I cover the underlying drivers of energy, technology and society.
In a journalistic drone strike gone horribly wrong, news outlets across the country last Saturday reported on a nearly 70-year-old leaking underground radioactive nuclear weapons waste tank at a nuclear reservation, but showed irrelevant photos of a nuclear power plant many miles away. Apparently everyone from the New York Daily News to TV stations in Portland, Oregon has forgotten that nuclear weapons production from WWII and early in the Cold War has nothing to do with a nuclear power plant today.
Archive photos of a Washington State commercial nuclear power plant, the Columbia Generating Station, were used as the main image about a completely unrelated leaking waste tank that was built in 1944 at the Department of Energy Hanford Site (KXLY Spokane).
The power plant does lease land from the U. S. Department of Energy but that's the only connection.
Let me clarify the science behind this issue:
Nuclear Bombs — Bad!
Nuclear Energy — Good!
The icky sludge and saltcake generated from making weapons is nothing like fuel from a power reactor. The New York Daily News did pull the photo when it was pointed out to them that the photo had nothing to do with the story, but few seem to care.
Why isn't scientific accuracy necessary when reporting on nuclear issues?
The only news outlet and reporter to get the story, and the image, correct was Annette Cary at the Tri-City Herald in Washington State, but then she knows the nuclear issues very well and gets them right (Tri-City Herald).
Slowly, outlets appear to be pulling the reports, but the damage is done. Another victory for ignorance!
The other thing that was misreported is that these leaking tanks hold high-level radioactive waste (HLW), which is not true. They contain another, much less radioactive waste called transuranic waste (TRU waste) that is thousands of times less radioactive than high-level waste.
But everyone can be forgiven since only a few of us science geeks know the difference.
Although hundreds of gallons of this leaking water might be leaking from a tank each year, the 100 billion gallons of volume between it and the river won't be much affected. The environmental impact is not even measurable and there won't be any discernable effects on public health – ever (Environmental Impact Statement DOE/EIS-0391). If all of this leakage reaches the river it will have less of an affect than if you moved to Colorado.
Terrible, I know.
Yes, we need to clean this up. Yes, we need to get this waste in the right geology where it can't get out for a billion years. And yes, we know exactly how to do this and where to put it (Chris Helman – Nuke Town).
We just need to be allowed to get on with it.
You are correct that the story of the leaking tanks has nothing to do with the Columbia Generating station. You are incorrect to state that the wastes in the tanks is not high-level nuclear waste. That is exactly what they are. Maybe four or five of the tanks are TRU tanks — the other 175 tanks contain high-level nuclear waste. As such, they are subject to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, and must be disposed of in a licensed geological repository. Another disservice of your article is the notion that it is "only" 150 to 300 gallons. Actually, at least one million gallons of this deadly brew has already leaked into the soil and groundwater. A more recent environmental study than the one you pointed to states that levels of plutonium, alone, would be at 300 times the legal limit on the Columbia River shores in a few hundred years, as these plumes arrive at the river. Seems like you "science geeks" get your facts wrong, just like everybody else.
Please! "Ignorance" and "accident" my big foot! Predominate anti-nuclear sympathies in the mass media "innocently" and successfully planted an indelible seed of FUD in the minds of hundreds of millions of people toward nuclear energy, as it has for over forty years. Trying to tell me over 99% of the media and their researchers and star "nuclear consultants" (like the knowledgeable Doc Kaku) and all their data bases never caught this? Hey, buy me a bridge in Brooklyn! The media is either incompetent — bad news by itself! — or complicit in being antinuclear — period. Never let an incident go unexploited, even it's a bald-faced lie.

Many of the news services use automated image programs that "grab" what a computer considers a related image. So this may have been a glitch rather than a journalistic failure. So far I have not seen any news stories pulled but as usual Conca demands proof from everyone but himself.
Hanford is a huge mess that isn't getting solved and the only thing "standing in the way" is the bloated greedy contractor system that has been milking the government while returning very lousy progress. The yucca mtn site has ZERO to do with Hanford's legacy. They still need to figure out what to actually do with the radioactive stew in the tanks, some that can't even be messed with. Get the vitrification system to actually work and figure out how to deal with the Purex plants.
The current nuclear power industry has everything to do with Hanford and the bomb factories of WWII and the cold war. It spawned the nuclear power industry because they had to figure out some way to monetize all that work. Those war contractors were not just going to throw away all that work when there is money to be made. Turning nuclear technology loose in the private business sector before it was really ready was the dumbest thing the US ever did, short of the mess they made at Hanford in the first place.
HLW or TRU, stranded waste is still stranded waste.
Defense waste funding for the Yucca Mountain effort was in the hundreds of millions and there is little or nothing to show for it. Isn't there a new vit facility being built on the spec for delivery to YM? That will be another write-off to add to the Billions of $$ thrown away by the anti-nuke ideologues who own the Senate and White House by their stranglehold on the Yucca Mountain licensing hearings.
Perhaps the linkage between plant waste and defense waste is not so subtle. Neither has an end-of-cycle solution in sight.
The salt you so blythely bandy about as repository solutions are ancient seas that have dried up over time as tectonic change the surface features of the earth.
Sea salts contain nitrate salts that are capable of absorbing and retaining large amounts of heat—-primarily NaNO3 and KNO3.
It is possible that burying hot radioactive waste in salt domes could be setting ourselves some massive explosions in the future—especially if heat from decaying radioactivity comes into contact with remnant pockets of moisture or new moisture works its way the deposits.
This could cause a flash over and a sudden extreme pressure build up. The same kind of pressures that cause explosive volcanic eruptions such as Mt. St. Helen's or VesuviusEnter Your Comment

