Illini State Park

Illini State Park is the type of park you think of when you think of big picnics and family gatherings. With its rustic Civilian Conservation Corps buildings and riverside picnic areas, Illini State Park offers beautiful views and a sense of history not found in many other parks. Named for the native Americans who once inhabited the area, Illini State Park is located south of the Illinois River between Marseilles and U.S. Route 6. The northern edge of the 510-acre park is bordered by the Great Falls of the Illinois River. In just 2 miles, the river drops 3 feet, creating beautiful, roaring rapids.

Ingredient costs hit Kellogg, Kraft earnings

By Brad Dorfman

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Kraft Foods Inc <KFT.N> and Kellogg Co <K.N>, two of the world's largest food makers, posted lower quarterly results on Wednesday, hampered by soaring costs for ingredients like dairy products and wheat.

The fourth quarter was one of the worst ever for food companies in terms of commodity costs, analysts said. Kraft said that wheat, soybean oil, cheese, coffee, cocoa and a host of other commodities are well above their 10-year averages.

"Across the food space, it's showing up this (fourth) quarter," Edward Jones analyst Matt Arnold said of rising commodity costs. Arnold said costs should remain tough in the first quarter, but then could ease later this year.

Like other food companies, Kellogg, the largest cereal maker, and Kraft, the largest North American food company, have raised prices to try to help recoup some of the rising costs.

Those increases come as the U.S. economy teeters on the brink of a recession. But executives at both companies said they should be well positioned if the economy were to move into a full-fledged recession.

"The most prominent impact of a potential recession will be that people will continue to eat at home more," rather than at restaurants, Kraft Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld said in an interview with Reuters.

Kraft profit fell to $585 million, or 38 cents a share, in the fourth quarter compared with $624 million, or 38 cents, a year earlier when the company had roughly 100 million more shares outstanding.

The maker of Oreo cookies, Crystal light drink mixes and Oscar Mayer lunch meat said profit was 44 cents a share excluding restructuring costs, matching the average analyst estimate compiled by Reuters Estimates.

Revenue rose to $10.40 billion from $9.37 billion. Excluding divestitures and the benefit from the weaker dollar, "organic" revenue rose 6.2 percent, the company said.

The company has been making changes in its portfolio, purchasing Groupe Danone's <DANO.PA> global cookie business in November while separately agreeing to sell its Post Cereals business to Ralcorp Holdings Inc <RAH.N>.

At the same time, it has increased development of new products like Oreo sandwich cakes and Oscar Mayer deli sandwich kits to help boost sales.

Still, surging dairy costs weighed on profits. The company, which gets almost one-fifth of its revenue from cheese, said dairy costs were up more than 40 percent in the quarter.

"Cheese has been a category that they have struggled to manage properly for the past decade," Gregg Warren, analyst at Morningstar, said.

Kellogg -- manufacturer of Frosted Flakes cereal, Keebler cookies and Eggo waffles -- posted a 3 percent decline in fourth-quarter profit to $176 million, or 44 cents a share, matching analysts estimates.

Sales rose 8.1 percent to $2.79 billion. Internal sales, which exclude currency fluctuations and acquisitions, increased 5 percent.

Fourth-quarter North American internal sales rose 8 percent in the cereal business, 2 percent in the snack business and 6 percent in the frozen and specialty channels business.

For 2008, the company stood by its earnings forecast of $2.92 to $2.97 a share. Kellogg Chief Executive David Mackay said on a conference call that the company should be able to weather a recession.

"Really, our business has performed pretty well through those periods," he said of past U.S. economic slowdowns.

Kellogg shares were up 64 cents a share at $50.26 on Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange and Kraft was down 33 cents at $29.86. Kellogg trades at 18 times estimated 2008 earnings, while Kraft trades at a multiple of 16.5 times.

In To Kill a Mockingbird is Jem motivated by respect and if so how does that desire to be respected impact the other characters in the book?

Jem is motivated by respect because he is getting older and wants to be respected.  He expects respect from Scout, and wants to earn it from his father.  Scout respects Jem, but does not always understand him.

Since Jem is older than Scout, he expects her to respect him.  Atticus points out to his brother that Scout does respect her older brother.

She's coming along, though. Jem's getting older and she follows his example a good bit now. All she needs is assistance sometimes. (ch 9)

In fact, while Scout often complains about Jem’s efforts to correct her behavior, she generally tries to win his approval.

…Jem was not highly critical unless you said something stupid. (ch 24)

The person Jem most wants respect from is his father.  When he accidentally loses his pants trying to sneak on to Boo Radley’s porch, he goes back to get them.  He is not afraid of punishment.  He does not want Atticus to find out because he wants Atticus to respect him.  He tells Scout that Atticus has never whipped him, and she asks if he has never caught him doing something wrong.

"Maybe so, but- I just wanta keep it that way, Scout. We shouldn'a done that tonight, Scout." (ch 6)

This statement represents a good deal of maturity on Jem’s part, because he realizes messing with Boo Radley is wrong.  It also demonstrates that he cares more about Atticus’s respect than his own life, since the children know Radley has a shotgun.

Since Scout is not yet where Atticus is in life, she does not really understand his need for respect.  As a result, they begin to grow more apart at this stage.

Sometimes I did not understand him, but my periods of
bewilderment were short-lived. This was beyond me. (ch 6)

The incident, and Jem's need for respect, demonstrates his maturity and distance from his little sister and childhood things.

A temperate deciduous forest, as seen in New York State has organisms that are adapted to four seasons including  a cold winter, and moderate amounts of annual rainfall. Plants include deciduous trees such as beech, maple, and oak. These trees are broad leaved and they are shed each autumn. This is an adaptation to survive during winter when there is little available water. There are also coniferous trees such as pines and other evergreens and these retain their needles all year long. Fauna include: deer, rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, foxes, beavers, songbirds, hawks, eagles, owls, bears. All of these organisms interact with the flora in a wide variety of food webs.

Madame Sarah Essay - Critical Essays

Cornelia Otis Skinner

In the introduction, Skinner states that her purpose was to write an account of Bernhardt that contains the facts of her life without judgment of her personal habits and mannerisms, which have overshadowed her greatness in other biographies. The author does not offer excuses for or denials of the blemishes on the character of Bernhardt that had already been documented, including such descriptions as egotistic, materialistic, tending to exaggerate to the point of lying, and unreliable. Skinner presents the numerous conflicting accounts of Bernhardt’s personality in the introduction. The narrative of the events in Bernhardt’s life is told without judgment of her character.

