On-going discussions with Russian Federation on ban of EU pig meat - Statement by Health Commissioner, Tonio Borg
"Following the confirmation of 2 cases of African swine fever in wild boar in Lithuania on Friday 24th January, interim protective measures have been swiftly adopted by the Commission to regionalise the infected area within Lithuania. On the basis of this decision, the Lithuanian authorities immediately applied all restrictions required by EU legislation. The Commission has deployed since Monday 28th January, a team of veterinary experts to assist and advise the Lithuanian authorities. This team has been joined by Russian and Belarussian experts and experts from the World Organisation for Animal Health. It appears that the virus in Lithuania originates from neighbouring non-EU countries where the disease was not contained. At the same time, the Commission has been in constant contact with the Russian authorities over the past days to apply "regionalization" in accordance with WTO/SPS rules and World Organisation for Animal Health principles. In this framework, the Commission has proposed to provisionally exclude the infected area of the EU from certification of exports of live pigs and pork to Russia, but Russia is not ready to accept. Yesterday, the Russian authorities were again given assurances on the effectiveness of EU measures and provided with evidence indicating that the disease is confined to the southern part of Lithuania. I would like to stress that the measures taken on the EU side correspond to international standards. I call again upon the Russian authorities to take into account all the evidence presented to them, including the results of the on the spot inspections. I will today resubmit our proposal on regionalisation. I deeply regret that our Russian partners are effectively banning exports even from EU Member States which are clearly not affected by the incident. The Commission reiterates that in view of the reassurances provided, such a ban is disproportionate. I intend to meet the Russian authorities as soon as possible to agree on a reasonable solution to solve this problem."

Mergers: Commission continues investigation of Telefónica Deutschland / E-Plus merger without referral to Germany
The European Commission has rejected a request from Germany to refer the planned acquisition of E-Plus by Telefónica Deutschland (Telefónica) to the German competition authority for assessment under German competition law. The Commission concluded that it was better placed to deal with the case because of its experience in assessing mergers in the mobile telecommunications sector and the need for a consistent application of the merger control rules in the EU. The Commission has until 14 May 2014 to take a final decision.
Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of joint control over Broadgate by GIC Realty and British Land
The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of joint control over Bluebutton Properties Limited ("Broadgate") by GIC (Realty) Private Limited ("GIC Realty") and The British Land Company plc ("British Land"). GIC Realty is the holding company for real estate investments made on behalf of the Government of Singapore, while British Land is a British company owning and managing a portfolio of commercial properties. Broadgate in turn consists of a complex of buildings in London. The Commission assessed the effects of the proposed transaction on the markets for real estate and concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns given the limited market shares of the merged entity. The operation was examined under the simplified merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website in the public case register under the case number M.7110.
Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of joint control over TNT Post UK by Lloyds Banking Group alongside current parent PostNL
The European Commission has cleared under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of joint control over TNT NN1 Limited ("TNT Post UK") by Lloyds Banking Group plc ("Lloyds") and PostNL NV. Lloyds is a British private equity fund. PostNL is a mail, parcels and support services provider mainly active in the Netherlands. TNT Post UK is a British mail services provider, which focuses mainly on business customers. The Commission assessed the effects of the proposed transaction on the markets for mail services in the United Kingdom and on the markets for cross-border delivery of mail to or from the United Kingdom, where each of TNT Post UK and respectively G3 Worldwide Mail (UK) Ltd ("Spring") in which PostNL has a controlling interest are active. Lloyds is not active in any of these markets. The Commission concluded that the transaction would not raise competition concerns given the limited market shares of the merged entity. In any event, the actual or potential commercial relationships between the parties predate the entry of Lloyds as a controlling shareholder in TNT Post UK, and therefore there is no change in the market structure on any of these mail delivery markets. The operation was examined under the normal merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website in the public case register under the case number M.7052 .
Mergers: Commission clears creation of JV between Vestas and MHI
The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the creation of a joint venture by Vestas Wind Systems A/S of Denmark and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. of Japan. Vestas is active in the manufacturing, supply and servicing of wind turbine generators, both onshore and offshore. MHI is engaged in the businesses of shipbuilding and ocean development, power systems, nuclear energy systems, machinery and steel infrastructure systems, aerospace systems, and medium-volume mass production items. The JV will be active in the supply of offshore wind turbines. The Commission concluded that the proposed acquisition would not raise competition concerns, in particular because there are only minimal overlaps between the activities carried out by the parties. The transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.7063 .
Mergers: Commission clears acquisition of UNIT4 by Advent
The European Commission has approved under the EU Merger Regulation the acquisition of UNIT4 N.V. (UNIT4) of the Netherlands, by Advent International Corporation (Advent), of the United States. UNIT4 is active in the provision of business software solutions and IT services across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific and Africa. Advent is a private equity fund. KMD, a portfolio company of Advent, is active in IT services in Denmark. The Commission concluded that the transaction would not raise any competition concerns in the provision of business software in the European Economic Area (EEA) given the low combined market shares of UNIT4 and KMD. The Commission also concluded that the transaction would not raise any competition concerns in the provision of IT services in Denmark, given the negligible activities of UNIT4 in this market. The transaction was examined under the simplified merger review procedure. More information is available on the Commission's competition website, in the public case register under the case number M.7125 .