Driving past the shopping plaza at 27-29 Pleasantville Rd. in Ossining, Dreidel Island looks like a permanent storefront along the strip.
But Chabad Lubavitch of Briarcliff Manor-Ossining has rented out a vacant space for the second consecutive year and opened up for just one week.
Dreidel Island is chock-full of all things Hanukkah—from a shop featuring every kind of menorah and dreidel to craft tables and games for kids of all ages, Chabad Co-Director Miriam Labkowski said the store gives local Jewish families the chance to focus on Hanukkah in an often Christmas-dominated world.
Dreidel Island is open through Sunday afternoon. Read more about its offerings and events here.

Twenty years ago, millions of Americans were cocking their ears — waiting to hear a "giant sucking sound."
They feared Mexico would begin vacuuming up U.S. manufacturing jobs as soon as President Clinton signed the North American Free Trade Agreement, or NAFTA, on Dec. 8, 1993.

Freezing rain has been creeping across Tennessee on its way to the mid-Atlantic as the stunning cold, snow and ice that gripped Texas and the west on Saturday advance eastward.
The storm is expected to turn Virginia and Pennsylvania into an icy mess today and scrabble north into New York and southern New England tonight.
Roads will be perilous in many places by this evening and forecasters warned travelers and holiday shoppers to stay home.

Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel landed in Afghanistan Saturday for a surprise visit with the troops.
Despite the fact that the U.S. and Afghanistan are at odds over a security agreement that allows U.S. troops to remain in the country past 2014, Hagel has no plans to meet with Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who has refused to sign the security agreement.
The Associated Press reports:
The Oklahoma State University/A&M Board of Regents has approved a ban on electronic cigarettes and other smoking devices on the Stillwater campus.
The board voted Friday during a meeting in Langston to immediately ban e-cigarettes, hookahs, vapor devices and clove cigarettes until more research on their safety is completed.
The OSU Student Government Association and other groups support the ban.
This month marks the 20th anniversary of the passage of the original Metropolitan Area Projects (MAPS) program.
By voting for a temporary one-cent sales tax, the citizens of Oklahoma City enabled the city to collect nearly $310 million dollars to help fund nine "quality of life" projects in downtown Oklahoma City.
The resulting development and renovations sparked a genuine revitalization of downtown Oklahoma City.
Thousands of people have gathered in Kiev's Independence Square over the past two weeks, where Orthodox priests chanted prayers at dawn and demonstrators are vowing to keep up their protests.
The government is showing no signs of yielding, suggesting that the tensions that have gripped the country for two weeks are far from a resolution.
Rebecca Cruise, the Assistant Dean of the College of International Studies at the University of Oklahoma, says the protests are about two things: The jailed opposition leader Yulia Tymoshenko, and the president's decision not to sign agreements with the European Union that would bring them closer to Europe, both economically and politically.
China says it is fully capable of enforcing its newly-declared maritime air defense zone above disputed islands in the East China Sea that has drawn strong denunciations from the U.S., Japan and other nations.
"They're [the islands] not all that impressive, but they happen to be on top of what looks like oil reserves or natural gas," says Rebecca Cruise, the Assistant Dean of the University of Oklahoma's College of International Studies. "There are a lot of people in this part of the world that are needing energy, and the demand there rises, so this becomes about resources, and about power."
A Republican House member has filed hundreds of ethics complaints against candidates and legislators from both parties for allegedly violating various campaign reporting requirements.
Rep. Mike Reynolds of Oklahoma City filed the complaints on Thursday with the Oklahoma Ethics Commission. He says fines associated with the violations could total more than $7 million.
The state employee remuneration study ordered by HB1717 is set to be released Friday, depending on the weather, said John Estus, Office of Management and Enterprise Services public information officer.
Estus said if the weather does not cooperate, the study is set to be released Monday.
Former Oklahoma Labor Commissioner Brenda Reneau has died at age 58.
Cornerstone Funeral Home in Muskogee — which is in charge of funeral arrangements — says Reneau died Thursday at her home in Oklahoma City. A cause of death was not immediately available.
Reneau was the first woman elected Oklahoma Labor Commissioner when she was elected in 1994.
Funeral services are incomplete.
Reneau is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Gail Houghton, parents Marjorie and Norman Fallen of Muskogee and brother Kevin Fallen of Oklahoma City.

