This links are not proper studies, just some news - if you trust everything you read in newspapers and saw on TV - you are not too smart.
Can we have some scientific papers with statistics etc? And I don't understand german, sorry.
Atmosphere does indeed saves us from most of solar radiation and X-rays is also radiation...
But your initial claim was that people die from small doses... there is your small doeses - I did xray few times so far and I often relax in the sun, yet I'm alive.
If the power plant is operating at normal conditions - it is safer than getting xray once in a year.
http://www.scientificamerican.com/ar...-nuclear-waste (another newspaper, but you seem to accept them as a proof)
Also burning coil leads to global warming, which leads to ozone layer shrinking and it is the thing that protects earth from solar radiation, ironic, isn't it?
Afaik radioactive smoke detectors containing americium-241 are banned in Germany and France although they are permitted in other EU Member States, such as the Netherlands, where they are sold in DIY shops.smoke detectors with radioactive materials are against the law in germany and its against the law in the hole europe.
only the very very very (ironic part here) smart USA people do use radioactive materials in smoke detectors.
Again, I can't read german and wiki article says station was closed due to maintenance costs.in german we have very hard and multiple retested clinical studies that child's get blood cancer if they life 30km in a radius to an nuclear power plant.
now you make your joke again?
i hope your child will grow up near by a nuclear power plant and i hope your child get cancer just because you are a nuclear power fan boy.
the germans prove you wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/THTR-300
the german build your modern (ironic)"SAVE" -thorium high-temperature nuclear reactor-
and they prove it wrong in "safety"
now whats up ? your modern super save thorium-high-temperature-nuclear-reactor isn't save..
so you are a liar.
I fail to understand how living near nuclear reactor where radiation levels are not higher than anywhere else and lower than in xray room where doctors actually work whole day can be a harm.
Ecology = your health either way.i don't care about ecology if it comes to human healthy like nuclear power plants.
Consumer solar panels can't really power a big factory, and solar power plants with power output compareable to a modern nuclear plant will be quite big - you need to cut down some trees to put there a solar plant.liar my own 10,5 kwp solar-electric-power plants use ZERO space.
and most of the german solar power stations are ZERO SPACE ones.
Also solar panel production is not a cleanest technology in the world: "Making solar panels, which are in many ways directly descended from semiconductors, also produces toxic byproducts that could sicken living beings, warns the SVTC. Among these are caustic liquids like silicon tetrachloride, dusts and nanoparticles like kerf (a remnant from cutting silicon ingots), and potent greenhouse gases like sulfur hexafluoride."
And studies show that more people get hit by cars vs dead from radiation exposure - not an argument. And my point was green energy is in fact not that "green".LOL--- not really studies show that cars kill 10000 times more birds.
and you can build wind plants in places without any birds and you can build wind mills without any bird effect
for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savonius_wind_turbine
Besides this ones you linked can't produce much power, otherwise we'd built those, not normal ones.
The amount of people, and other effects the continued use of coal especially (as well as gas) on medical, ie respiratory illness from soot has caused far more injuries and death than nuclear power.
Coal is also alot dirtier than nuclear power. Nuclear power can and still si advancing. Coal isnt.
We are NOT going to replace our current main power sources of Coal/Other fossil fuels with a high output and reliable renewable energy source, within the next 10 or 50 or 100 years at our current development.
We CAN do that with Nuclear pwoer, in sync with other green power sources. Nuclear pwoer is way cleaner than many currently used power sources, and efficient for large scale uses.
OC 100% renewable and green power is ideal, but it cannot happen with the way humans are in any reasonable amount of time.
