Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Twenty-two of these pairs are autosomes. The remaining pair consists of the sex chromosomes. Females have two homologous X chromosomes as their sex chromosomes; males have an X and a Y chromosome.
    • A karyotype is an ordered display of chromosomes arranged according to length and the location of the centromere.
    • Various types of stains can be used to make chromosome bands more visible.
    • About 1 in 150 live births has a major diagnosable chromosome abnormality. Chromosome abnormalities are the leading known cause of mental retardation and miscarriage.
    • Polyploidy is a condition in which a euploid cell has some multiple of the normal number of chromosomes. Humans have been observed to have triploidy (three copies of each chromosome) and tetraploidy (four copies of each chromosome); both conditions are lethal.
    • Somatic cells that do not have a multiple of 23 chromosomes are aneuploid. Aneuploidy is usually the result of nondisjunction.
    • Trisomy is a type of aneuploidy in which one chromosome is present in three copies in somatic cells. A partial trisomy is one in which only part of a chromosome is present in three copies.
    • Monosomy is a type of aneuploidy in which one chromosome is present in only one copy in somatic cells.
    • In general, monosomies cause more severe physical defects than do trisomies, illustrating the principle that the loss of chromosome material has more severe consequences than the duplication of chromosome material.
    • Down syndrome, a trisomy of chromosome 21, is the best-known disease caused by a chromosome aberration. It affects 1 in 800 live births and is much more likely to occur in the offspring of women older than 35 years.
    • Most aneuploidies of the sec chromosomes have less severe consequences than those of the autosomes.
    • The most commonly observed sex chromosome aneuploidies are the 47,XXX karyotype, 45,X karyotype (Turner syndrome), 47,XXY karyotype (Klinefelter syndrome) and 47,XYY karyotype.
    • Abnormalities of chromosome structure include deletions, duplications, inversions, and translocations.
  3. Elements of Formal Genetics
    • Mendelian traits are caused by single genes, each of which occupies a position, or locus, on a chromosome.
    • Alleles are different forms of genes located at the same locus on a chromosome.
    • At any given locus in a somatic cell, an individual has two genes, one from each parent. An individual may be homozygous or heterozygous for a locus.
    • An individual’s genotype is his or her genetic makeup, and the phenotype reflects the interaction of genotype and environment.
    • In a heterozygote, a dominant gene’s effects mask those of a recessive gene. The recessive gene is expressed only when it is present in two copies.
  4. Transmission of Genetic Disease
    • Genetic diseases caused by single genes usually follow autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked recessive modes of inheritance.
    • Pedigree charts are important tools in the analysis of modes of inheritance.
    • Recurrence risks specify the probability that future offspring will inherit a genetic disease. For single-gene diseases, recurrence risks remain the same for each offspring, regardless of the number of affected or unaffected offspring.
    • The recurrence risk for autosomal dominant diseases is usually 50%.
    • Germline mosaicism can alter recurrence risks for genetic diseases because unaffected parents can produce multiple affected offspring. This situation occurs because the germline of one parent is affected by a mutation but the parent’s somatic cells are unaffected.
    • Skipped generations are not seen in classical autosomal dominant pedigrees.
    • Males and females are equally likely to exhibit autosomal dominant diseases and to pass them on to their offspring.
    • Many genetic diseases have a delayed age of onset.
    • A gene that is not always expressed phenotypically is said to have incomplete penetrance.
    • Variable expressivity is a characteristic of many genetic diseases.
    • Genomic imprinting, which is associated with methylation, results in differing expression of a disease gene, depending on which parent transmitted the gene.
    • Epigenetics involves changes, such as the methylation of DNA bases that do not alter the DNA sequence but can alter the expression of genes.
    • Most commonly, parents of children with autosomal recessive diseases are both heterozygous carriers of the disease gene.
    • The recurrence risk for autosomal recessive diseases is 25%.
    • Males and females are equally likely to be affected by autosomal recessive diseases.
    • Consanguinity is sometimes present in families with autosomal recessive diseases, and it becomes more prevalent with rare recessive diseases.
    • Carrier detection tests for an increasing number of autosomal recessive diseases are available.
    • The frequency of genetic diseases approximately doubles in the offspring of first-cousin matings.
    • In each normal female somatic cell, one of the two X chromosomes is inactivated early in embryo-genesis.
    • X inactivation is random, fixed, and incomplete (i.e., only part of the chromosome is actually inactivated). It may involve methylation.
    • Gender is determined embryonically by the presence of the SRY gene on the Y chromosome. Embryos that have a Y chromosome (and thus the SRY gene) become males, whereas those lacking the Y chromosome become females. When the Y chromosome lacks the SRY gene, an XY female can be produced. Similarly, an X chromosome that contains the SRY gene can produce an XX male.
    • X-linked genes are those that are located on the X chromosome. Nearly all known X-linked diseases are caused by X-linked recessive genes.
    • Males are hemizygous for genes on the X chromosome.
    • X-linked recessive diseases are seen much more often in males than in females because males need only one copy of the gene to express the disease.
    • Fathers can’t pass X-linked genes to their sons.
    • Skipped generations often are seen in X-linked recessive disease pedigrees because the gene can be transmitted through carrier females.
    • Recurrence risks for X-linked recessive diseases depend on the carrier and affected status of the mother and father.
    • A sex-limited trait is one that occurs only in one sex (gender).
    • A sex-influenced trait is one that occurs more often in one sex than in the other.
  5. Linkage Analysis and Gene Mapping
    • During meiosis I, crossover occurs and can cause recombinations of alleles located on the same chromosome.
    • The frequency of recombinations can be used to infer the map distance between loci on the same chromosome.
    • A marker locus, when closely linked to a disease-gene locus, can be used to predict whether an individual will develop a genetic disease.
    • A more complete gene map will facilitate marker studies, gene cloning, and studies of gene function and interaction, and gene therapy.
  6. Multifactorial Inheritance
    • Traits that result from the combined effects of several loci are polygenic. When environmental factors also influence the trait, it is multifactorial.
    • Many multifactorial traits have a threshold of liability. Once the threshold of liability has been crossed, the disease may be expressed.
    • Empiric risks, based on direct observation of large numbers of families, are used to estimate recurrence risks for multifactorial diseases.
    • Recurrence risks for multifactorial diseases become higher if more than one family member is affected or if the expression of the disease in the probed is more severe.
    • Recurrence risks for multifactorial diseases decrease rapidly for more remote relatives.
