Yummy Yummy Yummy – Great food, plenty in a serving, They bring a pickled onion and carrot mix that is very very good. Sea food is great as well. Highly recommended very friendly staff.
Horrible – This is NOT authentic Mexican food unless they use Campbell's tomato soup in their sauces in Mexico! There was nothing good about the food. The salsa was obviously a canned tomato puree and maybe ketsup? We will NEVER EVER go back!!!!! $25 wasted!!!!!!! Go to Rigoberto's up the street or Los Volcanes in downtown Gladstone instead!!!!!!!
No Bueno – Maybe we caught them on a bad night... My wife and I both walked out of there and agreed that is was just awful. I had the chicken fajitas and they were at best very bland. Even the tortillas tasted wrong. My wife had the veggie burrito and didn't like it at all. The decor is weird. It kinda looks like a Motel 6 conference room. The tables are just plastic folding tables and the chairs seem like old office chairs bought on the cheap from a bankrupt business. The banner out front has long been shredded. For being a proud family run business, I would expect a much higher level of pride in the appearance and of course the food.
Best Service and Food Around – Taco Loco has been a family favorite for years the service is incredible they really go the extra mile to make you feel comfortable. The food is wonderful, real Mexican food so when you order the tacos they are the small ones, exactly what you find in mexico. They also have a full bar, although there is no bar to sit at they offer a full bar and the drinks are perfect. The menu is affordable and the lunch specials are outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant.

A "Sink" is run with 2" waste, 1.5" trap arm and vent. Kitchen, Laundry Tray
The "Lav" can be 1.5" for everything. A lavatory in a bathroom.
And even for lavs; when the second basin is added, the code bumps you to 2"
Can I have a bath sink and a garage utility sink draining into a 1.5" drain?
Photo #2 is looking the opposite way as photo #1.
I'm rethinking my garage utility sink install. I posted a question about 2 weeks ago concerning that. Have another question. Attached are two photos of my main stack in basement. The 1.5" I have labeled in red is showing the drain for a 1st floor bath sink that eventually ties into the 2" before the stack.
In photo #2, the garage is on the other side of the wall to the left of photo.
In photo #1, can I connect the garage utility sink drain to the 1.5" that is horizontal right above the I-Beam(using a wye)?
Or do I have to extend the 2" a little and cut in a 2 x 2 x 1.5 wye where the run of the wye would pick up the existing bath sink and the tap of the wye would pick up the garage utility?
As a note I will be using an AAV to vent the garage utility and the length of 1.5" shown in the basement photo is about 14 feet. Then there is probably another 5 feet of 1.5" in the wall to the bath sink.

An inspector would want to see the laundry sink run with 2" until the vent and trap arm.
A 2" pipe is twice the volume of a 1.5" pipe.
A 3" pipe is the same as two 2" pipes and one 1.5" pipe.
Lav, 1.0 DFU
Lavs, in sets of two or three, 2.0 DFU
Kitchen or Laundry sink, 2.0 DFU
Bar sink, 1.0 DFU

