Savannah River Site (SRS) Tritium Programs recently completed a project to design, build and relocate a new system for separating and capturing helium-3. This form of helium gas is primarily used in radiation detectors employed by the United States Department of Homeland Security to detect neutron activity from nuclear material.
Savannah River Nuclear Solutions, LLC, the management and operations contractor at SRS, is responsible for the recovery and management of helium-3 as one of its key missions for NNSA. The recovery system upgrade project paves the way for a larger initiative to maintain and modernize Tritium operations while reducing operational footprint and costs.
The Tritium Responsive Infrastructure Modifications initiative will leverage technology advancements, so that the large, aging and more expensive processes will move from Cold War-era facilities into newer, smaller and less expensive accommodations, thereby reducing operating expenses by $28 million annually.

Construction crews prepare to pour concrete at the new High Explosives Pressing Facility (HEPF) project at Pantex this month. Workers have performed several major concrete pours on the site and are beginning to erect the walls of the 45,000-square-foot facility.
The HEPF project, which is being managed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, is on budget and on schedule for completion in 2014. The project will combine the operations of half a dozen aging buildings into one state-of-the-art facility, greatly reducing the movement of high explosives at Pantex. Reduced movement benefits safety and also aids in production, as high explosives moves can restrict other plant operations.

In 2007, the Office of Nonproliferation and International Security (NIS) launched the Next Generation Safeguards Initiative (NGSI) to develop the policies, concepts, technologies, expertise, and infrastructure necessary to sustain the international safeguards system as its mission evolves over the next 25 years. One of the major goals of this initiative is to develop the next generation of safeguards professionals who have the qualifications and experience necessary to tackle the emerging challenges facing the nuclear safeguards regime. To meet this goal, the NGSI Human Capital Development subprogram recruits, educates, and trains students from U.S. universities for safeguards positions at the national laboratories, encourages U.S. experts to seek employment at the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), and supports young and mid-career professionals new to the safeguards field. To date, the program has sponsored more than 350 undergraduate, graduate, and post-doctoral students in internship and research positions, and provided further safeguards education across the DOE/NNSA National Laboratory complex.
A key focus for the NGSI program is to ensure that incoming staff have the technical and policy expertise necessary to contribute effectively to the international safeguards system. One former intern, Amanda Rynes, spent a summer at Idaho National Laboratory (INL) developing a metric to assess proliferation risk using political, economic, and social factors in addition to technical capability. Through NGSI, she was able to participate in intensive training sessions, tour nuclear facilities, and gain hands-on experience with many of the tools and devices used in safeguards implementation today. She commented that "the NGSI internship program gave me a solid understanding of basic safeguards issues and technologies that I wouldn't have been able to get anywhere else." Amanda, who was hired by INL following her internship, is currently on detail to the State Department's Office of Nuclear Energy, Safety, and Security. She will begin graduate studies at the University of Chicago's Committee on International Relations in the fall.
NGSI's unique challenges require the cultivation of professionals from a variety of backgrounds. Evan Wyse, a former intern at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), used his background in economics to research alternative funding strategies available to the IAEA. He will present his findings on possible funding models to supplement the IAEA's budget at the 2012 Institute for Nuclear Materials Management Annual Meeting. Evan's background in Arabic has also allowed him to participate in NIS's international engagement efforts, particularly in the Middle East. After earning his Bachelor's degree in International Studies and Economics from the University of Washington, he was hired full-time at PNNL, where he conducts economic analyses in a nonproliferation context and continues to support NIS's international engagement work.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory's National Ignition Facility (NIF) made an historic record-breaking laser shot on July 5. The NIF laser system of 192 beams delivered more than 500 trillion watts (terawatts or TW) of peak power and 1.85 megajoules (MJ) of ultraviolet laser light to its target. Five hundred terawatts is 1,000 times more power than the United States uses at any instant in time, and 1.85 megajoules of energy is about 100 times what any other laser regularly produces today.
The shot validated NIF's most challenging laser performance specifications set in the late 1990s when scientists were planning the world's most energetic laser facility. Combining extreme levels of energy and peak power on a target in the NIF is a critical requirement for achieving one of physics' grand challenges — igniting hydrogen fusion fuel in the laboratory and producing more energy than that supplied to the target.
In the historic test, NIF's 192 lasers fired within a few trillionths of a second of each other onto a 2-millimeter-diameter target. The total energy matched the amount requested by shot managers to within better than 1 percent. Additionally, the beam-to-beam uniformity was within 1 percent, making NIF not only the highest energy laser of its kind but the most precise and reproducible.

