Kudos: Y-12's Beard gets Bronze
Anna Beard, a senior project manager with the NNSA's site office at the Y-12 National Security Complex, received the Bronze Medal Award of Excellence for distinguished service to the nation's security. Beard received the award during a recent ceremony at the Oak Ridge plant.
She came to Oak Ridge in 2001 and has managed more than $200 million in construction projects, including the recently completed updgrade to the compressed air systems at Y-12.
Capitol Hill boys: This run isn't for reelection
U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper, Sen. Bob Corker, Rep. Bart Gordon and Rep. Zach Wamp ran in today's 27th Annual ACLI Capital Challenge in Washington. The three-mile run raises money for the District of Columbia Special Olympics. No word yet on how the Tennessee delegation finished.
Faith-based rejection of nuclear blueprint
More than a dozen religious organizations join to ask the government not to rebuild and revitalize the nuclear weapons complex. Here's the link to their letter.
Going to bat for sick nuclear workers
Will a power push from the Metal Trades Department make a difference in the campaign to help sick nuclear workers get their due? That's a topic in today's column. Also a little Oak Ridge perspective on the controversy regarding possible imports of Italian n-waste.
Fleck's take on transformation
Today is the deadline for submitting comments on nuclear complex transformation, and John Fleck of Albuquerque offers an interesting perspective on his blog.
"I'll be honest. If I were you, I wouldn't sweat a whole lot of bullets about this. There are nine months left in the Bush Administration, and whoever runs the show beginning next Jan. 20 will almost certainly rethink this. That said, however, this is the pageant of democracy, and I could be wrong, in which case you would have missed your chance to play a role."
Nuke cleanup proposal 'on track'
Dept. of Energy spokesman John Shewairy said agency is "on track" to meet the Sept. 30 deadline to submit plan on how to clean up the Bear Creek Burial Grounds -- the 350-acre tract that historically served as a dump for Y-12's rad wastes.
The DOE proposal will be sent to the Tennessee Dept. of Environment and Conservation and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The three parties are then expected to negotiate a final plan for valley restoration over the next year.
Japan honors ex-Ambassador Baker