Aviation security: First step towards easing liquid restrictions at EU airports
Starting 31 January 2014, there will be a first step towards easing the current liquids restrictions at EU airports. Most passengers who fly will notice no change at all, but in fact airports will be obliged to screen certain liquids at passenger security checkpoints. This first step is deliberately targeted at a very limited number of liquids so as to minimise any possible disruption. For passengers, the change concerns duty-free liquids bought at airports outside the EU, or onboard non-EU air carriers. Provided these duty-free liquids are packed in the security bag issued at the time of purchase, passengers may transfer with it at an EU airport onto a connecting flight. Until now, such duty-free liquids, as a general rule, have been confiscated. For example, at the moment, if a passenger buys a bottle of duty-free whiskey in Hong Kong and flies to Helsinki, before transferring to Brussels, the duty-free whiskey would normally be confiscated at Helsinki, as the EU cannot determine whether it comes from a secure source. From 31 Jan 2014, provided the duty-free is sealed in a security bag, that will not happen. The bottle of duty-free whiskey bought in Hong Kong will be screened at the passenger security checkpoint at Helsinki, as the passenger transfers to board a flight for Brussels. The change enhances security and makes it more convenient and simpler. This is a very important step towards the removal of all liquid restrictions in the future. Moreover, it enhances the level of security since it is the start of mandatory screening of liquids in the EU. If this first phase is successful, then based on the experience gained, further liquids may qualify for screening, with a view to ending all liquid restrictions by 2016.
EU to announce new support for security and elections in the Central African Republic
The European Commission stands ready to give new support in the range of €25 million to the support mission in the Central African Republic led by the African Union (known as MISCA). The EU also stands ready to support the electoral process in the CAR with around €20 million. This new support will go towards putting in place voter registration, electoral operations (such as printing ballot papers, providing training, equipment and staff, as well as voter education) and involving civil society groups as domestic observers. Ahead of a donors' conference in Addis Ababa (Ethiopia) to mobilise resources for MISCA, EU Commissioner for Development Andris Piebalgs, said: "This new funding will bring the EU's total commitments to the Central African Republic since the beginning of the crisis to around €200 million – a clear indication that we are mobilising all available resources, not just development aid, to help the people of the Central African Republic and improve their security, in a situation that has been getting worse for more than a year now", Commissioner Piebalgs said.
Flash estimate - January 2014 - Euro area annual inflation down to 0.7%
Euro area annual inflation is expected to be 0.7% in January 2014, down from 0.8% in December 2013, according to a flash estimate from Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union. Looking at the main components of euro area inflation, food, alcohol & tobacco is expected to have the highest annual rate in January (1.7%, compared with 1.8% in December), followed by services (1.1%, compared with 1.0% in December), non-energy industrial goods (0.2%, compared with 0.3% in December) and energy (-1.2%, compared with 0.0% in December).

