SEE PHOTO GALLERY- Craogh Patrick 365 Climb
An Irish man is attempting to climb Croagh Patrick in Co. Mayo for 365 consecutive days in a bid to raise money for those living in poverty.
Matt Loughrey decided to raise funds for St. Vincent de Paul, an Irish charity dedicated to helping those living in poverty in Ireland.
Despite Ireland's recent arctic temperatures, Matt, who works as a tour guide on Croagh Patrick, has maintained his daily summit of the mountain.
After yesterday's climb he posted this update on the events Facebook page:
"Nearly all thawed out up there. Early up early down. Didn't quite escape the strong winds forecast, they hit half way along the ridge. A few cars in the car park and a few on the trail. Met a woman from Sligo climbing with her brother, that's her picture. Promised I'd put it up on the page."
The idea came to the 32-year-old last May in Campbell's pub which is situated at the foot of the mountain.
"A few years ago I took a job as a tour guide on Croagh Patrick and that summer I did around 40 ascents. I was struck then by the special energy of the place and by the fact that everyone you met had a genuine reason for climbing the mountain. Then after the economic collapse I was thinking about how vulnerable people were and how even people who had been wealthy were struggling…One night, with a few pints consumed in Campbell's pub, the idea to do this struck me," he told the Irish Times.
Since June 5th he has climbed Croagh Patrick every day and has been accompanied by hill-walkers from all around the world.

CIA graduate and former head brewmaster of Chicago's Goose Island brewery, Jared Rouben, has struck out on his own to open Moody Tongue brewery. Rouben combines his skills as a chef to add food flavors and aromatics to his beer, such as chocolate and fruit."I just happen to think about food when I think about beer. For me, beer is food. We use our hands and take raw ingredients and create something that people consume," Rouben said.

Clarence Mahoney, 70, the former chairman of the Camden Historic Landmarks Commission (CHLC), will plead guilty June 8 to sexual assault of a minor in Rockingham County, N.H. Mahoney could spend between seven and a half to 15 years in prison.
This coming Saturday, publisher Mike Mischner, Localife/West Wateree Chronicle Editor Keri Todd Boyce and I (and our families) will attend the S.C. Press Association's (SCPA) winter meeting. If we're very lucky, we might pick up a few awards. At the very least, we'll enjoy a lovely meal, a very nice hotel and one of the better beaches on South Carolina's coast.
The Camden Planning Commission (CPC) spent nearly 90 minutes at its Feb. 28 meeting discussing possible changes to the city of Camden's zoning ordinance, specifically in terms of landscaping and tree preservation -- a term that was ultimately rephrased as tree conservation.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies arrested a registered sex offender for allegedly molesting a juvenile girl two to three years ago. A KCSO report identified the man as 25-year-old Phillip Patterson of Jones Road, Kershaw.
Around 11 a.m. Jan. 26, Sgt. Jamey Jones, an investigator with the Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO), walked into the C&M Market on U.S. 1 South near Elgin. Working undercover, he sat down at one of two video machines marked "Magic Minutes," fed a marked $20 bill into the machine "and numerous card games came up," he wrote in a report.
One of the holiday gifts I received this past season was a bundle of five books -- the first five books in George R.R. Martin's ongoing fantasy saga A Song of Ice and Fire. People are getting to know the books thanks to the HBO series named after the first book, "A Game of Thrones."
As KershawHealth moves through its 99th year of service, its chief executive officer continues to look at the challenges the health care system must still face in the years to come.
The Camden Fire Department (CFD) responded to a fire Wednesday night at a vacant home on Broad Street just down from the Robert Mills Courthouse.
Nearly four years ago, residents of the relatively small, quiet Springdale neighborhood -- appropriately located off Springdale Drive -- woke up to find a large wooded property across Cornwallis Avenue wasn't very wooded anymore.
Melvin Lawhorn, 26, is dead, shot once Tuesday night by a Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputy.
Kershaw County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) deputies received reports involving an 18-year-old Camden man four times in three days. In the first report, the man called his 17-year-old girlfriend -- with whom he has a 14-month-old child -- and asked her for money. When she refused, he allegedly threatened to break her neck and texted and called her continuously for the next two hours making similar threats. He allegedly showed up when she went to pick up her younger sister from school and allegedly yelled at her and banged on the vehicle, even breaking a door handle by pulling it. The man ...
A woman who reportedly confessed to committing several acts of vandalism at local tobacco stores died Sunday.
"Should the City of Camden continue with plans to construct a recreation facility and partner with a third party to administer the facility?"
"10-42," a man's voice came over emergency frequency scanners across Kershaw County on Wednesday morning. The police code means "ending tour of duty," and Bethune Police Chief Larry Davis, 58, used it for the final time of his career.
Occasionally, they gasped. Sometimes they laughed. On a few occasions, they applauded.
During the KershawHealth Board of Trustees' March 23 meeting, Vice Chair Dr. Talullah Holmstrom provided what she said would be "robust report" from the board's quality committee.
KershawHealth generated $1.1 million in operating income in February thanks to collecting a $1.8 million tax debt set-off from a S.C. Association of Counties (SCAC) program. Without the SCAC collection, KershawHealth would have experienced a $700,000 operational loss for the month.
Capella Healthcare of Franklin, Tenn., and MUSC Health -- the patient care arm of the Medical University of South Carolina -- will have to wait a little longer to take over KershawHealth.
Kershaw County School District (KCSD) officials offered a list of deferred maintenance projects to the Kershaw County Board of School Trustees' finance/facilities committee Tuesday. KCSD Director of Operations Billy Smith said the list is based on safety, security, health energy efficiency and other factors.