According to a release from Howard Baker's law firm, Japan's Emperor Akihito today awarded Baker the country's highest honor for foreign civilians _ the Grand Cordon of the Order of the Paulownia Flowers. Baker was recognized for his service to Japan as a senior statesman. The decoration will be formally presented to Baker May 22 at a reception in Washington, D.C., the release said.
Senator to push 'Manhattan Project' for energy
Michael Collins reports from Washington that U.S. Lamar Alexander will lay out a program for energy independence in a speech May 9 at Oak Ridge.
Union boss wants probe of sick-worker program
Metal Trades leader Ron Ault calls for an investigation into the way the sick nuclear workers compensation program has been carried out.
Rad incident report
Dirk Bartlett, director of government relations for EnergySolutions, today released a copy of the incident report the company submitted to the state earlier this year following a contamination incident at the Bear Creek Road waste-processing facility.
The worker who opened the package received by far the highest radiation dose (about 2.8 rems), although a few others were in the area at the time.
Extended maintenance for ORNL reactor
Roughly a year after installation of a Cold Source at the High Flux Isotope Reactor, Oak Ridge workers are performing a bunch of maintenance activities that will keep the reactor out of operation until June 4.
"It's kind of our first annual preventive maintenance on the Cold Source itself, so we'll be changing one of the (three) hydrogen circulators," Ron Crone, research reactors director at ORNL, said today.
ANS topic: nuke safeguards
Bert Rollen, deputy operations manager of the ORNL Safeguards Laboratory, will speak at the May 6 meeting of the American Nuclear Society. The dinner meeting is held at the Bearden Banquet Hall in Knoxville, with dinner at 6:30 and program an hour later. For more info or to make reservations (at $20 per), contact Thomas Miller at 574-9909 or email@example.com.
Honor roll for ORNL subs
Oak Ridge National Laboratory honored seven small businesses during annual awards program for subcontractors.
The winners were: Material Fabrication and Testing (small business); Sentech, Inc, (small disadvantaged business); National Resource Management (woman-owned business); ESG Construction (HUBZone Small Business); Bentco Office Solutions (AVID Small Business); XCEL Engineering, Inc. (Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business); Lone Peak Production, Inc.(Veteran-Owned Small Business).
Flipping the bird nests
photo/Bill Cabage
Oh, those vista-loving ospreys, always wanting to nest on top of power poles where they get free rent and a 360-degree panorama of their preyful surroundings.
About three or four pairs of the birds starting building nests like that this spring in an area near Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and that just wouldn't do. "It creates two problems," said Jim Evans of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. "One, it can short-circuit lines and cause power outages, and oftentimes the birds gets entangled in the lines and get killed."
Here's the chorus: Don't worry, be happy
Even if Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman's vow to block Italian nuclear waste from entering his state is successful, that doesn't doom Tennessee to be permanent host for the radioactive material. That's the word from Tisha Calabrese-Benton, a spokeswoman for the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation.
"We understand the NRC would not approve the import license (for EnergySolutions) without knowing the waste had a disposition route," Calabrese-Benton said.
E-85 only at DOE
The fuel depot at the Oak Ridge Federal Office Building now stocks only E-85 (85 percent ethanol, 15 percent gasoline) for the Department of Energy's fleet of vehicles.
Actually, that makes the situation sounds a little greener than it is, because only 55 percent of the vehicles at DOE's office are E-85 compatible. DOE spokesman Ben Williams that the other vehicles will have to fuel up at commercial facilities in town.
ITER update: Sauthoff keeps his chin up
Conceptual look at International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
Ned Sauthoff, director of the U.S. project office for ITER, seemed to be in good spirits yesterday evening as he talked about how the U.S. team is tackling technical issues on the giant project and addressing a budget shortfall on the homefront. (Congress supplied only $10.6 milliion this year, instead of the requested $160 million.)
Sauthoff was scheduled to leave today for a series of meetings in France, where the fusion test reactor is being built.
Nuke 'transformation' deadline nears
April 30 is the last day to submit comments on the draft supplemental programmatic environmental impact statement (whew, what a mouthful) on plans to transform the U.S. nuclear weapons complex.
If you want to make a comment, click here and follow the directions.
Eliminating nukes
The NNSA announced this week that a joint U.S.-Russian initiative had reached another milesetone, downblending 10 metric tons of highly enriched uranium to eliminate its weapons capability. The converted material is then used to fuel Russian reactors _ power and research.
Oak Ridge workers, including contractors at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and contractors and federal staff at the Y-12 National Security Complex, are playing a big role in the program.
'Unexpected thermal reaction' in can of enriched uranium
A March 28 memo from Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board staff stationed at Y-12 noted there was a reaction in a can used to store briquettes of enriched uranium.
Operators first identified a lid "raised above the normal seated position." The cans are used to store the uranium later used in casting operations.
A formal investigation is under way.
Continue reading "'Unexpected thermal reaction' in can of enriched uranium"
Congrats to Katie Sloop
Katie Sloop, an Oak Ridge High School senior with a 4.111 grade-point average and reserve champion at this year's Southern Appalachian Science and Engineering Fair, is winner of the UT-Battelle Scholarship.
Consumer tips for saving energy
Here's a bunch of useful advice from the Dept. of Energy. Click on the different options on the left column for tips.
Energy efficiency is not yesterday's news
A new study by the Electric Power Research Institute and the Edison Electric Institute shows that improvements in the U.S. power sector could reduce electricity consumption by 7 to 11 percent. The draft report is part of ongoing effort to stem the growing demand for electricity, which is projected to grow 30 percent by 2030.
Click here for more info on that and other reports at the Edison Foundation website.
Academics for peace
Twelve academic leaders from area colleges and universities have drafted an open letter asking the Dept. of Energy to consider a no-weapons-production alternative as part of its plans to transform the U.S. nuclear weapons complex.
Excerpt: "The Y-12 Plant should get out of the bomb production business; money currently expended on Stockpile Life Extension should be re-directed to environmental restoration, weapons dismantlement and disposition operations."
Welcome, space visitors
Yes, folks, these soon-to-be installed water towers at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant should make quite a landing beacon for Martians and others saucer-riders in search of a U.S. warhead factory.
The twin towers will be 220 feet high, reportedly higher than nearby Pine Ridge, and will be visible from downtown Oak Ridge. Once in place, they'll also likely make Y-12's sensitive work areas more identifiable via satellite imagery.
Security? Hmmm.
Mining not in DOE's plans
Asked if DOE is considering mining Bear Creek Valley, where about 41 million pounds of uranium is buried, Oak Ridge spokesman John Shewairy said, "The short answer is no."
He added: "We have not considered that, and I don't know at this point if that is a path we would go down."
OK, I peeked
Here is the second question on the Y-12 survey referenced below.
"Which one of the following best describes the relationship between the Y-12 National Security Complex and the Oak Ridge National Laboratory? If you are not sure, simply indicate that you are uncertain or don't know."
Will Italian waste become permanent Tenn. resident?
Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman today indicated he would try to block the transportation of Italian nuclear waste into his state, which is home to the landfill owned and operated by EnergySolutions. If that's the case and if EnergySolutions proceeds with plans to import the waste, does that mean the radioactive residues would be stuck in Oak Ridge after processing at the company's plant on Bear Creek Road?
Biz search: Anybody need a mentor?
B&W Technical Services, the government's managing contractor at the Y-12 National Security Complex, is seeking applications from small business owners to participate in Y-12's mentor-protege program.
Applications are due by May 31, and those selected for the 2009-2011 class will be notified by the end of June, according to info from B&W. For more information, click here.
Jumping the gun (so to speak) on W76
I was thumbing through a back issue of the quarterly "Y-12 Report" earlier this week, and came across some info that just didn't look right. The Fall 2007 issue, under a section titled, "Getting the Job Done," indicated that the first production unit (FPU) of the W76 warhead was delivered in September 2007.
Well, that was news to me and surely would be to many others, because Y-12's federal boss, Ted Sherry, has repeatedly stated that the life-extension work on the W76 warheads -- deployed on Trident missiles -- has been stalled due to technical issues.
Flattery will get you a blog item
I was amused and a little surprised to get a letter in the mail from Y-12 general manager and B&W Prez Darrel Kohlhorst asking me to participate in a survey on the Oak Ridge plant's image.
"As we work to achieve our strategic objectives for the Y-12 National Security Complex, we need the valuable input and feedback regarding impressions, opinions and reactions that you, as a key community leader, have about who are and what we do," Kohlhorst's letter said.
Uranium mining in Oak Ridge
That's the topic in today's column on the main Knoxnews.com site.
James Carroll of the Courier-Journal in Louisville, Ky., had an interesting article April 6 that said the thousands of canisters of depleted uranium at Paducah and Portsmouth (Ohio) could be worth a fortune. Some nuclear die-hards, of course, have been trying to make that case for decades.
Will Y-12 ever look like this?
This is the image put together by Y-12 contractor B&W, based on plans for transforming the nuclear weapons facility in Oak Ridge. Notice that many of the 200-plus buildings that exist today are gone by 2025, replaced by a scant few facilities for offices, uranium storage and warhead-building work. The green stuff reportedly is grass. Some folks didn't care for my earlier comment that Y-12 historically has used parking lots as landscaping.
Oak Ridge environmental data
DOE's Oak Ridge office has released the Annual Site Environmental Report for 2006, which apparently is the latest one available (in a comprehensive form).
A summary document and more detailed reports are available at this website. Also, copies of the report can be had at the DOE Info Center, 475 Oak Ridge Turnpike. Got questions? Call DOE's public affairs office in Oak Ridge at (865) 576-0885.
Be warned: there are four pages dedicated just to the acronyms and abbreviations used in the reports.
Y-12 engineers: giving back
It's satisfying to report that 19 engineers from the Y-12 National Security Complex took the time during Engineers Week in late February to visit more than 40 classes at 15 schools in East Tennessee to share their expertise and enthusiasm for their work.
Here's some applause for Kevin Alexander, Peter Angelo, Donna Bennett, Preston Cloud, Beth Green, Jason Finney, Ryan Hay, Ernie Lamb, Kevin Lamb, David Linney, Jason Maycock, Steve Mead, Michael Murray, Jim Rollins, Michael Sandstrom, Elijah Shekinah, and Joel Shor.
Small flood at Y-12 facility
A Feb. 8 report by Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board indicated that a leak associated with an overhead chilled-water system resulted in at least 200 gallons of water leaking into a room that supports "special processing operations" in the Enriched Uranium Operations Building.
Well, the idea of water entering a facility where enriched uranium is processed doesn't sound good, but the plant's contractor -- B&W Technical Services -- assured me it wasn't exactly a disaster, although officials took a heck of a long time supplying additional info.
David Michaels ready to hit the bookstores
David Michaels, DOE's asst. secretary for environment, safety and health during a portion of the Clinton administration, called the other day, and we had nice chat about his new book (soon to be released by Oxford University Press).
He wanted to make sure I had received my advance copy of the book, which I hadn't.
Continue reading "David Michaels ready to hit the bookstores"
Pro2Serve gets safety kudos
As part of ongoing Dept. of Energy safety initiative, Pro2Serve Professional Project Services was recognized for performing more than 3 million work hours (over a 12-year period) without a lost-time injury. The record dates back to the technical and engineering services company's creation in 1996. Most of the work was done on DOE's Oak Ridge reservation, the fed agency said in a release.
Wamp & WMD
photo Brett Pate/B&W
I was out of town much of last week and missed Congressman Zach Wamp's tour of a unique Y-12 facility, where folks use radioactive materials and survey equipment to train military personnel and civilians for response to weapons of mass destruction.
In above photo, Wamp (with badge blurred to meet some security requirement) is shown with Lt. Col. David Seitz, commander of the Ohio National Guard's 52nd Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Team, which was training at the Oak Ridge facility. In background is Darrel Kohlhorst, Y-12's general manager, and Ted Sherry, the NNSA's site manager at Y-12.
Earth Day doings
On Tuesday, DOE manager Gerald Boyd will recognize the Karns High School students who helped the federal agency with preparation of the Annual Site Environmental Report in Oak Ridge. The students actually help bring the document down to Earth, because it can get a bit technical.
Activities will begin at 4 p.m. at the high school, including school administrators and faculty, the English II Honors class and some parents. Students will discuss their experience on the project.
120 hourly jobs targeted at Y-12
B&W Technical Services announced today it wants to reduce its hourly payroll by 120. NNSA has approved the buyout package for the program.
Meanwhile, the contractor indicated that layoffs probably won't be necessary to supplement the 220 salaried workers who opted to leave the payroll under a voluntary program. B&W earlier said it hoped to get 300 to 400 volunteers from the salaried ranks.
Rad Italia: update
Here's a link to my monthly column in the Knoxville Biz Journal. It's about EnergySolutions and the ongoing controversy over the company's plan to import Italian nuke waste, etc.
Rogers migrates to ORNL
Tom Rogers, long-time exec with Technology 2020, is joining staff at ORNL as director of Industrial and economic development partnerships.
Corker rings the bell in Big Apple
Tennessee's junior senator does the deal at today's opening of NASDAQ.
In an unrelated issue, here's what the Republican from Chattanooga said about President Bush's speech on climate change.
"I think it was important for the President to address the issue of climate change and present some general principles for what a good policy might do. This issue is not going away, and Congress will probably be debating legislation as soon as June. I have spent a lot of time reviewing various legislative proposals and the positive and negative impacts of cap-and-trade programs in other parts of the world. I hope the policy our country pursues will be sound, enabling us to become more energy secure and grow our economy while being good stewards of our environment."
Strong voice for Oak Ridge retirees
Dub Shults, retired director of ORNL's Analytical Chemistry Division and all-around good guy, makes a persuasive argument for a pension
increase in Sunday's Knoxnews.
Back in the saddle . . . sort of
I've been out of pocket for a few days and am trying to catch up on things. Ahhh, Mondays (with a multiplier factor in effect).
What's a Hot Storage Garden?
photo/Joe Howell
Oh, that nuclear nomenclature. In this case, it's an old facility on the back side of ORNL that was used for some storage of really hot materials in underground wells. Work started on a cleanup a couple of years ago, but it got put on hold because workers apparently weren't sure exactly what they were dealing with and some of them got exposed to the bad stuff.
The incident raised a number of safety issues, but Bechtel Jacobs and subcontractors returned the site to a stable condition (working under a protective tent with filtration systems to prevent migrating materials), and final cleanup is scheduled to resume around 2012-2013 -- if funding comes available.
Creamer's commitment on U-233 project
"We will deliver that contract -- on price, on schedule," EnergySolutions CEO Steve Creamer said recently during an interview at the News Sentinel's offices.
The Dept. of Energy apparently applied considerable pressure on EnergySolutions, which heads the Isotek Systems partnership that's making preparations to down-blend the stocks of weapons-capable uranium-233 stored at ORNL and prepare the nuclear material for disposal. The cost of the project is estimated at $384 milllion.
Weigand wins Schlesinger Award
Gil Weigand, who joined ORNL last year as the director of strategic programs and planning for computing and computational sciences, has won a big award from the Dept. of Energy -- where he once worked.
Weigand was recipient of the first-ever James R. Schlesinger Award, named for the first energy secretary. Among his achievements was conceiving and implementing ASCI (Accelerated Strategic Computing Intitiative), which helped put the United States in a competitive position in supercomputing for science.
ORNL scientist's hot paper
Robin Graham, a research group leader in ORNL's Environmental Sciences Division, is author of one of the most cited research papers during the past couple of years in the field of agricultural sciences.
The paper, "Current and potential U.S. corn stover supplies," was published in Jan.-Feb. 2007 issue of Agronomy Journal. Other authors included John Sheehan, Lynn Wright, Bob Perlack and Richard Nelson.
Atomic Vandy
Vanderbilt University is reported to be the first university to have a campus chapter of the American Nuclear Society without having a nuclear engineering program. ANS President-elect William Burchill visited Nashville March 14 to present the student section with its charter.
Nuclear workers: studies done by ORAU
Below is a full list of the epidemiologic studies done by scientific staff at Oak Ridge Associated Universities since 1979.
This may be useful in evaluating the conclusions of those studies (most of them funded by the Dept. of Energy) against the studies done by the same organization (ORAU) in support of the compensation program for sick workers.
Warming up for hot waste
photo/Joe Howell
Warm-up activities began over the weekend at the TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) Incinerator in Oak Ridge, and the facility will probably be burning waste by week's end, according to Dennis HIll, a spokesman for DOE contractor Bechtel Jacobs. Workers are testing the apparatus and new materials and equipment following a lengthy shutdown for maintenance and repairs.
A fact sheet says the incinerator's kiln operates at a minimum temperature of 1,572 degrees Fahrenheit, with a maximum temp of 2,200 degrees in the secondary combustion chamber. That higher temp is reportedly needed for destruction of polychlorinated biphenyls.
Sunday's protest at Y-12
Staff writer Darren Dunlap covered Sunday's protest organized by the Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance. He also shot video of the event, including the arrests at Y-12 entrance.
ANA's nuke complex report card
The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability today released its Radioactive Report Card to DOE and the nuclear weapons complex.
The group awarded the Dept. of Energy a D for complex transformation; an A+ for provocative weapons production; F's for funding environmental obligations, Global Nuclear Energy Partnership and nuclear power revival; and a C- for waste management.
De-goosed at ORNL
Oak Ridge geese getting ready to go for a ride (photo/ORNL)
OK, maybe that's not exactly the right terminology, but about 520 of those pesky Canada geese have been relocated from the government's Oak Ridge reservation during the past three years.
That's interesting, but maybe the most interesting fact is that not a single one of the geese was overly radioactive. That's according to Neil Giffen, the wildlife management coordinator at ORNL.
Waste burn delayed at Oak Ridge
The government's TSCA Incinerator was supposed to restart April 8, but it didn't. Now, the plan is to begin warming up the apparatus tomorrow (Saturday, April 12) and resume burning operations soon thereafter.
That's the word I got today from Dennis Hill, a spokesman for Bechtel Jacobs Co., the Dept. of Energy's environmental manager in Oak Ridge.
Weapons world: W76 & nuclear gibberish
Jerry Talbot, the NNSA's new assistant deputy administrator for nuclear safety and operations, was in town earlier this week, and aside from getting a Sunday tour of the Graphite Reactor, he spent most of his time getting the low-down on operations at the Y-12 nuclear weapons plant.
I asked if Talbot received a briefing on the W76 and the troubled warhead rehab program at Y-12, but a federal spokesman wouldn't comment.
When asked for an update on the W76, Steven Wyatt of the NNSA office said, "Work is ongoing." Asked what that meant, he repeated, "Work is onging" -- apparently the only phrase that had been cleared for public release.
Milestone at Molten Salt Reactor
Inside the Molten Salt Reactor (photo/BJC)
The fissile uranium-233 has reportedly been extracted from the fuel salt tanks at the Molten Salt Reactor, completing what's been an extraordinary difficult, lengthy and expensive campaign. Work was restarted last fall after a long delay.
Dennis Hill, a spokesman for Bechtel Jacobs Co., the Dept. of Energy's contractor, said, "We're in the process of shipping it to a safe and secure location." He was referring to Building 3019 at ORNL, where the material will be co-located with other stocks of U-233, which is of potential use in nuclear weapons.
More time to comment on nuke complex
The National Nuclear Security Administration has extended the comment period on weapons complex "transformation" to April 30. (It was supposed to end April 10.)
According to the NNSA, more than 85,000 comments have already been received, and more than 600 oral comments were made during a series of public hearings, including Feb. 26 in Oak Ridge. You can submit comments via e-mail at: email@example.com
Here's a link to the programmatic environmental impact statement and other documents.
Recruiting never stops
A couple of students from the Merrimack (N.H.) High School team that made a splash at the recent Global Venture Challenge have contacted ORNL's Thomas Zacharia and may take him up on scholarship offers at UT (where he's also vice president for science and technology).
One student wrote: "The fact that ORNL and UT have collaborative relationships was very appealing. I am a junior this year and am planning on getting a science major (I'm still deciding exactly what specific major) and then continuing by going into medical school. I feel that your university is extremely promising for the direction I want to head in. I plan on applying to UT this fall and I knew to take you seriously when you offered your assistance. I'd like to take you up on your offers of the full tuition and graduate research as an undergraduate."
Radioactive Report Card
The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability plans to release a Radioactive Report Card on DOE nuclear weapons sites next week, with a briefing titled, "Nuclear Weapons Reform: Agenda for the Next Administration." The press briefing will take place in Washington on Monday (April 14)
Y-12 layoffs?
Still no word about whether layoffs will be required in order to trim the salaried workforce at the Oak Ridge warhead facility. Plant spokesman Bill Wilburn said a management meeting related to that issue was taking place today and more information should be available at the first of next week.
As noted in an earlier story, only 230 people applied for the incentive-laden voluntary-departure program and 10 of those later backed out. B&W, the government's managing contractor at Y-12, had hoped to get 300 to 400 volunteers from the salaried ranks.
Neutron-seeking cougar
I've received dozens of phone calls or messages from folks following Monday's story about cougar sightings on the government's Oak Ridge reservation. Suffice it to say, a lot of people have seen something out there, cougar or not, and I won't recount them all here.
However, I will pass along the report of Tom "Rico" Carty, an electrical designer at the Spallation Neutron Source, who said he saw a cougar as he drove to work last fall. Carty said he encountered the big cat as he rounded a curve near the SNS. It was still dark, at about 5:20 a.m., and Carty said the cat froze in the car's headlights.
'Think Outside The Bomb'
That's the name of a not-for-nukes conference to be held this weekend in Washington, D.C., one of the string of regional conferences to be held this year. Here's the agenda.
The conferences were started in 2005 by the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation.
Deer in the road
Deer hunts have done their job in thinning the population on the federal reservation in Oak Ridge and reducing the number of deer/vehicle collisions.
In 1985, there were 273 vehicle accidents involving deer, according to Neil Giffen, ORNL's wildlife management coordinator. Last year, the number was 123, which still seems like a lot of roadkill. (Those numbers include the city of Oak Ridge as well as the DOE reservation.)
"It's a nationwide problem," Giffen said.
Protest Sunday at Y-12: rules of engagement
The Oak Ridge Environmental Peace Alliance will stage a protest Sunday, with activities at Bissell Park between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., followed by a cross-town march to the Y-12 entrance on Scarboro Road.
Here's a link to video from last year's Hiroshima Day protest.

