Posted in Issue 98 January 2005 Editorial
It was South Asia's worst natural disaster in memory—the earthquake and tidal wave that claimed more than 250,000 lives in a dozen countries last December. But as the death toll climbed in the days following the disaster, media reports warned that a second calamity was in the making: dangerous disease outbreaks caused by the legions of rotting bodies.
"International organizations urged that the thousands of bloated corpses littering beaches, streets and makeshift morgues be disposed of quickly to stem the threat of disease," one news agency reported. Other media reports were equally alarming. One quoted a microbiologist saying that "There is a very high risk of epidemics breaking out in all these places. Decaying bodies are bacteria factories. The bodies must be quickly disposed of." Another noted, "Worried that rotting corpses could take more lives by spreading disease, health officials ordered them collected in city trucks and dumped in mass graves."
The notion that dead bodies pose an urgent health threat in the aftermath of a disaster is one of several enduring myths about disasters and relief efforts that live on. Survivors, however, are much more likely to be a source of disease outbreaks. Most victims of natural disasters die of trauma, drowning or burns rather than from infection, and victims are no more likely to carry infectious agents than survivors. Someone who died without cholera is not likely to produce it after they are dead.
Survivors have a strong psychological need to identify lost loved ones and to grieve for them in customary ways. Denying survivors the right to carry out those rituals can add significantly to mental health problems that occur after a disaster.
An environmental epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine reviewed the scientific evidence on the issue in a recent article in the Pan American Journal of Public Health. "The microorganisms involved in decomposition are not the kind that cause disease." "And most viruses and bacteria that do cause disease cannot survive very long in a dead body." An exception is the human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, which has been shown to live up to 16 days in a corpse, but only under refrigeration. He points out that blood-borne viruses, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C, as well as tuberculosis and gastrointestinal infections, do pose a slight risk for relief workers charged with handling bodies. But the risk of contagion can be minimized with basic precautions and proper hygiene.
One valid concern is that fecal matter from decomposing bodies may contaminate water. Getting clean water to people should be a high priority, regardless of the source of contamination.
Despite the scientific evidence, the belief that dead bodies spread disease remains a chronic problem in disaster relief efforts. Alarming reports in the media about the risk of massive disease outbreaks can prompt authorities to rush to bury bodies in mass graves. This adds to the survivors' anguish and to the chaos. It becomes one more blow to the affected population.
Seeking closure
There is a larger problem: mass burials and cremations can make identification of remains all but impossible and they prevent survivors from burying loved ones according to local customs and beliefs. Survivors have a strong psychological need to identify lost loved ones and to grieve for them in customary ways. Every survivor's hope is, of course, that they will find someone alive. But when that hope fades, there is a nearly universal human need to learn the fate of a missing loved one and to somehow say good-bye. This need must be recognized along with all the other needs that people have in the aftermath of a disaster. This is why following the recent tsunami disaster, countries with specialized forensic identification teams and technology offered their services to the affected countries in support of the disaster recovery effort.
Failure to find and identify a victim can have material consequences as well, leaving survivors in a kind of legal limbo with respect to property ownership, inheritance, or family benefits. In many cases, these problems add to the economic hardship caused by the disaster itself. Although authorities may feel public pressure to dispose of bodies quickly, families, neighbors and immediate community members are likely to resist efforts to bury victims en masse. Following Hurricane Jeanne in Haiti last September, residents of Gonaives reportedly stoned a truck trying to dump corpses into a mass grave.
Much of the news coverage of the tsunami catastrophe propagated the myth of dead bodies and epidemics, particularly in the first days following the disaster. But the coverage also reflected the enormous importance survivors place on identifying lost loved ones. Media reports were filled with stories and images of survivors searching desperately in hospitals and morgues, perusing bulletin boards with victims' photos, and posting pleas on the Internet for help in finding lost loved ones. They also showed many instances in which relief workers tried to facilitate this process.
In disaster and emergency situations that produce mass casualties, dealing with large numbers of corpses is a critical challenge for disaster relief. The approach to this task should recognize the rights of survivors and be based on scientific evidence, which is widely available, rather than on unfounded fears.

