A Net-Twit is an over user of the popular site "twitter". Net-Twits feel important by replying to celebrities and posting their own tweets and pretending that people follow. The other guideline to being a Nit-Twit is that they log into twitter multiple times per day and are addicted to it.

Did you like the Bonta/6-in-1 combination better than the 6-in-1 alone--or whatever other sauce you may have been using for deep dish?Also, how big (diameter) was the pizza? In general, is there a rough relationship between the diameter of a deep-dish pizza and baking time, or do you just look for browning to know that it is done?

VATICAN CITY -- Guests at the going-away party for Carlo Maria Vigano couldn't understand why the archbishop looked so forlorn. Pope Benedict XVI had appointed Vigano ambassador to the United States, a plum post where he would settle into a stately mansion on Massachusetts Avenue in Washington, D.C., across the street from the vice president's residence.
"He went through the ordeal making it very clear he was unhappy with it," said one former ambassador to the Vatican, who attended the Vatican Gardens ceremony in the late summer of 2011. "And we just couldn't figure out, us outsiders and non-Italians, what was going on."
There was no such confusion within Vatican walls. Benedict had installed Vigano to enact a series of reforms within the Vatican. But some of Rome's highest-ranking cardinals undercut the efforts and hastened Vigano's exile to the United States.
Vigano's plight and other unflattering machinations would soon become public in an unprecedented leak of the pontiff's personal correspondence. Much of the media -- and the Vatican -- focused on the source of the shocking security breach. Largely lost were the revelations contained in the letters themselves -- tales of rivalry and betrayal, allegations of corruption and systemic dysfunction that infused the inner workings of the Holy See and the eight-year papacy of Benedict XVI. Last week, he announced that he will become the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign.
The next pope may bring with him an invigorating connection to the Southern Hemisphere, a media magnetism or better leadership skills than the shy and cerebral Benedict. But whoever he may be, the 266th pope will inherit a gerontocracy obsessed with turf and Italian politics, uninterested in basic management practices and hostile to reforms.
VatiLeaks, as the scandal came to be known, dragged the fusty institution into the wild WikiLeaks era. It exposed the church bureaucracy's entrenched opposition to Benedict's fledgling effort to carve out a legacy as a reformer against the backdrop of a global child sex abuse scandal and the continued dwindling of his flock.
It showed how Benedict, a weak manager who may most be remembered for the way in which he left office, was no match for a culture that rejected even a modicum of transparency and preferred a damage-control campaign that diverted attention from the institution's fundamental problems. Interviews in Rome with dozens of church officials, Vatican insiders and foreign government officials close to the church, many of whom spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution, mapped out that hermetic universe.
"We can reveal the face of the church and how this face is, at times, disfigured," Benedict said in his final homily on Ash Wednesday. "I am thinking in particular of the sins against the unity of the church, of the divisions in the body of the church." He called for his ministry to overcome "individualism" and "rivalry," saying they were only for those "who have distanced themselves from the faith."
A radical transformation of the culture is unlikely. "We're talking about people who have given their life to this institution, but at the same time the institution has become their life," said one senior Vatican official. "Unlike parish priests, who have the personal rewards that come with everyday contact, their lot is not as human. It's bureaucratic, but it becomes all-consuming."
The entire debacle, he said, "wasn't a communications crisis. It was a management crisis."
The leak came from within the pope's inner sanctum. On most mornings, the pope's butler, Paolo Gabriele, left his apartment, just inside the Vatican walls, before 7 a.m. He walked past the plumed Swiss Guards and into the Apostolic Palace, where he worked in the third-floor papal apartments. His black gelled hair, dark suits and fleshy cheeks became so familiar around the Vatican Gardens that clerics affectionately called him Paoletto.
"I was the layman closest to the Holy Father," Gabriele would later say. "There to respond to his immediate needs."
The official duties for the married father of three included laying out Benedict's white vestments and red shoes, serving his decaf coffee and riding with the pontiff in the popemobile. Unofficial chores included absconding with copies of the pope's personal correspondence, including letters from Vigano, whose grievances Gabriele found especially compelling.
The butler read letters fleshing out how Vigano, an ambitious enforcer of Benedict's good government reforms, had earned powerful enemies. In early 2011, a series of hostile anonymous articles attacking Vigano began appearing in the Italian media. Under duress, Vigano appealed to the pope's powerful second in command, Secretary of State Tarcisio Bertone. Bertone was not sympathetic and instead echoed the articles' complaints about his rough management style and removed Vigano from his post.
