Although gay, lesbian, and queer theory are related practices, the three terms delineate separate emphases marked by different assumptions about the relationship between gender and sexuality.
The Harlem Renaissance, an African-American literary movement of the 1920s and 1930s, included several important gay and lesbian writers.
Oscar Wilde is important both as an accomplished writer and as a symbolic figure who exemplified a way of being homosexual at a pivotal moment in the emergence of gay consciousness.
Langston Hughes, whose literary legacy is enormous and varied, was closeted, but homosexuality was an important influence on his literary imagination, and many of his poems may be read as gay texts.
Conflicted over his own sexuality, Tennessee Williams wrote directly about homosexuality only in his short stories, his poetry, and his late plays.
Erotic and pornographic works have been written in many cultures since ancient times and recently have flourished with the relaxation of censorship.
Feminist literary theory is a complex, dynamic area of study that draws from a wide range of critical theories.
James Baldwin, a pioneering figure in twentieth-century literature, wrote sustained and articulate challenges to American racism and mandatory heterosexuality.

Congratulations to MSNBC news anchor Thomas Roberts and his long-time partner Patrick Abner, who wed in New York City on September 29, 2012. The rooftop ceremony, at the Gansevoort Park Avenue Hotel, was officiated by California Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, who in 2004, when he was Mayor of San Francisco, defied state law by issuing marriages licenses to same-sex couples.
With his marriage to Abner, who works as a community liaison for Merck Pharmaceuticals, Roberts has become the first national news anchor in a same-sex marriage.
According to OnTop Magazine, among the 150 guests attending the wedding were such celebrities as singer Chely Wright, who performed at the event, actress Judith Light, activist David Mixner, CNN anchor Don Lemon, and commentator Meghan McCain. Other attendees include Roberts's MSNBC colleagues Phil Griffin, Tamron Hall, and Chris Jansing, and Good Morning America weatherman Sam Champion.
In August, Roberts told the New York Observer that while he attempts to maintain objectivity in his reporting, when it comes to equality, he is not objective. "I want it for you, for me, for everybody . . . It's written in our Constitution: life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, and what's wrong with talking about that? Nothing."
In 2010, in response to the youth suicide crisis, Roberts contributed an affecting "It Gets Better" video in which he mentions both the Trevor Project and the Point Foundation.

Disney Sofia the First Talking Sofia and Animal Friends Sofia the FirstMy 3 year old adores Sofia so I knew it would be a hit. Sofia speaks when you push her amulet and sometimes you can hear her animal friends "respond" too. (It's from the same speaker that Sofia speaks from). Her dress and shoes are removable which leads me to believe that more clothes are soon to come. She doesn't exactly have legs though... she has maybe an inch of lower legs and feet. The rest are immovable dress/speaker. Which I like because standing her up is very easy! She also sits because she bends at the waist. Very high quality, I'm surprised at the other rating that is 1-star. Her hair and face are cute, her tiara is removable as well.Sep 16,2013

Location: The location was great. It was close to the Vatican, next to a market, and there were several restaurants, ATMs, and coffee shops nearby. It was also close to the subway which made getting around Rome a lot easier.
Room: The rooms were large enough and had private bathrooms but make sure you carry all the toiletries that you will need as there is no soap or shampoo available.
Staff: I had coordinated with the owner and told him that there were 4 adults and a 2 month old infant when he offered to pick us up from the airport. He showed up with a car that was too small to hold everyone and expected me to hold my infant in my arms for the 40 min drive from the airport to the apartment. My husband had damaged his seat trying to get into the vehicle and the guy argued with him and demanded 100 Euro to fix it. We did not pay. The man charged us 45 Euro to pick us up from the airport. He had told us that he would pick us up at 615AM the day we were to leave with a bigger car. We waited 15 min and tried to call him numerous times but he never answered or showed up. We had to walk the 15 min to the Vatican at 630AM with a 2 month old to catch a taxi in order make it to the airport in time. Of note, the taxi only cost 40 Euro. Also, the guy insisted on cash and argued when we wanted to pay for the place w/ a credit card. I finally told him that I didn't have a pin number for the card which was the only way to get him to drop the cash issue and accept a credit card.
Room: The room advertised AC but it was portable AC units which we were told to turn off when we were not at the apartment. The room never got below 82 degrees. Also, the breaker tripped every time the 2 ACs were running (1 per bedroom) and someone took a shower.

Rockwood High School and Kingston's Roane County High School had three teams among 55 from schools across Tennessee in this year's regional competition for the 2014 National Science Bowl.
The regional competition took place last weekend.
When Mount Pisgah Christian Academy travels to Springfield this weekend for the Tennessee Athletic Association of Christian Schools (TAACS) A State Tournament, their opponents will undoubtedly have two names circled on the scouting report. Those names are Patriot seniors Mark Ladd and Samuel Parrott.
The Tennessee Fish and Wildlife Commission has elected its new officers for 2014-15 and Dr. Jeff McMillin was honored for his tenure as the commission's chairman for the past year.
