This invention relates to novel compositions of matter for ink pigment grinding aids and the process for preparing them. In particular, this invention relates to novel compositions of matter which allow high solids pigment dispersions to be obtained for water-based ink formulations while maintaining excellent physical properties in the finished inks.
Impelled by environmental concerns and increasing governmental regulations on the volatile organic content of inks and coatings, the applications of water-based flexographic and rotogravure inks are increasing in the ink industry. A typical water-based ink system is formulated by the addition of a binder resin (usually acrylic polymer latices) to a grind base. Grind bases are prepared by grinding pigments with alkali soluble grind resins (such as low molecular weight rosin-based resins or acrylic resins) until submicron particle size dispersions are obtained.
The use of wetting agents (i.e. grinding aids) help maximize mill-throughput by reducing grind times while also improving the gloss, stability, and color strength of pigment dispersions. High color strength allows dilution of finished inks to lower pigment levels. As pigment expense usually constitutes about two-thirds of the total cost of an ink, color strength remains a primary consideration for ink formulators.
An ink formulator must also consider the compatibility of the various ink components when selecting the grind resins or grinding aids to be used. Grind bases (i.e. pigment dispersions) are let-down with a variety of alkali-soluble resins or alkali-insoluble resin emulsions to achieve the properties desired for the end use of the ink. As wetting agents tend to be selective with pigments and ink types, often the grind resins and the letdown resins are not compatible. This incompatibility can result in pigment flocculation and flotation, viscosity increase, loss of adhesion and color strength, and other problems.
To minimize these problems "resinless" high solids pigment dispersions prepared with 5-10% dispersant are used in many cases. Pigments are ground with a low dosage of surfactant blends often referred to as "universal pigment dispersants." However, pigments such as titanium oxide, carbon black, and certain organic pigments have hydrophilic/lipophilic balance (HLB) values between 8 and 16; hence no one compound can give optimum performance. Therefore, blends are generally formulated to cover the whole HLB range in question.
Grinding aids which form high solids pigment dispersions help reduce shipping costs. The high solid pigment grinds are transported to the various ink formulators where the grinds are let-down into inks. At the press-site the inks are diluted to the needed press-ready viscosities and color strengths.
Therefore, it is the object of this invention to have a versatile pigment grinding aid for water-based ink formulations which allow high solids pigment dispersions to be obtained while maintaining excellent physical properties in the finished inks.
The object of this invention is met by reacting an unsaturated fatty acid and/or resin acid with either acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, fumaric acid, or maleic anhydride to produce a polycarboxylic acid anhydride. The polycarboxylic acid anhydride is reacted with an excess of polyamine to produce an amidoamide or imidoamide intermediate. This intermediate is reacted with either acrylic acid or methacrylic acid to produce the grinding aid.
The ratio of unsaturated fatty acid and/or resin acid to acrylic acid, metacrylic acid, fumaric acid, or maleic anhdride required to produce the desired polycarbolylic acid anhydride ranges from 100:5 to 100:30. The ratio of polycarboxylic acid anhydride to polyamine required to produce the desired amidoamide or imidoamide intermediate ranges from 1:1 to 2.5:1. The ratio of amidoamide or imidoamide intermediate to acrylic acid or methacrylic acid required to produce the invention grinding aid ranges from 100:10 to 100:30.
It has been found that modified reaction products of polyamines with certain dicarboxylic and tricarboxylic acid anhydrides are extremely efficient grinding aids. Pigments have been ground at 30-50% loading at a pigment to grinding aid ratio of 5:1 to 10:1. Water or a mixture of water, isopropanol, and a suitable amine (such as monoethanolamine) for pH adjustment was used to produce grind bases which exhibited excellent color strength and good compatibility with acrylic emulsions and lignin dispersions.
Additionally, the unique chemistry of the grinding aids allows one to cover a wide range of HLB-values by varying the ratios of reactants or the pH of the reaction during production. This versatility will serve ink formulators in their task of assuring compatibility between ink components.
The polycarboxylic acids and anhydrides used in the preparation of the invention grinding aids are represented by the following formulae: ##STR1##
C22 -tricarboxylic acid anhydrides I and II are isomers and are obtained by the reaction of oleic acid or elaidic acid with maleic anhydride at temperature of 180� C. and above. Anhydride II is the mono adduct of maleic anhydride and linoleic acid. Because of the two double bonds a second mole of maleic anhydride can be added resulting in a pentacarboxylic acid dianhydride. Formulae I, II, and III are the major reaction products derived from tall oil fatty acid and maleic anhydride as described by Riedeman and Lupichuk in U.S. Pat. No. 3,451,958. Anhydride IV is obtained when linoleic acid is catalytically isomerized to conjugated linoleic acid prior to the reaction with maleic anhydride. Via a Diels-Alder cycloaddition, a cyclohexene tricarboxylic acid anhydride is obtained. The preparation of this type of cycloaliphatic acid anhydride from conjugated linoleic acid and maleic anhydride is disclosed by Crawford in British Pat. No. 1,032,363 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,412,056. Since tall oil fatty acid consists of approximately 50% oleic acid and 50% linoleic acid, the maleic anhydride addition in the presence of iodine will give a mixture of cyclic (IV) and open (I, II) C22 -tricarboxylic acid anhydrides. Formula V is the fumaric Diels-Alder adduct obtained from conjugated linoleic acid.
When the polycarboxylic acid anhydrides are heated with a polyamine, a variety of reaction products (i.e. amidoamides and imidoamides) can be obtained. An extensive review of the chemistry of this reaction is contained in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,494,992 to Schilling et.al., which is hereby incorporated by reference.
The products of the above reactions are reacted with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid to produce the invention grinding aid. This carboxyalkylation reaction is taught in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. No. 4,478,642 to Schilling et. al., which is hereby incorporated by reference. Further reviews of the chemistry of these reactions are contained in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,547,224 to Schilling and 4,561,901 to Schilling, which are hereby incorporated by reference.