This set in motion a blizzard of letters that passed through the office Gabriele shared with the pope's personal secretary. In one missive, Vigano wrote to Bertone accusing him of getting in the way of the pope's reform mission; he also charged Bertone with breaking his promise to elevate him to cardinal. Vigano sent a copy of this letter to the pope. In a separate letter to the pontiff, Vigano dropped the Vatican's "C word": corruption.
"My transfer right now," he wrote, "would provoke much disorientation and discouragement in those who have believed it was possible to clean up so many situations of corruption and abuse of power that have been rooted in the management of so many departments."
In another, he described more "situations of corruption" in which the same firms habitually won contracts at almost "double the cost" charged outside the Vatican. Vigano cited savings from cutting the amount spent on the annual Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square from 550,000 euros in 2009 to 300,000 euros in 2010.
Vigano's efforts failed, and he was soon dispatched to Washington. Bertone and Vigano declined to comment.
"In other circumstances, such an appointment would be a reason for joy and a sign of great esteem and trust in my regard, but in the present context, it will be perceived by all as a verdict of condemnation of my work, and therefore as a punishment," Vigano wrote to the pope on July 7, 2011. He suggested that "the Holy Father has certainly been kept in the dark."
The butler agreed and sought an unorthodox way to get the pope's attention. Through intermediaries, Gabriele reached out to Gianluigi Nuzzi, an Italian investigative reporter. In clandestine coffee bar meetings, anonymous associates of Gabriele vetted Nuzzi, the journalist later wrote, and drove him around in circles to shake loose potential followers. When Nuzzi jumped through sufficient hoops, he met Gabriele in an empty apartment near the Vatican furnished with only a plastic chair. The two established secret Thursday meetings, and Gabriele left letters in drop boxes; Nuzzi sewed a computer thumb drive into his necktie. One day, the butler showed up to the rendezvous empty-handed, only to reveal 13 pages of documents taped to his back, under his jacket. Nuzzi, who referred to his secret source as "Maria," used the material to write "His Holiness: The Secret Papers of Pope Benedict XVI," a blockbuster book published last year.
As the media hunted for moles, or "crows" as they are known in Italian, Gabriele's office mate, Monsignor Georg Gaenswein -- a former ski instructor and papal confidant known as Gorgeous George -- cracked the case. Vatican gendarmes found 82 boxes of documents in the butler's apartment and arrested him.He was tried, convicted and jailed for several months before the pope personally pardoned him.
"Seeing evil and corruption everywhere in the church, I finally reached a point of degeneration, a point of no return, and could no longer control myself," Gabriele explained to Vatican investigators. A shock, "perhaps through the media," Gabriele continued, could "bring the church back on the right track."
If the intention of the leaks was to force the ouster of Tarcisio Bertone -- the secretary of state blamed for exiling Vigano and undercutting reforms -- the effort failed.
While Benedict was the public face of the universal church, Bertone, for now, remains the private power broker who runs the Vatican on a daily basis. In 2006, Benedict appointed Bertone, his longtime doctrinal sidekick, to secretary of state -- the second-most-powerful position in the Vatican. An amiable, soccer aficionado who shares the pope's passion for cats, Bertone, 78, had little international experience. This prompted concern among the church's elite diplomatic corps, which interpreted his appointment as a threat to the traditional Vatican career track. Bertone bore out their fears, essentially doing away with papal audiences for returning ambassadors. He ensured that many of the newly elevated cardinals were Italian loyalists, and he adopted a wide-ranging travel schedule that many considered an overreach.
Angelo Sodano, John Paul II's secretary of state and Bertone's predecessor, has not hidden his disregard. "It was quite visible," said a former ambassador to the Vatican. "Sodano was a real insider, and you could tell that he thought Bertone was a real outsider and that he had no legitimacy in that position."
But Bertone worked diligently to consolidate power. His allies control the church's main financial institutions, prompting one official to write in a leaked document that traditional checks and balances had been ignored. "They say that our principal point of reference is the Secretary of State," the letter read, "yet in many cases he's precisely the problem." Bertone's position also meant he presided over the Vatican Bank, a post he appeared to use to impede Benedict's financial reforms.
