A nuclear power reactor operator is responsible for ensuring the safe generation of consumer-usable energy from a nuclear plant. The operator's job typically involves monitoring various systems and making adjustments as needed to keep them within optimal ranges, and they must also be able to perform routine operations to safely shut systems down for maintenance or refueling. They should also be fluent in the computer software used to handle each of these tasks.Read More...
The most important task of nuclear power reactor operators is the monitoring of the reactor itself. They observe all temperatures and energy output, and then use a computer terminal to make as-needed adjustments for cooling and maintain a safe, steady flow of electricity to the power grid. They also help ensure that all critical operations stay within safe and optimal ranges at all times; if readings outside these ranges are detected, the operators have particular steps and protocols to follow to reduce or cease operations and refer the situation to supervisors.
Nuclear power reactor operators also participate in maintenance work. For specified periods of time, reactors must be shut down, flushed, and restarted to ensure ongoing safe operation, and those in this position participate in the careful step-by-step shutdown of specific systems to ensure that routine operations are carried out in a safe manner for everyone involved.
Nuclear power is obviously not without risk, and a nuclear power reactor operator plays a key role in ensuring its safe use. Most reactor operators do not need a full university degree for lower levels of responsibility, but should have some technical training in machine operation and be able to pass certification to obtain the position. An engineering degree can be highly beneficial, as some federal requirements for senior operators and supervisors may include it. Reactor operators typically work in a computer monitoring station, and shift-work may take place during the day, evening, or even overnight.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
More years of relevant experience do not necessarily translate to higher paychecks. Those in the early stages of their career can expect to make around $66K; however, individuals with five to 10 years of experience bring in $79K on average — a distinctly larger sum. On average, Nuclear Power Reactor Operators make $83K following one to two decades on the job. Nuclear Power Reactor Operators who have acquired more than two decades of experience generally do see greater compensation; their average income is approximately $97K.

Hi all, I have been kicking around for a couple of years but haven't been able to play with DAZ much because of too many other projects. Finally I have a spare minute, so I began by deleting what content I'd installed so that I could install 4.6 with a clean slate and use DIM. Everything went better than expected, thanks to those of you in the forums who are in the know - big thank you to you all!
However, I have a problem with the Genesis Starter Essentials for example, on the right side when in "Actors, Wardrobe & Props" I have "Figures" selected and there are boxes with the DAZ logo and ! . (2): Genesis. Now I know from reading other posts that means I have two files. However, I can't find the extra file anywhere. I've spent hours looking. DIM says it installed to C:/Users/Public/Documents/My DAZ 3D Library and in the Content Directory Manager I have that folder under both DAZ Studio Formats and Poser Formats.
When I right click on these ! squares, I don't have a lot of options, but when choosing the "go to this files product view" they all seem to point at the Genesis Starter Essentials as the culprit. How do I fix this? Should I uninstall the Genesis Starter Essentials and try re-installing it?
Big thank you (hugs and kisses) to anyone who can help me solve this!
Help with DIM and Genesis Starter Essentials…

Editorial Staff • West End • 4 Jul 2002
Bryony Lavery's outstanding play is essentially a series of monologues spoken by Rhona's mother, Nancy (Anita Dobson), Ralph, the serial killer (Tom Georgeson) and Agnetha, the Icelandic-American criminal psychologist interviewing him for her research (Josie Lawrence). The isolation of the monologue is a fitting way for these three to tell their stories, for each is frozen by circumstance and state of mind and the process of thawing is supremely painful.
For 20 years after Rhona's disappearance, Nancy keeps hope alive by imagining her daughter growing up and founding a self-help group to trace missing children. Then a man is arrested and Rhona's remains are found. The hate that replaces hope is equally paralysing.
At the heart of the play is Nancy's route from hatred to forgiveness. Amongst her conflicting maternal emotions are flares of resentment for her surviving daughter, whose own painful voice arises clearly out of Dobson's intimate, open and often funny performance, a lesson in how to bear the unbearable.
At the same time, Lavery takes us on a disturbing journey inside the murderous mind of Ralph. While chilling in his meticulous planning and his objectification of his victims, Georgeson's extraordinarily detailed portrayal actually manages to move us from feelings of horror to pity for this wretched creature. He too is a victim of abuse trapped in suspended animation. Alongside his lurid sexual fantasies are pathetic ones of a childhood filled with love and poetry.
As Agnetha, whose psychology seeks to unlock and explain the 'frozen arctic sea' of the criminally sick mind, Lawrence perhaps has the hardest role. The supposedly objective scientist has her own emotional life - she's trying to come to terms with the sudden death of a lover and colleague - but this is overshadowed by the cataclysm of the central story. Still, Lawrence's feisty presence is a welcome foil to the intensity of emotion, while her exploitation of Ralph for research purposes raises uncomfortable issues even as she seeks to enlighten.
Switching from monologue to duologue as the characters struggle to free themselves, the meeting between mother and serial killer provides one of the play's most affecting scenes, the power of it buoyed by some canny directorial decisions. Ralph's donning of reading glasses to look at Nancy's family photos is typical of the fine detail of Bill Alexander's spare, sensitive direction, which is matched by Ruari Murchison's uncluttered set, set off by a curtain of uplights through which the actors materialise.