This must be the worst bullshit I've ever read in phoronix. Chernbyl area is being partly repopulated because of Ukraine goverment claiming its safety. Does it mean ANYTHING? No. Because:if you actually go to a Chernobyl zone you would see a plenty of animals there nowadays and some humans too, therefore you claims is a pure bullshit.
a) Goverments wait until the fobia is over to make this kind of announcements, followed by no real data or measurements, because NO goverment would tolerate that a 100sq Km area in their country is gone FOREVER because of an error they did. Radioactivity will stay forever (hundreds of years), but why waiting when you can persuade people to go and live there once the fobia is over?
b) Birds are the happiest animals with radioctivity, they are almost the only kind of animal surviving without any problem in the Cernobyl area. That's reassuring, isn't it?
c) Radioctivity after a nuclear station failure will stay in the area forever (with forever, I mean longer than you, your sons and the sons of your sons can ever live). Hope someone builds a nuclear station 20kms from your house so you see how it feels. Would you still be worried by coal pullution? Will coal pollution ever destroy (forever) a 100sq Km area in your country? EVER.
There is ionizing radiation all around us and has always been. Cosmic radiation from supernovae, ultraviolet radiation from sun, radiation from naturally occurring radioactive elements - its all been there throughout the evolution of life and humans. We evolved with ionizing radiation and our cells are adapted to it. As a matter of fact it is likely that too little radiation is also harmful.
Another thread by Qaridarium that gives me a sore face and palm!
You obviously read too much into the media. For the very few nuclear accidents that have happened.... ever, there have been very few actual deaths caused. A lot more people are, and have been, affected by the coal industry that will take over in Germany now.
Coal burning actually releases more radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere than nuclear power. As an example uranium-235 is usually found in coal mines and it gets mined, burnt, and vaporised into the atmosphere for you to inhale! Nice!
Qaridarium, just please tighten up that strap on your tinfoil hat!
Of consequences lasting for a thousand years.. yes, just like with coal mines.For the very few nuclear accidents that have happened....
Yes, but is coal burning known for contaminations of huge areas that can never EVER be sanitized again? NO.Coal burning actually releases more radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere than nuclear power. As an example uranium-235 is usually found in coal mines and it gets mined, burnt, and vaporised into the atmosphere for you to inhale! Nice!
Also, are coal mines releasing more radioactive isotopes into atmosphere than a failed nuclear station? No. Than a working one? Maybe (I believe you). But do they produce a nuclear waste that is unclearly handled by mafias all over the world and trown nobody knows where? No.
Anyway, coal burning, like nuclear power, is not the way to go, but people talk about solar and wind energy like something doomed to NEVER be able to satisfy a nation's power needs, probably assuming that scientific research and improvements are only happening in the nuclear world. But this doesn't make any sense.
You got more radiation sitting in aeroplane over 10km than living next to nuclear powerplant.

Mailing list cancellation
"No pity allowed!" This has always been the slogan of the Association of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists worldwide (AMFPA) - a motto that is lived consistently in this self-help organization up to the present day.
For more than 50 years the association has been helping and supporting artists who are - due to an impediment or an illness - unable to create their works of art with their hands, but their mouths and feet.
No pittance
The artistic activities are by no means supposed to be understood as an excuse for earning pittance. The association makes great artistic demands on its members. Special emphasis is placed on the personal abilities and individual talents and not on the artists' physical impediment.
The association acquires the authors' rights for reproducing the pieces of art and sells them worldwide via its publishing partners as art printings, art cards and art calendars. In order to sell the originals, exhibitions are organized all over the world. Acquiring one of these masterpieces, however, is not considered to be a donation; the earnings are given to the association's scholarship holders, members and associated members in the form of scholarships and monthly financial help.
Postal dispatch several times a year
The association's publishing partners send the various products to interested people or potential buyers several times a year. If you received such a consignment that you don't want, we would like to ask you to either pass it on to friends or other acquaintances, or to send it back to the according publishing house.
To make sure you don't receive one of these consignments again, please be so kind and fill in the form below and send it to us. We will immediately forward your cancellation to the responsible publishing partners.
Nevertheless we are looking forward to welcoming you on our web site from time to time, and invite you to have a look at our artists' gallery. Of course you can always acquire a piece of art in our online shop. Please note, however, that the motives might differ slightly from country to country.