The grind bases and inks produced from the invention grinding aid are suitable for use within the pH range of 3 to 10.
As appreciated in the art, the exact components and properties of components desired for any given ink application can vary, and, therefore, routine experimentation may be required to determine the optional components and proportions of components for a given application and desired properties.
The following examples are provided to further illustrate the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the invention in any manner.
A preferred grinding aid (wetting agent) for pigments used in water-based printing inks is produced by the following procedure. All reactants are measured in parts by weight.
Twenty (20) parts maleic anhydride are reacted with 100 parts tall oil fatty acid/rosin blend (80:20) at 205�-210-� C. for five hours. One hundred (100) parts of the resulting adduct is heated to 150� C. Over a period of 30 minutes 65 parts of Amine HH is slowly added to the adduct, and heated to 240� C. (until all the water of condensation is removed). After cooling to 90� C., the resulting amine condensate is diluted with water to 50% activity. Two hundred (200) parts of this solution are reacted with 15.7 parts acrylic acid at 90� C. for three hours and diluted with 15.7 parts water to the final activity of 50% NV (non-volatile). For final pH adjustment, the desired amount of NH2 or an amine is used. Finally, 1.16 parts of defoamer DF-75 (manufactured by Air Products) or Foamburst 51 (manufactured by Ross Chemicals) is added to the finished product. This product is hereafter referred to as GA-1.
Chemically, GA-1 resembles an amphoteric amino acid. Thus, depending on the pH value of the varnish, it can be used either as a cationic or an anionic wetting agent. At the isoelectric point (where numbers of positive charges equal the number of negative charges), the product is somewhat less effective as a dispersant.
At the present time, the use of GA-1 at high pH values is important since water-based printing inks are currently produced at a pH range of 8 to 10. However, due to increasing environmental controls on the amines used in water-based printing inks, slightly acidic pH values might be an option in the future.
Accordingly, a series of grind bases of 40% phthalocyanine blue concentrates using 6.5% GA-1 were prepared from varnishes (i.e., alkaline solutions of the resins) having different pH values. As can be seen from Table I below, fluid grinds were obtained when the pH value of the varnish was above 7.5 and below 6.5. In the neutral (isoelectric) range, the grinds were pasty and did not flow.

