Ofgem seems to have go itself into a panic about energy supplies and costs yet again, coincidently just as secret government negotiations with EDF reach a most sensitive stage.
But the reality is that the negotiations with EDF are for electricity generation starting in 10 to 15 years (rather than the 3 to 5 years that Ofgem is worried about), so third generation Nuclear is effectively competing with renewable and nuclear technologies of the future more than existing technologies. The forty year subsidy deals now being mooted could still be operational in 2065.
"Never in the field of energy distribution, have so few, secretly conspired, to make so many pay so much, for so long."
Now it is becoming clear that EDF want a better deal from the taxpayer and bill payer combined than a nationalised industry could get; they want guaranteed profits, where as failing nationalised industries were allowed to make losses (even if tax payers were later expected to write them off).
So what are the opportunities lost and long term consequences of going for third generation new nuclear at any cost now? And are these costs worth paying just to keep a small elite group of civil servants, lords, university professors and financially interested parties happy?
I would like the government to have the patience to wait until EDF/Areva actually gets a European sited EPR up and running before committing seriously stupid money to build one in the UK. In the mean time we can build some more gas power stations now and collectively fund some research into fourth generation nuclear technologies, like molten salt reactors. Simple.

Germany has produced a world record 22 gigwatts per hour from it's solar power stations. Where's the problem?
The problem is Britain - it's no longer progressive in any shape or form.
21 February 2013 08:48 AM
There are a number of problems facing any new nuclear power installation:
1) Political will and investment. It is much easier to drip feed subsidies into solar and wind generation than to make a real decision to make a large, long term investment.
2) Over regulation and political interference. Continually changing regulatory goalposts guarantee time and cost overruns. The risk of a 'green' forced shutdown as in Germany will mean that any private investor would require a substantial government guarantee that their 60 year investment will not be shut down after 10 years.
3) A very vocal anti-nuclear group that will use any form of lies and misinformation to further their cause.
4) Unrealistic dose limits, both in normal operation and in accident planning.
These will apply to any new design as well as the current generation.

Then again, nobody would touch nuclear with a bargepole without "political interference".
1. The plants are extremely expensive to build, and take years to complete.
2. There is no guarantee that the market price of electricity will exceed your generating costs for the life of the plant.
3. The plants are extremely expensive to decommission.
4. The potential civil liabilities if something did go wrong would be enormous.
Would you want to put your life savings into a nuclear power station without government guarantees to protect your investment? You would be taking a massive risk for an unknown reward.

Was it a lie when the very nice pro-nuclear man told us, "Nuclear Power will soon be too cheap to meter"?
**Nuclear Subsidies**
RWE npower, one of the big six power suppliers, has warned ministers
not to seal a long-term subsidy deal with the nuclear industry behind
the backs of consumers and saddle them with "unnecessarily high bills"
for the next 40 years. The warning from Paul Massara, RWE UK's new
chief executive, comes as the Guardian can reveal that up to 15
private sector executives with links to the atomic sector have been
seconded to government departments or other public sector roles. A
Freedom of Information request undertaken by the campaign group,
NuclearSpin.org, showed at least 15 people working for the nuclear
energy industry or its consultants have been seconded to areas
responsible for policy or regulation, some being paid for by the

"3) A very vocal anti-nuclear group that will use any form of lies and misinformation to further their cause."
Was your quote in the Japan Earthquake thread true then?
"When I say huge discharges of radioactivity into the sea I mean 8 million litres a day. This is from greenpeace international:
Sellafield is a nuclear complex situated on the coast of north-west England. Originally named Windscale with the purpose of producing plutonium for the British nuclear weapons program, it is now predominantly a commercial site with reprocessing facilities, fuel fabrication and other installations. It has one of the highest concentrations of radioactive waste on the planet, a disastrous safety record with hundreds of accidents involving the release of radioactive substances into the environment and their radiation of workers.
The reprocessing plants at Sellafield discharge some 8 million litres of nuclear waste into the sea each day. The Irish Sea is one of the most radioactively contaminated seas in the world. In the vicinity of the complex, groundwater, estuaries and soil are contaminated, with levels in the area around Sellafield exceeding contamination inside the Chernobyl exclusion zone. Compared to the British average, there has been a ten-fold increase of childhood leukaemia around Sellafield. Plutonium dust has been found in the houses of residents living along the Irish Sea coast."

