Redknapp regrets Van Bommel snub
Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp regrets his decision to turn down the chance to sign Holland midfielder Mark van Bommel last month.
Spurs were offered Van Bommel in the January transfer window when Bayern Munich decided to allow the 33-year-old to leave six months before his contract expired. He opted instead to join AC Milan on a five-month deal as Redknapp mulled over whether signing the 33-year-old would be worthwhile.
"I could have took Van Bommel, it was probably a mistake - perhaps I should have taken him," Redknapp said.
"It was a difficult one and I dragged my heels with it. I took my time over it, too long and we didn't do it in the end.
"He would have been a good player for us. Tom (Huddlestone) has had a setback and Van Bommel was on a free, he has signed a five-month contract at AC Milan.
"He gives you experience, he's been there, played Champions League final, World Cup final. He is a proper player for sure but that's how it goes. We could go back for him."
Redknapp was only able to land Steven Pienaar and Bongani Khumalo in what was originally expected to be a busy transfer window for the club.
Chairman Daniel Levy made club record bids for Sergio Aguero and Giuseppe Rossi but neither deal went through and Redknapp watched on as rivals Chelsea spent £50million on Fernando Torres and Manchester City splashed £27million on Edin Dzeko.
Redknapp admits he was surprised at the fees that changed hands last month, but insists that Tottenham can keep up with their big-spending competitors in the market.
"I had a look at Dzeko last year and they were talking £50million and that was too dear, then suddenly he looks cheap at £27million," Redknapp said. "I think we can compete though. We have good players here - Gareth Bale is a £50million player. If you can find them they are out there."

Women who have ever smoked during their childbearing years have a significantly higher chance of miscarriage, stillbirth and ectopic pregnancy, research suggests.
The same study found that women exposed to passive smoking also have a higher chance of their pregnancy going wrong.
Researchers examined the link between smoke and pregnancy outcomes using historical data from more than 80,000 US women who had already gone through the menopause.
When compared with never-smoking women, those who were ever active smokers during their reproductive years had a 16% higher risk of miscarriage, 44% increased chance of stillbirth and 43% higher chance of ectopic pregnancy.
Meanwhile, those women who had never smoked but who had the highest exposure to secondhand smoke (such as being exposed to passive smoking for more than a decade as a child or for more than 10 years in a workplace) also had higher risks.
They were 17% more likely to miscarry, 55% more likely to give birth to a stillborn child, and 61% more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy.
The researchers found a dose-response relationship, with women who smoked the most or who were exposed to the highest levels of secondhand smoke having the highest risks.
Of the group, just over 5,000 of the women (6.3%) were current smokers, just under 35,000 (43%) were ex-smokers − who had smoked at least 100 cigarettes during their life − and just under 41,000 (50.6%) were classed as non-smokers.
These non-smokers had smoked no cigarettes or less than 100 during their life. All had been pregnant at least once.
The study was published online in the journal Tobacco Control.
The researchers, from organisations including the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in New York and the University of Massachusetts Medical School, said: "In this study, active smoking was associated with spontaneous abortion (miscarriage), stillbirth and tubal ectopic pregnancy with a significant dose-response trend.
"Secondhand exposure to never-smoking women at the highest levels were also associated with all three adverse pregnancy outcomes with significant dose-response trends," they said.

Revision as of 14:49, 3 March 2008
This page is meant to serve as a guide/checklist to use when organizing the Graduate Student Symposium.
Spring of year before Symposium
- Submit funding request to Graduate Student Senate (IS THIS A FIXED DATE? WHEN IS IT?)
In 2008, we requested XX dollars Food Tables / chairs (ADD SUMMARY OF BUDGET)
Fall before Symposium
- Symposium Committee is selected
- Choose date (for the 2008 symposium we used http://www.surveygizmo.com to conduct an online survey to choose the best date from several choices, this worked well)
- Reserve room -- usually BPB 130 (we also usually reserve the room the evening before so we can load talks, though not many people actually show up)
- Contact potential people to give the welcome address, such as the dean of CLAS or other important folks. Part of the reason for this is to show them how great EEB is.
- Example Letter
- Dear Dean XX,
- The graduate students in the department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology are preparing to hold our 17th annual Graduate Student Symposium on Saturday March 1, 2008. As Dean you know how important graduate research is and how important gaining experience in presenting that research can be to graduate students. The EEB Graduate Student Symposium is an all day event where graduate students can present their research to other graduate students and faculty in the department. New graduate students present research ideas or preliminary data while those more seasoned graduates can present their most recent results, often as preparation for an upcoming meeting. Regardless of the research level of the student, this Symposium provides an opportunity for everyone to present their work in a low stress atmosphere, obtain valuable feedback from other graduates and faculty, and experience presenting material in a symposium setting. You can read about last year's Symposium at http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/eebedia/index.php/Graduate_Research_Symposium_2007.
- The graduate students of the EEB department would like to invite you to give opening remarks at this event, welcoming participants and setting the tone for the day. The head of our department, Dr. Kentwood Wells, recommended you to us and we feel that this would be a good opportunity for us to get to know you and understand your role in academic and for you to see the exciting work being done by graduate students in EEB.
- Please let us know if you are available to accept this invitation. We hope to hear from you soon. Thank you very much.
- Sincerely,
- 2008 Graduate Student Symposium Planning Committee
Two months before Symposium
- Organize menu and schedule with Catering
2008 order Breakfast: Coffee, tea, muffins, bagels, cream cheese Lunch: Sandwiches (chicken, tuna, and hummus) The hummus sandwiches were eaten twice as fast as the others - we should have ordered more
- Order the tables and chairs from XX at 6-xxxx
2008 order: XX tables XX chairs
- Start new eebedia page for the symposium schedule and abstracts
- Issue call for presentations too EEB list serve
- Example announcement
- By popular vote this years EEB Graduate Student Symposium will be held Saturday March 1st 2008. Please mark your calendars!
- The EEB Graduate Student Symposium is an all day event where graduate students present their research to other graduate students and faculty. Any EEB graduate student can present: BSMS, Masters, PhD, old and new students. New graduate students usually present research ideas or preliminary data while those more 'seasoned' students present their most recent results, often in preparation for upcoming spring and summer meetings.
- This year we are trying out a new phenomenon, Speed Talks, in addition to our regular 15min presentations. There will be an almost unlimited number of 15min talks, and a limited number of speed talks. We would like to invite ALL EEB graduate students to give a 15min talk. Talk titles should be submitted to XXX at firstname.lastname@example.com by Feb 18th. Abstract will be self submitted on EEBedia after the schedule is posted.
- Speed Talks have been seen at several large meetings over the last year (playing off the speed dating idea). These talks will be 3min presentations, PowerPoint optional. They are ideal for sharing side projects, amazing images or videos, great opportunities that others should take advantage of, or any other interesting things that you would like to share. Since this is new we are going to have one small section of them in the afternoon. We envision these being given in addition to a regular 15min talk. If you are interested in participating in this section, please let Molly know; the actual number of these talks is still flexible, but we will take these on a first come basis.
- Check out our EEBedia page for continuing updates and schedule. http://hydrodictyon.eeb.uconn.edu/eebedia/index.php/Graduate_Research_Symposium_2008
- Thank you,
- The Symposium Committee
- Enter event at http://events.uconn.edu/
Two weeks preceding Symposium
- Print announcement fliers and post around TLS, Biopharm, BPB, Geosciences, NRME, etc.
- Send out general email announcement to non-EEB departments (Geosciences, NRME, CESE, etc.)
In the week preceding the Symposium
- Check the weather and make any necessary changes (in 2008 we had a snowstorm and decided on Friday to delay the start by 2 hours and changed the catering schedule - it went well)
- Print out a few copies of the schedule to have around
- Decide who will moderate which sections
- Send out reminder email to department
The day before the symposium
- Load talks if desired (be sure to save them on the scratch disk and not the desktop, where they will be deleted when you restart)
- When they load the talks, flip through everyone's slides to confirm that there are no problems (missing images, etc.)
- Pick up EEB tablecloths from ??
Day of Symposium
- Set up tables and chairs
- Load talks - confirm that all talks are loaded and track down any missing people/presentations