Joy Gryson's diffusion line Olivia Harris (named after the handbag designer's daughter) possesses the same qualities that you'll find in Gryson's flagship collection of bags — supple Italian leather, minimalist hardware, and easy, versatile silhouettes — but at more accessible price points. Olivia Harris's trapezoid satchels, brightly colored hobos, clutch purses, and sassy drawstring numbers — with well-placed tassels here, and asymmetrical zippers there — are as fun to carry as they are practical. Often credited with designing some of Marc Jacobs' most iconic handbags, Gryson has become a household name for bag-obsessed fashion lovers. After working for Jacobs and other prestigious labels such as Coach and Calvin Klein, the NYC native launched her namesake line of luxury handbags and accessories in 2006. The following year, she added Olivia Harris. Every Gryson bag features meticulous detailing and reflects the cosmopolitan essence of her hometown.

Report: Change Vermont energy project reviews
MONTPELIER The public should have a greater voice in picking the locations of Vermont electricity generation projects like wind turbines and the state should speed up the approval of smaller projects, a panel recommended Tuesday.
The commission formed by the governor released its final report Tuesday after six months of work. The recommendations come as Vermont considers more renewable energy projects, with a goal of 90 percent renewable energy by 2050.
The panel recommended:
n Increasing emphasis on energy planning at state, regional and municipal levels and providing funding and tools to do that.
n Simplifying location selection for energy projects, improving predictability and timing in the permit process, and providing incentives for community-led projects.
n Expanding opportunities for public engagement.
n Making procedural changes to increase transparency, efficiency and coordination.
n Updating environmental, health and other protection guidelines.
The administration said the recommendations lay out a path for regional plans to receive substantial consideration before the Public Service Board, a quasi-judicial panel that supervises Vermonts public utilities.
The commissions recommendations will help towns and regions to better engage in our energy planning and to increase their roles before any proposed projects are considered, said Public Service Department Commissioner Christopher Recchia.
I believe the collaborative, bottom-up approach the commission outlined will guide us toward better outcomes for energy development.
The three-member Public Service Board has seen consistent growth in the number of electric generation applications in the past decade, the report said.
The projects have brought up new issues related to land use, natural resources and health impacts requiring updated location guidelines and regulations, the report said. The processes currently in place were set many years ago when only centralized power plants existed in Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin issued an executive order Oct. 2 to create the panel, known as the Governors Energy Generation Siting Policy Commission. In its six months of work, the commission did site visits and held public hearings.
The Vermont Natural Resources Council, one of the organizations that called for a commission to address concerns about new energy projects, said the report offered helpful recommendations to move smaller scale projects forward faster while requiring a more robust public engagement process for larger projects.
The report offers some solid recommendations to adjust how and where energy generation projects are sited to ensure that Vermont adequately avoids the degradation of critical resources while significantly increasing our reliance on clean energy, said Brian Shupe, VNRCs executive director.MORE IN Vermont NewsBOSTON Winters full fury arrived late in much of the country, but once it did it was...

Long turn radius with large shovels
Full rocker profile for float on deep days
These skis come with either a full rocker or early-rise tips along with wide waist to help you stay on top of the snow when you measure the 24-hour totals in feet instead of inches. Some full-on powder skis run a full rocker with very little contact length, but these can get pretty sketchy on the groomers. Because of this, most powder skis include a bit of camber for added edge control but keep an early rise tip that lets you float above the good stuff.
These skis are for deep, deep snow with more soft snow underneath. They generally do pretty well when things get chunky, but powder skis can be downright sketchy on hardpack.
Expect either a full rocker or an early rise tip with a wide waist and even wider shovel. Skis with a bit of camber underneath will give you added control on the groomers.
Turn Type:
You'll find every turn radius under the sun in powder skis. Some like a long turn radius for opening up on an untracked couloir, and some like a shorter radius to make powder turns easier.

