It had to occur at some point. Just the possibility of accomplishing a Jurassic Park-style resurrection of dinosaurs from DNA fragments was too tempting. And, sure enough, that is the direction some scientists are heading. But they are not using DNA trapped in pieces of amber. No, these scientists plan on bringing dinosaurs back through ordinary bird eggs. That's right, bird eggs! Can't you just picture an old mother hen roosting on a clutch of eggs, only to look down and see scale-covered dinosaurs emerge? But don't fret too much; the techniques and knowledge needed to make this scenario a reality don't even exist yet. This is just the latest attempt to perpetuate the dinosaurs-to-birds theory.
"Bring out the T. rex in your chicken and the ape in your aunt. The past is coming back to life with a roar as we discover the power of evolution's sleeping genes," speculates Philip Cohen (2001, p. 31). That's a truly bold statement, considering we do not yet possess the knowledge or techniques to begin working on such a project. The idea sounds relatively easy—take bird DNA, tweak the genes in order to allow evolution to "work in reverse," and the result, according to Cohen, is the blueprints for dinosaurs. However, this idea makes some extraordinary assumptions. First and foremost, it assumes birds did evolve from dinosaurs. However, as we have pointed out before, the evidence for this simply does not exist (see Harrub and Thompson, 2001a and 2001b). Second, this scenario assumes that scientists will be able to magically get evolution to work in reverse. Yet experience and time already have demonstrated that researchers are unable to artificially make things "evolve forward" in the lab, much less go in reverse!
The cover of the July 21, 2001 issue of New Scientist has an eye-catching picture of six plastic dinosaurs crawling out of six broken chicken eggs. This picture is positioned just below a cover banner that reads: "Rewinding Evolution—How to Turn a Chicken into a Dinosaur." The author of this paper describes two hot new fields that he believes will make it possible to go from chickens to dinosaurs: the evolution of development (what they now term evo-devo), and comparative genomics. However, both of these fields are far from building a roaring dinosaur from pieces of chicken DNA. Human chromosomes range in length from 50 million to 263 million bases. With few exceptions (e.g., red blood cells), each of the trillions of cells in the human body contains a complete set of chromosomes—known as the genome. If all the bases in the human genome were spread out 1 millimeter apart, they would extend from Memphis to Los Angeles. Each single human cell contains over 30,625 genes hidden amongst our 22 pairs of chromosomes (excluding the X and Y sex chromosomes). Of the 30,625 genes identified thus far, all are located on material smaller than a grain of salt—and yet, according to Cohen, researchers intend to "reach in there" and rewind evolution (2001). This will be no easy task, because while humans possess 46 chromosomes, chickens possess almost twice that number (78), which will only make their task that much more difficult.
The author makes genetic manipulation appear as easy as walking into a room and turning on a light switch, when, in reality, this could not be farther from the truth. We are just now finishing up the massive human genome project that was carried out to map the genetic material in human chromosomes (see Thompson, 2000a; 2000b). However we still do not know what all of these genes do yet. It's one thing to map out the base pairs that compose all of our genes, but it is quite another to know the function and regulatory switches of each of those 30,625 genes. Combine that with the fact that many genes have multiple functions and occasionally require signaling from neighboring genes, and you can see very quickly that mapping the human genome was only a small part of the overall big picture.
Additionally, we do not currently possess the ability to just "jump in" and cut genes in any fashion that we want—hoping to somehow rewind the genes. Through genetic engineering, we have gained the ability to break DNA chains using restriction enzymes, but even this technology is limited as to where the cuts actually take place. Now comes the additional problem of not having the genome of birds mapped. Then, add to that the insurmountable problem of not knowing the dinosaurs' genomes. Oftentimes, the DNA segments that make up our genes are composed of areas referred to as "junk" DNA, which is supposed to indicate that they lack any apparent function. However, researchers have found that many of these areas regulate genes and thus, the genes' on and off switches, if you will, are located in these "junk" regions. Currently, biologists have a hard enough time finding these regions, let alone deciphering their effects. Plus, this information comes from experiments utilizing living animals that can be manipulated in an effort to record specific changes. Constructing the regulatory region of extinct dinosaur genes will be a gargantuan task, especially given the fact that many genes have more than one function. The author even admitted that the task will be "much tougher finding all the various sequences that turn them on and off at the right times and places in the developing sequences" (p. 32). Genetic engineers currently do not possess the ability to microscopically correct genetic diseases in humans, and yet these same individuals are proposing to make dinosaurs from bird DNA?!
While this article contained some interesting pictures of chicken-dinosaur hybrids, and a great deal of speculation, data from scientific observations were obviously lacking. The author stated that "most of the genes that build a chicken would be interchangeable with those found in a dinosaur" (p. 32). But which bird DNA would researchers use? Pelican, or canary? Toucan, or ostrich? And from the DNA they selected, what type of dinosaur would be possible? Does canary DNA most closely resemble Triceratops, while ostrich DNA matches Tyrannosaurus rex? And what will these individuals do in order to assure themselves of the two different sexes needed for reproduction. Also, while we do have fossilized dinosaurs eggs to use as models for size, we still lack the knowledge of the conditions in which such eggs should be incubated. It appears to me that, from the available evidence, the idea of "rewinding evolution" to produce dinosaurs from bird DNA is not quite all it's cracked up to be!