Benedict, for example, had issued a decree for the Vatican to adopt international money-laundering norms to combat the financing of terrorism. This initiative would allow outside auditors to examine the Vatican's financial books. For an institution historically allergic to scrutiny, this constituted a revolution. He subsequently created a Vatican watchdog to oversee a whole swath of financial activities, from the Vatican Bank to the Vatican pharmacy and supermarket. But the leaked documents depicted Bertone's efforts to defang Benedict's watchdog and to keep power for himself.
"Bertone wanted to have a monopoly on relations with Italy," an Italian official with close ties to the Vatican said.
But there is a pervasive view among some of the Vatican's top cardinals that, despite the breadth of Bertone's involvement in church affairs, he is out of his depth. A confidant of many cardinals said that Bertone has personally acknowledged his limitations. According to the insider, many of the Vatican's highest-ranking prelates have reported that Bertone had tendered his resignation but was turned down by the pope. Few of them foresaw that Benedict would be the first to leave.
The next pope will inherit a government with a rather Byzantine approach to cleaning house, a place where demotions are peddled as promotions. Like the U.S.-bound Carlo Maria Vigano, many insiders believed the butler's supervisor, James Michael Harvey, would be shunted aside in royal fashion.
One morning last November, Harvey stepped inside a curtained-off nook of St. Peter's Basilica to pray at the tomb of John Paul II. For nearly 15 years, Harvey, a tall and gaunt Wisconsin native and comparatively youthful at 63, enjoyed close proximity to John Paul II and then Benedict as head of the papal household. On this day, he would join a handful of other prelates in kneeling down before Benedict, who would bestow birettas upon their heads and elevate them to the exclusive college of cardinals. As horns blasted from high above the basilica's bronze doors, Harvey, clad in scarlet, led a small and internationally diverse procession down the nave. Lebanese and Nigerian flags waved in the packed pews. A roar went up as Benedict appeared in a gold stole, coasting over the buffed marble on a rolling platform.
With the exception of Gabriele, the butler, then locked up in a Vatican jail, all the major players in the leak drama attended. The gendarmes who had raided Gabriele's top-floor apartment patrolled the floor in blue uniforms with flat-topped caps. Cardinal Bertone prayed in the front row. Among the 97 cardinals illuminated in a shaft of white light behind Bertone, potential "crows" perched.
Benedict appointed Harvey to a new job as titular cardinal priest of the St. Paul Outside the Walls basilica. It seemed like the honor of a lifetime, but for Vatican insiders and officials, the move amounted to an exquisite eviction. As the head of the papal household, Harvey had overseen Gabriele, and his new assignment seemed a classic example of promoveatur ut amoveatur -- promote to remove. (Benedict later banished his former butler with a silence-encouraging sinecure to a hospital adjoining Harvey's church.)
After the ceremony, Vatican officials charged with running the church shrugged off the scandal.
"They are little things, pebbles in the shoe that hurt so much and seem to prevent you from going forward," said Cardinal Giovanni Lajolo, who supervised Vigano during the height of VatiLeaks. "If one looks at the act of betrayal, it is in itself a grave act, even more so because it is near the apex of the church. But what does this tell us? It tells us only about the fragility of a person or of some people."
A few hours after the ceremony, the Vatican offered the public a rare chance to enter the Apostolic Palace where the pope lives and Gabriele had worked as butler. Inside the palace, Harvey accepted congratulations at the end of the barrel-vaulted Sala Regia.
"We all feel very hurt for him and for what was done," he said of the butler's leak. "That's the common sentiment of all us here, because it was a hard thing to accept. But it's a difficult thing for the whole church."
The Vatican's reaction to the leak scandal was not to address its inner flaws but to burnish its outer image.
Enter Twitter and Fox News.
Claire Diaz-Ortiz, Twitter's liaison to religious institutions, wrote the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See looking for a Vatican contact. Soon after, she and Paul Tighe, the No. 2 official at the church's social communication department, started talking about the possibilities of a Twitter account for the pope. They racked their brains for the perfect handle, but the Vatican's main concern, Diaz-Ortiz said, was: " 'Is there any chance this account is going to get hacked?' "
At about the same time, the Vatican hired away a Fox News reporter. In June, Bertone's office rang Gregory Burke, a veteran correspondent in Rome and member of Opus Dei, a conservative and influential Catholic lay organization. They wanted him to bring a "common-sense journalistic view of how things are going to play out" to the church, Burke said, adding that they needed someone to "help craft the message."
