Delegate's Report, 44th Session, Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues
April 23-28, 2012
Shanghai, China
On April 23-28, 2012, the Codex Committee on Pesticide Residues (CCPR) held its 44th Session in Shanghai, People's Republic of China. Professor Xiongwu Quio, Vice-Director of the Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, served as Chair, assisted by Dr. Weili Shan, Director of Residue Division of Institute for Control of Agrochemicals, Ministry of Agriculture (ICAMA). The Session was attended by 253 delegates representing 68 Member Countries, 1 Member Organization, and Observers from 6 international organizations. The U.S. Delegation was led by Ms. Lois Rossi of EPA, and Dr. Pat Basu of USDA served as alternate delegate.
The following summarizes issues of particular interest to the U.S. Delegation. Complete details of the 43rd Session (2011 Meeting) may be found on the Codex Alimentarius website at: http://www.codexalimentarius.net/web/archives.jsp
Matters of Interest Arising From FAO and WHO
The FAO Secretariat to Joint FAO/WHO Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR - the risk assessment body for CCPR) announced several initiatives associated with enhancing the participation of developing countries in the residue risk assessment processes, which included the revised FAO Training Manual on Evaluation of Pesticide Residues for Estimation of Maximum Residue Limits (MRLs) and three regional workshops held in Latin America and Africa on residue risk evaluation submissions and reviews.
The FAO Secretariat to JMPR also updated the Committee on the Second Global Minor Use Summit (GMUS-2) held in Rome, Italy in February 2012 , which event was supported by FAO, USDA, EPA, and the IR-4 Minor Crop Pest Management Program and attended by 230 delegates from more than 50 countries. The U.S. Delegation provided an out-of-session briefing of specific activities of the GMUS-2 and presented several action items, including the development of a "global needs" database to share information, the further development of a global minor use portal to facilitate risk communication and materials to benefit communication on minor use issues.
Application of Proportionality in Selecting Data for MRL Estimation
As agreed upon by the CCPR at the last Session, the 2011 JMPR applied the concept of proportionality to estimate MRLs and provided a comparison of results of MRL recommendations with and without the use of the proportionality approach for five compounds and five commodities for which the residue data were not sufficient for a recommendation of a MRL according to Good Agricultural Practices (GAP). The U.S. Delegation, as well as several other delegations, strongly supported the JMPR's use of the concept of proportionality. The U.S. Delegation further noted that the proportionality concept is a useful tool for JMPR to recommend additional MRLs for minor uses.
However, several other delegations noted that further guidance on criteria for this concept of proportionality was still needed and therefore did not support moving forward MRLs based on this concept until such guidance was completed.
After a lengthy discussion and consultation with FAO Secretariat to JMPR, the Committee established an electronic working group (EWG) to develop further principles and guidelines on applying the concept of proportionality and requested that the 2012 JMPR continue exploring examples and comparisons using this concept. The U.S. Delegation expressed interest in participating EWG, which will be co-chaired by Australia and Germany.
MRL (Maximum Residue Limits) Results
This CCPR Session marks the seventh year in which the accelerated procedure and criteria for decision-making were used with great success in advancing MRLs. 271 MRLs based on the consideration of 19 pesticides were advanced to Step 8 for adoption, 251 of which were advanced using the accelerated 5/8 procedure. One MRL each per fruit or berry spices and root or rhizome spices was advanced to Step 8. An additional 23 pesticide/commodity MRLs for 7 pesticides were advanced only to Step 5 for reasons such as the identification of a potential dietary intake concern by the JMPR, the need for the submission of labels for the Pesticide Initiative Programme (PIP) chemicals, a country's expressed concern on the availability of additional information not previously considered by the JMPR, or because the estimation of MRLs was derived from the concept of proportionality.
Fifty-nine pesticide/commodity CXLs for 8 pesticide chemicals were recommended for revocation. These MRLs are typically CXLs being replaced based on additional data, uses no longer supported, or CXLs deemed by JMPR to have potential dietary intake concerns with no alternative GAP. 43 pesticide/commodity MRLs associated with 10 chemicals were retained at Step 7, awaiting further review by the JMPR, either retrospective analysis (alternative GAP) or periodic review. There were also 38 pesticide/commodity MRLs associated with four chemicals, including the pilot project chemical sufloxaflor, that were held at Step 4 due to dietary intake concerns or awaiting submission of data or an acceptable GAP.
Update on the Sulfoxaflor Pilot Project and the Progress of the National Global Joint Review
During the 2010 CCPR Session, the Committee approved the U.S. proposal for a pilot project, whereby JMPR would evaluate a chemical before finalization of any national review/registration. The 2011 JMPR reviewed sufloxaflor as a pilot and established an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) and recommended MRLs considering both regional zones (the method historically used) as well as the global dataset method for estimating MRLs. The JMPR provided a comparison of those MRL results. The U.S. Delegation supports the use of the global dataset method, as MRLs can be recommended for several commodities which otherwise could not have been established.
The U.S. Delegation updated the Committee on the pilot project and explained that the national global joint review associated with the pilot was not yet complete, but regulatory decisions were expected before the next CCPR Session. The Committee agreed to evaluate the pilot project at the next Session of CCPR in April 2013 when the global joint review is complete and agreed to retain all MRLs recommended for sulfoxaflor at Step 4 until authorized GAPs were available for JMPR consideration. The Committee showed general support for the pilot project and welcomed using the same process for another chemical evaluation.
Revision of the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds
The EWG co-chaired by the Netherlands and the United States presented the amendments and revisions to the Revision of the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds. CCPR's completion of this Classification represents an important tool to facilitate the establishment MRLs and trade harmonization generally.
The Committee reviewed the proposed amendments agreed to forward all "fruit type" revisions (Citrus fruits, Pome fruits, Stone fruits, Berries and Small fruits, and Tropical and Subtropical fruits- edible and inedible peel) to Step 8 for inclusion in the Classification. The Committee also agreed to retain the revisions for edible flowers at Step 7, pending finalization of the revision of the Herbs group.
The Committee considered and forwarded the proposed amendments to the Revision of the Codex Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds for Brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, Head cabbages and Flowerhead cabbages; Leafy vegetables (including brassica leafy vegetables); and Stalk and stem vegetables to Step 5.
The Committee agreed to re-establish the EWG, co-chaired by the United States and the Netherlands to continue work on the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds.
Proposed Draft Principles and Guidelines for the Selection of Representative Commodities for the Extrapolation of Maximum Residue Limits for Commodity Groups
CCPR has devoted a significant effort in developing a document Classificationss of Foods and Animal Feed, AC/MISC 4 1-93) that provides uniform nomenclature and establishes group maximum residue limits for groups and/or sub-groups of commodities with similar characteristics and residue potential. At this Session, the Committee updated and amended the Classification of Foods and Animal Feeds for fruit types and the Draft Principles and Guidelines and Table 1 on fruit commodities and agreed to forward these documents to Step 8 for adoption by the Commission, along with the revocation of the corresponding provisions in the existing document. This completion of the Classification for fruit type crop groups as well as the guidance on the selection of representative commodities represents a significant step towards establishing additional MRLs. especially for minor fruit crops.
The United States also presented a proposed draft table 2, which included the selection of representative commodities for a number of different vegetable crop groups and subgroups, including Brassica (cole or cabbage) vegetables, Head cabbages and Flowerhead cabbages; Leafy vegetables (including brassica leafy vegetables); and Stalk and stem vegetables.
The Committee agreed to reconvene the EWG on the Revision of the Codex Classification of Food and Feed to identify other commodity groups for consideration by CCPR, to continue to amend the draft table 2, and review and revise, where needed, existing Codex commodity group MRLs.
Working Group to Facilitate the Establishment of Codex MRLs for Minor Use and Specialty Crops
A physical working group on Minor Uses and Specialty Crops met prior to the Session to review the EWG conclusions on the criteria for the minimum number of field trials needed to support minor use MRLs. Co-chairs United States, Thailand, and Kenya presented before the Committee a discussion paper which outlined the proposed criteria in four categories.
To develop these criteria, the EWG used a two-tiered approach, whereby global diet data (FAOSTAT Food Supply Quantity (g/capita/day)) and a fixed percentage (0.5%) was used as the first tier and GEMS/Foods 13 Cluster Diets data was used to further refine the criteria at the second tier. From this approach, the EWG developed four categories to determine the appropriate number of residue field trials.
After much discussion, the Committee could not reach agreement on any specific criteria and re-established the EWG to continue refining the criteria and a list of commodities and number of field trials based on a proposed criteria. France, Kenya and Thailand agreed to co-chair this EWG for the next Session. The United States will participate in this EWG and will continue to support exploring the development of a simple database to identify residue data needs for minor crops.
Revision of the Risk Analysis Principles
At the last Session, the Committee agreed to focus on alternative proposals for the revision of the periodic review and have a physical working group meeting prior to the Session of the CCPR.
The physical working group, which included participation from the United States, reviewed and revised several sections of the risk analysis principles document, which includes such matters as the processes to ensure avoiding the deletion of MRLs for which there are no risk issues- for example, due to a lack of support by the manufacturer. The Committee agreed to re-convene the EWG, to be co-chaired by Argentina and Costa Rica, to focus on remaining sections, including sections on the periodic review and criteria for prioritization and section 7 of part II on the processes surrounding the concern form and other forms. The United States will continue to participate in this EWG and will urge the importance of upholding the integrity of the concern form process to allow the establishment of Codex MRLs.
Nomination and Prioritization of Compounds to be Considered by the FAO/WHO Joint Meeting on Pesticide Residues (JMPR)
The Committee considered the nominations of compounds for evaluation in 2013 as listed in the report of the EWG on Priorities. The Chair of the EWG noted that two new compounds were moved to the 2014 priority list at the request of the U.S. Delegation. All U.S. nominations for new compounds and additional uses of existing compounds were scheduled; however, the nomination for fenpropathrin was moved to the 2014 priority list at the request of the manufacturer. In all, 8 new compound evaluations, 4 periodic re-evaluations, and 18 follow-up evaluations for additional uses of existing compounds are scheduled for review by JMPR in 2013.
The Committee noted that the new compound evaluations priority list for 2014 is currently overbooked and 2015 already has 4 new compound evaluation nominations. However, the 2014 priority lists will be evaluated during the 45th Session of CCPR.
JMPR Resource Issues in the Provision of Scientific Advice to CCPR
The United States prepared and presented an updated discussion paper on the issue of JMPR resources and the need for capacity building of the JMPR to accommodate the increased demand for the review of compounds for the establishment of Codex MRLs. The U.S. Delegation noted that the issue of JMPR capacity was discussed at the 2011 JMPR, as well as during the last Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission. As a result of discussions during the 2011 JMPR, several constructive recommendations were put forth to help resolve the JMPR's capacity issues including: extending the meeting, utilizing electronic communications and teleconference capabilities to perform work and resolve issues ahead of meeting, establishing consistent data package submission requirements, screening chemicals to determine the need to evaluate full dossier, and resolving issues with industry prior to JMPR meeting.
The U.S. Delegation noted that the U.S. EPA's Director of the Office of Pesticide Programs sent a letter to the FAO and WHO Secretariats of JMPR that highlighted the recommendations and reiterated the importance of implementing recommendations to increase capacity of JMPR. The letter further noted the importance of the role of the FAO and WHO Secretariats in providing leadership and guidance in implementing recommendations. Several additional ideas to increase capacity were discussed, including holding an additional JMPR meeting between 2013-2014 and/or to add another day to the 2013 JMPR Meeting.
Although the increase in demand for Codex MRLs has exceeded the capacity of JMPR to review MRLs, it is also indicative of the success of the process improvements that have been implemented over the past several years by the CCPR for the scheduling and review of chemicals by the JMPR and the improved decision-making processes in proposing MRLs. Because the work of the JMPR and CCPR serves an important role for the safety of the consumer and facilitates the international trade of food commodities, the United States supports the implementation of recommendations provided during the 2011 JMPR, as well as further recommendations to increase the capacity of the JMPR.
The JMPR Secretariats welcomed the ideas presented by the U.S. Delegation and the Committee; however, they noted that funding for JMPR was not available and the JMPR meeting would not be organized for 2013 unless funding was secured by January of that year. The United States stresses the need for funding of the JMPR to continue the important work to establish Codex MRLs.
Methods of Analysis for Pesticide Residues
The U.S. Delegation participated in an in-session working group to further discuss the methods of analysis for pesticide residues, including the maintenance or revocation of Analysis of Methods: Pesticides Residues (CODEX STAN 299-1993). After much discussion, the in-session working group recommended and the Committee agreed to revoke but maintain an archive CODEX STAN 229-1993, Rev. I-2003, and to establish a EWG to develop performance criteria for the assessment of methods of analysis.
Next CCPR
The 45th Session was tentatively scheduled to be held in China, in 2013. The final arrangements were not announced at the meeting.

