Illinois Architecture Practice Act of 1989, as a structural engineer under the
Structural Engineering Practice Act of 1989, or as a Professional Land Surveyor

(b) Any professional design firm seeking to be registered pursuant to the
provisions of this Section shall not be registered unless one or more managing
agents in charge of land surveyor activities in this State are designated by
the professional design firm. Each managing agent must at all times maintain a
valid, active license to practice professional land surveying in Illinois.
No individual whose license to practice professional land surveying in this
State is currently in a suspended or revoked state shall act as a managing
agent for a professional design firm.
(c) Any business seeking to be registered under this Section shall make
application on a form provided by the Department and shall provide such
information as requested by the Department, which shall include, but not be
limited to:

(3) a list of all office locations at which the
professional design firm provides professional land surveying services to the public; and
(4) a list of all assumed names of the business.
Nothing in this Section shall be construed to exempt a professional design firm, sole proprietorship, or professional service corporation from compliance with the requirements of the Assumed Business Name Act.
It is the responsibility of the professional design firm to provide the
Department notice, in writing, of any changes in the information requested on
the application.
(d) The Department shall issue to each business a certificate of
registration to practice professional land surveying or offer the services of
its licensees in this State upon submittal of a proper application for
registration and payment of fees. The expiration date and renewal period for

(e) In the event a managing agent is terminated or terminates his or her
status as
managing agent of the professional design firm, the managing agent and
a professional design firm shall notify the Department of this fact in writing,
by certified mail, within 10 business days of such termination. Thereafter,
the professional design firm, if it has so informed the Department, shall have
30 days in which to notify the Department of the name and licensure number of
a newly designated managing agent. If a corporation, the corporation shall
also submit a certified copy of a resolution by the board of directors
designating the new managing agent. If a limited liability company, the
company shall also submit a certified copy of either its articles of
organization or operating agreement designating the new managing agent. The
Department may, upon good cause shown, extend the original 30 day period.
If the professional design firm has not notified the Department in writing,
by certified mail within the specified time, the registration shall be
terminated without prior hearing. Notification of termination shall be sent by
certified mail to the address of record of the business. If the professional
design firm continues to operate and offer professional land surveyor services
after the termination, the Department may seek prosecution under Sections 27,
43, and 16.5 of this Act for the unlicensed practice of professional land
No professional design firm shall be relieved of responsibility for the
conduct or acts of its agent, employees, members, managers, or officers by
of its compliance with this Section, nor shall any individual practicing
professional land surveying be relieved of the responsibility for professional
services performed by reason of the individual's employment or relationship
with a professional design firm registered under this Section.
(g) Disciplinary action against a professional design firm registered under
this Section shall be administered in the same manner and on the same grounds
disciplinary action against a licensed professional land surveyor. All
disciplinary action taken or pending against a corporation or partnership
before the effective date of this amendatory Act of 1999 shall be continued or
remain in effect without the Department filing separate actions.

professional design firm offering land surveying
must have a
resident professional land surveyor whose license is not suspended or revoked overseeing the land surveying practices in each location
in which land surveying services are provided.