Burke, well-liked and respected by reporters, doesn't look like a Vatican operative. On a rainy afternoon, he showed up late at a restaurant near the Pantheon in a trench coat, swinging a long umbrella. With his thicket of auburn hair and ruddy complexion, he looks more corn- than cannelloni-fed.
"I'm within the 15-minute Roman grace period," he said in Italian. Burke's approach to media, like his Italian, bears a strong American accent. "I would love to bring some Roger Ailes into this job," he said. "The difference is Roger Ailes has a lot of power, and I have very little."
Since joining the Vatican, Burke has sought to make the Vatican media operation less reactive. He said there remains within the Vatican a view that the church will survive another 2,000 years regardless of scandals, and while that might be true, "you can do a lot of harm in the meantime." He organized a field trip for reporters to the Vatican Bank, housed in a round 15th-century fortress that sits below the Apostolic Palace like a footstool. He has proposed embedding a virtual tour of the bank on the Vatican Web site. "From a normal press point of view, it's not thinking outside the box," he acknowledged.
Burke and company developed a two-pronged damage-control strategy to confront the leak scandal: heap blame on the butler as a simpleton suffering delusions of grandeur and use the Vatican trial that convicted the butler as evidence of the church's commitment to transparency.
"I don't think we got enough credit for what we've done," Burke said. "It might not have been perfect. But 10 years ago, would there have been an open trial?"
The Vatican pointed back to the butler's day in court and the pool of eight reporters taking notes as exhibit A for openness. "There was a sense of great responsibility to guarantee the transparency," said head judge Giuseppe Dalla Torre, noting that the defense wanted to keep the trial private. "The entire international press would have said, 'What is this?' They observed it, saw it, heard it."
They didn't hear everything. During the trial, Dalla Torre relied on the Vatican's 19th-century penal code to forbid Gabriele from discussing his contact with assorted cardinals. According to the law, Gabriele hadn't disclosed the substance of those conversations before trial and so couldn't do so in the courtroom.
Some church officials acknowledge that there needs to be greater commitment to openness among the Vatican's leaders. Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli runs the Pontifical Council for Social Communications, which has been on the forefront of the church's engagement in social media. Celli pointed to his lips: "You see, what I say here," he said, moving his finger to his temple, "starts here." But here, he added, as his finger lingered, "has to enter a new culture. And the new culture is sharing."
But even with the trial over, the Vatican's focus has remained on the message, rather than on changing the culture. In December, reporters packed into a Vatican briefing theater for a news conference to introduce the world to the Twitter account @pontifex, meaning both "pope" and "bridge builder."
The pope's Twitter followers went from single digits to 2,000 in 30 minutes. (@pontifex currently has more than 1.5 million followers.) The panelists made the case for Benedict using Twitter to drop "pearls of wisdom," and they answered questions about the account's infallibility ("it's a papal teaching") and its durability (it would be used after Benedict's departure).
After the news conference, Diaz-Ortiz, the Twitter liaison who had flown to Rome for the event, said the "launch plan" for the pope was "similar to the Obama town hall but obviously a much more toned-down version." The main takeaway of the day, she said, was "the pope joining Twitter should just be an encouragement for all of us to essentially keep tweeting." In return, the Vatican got a greater presence in the modern world. It also, as the packed briefing room attested, shifted the subject for the media away from scandal.
On a rainy December day, Benedict clapped along with jugglers, lion tamers and puppeteers in the Vatican's Clementine Hall as the church opened its arms to the world of itinerant circus performers. While a woman wearing a cat mask twirled four hula hoops in the hall, Monsignor Giuseppe Sciacca was chauffeured across a piazza behind Vatican walls to greet a visitor.
"Good morning, dottore!" Sciacca called from the passenger seat of a small blue Volkswagen. Sciacca, the successor of Vigano, the central player in the leaks scandal, is a sprightly and gregarious Sicilian who walks around Rome doffing his hat to the waiters and storekeepers. He tends to stop walking when he has something to say, with the expectation that his audience will stop to listen.
Sciacca, who will play a principal role in organizing the papal transition, has a reputation for intelligence and honesty, but unlike his reform-minded predecessor, he is considered loyal to Tarcisio Bertone, Benedict's No. 2. When asked for an interview as he window shopped for vestments on Via dei Cestari, behind the Pantheon, he said he first needed to see the questions and get permission to talk. He shrugged off the suggestion that an official request should go through the Vatican press office.
He would need permission, he said, from Bertone.