As the results in Table I show, the best color strengths were obtained from concentrates prepared at close to neutral pH values.
Full strength inks were prepared by letting-down the above grind bases with JONCRYL� J-134 (JONCRYL J-134 is an acrylic emulsion manufactured by S. C. Johnson & Sons, Inc.) in the following amounts: 22.5 parts (by weight) of grind base, 20
parts JONCRYL J-134 (pH 8.3), 6 parts water, and 1.5 parts JONWAX� 26 (JONWAX 26 is a polyethylene wax emulsion manufactured by S. C. Johnson & Sons, Inc.). The let-down inks were tested and the properties recorded below.

The pH values of the inks ranged between 7.50 and 9.10. Viscosities, gloss, and color strength depended on the pH value of the grind concentrate. It appears that the gloss of the grind base (which recorded a minimum at pH 7.20) determines the gloss of the ink, since in the buffered region at the same pH value, different gloss values were obtained. On the other hand, the color strength of the inks were better at the lower and higher pH values. Due to the higher viscosities present at higher pH values, there is more ink on the surface of the paper giving the impression of a higher color value. Thus, "true" darker inks were obtained at the lower pH values (7.5 to 8.25).
The viscosities of the inks were influenced by the pH value to a much greater extent. At high pH values, the ink efflux times were 1.6 times (Z-2) and 2.9 times (S-3) greater than that of the low pH inks. This is important since inks with press-ready viscosities can be prepared with less acrylic resin when the pH is kept around 9.0.
A comparison of the pigment dispersing ability of GA-1 was conducted with an industry standard, JONCRYL 678 (JONCRYL 678 is an acrylic resin grinding aid manufactured by S. C. Johnson & Sons, Inc.). The GA-1 was manufactured via the method taught in Example 1 on pages 8 and 9. All subsequent formulations are given in parts per 100 by weight.
Two series of different color grind bases were produced (one using GA-1 as the grinding aid, the other JONCRYL 678) utilizing the following formulations:
______________________________________70.0 Presscake at 50% NV (non-volatile)10.1 JONCRYL 678 1.0 Foamburst 51 2.0 Ammonium Hydroxide16.9 Water100.0 and70.0 Presscake at 50% NV20.3 GA-1 1.0 Foamburst 51 1.0 Ammonium Hydroxide 7.7 Water100.0______________________________________
Foamburst 51 is a defoamer manufactured by Ross Chemicals. The following high solids presscakes manufactured by Sun Chemicals were used in the above formulations:

In addition to the above colors, Vulkan K (a carbon black manufactured by Cabot Chemicals) was used for black in the following formulations:

Differences in the color development obtained after grinding are difficult to measure directly from the grind base, therefore the bleach out technique is employed to test the strength of pigment dispersions. In the bleach out technique, the grind base is added to a white grind (bleach) which dilutes the intense absorption of the colored grind base. A print of the bleached grind base is made along side that of one prepared using a standard resin. In this study, the technique was performed using the following formulation as the bleach base:
______________________________________62.5 RHD6X TiO27.0 JONCRYL 676.0 Isopropanol3.0 Ammonium Hydroxide21.5 Water100.0______________________________________
RHD6X TiO2 is titanium dioxide manufactured by Tioxide, Incorporated. JONCRYL 67 is an acrylic resin manufactured by S. C. Johnson & Sons, Inc.
The pigment base was diluted by mixing (not grinding) with a much larger quantity of the opaque white bleach base, so as to eliminate any minor differences of gloss and hue. In each of these comparisons, 4g of a pigment grind base (formulated as shown above) were mixed with 4g of water and 32g of the above bleach base. The results are listed in Table III below.

These results show that GA-1 compares favorably with JONCRYL 678 as a pigment dispersing resin.
Inks were prepared from each of the eight bases via the formulation shown below; and the gloss, color, density, viscosity, and pH of the resulting inks were measured. Prints were made with full strength inks using a #7 meyer bar.