What is wrong with the Greenpeace International statement?
This is from Rob Edwards. He is the environment editor of the Sunday Herald in Scotland and the co-author of three books on nuclear power.
comment, 01 June 2006
The recent death of veteran radiation scientist, John Dunster, has prompted some kind obituaries from his professional colleagues, including one in yesterday's Times. Yet none of them have mentioned what made him most famous - or infamous - in the wider world.
In 1958, Dunster was head of health and safety at the Windscale nuclear plant in Cumbria, now called Sellafield. He gave a talk at a United Nations conference in Geneva about the vast amounts of radioactive waste that the plant had pumped down a pipeline into the Irish Sea over the previous six years.
"The sea has always been regarded by coastal and seafaring peoples as the ideal place for dumping their waste and this is, of course, a very reasonable and proper attitude," he said.
"Almost everything put into the sea is either diluted...or broken down...or stored harmlessly on the seabed. Most of the objects which ultimately do find their way to the shore are harmless and a considerable source of pleasure to children."
Dunster's frankness about Windscale's motives for polluting the sea was disarming. "Not the least of the attractions of the sea as a dumping ground has been the lack of administrative controls," he stated.
"The intention has been to discharge fairly substantial amounts of radioactivity as part of an organised and deliberate scientific experiment...the aims of this experiment would have been defeated if the level of radioactivity discharged had been kept to a minimum."
These remarks, quoted and requoted over the decades to illustrate the unthinking irresponsibility of the nuclear industry in the 1950s, came to haunt Dunster, though he always said they were taken out of context. But they weren't a product of the man, particularly, more of the time.
Windscale has discharged far more radioactive pollution in the sea than any other nuclear plant, and its distinct isotopic signal can be detected in oceans across the globe. The plutonium it has deposited in the silt at the bottom of the Irish Sea is gradually coming ashore, and will keep doing so for decades. The "deliberate scientific experiment", in other words, is not over. And we are all still the guinea pigs.
The cost of cleaning up Sellafield has now reached £67.5 Billion. Public Accounts Committee report Feb.2013.
The taxpayer is still paying for the nuclear power that was generated in the 1970s because we still have the nuclear waste from that time to deal with.
Not long ago this coalition government said there would be no subsides for new build nuclear power.
**Nuclear Subsidies**
EDF Energy's £14 billion reactor project in Somerset faces further
delays of at least two years for the European Commission to consider
if the French state-backed company is being granted illegal state aid
by Britain, a UK rival warned yesterday. EDF is demanding generous
subsidies, funded by levies on British consumers' bills, as well as
loan guarantees from the Government to build the UK's first nuclear
reactor for decades at Hinkley Point. Ministers had assumed that
Brussels would quickly rubber-stamp any deal to allow the company to
start construction. But SSE claimed that EDF Energy's proliferating
demands for Government financial support will force the EC to
deliberate until 2015 at the earliest. The commission's decision would
be under threat of a judicial review, which would take years to
complete. SSE said "It seems unlikely that a final decision will be
made on state aid approval for nuclear subsidy under electricity
market reforms before 2015 at the earliest, and potentially much
later. This is why gambling our energy and capacity future on nuclear
is a high-risk strategy."