As the Volkswagen rolled to his Vatican apartment, Sciacca claimed that he had overruled Bertone and his lieutenants in agreeing to an interview. "They told me not to talk to you!" he said, jokingly comparing himself to a "shepherd who invites in the wolf."
The driver pulled up to Palazzo San Carlo, a centuries-old apartment building opposite the Vatican's private gas station. Above the few steps, renovated with wheelchair access for the aged prelates, a polished gold plate held the names of the building's residents. On a lower floor were offices belonging to one of the Vatican's financial institutions. On the top floor lived one of the cardinals Gabriele had named as a sympathizer of his concerns about the Vatican.
Sciacca's home is a spacious L-shaped apartment warmed by thousands of books broken into sections reflecting his years as a Latinist, high school teacher of literature and philosophy, canonist and judge on the church court. He pointed out a portrait of Benedict overlooking the hallway that he had commissioned.
"Economics, the budget, transparency! This is what I think about," he said. "It cost a couple hundred of euros. It's not necessary to spend more. Plus Michelangelo's not around anymore."
Sciacca had his good-governance talking points down. In the corner of his bedroom, opposite a purple clerical robe hung on the outside of a wooden armoire, a single bed lay under a modest comforter. ("I'm single" he joked.) In the study was a faux-marble statue of the Good Shepherd with a sheep draped over his shoulders that he had picked up "at a good price in the Vatican museums," he said.
Over espresso and a couple of slices of pandoro at the kitchen table, covered in mandarin oranges and marmalades offered to him at the morning's Mass, Sciacca said he'd later offer a tour of the Vatican grounds "with my cheap car. I've always had little cars because when I was a kid in Sicily, I noticed that people got angry if they saw priests in luxury cars. Decorum, yes, solemnity in worship and the liturgy, but the private life should always be poor."
He took a seat on a burgundy leather couch in his study and read six typed pages he had prepared in response to transparency questions.
He paid heed to "my predecessor, the former Secretary General Vigano," for imposing more rigorous checks on spending and the rewarding of contracts, which "I maintained and enhanced." As a testament to his belt-tightening, he pointed to the church-owned organic cattle farm outside Rome that provided the Vatican with less-expensive beef. Mindful of the exorbitant costs Vigano targeted for the Nativity scene in St. Peter's Square, Sciacca focused on a cut-rate deal he had reached on a centerpiece.
"This year, we will have a full savings," he said. He added that the pope was pleased about the budget discipline, that the region was delighted about the publicity and that the Vatican workers expressed no misgivings.
"They were all happy. They congratulated me. They said, 'What good news!' If they were angry they would have demonstrated their own dishonesty," he said, referring to the workers. With his script lowered, he continued, "They're not so stupid. This is also the proof that everyone worked well."
Sciacca offered a hard copy of his answers and a jar of peach marmalade as he selected a bottle of wine for his lunch meeting with a powerful French cardinal from the diplomatic corps. Sciacca asked a Washington Post reporter to put his number in the prelate's phone, an old flip-style cell. The reporter accidentally stumbled upon Sciacca's list of contacts and backed off. "Go ahead!" Sciacca said. "There aren't any mobsters in there. There's nothing to hide."
Downstairs, he asked a gendarmes officer to lend him a driver and a car, small and economical, he specified, to escort his guest on a tour of the sprawling, immaculate gardens. From the passenger seat, he pointed out elaborate fountains, the old Vatican train station and the grotto where Benedict takes a walk every afternoon. The tour concluded at Saint Anne's Gate, near where the butler was then being held. Sciacca promised an electronic copy of his answers on a disk. He later provided a Verbatim floppy disk.
Minutes later, the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, called an unexpected news conference across St. Peter's, where tourists posed in front of a circus tent, a clown performed magic tricks and workers set up the season's Nativity scene.
The Gabriele affair, Lombardi said, should be considered a "closed chapter." He stepped off the stage and noted how the pope, out of his respect for transparency, had studiously kept out of the butler's trial to ensure the independence of the judges.
The theater door opened and the sound of a circus troupe playing "March of the Wooden Soldiers" filled the press office. Among the journalists filing their stories was Giovanna Chirri, the Italian reporter who would on Feb. 11 break the news of the pope's resignation. "Guys," she shouted to her colleagues over the band, "You think it's a metaphor that the circus is in town?"

Rihanna Gets Political In Her New 'American Oxygen' Video
August 23rd, 2007
If you believe everything you read on gossip blogs and Page Six, then Britney Spears recently backed out of a scheduled duet with her ex, Justin Timberlake. And of course people seem to be baffled by her decision, like, who wouldn't want to work with JT, right?