These results show the resins exhibiting almost equal color strengths with GA-1 having a consistent gloss advantage over JONCRYL 678.
In summary, GA-1 is an excellent pigment dispersant. Its performance was equal to or better than JONCRYL 678 in the dispersion of phthalo blue, AAOT yellow, lithol rubine, and black. Bleach tests on bases prepared from these two products show GA-1 to have equal color strength in all cases.
The bases were then letdown into inks with JONCRYL J-134 as the sole letdown vehicle. GA-1 was shown to have equal color strength with, and a consistent gloss advantage over, JONCRYL 678.
A series of wetting agents were produced wherein the rosin content of the grind bases were varied. Since the intermediate amidoamine of fortified rosin cannot be diluted with water (due to its high melting point) a different method than the one taught above had to be taken to prepare the wetting agents. To 153.7g fortified rosin, prepared by reacting 100 parts water with 20 parts maleic anhydride at 200� C., 153.7g dipropylene glycol is added and heated to 100� C. At this time 100 g of Amine HH is added and heated to 240� C. until all the water of reaction is removed. It is cooled to 90� C. and diluted with water to 50% solids (based on the amido amine). At 70� C. 22 g acrylic acid and 22 ml water is added and kept at 85� C. for eight hours. These grind bases were tested and their properties recorded below.

Table V shows the properties of the grind bases derived from various rosin blends and from 100% rosin as a starting material. At 4.5% concentration of the wetting agent, the products from blends containing 20-50% rosin gave storage stable grind bases, whereas products prepared from blends with higher rosin contents tended to gel. Increasing the content of wetting agent to 6% gave stable grind bases with lower viscosities when grinding aids prepared with up to 75% rosin content in the starting material were used. The rosin-based wetting agent gave a high viscosity grind base.
Grinds prepared with wetting agents containing a high amount of the rosin component gave darker grinds.
A preferred grinding aid for pigments used in water-based printing inks is produced by the following procedure. All reactants are measured in parts by weight.
One hundred (100) parts of L-5 (L-5 is a tall oil derived fatty acid containing about 5% rosin, manufactured by Westvaco) are reacted with 16.8 parts fumaric acid at 200�-220� C. for 2 to 3 hours. On hundred (100) parts of the resulting adduct is heated to 50� C. Over a period of 30 minutes, 50 parts of Amine HH is slowly added to the adduct, causing the temperature to rise to about 120� C. It is heated to 220�-230� C. until all the water of condensation has been collected. After cooling to 80� C., the resulting amine condensate is diluted with water to 50% activity. Two hundred (200) parts of this solution are reacted with 15 parts acrylic acid at 70� C. for 3 hours and diluted with 15 parts water to the final activity of 50% NV. For final pH adjustment, the desired amount of NH3 or an amine is used. Finally, 1.16 parts of Foamblast 51 is added to the finished product. This finished product is hereafter referred to as GA-2.
This wetting aid (GA-2) has all the good properties found in GA-1, but is lower in color. As GA-2 is produced at a pH of 7.0 to 7.5, the ink formulator will have the flexibility of adjusting the pH with an amine of his choice.
Many modifications and variations of the present invention will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art in light of the above teachings. It is therefore understood that the scope of the invention is not to be limited by the foregoing description, but rather is to be defined by the claims appended hereto.

[See NewsBusters.] According to the journalists at Good Morning America, it's apparently okay to fat shame some people, so long as they are Republicans.
The Tuesday evening following the first 2016 presidential debate, CBS Evening News was eager to share the opinions of people at debate watch parties from all across the country, including Los Angles, Philadelphia, and Dallas. Of the three watch parties they covered, CBS chose to lead with Los Angles where the makeup of the room was highly biased.
The same liberal networks who sprinted to dismiss concerns about Hillary Clinton's health as part of a "wacky strategy" by Donald Trump, turned a blind eye Tuesday to similar accusations made about the GOP nominee.