CANTON The two people who assaulted and attempted to kidnap a Massena teen in February are headed to prison after they accepted a plea deal Thursday in St. Lawrence County Court.
Patrick R. Lloyd, 25, of New York City, and Miranda M. Green, 18, of 37 Howard St., Massena, pleaded guilty to second-degree attempted kidnapping, a class C felony.
Mr. Lloyd is expected to be sentenced to eight years in prison as a second-felony offender. The plea deal will satisfy charges that are pending against him in Massena Village Court.
Ms. Green is expected to receive up to four years in prison. She will be sentenced as a youthful offender, meaning she will not have a criminal record after serving her time.
Sentencing is at 9:15 a.m. Nov. 6.
The plea deal was reached just one day after St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome J. Richards encouraged the pair to accept a plea bargain, noting they both could be looking at 15 years in prison if they were convicted. This was the first time that a plea had been introduced into the case, Mr. Lloyds attorney, Edward F. Narrow, said Thursday.
We took that back to our clients and gave them the night to think about it, Mr. Narrow said of him and Ms. Greens attorney, Peter A. Dumas. We came back to court today and asked the judge if he would be willing to give us a commitment in regards to sentence.
Mr. Lloyd and Ms. Green are accused of shoving Catherine A. Berry, 18, to the ground and punching and kicking her in the face several times on Feb. 16. In court Thursday, they admitted to stopping Ms. Berry on the street, restraining her hands and trying to force her into their vehicle before their actions drew the attention of neighbors in the Sycamore Street area where the incident took place. Ms. Berry suffered bruises and facial swelling as a result of the attack.
In addition to the attempted kidnapping charge, the two were facing charges of unlawful imprisonment and petit larceny.
Mr. Lloyd also faced a charge of second-degree attempted assault, and Ms. Green faced a charge of third-degree assault.
Uncertainty about how Ms. Berry would testify before a grand jury she accused the two of the attack, but then recanted her story in a written statement to Canton private investigator Donald J. Tracy, who had been hired by the defense had hung over the case before Thursday morning, when she was scheduled to testify.
Mr. Narrow said he and Mr. Dumas had learned that Ms. Berry was going to stick to her original complaint and testimony. It was that testimony and the testimony of witness Roxanne Erlendson that the attorneys said would make it difficult for them to win a not-guilty verdict from the jury.
Mr. Dumas said Ms. Green, who is pregnant with Mr. Lloyds child and is due to give birth in three months, will be placed in a facility where she will be able to spend a year with her child.
So this is a victory, Mr. Dumas said. And she walks out of court today without a conviction.
St. Lawrence County District Attorney Nicole M. Duve said she was pleased with the outcome of the case.
It was something that caught the attention of the Massena community in a way that not a lot of people do, Ms. Duve said. It caused a lot of upset and alarm in the community, and this outcome assured that the people who were responsible for causing that are being dealt with and being held accountable for what they did.

While the French government may have forced legalized same-sex marriage on its subjects with a final vote by the National Assembly on April 23, a strong voice among French citizens continues to be raised in aggressive opposition. France became the 14th country to redefine marriage, with the 335-221 vote in the socialist-controlled National Assembly coming a week after New Zealand voted to legalize homosexual relationships as marriage.
But the change in the traditionally liberal nation has not come without intense opposition by a broad range of both secular and religious groups, with even some homosexual organizations declaring that true marriage can exist only between a man and a woman. In January an estimated half-million French citizens took to the streets of Paris to protest the same-sex marriage plan spearheaded by Socialist President Francois Hollande. Most were demanding that French voters be allowed the final decision in the form of a national referendum.
And just days before the vote, over 50,000 protesters joined in a massive show of resistance outside the National Assembly building, demanding a referendum and chanting, "We don't want your law, Hollande." Alberic Dumon, one of the protest organizers, told Reuters News: "We warned the president back in November that we would not give up and that we would do everything to stop this law being passed, or to get it repealed if it is adopted.
Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois, the Archbishop of Paris, warned that the way the French government had forced same-sex marriage on the country without debate or input from citizens was likely to incite continued resistance and even violence. He noted that the difference between the sexes was a basic human trait and denying it by forcing the legalization of same-sex marriage would severely compromise a peaceful solution. "This is the way a violent society develops," he told a recent meeting of French bishops. "Society has lost its capacity of integration and especially its ability to blend differences in a common project."

