This week, health care professionals and scientists from around the world met in Vancouver to present the latest cutting-edge research on Alzheimer's disease for the annual Alzheimer's Association International Conference. There was a lot of buzz about new studies, including drug advancements that could be potential treatments in the future. But for the average patient with Alzheimer's, or for their caregivers, it's easy to get lost in the abundance of abstracts and scientific minutia.
The ravages of the disease -- memory loss, mood swings, depression and poor judgment, to name just a few -- not only affect the 5.4 million Americans with Alzheimer's but also the 15 million-plus unpaid men and women who care for them. Symptoms of the disease can manifest themselves differently in each patient, but ultimately most people living with Alzheimer's will end up unable to function independently. They will have to rely on spouses, siblings, children, friends, neighbors or paid professionals for help.
"Alzheimer's disease is really difficult for everybody, and families can really struggle," said Beth Kallmyer, vice president of constituent services at the Alzheimer's Association.
If you're a caregiver for someone with Alzheimer's, how can you use the information from the conference? Here are some takeaway messages:
The power of engagement
Mental and social stimulation are key for someone dealing with an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Experts have known for a while that remaining engaged in hobbies or social activities can fend off feelings of isolation and depression, both of which can further the disease's progression.
One new study presented at the conference takes this knowledge a step further. Led by Dr. Jeffrey Kaye, researchers at Oregon Health & Science University tracked the amount of time 148 patients with mild cognitive impairment and with an average age of 84 spent outside their homes during a period upward of three years from when their activities were initially measured. Mild cognitive impairment increases a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's but does not guarantee someone will get the disease.
In the abstract, researchers found that participants with mild cognitive impairment "had a greater decline in time out of home over time compared to cognitively intact patients." Put another way, the people who were cognitively impaired eventually spent more time in their homes than the other participants did. More time at home translates to less outside stimulation, and presumably, more isolation and depression.
For caregivers, this means two things. First, it's vital that a loved one's engagement in hobbies, social events, projects or community activities does not wane once he or she is diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, Alzheimer's or any type of dementia. Second, if a loved one becomes withdrawn or starts to spend less time interacting in ways than he or she used to, it may be a sign of a larger problem.
"This study shows the importance -- from the very beginning of someone's diagnosis -- of staying engaged," Kallmyer said. "It really makes a difference in their cognition and therefore their quality of life.
Resistance training can improve cognition
Exercise is one of the more promising things people at risk of developing dementia, or who have been diagnosed with it, can do to affect their cognition. But research presented at the conference suggests that not all exercise is created equal for maximum benefit in Alzheimer's patients.
Lindsay Nagamatsu of the University of British Columbia and her team conducted a randomized, controlled trial comparing the effects of resistance training, aerobic activity and balance-and-tone training on cognition. Eighty-six women between the ages of 70 and 80 were divided into three groups -- one for each type of exercise -- and they worked out twice a week for six months.
The women who had resistance training showed the greatest improvement on cognitive tests. Plus, the study found that resistance training "led to functional changes in three regions of cortex involved in the encoding and memorization of nonverbal associations."
Aerobic exercise improved the women's balance and mobility and had a greater effect on their cardiovascular health.
"What that translates to for caregivers is that if a person doesn't have an exercise program, this is something to look in to," Kallmyer said.
"Exercise program" can sound daunting, but Kallmyer said that even daily walks can help. It's as much about the physical benefit of exercise as it is about the structure it provides.
"It will make them feel less overwhelmed," Kallmyer said. "If a person gets exercise, we know exercise may help them sleep better. The longer that patients can maintain that ability (to do things for themselves), the better for them, their self-esteem and their caregivers."
Alcohol and dementia don't mix
How alcohol affects the cognition of a person with dementia isn't completely understood, but four new studies presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference shed a little more light on their relationship.
One study looked at binge drinking (defined as four or more drinks on one occasion) and followed more than 5,000 people ages 65 and older for eight years.

As a Die Hard fan, I'll be the first to admit the whatever-ilogy has been inconsistent.
The second, Die Hard 2: Die Harder was so bad, it's a wonder anymore were even made.
Maybe it was just a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder—although I think it was more a matter of my eyes needing a break from all the CGI-fakery going around these days—but the fourth installment, 2007's Live Free or Die Hard, was such a treat.
While the John McLane-takes-on-a-U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II did strain my fairly easy-to-lift suspension on reality, it had the delightful repartee and solid chemestry between Bruce Willis' McLane and Justin Long's Matt Ferrell.
- Edwards Kaleidoscope Stadium 10: 12:00 12:30 2:25 2:55 4:50 5:15 7:10 7:45 9:30 10:10 p.m.
- The Regency San Juan:

- Edwards Aliso Viejo Stadium 20:
12:30 1:00 3:00 3:40 5:30 6:30 8:00 9:00 10:30p.m.
Sadly, McLane and Ferrell seemed more like father and son than the actual father and son duo in A Good Day to Die Hard, which is based in a very not-so-post Soviet Russia. I haven't been to Russia since 1997, so maybe the portrayal was accurate. Or maybe in Hollywoodland, Russians are always evil, whether espousing communism or selling nuclear-grade uranium.
It was definitely a Die Hard paint-by-the-numbers effort:
- Evil dudes with seemingly political motives really after the money? Check.
- Strained relations with a family member? Check.
- McLane on vacation and mentioning that. A LOT? Check.
- McLane's body enduring all sorts of brutal attacks, assaults, falling from astounding heights? Check.
At least the rating was back to an R, which lets McLane have his trademark albeit out-out-of-context catchphrase. That was about my only regret from A Good Day. If you re-watch the first, you'll see everyone had a potty mouth.
Like Die Hard 2, there was nothing new or fresh about this latest film. Showing every bit of his 57 years, Willis' McClane looks like the retired cops in an Irish bar. Maybe he should join them?
Alas, according to Wikipedia, Willis says he's got one more installment in him. Let's hope it goes out like the first and fourth. The franchise itself may die hard, but when it does, it deserves to go out better than this.