Bowers Elementary School, Harriman, applauds students who earned placement on its honor rolls for the second nine weeks' grading period.
They are:
Third grade — Caiyden Grigsby, Madelyn Ladd, Talan Moore, Addison Oliver, Dezaree Sliker, Sklyer Johnson, Madison Mee, Nick Pelfrey, Zack Spradlin, Zoe Abernathy, Abraham Barry, David Conner, Emma Long, Jessica Ramirez and Savannah Trew.
Brenda K. Murphy, president and CEO of SailAway Learning & Academy, knows every child can thrive in school and in life.
So does Sarah Littlefield, a licensed marriage and family therapist.
They will combine their expertise and experience on March 6 to share five proven ways students can thrive in school and life.
The free one-hour "lunch-n-learn" begins at noon at SailAway's Kingston campus, 106 Armour Road.
Doors open at 11:45 a.m. A healthy box lunch will be served.
Midway Elementary School Principal Tim Thompson, far left in back row, and Assistant Principal Jenny Spakes, far right in back row, recently honored the school's January students of the month.
They include, by grade order, Alayna Abner, Gracie Hutson, Jace Raby, Vivy Henry, Kaden Wright, Sierra Gilroy, Cora Blackmon, Chloe Jenkins, Brayden Davidson, Lena Tinker, Ethan Gage, Joey Berryhill, Paul Lyles, Mary Contreras, Makayla McFarland, Gracie Click, Katelyn Braden, April Lance, Gillian Fuhrmeister and Dylan Meza.
Oliver Springs' Mount Pisgah Christian Academy is combining efforts to feed the hungry and raise money for the school.
"It is a project where the kids get financial sponsors for them to actually pack food," said Mount Pisgah Assistant Principal Kendra Walls about the Feed the Need program.
The goal is to get 10,000 meals.
"They are pretty excited," said educator Megan Burnham about the students.
After an opening round loss in the Tennessee Athletic Association of Christian Schools (TAACS) East Region A Tournament to Mount Pisgah, the Lady Crusaders of Calvary looked to bounce back and advance to the TAACS State Tournament in Springfield.
Kingston's newest city park is an old one.
But it will be as good as new, once planned renovations are finished.
Roane County officials moved to deed Gertrude Porter Park to the city of Kingston at a February meeting.
The park, off Hwy. 58 near the confluence of the Tennessee and Clinch rivers, currently has a number of athletic and related amenities, including a baseball field and playground.
But it could use some work.

'Midnight's Children' Approved by Indian Censors
Deepa Mehta's film based on Salman Rushdie's novel has been passed without any cuts and will release in India early next year.
Deepa Mehta's film Midnight's Children, based on Salman Rushdie's 1980 Booker Prize-winning novel, has been cleared by India's censorship board without any cuts. Considering both Rushdie and Mehta have battled controversies here, the 62-year-old Canada-based director's tweet posted last week said it all: "India here we come - intact! Great news... Midnight's Children went through Indian Censor board without one pic cut. Salman Rushdie and I thrilled."
Midnight's Children had been viewed as a potentially controversial project within India, since the novel is considered to be critical of former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi.
PHOTOS: 19 Movies for The End of the World
The film is set for release early next year by its India distributor, PVR Films, which is owned by India's largest theatrical chain PVR Cinemas. "Of course the censors gave it an 'A' (adults) certificate. That's fine. Midnight's Children is not meant for children," Mehta was quoted as saying. "But the fact that an adult audience is being treated as a mature viewership is a sign of the changes that are creeping slowly but surely into the Indian socio-political framework."
Following its world premiere at Toronto, Midnight's Children recently opened the 17th International Film Festival of Kerala in South India. Set against the partition of India and Pakistan following the end of British rule on August 15 1947, the film revolves around two new-born babies who are switched by a nurse in a Mumbai hospital.
STORY: Salman Rusdhie Sold the Rights to 'Midnight's Children' for $1
While the Mumbai-born British author has been visiting India over the years, Rushdie's 1988 book Satanic Verses remains banned here. This January his planned appearance at the Jaipur Literary Festival was canceled following reported death threats.
Mehta faced strong opposition against her 1996 lesbian drama Fire -- starring acclaimed actress Shabana Azmi and Nandita Das -- which resulted in some cinemas being attacked. The film had to be pulled out of release over security concerns.
Mehta's next project Water –- revolving around the state of widows in India –- also faced opposition when some groups disrupted the film's shooting in the holy Indian city of Benaras in 2000. The film eventually had to be shot in Sri Lanka, where Mehta also filmed Midnight's Children.
Midnight's Children's ensemble cast includes Satya Bhabha, Shriya Saran, Siddharth, Anupam Kher, Shabana Azmi, Seema Biswas, Shahana Goswami, Rahul Bose, Soha Ali Khan and Darsheel Safary.

It's back-to-back shows for the Performing Arts Society of Acadiana with Singer + Songwriter Series finale featuring Richard Leigh and Guy Clark set for Friday, and PASA's spring fundraiser, "A Vaudeville Spectacular," Saturday.