Apple sure knows how to brand itself, spin events, and exploit great PR out of most any event. So, it is no surprise that the technology giant is said to be planning a media event for the end of January. All Things D reports that the event will not be centered around the announcement of the next generation tablet, the iPad3, which is rumored to be released in 2012. Leaving your valuable mobile devices unprotected is risky! Discover the latest innovative protection solutions... stylish top brand bags, sleeves and cases specifically designed to protect your devices from scratches and blemishes. Tough on the outside, sweet on the inside these brand name protection accessories combine complete device coverage with sleek artistic expression.
Secondary speculation may lead informed readers to think the event would be regarding prospective Apple's iTV product release also slated for 2012. Although, based in California and understanding that importance of location, it would stand to reason that the unveiling of their iTV brand would be better framed in Hollywood. However, All Things D is suggesting that the event will be one of publishing or advertising occasion and as such, will be held in New York. Enhance your mobility and turn your device into a power tool! Discover select accessories such as; stylus & pens, micro SD memory cards, batteries, docking stations, Bluetooth headsets, data cables and glider gloves all specifically designed to make your devices functionally efficient and performance rich.
As the head of many Apple media units (including the iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, iAd, and iCloud), Senior VP, Eddy Cue may be announcing the new head of its mobile advertising unit. Bound to be a great addition to continue the global love affair with iPhones and all of the smartphone's innovative accessories, the mobile ad unit is a powerful arm in promoting Apple and its more accessible smartphones, iPad line of tablets, and related accessories including earpieces & headsets and speaker accessories.
Never without a newsworthy event to keep it in the spotlight (an announcement about unlocked iPhones would be welcomed by the public), Apple also recently opened a shiny new retail store in the Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan and is keeping its Fifth Avenue presence in tiptop condition with the refurbishment of that location's flagship glass cube. Well Apple, keeps the good news rolling in!

How to Minimize the Impact of a Student's Brokerage Account on Financial Aid
Mark Kantrowitz
November 26, 2012
We have an UTMA mutual fund for our son who is a senior in high school (17 years old). It is approximately $19,000 and was intended to help pay for college costs. When we opened it we weren't aware of the impact it could have on financial aid. I realize it's too late to fix anything for his freshman year next year, but will it help him any for his sophomore year if we take it out prior to the end of this tax year? His other school money is in an educational IRA and won't ding him as much. — D.G.
Custodial bank and brokerage accounts, such as UTMA and UGMA accounts, are treated as a student asset on the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA). This has a more severe impact on eligibility for need-based financial aid than parent assets. Student assets reduce aid eligibility by 20 percent of the asset value. Some parent assets are sheltered from the need analysis formula. The remaining parent assets will reduce aid eligibility according to a bracketed scale, with a top bracket of 5.64 percent.
Parents can fix such a situation by moving the student's money into the custodial version of a 529 college savings plan. Even though a custodial 529 plan is technically the student's asset, federal law since 2009 has treated custodial 529 plan accounts as though they were a parent asset on the FAFSA. (Prepaid tuition plans and Coverdell education savings accounts are also treated as parent assets, but are more likely to be affected by contribution limits.)
Parents can also spend the student's money for the student's benefit, so long as the expenses are not normally considered parental obligations, such as food, shelter and medical care. For example, if the student will need a car or computer for college, the parent could buy it with the student's money. Parents can also spend the student's money for college costs, such as tuition and fees, room and board, and books and supplies.
Since assets are reported on the FAFSA as of the application date, parents can address the harsher treatment of student assets at any time prior to filing the FAFSA, not just before the prior tax year.
(Practically speaking, any changes in assets should occur at least a month before filing the FAFSA. During verification, college financial aid administrators may ask for copies of bank and brokerage account statements, especially if the interest and dividend income on the student's income tax return is high compared with the student assets reported on the FAFSA. Accordingly, any changes in the student's assets should occur early enough to be reflected in the most recent statements prior to filing the FAFSA.)