Two weeks ago President Obama delivered his State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress. In his speech the President called for fiscal discipline and specifically addressed the need to reduce wasteful spending from the federal budget. However, earlier this week the President sent a $3.8 trillion budget proposal to Congress, which spends too much, taxes too much and borrows way too much.
The federal government has 44 separate job training and employment programs, spread across nine different agencies and departments, spending a combined $12 billion a year serving about 30 million Americans.
Similarly, the federal government has established a patchwork system of at least 22 separate programs focused on the important consumer health issue of food safety.
At least 17 stand-alone programs have been established over time to support the federal role in higher education.
The National D-Day Memorial has grown into a place of inestimable value for America and those here and abroad who want to honor Allied forces on D-Day, 6 June 1944. It is well-conceived, superbly designed, and enriched with inspired statuary and plaques. The memorial is a place to be revered. Few, if any, other memorials can compare to its quality. I feel honored and proud to be able to support the memorial and volunteer there as a tour guide. Other volunteers feel similarly, I am sure.
The Bedford Museum and Genealogical Library is pleased to provide the following in honor of Black History Month.
For the second week in a row, the weather became a main topic of discussion at Mr. Jefferson's Capitol. The arrival of a record-breaking snowstorm affecting about two-thirds of the state caused the General Assembly members to return home for the weekend a day early. The goal was to get legislators and staff member's home, and off the roads, safe and sound.
As this was written, the "tea party" activists were holding their first national convention in Nashville, Tennessee, featuring as their keynote speaker none other than the infamous Sarah Palin.
If you haven't followed the story of what's being called a new political movement in America, the tea party crowd popped up during President Obama's first year in office, taking their name, of course, after the original colonists who waged the Boston Tea Party protest against British rule.
Like just about everybody, Bedford County Public Schools is facing a tough budgeting year. The school system is facing a shortfall of between $5 and $8 million. It would obviously take a monster tax hike to plug this hole, so the school board is going to have to make substantial cuts.
Now, who can I anger with my suggestions?
This makes sense.
We're facing record deficits; we're in the middle of two wars; there's double-digit unemployment; and there's that whole health care debate. So now comes word the Obama administration and a long-standing Republican senator are considering several steps that would review the legality of the current college football Bowl Championship Series.
So that certainly seems like a logical place for the President and Congress to spend time trying to bring about change. Then again, maybe not.

