How much cocoa powder per 1 cup flour (cookies) to achieve chocolate taste?
Hi I am wishing to add a chocolate flavor to a cookie recipe, seen here, http://www.itsallaboutrice.com/recipe...
There are no optional nuts being added and the flour is actually going to be 3 parts ww pastry to 1 part white rice.
I'm just curious how much cocoa powder I should add and do I need to remove this amount in flour?
Have you tested your modification without cocoa yet? That may be critical because changing the flour type is going to change the outcome of the recipe. Adding whole wheat flour will contribute some gluten, thus the result will be chewier - and possibly overly so - you need to find out what the textural result will be.
Adding cocoa, by the way, tends to reduce the structure of a cookie, so that it becomes crumblier and drier. *In general*, I find that I can modify recipes to up to 1 part cocoa for 3 parts flour, to substitute for 4 parts flour (thus if a recipe had 400 g flour, you could change to 100g cocoa, 300 g flour) before the structure really starts to deteriorate badly, and I usually go for maximum intensity possible so that's my set-point. However you don't need to be nearly so extreme: 1 part cocoa for 7 parts flour, substituting for 8 parts flour, will be fine in many cases. As you can see from the above, yes, it's usually better to remove the amount in flour that you add in cocoa. Otherwise the result is likely to be very dry.
It will never have a *chocolate* taste - the taste will always be of *cocoa* - to have a chocolate taste you'll need to use actual chocolate, but that requires much more thoroughgoing adjustments due to the high fat percentage. To an extent this can even be true of cocoa - which in "high-fat" type (usually better IMHO) has about 24% fat (the "low-fat" type has 9-10%). High fat cocoa will make the cookies denser, low-fat lighter.
re: AlexRast
hey Alex wow! great reply! thank you.
yes I have tested this recipe.
I now understand more about cocoa, thank you!
Your post is very informative and I thank you for your time. I will post results later on :D
re: curiousaboutcafos
Not to throw another wrench in your plans, but cocoa powder alters your baking powder/baking soda needs - natural cocoa powder calls for baking soda (it's the lighter colored cocoa). Dutch-processed (darker) powder needs baking soda, as it has had the acids removed.
re: tacosandbeer
Actually, if the leavening reaction were depending upon an acid/alkali reaction, it would be the Dutch-processed cocoa recipe which would benefit more from baking powder (baking soda is alkaline, + no acid = no rise). But it's not true in any case that natural-process cocoa must needs have baking soda, because the acidity is fairly low and in any case quite variable, so recipes that specify baking powder should probably still use them unless you are really certain of the impact from experiment. Meanwhile recipes that specify baking soda may have acid from other things (juices, sour milk, sour cream, etc. etc. so there again what leaven to use is not a given).
In short, cocoa type does NOT dictate the type of leavening used, in most situations. The only case where it would have an impact is in a recipe that was designed *from the outset* to use cocoa, AND designed to use natural process, AND designed so that what acidity was in it would affect the leavening (classic example: Devil's food cake)
re: tacosandbeer
Sorry, I see that I made an error in my differentiation, thanks for catching that!
My thought process was that adding cocoa to a recipe that was not designed to have cocoa in the first place, MIGHT change the outcome of the recipe if the leavening is not adjusted. And for someone who is already making changes to the recipe, it might be helpful to be keep that in mind.
I have no idea about the science mumbo jumbo above me but just wanted to say you can try replacing 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the flour with cocoa.
I've done this many times and with some recipes, the cookies can be a bit dry, but not enough to make a huge difference with that little cocoa. Your recipe calls for only 1 cup dry ingredients anyway so I don't see it making a huge difference.
Also, I have to agree that cocoa powder will not necessarily make your cookies taste chocolatey at all, even though they'll look chocolatey.
It might be best to just add in 1/2 cup of chopped dark chocolate if what you're wanting is a chocolate-tasting cookie.
Or add the cocoa and some chocolate to the batter at the end.
The cocoa powder is going to dry out the cookie. There isn't much fat in this recipe, either in the way of butter/oil or egg, so the finished product with ww pastry + rice flour + cocoa may not be as crisp as the original.
My best guess is that the original cookie recipe produces flat, wafer-like cookies that are crisp-tender, with no "rise." LIke AlexRast, I'm also guessing that the addition of ww pastry adds some chew but not much rise and are also dryer, as wheat flour tends to soak up more moisture than rice flour. Cocoa added on top of that would likely result in even dryer cookies because that soaks up moisture, too.
I also echo AlexRast that these will be cocoa and not rich, chocolatey cookies, esp since there's so little fat.
All of that said, I try to swap out not more than 2 or 3 Tbsp of cocoa per cup of flour--I stick with volume measures, even though I know that weights are far more accurate. More than that and I find the cookies are dry and get stale quickly.