Quotes from computing lovefest
photo/Michael Patrick
Nice turnout for Thursday's celebration of the $65 million Track II award from the National Science Foundation for a petaflop computer.
Here are a few of the words uttered at the newly named National Institute for Computational Sciences:
Kiwi or Esquire, Mr. Talbot?
Jerry Talbot, the NNSA's asst. deputy administrator for nuclear safety and operations, is going to get an eyeful of Y-12 for the first few days of next week, and apparently that means big-time prep for the folks at the Oak Ridge warhead facility.
Everything is dicey right now in the nuclear weapons complex, what with reconfiguration plans still up in the air and hoped-for dollars for modernization at stake, and so every visit by big-wigs from Washington and influential folks of any ilk seems to take on extra importance.
Does that make sense? It does if you're at Y-12.
Young, (very) bright, and bankable
Merrimack's Bio-Buddie 2000 prototype (photo/Michael Patrick)
The winner of the Global Venture Challenge held this week at ORNL was a team from the University of Tennessee (Volantis), with a grand prize of $25,000 for their project -- involving a superhydrophobic ship hull coating.
But maybe the biggest news was that a New Hampshire high-school team -- competing against students from major universities -- finished in a tie for second. Another UT team (Airflow Hybrid) shared second place.
More job cuts at Y-12
There's a story posted on the latest announcement, and this program will target the Oak Ridge plant's hourly workforce.
The CORRE issue
Some folks with the Coalition of Oak Ridge Retired Employees were unhappy when B&W Technnical Services, the government contractor, discontinued the retiree newsletter a few months ago. One associate with CORRE said the newsletter was one of the best ways to reach the group's full membership and thousands of other retirees.
Bill Wilburn, a B&W spokesman, said the move was about saving money and was not a negative action against CORRE.
In support of ITER
U.S. Sens. Lamar Alexander and Bob Corker, R-Tenn., were among the signatories of a March 17 letter seeking a supplemental appropriation for the U.S. commitment on ITER and support other science activities.
For those who didn't see it at the time, here's a link to the letter from Alexander, Corker, etc.
Change at EnergySolutions
Miles Smith is the new senior vice president and head of EnergySolutions' Oak Ridge-based Eastern Operations Division. He succeeds Pat Hopper, who has left the company.
The company's Eastern Operations includes all federal contracts in the eastern United States, including work for the Dept. of Energy, Defense and Army Corps of Engineers, EnergySolutions said.