T O P I C R E V I E WSpaceDustI've have made two sets of decals and experiencing the same problem with both sets. After soaking for about 30 seconds, when I start to take them out of the water they start to deteriorate. Before I can even get them out of the water I have a dish full of fragments. Is this because the decal sheet was too old to start with? The decal sheets are less than two years old and I didn't experience any problems with them when I first used them in mid 2012. Any suggestions?Thanks for any help.garymilgromIt does sound like the sheets have dried out. Were they stored in a warm place that may have done this? Maybe some more experienced model makers will chime in.GrantVIt could be due to age or where the decals were stored. Try overspraying the actual decal sheet with Future (or Johnson's Klear, or whatever they call it these days). Give it time to dry before soaking the decal and attempting to apply. I have done with this with exceptionally thin decals, and this has prevented them from fracturing when applied.Edit: Upon re-reading, I see that they are non-commercial decals but self-printed. Most of that decal film is notoriously thin. The Future/ Klear should help hold the decal film together.SpaceDustThanks for the replies guys. The sheets were printed on a laser printer and sprayed with a clear coating more than a week ago. The paper has been kept in a dark damp basement. Just how long can decal paper be stored before something like this starts happening? Do you have any more advice?GrantVThe damp part may be the problem. I have decal paper that has been stored in a dry, dark location for a couple of years, and have not had a problem with it. Is it possible to get new decal paper and try that? It may be worth it in time saved and aggravation avoided.Retro RocketYour clear coat isn't thick enough. Try at least three generous coats. I use Krylon Matte Finish, clear also works good. Just watch out for runs.sev8n quote:Maybe some more experienced model makers will chime in. Old/suspect decals can be coated with a liquid decal film designed to prevent old decals from fracturing. This link is to the most commonly recommended decal film: Microscale Liquid Decal FilmSpaceDustI want to thank everyone for their help and suggestions. I added more coating to the decals and that seemed to help a great deal. But, even after adding several more coats I still experienced deterioration when applying the decals. I've come to the conclusion the paper is older than what I believed they were to start with. No telling how long they sat on the hobby shop's shelf before I purchased them.Again, thanks for everyone's help. It's greatly appreciated.