Some reference is made to the personality strengths and weaknesses of the individuals that Bernhardt knew in her life. Consequently, Skinner introduces many different types of personalities and leaves the reader with a sense of how difficult it would be for a famous individual such as Bernhardt to always say and do the proper thing in such a wide variety of political and social situations.

Skinner’s portrayal of the loves and lovers of Bernhardt makes it clear that there was only one love in her life—the theater. Her numerous suitors are mentioned, but the book does not elaborate on these affairs. Bernhardt was a private person and most of the material written about her love life is secondhand information, much of which is gossipy in nature. Skinner does detail the relationship between Bernhardt and her son, Maurice, allowing the reader to see that this woman was capable of loving a person deeply and over a long period of time.

The cultural traits of the French people are brought out by Skinner in the accounts of Bernhardt’s travels abroad and how shocked and frightened she became when she was first introduced to differences between her own society and foreign cultures. Skinner explains each of the cultural...

Themes and Meanings

(Survey of Dramatic Literature)

Characteristic of many, if not all, of Eugene O’Neill’s plays is his portrayal of neurotic or self-divided individuals, people who cannot approach wholeness until they first learn self-acceptance. In this respect, A Moon for the Misbegotten is typical, for both James Tyrone and Josie Hogan discover through each other that they possess within themselves the means for achieving such acceptance.

In an earlier play about the Tyrones, Long Day’s Journey into Night (pr., pb. 1956), Mary Tyrone, mother and morphine addict, says to her younger son, “The past is the present, isn’t it? It’s the future, too. We all try to lie out of that but life won’t let us.” Elsewhere she expresses such fatalism when talking about her elder son, James Tyrone, Jr., when she says, “He can’t help being what the past has made him.” Mary herself is haunted and consumed by her past, just as her elder son James is in this later play; thus it is not surprising when Tyrone says to Josie, “There is no present or future—only the past happening over and over again—now. You can’t get away from it.” Whereas his mother used morphine to escape herself and her present life, Tyrone uses alcohol and sex to kill all thoughts about how he failed his mother. He failed her by becoming an alcoholic, by not crying over her death, by attempting to forget the loss through drunkenness and whoring, and by blaming her for dying and leaving him alone. In other...

Agency commitments to SSFL cleanup, radioactive debris, and Runkle Canyon dust cause a stir at SSFL Work Group meeting

News & Analysis

The Santa Susana Field Laboratory Work Group February 5 in Simi Valley gave community members a chance to learn more about the details and progress of current cleanup agreements for the polluted former nuclear and rocket testing facility. SSFL sits in the hills between the Simi and San Fernando valleys and operated for over half a century beginning in the late 1940s.

Dan Hirsch, president of the nuclear watch-dog group Committee to Bridge the Gap, presented on the Agreements on Consent that NASA and the Department of Energy (DOE) signed with the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) in 2010 to clean up their portions of SSFL to background levels of contamination.

Hirsch explained the agreement in simple terms, “What they contaminated, they will clean up, if they can find it. If it’s at a level below a detection limit, they don’t have to cleanup what they can’t detect.” He noted that the AOC includes in situ [in place] treatment as an option for remediating contaminated soil, and that the agreement includes exceptions for endangered species and Native American artifacts. In closing, Hirsch noted that some community members had gotten nervous that the agencies may be trying to break the cleanup commitments, and that there might not be any cleanup at all.

John Jones, DOE federal project director for SSFL, gave a short presentation that seemed to allay such fears.

“At the end of the day, our perspective is that it’s what Dan [Hirsch] had mentioned, it was [former DOE assistant secretary for environmental cleanup] Inéz Triay that said ‘I’m tired of fighting. Let’s clean up to background,’” Jones told the crowd. “Let’s get this site closed. And that is what has led to where we’re at…The bottom line is yes things happen, yes they were unfortunate and we’ve made a commitment to clean it up.”

Jones told the Work Group audience that the agency was committed to the AOC it signed because, “At the end of the day…it’s the right thing to do.”

The very next night, however, Jones hosted a DOE Soils Treatability Investigation Group (STIG) meeting at the Radisson Hotel in Chatsworth, at which he said that 1,700,000 cubic yards of soil would have to be removed from the DOE area, according to one attendee. Jones also claimed that a bag of dirt he bought from the store would have to be cleaned up if AOC levels were employed. That must have been some monstrously hot dirt, given the already high look up tables for radiological trigger levels. More likely, it is a ploy intended to misinform and alarm the community.

Jones’s stunt indicates that DOE is anything but as enthusiastic as he portrayed at the Work Group meeting to meaningfully remediate Area IV. Two subsequent public scoping hearings (covered in upcoming EnviroReporter.com reporting) also demonstrated that DOE’s commitment to the AOC may in fact have been an empty promise.

Crowded SSFL Work Group meeting Feb 5 2014Following Jones at Work Group event was NASA’s Peter Zorba, SSFL project manager for the space agency. Zorba described activities NASA had taken to date in preparing its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), estimating that upwards of 480,000 to 500,000 cubic yards of soil had been fouled by half a century’s 30,000 rocket engine tests.

Zorba made no clear commitment to the AOC, prompting Hirsch to play a videotape of NASA associate administrator Richard Keegan telling Congresswoman Julia Brownley (D- Thousand Oaks) that NASA was committed to the AOC, despite a previous Inspector General report stating the cleanup was too costly. With prodding from Hirsch, Zorba indicated that NASA remained committed. Hirsch responded, “We’ll see what happens in March,” referring to the release of NASA’s final Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), due out this month.

DTSC’s Ray Leclerc, department project director for SSFL, was much more direct. “We are committed to the AOCs and as necessary, we will enforce the AOCs,” he said to cheers and applause.

“I do probably want to reiterate that we intend to implement CEQA,” continued Leclerc. “It’s the law but we also intend to enforce the AOCs and they are wholly consistent. We’ve heard some comments that some people may believe they are inconsistent; they’re not. CEQA’s the law and the AOCs and we intend to enforce them. It’s as simple as that.”