|Paluch among Hall of Fame inductees (04-16-13)
|Written by Sentinel Sports Staff
|Tuesday, 16 April 2013 09:26
Hockey player Scott Paluch, men's basketball player Shane Kline-Ruminski, gymnast Marny Oestreng and the 1959 football team have been selected for induction into the Bowling Green State University Athletics Hall of Fame, the athletics department announced Monday.
The induction ceremony will is Oct. 26.
The class will be recognized on the field during the BG-Toledo football game at Perry Stadium.
The game is Hall of Fame Day and is part of Letterwinner Weekend.
The class will be officially inducted in conjunction with a reception, which will be held at the Stroh Center. The reception will take place before or after the football game, with timing determined once the game kickoff time is set.
Paluch, who played from 1985-88, was an All-American defenseman for the Falcons, and later coached the team for seven seasons.
The top-scoring defenseman in BG history, Paluch was a first-team All-American and All-Central Collegiate Hockey Association selection as a senior in 1987-88.
He helped BG post four consecutive winning seasons and a winning percentage of .655 during his four years as a player. The Falcons won 33 games and captured the CCHA regular-season title in 1986-87, his junior year.
Then, BG won 30 games the next winter, earning the program's first CCHA playoff title with a championship-game win over Lake Superior at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit. BG earned NCAA Tournament bids in both of those seasons.
Paluch scored 169 points in 165 career games, including 61 points as a senior in '87-88. That 61-point total is the second-highest total in a season by a BGSU defenseman in history, and his 169 career points, as mentioned, is the most ever by a BG blueliner. Additionally, his career total of 48 goals is the most in history by a BG defenseman.
Ruminski, who played from 1992-95, was a unanimous first-team All-Mid-American Conference selection as a senior in 1994-95, and was an NABC District 10 second-team pick.
He averaged 17.2 points and 7.3 rebounds for head coach Jim Larranaga that year, leading the nation with a field-goal percentage of .683. Through the 2012-13 season, that field goal percentage remains the school single-season record. Kline-Ruminski made 181 of his 265 shot attempts that winter, and ranked fourth in the MAC in scoring and ninth in rebounding.
Kline-Ruminski also was fourth in the league in scoring as a junior, with 17.7 points per game, and ranked 10th in the league with 6.9 boards per contest. He shot .563 that year to rank fifth in the league. The Falcons' co-MVP as a junior, he was an all-conference second-team pick. He helped the Falcons post a home record of 24-3 over his last two seasons.
The Falcons went a combined 34-21 during those two years, including an 18-10 overall record in Kline-Ruminski's junior season of 1994-95. That BG team tied for second in the MAC with a 12-6 league record.
Oestreng, who competed from 1999-2002, was an NCAA champion and the native of Trogsted, Norway, still holds the school record in every individual event.
Oestreng's school- and career-best score in the all-around while at BG was 39.600, and she also posted the program's best-ever scores in the floor exercise (9.975), uneven bars (9.950), vault (9.950) and balance beam (9.925).
The preseason preview section of the 1959 BG media guide begins with the following sentence: "The 13 lettermen who will greet Coach (Doyt) Perry on opening practice day will be the smallest number of returning letter winners that the Falcon coach has had in four seasons."
Led by those returnees, however, Perry's fifth BG team proceeded to go a perfect 9-0 - the first undefeated and untied season in program history - en route to winning the college division national championship.
Ron Blackledge, Bernie Casey, Bob Colburn and Bob Zimpfer all earned All-MAC first-team honors, while Jerry Dianiska, Russ Hepner and Chuck Ramsey were named to the second team. Perry's balanced squad led the MAC in both total offense, with 371.0 yards per game, and total defense, with just 208.3 ypg allowed.
The Falcons were voted No. 1 in the nation in the final United Press International poll of the season, and also were named the mythical small college national champions by the Washington, D.C. Touchdown Club.