Mother to be charged with manslaughter for baby's drowning
BENTON COUNTY, Wash. -- The Benton County Prosecutor's Office has decided to charge a Benton City mother with 2nd degree manslaughter for the death of her 1-year-old daughter.
Back in November, investigators say Wendi Finkbeiner-Setzer left her baby in the bathtub while she worked on the computer.
Court documents obtained by Action News reveal that the woman's 18-year-old son came home, checked on the girls in the tub and found the baby face-down.
The tub had filled with 10-12 inches of water, according to the documents. Officials suspect the 2-year-old, who was also in the tub, may have turned on the faucet.
"Police noted that water had apparently overflowed from the bathtub because the floor of the bathroom was wet, throw rugs in the bathroom were sopping wet and clothing by the tub was wet," according to the documents.
Finkbeiner-Setzer told investigators she had not been out of the bathroom for more than five minutes.
1-year-old Piper Finkbeiner was determined braindead and taken off life support one week later at Seattle's Children's Hospital.
Here's the full news release from the Benton County Sheriff's Office:
On November 5, 2012 at about 1930 hours, deputies from the Benton County Sheriff's Office responded to the Kadlec Medical Center where a one year old child was being treated for symptoms of drowning.
Deputies learned that the mother of the child, Wendi M. Finkbeiner-Setzer (10/8/73) had put her one year old daughter, along with her two year old daughter, into a bathtub of water and then left them alone to work on the computer.
Ms. Finkbeiner-Setzer's teenage son stopped by the bathroom to check on the girls after about five minutes and discovered the one year old child, face down in the water and not breathing.
Upon discovery of the baby, an ambulance was called which subsequently transported her to the Kadlec Medical Center. After arriving at Kadlec, the baby was then transferred to Seattle Children's Hospital where she was later declared dead.
After the conclusion of the investigation, the case was forwarded to the Benton County Prosecutor's Office for review. The Prosecutor's Office has decided to charge the mother, Ms. Finkbeiner-Setzer with Manslaughter in the second degree.

text: Recent national and international events (terrorist attacks of 9-11, the 2004 tsunami, Hurricane Katrina, the war in Iraq) as well as elevated rates of interpersonal and community violence, have increased public awareness of psychological trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Great strides have been made in terms of defining trauma and PTSD, identifying risk and resiliency factors, and developing evidence-based treatments. Nevertheless, the field continues to be challenged ny evolving diagnostic criteria and controversy (e.g., the repressed memory debate, multiple personality, and false disability claims). This course explores the meaning of psychological trauma and it impact on the individual and society. Social, psychological, and biological theories will be considered. In addition, we will examine past and current definitions of trauma and PTSD, risk and resiliency factors, various treatment approaches, and current controversies in the field.