NORTHRIDGE, Calif. - In a match that was a microcosm of its hard-luck season, the visiting UC Santa Barbara women's soccer team outplayed Cal State Northridge on Friday afternoon, but lost a 1-0 decision. The defeat eliminates the Gauchos from Big West Tournament contention.
UCSB (6-9-4 overall and 3-3-1 in the Big West) recorded 20 shots, including eight on-goal, as compared to CSUN's (5-10-2 overall, 2-4-1 in the Big West) eight overall and five on-goal. Matador goalkeeper Ivette Esqueda, however, was up to the task, blocking all eight shots on goal. UCSB's Katie Wright had four saves, but the one she didn't stop decided thematch.
Early in the first half, at the 14:13 mark, CSUN forward Kristy Krohn stole the ball in front of the Gaucho goal. She took a shot that was blocked by Wright, but she collected her own rebound and put it past UCSB's senior goalkeeper to give her team the only goal it would need.
Santa Barbara had 10 shots in each half and Esqueda had five of her eight saves in the second 45-minute period. In addition to dominating the shots, the Gauchos had seven corner kicks while Northridge had none. Freshmen Kailyn Kugler and Jacqui Simon led UCSB with four and three shots respectively.
The defeat, paired with third-place Long Beach State's 3-1 win second-place Cal Poly, eliminates UCSB from the Big West Tournament hunt. The fifth-place Gauchos trail fourth-place UC Irvine by three points. The teams could conceivably finish with 13 points apiece, but the Anteaters would get the nod because they won the head-to-head match-up between the teams, 2-1 on Oct. 14.
The one-goal loss was the seventh of the season for a Gaucho team devastated by injuries. Santa Barbara, in fact, started four freshmen on Friday and eight of the 15 players who saw action in the match were first-year players.
UCSB will complete the season on Sunday, Nov. 4, when it travels to Long Beach State for a noon match against the 49ers.

Crescent City, Piper City issue Burn Bans
The Village of Crescent City and the Crescent-Iroquois Fire Protection District have issued an outdoor burn ban, until further notice. Mayor Jim Ward says it's just too dry and there's been some instances that have almost gotten out of hand.
The burn ban is effective immediatley.
The Piper City Village Board has also issued a burn ban until further notice.
The ban, which includes trash burning, campfires and brush piles, is prompted by the drought. Violators will be given one warning by Police Chief Fred Fanning before a fine is levied for a second offense.
Village President Dick Chandler is also asking residents to reduce their use of water.