RINGGOLD, Ga. — James "Craig" Burchfield wants people to know he's still in business.
Burchfield, owner of ASAP Tree Service at 1999 Dietz Road in Ringgold, has been at odds for two years with neighbors unhappy about what they say is his commercial business in their neighborhood. One neighbor has aimed surveillance cameras over the 8-foot-tall privacy fence that Burchfield put around his roughly two-acre backyard, Burchfield said.
Hours limited
After fielding neighbors' complaints, Catoosa County took Burchfield to court. In a recent order, Superior Court Judge Brian M. House put a number of limitations on Burchfield's business, including that he engage in tree-sawing and log-splitting operations only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and that he limit the use of chain saws to no more than 10 hours per week.
The judge also found that Burchfield's business wasn't creating a nuisance and didn't violate the county's zoning ordinance.
Burchfield considers it a victory that he's been cleared of nuisance and zoning violations. The neighborhood spat has been covered by local media, and Burchfield said people ask him if he's still in business.
"I've never been put out of business," he said. "ASAP Tree Service is in business and will continue to stay in business."
Neighbor unhappy
One of Burchfield's next-door neighbors, Martha King, wasn't happy with the court order.
"A home business does not have two dump trucks, a bucket truck, a log lifter, a log splitter, a wood chipper, several chain saws and five employees," King said.
Burchfield says he's moved most of the operation about 200 yards away from his neighbors' homes onto 20 acres owned by his sister and brother-in-law, Dawn and Griff Shirley.
Burchfield said he spent $13,000 on the privacy fence the county asked him to build. It conceals pallets of firewood behind his house from his neighbors' view and the street.
"Every time the county would ask me to do something, I would do it," he said.
Burchfield pointed out what he said are surveillance cameras hidden in a vent in the gable of an outbuilding belonging to his neighbors Wayne and Allethia Dunn.
"That's harassment, and that's invasion of privacy," said Burchfield, who filed a lawsuit last year seeking punitive damages against the Dunns. That lawsuit has not been settled.
Wayne Dunn declined to comment Wednesday.

RALEIGH — The inter-regional political fight over Jordan Lake is churning again, and upstream legislators who want to delay or loosen environmental rules in favor of "technological solutions" may hold the advantage in the next phase.
Elected officials from Greensboro and Burlington are the largest voting bloc on the legislature's Committee on Jordan Lake, making up half the panel that will guide a revamp of the multibillion-dollar Jordan Lake rules environmental program. The areas that use or plan to use Jordan Lake's drinking water will be outnumbered on the board, holding three of its 10 regular seats.
To Elaine Chiosso, an environmentalist who heads the Haw River Assembly, the board's makeup doesn't adequately represent downstream users. Downstream representation is important, Chiosso said, because upstream cities are heavily affected by pollution-control rules and have greater incentive to undo them.
"It's an interesting watershed, in that the biggest city by far … is Greensboro, which sits at the headwaters," she said. "So they have always seen Jordan Lake as sort of a nuisance. … They're too far away to use it for drinking water, or even much for recreation."
The new committee, named Oct. 29, is charged with analyzing Jordan Lake and other polluted waters, reviewing state law about watershed management, gathering comment and recommending a new clean-up strategy, which would need approval from the General Assembly.
In all, five regular members represent the upstream cities, while three represent Durham, Chatham and western Wake counties, which draw water from the lake.
Another member, Sen. Neal Hunt, comes from Raleigh and voted to delay the rules; and Sen. Thom Goolsby, also a delay supporter, represents Wilmington, at the end of the Cape Fear River downstream of Jordan Lake.
Sen. Rick Gunn says members of the Triad delegation are just as determined as their Triangle colleagues to improve water quality in the 16-mile-long reservoir. He led the charge to repeal the rules this summer and now is a chairman of the study committee.
Voting records show Gunn can expect support in the new group. In all, seven of the 10 regular members voted this summer to delay the rules for three years – a victory for upstream legislators and Triad developers who had pushed against the pollution controls.
The vote also illustrated a regional split. Almost 80 percent of upstream legislators voted for the delay, while about 75 percent of the Triangle delegation voted against it.
Pollution controls
Gunn, of Burlington, is skeptical of the state's current approach to Jordan Lake, which relies heavily on pollution controls that aim to keep nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorous out of the lake. Development of upstream land – grading, clear-cutting, and paving – allows more of these nutrients to flow into creeks and streams, feeding algae in the lake that make the water murkier and more alkaline, diminishing its quality.
To prevent this, the current rules call for runoff control on thousands of new and existing properties, most often in upstream areas like the Triad. Gunn's hope and claim is that technology, such as a fleet of water circulators that churn the lake, can help clear the water.
"High nutrients in itself is not a bad thing," he said last week. "How we manage those nutrients is what's important. I have been, and I still am, very skeptical that the policies that were put in place in Jordan Lake would have a material effect."
Rep. Tom Murry, a Republican who represents western Wake County, fought for the current rules during this year's debate, joining a counter-push by Triangle legislators that stopped a full repeal. Murry acknowledged that the board's geography may favor the Triad over the Triangle, with a caveat.
"While it might look like it's an uphill battle based on the makeup of the committee, there's always a way to make sure that the interests of Cary, Morrisville … and western Wake County are well-represented," he said. His goals, he said, are to avoid "wasting taxpayer dollars on technology that might not be effective," and "to make sure that we're not doing any harm to the quality of Jordan Lake at the same time through the relaxation of rules."
Murry also pointed out that he had the backing of Rep. Nelson Dollar, a lead Republican budget writer from Cary.
Rep. Rick Glazier, a Democrat representing Cumberland County, had harsher words about the new committee and the revision of the lake clean-up plan.
"It's not been a particularly transparent, fair or deliberate process, so it's not all that surprising to me that the committee's not all that balanced," said Glazier, who did not seek a seat on the committee.
Like all such groups, the Jordan Lake committee is part of the legislative research commission, led by state Sen. Tom Apodaca and Rep. Tim Moore, both of whom are ex-officio members of all research groups. Neither legislator returned a call for comment.
Gunn argued that his new group's mentality, not its geography, would determine its course. He said some parts of the current rules could make it into his committee's recommendation.
"We are going to work together to find the best way to resolve, both from a quality-management and regulation standpoint, to do what's best," he said.
Start of a long process
The committee will begin meeting in December, returning a report during the legislative short session next year, he said.
That may only begin a long process. The current Jordan Lake program was debated for six years before Gov. Bev Perdue signed it into law in 2009.
Sen. Floyd McKissick Jr., a Durham Democrat and committee member, says the new panel's work could affect the state's strategies for Falls Lake and other crucial water supplies. But the outcome, McKissick said, can't be predicted by the group's membership.
"There's certainly what I would call a geographical, a careful geographical balancing…," he said. "But the thing I'd be concerned about more than geographical balance is ideological open-mindedness."
Asked how that was looking, he laughed and said, "Yet to be determined."