Re : >> "Was it a lie when the very nice pro-nuclear man told us, 'Nuclear Power will soon be too cheap to meter'?"
- Classic example of an out-of-context quote. That quote was by a politician (more exactly, a senior civil servant speaking for the government) who was a noted enthusiant for nuclear fusion. He was talking about nuclear fusion, not fission, and in the same speech he said we would have colonies under the deep oceans and on the moon, that there will be no famine anywhere, and that we would be able to travel effortlessly under the sea and through the air at great speeds. He also forecast huge increases in human lifespan. The talk was surely set in the future.
Worth noting that Strauss had no academic or professional background that would qualify him as an expert in nuclear energy. He was addressing the science writers as a government official, and was not a spokesman for the nuclear, or any other, industry. The sort of utopian hyperbole reflected in the above quote is what you might expect in a talk delivered to that audience in the era of scientific and technological hubris of that time, just after the second world wr.
26 February 2013 11:34 PM
Lewis L. Strauss, chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission, recently said:
"It is not too much to expect that our children will enjoy in their homes electrical energy too cheap to meter; will know of great periodic regional famines in the world only as matters of history; will travel effortlessly over the seas and under them and through the air with a minimum of danger and at great speeds, and will experience a lifespan far longer than ours, as disease yields and man comes to understand what causes him to age. This is the forecast of an age of peace."
[New York Times, August 7, 1955]
Lewis Lichtenstein Strauss was the chairman of the US Atomic Energy Commission (forerunner of the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the US Department of Energy nuclear program) from 1953 to 1958. The New York Times reported, on September 17, 1954, that Strauss "predicted ... that industry would have electrical power from atomic furnaces in five to fifteen years." Strauss was right - this came true in 1957, with the start-up of America's first civilian power reactor at Shippingport, Pennsylvania.
Point taken Paul. However he was chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission and he was very keen on building atomic furnaces.
I would say he was a very nice pro-nuclear man.

I have been trying to think what is the system of governance which allows new nuclear to be built at any cost, using a large array of implicit and explicit subsidies and concessions.
Is it communism? No definitely not, no shared ownership.
Is it socialism? No, no government ownership and management on our behalf.
Is it free market capitalism? No definitely not, no private sector competition
I have come to the conclusion that none of these political-economic systems are relevant to the analysis of the current new build nuclear case. The closest historic analogy to the current state of affairs in regards to new nuclear at the moment is feudalism.
The government are acting as the ultimate feudal landlord, providing secretly negociated concessions to their favoured friends, all paid for by compulsory levy's on peoples income and expenditure.
So depending on how you see things its either 'welcome back to the middle ages' or a 'welcome to the new age of gangmaster government'

20 March 2013 11:13 AM
Bridget Woodman: On the day the Government gave the go-ahead for
construction of the nuclear power plant at Hinkley Point C, it is
worth reflecting on a number of key issues around its new framework
for financial support for nuclear power, renewables and carbon capture
and storage (CCS), a Contract for Difference (CfD), and in particular
what it implies for consumers' energy bills in the future. Not only is
the strike price double the current market price for electricity, it
is also significantly above the estimated cost of electricity from the
same reactor in France, and 25 per cent above DECC's original cost
estimate for power. Hardly value for money for consumers. One reason
for such a high strike price may be that EDF is reportedly demanding a
10 per cent rate of return on its investment. By way of contrast, it
is interesting to compare this with DECC's views of the rate of return
guaranteed under the Feed In Tariff (FiT) for small scale solar PV.
When DECC was challenged over the reduction in the FiT it stated, "we
continue to consider that a significantly lower tariff is needed to
provide generators with a rate of return of 4.5 per cent to five per
cent for well located installations. What is particularly alarming
about the nuclear deal, is even if it is completed to time and budget
(which has not occurred with similar projects in Finland and France),
it will lock in a generation of electricity consumers to higher energy
bills for decades into the future, while once again treating newer,
cleaner renewable technologies as the poor relation in the electricity

The plant has not yet got the go-ahead. It is not yet financed, and that depends on negotiations between the governance and EDF. Indeed, the agreement needed should require the EMR legislation to be in place, but even that has been subverted. And even that does not ensure it will be built, as other investors still have to be satisfied that their mouths will be stuffed with enough gold.
What the planning approval does show is that the government has succeeded in shutting down debate by subverting the planning processes to deny formal presentation of evidence against nuclear, its safety, its costs, and its consequences. It is now all done behind closed doors.