Rules for What The Fans Want To Know:
- Each user is limited to 1 question per Q&A.
- Posts with repeat questions & multiple questions will be deleted, and the offending user will no longer be permitted to participate in that particular Q&A. So check to see if your question has been asked and help everyone out!
Be sure to check the posts in this thread before you, as well as previous Q&A sessions!
- This is for questions only; not discussion.
- We will start a new Q&A thread when it is time for more questions, approximately every 2 weeks. So please don't start new Q&A threads.
Please avoid questions about:
- Figure specific requests (eg: When will we see She-Ra?).
Figure specific requests will undoubtedly be met with a "anything is possible" answer.
The figures that can be produced are figures that were in the original MOTU, POP and NA lines, as well as in the mini-comics for these lines.
Characters that appeared in the 2002 MYP cartoon are also fair game.
Filmation characters are off limits!
Who will be produced will remain to be seen.
We will pick up to 10 questions we feel might get answers at that time. Please do not take offense to your question not being asked.
It's nothing personal.
Previous WTFWTK sessions (questions and Mattel answers):
The questions that were asked in the previous Q&A & will be answered in a couple weeks as follows (please do not repeat them, or questions from previous Q&As):
1. It was previously said that Mattel would start making use of the newsleter on Matty Collector. But so far, most of the recent news updates have been posted on Matty's facebook account. Wouldn't it be better to not only post the news on Facebook, but to also send the news via the newsletter on Matty Collector as well as send the news out to all fan/toy sites, or at least to He-Man.org, to maximize Mattel's informative reach?
2. Who specifically is responsible for creating/writing the bios shown on the back of the MOTUC packaging and what all goes into creating a bio (details please; inquiring minds want to know!)?
3. Demo-Man has been a controversial character, mostly because of his name and because he wasn't part of the existing MOTU lore known by the public. Has Mattel given thought to modifying his info any further to increase favorable opinion of the character, or at least change his name so it reads more like "demon" which the name is supposed to imply?
4. Is there any update on re-releasing King Grayskull?
5. The original toys, mini-comics and MYP cartoon have all been confirmed as character sources for MOTUC, while the classic cartoons have been ruled off-limits.
But there is a variety of other character/story sources (eg: Golden & Ladybird books, Marvel/STAR comics, etc).
Are these also unavailable for use, and if so what are the actual legal reasons this material can't be used as it was originally created for Mattel Licensing?
6. Will the packaging for 2002, NA and/or POP characters be different than the current MOTUC figures?
7. What is the status on the "coffee table book", and if it's moving forward will it include previously unknown archival info like we saw with Demo-Man?
8. Now that Mattel has MOTUC figures in production, which happen to include a number of the weapons that helped make up the original '80s accessory pack, is there any update on the possibility of releasing a MOTUC weapons pack?
9. It appears that the paint app consistency has varied on the three figures released to-date.
For example, both He-Man and Skeletor seem to have two different paint apps on their faces. A glossy finish version and a more matte finish version. Why is this?
10. It doesn't seem fair to fans outside the USA to have to pay twice for international shipping (to receive and then to return) for something that was Mattel's fault. Will Mattel provide a free-international-return-shipping for figures that are faulty or sent with/in error?
So ask those questions!

no wind... so BORED?
Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
Moderator: BayAreaKite
Re: no wind... so BORED?
how exactly do you re-enforce the deck? guessing you add glass yea? what amount have you found works best?
Re: no wind... so BORED?
I like a 5.6 oz carbon/kevlar weave sandwiched between (2) 4 oz S-glass under my feet and brought out to cover (1/2 wrap) the rails (under foot) thats adding another 12 oz to the foot bed area (deck over rail)
I laminate VERY TIGHT using plastic wrap to add ("poor mans") vacuum- I learned this simple repair method from Jimmy Lewis (2002).
I'd like to add that Jimmy Lewis makes the nicest kite/surf boards I've ever ridden
Order a CUSTOM from Jimmy and you WILL BE STOKED!!
Have FUN!!! L.M.G.
no wind... so BORED?
Just to clarify Greg, did you blow out a kite model FW or a surf model? I've beat the shizle out of my hellfire kite model. No damage yet. I could see breaking a surf model though. They have a different glassing schedule. Much lighter than kite models.
Surfboards work fine but will not last as long unless you glass the hell out of them. Then they a pretty much kite boards.
A for reinforcing the deck of a surf model board, I sand most of the hot coat off the deck, laminated another layer of 6 oz glass on then hot coat and sand. Adds very little weight and is totally invisible. I'm riding a FW 602 surf model right now and so far no heel dents or other damage. Much lighter than my hellfire 506 kite model!!! We'll see how it does this winter.
Re: no wind... so BORED?
The jimmy lewis i have(not a custom) did not crack or break but the foam inside desinagrated. Crappy foam, when i cut the top off board the foam fell out like cottage cheese, it looked like the foam they make those 711 ice chests with.
Riding used and closeout kites and boards from e-bay,craigslist,ikitesurf, and local surf shops.
Re: no wind... so BORED?
Yes I heard about that deal. Gerrit had some at live2kite but I missed out... turns out my old maN bought the last one off G and gave it to me as a b-day gift last night! Stoked
FireWire is so hot right now.

Re: no wind... so BORED?
The newer version Firewires are sweet! Super carvey....
C'mon clearing winds or any wind right now. Happy Birthday!!!
Re: no wind... so BORED?
NO Wind???
Take your kiting to the snow. The Sierra Snowkite Center at Sugar Bowl Resort offers 250 acres of snowkiting terrain. Come join in the fun!

Re: no wind... so BORED?
what sources can we use to find out if there's wind (and enough snow) out there to come visit you?
3.30hr away. I can make a few days out of this!
Re: no wind... so BORED?
Go here for weather...

The Clone Trooper levels fare a little better because at least there's no platforming or cheap one hit droid kills to be had. The clone portions of the game play like a third-person right stick shooter; strafing enemies while continually firing your blaster. You'll also find some temporary secondary weapons to make use of such as thermal detonators and rocket launchers. The only downside is that aiming these secondary weapons is extremely clunky. You'll need to hold down a button and manually aim an on-screen reticule, all while eating droids' blaster fire because you're unable to move while doing so. There's also a host of repetitive and simplistic mini-games found throughout almost every level that don't really seem to fit and serve only to take you out of the otherwise passable, action-oriented firefights.
With two players on-screen at all points, Republic Heroes is clearly supposed to be a co-op game. Admittedly, the game is slightly more enjoyable when playing with a human-controlled teammate but only because the A.I. teammate is so inept. Whether they're standing in a corner while you're being assaulted by a wave of droids, running in the opposite direction you wish to go, or missing almost every jump and waiting to respawn until the next checkpoint, they are just distracting and virtually useless. Human teammates also make the instant challenges scattered throughout every level that pit you against one another in brief contests of collecting the most shiny objects or killing the most droids at least somewhat enjoyable and much more interesting.
Whether you've got a friend playing with you or not, Republic Heroes likely won't hold your interest the entire way through. Sure, the game is fairly long, but every level feels the same as the last, as you kill wave after wave of the same few droids types and continue to fight with the game's biggest challenge: its poorly implemented platform jumping. Being able to play as both Jedi and Clone Troopers was an interesting idea and one that I think could have worked, I only wish it had been tried in a better Star Wars game.