Suki Kim's debut novel, The Interpreter, is a bold and haunting murder mystery that takes a refreshing break from the "model minority" immigrant story. The story is about Suzy Park, a Korean American court interpreter whose detachment from life allows her to traverse the distance between old worlds and new, poverty and privilege, language and understanding. When Park stumbles across a clue about her parent's five-year-old murder, the urgency of understanding the truth opens up a compelling investigation into her family, the Korean American experience, and her own inertia.
Born in Seoul, South Korea, Suki Kim immigrated to New York with her family at age 13. She graduated from Barnard College in 1992, and went on to study at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London. Her essay about the writing of The Interpreter recently appeared in the New York Times.
Asia Society spoke with Suki Kim about the success of her first novel and her trip last year to North Korea, which she wrote about in an essay "A Visit to North Korea," in the New York Review of Books.
You wrote in your essay in the New York Review of Books, "The one thing that sets me apart is that I am certain, no matter how evil North Korea is supposed to be, that I could never hate its people." Can you elaborate on this sentiment?
People who are descendents of separated families are often told the same story over and over. My mother's brother was kidnapped by North Koreans during the war, which happened to a lot of families. People who have gone through these types of tragedy survive by telling their stories. It is a kind of therapy because there is always a lingering sadness. I inherited that sadness from hearing my grandmother's stories.
There is a combination of reasons why I went to North Korea. There was definitely the curiosity, which is more my intellectual western mind speaking because I wanted to see the most isolated country in the world, but I also wanted to understand the source of such personal and historical tragedy. An opportunity arose and I went. When I say that I could never hate the North Korean people I was trying to convey that I went there as an individual. People who write about North Korea are mainly political pundits, who have very strong opinions, whether pro- or anti-North Korean. I am not proclaiming any sides. I am a fiction writer, and I was trying to express that I went to North Korea not because of hate, but because of memory and loss.
Were their strong reactions to your essay on North Korea?
The Korea Times recently ran an article about my novel, in which they mentioned that I wrote a piece about North Korea. Right away, a reader wrote in saying that I must be a supporter of the North Korean regime. My novel was just released two months ago and it has nothing to do with North Korea. When people put a political slant on me it is often coming from hate, again the very thing that divides people.
I have also been contacted by the North Korean organization that took me there. There were half-hearted threats. They did not want me to release my article. So I went through several weeks of being terrified.
People have repeatedly told me that my essay is very sad. The sadness of people who have lost their home, whether it is my grandmother's story or even the pro-North activists who took me there. I was empathizing more with the whole heartbreak of the Korean people on both sides. That is what I am interested in.
You went to North Korea to reunite with an uncle who was separated from your family. Did you ever find out more information about his whereabouts?
No, I never did. As I said in my article, finding my uncle was not the only reason why I went to North Korea. It was certainly not the reason why I was chosen for Kim Jong Il's 60th Birthday Celebration. I was not even aware that I was a US delegate until I arrived in Pyongyang. It was at Pyongyang Airport that I realized I was actually being billed as a political figure.
Your debut novel, The Interpreter, breaks through the stereotypical images of the happy immigrant experience with a story of pain, loss, and murder. Were you conscious of this as you were writing the story or did it naturally emerge with the types of characters and plots you chose?
I don't know how much of the stereotypical images I set out to break, but I certainly focused on the theme of interpreting from the beginning. Interpreting suggests duality. It is a position of translating two languages while traversing two worlds. At the same time, an interpreter by definition must stay neutral. I think it was the New York Times who said that The Interpreter is about the channeller of other people's thoughts. Suzy Park, the heroine, is an acute observer who does everything to remain clear of involvement. Although she eventually breaks her cool, the novel starts out with a main character who is completely detached. Now, this premise is different from most Asian American stories, which are often sentimental because intrinsic in their set-up is memory. I wanted to find another way to deal with that memory. The detective angle, which pushed the novel to cross genres, was one of the ways to break that stereotype.
You said that when writing The Interpreter you lived the life of your protagonist, Suzy Park. Can you explain how you did this? Do you think it is important as a writer to use this method?
I knew that Suzy Park was going to be an interpreter before I wrote the book. At first, I thought I could just do research on the internet or in books. But I soon realized that I needed to understand more thoroughly because interpreting was becoming more than one metaphor. So I called up interpreting agencies and passed their exams and interviews and worked as an interpreter at depositions. With each interpreting assignment, more ideas kept coming to me about the character and the plot. Suzy Park examines her life through interpreting but I was closely examining Suzy. I would be interpreting as Suki Kim but often I would suddenly get confused and think, "This is a chapter I just wrote."
Why was interpreting an interest for you? Can you explain what the significance of language is for you? You wrote, "Being bilingual, being multicultural should have brought two worlds into one heart and yet for Suzy, it meant a persistent hollowness."
Before writing The Interpreter, I traveled extensively through writers' colonies. I also did post graduate studies in London specifically for Korean literature, where I learned translating. I came to the US when I was 13 years old. When you approach a new language at that age, you really study it. You have to examine it carefully and constantly -- every word, every comma, every possible connotation. In a way, my relationship to English is still like that. I never take it for granted because I was not born into it.
You were a student of East Asian studies. What is your impression of the field and about how "Asia" is taught to students?
I studied East Asian Studies at Barnard College and in London at the School Oriental and African Studies. My focus was literature and I was highly disappointed. This was 10 years ago so it might have hugely improved by now, I really hope, but with Korean literature the works that were being translated and the level of translation simply did not compete with Japanese or Chinese literature. There is no Korean Kawabata, Mishima, or Soseki -- these are household names in Asian literature. The quality of translation and marketing and educating is not the same for Korean authors. I do believe that Korea has top writers but the fact that there is not one single Korean author being celebrated here in Western culture is a very sad reality. Whatever problem must exist behind that process, it, unfortunately, directly feeds back to the perception of Korea.
Has your family been supportive of your fiction writing?
My parents are incredibly supportive. There is the stereotype of Asian parents pushing their kids to go into law or medicine, but, really, many parents besides Asian Americans do this to their children. My parents have always put art above anything else, oddly enough. They are not artists but they have always had the appreciation. My sister is an artist, whose painting actually appears on the cover of The Interpreter. My brother just quit the semi-pro career in golf. Three of us have continued to pursue our dreams. Much of that has to do with our parents. They are now so excited by my novel. I can't wait till they read the Korean translation, which will be coming out next month.
Are there writers who have been influential on your work?
I love the usual suspects that English majors love, such as Faulkner, Virginia Woolf, and Nabokov. When I was in college, I was deeply infatuated with Alain Robbe-Grillet, as well as Mishima and Natsume Soseki. In terms of Asian American fiction, the one that really took my breath away was, not surprisingly, Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior. I am not a big contemporary fiction reader, and these days, my favorite authors change all the time.
What do you think about audiences' expectations of Asian American fiction?
The minute you get published you are set up to receive criticism. Someone even said to me that it helps to be Asian to get your work published. The odd thing is that it has never been an advantage even when they say, "ethnic writing is in" because that puts you in a box. When you look at Asian American fiction, you do see a lot of what is expected to be "Asian American writing," which often portrays the old country as exotic. Audiences would rather hear about Asians in Asia, because that comes free of guilt and consequences. We often turn a blind eye to Asians here in the US.
In the world of publishing, you can be put in a box and critics immediately expect your book to go in a certain way. Just because my name is Suki Kim, my work could immediately be categorized as a "Korean American immigrant story." As a result, everyone has an expectation of where it will go and that is a disadvantage as a writer. It stops your freedom to create. You can't go unexpected ways because somehow being an Asian makes this not a surprise but a disappointment.
It is a struggle for any writer because writing is hard, but one look at any top publisher's catalogues of new fiction would reveal predominantly white authors, and to break into that without writing the expected, cliché stories is definitely a challenge. My goal is to not be in that box and to be a writer with a long-term career.
Interview conducted by Cindy Yoon of Asia Society.