By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
The Carbon County Democratic central committee voted to make Jean Boyack their new chair person on Tuesday evening, after a rocky spring that had two chairs resign during and after the primary campaigns.
Bridget Dalpiaz tendered her resignation to the committee saying that she was weary of the backdoor politics and people saying things about her. The committee accepted her resignation, just as they had former chair Ed Chavez's in early June. Both were involved in controversies that created some uncomfortable situations.
In May Chavez had forwarded an email to party members that supported former county commission candidate Kyle Edwards in the primary. Some felt was a clear violation of the neutrality a party chair should have during a primary campaign.
Immediately after Chavez tendered his resignation, and Dalpiaz was elevated to the chair position, complaints started to come into central committee members that the new chairperson had signs on the lawn of her home favoring one candidate over another. This too, some members felt was a violation of the by-laws. Dalpiaz defended the signs being in her yard in an interview with the Sun Advocate at the time saying that the signs had been placed there by her landlord. She said she did not support one candidate over another.
"It is not my house and not my lawn," she told reporter John Serfustini. "I rent the house and the landlord put them there."
Later however, reports came that her landlord was her father, Mike Dalpiaz, who also has been deeply involved with the party for many years.
"To me the by-laws are very clear," said Boyack in an interview on Wednesday morning. "There were a number of things that were violated during the past few months."
Boyack had been parliamentarian for the party for many years until Chavez resigned and then she was removed from her position by Chairperson Dalpiaz right after Dalpiaz became chair.
"There were a number of questions at the time whether she should have even been able to assume that position," stated Boyack.
Besides Boyack, there were also some other changes in the leadership. Kay Colosimo is now the vice chairperson of the county party and John Watkins is the parliamentarian. State Rep. Christine Watkins will remain the secretary.
Boyack has been involved in the Democratic Party for more than 40 years.
"I used to go door to do to campaign for candidates all the time," she said. "When I started I was living in Kenilworth and the first person I campaigned for was Mike Dmitrich when he first ran for the legislature."
She was the vice chair of the party for eight years and the parliamentarian for many more during that time.
"I accepted the position of chairperson because I want to the see the party unified," she said. "I was pleasantly surprised by how many people supported me for the job"
Boyack will remain in the position until next spring when a new chair is elected at the county convention.

