Waiting for the white stuff: lack of snow can be good for roads, bad for business
Holiday decorations sit on brown grass looking slightly less spirited; snowmobiles sit idle and lonely in dry sheds; and children's snow pants hang dry, unused and un-introduced to this year's unborn snowmen.
The area's "no-snow" event has some singing hallelujah and others praying to the snow gods.
The brown ground is pushing some budgets into the black, like the City of Detroit Lakes' Public Works Department.

I have been working at Comcast
Great benefits package, medical dental, vision, complimentary services, educational reimbursement and ESPP are outstanding. Although the pay is mediocre at best when compared to other companies in telecommunications and IT, the benefits package does make up for some of the gap.
Lack of communication in a communications company. People are hired with little to no experience to do their job and their responsibilities end up being shifted to other employees. Way too much hand holding and turn over.
Hire (and hold) more qualified people!!! Stop hiring people for technical jobs WHO ARE NOT TECHNICALLY PROFICIENT!

The best thing about working for Comcast is that they give you free Cable TV and also free internet access. Also, the benefits are not the best but are also not the worst in the industry. It seems everyone is skimping on medical these dayts.Cons
Thw worst part about working for Comcast is that you must be ready to work long days. Besides that , there is alot else that is wrong with this company. Some people say that everything else besides the free internet and free cable tv is wrong. I think you can learn alot but you need to go out and do this for yourself. Overall, I would read the current news headlines if you want to see what is going on with management. It's no secretAdvice to ManagementAdvice

MONTGOMERY COUNTY - by KHOU 11 News and www.khou.com
An inmate who escaped a jail north of Houston early last week is back in custody after he was spotted in the Spring area, officials said.
The Montgomery County Sheriff's Office said inmate Britt Privatte was captured in Harris County near I-45 North and Cypresswood Drive shortly after midnight Wednesday.
Officials said Privatte was walking from a hotel, and when investigators moved in, he ran into a nearby wooded area to try and get away. The Harris County Sheriff's Office used police dogs to track down the suspect, who was later spotted in a tree. He jumped down to try and run but was soon captured and bitten by a K-9.
The inmate was taken to the hospital to get treated for the dog bite and was then transferred back to the Montgomery County Jail.
MSCO said the Texas Rangers and the U.S. Marshalls Office assisted in following-up on tips that helped lead to Privatte's arrest.
It was March 17 when Privatte, 40, escaped from a jail in Montgomery County. Officials believed inmates gave him a boost over a wall, but it was unclear if anyone on the outside was helping him.
During the investigation and search, officials charged 11 inmates with hindering apprehension. In addition, one person in the Cleveland, Texas area was charged with tampering with evidence. Investigators said other charges could be filed as more information about Privatte's escape surfaces.
Privatte was in jail for his involvement in bank robberies in Montgomery, Harris and Fort Bend counties.

Score!! Dehydrator!
I love a bargain.
I always check the kitchen aisle at St. Vincent DePaul and last night I picked up a American Harvester Food Dehydrator for $7.99.
I didn't even take it out of the box at the store since I really purchased for the extra trays (best price I can find is around $10 for 2 trays).
Got home and opened it up only to find it looks brand new.
Manuals and even the "jerky flavorings" are still in there (eeewww).
I guess I'll have a back up motor or two running at a time!
Wow - if I could find a deal like that I'd start dehydrating stuff! Don't you love thrift stores? They really have no idea what they have and price things ridiculously. Of course, that also means that I've seen used Classico jars priced at $2 each - I can buy them *with* the sauce for that LOL!

