Analysis: For Obama, could 10,000 troops in Afghanistan be too many?
Analysis: For Obama, could 10,000 troops in Afghanistan be too many?
By Phil Stewart
WASHINGTON | Mon Nov 26, 2012 6:01pm EST
(Reuters) - President Barack Obama publicly scoffed at the idea of keeping 10,000 troops in Iraq. So could he really be persuaded to keep that many in Afghanistan after the war formally ends in 2014?
The 10,000 figure is well within a preliminary range put forward by the top U.S. and NATO commander in Afghanistan, General John Allen, and which is informing deliberations by the Obama administration, one U.S. official said.
But the optics could be tricky for Obama, who must balance his promise to end the war in Afghanistan in 2014 with the need to keep enough forces there to prevent the destabilization of the country and a return of al Qaeda. He also must get Kabul to agree.
"As long as (U.S. troops) are in a war zone and putting their lives on the line, it's hard for any president to say the war is over," said Juan Zarate, a former counterterrorism adviser to President George W. Bush and a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
unhappycamper comment: If we figure these 10,000 unfortunates cost $1 million a year (fully loaded since we are paying at least 70% of NATO costs and most of the bill for the 100+ thousand contractors currently in Afghanistan), no.

3. They should've never been deployed to Afghanistan
but as long as there are people who believe the hoax of establishing democracy and defending freedom and security (which is just a guise for MIC to plunder the country) the troops will remain there and anti-US sentiment will increase further.

The Supreme Court's health care ruling has proved to be lucrative for politics.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee said today it has raised $2.3 million since the high court upheld President Obama's health care law last Thursday.
The campaign team charged with electing Democrats to the House says nearly 65,000 donations poured in, the average being $35. Saturday was the DCCC's biggest grass-roots fundraising day.
"Our grass-roots support has been absolutely off the charts, and House Democrats are shattering records because Americans are energized about historic protections for middle-class health care consumers and appalled that Republicans plan to vote to put insurance companies back in charge of their health care," said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, chairman of the DCCC.
Obama and Mitt Romney were among those who immediately began raising money off the court's decision. Romney raised $4.6 million in the first 24 hours after the Supreme Court announced its ruling.

London (AFP) March 29, 2011
China has shot to second place in the number of articles published in international science magazines and in a few years will take the top spot from the United States, according to a new report.
"China has already overtaken the UK as the second leading producer of research publications, but some time before 2020 it is expected to surpass the USA," said the report by the Royal Society in London.
While the top 10 is still dominated by the major Western powers, their share of research papers published is falling, the report said.
And as well as China, Brazil and India are coming up fast.
"The USA leads the world in research, producing 20 percent of the world's authorship of research papers, dominating world university league tables, and investing nearly $400 billion per year in public and private research and development," said the report released Monday.
"The UK, Japan, Germany and France each also command strong positions in the global league tables, producing high quality publications and attracting researchers to their world class universities and research institutes," it added.
But while these five countries alone produced 59 percent of all spending on science globally, their dominant position was nevertheless slipping.
China shot up from sixth place in the period 1999-2003 (4.4 percent of the total) to second place behind the United States with 10.2 percent over the years 2004-08, overtaking Japan.
While the United States remained in the top spot, it saw its share shrink from 26.4 percent to 21.2 percent.
Britain remained third with its share at 6.5 percent, down from 7.1 percent.
In a statement last week after Britain's budget however, the Royal Society welcomed finance minister George Osborne's promise of another 100 million pounds (114 million euros, $160 million) of capital investment in science.
Japan slipped from second to fourth place, falling from 7.8 percent to 6.1 percent, said the report.
Germany, in fifth place, published six percent, down from seven percent, while France, in sixth, published 4.4 percent, down from five percent.
Rounding off the top 10 were Canada, Italy, Spain -- and India, which pushed Russia out of the top 10, moving up from 13th position.
"China's rise up the rankings has been especially striking," said the report.
"China has heavily increased its investment in R and D (research and development), with spending growing by 20 percent per year since 1999 to reach over $100 billion a year today," it continued.
That came to 1.44 percent of the country's GDP in 2007, it added.
"China is also turning out huge numbers of science and engineering graduates, with 1.5 million leaving its universities in 2006," the report added.
Further down the rankings, but making dramatic progress, were Iran and Turkey.
Turkey's improved scientific performance had been almost as dramatic as China's, the report said, noting that it had declared research a public priority in the 1990s.
The country had increased its research and development nearly six-fold between 1995 and 2007, and during the same period, the number of researchers there had increased by 43 percent.
Iran was the fastest-growing country in terms of numbers of scientific publications, rising from 736 in 1996 to 13,238 in 2008.
"The scientific world is changing and new players are fast appearing," said Chris Llewellyn Smith, who chaired the study at the Royal Society, Britain's national science academy.
"Beyond the emergence of China, we see the rise of southeast Asian, Middle Eastern, north African and other nations.
"The increase in scientific research and collaboration, which can help us to find solutions to the global challenges we now face, is very welcome.
"However, no historically dominant nation can afford to rest on its laurels if it wants to retain the competitive economic advantage that being a scientific leader brings."
The Royal Society's findings were published in its report entitled "Knowledge, networks and nations: Global scientific collaboration in the 21st century".