The purpose of the mysql_install_db script is to generate new MySQL privilege tables. It does not overwrite existing MySQL privilege tables, and it does not affect any other data.
If you want to re-create your privilege tables, first stop the
mysqld server if it is running. Then rename
the mysql
directory under the data
directory to save it, and then run
mysql_install_db. Suppose that your current
directory is the MySQL installation directory and that
mysql_install_db is located in the
directory and the data directory is
named data
. To rename the
database and re-run
mysql_install_db, use these commands.
shell>mv data/mysql data/mysql.old
shell>bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
When you run mysql_install_db, you might encounter the following problems:
mysql_install_db fails to install the grant tables
You may find that mysql_install_db fails to install the grant tables and terminates after displaying the following messages:
Starting mysqld daemon with databases from XXXXXX mysqld ended
In this case, you should examine the error log file very
carefully. The log should be located in the directory
named by the error message and
should indicate why mysqld did not start.
If you do not understand what happened, include the log when
you post a bug report. See Section 1.8, "How to Report Bugs or Problems".
There is a mysqld process running
This indicates that the server is running, in which case the grant tables have probably been created already. If so, there is no need to run mysql_install_db at all because it needs to be run only once (when you install MySQL the first time).
Installing a second mysqld server does not work when one server is running
This can happen when you have an existing MySQL installation, but want to put a new installation in a different location. For example, you might have a production installation, but you want to create a second installation for testing purposes. Generally the problem that occurs when you try to run a second server is that it tries to use a network interface that is in use by the first server. In this case, you should see one of the following error messages:
Can't start server: Bind on TCP/IP port: Address already in use Can't start server: Bind on unix socket...
For instructions on setting up multiple servers, see Section 5.7, "Running Multiple MySQL Servers on the Same Machine".
You do not have write access to the
If you do not have write access to create temporary files or
a Unix socket file in the default location (the
directory), an error occurs when
you run mysql_install_db or the
mysqld server.
You can specify different locations for the temporary
directory and Unix socket file by executing these commands
prior to starting mysql_install_db or
mysqld, where
is the full path
name to some directory for which you have write permission:
shell>export TMPDIR MYSQL_UNIX_PORT
Then you should be able to run mysql_install_db and start the server with these commands:
shell>bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell>bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &
If mysql_install_db is located in the
directory, modify the first
command to scripts/mysql_install_db
See Section B.5.4.5, "How to Protect or Change the MySQL Unix Socket File", and Section 2.13, "Environment Variables".
There are some alternatives to running the mysql_install_db script provided in the MySQL distribution:
If you want the initial privileges to be different from the
standard defaults, you can modify
mysql_install_db before you run it.
However, it is preferable to use
to change the
privileges after the grant tables have
been set up. In other words, you can run
mysql_install_db, and then use
mysql -u root mysql
to connect to the
server as the MySQL root
user so that you
can issue the necessary GRANT
and REVOKE
If you want to install MySQL on several machines with the
same privileges, you can put the
statements in a file
and execute the file as a script using
after running
mysql_install_db. For example:
shell>bin/mysql_install_db --user=mysql
shell>bin/mysql -u root < your_script_file
By doing this, you can avoid having to issue the statements manually on each machine.
It is possible to re-create the grant tables completely
after they have previously been created. You might want to
do this if you are just learning how to use
and have made so many
modifications after running
mysql_install_db that you want to wipe
out the tables and start over.
To re-create the grant tables, remove all the
, and
files in the
database directory. Then run the
mysql_install_db script again.
For MySQL versions older than 3.22.10, you should not
delete the .frm
files. If you
accidentally do this, you should copy them back into the
directory from your MySQL
distribution before running
You can start mysqld manually using the
and add the privilege information yourself using
shell>bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables &
shell>bin/mysql mysql
From mysql, manually execute the SQL commands contained in mysql_install_db. Make sure that you run mysqladmin flush-privileges or mysqladmin reload afterward to tell the server to reload the grant tables.