Carole Bartolotto: The problem with concluding that GMOs are safe is that the argument for their safety rests solely on animal studies. These studies are offered as evidence that the debate over GMOs is over. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Harold Bloom: Walt Whitman, America's Greatest Artist
[Mr. Bloom is Sterling Professor of Humanities at Yale. This essay is adapted from his introduction to "Leaves of Grass (July, 1855 ed.)," just published by Penguin Classics.]
If you are American, then Walt Whitman is your imaginative father and mother, even if, like myself, you have never composed a line of verse.
You can nominate a fair number of literary works as candidates for the secular Scripture of the United States. They might include Melville's "Moby-Dick," Twain's "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," and Emerson's two series of "Essays" and "The Conduct of Life." None of those, not even Emerson's, are as central as the first edition of "Leaves of Grass," whose 150th anniversary we now mark.
Whitman, the American bard, our Homer and our Milton, broke the new road for the New World. D.H. Lawrence, alternately furious at Whitman and in thrall to him, saw his precursor as the poet of the Evening Land, sharing in Melville's litany for the doom of "the white race." The 20th century's dominant American writer, Faulkner, carried on from Melville in what now can be read as a tetralogy: "As I lay Dying," "The Sound and the Fury," "Light in August," and "Absalom, Absalom!" Whitman's true heirs at home included T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," Hart Crane's "The Bridge," and Wallace Stevens's "The Auroras of Autumn." Abroad, the catalog is too large for quick compilation: Lawrence, Lorca, Pessoa, Vallejo, Neruda, Borges, Paz are perhaps the most notable.
Walt Whitman was the crucial celebrant of what I think we yet will call the American Religion, the momentary fusion of all denominations in an amalgam of Enthusiasm and Gnosticism that marked the beginning of the end of European Protestantism in America, and which began in the Cane Ridge Revival of 1800. The Southern Baptists, Pentecostalists, Mormons, Adventists, and other native strains are ongoing emanations of what began there. Our theologians and prophets of the American Religion include Emerson, Joseph Smith, and Horace Bushnell, among others. The philosopher William James is its psychologist, and Walt Whitman forever will be its poet-prophet, who sings only songs of myself. We now have an American Jesus and an American Holy Spirit, and have largely banished Yahweh, except that he marches as Warrior God, endlessly trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored.
Whitman's full aesthetic achievement is still undervalued and misunderstood. He is the greatest artist his nation has brought forth. Indeed, no comparable figure in the arts has emerged in the last 400 years in the Americas: North, Central, South, or the Caribbean. His six major poems: "Song of Myself," "The Sleepers," "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," and the triad of elegies: "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking," "As I Ebb'd with the Ocean of Life," and "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" have their peer only in Milton's "Paradise Lost," in Bach's endless fecundity, in the glory of Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling -- baroque masters of sublimity. To call Whitman, at his strongest, baroque must seem at first paradoxical for a poet who professes to chant "Spontaneous Me," but Whitman is no improviser. His artistry reflects conscious study of his precursors in the language, despite his American nationalist ambivalence toward British tradition....
Though Whitman later denied it, Emerson made the first "Leaves of Grass" possible. Emerson credited Whitman with the "Appalachian enlargement" of our literature. "As sane as the sun" was one of Whitman's final tributes to Emerson. My own favorite among Whitman's anecdotes is of his last visit to the then senile Emerson. The greatest of our poets so stationed his chair that he could stare fully at the benign countenance of his mentor, and each sat silently, Whitman in loving reverie, Emerson in the tragic solitude of an Alzheimer's victim. It was the final act in a grand drama of influence that is still ongoing in our literary culture.

<< Contents TAKING BURNUP CREDIT INTO ACCOUNT IN CRITICALITY STUDIES : THE SITUATION AS IT IS NOW AND THE PROSPECT FOR THE FUTURE C. LAVARENNE O. DEKENS M. DOUCET J.P. GROUILLER E. GUILLOU E. LETANG N. THIOLLAY Institut de Protection Electricité de FRAMATOME Commissariat à COGEMA et de Sûreté Nucléaire France l'Energie Atomique La Hague France Abstract As the enrichment of the fuel has become higher than the limits used at the designing stages, it seemed necessary to consider the fuel depletion during irradiation to guaranty the criticality safety for highly enriched fuels transportation, storage or reprocessing. For that purpose, a method was developed considering partial Uranium-and-Plutonium burnup credit in the criticality studies ; this method was accepted by the French Safety Authority. Moreover, in order to reduce again the reactivity of irradiated fuels, a French working group was set up in 1997 to define a conservative method which enables industrial companies to take burnup credit into account with some of the fission products and using a more precise profile. This work is supported by experimental programs related to the validation of the fission products effects, in terms of reactivity. Introduction Most of the facilities using irradiated fuel were originally designed for uranium oxide enriched up to 3.5% in 235U. As nuclear reactor management has improved, the initial enrichment of the oxide has increased and exceeded this limit. However, the improvements that have been achieved with depletion codes and the knowledge of actinide properties have made it possible to consider the decrease in reactivity due to the burnup of the fuel. Thus, facilities were designed taking into account a certain amount of enrichment. If more enriched fuel is used, a minimum burnup is required for the reactivity level to drop to the value used at the designing stage. In the early 80's, a method was devised, using actinides in the calculations, to define this minimum burnup. In 1997, the main companies involved in the nuclear fuel industry (Cogema, EDF, Framatome, Transnucléaire and CEA) and the Institut de Protection et de Sûreté Nucléaire (IPSN) set up a working group to determine a calculation method which makes it possible to take actinides plus some of the fission products into account in the criticality studies. The present paper is divided into three