But DTSC’s true designs may also not be so simple, as evidenced by a February 24 email it sent out. “On Wednesday, April 9, 2014, the Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) will host their next biannual public meeting,” the email read. “Staff from the Department of Toxic Substances Control will discuss the potential off-site risks associated with the cleanup of the Santa Susana Field Laboratory (SSFL) site.” [Emphasis added]

DTSC has repeatedly denied the off-site contamination from SSFL poses a risk to public health, despite numerous instances of hazardous SSFL contaminants found in nearby Runkle Canyon, Sage Ranch, Brandeis-Bardin and Dayton Canyon. [KB Home’s Runkle Canyon development is now called Arroyo Vista at the Woodlands.]

But now, the department will host a meeting about the risks to the public from the cleanup, a topic that seems to be aimed squarely at creating concerns that the clean up – not the contamination – is the problem, a move which calls into question the sincerity of it’s previously avowed commitment to the cleanup agreements.

Radioactive Break Down

The final Work Group presentation of the evening was made by Ethan Miska, a student at UC Santa Cruz. Miska assisted Hirsch in producing the report, “Demolition of Radioactive Structures and the Disposal and Recycling of the Debris from the Santa Susana Field Laboratory Nuclear Area and the Role played by the California Department of Toxic Substances Control and the California Department of Public Health.”

Despite the lengthy name, the presentation shortly elucidated gasps of incredulity from the audience. It was easy to see why. Miska’s presentation showed radioactive Area IV buildings being torn down by Boeing with tons of irradiated metal being sent to recyclers and even more sent to dumps not designed for radioactive waste. And all of it approved by looking the other way by DTSC and CDPH, or DPH as it is referred to in court documents.

Recycled radioactive metal is not a new issue but it is a potentially life and death dispersion of lethal radionuclides into the consumer product stream unbeknownst to the purchaser. It certainly is a lot cheaper than disposing of radioactive metal, concrete and other debris in a licensed radioactive dump.

“Virtually anything from utensils, pants zippers, teeth braces, belt buckles, hip and the drive shafts of automobiles were being made out of radioactive recycled metal that originated from government contracted facilities,” according to a Pasadena Weekly newspaper article by this reporter in 2001. “[Committee to Bridge the Gap] uncovered the problem when it discovered that 300 tons of radioactive metals had been sold to a San Pedro, California recycler by military industrial giant Rocketdyne.”

ESADA demolitionNow Boeing, which bought the majority of SSFL in 1996, has been caught doing the same thing again only this time, the numbers are even more staggering. Over 1,150 tons of radioactive waste was dumped in Class One landfills designed for chemical, not radioactive, disposal. About 568 tons of rad waste generated by Boeing during the teardowns and structural excavations went to Class Two industrial dumps also not used for radiation debris. So pervasive was this dumping that 242 tons ended up in Southern California municipal dumps.

Even more was recycled. Nearly 500 tons of metal were recycled into the commercial metal product stream. Over 2,400 tons of concrete and asphalt were recycled. That’s a lot of metal for kids’ braces and asphalt and concrete for them to play on sidewalks and at playgrounds.

A preliminary injunction against DTSC and the DPH for allowing the building demolition to take place without California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) review was granted and ordered December 11, 2013. “Petitioners contend the buildings remain contaminated with unacceptably high levels of radiation; demolition will release that radiation; release of radiation could harm the public and environment; and further harm to the public and environment could result if the debris is not disposed of in a facility licensed to receive low-level radioactive waste,” the order read. “Petitioners allege DTSC and DPH approved Boeing’s demolition and disposal activities without performing the environmental review required by CEQA.”

These are no ordinary buildings. They are some of the hottest of the hot in a place that had three partial meltdowns, a hot lab and a burning pool of radioactive sodium across a huge space in the middle of the DOE nuclear complex. It’s no wonder that nuclear workers in Area IV succeeded in getting compensation for the colossal amounts of radioactive contamination that they were exposed to, thanks to the efforts of Work Group panelist Bonnie Klea aka The Atomic Avenger.

Miska showed photos of the torn down buildings which begged credulity that anyone, even Boeing, would think these edifices and foundations could somehow be safe to recycle or dump in municipal landfills. Evidence of unsafe Boeing demolition was exposed by EnviroReporter.com in December 2012 giving good cause for concern over how sloppy the company’s contractors were allowed to be destroying these radiation facilities.

Boeing tore down Area IV Building 4005 which “managed” depleted and enriched uranium, according to multiple reports. The foundations were also dug up. Building 4005 had a hot history of trouble. A uranium fire released smoke throughout the building January 30, 1967 and a concrete pad was irradiated August 8, 1991 when radioactive oil from a hot exhaust duct dripped on it. Now the place has been torn up, recycled or dumped in places not meant for radioactive rubble.

  1. Another Simi Mom

    Wow. The report above was a house rocker.

    Michael is correct and Dan is correct.

    I can only add one point:

    DTSC’s employees and management cannot be trusted.

    DTSC has a history of approving “dead of night” removals of depleted uranium contaminated soil from the Whittaker Bermite site in Saugus, CA, which served to economically benefit the former property owner, Whittaker Corporation of Simi Valley. The DU contaminated soil had been sitting on the Bermite property for roughly 20 years, held down in large part by a fairly dense brush cover which grew after ammunition testing work at Bermite stopped.

    In that circumstance DTSC’s Project Manager approved a contractor hired by Whittaker (a) digging up the DU contaminated soil, (b) placing it in unmarked trucks which were supposed to be covered, but observers said in many cases were not and (c) hauling the DU contaminated soil out of the Santa Clarita Valley in the dead of night, taken through the City of Las Vegas without any notice to that city or the Nevada Highway Patrol and (d) disposed of in Utah.

    In planning and approving that process DTSC chose not to notify the public in the Santa Clarita Valley, not to notify the school district whose high school the DU laden trucks were passing, not to formally notify the City of Santa Clarita (other than by whispers in the ear of a friendly city staffer.)

    In planning and approving that process, DTSC did not comply with CEQA and moved heaven and earth to keep its plans secret until after the statute of limitations to challenge the plans in court had passed.