Camille Grammer from 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' was probably the most notable wife on the show. The ex-wife to actor Kelsey Grammer (the divorce unfolded during the show) has been the subject of much scrutiny during the series' freshman season for her parenting habits (four nannies for two children), her friendships with married tennis partner Nick Stabile and real-life medium Allison Dubois and her long list of now infamous fights with fellow co-star Kyle Richards, aunt of socialite and reality star Paris Hilton. It's rumored that Grammer will not be returning for the second season of the show.

West St. Paul-Mendota Heights-Eagan had more schools that did not complete the five annual lockdown drills required by state law than any other district in the east metro, according to a Pioneer Press survey.
District records showed that Mendota and Somerset elementary schools only performed one or two drills during the 2011-12 school year, the paper reported.
Mendota Heights Police Chief Michael Aschenbrener said his department helped develop a comprehensive safety plan for the school district.
"I'm shocked and amazed no one is holding them accountable to the statute," Aschenbrener told the Pioneer Press.
Mark Fortman, the district's director of operations, attributed some of the missing drills to a "reporting error" and said he would welcome more state oversight if it came with a better way of reporting what preparedness efforts the district is making.
"I'm very surprised these haven't been done," he told the Pioneer Press. "We have been very proactive at emphasizing the safety of students."
Southwest of District 197, the Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan school district was the most compliant, according to the Pioneer Press survey.
The Pioneer Press has more on the lockdown drill and their survey:
In cases where schools comply with the law, the drills often are done in predictable ways -- performed at the same time of the school day or school year and overseen by the same administrator.
And it's hard to get a picture of compliance statewide because there is no required oversight of the lockdown drills.
The Minnesota Department of Education requires districts to report incidents of violence, but school leaders do not have to provide the details of prevention efforts such as drills or crisis plans.
Crisis plans are schools' first line of defense, says Ronald Stephens, executive director of the National School Safety Center. They must be practiced so staff members know how to react during an emergency.
"In times of crisis, nobody reaches for 'the plan.' You have to know it," Stephens said. "That's why we have these drills."

