ANAHEIM, Shay Valencia: The article, "Confrontation over panhandling draws views" [Local, Feb. 2], was written in response to a video posted on YouTube that I also watched. The video details a confrontation between two men, one of whom was picking up his mother from a night of panhandling at the Irvine Town Center at 2 a.m. The other man questioned the first man's behavior.
Apparently the woman sits in her wheelchair and begs passersby for money, claiming her husband has died.
I was both deeply saddened and outraged by this disheartening video. This woman was dropped off at several locations and was expected to panhandle, but she had to do it in the late hours of the night and early hours in the morning during the cold month of December. As an emergency medical technician, I am trained to notice and report possible cases of elder abuse.
A few simple steps may help eliminate problems like these: Be more observant of unusual or deviant behavior toward elders and inform authorities of any suspected cases of elderly abuse. It's always better to take simple precautions that can make a difference to someone's life than to take none at all.
If we all make more of an effort to be more proactive, the world will be better off.
Nonsensical killings
HUNTINGTON BEACH, Drew Kovacs: The killing of veteran Chris Kyle and his friend makes no sense ["Dead SEAL barely knew suspect," Nation, Feb. 5]. My father-in-law, who is now a 90-year-old World War II veteran, along with countless other veterans from his generation, came home after seeing the horrific aspects of war and built a nation of values, went to college, raised families, entered the workforce, were successful and created probably the most successful economic, ethical and moral time in our nation's history.
They sacrificed and resolved to make this country the great nation it is. Our veterans need help for their valor and service to this country, but why has the number of incidences like the one that happened to Kyle risen during the past 10 years? Are we missing something as a nation to help our veterans?
Something does not add up and deserves good dialogue so all this stops. Gun-control laws will not stop it.
The truth about autism
LONG BEACH, Susie Atkinson: J. Jay Gargus, a doctor who is developing "autism drugs," defines autism as a "disease" ["Spark of Innovation," Commentary, Feb. 3]. Really? Then we'd better not come in contact with any autistics or we might all catch it. He is looking for drugs that might "cure" it.
I am a "high-functioning" autistic. And I do not wish to be "cured." I regard myself as having a gift which allows me to see the beauty of the world, while everyone else is running around, jabbering into their cell phones. Gargus thinks folks like me should be brought into the social world through lifelong application of drugs. Perhaps if he had his way, we deviants would be forced into his world.
I don't know any autistics who want to be anything other than what they are. Publishing articles like this does a terrible disservice.
A rising immigration tide
FULLERTON, William McCoy: President Barack Obama and his cronies vow to address immigration reform. Bipartisan or not, these elected officials are simply posturing (again) about a problem that has grown during the past 30 years. Seemingly, nobody has a clue what to do.
There is already a clear pathway to citizenship in this country. Those who are serious and compassionate enough about living here legally will follow that pathway. They will earn their citizenship, something illegal immigrants refuse to do. And why should they? Nobody holds them accountable. They make money illegally, without paying taxes. They send their illegal earnings out of this country to their families in their beloved Mexico.
Greed is at the root of the problem. However, it is not the illegal immigrant's greed I refer to, but, rather, rich business owners who hire these illegal immigrants to increase profit margins. This is the problem. This is where the line must be drawn before anything else.
And it will never change. He or she who has the gold makes the rules. This has been happening for years, without penalty. We searched for the root of the problem, and it lies right here with our own greedy, nonlaw-abiding citizens.
MISSION VIEJO, Darrell R. Schmidt: If you thought the tsunami waves that hit Japan were something, wait until Obama's amnesty proposal takes effect. Our southern borders will be swamped with illegal immigrants trying to cash in, in addition to the 11 million illegals who are already here.

Please be advised that the following information refers to a production from the Met's 2013-14
season. Explore our 2015-16 Metropolitan Opera Season to view the current repertory.
Strauss's bittersweet comic masterpiece features a superb ensemble led by Martina Serafin as the Marschallin. The performances celebrate the 100th anniversary of the opera's U.S. premiere. Edward Gardner conducts.
"Witty, elegant and profoundly moving... a wonderful cast..." (New York Times)
Martina Serafin "express[es] the wistfulness and nobility of the Marschallin... Peter Rose, singing with a ringing bass and convincing Viennese-inflected German, brought out both the menacing and the laughable aspects of Ochs..." Erin Morley as Sophie gives a "thoroughly confident and rounded portrayal," singing with a "limpid, fluid soprano." (New York Times)
Edward Gardner "drew an impassioned and nuanced performance from the Met Orchestra." (New York Times)
"The revival marks the 100th anniversary of this opera's first Met performance. The dramatic coherence and artistic integrity made it feel new." (New York Times)
Martina Serafin "imbued the Marschallin with fine dignity, paying equal attention to vivacity and melancholy." (Financial Times)
Martina Serafin "inhabited [her] part with an aching delicacy. Gorgeous round tones delivered the Marschallin's sweetness, regret, resignation, and wisdom turn by exquisite turn." (Classical Review)
Erin Morley brought "youth and a natural innocence" to the role of Sophie, "matched by a sweet voice that enlivened every scene in which she appeared." (Classical Review)
All performances for this production have passed, and tickets are no longer available.

(AP) Mexico's Senate has given final approval to a labor law overhaul that will allow outsourcing and part-time employment, but drops changes intended to democratize antiquated and authoritarian labor unions.
The bill has already been approved by the lower house and now goes to President Felipe Calderon for his signature. He originally proposed the measure.
The measure's supporters predict it will create hundreds of thousands of new jobs. Critics say the bill strips away job protections and seniority while doing little to combat the sclerotic leaderships that have spent decades in control of many unions.
The bill passed Tuesday is seen as a test of the commitment of the president-elect's Institutional Revolutionary Party to modernization. The party is allied with old-guard union leaders and opposed most of the democracy reforms.

Davis gave up three runs — two earned — and allowed five hits while walking one and hitting a batter in four innings in his first game for Staten Island, which fell to Hudson Valley 6-0 at Richmond County Ballpark.
"It gives me a little experience against a really good lineup up here,"
"Overall, first outing, I felt I did pretty good. I made a couple pitches I wished that I could have back. But that's how it goes. Overall, it was a good experience, being out there in front of the fans. The outcome wasn't what we wanted it to be, but I got some things to work on this upcoming week before my next start. I'm looking forward to that."
Davis, a two-time player of the year for The Daily News, said he's scheduled to make his next start Tuesday against the Aberdeen IronBirds.
The hard-throwing Davis (0-1), who was picked in the 14th round by the Yankees in the 2011 Major League draft, gave up a single to the first batter he faced, left-handed hitting Julian Ridings, who played at Western Carolina and is from
Asked if he was nervous at the start,
"I was trying to work ahead and stay ahead. The walk could have gone either way, I'll put it like that. First batter swung at the second pitch and got a base hit up the middle. After that I kind of realized that I need to get the ball down a little bit and work on throwing my sinker and change-up down in the zone some.
"But he's (Ridings) a good hitter. He finished the night 4-for-5. He was a tough out."
While both are
"But I know him now," he said. "I'm looking forward to seeing him again next time we play him and it should be a different outcome."
"Again, it's a learning experience, first game," he said, adding he his curve featured "some good ones (and) some (that) kind of got away from me a little bit."

Meg Farris / Eyewitness News

NEWORLEANS- Doctors say the economy is putting some patients in danger. That's because they are trying to make prescriptions last longer without telling their doctors. And in some cases, men are more at risk.
When it comes to diet, splitting your portions in half is a weight loss strategy. But when it comes to taking your prescription medicines, half portions could be dangerous. Doctors say one reason for pill splitting is trying to save money.
'I see so many patients who are unable to fill their medications or they get their medications and they don't refill them. And this is particularly dangerous for people who have heart disease, high blood pressure, people who have high cholesterol levels,' said Touro Urologist Dr. Neil Baum.
Dr. Baum says there are three reasons patients split their medicines. One: to save money. Two: because they have trouble swallowing a large pill. Three: because they are getting uncomfortable side effects and hope to lessen them.
'If they don't take the medication as prescribed by the physician, they're putting themselves at a great risk. Many people don't share with their physician that they are splitting their pills and significant numbers of people are doing it,' said Dr. Baum.
Doctors say you should always give them accurate information for your medical records. They can switch you to a liquid Rx if a pill is too big. They can switch you too another formula if you are getting bad side effects and they say don't be embarrassed if cost is the issue.
'I encourage all people who are going to pill split to inform their doctor so it goes on the record. The doctor is aware of it and doctors understand,' he explained about patients who have limited funds.
Some people use scissors or a knife and guess where the center is to split pills. The most accurate way is using an inexpensive pill splitter that costs about $10. But still nothing is exact and that could change the effectiveness, especially if the pill is made to be time released, gradually in your body.
Sadly, people with high blood pressure who decide to take the pills every other day to save money, have had strokes. So have men who don't like the side effect of erectile dysfunction. Instead of asking their doctor to switch prescriptions to one without sexual side effects, they just quietly stop taking them. And that can be life threatening, causing a stroke or heart attack.
Seventy percent of men with side effects from blood pressure medicine stop taking it. But there are medications much less likely to cause problems. Some may even improve erectile dysfunction.

The Billionaire's Vinegar tells the story behind the notorious and controversial Jefferson bottles, a collection of vintage Bordeaux said to have belonged to Thomas Jefferson that subsequently sold at auction for record-breaking prices. The book written by Benjamin Wallace, traces the history of the wines, found in a walled-up Paris basement by German collector Hardy Rodenstock. They include a 1784 Château d'Yquem, a half-bottle of 1784 Château Margaux and a 1787 Château Lafite Bordeaux, which set a record sale price of $156,450 when auctioned at Christie's in 1985. The cache's authenticity has remained a constant source of controversy and has been the subject of several high-profile court cases involving billionaire William Koch and Decanter's veteran columnist Michael Broadbent. In May 2012 it was announced that the book will be adapted into a film starring Brad Pitt.

Hello friends! Glad you're here.
I haven't met all of ya yet, but I do knows a lot of ya. If you're new to our blog, please leave a comment, I'd consider it a privilege to make your acquaintance.
So that you feel welcome, let me introduce you to a few of the folks who are here regularly.
That character over there. That's Compassion Dave. The lady cleaning up after the sheep is Compassion Juli. They're not related…except in their love for Christ.
A couple other cool people here are My Friend Amy, our "blog friend", and Abbie H.
Abbie writes all in his design, and she makes handcrafted dolls she calls "Compassion Friends."
The cool thing about what Abbie is doing is that she's donating all of the money from the sale of each doll (minus materials) to the Global Food Crisis Fund. Each doll costs $36. You should consider buying one.
But if you prefer to win a doll, rather than purchase one, take a look at what My Friend Amy is doing.
Hope you don't mind the plug for Abbie. It's just something that friends do for one another. She likes us. We like her. It's all good.
If you want to buy a doll, send Abbie an email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Customer satisfaction with e-government down slightly but near record highs
Monday - 10/22/2012, 8:06pm EDT
Satisfaction with federal e-government sites — such as the Social Security Administration's online application portal and the Health and Human Services Department's Web-based medical library — have remained high through most of 2012, according to a quarterly report from ForeSee and the American Customer Satisfaction Index.
On a 100-point scale, customer satisfaction with federal websites now sits at 75.3. That's actually down slightly from last quarter, which set an all-time high, according to the latest report.
But the continued strong performance allowed e-government sites to score more highly than comparable private-sector e-business sites — a reversal of longstanding trends, the report stated.
The results, compiled from about 300,000 surveys, measured 106 federal websites. Websites were grouped into three categories.
- E-commerce/transactional sites — The government's e-commerce-type websites posted the highest scores.
The Social Security Administration's iClaim website, which allows users to apply for benefits online, and its retirement estimator both scored in the low 90s, outpacing high-performing private-sector sites, such as Amazon.com.
- News and information sites — Overall, government news and information sites scored 3 percent higher than comparable private-sector news and information sites.
These sites include the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's Resource Center as well as the Health and Human Services Department's MedlinePlus site, a repository of medical information from the National Library of Medicine.
- Main agency websites — However, overall, main agency websites ranked below private-sector portals and search engines in satisfaction surveys.
The highest-scoring federal website is the HHS' National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, which scored an 88. All told, HHS had five of its sites in the top 10. Others included NASA, the FBI main site and the Defense Department's main site.
More Americans interacting with government online
The report pointed more broadly to the fact that increasingly Americans are choosing to interact with the government online as opposed to through traditional methods.
"Any website that can meet the needs of its visitor will drive satisfaction and have a direct impact on behavior, and the pay-off is well worth the investment," said Larry Freed, president and CEO of ForeSee, in a release. "Research shows that highly satisfied citizens are more likely to recommend or return to the website, or use it as a primary resource before other more costly channels like call centers than less satisfied website visitors."
That trend is promising, since online services are often more cost-effective than brick-and-mortar call centers, for example.
Still, the authors of the report sounded a note of caution.
"Though it is encouraging to see some public sector websites outperforming the private sector, federal government agencies would be foolish to cut e-government budgets under the mistaken impression that less is more," said Claes Fornell, the founder of the American Customer Satisfaction Index, in the release. "When it comes to citizen satisfaction, a satisfied customer is almost always a more profitable one. Or in the case of government, a less expensive one."

We love our letterhead here in the processing sections of the Library of Virginia. One can come across such interesting, varied, and colorful examples while processing Governor's papers, personal letters, or court records. We've shared a few examples of our finds in previous blog postings and have happily learned that you love them, too! As a result, we continue to save examples for future Out of the Box installments. It was with that thought that I made a Xerox of the following letterhead, assuming that I'd add it to our growing file to share at a later date. I showed it to a colleague, and she said, "Google those lines and see what you find." Sure enough, there was more to this letterhead than met the eye.
The image and line refer to a song written during the 1844 presidential campaign for Whig Party nominee Henry Clay. The illustration shows a raccoon holding a document (or stick) labeled "Constitution," and rolling a large ball after a scurrying fox. Considered to be the first modern national campaign, the 1844 contest pitted the Whig, Clay, against Democrat James K. Polk. This being Clay's third presidential race, the Democrats pejoratively dubbed him "the same old coon" in reference to his perennial candidacy. In response, the Whigs decided to embrace the moniker, even using the raccoon image on … read more »

Far Too Little Economic Analysis in Rulemaking:
Federal regulatory agencies rarely conduct complete and thorough economic analyses of the things they set out to regulate, the rules they write, and the actual effects their rules have once implemented. Only about a quarter of "major" rules, principally those with an impact of $100 million in a given year, and less than half a percent of the more than 3,500 rules in total that federal agencies issue each year are analyzed for their costs and benefits. Moreover, it is common for agencies to perform an analysis only after they have decided what the rules should be and then to understate their costs and overstate their benefits. Once in effect, agencies generally do not analyze the actual economic effects of their rules in the real world.
Federal Officials Claim to Know Best:
Federal regulation is based heavily on the presumption that regulators know when and how to intervene in a market and that the rules they promulgate are in the "public interest." But while markets may not perform perfectly, neither does the government. In reality, federal officials face basic problems in prescribing outcomes that are better overall than develop in the marketplace:
Sytemic Problems of Government Regulation
- Principal-agent problem: Divergent interests between voters (principals) and officials (agents) lead to policies that may not reflect public preferences.
- Asymmetric information: Federal agencies, the political parties, and special interest groups interact to make policy based on information that may not be available and considerations that may not be transparent to the public.
- Incomplete information: A central authority cannot fully capture, process, or replicate the new information that markets continually generate.
- Rent-seeking: Special interest groups seek favorable regulation from government at the public's expense and waste resources in the process.
- Organizational problems: Bureaucratic inefficiency and inertia impose administrative costs and delay, and jurisdictional divisions cause overlap, frictions, or leave gaps in regulation.
- Monopoly power. When government officials supplant market outcomes with mandates, they limit choice, competition, adaptability, experimentation, technological development, and the standards for comparison of their performance.
Choosing Efficient Rules Requires Analysis:
Given the problems of the administrative state, the presumption is unwarranted that federal officials have superior knowledge, motivation, and skills to produce the best outcomes without as much as analyzing the costs and benefits of alternative approaches. Agencies have many different approaches to choose from, and even a partial list suggests it is impossible to know the best one for a given set of circumstances without comparative analysis:
- Improve existing rules rather than issue new ones;
- Better define property and market trading rights;
- Impose fees in place of mandates;
- Improve information dissemination;
- Set performance standards and let the regulated decide how to meet them;
- Prescribe product design and production methods;
- Prohibit production and/or consumption.
Regulatory agencies do not report to Congress as a matter of standard practice on the efficiency of their regulatory regimes or when statutory language may hinder adoption of the most efficient approach to achieve a statutory objective. They should be required not only to conduct comparative analyses and report their findings but also to make recommendations for saving costs to the congressional committees of jurisdiction so that Congress can consider accommodating changes in the law......

Arriving at the Emergency Center
If you are unsure about whether your child's injury or sudden illness needs emergency care, treat it as an emergency. Call 911 immediately.
|The All Children's Hospital Emergency Center Entrance.
(Get Directions)
A trip to the emergency center is almost always stressful. Knowing what to expect when you arrive here and being prepared can help reduce that stress - so we have prepared this guide to the All Children's Hospital Emergency Center.
First sign in at the triage desk. The purpose of triage is to quickly assess your child's needs and to begin planning for their care. It is important to give all the needed information to the triage nurse.
|Check-in desk in the Emergency Center
Children with life-threatening illnesses are seen first. During certain hours of the day, children with less serious problems may be sent to the QuickKid area of the Emergency Center.
During the busiest times, the sickest children are seen first. Other families are asked to wait.
Waiting Area
|The waiting room
|The waiting room at Quick Kid
|One of the treatment rooms
A staff member will escort you to your room as soon as a room is available. If you believe your child has gotten sicker while waiting, please let the triage staff know.
Emergency Center Exam Room
Once you are in a private room your child will be examined and evaluated by a team of doctors and nurses who will care for your child. There are senior doctors, called Attending physicians, who are board certified Pediatric Emergency Medicine physicians. Our QuickKid physicians are Board certified pediatricians. We also have pediatric residents, who are doctors training to be pediatricians.
You will also meet techs, EMTs, respiratory therapists, unit secretaries. All these people help with the care of your child. All have been specially trained to work with our pediatric patients.
Your child may need to have x-rays or blood tests. Please understand that you may have to wait for these results. During our busy times of the day, we may ask you to move to a waiting room to wait for your results. Our Attending physician may need to consult with another specialist regarding your child's care. We will call that specialist, but please know that it takes time for these specialists to come to the Emergency Center. Our staff will try to make you and your child as comfortable as possible during your wait.
Our registration clerk will come to the room with her COW (computer on wheels) and ask you for the information needed for your child's medical record. They will have you sign a consent form for your child's treatment.
|Registration and triage station
We will treat your child even if your insurer does not approve the visit or you do not have insurance. If this a problem, our financial counselors can help you.
If Your Child is Admitted to the Hospital
Your doctor may decide that your child needs to stay in the hospital. In this case, your child will stay in the Emergency Center until they are brought to a hospital room to be taken care of by a medical team or surgical team.
If Your Child is Discharged from the Hospital
When your Emergency Center visit is over, we will give you written instructions about your child's home treatment, medications, and follow-up care. If you have any questions after you leave, please call the Emergency Center at (727) 767-8400. We send a copy of the record of the visit to the primary care physician you told us about at registration. This record explains to the provider what was done for your child and what was recommended.
Clinical Decision Unit (CDU)
We have a Clinical Decision Unit in our Emergency Center. If it is important to observe or treat your child for more than a few hours in our Emergency Center, your child may be moved to our CDU. The EC Attending physicians will still be responsible for your care.

STUDENTS from around the globe are making Ambleside their home after enrolling on the University of Cumbria's first ever international course.
Outdoor enthusiasts from countries including China, Australia and Germany are among the 17 students spending the Autumn term in the Lake District as part of their masters in Transcultural European Outdoor Studies.
The qualification is the first of its kind and is being run by the university, Germany's University of Marburg and Norway's School of Sport Sciences.
Course leader Dr. Christopher Loynes said: "Within this time frame, our ambition is to make the course a coveted choice for people interested in pursuing a career in the outdoor field. We also aim to develop tight links with non-European universities and make the course truly global. Eventually, we plan to make the course financially self-sustaining through the charging of student fees."
The course will be funded by the European Commission for the next five years and once students have left Ambleside in the New Year they will spend their next two terms at the other institutions.
While some of the students area already experienced in outdoor studies, for many this is a new area of knowledge and expertise.
Katerina Pata from Greece, who previously studied to be a pre-school teacher, said:"I couldn't find a relevant masters course in Greece and applied for courses elsewhere in Europe. I liked this course because I get a chance to go to three different countries and learn various approaches to the subject. My goal is to make the concept of outdoor learning more prominent in my country and create my own outdoor kindergarten."
However, others come to the course with a lot of experience like Wilson Wai Yin Cheung who is a former president of the mountaineering association of Hong Kong.
The students, who come from 15 countries, will be living in university accommodation in Ambleside and learning the theoretical knowledge and practical qualifications necessary to be successful outdoor industry professionals.
During their first semester they will undertake two week-long hiking expeditions, one in the Scottish Highlands and one in the Lake District and a week-long canoeing trip.
SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email email@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.
Next generation of reactors will be built at Sellafield and Heysham, the Government announced today as it pushes ahead with plans for new nuclear power plants.
In the first major announcement on the future of nuclear in the UK since the Fukushima disaster in Japan, the Government outlined the locations deemed suitable for new power stations by 2025, all of which are adjacent to existing nuclear sites.
The eight sites are: Bradwell, Essex; Hartlepool; Heysham, Lancashire; Hinkley Point, Somerset; Oldbury, South Gloucestershire; Sellafield, Cumbria; Sizewell, Suffolk; and Wylfa, Anglesey.
The plans for new nuclear power plants are part of a series of national policy statements on energy which were published today, following a public consultation.
They will be debated and voted on in Parliament, but ministers are hopeful that, with a pro-nuclear majority in the Commons, they will win the argument.
Nuclear power is one of the issues that divided Conservatives and Liberal Democrats when they entered Government together, with the coalition deal allowing a Lib Dem spokesman to speak out against any new nuclear plants, while Lib Dem MPs could abstain on the issue.
Lib Dem Energy Secretary Chris Huhne has since given his backing to new reactors, insisting they would not be subsidised by the taxpayer - although MPs have warned that reform of the electricity market could favour nuclear power and amount to a hidden subsidy.
The Government is planning the new suite of reactors to maintain electricity supplies and cut greenhouse gas emissions as an old generation of power stations is shut down.
The future of nuclear as a power source for countries around the world was called into question earlier this year after the Japanese earthquake and tsunami rocked the reactors at Fukushima, leaving radioactivity leaking from the plant.
Mr Huhne signalled last month that plans for new reactors in the UK were on track after an initial report on Fukushima from nuclear chief inspector Mike Weightman ruled out the need to curtail the operation of nuclear power stations in the UK in light of the situation in Japan.
The energy policy statements aim to provide a framework for making planning decisions so projects do not face "unnecessary hold-ups".
They set out the need for billions of pounds of investment in new energy sources, including 33 gigawatts of renewable power - the equivalent of thousands of offshore wind turbines - to meet the UK's future needs.
Energy minister Charles Hendry said: "Around a quarter of the UK's generating capacity is due to close by the end of this decade. We need to replace this with secure, low carbon, affordable energy.
"This will require over £100 billion worth of investment in electricity generation alone.
"This means twice as much investment in energy infrastructure in this decade as was achieved in the last decade.
"Industry needs as much certainty as possible to make such big investments.
"These plans set out our energy need to help guide the planning process, so that if acceptable proposals come forward in appropriate places, they will not face unnecessary hold-ups."
He said the coalition Government was determined to make the UK attractive to investors to ensure that the country had secure, affordable, low-carbon energy.
THE Bassenthwaite Ospreys have moved home to live in marshes nearer to Bassenthwaite Lake.
After successfully nesting at their treetop summer home at Dodd Wood since 2008, the pair decided it was time for a change and have been gradually building a new nest since returning from their wintering grounds in West Africa.
Fortunately, the new site is visible from the Dodd Wood viewpoint so visitors can still enjoy watching the birds of prey this season.
Ospreys are normally faithful to successful nest sites, so the move was a bit of a shock for staff at the Lake District Osprey Project (LDOP). This is only the second time staff have seen the ospreys change nest in the project's 11-year history.
Nathan Fox of the RSPB's Lake District Osprey Project, said: 'It has been an interesting and exciting start to the season, with the birds deciding to move. We have been working closely with local landowners and farmers to make sure that the birds are fully protected and therefore have a good chance of raising their chicks."

Radiation Therapy utilizes ionizing radiation in a strictly controlled environment to treat disease, primarily cancer. High-energy x-ray, gamma, proton and electron beams are common forms of ionizing radiation used. Ionizing radiation can be administered using external beam therapy or by placing a radioactive material directly into a body tissue or cavity. The ultimate goal of radiation therapy is to destroy all abnormal cells while sparing the surrounding normal tissue.
Radiation therapists are part of a multi-disciplinary cancer management team. They are responsible for accurately positioning the patient for treatment, equipment operation, quality assurance, and calculating radiation dose to be delivered. Radiation therapists also have considerable responsibility for providing competent, concerned patient care. The therapist monitors patients throughout treatment, which often lasts several weeks
This program curriculum includes patient care, pathology and treatment principles, radiation physics, radiation biology and safety, and ethics. Clinical practice and supplemental instruction are provided at the affiliated clinical sites. Upon successful completion of this program, graduates are eligible to take the national registry examination given by the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT).
The Radiation Therapy program is a selective admission program. When you apply to the College, you will be accepted into Healthcare Support with a concentration in Radiation Therapy while you complete the prerequisite requirements. The Radiation Therapy program accepts a limited number of students each year and there is a separate application process. Contact your campus of interest below for more details.
Why choose the Radiation Therapy program?
Radiation Therapy offers students interested in a health career the possibility to work in a compassionate environment while providing direct patient care using state-of-the-art treatment techniques and equipment.