Upper: Leather; Sole: Leather; Lining: Leather
This information is shown as a guide only and not a guarantee.Actual fitting may vary.
Do you think your friend would like to know that DDS has this item? Just fill in the following information and we will let them know!
I have a high instep and arch. These shoes fit my foot great, but were very tight on the top of my foot and therefore uncomfortable, especially when teaching for many hours. If they could make the top straps with a more elastic material, they would be so much better!
Age: 30 to 39
Was this review helpful to you? YES (
Fit: Runs small
Bought these for teaching. The length of these shoes looks okay (I'm a 7.5-8, ordered a 7.5), but there is no way I can get them on over my high arches (not an uncommon feature among dancers, I think). They're built with a low instep, and the "stretchy" part barely stretches at all. The leather seems soft and supple, quality seems okay, but I'm going to have to return these. Super disappointed, since Bloch makes the only elastic insert jazz shoe that fits over my arch, and I had high hopes.
Age: 22 to 29
I have been buying these for years because A) I don't want a buckle scraping me during batterie or frappes, and B) Because capezio pedinis are HORRIBLE.
These fit nicely, when you first get them.
The problem is, they stretch out and slide around your foot, and in a matter of a few wearings, reek like a corpse. I could bust through a pair of these a week easily, but since they aren't cheap, like a Sansha canvas shoe, I suck it up and keep the soggy. sweaty mess on for much longer. All of this said, they are still the best teaching shoe the DDS offers.
Age: 40-49
Definitely don't size down. Since the other reviews mentioned the shoe being small, I did not size down-instead I ordered my regular street size of 7.5. I can't even get the shoe on. They are probably two full inches shorter than my street shoes. I haven't been able to wear them of course, but I love the feel of the leather. It's buttery soft. The color is a bit more true pink than the picture. I think they might be worth exchanging and hoping to get the size righ next time.
I wear a street size 7.5 to 8 W and ordered the size 7.5 as it suggested and couldn't even get these on. They are definitely not for a wide foot...
Per the website I ordered a half size smaller and they are too small. My daughter was not the only one in her dance class that had too send back the shoes because they were too small. Beware of ordering a half size smaller.
I'm a dance teacher who teaches all ages and different styles from ballet to jazz. My dance shoes were getting worn out, so I thought I would get these Grecian Teaching Sandals. When they came they were too small. I followed the size directions of ordering a size lower then your street shoe, but it would have been better to get my true shoe size. The one I got on was tight and flimsy. There just wasn't much shoe. I doubt these would stand up to hours teaching dance each week. I had to pay a pretty penny to ship them back for the return. They were not worth buying. I decided to go with a basic black jazz shoe instead.
These shoes are exactly what I have come to expect from Bloch.
They arrived very quickly after I placed my order and I am thrilled.
Great product! I read previous reviews pertaining to the sizing and ordered a half size down. When I tried them on, they were indeed a perfect fit. I love how comfortable the heel is! This shoe proves to be worth the investment.
Age: 30-39
Great teaching shoe! Gives wonderful support with the soft, rounded heel (as opposed to other heeled teaching shoes with a sharp, hard heel). Very complimentary to your feet and arches and easy to wear all day. I even teach ballet classes on low-nap carpet in a church and usually go through shoes in a month or so and these lasted me a whole year because of the large leather sole on the bottom!! Very hard to wear out! My only complaint is that you have to wear them barefoot (because they have no middle on the bottom) and they get stinky and gross after awhile. Otherwise, they're an excellent shoe! Highly recommend!!
I have to review this shoe although I know the reviews are already great. Fit was as stated and the standard width is suitable for dancers with narrow feet as well. These shoes are incredibly flattering on most foot types. Didn't have the same issues with heel slipping that plagues the Pedini series. Haven't worn holes in them after dancing five days a week for the past month. I really can't think of a reason not to buy this shoe. Fantastic.
I bought these about 10 months ago and I loved them from the start. I use them for everything, from ballet to hip hop. I ordered them about a size smaller (7), and they conformed to my feet perfectly. They did take some time to break in, a period of about 2 weeks or so, but they are definitely worth the money. Plus they are very flattering to my arch and my point, and I love having a little heel.
I have had these for a year now. They are durable and a good investment. However, they stretched out quite a bit and now they slip in the heel preventing me from doing any real dancing in them. If you order them, order slightly smaller than you might normally, as they do stretch out (quite a bit in my case). Also, the elastic on the bottom will stretch out quite a bit too.
This shoe is wonderful. I completely love it. It is immediately comfortable, no breaking in period (like the 3 months of squished toes to break in the Pedini Femme). Also, the heel stays put, and doesn't slip unlike the before mentioned dance shoe. The color is a lovely pale nude. Gives my foot a lovely point!
I have these and they are great for turns & jazz moves. A lot of girls are wearing the footies now that don't have any support. These are light enough and still protect the feet and are great for learning turns.
Is the heel made out of rubber? If not, what material?
I think, its a rubber. - Saipanda (08/18/2015)
Sign in before answering this dancer's questions.
Was this Q & A helpful to you? YES (
I teach very young kids (starting at 2). Has anyone had any experience wearing "teaching shoes" as opposed to regular ballet slippers with these young ages? I really would love the support of the heel, but i also know how observant and rule oriented tiny kids are.
Most teachers prefer to go with a full sole leather ballet slipper, especially for comfort. The only downfall would be the sizing starts at a size 10, so for small children age 2 would not be able to purchase these.- DDS Customer Service (09/10/2013)
The color of this shoe is more true to the 360 degree view as opposed to the color swatch. However, it is still a true light pink color.- DDS Customer Service (08/14/2013)
Dear DDS,
I still confuse about the size of ES0410L for me. I don't wanna make mistake about the size since this is an overseas shipment.
The shoe is half smaller than US Street shoe. Generally, my shoes is between
6 and 6.5 US street shoes because I have a morton feet-narrow-low
arch-22.5cm but become 23cm when I wear spacer between big and second toe.
For Bloch Dansoft I use 4B, for Jazz shoes (enduro Tech) I wear 6N. So,
please find me the right size.. Bloch shoes have so many different types of
shoes and confusing sizes for those who are online buyer.
Need your reply soon.
Thank You
Based off the measurement you gave, your street size would be a 6.5. Follow the size guides and go 1/2 size smaller to a size 6.0.- DDS Customer Service (03/19/2013)
how can I compare and find the size slipper I need. y chart on this page only goes up to size 6 adult.
This shoe states to order .5 sizes smaller than street. So you would need a size 8.5 in this shoe. The shoe is offered in that size.- DDS Customer Service (01/30/2013)
The shoe in PINK is a flesh tone pink as pictured and the color swatch- DDS Customer Service (11/09/2012)