To the Editor:In the past week, two more young lives have been taken from us for needless reasons. These two young ladies were excellent students and had families and friends that loved them beyond measure. But, because of reasons that we'll never know, someone made a choice to take their lives from them. What is going on in our society today? We read daily in our local newspapers of youth getting involved in things that we never would have thought of 20 years ago. And where are the parents of these young people? Why are we not being the parents that we are called to be by teaching our children to respect others and their property? I hear more and more of the laziness and disrespect of children in our school systems. And when they get into trouble at school, it MUST be the teacher's fault, because "my child wouldn't do that." Come on parents, step up to the plate! Our children did not ask to be brought into this world and it is our responsibility as their parents to teach them and lead them to be productive citizens of this country. They need to be taught respect for others, good work ethics, and a sense of pride in what they do. It's our responsibility to make sure that their homework is done, that they are not wearing inappropriate clothing to school, and that they are not involved in things that they shouldn't be. Do you even know who their friends are? Do you know what is on their MySpace or Facebook pages? Check it out, you may be surprised! My prayer is that parents will start being parents to their children and not their best friend. We will be held accountable one day to God; He's going to want to know why we didn't teach them well.

Product description
AD 69, the year following Nero's suicide and marking the end of the first dynasty of imperial Rome, was one of the most dramatic and dangerous in the city's history. In the surviving books of his Histories, the great barrister-historian Tacitus gives a gripping account of the long but single year' that saw the reigns of four emperors: disciplinarian Galba; conspirator and dandy Otho; unambitious hedonist Vitellius; and pragmatic victor Vespasian, who went on to establish the Flavian dynasty. In a narrative that extends from Britain to Egypt and from the Caucasus to Morocco, taking in revolt, conspiracy, battles and murder, Tacitus portrays history in terms of human sagacity and folly, pathos and heroism - and, ultimately, chance and fate.

BELLEFONTE — Jerry Sandusky's lawyers argued Thursday that he deserves a new trial because his defense lacked sufficient time to prepare for the first one, but the judge did not immediately rule after an hour-and-a-half hearing.
Attorneys for the former Penn State assistant football coach cited other alleged flaws in the trial, including that they were swamped by about 12,000 pages of documents and other materials, that Judge John Cleland should have instructed jurors about the years it took for victims to report he had abused them and that hearsay evidence was improperly allowed.
But prosecutors countered by showing most of the documents and records were not relevant to trial and got defense attorney Joe Amendola to admit that even after reviewing them after trial he did not find any that he would have used at trial.
Prosecutor Frank Fina told Cleland that the issue of failure to report by the victims was a major theme during the trial and was brought up during both parties' opening statements and closing arguments, and during cross-examination of the eight victims who testified against Sandusky.
He said Amendola's performance at trial, and his questioning of witnesses, are evidence that a fair trial took place even though the case moved from arrest to verdict in about eight months.
He used everything he had to cross-examine these young men, Fina said.
Sandusky, 68, attended the hearing but played no active role in the proceedings. He briefly greeted his wife and supporters beforehand.
The former assistant football coach was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse.