The third and final performance in the Singer + Songwriter series is Friday, 8 p.m., in the James D. Moncus Theater at the Acadiana Center for the Arts, 101 W. Vermilion. The fundraiser Saturday is set for 7 p.m., at The Victorian, 302 Main St., Broussard.
Leigh is no stranger to Lafayette, having kicked off the Singer + Songwriter Series in August with Keith Sykes. Sykes then returned with Jerry Jeff Walker in December.
"And this time around, we have Richard Leigh returning with Guy Clark," says Brooke LeBleu, production assistant at PASA. "It's the last performance. It was a three-part series."
A portion of PASA's press release on Clark and Leigh reads:
Guy Clark remains a national treasure and folk icon, crafting masterful, poignant melodies and insightful lyrics. Tough, bare-boned and dryly sentimental, his beautiful songs reflect the man himself and display an old-fashioned masculinity that emphasizes honesty, integrity and carefully chosen words.
Richard Leigh's penning of "Don't it make my Brown Eyes Blue" sent him to the Country Music Association award stage to take home the prize for Song of the Year in 1978, as well as a Grammy for Best Country Song. In 14 trips to the Top Ten with hits he has written or co-written, including recordings by Kathy Mattea, Steve Wariner, Crystal Gayle, Guy Clark, and Ray Charles, eight have become No. 1 singles.
PASA's Singer + Songwriter Series was the idea of Shanna Higginbotham, executive director at PASA, according to LeBleu.
"Shanna came up with the brilliant idea of doing a singer-songwriter series where we could do a really intimate evening where songwriters would not only perform some their songs," says LeBleu, "but tell their stories behind the songs and make it a interactive conversation."
Tickets for Singer + Songwriter Series finale begin at $35. Go here for more information.
The 1-on1 Songwriter Workshop with Richard Leigh won't be happening Saturday at the Blue Moon.But what will be happening Saturday is "A Vaudeville Spectacular," billed as an evening dedicated to the theatrical inspiration of the late 19th Century.
According to the PASA, the evening will include entertainment by Vagabond Swing and many other local talents. Guests will be presented fine cuisine from local restaurants and chefs, accompanied by an open bar, and a very select live and silent auction.
"That's going to be our spring fundraiser," says LeBleu. "It's a new venue in Broussard that Richard Young is opening up. It's a lovely Victorian home that he has completely redone and updated. It will be a venue he uses moving forward."
The evening will include entertainment by Vagabond Swing and many other local talents. Guests will be presented fine cuisine from local restaurants and chefs, accompanied by an open bar, and a very select live and silent auction.
Also scheduled is the inaugural PASA's Award of Excellence honoring Darrellyn Burts. Tickets for the fundraiser are $100 and available here.
MAR 7 Here's a great read on Mother Jones about Bobby Jindal and how his personal history has shaped the candidate. Again, the concept of personality and charisma (or a lack thereof) is raised, when Tim Murphy writes that Jindal has tried very hard but has "been eclipsed by a succession of shinier objects" like Rubio, Cruz and Christie. His real problem, former Gov. Buddy Roemer is quoted here as saying, is his ambition.
MAR 7 A Baton Rouge legislator is trying again to put the famous (or infamous) red light cameras to a public vote, this WBRZ story reports. One bill prefiled by Jeff Arnold would require voters to approve the money-making operations. Another would require that each ticket be served, instead of mailed, on the alleged violator.
MAR 7 Columnist Mark Moseley writes about "commentgate" in this post on the Lens, mostly to remind us that "we don't know jack squat" about what really happened. Sure, the scandal of federal prosecutors anonymously commenting on the Picayune's website about cases in their office brought down Jim Letten and all of his buds, but we still know virtually nothing about what really happened, and all the perpetrators have not been identified, Moseley argues.
MAR 7 Blogger Rod Dreher examines a recent poll that found Catholics sure like the new pope, but it's not having any effect on their behavior. He's a good guy and represents a positive change in their church, but it doesn't mean they're going to Mass more than they used to, Dreher tells us. Why is that? Dreher thinks it is because most American Catholics are just going to do what they want, regardless of who the pope is.
MAR 7 First it was a bunch of federal prosecutors, now an Arkansas judge. A political blogger outed a circuit judge as the same guy making nasty (and possibly racist, sexist and homophobic) comments on an LSU sports message board, the Picayune reports here. The judge, who was running for an appeals court seat up there, has ended his campaign and apologized. Not a good move for someone whose judgment affects people's lives.
MAR 7 To follow up on dad Don Briggs' recent splash in the headlines, here's a story that reads more like a letter to the editor by Gifford Briggs, vice president of LOGA, the group his dad heads up. It's time to stand up and support the poor, defenseless oil and gas industry, we're told. The "greedy trial lawyers" are trotted out, and we're urged to help him "change Louisiana."
MAR 7 Blogger Stephen Sabludowsky writes about the upcoming political spring in this post on Bayou Buzz. He's covering Jindal's agenda, education, this year's attempt to repeal creationism in public schools, and Bill Cassidy's Tea Party alignment, among other things.