Grounds for disciplinary action.
(a) The Department may refuse to
issue or renew a license,
or may place on probation or administrative supervision, suspend, or revoke any license, or may reprimand or take any disciplinary or non-disciplinary action as the Department may deem proper, including the imposition of fines not to
exceed $10,000 per violation, upon any person, corporation, partnership, or professional land
surveying firm licensed or registered under this Act for any
of the following reasons:
(1) material misstatement in furnishing information
(2) violation, including, but not limited to, neglect
or intentional disregard, of this Act, or its rules;
(3) conviction of, or entry of a plea of guilty or
nolo contendere to, any crime that is a felony under the laws of the United States or any state or territory thereof or that is a misdemeanor of which an essential element is dishonesty, or any crime that is directly related to the practice of the profession;
(4) making any misrepresentation for the purpose of
obtaining a license, or in applying for restoration or renewal, or the practice of any fraud or deceit in taking any examination to qualify for licensure under this Act;
(5) purposefully making false statements or signing
false statements, certificates, or affidavits to induce payment;
(6) proof of carelessness, incompetence, negligence,
or misconduct in practicing land surveying;
(7) aiding or assisting another person in violating
any provision of this Act or its rules;
(8) failing to provide information in response to a
written request made by the Department within 30 days after receipt of such written request;
(9) engaging in dishonorable, unethical, or
unprofessional conduct of a character likely to deceive, defraud, or harm the public;
(10) inability to practice with reasonable judgment,
skill, or safety as a result of habitual or excessive use of, or addiction to, alcohol, narcotics, stimulants or any other chemical agent or drug;
(11) discipline by the United States government,
another state, District of Columbia, territory, foreign nation or government agency if at least one of the grounds for the discipline is the same or substantially equivalent to those set forth in this Act;
(12) directly or indirectly giving to or receiving
from any person, firm, corporation, partnership, or association any fee, commission, rebate, or other form of compensation for any professional services not actually or personally rendered;
(12.5) issuing a map or plat of survey where the fee
for professional services is contingent on a real estate transaction closing;
(13) a finding by the Department that an applicant or
licensee has failed to pay a fine imposed by the Department or a licensee whose license has been placed on probationary status has violated the terms of probation;
(14) practicing on an expired, inactive, suspended,
or revoked license;
(15) signing, affixing the Professional Land
Surveyor's seal or permitting the Professional Land Surveyor's seal to be affixed to any map or plat of survey not prepared by the Professional Land Surveyor or under the Professional Land Surveyor's direct supervision and control;
(16) inability to practice the profession with
reasonable judgment, skill, or safety as a result of physical illness, including, but not limited to, deterioration through the aging process or loss of motor skill or a mental illness or disability;
(17) (blank); or
(18) failure to adequately supervise or control land
surveying operations being performed by subordinates.
(a-5) In enforcing this Section, the Department or Board, upon a showing of a possible violation, may compel a person licensed to practice under this Act, or who has applied for licensure or certification pursuant to this Act, to submit to a mental or physical examination, or both, as required by and at the expense of the Department. The Department or Board may order the examining physician to present testimony concerning the mental or physical examination of the licensee or applicant. No information shall be excluded by reason of any common law or statutory privilege relating to communications between the licensee or applicant and the examining physician. The examining physicians shall be specifically designated by the Board or Department. The individual to be examined may have, at his or her own expense, another physician of his or her choice present during all aspects of the examination. Failure of an individual to submit to a mental or physical examination when directed shall be grounds for the immediate suspension of his or her license until the individual submits to the examination if the Department finds that the refusal to submit to the examination was without reasonable cause as defined by rule.
If the Secretary immediately suspends the license of a licensee for his or her failure to submit to a mental or physical examination when directed, a hearing must be convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and completed without appreciable delay.
If the Secretary otherwise suspends a person's license pursuant to the results of a compelled mental or physical examination, a hearing on that person's license must be convened by the Department within 15 days after the suspension and completed without appreciable delay. The Department and Board shall have the authority to review the subject individual's record of treatment and counseling regarding impairment to the extent permitted by applicable federal statutes and regulations safeguarding the confidentiality of medical records.
Any licensee suspended under this subsection (a-5) shall be afforded an opportunity to demonstrate to the Department or Board that he or she can resume practice in compliance with the acceptable and prevailing standards under the provisions of his or her license.
(b) The determination by a circuit court that a licensee is subject to
involuntary admission or judicial admission as provided in the Mental
Health and Developmental Disabilities Code, as
now or hereafter amended, operates as an automatic license suspension. Such
suspension will end only upon a finding by a court that the patient is no
longer subject to involuntary admission or judicial admission and the
issuance of an order so finding and discharging the patient and upon the
recommendation of the Board to the Director that the licensee be allowed to
resume his or her practice.
(c) (Blank).
(d) In cases where the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (formerly the Department of Public Aid) has previously determined that a licensee or a potential licensee is more than 30 days delinquent in the payment of child support and has subsequently certified the delinquency to the Department, the Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall revoke or suspend that person's license or shall take other disciplinary action against that person based solely upon the certification of delinquency made by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services in accordance with subdivision (a)(5) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS 2105/2105-15).
(e) The Department shall refuse to issue or renew or shall revoke or suspend a person's license or shall take other disciplinary action against that person for his or her failure to file a return, to pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or interest as required by any tax Act administered by the Department of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of the tax Act are satisfied in accordance with subsection (g) of Section 2105-15 of the Department of Professional Regulation Law of the Civil Administrative Code of Illinois (20 ILCS 2105/2105-15).