Dr. Manoj Jain: Alternative care isn't safe as a substitute
At a conference over lunch, Pat, a middle-aged health care consultant, revealed to me her lifelong battle with Crohn's disease, an inflammation of the bowels that causes diarrhea and abdominal pain.
I asked what her doctor advised. With some hesitation, she told me she was chiefly being treated by someone she called her "teacher," who helped her use her use qi gong, a Chinese system of breathing and energy exercise, to manage her illness.
She also sees a conventional doctor. But I was struck that this woman, whose job involves ensuring that hospital practices are supported by scientific evidence, had chosen to consult a provider of alternative medicine.
"My teacher looks at me as a whole person," she explained. "He looks at my emotional state, not just my diseased state. ... He empowers me on how to care for myself. ... My doctor looks at me just as a disease."
As an MD with two decades of experience, I felt a sense of rebuke. Personally, I am not averse to alternative medicine. Though I was raised and educated in America, I was born in India, where treatments such as ayurveda and yoga originated and where they are perceived as an equivalent method of healing many illnesses. And I use meditation and massage as aids to relaxation.
I also recognized some truth in Pat's words.
In a critically ill patient, we conventional doctors figuratively dissect the body. The cardiologist manages the heart, the pulmonologist manages the lungs, the nephrologist manages the kidneys, and each treats the diseases inflicting our respective organs. When the organ is no longer diseased, we sign off the chart.
When there is time, I try to step back and address my patients as a whole and try to listen to their concerns, but I admit I've been known to refer to a patient as "the pneumonia in Room 5133" or to describe an emotional patient as "a bit squirrely."
But I have no patience with alternative providers when they reach beyond their expertise or when they allow themselves to be misunderstood by the patient. I am too aware of the potential for disaster. A physician's assistant recently told me about a woman in her 30s with a prosthetic heart valve who had done well for years on blood-thinning medicine -- until her preacher/faith healer told her she was "cured." She discontinued her lifesaving medication. Within weeks, the PA said, a blood clot formed near her heart valve, shutting it down. She died in the operating room.
I've shared my skepticism with my parents, who are retired and spend the winters in India and summers in Boston. They both see conventional doctors and are proud of my career. But my mother is also an instructor of reiki, a practice based on the idea of healing energy. She tells me she has used it on her grandchildren to improve their SAT scores and on my father to help him prepare for medical procedures, and has employed it to treat her own headaches. She swears reiki is effective, though I remind her that randomized controlled trials don't support that conclusion.
My father, who takes blood pressure medicine, aspirin and lipid-lowering drugs, is learning about ayurveda and nudges me at every opportunity to do the same.
"Your health will benefit from drinking two glasses of lukewarm water each morning," he insists. "It will flush out your toxins." He offers this evidence: "Your grandfather does it every morning" -- and, my grandfather is 90. It is tempting to take advice offered with passion by those you trust.
I think of alternative-medicine providers as good used car salesmen -- that is, with little scientific proof for their treatments, they find many willing customers.
But I don't mean that as an insult. On the contrary, the alternative providers offer a useful lesson in the doctor-patient relationship for conventional doctors like me. A good provider is a teacher, a coach, a friend and a fan; many alternative practitioners manage to play those roles, with the result that their patients trust them and have faith in their treatments. Within the constraints of the conventional health care system -- with its 15-minute office visits, recurrent insurance denials and unnecessary diagnostic tests to avert malpractice suits -- I find it hard to perform all those important interpersonal tasks.
In addition, alternative providers have mastered the art of maximizing the power of the placebo. As R. Barker Bausell, writes, alternative therapies don't do much, if any better, than placebo treatments.
But placebos can be effective tools: For certain conditions, they have definitely been shown to cure or reduce symptoms. By listening carefully to patients and convincing them that they have the power to manage their illnesses, alternative therapists make the most of the mind's ability to help heal the body.
Pat, the health care consultant, is far from alone in seeing alternative practitioners to complement or augment medical care. More than a third of American adults use alternative therapies, with some of the most popular being meditation, acupuncture, chiropractic and the use of natural products such as glucosamine and echinacea. Almost all of those patients also see conventional doctors. Pat and most alternative medicine followers and providers see themselves in a "mind-body-spirit" continuum.
As for myself, I respect and agree with this perspective, but I'm not about to take up qi gong or become my mom's reiki pupil. I have taken my father's ayurvedic advice and started drinking two glasses of lukewarm water in the morning. I am not sure if it is helping, but it sure keeps me regular.

Child Care Reimbursement Program
Southern Connecticut State University values all students and realizes the many sacrifices one makes while obtaining an education. Southern is also aware of the special challenges that student parents encounter, one being the cost of child care services, so that they may attend classes in pursuit of their degree.
In light of that fact, the Division of Student and University Affairs has developed a child care reimbursement program for a limited number of both undergraduate and graduate student parents. The program offers a modest reimbursement up to $500 per family per semester to help student parents cover child care expenses, whether the services are provided through a licensed daycare center or through babysitting services. The reimbursements are awarded to those students who meet all of the eligibility requirements that are listed on the application form, with priority based upon financial need. Please make special note of the deadlines when applying for the reimbursement program. All applications will be reviewed by the SCSU Child Care Reimbursement Program Committee.

There were over 50 high school girls at the Department of Youth and Women's Affairs (DYWA) gymnasium in Pago Pago, participating in the first day of the Troy and Theodora Polamalu Foundation's Fa'a Samoa Initiative Volleyball Camp, Day 1.
As part of this year's Initiative, four-time Olympic volleyball athlete Logan Tom worked along with other coaches with local high school volleyball players to help improve their game.
The other site for the elementary aged student volleyball players is the American Samoa Community College gymnasium. Starting time for the DYWA camp site is 8:00 a.m., while the ASCC camp site starting time is 7:45 a.m. (ages 8-10), 9:45 a.m. (ages 11-12) and 12:45 p.m. (ages 13-15).
The camps are helping each athlete improve on their game by having the students participate in drills throughout the day. "I am learning a lot and I am getting to go over what I already knew about the game," said one participant. "
'Thank yous' go out to the Initiative for coming down to work with us— and thank you to the coaches," said another volleyball player. Keep reading Samoa News for the latest in this year's Troy and Theodora Polamalu Foundation's Fa'a Samoa Initiative.
ARLINGTON, Va. (AP) -- President Barack Obama saluted Americans who died in battle Monday, saying the country must "never stop trying to fully repay them" for their sacrifices and noting the first Memorial Day in 14 years without U.S. forces involved in a major ground war.
Speaking under sunny skies to some 5,000 people on the hallowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery, Obama called the burial place "more than a final resting place for fallen heroes"
"It is a reflection of America itself. A reflection of our history, the wars we've waged for democracy, the peace we've laid to preserve it," he said. "It is a reflection of our diversity, of people from different races and creeds who fought for the ideals that bind us as one nation."
His appearance was an annual rite for presidents at the site of the national cemetery nestled among the verdant hills overlooking the Potomac River. It came with the number of troops stationed in Afghanistan reduced to about 10,000, from a peak of over 100,000. Monday's tribute also took place against a backdrop of the increasingly complex U.S. effort to help Iraq defeat a surging Islamic State extremist group that has been gaining momentum in recent weeks, capturing Ramadi there and taking Palmyra in neighboring Syria.
Of Afghanistan, he said "we'll continue to bring them home and reduce our forces further, down to an embassy presence by the end of the year."
"We honor the more than 2,200 patriots who made the sacrifice in Afghanistan," he said. Earlier Monday, troops still stationed in Afghanistan paused for a moment of silence in honor of those who lost their lives in the war-torn country.
The Arlington observance was among a host of Memorial Day events across the country featuring parades, picnics and tributes. Presaging Monday's solemn event at Arlington was the roar of motorcycle engines throughout the capital Sunday as thousands of bikers saluted veterans with the Rolling Thunder's "Ride for Freedom." That was followed by a concert of patriotic music Sunday evening and Obama's private breakfast at the White House Monday morning with representatives of veteran and military family service organizations, along with the Gold Star Mothers, Gold Star Wives and Sons and Daughters in Touch. A Memorial Day parade was set for downtown Washington Monday afternoon.
North Dakota marked the 25th anniversary of the groundbreaking for the state's Veterans Cemetery south of Mandan. Gov. Jack Dalrymple directed all state agencies to fly the U.S. and state flags at half-mast, a practice put in place across the country.
Obama traveled by motorcade in late morning from the White House to Arlington and began his outing by laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns. He bowed his head briefly and listened with others to the playing of "Taps."
"Most Americans don't fully see, don't fully understand, the sacrifices of the 1 percent of the Americans who serve in this all-volunteer force," Obama said in his speech. "Our Gold Star families, our military families, our veterans, they know this intimately."
"Whenever I meet with our "Gold Star" families, as I did this morning, I see that their hearts are still broken, but still full of love," he said. "In the face of unspeakable loss, they represent the best of who we are."
Obama said the markers at Arlington signify the blessings enjoyed by "so many Americans."
"It's a debt we can never fully repay," he said, "but a debt we will never stop trying to fully repay."
Speaking ahead of Obama, Defense Secretary Ash Carter said, "We, your fellow Americans, lack the words to describe what you feel today because try as we may, and try as we do, we can never fully know. But we do know what your sacrifice means to us."