    In planning and approving that process the DTSC asked for input from the L.A. County Health Department, which sent a list of conditions on the “dig up and drive away” which would have protected the public health…but DTSC just ignored those comments.

    The “public” in Santa Clarita noticed when they started seeing a whole lot of tractor trailer lights on the Bermite property at night. Locals couldn’t get DTSC to admit was going on, but California DPH ratted them out after 300 double truck loads of the DU contaminated soil had been hauled away in the dead of night.

    The DTSC was unapologetic about what it had done, citing a provision in a 2002 Order it had issued to Whittaker Corporation which said that DTSC could order Whittaker to take action “in an emergency”. Some emergency. The DU contaminated soil had been sitting on the Bermite property for 20 years.

    Never trust DTSC employees or managers. Even if DTSC has signed a piece of paper. There’s an old expression “you can’t estop the public, or contract away the police power” which means, in English, that the DTSC can change its mind on any issue, unless some court has issued an order or judgment against them.

Lindsay Lohan

Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImage

Just days after Lindsay Lohan was arrested for an alleged hit and run, the Liz & Dick star was rushed to a New York City emergency room for a respiratory problem Sunday night.

The actress, who suffered complications due to asthma, was "treated and released, and is doing fine," Lohan's rep tells E! News.

Lindsay's father, Michael Lohan, told the New York Daily News this isn't the first time the starlet has had significant issues with asthma, saying, "She's fine, but she had a bad case of asthma as a kid, so she has to take these things seriously. When she was a kid, we almost lost her a couple of times because of the asthma."

Michael said a lung infection had been bothering Lindsay for weeks prior to her hospitalization.

This makes a GREAT broth. In fact you can double the broth and freeze it. This soup has so much flavor!! It seriously has no calories - OK it does the same as 9 Lifesavers or 5 Jelly Bellies. I'm not kidding. You can substitute different vegetables and it's great when you puree the 2 cups of vegetables from the stock too. You can leave the pasta out if you want. The garnish of basil and cheese make it look even yummier. I can't believe I made this after saving the recipe for 11 years. I was worried about the Light part. So glad I didn't miss out on this keeper.

This was just okay- not the flavorful veggie soup I was hoping for. I'll keep looking for a great recipe .

WOW! used whatever veggies I had left in the fridge pre shopping day. Followed the instructions to a T. Heeded the advice to add some pureed veggies. Best soup I have ever had.

This soup is really delicious. I replaced the peas with 1 cup kidney beans. Also, I pureed 1 of the cups of reserved broth vegetables before adding it to enhance the soup's texture. Even though the broth did take a long time to make, it wasn't difficult and it was definitely tasty.

If you are going to make double and freeze it, don't add the pasta until you divide it. It will be better to add the pasta when you reheat.

Add mustard, cayenne, and salt and pepper to taste and simmer sauce, whisking occasionally, until thickened, about 2 minutes.
    3. In a kettle of salted boiling water cook macaroni until just al dente, about 7 minutes, and drain well. In a large bowl stir together macaroni, sauce, Cheddar, and 1 cup Parmesan and transfer to prepared dish.
    4. In a small bowl stir together bread crumbs and remaining 1/3 cup Parmesan and sprinkle evenly over macaroni. Cut remaining 1 tablespoon butter into bits and scatter over topping.
    5. Bake macaroni in middle of oven 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden and bubbling.

I cooked this yesterday (WTH SOME CHANGES) and it came out fine but... Many other comments here focused on issues with dryness. I did not seem to have the same problem with dryness that others spoke of, so I thought I'd share my changes that seemed to counter dryness. First, the recipe calls for a ¿3 to 4 quart baking dish¿ I used a 2 quart baking dish. (specifically, I used an 8 inch x 11.5 inch x 2 inch glass baking dish) Second, the recipe calls for ¿1 pound elbow macaroni¿ Not having elbow macaroni on hand, I used one box of Rotini (specifically, the box was 13.25 oz /375 grams whole grain ROTINI) The quantity of mix comfortably filled the baking dish and I did not have any issues with the mix bubbling over in the oven. The lesser quantity of pasta probably did help quell ¿dryness¿, but I think (more importantly) that my choice of a 2 quart (2 liter) baking dish (rather than the recipe-specifed 3-4 quart dish) forced the pasta mix to nearly fill the full 2 inch depth of the dish. The thicker (two inch) bed of pasta that I had was probably less prone to drying out than if I had used the larger dish specified in the recipe. (the larger pan would have given more surface area to the mix, allowing it to dry out faster. Also, in a larger pan the mix would have also only been about 1 or 1.5 inches thick and hence would 'cook through' quicker than the deeper quantity of mix in the dish that I used. Regarding time in the oven, I did not specifically time the cook, but I do remember that the crumb topping was slightly toasted in color, and the edges of the pan were starting to bubble¿probably about 40 minutes.

This is my favorite mac & cheese recipe. I usually add an extra cup of shredded cheese and use different combinations like the four cheese or cheddar and Monterey jack bagged blends I often add chopped left over baked ham. Recently added a bag of birds eye frozen southwest veggies (black beans, corn, onions and peppers) delish! Often make without the breadcrumb topping and just sprinkle top with more shredded cheese to prevent exposed mac from getting crunchy. Best to cook and serve... reheated is not as good as you get separation of the oil/butter and less creaminess.

Easy recipe comes out great every time. I change the cheeses up to create variety in flavor.

This mac and cheese had a great texture. It wasn't too hard of a a texture as some recipes can be & not at all runny --it was perfect. The flavor was great too. I added plenty of salt to my pasta cooking water and seasoned the sauce well which I think is key in a recipe --to properly season it. We liked the slight kick from the cayenne pepper. This recipe measures up to a similar mac & cheese that I had tasted at a southern themed casual wedding reception a few years ago. I'll be using this recipe again and again.

a crowd favorite all the time - I add frozen peas and diced ham and whatever shredded cheese I have on on

Not Bad. This is a basic Pimm's Cup. However, it can be improved by adding sliced and diced cucumber instead of just peel and by adding some more fruit, such as strawberry, kiwi, and orange.