At Palena in Cleveland Park, chef Frank Ruta serves this soup garnished with a single scallop that has been pan-roasted with a thin slice of prosciutto, some shiitake mushroom caps and pieces of roasted kabocha squash.
Kabocha is a winter squash that is showing up in greater numbers at area farmers markets. Its flesh is sweet and deeply flavored.
Servings: 8
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 medium onion, cut into very thin slices (2 1/4 to 2 1/2 cups)
- Flesh from 1 or 2 small (or 1/2 medium) kabocha squash (1 pound), seeded and cut into chunks (2 1/2 cups)
- 2 ounces (3 good-size) shiitake mushrooms, stemmed (may substitute matsutakes, chanterelles or a combination of those mushrooms)
- Scant 2 cups water
- About 3 tablespoons carnaroli or arborio rice
- 1 smoked ham hock or small hambone
- 1 tablespoon salt
Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven (or other ovenproof pot with a tight-fitting lid) over medium heat. Add the onions and stir to coat. Cook uncovered for 35 to 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is slightly caramelized and completely dry.
Preheat the oven to 225 degrees.
Add the squash, mushrooms, water, rice, ham hock or hambone and salt. Increase the heat to high and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the salt. Then cover and transfer to the oven; if the pot is fairly large, place a piece of parchment paper loosely over the surface of the mixture. Slow-roast for 1 1/2 to 2 hours; the squash, mushrooms and rice should be quite tender.
Transfer to the stove top (off the heat). Discard the bone; if some of its meat falls into the soup, that's okay. Use an immersion (stick) blender to puree until very smooth, or use a blender or food processor (work in batches; remove the center knob of the blender lid to allow steam to escape and place a clean dish towel over the opening).
Taste, and adjust the seasoning as needed. Divide among individual bowls; serve warm.
VARIATIONS: For a more complex flavor, substitute a meat stock or broth for the water; reduce the salt in the recipe as needed. For garnish ideas, see the headnote.