Lyn Paul
Climb That Mountain Poem by Lyn Paul
I have given to all
Yet I have never given to myself
I have guided so many
Yet not myself
I have fallen
Yet I know I can rise
Because of this wonderful world....
The heavenly skies
I have seen the smiles I bring
To so many, when my heart sings
I have seen the joy I get from the simple things around
This fulfils me so much... My every wound
I know I have found it is time to cherish who I am... for why
To raise the lows and make them high
I am so blessed for who I have been
Stemmed from the pain of what I have seen
The aches the pains are open to us all
There are those waiting, waiting to fall
Yet we must rise... For only ourselves
To see achievement of heartfelt wealth
So Climb That Mountain. Even if you don't make the height
You will be proud you never.... Gave up the fight

How can they "pull the blanket" when there will be only about 400 Brits, whose operations are confined to training, compared to 4000 French troops who are engaged in combat?
N'importe quoi!
Most people in the UK do not see Europe as a major issue as the Economist mentions.
But the Tories do. That in itself is insighful. The UK, as part of the EU has the huge advangates of being the US's best ally & having a loose club of other countries in the commonwealth behind it. Additionally the UK is the biggest political member after France & Germany. It could oversee some great changes, the most practical, banning French in EU institutions.
So why leave when you have the best hand?
The idea that if you are in a club you abide by the rules is a nice thought but not reality. Go to a fish or meat market in Southern Europe & Denmark. The degree to which " the rules of the club" are implemented is significantly different, the same is a reality right through the EU.
It is England that will decide being the biggest member of the UK. And the double whammy scenario is England out, Scotland & Wales in.
Some of what the EU does is annoying, much is not. Just wish the gin drinking, empire & all that members of the Tory party in the Home counties would realise that.
This thread that started with such promise, excellent irony from Connect-the-dots, intelligent comments from la.výritý and several other posters, has now fallen into the idiocy that was usual in Charlemagnes' threads.
Thanks to the usual culprits.
So, I feel very amused to devote my last allowed comment to thank those who unwittingly have provided me with a good laugh...
I understand from a post of of Pedrito of Portugal (quote:Finally, if sanmartinian don't mind my saying this, I'd wish you'd stop putting mine and his name together...) that some posters have ventured he and I are the same person or at least work in unison.
I've exchanged posts with Pedrito as I've done with dozen other posters; never had the pleasure to meet him or spoken, even by phone, with the gentleman. Any person who reads English and has two ounces of grey matter will recognize our styles are as similar as water and hard rock, he knows a lot about the price of gilt edges, secondary market quotes and similar matters on which I am a total ignorant. I don't even think we share many fundamental views although naturally, as all civilized people, respect our different opinions.
More important, poor Pedrito: I gather he is younger than my sons and that makes him about half my age or even less. Don't make him age so fast...
Come on! If you can't stop being as aggressive and bad mannered as "ex oriente..." from another thread, or as psychotic as "Schade(n)freude" from Charlemagne's interminable threads of long ago, at least don't be as dumb as a door knob.
If any civilized poster addresses me in this thread please accept my apologies if I don't reply. I'll do my best to be off this once interesting thread now that it has deteriorated beyond repair.
My thanks to the editor who wrote this very good leader that provided initially an interesting debate.
Time for bed soon where I am.
Nighty, night, now.
@ Birtnick:
I hate to agree with you, Birtnick, I really do;-), but you are right about this one: my politeness has not been reciprocated by the rascals. Sadly so.
Whenever did civility become a bad word?
Some comments of the serious German press:
- "The Brits are watching how European politicians are trying desperately to save the Euro with disbelief. The necessary approximation of the productivity of the South and the North ("harmonization") is avoided and damaging the competitiveness of the entire euro zone badly."
"If London will leave the EU we would lose our most important partner/supporter for market economy, self-responsibility and competition. We were delivered to the South under the leadership of the state-believing centralists in Paris even more than we already are." Handelsblatt
- "Whoever said categorically that a euro for Greece is more important than a euro for schools, kindergartens, universities, and health care and other social services in this country, in fact apples and oranges are mixed up in an inappropriate manner." Wirtschaftswoche
You'll find articles like that in the FAZ, too.
to Pedrito de Portugal on net migration plus adjustments
Could well be.
The Eurostat page is a bit dense and my eyes get easily tired. As adjustments would certainly not affect my conclusions, I decided to save eyesight and did not dive deeper into the matter.