H‑II, 2.5.1 Criteria for admitting such amendments - Guidelines for Examination

2.5.1 Criteria for admitting such amendments

Decision G 7/93 dealt with the criteria to be applied when examining the admissibility of late-filed amendments in examination. The particular case to which that decision relates arose when the rules were differently formulated, and in a situation where the applicant had already given his consent to the version proposed by the Examining Division. However, what was said by the Enlarged Board in that case can be considered generally applicable to new requests put forward at a late stage of the proceedings, i.e. when the applicant has already had at least one opportunity to amend the application and the Examining Division has already completed substantive examination of the application (see T 1064/04).

In particular, applying the principles of G 7/93 to amendments filed in response to the communication under Rule 71(3) (see C‑V, 1 to 3) means that this communication does not constitute an opportunity for the applicant to call into question the outcome of the earlier procedure. In deciding whether to admit such amendments, a balance must be struck between the applicant's interest in obtaining a patent which is valid in all of the designated states and the EPO's interest in bringing the examination procedure to a close by the issue of a decision to grant the patent. At this stage of the proceedings, the substantive examination has already been completed and the applicant has had the opportunity to amend the application and therefore normally only those amendments which do not appreciably delay the preparations for grant of the patent will be admitted under Rule 137(3). It is, however, appropriate to admit separate sets of claims for one or more designated States that made a reservation under Art. 167(2) EPC 1973 (see H‑III, 4.4) or for which prior national rights exist (see H‑III, 4.5).

The rejection of amendments proposed by the Examining Division in a Rule 71(3) communication which have been introduced without prior consultation and agreement of the applicant (C‑V, 1.1) does not amount to a request for amendment to which discretion under Rule 137(3) applies.

What Is The Best Scar Taping Method?

Q:  Hi Dr. Eppley I want to get your opinion on what to do with scars after surgery. Specifically, in regards to the use of a taping method. I know there are a lot of creams out there but the use of tape just makes more sense to me. I have read about two different taping materials, silicone sheeting or strips and something called micropore tape. Which one do you think is better?

A:  Yours is not the first such question that I have ever heard about the use of different taping methods. Specifically, can micropore tape or any other similar adhesive tape be just as effective as silicone sheets or tapes in helping scars look better? From a proven standpoint, I should say that  silicone scar sheets are the only FDA-approved methods for the treatment of scars. This means that enough evidence and documentation has been provided by certain manufacturers that has clinically shown that it works. Silicone has a long clinical history of success in the management of surgery scars The molecular composition of silicone has a parallel position as one of the most inert biological materials known to man. This allows it to have minimal irritation to the skin with long-term use. As silicone also has a semi-occlusive  property, it allows for scar hydration which has been shown to be helpful in minimizing undesired collagen production.

Micropore tape is appealing, however, because it is an easy taping that may be less expensive and more convenient. Manufactures of silicone-based tapes would no doubt tell you that there is no proven effectiveness of micropore tape and that it may, in fact, lead to skin reactions because it is too constrictive and does not permit hydration of the skin. The lack of FDA-approval is true but I have yet to have a patient that has developed a skin reaction problem with micropore tape, which is my preferred method of scar taping.

 The debate between these two taping methods may continue but doing some form of scar management, if possible, is probably better than no method in many cases. In select cases, it could be beneficial to avoid the need for a later scar revision and is very helpful as a postoperative scar revision topical treatment.

Course #: W716

Time: 9 a.m. - Noon

Location: Erikson Institute

Cost: $90.00

Credit Available: 0.3 CEUs; 3 SWCEUs; Approved by Illinois Early Intervention Training Program for 3 contact hours in the area of Working with Families

Families headed by gay and lesbian parents often feel underserved by, or even invisible to, child care and school systems. In order to create a healthy home-school connection and properly include all children, care providers and teachers must become better informed about the wide range of variables that impact gay and lesbian parents and their children. Moreover, it is important that child development professionals accurately understand current research in the developmental and educational outcomes of children from gay- and lesbian-headed households, and to consider these research findings in the context of their work. Together participants will consider changes in their practice that can be easily made in order for all children and their families to feel safe and fully included.

Bonnar can cash in with win over Silva

Surprise! Stephan Bonnar was officially retired when he got the call from UFC to fight Anderson Silva. AP Photo/Jeff Chiu

Conventional wisdom suggests that Stephan Bonnar, who last fought in November 2011 and spent the past few months contemplating retirement, has nothing to lose against middleweight champion Anderson Silva at UFC 153.

There’s no title on the line, the bout will be contested at light heavyweight and Silva’s physical skills so far exceed what Bonnar has to offer that oddsmakers have the Brazilian opening as a 13-1 favorite.

Bonnar will enter the Oct. 13 bout in Rio de Janeiro on a three-fight win streak. Those victories, however, have come against middle-of-the-pack competitors Kryzstof Soszynski, Igor Pokrajac and Kyle Kingsbury.

Silva on the other hand has won 16 straight and doesn’t know the taste of losing inside the Octagon. Fighters on his destruction list include Chael Sonnen, Forrest Griffin, Rich Franklin, Dan Henderson, Nate Marquardt and Vitor Belfort.

By all measures this main-event fight is being viewed as nothing more than an exhibition. For Bonnar, however, it’s anything but.

This is as real a fight as any Bonnar has ever participated in, and regardless of conventional wisdom he is going in to it determined to give everything his 35-year-old body can muster.

Bonnar is a prideful man. He has given much of his body to the professional fight game for nearly 11 years.

He definitely has something to lose. If this is his final fight, Bonnar doesn’t want to be embarrassed. But more important, he has a lot gain with an impressive performance or better yet -- the unthinkable -- a victory.

“I’m going to do my best,” Bonnar told ESPN.com. “It’s so hard to top the Forrest fight after all those years. It’s a great storybook in and of itself, but what’s my storybook ending?

“I beat Anderson Silva and it’s like the perfect ending. What’s going to top that? Nothing! But after I beat Anderson Silva, if I want to fight again I’ll be given a fight that I can make a lot of money off of. Do I end my career on a storybook ending or keep fighting and get rich? That’s a great problem to have.”

Bonnar and Griffin fought in the Season 1 finale of "The Ultimate Fighter." That bout, which was held in April 2005, has been credited with catapulting UFC into the mainstream.