Banks cuddle up with Uncle Sam's security blanket
The official line on Wall Street is that an abundance of caution among clients in the face of uncertainty, especially around the direction of interest rates, has depressed trading volumes, volatility and revenues. A similar tale appears to be unfolding at banks themselves.
In the first quarter, the collective holdings of Treasurys by US banks grew by 23%—the biggest shift since the financial crisis and the fifth biggest on record, according to the quarterly banking report released by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. Wednesday. As a result, banks now hold more Treasurys than they have since 1997, even after adjusting for inflation.
That wariness probably signaled that banks, too, were caught off guard by a drop in long-term interest rates, as opposed to widespread expectations that they would rise. And it occurred as deposits continued to swell—up 1.1% from the previous quarter—while loan growth once again failed to keep a similar pace, at just 0.5%.
Banks' cautious stance also was reflected in continued growth of the reserve coverage ratio, which compares loan-loss reserves to noncurrent loans. Both sides of the ratio have been coming down more or less steadily for the past few years—but banks have brought down reserves more slowly of late. Because doing so adds to profits, this means banks are either running out of room in terms of releasing reserves or are positioning themselves to be prepared for poorer loan performance.
That isn't to say the FDIC report suggests banks have a dire outlook of the near future. But the conservatism stands in contrast to the exuberance of investors in 2013 who pushed the KBW Bank Index up 35%.
Those investors will likely have to wait longer for earnings that will justify further gains in the wake of last year's outperformance.

What is in this article?:
- 2013 peanut acreage question tackled state-by-state
- Acreage, production questionnaire
- A lot of new growers
- Results for Georgia
• To try and get an estimate on the 2013 U.S. peanut crop, a questionnaire was submitted to Peanut Belt agronomists asking them for their thoughts and comments on the upcoming production year.
U.S. PEANUT ACREAGE is expected to decline significantly this year, but a late rush by China to purchase more exports could push the number higher than expected.
While it's still early to make any hard and fast predictions on the 2013 U.S. peanut crop, it's fairly certain there will be a significant decrease in planted acreage, even if increased export sales to China are realized.
"What we do know for certain is that we produced a lot of peanuts this past year," says David Wright, University of Florida Extension agronomist.
"The Southeast produces almost 80 percent of U.S. peanuts with Georgia producing about 50 percent of the U.S. total. Generally, we had good weather conditions in 2012.
"All crops in the lower Southeast made really good yields this past year, including record-high peanut, cotton and corn yields."
Wright presented a forecast of the 2013 U.S. peanut crop during the recent spring conference of the American Peanut Shellers Association, held in Albany, Ga.
Weather forecasters predict that drought conditions are likely to improve in Georgia, Florida, Alabama and into the Carolinas this year, suggesting a good growing season, says Wright.
The data shows that much of the U.S. is now about 1 degree higher in temperature, he adds.
"What does this mean? We do have warmer temperatures, and with these new large-seeded peanut varieties, we've been planting later. Generally, we would plant on about May 10 because of tomato spotted wilt virus.
"But by planting later, we weren't getting the full impact of the new genetics.
"In the last few years, we've backed off that recommendation and we're planting more in late April. That might be one of the reasons we're seeing higher peanut yields.
"Not only do we have better varieties, but we're planting in a season that is giving these new genetics — even in non-irrigated situations — a chance to come back and make a good crop of peanuts after going through a period of stress," he says.
In the next few years as growers continue to plant early, Wright predicts yields will continue to be similar to those of 2012.
"In general, we saw a record year and a 3.37-million-ton crop produced in 2012," he says. "That was about 600,000 tons more than the previous record of 2.7 million tons, and it was 1.5 million tons more than the 2011 short crop."
To try and get an estimate on the 2013 U.S. peanut crop, Wright submitted questionnaires to Peanut Belt agronomists asking them for their thoughts and comments on the upcoming production year.

Water is vital to all of us for the basic necessities of drinking, cleaning, and sanitation. What most people do not think about or generally consider is the water that we use in so many unforeseen ways.
The Value of Water Coalition website contains an informative infographic on "how do you consume your water?" that illustrates this point, all of which factors into your individual water footprint.
A water footprint is the amount of water a person uses throughout the day, including in the food they eat, the clothes they wear and the water that is used to produce the materials and appliances they use. The water that is included in these products is considered to be virtual water, since people do not necessarily see it as it is being consumed.
For more information on water footprints and how to use an innovative online tool for technical calculations, visit the Water Footprint Network.
Americans use more water per capita than any other country in the world. Our water footprint spans the globe through both direct and virtual use. A greater awareness of where our water comes from – including virtual water included in products we import from other countries – and how we actually use it is increasingly important for conservation in an economic system that is becoming more complex and interconnected.
People of the U.S. should think about the virtual water in the products and services we buy and use, because the impact of the water we consume in products usually runs far beyond our local environments and watersheds. We are using and abusing not just our own, but other people's water. Much of our water and resource use is hidden in products, and we need to keep this thought in mind in both large and small decisions if our water use is obvious or not. Valuing and caring for water is something we need to focus more attention on if we expect to have this resource continuously available for our future.

Athetosis - I just noticed that the definition given is flawed. The abnormal movements are not
"twitching" - they are slow and writhing. And the dictionary definition errs in calling it a muscular
disorder. The lesion is in the central nervous system, and not limited to "cerebtral palsy" , though
that would be the most common cause.

