versus 30-year easements will also determine the environmental impacts and ecosystem services received from implementation of ACEP. For example, ecosystem services requiring a long periods to be fully realized, such as carbon sequestration through timber growth, will not be as great with 30-year easements as a permanent easement (Jenkins et al., 2010). We note that agricultural lands and wetlands sequester carbon at higher rates than lands converted to development. Agricultural lands provide a variety of ecosystem services that may not be accounted for in a marketplace (Table 6). Previous studies of public preferences and attitudes toward farmland protection indicate that along with providing open and green space, a strong public motivation for farmland protection is to protect the agrarian nature of a community including cultural values, heritage values, rural lifestyles, and access to fresh, local food supplies. All these factors are dependent on the continued existence of viable farms and farming operations (Bergstrom and Ready, 2009; Swinton et al., 2007; Gardner, 1977; Irwin, Nickerson and Libby, 2003). 6.

NEWS RELEASE LINK-BELT CRANES 2651 Palumbo Drive Lexington, KY 40509 (859) 263-5200 www.linkbelt.com Contact: Casey C. Smith (859) 264-6246 caseysmith@linkbelt.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NR18-03 Link-Belt TCCs Deliver for Challenging TEXRail Project Lexington, KY – March 1, 2018 – TEXRail is a 27.2 mile commuter rail system that will operate between downtown Fort Worth, Texas in Tarrant County and DFW International Airport. Contract for the project was awarded to joint-venture Archer Western - Herzog for $998 million USD. Davis Motor Crane Service of Irving, Texas was selected as the contractor for bridge beam placement. “We needed a solution for a 250-ton class crane that could walk with a load. Multiple rail closures and tight setups also meant that we could not use a crane that needed the time and space to set outriggers. The final requirement was a crane that gave us the necessary headroom clearance under existing overpasses,” said Wes Dowd, Operations Superintendent for Davis Crane Service. “Adding the TCC-1100 was an eye opener to the telecrawler market for us. We quickly saw the advantages. So when the TCC-2500 came available we did our homework and checked and double checked our measurements and added it to our fleet. We feel that both of these cranes really give us an advantage to deliver on the unique hoisting needs of our customers,” said Dowd. Peach Yard “We first began in Peach Yard, just northeast of downtown Fort Worth, and worked south from Chocktaw Bridge setting beams parallel to the existing BNSF and Union Pacific line,” said Dowd. Tandem picks were made with two Link-Belt telescopic crawler cranes: the 250-ton (230-mt) TCC-2500 and 110-ton (100-mt) TCC-1100. The cranes lifted at a steady pace of 16 beams per day on four consecutive days in order to complete the section adjacent to Peach Yard. Right-of-way space required by existing rail companies meant that Davis Cranes had a narrow boundary zone to setup, unload and place the 90 ft. (27.4 m) long, 98,000 lb. (44 452 kg) beams.
PLT19 – Herbicide Resistant Weed Management (15-1 General and 16-1 Renewals) To determine the mode of action (MOA) of various herbicides use and follow the Site of Action columns on the: (chart) The (6.6MB) is also an applicable reference. The STIR value is the Soil Tillage Intensity Rating. The RUSLE 2 software program utilizes the speed, depth, surface disturbance percent and tillage type parameters to calculate a tillage intensity rating for the system used in growing a crop or a rotation. STIR ratings tend to show the differences in the degree of soil disturbance between systems. The greater the disturbance, the higher STIR.

USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service July 2015 – Issue 15 - Herbicide Persistence and Rotation to Cover Crops Barry Fisher, NRCS State Soil Health Specialist/Agronomist Victor Shelton, NRCS State Agronomist/Grazing Specialist Tony Bailey, NRCS State Conservation Agronomist This Crib Note is intented to supplement Indiana Agronomy Crib Note Issue 5, but should be useful for any summer or fall cover crop seeding. Heavy rains and major flooding have been common throughout Indiana this planting season. The full impact to agriculture is not yet clear, but we know farmers will need to manage and recover from the aftermath of rain and flooding now and in the future. When prolonged rain and flooding results in some fields that will go unplanted, or crop failure, farmers should still strive to accomplish something positive from the situation by planting cover crops. Farmers planting cover crops to regenerate soil health in these fields need to consider the potential for residual herbicides to affect the germination and growth of selected cover crops. Many fields intended for corn or soybean have already had one or more residual herbicides applied. Numerous factors affect the persistence (breakdown or half-life) of herbicides in the soil. These factors include but are not limited to: soil pH, soil organic matter, temperature, precipitation, exposure to sunlight, soil texture and biological activity. Additionally, understanding the differences in mode-of-action of each herbicide group is a great predictor of how tolorent a cover crop may be to each class of chemistry. Refer to the following link to a table compiled by Penn State Weed Scientists that helps predict which herbicides may reduce the success of cover crop establishment: There is also a table for the injury potential of some common herbicides (carryover risk) in the Midwest Cover Crop Field Guide: Also visit the Purdue Extension Weed Science page for additional information on herbicide mode-of-action at: Contact your local NRCS office for assistance in selecting cover crop plant species and seeding rates.

HR 120 - AXR to confirm UVC placement, CXR for ETT - Finish from above END CASE at 10 minutes or once intubated/UVC placed. Section VI: Scenario Progression Section VII: Supporting Documents, Laboratory Results, & Multimedia Laboratory Results None for this case. No imaging for case. Section VIII: Debriefing Guide General Debriefing Plan Individual Group With Video Without Video Objectives Educational Goal: Expose learners to the resuscitation of a neonate – a rare but critical presentation in the ED. CRM Objectives: 1) Effectively lead a team through a neonatal resuscitation. 2) Demonstrate high quality closed-loop communication during resuscitation. Medical Objectives: Recognize flat baby and initiate warming and drying. Provide quality NRP care including: Starting with PPV Initiating CPR when appropriate Intubation Attempting iv access/umbilical line Sample Questions for Debriefing Have you ever taken part in NRP before? How did it feel today? What are the key moments in the NRP algorithm? How would your management have changed if the infant had meconium? When is naloxone indicated in a neonate? What happens when you give naloxone to a neonate whose mom has been using narcotics regularly throughout pregnancy? Were you concerned the O2 sats? What is normal? Where should you measure them? How do you feel the team communicated? Were you all being clear with each other? How did you address uncertainty in management? Key Moments Recognition of flat baby. Initiating PPV. Initiating CPR.
Change Management Plan Outline Kotter’s Eight-Step Change Model Questions to Ask Weekly Individual Assignment Step 1: Establish a of urgency. Develop a problem statement. What current health policy issue exists that is of national concern? What evidence-based practice exists that shows this policy is an issue? What evidence supports the reason for the change? What are the consequences if changes are not implemented? Establishing a Sense of Urgency (Week 2) Step 2: Create a guiding coalition. Identify stakeholders that will assist you in implementing the change. Who is directly impacted by the health policy? What are the roles of each party involved in the change management plan? Identify how each will help implement change in the policy issue? Professional Organization Evaluation (Week 3) Step 3: Develop a vision and strategy. Develop a plan for how and you see the policy issue making an impact. Policy Presentation (Week 5) Step 4: Communicate the change vision. Create a strategy for how you will communicate this change to your legislative representative. How will the passing of this bill improve health care? Petition Letter (Week 6) Step 5: Empower broad-based action. Identify potential barriers that will hinder you from implementing change in this area and barriers that could keep the bill from becoming a law. How will you face these barriers to keep the change process moving? What is your strategy for removing the barriers? Bill Proposal (Week 6) Step 6: Generate short-term wins. Identify short organizational improvements that relate to the change effort.