Breast and symmetric healing after augmentation
Recovery After Breast Surgery
- Stiffness, swelling and bruising in the chest region: These are normal experiences as the skin, muscles and tissue heal. Pain medication and muscle relaxants will help you cope with any discomfort. Consistent sharp pain should be reported to your board-certified surgeon.
- Hypersensitivity of nipples or lack of sensitivity: This is normal and will gradually resolve over time.
- A mild to severe itchy feeling of the breasts is possible as healing progresses. An antihistamine like Benadryl can help to alleviate severe, constant itchiness. If the skin becomes red and hot to the touch, contact your board-certified surgeon immediately.
- Asymmetry, the breasts look different, or heal differently: Breasts may look or feel quite different from one another in the days following surgery. This is normal. No two breasts in nature or following surgery are perfectly symmetrical.
- Discuss returning to work with your board-certified surgeon, in our office it is typically 3-5 days post-surgery but you may not overexert yourself or do any heavy lifting.
- You may resume exercise and your normal routine at six weeks unless your surgeon advises otherwise.

Give it time
Hello. A month and two weeks is not near enough time for the implants to.Your implants will not settle for about another three to four months and I would not be too worried about your outcome until then. Until then the best thing you can do to help them settle would be to massage and continue using any compressive dressings your surgeon had provided

Since this could be a seroma or hematoma, either of which will need to be addressed, a visit to your surgeon is far more valuable than collecting on line opinions.
Alternatives include different preop size (preop photos would have been helpful) difference, swelling, differential position due to muscle tightness.
If there is not fluid collection, and the breasts were even before surgery, expect resolution as swelling resolves and the implants settle.
All the best.
Why Does my Left Breast Look Fuller and Bigger Than my Right
One breast may swell more than the other during the early post op phase. I would discuss this with your surgeon. You probably had some asymmetry prior to surgery.
Breast Augentation- symmetry questions on day 7
During the early time around surgery, I recommend reviewing your preoperative photos. Much of your asymmetry was likely there preoperatively. The left breast implant on the photo provided does seem slightly bigger however reviewing your preop photos may clarify what is going on. A visit to your surgeon is probably on the schedule so make sure you ask him/her if there is anything to worry about.

Early in post operative period
It is very early in your recovery process and it is very common for one side to swell more the the other.
Follow with your surgeon.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — President Hugo Chavez's approval ratings remain in the 50 percent range, but a majority of Venezuelans disapprove of the government's performance on key issues such as crime, corruption and the economy, according to a poll released Wednesday.
The survey by the Caracas-based polling firm Datanalisis said Chavez's popularity stood at about 49 percent in late July, similar to his 50 percent rating the previous month. The poll consulted 1,300 Venezuelans and had a margin of error of nearly three percentage points.
Chavez has scaled back his televised appearances recently while undergoing cancer treatment. He had a tumor removed from his pelvic region in June and says chemotherapy aims to prevent any reappearance of cancerous cells.
The 57-year-old president's popularity hasn't been affected by his illness, said Luis Vicente Leon, president of Datanalisis.
Leon said, however, that for the first time in the monthly poll, Venezuelans evaluated the government's performance negatively in a majority of areas.
"That could have to do with the fact that Chavez isn't as present as he was before, and so people may perceive that the country is a bit paralyzed," Leon told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
The monthly survey asked Venezuelans' views about the government's performance in 14 areas. While nearly 53 percent evaluated the government's social programs for the poor positively, for other areas those disapproving outnumbered those with favorable views.
A large majority were dissatisfied with the government's performance in areas including jobs, housing, "your economic situation," ''personal security," and "ending corruption."
Chavez, who has been in office since 1999, plans to run for re-election in late 2012.
The survey said nearly 33 percent of those polled said they would vote for an opposition candidate if the presidential election were held immediately, while 31 percent would support Chavez. Others said they didn't know, didn't answer or wouldn't vote for any candidate.

According to the blog post by Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke, the game was "born out of The King of Limbs sessions" and uses the music from the song "Bloom". PolyFauna is a bit more of a game than the others we mentioned, but not by much. It is motion-controlled and requires you to really move around, or at least spin (as such, we found the best way to play was sitting in a swivel chair). As you move your phone, the camera in the game pans around the stylized world. You can take pictures or draw on the screen, but the aim is really to follow a red dot. Each time you catch the red dot, the world explodes and reforms into the next setting.
There isn't really anything as far as progression or difficulty changes, but the experience itself is still quite enjoyable. The worlds in the game are beautifully designed, though stark. The still pictures below really don't fully do the visuals justice. It is something you need to see (and hear) to understand. Luckily, the game is available for free on either Android or iOS.