It is scarcely surprising that he fell in with some doubtful aspects in school. For the very first time in his life he could make decisions, and, despite the numerous daily calls from his parents, he made some bad decisions-a lot of drinking, too much partying, and experimentation with pan, cocaine, and inspiration among different medicines. He surely could retain his marks up enough to graduate in four 5 decades. Just after graduating from university, however, he shifted back along with his parents. It had been what children of helicopter parents do.

STOCKBRIDGE, Ga. (AP) -- Georgia strawberry growers say the warm winter and hot spring has caused fields across the state to be in full bloom.
CBS Atlanta reports that Cottle Strawberry Farms in Stockbridge has six acres of strawberry fields that desperately need to be picked.
Sandy Roberts, the farm manager, says this is the earliest they've been open in 28 years.
Roberts said 2012 is probably going to be a shorter season, so people should make plans to get their strawberries sooner rather than later.

Congressman Tom DeLay declared "victory" in war on budget fat on Tuesday...stating that there simply isn't any fat left in the federal budget to cut. When asked if government was operating at maximum efficiency he added "Yes, after 11 years of Republican majority we've pared it down pretty good."
An interesting theory yet one that has no merit.
DeLay even suggested that 'no one' has come up with ideas or places to cut further. For starters, Citizens Against Government Waste issues an annual pig book highlighting the wasteful pork barrel projects Congress passes every year - including the infamous 'bridge to nowhere.'
What's worse perhaps is the Majority Leaders dismissal of what the leader of his own party has tried to do. President Bush created the Performance Assessment Rating Tool to weed out poor performing programs - yet Congress has virtually ignored recommended cuts.
The Heritage Foundation has a great wrap up of the story and options that Mr. DeLay may want to consider for spending cuts.

At his first convocation as president of Eastern Kentucky University, Michael Benson told faculty and staff about several changes he has planned.
His focus will be on what he called the three P's: people, places and programs.
"Our greatest asset is the people who work here," Benson said.
Benson said every faculty and staff member would receive a 2.5 percent raise for the 2013-14 fiscal year, effective Oct.1. He and his staff also would be looking at implementing merit bonuses and would have a plan to do that before the next fiscal year began.
Plans also have been made for changes to the campus itself, the president said, unveiling concept drawings for two new campus features.
The first was a reading porch to be built off of the back of the library. The porch would be walled in but open so people can read outdoors.
The porch will be funded by a donation of $250,000 from Ron and Sherrie Lou Noel, who helped fund the development of the Noel Creativity Studio also connected to the library.
Benson also announced his intention to create a "pedestrian mall" between the library and the Weaver Building. The mall would be an open area outside for student recreation and community gatherings.
The service road that now runs through the area would no longer be open to private vehicles, although emergency responders could still use it to access buildings nearby.
While the mall is still in early conceptual stages, Benson said he would like to expand it by tearing down McGregor Hall, just southeast of the library.
However, Benson said the No. 1 priority as far as developing the campus goes is completing phase two of the New Science Building.
"We're putting all our eggs in the phase two basket," Benson said.
He said the next large construction project after the science building would be a new home for the Department of Education as well as a new Model Lab School.
When it comes to the programs EKU offers, Benson said it was important to focus on what the university is good at and to improve those programs.
"What we do well, we do really well," he said. "But we can't be everything for everybody. We're going to have to make some tough choices going forward."
He said the process of deciding where to focus will take time, and he encouraged input from all levels of the faculty and staff. To facilitate communication with him, Benson announced the creation of a new website called the "EKU President's Suggestion Box."
Anyone wanting to send a message to the president's office can do so by going to www.president.eku.edu/suggestions to do so. Messages may include contact information or be anonymous if desired.
Benson also stressed the importance of branding EKU. He unveiled the concept designs for a new logo and license plate, which will act as a parking pass for faculty and staff.

CapitalMark expands into Cleveland and Oak Ridge
From the Times Free Press:
CapitalMark Bank and Trust plans to double the number of offices it operates next year by expanding into Cleveland and Oak Ridge, Tenn.
But the Chattanooga-based bank isn't building new branches to compete with the 12 banks already in Cleveland or the 11 banks now in Oak Ridge.
CapitalMark has hired the top officers from rival banks in both cities and is leasing former bank offices in both downtown Cleveland and Oak Ridge for the new offices, pending regulatory approval next month.
"We're hoping we can replicate the success that we've had in Chattanooga and Knoxville in these new markets," CapitalMark CEO R. Craig Holley said. "We've grown to nearly $600 million in assets in less than five years using what we believe is a very unique and successful model of trying to serve the needs of successful businesses and consumers."