HONOLULU (AP) -- A U.S. military plane crashed and caught fire as it tried to land during training exercises in Hawaii, killing one Marine, injuring 21 other people and sending black smoke billowing into the sky.
Their injuries ranged from critical to minor, U.S. Marine Corps Forces Pacific spokesman Capt. Alex Lim said.
The tilt-rotor aircraft, which can take off and land like a helicopter but flies like an airplane, had a "hard-landing mishap" around 11:40 a.m. Sunday at Bellows Air Force Station on Oahu, the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit said in a statement.
The MV-22 Osprey had 22 people aboard - 21 Marines and one Navy corpsman assigned to the unit, spokesman Capt. Brian Block said in an email.
The unit is based at Camp Pendleton in California and is in Hawaii for about a week of training. The Osprey was being used for training at the time of the crash, the cause of which was under investigation, Lim said.
Kimberly Hynd said she was hiking the popular Lanikai Pillbox Trail and could see three Osprey aircraft performing maneuvers from her vantage point in the hills above the base.
She noticed them kicking up dirt but then saw smoke and fire. Hynd, who estimated she was 2 to 3 miles away, didn't hear the sound of a large crash.
"It looked like they were doing some sort of maneuver or formation - and so I was taking pictures of it because usually you can't see them that close up," Hynd said.
Donald Gahit said he looked outside his house after hearing sirens pass by and saw smoke rising from the air station.
"At first I thought it was clouds, but it was moving fast and it was pretty dark," the Waimanalo resident said.
Ospreys may be equipped with radar, lasers and a missile defense system, and each can carry 24 Marines into combat.
Built by Boeing Co. and Bell, a unit of Textron Inc., the Osprey program was nearly scrapped after a history of mechanical failures and two test crashes that killed 23 Marines in 2000.
The aircraft have since been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. Some Osprey also are helping with earthquake relief efforts in Nepal.
"It's a great day to be a solider. It's a great day to be a military veteran. And it's a great time to be in American Samoa," declared Senate President Gaoteote Tofau Palaie, a military veteran, at the start of his Flag Day Address last Friday.
Gaoteote — the keynote speaker for this year's ceremony dedicated to the U.S. military, both veterans and those in active duty — then called for all veterans, active duty personnel and reservists present at Veterans Memorial Stadium to stand. They did so, and were applauded by the crowd.
On behalf of all veterans as well as active duty military personnel, Gaoteote expressed appreciation to Gov. Lolo Matalasi Moliga and the territorial government for honoring them on the 115th anniversary of the Flag Day ceremony.
"While we are only servants, that is our life — to serve and protect, with the goal for all Samoans to live freely," he said. "What can we say about this special honor bestowed upon us... except to say, 'thank you'."
As an Army veteran, Gaoteote said that he is humbled and honored to represent all veterans and active duty members. He said that he owes this honor to so many people and he acknowledged and thanked Samoan fathers who served on the territory's "first home grown Army - the Fitafita Guard".
According to the Senate President, it was their example and courage that "put the thought of being an Army soldier in a young Samoan boy's mind" and shared a brief look at his personal life and what the military has done for him and his family, noting that the military "became a reality for this one reason — I had a family to provide for. My parents and my family in Samoa needed my support and I had started a family of my own. "
Gaoteote said the "military became the means for me to support my family" and at the time, he as an 18-year-old Samoan young man, didn't know that joining the military "was going to be the opportunity to learn and practice the real meaning of honor, respect, courage, and perseverance."
He stated that as Samoans, "we know honor [because] we... honor our family, our village and our island". Additionally, "we learn to become courageous in our own decisions and our actions".
"When we enlist [in the military], we're sworn to uphold the military oath, we wore our uniform with pride, we're taught to salute the flag. That is where we begin to learn and understand about freedom, liberty and justice," he pointed out.
And when sent overseas to places like Vietnam, Grenada, Panama, Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan, "we realized the mission was and always is to protect those ideals —freedom, liberty and justice, so that our children will grow up in a free country."
Gaoteote pointed out that veterans will not deny the fact that "it was an honor to serve under the American flag. We served in the past, our sons and daughters are serving today, and our grand children will serve tomorrow" in the U.S. Armed Forces.
"For me, my grandson — third generation — is now at West Point" U.S. Military Academy, said Gaoteote, who then paid respect "to the real heroes"— those who died while serving in the military.
He identified by name seven individuals — three fallen soldiers of the Vietnam war and four in the Iraq war, "these are just a few names, and yet there are so many of them… the fallen heroes, who left this world with honor, dignity, and respect."
In closing he again called for all veterans, reservists and active duty personnel to rise, as the crowd once again gave them resounding applause.
Prior to Gaoteote's address, the governor gave special remarks honoring veterans and current active duty personnel for their service and paying tribute to fallen Toa o Samoa as well as to their family members.
Also part of the program, was the official swearing in of former Sen. Mauga T. Asuega as Secretary of Samoan Affairs, administered by Attorney General Talauega Eleasalo Ale. (Samoa News had previously reported that the swearing in had occurred last Wednesday, but that event was, instead, Mauga signing documents as Secretary of Samoan Affairs.) See Samoa News online edition for Saturday, Apr. 18 for details of the governor's remarks.
After the speeches came the parade, or "pass in review" and the program was on time as scheduled, with the next event for the celebration the 'siva and pese'.
The veterans group, which included family members, was the first on the malae as they performed both siva and pese for the crowd with assembled guests, many from off-island.
The villages of Olosega and Sili representing the Manu'a District for 'siva' was up next, followed by the villages of Masausi and Sailele representing the Western District, also with their 'siva'.
The village of Nua & Seetaga, representing the Western District, was assigned "pese" only. The group had a one-minute special segment dedicated to fallen heroes, in which Public Works director Faleosina Voigt sang "America the Beautiful".
The group then noted in their presentation, improvements made to roads on other parts of Tutuila — but not the roads in the Alataua county — which includes Nua & Seetaga.
They pointed out that roads are so bad in their county that a pregnant woman riding in a vehicle, would give birth before reaching the hospital, from the shaking of the car due to bad road conditions, and this brought laughter from the crowd.
They called on the Lolo Administration to make road improvements in the Fofo and Alataua counties. They also asked the government to look at improvements for the growing school enrollment at Alataua Elementary school, which covers all of Alataua County. They also called for a return by the Territorial Administration on Aging to the food voucher, instead of the current cooked food program.
The last group on the malae was the much anticipated performance by more than 100 students of the Don Bosco Technology school from Samoa. The group's many fast moving dance actions brought applause and loud cheers from the crowd, many of whom showed up at the stadium to witness the performance by the all-male school.
In their pese, the group said they have heard that American Samoa is opening up a new cannery (referring to Samoa Tuna Processors Inc.,) and asked the territory to keep in mind the Don Bosco technical school, which has students who graduate in trades such as carpentry, plumbing and electrical work.
They also called on American Samoa to keep Samoa in mind and to share any benefits it receives from President Obama.
The final event of the day was the closing ceremony, which included the distribution of awards for the cricket tournament, although the amounts of their monetary prizes were not announced. Monetary gifts were also presented to groups who performed the siva and pese, but the amounts were also not made public, which has been the usual practice in the past.
There were special remarks by Samoa's Speaker of Parliament, La'auli L. Polotaivao Fosi, speaking on behalf of Head of State Tui Atua Tupua Tamasese Efi, Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi and the people and government of Samoa, expressing appreciation for the invitation to join our Flag Day celebration.
The last and final event for the 2015 Flag Day is the fautasi race, which has been postponed twice, and is now scheduled to be held at 11a.m. today. Prizes for the race will be distributed later today. (See separate story on Fautasi race.)