Description of Mammary Duct Ectasia:
In some women who are pre– or perimenopausal (age 40 – 50), breast milk ducts may become swollen and clogged. Milk ducts can dilate (swell) and the walls may thicken, so much so that the flow of fluid is blocked. These ducts are just beneath the nipple, and when these swell, that can cause your nipple to feel tender or irritated, and may cause nipple discharge. Mammary duct ectasia can cause grey to green discharge that is thick and sticky. This is a benign (non-cancerous) condition.
What Duct Ectasia Feels Like:
Duct ectasia can feel like a small lump just under your nipple. The nipple and areola may become tender and irritated, and turn pink or red. You will see thick, sticky discharge from your nipple. This discharge is benign, and can be black, grey or greenish in color. This means you have an infection within a duct. In some cases, your nipple may retract (pull inwards) during a bout with mammary duct ectasia. Once the condition resolves, your nipple should return to normal.
Getting a Clear Diagnosis:
Visit your doctor if you have duct ectasia symptoms that don't respond to self-care, or are painful. You may need to have a breast ultrasound or mammogram to get a clear diagnosis of the problem.
Self-Care Tips for Duct Ectasia:
If your ducts become swollen, your nipple may feel tender and irritated. You can get relief from this condition by using warm packs, but if that doesn't help, see your doctor.
Treatments for Duct Ectasia:
Duct ectasia can sometimes result in infection – if this happens, you may need to take antibiotics. In cases when the ducts will not return to normal size, they can be surgically removed, without causing a great change in the appearance of your breast. This procedure is called Hadfield's operation.
Mammary Duct Ectasia Does Not Increase Your Risk for Breast Cancer:
According to the American Cancer Society, having mammary duct ectasia usually does not increase your risk of developing breast cancer. This condition is considered a non-proliferative lesion (cells which have changed, but are not growing or spreading in an uncontrolled way).

Get ready for another weekend of traffic delays on Southbound 471 in northern Kentucky. Starting Friday evening, work crews will once again be working on the final pavement surface as a major reconstruction project begins to come to an end.
Starting at 10 p.m. Friday south 471 from near Grand Avenue to the U.S. 27 intersection in Highland Heights will be reduced to a single lane until Monday at 6 a.m. Entrance and exit ramps may also be shutdown as pavement is placed in front of the ramps.
An audit of the Hamilton County Sheriff's department is recommending three issues be addressed. They include: staffing, technology and training.
The report concludes department staff are highly disciplined and resilient but also static and resistant to change. It says the agency, under former Sheriff Simon Leis, became "frozen in time" which prevents it from adopting more modern procedures and practices.
Ohio Senator Rob Portman says he's glad the government is reopen, that the country didn't go over the debt limit, and that Wednesday night's agreement included specific language about income verification in the Affordable Care Act.
But he's not satisfied.
Healthcare workers, children's services employees and law enforcement personnel are trying to determine how many Cincinnati children are victims of human trafficking. The local numbers are unclear. State officials say every year between 1,000 and more than 3,000 young girls fall victim.

My mom used to slave over our traditional cinnamon rolls every Christmas eve so they would be ready to pop in the oven on Christmas morning... it probably took her an hour. Last year I made these instead and not only did the family rave about them (they taste the same as my mom's old recipe) it only took me 5 mins to make! They're incredibly easy to make and they're delicious! My variation: butterscotch pudding instead of vanilla, no raisins, and I first sprinkle the pudding over the rolls and then mix the cinnamon, brown sugar and butter together to pour on top.
I've made these for years. It's a Christmas tradition at my house. Beware though, they're so good that you can't stop eating them! I also made half the pan with raisins and half with nuts. This way, everyone is happy! These are the best.
This was a great recipe, my family loved it! The only problem i ran into was choosing the wrong rolls. Make sure that your frozen dinner rolls are still doughy and will form together. I accidentally got the kind that I believe are partially cooked and they did not combine, but still tasted great. I added a little hot water and some extra butter over the rolls to moisten the sugar mix into a sauce. I topped them with a cream cheese icing, delicious!

Already among the lowest-paying states, Idaho wages fell even further behind in 2012, according to the Idaho Department of Labor.
The average hourly wage in Idaho last year was $18.48, or 46th in the nation. Idaho's median wage of $14.58 ranked 43rd among the states.
The average is calculated by adding up all of the wages in the survey, then dividing by the number of wages in the survey. The median is the middle point in a set of numbers, meaning half of the data set is more than the median, and half is less.
In the last decade, Idaho's median wage has fallen from 95 percent of the national median to 87 percent. Idaho's average wage has dropped from 90 percent to 84 percent of the national average.
The national average wage in 2012 was $22.01, and the national median wage was $16.71.
The national survey included all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia had the top average ($36.51) and median (29.79. The state with the highest average was Massachusetts ($26.73), and the state with the highest median was Alaska ($20.92).
The data came from the state's latest Occupational Employment and Wage Survey. nearly 11,000 Idaho employers participated in the survey.