But if a garage sink has to be all 2" thats not a big deal.
Thanks again

What you personally intend for the use of any given plumbing fixture is immaterial, in the eyes of Plumbing Correctness. The building,
and its plumbing system, will usually see a lengthy series of occupants, and highly varied use patterns.
someone went to a lot of trouble to post that, but in his case, it is more likely that he will use a "laundry tray" rather than a service sink, even though both require the same drainage according to the chart. Even if he uses a "kitchen sink" on a cabinet, the drain requirement would not change.
Licensed residential and commercial plumber
Gee I'm sorry. IPC Code
I was going by how we plumb on the West Coast.
And this is why West Coast plumbers laugh about the plumbing on the East Coast. I know when I visited my brother in Virginia, everything seemed undersized. Maybe that's why you guys get so good at running snake equipment.
West Coast plumbing is 1 DFU for 1.5" horizontal and 8 DFU for 2" horizontal
2 DFU for 1.5 vertical and 16 DFU for 2" vertical
Here is a suggestion I received off site:
cut the 1-1/2 line to the lav out of the way and run 2 inch all the way towards the garage for the garage sink. Then pickup the lav drain with a 2x1-1/2x1-1/2 wye where it turns towards the foam in pic 2. That way I only have one line in that bay and would be much easier than trying to run another line next to the line that picks up the lav. I like this suggestion. Thanks Dan
Last edited by Hammerlane; 10-23-2012 at 10:10 AM.
If the lav is on the way to the laundry tray, and 2" is being run there, then it's common to cut in a 2" x 1.5" combo or wye fitting for the lav as you pass by it.
2" x 2" x 1.5" combo.
End, end, side inlet
I think the plan will be:
-cut out The majority of the existing 1.5" for the lav sink--highlighted in green in the photo below.
-the laundry sink for garage will come thru rim joist where the blue circle is in the photo--- between the two water lines which are wrapped in foam
-run all 2" to the laundry sink in the garage and the pick up the lav sink with a 2 x 2 x 1.5 wye.
-I probably should put a cleanout on the the end run of the 2"
Here's a mock up of what we're gonna do after Cutting out most of the 1.5" and then use the below setup for the 2" garage sink and to pick up the 1.5" lav sink.
Any comments appreciated.
That, or you may be able to wye off on the vertical too. Are the sinks above? Or straight out the wall?
I see from the previous post that they will revent at 42" above the floor before going out through the roof. Or if you use an AAV for the two of them, you can get an accessible box with grill if installing in-wall.
I prefer popping through the roof, but I don't know what you have above that.
Sometimes it's easier to work down, and connect in the basement last.

Marshall football: Mike Furrey reportedly joining Herd staff
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. -- It looks like Marshall University has found another assistant football coach, one with eight seasons of NFL playing experience.
Mike Furrey has resigned as head coach at NAIA Kentucky Christian University and reportedly is headed to Marshall. Tim Carper, sports broadcaster for WUGO Radio and KCU Sports Radio, tweeted the news this morning. KCU Athletic Director Bruce Dixon confirmed that Furrey had resigned, but could not say where he was headed.
Furrey spent his collegiate and most of his pro career at wide receiver. The Thundering Herd is looking for a wideouts coach after Gerad Parker left to become tight ends coach and recruiting coordinator at Purdue.
A Hilliard, Ohio native, Furrey walked on to the Ohio State football team in 1995, then transferred to Northern Iowa in 1997. He sits second in career receptions (242), third in career yards (3,544) and fifth in career touchdowns (27) in Gateway/Missouri Valley Conference history.
Furrey joined the Indianapolis Colts as an undrafted free agent in 2000, but was waived at the end of training camp. After one season with the XFL's Las Vegas Outlaws and two seasons with the Arena Football League's New York Dragons, he returned to the NFL, where he played for the St. Louis Rams, Detroit Lions and Cleveland Browns as both wide receiver and safety. He led the Rams with four interceptions in 2005, and also led the NFC with 98 catches for the Lions in 2006.
He was named the Cleveland Browns' Ed Block Courage Award winner in 2009, and was a finalist in 2010 for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award for his work with the Mike Furrey Foundation, which advocates for the basic needs of all people to be met.
Furrey retired in 2010 after suffering a career-ending concussion during the Washington Redskins' training camp.
He spent two seasons at KCU, leading the Knights to a 4-7 record in 2011, then a 7-4 record in 2012, winning five of their last six games.

Artificial arm, Northampton, England, 1895-1904
A female pianist who had her arm amputated below the elbow used this artificial arm. A blocked leather socket is connected by jointed side steels to a long leather upper arm corset with four strap and buckle fastenings. The arm has a shaped wooden oval wrist with detachable wooden hand. The design has a wide finger spread. The index, middle and ring fingers are shorter than normal. There is also a padded thumb and little finger. This allowed the wearer to span an octave while playing the piano. She played the piano while wearing the arm at the Royal Albert Hall in 1906. It was made by Mr Royden of Abingdon Street in Northampton, England, c. 1904.

I'm feeding them egg yolk now and about 15 have survived was doing the egg yolk wrong for the first few days so lost alot of the fry but thats a good experience for my next spawn.
The reason i can't get brineshrimp is becose it costs 50 bucks for the smallest batch of eggs then hatchery equipment are not included, it cost this much from the shipping fee alone, it's either buy online or drive for 4 hours to a store that sell eggs.
Now i wonder at what age the fry can survive longer without food, i want to go see my mother so ill be gone a whole weekend but i can't leave until the fry are able to survive with 2 feeds a day at 10 am and 8 pm, the time i feed all my adult fish in my tanks.
micro worm cultures are handy for those unexpected spawnsAs I get older I find myself thinking about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.

