COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STANDARD SPECIFICATION SECTION 105 DISPUTE REVIEW BOARD Brannan Sand and Gravel Co. v.

CDOT will make partial payments to the Contractor once each month as the work progresses, when the Contractor is performing satisfactorily under the Contract. Payments will be based upon progress estimates prepared by the Engineer, of the value of work performed, materials placed in accordance with the Contract, and the value of the materials on hand in accordance with the Contract. Revision of Section 109. In September 2006, CDOT, CCA (Colorado Contractors Associations), and CAPA (Colorado Asphalt Pavement Association) formed a joint Task Force at the request of CAPA to evaluate the need for an asphalt cement cost adjustment specification that would be similar to the Fuel Cost Adjustment that was currently being used by CDOT. The result of the Task Force effort was the revision of Standard Specification 109.06 to include the Asphalt Cement Cost Adjustments Subsection.

War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era
Social & Demographic Trends October 5, 2011 The Military-Civilian Gap War and Sacrifice in the Post-9/11 Era FOR FURTHER INFORMATION, CONTACT Pew Social & Demographic Trends Tel (202) 419-4372 1615 L St., N.W., Suite 700 Washington, D.C. 20036 www.pewsocialtrends.org PREFACE America’s post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq are unique. Never before has this nation been engaged in conflicts for so long. And never before has it waged sustained warfare with so small a share of its population carrying the fight. This report sets out to explore a series of questions that arise from these historical anomalies. It does so on the strength of two nationwide surveys the Pew Research Center conducted in the late summer of 2011, as the 10th anniversary of the start of the war in Afghanistan approached. One survey was conducted among a nationally representative sample of 1,853 military veterans, including 712 who served on active duty in the period after the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The other was among a nationally representative sample of 2,003 American adults. The report compares and contrasts the attitudes of post-9/11 veterans, pre-9/11 veterans and the general public on a wide range of matters, including sacrifice; burden sharing; patriotism; the worth of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq; the efficiency of the military and the effectiveness of modern military tactics; the best way to fight terrorism; the desirability of a return of the military draft; the nature of America’s place in the world; and the gaps in understanding between the military and civilians. -
Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell
Anonymous 1 Anonymous Sydney Brown English 120 4 April 2010 Coronavirus Lockdown Is a Living Hell As residents of Wuhan, China, my family and I are living in hell. The city has been locked down for more than a month. Every night before falling asleep I have been confronted by an unreal feeling and many questions: I know that coronavirus is the reason for the lockdown, but did life in Wuhan have to become a living hell? Why were we notified about the city lockdown at 2 a.m. on the second to last morning before the Lunar New Year? Why have I not been given any instructions from a government officer about how to cope when an entire city is on lockdown? Why do I feel so afraid? I'm nearly 30 years old, and my family members and I have devoted ourselves to our jobs to build a better life and we have largely succeeded. There's only a little more to do before we reach the level of middle class. But along the way, things did not go exactly as I'd hoped. I have been working hard in school since I was small. My dream was to become a journalist, and I passed the test to enter the best school for journalism in China. After school, I learned that government supervision of the media meant that telling the truth was not an option, so I gave up my dream and turned to another career. I kept telling myself that my hard work would Anonymous 2 reward me in my personal life. -

CONNECTICUT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 52 APRIL 2020 NUMBER 1 Article The Omega Man or the Isolation of U.S. Antitrust Law SPENCER WEBER WALLER There is a classic sciencefiction novel andfilm that presenta metaphorfor the isolation of United States antitrust law in the current global context. Richard Mathiesson 's 1954 classic science fiction novel, I am Legend, and the later 1971 film released under the name of The Omega Man starring Charleton Heston, both deal with the fate of Robert Neville, a survivor of a world-wide pandemic who believes he is the last man on Earth. While I am Legend and The Omega Man are obviously works offantasy, it nonetheless has resonancefor contemporaryantitrust debate and discourse. United States antitrust law and policy diverges significantly from the rest of the global antitrust community in important areas of scope, philosophy, doctrine, procedure, remedies, and institutions.Much of this divergence in world view is the product of history and path dependence that is largely unique to the United States experience. -