We are planning on enough variety in the crops we grow that, once our gardens come into full production, we should be able to offer a fair amount of choice to our CSA members. In the early weeks, and depending upon weather conditions, however, this may not always be possible.
We have a lot of heritage and rare varieties, so I can pretty much guarantee that we will have some things you have never even seen before, much less tried, and we choose our varieties for taste and nutrition rather than for keeping and shipping qualities. I believe the more diversity you have in your diet the better, and I love to try new things, and to find the most delicious varieties possible.
If there is something that you particularly want us to grow, we will be happy to do so, with the understanding that there is no guarantee that any particular crop will be successful.
In addition to growing crops, we also brew our own kombucha and water kefir, for their incredible health benefits, and we also make a lot of our own household products, from cleaning products such as laundry soap and counter cleaner to shampoos, lotions and bug spray. We do so in order to detoxify our own home and rid our lives of the chemical contamination which surrounds us all, by using only natural, nontoxic ingredients, food grade oils and naturally derived essential oils and herbal teas, tisanes and tinctures.
We will make these products available as we go along.
Each CSA membership will come with a requirement to work periodically at the farm. For a full share, the requirement is to work eight hours per month, and for a half share, four hours per month. A typical work day at the farm will consist of working from 8 AM to 12 PM or thereabouts doing things such as planting, picking, washing and packing crops, followed by a lunch we will provide from our farm bounty. We generally won't include meat, although we may occasionally, but if you like you can bring your own meats, and we do have a grill you can use for that purpose. We will provide all the water you can drink along with iced herbal teas.
We are also planning to offer a winter CSA and will provide more information on that in the future.
CSA Details
Season: June through November
Type: single farm
Since: 2012
Full Share: $800 full share, May through October, if paid in full by 22 May 2012. Payments available: 3 monthly payments of $350, $250 and $250. Payment for that month must be made prior to picking up your produce the first week of the month.
1/2 Share: $450 half share May through October, if paid in full by 22 May 2012. Payments available: 3 monthly payments of $225, $125 and $125. Payment for that month must be made prior to picking up your produce the first week of the month.

Chinese scandals and the perils of one-party rule
A global food company headquartered in suburban Aurora is in trouble in China. Workers at OSI Group's Shanghai plant, which supplies McDonald's and other chains there, forged production dates in order to sell expired meat. A surprising element of the scandal: It was exposed by an investigative report on typically meek Chinese television.
Separately, that country's state media dropped a second bombshell on the Chinese public: A retired top Communist Party official is under investigation for corruption. The disgraced former security chief, Zhou Yongkang, is the highest ranking cadre to go down in decades.
Despite what you often hear — modern China is globalizing, committing itself to clean government and accountability — these examples of misconduct uncovered are reminders that it's tricky to do business in an authoritarian state.
The connecting point is that China, despite its position as a rising economic power, is an inherently unpredictable partner because there are no checks on power. The Communist Party controls all, from the food safety inspection system to the judiciary, from news organizations to social media. So it's difficult to anticipate how the government will act at any given moment, because political considerations can influence any situation.
In other words, China has this much in common with Illinois: You can never be completely certain who is being investigated, or why.
The fact that Shanghai-based Dragon TV blew the whistle on OSI is proper. The company has owned up to its behavior, which it calls "terribly wrong," and pledges to fix its China operations. That should comfort Chinese consumers, and highlights the emerging role of watchdog journalism in China.
Except, it's much easier for the Chinese news media to go after a foreign-owned food factory supplying foreign-owned restaurant chains than to investigate a big Chinese company with government connections. There isn't a level playing field for the truth in China. In 2008, when tainted Chinese baby formula killed four infants and sickened thousands, suspicions were widely voiced that Chinese officials delayed acknowledging the problem to avoid an embarrassing incident around the Beijing Olympics.
In the case of the retired party official, sources outside China said months ago that Zhou was under investigation for corruption. A New York Times report described how his family had amassed a $160 million fortune, much of it connected to industries Zhou helped control.
But the rumor mill also said Zhou's purging was political — a bid by the Chinese president to consolidate power. What to believe? While the accusations against Zhou are confirmed, he hasn't been arrested. He is being investigated by party disciplinary officials behind closed doors. Given the opaque nature of China's system, everything the government does can be seen as someone being persecuted, and someone else being protected.
Another example: International business observers are wondering why Chinese regulators raided Microsoft offices in four cities last week. The government said it was part of an anti-monopoly investigation, but is Beijing really peeved at something else? Maybe it's an effort to bully a foreign competitor, or payback for the Wikileaks revelations that U.S. technology companies allegedly cooperated with National Security Agency spying.
In the U.S., Justice Department anti-trust officials can go after companies, too, but an independent judiciary would preside over any court case. The same can't be said for China. So, again, cynicism abounds.
The concept that government should operate responsibly and transparently isn't totally alien to China's leaders. They recognize that to maintain legitimacy the system needs to be seen by Chinese citizens — and foreign business partners — as fair, not corrupt. So the party wheels out anti-corruption campaigns from time to time. There are dramatic developments, such as Zhou's arrest. And there are symbolic gestures. Recently, government officials and their partners have been told to lay off the drinking at business dinners because it looks bad.
The phrase that encapsulate this goal of fair government in a one-party system is "rule of law." In Chinese parlance it refers to the country being ably governed by regulations, not by whimsy, politics or corruption. China watchers are intrigued that this October's Communist Party Central Committee plenum comes with a rule of law theme. The announcement that the meeting will discuss "governing the country according to law" was made a day after Chinese television confirmed the Zhou investigation.
It's an encouraging sign. But how much is real and how much for show is another unanswerable question. Joe Fewsmith, a China expert at Boston University, says it's usually wise to look for the political angle: "Even in an authoritarian system, if you can administer law more or less impartially, that might be enough to keep the system going for a while. But it really doesn't get at the question of rule of law."
For OSI Group, the situation is straightforward. It violated food safety laws and will pay a steep price. But for anyone doing business with China, risks are exacerbated because the system can't be trusted.