Is net migration still positive in Portugal?.
At present, no idea. Medium term (1995/2011) definitely yes.
I just followed Eurostat and its result are that net migration in Portugal for 2011 alone is negative to the tune of -2.0. Didn't bother to find reliable data for 2012. I doubt it exists.
This makes that accumulated net migration in Portugal 1995/2011 is +51.1. Lower than, say, Ireland's (+100.2), higher than Britain's (41.6) and much higher than Poland's (-6.0) just to give an example from each of the three groups I took in consideration: bailed out countries, affluent countries and "new" EU members.
This is unimportant. I repeat stats are not football rankings. Comparisons serve only to see trends and check whether a country is following the right policies.
The bailed out countries and Iceland have all followed the right policies: changed the flow of migration as soon as the financial situation deteriorated. Germany without important financial problems followed the right policy too. Others, not so much.
The Edit button sometimes plays up - to "two Portuguese posters" I meant to add,"sanmartinian and Ped/rolx/rito".
Excurse me free fall, this isn't rally directly related to what you just said.
I would just like to express my disgust at the fact that the moderators at the economist seem to accept xenophobic remarks towards people from southern Europe, but are quite notoriously fast in deleting anything that might be offensive to the people from the North of Europe.
Please denote that I don't even believe in this kind of divide although I think quite a lot of people do.
What seems to me, and it is something I've been fearing for quite a while is that the Nazi belief that 'Aryans' (or Noric Races - which are a myth by the way) are somehow superior to the rest isn't quite dead yet.
I've once drawn the analogy between the hatred towards Jews they demonstrated after the other great repression, the one before this one, and the hatred that is so apparent now in the speeches of so many of your commentators.
Scapegoats are always needed. But this is scary in so many ways. It is not old a display of ignorance. As you can't really draw a line in Europe as so many have tried to 'explain' it.
This has obviously nothing to do with Cameron, although I see quite a lot of Englanders, those who gave birth to such extraordinary creatures as Churchill, which defended the oppressed at the time, doing the exact opposite.
This is meant to be a debate on the future of Europe, and Britain and other country's role in it, not a litany of insults directed towards southern Europeans. In any case, I don't even consider myself one.
I am Portuguese, European, Eurasian.
No ore, no less.
Come to the dark side, David: we have cookies...and Mario Draghi!
Sorry, I couldn't resist (how very mature of me)...
Nice one Cutters. It is just as predicted:
when one threatens to go they all follow like sheep!
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha !!
I don't agree with you.
The Eurozone has no choice in the matter, they have to converge and centralise powers otherwise the Euro is doomed, so repatriation of powers back to the nation states is not an option for them. Hence Cameron can only hope to negotiate the form of the "two speed EU" with repatriation of powers back to the non-Euro countries within the EU.
He did the right thing in my opinion but I fear the sour grapes reaction will be extreme, despite the shared interests in maintaining mutual access to a common market. Let us hope that they are pragmatic rather than vindictive.
To Jamesyear on Britons emigrating to the continent and the other way round
Your comment left me wondering which is the large flow; Britons to the Continent or otherwise on a permanent basis, not holidays.
Hard to get stats, so I did the second best thing.
I've compared British residents in Portugal with Portuguese residents in Britain, my reasoning being that Britons who come to live in Europe on account of the weather will very unlikely choose Portugal.
With due apologies to the Portuguese Tourist Agency' efforts to woo retired Britons, weather wise Portugal with her frequent strong winds and cold sea waters is no match for Mediterranean lands. The Algarve is half an exception but it is only a small part of the country.
So the flow between the two countries can be taken as a rough sample of "working emigration" between Britain and the continent. Very very rough,and possibly very wrong, but it is the only straw I have.
England and Wales have an approximate population of 56 million; Portuguese immigrants there are about 88 thousand. So the rate of Portuguese immigrants in England & Wales is 1 to 640 thousand native residents.
Portugal has some 25 thousand British immigrants for a population of roughly 10 million. In other words,1 Briton for every 400 thousand Portuguese.
Portuguese win hands down: there are far more Britons coming to Portugal than Portuguese going to Britain if we accept the many, and probably wrong, approximations I had to make.
Let's be fair though. If I measure the number of emigrants as a percentage of their countrymen the proportion is the opposite. All Briton immigrants in Portugal are 1 in 2.4 million of their countrymen. All the Portuguese immigrants in England and Wales are 1 in 110 thousand or far, far more than Britons residing in Portugal.