Griffin won that fight, and their August 2009 rematch, by unanimous decision. Despite suffering the two losses, Bonnar campaigned hard the past year trying to land a third fight with Griffin. His repeated attempts to convince UFC president Dana White to name him and Griffin as "TUF" coaches were unsuccessful.

But an upset of Silva, which would rank among the biggest upsets -- along with boxing’s Mike Tyson-James "Buster" Douglas and Sonny Liston-Cassius Clay -- in combat sports history, would open numerous opportunities to Bonnar.

“I’m going in there [against Silva] to win or die trying,” Bonnar said. “That’s the plan.

“If I beat Anderson I won’t have too much of a problem getting that coaching gig with a fighter like Forrest. I just heard that in the history of UFC I’m the biggest underdog they’ve ever had. And I’m fighting in his backyard. Talk about no pressure, it doesn’t get any better.”

There is some pressure, however. Not the kind that comes from fan expectations, there is little of that. The only issue as far as an overwhelming majority of fans are concerned is how many rounds will Bonnar last against Silva?

This fight represents Bonnar’s final chance to cash in on a mixed martial arts career that began in November 2001. It’s now or never. That’s pressure. Bonnar won’t get another chance to hit the jackpot if he doesn’t, at the very least, deliver a respectable performance.

He has years of hard work, blood, sweat and tears riding on this fight against arguably the best mixed martial artist ever -- and it is proving to be a bit nerve-racking.

“Fear is a great motivator and so is money,” Bonnar said. “I’ve got this T-shirt business and all that. It’s doing all right, but I’d really love to blow that up and make it successful.

“And winning this fight would be the easiest way to do that.”

Is Brian Kelly a villain?

It took less than one game into his second year at Notre Dame for Brian Kelly to draw the inevitable bull's-eye that comes with coaching the nation's most polarizing program.

Yes, a season-opening loss to South Florida, which was beginning its 11th season as an FBS program, was seen as unforgivable. But what really brought attention to South Bend, Ind., after one week was what happened on the sideline, as Kelly lost his temper on several occasions, turning purple in the face with anger and becoming fodder for national analysts and opposing fan bases after the Irish's five-turnover showing.

The National Catholic Register had strong words for Kelly's actions. During ESPN's "College GameDay" broadcast the following week, a fan in the Michigan crowd held up a picture of Kelly at his worst from a week before, with the admittedly funny caption: "UMad Bro?"

Kelly, for his part, admitted afterward that he needed to do a better job of knowing that the camera is on him at all times. Then came a fourth-quarter collapse at the Big House -- a game that featured five more turnovers -- and, well, who with a rooting interest in Notre Dame wasn't turning all sorts of different colors in the face after two early unthinkable losses doomed preseason expectations?

As the Sporting News' Matt Hayes wrote after the game:

If I’m Brian Kelly, you know what I say?

@#$! you.

You want to coach this schizophrenic Notre Dame team? See how far you get without uttering a four-letter bomb.

The day Kelly becomes Ward Cleaver is the day Notre Dame looks for another coach. Until then, he’ll keep doing everything he can to win games – while on the sideline watching the unfathomable follow the unreal.

All of it against his Irish.

Kelly isn't the first football coach to get mad on the sideline and he won't be the last. He ended up going the rest of the season without any sideline dust-ups like the ones in the opener -- even if his team's performances in losses to USC and Florida State gave him every reason to -- and he is generally as media savvy as any college football coach around. When I asked readers for their opinions on Kelly's demeanor earlier this year, the response was overwhelmingly one-sided: We don't care, so long as he wins games.

The pressures of any college head-coaching job is a stress none of us can imagine. Throw in the circumstances at Notre Dame -- with alumni and fans spread all over the nation, huge expectations despite a mediocre recent history and many more restrictions than other power schools -- and it's easy to see why one can lose his cool every now and then.

At Notre Dame, everything is bigger. You'll probably get too much blame for losing and, as we've seen in the past year, you'll get too much criticism for the way you handle yourself on game day. But, as we learned in the early years of Charlie Weis, that works the other way, too. Win games, and the narrative changes: Notre Dame's coach becomes the villain for an entirely different reason.

Scottie Wilbekin back on team

GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Gators coach Billy Donovan has reinstated junior point guard Scottie Wilbekin after a three-game suspension for violating team rules.

Wilbekin had inherited the starting point guard job after Erving Walker graduated.

But Donovan announced on Nov. 8 -- one day before the Gators played Georgetown in the Navy-Marine Corps Classic aboard the USS Bataan at Mayport Naval Station -- that Wilbekin was suspended indefinitely.

Donovan would not give a reason for the suspension, other than to say it was not because of any criminal or NCAA issues.

The 6-foot-2 Wilbekin will not start Saturday's game against Middle Tennessee in Tampa, Fla.

Wilbekin sat out the Georgetown game, which was canceled at halftime because of condensation on the court, and the 10th-ranked Gators' victories over Alabama State and Wisconsin.

Wilbekin had averaged 1.6 assists and 2.5 per game in his first two seasons as the primary backup to Walker, who left as the school's all-time assists leader.

Wagner, Gold lead US at Team Trophy

Updated: March 20, 2013, 6:08 PM ET
Associated Press

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Ashley Wagner and Gracie Gold will lead an eight-member U.S. squad at the World Team Trophy event April 11-14 in Tokyo.

Wagner and Gold secured a third spot for the United States at next year's Winter Olympics by finishing fifth and sixth, respectively, at last week's world championships.

Also on the team are Max Aaron and Jeremy Abbott in the men's competition, Marissa Castelli and Simon Shnapir in pairs, and Madison Chock and Evan Bates in ice dance.

The World Team Trophy features the six best figure skating teams of the 2012-13 season, and also will include Canada, China, France, Japan and Russia. Each skater receives points based on placements in the short program/dance and free skate/dance. The points are across the four disciplines and the highest point total wins.

ISU head: Complaint needs evidence

SAITAMA, Japan -- International Skating Union president Ottavio Cinquanta said he hasn't received a formal complaint from South Korea over the judging of the women's figure skating competition at the Sochi Olympics.

Officials at the Korean Olympic Committee and the Korea Skating Union this week said they are preparing a formal complaint about the judging, which resulted in Yuna Kim finishing with the silver medal last month.