Because he wanted to help Latinos that were already here.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Quick-hit thoughts after the third quarter of the Patriots' game against the Jets (New England leads 24-14):
1. Strong response by the Patriots after the second quarter ended on a down note. First play from scrimmage -- 73 yards to Wes Welker down the seam. Cornerback Darrelle Revis initially was lined up on Welker and it looked like there was some type of breakdown by the Jets secondary.
2. With the 73-yard reception, Welker has more receiving yardage through the first five games of a season than any player in NFL history.
3. One of the biggest plays of the game was Deion Branch's 4-yard reception on the third offensive play of the third quarter. Branch was ruled to have fumbled, but Bill Belichick challenged and the call was reversed. The Patriots scored on the next play, with Tom Brady showing great patience in the pocket and finding Branch for a 2-yard touchdown.
4. The Jets responded to the Branch touchdown with an 88-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight. On the Patriots' coverage, linebacker Tracy White had a missed tackle and it looked like Jeff Tarpinian got blocked out of play in the lane that McKnight exploded through.
5. The Jets are a mentally tough team. That's a credit to head coach Rex Ryan.
6. Brady's 2-yard touchdown pass to Branch was the 275th regular-season touchdown pass of his career, which ties him with Vinny Testaverde for eighth place on the NFL's all-time list. It also marks the 21st consecutive regular-season game with a touchdown pass for Brady, which extends his franchise record.
7. From an overall strategy standpoint, the Patriots' offense is being dared to run the football at times, with the Jets loading the field with defensive backs. The running game has had uneven results in answering that challenge. One of the downers came on the Patriots' second drive of the third quarter when they couldn't run despite having numbers on their side.
8. Overall, it hasn't been a crisp effort from the Patriots' offense, whether it's been misfires by Brady, drops from receivers, protection (e.g. Thomas Welch giving up a sack) or slow route adjustments. Credit goes to Jets defensive backs for some solid pass-breakups.
9. The Patriots picked up the pace a bit at the end of the quarter and that seemed to give them a spark. Tight end Rob Gronkowski, who had been quiet as a pass-catcher up to that point, was a big factor with two catches while drawing a pass interference penalty.
10. Running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis has been one of the best players on the field for the Patriots. Green-Ellis has 18 rushing touchdowns since the start of the 2010 season, the most of any player in the NFL over that span.
11. Linebacker Dane Fletcher, who was expected to see more time in sub packages with Jerod Mayo out, hasn't played on defense. Brandon Spikes is staying on the field on third down.
12. Sergio Brown, after a tough performance in Oakland, also hasn't played on defense. It's been Patrick Chung and James Ihedigbo going wire to wire at safety.
13. Good challenge by Belichick on Plaxico Burress' third-down catch, which was overturned. Belichick has won two challenges today. Because of that, he gets a third.
14. Big spark by Welker on punt returns as well. You almost forget how good he is in that area.

Sanitation and food safety have become a top-of-mind issue, and cake bakers want to know their batters make it to the oven without contamination. One way to gain peace of mind is enclosing the entire process so the batter is not exposed to the plant's atmosphere until it is in the pan.
E.T. Oakes Corp., Hauppauge, NY, uses closed piping to transfer batter throughout production. The hopper is also closed so that nothing can drop into the batter as it enters the depositor.
Simple equipment designs can make cleaning easier. To meet that need, Hinds-Bock Corp., Bothell, WA, and Unifiller Systems, Inc., Delta, BC, have manufactured their pistons to be easily taken apart and cleaned. Hinds-Bock designed its hopper to tilt back for easy access in cleaning.
"All the pistons are quickly removed as one unit so you don't have to handle individual parts," said Lance Aasness, vice-president, sales and marketing, Hinds-Bock. "The spouts come apart for cleaning without any tools, so even though the machine is quite large, it can be disassembled in just a few minutes without any tools for sanitizing."