Many parents in Carbon County may remember getting milk and graham crackers in kindergarten as 5-year-olds.
Local adults may also remember having an afternoon nap in the same classes.
Some parents remember half day classes in first grade. Others remember night time junior high dances.
Some adults remember when the only inter schools sports that included women were track and field and swimming.
The memories of parents have changed a great deal in the last 35 years.
Evolving educational philosophies at the state and local level, increased federal funding for programs which controls purse strings and a general change in American society have made public schools as unrecognizable to most adults as modern automobiles would be to people who drove Model Ts in the 1920's.
But just as the basis of the Model T and modern car is to get from point A to B, public education has the same goals for generations: to graduate students with an experience that will help youth find jobs or to go on to a higher level of instruction.
However, many people believe that public education is not doing its job as well as it used to. Along with remembering the graham crackers and milk, they think education was more pertinent and comprehensive in the past.
"People often think that schools used to be better and did a better job of educating students," notes Debbie Blackburn, a member of the Carbon County Board of Education. "But that's not true."
"Considering all the responsibilities that have been added to schools over the years that have made the job much more complicated, the schools have actually improved the education they are providing students," points out Blackburn.
The naysayers point to falling national ACT test scores and poorer comprehension by students of the basic principles of math, reading and science.
However, what the nation does is not necessarily what Utah schools do.
ACT scores are a good example of the myth that things are getting worse.
The composite score for students nationally last year was 20.9.
In Utah, students had a composite of 21.5.
In addition, Utah has more students than the national average taking the ACT test.
Across the United States, apprpoximately 40 percent of students actually take the college entrance exam. In Utah, 67.5 percent take the test.
The increase in the basic education of students has occurred while Utah's funding rates per student have dropped considerably.
In the early 1970's Utah's expenditures per student ranked in the middle of the pack of all states reporting.
Today, Utah ranks 51st nationwide in spending, falling below traditionally low states like Mississippi.
Overall, Utah's total taxes that went to education in 1993-94 was the seventh highest in the nation.
By 1998-99, the level of funding had fallen to 35th in the country.
One of the reasons for the drop is the high birth rate to adult taxpayers in the state.
Utah averages approximately 1.5 more children per household than the national average.
Therefore, Utahns per capita pay more for education than almost any other state, yet spending per student is less.
Projections show the problem becoming more pronounced. Utah's school age population (between 5-17) was at 508,160 in 2003.
The governor's office of planning and budget projects that there will be 659,720 students enrolled in Utah's public schools by 2013.
Statewide, the number of new students entering the schools this year was around 7,000.
By 2013, the number is projected to be 19,610.
After 2013, it appears the trend for growth will start going down, but remain at more than 8,000 new students annually through 2020.
Despite the seemingly overwhelming obstacle, Utah high schools graduate almost 90 percent of the students who enter the doors. Nationally, high schools graduate at a rate of 71 percent.
Because of the cost of education in the state, federal dollars become more important.
And the federal government has more control over what local public schools can do.
With the advent of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), schools have to provide extra services to students who are notstaying up with classmates.
Complying with the federal mandates means more increased costs as well.
By 2014, all schools are mandate to meet the goal of NCLB and to do that will be schools must provide a lot more in school tutoring, more before and after school programs, summer school, Saturday school, night school and other remediation courses.
In addition to adding to the load of making sure students of all social and economic classes meet passing standards, teachers themselves are also under scrutiny under NCLB. Within this school year, all teachers must prove they are high qualified with a major or equal qualifications of time and expertise in each subject they teach in public schools. Educators say in large school districts with large schools this will not be as hard to achieve, because there is enough availability of personnel, and enough students to teach in any one subject so that those schools will easily qualify. But in rural districts with small student populations and smaller qualified teacher pools may have a hard time keeping up with this part of the program.
But regardless of new federal programs or state mandated testing, probably the biggest difference between schools today and those of the mid-20th century is the fact that the countries social structure has changed and what is expected of schools has changed along with it. The diversity of students that schools must accommodate today is very different than it was then. In 1970 schools did little to accommodate students who were different from what considered the norm. Today schools, based on both societal and legal pressures must deal with cultural, ethnic, and language problems. They have to consider the socio economic class their students fall into and whether they are homeless, in poverty and what the home environment is like. Schools also must provide more services than ever for those with disabilities, mental illness and those with substance abuse problems.
The legalities of handling students with and without problems, including the possibility of litigation, both personally for teachers and administrators as well as liabilities for school districts has grown far beyond what anyone going to school or teaching in a school in 1970 could have imagined. Today administrators must be more concerned than ever about being even handed with all students and to be sure all are served equally.
School face the same problem that society as a whole faces; things change. Sometimes it happens quickly and vastly as well, but for those who are not involved directly in the day to day operations of schools, situations are fixed in the mind. Finding a way through those myths and to the truth of the present is not an easy process.
Editors note: Today's story is the final in a series of three articles highlighting the facts and misconceptions about public education.

HEUVELTON Heuvelton Central School is looking for a new middle and high school principal in the wake of Principal Michael W. Wardens decision to take over as high school principal at Salmon River Central School, Fort Covington.
Mr. Warden was appointed at the Salmon River Board of Education meeting Sept. 9.
Heuvelton Superintendent Susan E. Todd said she was not blindsided by the announcement.
He talked to me about it before he applied, she said. We had some good conversations about the pros and cons of working in a small school and the pros and cons of working in a larger school.
Mr. Warden, who has worked at Heuvelton since 2002, has had a nice tenure here, Mrs. Todd said.
Its unusual to have a principal for that length of time, she said.
Mr. Warden said his decision to leave didnt involve Heuvelton Central.
It had nothing to do with anything here, he said.
At the June Board of Education meeting, about 40 community members came out to voice their support for Mr. Warden while the board reviewed his contract.
His contract was renewed, Mrs. Todd said, adding that his was one of several contracts at the school that is reviewed annually.
Mrs. Todd said the search for a new principal is just beginning and she plans to reach out to former principals and superintendents who may be willing to fill in on a per-diem basis in the interim. Mr. Warden is helping in the search, she said.