Kristen Stewart's Parents to Divorceby Free Britney at .
When it rains, it pours for Kristen Stewart.
The Breaking Dawn star's parents, Jules and John Stewart, are calling it quits. The former filed for divorce on August 17, ending their 27-year marriage.
Jules cited irreconcilable differences for the split. As for the date of separation, she says they have been estranged since back in June of 2010.
They have two sons, Taylor and Cameron, in addition to Kristen.
K-Stew's parents both work in film production Jules as a writer/director and John as a producer and stage manager. She has not commented on the split.
The news comes just weeks after an affair between married director Rupert Sanders and Kristen Stewart rocked the celebrity gossip world.
Kristen's straying likely marked the end of a storybook romance with Robert Pattinson, though both have been tight-lipped since her public mea culpa.

Title: Torero. Study for Le Tricorne
Artist: Pablo Picasso
Medium: Oil Painting on Canvas
Processing Time: 15-20 Business Days Before Shipping
Pablo Ruiz y Picasso, known as Pablo Picasso (Spanish: [ˈpaβlo piˈkaso]; 25 October 1881 – 8 April 1973) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, and stage designer who spent most of his adult life in France. As one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century, he is widely known for co-founding the Cubist movement, the invention of constructed sculpture, the co-invention of collage, and for the wide variety of styles that he helped develop and explore. Among his most famous works are the proto-Cubist Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907), and Guernica (1937), a portrayal of the German bombing of Guernica during the Spanish Civil War.
Picasso, Henri Matisse and Marcel Duchamp are commonly regarded as the three artists who most defined the revolutionary developments in the plastic arts in the opening decades of the 20th century, responsible for significant developments in painting, sculpture, printmaking and ceramics.

SONY MDR-XB30EX-B Black | In-Ear EXTRA BASS Headphones (Japanese Import)
"I bought this at the Sony Store and regretted by purchase for the first two days. They were very dull sounding. I found myself searching for eq setting to get some high frequency response.

A trademark's enforceability hinges on whether the public is likely to associate a word or mark with a given company -- in other words, when you hear the word "super-hero," if you think "Marvel and DC," then Marvel will be able to go on censoring and eliminating its competition.
One way of accomplishing this dirty bit of mind-control is by adding a ™ symbol after the word "Super-Hero." That TM lets the world know that you claim ownership over the word it accompanies. If you can get other people to do it, too, eventually you may in fact get the world to believe that the word is your property -- and then, it becomes your property.
"Super-hero" isn't Marvel's property. They didn't invent the term. They aren't the only users of the term. It's a public-domain word that belongs to all of us. Adding a ™ to super-hero is a naked bid to steal "super-hero" from us and claim it for their own.
The latest trick in its move to steal the word is using the ™ symbol in the bumpf for its California science centre show -- they've recruited a science museum to help them steal "super-hero."
Here's a proposal: from now on, let's never use the term "super-hero" to describe a Marvel character. Let's call them "underwear perverts" -- as Warren Ellis is wont to -- or vigilantes, or mutants. Let's reserve the term "super-hero" exclusively to describe the heros of comics published by companies that aren't crooked word-thieves.
I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

- Product Care
GORE-TEX® Outerwear Care:
Cleaning your GORE-TEX® garments regularly will extend the life of the product. It will also keep them breathable as dirt and oil can clog the GORE-TEX® membrane over time.
It is critical to wash jackets. Natural oils can damage the GORE-TEX® tape and adhesives causing a peeling effect.
Machine wash warm. Do not use fabric softener or bleach.
Remember to zip all pockets and close all Velcro cuffs before washing to prevent any damage caused by the machine.
Tumble dry on warm setting making sure not to use a high heat setting. Drying on warm will actually reactivate the DWR coating.

GORE-TEX® Performance Shell outerwear is waterproof, lightweight, durable and breathable. It's designed to provide excellent, long-lasting performance in a wide range of conditions.
The AquaGuard® VISLON® zipper is a revolutionary new design from the global leader in containment closures. The AquaGuard® VISLON® zipper's new tooth design provides enhanced fluid repellency vs. coil or standard individual element closures, while increasing the number of design and color options for your application.