I was trying to imagine the other day how the world would have developed if the government in the eighteenth century had adopted the Newcomen steam engine as its chosen steam technology of the future and showered it with subsidies, dedicated infrastructure to it and funded all its waste disposal needs. Then on top of this actively helped the newly created 'Newcomen Industry' in blocking new technological developments like James Watt's Steam Engine etc.
What would the atmospheric polution be like now? How would science have developed in terms of understanding energy?
Obviously this is directed in terms of creating a metaphor for exposing the lunacy of what the civil service nuclear fanatics are trying to achieve behind the scenes now, in trying to keep third generation nuclear technologies alive at any cost. (including non-financial costs)
I really seriously believe that the government should get themselves out of the way now and let engineers (and their private sector backers) set out competing visions for what they want to do and how they want the world to function in the future in terms of energy. At first people will laugh at these 'new' engineering solutions, but then they will quickly come to realise that giving up without trying new ideas is no real option either.
Engineering is about having cost effective ideas that eventually prove better than those of the past, and then getting independent people to believe and invest in those ideas (even if initially they think you are mad).
The flight of the phoenix comes to mind when they find out that the 'aeronautical engineer' whose vision for the future they believed in was just a designer of 'toy' aeroplanes.
Actually he built scale model aeroplanes and as it happens there is a world of difference between a scale model and a toy.
Nuclear Engineers should not aspire to my Newcomen metaphor and continue to help build an industry that colludes with government to drown out competing ideas inspite of all the difficulties we face with the existing technologies, in terms of cost, waste and the terrible consquences of major disasters.

I don't want to detract from the rest of your post, which is fine, but I'm not convinced that nuclear power has quite the scale of terrible consequences that you suggest, and believe that this link which was posted by someone else in another 'nuclear safety' type thread some time ago is relevant;
Deaths per TWh by energy source
This shows that deaths per TWh attributable to nuclear power generation are miniscule compared to other forms of energy production.
I'm quite happy for costs / subsidies etc to be debated, but don't believe that safety is a valid argument against nuclear power, and I often wonder if there had never been any nuclear weapons would people still be so paranoid about nuclear power. Why do people panic at the thought of nuclear radiation but start typing into Google (if they can be bothered) when they hear 'methyl isocyanate', and have no idea what happened at the Banqiao Dam? If 300 people die at sea, or 200 in an air crash why is that perceived as less of a disaster and less newsworthy than a nuclear power station meltdown?
One more thing that perhaps does relate more to your post; What would the world be like now if all other forms of energy production had the same levels of safety requirements placed on them? What if there was originally a requirement for coal air pollution consequences to be equal or less than the consequences of radioactive pollution, would we have coal fired power stations now?
"The World Health Organization and other sources attribute about 1 million deaths/year to coal air pollution. Coal generates about 6200 TWh out of the world total of 15500 TWh of electricity. This would be 161 deaths per TWh."

Even if you limit your study to the economic consequences of Nuclear Reactor Meltdowns, here is a economic costing for accident at Sizewell B for example.
1. Nuclear Power Station Generating Asset Lost 1.2GW (at £40 per MWh and 80% utilisation that is £330 million a year income stream lost for good. For the generator to purchase replacement power to meet its contractual obligations is going to be a lot more than this. They will quicky be haemorrhaging cash even with generous state backed insurance subsidies to cover most of the claims against them.
2. Evacuation zone. Housing Assets now valueless. Surrounding Farmland no longer can be used because of contamination, substantial on going income streams lost for decades. Substantial one off costs for relocating people and businesses.
2. Where economic activity is allowed to continue clean up costs and economic restrictions may apply. You can debate with me the extent to which we need to clean things up. However the last restrictions on animal movements following the Chernobyl dissaster were only lifted last year (26 years after the event)
I have seen no analyses to show that the FSA acted irrationally on this. All these restrictions have economic consequences that can last for generations.
3. European Trade Restrictions In farm produced food.
I could go on but we've discussed all this many times before.
Even if no one dies the consequences for the economic health of the UK are indeed terrible (distressingly bad or serious).
I think finding new ways of building nuclear power stations so that they do not fail catastrophically when they lose power for extended periods is an engineering task that has for too long now been neglected.
James Arathoon