Utah 102, Clippers 92
Posted by Kevin Arnovitz on Wed, 12/27/06, 07:44am:
- Sloan's flex offense --- even more so than the triangle --- results in more blown rotations than any other scheme.
And here comes the Jazz, setting down screens and performing flex cuts and reverals/skip passes like they're running a clinic. Williams brings it up guarded by Shaun Livingston. Okur gives him a high screen on the left wing, and the Clippers trap with Kaman and Shaun, so Williams reverses course. With Utah, the off-ball work never ends. As Williams dribbles right - still way up top - Boozer steps out to give him a screen, allowing Williams to turn the corner. Since Boozer is over twenty feet from the basket, his man, Brand, stays down low and takes Kaman's guy [Okur] in the lane, leaving Kaman high to meet Williams as he makes that turn. Maggette comes over to double Okur off the ball, weak-side mid-post. As Williams penetrates, Brand drops low to take a diving Boozer, leaving Maggette alone on Okur, with Kaman still on the ball. [In other words, who's on Giricek?]. As Williams reaches the paint, he looks for help and finds Okur at the left elbow being covered by a much smaller Maggette. Okur curls around the circle to receive the pass. He realizes --- unlike the Clippers' entire defense and coaching staff ---- that there's no one within ten feet of Giricek. Okur finds him and Giricek hits.
The correct rotation here, I think, would be to have Shaun go out on Giricek after Williams makes that turn. Williams is dribbling into the teeth of the Clippers' interior defense, so I'm not sure what Shaun can possibly do from behind. Where there's a desperate need for a body is between Williams and Giricek. But that realization requires sharp defensive instincts, something the Clippers seem to lack.
At any rate, this is merely an instance of the smarter basketball team winning the possession.
Utah 90, Clippers 84
- After Mobley's three gets blocked, and a Livingston non-shooting foul, Williams gets it off the inbound and sets the offense. This is a weird, blink-and-you-miss-it sequence. Boozer sets a high screen for Williams. You can see Kaman watching it develop. The minute Boozer bounces off, Kaman takes a quick step to the ball side, leaving Okur momentarily open on the arc. That's all the Turk needs.
Utah 93, Clippers 84
- After a nice, uncomplicated sequence in which Maggette --- being covered [in a manner of speaking] weak-side by Giricek --- cuts to the elbow to receive the ball from Shaun and hits a driving layup, the Jazz bring it up again.
Utah 93, Clippers 86
This time, the Clippers are closely patrolling the perimeter. They cover the Boozer high screen to perfection, so Williams dribbles left and tries it with Okur. Okur has the look, but Thomas --- now in for Kaman --- closes quickly. So Williams gets it back from Okur and they try again, yet another high screen from Okur for Williams [Utah never stops working off the ball. Ever.]. Off the switch, Williams has Thomas on the mismatch, so he drives straight to the hoop, and lays it up no good.
Because Williams blows by Thomas, Brand has to meet Williams at the rim, leaving Boozer to trail for the tip-in.
Utah 95, Clippers 86
- Another Mobley miss, this one from short range. The Jazz, though they have the break, slow it up. They intend to chew some clock, but they also can't pass up a perfectly open look:
High screen for Williams from Boozer. Elton takes Boozer as he dives off the screen toward the lane. Unfortunately, Thomas [on Boozer to start the possession], doesn't realize this, because he thinks he's got Williams on the switch. Okay. So if Brand now has Boozer and Thomas thinks he's got Williams, then who's on Okur [Brand's original man]? Nobody, because Livingston --- rightly so --- is still on the ball. Error Tim Thomas.
Okur steps out and hits the wide open three.
Utah 98, Clippers 86
Clipperblog mentioned it during the write-up of the last debacle at Utah, but it warrants mentioning again that Deron Williams was the correct pick for the Jazz at PG. What does Jerry Sloan need from a point guard? Patience, decision-making, and defense. Williams has all three.
The Clippers, by and large, played a solid basketball game, but a trailing visiting team steals an NBA game with defensive execution, with stops. Phoenix, Utah, Dallas, Denver, the Lakers --- these teams show you some graduate level offenses. And the Clippers, 26th in the league in defensive efficiency, aren't going to win basketball games against any quality opponents until they learn how opposing teams space the floor.
Again, this thing that's happening...this awful stench from the garage...it's a defensive problem.

Just like the universe, we're expanding. All the time. You may recall from our big announcements back in May 2011 that we were embarking on a $50M+ expansion plan to include several new adventures including: Stone Farms, Stone Catering, Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens – Liberty Station, and arguably the coolest of all, the Stone Hotel. While some of those super sweet items have already been completed and others (like the Liberty Station restaurant and hotel) have been slightly delayed, we're very excited to announce that ground has officially been broken on the brand new Stone Packaging Hall!
So what does that mean for you? Simple: MORE BEER. You see, we've been working 'round the clock to get our new 120bbl brewhouse installed next to our current one, but it's displaced quite a few fermentation tanks. The bottom line? We're running out of room!

A message from Larry Bell in response to recent events and a proposal by Enbridge Inc.
The following is a message from Larry Bell, president of Bell's Brewery, Inc., in response to recent events along the shore of Morrow Lake in Kalamazoo County, Michigan, and the proposal by Enbridge Inc. to construct a pollution processing facility within several hundred feet of the company's brewery.
"Bell's Brewery, Inc., has been operating in Comstock Township for 12 years, and we are proud to call Comstock our home. As Michigan's oldest and largest brewery, Bell's has a longstanding commitment to quality. While Bell's uses water from the municipal water system to brew our beer, the pristine cleanliness of the water and air around our brewery and neighbors is of the utmost importance to us.
"Bell's Brewery owns properties on both sides of Morrow Lake, so we have watched with concern the news of the Enbridge pipeline spill and resulting damage to the Kalamazoo River basin. As events unfolded over the last few years, we have noted the efforts of all involved to clean up the spill and repair the environment. We have applauded those efforts.
"However, the process by which the cleanup of Morrow Lake is accomplished must be 100- percent transparent. We share the concerns of our neighbors that decisions regarding recent activities may not have fully involved the residents or businesses located near the Enbridge site, so we thank the Township of Comstock for giving us the opportunity to address these concerns with Enbridge.
"Bells Brewery will continue to be in direct contact with local officials, and with state and federal environmental personnel, regarding Enbridge's activities in and around Morrow Lake. Our focus will continue to be the best interests of our company, our employees, our customers, and our neighbors."
We're heading to the Electric Forest Festival in Rothbury, here is where you will find Bell's
We're heading to Electric Forest again this year and hosting two special tastings.
The first is with Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident and will feature guest brewers and musicians along with beer samples. It will be on Friday (June 28) at 3:45 p.m. at the Obervatory Bar (look for Brewru on your map/schedule).
The second event will be on Saturday at the Forest Stage Bar. Debs' Red and Wedding Ale will be on tap from 2:30 p.m. until 3:30 p.m.
We're also hosting a scavenger hunt on Twitter. All you have to do to participate is tweet us 1 photo of something #eccentric, #green (the sustainable type) or #bells related (don't forget to mention us so we can see it) at the festival. Then come to Saturdays tasting to claim your free schwag. (You must claim your prize during the tasting and only one piece of schwag per person).
If that wasn't enough, Oberon and Two Hearted will also be available at every bar at the festival.
See you in the Forest – Cheers!