You know the old saying about statisticians like me, don't you? If we torture numbers properly they'll confess anything we wish to accuse them of.
Stats are to be icily cold analysed with no emotions of any sort. They serve to make proper decisions, if properly analysed, not to shout Ruritarians are in bad shape, it's the Bordurians who are thriving.
That's for hotheaded, emotive and not very cultivated people. One of the great quality of the English was they were exactly like that in their great majority. Are they losing the trait?
If they are, it's our business to make them regain it.
Apologies for the ridiculously unimportant technical side of this post.
The conclusion on how to react to facts is the important bit. Personally I try never to forget it. You do as you choose.
Another monicker, Pedro? How many is that you've had?
Tell us about the 'charisma' of Pedro Coelho, that colossus of European politcs, you know the one who tells Portuguese to emigrate because their home country has no future to offer them.
The single dividing line between the EU and all the empires/states/unions that have preceded it in history is the question of consent - ie all the member states in the EU petitioned to join, so following on from this, if the British voting public answer "No" to PM Camerons proposed referendum then its game over, cheerio.
Its a long kick of a political football into touch, and carries within it the seeds of some very destructive results, including the probable collapse of the UK as presently constituted.
Hardly what Tories would wish for, then again its old advice to be careful what you wish for.
The EU has some serious democratic deficits, and a growing body of Eurocrats who badly need to be reined in, but this is not to say the entire edifice needs to be ripped down, however it does need to be made more accountable to every citizen, one of the most serious issues is that of State versus Centre, ie where lies the power?
This is the Federal Europe versus the Supermarket some British seem to wish for, perhaps an EU wide referendum on British membership would help?
In todays economic circumstances it might not be hard to convince a majority of all EU citizens that the whole idea was a bad one, lets go back to the 30s, they were fun times, and maybe hand most of Eastern Europe back to the Russians, Comecon worked so well after all.
Nostalgia is wonderful, however it wont cope with the troubles we are currently in.
Cameron could be the author of the Cockup of the Century, on the other hand he could be fiendishly clever, but on the face of it it looks like a self inflicted wound.
Going with the title, here is a tip for those continentals who think they know what the out come will be explained by the legend Jonny Cash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ajHezlJq-A
Though membership of the EU is best expressed with this song, and is most definitely the UK's experience of the EU: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsViHT2OveE&playnext=1&list=PL1E5349473C1...
The United federation of Europe ?
And their language?
German or French?
And Germany will continue to subsidise France?
A federal Europe is coming. It will not build on existing federal constitutions, like one of the three: Canada´s, Australia´s or USA´s. It will be atleast 2.000 pages and will be difficult to make sense out of. So the incentive for the UK to exit will be greater when Europe goes federal. A two tier union might emerge, with the outer fringe existing of more nations and much larger population than the present (which includes just Norway, Iceland, Lichtenstein and practically also Switzerland). It is quite conceivable, even highly probable, that Denmark and Sweden would follow the UK to the outer fringe. Neighbours in the east and south might also become a part of an outer fringe. Europe desperately needs the solar power of North-Africa to satisfy it´s energy needs, if it is going to honour its own declared obligations to decrease its generation of CO2 into the atmosphere. It is always difficult to forsee the future. The future of the union of European and neighbouring countries is especially difficult to forsee. Let´s atleast hope, that a total breake up of a European union will not take place with the almost inevitable unrest which would follow.
> "I don´t desire to change anything in England except the weather". Oscar Wilde <
On second thoughts, he might have desired to change the laws on homosexuality.
Your link though interesting does not suggest that the European Arrest Warrant prevents economic activity. I also fail to see the difference between say being taken to Belfast from Cornwall for stealing a bicycle on a UK arrest warrant or being taken to France from Portsmouth.
However my main problem with Cameron's referendum plans is that they fail to offer me the opportunity to vote for what I want which is an ever closer Union. With a split Eurosceptic vote we Europhiles are not an insignificant minority.
I certainly won't claim that France has been a shining light when it comes to deeper European integration, but is there not a European court which imposes fines on France from time to time?
Perhaps you could remind me to which recent rulings you refer?