Six Nations 2013: John Beattie questions the value of statistics
The phrase that springs to mind after Scotland's remarkable 12-8 win over Ireland is that one about statistics being like a bikini.
At the start of the month, before Scotland journeyed south to Twickenham to play England in their Six Nations opener, interim Scotland head coach scoffed at the record books.
Scotland had not beaten England on their own turf in 30 years. Indeed, they had won there only four times in a century.
"Statistics are a bit like bikinis - it shows a lot but not the whole thing," Johnson had quipped.
"The reality is you can take what you want from statistics.
"We're here to make our own future and create our own history."
Before I pore over Scotland's amazing Six Nations win over Ireland at Murrayfield on Sunday, there was another stat to mark.
I'd been asked to present lock Al Kellock with his special commemorative jersey for winning his 50th Scotland cap in the changing room after the match, which I'd attended as a punter.
My speech was prepared.
In my head I was going to talk about the 1,000 or so men who had represented Scotland since 1871.
I'd mention that around 300 might still be alive, and how proud they would have been of him and of watching the team win.
Six Nations table

Then there was a bit about him being a Glasgow boy and then I'd give him his jersey.
Team manager Gav Scott gave me the jersey outside the changing room door, and I mentioned to him that I was pretty tired and might cry. He said with a smile: "It's best if you cry…"
So I was ushered in, feeling completely ill-at-ease to be back in an international dressing room nearly 30 years since the last time, and saw all the players smiling.
I garbled the words "three hundred", thrust the jersey into Kellock's arms, burst into tears, and ran out the room.
Utterly pathetic.
Anyway...my view of the game was pretty simple. Part of Scotland's win was down to Ireland blowing the match as their side didn't, as the cliche goes, "keep the scoreboard ticking over".
They may have enjoyed 71% of possession, but they lacked a reliable kicker.
Rugby has a few fundamentals. Scrummaging helps you win games, line-outs help you win games, and kicking your points wins more games than anything else.
Scotland did well in the scrums with Geoff Cross posing a selection problem, they disrupted line-outs while securing most of their own and, unlike the Irish, slotted their easier kicks at goal.
Which is where I come back to statistics being like a bikini. You can have a thousand line-breaks, make a million ball-carries, and win all the ball, but unless you score points it's all completely meaningless.
Of course it's more likely that you win if you do all that, but it doesn't mean you come out on top.

(provided by accenture)
And that's why scoring was invented. Originally the only way of scoring points in rugby was by kicking a "goal" which you were allowed to "try" to do after dotting the ball over the line. Hence, a try is a try.
You have to either get the ball over the line, or get it between the posts to win a game. Nothing else really matters.
All rugby players have taken part in a game where they have outscored the opposition in terms of tries, but the other team have a kicker who can kick from anywhere and you lose.
And my point, at the end of all this is this: are we now, as a media industry, bombarding viewers and listeners with meaningless statistics? You know, time in opposition half, ball-carries per person, tackles made, line-breaks and all the rest?
One piece of genius from one person who breaks through a line and scores, or one successful kick from the halfway line, must be as important as all the rest put together.
The only statistic that really matters, surely, is the final score.
Tell me, what did you think of the game?

Good to see you to and happy to be back. It's nice to have something positive to say regarding Scotland.
Sounds like you had a great holiday... we've had an exceptional summer in NZ this year... especially in Hawkes Bay. Sadly I'm now back working offshore in Angola for a stint, but thanks to Supersport SA I've seen all the Six Nations and Super15. -

Mate good to have you back on board & read your (as per usual astute comments).
Got back early Feb after a short holiday in NZ, & a slightly longer stay in Melbourne for the Tennis. Out of interest, does it not rain in New Zealand anymore?!?
Looking forward to Saturday week vs Wales & one week later vs Les Bleus. We'll need to lift our game, but firmly believe we can do it. -

I'd hazard a guess that Ireland chose to run the ball and keep to phase play because they did not want to kick the Scots back three. As the game went on the Irish could not cope with the Scots cover defence and they were continually pushed back and eventually beaten.
Not a kick and chase tactic to be fair. Irish thought it would be a cakewalk and lost out. Complacent maybe? -

27th February 2013 - 21:5999% of stats are rubbish! Weir changed the game with his fearless ability to kick further down the park than Scottish Jackson thus getting us into the position for the distance lacking but pinpoint accurate kicking of Laidlaw. Hard fact is that halfpenny would have put the game out of reach by half time had he been Irish that day. Am delighted but fearful of what Wales will do to us.