BALTIMORE, Md. (WUSA) - A major ruling from Maryland's Pepco and BGE regulator means customers will no longer see bills for the time they're disconnected during outages.
Maryland's Governor, State Sen. Brian Frosh, Montgomery Council Councilmember Hans Riemer, Montgomery County consumer officials and angry consumers called on the Maryland Public Service Commission to review the billings shortly after 9 Wants To Know exposed the fees this summer.
The rule allowing the billing was called the Bill Stabilization Adjustment.
"The Public Service Commission considered it to be an unfair burden toratepayers," said Montgomery County Office of Consumer Protection Director Eric Friedman about the ruling's meaning. "Montgomery County won the Bill Stabilization Adjustment (BSA)case."
When 9 Wants to Know began its inquiry, no one at the Public Service Commission, BGE, or Pepco could even explain how customers could be charged a service fee when they were receiving no service at all.
Shortly after 9 Wants to Know exposed the fees, the story gained traction on the Internet and with national media.
Even Russian television used clips of the 9 Wants to Know segment to poke fun at American capitalism.
Two separate Commission orders issued Friday revise the BSAs for Baltimore Gas and Electric Company, Delmarva Power and Light Company, PEPCO and the Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative.
The question arose in the aftermath of the June 29 derecho storm, which caused extensive property damage and lost power for more than a million Maryland citizens. In the aftermath, customers complained about the BSA, which adjusts rates up or down, either allowing companies to collect shortages or crediting customers.
The Commission had revised the BSAs in January to exclude most storm-related outages from the BSA calculations, but went a step further Friday, excluding from the BSAs all sales lost after major outage events, including the first 24 hours.
The updated BSAs will preclude the companies from including any sales lost from the beginning of a major outage event until full restoration.

Don't flinch Ducks best in red zone defense
EUGENE, OR - Following the win over Arizona State on Saturday, head coach Chip Kelly said the one thing he loves about his players is that they don't flinch when something goes wrong. When asked why they don't flinch in games, the player had a different reasons as to why they have that don't blink mentality.
"I think we have so much trust within our group, within our unit," said red-shirt freshman quarterback Marcus Mariota. "No matter what goes wrong or what happens, we understand that we're good together and we've just got to move on to the next play."
Senior linebacker Michael Clay credited the coaching staff for the team's mental toughness.
"Our coaches don't flinch," said Clay. "It's water off our back. Big plays are going to happen in college football. You can't dwell on that. You've got to play the next play. It's water off our back and (we) keep going."
Junior safety Avery Patterson thinks it stems from the team's preparation.
"If something bad happens in practice, we just move on to the next play," said Patterson. "If something bad happens anywhere, we just get on to the next play and just keep moving."
Falling in line with that don't blink mentality, Oregon ranks first in the nation in red zone defense. In 29 appearances in the red zone, opponents have scored just 15 times (9 touchdowns and 6 field goals). The Ducks have also forced four turnovers in the red zone.

text: A bus picks up students going to school in north Price earlier this week. While buses are a common sight on the roads of Carbon County, the beginning of school denotes a time for motorists to be particularly cautious about those yellow vehicles coming to a stop. When a bus stops with it's lights flashing on a non-divided highway, motorists from both directions should stop until the flashing lights are turned off by the operator. Safety at bus stops should be everyones goal and is everyone's responsibility.