Orthodontics (Braces)
Clinical Services
The goal of the Department of Orthodontics is to provide orthodontic care that is specific and appropriate to the needs of each patient. The College of Dentistry offers high quality care in a convenient setting. Patients are treated using contemporary and advanced techniques under strict infection control guidelines.
The postdoctoral clinic offers comprehensive treatment of malocclusion ("braces") provided by dentists who are in training to be orthodontists.
The minor tooth movement clinic offers care by students in the D.D.S. program of our college.
The faculty practice provides treatment in a setting that is similar to a private office, but with all the resources of College of Dentistry and Health Sciences Center close at hand. Services performed by residents and students in the postdoctoral and minor tooth movement clinics are carefully supervised by members of the faculty. These clinics are primarily for teaching and only patients who meet the educational needs of the department are selected for treatment. Please be aware that treatment may take more time in the resident and student clinics.
We accept patients having all types of malocclusions, ranging from very simple to extremely complex conditions. To treat skeletal jaw disharmonies, the Department has developed very close working relationships with the Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and the UIC Craniofacial Center. If you think we may be able to help you, please call us at 312.996.7505.
The Clinic
Our clinic is part of the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The newly-remodelled clinic features an open design and provides a pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for the patients and personnel. It is conveniently located on the first floor of the College of Dentistry in Room 131.

how do website owners cope with stuff like this? if my website was partnering another website and this happened i would be really upset and would feel threatened--- mayeb the other partner webstie (onrpg?) is secretly trying to destroy me (mmohut)! i would be so suspicious... like Japanese intrigue-suspicious.... do website partnership agreements cover stuff like this? Bandwidth capaicty, latency, responsiveness etc etc wow how complex... because im sure people make a living from forums.

If you cause anything that disrupts server uptime on a shared server, they'll simply terminate the contract. It's written in there, you know it and you should not try to. It's very hard as well, as the only thing you can really do is overload the CPU and hope on physical damage. Chances on that are still very slim as such servers are in a server farm and cooled to the point where the sun even freezes. Most likely, you even have a shared CPU (so you get CPU 0 and 1, while the other one gets 2 and 3)
A good shared server usually has a NIC per user unless it's cheap.
No problems so far really, maybe chokes up a bit loading pages once in a while but no errors or anything.

PHILADELPHIA The story of the Mattingly family couldnt have started in a more fitting place the Indian River gymnasium.
Connie, a cheerleader, would watch Wayne sink 3-pointer after 3-pointer for the Warriors boys basketball team in the mid 1980s.
Now married, Wayne and Connie frequent that gym to watch two of their children, Justin and Sarah, sink 3-pointer after 3-pointer for the respective Warriors boys and girls basketball teams this season.
Entering Wednesday, Justin was the Frontier League boys leader with 42 made 3-pointers.
Sarah ranked second among the girls with 40. There are 10 teams in the league that have made less 3-pointers than Sarah Mattingly this year.
Both are chasing the school record for most 3-pointers made in a season, 52, held by their oldest brother, Jarrod.
I think its genetics, said the youngest member of the Mattingly family, Sarah, a sophomore averaging a team-high 8.2 points in her second varsity season.
Ive practiced to become a better shooter, but just by learning from my brothers and my dad, I think just watching my brothers succeed and seeing their form and everything, Ive been able to pick up some techniques and other things I need to be successful, she added.
Justin and Sarah have each made just two baskets from inside the 3-point arc this season.
I guess Im a man of mathematics and three points are worth more than two, said Justin, a senior scoring 9.5 points per game in his fourth varsity season. But, I think, if you look at the rest of our team, we have a lot of guys that can penetrate to the basket and finish, so its nice to have kind of a counterpart to that, somebody that is able to shoot outside and keep the floor open.
Justin said that he grew up learning the game by playing 1-on-1 with Jarrod and their non-biological brother, Shawn Mitchell, on the hoop in their garage.
They would also meet up with the Coleman family, which consists of five brothers, to play pickup games at the high school on weekends.
Sarah, though, would only observe.
I never really got into it with my brothers because I would always get mad because they were so much better than me, she said.
While both admitted to getting competitive with their father during games of pig or horse in the driveway, the two said there isnt a real sibling rivalry between them.
Its all fun and games, but I have seen her foot on the line a couple times so I think the refs need to check that out, Justin said. But theres no real competition, its just fun. I know Im glad to see her being so successful and am proud of her and happy for her.
And while the race is on to see which Mattingly ends up with the most threes this season, the two said they arent placing any wagers.
I think we all know Justin is a better shooter than I am at this point, Sarah said.
Justin will have one more regular season game to track down his brother, a nonleague matchup with Fulton on Friday, and will then need the Warriors (11-4 overall, 8-4 league) to advance in the postseason to give him a shot. They have clinched the No. 2 seed in the A Division playoffs and would be eligible for the Section 3 playoffs even if they were to lose out.
Sarahs fate will rest on the Indian River girls postseason success. The Warriors (11-5, 9-3) tied Carthage for the A Division regular season title, and will also be eligible for a sectional berth regardless of their league playoff outcome.