Afghan police hunt brother of 'suicide girl' aged 10
Published on Jan 7, 2014 3:51 PM
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AFP) - Afghan police on Tuesday searched for a Taliban commander who allegedly forced his 10-year-old sister to wear an explosives-packed vest on an aborted suicide attack in the southern province of Helmand.
The interior ministry said the girl, named as Spozhmai, was detained before she detonated the vest near a police checkpoint in the district of Khanashin.
Speaking on Monday at a press conference, the girl said she had been ordered by her brother to undertake the suicide mission but had decided not to carry it through.
"We have appointed a team to investigate this," said Omar Zwak, the Helmand governor's spokesman.

These three groups, as well as other city residents, need more and better transit. To the degree that the mayor has influence, we offer these priorities:
• Trains. Every candidate should insist that the Met Council continue to seek better freight-rail reroute options for the proposed 15-mile Southwest Corridor light-rail transit line, which would run from Minneapolis through portions of St. Louis Park, Hopkins, Minnetonka and Eden Prairie. But criticizing the process won't be enough. Finding a solution that can get municipal consent is essential. Otherwise, this vital line is unlikely to ever qualify for 50 percent federal funding.
Considering the controversy and the anticipation over next year's opening of the Central Corridor line, it may seem that LRT will be at the heart of transit development — and debate — for years to come. It won't. In fact, it's likely that even if Southwest is joined by the proposed 13-mile Bottineau light-rail line, which would run from Minneapolis through portions of Golden Valley, Robbinsdale, Crystal and Brooklyn Park, the number of light-rail lines will stop at four.
That's because Fifth Street will be at capacity. Adding an additional line would require adding another downtown route, which seems unlikely.
And despite the success of the Hiawatha line, and the anticipated acceptance of Central Corridor, the problems plaguing Southwest show how developing a rail system that depends on brokering with freight rail lines is too problematic. Similarly, shared tracks mean that the Northstar commuter rail line has limited frequency. This not only has resulted in Northstar not reaching its potential, but has cooled interest in other lines. Transit should be built on roads where municipalities have the right of way.
Freight-rail issues, the size and scale of LRT trains, as well as the construction controversies mean that the next mayor should seek other alternatives.
• Streetcars. No, streetcars aren't nostalgic "trolleys" — they're a modern mode of transit that has had significant impact in redeveloping portions of Portland and other cities. But it isn't just those progressive places that are embracing streetcars. Conservative cities like Salt Lake City, Dallas, Fort Worth, Charlotte and Cincinnati, among others, are way ahead of Minneapolis and have received federal grants to develop streetcars.
Why the interest? Because streetcars simultaneously move, and root, people. They are not designed as rapid transit, but operate more like inner-city bus lines. Yet their permanence encourages business and residential development. What's happening along Central Corridor is a good example of transit-spurred development. The Met Council estimates that $1.7 billion in development is finished or is being built along the line.
Streetcars, at 67 feet, are shorter than light-rail cars (94 feet each, with three trains often connected). They're about the same length as an articulated bus (60 feet). So while they can hold many people, they don't dominate the road the way LRT trains do. With more and wider doors, a lower ride and an electric operation, they can be ideal for inner-core neighborhoods.
As many as seven routes have been recommended for a network in Minneapolis. Last week, a City Council panel approved a 3.4-mile, $200 million line that would run up Nicollet Avenue, starting at Lake Street, through downtown and into northeast Minneapolis. It's likely to be successful. Expect a call, or even a clamor, for more lines.
• Buses. Rail may be flashier, but the city can't miss the bus. Many Minneapolitans sure don't: 85 percent of all transit trips in the city are by bus, and 58.4 percent of all metro bus boardings and exits are within city limits. Nearly all city residents are within a quarter mile of one of 2,700 transit stops in the city.
Even more will ride once the Interstate 35W South Bus Rapid Transit line begins in 2019. It will join the already-existing BRT line on Cedar Avenue.
More BRT lines should be built. Needed now downtown are east-west bus-only lanes that are equivalent to the improvements on Marquette and Second Avenues. BRT will be far less effective if it gets caught in downtown traffic once it zips past cars on clogged interstates.
And strong consideration must given to building more high-occupancy-toll lanes, which encourage carpooling, raise revenue for those willing to pay to drive solo and can create high-speed corridors for BRT. Far from their original "Lexus lane" image, these are essential tools to tackle traffic.
The other key development would be so-called "rapid bus" service within the city. These buses would be faster and more reliable by reducing boarding time and time spent at stoplights, among other enhancements. The Met Council has identified eight potential routes in Minneapolis for this relatively inexpensive option. What's needed is investment — and visionary leaders.
• Walking and biking. As with streetcars, it's just as important to define the biking boom by what it isn't — elitist or inconsequential. More than 11 percent of Minneapolitans biked or walked to work in 2012, second only to Portland. The high numbers have numerous benefits, not only for those getting fitter and saving money, but in reducing congestion and pollution for all.
Minneapolis has an unusual number of nonmotorized paths along lakes, the river and near rail lines. But with the opening of the Dinkytown Greenway this summer, most have been developed. So more on-street cycling will be needed to increase bike commuting.
• Safety. Cyclists and motorists must coexist more safely. Crash data suggest about half of accidents can be attributed to drivers and half to cyclists. Better road markings are needed and, where possible, safety barriers separating bikes from cars should be added. Personal security is a key issue, too. Cyclists and transit riders should not travel in fear. More police are needed on bike paths and at transit stops.