Customer Reviews & Testimonials
I would be happy to recommend Fresh Tracks to anyone planning a Canadian Vacation
" Many thanks to you and the other Fresh Tracks team members for your help in putting together our Rockies vacation. My wife and I had a fantastic time. All the connections and pickups went smoothly and the accommodation was excellent.... read more It was well worth spending a little extra to stay at the Fairmont at Jasper and Rimrock at Banff. We had dinner on the outside patio at the Fairmont sitting in the late evening sun, gazing across the lake at the snow covered mountains whilst elk grazed on the lawn and kids below us played in the heated pool. It was all a bit surreal. The view from our room at the Rimrock was amazing. The suggestion of the Canadian train journey to Jasper was good as well. The amount of time on the train was just right and after we got used to the size of the sleeping compartment we really enjoyed this leg of the journey and got to meet some interesting folk in the observation car and over breakfast and lunch, and the scenery was stunning. I even saw a bear trotting beside the tracks on the way into Jasper. Perhaps the only disappointment was that the train was late getting into Jasper by a few hours so we didn't have much time to look around and in hindsight, perhaps we could have spent a whole day there with another night at the lodge. Maybe warn people taking the train that delays are frequent as it waits for freight trains to pass. I imagine this is the same on the Rocky Mountaineer as well. The trip from Jasper to Banff was also a highlight - especially the Glacier excursion. We found all of the tour operators to be professional, friendly and organised. Once again many thanks for your help. I would be happy to recommend Fresh Tracks to anyone planning a Canadian Vacation. "
Kevin & Robin , QLD, Australia
Simply incredible
" The trip was awesome. Infact, we were little sad when it came to an end. Our kids were happy and full of energy through out. We all loved Banff, Jasper and of course the train journey. That was simply incredible. We have a few relatives... read more in Vancouver so we caught up with them. Thanks again for helping us book this great trip which is now a part of our valuable memories. "
Mona, ON, Canada
I was especially pleased with your care and planning on our behalf
" The airport trip went smoothly. The earlier departure was the right approach even though the later one would have timed out fine, but we felt more at ease knowing we had the extra time. The morning worked out well anyway. We woke... read more early and walked downtown for breakfast and back. By the time we left the Fairmont Springs we were satisfied that we had done everything we had hoped to do. Our flight out of Calgary was delayed. We feared that we would miss our connection and be stranded in Chicago overnight, but as happened throughout our trip, the timing worked out fine and everything was clear and ready when we needed it. The whole trip worked out perfectly. Just enough time in Vancouver, just enough time on the train, just enough time everywhere. On paper it appeared to be too jammed packed, but in reality it was just the right amount of time. We felt we experienced each leg properly. All of the tours were well run and great fun. It took 11 hours to get from Jasper to Banff, but we were blown away by the views. Each of those operators were spot on – on time, well planned and good fun. We had train buddies, tour buddies, gondola buddies, that we would bump into along the way and greet each other like lifelong friends. I was especially pleased with your care and planning on our behalf. The weather had the potential to throw off the entire trip, but you kept us informed and confident that it would work out and of course it did. Thank you very much for making this special event so memorable for us. "
Mitch & Mary, MD, USA
Thank you for all you did for us
" What a fantastic experience my grandson and I had in Canada! There was so much to do in Vancouver. We went to Stanley Park and the Aquarium, the Lookout Tower and dinner in the revolving restaurant. And the next day we went to... read more the Capilano Bridge and Treetops Adventure and dinner at Earl's. Then the train trip was so much fun, made so by Adam, our porter and Moun in the dining room and of course, the beautiful sceneryl outside the window. The Canadian Rockies are breathtakingly beautiful. And the hotels we stayed in were excellent. At each one (the Fairmont Waterfront, the Jasper Park Lodge and the Banff Springs Hotel), the receptionist would say, "I understand you requested 2 beds and a view." And that's what we got, 2 beds and the most gorgeous views and at each hotel we were also upgraded. At the Fairmont Waterfront we were upgraded to the Gold Level and at the Jasper Park Lodge we were upgraded to a junior suite.Thank you for that, it made our trip so enjoyable. And the transfer drivers were so nice, and we learned so much from the Brewster guide, Ric, on the Ice Field Parkway. What an outstanding day that was! Thank you for all you did for us to make it such a great trip. We really appreciate it. "
Rondi & Jason, IL, USA
Absolutely amazing and breathtaking
" The trip was wonderful! Absolutely amazing and breathtaking. Thank you so much for your help with the planning. I did lots of sightseeing... from the Capilano suspension bridge in Vancouver to hiking near the Bow River in Banff.... read more The trip from Jasper to Banff was incredible... The Rockies are so bright and happy. And the train trip was a classic experience that I will definitely have to do again. "

Olympic sale raises cash for disabled
Posted: January 24, 2013|
The sale of a running vest from the 1948 London Olympics and other memorabilia helped raise funds for a Devon charity for people with learning and physical disabilities.
The items belonged to Geoffrey Tudor, whose son Eddie spent some of his happiest years at Northam Lodge, in Bideford, until his sudden death last year.
Mr Tudor had captained the Oxford University cross-country team in 1947 and was selected at very short notice to run in the 3,000m Olympic steeplechase the following year – something he described as "the tallest of tall orders".
But Mr Tudor said he faced "an even greater challenge" when his second son was born severely handicapped with cerebral palsy.
He said: "This was a real life-changing experience. Eddie's courage, sense of humour and eagerness to accept any challenge was a joy to witness and share.
"It made competing in a race seem tame in comparison." Mr Tudor's running vest and other memorabilia raised £450 in a recent sale at Bearnes Hampton and Littlewood, of Exeter.
The money will go towards a fund started in Eddie's memory which has already contributed more than £14,000 towards a major improvement scheme at the charity's Rose Hill site.
The project will provide modern day care facilities and accommodation that can be used by other groups at evenings and weekends.

MADISON — Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen announced today that his office would not seek Supreme Court review of the March 12, 2013, Court of Appeals order in Madison Teachers, Inc., et al. v. Walker, et al., Appeal No. 2012 AP 2067. In that order, the Court of Appeals refused to stay a Dane County Circuit Court's order declaring certain portions of 2011 Wis. Act 10 to be unconstitutional. Regarding this decision, Attorney General Van Hollen stated:
"We asked for a stay because of our concern that municipal employers and others would misconstrue Judge Colas's order as something that would prevent them from following Act 10. While the Court of Appeals denied our motion for a stay, it also was very clear that Judge Colas's order does not have statewide application and does not apply to any non-parties. Under the circumstances, we're content to focus on the merits and we look forward to a decision upholding Act 10 in its entirety, consistent with the prior ruling of United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Judicial Circuit."

I do like my purse, but my daughter had to give me hers because she likes to wear it across her chest and since she is 5'8" tall and I'm just 5 ' it does not fit her well. I do wear across my chest for safety reasons.
My Galaxy tablet is a snug fit.