Some of these definitions deserve challenge. "Bahadur" I have seen in Persian legends as

Odd college degrees you've never heard of
Published On: Apr 19 2013 03:34:00 PM CDT Updated On: Jan 03 2014 01:00:00 AM CST
Whether they majored in beer or puppetry, many of today's college grads have shunned the traditional majors for things a bit more unique. Here are some of the most unusual college majors.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker said his executive budget will include billions of dollars for transportation infrastructure.
In a news release Friday, the governor's office said the budget will invest $6.4 billion in transportation, including $824 million in new money.
The funds will include money for freight rail, roads, bridges, airports and highways, Walker said. In a news conference Friday, Walker said the money was part of a state surplus.
Speaking to employees at Baraboo's Seneca Foods, Walker said $10 million will provide grants to improve commercial harbors, $55 million will fund routine maintenance and $3 million will go to the state patrol for recruit training.
"The reason we can do that, two years ago remember we had a $3.6 billion budget deficit and we had to make some tough decisions," Walker said. "But they proved to be wise decisions because today, instead of a $3.6 billion deficit, we have a surplus that is almost half a billion dollars and we have revenue growth projected for the next two years."
A bipartisan task force recommended last month that the state should raise gas taxes and impose new mileage-based registration fees, but Republican leaders rejected both ideas.

Each year, the Boy Scouts of America invites Scouts and Scout leaders ages 18 to 30 from around the world to come to the United States spend the summer as an International Camp Staff member of a BSA summer camp or Cub Scout day camp. The days are long and hard. But the trip and what you see and do can be an exciting time of your life.
As a camp staff member, you will
To be a camp staff member, you must
Through the year, Boy Scouts camp with their troops in campsites near their homes. They learn the basic Scout skills and how to live in the out-of-doors.
In the summer, Scouts go to a permanent BSA camp. There are more than 400 Boy Scout camps in the United States. These camps have organized programs for the boys where Scouting skills and ideas are presented.
Some of the camps are small, less than 40 hectares (100 acres) of land, and some are large, more than 10,000 hectares (24,700 acres). Each camp period usually lasts one week. Each camp will have 6 to 11 one-week camp periods. The average camp will have 150 to 200 boys from 10 to 15 different troops in camp each week.
Many things are taught in camp. Some of them are swimming, first aid, canoeing, nature, orienteering, archery, pioneering, camping, hiking, crafts, wood carving, conservation, and other outdoor skills.
The camp staff puts on this program. The camp staff is made up of adult Scouters and older Boy Scouts. The number of staff members ranges from 15 to 20 people in a small camp to as many as 75 in a large camp. Cub Scouts participate in day camp programs filled with exciting activities for younger boys.
For 1 week before the camp opens, you and the rest of the staff will receive training. You and the other staff members will eat in a dining hall and sleep in a tent or in a small cabin. There is little free time, as the staff works on programs all through the day and evening.
The camp director or camp director's representative will be available to help you with any problem that you may have. This friendly Scouter wants your experiences in this country to be happy ones.
Most camps are located in the country, far away from large cities. However, you will receive an occasional free day when you can visit nearby towns or the home of a staff member.
You will have a few costs in camp. You should bring extra money to cover the cost of admission to places of interest, tours, entertainment, postage, snacks, laundry, and souvenir items.
The Scout uniform is worn at all times by staff members. You should wear your Scout association uniform at all times while serving as a member of a camp staff. It is suggested that you bring at least two uniforms to camp.
Accident and medical insurance will be paid by the International Department of the Boy Scouts of America.
While serving in the assigned council camp, you will be paid a salary equal to what is paid to American counselors at that camp. You will be advised of the amount of the salary upon acceptance by a BSA local council camp for employment. You will also receive room and board during camp.
The International Department of the Boy Scouts of America will provide specific documents (DS-2019 visa and I-901 SEVIS forms) to secure your J-1 visa. The International Department will no longer be able to provide a visa grant or travel scholarship to assist with your fees. Please prepare financially to pay for your own visa, SEVIS, and airfare costs.
After completing the program, the Immigration and Naturalization Service allows a 30-day travel period commonly referred to as the "grace period." During this 30-day grace period, travel in the United States is allowed but you must leave the U.S. on or before the last day you are authorized to be in the U.S. Staying beyond the period authorized by the Department of Homeland Security is a violation of U.S. immigration laws and may cause you to be ineligible for a visa in the future for return travel to the United States.
If you meet the requirements and would like to be a BSA camp staff member in the United States, you should apply now.
Fill out the application and medical form and send it to your national Scout association for their approval before January 1.
Your national Scout association will approve your application and send it to: International Department, Boy Scouts of America, 1325 West Walnut Hill Lane, P.O. Box 152079, Irving, Texas 75015-2079, U.S.A. All applications must be received by the BSA by February 15. Applications received after this date will not be considered for placement.
The BSA will notify you of your acceptance.
If you have any questions, contact your Scout association.

Last night we were talking about spa towns, as you do. Baden-Baden came into the discussion. We decided that while we knew why New York, New York we didn't know why Baden-Baden. Since the equivalent to New York, New York would be Baden-Baden, Baden-Wurttemberg it doesn't appear to be for the same reason. Can anyone help?