Court Releases Documents in Colo. Theater Shooting
Family members of the victims of the Century 16 theater shooting remember their loved ones during a vigil at the Aurora Municipal Center campus in Aurora, Colo.
By P. SOLOMON BANDA, Associated Press
DENVER (AP) — After weeks of secrecy surrounding the Colorado theater shooting case, most of the documents filed in court were released to the public on Friday.
[VIEW: Gallery: Aurora Mourns Shooting Victims]
One thing that came to light: The defense has a psychiatry expert on its defense team and plans to use him as an expert, giving further insight into a possible insanity defense by James Holmes.
Holmes, 24, faces 152 charges in the July 20 shooting at an Aurora movie theater during a special midnight showing of the new Batman movie, "The Dark Knight Rises." The attack killed 12 people and injured 58 others.
[VIEW: Gallery: Images From Colo. Theater Shooting Scene]
Defense attorneys claim Holmes is mentally ill and sought the help of a university psychiatrist before the shooting, raising the possibility that Holmes will plead not guilty by reason of insanity.
In court, prosecutors raised the prospect that Holmes was angry at the failure of a once promising academic career and stockpiled weapons, ammunition, tear gas grenades, and body armor as his research deteriorated and professors urged him to get into another profession. Chief Deputy District Attorney Karen Pearson said Holmes failed a key oral exam in June, was banned from campus and began to voluntarily withdraw from the school.
Key information in the case gleaned from previous court documents includes:
— Confirmation that Holmes sent a package to CU psychiatrist Lynne Fenton. In the document, defense attorneys Daniel King and Tamara Brady described Fenton as Holmes' psychiatrist, although prosecutors have said that their doctor-patient relationship ended on June 11, weeks before the attack. The package contains a notebook that reportedly includes descriptions and drawings of an attack, but Fenton said she never saw the notebook.
— Information from prosecutors that Holmes in March spoke with another student about killing people "when his life was over."
Prosecutors and defense attorneys had asked that court documents be sealed to preserve an ongoing investigation and protect Holmes' right to a fair trial. Sylvester ordered that some information in the documents that will be released have information blacked out to protect the identities of witnesses. Documents that won't be released include an arrest affidavit, which contains information about the investigation, as well as requests for search warrants and subpoenas.
In his order, Sylvester noted that some information contained in court documents had been divulged in court and placing limits on what's released balances the public's First Amendment rights to see the court file, and prosecutors' and defense attorneys' concerns.