I realize I may be in the complete minority on this – and it's already prompted a couple of heated debates – but I for one am glad that Britney didn't do it. Her decision not to work with Justin has actually made me respect her a little bit more this week. Why, you ask? Because why SHOULD she work with someone who, time and again, has put her on blast? Would YOU want to work with your ex after Cry Me A River? Or after they "jokingly" revealed private details of your relationship? (Keep in mind, that all happened way back when Brit still kept a few details of her life to herself…)
I know I wouldn't. Maybe Brit's decision shows that she still has an ounce of pride left in her.
And you know what, if Britney DOES have a huge comeback I do NOT want Justin to get the credit for saving her career. I might enjoy his songs, and yes he is talented – but JT is also, in my opinion, terribly overrated. I can hear the gasps already…and YES, I do believe that's true. If I have to hear ONE more time that he's "the new MJ", I'm going to scream…
I am really bummed, though, that Britney also dissed Timbaland in the process. Now THAT pairing could have been awesome…

VEHICLE Vapid Double Cab Pickup | |
(Rear quarter view; Rear and side view of the truck) | |
Vehicle type | Civilian truck |
Body style | Large double cab pickup truck |
Capacity | 4 (driver and three passengers) |
Appearance(s) | Grand Theft Auto V |
Manufacturer | Vapid* |
Related vehicle(s) | Unknown pickup truck |
An Unnamed Truck makes its debut appearance in Grand Theft Auto V. The badge placed on the grille appears to resemble that of Vapid.
The truck's design features a linear theme and appears to be inspired by North American styling featured on the second generation Ford F250 Super Duty.
The front of this truck illustrates the linear theme of the truck's design; the most distinct feature of the front face is the large, chrome-edged rectangular grille. The manufacturer emblem is located centrally, above a chrome horiszontal strip. The headlight units are adjacent to the grille and are rectangular in shape. Beneath the grille and headlight units is the front bumper, which protrudes from the front face more than the grille. The hood of the truck features an elevated area whose edges are formed by boundaries that run from a corner of the grille to the windshield (parallel to the body's edge).
The sides of the truck further reinforce the linear design theme; being formed from a number of staright lines. The lower area of the body is elevated, with edges parallel to the base of the body. The truck features flared wheel arches to create a more muscular appearance. The main body line that splits the lower body from the upper body is entirely straight. The main body line runs from just above the top of the headlight units across to the rear face of the truck. Like the F250, the side windows of the truck feature a step near the A-pillar. In the small stepped area, wing mirrors are mounted on a polymer insert. The greenhouse is also a linear formation and the roof features five small lights near the front. The rear windshield of the cab is split into three sections. The truck features side steps which span the cabin area. The truck features industrial-style wheels, wrapped in medium profile tires.
The rear of the truck completes the linear theme; having an entirely rectangular rear face. In between the main body line and elevated lower body area, the rear light units are placed. The rear light units are rectangular and placed on the corners of the body, they appear to be split into four sections. The rear bumpers at the base of the rear face protrude further than the levated area. The bumpers are split so that a central rear tow hitch is accommodated for.

The rules for the Improv Cartoon Jam were as follows: 1) Each participant receives a paneled template with a number of panels equal to the number of team members upon which a comic strip will be drawn 2) The Jam Moderator will randomly draw one character, one setting, and one object from the story seeds from which the first team member will use to start their comic strip. Story seeds for this jam included one of each of the following: character, setting, object -- each participant brainstormed several of each to be placed in a hat and drawn at random. 3) The Jam Moderator will repeat the process a number of times equal to the number of participants the team has, so each participant should be working the first panel of a comic strip by the end of this process. 4) Each participant has TEN minutes to complete the first panel of their strip. o The panel does NOT need to use each story seed, but ALL seeds must be used in the strip by the time the last panel has been drawn. o The story seeds can be used literally OR as words in word balloons, captions, or thought balloons. Example: If someone drew a slip of paper that said ?Castle,? the cartoon can take place in a castle, or maybe the word "Castle" simply appears in the strip text. 5) Once the first ten minutes is up, each team member passes the strip they've started to the next team member. Each participant works on the second panel of the strip they've been handed, keeping in mind that they will need to integrate any unused story seeds into the strip by the time it is completed. Each participant has TEN minutes to complete the second panel of their strip. 6) Pass strip to the next team member. Repeat for the third and/or fourth panels. By the last panel all team members should have worked on each strip and all story seeds must have been utilized. |

County gets half-million for Rich Fire damage
Joshua Sebold
Staff Writer
Community Development Commission (CDC) Executive Director David Keller announced at a December CDC board meeting that the county would be receiving $526,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Disaster Recovery Initiative.