It is like New York,New York.
I searched for History Baden-Baden, and got this:
"......In 1619 the Bohemians deposed their Catholic king from the House of Habsburg, and offered the crown to a Protestant prince, the Prince Elector Friedrich V of the Palatinate. Most of his councillors and several friendly princes advised him against accepting. But Friedrich opted for the Bohemian crown. With Elisabeth, his young English wife, he got into the coach and drove from Heidelberg to Prague. In November 1619, he was crowned there. Almost exactly a year later, in November 1620, he lost the battle of White Mountain by Prague to Tilly, the commander of the Catholic League. He fled clear through Germany to the Netherlands In the state of Baden-Württemberg were united the states of Baden, Württemberg-Baden and Württemberg-Hohenzollern, newly created after the end of the war in 1945. Based on the Referendum of 9 December 1951 ("Southwest State Referendum"), the new federal state of Baden-Württemberg was constituted on 25 April 1952...."

Yeah, WW, and they're like NY,NY. Baden-Baden seemed different as you still needed to put the State after it. But Dr Bill's right I think, back in history it was Baden in Baden state, but then Baden state was combined with others, but the town was left as Baden-Baden, but needed the new state name after it to make a full address.

Oh, dxb, I wasn't really offering anything other than some interesting geographical locations in which there is a duplication of sounds--a tangent at best, but one that seemed worth throwing into this particular pot. Couldn't find any other pot to throw those sounds into.

There's a bunch of places in Oz with double barrel names.
Perhaps the most famous is the central New South Wales city of Wagga Wagga. Pronounced wog-uh both times.
In the local aboriginal language 'wagga' is the name given to what Europeans call a crow (which, just to muddy the waters further, is actually a raven most times in Oz - it's all to do with the eye colour). Wagga Wagga simply means 'many crows'!! Perhaps this is the basis of double barreled place names elsewhere in the world. It's a simple enough rule.
Another NSW regional town is Goonoo Goonoo. For variation's sake this is pronounced 'gun-uh g-noo' NOT 'goo-noo goo-noo' - by the european populace anyway.
The famous (former) copper mining town of Burra (which is where the movie 'Breaker Morant' was filmed) is aksherly Burra Burra (pron buh-ruh buh-ruh).
With the exception of Goonoo Goonoo (and others I suspect), it is quite acceptable to only use one word in conversation when referring to these places - eg Wagga, Burra etc.
I could go on.....

Yes, see what you mean. I looked up Seaton Carew, playground of the north-east coast; apparently it is on land once owned by the Carou family which sounds more French than British. There must be a story there somwhere.

I have a friend who had twin girls at 32weeks and are now home after 5 weeks in the hospital. I am trying to help her with a few things and before I open my mouth with advice I would like to get everyone's take on a few things.
1. Nipple Shields. I have heard that unless you have a nipple problem like inverted or whatever, you should try not to use these. Less milk transfer and what not. Any info on this would be wonderful.
2. Supplementing with formula. I understand that many moms have to do this and thats fine I just want to know the pros and cons of it when looking towards the future.
3. Is it important for premature babies to be supplemented with formula for weight gain?
Any information on anything in this post would be wonderful

Is it newsworthy to report that Bernard's Tavern — whose boozy last name self-proclaims its truest identity — has recently added a few new menu items? I'll answer that by asking another (multiple-part) question: Do you enjoy hanging out in a handsome joint just to simultaneously watch multiple sporting events (like the Olympics and baseball) on multiple well-positioned HDTVs while knocking back multiple microbrews and grabbing something decent to eat — with priorities in that order? If you answered no, then Bernard's is probably not your cup of Great Lakes or Four String Brewing beer. If you said yes, then — after a smidgen of background — I'll offer some Bernard's suggestions.
By mere virtue of its status as the only real sports bar in the Short North, Bernard's Tavern carved out its niche simply by popping onto the scene a couple of years ago. Its roomy and accommodating mix of exposed brick and black-tinted hip neighborhood-appropriate character plus extended happy hours (dozens of brews and several appetizers are available for half off until 8 p.m.) translated into instant success. If its less-than-chef-driven food sometimes seems like cuisine can take a backseat here, that's not to say you can't score some entertaining suds-slamming buddies.
Spicy, crunchy and inexpensive are my favorite adjectives for sporty and fun-to-fire-extinguish beer snacks, and those modifiers apply to these happy hour-discounted starters: Devil Hot-sauced Chicken wings (12 for $4.50), Fried Banana Peppers (a heaving platter for $3.75) and nifty new taquitos (five biggies for $4). Except for a fine crispiness and a zingy if not quite explosive sauce (think Buffalo-style on steroids) the popular flappers are pretty standard-issue. I only wish the puffy, fish-n-chippy-battered spicy pickled peppers were also as common — because those silly things were a giggly rush to munch on. Best of all were the attractively flaky taquitos — long, tightly rolled, un-greasy golden brown fried tortilla logs packed with salty and spicy Mexican chorizo.
For more rib-sticking fare, you cannot err with one of Bernard's big, thick and grill-seared hand-formed, half-pound, real-deal hamburgers. Sure, you can go with meat alone, ($8.50; all burgers come with fries) but at a go-for-broke place like this, I recommend throwing caution — along with discretion and decorum — to the wind by opting for an overloaded number such as the Ginny's BBQ Burger ($11, excitedly described as "Our most popular burger!"). Spilling over with crispy and thick bacon, melted cheddar, a "no surprises" BBQ sauce plus a fistful of onion straws, it was a helluva satisfying messy construction, especially when partnered with crinkly, crunchy (likely pre-bagged) sweet potato fries.
Another recommended item is the Not Your Mom's Grilled Cheese Sandwich ($7.50), with the new menu option of pot roasty beef short rib meat ($4 extra, and worth it). A mammoth, Texas toast-bound three cheese onslaught receiving richness relief from tomato and Dijon mustard made for a grown-up kiddie treat.
If the stout, creamy-gravy-doused redskin smashers and rosemary-kissed glazed carrots were the only scratch-made things in the massive Thanksgiving Dinner ($13) — unless your mom is a Martha Stewart-type cook (guilty!) — the assembly of those goodies with extra-thick slices of griddled deli-style turkey and Stove Top-like cornbread stuffing might be convincing enough to pass for authentic holiday fare. Either way, it's a filling and comforting repast that pairs well with multiple sports and multiple beers.