I love this purse because: it is so sturdy, lots of compartments to keep everything organized and the best thing you can wash & drip dry and it still looks amazing!
By: Barbara
Have used all kinds of different bags to carry my stuff while traveling, but always came home disappointed in one way or another. The number one complaint being that my shoulders would just be so painful after a day lugging my stuff around.
This year I just happen to past by the bag, BROOKLYN WOMEN'S TABLET PURSE, and thought I would give t a try, but I will have to admit, not with much enthusiasm.
Whoa! I was not only pleased, but amazed! Not one day did I ever complain about the discomfort of the weight on my shoulder.
Only wish? I wish they had design in a bigger version when you needed more items. This one is good for simple grab and go item and electronics.
By: Laura
Best bag I've bought, it fits my ipad and case, giant drink bottle and lunch perfectly. I've been using it for about a year and am thinking of buying another colour.
By: Barbara
Really intelligent bag
This bag is a solution to problems I didn't know I had until I got it. Bright fabric inside makes finding things easy. It has logical divisions and the front zipper pocket is an easy access to my phone. If the zipper is only partially closed you don't have to unbutton the very cute buttons to get into it. Got great compliments the first time I had it with me. Big yay!
By: Kim
Cute but flawed
I love this bag for a lot of reasons. It's cute. It holds a lot of things. It has zippered pockets so you know nothing will fall out. However, there are 2 things I don't like about it. 2 of the 3 buttons fell off within about a month of owning it. One of them I never found so I can't even sew them back on. And the strap isn't adjustable. I'm a large woman and I can't wear it across my body because it sits on my breast, which is just awkward.
By: Jamie
Good Bag....but
I bought this bag about 8 months ago and I really like it. The middle button is now discolored, it turned a little lighter than the others. It is big enough to fit my I pad with plenty of room for a wallet and other junk. Overall a good bag but it did have that little problem.
By: Jessica
Love this bag, but...
I have the red bag and I love it, but the strap has a single connecting stitch that rests on the shoulder while wearing it. The weight of the purse contents put stress on the stitching and has now begun to come apart. My sister in laws yellow one is doing the same thing. I am going to contact customer service in hopes of a little help with it, if no resolve I may just have to break out the sewing machine
By: Diva
Love the Bag
I got this bag from my school bookstore. They ran out before I could get it in more colors. It is great when traveling it fits my IPad, phone and wallet with no problems. I'm looking for it in more colors.
By: Angela
Great Functional Design.
I love the functionallity of this bag. It holds my NOOK perfectly and I still have lots of room for other stuff. I also love that it is designed to be worn across the body. It makes carrying the extra weight much easier. The only complaint I have is that upon coming back to order a second bag about a year later I found out that they have changed the inside of the bag to horrible polka dot pattern. It looks like the inside of a diaper bag. I am a professional woman and really would like to look the part. I have a separate diaper bag just for that purpose. PLEASE change the inside back to the nice light green or heck go to a light grey or white. Thank you. :)

This is exactly the same instrument ESP makes for Kirk to his specifications.
In most respects the limited edition ESP KH-2 Kirk Hammett Signature Series Electric Guitar is an M-II Deluxe that's been loaded with screaming EMG-81/60 active humbuckers. The extra thin flat neck has a 24 extra-jumbo fret fingerboard to provide a springboard to intense, fleet-fingered flurries of riffage and extreme note bending. The finely crafted skull-and-crossbones pearl inlays add an extra dollop of menace. Includes hardshell case.

Patrick Paligraf leads the Musketeers with 25 RBIs this season.
April 4, 2013
Camden, N.J. (Campbell's Field)
Xavier Ousted By Dayton In Pitcher's Duel At A-10 Tourney
Senior Brian Muransky was untouchable in a 1 hour and 48 minute pitcher's dual that resulted in the No. 4 Xavier baseball team being eliminated by No. 3 Dayton, 1-0. The loss ends the Musketeers' season at 30-27.
In The Last Week...
Xavier went 1-2 in a series at Saint Louis, falling 4-3 in 11 innings on Friday and 11-1 on Sunday. The Musketeers trounced SLU, 14-4, on Saturday. XU won at OU on Tuesday, 15-10, thanks to Patrick Paligraf's six RBIs. On Wednesday, Xavier dropped a hard fought decision to No. 17/16 Indiana, 9-5.
Last Meeting - Dayton
The two teams last met in 2011, playing a three-game series and then meeting in the A-10 Tournament. Xavier dropped the first game of the series, 0-6, but took the final two games of the series, 6-2 and 5-1. UD eliminated XU from the A-10 Tournament with a 1-0 decision.
Lighting Up The Scoreboard
In its last eight games, Xavier has been on quite a tear. The Musketeers have hit .370 as a team, with a slugging percentage of .492 and OBP of .425. XU is averaging 9.5 rpg during the stretch.
The Power of Hayden Field
In just four home games at Xavier's home field, Hayden Field, the Musketeers are hitting the laces off of the ball. As a team, XU is hitting .412 with a slugging percentage of .570 and OBP of .466. Xavier is averaging 10.8 rpg at Hayden, while hitting four home runs, 12 doubles and a triple.
300 Club
Ten Musketeers have played in at least 10 games and are hitting over .300: Jake Forrester (.417), Mark Elwell (.392), Selby Chidemo (.375), Brian Bruening (.364), Joe Forney (.343), Daniel Rizzie (.333), Tres Eberhardt (.333), Seth Dawes (.333), Vinny Nittoli (.315) and Derek Hasenbeck (.306).
What A Great "Pal"igraf
Patrick Paligraf has been on a tear this week, putting up eight RBIs in XU's games against Ohio and No. 17/16 Indiana. Paligraf drove in six RBIs on a pair of bases-loaded hits in the second and third innings at OU and followed with three hits and two RBIs at home against the nationally-ranked Hoosiers. Paligraf went 5-for-10 at the plate with three doubles. He leads XU and ranks second in the A-10 with 25 RBIs.

To the north of Yangon (Rangoon) lie the Irrawaddy plains, holding not only important populations of declining waterbirds, but also supporting no less than four endemic species (the striking Hooded Treepie, Jerdon's Minivet, White-throated Babbler and Burmese Bush Lark), which are confined to the dry forest and thorn scrub characteristic of this endemic-rich area. A good proportion of our time will be spent in the southern end of the eastern mountains known as the Chin Hills, in the vicinity of Mount Victoria. These mountains form part of the Eastern Himalayas, another endemic-rich bird region that also sustains several species only seen by a handful of intrepid birders during the past 70 years. These include White-browed Nuthatch, Mount Victoria Babax, Burmese Bushtit, Black-bibbed Tit and Chin Hills Wren-Babbler. Our final destinations will be in the southern Shan State situated in the mountains of central Burma. Here we will explore the broad-leaved forests around Kalaw for Burmese Yuhina, another range-restricted species, and a good selection of other hill forest birds. Lastly, we will visit Inle Lake to search for the highly localized Jerdon's Bushchat and near-endemic Collared Myna amongst a wealth of interesting wetland species.