Keller said $150,000 would defray costs on the safety element of the county General Plan update, while other funds would go to various work in the Tobin area to address damage caused by the Rich Fire in 2008.
Keller successfully lobbied for Federal Emergency Management Agency funds that were previously used to pay for work on the Tobin water system.
Plumas Corporation Executive Director John Sheehan told the commission these funds would pay for the remaining costs from the water system repairs along with forestry and erosion mitigation work.
Keller thanked Sheehan and County Planning Director Randy Wilson for their work on the funding application.
The CDC director also told the board he approached the U.S. Forest Service about funding for work in the nearby Rush Creek area, at Indian Valley Commissioner Robert Meacher's request.
He indicated the request was gaining ground within the Forest Service.
Sheehan said the effort began by using Title III funds to have a forester inspect the fire damage near Tobin and Rush Creek.
He said it quickly became apparent Rush Creek wouldn't fit into the Disaster Recovery Initiative application, so that part was presented to the Forest Service as a request for funds from the Rich Fire settlement with Union Pacific.
The Rich Fire was attributed to welding work by the railroad, leading to a $17.4 million settlement with the Plumas National Forest (PNF).
Sheehan said the PNF forwarded the county's request for $629,000 from that pool to the regional office for work to restore damage near Rush Creek.
He added that the PNF recommended the request be approved but the county would have to wait for the regional office to make a final decision.

Use Meltdown-Proof Modular Nuclear Reactors, Says Top U.S. Scientist

Smaller reactors means lower costs, which in turn mean lower risk to investors
Argonne National Laboratory
's former chief scientist and director,
Robert Rosner
, is on a mission to sell the nation on a clean
"small modular reactor" (SMR)
nuclear power solution.
I. Good Things Come in Small Packages
As the new director of the
Energy Policy Institute
at the
University of Chicago
(EPIC), Mr. Rasner has devoted much his energy into guiding public policy towards financially optimal "green solutions."
With funding from his former research facility, Professor Rasner and his colleague Stephen Goldberg -- a special assistant to Argonne's new director -- examined reactors ranging from the tradition gigawatt scale, down to smaller megawatt-scale designs.
The report simplified the equation a bit, removing interest and construction time. It dubbed this simplified metric "overnight construction costs". It puts the cost of a kilowatt of new nuclear capacity at $4,210 USD for a large plant -- nearly twice what large-scale capacity cost in 2004. The remedy, it argues, is smaller reactor designs.
Professor Rasner cites "commodity price changes and other factors". While he does not explicitly elaborate on those "other factors" in his press, release, he's likely referring to the strong public animosity for nuclear power in the U.S., in the wake of
the Fukushima Japanese nuclear disaster
But the veteran researcher says those who lump modern nuclear reactors with decades old legacy designs like the reactors at Fukushima are ignorant of the scientific reality. He states to the contrary, "[Modern reactors] would be a huge stimulus for high-valued job growth, restore U.S. leadership in nuclear reactor technology and, most importantly, strengthen U.S. leadership in a post-Fukushima world, on matters of nuclear safety, nuclear security, nonproliferation, and nuclear waste management."
CSIS president and CEO
John Hamre
concurs, commenting that the new reactors are virtually meltdown-proof. He remarks, "The entire heat load at full power can be carried passively by thermal convection. There's no need for pumps."
Critics, it would seem -- tend to write a blank check to solar and wind power when it comes to environmental impact, land impact, safety, government funding, and risk -- while looking to sharply admonish nuclear power firms from seeking those same benefits.
II. Modular Mass Production Holds the Key to Profits, Halting Lawsuits
Again, he says the cheapest way to get their is to develop a modular construction process, perhaps somewhere around the 600 MW scale. Rather than being custom-built on site, parts could be mass-produced at factories and then shipped to the new reactor for "easy assembly".
Mr. Hamre says its not just public sentiment that's holding reactors back -- it's the staggering scale of large reactor cost. A gigawatt scale reactor would cost a company $10B USD to deploy and would not see a pay for 7 to 9 years.