My first voyage with Voyager

Re: My first voyage with Voyager
The opener starts with Wildman helping Neelix in the kitchen and she goes into labor. Kes and the Doc help her deliver the baby. Wildman is having difficulties in her birth and I am thinking they are going to do a cesarean, but how silly of me, of course they will beam the baby out. (Wouldnt it just be easier to deliver all babies that way? Why torture women with child birth if it safe to transport babies out?) The Viidian show up on VOYs censors just as Wildman has her baby.
There is a brief spacial rift because of the plasma rift and there is an alternate reality that occurs. The ship is attacked by the Viidians, The Doc is swamped because the baby is sick, and there is an influx of injured passengers coming in because of the attack. The crew keeps trying to fix the problems, but they are occurring faster than the crew can make repairs. Kim is sucked into space, and BElanna reports him as dead. ((Too bad)) When Kes was going to help she disappears into a spacial rift, and there are over 600 fractures in the hull. Things look pretty bad and even worse when Tuvok announces that the baby died. Then the events change and everything is fine.
Wildmans baby is just fine, but she did have the baby during the time when Janeway had her visions. Kes seems to be able to go back and forth between the two different versions of the VOY. There is a shift throughout the episode from one VOY scene to the other. The two VOYs eventually figure out how to contact one another. The two Janeways decide to meet (the cut Janeway received on her face in one reality really helped to tell them apart; good planning)! It was so funny to listen to the two of them argue against each other!
The Vidiians infiltrate the Voyager and begin stealing organs and make a dash to get the new baby! Janeway sends Kim to get the baby and bring it to the second Voyager and the infiltrated VOY has set the self-destruct BOOM!! The Vidiian ship and the VOY have been destroyed .So which VOY was destroyed? This episode confused me a little too much jumping back and forth!!
Favorite part: Janeway arguing with herself.
Least favorite part: There was too much jumping around. While it was fun to see Janeway argue it against herself it was also confusing. It was a very sci-fi-ish episode with dual realities and the mixing of the two realities, but I just didnt care for this episode as much. I wonder how the people on the safe VOY felt when there alternate selves died. Were they happy because it would have been too confusing to understand and live with a second them, or were they deeply saddened by the loss of themselves?