parts. The first one presents the current French practice. The second one is related to the French Working Group : the calculations of the spent fuel 1 << Contents composition, the characterisation of an upper-bound history of irradiation and the definition of the model used for the calculation in the criticality studies. The third one describes the various French Programs concerning the experimental validation of the criticality calculations using Fission Products. Current French practice Currently, criticality studies, which include irradiated fuel, consider only the heavy nucleus composition for a given specific burnup. The main isotopes of uranium and plutonium taken into account are : 235U, 236U, 238U, 238Pu, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu and 242Pu. Fission products are disregarded. The calculation scheme used was validated through an experimental program (known as HTC program) carried out at the IPSN's criticality station in Valduc, in collaboration with Cogema, between 1988 and 1991. The experimental configuration programmes used special MOX-based fuel rods, with no fission product, and heavy nuclei compositions equal to those found in PWR fuel rods at an initial enrichment of 4.5% in 235U and irradiated at 37.5 GWd/t. The first paragraph is devoted to the history of burnup use in criticality studies. The following paragraphs show how burnup has been taken into account in two examples. These methods have been validated by the French Safety Authority. History As far back as 1981, at Cogema's UP2 400 plant in La Hague, the minimum specific burnup requirement was taken into account to demonstrate the safety-criticality of reprocessing operations in the HAO facility of the UP2 plant. This plant used uranium oxide fuel, which were initially enriched to 4.2 % in 235U and burnt in the CNA (B) reactor. All of these operations took place under conditions usually reserved for fuel enriched to 3.5%. This practice was subsequently extended to other types of highly enriched uranium oxide-based PWR fuels to demonstrate the safety of their transport, interim storage and reprocessing. Example of interim pool storage This section describes the calculation method used to estimate the effective multiplication factor of interim pool storage of spent fuel assemblies and presents successively all of the assumptions made concerning geometrical modelling and the axial values of the burnup. Figure 1 is a horizontal cross-section of the 2D representation of an interim storage of spent UOX fuel assemblies. The model was fed into the MORET III(1) Monte Carlo code to calculate the effective multiplication factor of that storage configuration. The planar array, the height of the fuel assemblies and the cells were taken infinite. As neutrons leak in a reactor around the edge of the core, leading to non-uniformity of the flux, axial and radial variations in the specific burnup of the fuel assemblies appear. However, the model used in the criticality calculations is a flat irradiation profile, with a specific method to link the burnup used in the studies and the burnup of the real fuel : the value of the average specific burnup obtained over the 50-least-irradiated centimetres of the fuel assembly fissile column has to be higher than the burnup used in the flat-profile model. The conservative nature of this method was discussed in a paper published at ICNC' 87 in Tokyo, Japan. << Contents Figure 2 shows the modelling assumption used in the criticality calculations for the specific burnup shape. Height H is the height of the fuel assembly fissile column. z conservative hypothesis used (infinite height) 50 cm actual shape of the burnup H 50 cm BU Bu figure 1 figure 2 For a given specific burnup, the composition of the fuel is computed using an irradiation history, which leads to conservative figures of uranium and plutonium isotopes concentrations. The cooling time is considered as nil. Continuous dissolver A minimum specific burnup for fuel assemblies reprocessed in Cogema's UP3 and UP2- 800 plants was taken into account at the dissolver design stage. The device design is a compromise between the capacity of the dissolver and the criticality requirements. The dissolver comprises a flat tank fitted with a rotating section of 12 buckets. The buckets are loaded with fuel one-by-one and then, due to successive rotation of the moving part, are dived into a nitric acid solution, which is continuously renewed in the tank. Cogema's charts gives the maximum weight of fuel allowed in each bucket for a given initial 235 U enrichment and a given specific burnup. These weights are then converted into lengths for each type of fuel assembly. The length therefore becomes the true parameter to controll weight. Thus, the maximum weight authorised for each bucket of fuel intended for reprocessing is determined on the basis of its initial 235U enrichment and of the measured average value of the 50- least-irradiated centimetres, which is the reference value as for the interim storage case. << Contents To illustrate the burnup effect on the management of a reprocessing plant, the weight of non- irradiated PWR UO2 fuel enriched at 3.5% 235U should be limited to 60 kg of oxide per bucket, whereas the oxide mass is not limited since the average burnup of the fuel is higher than 16 000 MWd/t over the 50 cm at both ends ; this is an usual burnup value for irradiated fuels. In these conditions, the capacity of the dissolver is not limited by criticality safety requirements. Thus, before shearing, the specific burnup is measured along the entire length of each fuel assembly and the result is recorded. It constitutes a unique database of information on the irradiation profiles of spent fuel assemblies in boiling water or pressurised water reactors. Working program for the new working group The main priority of the French working group is to study PWRs' UO2 spent fuel assemblies. As it has already been mentioned, only the main uranium and plutonium isotopes are taken into account in the criticality studies. The depletion code predicts the isotopic content of spent fuel (actinides and fission products), by simulating the absorption of neutrons, their fission, and the isotopes' decay in a fuel cell during irradiation in a reactor. Since the loss of reactivity due to the fission products absorption is not taken into account, the assumption of actinide-only burnup credit leads to considerable safety margins. Then, a less conservative assumption on the fuel composition, by considering some of the fission products, would reduce the costs of transportation and storage. For that purpose, the upper-bound nature of such a method still has to be demonstrated. The French working group aims to determine a conservative method for