Offshore Drilling Permits Issued Since BP Oil Spill
The number of permits issued by the Department of Interior for offshore drilling in the Gulf of Mexico fell precipitously after the BP oil spill of April 2010 and has not recovered significantly. The blue line represents deepwater permits. The purple line represents shallow water permits. In the month of December 2009 alone there were 12 deepwater permits issued and in March 2010, the month before the oil spill, there were 13 shallow water permits. Shallow water permits have recovered somewhat, so that there were nine issued in February 2011. But there have only been five deepwater permits issued in total since the BP accident. The huge impact this has had on investment and employment in the offshore industry was documented in this report by Quest Offshore Resources, Inc., featured on the site last week.

Bloodbath at Blackberry
(Undated) -- Struggling smartphone maker BlackBerry is announcing plans to shed about 4,500 jobs as part of the company's restructuring.
The move comes as BlackBerry releases its Z30 phone in hopes it will revive its fortunes. The company was an early pioneer in producing phones that could access the Internet.
However, the surge of the iPhone and other brands of smartphone have all but stripped BlackBerry of its share of the market. The company expects to report a quarterly loss of between 950,000 and $1 billion.

Celtics win battle of defenses, oust 76ers to face Heat
Boston Celtics fans have been counting down the days together for Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen.
Boston's Big 3 lives to play another day.
But it was the late play of Rajon Rondo that proved pivotal, with his rebounding and nine consecutive points, that got the Celtics to a 85-75 home victory Saturday against the Philadelphia 76ers to advance to the third Eastern Conference finals since the Big 3 formed in 2007-08.

PHOTOS: Top highlights from the NBA playoffs
The Celtics, improving the franchise's Game 7 record at home to 18-4, improved to 5-0 this postseason in games following a loss. Neither team could put two wins in a row together.
Boston advances to face the Heat in Miami on Monday to open the Eastern Conference finals. The Heat knocked Boston from the playoffs a year ago in five games but lost three of four to the Celtics during this regular season, although the stars for both teams were rested in the last.
"Let's do it!" was Garnett's response to facing the Heat, who will have Udonis Haslem back from suspension but still will be without Chris Bosh (abdominal strain), for the first game at the very least.
"Last year is in the past," Rondo said. "This year we're a totally different team. We feel we can beat Miami. We got to this point; there's no doubt in my mind we can. We've got to go down there and take care of business."
Rondo's sudden scoring late in the fourth quarter came a minute after the Celtics lost star forward Paul Pierce to a sixth foul.
"Rondo wants to run the team, and he's a great quarterback. But with Paul fouling out, he had to take charge of the team," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said.
Rondo said: "The shots I was usually making in the beginning I was missing. I made them in the fourth. It was a team effort tonight. We won like a team."
Rondo finished with 18 points, 10 assists and 10 rebounds, his ninth playoff triple-double, tied for fourth all-time with the late Wilt Chamberlain. Rondo is just the sixth player to hit for a triple-double in a Game 7. The last was Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook last postseason.
"Rondo came up with some huge plays to break the game open," 76ers coach Doug Collins said.
Rondo had 11 points in the fourth quarter, including his first three-pointer in five games, made all four of his free throws down the stretch and got his 10th rebound in the final minute.
"He really came through," Sixers guard Jrue Holiday said. "He put the team on his back."
All five Boston starters scored in double figures. Pierce had 15 points, Garnett 18 points and 13 rebounds, Allen contributing 11 points while still battling a bum ankle and Brandon Bass with 16 points.
The Celtics were without guard Avery Bradley, who is done for the rest of the playoffs after having shoulder surgery. Bradley had been a key part of the Celtics' defense. Without him, Allen move back into the starting lineup.
Andre Iguodala, with 18 points, led the eighth-seeded 76ers, who had knocked out the No. 1 Chicago Bulls in the first round and got the first Game 7 for many of their young players. Boston's Allen alone had played in seven Game 7s, to only three for all of the 76ers.
It was a defensive battle the entire game. The 76ers shot 35%, the Celtics, 43%.
"Defensively, it was a beautiful game for us. We took away the paint, more than before," Rivers said.
The Celtics jumped to a 6-0 lead, and it was 10-2 when Collins called a 76ers timeout. But they fought back and it was 20-20 after the first quarter.
Boston could never pull away from the 76ers in the first half. But then, neither team shot well the first 24 minutes: 39% for Philadelphia, including 1-for-6 from three-point range, 38% (0-for-8 on threes) for Boston.
A couple of Philly lapses down the stretch led to easy baskets and Boston led 41-33 at halftime. The Celtics had 16 points in the paint in all of the Game 6 loss; they had 18 at halftime, 28 for the game.
"It looked like the game was getting away from us, and every time you looked up, we were right there," Collins said.
"We made some early turnovers that hurt us. … But you look up at the end of the (first) quarter, it was 20-20. … We did a good job weathering that. But we just never could get over the top. Then Rondo took over the game the last four or five minutes."
The Celtics started 0-for-14 from three-point range, tying the NBA playoff record held by the 2008 Utah Jazz. That changed at 9:49 of the fourth quarter, when Allen came off a Garnett screen and hit a three-pointer for only his second made shot of the game and a 60-54 lead.
"Everybody in the league this time of year have different ailments. He's a shooter, we encouraged him to shoot," Garnett said of Allen battling a bad ankle. "When he finally got something down, we knew he was alright."
Allen's second three-pointer, with 5:46 left in the game, built Boston's lead to 69-61. But shortly after that Pierce committed his fifth foul, on Philadelphia's Iguodala, who hit his free throws to make it a 69-65 Philadelphia deficit.
Rivers, knowing he needed Pierce's scoring, kept the veteran forward in the game — and Pierce promptly responded with a banked jump shot.
But trying to defend on a pick-and-roll with 4:16 left, Pierce got called for his sixth foul and was done for the game. Pierce had fouled out only once during the regular season.
That left the scoring to Rondo and Garnett.
"Rondo down the stretch was huge," Rivers said.
"You know, Ray never could get it going, but he made a couple of big shots, obviously. We were kind of down to Rondo and Kevin, pick and roll. We had been running it before Paul went out, so we had a rhythm going."