22 March 2013 05:10 PM
Many of those restrictions are based on limits in relation to radiation that are not applied to other forms of energy or manufacturing processes on equivalent terms. We have little idea of the consequences had those restrictions on animal movements never been applied, perhaps it would have led to the early deaths of a number of people, but would that be on a similar scale to the WHO estimate of 1 million per year from coal air pollution?
If for example we applied similar restrictions to coal air pollution such that it did not affect animals and humans, applied restrictions on animal movement in areas affected by coal air pollution, and enforced limits on 'leakage' from coal fired power stations such that the number of deaths attributable to coal energy production was of the same scale as that attributable to nuclear energy production, then coal fired power stations would probably not exist or would be horrendously expensive to construct.
I would also argue that if someone had developed a weapon of mass destruction 60 years ago that used coal as its prime element, then people would be just as paranoid about coal fired power stations as they are about nuclear power stations. I still don't see how we can brush off 1 million per year deaths attributable to coal air pollution yet at the same time still argue that nuclear power is an evil monster because of what happened at Chernobyl nearly 27 years ago. The estimated number of deaths per year in the USA attributable to coal air pollution is 30,000 and that is not newsworthy, if that same number could be attributed to nuclear energy production then it would be in the news for weeks or months.

However the last restrictions on animal movements following the Chernobyl dissaster were only lifted last year (26 years after the event)
But it did not stop life going on and in some areas doing very well during those 26 years. What exactly do you want, some fluffy cotton wool type world without any risks? Remind me again how many people died through Chernobyl and how many have died in Iraq in the last 10 years and on the road in the last 26 years and in Syria and in etc., etc. Try to keep a sense of proportion with regards to the risks in life.
Are you and your family poor and starving and if not then what is the big economic issue? You suggest economic consequences as if they are a negative, how exactly do you know what economic benefits will arise in the years during which nuclear power provides its power? Your argument is biased towards cherry picking negatives and without considering also the potential positives.
How do you know, are you able to see into the future?
How do you know it has been neglected, have you evidence to show that engineers have not been working on it? Has there been some catastropic failure somewhere that has claimed 10s of 1000s of lives? If not and we have a limited amount of resource do you think we should allocate resources to where the higher risks are or do you think we should just spend it all as you think best? Politicians have to make those types of decisions, basically because they decided to run for political office and so take on those challenges.

Over the years pollution due to burning coal and other fuels has been reduced in th UK. Hopefully in the future pollution levels from cars will be reduced as well, particularly in large cities. I don't think there is an argument for releasing extra radioactivity, just because we have been seriously negligent in the past in controlling other forms of chemical pollution.
Comparing effects due to radioactivity release with other forms of pollution is difficult. Illness profiles and the nature of disablement during life must be taken into account; as well as premature work related and wider population death rates. Age profiles of those affected must also be taken into consideration.
One of the problems is that children especially unborn children suffer disproportionately to radioactivity induced illness compared with other age groups (especially in regards to thyroid problems).
If you are old enough not to want to procreate then living with mildly elevated levels of radioactivity isn't going to be much of a worry. For people with young children or about to have children it becomes a bigger concern.