(a) If any person violates the provisions of this Act, the Secretary, in the name of the people of the State of Illinois, through the Attorney General or the State's Attorney of the county in which the violation is alleged to have occurred may petition for an order enjoining the violation or for an order enforcing compliance with this Act. Upon the filing of a verified petition, the court with appropriate jurisdiction may issue a temporary restraining order, without notice or bond, and may preliminarily and permanently enjoin the violation. If it is established that the person has violated or is violating the injunction, the court may punish the offender for contempt of court. Proceedings under this Section are in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies and penalties provided by this Act.
(a-5) Whenever, in the opinion of the Department, a person violates any provision of this Act, the Department may issue a rule to show cause why an order to cease and desist should not be entered against that person. The rule shall clearly set forth the grounds relied upon by the Department and shall allow at least 7 days from the date of the rule to file an answer satisfactory to the Department. Failure to answer to the satisfaction of the Department shall cause an order to cease and desist to be issued.

before refusing to issue, renew or restore, suspending or revoking any license
or registration, or imposing any other disciplinary action, at least 30
days prior to the date set for the hearing, notify the person accused in
writing of any charges made and shall direct the person or entity to file a
written answer to the Board under oath within 20 days after the service of the
notice and inform the person or entity that if the person or entity fails to
file an answer default will be taken and that the license or certificate may be
suspended, revoked, placed on probationary status, or other disciplinary action
may be taken, including limiting the scope, nature or extent of practice, as
the Secretary may deem proper. This written notice may be served by personal delivery
to the accused
person or entity or certified mail to the last address specified by the accused
person or entity in the last notification to the Department. In case the person
or entity fails to file an answer after receiving notice, his or her license or
certificate may, in the discretion of the Department, be suspended, revoked, or
placed on probationary status, or the Department may take whatever disciplinary
action deemed proper, including limiting the scope, nature, or extent of the
person's practice or the imposition of a fine, without a hearing, if the act or
acts charged constitute sufficient grounds for such action under this Act.
At the time and place fixed in the notice, the Board shall hear the charges and
the accused person or entity shall be accorded ample opportunity to present any
statements, testimony, evidence and argument as may be relevant to the charges
or their defense. The Board may continue the hearing from time to time.
The Department may from time to time employ individual land surveyors possessing the same minimum
qualifications as required for Board candidates to assist with its
investigative duties.
Persons who assist the Department as consultants or expert witnesses in
the investigation or prosecution of alleged violations of the Act,
licensure matters, restoration proceedings, or criminal prosecutions, are
not liable for damages in any civil action or proceeding as a result of
their assistance, except upon proof of actual malice. The

Compelling testimony.
Any circuit court may, upon
application of the Department or designee or of the applicant or licensee
against whom proceedings under this Act are pending, enter an
order requiring the attendance of witnesses and their testimony, and the
production of documents, papers, files, books, and records in connection
with any hearing or investigation. The court may compel obedience to its
order by proceedings for contempt.

finding whether or not the accused person violated this Act or failed to
comply with the conditions required in this Act. The Board shall specify
the nature of the violation or failure to comply, and shall make its
recommendations to the Secretary.
The report of findings and recommendations of the Board shall be the basis
for the Department's order unless the Secretary disagrees with the Board, in which case the Secretary may
issue an order in contravention of the Board report stating the reasons
for the order. The report, findings, and recommendations are not admissible in
evidence against the person in a criminal prosecution brought for the
violation of this Act, but the hearing and findings are not a bar to a
criminal prosecution brought for the violation of this Act.