When it comes to exploring Maine's park and recreation areas, there's only one difficult decision to make: deciding where to go first. Whether you pick a handful of small recreation areas or one or two large ones to explore, you'll love them all.
- A good place to start is exploring one of the 32 state parks here, covering half a million acres of public lands, with unique activities in each. Many begin with the 205,000 acre Baxter State Park at the base of Mount Katahdin, or the 92 miles of lakes and rivers known as the Allagash Wilderness Waterway.
- The national parks and forests of Maine are popular with millions of visitors annually, for good reason. The view out over the Atlantic Ocean and Acadia National Park from the top of Cadillac Mountain is one that will stay with you for a lifetime.
- To the west, the White Mountains National Forest is beloved by skiers in the winter and hikers in every season. The 45,000 acres of forest, along with the additional thousands of acres of ski resorts and hiking trails, makes this recreation area a true travel destination.
- Some of the best recreation in the world can be found around Maine's southern beaches. The 7 miles of oceanfront sands at Old Orchard Beach invite all sorts of activity, whether you're on a weekend trip with friends or an annual adventure with the entire family. Go surfing, ride an oceanfront roller coaster, play games at the boardwalk arcade, or just relax in the sun.

Because freedom can't protect itself
In 2004, the ACLU filed a lawsuit challenging the FBI's authority to demand records through National Security Letters (NSL) and to gag NSL recipients from discussing record demands. The suit — the first of its kind — was brought on behalf of a "John Doe" Internet Service Provider that had been served with an NSL and had been prohibited from disclosing — to anyone — that the FBI had demanded records. The lawsuit resulted in numerous court rulings finding parts of the NSL statute unconstitutional. As a result of a settlement agreement in August 2010, the ACLU's "John Doe" client Nicholas Merrill is finally able to publicly identify himself and his former company as the plaintiffs in the case.

Tax Compliance:
Thousands of Federal Contractors Abuse the Federal Tax System

Since 1990, GAO has periodically reported on high-risk federal programs that are vulnerable to fraud, waste, and abuse. Two such high-risk areas are managing federal contracts more effectively and assessing the efficiency and effectiveness of federal tax administration. Weaknesses in the tax area continue to expose the federal government to significant losses of tax revenue and increase the burden on compliant taxpayers to fund government activities. Over the last several years, the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations requested GAO to investigate Department of Defense (DOD), civilian agency, and General Services Administration (GSA) contractors that abused the federal tax system. Based on that work GAO made recommendations to executive agencies including to improve the controls over levying payments to contractors with tax debt--many of which have been implemented--and referred 122 contractors to IRS for further investigation and prosecution. As requested, this testimony will highlight the key findings from prior testimonies and related reports. This testimony will (1) describe the magnitude of tax debt owed by federal contractors, (2) provide examples of federal contractors involved in abusive and potentially criminal activity related to the federal tax system, and (3) describe current law and proposed federal regulations for screening contractors with tax debts prior to the award of a contract.
In our previous audits and related investigations, we reported that thousands of federal contractors had substantial amounts of unpaid federal taxes. Specifically, about 27,000 DOD contractors, 33,000 civilian agency contractors, and 3,800 GSA contractors owed about $3 billion, $3.3 billion, and $1.3 billion in unpaid taxes, respectively. These estimates were understated because they excluded federal contractors that understated their income or did not file their tax returns; however, some contractors may be counted in more than one of these groups. As part of this work, we conducted more in-depth investigations of 122 federal contractors and in all cases found abusive and potentially criminal activity related to the federal tax system. Many of these 122 contractors were small, closely held companies that provided a variety of goods and services, including landscaping, consulting, catering, and parts or support for weapons and other sensitive programs for many federal agencies including the departments of Defense, Justice, and Homeland Security. These contractors had not forwarded payroll taxes withheld from their employees and other taxes to IRS. Willful failure to remit payroll taxes is a felony under U.S. law. Furthermore, some company owners diverted payroll taxes for personal gain or to fund their businesses. A number of owners or officers of the 122 federal contractors owned significant personal assets, including a sports team, multimillion dollar houses, a high-performance airplane, and luxury vehicles. Several owners gambled hundreds of thousands of dollars at the same time they were not paying the taxes that their businesses owed. Federal law, as implemented by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), does not now require contractors to disclose tax debts or contracting officers consider tax debts in making contracting decisions. Federal contractors that do not pay tax debts could have an unfair competitive advantage in costs because they have lower costs than tax compliant contractors on government contracts. GAO's investigation identified instances in which contractors with tax debts won awards based on price differential over tax compliant contractors.