JOPLIN, Mo. —
Anum Ahmed, who was an eighth-grader at South Middle School last year, has won the gold medal junior division in individual website at the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day competition at the University of Maryland-College Park.
As a first-place winner, she will be recognized by the National Endowment for the Humanities with a college scholarship and will receive a cash award. More than 2,800 students competed at the national competition, the theme of which this year was "Revolution, Reaction, Reform."
Ahmed's website, "A Revolution by Ruhollah Khomeini: The Voice That Changed Iran," focused on how Iran changed before and after the 1979 revolution, led by Khomeini, that saw the overthrow of the Shah of Iran.
Click here to see Ahmed's winning website.
"I had a lot of fun researching it," Ahmed said. "My favorite part was probably when I finished it and got to see how it turned out. I'm really proud of my end product."
Ahmed said she was very excited to win and didn't believe it at first. Earlier this year, she won the regional competition at Missouri Southern State University. She then went on to Columbia, where she received third place and was therefore an alternate for nationals. When the first-place winner from state dropped out of the competition, she was able to compete at nationals, but only had a week to complete the project.
"The judges said that they really liked the design of my project and thought the topic I researched was difficult because it was international," she said.
Her teacher, Ivan Obert, will receive a year's complimentary membership in the Organization of American Historians.
"I really couldn't have done it without my family or teacher," Ahmed said. "They really helped me stay sane during this whole process."
Ahmed competed in History Day last year and won at regionals, but did not place at state with her paper about the court case Brown v. The Board of Education. She said she hopes to participate in History Day in high school and may pursue a future career in medicine.

After more than a decade, two murder cases will finally make their way to court. On Thursday, New London Superior Court Judge Arthur C. Hadden set February 6 as the date for jury selection to begin in the trial of Dickie Anderson.
Anderson, 41, is charged with the murder of two women, Renee Pellegrino who was found strangled to death on Parkway South in Waterford in 1997 and Michelle Comeau, who was found dead near Norwich Industrial Park near the Franklin town line in 1998. The Pellegrino murder had been a cold case until DNA testing implicated Anderson.
Although no DNA evidence links Anderson to the Comeau murder, he reportedly admitted to having sex with both women the day they died. Both women were strangled and their naked bodies looked to be posed when police found them. The two murders were similar enough in nature to lead the state's medical examiner to conclude it was likely the work of one killer.
Earlier this month, Judge Hadden had ruled in favor of the state's motion to consolidate both cases, allowing both murders to be tried together. On December 29, he denied a defense motion to reconsider his earlier decision to consolidate the case.
Judge Hadden also denied a defense motion to dismiss the Comeau case based on speedy trial issues. Christopher Duby, one of two defense attorneys representing Anderson, said he had been ready to proceed to trial in that case before the two murders were consolidated.
Defense Attorney John Walkley, meanwhile, said he had not been ready to proceed to trial with the Pellegrino case because the state had not provided the defense with DNA evidence for testing. Senior Assistant State's Attorney David Smith disputed that, saying his office had sent the evidence to the defense in May.
Either way, the defense motion asking the judge to compel the state to turn over that evidence became a moot point. The defense team received the requested DNA evidence from the state's attorney on December 15.
That doesn't give the defense much time to have the evidence tested, however. Walkley said he hoped to have the test results back within 30 to 60 days but with the holidays, it was hard to say and he didn't yet know when the defense expert would be available to testify.
Given the circumstances, Judge Hadden granted the defense request to push the trial date back a week from the February 1 date he originally had in mind to February 6.