BUMP. Any news on the exact date ?
BUMP. Any news on the exact date ?
I just want to say THANKS! Im so glad and happy now
I have now sent an email to the QL. With containing the text:
"Hello there,
I would first like to thank for the Swedish servers is back up and running again, much-awaited and missing. Thanks again, however, the information on this has been very poor, frugal if not downright lousy, but you learn from mistakes.
Then I have a thought and something to say, a little tip.
You have started with "month mappack/map-rotaions", and its really worthless, from everyone's opinion it is. You put restrictions on your users who have both PRO and PREM, when we almost bought freedom from advertising and other nonsense. Why not let us have our freedom in choosing maps we want to play?
I can say this, its that you have both lost players after you introduced so we could not vote on the servers for the maps, now that the Swedish servers were down (not Swedish players except Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, etc.). And even after you have done limitations on which maps we should be able to play.
Again, let us that have PRO and PREM to got to have our freedom and choice left - Our response to this is to be able to play the maps we want, how often and much as we would like but you can put restrictions on users with common membership, for example that an ordinary member can only play the same map 10 times in 24 hours and a maximum of two times in a row.
Can not you honestly and seriously consider such an option? Excuse my perhaps slightly bad English
Kind regards Nisse"
Ehm, how are premium and pro users restricted? Last time I checked they could play on any map they wanted. It's only natural that this doesn't apply to standard servers.
I would like to have the choice of choosing whether I should have a server only for players with prem/pro account or for all, and with all the maps. As it was before, because I have both had a server for only pro/prem and one for all, and the pro/prem is not as well attended as a server for all, which is understandable but if the server isnt well attended, there is no point in having it.
Things get interesting now with dreamhack starting in a couple of days.
hours later edit: lol didn't notice they are online. DH staff gets things done, and they do it in time \o/

Thanks for server, ping is great.
But there is no unranked ctf server there, while every other location has it. Please put it back.

Awesome go to sock. If you have never tried a merino wool sock before I would highly recommend it. Very soft, you can wear it next to your skin. You can wash and dry like normal (I would not suggest using fabric softeners, as with any technical fiber). Keeps its elasticity when wet, unlike a cotton sock. Great for anyone that is hard on their socks, or needs something durable, comfortable, and odor resistant. YOU WILL GET YOUR MONEYS WORTH -- AND FOREVER HAVE EXPENSIVE TASTE IN SOCKS. :0)

|ASU Falters Late in Loss to ETSU
|Written by Mike Flynn
|Thursday, 07 April 2011 06:37
Appalachian State University baseball held one of the nation's top offensive clubs to just one hit through six innings but East Tennessee State rallied for nine runs over its final two at-bats to deal Appalachian a 9-4 defeat on Wednesday evening at Cardinal Park.ASU left-handers Ryne Frankoff (Apex, N.C./Apex) and Chad Farmer (Evans, Ga./Greenbrier) limited ETSU, which was hitting .308 as a team coming in, to just one hit over the first six innings to help stake the Mountaineers to a 3-0 lead. However, the Bucs ruined the southpaws' fine work when Kerry Doane knotted the game at 3-3 with a three-run home run in the bottom of the seventh.
Things completely unraveled for Appalachian (16-14) in the eighth, as three pitchers surrendered six runs on four hits to allow ETSU (17-9) to take a commanding 9-3 lead. Only two of the Bucs' four hits in the eighth — all singles — left the infield but ASU's three hurlers combined to issue four walks and throw two wild pitches in the fateful frame.
The Mountaineers put the tying run on deck in the top of the ninth when ETSU closer Bo Reeder walked in a run but Reeder struck out Jason Wallace (Greensboro, N.C./Ragsdale) to end the game and snap Appalachian's season-high-tying four-game winning streak.
Zack Briggs (Lexington, N.C./Central Davidson) ran his hitting streak to an ASU season-best 10 games with a solo homer in the fourth inning while Jeremy Dowdy (Raleigh, N.C./Wakefield), Doug Jones (Charlotte, N.C./Mecklenburg) and Derek Brown (Siler City, N.C./Jordan-Matthews) also drove in runs for the Mountaineers.
Zach Joyce (Lexington, N.C./North Davidson) walked the only batter he faced in the seventh to suffer the loss and fall to 0-1.
Doane not only went 2-for-4 with four RBI at the plate but also got the win on the mound with a perfect inning of relief to move to 2-0.
Appalachian returns to action on Friday when it opens a three-game Southern Conference series at Furman. The series opener is set for 7 p.m. at FU's Latham Stadium.