- Great Rain Jacket and Windstopper! Review by Redfisher
OverallGreat jacket to keep you dry! Fits a little big but nothing to complain about. Its super comfy and does exactly what its suppose to do. Great Windstopper and keeps the rain off. The catch camo/gun metal looks amazing in person! Another great product from Simms!

- Exactly what it says it is, exactly what I wanted. Runs BIG. Review by Tom
OverallIts simple. This is a high quality, cross over fishing shell. Long enough to cover down to my hips, hood fits my ski helmet, and no pockets to catch my oars. Its is expensive, but it works, and it lasts.
It is cut very generously. I am usually a large (long arms). Medium fit me best. The Large fit me like a XL.

- Great jacket Review by Draggin' Tubes
OverallAwesome jacket. Runs a bit on the large side, which is good since you can layer underneath. I hate jackets that are insulated, preferring to layer everything to adjust to changing temperatures throughout the day. Only reason it got 4 stars is because I haven't tested it in weather yet. Lots of faith in Simms/Gore-Tex though.

- perfect jacket for nasty weather Review by steelie D
OverallI just got this jacket, the gunbarrel color not the camo one, for a trip to the Oly Pen. it rained all 4 days I fished and floated, and this jacket is awesome. shedded the rain, brush, bushes perfectly, and the jacket feels almost as light and comfy as my arcteryx ski shell, but more bomber...plus it has a super comfy neck and chin protection, with a full coverage adjustable hood that you can tuck away under a Velcro tab... the wrist closures are big and perfect for gloves, and the pockets are low profile which I like since I wear a chest pack... i'm normally rowing a driftboat or pontoon and the less fabric/bulk on my front the better...I find that sometimes extra pockets like to grab oar handles... I HIGHLY recommend this jacket.

Wayzata >Food & Dining > Gianni's Steakhouse
635 Lake St E, Wayzata, MN | Directions 5539144.969485 -93.513052
Mon - Fri, 4pm - 11pm; Sat, 5pm - 12am; Sun, 4pm - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Plymouth - Wayzata
Totally overpriced - myself and wife $160!!! Totally tasteless steaks - will never go back
Wonderful Experience – I was blown away! Best steak I've ever had. Our server told us they only serve prime and all steaks are cut in-house. It was very busy and that added to the charm. Loved the new decor and the white table cloths give the dining room a rich feel. Our cocktails were very ample, the new Captains Wine List was impressive and the pricing on higher end wines were almost a $100 a bottle cheaper than other steakhouses in town. Our server could not have been more attentive and knowledgable. One member of our party wanted a hamburger from the bar menu and reported that it was the best one he's ever had. Found out Gianni's grinds their own hamburger from the steak trimmings. We tried some of the new desserts and loved the Italian Panacotta with sea salt caramel topping. The buzz around town is that Gianni's is rejuvenated in large part to the new owner. I'd highly recommend this restaurant. Great experience. I can hardly wait to try them for lunch.
Probably won't go back – Let me list the good first...The wait person was wonderful. She was very friendly and helpful. Also, the salad made at the table was very good.
Now, the not so good. Had reservations on a very busy night. Very busy and crowded that night and all the people waiting were stuffed at the front of the restaurant. To add to that the wait staff or bus people were winding through the waiting mass of people with their huge trays. Very strange. To add to that madness, the person seating approached us 4 or 5 times saying our table was almost ready. Finally, we were seated. Not a bad meal, it was just okay. Too expensive for such a noisy, poorly run restaurant.
Ouch!!!! – Only go if you like overpriced, mediocre food and being abused by the wait staff! At our table of 4, when the assistant to our waiter brought our food out, a couple of itmes were missing. When we relayed this to her, she threw her hands up, said "I just deliver the food!" and walked away before we could say anything more. We heard nothing for a while, she finally came back with the miss ing items and was extremely rude again. For as much money as wepaid, we did not deserve such rude treatment. We won't be going back.
Fabulous – After reading reviews, I would not have chosen this place for dinner. I was invited to an anniversary party so there was no choice. The ribeye was fabulous!! Asparagus prepared perfectly! Potatoes excellent! Cocktail? Perfect old fashioned. There were 20 in our group so a variety of foods were experienced. Everyone was extremely pleased. This is a special place, I will definitely go there again. Oh, and I have very high standards. Hands down, they passed.
Awful – The place tries to be a Mini-Manny's and completely misses the mark. It's like shooting a free throw and not hitting any rim. Runny creamed spinach, inedible clams, so-so steak, servers with a lame I-got-attitude tired game and limp expensive steaks. The playing card/ acoustical tile ceiling speaks to them just not getting it. No charm, no service, and no flavor. Why can't Wayzata get some decent food?
Major Disappointment – Diehard Manny's fan, told by numerous to try Gianni's. Man is this place overrated. Went on a Monday night, dining room was 1/3 full. Server was invisible and the "house specialty" Bone in Filet was a complete joke. Ordered it med. rare, came out burnt and medium, all this for $42. Table side salad is overrated. Tried to complain to the hostess but she was too busy clearing tables. For what is considered an upscale restaurant in an upscale area of town this place was sure a disappointment. The $200 bill didn't ease the pain any either. For this kind of quality and service you're better off going to Outback.
Best steakhouse on a lake! – Make a reservation this summer. Right off Lake Minnetonka.
Great bar, great food, huge salads!
Great for business dinners!
Downtown Wayzata restaurant is for big appetites and big spenders. – In Short
An understated, but definite moneyed feel in the dining room includes honey-colored wood booths with etched glass panels above that separate, and velvety seat cushions below that soften. While Frank Sinatra croons over the sound system, carnivores dig into Gianni's juicy Delmonico rib eye, shrimp scampi and peppery grilled pork chops. Side orders are for sharing: mashed potatoes, cheese-stuffed hash browns.
Love it here – This is a terrific place to get a steak. Fantastic salads too. Try it out.