Kerry Hannon, Contributor
I cover boomer careers, retirement, aging and personal finance.
Today was the day. I put away the last vestige of the ho, ho, ho season—the festive bowl of holiday cards with pictures of smiling kids and pets, along with the occasional annual letters detailing whirlwind lives.
As I was taking a final gander, one caught my eye. It was sent by Gwenn Rosener. Gwenn is a woman I interviewed last year about her firm Flexforce Professionals, a recruiting and staffing company in the Washington, D.C., area that focuses on helping professionals, including retirees who want to continue working, find part-time work with competitive pay.
Gwenn, once an Ernst & Young senior manager, who holds a Harvard MBA in her back pocket, and her partners Sheila Murphy and Ellen Grealish all have executive-level management and consulting backgrounds. Grealish worked at Hewlett-Packard and Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), and Murphy held consulting posts, mostly with government clients, including the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
They started their business in 2010, and reeled in revenues of $140,000 with a profit of $47,000 that first year, placing CFOs, HR managers, business development and proposal writers, web designers, analysts, bookkeepers and office managers–all in part-time or temporary jobs.
"Dear Kerry,
Hope you have a wonderful holiday. Enjoyed connecting with you this year," Gwenn wrote. "Thank-you for letting us share our story. A quick update since our last talk–we actually ended up quadrupling our sales this year and surpassed the $500k mark. It surprises even us."
It didn't surprise me. Temporary staffing is the bee's knees these days.
Recently, the big online job site,CareerBuilder, released a Harris Interactive survey that showed that more than a third of American companies are operating with smaller staffs than before the recession.
To keep business trucking along, 36 percent of companies will hire contract or temporary workers in 2012, up from 28 percent in 2009, according to the survey of more than 3,000 hiring managers and human resource professsionals.
And nearly a third of those employers want to hire before April. "Temporary jobs from staffing and recruiting firms are playing an increasingly important role in the economic recovery," according Eric Gilpin, president of CareerBuilder's Staffing & Recruiting Group.
Based on CareerBuilder's data, the following are examples of staffing and recruiting positions currently in demand: Occupational or Physical Therapist and Speech Language Pathologist, Java or .Net Developer, Network Engineer, Administrative Assistant, Customer Service Representative and Business Analyst.
I get it. From the employer's perspective, hiring temporary workers simply makes sense in many circumstances. They can staff up for short-range project without the price tag of healthcare and other benefits.
And in this employment market, they can attract the crème de la crème. These are often workers who have been downsized, or taken early retirement packages. Once the dust clears, they discover they either need or want to keep working. (Please continue on next page.)
Good points for those of us on the job hunt to keep in mind. Thanks!
Thanks Kerry!
You are correct. As an employer it is in my best interest to first "rent" a potential employee without recourse. Another key point you mentioned in your article regarding temp labor is that I also get to find out if they can do the job. That is very important. You did however miss the fact that I get time to figure out just how little I can pay them to do it as an employee.
Fortunately for me the self esteem of the unemployed is so low these days they will gladly spend more going to work (vehicle, clothes, training, school etc.) than they will have earned at the end of the week. This version of modern slave trade is vital to the success of both our organizations. You as a recruiter and me as an employer.
Keep up the good work, the business community needs more women like you! Without this slave labor both our careers would certainly be less profitable than they are today!
Temp jobs can be great, but they aren't for everyone. I've been on contract jobs and I've also hired contractors. Some warnings:
- Contract jobs typically don't have benefits and if they do, they're typically not at a group rate like you would get with a direct position, so if benefits are something you need, realize that you're on your own.
- Contractors are often treated like 2nd class citizens by the organization as a whole. (e.g. not invited to the company picnic, golf outing, etc ). I've never been treated poorly by the employees I actually worked with though.
- Some companies believe that contractors are only motivated by a desire for direct employment and without making explicit promises, will dangle that carrot out in from of contract workers. I've been on both sides of this one. Several years ago, as a manager, I "inherited" a contractor from another department who had worked for 3 years, expecting a direct position was just around the corner. His former supervisor admitted to "almost promising" the poor guy direct employment "to keep him motivated". I've also worked as a contractor where the company would use the "direct hire" carrot as a way to motivate the contractors.
My advice is if you take a contract job, you can't go into it expecting a direct position and don't believe that you're getting one until you have a written offer in front of you.
Bah. Industrial Age wisdom. Nevertheless, I respect your POV. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year! ☻
Twenty year ago I became very ill and not knowing what to do for work I went to the library career section and found a book titled, Temp by Choice. It sounded crazy to me but as it turned out, I was a great temp and could survive on the money and was able to work around my bad health days. It was great going to work and no one knew I was ill.
Throughout the years that I worked as a temp by choice, I was offered several permanent positions, and several of those were with very good firms. I also learned so much about the corporate world(s) and the culture of different firms and the business's in my own city, including government agencies, that without trying my network became vast and the work experience of my resume was impressive.
I highly recommend temp work until a person finds what they are truly looking for and if someone is promising a direct hire and it is not forth coming within 6 weeks, then move on, there is always another firm around the corner. As a temp it is great to have that type of leverage.
i like it
Problem are companies hiring temp jobs as a replacement for permanent jobs. Health care costs have spiraled out of control and they simply don't want to pay them anymore. It ridiculous and a solution needs to be found.

So the thing I've been wondering is is second son technically inFAMOUS 3 or is it like Assassins creed where it goes off into different games and then bring out the third later?
No, Second Son is a brand new storyline within the inFAMOUS franchise featuring an all new lead protagonist, Delsin Rowe, with a new origin story. While key events within the inFAMOUS universe do tie the games together, Second Son is not a continuation of inFAMOUS 2 as a third title in the Cole MacGrath saga. -MichaelMQA ManagerForum ModeratorExclusive to the PlayStation 4Sucker Punch
I like the way you think Rain.-MichaelMQA ManagerForum ModeratorExclusive to the Playstation 4Sucker Punch
Oh hey, new background change. With a red tint on the left and a blue tint on the right. Looks nice. I guess this confirms karma-choices in Second Son?
Oh my god...so it's after the evil ending??!! This changes everything...but it makes sense. Humans must have stopped Cole before he could venture further than the east coast. Which also means...no Zeke...
I sorta want a Kessler Prequel...
Do you think that any conduit astronauts could have escaped from the RFI?
I think he's implying that it could be after either ending. Both John and Cole "decimated the east coast" as The Beast.
after the East Coast was ultimately decimated by a group of powerful superhumans.
Well MichaelM also said Unless I'm forgetting something about the Good ending, I think that hints pretty strongly at Second Son making the Evil ending "canon."
Several conduits were created by John as well. I think it's intentionally vague so either ending could work.

Lets be honest. The 42 year-old, Teemu Selanne, isnt getting any younger and he couldve easily hung up his skates in 2007 when he hoisted his first Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks and had gone out on top. Now, as the lockout wipes out a third of the NHL season, Selanne is on the brink of calling it quits.
Ill be the one that will state the obvious; itll be unfortunate if a future hockey hall of famer had to go out like this.
Theres so much more to the current standstill than just the dollar figures and contract stipulations. Veterans that are in the tail end of their career are left with the decision of whether or not they want to continue playing when hockey season starts up again.