Any person who delivers a check or other payment to the Department that
is returned to the Department unpaid by the financial institution upon

ATLANTA - Joe Johnson scored 25 points and the Atlanta Hawks beat the Denver Nuggets 109-91 on Monday night to close out an important homestand with a long-awaited milestone.
Atlanta completed an eight-game homestand, its longest of the season, with a 7-1 record, including five straight wins. Its only loss was to Boston.
The Hawks (20-10) reached 20 wins before New Year's Day for the first time since the 1987-88 season. Atlanta plays Tuesday at Indiana in its final game of 2008.
Seven teams won 20 games this season before the Hawks. Even relatively modest accomplishments are noteworthy in Atlanta, which won only 13 games in the 2004-05 season and made the playoffs last season for the first time since 1999.
The Hawks made 12 of 23 3-point attempts, including 5-of-6 by Mike Bibby, who had 20 points and nine assists. Al Horford had 16 points and 10 rebounds, and Flip Murray added 13 points.
Kenyon Martin led Denver with 19 points. Carmelo Anthony, who scored 32 points in the Nuggets' 117-110 victory at the New York Knicks on Sunday, had only half that total with 16 points on 4-for-17 shooting from the field.
Chauncey Billups and J.R. Smith each added 11 points for Denver.
There were 16 lead changes, but Denver's last lead was 64-63 early in the second half. Atlanta stretched its lead to double digits for the first time at 81-71 when Maurice Evans opened the fourth period with a 3-pointer.
The Nuggets, playing their second road game in two days, trailed only 54-53 at halftime but faded in the second half, when they were outscored 55-38.
Atlanta's winning streak is its longest since opening the season with six straight wins.

Deviled Stuffed CrabI so love stuffed crabs! My Mama almost always made these from freshly picked crabs and then stuffed the cleaned and sterilized crab shells as I have here, but most folks would just make these into patties, or put them in those aluminum crab shells, which is perfectly acceptable!
After coming home with a nice seafood 'to-go' bag that Mom & Dad sent us home with from all that yummy stuff we had for The Blessing of the Fleet well, I had some real crab shells, so I sure used them!
Just be sure if you're using real shells, to thoroughly clean the shells, cut off the eyes and antennae, rinse them with hot water and boil them for about 10-15 minutes, or bake at 350 for about 10 -15 minutes, to sterilize them. After I sterilized mine, I just stored them in the freezer until I needed them.
This recipe is the standard crab mix with some variations that I use to make crab patties for po'boys, stuffed shrimp, stuffed flounder, stuffed mushrooms and of course, crab cakes. Add a nice mixed garden salad and a green veggie to round it out. If you love crabmeat, but have never had stuffed crab, I do hope that you will try these. They are simply delicious.