transportation and interim storage of spent fuel when fission products are considered. Four sub-groups were formed to carry out the tasks. The first group is related to the depletion computer code results and analyses the discrepancies between calculations and measurements of the fuel composition ; it will then determine correction factors for the different element concentrations. The second one classifies the burnup axial profiles into groups and selects some upper-bound profiles. The third one determines the upper-bound irradiation histories for spent fuel assemblies. The last one has to define a calculation scheme for transportation and storage criticality studies when taking burnup into account; it is especially aimed to determine the number of axial zones needed for the calculations. First Task : Calculation of spent fuel assembly composition << Contents The depletion code used for that purpose is the CESAR (2) computer code, Version 4. This version gives the concentrations of 42 heavy nuclei, 204 fission products and 100 activation products. CESAR has the advantage of being supported by a large set of qualification experiments, based on the results of representative analyses of average concentrations in fuel assemblies and on spent fuel assembly samples. CESAR is a simplified code, which extrapolates values that have already been tabulated. The tabulated values are now prepared with APOLLO 1 depletion calculations. For PWRs the experimental values of the actinides and fission products concentrations come from (i) punctual destructive analysis of PWR EDF 17x17 samples realised in a joint-venture between FRAMATOME, EDF and Cogema, (ii) analysis of the mean concentration of the dissolutions realised at La Hague - Cogema (it concerns PWR 14x14 up to 17x17 assemblies). For those samples, the burnup goes up to 60 GWd/t. The discrepancies between calculated values and experimental ones have been analysed to determine whether they are due to cross-sections libraries, nuclear data, calculation models or experimental uncertainties. For Uranium and Plutonium isotopes, the differences between the calculated values and the experimental ones are less than 5% ; the large discrepancies met for the isotopes of Americium led to a re-evaluation of the experimental data. For fission products, differences between calculation and experimental values are less than 10%. Gathering those results, correction factors for the concentration of every isotope will be established. For that purpose, prediction interval technique will be used : this technique defines an interval, around the mean prediction, in which there is a certain level of confidence that the next value observed will be within that interval. Second Task : Determining conservative specific burnup profiles The aim of this sub-group is to determine upper-bound specific burnup profiles for criticality calculations related to transport, interim storage and reprocessing of spent fuel assemblies. By definition, an upper bound profile would lead to the most reactive situation, for a given average burnup and a given configuration. The work carried out by this sub-group is primarily based on experience feedback from operators of power reactors and fuel recycling plants. This work is based on direct or indirect physical measurements of burnup made by companies involved in the fuel cycle. The different types of information taken into account in the studies are (i) the specific burnup profiles measured in the fissile material recycling plants of the Cogema facility at La Hague, (ii) the irradiation profiles determined on the basis of EDF periodic in-service measurements of the axial and radial neutron flux in the reactors, (iii) the results and conclusions of national and international studies which have already been carried out in this area. Measurements made at La Hague Cogema Before dissolving the fuel assemblies in the head-end units of recycling plants UP2-800 and UP3 at Cogema's La Hague plant, the average specific burnup is measured over the entire length of the fissile column and over the 50-least-irradiated centimetres. Gamma ray spectrometry and neutron << Contents spectrometry are used to measure the average burnup of the fuel assembly. The irradiation profile is known through gamma ray spectrometry. Cogema has already measured about 7000 irradiation profiles of fuel assemblies from PWRs with 18x18, 17x17, 16x16, 15x15 and 14x14 arrays and from BWRs with 6x6, 7x7, 8x8 and 9x9 arrays. To begin with, only the irradiation profiles of PWR fuel assemblies are being analysed. The results will be used in two different ways : first of all, they will point out the parameters which have a considerable effect on the burnup profile, then they will give an upper bound burnup profile for every group identified. The work is in progress. Determining profiles with theoretical studies EDF knowledge in power reactor operations enabled them to develop validated calculation tools to accurately predict the fuel changes during irradiation. In addition to these forecasting tools, the neutronic and thermodynamic characteristics of the core are monitored by periodically inserting measurement probes into the pressure vessel and into the very heart of the reactor fuel assemblies. All those data make it possible to determine different groups of profiles using EDF expertise and its calculation tools. The results presented below have been achieved at EDF and are described more precisely in the paper called "Search for an Envelope Axial Burnup Profile for Use in PWR Criticality Studies in Burnup Credit" for ICNC'99. The study is divided in 4 main parts (i) the effects of the irradiation condition on the isotopic composition, (ii) the background related to irradiation histories of assemblies in reactors, (iii) the definition of different axial profiles for penalising irradiation histories and, finally, (iv) the determination of a conservative profile for a wet storage. Since the burnup is mainly due to the flux level, the control rods position has been considered as the main parameter to determine the different burnup profiles. The presence of the control rod modifies the flux level at different height of the assembly ; it also hardens the flux in the assembly. Analysing the fuel assemblies records in the reactors, EDF showed that the flux maps finally couldn't give interesting results as the least irradiated parts of the assembly are more reactive than an average-irradiated one and, then, will have a flux which is not representative of the irradiation history. Moreover, the feedback information for more than 1700 assemblies histories records pointed out that some assemblies have had 2 cycles (at least one assembly underwent 3 cycles) with the control rods inserted. Thus, in order to