Epping residents upset by tree trimming crew's work
"They've left the logs all over the place in the ditches, which means there's going to be floods," Blake Road resident Isobel Parke complained to the planning board last week.
Selectman Karen Falcone, a resident of Prescott Road, said she arrived home after being away recently and found debris on her property and her fence damaged.
Falcone said the tree crews made a "terrible, terrible mess."
"I don't mind the public safety aspect of it. I mind the way they left the property," Falcone said.
The complaints were aired when the planning board held a public hearing last week on a plan by Public Service of New Hampshire to trim and/or remove trees and brush on several scenic roads.
While the hearing focused on PSNH's tree maintenance work, which the planning board approved, residents complained about the trimming and tree removal done recently by crews contracted by New Hampshire Electric Co-op, which also serves customers in Epping.
In response to the complaints, Seth Wheeler, spokesman for New Hampshire Electric Co-op, said the company has scheduled a meeting with selectmen April 1 to address any concerns and explain their practices.
"We're trying to be responsive to the town and the members," Wheeler said Thursday.
Wheeler said the company has received complaints from customers in the area of Blake and Prescott roads.
When it comes to cleaning up the leftover brush, Wheeler said crews usually pile it up to be chipped at a later time.
"This could be a situation where the cutter is a day or two ahead of the chipper, but they will come back," Wheeler said.
Wood that can be burned is usually stacked up and left for the property owner, he said.
After investigating the fence damage on Falcone's property, Wheeler said crews from Asplundh, the tree-cutting crew hired for the work, didn't believe one of their trucks caused the damage to the fence, but has agreed to repair it.
Some residents have also complained about stumps being left behind - a problem PSNH faced in 2008 when town officials expressed outrage after large trees were cut down but the stumps weren't removed.
Wheeler said some of the stumps were left high because of the snow. Once the snow melts, crews will return and the stumps were be trimmed down to the ground.

Weatherford Democrat
— By CHRISTIN COYNE
CRESSON – As firefighters battled a blaze that destroyed a large two-story house north of Cresson Friday afternoon, the 48-year-old homeowner was transported by ground ambulance to a Fort Worth hospital for reported non-life-threatening injuries.
Flames were coming through the roof and the structure was well-involved when firefighters arrived on scene in the 100 block of West Hidden Meadow Court after being dispatched shortly after 2 p.m., Cresson VFD Fire Chief Joe Huffman said.
The fire went to four alarms primarily because of a need for water to extinguish the large blaze, according to Huffman.
Firefighters had to fight the structure fire defensively because of the advanced stage and the house was considered a total loss.
Responding Parker County fire departments included Cresson, Aledo, Springcreek, Willow Park and Silver Creek, as well as fire departments from Tarrant, Johnson and Hood counties. Cresson volunteers didn't arrive back at their station until shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday, according to Huffman.
Two neighbors across the street saw smoke, found the homeowner unconscious next to a skid-steer loader outside the house and pulled him away from the house, Parker County Fire Marshal Shawn Scott said, who said it wasn't clear if the man was injured attempting to fight the fire.
Firefighters initially requested a helicopter but the man was transported by LifeCare to a Fort Worth hospital. Officials say the man's medical history may have contributed to the decision to transport him.
Though neighbors reported hearing an explosion, the home itself did not explode, according to Scott.
The propane was connected to the house and those lines were venting, contributing to the spread of the fire, according to Scott. The construction of the house - the open floor spread, as well as the common attic - also lent to the quick spread of the fire.
Despite help from the Tarrant County Arson Taskforce, which was requested due to the size of the building and the value of the loss, the cause of the fire remained undetermined Saturday, Scott said.
The more than 5,600-square-foot house, as well as a guest house and workshop on the 5-acre property, is listed for $1.15 million.
The house also had a 15-seat home theater, game room and a heated pool and spa, according to the real estate listing.
The house was insured, Scott said.

Special teams will be the ticket for CFL LB Derrick Doggett to make the Steelers' roster, but the way we hear it, he has a definite affinity for covering kickoffs and punts.
Steelers sign CFL LB Doggett
The Steelers signed LB Derrick Doggett, a special-teams ace with the CFL's Winnipeg Blue Bombers, on Tuesday.
Steelers not without their share of positives on special teams
Although the Steelers' problems covering kickoffs played a role in their inability to make it back to the playoffs, the club did get some solid performances in the kicking game.
Steelers make coaching-staff changes, but Arians stays on
The first coaching-staff shake-up of head coach Mike Tomlin's three-year tenure in Pittsburgh occurred in the week after the Steelers completed a disappointing campaign, but the changes did not include offensive coordinator Bruce Arians.
Steelers fire two assistants
The Steelers have fired special-teams coordinator Bob Ligashesky and OL coach Larry Zierlein, the club announced Thursday.
Steelers QB coach Anderson retires
Steelers QB coach Ken Anderson has retired, head coach Mike Tomlin said on Tuesday.
Steelers hold off Dolphins, stay alive
A swarming Steelers defense sent two Miami quarterbacks to the sideline, including Pat White with a scary head injury, and the reigning Super Bowl champions averted a late collapse to beat the Dolphins 30-24 Sunday.
Steelers' Woodley dominant in second half of '09
After a slow start to the 2009 campaign, Steelers LOLB LaMarr Woodley has been a force in the second half of the season, notching 9½ sacks in his final seven games while also being stout vs. the run.
The Steelers placed Miller on injured reserve Wednesday.||||||| Miller, who tore knee ligaments on Sunday, will have surgery on Thursday.
Miller had a season-high 97 yards and a touchdown in the Pittsburgh Steelers 23-20 win over Baltimore on Sunday.||||||| It appears that Miller is developing some early chemistry with the Steelers' current starting quarterback Charlie Batch. The tight end has 11 receptions in the two games Batch has started, nearly matching his 14 receptions from the four previous contests.
Miller caught four passes for 47 yards as Pittsburgh beat Kansas City 16-13 in overtime Monday night.||||||| While Miller has hauled in at least four receptions in all but one game this season, he doesn't offer much upside. His value also figures to take a hit with Ben Roethlisberger's status uncertain.
Miller had four catches for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Steelers' victory over the Redskins Sunday.||||||| Miller is clearly one of Ben Roethlisberger's favorite targets in the red zone. He has scores in back-to-back games, and six total on the season. Miller has at least three receptions in every game this season.
Miller had four receptions for 43 yards on Sunday.||||||| He is the eighth player in Steelers history to top 4,000 career receiving yards.