text: Hi all. I'm so MIA I'm sure no one except Sandi will remember me. I've been through loads in the last year or so and I'm heavier than ever. I think I am at an all time high with my weight other than when I was pregnant with my now 2 year old daughter. Right now though I am 3 lbs heavier than I was with my son just before I gave birth. I'm in an office job right now working Monday thru Friday, I'm up and on the road by 7:30am and home by 5pm usually. By the time I get dinner ready, clean up a little or spend some time with the kids and my husband it is time to put them to bed and by then I am wiped out. Right now I am really, really tired but the problem is that I end up waking up around 3 or 4am and then can't get back to sleep. I'm in a fairly newish job with a lot of responsibility and I am not coping with it at all well. The stress is intense. I thought I would love an office job but actually not so much. I just don't feel like I have time for anything and I am so, so tired! I know the weight is part of it, it would definitely help to be 100 lbs lighter, I'm sure I would have more energy. I'm caught in one of these circles of being too tired to have healthy meals but I know I would feel better if I ate better. Argh! Exercise?? What is that? No time, no energy, I am at the worst shape of my life. This is the first time in my life I've had a monday to friday job and I am so not coping. Previously I've had shift jobs usually where I worked 12 hour shifts and so worked less days so I had more days to get things done. Now I have only the weekend to squeeze in so much stuff that I am overwhelmed. How does anyone manage it??

Escapee caught Friday in Grand Junction
Updated March 26, 2011 at midnight
A Craig man wanted by the Colorado Department of Corrections was caught Friday morning in Grand Junction, the DOC reported.
Jesse J. Bowers, 36, allegedly escaped custody Wednesday in Craig following a parole revocation hearing, DOC spokeswoman Katherine Sanguinetti said.
"They remanded him verbally into DOC custody and then he took off, which officially makes him an escapee," she said.
Bowers was living in Craig while on parole.
Sanguinetti said Bowers was caught at a Grand Junction location a DOC officer and investigator had staked out.
Bowers had been serving in prison for multiple convictions, including attempted burglary in Garfield County and second-degree assault in Mesa County, Sanguinetti said.
He was sentenced on both charges in 2000, according to the DOC.
He had previously served prison sentences for criminal mischief and second-degree burglary of a dwelling.
Craig Police Department officers searched for Bowers at multiple locations Thursday but were unable to find him.
Before his parole, he was serving his sentence at the Kit Carson Correctional Facility in Burlington, Sanguinetti said.