"As soon as we receive something official from the Korean Skating Union or the Korean Olympic Committee, we will comment," Cinquanta said Thursday in Japan, where he is attending the World Figure Skating Championships.

South Korean fans were outraged when Yuna Kim was denied a second straight Olympic figure skating gold medal and blamed questionable judging. Kim, the 2010 Olympic champion, finished second behind Russian teenager Adelina Sotnikova. Federation officials responded to the furor during the Sochi Games by defending the scores and the judges.

KSU officials said they are gathering necessary documents and materials. Cinquanta did say any protests would have to be backed up by hard evidence.

"Opinion and criticism is one thing," Cinquanta said. "But when there is criticism based on wrongdoing, it needs to be presented with evidence."

A joint statement by the two Korean organizations last week said the judging was "unreasonable and unfair." The statement said the two organizations want to "formalize unfairness of the judging" and prevent South Korean figure skaters and other athletes from suffering "unfairness" in judging.

Cinquanta again defended the ISU's judging system.

"The judges are experts, they take part in seminars, they know a lot and we have given them a video replay system," Cinquanta said. "We are working very hard to give the skaters the number of points they deserve but we are not perfect and mistakes are possible, just as with the skaters mistakes are possible because we are human beings. But the best human beings we can use are those seated at the events."

In response to a question on whether he sent a letter to ISU staff suggesting such radical changes as dropping the short program of figure skating and eliminating some long track speedskating events at the Olympics, Cinquanta would say only that such proposals have been suggested.

"In regard to the short program, this is part of a wider innovation touching on many aspects of the ISU, not just figure skating," Cinquanta said. "But we are unable now to give a precise response because we have not obtained the advice of the advisory boards yet."

Cinquanta did say that both figure skating and speedskating need to change with the times to keep fans and sponsors happy.

The Dutch energy supplier Essent said it would end its longstanding backing of speedskating after the Sochi Games.

"We are working with the technical committee to be in line with modern expectations," Cinquanta said. "We can't continue with a system used 100 years ago. It is our commitment to deliver the very best of our activity."

Mark Emmert 'happy to help' with playoff

BATON ROUGE, La. -- NCAA president Mark Emmert said Wednesday that he's willing to help create a playoff format to decide a national championship for the top level of college football.

However, that won't happen unless the leaders of institutions fielding teams in the NCAA's Football Bowl Subdivision want to make such a change after contracts with the current Bowl Championship Series expire in 2014.

"If the leadership of those universities ... want to move in that direction, then the NCAA knows how to run championships and we'd be happy to help," Emmert said while speaking at the Rotary Club of Baton Rouge, of which he was a member while serving as LSU's chancellor from 1999-2004.

Emmert stopped short of endorsing a playoff, saying that the NCAA also sees value in the bowl system, particularly the way it expands opportunities for athletes to participate in postseason play.

"We had 35 bowls this year, some of which were big and some of which were small, but the one thing I know about every one of them is, 70 teams loved playing in them," Emmert said. "Kids love playing bowl games. Schools love participating in bowl games and everybody knows that, so it's finding that right balance that I think is going to be challenging."

While Emmert likely won't be dealing substantively with the possibility of a football playoff for a few years, he has been presented with a number of immediate challenges since assuming the NCAA's top post a little more than five months ago.

He has taken a lot of criticism concerning the NCAA's handling of the Cam Newton matter, and college athletics has been generating a number of other negative off-the-field headlines concerning players receiving improper benefits, improper contact between players and agents as well as recruiting violations and even trouble with the law.

Now one of his immediate challenges is ensuring the NCAA maintains credibility with the public.

"The integrity of the collegiate model of athletics right now is challenged in lots of ways," Emmert said. "Any time you've got high-profile, controversial cases, people walk away scratching their head and we had some of those this year. We have to be clear about what our values are, what we're trying to promote, how we go about our business."

New rules are in the works that would deal with what Emmert referred to as "third parties," which could apply to parents, agents or any other associate looking to profit from a relationship with a college athlete.

In Newton's case, the third party was his father, Cecil, who, according to NCAA findings, sought $180,000 from Mississippi State for his son's commitment out of junior college before Cam Newton instead went to Auburn, where he won the Heisman Trophy this season and led the Tigers to a national title.

The NCAA did not punish Cam Newton for the violation his father committed because it said it found no evidence that the player or Auburn knew about Cecil Newton's pay-for-play scheme.

Only months before the Newton scandal, Southern California lost scholarships and was hit with a two-season bowl ban after an NCAA probe found Reggie Bush, while still at USC, and his family received improper benefits from people who wanted to represent him after he turned pro. Soon after, Bush relinquished his claim to the 2005 Heisman Trophy.

When the 2010 college football season opened, LSU faced a North Carolina squad missing 13 players because a probe into improper contact between agents and players, as well as academic violations.

The NCAA has panels investigating a number of issues, Emmert said, including, "Why is it that student-athletes think they need an agent in that circumstance or a third party that's promoting them? How do those relationships get started?

"How do we give them the information they need to make a thoughtful decision instead of listening to someone who's whispering in their ear who may not necessarily have their best interest at heart?" he said.

How long it takes for those panel discussions to produce new rules remains to be seen.

"It's going to take us a while to get a clear set of proposals, but we've got a lot of people who are interested in it," Emmert said. "Everybody understands that this is a serious problem in football and basketball."

Taylor fearing for Plymouth

Professional Footballers' Association chief executive Gordon Taylor has told ESPNsoccernet he is now fearing the worst for Plymouth Argyle.

Plymouth, relegated to League Two last season, are currently in administration and some of the club's players have not received their wages since December last year.

The PFA has helped to subsidise the wages, but a number of players recently threatened to go on strike and manager Peter Reid said he "wouldn't hold anything against" them if they did so.

With talk of a potential takeover dragging on, Taylor has warned that club could go out of business if there are no developments in the coming weeks.

He told ESPNsoccernet: "The players have been without full pay for some time now, and we are helping out, but we cannot do that indefinitely.

"It is not a good situation, I have to say. The players have been paid 40% of their August monies but if this situation persists until the end of September then it looks bleak. There have been suggestions of a takeover but that has not materialised and you have to worry why that is.