MAR 7 Don't look for Bobby "I've got the job I want" Jindal to be in Louisiana this weekend. As this story in the Los Angeles Times reports, he'll be on the East Coast kissing bu--- er, pressing flesh at CPAC. If you want to see his speech, click here. The conservative love-fest will feature speeches from all the (current) 2016 GOP contenders, with Ted Cruz kicking it off and Sarah Palin wrapping it up. In between, the most anticipated speech is probably that of Chris Christie, the story reports. There's also a straw poll (Rand Paul won last year).
MAR 6 Here's some more new info on the continuing controversy at Louisiana College, this time posted on the Tennessean (so maybe this story is pretty interesting outside of Louisiana, too). The story, originally written by Town Talk reporters, tells us about a document with allegedly forged signatures which was sent to SACS, the organization which issues accreditation for southern universities and colleges. The plot thickens?
MAR 6 If you're on the Facebook, you've seen this video of two NOLA police officers line dancing with some Mardi Gras revelers. But this one is even better: it's a NOLA police horse line dancing on Bourbon Street. Hey -- this is Louisiana. We all can get down, if the situation calls for it.
MAR 6 In this week's post, Jim Brown is remembering former Gov. Jimmie Davis, who was sworn in 70 years ago this week. Included in here is the governor's recipe for raccoon, which was his favorite dish, Brown says. He also tells us who "Sunshine" was - Jimmie's palomino. She's buried at the late governor's farm, Brown says.
MAR 6 Columnist James Gill applies his special combination of wit and sarcasm to our friend Don Briggs in this post. Gill read the oil and gas leader's deposition and almost felt sorry for him -- almost. The problem seems to be related to Mr. Brigg's "stupendous ignorance of his purported area of expertise," Gill writes. He also credits Briggs with doing more for the environmental cause in a couple hours than tree-huggers can accomplish in years.

#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@interface TurbineXMLParser : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate> {
#import "TurbineXMLParser.h"
I have just added a new class to my current project that I previously tested in a single file. When I try and build the project I get the error: error: cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSXMLParserDelegate'
I did a bit of searching and tried adding the following ...
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
@protocol NSXMLParserDelegate;
@interface TurbineXMLParser : NSObject <NSXMLParserDelegate> {
but still get the warning: warning: no definition of protocol 'NSXMLParserDelegate' is found
any help would be much appreciated
Removing <NSXMLParserDelegate>
from the @interface did work, but I am curious as to why, am I getting mixed up & muddled? I was under the impression that the delegate object must adopt the NSXMLParserDelegate protocol i.e. adding <NSXMLParserDelegate>
after the superclass.
I have two instances where this is working differently, the first is a project in a single command line file where If I don't add <NSXMLParserDelegate>
is warns that:
class 'TestXMLParser' does not implement the 'NSXMLParserDelegate' protocol
The second instance is where I have setup multiple *.h and *.m files (one of the classes being MyXMLParser.h, MyXMLParser.m) when I try to build the project with <NSXMLParserDelegate>
I get this error:
error: cannot find protocol declaration for 'NSXMLParserDelegate'
Remove <NSXMLParserDelegate>
and it all works fine, no errors, no warning...

CARTHAGE, Mo. —
The Jasper County board that allocates grants from a share of law enforcement sales tax proceeds should have a little bit more to hand out next year — and one more agency in the competition.
The Police Department at Missouri Southern State University in Joplin will be allowed to submit an allocation for grant funds, along with other law enforcement agencies in the county, board members agreed Tuesday.
Ken Kennedy, chief of the university department, said his operation includes seven officers commissioned by the state. State funds cover the department's operating budget, he said, but grant funds could help in technology and equipment purchases.
"We don't have security guards anymore," Kennedy said after the meeting. "We've been a recognized department since April 2008. We make cases and take them to the prosecutor, just like any other department."
Kennedy said the department has mutual-aid agreements with the Joplin, Webb City, Duquesne and Carterville police departments.
Leslie Jones, a board member, noted that the MSSU department meets the definition of agencies that can receive grant funds, under the ordinance that established the county's law enforcement sales tax. The quarter-cent sales tax was approved by voters in 2005.
Board members were told that there should be about $170,000 in grant funds to allocate in 2013, compared with grants of $164,000 that were approved for this year.
The board also agreed to authorize payment for 16 protective vests purchased by the Webb City Police Department. The panel had approved grant funds for 13 vests, but Webb City had been able to buy three more and still stay under the grant amount, Assistant Chief Don Melton told the panel.
He said the department also had been able to realize savings that allowed for the purchase of accessory equipment to go along with eight computers also purchased with a grant award. The board voted not to recommend payment for other items beyond those outlined in the grant request.
"As far as I'm concerned, we need to stay with the grant," said Jim Woestman, board chairman. "But we want to give out all we approved. If they're able to save money, they can come back and ask that money be allocated."