5 Pleasantly surprisedPosted: 07/06/2009Pretty good for what are essentially bargain basement speakers.No real bass to speak of and it breaks up a little bit at max volume (it's fairly loud), but considering the price this is an easy 5 stars.
3 It works. I'm not complaining about the picture.Posted: 18/03/2008First of all, if you have component cable inputs on your TV, then get the wii component cable instead for an even better picture. But for those of us who still haven't got a High-def TV, these cables will give the best possible picture.I played Mario Galaxy, Resident Evil 4, Zack & Wiki, and a few others. The difference is noticeable. Even on the wii menu you'll see deeper reds, greens and blues. Small text will look crisp and easy to read. Personally, I think it should have been boxed with the wii. So why have I given it 3 stars?First, they lost a star because the RGB cable doesn't carry the WSS (widescreen signal). For me, I only have to press a button twice on my TV remote to change it from 4:3 to 16:9, but other TV's aren't so easy to work with. If you can't switch from 4:3 to 16:9 fairly easily, just don't get the cable.Second, they lost a star for the price. These cables should have been bundled with the wii, but they weren't. The fact that you have to shell out £18 for them is near-robbery.It's nice that the RGB scart carries the auto-on signal (when you power up the wii, the TV will switch to the right channel by itself), so how they could have included Auto-on but missed WSS is beyond me. If there's a 3rd party RGB cable that has the WSS signal, get that instead. It'll probably be cheaper, too.
3 Not bad, not greatPosted: 29/01/2008Just because it's made by Nintendo doesn't mean it's fantastic. This game is the case in point.There is nothing terrible about this game, but there is nothing great about it either. The controls are so simple my 3 year old can play it, and he doesn't come last on Jet Race like he does with Mario Kart.Graphics are ok, weapons are ok, courses are uninspired, but the whole thing is lacking in that 'wow' factor. It's too shallow to have any replay value, so you won't be playing it much after you've completed it. Kids will love it though.If you were expecting a high quality game like Diddy Kong Racing or Mario Kart, you will be disappointed. If you wanted a fairly fun, simple racer to whip out at parties then by all means give it a try.

Japan suspends waste water nuclear operation
Tokyo Electric Power Co. Saturday halted an operation to clean highly contaminated waste water at a crippled Japanese nuclear plant due to higher-than-expected radiation levels.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. Saturday halted an operation to clean highly contaminated waste water at a crippled Japanese nuclear plant due to higher-than-expected radiation levels.
Japanese whale hunters have found traces of radioactive caesium in two of the ocean giants recently harpooned off its shores in the Pacific Ocean, a fisheries agency official said Wednesday.
Among the casualties of the March 11, 2011, earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan was the country's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
Peasant farmer Wang Tao used to grow corn, potatoes and wheat within a stone's throw of a dumping ground for rare earths waste until toxic chemicals leaked into the water supply and poisoned his land.
French nuclear group Areva said Tuesday it will set up a system to treat radioactive water from a quake-hit Japanese power plant to allow power supplies and cooling systems to be repaired.
The girl's voice shook as she stood in front of some of the world's top scientists and told them "I am one of the statistics that you will be studying."
The operator of Japan's stricken nuclear plant said Sunday it will send two remote-controlled robots into a reactor building damaged by a hydrogen explosion to gauge radiation and temperature levels.
The operator of Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear plant said Sunday it aims to reduce radiation leaks within three months and to achieve a "cold shutdown" within six to nine months.
The impact of Japan's earthquake and nuclear crisis rippled through the economy Wednesday as the government downgraded its outlook and Toyota announced more temporary plant shutdowns overseas.
A combination of forest byproducts and crustacean shells may be the key to removing radioactive materials from drinking water, researchers from North Carolina State University have found.
A worker battling to cool overheating reactors at Japan's tsunami-hit nuclear plant was taken to hospital on Sunday after complaining of feeling sick, the plant's operator said.
(AP) -- This week, workers at the stricken Japanese nuclear plant dumped radioactive water into the ocean to make room for storing even more highly contaminated water on the site. The water dumping came after ...
(AP) -- Releases of radioactive water into the ocean near Japan's stricken nuclear complex shouldn't pose a widespread danger to sea animals or people who might eat them, experts say.
Japan on Monday started to dump more than 10,000 tons of low-level radioactive water into the Pacific as part of emergency operations to stabilise its crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant.
Japan's Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may have run out of room to store radioactive water, US scientists said Monday after the plant operator reported leaks that could contaminate the ocean.

Anybody know of some reliable force carb instructions? One member seemed to think it was important to transfer kegs after saturation but I have not seen that spelled out anywhere else.
That is just for a really clean keg (ie little to no sediment in your serving keg). I personally don't move mine after it goes in the kegerator, so the first couple of pints and it pours crystal clear. That is with a long primary, carbonation in my primary, and counter-pressure transfer.
No. I mean, if you transfer to the keg too soon before it has cleared in the fermenter and you want to be able to transport that keg to a new serving location, you'd want to do a closed transfer. Otherwise, it's not necessary.
I think the week at 33 is going to be the winner
This may be a stupid question, but can you force cabonate in both Corny and Sanke kegs? All of the posts I have seen on force carbonation seem to be with Cornys.
On the last couple of batches I have naturally carbonated the kegs. I like this because it allows more conditioning time at room temp which speeds up the conditioning process and as soon as a tap is ready I can put it on and it is ready to go.