MALONE Adirondack Energy Products, which also owns and operates Mountain Mart gas stations, was fined and subjected to several stipulations in a federal civil case stemming from improper testing, monitoring, and record-keeping at seven north country sites, one of which had an unreported kerosene leak for almost three months.
The company, as part of a deal, will pay a $46,000 fine. Additionally, they are to install electronic fuel release-detection-monitoring equipment and conduct equipment tests at Adirondack Energy and Mountain Mart locations, as well as comply with federal laws pertaining to record-keeping of spill alerts and mandatory spill reporting.
Court documents also state that Adirondack Energy agreed within the next year to conduct a community outreach seminar to instruct on the federal regulations that apply to underground storage tanks.
According to a complaint filed on Feb. 24, 2011 in United States District Court, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) inspected Adirondack Energy Products locations in Malone and Plattsburgh on July 14, 2009. The Malone store, located on Junction Road, did not maintain adequate equipment-testing records and the Plattsburgh store, which is located over a primary aquifer on Monroe Way, did not have leak sensors on fuel pipes, the complaint states.
The second Malone Mountain Mart on Spaulding Avenue was checked twice, according to the complaint, once on May 17, 2007 and again on April 24, 2009. The 2007 exam revealed that the store was not conducting any leak-detection testing; the 2009 visit showed that the first tests werent conducted until July 19, 2008. The checks are required by federal law.
In August of 2010 the EPA inspected a Mountain Mart station on South Main Street in Massena and noted that a kerosene release sensor had been in fuel alarm state for almost three months and no report had been made to the state Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), as required by law, according to the complaint. The document states that as of the day it was prepared, the company still had not reported the kerosene release to the DEC.
Also, during an Oct. 10, 2008 inspection of the Massena store, EPA officials noted there were no records from underground fuel-release detectors, as required by law.
That same day in 2008, federal agents inspected the Canton Mountain Mart, and discovered a lack of overfill-prevention equipment and inadequate records of release-detection monitoring.
Several days earlier, on Oct. 7, 2008, the complaint states that EPA agents checked up on Mountain Mart on U.S. Route 11 in Moira, which is located over a state-protected water source. They found in addition to a lack of mandatory equipment testing, the store also did not monitor for fuel leaks.
In all the instances of inadequate record-keeping, the complaint says that Adirondack Energy officials stated they werent aware of the regulations.
Bruce Monette, Adirondack energy president, was not available for comment.

A $53 million state-of-the-art, international smart grid project has been powered-up on land belonging to NNSA in Los Alamos, N.M. The New Energy and Industrial Technology and Development Organization (NEDO) of Japan, Los Alamos County through the Dept. of Public Utilities (DPU), and Los Alamos National Laboratory hosted a ceremony to unveil a photovoltaic array, a battery storage system, a smart house, and a state of the art energy management system that will serve Los Alamos residents.
The project demonstrates smart grid technology and applications which contribute to international standards for energy solutions and minimize environmental impacts world-wide. Specifically, the project partners will show how to provide a significant proportion of renewable energy on the electric grid to meet a community's residential needs, while making the grid more efficient and stable.
The smart grid facility consists of 2 megawatts of photovoltaic power constructed on a recently capped landfill (the first in New Mexico), 8.3 megawatt hours of battery storage with state-of- the-art controls, a smart house equipped with its own photovoltaic and battery system, a smart meter and smart appliances.
About the photo:
New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez, NEDO Chairman Kazuo Furukawa, U.S. Congressman Ben Ray Lujan, Los Alamos County Council Chair Sharon Stover, Los Alamos National Laboratory Director Charles McMillan, Toshiba CEO Norio Sasaki along with other key executives from major participating companies such as Kyocera, Hitachi, Sharp, Itochu, NGK Insulators joined in the event to power up the smart grid in Los Alamos.
During a ceremony held last week, the RightPath Integrated Project Team (IPT), a collaborative group of individuals from the Department of Energy (DOE) and NNSA, was awarded the Secretarial Achievement Award for its efforts to transform and modernize existing IT environments.
The IPT is made up of the following members:
Jared T. (Travis) Howerton – National Nuclear Security Administration – IPT Lead
Anil Karmel – Los Alamos National Laboratory – Chief Architect
Robbie Green – DOE Office of Chief Information Officer – Operations
Mary Helen Hitson – Y-12 Site Office – Cyber Security
Peter Tseronis – DOE Office of Chief Information Officer – Policy
In support of Secretary Chu's vision to achieve management and operational excellence, the DOE and NNSA Offices of the Chief Information Officer established the RightPath framework and partnership to coordinate delivery of a robust set of IT capabilities. In doing so, the IPT created an impressive network of sub-IPTs and advisory councils. These groups develop IT business solutions, gather user requirements, streamline procurement processes, reduce spending redundancies, write policy and establish risk-based cybersecurity guidelines across the department.
Over the last six months, the IPT has worked tirelessly to coordinate efforts across the agency to align mission areas and cybersecurity needs with IT services and policies. The end goal of these efforts is to build a system and infrastructure that is cost effective, supports efficient operations, and ensures the cutting edge application of technology and creative solutions in a framework that provides flexibility.
The RightPath IPT is working hard to make these IT modernization initiatives a model for other federal agencies to follow.
Construction of the Kansas City Plant at the new National Security Campus has included some unique building requirements in support of the national security mission.
Before operations begin at the Linear Acceleration Test Lab, KCP installed a safety steel cable mesh that can stop a 20-pound item traveling 240 mph inside a centrifuge.
KCP regularly tests materials in a variety of environmental conditions including pressure, temperature, acceleration and vibration to enable designers and product engineers to identify design weaknesses and failure modes before production.
The new National Security Campus will be move-in ready by January 2013. Nearly half the size of our existing facility, the new, state-of-the-art green facility will reduce annual operating costs by $100 million and cut energy consumption by 50 percent.