I am posting this here in hopes that maybe someone can help my friend Aaron locate his son and his friend... They went missing from the trailhead for Psycho Tower in western Colorado on Sunday... His son's friend apparently used to live in Phoenix and it is thought that it is possible they may have tried to runaway to Phoenix, so I am posting to this board as well in case anyone in Phoenix or other parts of AZ/NM may have come across them on their journey.
Please contact San Miguel County Sheriffs Office at(970) 728-1911 if you have any information...
My 12 yo son Chris and his 14 yo friend Danny are missing... I need your prayers and best wishes right now. I went climbing on Psycho Tower in Western San Miguel County Sunday. The boys came along to play in the river while we climbed. When we came down, the truck and both boys were gone. The Sheriffs are looking for all three right now... '07 white Ford, crew cab, Licence #801 RBH. It's cold out there and I'm worried sick. Please send your most positive vibes ♥ Fixed wing search today... Helicopter tomorrow. They have no food, no water and no warm clothing. I am becoming desperate. 2nd night out with or without the truck... we don't yet know. Thank you all

Wastewater rate hike due to IDEM mandate about not dumping into rivers
Cindy Klepper - Monday, November 18, 2013 8:34 AM
Why are Huntington residents looking at a possible 43.4 percent increase in the rates they pay to have their wastewater treated?
The short answer: Because the Indiana Department of Environmental Management has ordered the city to stop dumping raw sewage into Flint Creek and the Little River.
Complying with that order is a 17-year endeavor that began in 2009 and extends through 2026, broken down into nine separate projects with a total cost of $63 million.
The rate increase under consideration will pay for the third project in that series, known as Rabbit Run Phase I.
"This is the biggest and most expensive project," says Anthony Goodnight, who serves as director of public works and engineering services for the city.
The city plans to sell $16.5 million in bonds to pay for Rabbit Run I. The only way to raise the money to pay off those bonds is through higher rates paid by those who use the utility, Goodnight says.
"It's no different than the electric bill," he says. "It's no different from the gas bill."
Money raised through property taxes isn't available to pay sewer and water utility expenses, he says. It's allocated for specific services such as police and fire protection, streets and parks.
And what happens if the city doesn't comply with the IDEM order?
"It's a legal document that has all kind of nasty ramifications if the city does not comply," Mayor Brooks Fetters says.
"They would fine us," Goodnight says. "They would come in and make us do it."
"There are prohibitive fines," Fetters adds. "If the city doesn't comply, we probably could expect the EPA and IDEM to come in and take over the utilities and do the work."
The city would then be billed for the work, he adds.
It's not an avenue Fetters wants to pursue.
"I think I would not be doing my sworn duty as mayor to lead this city down a path of not honoring an agreed order," Fetters says.
The problem that must be solved happens when there is heavy rainfall.
As the water disposal system in Huntington and many other cities was originally designed, both wastewater (which includes sewage) and stormwater are carried through the same pipes to the city's wastewater treatment plant. A sudden influx of water from heavy rain overwhelms the treatment plant, resulting in untreated wastewater being dumped directly into the river.
Over the years, many combined sewer lines have been separated into one line specifically for wastewater and another for stormwater. While that's helped, it hasn't completely solved the problem.
And, Fetters says, the rock formations lying underneath most of the south side of Huntington, as well as in other parts of the city, make it cost-prohibitive to separate additional sewers - so other solutions must be devised.
What IDEM has mandated, Goodnight explains, is that the city be able to capture and store the "first flush" - the first inch of rain that falls. That first inch, he says, brings with it all the debris from the surface of streets and parking lots.
The wastewater plant can treat 7.5 million gallons of water a day, Goodnight says. On a normal day, about 2 million to 2.5 million gallons flows into the plant.
IDEM wants the city to be able to handle water from a 10-year storm - the heaviest rainfall likely to occur in a 10-year period.
The solution, Goodnight says, includes a holding tank.
"When we can't take more, we'll divert it into the tank," he says.
The water will be held until the storm passes and the flow into the treatment plant returns closer to normal. The excess water and sewage can then be fed into the plant, Fetters adds.
The holding tank is only one part of the total plan, which includes improvements to the treatment plant, installation of interceptor lines to capture overflow and other projects.
The most expensive parts of the project, Goodnight says, were purposely scheduled in the early years so that their cost wouldn't be driven up by inflation. Even so, the possibility of future rate increases can't be ruled out, he says.
Components of the total project, along with the scheduled date of completion and approximate cost, are:
• Improvements to the wastewater treatment plant, to be completed in 2014 at a cost of $12 million. This project is currently underway and involves replacing some worn-out components that are 40 to 50 years old.
"Everything out there has lived its useful life," Goodnight says.
• Installation of interceptor sewers - lines that will capture stormwater during times of heavy rainfall - from Elmwood Park on William Street to the Riverfront Plaza parking lot, in front of the former Marsh grocery store. This project is currently underway and will cost about $7.2 million.
• Rabbit Run Phase I, the project currently under discussion and scheduled to take place in 2014. The major component of this project is constructing a 2.25 million gallon storage tank - a concrete structure 90 feet wide, 190 feet long and 40 feet deep - behind the wastewater treatment plant on Hitzfield Street.
A second phase of the Rabbit Run project is scheduled to take place in 2026, but Goodnight says part of that project may be included in the current work, which would raise the cost of the 2014 Rabbit Run project above the estimated $15 million but result in a decrease in the cost of the 2026 project.
Rabbit Run, Fetters explains, is the name of a ditch that carries sewage and stormwater from much of Huntington's south side to the treatment plant. It originates near Hier's Park and was originally an open ditch; many years ago, sewer tiles were placed in the ditch to carry the flow. It ends up on William Street and crosses the river to reach the treatment plant.
Original plans for Rabbit Run I called for a $26 million project, which would have involved constructing an even larger holding tank. There wasn't enough room to build that tank on wastewater treatment facility property, so land was purchased on the south side of the river as a site for the holding tank. The plan would have necessitated pumping excess water back across the river to the holding tank.
However, Goodnight says, the city spent $1,000 on new batteries that power monitors recording the amount of water flowing into the treatment plant. They found that the amount of water wasn't nearly as high as originally thought and could be handled in a smaller holding tank that would fit on the treatment plant property - making it unnecessary to pump the water back across the river and cutting some $10 million from the project.
• Replace flap gates in 2016 at a cost of $221,000.
• Improvements to effluent pumps in 2018 at a cost of about $3.3 million.
• Installation of another interceptor line in 2020 at a cost of about $1 million.
• Installation of more interceptor lines in 2022 at a cost of about $4.6 million.
• Installation of additional interceptor lines in 2024 at a cost of $11.5 million.
• Complete phase two of the Rabbit Run project in 2026 at a cost of $4 million. This is the final scheduled project.