The fee for the Myanmar (Burma) – Endemics of Remote Asia tour is US$4,450 * £2,860 * €3,400 * ZAR40,220 per person sharing. (Please note: this does NOT include the internal flights as mentioned in the itinerary. As a general guideline, we suggest you budget +- US$400. We can book these flights on your behalf at no extra charge.)
The single supplement cost is US$275 and will be charged if you wish to have single accommodation. If RBT cannot provide you with a rooming partner although you choose to share, the single supplement will become applicable. We will make all reasonable efforts to ensure that a rooming partner is found if you do wish to share.
This tour fee includes:
•All meals from lunch on day 1 to lunch on day 14;
•Bottled drinking water;
•All lodgings as per itinerary;
•Ground transportation and boat trips mentioned in the itinerary;
•Reserve entrance fees;
•Guiding services of a M17026 leader and local guides; and
•Tips for local guides and services.
The tour fee does not include:
•ANY flights, including the domestic flights mentioned in the itinerary (see above);
•Any beverages (including mini-bar charges at hotels);
•Special gratuities; and
•Telephone calls, laundry and other items of a personal nature.
a) Due to constantly fluctuating exchange rates, we now quote our tours in 4 currencies. The tour price is however fixed only in the currency printed in bold (US$), and the actual cost in the other currencies listed will be adjusted according to prevailing exchange rates at the time of final invoicing (usually 3 months before the tour.) Approximate flight and single supplement rates have been converted to US$ but are also subject to exchange rate movements.
b) Rates are based upon group tariffs; if the tour does not have sufficient registration (a minimum of 6 paying participants) a small party supplement will have to be charged.
c) Furthermore, these costs are subject to unforeseen increases in tour related costs and may have to be adjusted as a result.
d) Lastly, we may be forced to change or alter the itinerary and / or the designated M17026 leader at short or no notice due to unforeseen circumstances; please be aware that we will attempt to adhere as close to the original program as possible.
As noted above, gratuities (drivers, hotel staff, restaurants etc) are included on this tour. However, this does NOT include your M17026 leader/s. If, therefore, you feel that he/they have given you excellent service, it is entirely appropriate to tip them.
Special Notes:
•A fair amount of time is spent in vehicles and we do also undertake 3 internal flights, as we do have to cover fair distances in order to get to the best birding areas. The more luggage you pack, the less room there is in the vehicle (plus you may also have to pay for overweight luggage on flights!), so it is important for the comfort of your fellow travellers that you do not over-pack. Kindly stick to 20kg (44lbs) for check in luggage and 8kg (+-18lbs) for hand luggage.
•Leeches do occur in some of the reserves; encountering them really depends on how much recent rain there has been. If you do have leach socks, it might therefore be a good idea to bring them along; otherwise, tucking your long pants into your socks is usually sufficient to deter them from latching on.
•Fitness: This Myanmar tour does not require a high level of fitness but participants should be in good general health as most of the birding will be done on foot, and may require walking for several hours at a time. However this will generally be done on flat, easy trails and downhill along quiet back-roads. Should you have any physical limitations, please notify us in advance of departure. Please also note that for much of the tour you will be far away from modern medical facilities.
The first day of the tour is essentially an arrival day and you are free to arrive at any time on this day. Please note however that lunch on day 1 is included in the tour price and we will do some birding around town in the afternoon, as well as visit the spectacular Shwedagon Pagoda in the early evening of the first day. The tour will conclude after lunch on day 14 in Yangon. It is recommended that you book your international flight to depart no earlier that the late afternoon/early evening on this day. If you wish to arrive early and/or depart late and would like assistance in this regard, kindly contact the M17026 office.
Yangon is the main port of entry for international flights in Myanmar and is well serviced by many of the world's major airlines. We have the capacity to advise you on the best route according to your preferences, but your local travel agent will best be able to book these flights for you. We can, however, book the internal flights on your behalf. IMPORTANT: please DO NOT book your international flights until you have consulted the M17026 office for confirmation on the status of the tour.

text: The point of any promotion is to get people excited, generate publicity, and hopefully get individuals to purchase your product. In the case of Disneyland that "magic number" would be reflected mainly in Theme Park attendance, followed by souvenir sales. So I ask, all personal feelings aside, are the current promotions working? I know the park has been experiencing record attendance since the 50th, and the off seasons have either shrunk, or disappeared completely. September to mid November used to be DEAD... now they have the Halloween promotional to pick up the slack. January to May (excluding major Holidays, Spring Break, and the start of Summer ) used to be a ghost town... now they have YOMD. I'm not sure if this increase in attendance is due to increased international tourism (weak American dollar), increased local attendance (doubtful) or actual park promotions. So I thought I would ask everyone's opinion.

I just received the annual call from Yellow Book trying to sell my business advertising space, to which I quickly replied "no thanks". Which the next response in the sales pitch was "May I ask why not?" To which I replied, "because I don't need it."
In this context (local phone book ads) that response is a honest one, as almost anyone who has been in the tech consulting business on a "small shop" scale for a while will probably agree. The cost-benefit just isn't there until your company is a certain size AND when/if you have a service that a lot of people locally need and/or want. And personally, I'm not all that interested in running a large company just yet. (I'd rather enjoy my time with my children, thus staying a "small business" is the easiest way to do that.)
When we first started out we ran ads in a few places around town to get our name out in front of thousands of people. After two years of that without a single nibble, we have ditched that almost entirely and have focused on what has consistently brought people "in the door". Word of Mouth (WoM) referrals (referrals from clients, references on blogs and websites, etc.), our website (via search engines), our open source WordPress plugins and of course happy, repeat clients.
The business that we're in, and our specialty in particular, is still a pretty niche market overall. Thus the vast majority of our clients are out-of-state or out-of-country, which makes perfect sense given that most of what we do is focused on the "online community" and not a geographic community.
So, yes, we honestly don't need traditional advertising and any local traditional advertising that we may do will serve some other purpose as well. That way, at the very least it helps others' in the community (like supporting the arts or childrens' sports leagues).

Cocktail 101: Five Essential Cocktail Books
I'd include Jeff Berry's "Beachbum Berry Remixed", a compilation of two of his prior indispensable volumes on classic Tiki drinks ("Grog Log" and "Sippin' Safari".) They're impeccably researched and great primers on the art of classic Tiki cocktail making in the 1930s-rooted tradition of Don the Beachcomber, which every serious craft cocktail aficionado should explore at some point. I carry the app version ("Tiki+") on my iPhone.

NEW YORK - Oliver Stone will write and direct a film about Edward Snowden, one of two high-profile films in the works about the National Security Agency leaker.
Stone announced Monday that he plans to adapt "The Snowden Files: The Inside Story of the World's Most Wanted Man," a book by Guardian journalist Luke Harding. The project pairs one of cinema's most controversial directors with one of the most explosive news events in recent years - one that is ongoing.
"This is one of the greatest stories of our time," Stone said in a statement. He added that making such a film is "a real challenge."
He will have some deep-pocketed competition. Sony Pictures last month purchased the big-screen rights to Glenn Greenwald's "No Place to Hide: Edward Snowden, the NSA and the U.S. Surveillance State." The film is being produced by James Bond producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson.
Stone has advocated for the former NSA contract systems analyst, who is living in Russia on a temporary grant of asylum after leaking massive amounts of NSA documents to the media.
"To me, Snowden is a hero because he revealed secrets that we should all know, that the United States has repeatedly violated the Fourth Amendment," Stone said in a press conference at the Karlovy Vary Film Festival in the Czech Republic.