I've been thinking it would be cool to get a sign like that and post it in a visible place at home, then use it to post announcements about my kids' accomplishments. I'd set it up so my wife could change it as well. We'd post things like "John did the dishes every day this week", "Mary aced her math test", etc.
The intent would be to show them we care and to give them positive reinforcement.

Top 10 goalie draft prospects
After a strong season at Boston College, Thatcher Demko leads the list
I provide a separate ranking for goalies due to the fact that I rank most of them fairly low relative to skaters. This is an above-average draft for goaltenders, with three pretty strong prospects at the top of this year's class in Thatcher Demko, Ville Husso and Alex Nedeljkovic.
For this year's group, the top three prospects would be towards the bottom third of the top 100 overall prospects on my board. However, it's always possible that we'll see one of them taken at the tail end of the first round, or shortly thereafter, depending upon how the early portion of the draft shakes out.
The following ranking and analysis are based on my own observations and include notes I've picked up in conversations with scouts and other NHL sources.
Top 100 index | No. 1-50 | No. 51-100 | Top 10 goalies
1. Thatcher Demko | Boston College (NCAA)
Born: Dec. 8, 1995 | 2013-14 stats: 24 GP, 2.24 GAA, .919 SV%
The San Diego native had one of the better under-19 seasons in the Hockey East conference in the modern era. He didn't surpass Jon Gillies' tremendous 2012-13 season save percentage (.931), but he did eclipse Cory Schneider's .916 (2004-05) and Jimmy Howard's .916 in 2002-03. He has the natural look of a goalie from a physical standpoint -- 6-foot-4, 192 pounds -- and by how he plays the game, as his high-end positioning and angles leave little room for shooters. He's sound technically, but Demko also has aggressiveness in his game and doesn't shy from challenging shooters. His reactions and quickness in his lower body are solid; he's quite nimble for a big man. According to scouts I've spoken with, Demko can still use some more explosiveness in his push-offs and lateral movements. His tracking of the puck also is a little inconsistent.

Mr Wednesday
I had plenty of time to read both of these while your bush-league timer counted down the days until I could push the goddamn agree button. The absurdity of the amount of restrictions in both of them was not lost on me. I'm convincing myself that you just hired some really **** lawyers so I can keep this image of a cool little development company that I've got going. At the first sign of someone getting screwed by the fine print, I'm out.