Dommy and I are heading for Vegas this weekend. Unfortunately Amtrak doesn't run trains between the two cities, so we must drive. We'll need dinner to eat on the way if we want to make it to Vegas before 3AM. I don't get out of work until 8 pm on Friday so quickness, closeness to our route [I-10, CA-60 and I-15] and car eatability are a must. Things we have done in the past are Subs from Victor Jr's [Excellent but messy] Bao from a place in MP [excellent road food but it took 45 minutes to get the Bao]. Burritos from Beto's on Jefferson. [good but I'm having company sponsored Mexican for lunch]. In-n-Out [been there, done that]
I was thinking of Cook's Tortas in MP which has been on our list for a while and might give that a try.
Any other Suggestions?

|Catalog Page:
|Barrel Length:
|26 In
|Condition Rating:
|This is a fine example of a highly desirable U.S. Springfield Model 1875 Officer's Rifle manufactured between 1875 and 1877. This particular rifle shares characteristics of both Type I and Type II Officer's Models, they are as follows: lockplate dated 1873 (Type I), round base variant tang sight which is found on very few Type II's (see page 41 of "The 45-70 Springfield" by Frasca and Hill) and the "U.S./ Model/ 1873" stacked markings on the breechblock which are most definitely Type II as referenced by the aforementioned book. The rifle has a sporting style half-stock with checkered panels on the wrist and forearm, metal nose cap and a single barrel band. A folding combination globe front sight and a Model 1877 rear sight are mounted on the barrel and a Springfield Second Style round base, folding, tang sight is mounted on the stock wrist. The rifle has a high arch breechblock marked: "U.S/.MODEL/1873" and a single set trigger. A hickory wiper with nickel-plated brass tip and slotted ferrule is attached to the barrel by a single ramrod pipe and a stud at the muzzle. The lockplate is roll-stamped with the Springfield Eagle and Shield motif followed by "U.S./SPRINGFIELD/1873" in three lines. "U.S." is stamped on the heel of the buttplate. The left side of the barrel is stamped with "V/P/ Eagle Head/P" proof and inspection marks. A circled script, "P" proofmark is stamped on the underside of the stock behind the wrist checkering. The rifle is correctly not serial numbered and is not stamped with the Ordnance final inspection mark on the stock wrist. The barrel is blue and the nose cap, barrel band, receiver, breech block, lockplate, hammer, tang and buttplate have a color casehardened finish. The nose cap, barrel band, top of the receiver and breechblock, hammer, lockplate, cam latch, bottom of the trigger guard and heel of the buttplate are all decorated with well executed open scroll engraving. The stock has polished oil finish. The stock lacks a provision for the detachable checkered half pistol grip found on Type III Officer's Rifles. The Model 1875 Officer's Rifle was designed to provide Army officers with a high quality sporting rifle that utilized the regulation .45-70 cartridge. Springfield Armory manufactured and estimated 125 Type I Trapdoor Officer's Rifles.
|Fine. The rifle is all original and retains 80% slightly faded original blue on the barrel. The finish on the casehardened components have faded to a silver gray patina. Stronger case colors are present on the tang and protected areas of the lockplate, breechblock and receiver. The contact points on the top of the hammer, breech block and the bottom of the trigger guard and buttplate are a mottled silver-gray. All of the markings are sharp and the engraving is very crisp. The stock is very good overall. The forearm checkering shows moderate handling wear; the checkering on the wrist is sharper. There are a few minor handling marks on the stock and forearm. This a fine all original example of the scarce and very desirable Springfield Model 1875 Type I Officer's Rifle.

Sun rays make your brain produce more serotonine - the hormone of happiness.. Not sure how's the weather right now where you live...
Chocolate also has ingredients with the same effect, you can take pure cocoa only, if you want to avoid sugar... It contains iron, too, so it's good for you anyways...
errr what else... There is Iron suplement with certain serine, European brand, Aktiferrin - F, that serine also has something to do with good mood...
But if nothing works, I'd suggest you to take the meds because PP can be dangerous for both you & the baby...