define the different types of profiles, the calculations have been carried out considering the control rods inserted at a given position during 4 cycles. With the compositions achieved, calculations have been made with TRIPOLI 4 code for a single assembly surrounded by 20 cm of water. The most conservative profile, in terms of reactivity, is not the most distorted one : there is a competition between the gain in reactivity due to a slight irradiation at the top of the assembly and the neutron leakage. Comparison between measured and calculated profiles << Contents The main advantage of the method is that it defines groups of specific burnup profiles using different approaches. This method will reduce the importance of the bias due to the assumptions made in each approach. The upper-bound profiles defined above will be compared to those obtained in other studies. Moreover, for every group of burnup profiles, the margin, in terms of reactivity, will be defined when using the upper-bound profile instead of an other. The upper-bound profiles will also be compared from one group to another. The aim of that subgroup is to provide to all of the other subgroups upper-bound specific burnup groups, with their validity ranges and the recommendations on how they should be used. Third task : Upper bound irradiation history for criticality The aim of this sub-group is to list and prioritise, in terms of degree of conservatism, the reactor operating stages, which should lead, for a given burnup, to differences in isotope concentration used in the criticality studies. Then, an irradiated history will be defined, which maximises the reactivity of the assembly for a given burnup. The parameters that have been analysed are : specific power, boron concentration, down-periods and moderator temperature. The computer code used is the APOLLO 2 code with CEA 93 library. Effects of the conditions of irradiation For uranium oxide fuels enriched at 3.7%, Enriched Reprocessed Uranium (URE) and for gadolinium fuels, the studies have shown that, after 4 cycles of irradiation (i) the reactivity of the unloaded fuel increased with the specific power, the boron concentration and the moderator temperature, (ii) the reactivity decreases when the shutdown periods increase. Those tendencies are the same after 1 cycle of irradiation, except for URE and for gadolinium fuels, which present a slight increase in the reactivity when the moderator temperature decreases : the neutrons are better-moderated and therefore lead to a more important consumption of the neutronic poisons (236U for URE and Gd for Gadolinium fuels). This effect disappears after one cycle of irradiation. However, the effects on the reactivity of the assembly are always lower than 800 pcm. Origin of the effects Since concentrations are controlled by time-dependant phenomena (radioactive decay) and production/disappearance reactions under flux, a list will be made of the various situations involving time or influencing flux (level, energy form etc.) with their effects on concentrations. For a given burnup, an increase of the irradiation period, which gives an increase in the flux level, leads for actinides to (i) an increase of the 241Pu depletion to 241Am (absorber), (ii) a decrease of the 239Pu due to the 239U depletion (this is an end-of-life effect). For fission products, it gives (i) an increase of 155Gd as more 155Eu is depleted, (ii) an increase of 147Sm which compensates the decrease of 149 Sm (on one hand if the flux decreases, the number of absorption of 147Pm decreases and so the 147Sm increases ; on the other hand, as the number of absorptions of 147Pm (giving 148Pm) decreases, the number of 149Pm decreases and, then, the number of 149Sm decreases) . << Contents For a given burnup, if the spectrum is more thermalized then (i) for actinides, the fissile isotopes will decrease (there will be fewer absorption of 238U and more absorptions of 235U) and the plutonium isotope concentrations will decrease too (the decrease of the absorbers will be less important than the decrease of the fissile isotopes), (ii) for fission products there will be a decrease of their concentrations with neutrons absorption during the irradiation (except for fuel with burnable poison, this effect is negligible as it is less important than the decrease of the fissile isotopes). Conclusion The conservative assumptions for the history of irradiation lead to the hardest spectrum and the shortest time of irradiation : the boron concentration will be equal to the maximum boron concentration, the moderator temperature will be the outlet temperature, the specific power will be equal to the maximum nominal specific power, a single-cycle of irradiation will be considered. If no cooling time is considered after reactor shutdown, the 239U will conservatively be converted 239 into Pu. For a single assembly surrounded by 20-cm of water, the increase of reactivity due to those assumptions is about 1500 pcm. Furthermore, the margin between a real irradiation history and those conservative assumptions plus the conservative profile defined by EDF (as described above), will now be determined at FRAMATOME with the 3D-calculation scheme SCIENCE. Fourth task : Modelling the specific burnup profile The aim of this sub-group is to use the upper bound profiles achieved by the first sub-group to determine a modelling method suitable when considering burnup profiles in criticality studies for transport and interim storage of spent fuel assemblies. The assumption of a flat average distribution equal to the average value of burnup over the end 50-cm will be abandoned in favour of a multi- segment model. The work will therefore focus on determining the number N of zones and each zone length. For a given configuration, the keff will be plotted versus the number of zones. The number N is set when an increase in the number of zones does not imply any significant variation of the keff value. Calculation assumptions The study will focus on three actual burnup profiles, namely two 17x17 PWR arrays. Initial 235U enrichment is 4.5%. The first profile used corresponds to fuel assemblies which have undergone four- cycles in the reactor (average irradiation standing at about 40 GWd/t) ; the two others are related to fuel assemblies which have undergone only two-cycles in the reactor (average irradiation standing at about 20 GWd/t) and one of them was irradiated with control rods inserted. The actinides used in the calculations are 235U, 236U, 238U, 238Pu, 239Pu, 240Pu, 241Pu, 242Pu and 241 Am. The fission products used for the calculations are : 103Rh, 133Cs, 143Nd, 149Sm, 152Sm and 155Gd. Together these six fission products give 50% of the reactivity loss produced by all fission products. Nine other fission products