B&W Pantex employees served barbecue to hungry patrons of the Amarillo Chamber of Commerce Good Times Celebration and Barbecue Cook Off recently. This was the 17th consecutive year Pantex has served award-winning barbecue at the event, which is a fundraiser and community outreach event for the Chamber. The Pantex Fire Department and other volunteers spend days preparing food that is some of the most popular at the event, said Debra Halliday, B&W Pantex community outreach coordinator.
The July 2012 NNSA quarterly summary of experiments conducted as part of its science-based stockpile stewardship program is now available here.
The quarterly summary prepared by NNSA's Office of Defense Programs provides descriptions of key NNSA facilities that conduct stockpile stewardship experiments. These include some of the most sophisticated scientific research facilities in the world, including the Dual Axis Radiographic Hydrodynamic Test facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory, National Ignition Facility at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and the Z machine at Sandia National Laboratories. The summary also provides the number of experiments performed at each facility during each quarter of the fiscal year.
The U.S. Stockpile Stewardship Program is a robust program of scientific inquiry used to sustain and assess the nuclear weapons stockpile without the use of underground nuclear tests. The experiments carried out within the program are used in combination with complex computational models and NNSA's Advanced Simulation and Computing Program to assess the safety, security and effectiveness of the stockpile. An extraordinary set of science, technology and engineering facilities have been established in support of the stockpile stewardship program.
Nonproliferation and border security training just got easier. Since 1997, thousands of border enforcement, military, and law enforcement personnel from 67 countries have been trained at the Department of Energy's Volpentest HAMMER Training and Education Center in Richland, Wash. On Sept.13, a new, 17,000-square foot Field Exercise Building was dedicated there, making training even more efficient for the next generation of participants.
The new building will support the international border security and law enforcement training that Pacific Northwest National Laboratory conducts for NNSA, the Department of State, and the Department of Homeland Security. The State Department funded the $2.9 million building to train personnel to detect and interdict weapons of mass destruction. NNSA will also fund the installation of additional equipment in the building to support nuclear safeguards applications.
The new building enables all-weather training with all the equipment in one place. It's large enough to drive vehicles into, for simulating port of entry checkpoints. The new facility will significantly improve the quality of the training provided, lower the cost of training, and extend the life of the training props.
Constructing, equipping, and operating the building represents the best in government organizations partnering to share a national asset. Most importantly, participants leave with greater proficiency in preventing dangerous radioactive and nuclear materials from being transported illegally across international borders.