I cover green technology, energy and the environment from Chicago.
One of the underground tanks suspected of leaking at the Hanford Nuclear Waste Site has been known as an "assumed leaker" for so long—on and off since 1979—that several studies have been conducted to reveal its contents.
On Friday, a spokeswoman for Washington Gov. Jay Inslee could shed little light on that question:
"It's nuclear waste," spokeswoman Jaime Smith told AFP, soon after Inslee met Energy Secretary Steven Chu in Washington DC. "Different tanks have slightly different kinds of waste that they're holding. We're not clear yet on exactly what has been leaking for how long."
But we can get clear. So far DOE has identified only one of at least six tanks that seem to have dropping levels of liquid waste. The level inside tank T-111 has been dropping by 150-300 gallons per year, DOE revealed last week.
Beginning in 1944, Tank T-111 received wastes from processes used to extract plutonium from spent-nuclear fuel for use in nuclear weapons. In the 1960s, T-111 also received waste from equipment decontamination efforts at the Hanford site. It was removed from active service in 1974.
The contents of T-111 are not radioactive enough to meet the definition of high-level waste, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, and the tank's low temperature (about 60 degrees Fahrenheit) testifies to relatively low radioactivity in the tank.
Nonetheless, T-111 contains a nasty bisque of chemicals used to extract plutonium from spent nuclear fuel, seasoned with traces of radionuclides, the byproducts of fission that can increase the risk of cancer to anyone exposed.
A 1996 study found the tank contains 456,000 gallons of a dark brown or black sludge, gel-like in consistency, streaked through with grey/white material. An observer of core samples described the sludge as smooth and thick, like "swamp mud."
Initially, T-111 was the second in a chain of three cascading tanks. When waste flowed into T-110, solids settled there and liquids eventually spilled over into T-111, where remaining solids settled before liquids spilled into T-112. But government officials believe the pipe between tanks 110 and 111 clogged at some point, and T-111 may have received wastes directly at several points during its operating life.
The 1996 core samples suggest that operating life had three distinct phases:
1. The bottom of the tank contains waste from the "bismuth-phosphate process" used by technicians in the 1940s to extract plutonium from spent-nuclear-fuel rods.
2. Above this is a layer of "lanthanum-fluoride finishing waste" from a process used to concentrate the extracted plutonium.
3. The tank is topped with a layer of waste from equipment decontamination efforts conducted in Hanford's T-Plant in the 1960s. T-Plant is a decontamination site that formerly served as a plutonium refinery—the one, in fact, that concentrated plutonium for the "Fat Man" bomb detonated over Nagasaki, Japan in 1945.
In the first of those phases, the bismuth-phosphate process, technicians immersed spent-fuel rods from nuclear reactors in a boiling solution of sodium nitrate and sodium hydroxide. The aluminum coating dissolved, leaving slugs of spent fuel intact.
Technicians then dissolved the spent-fuel slugs in nitric acid. Water and sulfuric acid were added, and then bismuth nitrate and phosphoric acid.
The mixture formed a bismuth-phosphate solid that captured the plutonium from the solution, leaving the uranium behind, along with other products of nuclear fission that I will describe below.
Technicians washed and centrifuged the plutonium solids three times. And then, according to EPA:
"The uranium and fission products solution along with the water used to wash the plutonium solids were combined and discharged to specific underground storage tanks."
Documents indicate T-111 mostly took waste from a later phase of the process. In that later phase, technicians added more chemicals to separate the plutonium from the bismuth phosphate and from any remaining fission products—"primarily strontium, cerium, and zirconium," according to EPA.
The waste from this process, including those fission products, was discharged to underground tanks, and officials believe the lower layer of T-111 contains this type of waste.
In the 1950s, T-111 primarily received waste from an even later phase of the process, the "lanthanum-fluoride finishing" process in which more chemicals are added and the liquid is centrifuged to produce high purity plutonium nitrate.
From EPA and DOE documents, we know Tank-111 is likely to contain, in addition to uranium and plutonium, traces of the following radionuclides from these processes:
Initially the sludge also contained a number of short-lived radioisotopes—such as Ruthenium-106, Antimony-125, Zirconium-95 and Niobium-95—which have largely decayed by now.
Researchers have found the highest radioactivity in the top layer of sludge, which was added to T-111 in the 1960s from the decontamination processes in the T-Plant. T-111 also contains water, the chemical compounds used for plutonium concentration, some chemicals added to prevent corrosion, and a kerosene-like "hydrostatic fluid of normal paraffin hydrocarbons" that researchers added when they took core samples of the tank contents.
Even after the 1996 core sampling, researchers were uncertain what insoluble solids are in the tank. They named 38 likely suspects, ranging from bismuth phosphate to uranyl sulfate.
Read about the contents of another tank: Hanford Tank Ay-102.
What's in those tanks? Broken trust. Broken promises. Broken commitments. It surely isn't the $12 BILLION wasted by walking away from the licensing of a deep geologic repository. Defense waste is supposed to be in process to be on its way to Yucca Mountain. Washington & Oregon politicians – you know who has his hands around your neck. Do something! Speak out! Those tanks will not last another 35 years while looking for a "volunteer" site.
Let's point out that the waste tanks at the Hanford Site contain a total of roughly 500 million curies of radioactivity, about as much as a single 1000 megawatt nuclear power plant.
So far as the number of residual curies contained in material that is now identified as "high level nuclear waste", there are a hundred Hanford-equivalent nuclear waste sites scattered around the country
No state will ever willingly allow the transport of large volumes of high-level nuclear waste across its own territory, except for that waste which originates within its own borders.
Transport of high-level nuclear waste to a national repository, or to an interim storage facility, will not be possible without specific national legislation which compels the individual states to allow transport of highly radioactive waste through their territory.
Even then, the Obama Administration's shutdown of the Yucca Mountain project in direct violation of the Nuclear Waste Policy Act demonstrates that a politically-driven process can be used to successfully bypass a scientifically-driven process, even one which is directly embedded inside a national law.
The reality of the situation is this ….
The Obama Administration's decision to shut down Yucca Mountain in direct violation of law is likely to withstand the legal challenges now being made through the federal courts.
The Yucca Mountain decision will therefore become a precedent for bypassing other national laws which might be intended to compel the states to accept transport of high-level nuclear waste through their territory.
What the Obama Administration has done in closing down Yucca Mountain goes far beyond simply ending work on the national repository. The approach they used to end the repository program opens the door for an unending series of political challenges to the nation's nuclear waste management policies and processes.
Hanford's high-level nuclear waste will never leave Washington State, nor will any of the high-level nuclear wastes now being stored at other nuclear sites around the country ever leave their current locations.
It is politics, not science, which has guaranteed that this is the way things will be for the very long-term future.
Fascinating article. Indeed, the nuclear waste disposal tanks at the Hanford site now contain a veritable 'witches brew' of changing, chemically interacting radioactive contaminants. At Hanford, such tanks were pretty much abiological systems because, except for some hardy bacterial inhabitants of those dark and nasty places, the rich tapestry of living organisms present in Nature were mostly excluded from the isolated 'ecosystem' found inside Hanford's waste tanks.