Parsons header lifts ORU over SHSU, 2-1, in double-overtime
HUNTSVILLE, Texas. – Jordan Parsons scored the golden goal in double-overtime to lift the Oral Roberts University women's soccer team to its third overtime victory of the season as the Golden Eagles defeated Sam Houston State, 2-1.
ORU improved to 12-4 overall and 7-2 in Southland Conference play, while the Bearkats fell to 6-8-1 overall and 4-4 in league play.
The Bearkats struck first in the 49th minute as Shannon Shields scored off the left post from six yards out, following a forward header by Ashley Alonzo.
However, for the second time in as many matches, a Golden Eagle was fouled in the box, setting up a Jennifer Abernathy penalty kick. The senior had no problem converting the attempt, scoring her eighth goal of the season to tie the game with 15 minutes remaining.
In the first overtime period, the Bearkats controlled the ball as they rattled off six shots. Fortunately, the roles reversed in the second OT, setting up the game-winner by Parsons, as the senior placed the header in the net for the goal.
Freshman Tahlor Lyman was credited with the assist on the golden goal.
Parsons finished the match with three shots on goal to lead the Golden Eagles, while Shields had two on target for the Bearkats.
Maddie Rhodes earned her seventh victory of the season as she sent back five Bearkat shots, including a key save in the first overtime period. Her counterpart, Kylie Hambleton, recorded seven saves in the loss.
The Golden Eagles will close the regular season with a three-match conference home stand, starting with Central Arkansas at 7 p.m. on Friday. On Sunday, ORU hosts Northwestern State at 1 p.m. and close the season with a date against McNeese State on Nov. 1.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Apr 13, 2012
One-in-five adults do not use the internet. The difference between that group and the majority of Americans who do go online remains strongly correlated with age, education, and household income, which are the strongest positive predictors of internet use.
Certain aspects of the current internet population still strongly resemble the state of internet adoption in 2000, when one of Pew Internet's first reports found that minorities, adults living in households with lower incomes, and seniors were less likely than others to be online.
Yet while gaps in internet adoption persist, some have narrowed in the past decade. The internet access gap closest to disappearing is that between whites and minorities. Differences in access persist, especially in terms of adults who have high-speed broadband at home, but they have become significantly less prominent over the years.
Almost half of adults don't use the internet because they don't think the it is relevant to them -- often saying they don't want to use the internet and don't need to use it to get the information they want or conduct the communication they want.