Grant proceeds come from 4.3 percent of the revenue from the sales tax. Tax proceeds are estimated to top $4 million this year. The ordinance that set the tax election also designated a grant board that included the sheriff and a majority of Sheriff's Department representatives. The County Commission more than a year ago disbanded that board and named its own panel, an action that has been among conflicts that led to a lawsuit against the commission filed by Sheriff Archie Dunn
FORMS THAT AGENCIES WILL USE to seek grant funds will be distributed by Jan. 1 and must be returned by Feb. 1. The board will meet Feb. 19 to make the grant awards, members agreed.

France's nuclear power program stalled at best, planned to decline
Even if President Hollande's plan for the transition stalls, it seems clear at least that there will be no further expansion of nuclear in France.EDF is planning to build two new nuclear reactors at Hinkley in western England with Chinese help, but at Flamanville in Normandy a new reactor of the same EPR design is behind schedule and massively over budget. A second envisaged EPR reactor in France has been shelved indefinitely – and no other new nuclear power stations are planned.
France struggles to cut down on nuclear power By Rob Broom BBC News, 10 JAN 14 Paris "…….French President Francois Hollande also wants to cut nuclear output sharply – by a third in 20 years. It's a big ask in a country that now relies on nuclear for 75% of its electricity.
If fully implemented, the pledge would force the closure of up to 20 of the country's 58 reactors according to Professor Laurence Tubiana a former government adviser who the president asked to facilitate a national debate, paving the way for what they call le transition energetique.
This would be a huge step, but Tubiana describes it as a "logical evolution".France realised that Japan had survived economically when all its atomic power stations were shut down because of its diverse energy mix. In Japan, before the disaster, nuclear power delivered about 30% of the country's electricity, but France is hugely dependent not only on nuclear, but on a single generation of nuclear power stations.
It is vulnerable to a "generic risk", according to Tubiana, where a problem with one reactor could force them all offline for the fault to be fixed. This would cause chaos.
She says the 20 reactors closed in the "transition" could be replaced by renewable energy, which she says would maintain French energy independence and be both "stable and secure". Continue reading
Paris derailment of nuclear waste freight train
Freight wagon with nuclear waste derails at depot near Paris, no leak http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/12/23/us-france-nuclear-idUSBRE9BM0QH20131223 PARIS Mon Dec 23, 2013 (Reuters) – A rail freight wagon carrying nuclear waste derailed at a depot in Drancy, 3 km (2 miles) northeast of Paris on Monday, the mayor of the town said.
There was no leakage of nuclear waste, Jean-Christophe Lagarde said by telephone.
"Today at 1605 (1505 GMT), a freight car transporting radioactive material derailed in Drancy station," said the mayor, who is also a member of parliament for the French centrist UDI party. About 4,000 freight wagons carrying radioactive or chemical waste pass through the station each year, Lagarde said, calling the incident "intolerable".
France's "Europe Ecologie Les Verts" (EELV) Green party called for an end to the transportation of radioactive waste through urban areas and busy stations following the incident.
"The slightest accident can have catastrophic effects," the EELV party said in a statement. "All (nuclear waste) transport is risky and exposes populations to unnecessary danger."
Taxpayer money for UK nuclear from French, as well as British?

Quest for uranium underlies France's military intervention in Central African Republic
Paris is focusing on the uranium deposits in the Bakouma sub-prefecture of the Mbomou prefecture, in south-eastern CAR.
The primary sources of France's uranium in southern Algeria and northern Mali and Niger are increasingly threatened ….
escalation of jihadist operations added a sense of urgency to the French quest for the uranium resources
Behind France's intervention in CAR: Uranium supply security WorldTribune.com By Yossef Bodansky, Senior Editor, Global Information System/Defense & Foreign Affairs 17 Dec 13 Operation Sangaris (a local exotic butterfly) — the French and MISCA (the French acronym for the International Support Mission to the Central African Republic) military intervention in the Central African Republic (CAR) — is escalating.
The French contingent will now be 1,600-troop strong, rather than the 1,200 agreed-upon at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). The African Union's (AU's) MISCA force will grow to a total of 6,000 troops from Francophone African states, rather than the original estimate of 3,500 troops.
The hasty deployment of these forces only aggravates an already explosive situation in the country and region, and sparks new fighting where none existed before the international intervention had been announced. Most notably is the sudden resumption of fighting in Bangui, a city and region which had been completely quiet and secure literally until the day before the arrival of the new French forces.
The French-led Operation Sangaris had nothing to do with the oft-declared threat of "seeds of genocide" in the CAR. The French administration of President François Hollande is driven by the French desire for uranium ores. Continue reading
French company installs world's largest offshore wind turbine
Alstom Installs World's Largest Offshore Wind Turbine by Energy Matters, 26 Nov 13, French energy company Alstom has successfully completed installing the world's largest offshore wind turbine, the 6 MW Haliade 150, at the Belwind test site off the coast of Belgium.
Engineered to endure harsh North Sea conditions, the Haliade 150 is the biggest wind turbine ever erected at sea. With a rotor diameter of 150-metres and blades nearly 75-metres long, Alstom predicts each model will provide a 15 percent higher energy yield than other wind turbines – enabling a single unit to power up to 5000 households.