By contrast, there's an even more intriguing story about open-air nuclear waste disposal sites at Hanford — a system of trenches and ponds dug into formerly bare desert-like ground — in which a local ecosystem of living organisms were inadvertently allowed unencumbered interaction with radionuclides arising from nuclear materials processing at the facility. The most notable — or perhaps infamous — of these Hanford environmental 'dump' sites was one called the "U pond" or more formally, 216-U-10.
The U pond was dug in 1944 and eventually "decommissioned" by the DOE in 1984, during which (by one account) 436 million gallons of liquid effluent nuclear wastes had been emptied into it. Interestingly, in the mid-1970s the DOE contracted with two Battelle scientists to conduct a field study on the U pond that was published as follows:
"The ecological behavior of Plutonium and Americium in a freshwater ecosystem: Phase II – Implications of differences in Transuranic isotopic ratios"
R. Emery and T. Garland
Report: BNWL-1879 UC-48 December 1974
Special Distribution – 30 pages of text and figures
Battelle – Ecosystems Department, Pacific Northwest Laboratories, Richland, WA 99352
Basically, Emery & Garland were tasked with assaying and measuring elements and isotopes (including isotopic ratios) of concern that were originally discharged into the pond and subsequently present in inorganic sediments and complex living biota of the U pond (e.g., body tissues of 'planted' goldfish) as an integrated, somewhat isolated ecosystem. Elements and isotopes of interest to the DOE included Uranium (U), Plutonium (Pu), Americium (Am), and Thorium (Th), among others.
What they ultimately discovered in the data collected and published their above paper was totally unexpected and, frankly, utterly astounding. Inexplicably, they found (quoting directly from their report, " … Of the 1400 kg of 238U, the recorded discharged quantity through 1966, were evenly distributed across the pond's bottom to a depth of 10 cm, the average concentration in the pond sediment would be about 170 μg of 238U/g of sediment. Levels of 238U measured in 51 samples of U-Pond sediment (down to 10 cm) show a mean concentration of 647 μg /g (range of 70 to 2300 μg/g) or about 216 pCi of 238U/g dry weight of sediment. This 238U content in the sediments amounts to about four times more 238U than the recorded discharge into the pond system would allow. At present there are no explanations for this difference."
In other words, in 1974 Emery & Garland found 4x MORE Uranium-238 present in the U pond than had been recorded to have been cumulatively deposited therein from 1944 to 1974, i.e., in 30 years of waste dumping.
They found other even more puzzling, very weird dynamic isotopic anomalies; to wit, "…When the pond sediments are sampled repeatedly in the same location over a short time interval, a substantial variation in the concentrations of 238Pu and 239,240Pu is observed." In other words, isotope ratios of Plutonium were inexplicably changing over short periods — it was as if nuclear reactions were still occurring underneath them in the U pond while they were collecting sediment samples.
Emery & Garland provided no explanations for this extremely anomalous data — circa 1974 it was inexplicable. Fortunately, there may finally be an understanding of these mysteries: it is possible that certain bacteria naturally present in the U pond environment may have been able to utilize LENRs to transmute some of the nuclear waste that had been dumped into the pond. We discuss this fascinating possibility on pages 21 – 24 in the following 50-page Lattice SlideShare document dated Dec. 7, 2010, as follows:
"Some bacteria appear capable of altering isotopic ratios of Uranium — Is it the result of prosaic chemical fractionation processes and/or LENRs?"
Lewis Larsen, President and CEO, Lattice Energy LLC
Perhaps the increase of radionuclides could be partly explained by a disruption of the natural breeding cycles of the resident U-fish, Pu-fish, Am-fish and Th-fish by the introduction of the alien Au-fish?
For those interested in learning more about the fascinating biological saga of the Hanford "U pond" nuclear waste dumping site, here are two very informative — if not provocative — additional references:
Short, well-written popular article:
The Atomic Pond"
By Melvin R. Adams
Columbia Magazine 24 pp. 15 – 18 (2010)
Here are several direct quotes excerpted from Adams' article:
"The first time I saw the pond, it looked like a pleasant place to go fishing. The shorelines were cool from the shade of cottonwood and willows. Bulrushes, wild lettuce, and cattails grew in the marsh. Ducks and coots paddled around on the water. There was an island with trees and a boat dock with a small boat tied to it."
"Since my very first encounter with the pond, I have been struck by the irony that a pond containing atoms of a toxic element created by mankind in nuclear reactors became a flourishing aquatic Garden of Eden in the middle of a desert."
"U–pond was unusually productive from a biological point of view in part because the laundry discharges that went to the pond contained phosphates that acted as fertilizer for algae and diatoms growing in the pond. (The laundry was used to wash protective clothing called 'whites' used by workers when entering radiation zones. The white clothing consisted of hoods, coveralls, boot covers, and gloves.) Scientists estimated that the primary productivity of U–pond approached that of a 'highly productive terrestrial community, a corn field….' In other words, a great deal of biological mass grew in the pond."
"Of the five ponds at Hanford, workers planted goldfish in two—Gable Mountain Pond and U–pond. I remember my first visit to Gable Mountain Pond, a much larger pond than U–pond but without the biological diversity or the plutonium contaminants. I recall coyotes jumping from the abundant cover at the edge of the pond and rabbits and ducks and coots. The goldfish in that pond were quite large—like well-fed koi in a private pond. In U–pond the goldfish did so well that the standing crop was estimated at 75,000 individuals. I am still struck by the irony that a man-made pond devoted to the disposal of waste water could be a haven for a wide range of fauna, including the common goldfish. It is a testament to the fecundity and resilience of nature that a few fish planted in U–pond could flourish to number in the tens of thousands."
"And there is no hint of awareness much less atonement at forming a living oasis in the middle of a desert — creating a magnet for all sorts of life — only to bury it when it no longer had utility. [The author is alluding to the fact the flourishing life of the Hanford U pond was unceremoniously killed in toto and completely buried when the site was officially "decommissioned" by the DOE in 1984].
Rather long, fact-filled but somewhat turgid summary technical report:
"216-U-10 Pond and 216-Z-19 Ditch characterization studies"
G. Last et al.
Report #WHC-EP-0707 DOI: 10.2172/10156239
Westinghouse Hanford Co. (Richland, WA) 463 pp. (1994)
This seemingly anomalous, unexpected example of a healthy and frankly, flourishing local biome not very long after what would seem to have been horrific man-made contamination from many years of dumping radiologically nasty, chemically toxic nuclear wastes is not exactly what the nuclear power doomsayers and hard-core environmentalists would prepare us to expect.
Interestingly, similar, exuberant ecologic recovery has been documented in cordoned-off areas of the contaminated countryside surrounding the ruins of the ill-fated Chernobyl nuclear reactor in the Ukraine. Readers may recall that the Russian-built power reactor had a catastrophic naked-core meltdown, total breach of containment, and huge atmospheric release of radioactive isotopes back in 1986.
At the level of an ecosystem, maybe we have a tendency to underestimate Nature's ability to cope with environmental insults? It is possible that the collective biosphere has had extremely ancient experience with radioactive materials vastly predating modern Man and has latent mechanisms to deal with such problems when circumstances demand it — something to ponder, perhaps?