The EPA is denying a petition requesting emergency suspension of clothianidin (Poncho, Belay) based on imminent hazard. The petition, filed in March by a group of beekeepers, Beyond Pesticides, Pesticide Action Network of North America and others alleges that clothianidin poses an "imminent hazard," requiring swift regulatory action to protect bees.
After considering the petition and the supporting information, the EPA is denying the request to suspend clothianidin use because the petition fails to show that an imminent hazard to bees exists. FIFRA allows for suspensions only if there exists a substantial likelihood of serious, imminent harm. After reviewing the petition and supporting information, the EPA does not believe there is a substantial likelihood of imminent serious harm from the use of clothianidin.
Read: Bee colony disorder to last
The agency will, however, be taking public comments for 60 days on this decision. Comments can be submitted to www.regulations.gov under docket EPA HQ-OPP-2012-0334.
With Colony Collapse Disorder in the news and under pressure from some beekeepers and anti-pesticide activists, EPA has focused on the impact to bees, particularly from the neonicitinoid insecticides. Of particular concern to the agency are extra-floral nectaries on cotton and its indeterminate habit.
EPA is continuing its comprehensive scientific evaluation on all the neonicotinoid pesticides, including clothianidin.
EPA's FIFRA Scientific Advisory Panel (SAP) will hold a four-day meeting on Sept. 11-14 to review a proposed framework the agency has developed in conjunction with state and international partners to evaluate the potential quantitative risks to bees and other pollinators from the use of pesticides. Notice of the meeting was published in the July 18 Federal Register.
The proposed framework includes a tiered process developed in conjunction with Canada's Pest Management Regulatory Agency and the California Dept. of Pesticide Regulation for evaluating risks to pollinators from pesticides. The meeting will focus on the proposed process, with EPA providing an overview, as well as the exposure and effects data needed to support that process.
EPA also is seeking nominations of candidates to serve as ad hoc members of the SAP for this meeting.

Higher Education in Germany
Several of the top universities in the world are found in Germany, such as Heidelberg University (Ruprecht-Karls-Universitat Heidelberg, founded in 1386); Freiburg University (founded in 1457); Munich Technical University (Technische Universitat München); and the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig. The majority of Germany's universities are public and currently charge tuition fees of approximately 60 euros or $80 U.S. dollars per semester.
Teaching is emphasized in German universities over research, with research being the focus of independent institutes known for their traditional approach to the social sciences. For students who wish to pursue a degree in psychology, anthropology, philosophy or sociology, acceptance into one of these research universities is extremely competitive and geared towards students who have showed exceptional talent and brilliance towards a particular field.
Another type of university popular with international students is the Fachhochschule (FH), University of Applied Science. Courses offered at a Fachhochschule are designed to prepare students for employment in particular professions that are not academic-oriented, such as information technology, nursing and business. German states and its federal government also maintain several FHs that train students who want careers in the civil service. Students cannot earn doctorates at a Fachhochschule.
Colleges of art, film and music provide creative programs for students who desire careers in the fine arts, fashion design, graphic arts and music. For centuries, Germany has made a tremendous contribution to the world of fine arts, literature and music by producing such brilliant writers, artists and composers as Mozart, Brahms, Hesse, Max Ernst and Nietzsche and continues to be a powerful force in the world of the fine arts, filmmaking and fashion.
Attending a German University
All students wanting to attend a university in Germany will need to provide a copy of their Abitur, a document also used in Estonia and Finland to designate the successful completion of final exams given in their final year of secondary education. While German citizens who do not have an Abitur can take another test called the Begabtenprüfung (literally aptitude test) in order to attend a university, international students, in most cases, will need to show ACT or SAT scores of at least 28 and 1300, respectively, to qualify for admission. High school diplomas similar to those earned in the U.S. are not considered the equivalent of an Abitur and generally will not promote a student's chance of admission to a German college or university.
Some universities and colleges award scholarships to students to pay for books and living expenses. However a law called Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz ensures that economically disadvantaged students receive up to 650 euros ($860 U.S.dollars) each month for the four or five years it takes to earn a bachelor's degree. Typically, half of this amount will need to be repaid to the government as an interest-free loan.
Generally, the language of instruction is German, so students wishing to attend a German university should have adequate knowledge of the German language.
German Visas for International Students
For short stays of up to three months (students taking summer courses, for example), a Schengen-Visa is required to remain in the country. Students should be aware that they must leave Germany at the end of the three months if they choose to obtain a Schengen-Visa and should plan accordingly before applying for this type of visa.
National visas are necessary if you plan to stay longer than three months. Students should make it clear why they require a National visa and state on the form whether they are completing a doctorate or enrolling in a full program. In addition, the following documents will be needed before students can apply for a visa: letter of admission, health insurance card, proof of pre-admission examination results and proof that you know how to speak and read German or that you plan to take German language courses as part of your curriculum.
Why Study in Germany?
Germany has been named by several international educational groups as one of the most supportive countries for students wishing to earn degrees in a country other than their own. Complementing this recognition is the fact that tuition charged by many German universities is minimal to none, further making studying in Germany an attractive and exciting prospect for students wishing to attend school in a country different from their own.