Road to Sochi: Team Oakley Athlete of the Week – Grete Eliassen
As many regions brace for the coming of winter, a handful of the world's elite athletes prepare to compete on sports' most prestigious global stage. The 2014 Winter Olympics are upon us and the remote region of Sochi, Russia is set to host the twenty-second edition of the biggest winter sporting event in the world. As the days until the Open Ceremony count down, we invite you to get to know some of the most passionate, fearless, determined and awe inspiring athletes, some of whom you will undoubtedly see on the podium come February. Each of these athletes strive to compete in Sochi as representatives of their home nations, but are bound together, despite national boundaries, as members of another exclusive team: #TeamOakley.
This week's Team Oakley Athlete of the week is one of the most influential women on skis, Grete Eliassen. Though the six-time X Games medalist has devoted most of the past couple years to riding in the backcountry and filming, with Slopestyle on the Olympic schedule, she's realigned her sights and is aiming to secure a spot on the US Team for Sochi. We caught up with Grete to see what's on her mind as the Games approach.
What would it mean to you to be an Olympian, representing your country this winter in Sochi?
It would be so awesome to be an Olympian. I still can't believe the sport of freeskiing is going to reach so many people. I have been in the ski industry for a long time and it's just so cool to see something you love so much become mainstream. As far as representing my country, I am excited, but for me it's more about the individual skier than which country they are from. But I will tell you about how good the snow in Utah is all day.
At what point did you set your sights on becoming an Olympian? When did you realize that goal was realistic?
When I was a little girl I was a skier racer and everyone dreams about being an Olympian. However, when I decided to stop ski racing and just follow my heart of having fun, I let that dream go. But after having fun for over 10 years now, the possibility of going to the Olympics is in front of me again. So I am going to continue to have fun and see if that takes me to the Olympics.
What is your favorite Olympic moment (personal or historic)?
My favorite part of the Olympics is all the women's sports that are televised. It's the Super Bowl of women's sports for me. So anytime I turned the TV on and I saw women's sports, those are my favorite Olympic moments.
What was your reaction when you learned that Freeski Slopestyle was being added to the Olympics? What changes did its being added to the Olympics bring to your competitive career (if any)?
Well, it meant I needed to take a break from skiing powder and filming for a couple years. I have always prided myself on being a well-rounded skier, but being a part of the first freeskiing Olympic movement doesn't come around that often. So I literally jumped onto the opportunity and joined the US Freeskiing Team.
You have an incredible array of accolades, but what would it mean to you to add an Olympic medal to your trophy case?
It's almost unimaginable. My mouth would be open in shock for a while.

I ordered Demeter's new Vanilla Cookie Dough scent and I got to say it's better than I expected. It lasts longer than Demeter's other scents and smells just like the name says. I thought it was going to smell like Demeter's CHocolate Chip Cookie but it has it's own smell. I was thinking of ordering another bottle of this even though I ordered the big 4 ounce bottle. YUMMY!

The Play-Doh! scent does not smell at first like Play-Doh! until it settles for a bit. Then it really smells like Play-Doh! The Play-Doh! smell doesn't seem to last long but becomes a nice sweet smell. I like it. It's still fun anyway!