We've changed our name to Warp (www.WarpHD.com)
No comments · Posted by Paul in Uncategorized
Well we finally did it. We shed the super long name that nobody could remember, spell, or pronounce. Our new name is Warp and our website is www.WarpHD.com. The change has taken us almost two months to complete, but it was time well spent. We still have a few odds and ends to clean up but that will be taken care of soon.
With the name change came a lot of other changes. Like entirely new pricing plans with 30 day free trials on all accounts. Our plans start at $19.00 per month, making us officially the most inexpensive video platform on the web, by far. We also have an entirely new video management console, it's a massive improvement over the old one and we still have a lot of features planned!
Also, as of this writing we have just over 9,000 websites signed up with us and growing daily! This is pretty exciting for us, but we're holding the celebration until the 10,000 mark. 10,000 sounds better.
So check out the new Warp Video Platform on our new website at www.WarpHD.com.
The Warp Blog Launch! – Company Overview and History
No comments · Posted by Paul in Uncategorized
Let's kick the blog off with a brief overview of who we are, what we're doing, and how we got here…
Warp is a white label video platform that provides video conversion, hosting, and streaming services. Since day 1, Warp's goal has been to provide an extremely scalable and affordable way for people to host and stream their media. We made this possible by designing our architecture from the ground up based on a cloud hosted environment (Amazon EC2). Leveraging this, we've made our platform automatically start new servers on the fly to scale to any load on an as needed basis and shut down when no longer being used. This completely removes the need to be continually running just-in-case servers during off peak times or to be overly prepared for growth. Effectively bringing our server costs down to almost exactly what we're using with no waste. This efficient design coupled with our debt free, self-funded balance sheet, allows us to be by far the least expensive commercial video platform.
Warp was started in December of 2007 by our team of five. We'll be publishing our bios on the new website soon. Here is a time-line of our progress:
4/08: Initial plans worked out and project started. Serious work time begins, no fun allowed.
8/08: Initial website launched, beta launch of our API (without documentation), and a beta launch of JVideo! — a Joomla Component which uses our API.
9/08: Over 1,000 websites using our beta. Greatly exceeding our modest expectations for a product, which in our minds, was not release ready.
9/08: Even though we are giving away a completely free beta version of our system with few limitations, we sell enough of our $99.00 plan to have our revenue slightly exceed the couple thousand per month in business expenses. Our $99.00 branded player plan being several hundred per month cheaper than our next competitor seems to be the root cause.
9/08-4/09: Fixing bugs, making incremental improvements to our current system, and working on our final 1.0 release version.
5/09: Over 7,000 websites using us. Revenue still exceeding expenses (About 40 paying customers), regardless of the fact that we still give away a mostly limitless free version.
9/09: Launch is nearing….New smaller, faster, skinnable Flash Player…Check. Super kickass industry shaking pricing structure…Check. Completely new dashboard with analytics and tons of new features…Almost Checked. New website, our first press release, lots of other stuff…Almost Checked!
10/09: We decide to change our name to Warp (warphd.com) from Infinovision before our first official launch.
11/09: Warp launches blog….Oh hey that's this.
We'll be publishing a product road map soon that will show what we're working on and where we're headed. So stay tuned!

Baseball is a statisticians dream. You can dissect the game into a million different categories, but when it comes down to it, it's all about the wins and losses. Have a look at the Eastern Division, and the Regina Red Sox have clinched not only a playoff spot, but one more win will give them the division crown. In the West, their three playoff contenders are all but set, yet there in no guarantee about the seedings for playoffs.
And then you have the Central Division. Back and forth atop the rankings after a rough start, it's starting to look like a playoff picture developing. Using some crude estimates and best guesses, Swift Current may end up going to the Eastern Playoffs, and Moose Jaw heads West. BUT with eight or nine games left to play, anything can happen. All it takes is one team getting hot or cold this late in the season to throw a big curveball to the standings. Stay tuned, this is far from over!!!!Read More

Middle Tennessee soccer set to make NCAA debut
Blue Raiders to play No. 15 Florida State FridayNovember 11, 2010 · Athletic Communications
The Blue Raider soccer team celebrates its recent Sun Belt Tournament championship. (Bradley Lambert)
· Box Score
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The Sun Belt Tournament champion Middle Tennessee soccer team will play the first NCAA Tournament game in school history at 3:30 p.m. Central Friday when it squares off against No. 15 Florida State in Tallahassee, Fla. It will mark the first match between the two schools.
"We are excited to still be playing," ninth-year head coach Aston Rhoden said. "I am not surprised we are in this position because we have worked hard for it as a team and a staff. It is a great opportunity to play a fantastic team on the road, something we are used to and have done all season. We will come out with the same focus, mentality and work ethic that we have had all season and hope that will help us get a positive result."
The Blue Raiders earned the Sun Belt's automatic bid after advancing past No. 15 Denver in the league championship game Saturday in Bowling Green, Ky. The two teams battled through a scoreless tie, including a pair of overtime periods, before MT won 3-2 on penalty kicks.
Middle Tennessee is one of 12 schools making their NCAA Tournament debut this season and enters the 64-team field with a 13-8-2 mark.
Five Blue Raiders earned All-Sun Belt Tournament honors, including junior goalkeeper Rebecca Cushing, who was named the Most Valuable Player. She also was tabbed to the TopDrawerSoccer.com National Team of the Week for her stellar play, as she allowed just two goals in 310 minutes for a 0.58 goals-against average.
All-Sun Belt honorees also collecting all-tournament accolades included senior Fran Howells, sophomore Whitney Jorgenson, senior Vanessa Mueggler and redshirt sophomore Regina Thomas. The five players on the All-Sun Belt Tournament Team was a conference high.
Florida State will be the third 15th-ranked opponent this season for Middle Tennessee, who also squared off against Duke in mid-September. Although the Blue Devils won 1-0, it began a consecutive game streak, covering the last 15 matches, in which the Blue Raiders have allowed a goal or less. MT is 11-2-2 during the stretch, including a current nine-game unbeaten streak since a loss October 8.
The Seminoles finished in a three-way tie for second place in the regular-season Atlantic Coast Conference standings with a 7-2-1 record. FSU registered a 13-5-1 record under the direction of head coach Mark Krikorian, who has been suspended for Friday's match by the ACC office.
Should Middle Tennessee advance, it will play the winner of Auburn and USF at 1 p.m., also at the Seminole Soccer Complex.

Inside Accreditation and the DETC
Much has been made of the issues surrounding credits from schools that are accredited by the Distance Education and Training Council (DETC). Because there are some traditional schools that still do not accept transfer credits from schools that have institutional accreditation rather than from one of the six regional accreditors, the standard argument has been that to be safe, you should always attend a school that is regionally accredited rather than consider one that is accredited by a national accreditor such as DETC.
The flaw in this advice is that it doesn't conform to each individual's specific situation. The education you receive by going through a degree program is meant to help you reach a personal or professional goal. Not everyone's goal is the same, and therefore not every type of degree is ideal for everyone.
DETC is recognized by the US Department of Education and by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation as an institutional accreditor, and has had this recognition for decades. Elearners recently sat down with the DETC's executive director, Mike Lambert, to discuss credit transfers and the accreditation process in general.