Fueled by $14.5 million in Straight A Fund grants from the state, 15 central Ohio school districts launched the Innovation Generation initiative April 22 with the aim of expanding post-secondary options for students and closing workforce talent gaps in the region.
Fueled by $14.5 million in Straight A Fund grants from the state, 15 central Ohio school districts launched the Innovation Generation initiative April 22 with the aim of expanding post-secondary options for students and closing workforce talent gaps in the region.
Innovation Generation is part of the national Pathways to Prosperity Network and seeks to establish career pathways in advanced manufacturing/robotics, business logistics, health care and information technology.
The multidistrict collaboration is supported by Columbus State Community College, Educational Services Center of Central Ohio, Mount Carmel Health System, Battelle for Kids, Columbus 2020 and other community and business partners throughout Ohio. The Eastland-Fairfield, Tolles and Ohio Hi-Point career centers also are part of the collaboration.
"We have the beginning of an important cooperative that includes higher education, employers, career tech and public K-12," said Reynoldsburg Superintendent Steve Dackin. "That has to bode really well for the creation and sustaining of jobs in central Ohio, which is aligned with the Central Ohio Compact."
The Central Ohio Compact is a regional strategy for college completion and career success. Its ultimate goal is to help 60 percent of working-age adults attain a college degree or career certificate by 2025.
Districts participating in the consortium for the Innovation Generation initiative are Canal Winchester, Columbus, Gahanna-Jefferson, Grandview Heights, Hilliard, Licking Heights, Marysville, New Albany-Plain Local, Olentangy, Pickerington, Reynoldsburg, South-Western, Upper Arlington, Westerville and Whitehall.
Reynoldsburg is the lead district for the initiative and acts as fiscal officer for the consortium. As such, the Reynoldsburg Board of Education approved Straight A Fund contracts for 12 of the districts at its April 15 meeting:
* Canal Winchester: $297,135
* Columbus City Schools: $753,500
* Gahanna-Jefferson: $911,059
* Grandview Heights: $584,375
* Hilliard: $902,475
* Licking Heights: $496,200
* Marysville: $942,753
* New Albany: $872,228
* Pickerington: $867,783
* South-Western: $150,000
* Upper Arlington: $300,421
* Westerville: $1,171,706
Reynoldsburg received $1,080,686.
Dackin said the grant dollars are governed by the consortium participants themselves, after a governing committee meets and approves all the submitted projects.
The Columbus, Gahanna-Jefferson, Grandview Heights, Marysville, New Albany, Pickerington, Upper Arlington and Westerville districts have the creation of a mobile Fab Lab on their list of projects.
Reynoldsburg built its "fabrication laboratory" or Fab Lab, last year at eSTEM Academy, with the help of $70,000 from Battelle. Started at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Fab Labs were a way to make advanced manufacturing equipment available for fledgling inventors and project-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) projects.
The lab consists of 3-D printers, laser cutters and other manufacturing machines.
Dackin said building a Fab Lab meets the "advanced manufacturing" aspect of the Straight A grant. Even though Reynoldsburg now has an operating Fab Lab, the district will build a mobile Fab Lab with part of its grant money, to make the technology more available to younger students.
"We have a very challenging timeline, since we were given only a six-month planning and implementation process," he said. "We are grateful to have the state dollars, but the project plans are expected to be implemented by June 30 of this year."
Another chunk of the consortium's grant money -- $1 million -- went to Columbus State to digitize 33 existing Columbus State courses and create seven more courses for dual enrollment and college credit.
"I think this consortium is the first step in our alignment to the Central Ohio Compact and will end up being a model for urban centers around the country," Dackin said. "Rarely do you see this kind of partnership between all these educational entities."