Touted as the new generation in offshore turbine technology, the Haliade 150's nacelle (engine housing) looms 100-metres above sea level and is designed to operate with a minimum of upkeep. The turbine functions without a gearbox, instead relying on direct drive, and a magnetic alternator system transfers unwanted stresses from strong winds away to the tower, optimising efficiency……http://www.energymatters.com.au/index.php?main_page=news_article&article_id=4044
France's dishonourable history in nuclear weapons proliferation
France's own nuclear flaws LA Times November, Bennett Ramberg 16, 2013 France's feisty objection to elements of the proposed Iran nuclear agreement may have merit, but Eric Edelman and Ray Takeyh are way off base writing that "France has an honorable history" in shielding the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty and underlying norms. France has had a tradition of helping countries with suspect nuclear ambitions. Before the treaty, Paris provided Israel with the Dimona reactor that it knew would be used for weapons development. After the NPT went into force in 1970, France provided Saddam Hussein's Iraq with the Osirak reactor. When questions arose, France refused to modify Osirak's weapons-grade fuel. Paris also provided Iraq with equipment for laboratory work on nuclear enrichment.
In the early 1970s, France provided Pakistan with plutonium extraction technology. Only strong U.S. pressure in 1978 forced Paris to abandon the export of a large reprocessing plant, but this did not stop French companies from supplying other equipment that Islamabad used in the weapons program.
An early partner in India's "peaceful" nuclear program, France also continued to assist New Delhi after it exploded its first nuclear weapon in 1974.
France has a lot of nonproliferation catching up to do if it is to be taken seriously.

How USA and France killed off nuclear agreement nearly made with Iran
Western Backtrack on Uranium Enrichment Killed Iran Deal http://news.antiwar.com/2013/11/11/western-backtrack-on-uranium-enrichment-killed-iran-deal/US, France Sought to Change Deal at Last Minute by Jason Ditz, November 11, 2013 More details continue to emerge on the disagreements that prevented an expected weekend pact between the P5+1 and Iran, with a last minute side conversation between Secretary of State John Kerry and his French counterpart Laurent Fabius apparently keeping it from continuing. Fabius demanded last second changes to the draft agreement, including removing a clause guaranteeing Iran's right to civilian uranium enrichment. Kerry reportedly endorsed that demand.
Iran has, under its safeguards agreement, every right to enrich uranium for civilian purposes, and has insisted they are willing to limit that enrichment, but not abandon the right outright.
That already put the talks on shaky ground, and Fabius followed it up with a demand that Iran abandon the under construction Arak reactor, which runs on unenriched uranium. Between the two demands this amounted to a de facto demand to surrender their entire civilian nuclear program, but the US and France continued to insist on only minor sanction relief. At that point though, the deal was dead and everyone just decided to meet again later this month.
Nuclear power " Very Disappointing " – economists
EdF's major shareholder, the French government, is looking to reduce the share of nuclear in France's generation to around 50 per cent from more than 70 per cent, and intends to fill that hole with (cheaper) renewables.
EdF has effectively handballed the risk of new nuclear to consumer and the UK government. The consumer is picking up the tab through higher electricity bills, and the UK government is using taxpayers money to guarantee 65 per cent of the project cost.
Nuclear Energy Verdict:" Very Disappointing " Clean Technica, Giles Parkinson, 112 Nov 13 (very good graphs, diagrams) …..we have received an analysis from Deutsche Bank, which makes some other observations about the cost of nuclear, the comparisons with gas, the price of abatement, and the cost of upkeep for France's existing fleet.
The first point made by Deutsche is that this deal underlines the fact that nuclear is not cheap, but really, really expensive – a point that should not be forgotten in Australia, where there is still a push for nuclear in some quarters despite the abundant alternatives (in particular solar) that are not available to the UK.
As we have noted in the other article, the £92.50/MWh strike price is nearly double the current average cost of generation in the UK. Deutsche takes issue with the UK government's claim that the contract is "competitive with other large-scale clean energy and with gas'. Continue reading
Fukushima "aid" from French nuclear industry – calls radiation illnesses "psychological"
Chernobyl Children Fukushima Children The French nuclear industry establishes Fukushima "aid" programs right now, with co-support by Fukushima Medical University. The aim is: All Fukushima diseases are psychological and "pure panic reaction" – people overreact. NGOs who talk of danger are irrelevant and irresponsible. These "aid" programs work closely together with local government and are even supported by some anti-nuclear activists and vip's – national and abroad. Scientists and journalists also cooperate. Meanwhile radioactive atoms remain invisible in breast milk, and bone sarcomas grow fast.
France's Flamanville EPR fiasco – not a good look for UK's new nuclear reactors
Dr Paul Dorfman, of the Energy Institute at University College, London, believes the British public is facing a turbulent nuclear future. He says: 'It's extremely likely that the construction at Hinkley Point will be over-budget and late. It is unfortunate because it will be the UK taxpayer and consumer, no doubt, who will be picking up the bill.'…..