As tears fell down my face, I finished watching the finale and felt a bittersweet SMASH wave come over me. The finale had everything; stylized camera moves, Times Square walk-throughs, name droppings, Tom on the prowl for some man meat, Jimmy tantrums, horrible loaded plot-driving dialogue, we heard Eileen sing (YIKES), and lots of loose ends got tied up. I've had a torrid love affair with Smash since the beginning and I'm sad to see it go, so let's go out with a 5,6,7,8 -SMASH!
Here we go –

Business Presentation: "First Price Auction with Three Bidders Affected by Information"
Wednesday, February 19, 2014 at 1:00pm
De La Salle, Room 300 - Capalbo Room 4513 Manhattan College Pkwy., Bronx, NY 10471
This presentation studies First Price Auction with three bidders when the bidders gain information about the other bidders' valuation. If bidders have two possible valuations and independently and privately learn the others' valuation with some probability, there are twelve different types of bidders who are affected by information. In equilibrium, low value bidders bid their true value regardless of their information, while the high value bidders, except the informed ones who face two low value bidders, randomize over the bid interval following some bid distributions. This paper characterizes the equilibria and derives exact solution for equilibrium bidding behaviors parameterized by degree of information.
Three passport points will be awarded for attendance. Refreshments will be served.

Carl 'The Cobra' Froch ready to unleash his venom on George Groves on historic night
Posted: May 31, 2014|
AS the Wembley Arena was being shaken to its foundations by thousands of fight fans baying for blood, Carl Froch's eyes remained transfixed on the man who threatens his domain yet again.
George Groves grinned uncomfortably as they both posed for the cameras, but would have undoubtedly felt his soul burning from the vicious glaze centimetres away from him.
A rage has been stirring inside of Froch over the last few months in which he has to withstand countless jibes about his age, his technical skills and other nefarious attempts to unsettle him.
And as he came face to face with Groves at yesterday's weigh-in, you sense he cannot wait to ram those insults back where they came from by crashing his right hand on his nemesis' chin.
Related content
That much was confirmed when Froch stepped down from the stage to give a blisteringly quick interview delivered with the same venom as one of his jabs.
"It is going to be so nice to send George Groves back to the hole he crawled out of," he said.
"I've not heard the end of him for so long, and while I've really got nothing that bad against him, he's just gone on and on and on.
"Tonight will be a chance to put this whole saga behind me, put him to bed and get on with my life."
The nation has undoubtedly been captivated by this spiteful conflict which has commanded TV screens and back and front pages over the last week.
Indeed not since Nigel Benn and Chris Eubank demonstrated their hate for each other in the early 90s has the country witnessed anything like it.
It will certainly be barbaric, but amid all the leather that will be exchanged come 10pm, there will also be plenty of beauty.
Duking it out at a national stadium full of 80,000 fans is not only a triumph for Froch and Groves, but also the sport of boxing.
And what will unfold under the famous arch will be passed down from generation to generation in what will be a history-making event that is unlikely to repeated in Britain for many years.
The sheer size and scale of this spectacle has certainly dawned on both men in the last couple of days having realised they will bring the country to a standstill when they emerge for their ringwalk at 9.45pm.
And the puppetmaster behind this showcase, Eddie Hearn, one of boxing's true great promoters, said the animosity between them was pivotal to it.
"It's got to be personal," he said.
"I've heard it time and time again 'I don't dislike Carl Froch', 'I don't dislike George Groves' – what absolute rubbish.
"Carl Froch can't stand George Groves, George Groves can't stand Carl Froch.
"You have to go to bed at night thinking about the other person, you have to do your hard sparring thinking about the other person.
"You have to get up on those cold mornings thinking about the other person, you have to do a run thinking about the other person, it's simple.
"It's what prepares you, it's what drives you and it makes a great rivalry.
"And you know we can, as a promoter, sit here and say it's great these two have so much respect for each other. You look at a fight like Froch, Kessler – that was a fight really built out of respect for two warriors if you like and we sold that fight very well.
"This one is easy – you let it sell itself."
And now that all the talking is over and done with, tonight's fight will merely be settled on this: which man can punch the hardest.
Froch possesses unbelievable strength and resilience, a man who when faced with adversity somehow summons courage and willingness to fight back.
Groves, the flashy Londoner, who can complete a Rubik's cube in three minutes, can fight with blistering speed and movement.
It is a beautiful melting pot of styles and when the crowd yesterday was asked who would win by Sky's Adam Smith it was very much 50/50.
Both men, as you would expect, also claim they are going to emerge victorious with their hands held aloft.
Tonight we will finally get our answer.