Environmental Decision Memo for Food Contact Notification No. 000890
Return to inventory listing: Inventory of Environmental Impact Decisions for Food Contact Substance Notifications or the Inventory of Effective Food Contact Substance Notifications.
See also Environmental Decisions.
Date: June 18, 2009
From: Acting Supervisor, Environmental Review Team (ERT)
Office of Food Additive Safety (HFS-246)
Subject: FCN No. 890 – Hydrocarbons, C6-20, polymer, hydrogenated for use in polypropylene (PP) film to improve transparency and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) film to improve adhesive strength.
Notifier: Idemitsu Kosan Company, Ltd.
3-1-1 Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku
Tokyo 100-8321, Japan
To: Division of Food Contact Notifications (HFS-275)
Attention: Helen Lee, Ph.D.
Attached are the Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) and our supplement to the notifier's environmental assessment (EA) for FCN 890. After this notification becomes effective, the FONSI, our supplement, and the notifier's redacted EA, dated January 21, 2009, may be made available to the public, and we will post them on the internet where they can be accessed within the Food Ingredients and Packaging key topic under the Food link of www.fda.gov.
Please let us know if there is any change in the identity or use of the food contact substance.

Finding of No Significant Impact
Supplement to the Environmental Record for Food Contact Notification No. 890
Finding of No Significant Impact
A food contact notification (FCN No. 890), submitted by Idemitsu Kosan Company, Ltd., to provide for the safe use of hydrocarbons, C6-20, polymer, hydrogenated, for use as a miscible additive at a concentration not exceeding 20 percent by weight in polypropylene film to improve optical properties and as a tackifying resinous component of adhesive systems applied to ethylene vinyl acetate film to improve adhesion for heat sealed packaging at a concentration not to exceed 25 percent by weight of the finished film.
The Environmental Review Team has determined that allowing this notification to become effective will not significantly affect the quality of the human environment and, therefore, will not require the preparation of an environmental impact statement. This finding is based on information in the notification, including an environmental assessment, dated January 21, 2009, submitted by the notifier and other information known to the agency.