"This is a club that helped shape the careers of Malcolm Allison and Tony Book as well as Paul Mariner and other players, so it would be very sad if Plymouth went under. We are doing our best to make sure that doesn't happen but I do now fear for the club."

Arrested Development: The Instant Trailer Review

Most Popular

The Show: Arrested Devlopment, season four

The Release Date: May 26, 2013; 12:01 a.m. PDT on Netflix

The Hype: "The Bluths are back"; "Clear your calendars, brush off your cutoffs, and queue up 'The Final Countdown.'"

The Setup: On the next Arrested Development... Seven years after escaping aboard the C-Word, Michael is starting over in Phoenix with his patented naive optimism in tow. Meanwhile, George Michael is still chasing Maeby, Buster is still broken — emotionally and otherwise — Tobias and Lindsey are still dysfunctional, Gob is still a cad, and Lucille remains the best worst mom in television. It seems like the Bluths haven't changed one bit. And like a vulture in the desert, maybe that's not a great sign.

What You Should Expect to See: Familiar faces, horrible parenting, cars with stairs, banana stands, magic tricks, juice boxes, breakdowns, breakthroughs, a little incest, and everything else fans loved about the first three seasons. Also, an ostrich.

What You Should Not: Okay, maybe not everything. Saddam Hussein is dead, after all. And William Hung doesn't hold nearly as much cultural significance as he did in 2004.

Likelihood You'll Actually See It: Americans born after 1982: watching the entire season Memorial Day weekend. Everybody else: probably going to the beach.

OPTIMA: Optimisation   for Sustainable
Water Resources Management
Basin Tour PowerPoint Presentation Stakeholders and Institutions WaterWare application Scanned Maps GIS data

Case Study: Gediz River, TURKEY

The Gediz River Basin, neighbouring the city of Izmir and discharging into the outer bay, is characterized by water shortage and competition for water among mainly irrigation with a total command area of 110,000 ha versus the domestic and fast growing industrial demand in the coastal zone, and environmental pollution as well as recurrent droughts. Overall supply of water for various uses is currently approximately equal to the overall demand. Thus, water allocation for growing demands has to be optimized among various competing water uses under environmental as well as institutional, legal, social, and economic constraints. Izmir is the third largest city in the country and an important harbour along the Aegean. The Izmir metropolitan area, continuously growing, consumes a significant portion of the groundwater resources of the Gediz Basin.

The seaward fringe of the Gediz Delta is an important nature reserve and has recently been designated as a Ramsar site to protect rare bird species. Due to irrigation demands, the reserve suffers from water shortages. A second component of environmental demand is the water needed for waste conveyance to the sea, requiring some minimum flow. There is a good number of creeks that discharge directly into the inner Bay, causing significant pollution problems and flooding due to recent land use changes (primarily urbanization), which exerts considerable pressure on the water resource system in general.

The primary issues in the case study are water shortage, competing use, and high levels of pollution that are typical for the coastal zone and its rapid economic development. The linkage between the physical constraints and the institutional and policy shortcoming are among the the main topics. An optimization approach is required to solve problems of water shortage and competing uses of natural resources under physical, institutional, legal, social, and economic constraints. The end user group includes the State Hydraulic Works (DSI), Ministry of Environment (MoE), Metropolitan Municipality of Izmir (MMI), other local governments in the Gediz River Basin, General Directorate of Rural Services (GDRS), irrigation associations (IAs), other irrigators, industries, Bank of Provinces (IB), and NGOs.

Iowa soybean farmers continue to lead nation

Strong yields should bolster consumer confidence, demand

January 11, 2013
Iowa Soybean Association , Estherville Daily News

Ankeny Despite weathering one of the driest growing seasons on record, Iowa soybean farmers continue to lead the nation in soybean production.

Friday's U.S. Department of Agriculture's crop production report offered final numbers for the 2012 crop. Iowa soybean farmers led the nation with an estimated 413.8 million bushels produced last year. Per-acre soybean production in Iowa for 2012 totaled 44.5 bushels, down from last year's total of 51.5 bushels, but still strengthening from November's call for 44 bushels per acre.

"These yields truly are a testament to Iowa soybean farmers," said Mark Jackson, Iowa Soybean Association president, in response to the report. "After going through this year's dry weather, our yields were down less than 5 percent from a normal year and that should bode well for our customers' confidence. It shows our farmers can continue to meet their needs, no matter what Mother Nature brings our way."

According to the USDA World Agricultural Supply Demand Estimates report, also released Friday, U.S. soybean production in 2012 totaled 3.01 billion bushels, making it the seventh largest soybean crop on record. National average yields were estimated at 39.6 bushels per acre.

The projected range for the 2012/2013 season-average soybean prices was lowered 30 cents at the midpoint and narrowed to $13.50 to $15 per bushel.

U.S. corn production was estimated at 10.8 billion bushels, 13 percent below 2011. The average U.S. yield in was estimated at 123.4 bushels per acre. The WASDE projected corn ending stocks at 602 million bushels, while the season-average farm price for corn is unchanged at $6.80 to $8 per bushel.

"Livestock farmers are still feeling the pinch of higher prices for their feed and I definitely can attest to that, but we're definitely working smarter," said Jackson who farms near Rose Hill and raises soybean and corn and also custom feeds hogs. "With so much market volatility and competition from places raising soybeans such as South America, farmers are definitely learning how to look at the whole system and make marketing a priority."

Demand for U.S. soybeans, soybean oil and soybean meal continues to be strong.

The WASDE report estimated higher domestic soybean meal consumption and increased soybean meal exports. U.S. soybean export estimates remained at 1.345 billion bushels and 2012/13 soybean ending stocks were projected at 135 million bushels, up 5 million from last month.

"U.S. meat production is expected to increase in 2013 for pork, beef, broiler and turkey. That means strong demand for soybean meal domestically, and the cash basis should remain strong due to positive crush margins for processors with strong meal and oil demand," said Grant Kimberley, ISA director of market development. "In addition, soybean oil demand should grow due to the reinstatement of the biodiesel tax credit and a 280 million gallon increase to the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS-2) up to 1.280 billion gallons. The tax credit could actually mean that biodiesel demand could go as high as 1.7 billion gallons."

Kimberley added that international demand should remain strong in places like China for whole beans and soybean meal continues to garner strong global demand.