Note that by not using mysql_install_db, you not only have to populate the grant tables manually, you also have to create them first.

If you get a warning about not being able to create test tables, this indicates a permissions problem. First ensure that the user mysql will run as has the ability to write to the data directories. Note also that SELinux and AppArmor can cause permissions problems, even if the file permissions would allow access. This is a particular issue if you are wanting to run a server in a sandbox. Check the documentation for how to configure these security systems to permit mysql to access the directories in question.

When you install a generic binary on a base Debian Lenny install, there is a leftover configuration /etc/mysql/my.cnf file that makes the script mysql_install_db fail.
Removing the folder and it contents solves the problem.

The Body Shop At-A-Glance
Strengths: One of the few cosmetic companies that lists complete product ingredients on its Web site; affordable; the Aloe Products for Sensitive Skin are appropriate for that skin condition; good selection of eye makeup removers; one of the best pressed-powder foundations around; great pressed powder; liquid eyeliner; lip gloss; nice selection of affordable makeup brushes and specialty products.
Weaknesses: The Tea Tree Oil collection; subcategories that focus on one beneficial ingredient (vitamin E, vitamin C, etc.) to the exclusion of others, making for several collections of one-note products; no effective routine to address blemishes; poor skin-lightening products; surprisingly lackluster to poor foundations and concealers.
This England-based company was one of the first to offer "natural" products in freestanding stores. Founder Anita Roddick opened her first shop in 1976, and the store's success spurred her husband to turn the business into a franchise opportunity, thus spawning the opening of several more stores across England and, by the end of the 1980s, the United States. As Roddick has commented, the timing of her stores and their merchandise occurred just as Europe was "going green." It is not unrealistic to speculate that were it not for the success of The Body Shop, companies such as Aveda, Origins, and numerous others may not have started on such sure footing. Most consumers are drawn to products with natural ingredients, even though those from The Body Shop, like many other companies claiming natural, use the same standard cosmetic ingredients seen throughout the industry. If anything, The Body Shop's worldwide expansion has caused them to rely less on natural ingredients and more on robust, effective, synthetic ingredients. Can you imagine the smell of millions of bottles of Banana Shampoo rotting in a warehouse?
A somewhat controversial business transaction occurred in 2006 when L'Oreal purchased The Body Shop. Fans of the brand and its stance on animal testing protested that this corporate marriage made for strange bedfellows given L'Oreal's dodgy history with animal testing. The acquisition had many consumer groups focused on ethical and organic business practices calling the sale a cop-out and accusing Roddick of selling out to "the enemy." Roddick commented that the sale had more to do with L'Oreal wanting to learn more about community trade, which could prove a financial windfall for the developing nations and tribes The Body Shop has conducted business with for years. (Sources: www.cosmeticsdesign.com/news/ng.asp?n=66584-l-oreal-the-body-shop-takeover-ethical; and http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4894854.stm). Regardless of motivation or ethical issues, what's certain is that L'Oreal's financial and developmental clout will allow the continued expansion of The Body Shop, although in terms of product improvements, you'll find more signs of that with the makeup than the skin-care products because that is L'Oreal's strength.
An attractive point of difference for this line is their ongoing commitment to environmental and social causes as well as fair trade and animal rights advocacy. For those efforts, the company (fueled by Roddick's personal passion for such issues) deserves high marks. If only the products were as sensible as the company's Mission Statement! It's not that there aren't good products to be found in The Body Shop's familiar green-trimmed stores, but far too many of them are ordinary formulations whose natural ingredients make little impact aside from looking good on the label. And many products contain irritating natural ingredients or fragrance components that place them a notch below the competition. This is not a company that has kept up with the latest research in what skin needs to look and feel its best. Instead, most of their products take a one-note approach to skin care, forcing customers to choose whether they want the benefits of vitamin C or E, seaweed, aloe, or a host of others—several of which have so-so benefit for skin, or less so in the amounts included in The Body Shop's products. Still, the line has remained affordable and is readily available, and so as long as you pay attention to the products that are worth your time and money, The Body Shop has some effective products in store for you.