He opines that small reactors currently look like the best energy solution, other than natural gas use. He says natural gas is less desirable too, because it's a commodity and its cost in 15 years could radically shift.
Mr Hamre and Professor Rasner say that the government must step in as a customer to help small nuclear manufacturers build up factories and deployment networks. Even at small scales, initial costs will likely be too high versus traditional "dirty" power technologies like oil and coal, they argue.
"The faster you learn, the better off you are in the long term because you get to the point where you actually start making money faster." says Professor Rosner. But while there is a rush to get these solutions out there, he warns that he's not advocating a rush to judgment. He adds, "It's a case that has to be argued out and thought carefully about. There's a long distance between what we're doing right now and actually implementing national policy."
Another good thing about SMRs mentioned in the report is that they could serve as direct replacements to fossil fuel power plants. Given the fact that many coal plants produce around 200 to 400 MW, a SMR could be fitted as a direct drop-in, versus current larger designs, which require special grid accommodations.
Another positive
mentioned in the report, is that SMRs would likely strike a blow to opponents who hope to
cripple the clean power technology with lawsuits and protests
. Rather than having just one target to focus their wrath on, landowners and "environmentalists" would be forced to divide their time and money between several deployments per state, depleting their resources.
U.S. nuclear power stands at a crossroads. Proponents want it to move ahead to new technologies, and they have backing from some top scientists. But for every ounce of science leverage in support of nuclear there's and equal violent emotional backlash from public critics [Image Source: Georgia Times Blog]
So what do you think? Should the U.S.
follow in France's bold footsteps
and invest big in nuclear, even if it requires mild government "seed funding"? Or should it go in the opposite direction and
pull a Japan
, turning its back on nuclear energy? Or should politicians simply sit there and keep their mouths shut, as President Obama has appeared to do (a reversal of his
vocal pre-Fukushima support
of nuclear development) -- in an effort to avoid angering either side?

RE: thorium
Also, to be clear, in traditional light water reactors, the (primary) coolant water is under pressure and is used to boil a separate (secondary) loop of water to steam that isn't under pressure through a liquid/liquid heat exchanger.
"The whole principle [of censorship] is wrong. It's like demanding that grown men live on skim milk because the baby can't have steak." -- Robert Heinlein

But here's the thing: I sort of hate being alone. I joke to Alex that, if it were up to me, I'd be surrounded by a huge group of people 24 hours a day. One accidental night in Paris was fine, but had it been any longer, I'd have felt restless, a little lonely.
New York Times writer Stephanie Rosenbloom, however, recently took a solo trip to Paris and raved about the experience:
It was easy in Paris to surrender to the moment. But why? What alchemy transmuted ordinary activities, be it a walk across a bridge or the unwrapping of butter, into a pleasure? My default speed in New York is "hurtle," yet in Paris I dragged the edge of a fork across an oyster with a care better suited to sliding a bow across a violin.
This was not simply because I was in Paris, though it has long held a kind of magic for many Americans. It was because I was there on my own. In a city that has been perfecting beauty since the reign of Napoleon III, there are innumerable sensual details — patterns, textures, colors, sounds — that can be diluted, even missed, when chattering with someone or collaborating on an itinerary. Alone one becomes acutely aware of the hollow clack of pétanque balls in a park; the patina of Maillol's bronze "Baigneuse se Coiffant" that makes her look wet even on a cloudless day in the Tuileries; how each of the empty wine bottles beside sidewalk recycling bins is the embodiment of someone's good time. There is a Paris that deeply rewards the solo traveler.
Sounds meditative, right? I just asked my friend, who is working across from me today, if she'd want to take a vacation alone, and she answered, "Desperately. I fantasize about it all the time." When I asked her where she would go, she answered, "Oh my God, anywhere."
What about you? Have you traveled alone? Did you enjoy it? Would you jump at the chance to soak up a place by yourself, or not so much? Where would you go? I'm so curious...
P.S. A version of traveling alone (that I can handle), and my friend Sharon takes a solo trip every year.

Gowanus is an area of South Brooklyn in between Boerum Hill, Red Hook, Carroll Gardens and Park Slope.
Gowanus is separated from neighboring Red Hook by the Gowanus Expressway and has the Gowanus Canal running through it. The bay of Gowanus was the first site of the Dutch settlers when they arrived in Brooklyn and its convenient waterfront location meant the area has been economically and historically significant for a long time.