Mazda 323
testtest1234 Posts: 1Try replacing the camshaft sensor in the distributor. As a test you can take the distributor off the engine, turn on the ignition key, spin the distributor and you should hear a click noise as it rotates, if not you probably need to replace it. You will see a cable coming out of the distributor with 3 wires, one ground, one 12V, and one 5V, use a voltmeter/multimeter to see if the 5 volt line gets pulled down to 0 as you rotate, you will probably need an analog voltmeter to see the pulse, but a digital may work.
Mark the distributor location before you pull it off otherwise you'll need to adjust the timing once you put it back on.
You may be able to just replace the sensor but I'm not sure. Replacing the entire distributor may be the only possibility.
If that shaft does not turn, it is much more likely you have a timing belt that has lost a few teeth and the cam shaft will not turn either!
Guys, heads up. This is a very old problem on these cars. Do a search on distributor at the top of this section. I have written a lot on it. Everything from removal, cleaning to controlling excessive oil flow is there. Oh, excessive oil flow is the number one reason for no spark!
Good luck. You master this problem, you have mastered one of the biggest pains in the 323 line up!
sewardsfolly Posts: 3It was a hot day in the bay area......car over heated on the freeway. I could feel the car depowering before I noticed the gauge pegged above the Hot end of the meter.
I turned the car off and coasted off the freeway and tried twice to reignite the engine in third gear going about 40 mph. The car sputtered but little or no power. Steam started rising out of the hood as I slowed down. Water appeared all over the engine when I raised the hood.
It took the car an hour to cool off.
Oil looks OK and the electrical is fine but it will not start. Starter tuns over but there is no sign of ignition at all. The tow truck driver suggested checking to see if the distributor is dry. I don't know how to even begin taking off the cap and my manual for the Mazda 323 is very limited in description.
Is it easy to just take off the distributor cap and allow any moisture to dry out? Any thing else I should check?
thacher Posts: 11Hi,
How are the front rotors removed from this vehicle. I'm getting conflicting instructions from my Chilton manual. One part says to remove caliper and then just slip the rotors off. Another section is telling me that I have to remove the whole knuckle assembly along with the hub, and bearings, and rotor and bring it in to a machine shop because it involves a bunch of specialized tools. Very confusing!
Anyone done this job?
Thank you,
scott7904 Posts: 1I have the same car and problem. I checked and its not getting spark. The plugs are good, the alternator is new, and the cap and wires are new. It did it last year when the weather started to get cold, then this year at the same time. First I replaced the ignition switch and it worked fine through the year for a while. But now its doing it again, just dies for no reason. If I wait for ten minutes it will start back up but then die again. Sometimes I can get to school and back without it dying. Did you ever figure out the problem on yours?
December 26th, 2011 310,000 mileage report. "89 Mazda 323 hatchback.
Still in service. Now currently is being alternated in and out of service every 6 months with the newer cars. Service period is during the winter months. Running 10-15K a year presently.
Overall, it has been a good unit but with higher than normal for Japanese vehicle requirements for service. Problem areas recently have been a poor connection that developed in the primary starter system. Negative battery terminal cable to transmission. Added another cable from negative on battery right to a starter motor bolt. It is also difficult to get a decent starter from the supply house. Had to make my own terminals for cable. No big deal there. Fires right up now.
Earlier posts show that this car is on second engine and tranny. Engine changed at 140K and tranny at 250K. Swapped tranny for a five speed. That is still the same status. Still on synthetic oil, and next to no oil leaks from engine. Tranny tends to have to have output shafts seals replaced. I still have one on my to do list. 2nd A/c is an aftermarket unit from factoryaire.com. It has to be gassed each beginning of when the heat comes in. A little slime in the older tires....rolling right along. Every else is regular maintenance.
Current materials being tested on this vehicle. Slime in one tire. Silicone spray on cv boots.
No, I would not buy another Mazda at this point.
Other than that, just trying to suck the last good mile out of it.
Still going strong on my end, passed the car onto a friend and they have another 50k plus. Purchased for $550. in 2000 and found this board & girlcarbuilder should be passed on as well. Initially ran fine but, thought I would shop for parts, on the & cheap over time. Some front end parts, timing belt, water pump, wheel bearings, ect knew the starter was a bit weak but, did not like choices locally.Starter only recently died & changed out after a near 100,000 and new radiator-Only probs for new owner. Says tranny seems weak and will not do 75-80 mph freeways...60mph is about comfort top speed where no strain is felt. Auto tranny.
Mainly safety was an issue for myself.
viking88 Posts: 1My problem is that the car is not starting any more.
The security light is not flashing; it is off. It should be flashing to indicate that the immobilizer system is activated.
When the key is turned and the ignition is ON, the security light is flashing - strong light. Turning the key further on to START does not start the engine.
According to the alternative procedure for deactivating the immobilizer, the key shall in short be turned on for ignition five time. Herein after one should wait for a number of flashes on the security light. The problem is that the security light is not flashing at all.
Have any experienced a similar problem? Any tips & tricks are welcome.
Thank you.
Kind regards,
sschmid Posts: 28What a great little car this was. But sadly rust has beated it. It will no longer pass inspection. We tried several stations! The engine is as peppy as the day we got it 8 year and 100K ago. In those 8 years it went back and forth from NY to Fla.3 times with my son to college. Other than normal tune-ups and breaks and a new clutch it never gave us any trouble. We were sorry to have to drive it to the scrap yard where they gave us $275 for it. We bought this car hoping to have it last till my son graduated and got a job and a newer car that he could afford. He ended up getting 2 degrees while driving it an now can buy a new one. RIP lil blue mazda.
papoh3 Posts: 1Hi,--I'm new to the site, so please..bare with me. I have a 1989 323 hatchback 1.6 (base). My problem is that the vehicle never had backup lights since i bought it, but now I went and bought a switch because the old switch someone had cut the wires right at the switch.. so My problem is that I can not see in the engine compartment where the switch gets connected to. they are no connectors to match the connector on the switch. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you and happy holidays to all--with a very fruitfull new years.
Okay, I do not know what transmission you have! I am not sure on the automatic, because we have a manual trans here. Most auto trans have the reverse light and the neutral shift switch right on the shifter assembly. That could be on top or front side of the unit. The manual is accessible from front below of car on drivers side.
Now, according to the factory wiring manual, it appears to have a wiring harness going to the front lower part of the transmission. I walked out and looked at the spare unit here. There is a switch there that you can reach from under neath. Also there is another switch near the shifter, I suspect it may be the netraul safety switch? Odd. Never had to deal with it in 314K miles.
Anyway, I checked the circuit layout. It has fuse, switch and light bulbs...period and simple enough! So if you can light the bulbs with a jumper and have 12 volts at the cut wire from underneath, good. Two conductors involved. You may have to come up with some kind of tab connectors, male/female as it applies. I recommend you soldier it and cover with heat shrink tubing. Before applying 12 volts to the back lights, you may want to be sure with an ohm meter that nothing is shorted out in the back.
dependable Posts: 1">This has been an incredible little car! I originally purchased it to get me by after I totalled a nice Acura (my fault) after 25 years of no accidents. I didn't want to make payments and could just pay cash for this car. That was several years ago. I really did plan on selling it shortly afterwards. However, it is the best little city car I could have ever asked for. I fill it up every other week, the insurance is $32 a month, and it keeps on going and going and going. It's great in the snow and great for getting around the city. Yes, it's a Go-Cart.
yup.....we still have an 89 in service at 316K miles with 5 speed. Second driveline. The maintenance is touchy, but as long as it is carefully done it serves well. The little 323 comes out to play in winter time while the newer Toyota's go into storage for a rest.
Every time I bring her out she is happy to hit the bricks and run. When I put the cruise on.....she just purrs right along just fine. I expect she will easily hit 30 years of age and still be very serviceable. The only reason she has a local service restriction is because of her age and parts availability. She is very capable of hitting open interstate.
I met one of her sisters recently in Midwest City, OK. Just like her at 189K on original engine. Also a 5 speed. We have been sold on that driveline compliment for years now. 1.5/1.6 liter with a five speed. Even looking in junkyards, that is what i see that lasts and lasts. I would be surprised if you told me you had an automatic after all of these years without a major overhaul of the tranny.
Keep her.....check my old posts. I have factory manuals. You will find a lot written about the 86-89 years. A lot applies to the newer years as well. I still respond at times.
RIP to the above author car, "Little Blue" Our gray one now sports a blue hood after it took a deer out to lunch! I would rather use a smaller bullet next time!
Ditto-passed my car onto a friend. He had to replace flywheel, his falt for bad starter job. A few months rest back on the road! Serves him well.
It does have auto tranny, but, not much over 110k and very tight. Temp sensitive to shift into overdrive when cold...and maybe some little periods on freeway. Infrequent, yet reoccurring.
Must be 15 yrs since purchase @$500. I found some parts auction years back and stocked up slowly and installed for $200. and then the common distributor (sensor?) I forget but, only problems. 86,000 @ purchase.
Funny as I just noted post in e-mail as I was talking to him about the car...
Okay.....back to basics. Takes four things for that engine to run. Fuel, air, spark and timing. Have you checked for spark first before pulling the coil and ignitor. When was the plugs, wires and cap/rotor replaced last? If I recall correctly there is on the 4 cylinder engine a plastic cover over the electronics in the distributor under the rotor. Is that part in place. Does it have any cracks in it. Short of lack of info from you I have little to suggest, but the basics. What engine, trans and mileage are you dealing with.
Also, try putting into the search engine in this forum.....distributor, no start, no spark if you know for sure there is no spark. To test for spark, take a plug wire off, install on a new plug and lay near something metal that is grounded. Do not hold or touch while cranking, it could be the very last thing you do! Look closely at the plug end for a spark. If it sparks, ignition system is not your problem.
The car has 165k miles it has the 1.6L L4 engine, manual.
I took it to a mechanic (that had a high rating on Yelp) who after 1 1/2 weeks, basically did everything I did and is charging me 130 for diagnosis. He said there are 4 things that could be causing the no spark the ignition coil , pickup coil, ECU, or distributor.
We both swapped out the ignition coil box and pick up coil he did swap out the distributor still nothing. He's now sending me home with my car still not working , 130 bill and suggestion to go to local Pick and pull and get an ECU.
Does this sound accurate to you? BTW we did the spark plug test and it had a spark. Think the ECU is behind the dash, he told me it was under the carpet on passenger side. Thank you for any help to get my lil zippy back on the road.
Oh one more thing, the Mechanic stated, if it were the timing we'd hear this loud sound when turning the key.