When it comes to Daniel Murphy, the New York Mets always seem to think they might have a faster gun. Murphy, a natural third baseman, couldn't find a home in left field or first base, but the past two seasons appears to have settled in at second base.
However, just as he seems to be taking to the position, the Mets haven't been able to resist other options. Justin Turner has been there to give him a rest; Eric Young played when Murphy briefly replaced Ike Davis at first; Jordany Valdespin got a week audition after his tantrum; and Wilmer Flores got a chance as part of the Mets' youth movement.
"I'd like to think of myself as a young guy, too,'' said the 28-year-old Murphy after today's four-hit, two-RBI outburst in an 11-3 rout of the Phillies.
Manager Terry Collins said Murphy has been tired, hitting just .233 in August, with two extra-base hits – both homers – in his previous 31 games before two doubles today. Collins said yesterday's start with Flores was to give Murphy a rest and not meant as his job was in jeopardy.
But, that's not the thinking of others. In talking about finding a spot for Andrew Brown, Mets analyst Bob Ojeda suggested left field and moving Young to second. In where Flores might play, regardless of what Collins said, second is the spot first mentioned.
However, in analyzing the Mets' holes needing to be filled for 2014, there are other positions ahead of ahead of Murphy at second that are more pressing. They'll need another starter or two if Harvey can't pitch, and the bullpen is always an issue, especially if Bobby Parnell isn't ready.
The Mets also have questions at shortstop and the outfield.
As for Murphy, he was named in trade rumors at the end of July, and he's still on the table as the waiver deadline nears.
But, in the end the Mets could do far worse than playing Murphy at second base.
WRIGHT REHAB: David Wright said he wanted to play again this season before leaving to Port St. Lucie to continue his rehab. Wright also spoke to the Phillies' Michael Young about how he rehabbed his hamstring injury. Young stressed that regardless of his rehab, it's different and tenuous when he gets into games.
"I don't want the next time I'm on the field to be in spring training with the uncertainty,'' Wright said. "This is what I do. I want to play. It's against pretty much everything I believe in to shut the season down and get ready for next season. I want to get back and join my teammates and help them finish strong.''
METS MUSINGS: GM Sandy Alderson said surgery hasn't been determined on Matt Harvey's tear in his UCL. Harvey consulted with the Phillies' Roy Halladay, who had a similar injury that didn't require surgery. Harvey will get a second opinion after the swelling goes down. … Carlos Torres was terrific giving up one run on four hits in 6.2 innings with six strikeouts and no walks. … Reliever Vic Black was the player-to-be-named-later in the deal with Pittsburgh. … Young had three hits including a three-run triple. … Catcher Anthony Recker hit a two-run homer on his 30th birthday. … Matt den Dekker was hitless in five at-bats with two strikeouts in his major league debut.

SAN FRANCISCO — Former Stanford star Christen Press continued her spectacular run with the U.S. women's soccer team Sunday, scoring her eighth goal in 11 games as the Americans defeated New Zealand 4-1.
Press gave the United States a 3-0 lead with a sizzling 17-yard shot in the 42nd minute in front of a crowd of 16,315 at Candlestick Park.
"She's just a predatory goal scorer," said coach Tom Sermanni, who promoted Press to the national team in February.
Press, 24, joined the U.S. team last week after helping Tyreso FF finish second in the Swedish league.
"Coming from a totally different club environment, it is a big adjustment," she said. "There isn't a team in the world that plays with this speed and intensity. Mentally it is a challenge to come into camp and turn it on."
Adding to the pressure is the 2015 Women's World Cup in Canada. Press, who led the Swedish league with 23 goals in 20 games this season, is among four world-class strikers trying to play for the United States.
On Sunday, the top-ranked Americans relied on their potent midfielders to stun the Ferns with two goals after 12 minutes in their first appearance ever in San Francisco.
The victory on a chilly fall afternoon extended the team's unbeaten streak to 37 games since losing to Japan last year in the Algarve Cup in Portugal. The Americans also extended their home unbeaten streak to 75 matches in their third Bay Area appearance.
"They've got so much speed and they are so clinical," said New Zealand star Ali Riley, a former Stanford teammate of Press'.
While Riley is a five-time player of the year for No. 19 New Zealand, Press was overlooked by the Americans since her senior season at Stanford in 2010.
But as the United States prepares for its final two games of the year, starting Wednesday against New Zealand, Press is the team's second-leading scorer behind Abby Wambach (10 goals).
But midfielders Megan Rapinoe and Carli Lloyd got the big goals Sunday — the first with a free kick and the second on Lloyd's steal and shot past New Zealand goalkeeper Erin Nayler.
New Zealand scored in the 54th minute against one-time Stanford keeper Nicole Barnhart, who replaced U.S. star Hope Solo in the second half. The goal came just after Barnhart stuffed Hannah Wilkinson. The ball bounced right back to the Tennessee junior, and this time she buried her chance.
With Heather O'Reilly's 17-yard goal in the 87th minute, the Americans (12-0-2) have outscored opponents 51-9 this year.
Still, the Ferns knocked the U.S. out of its rhythm in the second half, giving Sermanni something to work on over the next few days.
"We allowed ourselves to be harassed a little bit," he said. "That's the kind of thing that makes these games very valuable for us."
It also fueled New Zealand's hopes.
"The result doesn't exactly reflect the way the game went," Riley added.

dog crossing behind u while walking
ok need ideas on how to break Nyx of the habit of going behind me n to switch sides. she used to do this once in a blue moon. Since getting Karma its now almost any time she on a leash walk. which is daily until we can get to where its offleash.
It doesn't matter if Karma is walking on the same side or opposite side of her she will all of a sudden go behind me to walk on the other side. Its driving me crazy cause i can't be letting her do that more so if my mom has to walk them.
Karma started to do it a once or twice on the walk but once i corrected her by telling her no and making sure she stayed on one side unless she crossed in front. She didn't do it again.
With Nyx being the 100lbs its alot harder to hold her to one side at times as i can correct her and we start walking again she slows down to walking beside me(which i would want at times) and then she goes behind before i can correct her. I am drawing blanks as how to really correct her on this.I moved her onto the shorter leash and she still does it. so now walk time its as relaxing as i would like cause i have to keep trying to correct her on this.
Would it help if the leash was a shorter? I use to walk Marty with a 6 ft leash but I would keep tripping on the leash and Marty would try to walk on my right side and I have use my cane on that that side . So I how use his 4 ft leash and boy it helped a lot . I do not want Marty walking right next as he is so small and I can't see him and if I lose my balance I could step on his little paw. This has happen before. . I something wish I hand one more hand as it is can be a juggling act hold the leash and my cane and trying to pick up Marty's poop.
BK gives good advice