Age profiles of those affected must also be taken into consideration.
Then it can be reasonably argued that nuclear power related deaths and illness are not significant, because if they were it would be easier to compare the effects due to radioactivity release.
It is always unfortunate when a young person has a serious illness! 260,000 children die every year due to road crashes and about 10 million are injured. Drowning kills 175,000 each year. 47,000 fall to their death and another 45,000 die through unintended poisoning. Let's work to make nulcear power safer and more cost efficient but let's also understand that living life has significant risks associated with it.
This is a fair point but if these risks are compared with all the others which will be faced then from a risk point of view nuclear power compares favourably. However should we have it at any cost? Definitely not at any cost.

New Nuclear at any cost now, anyone?

Posted by john on Thu, 12/14/06, 10:40am:
Let us not dwell on Dunleavy's monster extension announced before tip-off last night. Let us not fantasize about the varying trade scenarios that would bring AI to Staples in a Clippers uniform. (If Billy King is retarded enough to give us AI for Maggette / Cassell, I don't see how we don't pull the trigger.)
Let us, instead, discuss, how, it is possible, that we are underachieving so much as a team. And if, in reality, we are underachieving.
The Jazz and Clippers are a study in contrast – a team with a coherent, sophisticated offensive scheme vs. utter chaos (I'm not going to focus on the defensive end, we had lapses last night, notably Livingston, let's just note that we're one of the better defensive teams in the League and move on.)
If you look at offensive numbers last year vs. this year-to-date, what's unfolding is the exposure of the Clippers as a mediocre offensive team that no longer has the explosive 1-2 punch to cover up the glaring inadequacies of a simplistic offensive gameplan.
- People – Elton Brand has come back down to earth and last year is looking more and more like the aberrant "career year" for him. His current projected 06/07 vs. 05/06 will see a 14% drop off in points / 40 minutes, and a resultant PER drop off that takes him out of the Top 5 in the League, to the bottom of the Top 25. Elton is still a 20 / 10 / 50% FG guy… which is exactly what he's been his whole career save last season.
- Cassell's stats are a little misleading, because he's put up some huge games (notably Denver and recent @ Minny) to offset his typical 06/07 performance. Including these games, he's currently on track to outperform last season in PER measurement. But if you look at his more recent performance since the Minny outburst, it's a 10-game stretch with a 23% drop-off in points / 40 minutes, and a dramatic PER fall-off with a noticeable drop in assists. Yes, we're enduring the rough transition period (Cassell to Livingston), but until Livingston fully takes over the reigns, Cassell is still critical to our success.
This isn't rocket science folks, and as much as it feels like we're underachieving, based on the "offensive philosophy" of Dunleavy (run everything through Brand / Cassell, everyone else fills in) – we are a .500 team at best when Brand and Cassell are performing at their current 06/07 levels.
What this dictates is a change in philosophy to better maximize the talent we have on the floor. Dunleavy has of late incorporated the low-screen for TT (something reserved for Cat and Maggette) – but why not for Brand? He's not the same player he was last year – simply feeding him in the post and "letting him do his thing" is not working. As currently constituted, if we're to be better than a .500 team in the West, we *need* Brand to be the force he was last year - let's make it easier for him to get to that level of play.
From fellow Clipperblogger, Dave Han:
"So here's one for you guys. I mentioned to John tonight that they NEVER run a low screen for EB. EB gets a small moment to catch the ball in the low post with the defender trying to catch up. It's just enough time for him to turn and take it strong to the basket, or FUJ (face up jumper?). Instead, we only see the low screen for TT or Cat, etc. etc.
To this, John replied that MikeD just likes to look for the mismatches and force the double team. For EB, they only run a high S-R or give it to him at the elbow to create his own shot.
Hmmm... Power Forward + EB = Low Post"
It is hopefully apparent to Dunleavy, as it is to Clipper Nation, that he needs to make adjustments due to differences from last season. Despite the same personnel, we are not the same team we were last year, and it starts with Brand and Cassell.