could be added to the previous list : 95Mo, 99Tc, 101Ru, 109Ag, 147Sm, 150Sm, 151 Sm, 145Nd and 153Eu. This group of 15 fission products accounts for around 80% of the reactivity loss produced by all fission products. << Contents Two discretizations of the burnup profiles have been employed (they are described in the figures below) : using equal intervals of ∆l or using equal intervals of ∆(BU). The computer codes used are CESAR 4, APOLLO 2(3), MORET 4 (the two last computer codes are part of the CRISTAL(4) package). ∆ BU constant z ∆l fuel z constant assembly BU Results BU Up to now, four different configurations have been studied, they concern : (i) a single assembly surrounded by 20 cm of water, (ii) an interim storage of 9-cavities-baskets with an assembly which accidentally fell nearby, (iii) an interim storage of 9-cavities-baskets in which assemblies have been moved off centre and, finally, (iv) an interim storage of 9-cavities-baskets in which assemblies stand higher than the borated internal structures. The calculations showed that, for the axial profiles used, a 13-zone discretization seemed to be sufficient. For a burnup of 40 GWd/t, the gain on keff (keff decreases) due to fission products is between 6 000 and 7 000 pcm with 15 fission products and between 4 000 and 5 000 pcm with 6 fission products. The profiles, defined by EDF within the frame of the second sub-group, will now be studied for the configurations described above and for some transportation cases. Some special libraries for CESAR 4 will be created to take the presence of control rods into account. The "Fission Products" programs The French working group gives the method that could be used to take burnup into account. Nevertheless it is necessary to know how codes can correctly predict the reactivity when fission products are considered. For that purpose, two experimental programs are currently being run at IPSN and at CEA in collaboration with Cogema. In 1991, the IPSN designed and carried out a preliminary series of experiments involving one of the fission products, 149Sm in order to qualify the criticality calculation system. So that this qualification can be extended to the other five fission products selected (103Rh, 133Cs, 143Nd, 152Sm and 155 Gd), the IPSN and Cogema have joined forces to draw up and finance experiments in the context of a Common Interest Program, based on a gradual qualification strategy. The aim is to qualify the new criticality calculation system CRISTAL, by means of experiments involving the 6 fission products. << Contents The experiments will be carried out at the IPSN's criticality station at VALDUC. The principle of the experiments is a sub-critical approach to find the water critical level. The advantage of this type of experiment is that the experimental set-up is similar to the configurations usually encountered in the transport, interim pool storage and dissolving of spent fuel assemblies. An other program intends to measure the effect, in terms of reactivity, of the most important nuclei for "Burnup Credit". It involves oscillation experiments carried out in the Minerve reactor (CEA) at Cadarache, which can be used to validate the effective cross-sections and the loss of reactivity due to each fission product in the "Burnup Credit". The principle of the experiments is to measure the reactivity changes caused by slight disruptions in the neutron equilibrium in the Minerve reactor when an experimental fuel rod containing a sample (for example, a UO2 pellet containing a selected fission product) is inserted into the centre of a fuel rod array. The results are now available and the calculations are in good agreement with the measured values. They are presented in the paper titled "Burnup Credit for Fission Product Nuclides in PWR (UO2) Spent Fuels" for ICNC'99. Those experiments should now be analysed to determine whether it is necessary or not to use some additional correction factors on the fission products concentrations or to define a calculation margin that should be kept. An additional program aims to qualify the abundance of nuclei responsible for most of the "Burnup Credit". This programme is based on chemical analysis of spent fuel assemblies and on microprobe measurements, which supply the information required to qualify the fuel inventory calculations. Conclusion The scope of the program which has been carried out is highly indicative of the interest industrialists are taking in the evolution of calculation techniques used to take burnup into account in criticality safety studies concerning transport, interim pool storage and dissolving of spent fuel assemblies. The objective for the coming years is to create a complete method containing all the expertise developed by the working group, with the aim of establishing a more fully optimised way of taking specific burnup into account in criticality safety studies, while demonstrating its conservative nature.

The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has demanded that the Central Bureau of Investing (CBI) probing the illegal mining case against Gali Janardhan Reddy include Kadapa MP Y.S. Jaganmohan Reddy as an accused as his involvement has been established now.
Talking to mediapersons here on Monday, senior TDP leader K. Yerran Naidu said that the CBI inquiry had established that Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy had played a key role in the transfer of mining lease from Ramamohan Reddy to Mr. Janardhan Reddy by sidelining the application of N. Konda Reddy, son of former Proddutur MLA N. Varadarajulu Reddy.
Hiding the truth
By not revealing the fact to the media that Mr. Konda Reddy was present when he was being questioned by the CBI in the illegal mining case, Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy had tried to hide the truth, Mr. Yerran Naidu alleged.
Instead of clarifying on their leader Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's alleged threatening of Mr. Konda Reddy, the YSR Congress leaders were resorting to mudslinging on Telugu Desam Party president N. Chandrababu Naidu, he said.
The reported deposition of Mr. Konda Reddy before the CBI as a witness in the illegal mining case and his claim that he was threatened not to press for getting the Obulapuram mining lease had established Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy's role in the allotment of the lease to Mr. Janardhan Reddy.
This was done with the help of his father and former Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, Mr. Yerran Naidu said.
The Red Gold and R.R. Global companies that invested in Sakshi were floated only after the allotment of Obulapuram mining lease to Mr. Janardhan Reddy, Mr.Naidu pointed out and suggested that the CBI file FIR against Mr. Jaganmohan Reddy.