Sturdy Badge Holder
By HR Professional
from Virginia
This badge holder is excellent. Badges are less likely to get dirty or fall out. Overall, will save you money because your employees aren't constantly asking for a replacement. Very sturdy.
Good Quality

I like the durability of this product. I like that our badges won't fall out of the cover and they do still fit through our timeclock.
Great Protection

Our employees use these to protect their PROX cards and photo ids.
Protection from daily wear and tear

We were re-making badges for keyless entry too frequently-this seems to be adding adequate protection to make them last longer.

I don't want either to lose, but it should be one helluva fight. Why not see a fight between 2 of the top fighters in the division where everything is on the line and they couldn't possibly have more motivation to win (and not lose)? I'm stoked.
i hope rampage stays away from that clinch, a loss for either of thems going to hurt, two losses in a row for someone..lol.

Rather than building each fighter up again, and than have them fight each other or fight others.
i am more concerned about Rampage at this point than Shogun. Rampage's legal troubles will likely affect his mind in training and in the fight. Personally i don't think he should be coming back this quick, sense it was only a couple of months ago that people were wondering where his head is at and i have a hard time believeing he would be coming into this fight even in decemeber fully prepared.
The things is I guarantee you neither one of these guys want to fight a can or a decent guy who they should still easily beat. They want to fight only the best, reguardless of their condition, and I got a ton of respect for that. And besides if they put them up against a mid level/up and coming guy(ala Forrest) and they some how lost, everyone would claim that they only won because Rampage or Shogun were not at 100%.
I am in the same boat as a lot of you. I don't want either of these guys to lose.
Who knows what the hell will happen with Quinton if he does, and Shogun is in deep, deep trouble if he does.
I wish they were both getting other fights just for their returns

Rampage and Vera train together... but they did say they would fight if it was for the title.
I'd rather see Rampage against Jardine and Vera/Shogun. Shogun vs Vera would be a good MT battle which I see shogun coming out on top. His aggressive MT skills is a lot to handle... hopefully he comes with the same fire he had in pride.

Yeah, I agree with you on that. It sucks whenever there are 2 guys fighting and you don't want either to lose. Both have had disappointing losses to the same guy and to come back and lose again.. damn. Well, at least Rampage gets a chance at avenging one of the few losses he had in PRIDE.
I guess part of me wishes this fight will happen just due to that alone, but either way, I think it'll be an amazing fight that a lot of people have been waiting for.

I think Shogun would take it,in pretty devastating fashion,but not as easily or as quickly as he did in their previous fight. Rampage is a much smarter fighter now,and his strikings improved a ton.
This cards looking insane thus far.
Not only is Jackson smarter, but he has had more time to ajust to the UFC and its rules. I dont think Shogun has had enough time in the Cage to get use to the no soccer kick kind of rules. I say rampage by KO.
Guess im crazy.

That fight will happen again. I dont know why but I wanna see Wandy fight Bonnar...
I know it looks highly unlikely, but I would love to see a Lidell/Wandy rematch.
I've thought a bout it a little more and this may be a little different than the LW scenario, they may not know how much each fighters got left and if one of them loses badly, they generate revenue for the other. My guess is Shogun is the ?, but a loss to him would look better than a loss to Jardine or Vera.

Let's keep photography and mapping mashable
Many people have suggested that I submit some of my many aerial photos to Google Earth. I'd love to do that, but after looking at the instructions for adding photos, especially the "acceptance policy", I have to wonder if it's worth the effort, or even the Right Thing To Do.
First, I have to upload photos into Paroramio, which was bought by Google earlier this year.. Since I've already uploaded 17,310 photos into my Flickr account, I'm not in the mood to do that again, least of all into a silo'd service — which Panoramio appears to be, while Flickr is not... at least not as much as Panoramio.
For an idea of the difference, compare Flikr's many APIs with the single one offered by Panoramio.
Thanks to Flickr's openness, every one of my many photo sets on Flickr is also usable in a complementary service provided by Tabblo. That's why every one of my tabblos (montages) are composed of shots I've already uploaded to my Flickr account.
I love that Tabblo and Flickr both recognize that the online photo marketplace is bigger than both of them, that the photos in their archives are the property of their contributors, and that those photos should be under those contributors' control. Open APIs such as Flickr's allow users (or customers) to move photos form one service to another, on an as-needed basis. In the argot of the Identity Gang, the customer gets to federate his or her own photographs between different photo services. (Federation is a kind of sharing with the user's or customer's permission.)
But Google Earth appears to be forcing me to upload to Panoramio, if I'd like my photos to appear in Google Earth.
Now, in an ideal world — that is, one where the Net is truly symmetrical, peer-to-peer and end-to-end — I would rather do the federating myself, from my own photo archive, with my own APIs. That way I could federate selected photos to Flickr, Tabblo, Panoramio and whomever else I please. In fact, that would probably make things easier for everybody. But that's a VRM (vendor relationship management) grace we don't enjoy yet. In the absence of that, we need more open APIs between services such as these, so customers' photos can be shared at the vendor-to-vendor level.
Then there's the "acceptable use" business. Panoramio says "not selected" photos include thirteen bulleted items, including "Underwater or aerial photos similar to the satellite images from Google Maps". Well, most of the images I'd like to submit are taken from airplanes, at heights ranging from runway level to 40,000 feet. None are from the heights enjoyed by satellites, and very few are shot straight down, in the manner of satellite photos, since they're shot looking out the windows of passenger planes. Still, the rule says similar to. What is that?
I could go to the trouble of setting up a Panoramio account and try my luck after a few uploads, but I don't want to waste what little time I have. That's one thing I love about Flickr. The labor and time involved in posting and commenting on photos is very low. Tabblo has also made it very easy to assemble montages of photos, and to print them out in various ways. I'd like to see Panoramio and Google Earth operate in the same market-friendly mash-em-up way.
Maybe they do and I don't know it. Ya'll can help me with that.
Meanwhile, the photo/mapping market is a (literally) moving one for me. Specifically, I'd like to geotag every photo I take that's within sight of GPS satellites. I have two Garmin handheld GPSes and two little portable bluetooth GPS receivers that can transmit raw data to devices that know what to do with it. Far as I can tell, those do not include my Canon 30D digital SLR. They do include some Sony Cybershot cameras, however. I know that because somebody loaned me a Sony GPS-CS1, which is built to use only where Windows and Sony proprietary silos intersect, so it's useless to me. But still, its existence points the way toward geotagging of everything that might require it.
The politics of APIs are are not easy or uncomplicated. (Follow that last link to visit one example.) But I would think that services built on Linux and other open components — as are Flickr and Tabblo (haven't checked on Panoramio yet) — would veer strategically toward making photography and mapping as mashable as possible. I'd like to encourage that.
So I'll stop there and let the rest of you fill me in on what's open, what's not and where you think the whole photo/mapping market needs to go as the technologies of both increasingly intersect and overlap.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
I have a extra gps tracking devise. it says legent and garmin on it. it locates way points and stuff like that. i was wondering if you could put it on someones car and track were they're going without you there and without them knowing. can anyone give me specific instructions on how to do this??