April 1966 M. J. SEIBERT 3,247,851
APPARATUS FOR APPLYING LIQUIDS TO THE BODY Filed March 13, 1962 INVENTOR.
Margaretta Jean Seiberf her ATTORNEYS United States Patent 3,247,851 APPARATUS FOR APPLYING LIQUIDS TO THE BODY Margaretta Jean Seihert, 21 Spahr St., Pittsburgh 32, Pa. Filed Mar. 13, 1962, Ser. No. 179,348 3 Claims. (Cl. 128254) This invention relates to the treatment of various portions of the body by the application of liquids and is for an apparatus for supplying liquid to a pad or compress on the area to be kept moist. This application is a continuation-in-part of my application Serial No. 28,806, filed May 12, 1960, now abandoned.
In many cases post-operative treatment requires that the patient be denied water for a considerable period of time during which he sulfers considerable discomfort. This can be relieved to a great extent by keeping the lips and mouth moist, but ordinarily a nurse cannot devote to one patient the attention necessary to do this with suflicient frequency. In my application above referred to, one form of apparatus is disclosed by means of which a gauze pad iapplied'over the mouth is supplied with liquid at a controlled rate such as to keep the lips moist and humidify the air being inhaled, without, however, supplying it at a rate that will cause the patient to swallow, or so rapidly as to wet the bed clothes, although there may be some excess not evaporated, that may be absorbed by a towel.
In addition to this condition, there are many cases where doctors recognize the efficacy of warm wet compresses, but do not direct such treatment because it is impractical to expect a nurse to keep the pads properly moistened and at any reasonably uniform temperature. There is a further hazard of getting wet dressings too hot and actually burning the area to which they are applied. Use of electric heating pads is not permitted in most hospitals, where extreme care is taken to avoid any possibility of electric circuits being grounded or short-circuited in the presence of moisture or moist dressings with possible injury to the patient or an attendant.
Where wet dressings are used about open wounds, sterile medicated solutions are generally used, these being supplied in bottles, usually 1000 cc. bottles, by a drug concern or seller of hospital supplies, and while there is uniformity in the capacity of the bottles furnished by different suppliers and the closures are generally standard as to size, there is a variation of shapes of bottles supplied by different concerns.
According to the present invention I preferably provide a receptacle in the form of a bottle or vessel of glass or plastic with means for suspending it in an inverted position, and to which solution from any commercial source may be transferred. It is provided on the neck or outlet with a closure on which is a discharge nipple to which a flexible tube, such as a vinyl plastic tube, may be fitted. In the preferred form there is a second nipple on the closure which constitutes a continuation of a tube that extends up through the inverted bottle-like vessel to the top which may serve the double function of an air inlet tube, or a liquid inlet tube when liquid is being transferred from a suppliers bottle to this unit. At the discharge end of the flexible tube is an outlet terminal, preferably for most purposes one which tapers toward its free end to a restricted outlet constituting a metering orifice through which liquid will flow at a predetermined rate, these terminals or outlet nozzles being supplied in graduated sizes.
There is provided a jacket, of rubber or of plastic, but which is preferably somewhat resilient, which snugly fits about the lower end of the inverted vessel or receptacle, and in which is embedded an electric resistance heating wire, with a sealed-in thermostat, for heating the liquid in the dispensing vessel to a predetermined temperature.
The vessel is hung in an elevated position with the flex- "ice ible tube which is several feet long, extending to the area of the patients body to be treated. The metering terminal or nozzle is embedded in a gauze pad or other absorbent mass which is to be wet with the fluid. Where the heating jacket is used, a flexible disposable cellophane or similar tubing of several times the diameter of the vinyl tube is fixed about the vinyl tube to provide a dead air space around the vinyl tube through which the liquid is flowing.
An object of the present invention is to provide a safe gravity flow apparatus for keeping a pad or compress applied to an area of the body moist.
A further object is to provide an apparatus for this purpose which will keep the pad at the desired uniform temperature.
A further object of the invention is to provide a device which can be used with solutions furnished in the bottles of any manufacturer irrespective of their shape.
A further object is to provide apparatus for this purpose which can go for long periods of time without attention, while a still further object is to provide a safety feature for controlling the admission of air to the apparatus to prevent a rate of flow higher than that required.
These and other objects and advantages are secured by my invention which may be more fully understood by reference to the accompanying drawings which show certain embodiments thereof and in which:
FIG. 1 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of one form of apparatus embodying my invention;
FIG. 2 is a section through the discharge terminal of the tubing showing it embedded in a pad of gauge or fabric;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged perspective view of the container shown in-FIG. 1;
FIG. 4 is a fragmentary vertical section through a modified form of air inlet valve;
FIG. 5 is a view partly in elevation and partly in section of still another form of air inlet valve; i
FIG. 6 is a detail fragmentary view showing an air inlet tube for the device of FIG. 3, having a check valve at the lower end thereof, the view having a vertical section; and
FIG. 7 is a fragmentary view showing more or less schematically an alternative arrangement for heating the liquid.
Referring to the drawings, and first to FIGS. 1 to 3, 2 designates a receptacle such as a bottle of either glass or plastic with a bail 3 secured to a band 4 clamped about the base so that it may be suspended in an inverted position from a stand in the same manner as vessels used for intravenous injection of fluid. It has a restricted neck 5 which is externally threaded, onto which a cap 6 is secured. The cap has a nipple 7 projecting therefrom, the inner end of which terminates inside the cap.
There is a tube 8 sealed in the cap with a short extension at the exterior of the cap, and a long portion that reaches well up into the bottle, preferably close to the opposite end. As hereshown, the projecting outer end is externally threaded so that a closure cap may be re-movably secured thereto. However, in use, there may be many occasions involving long periods of treatment when a flexible plastic tube 10 is attached thereto. The opposite end of this tube is attached to the discharge nipple of another bottle 11 hung in an inverted position at the same or a higher elevation. The container or bottle 2 may be manufactured to be of uniform shape and size for all units, while the bottle 11 may be the container supplied by supplier of sterile solutions for use by hospitals, each supplier usually having a bottle different in some respect as to shape or contour from those of other suppliers. Usually both containers will be of standard 1000 cc. capacity.
Fitted about the lower portion only of the bottle-like receptacle, that is the neck end, which is the lower portion when the bottle is inverted, is a rubber jacket 12 that envelopes only about half to two-thirds of the height of the bottle from the neck up. Its interior contour is accurately matched to the exterior contour of the receptacle 2, which is the reason why it is preferred that 2 be.a special bottle since the jacket could not conform to the variety of shapes furnished by different suppliers. The hospital may thus have one unit adapted for use with any solution from any supplier which any doctor on the staff may specify. The jacket has embedded within it electric resistance heating wires 13. There is a protuberance 14 on the jacket in which is housed a completely sealed thermostat, which is of usual construction embodying a bi-metal strip that flexes as it heats or cools to open or close a circuit through the heater wires from an appliance cord 15 that is provided with a manual switch 16, and which may be plugged into a standard outlet. The thermostat is schematically shown at 13a in FIG. 3.
Since the thermostat is completely housed in rubber, it cannot be tampered with, nor is there any' metal through which a ground may be made that would shock the patient or any attendant who happened to touch -the device. Because of the resistance wire being completely embedded in rubber, and because of the bottle being of insulating material, the arrangement makes it impossible for any stray electrical current to reach the fluid, and through the fluid be conducted to the patient.
The heater will heat liquid in the receptacle 2 to a definite temperature specified by the instrument builder and the design of the thermostat. I have found that if the thermostat opens at a temperature of 180 F., the liquid in the bottle, if the receptacle is glass and the bottle contains 1000 cc. of solution, its maximum temperature will reach 145 F. As the liquid level in the bottle or receptacle 2 falls, there will be an inconsequential innew patient. 'It terminates in a blunt-ended plastic nozzle 18, preferably of a resilient, non-metallic material so that it cannot pierce the pad into which it is placed or injure the person to whom the pad is applied or be uncomfortable should the patient assume a position where the weight of his body would be likely to come against the nozzle. The nozzle has a discharge orifice of a carefully selected size that will pass no more than a predetermined number of drops per minute.
Hospitals are supplied with rolls of crushed cellophane tubing which, when opened out, is about an inch in diameter, and while being flexible it is irregularly contoured, somewhat stiff, and does not of itself flatten out or collapse. This tubing is presently used as a package for instruments which have been sterilized, a length of tubing being drawn from the crushed roll, cut off, the instruments placed therein, and the ends sealed by twisting them and putting a piece of adhesive tape or cellophane tape around the twisted ends. According to the present invention I use a length of this crushed plastic tubing approximately the length of the vinyl tube 17 and place it over the vinyl tube 17 as shown in FIG. 1, opening it out so that it is partially inflated. This enveloping tubing is designated 19 in FIG. 1. The upper end is twisted around the upper end of the vinyl tube 17 and it may be taped, if necessary, although the character of plastic from which it is made is such that it will usually remain twisted. The other end of the tubing 19 is similarly closed around the plastic tube 17 adjacent the nozzle. This provides a dead air space between the vinyl tube 17 and the air in the environment in which the apparatus is used, so that there will be little transfer of heat from the liquid flowing in the vinyl tube from the container to the discharge nozzle.
In use the container 2 may be substantially filled with the solution to be applied to the patient and the closure 6 applied thereto. A receptacle comprising a bottle is then hung in an inverted position by means of the bail 3. The tube 17 with its enveloping tubing 19 will have been preferably applied to the discharge nipple on the terminal and the nozzle 18 will be embedded in a pad of gauze or in a towel or other fabric compress indicated at P in FIG. 2. Usually it will be looped through the fabric to prevent its accidental removal. The size of the discharge orifice in the nozzle will have been determined by the physician. Assuming, however, that the temperature of the liquid in the container has been heated to the maximum of about 145-156 F. before treatment is started, the temperature of the gauze or compress will be determined by the rate at which the liquid is discharged from the nozzle 18. At 60 drops per minute the temperature will be tepid; that is at about 99 F. At drops per minute the temperature will be approximately 102 F., and at to drops per minute the temperature may be maintained between 108 F. and 115 F. Usually these higher temperatures are not employed for more than 2 /2 hours at a time, but during the time that the device is used, the temperature as indicated by a thermometer buried in the guazette or pad will undergo very little variation. This is effected very little whether the room temperature is 65 F. or 85 F. because of the insulating effect of the external plastic tubing provided by the tubing 19 forming a sheath and the dead air space between the tube 17 and the surrounding atmosphere. In initially starting the device the receptacle 2 may be filled from the manufacturers receptacle, but if treatment is to be continued a long period of time the second receptacle, which may be the suppliers receptacle, and which is designated 11 in FIG. 1, is hung alongside the receptable 2 and at either the same or a higher elevation. A tube 10 leads from the discharge of the 1'eceptacle 11 to the outer end of the tube 8. The tube 8 preferably has a restricted inner terminal 8a. As liquid runs by gravity through the tube 17 to the patient, it tends to lower the level of liquid in the vessel 2 whereupon liquid flows from the vessel 11 through the tube 10 and through the tube 8 into the top of the body of liquid in the vessel 2. This arrangement is particularly desirable because the unheated liquid flowing into the receptacle 2 is warmed by passing up the tube 8 through the liquid already in the vessel and is discharged at the top of the liquid so that it is sure to be heated to the maximum temperature before it flows out the tube 17. In this way the apparatus of the present invention can be adapted to use with the solution of any supplier without requiring that the electric heating device comprising the jacket 12 with its embedded resistance wires be of a different shape for the bottle of each different manufacturer. This arrangement also provides for the constant application of liquid to the patient for a sustained period of time without attention since the contents of the bottle 11 added to the initial contents of the receptacle 2 will have to be exhausted before the flow stops. As soon as the bottle 11 is emptied it can be replaced with a fresh bottle without taking the apparatus out of operation because of the reserve supply that is in the container 2.
While the size of the nozzle 18 is of primary importance in controlling the rate of flow of the fluid, a safety factor may be added by regulating the admission of fluid, either air or liquid, to the receptacle 2 or the vessel 11, or both. For example, the constriction of the tube 8 at 8a will restrict the rate at which either air or liquid may enter the vessel or receptacle 2. The tube 8 has its outer end threaded as indicated at 8b and an ordinary screw closure cap, like that used on a tire valve or collapsible tube, may
be applied to this threaded terminal when the container 11 and tube are not used, and by appyling it loosely or tightly, the admission of air may be further restricted or cut ofi entirely. The closure on the vessel 11 may be a duplicate of that on the vessel 2, as illustrated, and air admission may be restricted and controlled in the same way. i
In FIG. 4 I have shown a modification in which 20 designates the top of the inverted container or receptacle similar to the receptacle 2 but wherein it is formed with a bushing 21 that is threaded, and into which is screwed a sleeve 22 having a tapered inner end 23 terminating in an orifice 24. There is a plug 25 screwed into this sleeve with a tapered or inverted conical inner end 26 that fits into the sleeve 22 at the top, but the taper of which diverges downwardly very slightly from the tapered interior of the sleeve. This plug has a flange 27 to facilitate turning it, and it has a central nipple 28 extending upwardly from the top. There is a diagonal passage 29 in the plug. extending from the inner end of the nipple to the face of the inverted conical portion 26 terminating in the outer face of the portion 26 near the top thereof at a place where, when the plug is screwed down tight in the sleeve, the end of this passage will be closed by the inner sloping face of the tapered sleeve portion, but as the plug is turned in a direction to screw it upwardly, the end of this passage will move into a level where the portion 23 is of larger diameter and air or liquid may then flow from the nipple through the passage 29 and out the orifice 24. A practically micrometer adjustment of the flow through the orifice is thus obtained.
On the lower end of the plug there is a stem 30 that passes through the orifice 23 and has an expanded terminal 31 thereon which is spaced from the lower end of the sleeve and the orifice 24 when the passage 29 is closed. As the plug is screwed up, and after it has moved a predetermined distance, the terminal 31 will close the orifice 24, making it impossible to open the valve provided by the plug and sleeve too far. Thus the device is safe against injury to the patient should some one tamper with the valve. It may be used with a second container, as in FIG. 1, by attaching a tube, corresponding to 10, to the second bottle and to the nipple 28. The nipple 28 may be externally threaded to receive a closure cap. When a bottle is equipped with this type of valve, it is not necessary to use the tube 8 in the closure.
FIG. 5 discloses a different form of inlet for either air or liquid. In this figure, 40 designates the inverted bottom of a container or receptacle such as 2. Sealed into it is an insert 41 through which extends a tube 42 with a threaded outer end and a restricted orifice in its constricted inner terminal 43. It may have a screw cap, as above referred to, such as the cap 44, that is screwed onto or off this nipple to admit or exclude air while the restricted inner end of the tube limits the flow. If more restriction is required than that provided by the restricted inner terminal, the cap 44 may be loosely applied to the 1 outer end of the tube 42, and thereby further-impede the flow of air into the vessel. When it is desired to use a second bottle, the arrangement shown in FIG. 1 may be used, as with FIG. 4, by attaching a tube from the second bottle to the threaded nipple provided by the upper end of tube 42.
In FIG. 6 there is shown a modification of the cap 6, wherein the long tube has an outwardly-closing ball check valve at its lower end. In this figure, 45 is a cap, like 6, and 46 is a tube corresponding to 8, but instead of the lower end of the tube being threaded, a ball check valve 47 is fixed to its lower end with a downwardly-closing ball 48 therein. The hose-receiving nipple or air intake terminal is designated 49.
With my invention the rubber jacket with embedded heating wires and sealed thermostat can be kept clean and sterile. It is electrically safe, and constant moist heat can be applied to any area where its application is by gravity through the tube.
required with little possibility of a visitor dangerously a further flow control to the fabric or gauzette may be secured.
Except as otherwise described, the modifications shown in FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 are used in the same way as the apparatus of FIGS. 1 to 3.
In FIG. 7 I have shown a modification of the apparatus wherein the liquid is heated as it flows from the receptacle The apparatus may be generally the same as shown in FIG. 1, except that instead of a heating jacket enveloping the bottle there is a heating unit extending along a length of the tube from the bottle to the pad. In this figure, 50 designates a tube corresponding to tube 17 in FIG. 1, the upper end of which would be applied to the discharge nipple on the bottle closure, and the lower end of which would have a metering nozzle similar to 18, these not being shown in this figure. There is a rubber or similar flexible sheath 51 made in the form of a fiat sheet with cooperating snap fastener parts along the edges thereof, as indicated at 52, so that it may be easily applied to and removed from the tube, and when it is closed about the tube, it snugly fits against it. It has heating wires embedded therein and a thermostat is sealed within the protuberance 53. There is an appliance cord similar to 15 connected to it to the heating wires through the thermostat in the usual manner.
My invention provides apparatus for keeping a pad wet and at a substantially uniform temperature by discharging heated liquid, either water or solution, to the pad by gravity at a substantially constant and predetermined rate with the liquid heated to a predetermined temperature higher than that to be maintained in the pad so as to compensate for cooling that occurs in the pad from evaporation, from radiation and conduction, and from the constant dilution of the incoming liquid with the body of liquid absorbed in the pad, and otherwise. By reason of keeping the pad moist and at a selected controlled temperature, it may be used for the treatment of the body wherever constant moist heat is required with likelihood of burning the patient being practically nil, and with a minimum amount of attention.
Various forms and modifications have been illustrated and described, but .it will be understood that various changes and modifications may be made in the apparatus by those skilled in the art within the contemplation of my invention and under the scope of the following claims.