Bad Boy Redux
Mel Lastman, 74, loves the glare of the spotlight. He built Bad Boy Furniture into a chain of 30 Toronto stores, in part by staging outlandish publicity stunts. In 1975, after 20 years in business, he sold Bad Boy to go into politics, eventually serving as mayor of Toronto from 1997 to 2003. He's back as chairman of Lastman's Bad Boy Furniture, which his son Blayne revived in 1991. Revenues for the six-store Ontario chain were about $50 million last year.
I was 22 when I opened my first store. But people weren't coming in. So in 1955 I traded my car for a truck and loaded it with appliances. When I saw an ice truck go by [to restock iceboxes], I followed it. Wherever it went, I went. I would go to the people who got deliveries and try to sell them a refrigerator on layaway for about the same cost as they were paying for ice—$8 a week.
The key was personalized service, and I offered it to the extreme. I opened my store just after Hurricane Hazel hit. People were being put up in trailers, and the government gave them a chance to buy homes for $1,000 down. That meant they would need appliances. I knocked on the door of each trailer and then would have people introduce me to their neighbors.
The real buzz began in 1959, when I started selling $2 for $1. It was a publicity thing. I even went to Times Square in New York and sold two Canadian dollars for one U.S. dollar. The police came and detained me for a few hours. From there, I flew to Rome and did the same thing in a piazza, selling 1,000 lira for 500 lira. Italians mobbed me. The publicity was unbelievable—magazines, television, radio. I couldn't afford any advertising at the time, but each of those promotions was worth more than $100,000 in free advertising.
Once I was flying to Amsterdam and looked out of the plane to see the Arctic. That's when I got the idea to sell a refrigerator there. We had an Eskimo build an igloo. Then we put a refrigerator on a dogsled and brought it to him. He gave us two dead fish and a fur. That picture was in the Guinness Book of World Records.
I went into politics because I didn't like the way people were spending the public's money. Who cared about regular people? I didn't expect to win. My point was that politicians spend money and do nothing. But I won, as controller. I didn't know what a controller did, but I was so successful at bringing out issues that I later was elected mayor.
When my son wanted to start the business again, I didn't think it was a good idea. I thought back to all the other stores that went out of business and never came back. But he did it. My wife, Marilyn, and I were in Florida, trying to think of something that would help him. We came up with "Nooobody," as in "Who does it better? Nooobody!" His advertising person didn't like the slogan, but the public loved it. We did one commercial with a guy dressed up as Bill Clinton. The White House sent a cease-and-desist letter to Bad Boy. It was very funny.
Now I mostly help with advertising, and I go on the floor in stores once or twice a week. It's important for anyone who does the buying to also know how to do the selling. When you walk into Bad Boy, the stores are jammed. The fever is there. The fun is there. There are balloons. It's an experience. We even have little Bad Boys on a key chain that say "Nooobody" when you press their stomachs. You get all these kids running around the store, yelling "Nooobody!" I feel great being back. I'm having the time of my life.
As told to Diane Brady

Elliot Lavine is known around San Francisco as the programmer of the famous Roxie Theater from 1990 until 2003 and curator of many local film festivals featuring the best in classic cinema. But before he was programming festivals of film noir, he was making shorts based on the work he loved.
Today's short film showcase presents two noir-influened shorts he made in the early '80s. Both are nifty pieces of work that would have been quite at home in an episode of "Night Flight," and should make for an appropriate way to pass a half hour on a chilly day like today.
1981's BLIND ALLEY, the botched robbery of the payroll out of a meat packing planet leads the thief in a world of paranoia, and the partner he left behind won't leave well enough alone.
In 1982's THE TWISTED CORRIDOR, John X. Heart plays an office worked compounded by strange dreams of a man he's never met, taking him on a delirious journey that costs him quite a bit.
While BLIND ALLEY and THE TWISTED CORRIDOR were the only two noir shorts Lavine made, he did create a short trailer for a conceptual feature called BLACK FURY in 1987. The results are more '80s-influenced than the noir duo, but it still shows Lavine's love for the world of desperation and pathos made beautiful by B&W cinematography.