Professor Steve Thomas, an energy policy expert at the University of Greenwich, has written a damning report on the EPR project, claiming, in 2010, that the entire design and construction was 'in crisis'. His 26-page report catalogued the errors at Flamanville and in Finland, and concluded construction had gone 'dramatically wrong'.
Deaths, chilling safety lapses, lawsuits, huge cost over-runs and delays: Why we can't trust the French with Britain's nuclear future, Daily mail UK, , 26 October 2013, By STEVE BIRD
- EDF's nuclear reactor plant at Flamanville, Normandy, is beset by financial mismanagement and the deaths of workers
- EDF, along with French nuclear group Areva and investors from China, are due to start work on a £16bn plant in Hinkley Point in Somerset in 2017 It will be the first nuclear reactor in the UK in nearly 20 years – and also first European Pressurised Reactor (EPR)
- … yet no reactor of this design is yet working anywhere in the world……
- The optimism and excitement of that first day of construction is now long gone.Since then, the predicted cost of just under £3 billion has rocketed to more than £7 billion (it could go up still further). Continue reading
AREVA's renewable energy business slowing, because of political uncertainty
French Nuclear Giant Areva Sees Revenue Slump http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory/french-nuclear-giant-areva-sees-revenue-slump-20670644 PARIS October 24, 2013 (AP) French nuclear giant Areva says its revenue fell in the third quarter partially due to a slump in business at its renewable energies division.
The state-controlled company said Thursday that its revenue dropped 5.8 percent to 2.1 billion euros ($2.9 billion) in the June-to-September quarter.
The company, which is struggling to stage a turnaround following a global rethink of nuclear energy, said some of the slide was due to unfavorable currency exchange rates, including a strong dollar. It also saw a slowdown in business in its reactors and services division in the U.S.
But the biggest slide came in its renewable energies division, which is small but had been growing quickly. Sales fell 46 percent there. Areva blamed the decline on indecision in the new market.
AREVA joins the pack marketing nukes to Britain
Areva Said Ready to Join Group Building U.K. Nuclear Power Plant, Bloomberg News By Tara Patel and Francois de Beaupuy October 16, 2013 Areva will take a stake in the Hinkley Point project from Electricite de France SA, the people said, asking not to be identified before an announcement is made. China General Nuclear Power Corp. will also become a shareholder, the people said. Areva and EDF's boards will meet in the next week to approve the deal, they said.
Bringing in Areva and China General as partners will allow EDF to share the expense of a project likely to cost about 14 billion pounds ($22 billion). The EDF-led group, expected to sign an agreement with the U.K. government next week, will build two Areva-designed EPR reactors able to supply about 3,600 megawatts, more than 4 percent of U.K. generation capacity. Officials at EDF and Areva declined to comment. Nobody at China General was available to comment outside office hours……http://www.businessweek.com/news/2013-10-16/areva-said-ready-to-join-group-building-u-dot-k-dot-nuclear-power-plant
Cloud of radioactive iodine reaches France, from Fukushima
Fukushima Doom Confirmed? France Hit By Iodine-131 Cloud While New Radiation Plume Expected To Hit West Coast Of America On Tuesday http://revolutionradio.org/?p=58394, September 22, 2013 By Paul Martin A cloud of Iodine-131 has reached France while the recent 5.3 Fukushima earthquake is sending a new radiation plume around the world according to a recent story from Bobby1′sBlog. This latest plume is expected to arrive on the West Coast of America on Tuesday, September 24th. With radiation now spreading across the entire Northern hemisphere and no end in sight, are we reaching the 'beginning of the end'? Two videos below confirm the severity of this ongoing doomsday situation.
An earthquake that rocked Japan just south of the Fukushima area shortly after midnight on September 20 (Japan time) sent a new plume of radiation across the Pacific Ocean. Apparently radiation measurements in this area have temporarily spiked.
This new plume would arrive on the west coast around Tuesday, Sept. 24. Previous earthquakes have also generated plumes. I remember that the one that arrived after the Jan. 1, 2012 quake was really nasty.
In a previous discussion Iodine-131 from latest criticality it was noted that the iodine spike in Chiba prefecture sludge was deposited in the period August 7 through August 20. According to CRIIRAD, Montélimar, France had spikes in alpha and beta atmospheric radiation on September 4-7. Rhône river water in Avignon showed a spike in iodine-131 on Sept. 7. The iodine cloud must have widened and dispersed quite a bit in its journey across the northern hemisphere… and 75% or more of it would have decayed by the time it reached France. So it must have been quite a substantial radioactive cloud.
Fukushima not only affects Japan, but the Pacific ocean, North America, and Europe too. Australia has had average radiation levels increase substantially, also.
Nuclear and carbon taxes to help France move from nuclear power to renewable energy
France to Tax EDF Nuclear Output for Energy Shift to Renewables Bloomberg, By Tara Patel - Sep 21, France will introduce a levy on nuclear energy as well as a tax on carbon emissions from fossil fuels to raise billions needed to boost renewable power and improve energy efficiency.
"All change is expensive in the short term even if it's beneficial in the long term," French Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said today in a speech about the environment in Paris.