Alumni Stories
Our team started our Conservation Season with a pretty challenging first project. The location: Middlesex Fells Reserve – a large reserve ten miles north of Boston. The project: install stone steps on a 100 foot portion of the Skyline trail. From the beginning, we knew that we wouldn't be able to lay 100 feet of stones in 5 days. I spoke with our State contact about this and he agreed that the project was ambitious for the period of time. He left it up to our team as to how we wanted to improve the trail with the time we had.
"Something different" is what Jessica Aronson Cook was looking for when she first joined the Student Conservation Association (SCA) as a Canyonlands National Park intern. Little did she know she would find her future career and life-long friends.
Growing up in Houston, Stacey Kinney says she only saw ducks on office park ponds. Now, here she was at Coldwater River National Wildlife Refuge in Lambert, Mississippi, netting and banding them by the dozen.
"Getting one of those little silver bands on is not easy," Stacey declares. "The ducks start flapping like mad and don't even listen when you tell them to calm down!"
Davon Goodwin had already made a range of contributions – and sacrifices – before he joined SCA. An Army veteran, he'd pulled extended tours of Iraq and Afghanistan; in the latter, an improvised explosive device fired shrapnel into his brain and shattered two vertebrae. Davon says recovering from his wounds was nearly as daunting as recovering his focus.
"I'd lost my sense of purpose," he recalls. "For a lot of soldiers, there's no mission anymore. You get that sense of, 'okay, what do I do now?'"
SCA Alumni Council Leah Duran (pictured below) writes about the REI-led stand-up paddle boarding class recently held at Richmond Marina in the Bay Area exclusively for SCA alums. A second course will be held this Friday, 7/25 in Redwood City.
Yellowstone National Park contains more than 1,100 miles of trail and among the most impressive is the one blazed by Dr. Mary Meagher. A first-year SCA alumna (Olympic NP, '57), Mary is widely credited with paving the way for women scientists in the park service. "Agencies did not hire women at that time, at least with my training and interests," she says. "That's just how things were."
The diary of the first-ever SCA crew tells of "15 young woodsmen" who built a new trail along the Elwha River in Olympic National Park, "swapped yarns" and vied in "glissading marathons" in their off-time. Then 16-year old Eliot Putnam started his journal exactly 57 years ago today. Eliot would go on to travel the world with the Peace Corps, CARE, Pathfinder International and the National Council for International Health (where he served as president) promoting family and reproductive health programs in developing countries.
Since a 2009 SCA internship at Shenandoah National Park, Don Macänlalay has gone on to do social media for The Nature Conservancy, the largest environmental nonprofit in America, and one of the most trusted. He began at their national headquarters in Arlington, VA , focused on Tumblr and Instagram, but soon moved on to managing all social media for their Washington state office in Seattle.
I had two job offers for the summer before my junior year of high school, and I went for the one that came with new boots. The job was with Student Conservation Association (SCA), a program that offers youth the opportunity for real jobs in the conservation field.
This year the Northwest Community program is celebrating 30 years of community programming and conservation service to the Puget Sound area. We're reaching out to our SCA members throughout our history to reconnect and find out where they're at today. This conversation is with Jesse Alton, '93-'96 Seattle Community Program alum and crew leader '04.

In 1976, as a high school junior, Ellen Tohn flew from New York to California to join an SCA trail crew in Yosemite National Park. The airline lost her luggage – but Ellen found her calling.
Following another hitch with SCA, degrees at Cornell and MIT, and years of work in environmental policy, today Ellen is a nationally recognized expert in housing-based environmental health threats, indoor air quality and lead poisoning prevention.

She served on a community crew last year but ever since her older sister came back from a national crew with some amazing pictures from Oregon, Callahan has wanted to venture further from home. Based on her letter below, this will not be her last SCA experience:
On the third weekend of October of this year, the Outdoor Nation San Francisco Summit brought together young outdoorsmen from all over the US to encourage them to lead their peers off of the couch and into the foliage. SCA's Alumni Council gathered at the event to play a special role: Highlighting the fact that an active outdoor lifestyle is the perfect precursor to a career in conservation.

A large brush fire reportedly broke out Wednesday shortly after 4 p.m.
Initial reports indicated there were three separate fires affecting four to five acres near 2071 Bendigo Road in Ridgway Township.
ST. MARYS – A documentary, "Lessons of Sister Victoria: Glimpses of life in the 50s" in St. Marys is being shown on Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Elk County Catholic High School auditorium. The event is open to the public with free admission. Any donations are being donated to the Elk County Benedictine Sisters.
The nearly two-hour documentary was produced by Gale Largey, a former St. Marys resident and 1962 graduate of Central High School who now resides in Wellsboro with his family. It explores the influence of a convent of Benedictine Sisters on life in the community of St. Marys.
The Elk County Solid Waste Authority is currently preparing for spring cleanup days in Elk County, where they will be assisting in the collection of electronics as well as used tires for municipalities throughout the county.
The authority, in conjunction with eLoop, will be hosting an electronics collection at the former municipal building located along Ridgway Drive in Ridgway Township. On Saturday, May 1, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., used electronics will be transported directly from the site by eLoop, who regularly collect electronics from the community recycling center in St. Marys.
JOHNSONBURG – A house destroyed by fire in late December in Johnsonburg was razed recently.
The home, located in the 200 block of Blaine Avenue, went up in flames shortly after midnight on Dec. 20, 2013.
The call came in at 12:33 a.m. to 204 Blaine Ave., a residence situated along a borough road running parallel to the state Route 219 bypass.
George and Lisa Pontious of Johnsonburg reportedly resided at the residence, according to Corporal Greg Agosti, a fire marshal with the Ridgway-based State Police.
ST. MARYS – The general consensus of business owners along South St. Marys Street seems to be that the inconveniences are worthwhile in the end.
Steve and Kim Kunes, owners of Ace Auto, said that they lost 10 feet of their property to the state right-of-way but the retaining wall was rebuilt at no cost to them.
"We're happy for the wall," Steve said. "I wish they would have finished the wall and I wish they would have made the wall higher so I could have got some of my property back, but that's the state. They took quite a bit."
ST. MARYS – The SGL Warriors Relay for Life team will be holding their 11th semi-annual comedy show, LOL Stand Up Comedy Show, on Saturday, March 29 at the Edgewood Hall.