opposed to Host Co-location
Many established online businesses and e-commerce web site companies are actually using server hosting to enhance their own dependability, protection, and general online performance. Dedicated server refers to the kind of web hosting exactly where a whole host is actually leased to some single individual or company business. The benefit of this type of web hosting is that you can have total control over the performance and assets from the server. If you think that your company or even web site requires much more resources than shared web hosting, cheap server work best selection for you. Dedicated server web hosting allows you to personalize the host as per your particular needs. Nevertheless, you don't personal the actual server, but rent it from a company that provides dedicated support. The web hosting organization will also supply equipment, web connection, RAM, as well as data transfer for any certain amount of money. They will additionally conserve the security from the host and also the information. The dedicated sever will come in two options, windows dedicated sever and Linux dedicated server. Sever co-location implies that a person lease a space from the co-location web hosting supplier to accommodate your own serious. In this kind of web hosting, you could have limitless physical access to your own serious. However, dedicated web hosting doesn't permit you use of your server and server co-location thus remains regarded as the best option kind of web hosting for the internet sites that need access to their machines. There are a handful of web hosting companies that offer both dedicated providers and co-location options. The host co-location provider additionally offers the clients with continuous web connectivity, twenty-four hours a day security, and backup machines. Nevertheless, maintenance of the server is not their own obligation, however your own. There tend to be two types of server, handled dedicated server, as well as unmanaged dedicated server. In the handled dedicated server hosting, the web web host manages checking as well as managing the server, while, by having an unmanaged dedicated server, you are accountable for taking care of your host. If your company has financial resources to buy servers, apply for something co-location web hosting. Initially, the actual dedicated server is cheaper compared to sever co-location, however in the long run they be expensive. However, each server hosting and server co-location can provide quick and dependable web hosting services towards the people and businesses. They also provide total manage within the server and it is resources. The major difference between these two web hosting options is that within dedicated server hosting, you are renting host, data transfer, and network connection whilst in the host co-location you are renting room, bandwidth, and system link.

Real Housewives of Orange County
Looking for the latest on Real Housewives of Orange County? We've got all the latest Real Housewives of Orange County news, gossip, photos, and more!
Call it the show responsible for launching the Housewives craze! The Real Housewives of Orange County debuted on March 21, 2006 and centered on five women living in Coto de Caza, a gated community of Orange County, and their lavish lifestyles. Needless to say, the concept was a runaway hit and has since spawned six other Real Housewives series and five international versions.
Of the five original Real Housewives of Orange County cast members, only Vicki Gunvalson remains seven seasons later. Joining her for Season 8 are Gretchen Rossi (who joined in Season 4), Tamra Barney (who joined in Season 3), Alexis Bellino (who joined in Season 5), Heather Dubrow (who joined in Season 7), and the newest housewife, Lydia Stirling-McLaughlin.

Heir To Billions Arrested In Wife's Death
An update on our post from Wednesday headlined "Heir To Billions May Have Lived With Wife's Body For Days In Britain":
Today in a London court, the BBC says, a police detective testified that Hans Kristian Rausing "has been arrested on suspicion of [Eva Rausing's] murder."
But, adds The Telegraph, "police are still waiting to question the 49-year-old after interviews were suspended on Tuesday so he could be treated for alcohol withdrawal."
As we wrote Wednesday:
"Eva Rausing, a 48-year-old American and one of Britain's richest women, was found dead at her London home on Monday. ... The couple met about 25 years ago at a drug rehab clinic. In 2008, the BBC writes, 'Mrs. Rausing and her husband ... faced drug charges after crack, heroin and 52g of cocaine were found in their home. Mrs. Rausing had been arrested after she allegedly tried to smuggle small amounts of crack cocaine and heroin into the U.S. embassy in London. Charges were then dropped and a caution issued instead.'

|Seller's Description
Here is a very unusual Russian made, "VOSTOK" 22 caliber, semi auto target pistol. It has USSR markings and no import stamps, indicating it was brought into the US before the GCA of 1968. My understanding is that some were imported into the US in the late 50's or early 60's. It is a Target Model, with thumbrest target style grips, the sights are very intricate and fully adjustable and the there is an over travel screw in the trigger guard. Very nice trigger pull. The "wings" on the front of the slide are used for retracting the slide. I would rate the overall condition at 98%. Just some minor thinning on the grip straps. Grips are perfect. Matching numbers. Be the first kid on the block to own your very own "VOSTOK". I'll need a signed FFL and $20 shipping. NO RESERVE!!!

'Dog' Chapman Settles Bitter Fight With Reality TV Producer
But A&E won't yet release millions of dollars in funds from "Dog the Bounty Hunter."
One of the entertainment industry's longest-running cases has resulted in a settlement, but of course, it can't end without some additional complication.
For six years, Duane "Dog" Chapman has been fighting with Boris Krutonog, an executive producer on the A&E series Dog the Bounty Hunter, over money from the show. The case has touched a New York state court, a New York federal court, a California state court, a Hawaii federal court, the California Labor Commissioner and a California appeals court.
After a marathon of intense litigation, it's nearly over. Chapman and Krutonog have made up. Or at least it would be almost finished except for the fact that neither has been able to attain the settlement money. After cancelling Dog the Bounty Hunter last year, A&E isn't quite ready to release millions of dollars from the show that is sitting in a bank.
To take a step back, Chapman's relationship with Krutonog dates back to 1994 to a "Life Story Option Agreement," whereby Krutonog acquired rights to develop movies and TV shows featuring the bounty hunter.