The central nervous system's guide to effective EHRs
- 04/10/2014
When developing the Sunrise electronic health record (EHR) platform, we had a different vision than our competitors. We modeled Sunrise after one of the most intelligent networks: the central nervous system (CNS). Evaluation is at the core of Sunrise The CNS governs most processes in living organisms. It senses information, detects changes, evaluates input and takes action. Constantly monitoring, integrating and evaluating countless transactions, the CNS is the intelligent core of our being. From the earliest days of development, we envisioned Sunrise as the CNS of the healthcare organization. Our competitors started with a different approach. They designed a data repository to replace paper. Only as an afterthought did they begin to develop rules to do more than just move data electronically from place to place. In contrast, we designed (and continue to develop) Sunrise around the core concept of […]

Breakfast Challenge: Day 3
By Brierley Wright, M.S., R.D., July 20, 2011 - 10:06am
Do you exercise in the morning?
If you do, consider pushing your morning meal to after your workout—as it may help your weight loss efforts, according to new research in The Journal of Physiology. During the six-week study, participants who ate a high-cal, high-fat breakfast before hitting the gym packed on an average of three pounds. The after-workout eaters? They gained almost no weight—although they ate the same breakfast. Find out why here.
Can't push through with a growling belly? "Try splitting your breakfast," suggests Leslie Bonci, R.D., director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh. "Have a 4-ounce yogurt before your workout and have whole-grain toast with peanut butter and a banana afterward."
Try one of these healthy breakfasts after you workout.

She worked very quickly and had answers to all questions we had, or at least knew where to go to find them. I was very anxious about this whole process considering this was my first home but Rebecca made me feel comfortable and excited about my new purchase.

Special Meeting
Tuesday, October 4
7:00-8:00 p.m.
Multnomah Arts Center, 7688 SW Capitol Hwy., Room 7
This meeting is regarding a proposed development at 10701 SW 25th. The developer will discuss the proposal in detail and take comments and questions. Please plan to come to this important meeting.
The owners of this 5 acre parcel just south of Maricara Park are proposing to subdivide the property to make 18 lots for single family homes. A new public street will stem from the cul de sac on SW 25th and connect to the stub of SW 26th in Arnold Woods subdivision.
The zoning is R10 (residential 10,000 square feet) with an Ec (Environmental Conservation) overlay on the drainage area on the west. City code allows some development in Ec Zones.
The preliminary site plan under discussion at this meeting is proposing to place all of the property which is under the Ec Zone into a separate tract and to develop the rest of the property as a Planned Development. This means that some lots are smaller than would be allowed in a regular R10 subdivision and internal setbacks are reduced, but the Ec Zone would be undisturbed.
This property is close to the northern border of ACNA and it is very close to neighboring Marshall Park and Markham neighborhoods.

Environmental Services Projects in and around Arnold Creek
Boones Ferry Road Culvert Project
Environmental Services and its partners are working on a project to replace a culvert on Tryon Creek under Boones Ferry Road. The existing culvert blocks all upstream fish passage and is too small to allow adequate flow during wet weather.
SW Stephenson Roadside Swales
Environmental Services completed work in March 2016 on a stormwater management project on SW Stephenson Street between SW 35th Avenue and Boones Ferry Road. This project helps protect water quality in Tryon Creek.
SW Terwilliger Boulevard Sewer Project
Environmental Services will begin construction this fall on 7,000 feet of eight-inch gravity sewer in Terwilliger Boulevard from SW Northgate Avenue to Highway 43.