Hi: 10° Lo:1°
By IH Monday 10 December 2012 Updated: 12/12 07:50
WARWICKSHIRE County Council has been fined £30,000 following the death of four firefighters in the Atherstone warehouse blaze.
The council had already pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety legislation before the start of the trial at Stafford Crown Court.
Mr Justice MacDuff said the fine given to the council "in no way" summed up the cost of the four men's lives but reflected shortcomings in record-keeping and information given to fire crews at the time of the huge fire at the vegetable packing plant in November 2007.
He added the investigation had cost £5 million in total and he had issued a £30,000 fine because he "didn't want the public purse to suffer any more than it needed to."
He added: ""This dreadful accident was caused by a series of mishaps and failures occurring together some being more potent than others.
"The defendant (Warwickshire County Council) has reformed its risk management systems and training and equipment. I am entirely satisfied that there has been full rectification of these matters."
The bodies of John Averis, 27, from from Tredington, Ashley Stephens, 20, and Darren Yates-Badley, 24, both from Alcester, were recovered from the gutted warehouse, while Ian Reid, 44, from Stratford, died later in hospital after being pulled from the wreckage.
Defending, Ben Compton QC said the Atherstone fire marked the "darkest year" for firefighters in the last 30 years and had left families and colleagues filled with "grief and emptiness".
Some 100 firefighters, from Warwickshire, and neighbouring Hereford and Worcester and the West Midlands tackled the blaze at the site owned by Wealmoor Atherstone Ltd.
Three senior fire officers - involved in the command process on the fateful night of the fire - had previously been charged with manslaughter by gross negligence. All three were cleared by a court in May this year.
The charges prompted a war of words between the county's fire service and police force.
Warwickshire Police criticised the fire service for not being helpful enough during the investigation, a charge the fire service vigorously denied. They subsequently demanded an explanation from the Home Office as to why the three men were charged.
The investigation into the fire has already cost £4.6 million. Police remain convinced it was started deliberately but no one has ever been charged. Three men and a woman were arrested on suspicion of arson with intent to endanger life. in May 2009, but were later released without charge.

I would like to be able to mix random volumes of Iodiophor easily, but I am having a hard time wrapping my head around the 12.5 ppm measurement.
Can anyone tell me where I am going wrong?
As marked on the bottle:
12.5 ppm 1/4 oz per 2.5 gallons
1 tsp per 1.5 gallons
I have a syringe that is marked in mL and a water jug marked in Gallons, so I will be converting to mL/Gallon.
1/4 oz (7.4 mL) in 2.5 gallon = 2.96 mL/gallon
1 tsp (4.9 mL) in 1.5 gallons = 3.3 mL/gallon
Round those two given ratios to 3mL/gallon and that gives 7.92 x 10-4
12.5mL / 1,000,000 mL = 12.5 x 10-6
Are the two concentrations on the bottle not really closer to 8ppm?
p.p.m. = Parts per million = milligrams of soluble substance in each liter of solution
A 12.5 p.p.m solution of Iodophor contains 12.5 milligrams of Iodine in each liter of this solution .
The bottle you have contains a more concentrated solution , therefore it tells you to dilute it to the desired concentration ( p.p.m. ) .
In other words , in order to have a 12.5 p.p.m. solution of Iodophor , you should add 1 tsp of it to 1.5 Gallons of water .
Then you will have a solution which contains 12.5 milligrams of Iodine per liter ( 12.5 p.p.m. ) .
To continue this line of reasoning:
2.5 gallons is 2.5*3.7854 = 9.4635 liters which at 12.5 ppm implies that it contains 12.5*9.4635 = 118.294 mg of iodine which came from the 1/4 Oz (7.39336 mL) of stock. Conclusion: the concentration of iodine in the stock solution is 118.294/7.39366 = 16 mg/mL.
Thus if you want to make up 5 gallons at 25 ppm you would need 5*3.785*25/16 = 29.57 mL (a bit more than an ounce)
I think we are getting somewhere now. I was neglecting the dilution of the stock solution in my original thoughts. Clearing that up makes it easier to understand.
Is it safe to say that the two ratios listed on the bottle are just 'close enough' quantities? Assuming the 16 mg/mL stock solution -
1/4 oz per 2.5 gallons:
7.39366 mL * 16 mg/mL / 9.4635 L = 12.5 mg/L (ppm)
1 tsp in 1.5 gallons:
4.9 mL * 16 mg/mL / 5.6781 L = 13.8 mg/L (ppm)
Yes, they are clearly just approximate numbers as if you take the 1 tsp/1.5 gal that implies a concentration of the stock of
12.5*1.5*3.7854/5 = 14.1953 mg/mL taking the tsp to be 5 mL which is what one usually sees. This is not the same as 16 mg/L deduced from the 1/4 Oz per 2.5 gallon instruction. One could average the two numbers and round to 15 mg/mL or search the bottle label carefully looking for a concentration information or have a sample titrated in a laboratory. I'd just use the 15 mg/mL and not worry about being terribly accurate.
In fact , you don't have to make an exactly 12.5 p.p.m. solution of Iodophor .
The No-Rinse-Range is 12.5-25 p.p.m.