Welcome to the Department of Geography at Southern Connecticut State University. I
invite you to explore our website in order get to know our amazing faculty members,
learn more about our innovative program offerings, explore student-faculty research
opportunities, and find out more about geography as a basis for academic inquiry and
professional development. Geography is an exciting, diverse and dynamic field and
our department aims to provide our students with a strong foundation in geographic
theory and practice in order to prepare them for the exceptional career and graduate
school opportunities in geography. You may explore some of these opportunities by
visiting the Association of American Geographers Online Career Guide or by talking to one of our faculty members directly.
While aiming to provide the full spectrum of a geography education to our students, our department has particular interests in Applied GIS (Geographic Information Science and Technology), Applied Sustainability, and Geographic Field Research. In addition, our faculty has significant national and international teaching and research experience and we aim to engage our students in collaborative research projects in a local as well as an international context. Recently our faculty and students have engaged in projects focused on coastal resilience and environmental hazards in Connecticut, sustainable food systems in Iceland, water resource management in Central America, urban change in Central Asia, and eco-labeling in South Africa's wine Industry.
I hope that browsing our website will provide you with a glimpse into what our department has to offer in terms of learning, research and preparation for postgraduate success. Geography at Southern is an exciting and diverse program and our students have found tremendous success after graduation.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

I'm trying everything to stop boo biting at the moment, any more hints? (She has chicken pox at the moment, so it might be because of that or more teething, it's been about 3 months she's been non stop teething now).
She's 11 months.
She's also got into the habit of stretching my boob out when feeding and even bracing an arm against me. I can't seem to push her into my breast further as she's too strong!
Any ideaS? Not looking forward to tonight's feed.

Our M.S., Management program is designed to help students identify and develop the skills necessary to manage contemporary organizations. The Masters of Science in Management degree addresses "professional skills" such as critical thinking, collaboration, team building, human relations, and leadership that many employers indicate are important for professional success and advancement while also teaching basic business fundamentals. Students in this program focus on the human side of an organization. The MSM program is designed to support the development of managers to ensure an organization's staff is organized, trained, guided, and motivated in such a way as to reach their greatest potential. The goal of the Master of Science in Management Program is to align the synthesis of technology (online methodology), critical thinking, and practical application to develop well-rounded managers with a clear perspective of how to strategically position and lead an organization.
M.S. Management is formatted to meet the needs of working adults. Students will use Greenville's online learning platform to submit assignments, discuss organizational issues, and stay connected with professors and peers.
Online courses at Greenville College are designed with student engagement at the core. Online students are challenged with a variety of learning experiences both independently and cooperatively within the course. The amount of interaction varies by subject, but a well-managed study plan will help the online learner stay focused, on task, and involved.
A wide variety of master's level business programs exist, and one of your most difficult choices is deciding which program fits your needs. Greenville's M.S. Management is ideal for students who want to develop practical management skills. The program emphasizes highly relevant, workplace-based situations by requiring students to produce a Capstone Action Research Project. It utilizes a practical approach that benefits working professionals because it allows the immediate integration of actionable knowledge and critical thinking skills in their working environment.
Students will participate in hands-on learning methods and case studies which will allow them to reflect on practices encountered in the workplace along with decision-making skills that can impact workplace situations.
Students are fully engaged with their organization throughout the master's program. This approach allows meaningful and positive changes to be implemented along with critical reflection.

Snappy Foods Inc. owns the mansion, and about a month ago the company offered it free to someone who would incur the expense of moving it from the corner it sits on.
If no none took the offer, the house was to be torn down to make way for a Snappy Foods convenience store.
"But we finally found a home for that," Motaghi said. "Next week, we will finalize it."
Motaghi said the Shelton home will be moved within Refugio County, somewhere north of Bayside on waterfront property.
He said another 1907 house already there would be right next to the Shelton house, which has about 5,000 square feet in it.
Originally the Shelton house was a bungalow, built in 1912. The second floor was added in 1928.
It is not clear who built the bungalow.