Site Address: 3222 SW Palatine Street
Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct a 2,057 square-foot house, plus a driveway and patio area on this 22,380 square foot lot. To avoid excessive grading and tree removal in the site's environmental resource area, the applicant proposes to locate about half of the house and a third of the patio in the transition area of the environmental zone, which results in a proposed permanent disturbance to the resource area of approximately 1,425 square feet. Although four big leaf able trees will be removed, only two with diameters of 18 and 24 inches will be removed from the resource area. The site has steep slopes ranging between about 17 to almost 45 percent. The house will be located in the 17-23 percent slope area. The area along the western property line contains the steepest slopes and will be avoided. Written comment must be received by 5 pm on September 1, 2016. See additional information online.
Site Address: 11660 SW Lancaster Rd
The Bureau of Development Services as approved a proposal in your neighborhood. The reasons for the decision are included in the version located on the BDS website line above (http://www.portlandonline.com/bds/index/cfm?c+46429).
Site Address: 11660 SW Lancaster Rd
Proposal: The Bureau of Development Services is initiating a Zoning Map Error Correction, at the property owner's request, to modify the environmental conservation overlay zone on this site. The site was inventoried in the Southwest Hills Resource Protection Plan as Site No. 122, Arnold Creek, which identified natural resources and functions for protection. Identified resources in this Resource Area include Arnold Creek and tributaries, steep slopes and forests. Natural resource functions include groundwater recharge, wildlife habitat, fisheries, recreation and scenic. The Inventory identifies steep slopes and riparian forest on the subject site. The protection zone was to be applied to drainages flowing to Tryon Creek. The applicants provided evidence that a creek is located on their property, which is currently designated as an environmental conservation zone.
The Arnold Creek neighborhood association may take a position on this application. They may also schedule an open meeting prior to making their recommendation to the Bureau of Development Services.
Site Address: West of and adjacent to 10667 SW Lancaster Road
Proposal: The applicant proposes to construct two single dwellings, one on each of two undeveloped adjacent lots within the environmental conservation overlay zone. Both of the forested lots are currently undeveloped. The site contains approximately 65,166 square feet with slopes of about 17 percent. The proposed combined construction disturbance area will be approximately 27,950 square feet and the permanent combined disturbance area will be approximately 11,170 square feet, including driveways. The houses are to be situated mid- slope to preserve a drainage that crosses the southeast corner of the site. A culvert will be installed at the stream crossing for the 10-foot wide common driveway. The stream is a tributary to Arnold Creek.
The Arnold Creek neighborhood association may take a position on this application. They may also schedule an open meeting prior to making their recommendation to the Bureau of Development Services.

Despite lingering global economic uncertainty, markets rebounded in the fourth quarter of 2011. The Dow Jones Total U.S. Stock Index posted an increase of nearly 11.5% during the period, and total assets under management in U.S. open-ended mutual funds increased by 6% to $8.0 trillion. Net flows during this last quarter were slightly negative but had a negligible effect on assets.
But recent market gains have translated into mixed results for asset managers. Based on the earnings results from publicly-traded firms, kasina found that industry operating margins decreased from 32.2% in Q3 to 31.2% in Q4, while net margins rose from 20.1% to 23.1%. Both operating and net margins remain virtually unchanged from figures a year ago.
The decline in operating margins can be attributed in part to a fundamental shift in investor asset allocation which continued in the fourth quarter. During this period, total flows reached over $122 billion as investors divested themselves of high-fee stocks and turned to lower-risk bonds. U.S. Stock funds saw outflows of $43.7 billion in the fourth quarter, while fixed income funds experienced inflows of $41.1 billion. Though the markets have shown recent improvements, investors remained unsettled by the lingering financial uncertainty. Correspondingly, investors are moving into lower cost index products. Actively managed funds lost $30.0 billion in outflows while passively managed index funds experienced inflows of $22.8 billion.
Asset managers also face increased expense side pressure from distributors. Large broker-dealers are ramping up fees to access their platforms. Morgan Stanley Smith Barney raised base rates to $250,000 per year, per fund family, representing a five-to-tenfold spike in prices. Driving these increased demands are the relatively thin margins that wirehouses earn in comparison to asset managers. This past quarter the spread increased yet again, as distributor margins decreased while asset manager margins remained relatively steady. From 2009 to 2011, the spread between asset manager and distributor margins grew steadily and now stands at 19%. In the coming year, asset managers will likely face increased revenue sharing pressure due to the high spread.
Distributor Margins Down Despite Bullish Fourth Quarter

It's happened at last. Liam Fox, one of the most gung-ho militarists ever to occupy the post of Defence Secretary, has returned to the backbenches. All the excuses and half-truths his supporters could come up with have not saved him. But his departure will be largely pointless if we don't learn a great deal from the Werrity scandal.