Mel Riddick isn't sure what is going to happen with the athletic director position at Dieruff High School but he has served the school on an interim basis for more than a month now and has done well with a tough situation in the aftermath of the administrative suspension of Tim Geiger.
"We're getting done what we need to get done," Riddick said. "Vilma Almanza is the office secretary and she has just been outstanding to work with. She's incredible. Because of her this has been an enjoyable experience."
He was Dieruff's head wrestling coach for the five seasons and a wrestling assistant for another 12.
He was a freshman football coach for four years and the head track coach for four years.
He has also been a wrestling official.
Riddick represented the school on Thursday at the Lehigh Valley Conference Student-Athlete Character and Sportsmanship media session and spoke well on the topic of character.
"The discussion we had ... on character is something I truly believe in and it's the thing that can turn around any program," Riddick said. "You have to instill character and respect.
"What I've learned in my time on this job is that you need to be prepared and you also have to be ready to fly by the seat of your pants at times. There are a lot of adjustments to make on a daily basis."
Riddick said he has enjoyed the opportunity to work with his coaches, other athletic directors and officials.
"Having been an official is a plus because I have an idea of what needs to be done to accommodate them," Riddick said. "It's important to show the officials respect. If we do that as athletic directors, it will rub off on the players."
The Wall2Wall 12&under boys basketball team won the York Ballers tournament on Sunday and now have a 32-0 record this spring and seven tournament titles.
The squad features players from districts throughout the Lehigh Valley. The roster includes:
Justin Paz (ESYC), Justin Rockmore (ESYC), Chico Whyte (ESYC), Isaiah Graves (ESYC), Alex Serrano (Canes), Jahan Dotson (Nazareth), Jay Vaughan (St. Thomas More), Aidan Ellwood (Northampton), Daniel Bonge (Salisbury), Kevin Kern (Saucon Valley) and Mikey Esquilin (Hokendauqua).
"They're playing some real good basketball," said coach Chuck Rockmore. "For only having been together since March, they're doing phenomenal. They're just starting to jell together. They're just starting to talk to each other.
"We're ranked No. 6 on the East Coast by Basketball Spotlight. We had Jalen Cannon and Darrun Hilliard as sixth-graders and I think this group is better than that group was, and that's saying something. What is nice is that these kids come from different towns and ethnic backgrounds and they play so well together. They are something to see."
The team has a big tournament in Neptune, N.J., this weekend and is hoping to raise funds for a national tournament in Hampton, Va., July 23-29.
To help, send donations to Wall2Wall Youth Network, P.O. Box 1488, Allentown PA, 18105-1488 or contact Rockmore at 610-570-4835.
Riddick has been up to the challenge at Dieruff