The nuclear levy will be applied to Electricite de France SA's existing atomic reactors, he said. The carbon tax will be introduced "progressively" on fossil fuels in order to earn 4 billion euros ($5.4 billion) in 2016…….
France's Green party, which had said it would withdraw support for the Socialist government over the slow pace of policy initiatives, applauded the carbon tax announcement and new incentives towards home renovations for improved energy use.
Ayrault didn't give details of how much EDF, which is 84 percent owned by the government, will have to pay. The utility is compensated for the higher cost of electricity produced by wind turbines and solar panels it buys through a tax on power bills called the CSPE…….
Carbon Tax The planned carbon tax, to be called a "climate energy contribution," will be "neutral" next year and generate 2.5 billion euros in 2015 and 4 billion euros in 2016, Ayrault said. It will be applied to gasoline, diesel, coal, natural gas as well as heavy and heating fuels…….
Hollande said yesterday the an energy law would be passed by the end of next year capping nuclear-power capacity and granting the state the legal means to shut down reactors.The president hasn't said whether more nuclear plants will close, beyond the planned shuttering of Fessenheim in eastern France by the end of 2016.
France will also seek to cut energy use in half by 2050 and fossil fuel use 30 percent by 2030, Hollande announced yesterday. It will implement incentives to spur energy-saving measures in homes and use of electric cars by adding recharging stations.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-09-21/france-to-tax-edf-nuclear-output-for-energy-shift-to-renewables.html
Niger government wants French uranium company AREVA to stop ripping it off
Niger audits Areva uranium mines, seeking better deal By Daniel Flynn and Abdoulaye Massalatchi NIAMEY | Fri Sep 20, 2013 (Reuters) - Niger has ordered an audit of French nuclear group Areva's (AREVA.PA) uranium mines in the West African country as it presses for a better deal in talks over a new long-term contract, Mining Minister Omar Hamidou Tchiana told Reuters.
Areva's two mines in Niger – Somair and Cominak – produce the fuel for roughly one-third of France's nuclear power, providing some of the cheapest electricity in the West.
Niger, a former French colony and one of the world's poorest countries, has long complained it does not reap enough benefits from these resources……..
Extractive industries watchdogs, including the local branch of Publish What You Pay, have accused Areva of a lack of transparency in its revenues and costs in Niger…….
Previous Niger governments have struggled to substantially increase the state's take from uranium and details of the 2003 mining contract have been kept confidential. The IMF estimates Niger's gross domestic product at around 5.5 billion euros, only just over half of Areva's revenues of 9.3 billion in 2012……..http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/09/20/us-niger-areva-idUSBRE98J0MY20130920

But Fred McLuckie, legislative director at the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said it's not clear speed limit increases played a role in rising deaths.
Truck driving is "one of the most dangerous jobs in the country," he said. "These guys work long hours. There's a lot of stress. There's greater congestion on our highways. There are dozens of reasons why those numbers could be up."
Congress passed a transportation bill earlier this year that directs NHTSA to study how well large trucks protect their occupants in crashes.
Motorcycle deaths also rose 2.1 percent, marking the 13th time in the last 14 years that motorcycle rider deaths have risen.
Despite the overall progress in 2011, preliminary crash data for this year shows that motor vehicle deaths and injuries are trending upward again, Jackie Gillan, president of Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety.

Havas Media hires SMV's Scott Moorhead to lead digital trading
By Charlotte Henry, campaignlive.co.uk, Tuesday, 29 January 2013 09:06AM
Havas Media has appointed Scott Moorhead, previously activation director and digital trading director at StarcomMediaVest, to the new role of head of digital trading and operations.
At the agency known as MPG Media Contacts until last week, Moorhead will work closely with account teams as well as oversee all digital trading deals, programmatic developments, performance marketing and how it buys and sells social.
He will report to Darren Goldie, Havas Media's managing partner for digital, and a spokesman for the agency said a number of the digital team will report to him.
Most recently, Moorhead was responsible for the commercial positioning and digital trading for StarcomMediaVest, and has worked in digital media for more than 10 years.
He has been brought into Havas Media to expand its digital offering in paid, owned and earned media. The agency has recently launched an in-house audience management capability and moved towards unified mobile and social media buying.
Havas Media's clients include National Express, Nationwide and Camelot.
Goldie said: "As digital trading becomes increasingly important for driving client ROI it is imperative that we can offer the best trading expertise and the strongest deals across multiple channels."
Moorhead will begin in his new role early in February.
Havas Media used to be called MPG Media Contacts until last week, when it was renamed as part of a global rebrand.

I had read online that some of Neutrogena products were especially good for oily and combination skin, and so I decided to try out this product as I wanted something to exfoliate my skin as well as to clean deep down into the pores. The scrub itself is not very viscous, in fact the consistency was perhaps similar to the kind of toothpaste with microbeads in it. The microbeads are quite small but detectable by eye. I usually try to form a lather with the product and apply it all over my face. You don't need to use a lot of the product as well each time - just a bit will suffice. The scrub did a good job as it left my face feeling exfoliated and ... Read the complete review