Google has signed a 5,000-square-metre (53,800-square-foot) lease for its Italian offices at Porta Nuova, the Hines mixed-use development in Milan.
Google will consolidate its Italian operation in the Porta Nuova Isola building, an 11-storey, 10,000-square-metre (107,600-square-foot) office building that is part of Porta Nuova, one of the largest urban redevelopments in Europe.
With the signing of the Google lease, the office building at Porta Nuova Isola is now 80 per cent leased to Google and Pandora Jewellery.
Manfredi Catella, chief executive of Hines Italia SGR, says: "Following the recent partnership in Porta Nuova with sovereign fund Qatar Holding, Google's relocation of its Italian headquarters to Porta Nuova confirms the unique and innovative character of this major urban redevelopment project. The area is quickly emerging as a new vital hub for Italy's economy and future."
Joe Borrett, director of real estate & construction (EMEA) for Google, says: "We are excited that this move to Porta Nuova will enable us to locate all our Milan team in a single office."
Designed by William McDonough + Partners, the office building optimises the workplace environment through efficient floor plates and core layout, natural ventilation, access to the outdoors through a series of exterior terraces, and a high-performance window glazing system that maximises views and transparency while minimising heat gain. The building envelope is expected to achieve LEED Gold certification, while the office spaces will comply with the guidelines for LEED Commercial Interiors.

With the game tied at 24 at halftime, the Russell County Lady Lakers (18-7) wondered how they were going to stop Cumberland County's hot shooting Eliza Smith, who hit five three-point baskets in the first half, during the opening round of the 16th district basketball tournament at Metcalfe County High School Monday night.
As the second half began, though, the Lady Lakers came out with a renewed vigor and held Smith scoreless in the second half.
Sophomore LeeAnn Grider, who had just four points at halftime, finished with 23 points after exploding for 19 points in the second half and leading Russell County to the 53-36 victory. The Lady Lakers outscored the Lady Panthers 17-10 in the third quarter and 12-2 in the final quarter to pull away from the pesky Cumberland County squad. Russell County finished the game shooting 45 percent from the field.
"Coming into the game, we knew that Cumberland County was very capable of shooting the ball well from the outside," Lady Laker coach Craig Pippen said following the victory that propelled his team to Thursday night's district title game against either Clinton County or Metcalfe County. "They came out on fire from the perimeter scoring 21 to 24 points from treyville."
Cumberland County shot just 29 percent from the game but did hit six three-point baskets as a team in the first half to keep their season hopes alive.
"I felt like we had to make some adjustments in two areas at half time," Pippen said. "Ball pressure and take Smith out of the game."
Pippen said Grider did a superb job pressuring their point guard into several turnovers to start the second half and finished the game with a game-high three steals.
"LeeAnn is capable of being just as strong on defense as she is on offense," Pippen added. "Regan Helm also shut down Smith and she was held scoreless for the entire second half. Regan is all about heart. She values each possession like it's her last."
He said defense proved again to be the difference between playing cards or playing hoops for another week.
The Lady Lakers finished with seven team steals and outrebounded the Lady Panthers by nine, 29-20.
"Blair Hoover played another outstanding game for us as well," he said. "She made some great passes and more importantly, stepped up and led us in rebounding with nine. That is what we really need from Blair. She can do so many more things than shoot the three."
Pippen said he felt like Lindsay Ramage and Julie Wethington played well, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Both Helm and Ramage finished with nine points each while Hoover tallied six points. Wethington, Madison Loy and Tyla Bailey each also finished with two points in the victory.
Eliza Smith led the Lady Panthers with 15 points, all in the first half, while Taylor Watson finished with 14 points in her final high school basketball game.
"Our bench was solid when called upon and now we have to prepare for a chance to win a championship," Pippen said. "I am very proud of the progress our program has made in just four short years. Our players are the reason."
The Lady Lakers will now look to repeat as 16th district champions when they will face the Clinton-Metcalfe winner from Tuesday night on Thursday at 7 p.m. at Metcalfe County High School in Edmonton. The Lady Lakers won last season's district title game over Clinton County, 55-41. Before last season, the last district title for the Lady Lakers was in 1993.
Monday night's win also sends Russell County to the 4th region tournament next week at E.A. Diddle Arena on the campus of Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green whether they win or lose Thursday night.
Last Friday, the Lady Lakers defeated visiting Allen County-Scottsville 57-45 on Senior Night as Ramage, Hoover and Bailey played their final home game. Hoover led the Lakers with 14 points while LeeAnn Grider finished with 13 points.

Every year since May 1963, Older Americans Month has been honored with a presidential proclamation. Last year, President Bush said, Older Americans help others to understand the past, and they teach timeless lessons of courage, endurance and love. Through their legacy of patriotism, service, and responsibility, America's seniors also unite families and communities and serve as role models for younger generations.
In observance of Older Americans Month 2005, the U.S. Census Bureau has compiled some revealing statistics about America's aging population.

TN blogs on the CT Senate race
From Mark A. Rose: It's sad to watch the far left gangpile Joe Liberman the way it has.
From Rob Huddleston: You have to worry about Lieberman's chances against multi-millionaire Ned Lamont, since it has been proven that every election can be bought. If Lieberman were to lose, it would be interesting to see if he does indeed run as an independent, as he has threatened to do for several weeks.
From TGW: I expect to be obsessive-compulsive about the Lieberman / Lamont battle for the duration. Chris Matthews is in Connecticut for the day. He just said that all the incumbents, Hillary Clinton, etc. are "shaking in their boots." Heh. I wish I had that graphic!
From Brian Arner: But good grief, some blogs have been playing it up as if the fate of the U.S. Senate hangs in the balance. Like him or not, the Senate clearly has far bigger issues than Joe Liberman.
That is an interesting quote to choose from Mark Rose. Personally, I like this one:
"Senator Lieberman faces a tought primary challenge from Ned Lamont, and the lunatic fringe of the party is tossing him overboard. Liberman's unforgivable sin appears to be the fact that he's Jewish and pro-Israel. (Isn't it odd how the far left compares Bush to Hitler, yet most of the anti-Semitism we hear of these days comes from the very ones who make that comparison?)"
Ah, yes. Because he's Jewish.
In 2004, Kerry beat Bush by 10% in Conn. If Lamont makes the case Joe supports Bush, it's no wonder he wins this race. As for me, I hope Joe wins because I think the fringe of both sides occupies too much of the discussion.
"I think the fringe of both sides occupies too much of the discussion."
When the 'fringe' is in the White House, what else can you expect?
Depends on your perpsective. When he first ran, the right wing of the Republican Party portrayed Bush as too much of a moderate (see the campaigns of Phil Gramm, among others). There were (and are) those who are more far right. It's the Dems, particularly those of the more left variety, who say Bush is on the right fringe. Like I said, depends on your perspective.