i using a regular nylon leash, when i walk late at night i have a leash that flashes about that's about 4 feet.
tried the shorter and it doesn't help. she was a bit better late last night as i let them have some free time before i leashed them. (got to love small towns that are usually dead just after 10pm in most areas).
I do have a daul nylon dog leash, i just hate to have to use it as i rather not try and not correct the dog thats behaving, will use it more as they get older and more behaved for some of their walks.
Have tried the shorter leash it helps but not so much as she usually catches my legs a lot faster then with the some what longer leash.
Then you may need to have a dog trainer help you before you get knocked off your feet. There are some self-help utubes on lines , I am not sure how good the dog trainers are but I found something interesting about why we walk our dog on the left side . At one time guns where on the right side of people so they walked their dogs on the left side so it would not get shot by mistake. I wonder if this is true.
another possibility
I don't normally use retractable leashes but have found when walking more than one it's handy because you can keep it short, making it impossible for the dog to leave your side more than a few inches.
I agree
Retractable leashes are often an excuse to let dogs get into trouble. I bought a couple of them before I took training (I needed it more than the dog did) and since then I only use it with the leash fully retracted and the brake on because that's shorter than the shortest leash I could find. It gave me more control while teaching the dogs to heel and as noted it helps to avoid tangling when walking more than one dog. With my 3 little ones I kept finding that after a block the leashes would be pretty much braided together.
I was at park with my last dog and someone had their dog on a retractable leash and I kept backing away from the people and dog as I did not want my dog legs to get cut by the retractable leash. The people kept letting their dog get closer to me and when they finally realize I was trying avoid them they walked away then I notice both my knees where hurting and when I looked down I saw I was bleeding! The retractable leash was so sharp I did not feel it cut me and the people where done by then. I am glad it was not
dog's legs that got cut would had been deeper on his long thin legs. I really hate retractable leashes .
i will have to call a few trainers. as Nyx for some reason doesn't like certain people.
i only get the retractable leashes if they are fulll nylon not those part nylon and a cord.
i try n keep my dogs away from the road side. since if i step down and get hit its the drivers fault but if the dog does its my fault. Found this out also true when walking on the highway u walk on the white lineor just over n get hit its the driver fault were as if a dog was on the white line or just over its your fault

barkingdog.. i didnt mean it to sound like that. i meant that i dont use retractable near roads as if u dog gets hit by a car its the owners fault even if the dog steps off the curb or goes a bit over the white line.
i dont like the mostly cord retractable as i have gotten rope burn a few times because of them.. so i prefer the pure nylon like a leash retractable.
Barkingdog, I don't know where you got that impression from! I didn't read anything that implied you were at fault for getting cut. Rottysrule was talking about walking on the road.

Let's face it, your phone's feeble speakers don't really cut it when it comes to filling the room with your tunes – so you'll need to get yourself a speaker dock.
But for some, the pursuit of noise has led them to a strange place, beyond human ken. And these weird and wonderful speaker docks are the fruit of their labours…
AeroDream One Lalique (US$560,000)
Got half a million dollars to burn? If cost truly is no object, you could install this bonkers dock designed by Jean Michel Jarre in your house – it's 11ft tall and requires you to climb a ladder to mount your iThing atop it. On the plus side, it delivers 10,000W of noise. You also get free tickets to a Jean Michel Jarre concert, and the opportunity to meet the man himself. Whereupon you can ask him, "What were you thinking?"
iXoost òt (from €5000)
Seemingly designed for Jeremy Clarkson, the iXoost (exhaust, get it?) is fashioned from an F1 exhaust manifold. The smaller V8 option crams in 4 70W amplifiers and a 140W subwoofer, while power-crazed petrolheads can also pick up V10 and V12 models.
Artful Speakers (from £600)
Designed by artist John Farnham, these docks repurpose brass instruments, turning them into acoustic amplifiers that parp out your tunes without the need for electricity. You can even have your own instrument turned into a dock – finally, a use for that tuba you were lumbered with in the school orchestra.
Behringer iNuke Boom (US$30,000)
This cartoonishly-large iPod dock will have you convinced that your eyes are playing tricks on you – it measures in at 4ft by 8ft, weighs 315kg and pumps out a whopping 10,000W. If you want something a bit more reasonable, Behringer sells the somewhat smaller iNuke Boom Junior for just shy of £100.
iPad TonSchrein 2.0 (£Not for sale)
Okay, we get that Apple fans can get a bit overly-reverential towards their iThings, but an actual shrine? Created by photographer Georg Dinkel, the "Sound Shrine" is made from polymer clay and painted in a metallic finish, cramming a 25W, 2.1 speaker system and iPad 4 dock with Lightning connector into its German Gothic frame. Sadly (mercifully?) it's a personal project, so it isn't for sale. But if you're an oil-rich oligarch with a taste for medieval bling, we're sure you could commission one of your very own.

Alabama's attorney general will ask the Legislature to increase the penalty for operating illegal gambling machines.
Luther Strange said Monday that he wants the penalty to go from a misdemeanor to a felony. He said the current penalty is a slap on the wrist compared to the large amounts of money that operators make.
Strange was in Hoover on Monday to talk to legislators about their upcoming regular session, which starts Feb. 5.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Cam Ward said some lawmakers are reluctant to increase the penalty until Alabama courts issue clear guidelines on what's an illegal machine and what's not.

APNewsBreak: Ex-NHLers sue league on concussions
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ten former National Hockey League players are claiming in a class-action lawsuit that the league hasn't done enough to protect players from concussions.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court in Washington, seeks damages to be determined at trial. The players are also seeking court-approved medical monitoring for their brain trauma and/or injuries, which they blame on their NHL careers.
The suit comes just three months after the National Football League agreed to pay $765 million to settle lawsuits from thousands of former players who developed dementia or other concussion-related health problems.
The ex-hockey players claim that the NHL purposely concealed the risks of brain injuries faced by players, exposing them to unnecessary dangers.
The NHL didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