Recipe: Deviled Stuffed Crab©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 40 min
Yield: About 8 crabs
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 1 medium onion, minced fine
- 1/4 cup of green bell pepper, minced fine
- 4 slices of white or white wheat bread, toasted
- 1 pound of fresh lump crabmeat
- 1 large egg
- Pinch of kosher salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon of freshly cracked black pepper, or to taste
- 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama)
- 1/2 teaspoon of Old Bay seasoning, or to taste
- Couple shakes of dried parsley
- Bread crumbs for topping, fresh or dried, optional
- 8 crab shells, optional
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the onion and green pepper; cook until softened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, toast the bread slices, sprinkle each piece with a good spray of water to wet them and set aside in a bowl. Let sit for about 2 minutes. Pick through the crabmeat to check for stray shell; set aside.
Squeeze out the bread and break it up. Add the egg to the bread and mix. Add the salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, Old Bay, parsley and sauteed onion and bell pepper; carefully turn until well mixed. Add the crab, mix gently and put into the crab shells or shape into 8 patties. Sprinkle with a small bit of bread crumbs, if desired.
Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 to 30 minutes, checking at 20 minutes, or until the stuffing sizzles and the tops begin to brown. If using plain patties, pan fry in butter until golden brown.
Cook's Notes: Can be shaped into patties and pan fried in butter, stuffed into crab shells, place into ramekins or rolled into boulettes and oven baked, used for flounder or shrimp stuffing, stuffed into mushroom caps or made into po'boys.
Tip: To easily pick out any shell, spread crab on a baking sheet in a single layer and place in a 200 degree oven for 3 minutes. The shell will be visible and easy to pick out.

Dashcam video released after cop admits to drinking
Officer cited for leaving the scene, careless driving
A hit-and-run accident accident involving a Sanford police officer over the weekend continues to cause controversy.
The officer, Stephan Santiago, was pulled over Sunday night and accused of hitting a car on U.S. Highway 17-92 and taking off down the road.
On Wednesday, the Florida Highway Patrol released dashcam video of the traffic stop after Santiago admitted her had been drinking.
"He did admit to drinking and admitting to the trooper is why he started with a crash investigation and switched over to criminal DUI investigation as we would do with any person," said FHP spokeswoman Kim Montes.
In the end, Santiago passed his field sobriety test and he was not charged with drunken driving.
"The trooper felt based on his evaluation in the interview stages of his crash investigation and him performing tests that he was not at an impaired level where he could be arrested," said Montes.
Santiago did receive a criminal citation for leaving the scene of a crash and a second citation for careless driving.
For anyone who thinks Santiago got preferential treatment, the FHP said the video speaks volumes.
"The video stands for itself," said Montes. "We conduct these investigations daily on people we think are under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Those tests have been around for years and it's a good indicator to tell us if someone is impaired. If someone passes whether you are a police officer or not you are not arrested."
Santiago is a six-year veteran of the Sanford Police Department as a traffic enforcement officer. He has been suspended with pay.