Postscript: The Body Shop's founder, Anita Roddick, passed away in September 2007 at the age of 64. Although through the years we have had my issues with several of her company's products, it must be said that her business acumen and worldwide humanitarian efforts deserve accolades. She was a unique, passionate businesswoman, and we have no doubt her input will be sorely missed.

The Body Shop Makeup
Makeup isn't the main attraction at The Body Shop, at least if you survey the store and notice the small display compared to shelf after shelf of body lotions, butters, scrubs, and shower gels. Yet if you're drawn to the makeup display you will find it is nicely organized, with product labels and prices in plain view, plenty of testers and mirrors, and even a bit of counter space for your purse. It's an inviting setup, and the sales staff is low key and willing to let you play, which is always a plus. As it turns out, L'Oreal's acquisition of The Body Shop has paid off handsomely for the makeup, which received a much-needed spiffing-up in October 2006. Several products were reformulated, new products (mostly improvements) debuted, and the packaging improved both functionally and visually. Due to the extra attention paid to the makeup you will find some outstanding options for foundation, powder, liquid eyeliner, makeup brushes, and creamy lipsticks. The prices are reasonable too, but they're no bargain if you don't shop this line carefully. Still, L'Oreal has infused some panache into a makeup collection whose core products were becoming ho-hum, and the changes are welcome!

Its preformance is bad.... really bad. Has code been directly taken from the classic driver or was this a clean rewrite?
Phoronix: Intel i915 Gallium3D Performance Examined
Last week after a modern Intel Gallium3D driver was proposed for mainline Mesa, a side discussion ended up being ignited about making the i915 Gallium3D driver the default for older generations of Intel graphics hardware. To see where the i915 Gallium3D driver is at compared to the i915 Classic Mesa DRI driver, here are some new benchmarks from aging Intel i945 hardware.
Its preformance is bad.... really bad. Has code been directly taken from the classic driver or was this a clean rewrite?
To be fair, the classic driver has probably had the crap optimized out of it. The performance of the new gallium driver is very respectable considering the limited amount of work that has gone into it and I'm sure if it is made the default that equal performance will be pulled out of it as the classic driver in time.
Of course, that would actually require that i915g driver makes it as the default driver for older Intel hardware, otherwise there is really little incentive to keep working on it. Userbase can be a very powerful motivational tool.
At least it appears to be usable for running an OpenGL-accelerated, composited desktop which all that flashy effects like wobbly windows fluidly without slowdown or lag. I consider that to be the minimum level of performance acceptable for any driver.
Where's the "examined" part of the article?
All I see is benchmarks with similars results to what's already been shown before. I was hoping for an explanation on why performance isn't on par...
"...is changing the default open-source Intel Linux graphics driver for old i915 through i945 IGPs (common to the first-generation Intel Atom netbooks)".
Isn't it common to all atom netbooks except those with PowerVR? e.g. even those with integrated igp on-package, it's still i945 IGP, right?
It's a pity that performance is so bad and even worse with the new driver. In the end, these benchmarks don't really show if normal desktop performance is better or worse, and that is the most important thing for these igps.
Hi Michael
(don't you just love glossy screens - the first pic on the left)
I wonder if worse performance can be related to the more features (or even higher OpenGL version?) exposed. Game could use them and performance would decrease then.
Is there any easy way of disabling some feature to make OpenGL support the same between that 2 drivers?
Someone from intel (ian or eric, i think?) posted a couple patches that brought the classic driver up to GL2.1 and a similar feature set to the gallium driver.
It's really too bad that all the tests here were q3 based engines. I don't think that really tells us much of anything.
Strange... In my gentoo tests on laptop with exactly the same configuration (old Acer Extensa 5210 with gma950, 2 gigs of RAM and cpu upgraded to T5600) gallium driver is from 10 to 30% faster, than classic.