A woman was hospitalized Friday night after police say she was struck by a vehicle outside the Avenue at White Marsh.
At about 8:25 p.m. police received a call reporting a fight over a parking spot near Staples at the Honeygo Boulevard shopping center. Within minutes, police received several more calls reporting that an adult female had been struck by a vehicle and that the vehicle had fled the scene, according to Cpl. John Wachter, a Baltimore County police spokesman.
The woman was taken by ambulance with non-life threatening injuries to Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center, Wachter said.
No further information on the suspect vehicle or victim was available as of 9:30 p.m. The investigation into the incident and possible connection between the fight and hit-and-run is ongoing, he said.

Theatre and Dance
Theatre and Dance occupies a central place in Wooster's cultural life and draws on the creative energies of many students, both majors and non-majors. Each season offers students opportunities to develop their skills as writers, performers, directors, designers, technicians, or dancers. Wooster offers a broad base in the liberal arts on which to build a theatre and dance focus on the artist/scholar model. That model informs the department's wide-ranging production season and course offerings. The small college atmosphere provides a chance for close interaction with faculty from all departments and gives many students the chance to participate in both Freedlander and Shoolroy Theatres on campus.
Women of Ciudad JuÁrez
written by Cristina Michaus
directed and translated by Jimmy A. Noriega
Women of Ciudad Juárez uses the theatre as a space to examine, reflect on, and speak about the femicides taking place in Juárez, Mexico, where since 1993 hundreds of women--including factory workers, indigenous women, and your girls--have been brutally raped, tortured, and murdered. Read more.