Supplement to the Environmental Record for Food Contact Notification No. 890
This document incorporates by reference the notifier's environmental assessment (EA), dated January 21, 2009.
The purposes of this supplement are to ensure the accuracy and completeness of the environmental record by clarifying some information in the EA and to assist the public in understanding the agency's basis for preparing a finding of no significant impact (FONSI) for the proposed use.
The EA is marked "Confidential" in the title line on the first page. The EA itself is not confidential, but the EA contained, in topic 6.b, specially marked information declared by the notifier to be confidential business information, which was used to support that topic's discussion. The notifier's explicitly declared confidential information is protected from public release, and thus only that specially marked information is excluded from being publically released in the EA.
In topic 6.b, the EA contained a characterization about the chemical composition of the food contact substance (FCS). The notifier stated that oxygen is an elemental component of the FCS and, furthermore, the combustion of articles using the FCS will produce sulfur dioxide. We clarify the discussion in the EA by noting particularly that the FCS is a saturated hydrocarbon, which, by definition, constrains the elemental composition only to hydrogen and carbon. Therefore, other chemical elements, such as oxygen and sulfur, do not define the composition of the FCS itself and, if present, are adventitious or trivial inclusions from concomitant impurities, residues, or other sources. Consequently, we believe that oxygen and sulfur, if present in impurities or residues concomitant with the FCS, do not pose a prominent introduction of combustion emissions into the environment and will not cause or threaten to cause violation of environmental air quality regulations controlling such combustion emissions.
Topic 10 of the EA was intended clearly to be about mitigation measures in the event that adverse environmental effects had been identified. No adverse effects were identified, and no mitigation measures needed to be discussed. The text of topic 10 was virtually repetitious with that found in topic 9. We believe that the duplication of the title for topic 10, "Use of resources and energy," with the properly titled topic 9 and the virtual repetition of the text contained in the two topics were unintended and did not present an impediment to forming the agency's final environmental decision—a FONSI.

Uma Ubud is located in the centre of Bali.The island is divided by a volcanic mountain chain which separates the quiet north, where the foothills fall into the Bali Sea, from the busy south, where fertile rice paddies slope gently down towards the Indian Ocean. At its heart lies Ubud, a small but lively town regarded as the island's cultural hub.
The hotel, occupying a three-hectare site, is hidden on the fringe of Ubud, overlooking the Tjampuhan Valley amid paddy fields carved out of hillsides, backed by coconut palms and banyan trees. The river Oos runs below; to one side stands a mountain. There is no sound of traffic. The town, where there are numerous shops, galleries and local restaurants, is a five-minute drive or 20-minute walk.
The landscaping of Uma Ubud, by Bali-based Trevor Hillier, refers to the village siteplans of island tradition. The heart of the hotel the lobby, 25 metre pool and bar is open, clean and simply designed. This contrasts with the narrow paths running between tall, lushly-planted walls that lead to rooms. All villas have small, walled, tropical gardens.