Hunting small game at long distances can prove to be a trying experience when your scope is under-powered or doesn't provide enough light to see under adverse lighting conditions. The decision to mount a variable high powered scope on your receiver doesn't come lightly. When you need to reach out across great distances, the Zeiss 4.5-14x44 AO MC Conquest Riflescope stacks the deck in your favor.
The twilight performance of this fine scope is notably enhanced by the 44mm objective lens, and then honed to a fine edge with state-of-the-art multicoating on all air to glass surfaces. This scope offers adjustable parallax correction, 1/4 MOA elevation/windage adjustment, and 75 MOA total windage/elevation correction.
Repeatable accuracy is never in question, thanks to the rugged one piece main tube design, and recoil proof engineering. You no longer have to second guess your shot placement, thanks to the 4.5-14x magnification and parallax control features. Surgically precise shot-placement is now possible at distances you could only dream of conquering, with the Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 riflescope.
To use this riflescope with your firearm, you'll need a mounting base and mounting rings in addition to the scope itself. Bases attach to your firearm and rings attach to your scope. By affixing the scope mounted rings to the rifle mounted base you create a reliable, accurate, and secure sighting system. Proper spacing of the rings, as well as the ring height should be considered to ensure a proper line of sight can be established. This will maximize the value of your investment, and enhance your shooting experience. In nearly every application, a professional gunsmith's skills are needed for proper installation.
- Bright and high-powered 4.5-14x magnification scope offering versatility for both woods and open terrain
- Rugged, one-piece, 1.0" main tube
- Adjustable objective for parallax correction
- 1/4 MOA precision adjustments with 75 MOA of W&E correction
- Carl Zeiss MC multicoatings applied upon all glass-to-air surfaces for maximum transmission, color fidelity, and brilliance
- Legendary Carl Zeiss precision-ground optics deliver detailed images with high contrast
- Bright 44mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for nearly any lighting conditions conducive to hunting
- Low Profile Hunting Turrets
- Rapid-Z 800 Reticle in the Second Focal Plane
The Rapid-Z 800 ballistic reticle is configured with three floating posts at 6, 9 and 3 o'clock, with cross hairs. Leading toward the edge of your sight picture from each post is a series of hash-marks that end before they reach the edge of your sight picture. At 12 o'clock you'll see another series of floating hash-marks. Upon the 6 o'clock stadia, there are a number of graduated tick-marks for long-range bullet drop calculation. This design offers a very clear line-of-sight, with a generous view of the area surrounding your target. The tick and hash marks ensure that your point of aim will be your point of impact when targeting at great distances.
This is the 800 yd version of the Rapid-Z reticle; the hash-marks are defined for accurate range-estimation out to 800 yd.
Second focal plane positioning: The reticle does not magnify when the scope's power is dialed up.

Hi, I'm growing some casablanca and stargazers (about 6 to 18 inches high now) in pots, and I unfortunately ignored them for a about 2 weeks. I didn't completely stop watering them, but I would just water them every 3-4 days. The soil never completely dried out, but I could tell the surface was getting kinda dry. In any case, when I came back to tending them regularly, I noticed that the new leaves from the base of the plants were coming out completely dried out, but the rest of the plant looked healthy. Is this caused by the temporary lack of water or something else? It hasn't been long enough for me to see if further leaves are coming out shriveled. I read about needing to mulch the base of the plants, but I'm not sure how important this is. It is getting a bit warmer in San Diego, so I don't know if I need to go ahead and do this. Thanks. |

My hardiness zone is light years away from yours, but could you be over watering? Lilies have a fairly low water requirement and don't like wet feet; the bulbs will rot. Once in the ground and initially watered in, the bulb itself should pretty much have all it needs to grow and flourish helped along with any normal rainfall or a periodic supplemental watering. |

New Build | MSI GeForce GTX650 OC 1024MB GDDR5
Hi Folks,
Just built myself a new machine and I'm having a slight issue with the graphics. I have a MSI GeForce GTX650 OC 1024MB GDDR5 with three monitors hooked up to it, 2 via DVI and one using mHDMI (this I'm using a mHDMI - HMDI block and a HDMI - DVI block so it fits the monitor.) My issue is every so often the monitors all go black, the monitors brand logos appear on screen then my desktop appears, all of the windows forced onto the main display. Event viewer shows no issues, the card is tight in the slot, all drivers & BIOS are upto date. As I'm typing this I just have talked myself into blaming the 2 converter blocks I'm using.... Could it be anything else? Thanks in advance! |

edit: just removed the converted monitor and the issue still happens.....