CHICAGO, May 6, 2008—The nation's push to increase the use of carbon-free energy technologies is coupled with unprecedented electric infrastructure needs. These requirements make it imperative that private and public sectors rise to the challenge of building new nuclear plants, industry leaders said here today at the Nuclear Energy Institute's annual conference.
"No matter who is elected president in November, it seems clear that climate change will dominate the national debate over energy and environmental policy in 2009 and beyond," said NEI President and Chief Executive Officer Frank L. (Skip) Bowman. "Whether you believe the scientific evidence justifies mandatory controls on carbon or not, there is one fact on which we can all agree: There is no credible strategy to address the conundrum of climate change and increasing electricity demand unless nuclear power is part of the portfolio."
Bowman said that analyses conducted by the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the International Energy Agency, the Electric Power Research Institute and other entities have a common finding: "All point unmistakably toward nuclear power as a strategic part of the portfolio of technologies required to reduce carbon emissions."
Bowman's remarks come less than a month before the U.S. Senate is expected to begin floor debate on the leading climate change bill pending in Congress, the Climate Security Act co-sponsored by Sens. Joe Lieberman and John Warner.
Nuclear power plants operating in 31 states provide more than 70 percent of all U.S. electricity that comes from sources that do not emit greenhouse gases or controlled pollutants covered by the Clean Air Act.
Bowman urged the conference's 400-plus attendees to "fill the gaps" between reality and myths surrounding energy issues, saying, "We can fill the gaps with facts."
"We have gaps between the scale of investment required to rebuild our electric infrastructure and state and federal policymakers' perception of that scale," Bowman said. "We have gaps between the policy support that will be required to meet electricity demand in a carbon-constrained world and what some federal and state politicians are currently prepared to provide."
An estimated $1 trillion in capital investment is needed between now and 2020 for new electric generating capacity, new transmission and distribution systems, energy efficiency programs and environmental controls.
"That does not include the potential costs of controls on carbon. Unlike fine wine, this problem will not get better as it ages," Bowman said.
Meeting the electric sector's huge investment needs will require a partnership between the private and public sectors, he said.
"The modest loan guarantee program authorized by the 2005 Energy Policy Act was a step in the right direction, but it does not represent a sufficient response to the urgent need to rebuild our critical electric power infrastructure. We may need something new and different and more expansive," Bowman said. He cited as an example Sen. Pete Domenici's proposal to create a "clean energy bank," a government corporation that would ensure that capital flows to critical infrastructure development in the electric sector.
NEI Chairman John Rowe, the chairman, president and CEO of Chicago-based Exelon Corp., similarly called on industry leaders to inform policymakers about the challenges of building multibillion-dollar nuclear plants. While progress is being made in areas like firming up construction and commodity cost estimates, stabilizing the new-plant licensing process, and developing a diverse future work force and nuclear-grade supply chain, uncertainties remain.
"We must be honest about what we know and what we do not know," Rowe said.
While the task of building new nuclear power plants is "not easy," the need for a substantial increase in carbon-free electricity generation makes it vital that industry and government meet the challenges ahead, he said.
"We need 25 to 30 new nuclear plants just to start on the problem. To make a dent in carbon emissions, we need several times that."
Failure to build large new power plants threatens the long-term health of the U.S. economy, Rowe warned.
Simply put, there is a growing need for new baseload generating capacity. This nation cannot afford to use natural gas as virtually its sole fuel," he said, adding that technology capable of capturing carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants is "a long time away."
The nuclear energy industry's world-class performance over the past several years provides a solid platform for a new era of nuclear plant construction, Rowe said.
U.S. nuclear power plants in 2007 posted record highs in electricity production and efficiency. U.S. nuclear plants generated approximately 806 billion kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity last year, exceeding by more than two percent the previous record-high set in 2004. Nuclear energy generates nearly 20 percent of total U.S. electricity supply, even though nuclear power plants constitute only about 10 percent of electric generating capacity.
The 104 reactors also achieved a record-setting average capacity factor. The 2007 average of 91.8 percent surpassed the 2004 record of 90.1 percent. Capacity factor is the ratio of electricity actually produced compared to the theoretical maximum electricity a power plant can produce operating at full power year-round.
The industry's average electricity production cost—encompassing expenses for uranium fuel and operations and maintenance—also set a record low last year. The average production cost was 1.68 cents/kwh in 2007, besting the previous low of 1.72 cents/kwh set in 2005, according to preliminary data.
Within the past year, nine license applications for as many as 15 possible new reactors have been filed with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and between seven and 11 more license applications are expected to be filed this year.

Edward Gibbon (April 27, 1737 (O.S.) (May 8, 1737 (N.S.)) - January 16, 1794) was arguably the most influential historian since the time of Tacitus. His magnum opus, The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, published between 1776 and 1788, is a groundbreaking work whose influence endures to this day.