(ABC 6 News) -- Minnesota is 13th on the list of states with the highest numbers of human trafficking. The issue affects some of the youngest in our communities and is the subject in a series of books written by author Kathi Mecias.
"Mara fought to breathe against the thick darkness that pressed her down. The closet was so small, so dark, and cramped," read Mecias.
Mara is a fictional character in a fictional book. But the story being told, is one of a victim of child sex trafficking, and is a reality for far too many.
"When you here that there are two million enslaved and 100 to 300,000 of those are children in sexual slavery, that really knocked me off my feet, that's what really put it in perspective," said Mecias.
The three book series discusses human trafficking. She wrote the books after learning how big of a problem it is in the United States. Friday night, she will discuss the books, hoping to create awareness about the issue.
"I really believe it's starting to spread and people are realizing how bad of a problem it really is," she said.
According to the website, Minnesota Girls Not For Sale, a November 2010 study found on any given weekend night in Minnesota, 46 girls under the age of 18 are sold for sex through internet sites and escort services.
"When it says 19 that's a red flag for me," said Stephanie Holt. Holt is the founder of Mission 21, an organization that's working to create the first safe house for victims of trafficking. Trafficking is an issue affecting Rochester youth.
"I will say that some of the girls, are girls in Rochester schools."
The hope is the reality of sex trafficking will one day be made a fictional one.
Mecias will be speaking at 7 p.m. Friday at the Autumn Ridge Church.