Take the HPV Myths vs. Facts Quiz
Dysplasia is the medical term for abnormal cells on the cervix caused by the HPV virus. If the abnormalities are mild and few in number, they usually go away without treatment. However, some cases of moderate dysplasia, and most cases of severe dysplasia, will not go away on their own. At this stage, the cells are considered "pre-cancer": In other words, if they are not found and treated, they could develop into cervical cancer.
Depending on the extent of abnormal cells present, dysplasia is categorized by healthcare professionals as:
Since high-risk types of HPV are the primary cause of dysplasia, anyone who has ever had intimate, skin-to-skin (genital) contact with a partner is at potential risk of developing the condition.
However, other factors may increase the likelihood that an HPV infection develops into pre-cancerous cells (and later, into cervical cancer):
Dysplasia does not have warning symptoms. If symptoms such as vaginal bleeding or low back pain occur, the condition may already have progressed to cervical cancer. That is why it is important to be screened regularly with a Pap and (if you're age 30 or older) the HPV test. (These symptoms may be caused by other conditions, so don't jump to conclusions! Consult with your doctor or nurse.)
Dysplasia usually does not have any symptoms. Thus, it is important to diagnose it through regular cervical cancer screening, including a regular Pap and (if you're age 30 or older) the HPV test. If your Pap is clearly abnormal, or if testing shows you have an HPV infection that isn't going away (determined by repeating the HPV test a year later), your doctor or nurse practitioner should perform an exam called a colposcopy to look at your cervix more closely. During the colposcopy, a biopsy, in which a sample of cervical tissue is removed for analysis, is often taken to help confirm whether dysplasia is present and whether it requires treatment. However, colposcopy is not foolproof. According to the American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP), several recent studies suggest that about one-third of less-extensive cases of CIN 2/3 are missed by colposcopy, with or without a biopsy. Thus, if the cervix appears normal during colposcopy, re-testing with an HPV test 12 months later (or with a Pap smear after six and 12 months) is recommended. If HPV continues to be present or the Pap remains abnormal, another colposcopy is a good idea.
If you have CIN 1, it is common to simply monitor your condition through screening – usually a repeat HPV test after a year. (Another option is to repeat the Pap test at six and 12 months.) That's because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 60 percent of CIN 1 cases go away on their own, without treatment. (In contrast, that's true for only 40 percent of CIN 2 cases.) If re-testing shows the HPV infection is still there, or if the Pap result is abnormal, the colposcopy exam should be repeated.
If, however, you have CIN 2 or CIN 3, there are several methods your physician or other healthcare provider may use to eliminate the abnormal cervical cells. These treatments fall into one of two general categories: "ablation" (in which the abnormal cells are vaporized or otherwise destroyed while still in the body) and "excision" (in which the cells are cut out with a scalpel or laser). Excisional procedures also allow a portion of tissue to be sent to a lab for later analysis (also called a biopsy).
Special note for young or pregnant women:
Adolescents (age 13-20) and young women. The consensus guidelines published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology state that in some cases, it is acceptable in this age group to delay treatment of CIN 2 for up to two years, while monitoring them carefully with colposcopy and Pap testing every six months. This is because girls of this age are at very low risk of developing cervical cancer.
Pregnant women. The consensus guidelines also state that unless invasive cancer is diagnosed, treatment and follow-up examinations should be delayed until at least six weeks after delivery.
Ablative treatments include:
Laser therapy:A tiny beam of high-intensity light is used to vaporize abnormal cells. The area and depth of treatment can be very precisely controlled.
Excisional treatments include:
LEEP (loop electrosurgical excision procedure): In probably the most widely performed dysplasia treatment, a fine wire loop, through which electrical energy flows, is used to remove abnormal tissue. It can be done as an outpatient, with local anesthesia.
"Cold-knife" or laser conization: A cone, or cylinder-shaped piece of the cervix, is removed with a laser or by cutting it out with a scalpel. This procedure is often done when more extensive tissue must be removed. Such procedures performed using a scalpel have a higher rate of complications than those done with a laser.
According to expert consensus guidelines published in the October 2007 issue of the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology, all of these treatments are equally effective in eliminating dysplasia and reducing the future risk of invasive cancer. However, excisional treatments are recommended for women who are being treated for recurrent (repeat) dysplasia (CIN).
Treatment of dysplasia is effective for most women – but not for everyone. Consensus guidelines published in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology (AJOG) report that the failure rate for dysplasia treatment is generally 5-15 percent. As a result, the incidence of invasive cervical cancer among women previously treated for dysplasia is substantially greater than in the general U.S. female population. Follow-up exams are essential. The American Society for Colposcopy and Cervical Pathology (ASCCP) recommends that HPV testing be repeated six to 12 months after treatment. If infection with a high-risk type of HPV is still present, says the ASCCP, a repeat colposcopy exam should be done. However, if testing shows the HPV infection is no longer active, you can return to your normal cervical cancer screening routine. Note that Pap testing also can be used for follow-up evaluation – one Pap six months after treatment and a second one six months after that. However, the AJOG guidelines state that "systematic reviews" have found that when used for post-treatment follow-up, the performance of HPV testing exceeds cytology (Pap testing).
Neither dysplasia nor its treatment will interfere with your ability to get pregnant. However, excisional treatments, such as LEEP and cold-knife conization, increase a woman's risk of experiencing pre-term labor, requiring a cesarean section and having a low-birth weight infant. (To date, most studies have not shown ablative treatments to be associated with these outcomes. However, a definitive conclusion cannot yet be made.) If you want to have children in the future, discuss these potential complications with your physician or other healthcare professional.
