Stuck on I-94? Billboard taps into drivers' frustration

A concrete industry association is tweaking MnDOT for choosing asphalt over concrete (again) as the surface for Interstate 94 between downtown Minneapolis and downtown St. Paul.
A new billboard at I-94 near Cleveland Avenue in St. Paul declares, "Hey Asphalt, Concrete Lasts 3X Longer."
The ad targets what is an increasingly captive audience. A resurfacing project has squeezed the freeway, leading to frequent jams and giving motorists plenty of time to contemplate the trade group's message.
The Portland Cement Association paid for the ad. In a press release, the group declares:
During the height of the summer travel season, drivers will experience delays along the I-94 corridor due to the third asphalt resurfacing in the last two decades. In what is an already congested artery in the Twin Cities, these delays will impact drivers during the July 4 holiday and beyond.
The Portland Cement Association (PCA), the voice of America's cement and concrete industry, is running billboard ads informing the motoring public that choosing concrete instead of asphalt is the smart choice, dramatically decreasing construction time and congestion - in addition to the best use of taxpayer funds.
Concrete roads last an average of three times longer than asphalt. In Minnesota, asphalt roads need to be resurfaced approximately every 8 years, compared to concrete roads, which last an average of 25 years before requiring any maintenance. I-94 was just resurfaced in 2000 and 1993.
The asphalt industry isn't letting the cement association's salvo go unanswered. In a WCCO-TV story, the Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association defends its namesake product.
Richard Wolters with the Minnesota Asphalt Pavement Association says the billboard doesn't tell the truth.
"I don't think it's a fair representation for the taxpayers of Minnesota," said Wolters.
Wolters says in Minnesota and nationally the highway system is 94 percent asphalt.
He says not only is hot-mix asphalt the best buy for the taxpayer its environmentally friendly.
Of course, asphalt prevailed in the I-94 resurfacing battle this time around. The two-year project is in full swing, with some real pain coming during a series of weekend closures during the next month.
Eastbound I-94 closes this weekend from Highway 280 to Western Avenue. MnDOT provides details on the upcoming closures:
* Eastbound I- 94: July 9-12 and July 23-26. Traffic will detour on Hwy 280, Hwy 36 and I-35E
* Westbound I-94: July 30- August 2 and August 6-9. Traffic will detour on I-35E, Hwy 36 and Hwy 280

If asphalt is environmentally friendly, what do European countries primarily use concrete? It was a puzzle to one of my friends who moved here from Germany. America is seen as so advanced yet our roads are much worse than German ones - and under repair more often.
It explained to her why the autobahn can have higher speed limits - can you image hitting a pothole at 100 mph?
Never saw a pothole or other problems on their main highways and thoroughfares...will see it occasionally on less traveled roads but not the main ones.
I would like for them to defend their "environmentally friendliness" with some sort of proof. It seems to me concrete is mainly made out of minerals and stones, while asphalt is made out of elements of crude oil. Everyone has seen the news lately, which of those substances sounds the most ecologically damaging?
Asphalt is more environmentally friendly because it is the most recycled material in America and has a much lower carbon footprint. Asphalt pavement is 95 percent mineral aggregate (stone, sand, and gravel) and 5 percent asphalt cement (the thick, gluey part of a barrel of oil). Concrete is 92 percent mineral aggregates and 8 percent portland cement. The manufacture of portland cement is one of the three biggest causes of greenhouse gas emissions from human activities. And, concrete pavement has very limited potential for recycling. Once you build that concrete pavement, you can't reactivate the portland cement as glue -- unlike asphalt pavement, in which the asphalt is reactivated to bind new pavement together when it is recycled.
Most concrete in urban areas is recycled as fill or road base. When the Illinois toll road was expanded last year all existing concrete pavement crushed on site and reused as base stone under new roadways. Recycling the existing road materials not only saved the cost of purchasing new materials for the roadway beds, but also eliminated the cost of hauling the old materials from the work site and disposal in landfills.
3.2 million tons of concrete recycled was which is enough concrete to build 4,000 miles of sidewalk, equal the distance from Chicago, IL to San Diego, CA and back. Additionally, up to 90 percent of each new roadway base consists of recycled concrete

There is an urban legend that over thirty percent of all children are not born of their appointed father; instead, they are the goods of adultery. Because of this long-standing myth, the idea of the paternity check continues to be a persistent 1 in the minds with the public. Right here, we will clarify what a paternity check really is and solution queries on the way it operates to demonstrate who fathered the little one.
Why A Paternity Check:
Some query why this check is known as a 'paternity'. The answer is very simple: unless the mother was impregnated by way of an egg donation, it is clear that she may be the mom. The father, nonetheless, might be anyone--that is why children are examined versus his DNA instead of hers.
How Does A Paternity Test Function:
Though there are other strategies, DNA testing will be the easiest--and most effective--way to test a child for paternity.
DNA is exclusive for each individual but, when sexual reproduction happens, an embryo is developed. That embryo is formed by taking genetic materials from each mother and father to generate a new string of DNA.
To prove who's the father, 1 only needs to appear in the child's DNA pattern. In it, you are going to locate proof of the father's exclusive traits. Certain sequences will likely be obtainable, and these will demonstrate whose qualities handed on.
Is actually a Paternity Check Correct:
Sure. Unless of course the case entails a twin brother, DNA need to easily have the ability to tell who fathered the child. The test is correct.
Is a Paternity Check Required:
This will be the gray location from the subject. A father's correct to know if a child is his isn't questioned; what is questioned, however, may be the effects around the little one. Usually, cases of fathers looking for parental rights to children who have with their moms and an additional guy who they watch as their father surface. These instances are long, drawn-out battles of fundamental parental rights vs . fundamental kid welfare. The father might argue that, since it was he who truly designed the youngster, he need to have the best to be existing in his or her life. Others would argue, nevertheless, that a child inside a secure residence really should not be compelled to possess two fathers and, therefore, two lives.
It's this heated discussion that has divided a lot of, and left the rest uncertain. Every case is different and should be examined as exclusive, which tends to make setting precedent practically unattainable.
To have a paternity test is usually to open up a fantastic deal of consequences--not just for the youngster, but for your mother and father. It's not a basic matter, or one that must be decided too rapidly. These tests may possibly be taken with out consent, but there is a law within the United kingdom which is demanding that no check be given without having the convey information of all concerned. This is usually to shield families.
A paternity check is surely an successful way to find out who fathered a kid, however it can also be an powerful way to trigger a kid grief. It must be approached with caution.

I have taken notice that in video cameras, exceptional devices help to aim automatically. These sensors with some cams change in contrast, while others utilize a beam of infra-red (IR) light, specially in low light. Higher specification cameras often use a combination of both programs and likely have Face Priority AF where the photographic camera can 'See' some sort of face and concentrate only upon that. Thank you for sharing your ideas on this weblog.