Thanks to research at Sandia National Laboratories, magnetically imploded tubes called liners, intended to help produce controlled nuclear fusion at scientific "break-even" energies or better within the next few years, have functioned successfully in preliminary tests.
The work, funded by Sandia's Laboratory Directed Research and Development program and NNSA, has been accepted for publication by Physical Review Letters (PRL).
To exceed scientific break-even is the most hotly sought-after goal of fusion research, in which the energy released by a fusion reaction is greater than the energy put into it — an achievement that would have extraordinary energy and defense implications.
That the liners survived their electromagnetic drubbing is a key step in stimulating further Sandia testing of a concept called MagLIF (Magnetized Liner Inertial Fusion), which will use magnetic fields and laser pre-heating in the quest for energetic fusion.
In the dry-run experiments just completed, cylindrical beryllium liners remained reasonably intact as they were imploded by huge magnetic field of Sandia's Z machine, the world's most powerful pulsed-power accelerator. Had they overly distorted, they would have proven themselves incapable of shoveling together nuclear fuel — deuterium and possibly tritium — to the point of fusing them. Sandia researchers expect to add deuterium fuel in experiments scheduled for 2013.
Read about the liners.

NNSA's Chief Technology Officer Travis Howerton, and M&O Chief Technology Officer Anil Karmel, recently participated in the VMworld 2012 conference in San Francisco. Howerton and Karmel delivered a presentation that detailed NNSA's new cloud computing solution, YOURcloud, due to roll out later this year.
YOURcloud will provide NNSA with its own cloud computing environment to manage data more securely, efficiently and effectively. During the conference, both officials shared with several hundred people how they have worked with industry partners to leverage existing marketplace solutions to engineer a result that will cater to the agency's specific needs.
In keeping with President Obama's vision for a Digital Government, the NNSA Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO) is working in partnership with the Department of Energy OCIO and other NNSA labs to modernize IT infrastructure, drive down costs and secure networks to better enable the agency's mission.
Here are some highlights from last week's presentation:
YOURcloud's service broker model: "Think travel search engine meets cloud server creation. Users will be able to input their server requirements into a dashboard tool developed specifically for NNSA, and then get options for solutions that best match their criteria sorted by price and performance. This will cut the traditional server spin up process from 30 days to 30 minutes, saving both time and money."
YOURcloud service broker enclaves: "YOURcloud will provide a secure hybrid community cloud containing service broker enclaves. This 'cloud of clouds' model allows enclaves to be partitioned to allow an organization to use one cloud, while protecting sensitive data from users who lack the credentials to access the information."
Members of NNSA Radiological Assistance Teams (RAP) attended intensive training classes this week in Albuquerque, N.M. In the exercise scenario, a vehicle deliberately crashed into the side of an NNSA Office of Secure Transportation tractor-trailer rig on Interstate-25 in Albuquerque. The training sessions are held four times a year. The training exercise involved OST federal agents, RAP team members from throughout the U.S., FBI agents, the State of New Mexico and Albuquerque law enforcement and fire officials. A team from the Argonne National laboratory Risk Communication and Management Center for Integrated Emergency Preparedness provided mock media support for the training. The training was coordinated by RAP Region 4 RAP federal team leader Kent Gray.

For the 3,600 proud Americans working at Pantex on that fateful day, the events of September, 11, 2001, can never be forgotten. The impact of the airliners crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and an open field in Pennsylvania reverberated at the nuclear weapons plant near Amarillo, Texas. The nation that Pantexans had worked to defend for more than 50 years had been attacked.
11 years later, in a ceremony outside the Pantex Fire Department, a memorial was dedicated that will ensure the memories of that terrible day will long outlive us all. Etched in marble, flanked by two quartz towers and topped with a piece of steel from the World Trade Center, the memorial to all who lost their lives in the attack has now become a permanent part of the landscape at Pantex.
"9/11 has become a day of special commemoration across our nation," said B&W Pantex General Manager John Woolery, speaking at the dedication. "Taking the time to remember the tragic events and the loss of life has been woven into the fabric of our lives, and we should never forget that day."
Pantex Fire Department Battalion Chief Donavon Morgan led the initiative to acquire the 100-pound, 42-inch steel beam that was the centerpiece of the memorial. The steel, which was sent to Pantex by the New York/New Jersey Port Authority, was placed on top of the 1,600 pound monument at the end of the ceremony Tuesday.
Mark Padilla, Assistant Manager for Programs and Projects with the NNSA Production Office (NPO), also spoke at the ceremony, capturing the emotion of Sept. 11.
"It is extremely appropriate that we place this memorial in front of the building that houses our first responders, because it serves as a symbol of our gratitude for the service they provide to this plant," Padilla said. "It also serves as a bridge between our first responders and the first responders who gave their lives on that fateful day."
The ceremony featured the Pantex Honor Guard presenting the colors and lowering them to half-staff, followed by the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance and a moment of silence for those who died. Following comments by Pantex leadership, Pantex Security Police Officer Jamie Johnson sang "America the Beautiful" before the steel was placed in the memorial. Two smaller pieces of steel in display cases were presented to Woolery and Padilla for display at B&W Pantex and NPO offices.