Ridgway native Kristen Van Aken, postmaster of the Passumpsic, Vt. Post Office, recently authored a children's book entitled "Pigs! Under the Post Office?"
Based off a real-life situation of pigs living under a carriage house in the process of being converted into a post office, Van Aken penned the whimsical tale of three pigs who sneak into the basement of Postmaster Peachums' office. Matthew Gauvin is the illustrator for the book.

Keith Appling shook off a sprained right ankle in the first half and finished with 20 points to help No. 15 Michigan State beat Oakland 70-52 Friday night. The Spartans (4-1) have won four straight since starting the season with a loss to Connecticut in Germany. The Golden Grizzlies (2-4) never led, but didn't make Michigan State's night easy until late in the game. Oakland cut its deficit to four points with 6 1/2 minutes left, then Appling made a 3-pointer to help Michigan State pull away. The Spartans closed the game with an 18-0 run. Michigan State's Adreian Payne scored 15 points and grabbed nine rebounds, Denzel Valentine had 10 points and 10 assists and Derrick Nix added 10 points and seven rebounds. The Spartans, who were already without guards Gary Harris (shoulder) and Travis Trice (concussion), got a scare when Appling limped off the court late in the first half. Appling, though, was able to start the second half and made some key baskets soon after Oakland made so...

Talking with songwriter Tim Bruns about his life during the creation of his band's recent album — Churchill's "Happy/Sad," released earlier this year — is like a full-tilt exploration of the human experience.
Churchill, which headlines a benefit Saturday at the Marquis Theater, was doing well as it worked on the album in mid-2010. Bruns was happy. He asked his girlfriend and bandmate, Amy, to marry him. She said yes.
They broke up a couple of times but got back together. Then the band kicked Amy out of the group.
And Bruns was sad and frustrated — but loaded with inspiration.
"There was a time when she flew back home to Ohio, and I figured I would never see her again," Bruns remembered earlier this week from his Denver home.
The resulting emotional gut-check from those roller-coaster events led Bruns to a collection of addictively tuneful songs — and one of the year's strongest pop releases. And he's thankful that Churchill overcame the drama because the group that almost toppled under the weight of last year's trials is now stronger than ever.
"At the time, it was me going to practice with people who I was angry with," Bruns said. "I don't want to shed bad light on anyone, but there were a lot of things that all of us did that were stupid and selfish, and that caused a lot of pain with Amy and I.
"But . . . me being the leader of the band and balancing that with being in our relationship was not good for us. If she had stayed in the band, we probably wouldn't still be together."
And love eventually won too: He and Amy are still together. And they'll be married next month.
Bruns' life is clearly more happy than sad these days. In addition to his June nuptials, Churchill — which includes Michael Morter, Bethany Kelly, Joe Richmond and Tyler Rima — just returned from a Los Angeles trip to attend an industry conference and play a couple of showcases. The group is still riding the buzz from that sold-out CD release at the Hi-Dive a few months ago, cruising into Saturday's concert at the Marquis. (Proceeds benefit Project Worthmore, a nonprofit that helps refugees from Burma.)
The band will play one new song there, but most of the show will focus on "Happy/Sad," which made good on the promise the band has shown over the last few years.
Churchill started with just Bruns and Morter, and many of the early songs were written on Bruns' guitar and Morter's mandolin — both of which remain at the forefront of Churchill's richly textured sound.
"Happy/Sad" packs a few soundtrack- worthy songs — like the airy pop of "Miles" and the lulling, sweet-toothed folk of "The Only One." As the CD title suggests, it's both bright and depressed — a breezy, melodic listen for the Bright Eyes generation. The alt-country flourishes are measured but obvious, and the band even throws a grunge-inspired acoustic rocker into the mix with "Loud," which fits in just fine.
The record mirrors Bruns' recent personal history — with Amy, with the band, with himself.
"The last song on the record . . . is about the idea that everything has some sort of emotional attachment to it, happy or sad," Bruns said. "And yet those emotions, day in and day out, aren't enough to determine the way I'm going to live my life. We have those moments of extreme happiness and sadness, and if we live our lives based on those, we'd be a wreck.
"There's a hope for us outside ourselves and outside of the selfishness, arrogance and pride."
Somewhere in the middle, Bruns has found his happy place. He's not sure the whole label thing is the right fit for the group, though he does admire the Glassnote group — home to Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, the Temper Trap and others. The band's current focus involves some of the music supervisors the members met with last week in Los Angeles; they're the people who can place Churchill's orchestrations in TV, film and commercials.
Band members are also writing songs like mad, and they have eight new demos from the last three months. They hope to start tracking a new record later this year.
The songwriting process is still Bruns' favorite part of music, he said. And it's only getting easier for him.
"I'm at a point now where I don't care as much about impressing people or doing what I think will make other people happy or doing what will make us money in terms of writing a perfect pop song," Bruns said.
"And that's been really freeing for me — to write, and do what I like."

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Cleveland Indians two-time All-Star closer Chris Perez and his wife pleaded not guilty Monday to misdemeanor possession charges after marijuana was mailed to their home in their dog's name. The pleas were sent by fax to suburban Rocky River Municipal Court by their attorneys. The faxed pleas included a request that a requirement that the couple appear in person for a June 19 arraignment be dropped. Police said they were tipped off by postal inspectors to suspicious packages mailed to the Perez home and arranged a delivery last Tuesday under surveillance. Police say Melanie Perez accepted two packages. Authorities say Melanie Perez, whose maiden name is Baum, told the undercover officer delivering the packages that they were intended for her dog, named Brody. The package was addressed to Brody Baum. According to investigative reports, Perez told drug agents with a search warrant that he had pot for personal use and pointed out two jars. Asked about any drugs or weap...