Dodd-Frank Act:
Eleven Agencies' Estimates of Resources for Implementing Regulatory Reform

This testimony provides information on selected federal agencies' reported funding and staff resources associated with implementing the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) in 2010, 2011, and 2012. The recent financial crisis is considered to be the worst since the Great Depression, and data from the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (Federal Reserve) show that it resulted in the loss of trillions of dollars in household wealth. Congress passed the Dodd-Frank Act in 2010 in response to the ongoing crisis, including in the legislation numerous provisions intended to strengthen oversight of insured depository institutions and nonbank financial companies and to consolidate consumer protection responsibilities that had been fragmented across multiple agencies. The Dodd-Frank Act also authorized the creation of new offices and agencies to implement the reforms. The extensive reforms and the need for new offices to implement them have raised questions about the potential costs to agencies of complying with the provisions. The testimony today focuses on (1) the agencies' funding estimates and the sources of funds associated with implementing the Dodd-Frank Act, (2) agencies' estimates of the number of new entities that will be created and the full-time equivalents (FTEs) they anticipate needing to carry out new responsibilities, and (3) challenges that the agencies faced in developing these estimates..
The amount of new funding the agencies reported as associated with implementing the Dodd-Frank Act varied significantly across the 11 agencies. For example, new funding resources related to Dodd- Frank responsibilities during the years 2011-2012 ranged from a low of $0 for Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to a high of around $329 million for Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Funding resources to implement the Dodd-Frank Act accounted for at least 25 percent of the agency's total budget increase at 9 of the 11 agencies in the most recent year for which data were available. Excluding the three agencies that the Dodd-Frank Act created (CFPB, Financial Stability Oversight Council (FSOC), and Office of Financial Research (OFR), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) devoted the highest share of total agency resources (25 percent) to implementing the Dodd-Frank provisions. Agencies reported that most of the costs related to implementing the provisions will be recurring. The agencies are relying on a variety of sources to fund the implementation costs for the new provisions, including assessments and revenues, appropriations, offsetting collections, and transfers from other agencies. Six of the 11 agencies reported that their funding would be fully or partly met by assessments imposed on regulated institutions or revenues from their operations. Three others reported that they would have to rely at least partly on appropriations. SEC said that it would use offsets (e.g., fees collected), and CFPB would use transfers from the Federal Reserve to fully fund its activities. Nearly all the agencies plan to have some staff work specifically on responsibilities related to the Dodd-Frank Act. Agencies can hire new staff, redirect staff from other areas, or use staff transferred from other agencies. According to data from the agencies, full-time equivalents (FTE) related to implementing the Dodd-Frank provisions for the years 2011-2012 ranged from a low of 0 for FTC to a high of 1,225 for CFPB. More specifically, FTC reported that it would implement the Dodd-Frank Act using existing resources and did not anticipate that the new requirements would have a noticeable impact on the agency's budget or operations, since its responsibilities under the Act were relatively limited. CFPB reported that all of its estimated FTEs were new hires, as the agency is currently being established. Furthermore, some agencies will be receiving staff and resources transferred from other agencies. Agencies faced numerous challenges in reporting the resources associated with implementation of the Dodd-Frank Act. Agencies told us that their reported funding and FTE resources reflect their best estimate of the level of resources required to implement existing and new responsibilities but stated that these estimates were uncertain. Beyond the normal challenges associated with estimating resource needs in the future, agencies told us that pending and evolving implementation actions, such as interagency transfers (e.g., from Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) to Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC)) and establishing new offices required by the Dodd-Frank Act, makes these estimates particularly uncertain and subject to change.