Managing secrets
Council keeps mum on most but Beck in city manager selection
By Andre Coleman 08/14/2008
Nearly a year after the retirement of former City Manager Cynthia Kurtz, Pasadena may finally have a full-time chief executive in Riverside's Michael Beck.
But the process of selecting Beck for the city's top post in no way resembled how the City Council chose the past two chief executives. Nor was the process a model of transparency in how government agencies select top officers, with only two of the other 60 candidates for the city manager's job — Interim City Manager Bernard Melekian and San Diego Chief Financial Officer and former Pasadena Director of Finance Jay Goldstone — ever being publicly identified.
Back in 1991, City Council members revealed the identities of some of the candidates — two of them highly qualified African-American men from North Carolina and Richmond, Calif. — being considered to replace retiring City Manager Don McIntyre, causing some public clamor over the subsequent selection of Phil Hawkey, who is white.
Nearly seven years later, Hawkey was replaced without fanfare by Kurtz, then the former director of Public Works and an assistant city manager. Hawkey left City Hall to serve as executive vice president of the University of LaVerne and Kurtz, who after 10 years following him at the helm announced her retirement in October.
This time around, though, the council played its cards close to the vest, refusing to publicly or privately reveal the identities of most of the other candidates before picking Beck, a 43-year-old assistant city manager for the city of Riverside.
"He is a bright, creative, innovative leader," said City Councilwoman Margaret McAustin, who along with Council members Jacque Robinson and Sid Tyler traveled to Riverside in order to speak with Beck and research his background.
Although the terms of his contract with the city have not been finalized, Beck appeared thrilled to be picked for the post. When Kurtz took the job in 1998, her yearly salary was more than $186,000, rising to $214,000 by the time she left last year. In his last year on the job in December 1997, Hawkey was making $148,000 a year, excluding perks like use of a city-owned car, paid meals and travel and other amenities.
Although his salary upon signing was not immediately known, in Riverside Beck was making about $200,000 a year, according to a report in the Riverside Press-Enterprise.
"It is an honor to come to Pasadena," Beck said after a special ceremony Monday at City Hall in which Mayor Bill Bogaard and council members announced his selection. When he and the city come to terms, Beck will be replacing Melekian on Sept. 1.
Melekian, who is also Pasadena's chief of police, will return to that post soon after Beck takes over at City Hall, then stay on at least another year while serving as president of the California Police Chief's Association.
"Pasadena is clearly renowned for its civic achievements," Beck said. "Pasadena, like Riverside, has a historic nature, and in Riverside I had great successes in transportation. Both [Riverside and Pasadena] are growing, but the areas around them are growing faster because they are job centers and it is hard to retain the quality of a community that is growing as a job center.
Further, Beck continued, "I believe in open and honest government. Government should always be transparent."
Transparency clearly was not a priority, however, in the city manager search, which began in January after Kurtz formally retired.
Although the council selected Melekian as the interim city manager soon after Kurtz left, the chief took his name out of the running for the full-time position in April.
"We had 120 comments online and one public meeting to discuss what the public wanted" from the new city manager, said Bogaard, who had nothing but praise for Beck. The council also held two closed sessions on the city manager selection, but took no formal action at either meeting.
"Michael Beck has demonstrated the experience, talent and judgment we have been looking for," said Bogaard. "He has a strategic vision and strong management skills and is highly respected for his participative management style. He has established a strong presence in the Riverside community as a good listener and innovative problem-solver, consensus builder and a person who gets things done."
Former Pasadena Mayor, now Ventura City Manager, Rick Cole told the Weekly that he was recruited for the position, but was never a candidate.
"I did not apply for it," Cole said. However, he said, "I did have several conversations regarding the position. There was exploration of the process."
Bogaard said Beck probably sealed the job in mid-July, after Robinson, McAustin and Tyler — or as Bogaard called them, the Riverside Caucus — visited Riverside.
"We worked him over pretty well during the site visit," Tyler said at the press conference Monday. "Not just in person, but through the people who know him. He's not only good for Pasadena now, but he is good for Pasadena's future. He's always thinking about how he can improve things."
Robinson, who is African-American, said Beck was very forthcoming about his background and abilities and that he received high marks from Riverside's residents of color.
Bogaard said secrecy by the council was essential to picking the best possible candidate.
"We do want to promote public participation, but the capable leaders are currently employed," Bogaard pointed out. "They are not prepared to expose their interest prematurely in something that could hurt them in their current position. I don't know if that was the case 17 years ago."

P2308 DODGE - Ignition Coil Secondary Number 3 Circuit Condition
- Faulty Ignition Coil 3
- Ignition Coil 3 harness is open or shorted
- Ignition Coil 3 circuit poor electrical connection
- Engine may be running rough
The ignition system is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) on all engines. Each cylinder is equipped with 1 dual-output coil. Meaning one coil mounts directly over one of the dual spark plugs for 1 high-voltage output.
Battery voltage is supplied to all of the ignition coils positive terminals from the ASD relay. If the PCM does not see a signal from the crankshaft and camshaft sensors (indicating the ignition key is ON but the engine is not running), it will shut down the ASD circuit.
Base ignition timing is not adjustable. By controlling the coil ground circuits, the PCM is able to set the base timing and adjust the ignition timing advance. This is done to meet changing engine operating conditions.
The PCM adjusts ignition timing based on inputs it receives from:
- The engine coolant temperature sensor
- The crankshaft position sensor (engine speed)
- The camshaft position sensor (crankshaft position)
- The manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor
- The throttle position sensor
- Transmission gear selection


text: I have been using a nipple shield to breastfeed my infant (she was born at 36 weeks and is nine days old). I am concerned about my milk production. How much should I be pumping after each feeding? I'm also concerned that she's not getting enough milk each feeding, thru the nipple shield. She gets real fussy and is very worked up and hungry before feeding but then after a couple of pulls on the breast she often seems to forget what to do and gets fussy and crying again. Any advice?

House Democrats sketch outline of own Minn. budget
The first concrete signs of where legislative Democrats line up or depart from Gov. Mark Dayton on the budget are about to emerge.
Majority House Democrats were due Tuesday to release the outline that will guide their budget setting. It is likely to include subtle differences with a plan produced by the Democratic governor.
The framework, known around the Capitol as budget targets, detail how much money the House plans to put into each major program category -- from education to economic development. The specific details will get filled in over the next month.
Legislative Democrats say they generally agree with Dayton's emphasis on education and his call for more tax revenue. But the House leadership wants to move faster than Dayton on repaying IOUs to public schools.

The Mississippi Valley Conservancy and City of La Crosse have come to an agreement over concerns with the organization's use of funds.
Earlier this year, city and state officials requested an audit of the bluffland protection agency, focusing specifically on 1.4 million dollars in grants and city money. The audit found the money was used properly.
As part of the agreement, MVC has agreed to make improvements to its accounting practices and transfer ownership of all seven properties it used city funds to purchase.
That was something MVC officials say they had agreed to do all along. "There were contract disputes between the city and MVC and all the parties have decided lets focus on moving forward and do a positive thing," said MVC Executive Director Tim Jacobson.
MVC will continue to maintain the blufflands in the area.