Visual Travel Guide
You should try the VisualTravelGuide instead of Panoramio. It's published in google earth and the way to browse the pictures is much better and faster.
GPS logger cross-platform compatibility
I don't think your comment on photo geocoding: "Sony GPS-CS1, which is built to use only where Windows and Sony proprietary silos intersect" is entirely fair. There are couple "degrees" of automation in photo geocoding: 1) automatic in-camera - almost no cameras support this. If cameras would accept Bluetooth NMEA streams, that would be the best and most open solution. Eventually though I expect cameras will just have built-in GPS. 2) External file matching. For this all you need are images files, a GPS track, and software to match up the two (by matching time stamps). While it's true that Sony's device is Windows and Sony-camera friendly, it does work with any photos that comply to EXIF 2.1, and its GPS track can be used with any standard software, whether it's RoboGEO or GPS Visualizer. The software and data files are not a big problem, there are applications for geocoding that are web-based as well as ones that run on Windows, Mac and Linux. The main barrier is device communication. Almost without exception the current GPS loggers only support "control" communication using serial-over-USB, with custom serial drivers and software that are Windows-only. That means a) you need their Windows software in order to change the GPS settings and b) you need their Windows software in order to download the files. There are two ways they could solve this: first, they could offer file browsing over Bluetooth - it's very frustrating to have a GPS logger that can communicate fine with Mac Google Earth using a NMEA serial stream over Bluetooth, but it doesn't support the Mac over USB. Second, it is a bit artificial that they don't support their drivers on the Mac - the underlying hardware architecture of a Mac is the same as a PC these days, someone commented "serial drivers should be so standardized, it's almost like they have to put extra effort into not supporting the Mac". For Mac, you can also of course insert "Linux". One good way to try to address things right now is by working with gpsbabel - they are trying to support devices cross-platform. For more info see GPS loggers and Macs: why can't we all get along?
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Reddy Ice Holdings Inc. says it plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The Dallas-based packaged ice company on Thursday also said it wants to pursue a possible buyout of Canadian competitor Arctic Glacier, which is also operating under bankruptcy protection, and its subsidiaries.
Reddy Ice said that its business has been hurt by softer economic conditions, increased commodity costs and heavy debt levels.
The company said its plan to file for bankruptcy and restructure has the support of its lenders and major creditors and that its operations will continue uninterrupted.
Reddy Ice says it will ask for approval from a bankruptcy judge in District of Texas to exit from Chapter 11 in 45 days or less.

Herb Dean vs Dave Legeno Cage Rage 22
Uploaded by Princenino
Marios Zaromskis vs Ross Mason
Uploaded by Princenino
Herb Dean's fight was pretty disappointing. He also retired from fighting following that fight.
Butterbean looked pretty good until he went to the ground. He should think about going back to his dominant sport of boxing, I think he would do much better there.
Check out Thompson vs. Grove…it is a sick knockout. The fight only lasts like 10 seconds.
Yeah are good but they are just spectacle fights.
Watch Marios vs. Ross Mason, that is one of the best fights I have ever seen. If you like two good strikers going at it and then a big finish, watch that one.

I would just like to say that we had a fantastic holiday and our thanks to Marta for her fantastic service at all times.
Jeanne Madden TeeTimes reply:Thank you Jeanne for your kind coments
For best golf course I could not choose, for me it's Palmares
Love Anita customer service. Top girl. TeeTimes reply:Thank you Nigel for your kind comment
We had to make our own way to vale do lobo as they would'nt provide a transfer, in the past they have. Maybe i needed to say a transfer was required when booking? TeeTimes reply:Hello Paul . We do need to know that you request transfers . we have very competitive prices for both Accommodation and Transfers . Also we know where can one or other services can be complimentary.
Needed to alter teetime at Alto Golf at short notice,response and service was excellent,first class ! Altered date of play at Parque do Floresta after being informed by yourselves that front 9 holes had been hollow- tyned,only to find back 9 holes had been done prior to our arrival,not so good. :-( TeeTimes reply:Thanks to give a Excellent , for the value of our service , anyway we feel sorry we could not get to you the info about the back nine at Parque da Floresta .
The golf was excellent, and your service and value for money was also excellent. We did not stay in a hotel, had a friends villa. My only complaint was the cost of the buggies , 50 euros is very expensive, at Laranjal and San Lorenzo when they are free at Monte Rei. We are coming to Portugal in July next year and i have passed your details to the person who is organising and i believe he has already been in touch. TeeTimes reply:Thank Robert for your kind comments
Have been using Tee Times for 10 years for our annula trip to Portugal.
Always very helpful and accomodating to our needs.
Thank YOU

Prices are still very expensive compared to Spain and Turkey TeeTimes reply:hello Peter . Thank you for your feedback . By experience comparing all important factors on a golf holiday Portugal and the Algarve special is very competitive .
Hotel very much all golfers hotel but fine.. Car was a little small for 4 + clubs.
Your organisation was excellent.
Will be booking up with again and have recommended you to my freinds already .