SAX Lounge & Restaurant Preview Party
Andrew Stover SAX Director of Wine Marketing and Lori
By Punch Passport Correspondent Lori González Lazzarini
Last night I went to SAX Lounge & Restaurant preview party. I decided to wear a really vibrant and colorful outfit because everything that I had heard about SAX so far via Twitter, Facebook, and press releases were associated with the words: scandalous, provocative, and ostentatious. So since I never want to feel left out, I choose to wear on an orange colored outfit.
A live performance
provocative paintings abound …
SAX is located at 734 11th St. NW, so I decided to walk there because that is how close SAX is from my apartment, like a five minute walk. Meanwhile, on my way to SAX I'm thinking this closeness could turn out to be dangerous if I really like this place, if you know what I mean. Particularly when the lounge will open seven days a week, but by reservation only.
Finally, I arrived at SAX and I'm not sure if I can be able to find the perfect words to describe my feelings towards SAX. It was like how love at first sight must feel. Just by the look of the entrance, I felt kind of how Renee Zellweger felt with Tom Cruise speech in "Jerry Maguire†when she told him "You had me at hello.â€Â Well, "SAX had me at the door.â€
a booth
Designed by Maggie O'Neill of O'Neill Studios, SAX is unlike any other places I have ever been before, and I've been to a few places. It was like not being in Washington. Provocative doesn't even begin to define it. You need to imagine a place that combines sensuality, outrageousness, and grandiose and multiply it by ten.  I loved it! It was kinda my dream/fantasy to be in a place that resembles "Fangtasia†the vampires nightclub from the TV series True Blood, and SAX made it come true.
The interior is amazing: shocking paintings, beautiful red couches that were extremely comfy, breathtaking chandeliers. It was unreal. The main bar is located right underneath the 20-foot enclosed infinity stage in which erotic and magnificent performances were showing all night, almost every 15 minutes. One of the things that I loved the most was that from anywhere you position yourself inside SAX, first or second floor, seating or standing, you could enjoy the view of the live performances in the stage.  Believe me I checked.
another provocative painting
The glamorous attendants were passing out samples of SAX's dinner menu all night.  SAX's menu is modern French-influenced, and consists of satisfying small plates meant to be enjoyed without utensils, of which I ate., I'm pretty sure that almost all the menu, and was fascinated by all. The drinks were out of this world delicious and I'm also pretty sure I tried every drink in the menu.
So by this point my bff Eduardo and I were hypnotized by the riveting view of the costumed cabaret performers and feeling very atone with the whole SAX package of ambiance, lavish exclusiveness, and hotness. And then, we had the opportunity to meet Andrew Stover, SAX's Sommelier, which quickly served us two glasses of SEX. Yes, you read it right! I drank SEX last night at SAX, which is some sort of luscious champagne that you can only properly enjoy when drinking it at SAX.
SAX its opening its doors tomorrow, Friday, May 13th, and if I were you I would make reservations ASAP, because this is the one place in DC that you really don't want to miss.
P.S. On Sunday evenings, the entertainment will cater to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community.

You've probably noticed the latest trend in remodeling: transform your bathroom into a resort, a spa, or a personal retreat. What was once just a practical space in the house has now become a place of relaxation and leisure. It's true: renovating your bathroom will make you want to spend more time there, but on a more pragmatic note, it will also help your home's resale value. But what if you have a small bathroom? How can you turn a tiny enclosed area into an open-air sanctuary, and how can you do it under an even smaller budget? Well, here are a few quick tips that will help trick the eye:
1. Light and Mirrors
Like a magic trick, a great way to make small area look large is to simply create the illusion of space. Remove hanging light fixtures and install recessed lighting or wall sconces. Install mirrors that face each other to create a hall-of-mirrors effect. By bouncing the light and images around a room, your bathroom will grow in size and give the impression of space without removing any walls.
2. Look! Up in the Sky!
If you keep people looking upward, any enclosed space will look bigger. A simple way to do this is with striped wallpaper, which can elongate the room. Also, a tall, skinny shower door will direct people's eyes to the ceiling, making your bathroom feel taller and wider as well. Installing a skylight could also help make a small room feel infinitely bigger.
3. Don't Chop It Up
People tend to make small areas feel even smaller by blocking it off into sections. This would work well in large spaces, but in smaller areas you can't afford to not utilize all your space. Therefore, don't buy a curtain that closes off your tub: it literally cuts a room in half. Instead, buy a glass shower door that will open things up. Plus, if you buy a shower door that is frameless, there won't be any delineating lines and edges that tend to chop up a space.
4. Let's See It All—Almost
Let the room breathe. The only way to relieve the burden of a tight space is to make everything visible and let every inch of the room come into focus. You can't hide anything anyway, so embrace the idea. But be judicious: consider a few candles around your tub, or a small, decorative towel hanging from a hook. Since there isn't enough room to decorate haphazardly, make sure you organize. Use a bath caddy. Occupy every corner of your cabinet to relieve the counter of clutter. Or, buy a medicine cabinet to hide away your things while still exuding an exposed appearance.
5. More Floor
You never leave towels on the ground. You pick up your clothes when you're done with the tub. So why leave other items lying around on the floor? Whether you have carpet or tile, covering up your floor can make a room feel smaller. Get rid of the magazine rack by the toilet. There is no room for flower pots or plungers to be just sitting around doing nothing. Why is that bathmat sitting in front of the shower door? Be severe and relentless about removing any clutter because any extra square footage (or maybe even inch-age) helps to open up a small space into something bigger. And the bigger a particular area grows, the more relaxing and livable your entire house becomes.

VA officials are establishing procedures for family members to locate inpatients evacuated from the affected facilities. Officials are also finalizing procedures for veterans from the hurricane area to receive benefits checks and prescription drugs, and to ensure that VA employees continue to be paid.
"VA health care professionals from across the country are volunteering to care for our evacuees," Nicholson said. "We are moving quickly to ensure our veterans can continue to receive their regular health care and other benefits."
The volunteer corps of VA has assisted veterans for nearly 60 years, and Nicholson said people wishing to help should contact their nearest VA facility and ask for the Voluntary Service Office.

Actors Chris Pine and Macaulay Culkin both turn 34 today, and even though most of us probably thought the kid we all remember from Home Alone was much younger than the man who breathed new life into the role of Captain Kirk, we would be wrong.
There are a lot of different factors that play a role in our ability to guess the ages of movie stars. Sometimes, it's the age range of the characters they play (often much younger) or the age of the people they start relationships with (often much younger, as well), their (perceived) maturity level and gravitas, or just the natural complexion and physical vitality they had from birth (and/or make-up).
However, we are usually super, incredibly wrong. Here are some other stars who you would likely never guess were actually the same age…

Lost: Amazing Scientific Achievements of the Ancient World
This article originally appeared as part of SSA eNews No. 14 - Challenges & Opportunities.
Richard Carrier, the author of Sense and Goodness Without God, has just started his own blog. His second post is about the Antikythera Machine--a 1st century BC computer used to calculate the future positions of the sun and the moon. Sounds thrilling, right? Well, of course it's the context that makes it interesting. The computer was likely built by Posidonius, an ancient philosopher who calculated the distance to the sun, size of the sun and size of the Earth to a level of accuracy that wouldn't be improved upon until modern times. None of his writings survive today.
About this loss, Richard Writes:
"Posidonius was widely regarded in his own day, and still by knowing scholars now, as one of the greatest scientists and most influential philosophers of the Roman era. I can't tell you how often I run into this tragic loss in my study of the ancient world. Medieval Christians genuinely deserve condemnation for tossing great work like this in the garbage and instead exhausting their resources on copying tons of inane religious literature. "
It is for reasons like this that the ideals of scientific and critical inquiry, secularism, and human based ethics matter. Just as laws do not enforce themselves, knowledge does not preserve itself. We humans carry that burden.
We also look forward to more engaging posts from this promising young scholar.

in situ testing with existing floor covering. | 13 Feb 17
20:36:41 by wilcoxp | Views: 1226 | Comments: 1
if i am going to perform in situ moisture testing in a slab that is currently covered with vct or any other floor covering for that matter, hasn't the moisture in the slab reached equilibrium, and if so, does it matter what depth the probe is installed? In other words, 40% depth on a slab drying from one side will give you potential equilibrium when the slab is covered, so what about testing a slab that is already covered and has been for some time?...

If a male partner has inflammatory bowel disease and is planning on parenting a child, what is the best choice of medications for him, Remicade (infliximab) or 6-MP, if given the choice?
Remicade is a classified by the FDA as a class B drug for pregnancy, meaning it is likely to be safe for men and women to take. 6-mercaptopurine, on the other hand, is a class D drug, meaning that it should only be taken when the benefits to the mother far outweigh the risks to the baby. There have been no controlled studies in men, but 6-mercaptopurine is not likely to be harmful to the baby. So either drug is reasonable, but Remicade is slightly preferred.

I have never in my 20 years of life heard my mother fart before. The other day I was at my grandmothers and i HAD to let one rip so I did and my grannie looked at me and goes "You know, I have never heard your mom break a tater before!"
I don't think i've ever heard my stepmom tear one either.
What about you?

Concrete In Australia : September 2009
Concrete in Australia Vol 35 No 3 27 A two tiered approach is proposed for the development length of a deformed bar in tension. In any situation, a designer may adopt the simpler lower tier approach of Clause 220.127.116.11 and specify the development length (Lsy.t) as the basic development length (Lsy.tb) given in Eq. 18.104.22.168. Alternatively, in situations where the beneficial effects of transverse reinforcement and/or transverse confining pressure exist along the development length, the designer may opt for the refined upper tier approach of Clause 126.96.36.199. e expression for the basic development length given in Eq. 184.108.40.206 is significantly different to the expression in AS3600-2001 and has been calibrated to provide an appropriate factor of safety against bond failure at a developing bar. A wide range of test data was used in the calibration. When specifying the development length using Eq. 188.8.131.52 there is no need to consider or include a strength reduction factor (φ) as an appropriate strength reduction factor has been incorporated into the expression. Unlike the previous expression in AS3600-2001, the new expression for the basic development length provides development lengths that have an adequate and consistent factor of safety against brittle bond failure and that are compatible with the development lengths specified in the other major international Standards including ACI 318-08 (American Concrete Institute, 2008) and Eurocode 2 (European Committee for Standardisation [CEN], 2004). e factor k1 in Eq. 18.104.22.168 (and Eq. 2 above) accounts for the position of the bar in the structure and increases the development length for bars with more than 300 mm of concrete cast below the bar (such as the top bars in a beam or thick slab). Such bars may be subjected to a reduction in bond strength due to settlement of fresh concrete below the bar and an accumulation of bleed water. Both effects occur along the underside of the bar. e factor applies only to horizontal bars in slabs, walls, beams and footings; it does not apply to sloping or vertical bars, to fabric, or to fitments. ere is a step increase in the value of k1 when the depth of concrete cast below the bar reaches 300 mm (ie. the value jumps from 1.0 to 1.3). ere is evidence that bond loss can occur with even shallower concrete depths and it may be prudent to linearly vary k1 from 1.0, when the depth of concrete cast below the bar is less than or equal 200 mm, to 1.3 when the depth is 300 mm (or more). e factor k2 accounts for the reduction in the average ultimate bond stress as the diameter of the reinforcing bar increases and varies linearly fromk2=1.2whendb=12mmtok2=0.92whendb=40mm. e factor k3 accounts for the confining effect of the concrete surrounding the bar and depends on the concrete cover to the anchored bar (c1 or c in FIGURE 13.1.2(A)) or the clear distance to the next parallel bar (a in FIGURE 13.1.2(A)). e dimension cd is used in the expression for k3, where cd is the thickness of the appropriate concrete ring surrounding the development length shown in Figure 3 (cd is the smaller of the side cover, c1, the cover to the soffit (or top) surface, c, or half the clear distance to the next parallel bar, a/2). When cd is less than or equal to the bar diameter, k3 = 1.0. When cd is greater than or equal to twice the bar diameter, k3 = 0.7. When cd is between db and 2db , k3 varies linearly between 1.0 and 0.7. e average ultimate bond stress is directly related to the tensile strength of concrete, which is taken in the Standard to be proportional to ¢fc and, hence, the term ¢fc is included in Eq. 126.96.36.199. Due to the very limited experimental data available for development lengths of deformed bars in high strength concrete, an upper limit of 65 MPa has been placed on the concrete strength. e minimum value of Lsy.tb (29 k1db) is applicable to a steel yield stress of 500 MPa and is based on the formula 0.058db fsy from AS1480, (1982) and Ferguson (1988). Due to the reduced average ultimate bond stress, the development length for an epoxy-coated bar is significantly longer than for an uncoated bar and, accordingly, Lsy.tb shall be multiplied by 1.5 for epoxy-coated bars. e tensile strength of lightweight concrete is significantly less than for normal weight concrete and so the average ultimate bond stress is also lower. e standard specifies that the basic development length shall be multiplied by 1.3 when lightweight concrete is used and when the structural element containing the deformed bar is built with slip forms. Refined Development Length In situations where there is significant transverse reinforcement along the development length or where there is transverse pressure, the average ultimate bond stress increases and a reduced development length may be possible by multiplying the basic development length Lsy.tb (obtained from Eq. 184.108.40.206) by two factors, k4 and k5. e factor k4 (= 1.0 -- Kλ) accounts for the presence of transverse reinforcement and is equal to 1.0 when there is no transverse reinforcement and may reduce to a minimum value of 0.7 depending on the amount and location of the transverse reinforcement. e term λ depends on the total cross-sectional area of transverse reinforcement along the basic development length (ΣAtr), as well as the cross-sectional area of the single anchored bar being developed (As) and is given by λ = (ΣAtr ΣAtr.min)/As, where ΣAtr.min is the Figure 3.

Little Falls boys soccer vs. Becker photo gallery
There were a couple of brief minutes when it looked like visiting Becker might be able to upset Little Falls in Thursday's first-round Sub-Section 8A South match.
But then the Flyers tied it.
And took the lead.
And added on.
After Becker snuck in the game's opening goal just 2:25 into play, Little Falls answered with four goals in less than eight minutes, including three in a span of 2:02 en route to a 5-2 victory.
Little Falls will now advance to take on the South's top-seeded Sartell-St. Stephen, which received a bye past the first round. That match will take place Saturday at noon in Sartell.
Senior Tim Infinger scored the first goal for Little Falls, breaking free in the open field off of a throw from junior Thomas Bell and sliding a shot past the keeper to tie the score at 1-1.
Senior Tucker Brastad then put the Flyers ahead on a penalty kick after being taking down inside the box, sinking a shot inside the left side of the net.
With a surge of momentum behind them, Little Falls added two more goals 32 seconds apart, as Bell blasted a loose ball near the edge of the box into the net, then Infinger picked up his second goal on a line drive shot.
The action settled down after that, with the score holding at 4-1 deep into the second half.
Becker regained a glimmer of hope with a goal off of a free kick with 4:01 remaining, but those hopes were quickly dashed when eighth-grader Sam Beam scored off of his own rebound with 2:14 to play.

The "Middle-Risk Gap" and Financial System Reform: Small-Firm Financing in Japan
This paper addresses the puzzling existence and persistence of a pronounced "middle-risk gap" in Japan's interest rate structure, which reflects an underdeveloped and distorted market for small-firm finance. The paper shows that a confluence of systemic reasons (including a shift away from the former reliance on real estate collateral, social constraints on bank strategies, bank capital adequacy constraints, and an underdeveloped market for securitized debt) and political pressure on banks have inhibited private bank activity in the middle market and necessitated specialized banks for small-firm financing. A second concern is the overall low level of the loan interest rate structure. The paper argues that the Japanese governments small-firm loan programs at greatly subsidized rates have depressed loan rates and exacerbated the middle- risk gap, creating great impediments to banking reforms. However, these subsidized small-firm loans are best understood as welfare, and while they are market-distorting they cannot simply be abolished without a substitute. The middle-risk gap is both a strong indicator of, and an important reason for, the slow course of financial system reform in Japan. Successful reforms toward a greater market orientation in Japanese banking must begin with the interest rate structure.