Project Title: Development of the Conceptual Design for a Comprehensive WQ Model of the St. Louis Bay Estuary and Watershed, Project MX974070
Purpose of this project: To develop a conceptual design and framework for extending the capabilities of the fecal coliform water quality model to an ability to estimate a more comprehensive set of water quality parameters including dissolved oxygen and nutrients. The nutrient model of the St. Louis Bay estuary loosely couples watershed, hydrodynamic and water quality models. The Better Assessment Science Integrating Point and Nonpoint Sources (BASINS 3.0) and the windows implementation of the Hydrologic Simulatio Program-Fortran (WinHSPF) computer programs were applied to develop a watershed scale model of the hydrologic and nutrient processes within the study area. The developed watershed model simulated nonpoint source flow and nutrient loadings for all sub-watersheds, routed flow and water quality, and major point source discharges in the St. Louis Bay watershed. Initial calibration is illustrated and representative simulations are presented.
The performance of the developed watershed model was varied. The simulated dissolved oxygen concentration closely matched instream measurements from the Wolf River except during periods of extremely low flow. Modeled BOD also closely matched instream data collected during several rain events. However, the simulated nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations did not reflect measured instream nitrogen concentrations, with simulated values on to two orders of magnitude higher than observed levels.
The products from the project included:
- A calibrated and verified model of the Bay of St. Louis;
- An assessment of model sensitivity and project report summarizing tasks and accomplishments (1document);
- User guide