Philip Elliott / The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Congressional inaction could end up costing college students an extra $5,000 on their new loans.
A Stanford University student walks in front of Hoover Tower on campus in Palo Alto, Calif., in this 2012 photo, Congressional inaction could end up costing college students an extra $5,000 on their new loans.
The rate for subsidized Stafford loans is set to increase from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent on July 1, just as millions of new college students start signing up for fall courses. The difference between the two rates adds up to $6 billion.
Just a year ago, lawmakers faced a similar deadline and dodged the rate increase amid the heated presidential campaign between President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney. But that was with the White House up for grabs and before Washington was consumed by budget standoffs that now seem routine.
"What is definitely clear, this time around, there doesn't seem to be as much outcry," said Justin Draeger, president of the National Association of Student Financial Aid Administrators. "We're advising our members to tell students that the interest rates are going to double on new student loans, to 6.8 percent."
The new rates apply only to those who take new subsidized loans. Students with outstanding subsidized loans are not expected to see their loan rates increase unless they take out a new subsidized Stafford loan. Students' nonsubsidized loans are not expected to change, nor are loans from commercial lenders.
But it translates to real money for incoming college freshmen who could end up paying back $5,000 more for the same maxed-out student loans their older siblings have.
House Education Committee Chairman John Kline, R-Minn., and the committee's senior Democrat, George Miller of California, prefer to keep rates at their current levels but have not outlined how they might accomplish that goal. Rep. Karen Bass, D-Calif., last week introduced a proposal that would permanently cap the interest rate at 3.4 percent.
Adding another perspective to the debate, Obama will release his budget proposal on April 10.
Neither party's budget proposal in Congress has money specifically set aside to keep student loans at their current rate. The House Republicans' budget would double the interest rates on newly issued subsidized loans to help balance the federal budget in a decade. Senate Democrats say they want to keep the interest rates at their current levels, but the budget they passed last week does not set aside money to keep the rates low.
In any event, neither side is likely to get what it wants. And that could lead to confusion for students as they receive their college admission letters and financial aid packages.
"Two ideas ... have been introduced so far — neither of which is likely to go very far," said Terry Hartle, the top lobbyist for colleges at the American Council on Education.
House Republicans, led by Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan, R-Wis., have outlined a spending plan that would shift the interest rates back to their pre-2008 levels. Congress in 2007 lowered the rate to 6 percent for new loans started during the 2008 academic year, then down to 5.6 percent in 2009, to 4.5 percent in 2010 and then to the current 3.4 percent a year later.
Senate Democrats, led by Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., say their budget proposal would permanently keep the student rates low. But their budget document doesn't explicitly cover the $6 billion annual cost. Instead, its committee report included a window for the Senate Health, Education and Pension Committee to pass a student loan-rate fix down the road.

Internship & Work Experience Requirements
All Texas BBA students are required to successfully complete a professional internship as part of their degree requirements. The internship should enhance the student's ability to achieve their personal career objectives. Students must work a minimum of 160 internship hours over the course of at least six weeks. Students conducting fall or spring semester internships must take courses at The University of Texas at Austin concurrently; therefore internships during the fall or spring semesters are required to be in the Austin metro area. This is in alignment with The University of Texas at Austin's 4 year graduation goals.
Students must work a minimum of 160 hours in a six week period to be eligible for course credit.
The National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE) provides the following internship definition and criteria. More Info: NACE Internships An internship is a form of experiential learning that integrates knowledge and theory learned in the classroom with practical application and skills development in a professional setting. Internships give students the opportunity to gain valuable applied experience and make connections in professional fields they are considering for career paths; and give employers the opportunity to guide and evaluate talent.
Decisions regarding whether or not a student will be able to receive academic credit for an internship are made at the academic departmental level, not at the university level. The student is responsible for initiating the application for academic credit with the academic department.
Employers with questions about the BBA internship requirement, please contact Shannon Hickson.
MPA students have the option to intern during the spring and/or summer semesters. Graduate internship credit is granted for the completion of at least 320 hours of work that requires regular and rigorous use of knowledge and skills learned in the MPA program.
Students taking the traditional approach to the MPA are not required to complete an internship. Approximately one-third of students taking the traditional approach elect to intern. Recruiting typically takes place in the fall for students taking the traditional approach.
Students taking the integrated approach to the MPA (BBA+MPA) are required to complete a professional internship. Internship recruiting generally occurs during a student's first year in the MPA program, which is typically their junior year. The internship usually occurs during the spring semester of a student's second year in the MPA program, which is typically their senior year.
Some industry and public accounting firms offer fall internships. The length of fall internships varies.
Most spring internships are completed with public accounting firms and typically last eight weeks. Students in the Financial Reporting and Assurance Track work as interns during the first half of the semester. Students in the Tax Track work as interns during the last half of the semester. During the spring semester, students complete two intensive courses pre- or post-internship.
Summer internships are predominately completed in industry. The length of summer internships varies.
The work experience requirement embraces McCombs' philosophy that MBA students learn better when the educational experience encompasses both theory and practice. The work experience requirement is designed to give students an opportunity to utilize and build on the foundational skills that comprise the Core curriculum in conjunction with their elective courses. As full-time MBA students engage in experiential learning, they will develop new skills and can demonstrate relevant expertise to prospective and sponsoring employers while completing their degree. Students also can use these work opportunities to make more informed career choices having had a chance to work in the area of interest for a limited period of time. MBA students may fulfill the Work Experience requirement through the successful completion of one of the following curricular or co-curricular options:
