Safety Innovation for your Child
One of the most effective innovations in automotive safety is the crumple zone, the area of the vehicle that is designed to deform and crumple in a collision. The crumple zone absorbs energy in an impact, preventing it from being transmitted to the occupants.
Much like the crumple zones that protect us in the cars we drive, the crumple zone system integrated into every Foonf child seat protects your child.
How It Works
In a collision, the vehicle comes to an abrupt stop, but the child continues to move at the same speed. The less time that it takes for the child to come to a complete stop, the higher the forces exerted on the child. The REACT Safety System allows that sudden change in momentum to happen over a longer period of time through a series of controlled events. Foonf is designed to ride down the collision crumpling the aluminum honeycomb and absorbing energy from the collision resulting in less force transferred to the child.
Structural Headrest with Deep Side Wings
Energy-absorbing foam-lined headrest connected to frame using steel rods provides maximum head protection in a side-impact collision.
Energy-Absorbing Foam Layers
Foam layers on both the inside and outside of the frame protect your child by absorbing energy in a side-impact collision, resulting in less force directly upon your child.
Anti-Rebound Bar
In rear-facing mode, Foonf's anti-rebound bar improves stability by limiting rotation of the child seat, helping protect your child's head from impact in the case of a collision
Rigid Sub-Structure
Foonf is reinforced by a steel and magnesium sub-structure.
AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) advises parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.
Designed for Comfort and Convenience + Styled to Match Child's Individuality
Rigid-LATCH Forward-Facing Installation
Over 80% of child seats in North America are not used properly. Hands down the easiest forward-facing installation in its class, Foonf's Rigid-LATCH system makes proper forward-facing installation effortless.
Improved Rear-Facing Installation in Smaller Vehicles
Unique design improves rear-facing installation in smaller vehicles by taking up less fore-aft space.
ExtraPadded Seat Cushion
Additional layers of thick foam padding make for comfortable rides and protects against numb-bum syndrome!
Smooth Recline
Foonf includes an easy-to-engage, smooth recline function, making each ride more comfortable.
Crypton Super Fabrics
Permanent protection against stains, moisture and bacteria. The only thing this fabric doesn't resist is easy cleaning
Approved for use in Aircraft
Child Height, Weight and Age
*AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) advises parents to keep their toddlers in rear-facing car seats until age 2, or until they reach the maximum height and weight for their seat.

Chetwynde School in Barrow to close
Last updated at 08:30, Friday, 30 March 2012
CHETWYNDE School is to close in July.
The independent day school's board of governors made the announcement to staff yesterday (28/3) at a meeting at the school in Rating Lane, Barrow. Letters have also been sent to all parents.
The closure will affect 287 pupils and 78 full and part-time members of staff.
Governors said a steady decline in pupil numbers since 2004, coupled with the current economic climate, meant the school will not be financially viable after the summer term.
Chetwynde was founded in 1938 and teaches pupils aged three to 18. The school celebrated a record-breaking year in 2011, topping Cumbria's school and college league table with 100 per cent of its previous Year 11 group achieving at least five A* to C GCSEs or equivalent, including English and maths, and an overall 100 per cent pass rate at A-Level, with its average point score per exam entry being the highest in the county.
Chairman of the governing body, Dr Gerry Murray, said: "The governing body is very sad to announce that the school will close at the end of this academic year. The present financial climate has led to a reduction in numbers, and the school is no longer financially viable.
"Chetwynde has provided an excellent academic education for a huge number of young people in the area since 1938. The governors are acutely aware of the impact that the closure will have upon present staff, pupils and parents. However, this most difficult decision has been forced upon us.
"The loss of such a fine school will of course have far reaching effects in this area, and it is with heavy hearts that the governors have reached this very difficult decision."
Headmaster Russell Collier, who joined the school in 2010, said in a statement issued today: "It fills me with immense sadness that Chetwynde will close and I am desperately disappointed that such a successful school, that has achieved so much, is no longer financially viable.
"Whether people agree or not with private education in principle is not the issue. What concerns me is that this area of Cumbria deserves and needs a school like Chetwynde, and its closure will undoubtedly have a negative impact on the community and the local economy.
"My focus is firmly on the staff, pupils and parents, to ensure that we can make their transition away from the school as smooth and painless as possible.
"It will be difficult, but we have a duty to the pupils in our care to ensure that we continue to educate them whilst they remain at Chetwynde."
A meeting between governors and parents is scheduled to be held at the school on April 18.

Have your say
I went to chetwynde many years ago - my parents struggled to afford the fees- however my education there has Contributed to my success in life and I thank my parents for the sacrifices we made as a family to better my education
at the end of the day my kids don't go to private school but we did pay and save more for a house in Barrow in a good school catchment area, is this not a similar thing????

Moderators: Tonyblack, Jason, Toothy
anna wrote:Even though there has been a lot of research on religion in, for example, Tolkiens LoTR, there are virtually no reflections on religion in DW. For those of you who are interested: Dr Graham Harvey (the Open University) has written two articles on paganism in the Discworld, in which he argues that Pratchett in his books creates and enhances the pagan world and encourages his readers to "re-enchant the world".
Terry's writing may not overtly be about religion (aside from making fun of priests and gods for the hell of it)
As Gods of the Discworld go,i'm partial to Offler for his pragmatic approach to Godhood and Om for his selfdeprecation in Small Gods and later according to Vimes the fact that he "imposed very few abominations and no special clothing, and was rather loose on prayers"(although beware of the Quisition,they might appear unexpectedly! ).
Also gotta love the Djelibeybi's gods,particularly the fact they have a Supreme God,although not just the single one,but multiple contenders.
anna wrote:....I don't understand your first point that paganism was/still is a 'way of life' religion/philosophy. Do you mean that because of that, it cannot be created or enhanced by fantasy literature? I do agree with Harvey on that point, because the Discworld has quite a lot of elements in common with paganism, for example magic, witches and wizards, the fact that DW is inhabited by multiple races and the use of Faerie. Also, I believe that Pratchett encourages people to see the world as something that's enchanted and alive. I've only read one book that features the Witches (I am definately not as much of an expert as you all are, please correct me if I'm wrong), Wyrd Sisters, and I did get the idea that Pratchett encourages us to see our environment as something that is alive, and not just as objects. Harvey sees in this a hint of animism and an incentive to "listen" to the world around us. What do you think? Can pagans use (fantasy)literature as a source for constructing their own religion, also in a practical sense?
anna wrote:JVQ wrote:Terry's writing may not overtly be about religion (aside from making fun of priests and gods for the hell of it)
I wonder, in his interviews he defines himself as a humanist and says he sees mankind as something divine, not God ("in my religion, the building of a telescope is the building of a cathedral"). People shouldn't believe in some creator, they are the Creator. This is quite a statement and I wonder: do you recognize this in his books?
which perhaps says a lot about his world view that he's more or less confirmed has humanist leanings, but he also says that his morals are loosely formed around the mainstream social view of the Church of England upbringing that he had, on the basis that being nice to each other and not doing harm is the way to go. Also that you treat people as persons and not objects or things, which is very much a central theme in the Witch books where very little actual magic is done, but there is a lot of herbology and medicine and wise-woman activity that all works with Granny Weatherwax's main attribute of headology.I'd rather be a rising ape than a falling angel

Combined with all other multimedia functions, in-dash navigation enables a more comfortable driving experience.

What Is Criminology and Criminal Justice?
Criminology as an academic discipline involves the study of criminal behavior and the institutions and systems established to deal with criminal offenders.
Because of the complexity of human behavior criminology examines the causes and correlates of offending from a multidisciplinary perspective, including but not limited to biology, economics, psychology, public health, sociology and social work. Criminology and criminologist provide the organizing frame for those interested in crime, criminal offenders and criminal justice institutions.
The student who is interested in studying criminology and criminal justice will have an interest in crime as a phenomenon. He or she may want to understand the causes of crime, correlates, patterns and trends. Criminal justice students are often interested in becoming law enforcement officers, profilers, lawyers, federal agents in a variety of agencies or correctional workers, probation and parole. There are a variety of employment opportunities in public and private organizations that work with offenders, victims, or youth and families in risk.
The student who wishes to attend Saint Louis University to study criminology and criminal justice is also likely to have an interest in serving people and communities as a core part of their spiritual identity. Toward that end the criminology program offers the unique dimension of human justice. Human justice represents a basic recognition of the essential humanity of all people whether they are offender, victim or employee within a justice agency. The agencies that deal with criminal events are, after all, human services agencies.

Canepa: Chargers douse the flame with bad breath
DENVER Think of stink in its solid form. How high can you pile it? As it turns out, at least a mile.
"This is a tough place to play," Chargers coach Norv Turner was saying after his football team's latest sewage spill, this one being Sunday's 30-23 defeat at 5,280 feet to the Broncos, which in effect ended a season for San Diego that really ended weeks ago.
He's right about that. It's the toughest venue for visitors to win in American sports.
Do you think mass firings in the Chargers camp are imminent?
Yes 84% (854)
No 16% (160)
1014 total votes.
Chargers vs. Broncos
- Krasovic: Will Gruden help A.J. Smith keep his job?
- Acee: Chargers an offensive mess put together by A.J. Smith
- Chargers know AFC West title lost after falling to Denver
- Canepa Report Card: Rivers barely passes, Turner fails
- Broncos beat Chargers, quarter by quarter
- Canepa: Chargers douse the flame with bad breath
- Defense does what it can for anemic Bolts
- Second blocked punt in as many weeks stings Chargers
But there appears to be no place on earth that would be an easy place for the Chargers to play a good game of football, be it a mile high in Colorado, a mile low in the Grand Canyon, sea level in Aruba, or fanciful Bali Hai or imaginary Farmer's Field in Los Angeles. Wouldn't matter.
The Chargers have fallen four games behind Denver in the AFC West, and at 4-6, any chance for a wild card would demand a call for help from a higher authority who probably has grown tired of trying to come to their aide anyway. They've plum run out of confessions, novenas and penance. Their candles have been snuffed.
And this, don't forget, was preached all week as one of those "must wins," because a victory would have left the local lads just a game behind the Broncos in their division. It obviously became "Must not have gotten through to them" weeks.
There's no saving this team from itself, because it simply isn't good enough to beat anyone decent. The Chargers even caught the Broncos when they weren't at their best offensively. Peyton Manning missed throws he normally could make under anesthesia that would have put this dog to sleep by halftime.
The Chargers did so many things wrong offensively in the first half it's mortifying to think it wasn't long ago that this was one of the premier machines in the NFL. It's so far removed from that, Dr. Hubble couldn't find it with his invention.
This has become an awful offense, with no rhythm and thus little flow. More often than not Rivers looks like a guy who can't get off the train tracks in time.
After this mess, Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers said: "It's the best defensive team they've had since we've been playing against them." That's not hard to imagine.
The Broncos are not that big defensively, but extremely quick, especially on the outside, where linebackers Von Miller (three sacks) and Elvis Dumervil (sack and forced Rivers fumble) just ran around and through a San Diego offensive line that once again lost players _ at one time guards Luis Vasquez and Tyronne Green were down (starting left tackle Jared Gaither once again rested).
As a result, the Chargers could do nothing early on. At halftime they had 54 total yards and two first downs. Rivers was 9 of 17 for 60 yards and had thrown one horrible interception. The Chargers only score came on a Manning pass batted by corner Marcus Gilchrist to safety Eric Weddle, who returned it for the first score of the game.

Ten fashionable gifts under $100
We wrapped up $20 gifts under $200 and are on to the $50-$100 price range. The first thing we looked for? A fab coat for gifting to your favorite girl. We like this Gap plaid belted coat, on sale for $94.99, because the plaid can be a little holiday, a little preppy or a little indie depending on the giftee's style. It's a little something different for the girl who usually sticks to pea coats.

Elie Wiesel's Biography
IMAGE: Elie Wiesel
Nobel Peace Prize winner and Boston University Professor Elie Wiesel has worked on behalf of oppressed people for much of his adult life. His personal experience of the Holocaust has led him to use his talents as an author, teacher and storyteller to defend human rights and peace throughout the world.
Wiesel's work has earned him the United States Congressional Gold Medal (1985); the Medal of Liberty Award (1986); the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1992); the rank of Grand-Croix in the French Legion of Honor (2001); an honorary Knighthood of the British Empire awarded by Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II (2006) and the 2009 National Humanities Medal. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1986. He is the recipient of more than one hundred and thirty honorary degrees from institutions of higher learning in the United States, Europe and Israel. In 1978, President Jimmy Carter appointed him chairman of the President's Commission on the Holocaust. In 1980, he became founding chairman of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, which created the US Holocaust Memorial Museum.
Wiesel's more than fifty books have won numerous awards, including the Prix Médicis for A Beggar in Jerusalem, the Prix Livre Inter for The Testament and the Grand Prize for Literature from the City of Paris for The Fifth Son. His latest book is Hostage (August 2012) published by Knopf.
Wiesel was born in Sighet, Romania, (Hungary 1940-45). He was fifteen when he and his family were deported to Auschwitz. His mother and younger sister perished there. He and his father were later transported to Buchenwald, where his father died shortly before the camp was liberated in 1945.
After the war, Wiesel studied in Paris and eventually became a journalist in that city, yet he remained silent about his time in the death camps. During an interview with the French writer François Mauriac, he was persuaded to end that silence and wrote his memoir Night. Since its publication in 1956 in Yiddish and in 1958 in French, Night has been translated into over thirty languages and millions of copies have been sold. In 2006, Farrar, Straus and Giroux published a new English- language edition of Night featuring a new translation by Marion Wiesel; Oprah Winfrey chose the book for her Book Club.
An ardent supporter of Israel, Wiesel was also among the first to defend the causes of Soviet Jews, Nicaragua's Miskito Indians, Argentina's "Disappeared," Cambodia's refugees, the Kurds, South African apartheid victims, famine victims in Africa, the prisoners in the former Yugoslavia and most recently the victims of genocide in Darfur. Soon after he received the Nobel Peace Prize, Wiesel and his wife Marion established The Elie Wiesel Foundation for Humanity. Its mission, rooted in the memory of the Holocaust, is to combat indifference, intolerance and injustice through international dialogue and youth-focused programs that promote acceptance, understanding and equality. The Foundation runs multiple programs both domestically and internationally.
In the U.S., the Foundation organizes The Elie Wiesel Prize in Ethics Essay Contest. It also bestows The Elie Wiesel Humanitarian Award to a deserving individual. In the U.S. and abroad, the Foundation organizes international conferences for youth in conflict-ridden countries and sponsors its Nobel Initiative Conferences. These conferences, which focus on themes of Peace, Education, Health, the Environment and Terrorism, serve as a way to bring together Nobel Laureates and world leaders to discuss social problems and develop suggestions for change. For four years beginning in 2005, the Foundation co-hosted the Petra Conferences with His Majesty King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1992, the Foundation began working with Ethiopian immigrants in Israel. It opened the Beit Tzipora Centers for Study & Enrichment, which give Ethiopian Jewish children the opportunity to overcome early educational inequality and participate fully in Israeli society. Named in memory of Wiesel's younger sister, who died in Auschwitz, the Foundation currently has two centers, one in Ashkelon and one in Kiryat Malachi, which enroll close to 1,000 youth. The goal of these programs is to provide Ethiopian immigrants with desperately needed academic tutoring, pre-vocational training and social and emotional support.
Using the Beit Tzipora Centers as a model, the Foundation started an after-school program in the fall of 2007 for refugees from the genocide in Darfur who have been given safe haven in Israel. The program, operated through the Bialik-Rogozin School in Tel-Aviv, provides after-school English and Hebrew training, computer courses, tutoring, arts and crafts and counseling to the children. Language classes and other courses, as well as counseling, are also offered to their parents.
Wiesel has served as distinguished professor of Judaic Studies at the City University of New York (1972-1976), and the Henry Luce Visiting Scholar in the Humanities and Social Thought at Yale University (1982-1983). Since 1976, he has been the Andrew W. Mellon Professor in the Humanities at Boston University, where he also holds the title of University Professor and is a faculty member in the departments of religion and philosophy. In 2002, Boston University created The Elie Wiesel Center of Jewish Studies in his honor.
Wiesel has been an American citizen since 1963.

I have no prob with this no differen't then a bar IMO. In my gym when I trained years ago you couldn't even do jiu jitsu till you were 15. Tho I do allow my 12yr daughter to watch MMA with me when it's on t.v.
The legislators are a bunch of pussies in Boston and New York.
They're still allowed to go, they just have to be with an adult. That seems completely reasonable to me.
Yeah, it is Ok.
They can go as long as they are with an adult.
Nothing wrong
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Yeah, under 16 you probably shouldn't be there without an adult anyways. I'm ok with this.

If it weren't for the Michelin Pilots and leather interior, Mike Lowry's '02 Z06, with its C5-R styling cues, could easily be mistaken for a GTS competitor in the paddock. Then again, a set of slicks and a five-point harness would fix that. To the enthusiastic, 50-year-old Texas owner, that's the point. "I wanted a car that would be 'out there;' something that would be the ultimate streetcar for a few years to come," Lowry says.
A quick check of the patriotically-painted Vette's specs certainly points to a high-water mark in street-legal performance: A 641hp, 7.0L Gen. III engine, T1 road racing suspension, 15-inch brakes with six-piston rotors up front, custom center-lock hubs, 18- and 19-inch wheels, and Specter Werkes/Sports GTR-inspired bodywork. And those are just the basics.
"Yes, the project got a little out of hand," admits Lowry, who went more than 14 months without setting eyes on his Vette during its construction. "I drove the car for about two months and put 329 miles on it before deciding to do something extreme to it. That was the last I saw of it for more than a year." The virgin Z06 left Texas for Arizona, where Extreme Motorsports performed the T1 suspension upgrades, including the road race-spec stabilizer bars and bushings. They also were scheduled to drop in a custom, 585-horse Katech-built engine, but Lowry's conversations with the engine builders put a halt to the new motor just as it was being lowered into the empty engine bay. "I got to talking with the folks at Katech and we decided to go with something wilder," he says.
That "something wilder" was a C5-R aluminum block with 4.125-inch bores, combined with a Moldex forged steel, 4.000-inch crank, resulting in 427 cubic-inches. The C5-R block is a different casting than production-style LS1 blocks. Revised coolant passages and a modular cylinder bank design permits overboring options unavailable to the standard LS1-type Gen. III block. Lowry's engine also boasts 6.000-inch. Carillo rods pinned to custom forged pistons. Katech, a company with integral ties to Corvette's racing program, was reluctant to divulge all the details of Lowry's unique combination, but we were able to pry out of them that the pistons deliver a 12.21:1 compression ratio. They also told us the cam is a solid roller, but were mum about its lobe profiles. Heck, they wouldn't even divulge the diameter of the throttle body.
There are lots of other custom parts attached to the engine, including the headers, fabricated sheetmetal intake manifold, and custom C5-R-logo valve covers (requiring the relocation of the ignition coil packs). Under those snazzy valve covers is a set of artfully sculpted C5-R cylinder heads, the inner contours of which are-you guessed it-as secret as Bill Gates' ATM card PIN. We know this: They've been ported, have 2.180/1.625 valves, and were expensive. Really expensive. Really, really expensive. We know how much they cost, but were asked not to publish it. Here's a hint: Lowry spent more on the heads than some people spend on, say, a brand-new car. In the understatement of the year, Lowry admits, "Katech did a lot of work to them."
And though it wasn't cheap, Katech's work paid off. On the dyno, the engine peaked at 641hp and 590 lb-ft of torque. "I can't say enough about how great Katech was in putting together this engine," says Lowry.
During the course of discussions about the engine, Lowry was also turned on to nearby Specter Werkes/Sports, the Troy, Michigan-based specialty shop, run by Jeff Nowicki, which turns out the race-inspired GT-R Corvette. Convenient in that Specter was near Katech in the Detroit area, Lowry talked with Nowicki and discovered Specter would be the appropriate enabler of his race car craving. "I always loved the '00 C5-R that was displayed at SEMA, but never raced," he says. "To me, that was one of the best-looking cars I ever saw. Jeff, being a racer, knew all about that car." With that, the Vette left Arizona and landed at Nowicki's doorstep in Michigan. Once inside the Specter Werkes/Sports shop, the car was shaved of all its original bodywork, save the roof and decklid. Specter's GT-R body panels, which add 6 inches in overall width to the car, replaced the stock fenders, fascias and doors.

Ornelas received treatment and began to evaluate her lifestyle and eating habits. She made a decision to educate herself about eating better and preparing wholesome, natural foods. She was recruited to work at a local resort and continued her exploration of natural foods. She left the resort to work as a private chef for President and Mrs. Gerald Ford, which she did for eight years. And then she opened her restaurant.
Luscious Lorraine's, Ornelas' organic juice and food bar, is 10 years old, and considering the small amount of space it occupies inside Harvest Health Foods, it packs a varied and nutritional punch for the legion of devotees who eat there every day.
Sourcing organic food for her restaurant was a challenge until Ornelas worked with local farmers to grow the foods she needed. Supporting sustainable agriculture is one of Ornelas' passions, and she purchases 75 percent of her fresh produce at the Valley's Certified Farmers' Markets, where she frequently gives food demonstrations. She also grows kale, peppers, tomatoes, spinach and more on her own urban farm, Farmers' Daughters, to supplement her restaurant.
"Changing one's diet is a progression," says Ornelas. "I didn't change everything all at once, but I've made changes, step by step, over the last 20 years. One of my goals is to educate people, especially kids, about nutrition and food. What we eat is a choice and it's so important to know the ways in which our food choices affect our health." To that end, Ornelas will soon graduate with a degree in holistic nutrition.
While Ornelas has remained cancer free, she has battled other health challenges. One of her health practitioners is Eisenhower Gynecologist and Primary Care physician Lisa Lindley, MD. "I love Dr. Lindley. She's brilliant and compassionate, and someone you can trust and be at ease with your care," says Ornelas. "She always has the patient's best interest at heart, offers ongoing education for women and is such a loving and caring person. She's an excellent physician."
Luscious Lorraine's offers a variety of choices: raw, vegan and vegetarian foods and organic meats. Menu items include all organic vegetable and fruit juices and smoothies, organic salads, wraps, sandwiches, homemade soups and desserts.
Luscious Lorraine's Creamy Cauliflower & Spinach Soup with Basil Nut Pesto serves 4 - 6
Basil Nut Pesto organic ingredients
Pesto RecipePuree all ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth. Add salt to taste.
Soup organic ingredients
Soup Recipe Heat olive oil in a soup pot over medium-high heat. Add garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes and sauté for 2 or 3 minutes, until translucent. Stir in cauliflower and the potato (optional) and cook for another 2 minutes. Add stock, bring to a simmer, and cook until vegetables are tender. Remove from the heat and puree thoroughly with a handheld immersion blender. (If you must use a conventional blender, be cautious; the hot liquid can create combustion.) Try leaving the lid slightly ajar to allow steam to escape. Cover with a kitchen towel and blend in small batches on low speed. Season with pink salt and lemon to taste. Stir in spinach and basil. Ladle into individual bowls and top with a generous swirl of the pesto.
Cauliflower traces its ancestry to wild cabbage and is an excellent source of Vitamin C, Vitamin K and Omega-3 fatty acids. It is also a good source of manganese and antioxidants. Cauliflower has nearly 12 grams of fiber in every 100 calories.
When purchasing cauliflower, look for clean, creamy white compact heads, with tight bud clusters, surrounded by healthy thick leaves. Avoid heads that are dull colored or spotted. Choose a size that fits your needs. Store stem side down to avoid moisture buildup in the refrigerator.

One of the many nonproliferation challenges is the development of new safeguards technologies that can detect and deter illicit efforts to produce fissile material by countries that have committed to forgo nuclear weapons. Meeting this technology challenge is a key mission for NNSA which cooperates with its international partners to develop and implement safeguards technologies to support the International Atomic Energy Agency as it monitors countries' compliance with their international safeguards agreements. One of the more difficult safeguards challenges is Gas Centrifuge Enrichment Plants (GCEPs), which can produce both HEU for weapons and LEU for civilian nuclear energy and other peaceful uses.
Conventional safeguards at GCEP facilities rely heavily on a combination of non-destructive and destructive analytical techniques. Non-destructive techniques can evaluate without damaging the material assessed, but the results are not always conclusive. A destructive analysis technique exists for GCEPs that is very accurate, but also less timely and cost effective.
Norm Anheier, a scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), is developing a unique destructive analytical capability—funded by NNSA's Office of Nonproliferation and International Security and the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative—to provide timely detection of undeclared HEU production. In addition to its scientific novelty, this technique—called Laser Ablation Absorbance Ratio Spectroscopy Environmental Sampling (LAARS-ES)—has many practical advantages. Most notably, sample collection and analysis can be performed much more quickly and inexpensively than the conventional techniques mentioned above. The figure below lays out the measurement process.
The technique has already been successfully demonstrated at PNNL. The laboratory has started to seek engagement opportunities to conduct technology demonstrations at domestic and international GCEPs. This innovative technology is one of many funded by the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative that is applying research funding to advance U.S. and global nonproliferation efforts.
For most students, summer school was something you endured while wishing you were at the local swimming pool or air-conditioned movie theater. But not for a group of graduate students who recently signed up for a first-of-its-kind radiation detection course.
Twelve graduate students in science and engineering from across the country participated in the first Radiation Detection for Nuclear Security Summer School, co-sponsored by NNSA and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. (Watch TV clip.)
At PNNL and other facilities in Richland, Washington, students received hands-on training in detecting nuclear materials across a range of nuclear security missions. The students also learned first-hand about challenges that technical and policy experts face in the field. The students now can apply what they learned in their own research, better preparing them for nuclear security careers.
Representatives from more than 75 companies converged on Amarillo, Texas, from across the country this week to attend the first Pantex Supplier Conference.
The conference, arranged by the Pantex Supply Chain Management Division, gave suppliers a chance to interact with Pantex senior management, federal officials and supply chain personnel to increase efficiencies and deliver a better product.
The keynote speech was delivered by Daniel Saiz, NNSA manager of M&O contractors, who discussed procurement opportunities within the nuclear weapons enterprise.
Remarks by Pantex leadership focused on ways that representatives could become preferred suppliers while delivering on the safety, security and quality standards that are a hallmark of business at Pantex.
Plans call for making the conference a yearly occurrence.

A multi-federal agency effort is now underway to build a permanent Interagency Fire Center in the heart of northern New Mexico's fire country as the one-year anniversary of New Mexico's second largest wildfire on record approaches.
Building upon the success of last year's multi-agency coordination during the Las Conchas fire, NNSA, Bandelier National Monument and Santa Fe National Forest have again partnered to enhance northern New Mexico fire protection efforts by building a 6,400 square foot facility to serve as a joint coordination and response center for fire events. The new building will cost more than $3 million, and will significantly enhance the current fire-fighting capacities of all the agencies.
Kevin Smith, site office manager for the NNSA's Los Alamos Site Office said having a permanent facility dedicated to fighting wildland fires is a huge asset for the entire region, where response time matters.
The site where the new building is planned currently houses the Interagency Fire Center (TA 49) at LANL. The facility near Bandelier National Monument accommodates up to three helicopters and other equipment used for firefighting activities.
The new single-story multipurpose facility will include space for offices, training and conference rooms, and for storage of fire protection/suppression equipment. The new facility is designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environment Design (LEED) criteria. The LEED design standard reduces energy and water needs, which are important resource considerations for northern New Mexico.
Los Alamos National Laboratory yesterday celebrated the 1000th shipment of transuranic waste from the Laboratory to a permanent repository at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant near Carlsbad, N.M.
Since October 2011 (the beginning of the current federal fiscal year), LANL has sent 147 shipments to WIPP. LANL began shipping transuranic waste to WIPP in 1999, and reached the 1000th shipment milestone on June 6, 2012. LANL has sent record breaking numbers of shipments to WIPP each of the past three years and is on track to further surpass its record in 2012.
Although the TRU waste is stored safely, a decision was made by the Department of Energy, the New Mexico Environment Department and the Laboratory to accelerate the disposal of the 3,706 cubic meters of TRU waste stored above ground at Area G. The new deadline for disposal of this waste is June 30, 2014.
TRU waste consists of clothing, tools, rags, debris, soil and other items contaminated with radioactive material, mostly plutonium. Transuranic elements such as plutonium have an atomic number greater than uranium, so they are labeled transuranic, for "beyond uranium" on the periodic table of elements.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has now de-inventoried 97 percent of special nuclear material requiring the highest level of security protection.
The removal is part of NNSA's efforts to consolidate Category I and II special nuclear material, requiring the highest level of security by Oct. 1, 2012. This initiative will further improve security and reduce costs as part of NNSA's overall effort to transform the Cold War era nuclear weapons complex into a 21st century nuclear security enterprise.
All shipments have been completed in full compliance with safety and environmental laws and procedures. All federal and receiver site requirements were met for these shipments. The de-inventory project was initiated in October 2006.
NNSA had originally planned to remove high-security material from Livermore by 2014. However, NNSA developed an accelerated timeline to remove the material safely by Oct.1, 2012.
NNSA's Global Threat Reduction Initiative (GTRI) was recently commended by the Low-Level Radioactive Waste Forum (LLW Forum) for its efforts to find solutions to the issue of disused and unwanted radioactive sealed sources. Specifically, Abby Cuthbertson of GTRI was recognized for the work she has done, along with the Utah Division of Radiation Control and EnergySolutions, to develop a pathway for secure disposition of certain Class A sealed sources at the Clive low-level radioactive waste disposal facility in Tooele County, Utah.
At the spring meeting of the LLW Forum, a resolution was passed that acknowledged the benefits of sealed sources to society as a whole, the significant national security threat posed by disused sources, and the importance of developing disposal options as a permanent solution to the associated threat. The resolution also expresses appreciation for the coordination and cooperation by GTRI, the State of Utah, and EnergySolutions towards meeting that challenge and contributing to our national security.

Sequoia, a supercomputer built for NNSA, has been named the fastest in the world by Top500. Operating at 16.32 petaflops (quadrillion floating point operations per second), Sequoia helps monitor the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile by simulating weapons performance in high detail. Simulating weapons performances permits NNSA to ensure the safety, reliability and effectiveness of our nuclear weapons without the use of nuclear explosive testing. The IBM BlueGene/Q system is housed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
The semi-annual Top500 is an industry standard list that was released June 18 at the International Supercomputing Conference (ISC12) in Hamburg, Germany. The last time a supercomputer from the United States placed number one on the list was November 2009.
Sandia recently upgraded the critical assembly (a small nuclear reactor) in Tech Area 5 to permit a new class of experiments as part of the development of a reactor experiments training course for NNSA. Hardware was designed and installed that allows experiments to safely approach critical conditions by varying the amount of water in the assembly. This provides the capability to simulate a critically accident caused by flooding, something that is at the heart of many safety analyses for the storage of nuclear material across the DOE enterprise.