30th June 2010 - Newly crowned World Number One, Cristie Kerr won her second Major title in record-breaking style finishing 12 shots clear of the field at the LPGA Championship Presented by Wegmans.
Having already confirmed her entry in the 35th Ricoh Women's British Open at The Royal Birkdale Golf Club, 29th July to 1st August, Cristie is now a firm favourite having finished in the top ten four times including a tied fifth in 2005 when the Championship was last played at Birkdale.
Cristie is the first American to top the Rolex Rankings and thoroughly deserving of the top spot having spent amazing 323 weeks ranked within the World's top 10 and showing her remarkable consistency with 74 consecutive cuts since May 2007. There is no doubt Cristie has her eyes firmly on adding the coveted Ricoh Women's British Open title to her haul.
Following her final round 66 she explained, "I am delighted to have made it to No.1 but now I want to stay there. It's something that I've wanted and worked for my whole life. It's great but I just got there and I feel you really have to keep proving it so I've got a lot of work ahead of me. I always wanted to be the No. 1 player in the world and I take great pride in being the top American but you have to perform every week to do that. I'm there now, but I have to prove that I deserve to be there so there is still a lot of work ahead but it feels awfully good right now."
While Cristie was breaking records across the Atlantic, The Royal Birkdale Golf Club's own Kelly Tidy, aged 18, triumphed at the 2010 Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship at Ganton Golf Club, beating Scottish Champion Kelsey MacDonald 2 and 1 in the 18-hole final. Kelly, who was a beaten finalist in the Girls' British Open Amateur Championships of 2007 and 2008 and played for Europe in both the Junior Solheim Cup and the Junior Ryder Cup, was delighted to discover her victory qualified her for direct entry into the Ricoh Women's British Open, joining fellow Birkdale member, Florentyna Parker, who qualified following her recent win at the AMRO Ladies Open in Holland
Kelly, who has been a member at Royal Birkdale Golf Club since 2008, explained, "I am so looking forward to playing my first Major at my home club in front of my friends and family. I would have tried to come though qualifying of course but this is much better. I hope I will be able to take the confidence I have gained from winning the Ladies' British Open Amateur Championship into the Championship and make everyone at Birkdale proud of me."
Shona Malcolm, the LGU's CEO, commented, "Cristie's performance at the weekend was remarkable and we look forward to seeing how she fares at The Royal Birkdale Golf Club this summer. Kelly's win illustrated the increasingly healthy state of the women's amateur game in the UK, as she won the first all-British final since Rebecca Hudson beat Emma Duggleby to win the title at Walton Heath in 2000. It will be a fantastic experience for her playing in the Ricoh Women's British Open and I look forward to watching her make the most of her local Birkdale knowledge as she takes advantage of this fantastic opportunity."
For the first time this year fans will be able to watch the BBC's extensive coverage of the Ricoh Women's British Open in HD (high definition) underlining the significance of the Championship in the BBC's sports portfolio.
The Ricoh Women's British Open was founded by the LGU in 1976 and is staged in conjunction with IMG, the world's largest sports marketing company. The event has been co-sanctioned by the LPGA and LET since 1994 and gained Major status in 2001.
Ricoh, the leading technology provider of Managed Document Services and Production Printing, has been the title sponsor of the Ricoh Women's British Open since 2007.

Saturday Science Links: January 31, 2015
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
The pace of scientific discovery can be dizzying, but it always pales in comparison to the dizzying creativity of God that science discovers.
The top ten coolest science stories of the last month are featured.
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
How does social context affect what Americans believe about science and religion, especially in regards to human origins? A new BioLogos-funded survey reveals the factors influencing the beliefs.
Origins has given us a lot to think about, namely that there are indeed several "Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and ID", as the title states. Genuine believers have thought deeply and carefully about the various kinds of evidence and have come to differing conclusions.
Conflicts, collisions, and comets are the theme in this week's Saturday Science Links.
In science news this week, read about magical nose cells, 45,000 year old thigh bones, and the weirdest looking dinosaur ever.
Theology needs science, but science needs theology; there can be no two-state solution.
In this video originally featured in March of 2012, Dr. David Finch, a biologist at New York University, discusses his thoughts on both Creationism and the effects of "new atheists" like Richard Dawkins.
Here are some of the best responses from around the web to David's Barash's controversial editorial about God and Evolution in the New York Times.
New BioLogos content editor Brad Kramer reviews Chapter 1 of "Surprised by Scripture" by NT Wright, and sees Wright's work as a signpost for the future of the science/faith debate.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
News about the Ebola outbreak and initiatives in genomic medicine lead our news roundup this week, with a collection of research and learning opportunities in biology and at the science/faith border to follow.
We should celebrate the many times that our churches and colleges encourage scholarship. I saw several delegates at Synod stand up and speak directly about the importance of supporting scholars who engage the science and religion dialogue. The recent Synod decision was a move in the right direction.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.

All statements other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by words such as "may," "hope," "will," "should," "expect," "plan," "anticipate," "intend," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue," "could," "future" or the negative of those terms or other words of similar meaning.