Vatican defends the right to kneel for Holy Communion...
"My children, kneel before your God in the Eucharist. Do not stand like you stand in meeting halls, but kneel and give Him a just love and observance of honor." - Our Lady of the Roses, July 14, 1979
The following responses to questions were published in the November-December 2002 edition of Notitiae, the official publication of the Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments. These responses represent the view of the Holy See on the questions of kneeling to receive Holy Communion and the right of Catholics to address concerns to the Holy See.
Congregation de Cultu Divino et Disciplina
Prot. n. 1322/02/L
Rome, 1 July 2002
Your Excellency,
This Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments has recently received reports of members of the faithful in your Diocese being refused Holy Communion unless while standing to receive, as opposed to kneeling. The reports state that such a policy has been announced to parishioners. There were possible indications that such a phenomenon might be somewhat more widespread in the Diocese, but the Congregation is unable to verify whether such is the case. This Dicastery is confident that Your Excellency will be in a position to make a more reliable determination of the matter, and these complaints in any event provide an occasion for the Congregation to communicate the manner in which it habitually addresses this matter, with a request that you make this position known to any priests who may be in need of being thus informed.
The Congregation in fact is concerned at the
number of similar complaints that it has received in recent months from
various places, and considers any refusal of Holy Communion to a member of the
faithful on the basis of his or her kneeling posture to be a grave violation
of one of the most basic rights of the Christian faithful, namely that of
being assisted by their Pastors by means of the Sacraments (Codex Iuris
Canonici, canon 213). In view of the law that "sacred ministers may not deny
the sacraments to those who opportunely ask for them, are properly disposed
and are not prohibited by law from receiving them" (canon 843 §1), there
should be no such refusal to any Catholic who presents himself for Holy
Communion at Mass, except in cases presenting a danger of grave scandal to
other believers arising out of the person's unrepented public sin or obstinate
heresy or schism, publicly professed or declared. Even where the
Congregation has approved of legislation denoting standing as the posture for
Holy Communion, in accordance with the adaptations permitted to the
Conferences of Bishops by the Institution Generalis Missalis Romani n. 160,
paragraph 2, it has done so with the stipulation that communicants who choose
to kneel are not to be denied Holy Communion on these grounds.
In fact, as His Eminence, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger has recently emphasized, the practice of kneeling for Holy Communion has in its favor a centuries-old tradition, and it is a particularly expressive sign of adoration, completely appropriate in light of the true, real and substantial presence of Our Lord Jesus Christ under the consecrated species.
Given the importance of this matter, the
Congregation would request that Your Excellency inquire specifically whether
this priest in fact has a regular practice of refusing Holy Communion to any
member of the faithful in the circumstances described above and - if the
complaint is verified - that you also firmly instruct him and any other
priests who may have had such a practice to refrain from acting thus in the
future. Priests should understand that the Congregation will regard future
complaints of this nature with great seriousness, and if they are verified, it
intends to seek disciplinary action consonant with the gravity of the pastoral
Thanking Your Excellency for your attention to this matter and relying on your kind collaboration in its regard,
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Jorge A. Cardinal Medina Estévez
+Francesco Pio Tamburrino
Archbishop Secretary
Dear Sir,
This Congregation for Divine Worship gratefully acknowledges receipt of your letter, regarding an announced policy of denial of Holy Communion to those who kneel to receive it at a certain church.
It is troubling that you seem to express some
reservations about both the propriety and the usefulness of addressing the
Holy See regarding this matter. Canon 212
§2 of the Code of Canon Law states that
"Christ's faithful are totally free to make known their needs, especially
their spiritual ones, and their desire: to the Pastor of the Church". The
canon then continues in 3: "According to their own knowledge competence and
position, they have the right, and indeed sometimes the duty, to present to
the sacred Pastor; their opinions regarding those things that pertain to the
good of the Church".... Accordingly, in consideration of the nature of the
problem and the relative likelihood that it might or might not be resolved on
the local level, every member of the faithful has the right of recourse to the
Roman Pontiff either personally or by means of the Dicasteries or Tribunals of
the Roman Curia.
Another fundamental right of the faithful, as noted in canon 213, is "the right to receive assistance by the sacred Pastors from the spiritual goods of the Church, especially the word of God and the Sacraments". In view of the law that "sacred" ministers may not deny the sacraments to those who opportunely ask for them, are properly disposed and are not prohibited by law from receiving them" (canon 843 §1), there should be no such refusal to any Catholic who presents himself for Holy Communion at Mass, except in cases presenting a danger of grave scandal to other believers arising out of the person's unrepented public sin or obstinate heresy or schism, publicly professed or declared. Even where the Congregation has approved of legislation denoting standing as the posture for Holy Communion, in accordance with the adaptations permitted to the Conferences of Bishops by the Institution Generalis Missalis Romani n. 160, paragraph 2, it has done so with the stipulation that communicants who choose to kneel are not to be denied Holy Communion on these grounds.
Please be assured that the Congregation takes this matter very seriously, and is making the necessary contacts in its regard. At the same time, this Dicastery continues to be ready to be of assistance if you should need to contact it again in the future.
Thanking you for your interest, and with every prayerful good wish, I am
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Monsignor Mario Marini
Have you been refused Holy Communion when you knelt? Report the incident to the Vatican's Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments:
"The United States of America heads fast to a schism. Fight, My children; do not give in to the forces of evil. Fight the enemy with prayer." - Our Lady of the Roses, May 29, 1976
The amazing Bayside prophecies…
"Why must you insult My Son? Can you not bend your knees? Is He not your King?" - Our Lady, November 21, 1970
"Remember, My child, shout it from the roof. My Son is with you until the end of your time. It is truly His Presence, His Real Presence, His divine Presence, His Body and His Blood. Do not treat Him with disrespect! Bow your knees; cover your head! Do not chew Him!" - Our Lady, June 8, 1974
"You violate your sacred trust. You have taken the Body of your Creator, the Son of your God in the Trinity, and violated Him. You must do your eating at home! When you come to the great Sacrifice, the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, you come in reverence. You must go down upon your knees and do penance now for the offenses to your God! ...
"As in the past, cannot you recognize the mystery of Heaven and earth? Did not the staff of Moses turn into a serpent in the will of God? Did not the river in Egypt turn into blood in the will of God? And cannot God, in His will, come to you changing the bread and wine into the actual Presence, the real Presence, the factual Presence of His Body and Blood?" - St. Michael, February 1, 1977
"All honor must be given to My Son in the Eucharist. Man must kneel. My Son's House is the House of God and a house of prayer, and it must not be turned into a meeting hall." - Our Lady, July 25, 1979
"In the beginning I gave to you, through your prophets, the establishment of My Church upon earth. The rules were simple but now have become changed and defiled to please the carnal nature of mankind. You must restore the holiness to My House! You must bend your knees in humility and penance." - Jesus, December 31, 1975
"I have asked you to get down on your knees. Clergy in My Son's House, His Church, restore the altar railings, that man may be on his knees. For many shall crawl on their knees in desperation seeking to flee, but nowhere shall they escape the flames. Restore My Son's Church while there is time. Return the railings! Have the people make atonement upon their knees to their God!" - Our Lady, May 30, 1981