STORY: 'Dog' Chapman Scores Big Legal Victory Against 'Bounty Hunter' Producer
Eventually, that led to Dog the Bounty Hunter, which premiered in 2004. Krutonog was an early co-executive producer on the series and was entitled to received payments per episode.
Later, a fight broke out between Chapman and Krutonog over money, and the reality star asserted that Krutonog's role was more of a manager or agent.
For six years, the parties have been fighting in various courtrooms about this.
We'll spare the full gory details except to say that in 2010, A&E Television Networks filed an interpleader action in New York federal court. The company deposited $4 million of money from Dog the Bounty Hunter with the idea that Chapman and Krutonog would tussle over the funds, and at the end of the battle, it would transfer the money to whomever emerged victorious.
Well, in late March, a federal judge in New York granted Krutonog summary judgment in part, saying a jury couldn't read the agreement to relieve A&E of the obligation to play Krutonog. (Read the ruling here.) Then, a mediation happened, and Chapman and Krutonog arrived at a settlement. The two figured out a way to divide the $4 million.
But A&E isn't quite ready to write that check.
The network is making some demands before it disburses the money. Chapman has been asked to release potential claims against the network over the canceled show and pay about $1.2 million in legal fees. Meanwhile, the attorneys for Chapman and Krutonog -- Marty Singer and Howard King, respectively -- have turned from bitter legal enemies to frustrated friends-in-arms.
Says Singer, "A&E was supposed to be Switzerland. They have to release the funds."
A&E declined comment, citing the confidentiality of the mediation.

Four arrested following multiple fights on Miami Beach, police say
Miami Beach police made four arrests for disorderly conduct and intoxication after a massive crowd converged on the sand over the holiday weekend.
Detective Vivian Hernandez said "multiple fights" broke out in the early evening Monday as an estimated 2,000 people tried to make their way home from the beach between Sixth and Eighth streets.
A massive crowd made their way to the jam-packed sandbar of Miami Beach this weekend, with the Valentine's Day and President's Day holidays, as well as the Miami International Boat Show and the beginning of the college Spring Break season.
"Our city is very unique in terms of special events and it's been happening for years, so we plan accordingly," Hernandez said. "In terms of officers we are prepared, especially during the eight- to 10-week period during Spring Break."

My husband and I were in Paris for 3 nights. Pier was a nice host he received us at the agreed time and showed us the apartment. The studio was as described, lightful and clean. Great located within a walking distance of many Paris attractions and nearby 2 metro stations. WIFI was fast. It worked perfect for us and we'll recomend the place. Thanks Pierre!
The space was clean and had everything that is needed. The apartment is also close to the Arc and not too far from the Eiffle Tower . The only problem is that it's on the 6th floor so it was a chore coming back home and once i was home I was less likely to go out again because of the 6 flight hike. The WiFi was also really fast and dependable.
I booked this apartment for my family. They're very happy to stay there. It was clean and there was everything you need.
Pierre was a good host and helpful.
I will recommend this place.
The apartment is perfectly located between Arc de Triomphe and Trocadero/Eifel Tower in an upscale neighborhood. Very recommended to everyone who wants to experience Paris main sights in a few days! Pierre was a good host, quickly responding to our inquiry. We had some great days in Paris. Thanks! :-)
Le studio de Pierre était très bien, conforme à la description. Spacieux, très lumineux, bonne literie, douche très correcte. L'emplacement est parfait pour rayonner vers la Tour Eiffel en 15 min de marche, ou vers le Trocadéro et les stations de métro les plus proches (5 min de marche).
Nous n'avons pas pu rencontrer notre hôte, mais toutes les démarches par téléphone ou mail ont été rapides et efficaces.

Type: Improvement
Status: Closed
Priority: Minor
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 4.1.7
Fix Version/s: 4.3.0.Beta1, 4.2.1
Component/s: core, entity-manager
Environment:4.1.7, EntityMode.MAP
Requires Release Note:Affirmative
Last commented by a user?:true
Suitable for new contributors:Yes, likely
According to the documentation, the old Hibernate criteria API is deprecated and the JPA criteria API should be used in its place. Unfortunately the Hibernate implementation of the JPA criteria API doesn't support EntityMode.MAP. This prevents developers from using JPA criteria queries for dynamic systems (systems which don't use classes to represent types).
I've created a branch in GitHub (https://github.com/koehn/hibernate-orm) to address this issue. It allows developers to use EntityTypes and names to look up types and properties, respectively. The developer can then create a Hibernate configuration with PersistentClasses, Tuplizers, InstanceAccessors, etc. which may be used with the JPA Criteria API.
Note that the implementation doesn't require the use of Map as the type to represent a type. The existing code makes some strong assumptions that Map implementations must represent the type.

Very cool!
Gonna try to get this in for 4.3. 4.3 is JPA 2.1 implementation though. I'll have to dig into the changes to see if I can port this to 4.2; that will depends on whether any apis or spis were harmed in the filming.
Not sure what to tell you. People and CI servers run this build fine every day on many of those same set ups. So I don't think it is environment problem.
Btw, as I pointed out before, I cannot guarantee this "feature" wont regress (especially in the short term) because there are no real tests for it. In fact, the test you added passed even though building this JPA metamodel clearly fails in most/all situations with MAP entity-mode prior to my changes from today.
I can add some additional tests if needed. I have a small suite that I used as a proof of concept that I could generify for this.
That would be immensely helpful
Pull request submitted. It's a big test, but it pretty thoroughly exercises the system.
Great. I have a hard time with the build because I always get the following errors, whether on Cygwin, Windows 7, or OS X.