This week we're taking a look at what Xerox has dreamt up with the help of Microsoft Tag. They have created a printer that is capable of so much more than just your everyday printing projects. Xerox realized that customers were not using their product to its full advantage and decided to do something about it.
This is where Tag comes in. Xerox created Tags to show off just how advanced their technology really is. Customers who scan the Tag are provided with information about Xerox technology and the true capabilities of their products in a way that assists the decision making process where it counts, at the point of sale. With a quick scan of their Tag, consumers can save time by learning all they need to know about a product at the store and thus make better, more informed decisions about their purchase of a Xerox printer.
This effort to better inform Xerox customers was launched worldwide on June 1st this year and it's really hit the ground running in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. Xerox is extremely interested in doing PR around this initiative since it has been implemented so successfully.
What are some other ways Tag can be used to better inform purchase decisions? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

CANTON St. Lawrence County leaders are working on a model resolution to have the state Legislature pass an ag exemption that would reward people for reclaiming farmland.
We have a lot of land that is under-utilized. The whole purpose of the resolution is to bring attention to the fact that we have land, said Robert G. Andrews, chairman of the county Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board and of the county Soil & Water Conservation District. The demand for food is growing constantly. This is an opportunity for St. Lawrence County to do something about that.
Climate change is already having an impact on north country agriculture, with more grapes grown along with different grains and soybeans. The hops industry could return given the right circumstances, Mr. Andrews told legislators at a committee meeting Monday.
We are seeing weather change. Global warming is going to affect St. Lawrence County in a positive way, he said. We have to make people aware of these opportunities and maybe give them a little incentive.
Of the countys 1.7 million acres, 347,000 acres are used for farmland, Legislator Frederick S. Morrill, D-DeKalb Junction, said. Thats down from five years ago, when 403,000 acres were in production.
The county ranks highest in the state for unused land, Mr. Andrews said.
Its worth the venture, he said.
While the county is not known for prime farmland at 18 percent of its total acreage compared to a statewide average of 22 percent prime farmland, and much higher percentages in the Midwest, agriculture is a mainstay of the countys economy, Mr. Morrill said.
We have this obligation to do everything we can to encourage farming in St. Lawrence County, he said. That is wealth generation.
Agricultural leaders envision the proposed ag exemption for clearing scrub land and putting in improvements, such as drainage, so it can be tilled for crop production as a type of payment-in-lieu-of-taxes program that would gradually return the property to the tax rolls.
Any exemption would have to come from New York state, county Real Property Director Darren W. Colton said.
This is just an idea at the moment, he said. There will be a lot of debate at the state level.
The proposed resolution could be beneficial to many of his constituents, Legislator Anthony J. Arquiett, D-Helena, said.
Theres a lot of land going to brush every day, he said. I think tonights a good night to start the discussion.
Legislators tabled the resolution for modifications but expect to consider it again in a month. They plan to involve state Senator Patty A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, and Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, in the discussion.

Deep brain stimulation involves implanting electrodes within certain areas of your brain. These electrodes produce electrical impulses that regulate abnormal impulses. Or, the electrical impulses can affect certain cells and chemicals within the brain. The amount of stimulation in deep brain stimulation is controlled by a pacemaker-like device placed under the skin in your upper chest. A wire that travels under your skin connects this device to the electrodes in your brain.
Deep brain stimulation is used to treat a number of neurological conditions, such as:
Deep brain stimulation is also being studied as a treatment for epilepsy, cluster headaches, Tourette syndrome, chronic pain and major depression. Many candidates for deep brain stimulation are participants in clinical trials.
Deep brain stimulation is an established treatment for movement disorders, such as essential tremor, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia, and more recently, obsessive-compulsive disorder. This treatment is usually reserved for people who aren't able to get control of their symptoms with medications.
Although deep brain stimulation is generally safe, any type of surgery has the risk of complications. Also, the brain stimulation itself may cause side effects.
Deep brain stimulation involves boring small holes in the skull to implant the electrodes, and surgery to implant the device that contains the batteries under the skin in the chest. Complications of surgery may include:
With deep brain stimulation, surgery isn't a one-time procedure. The batteries that are implanted in the chest have a limited life span, and when they run out, your symptoms may quickly return. Replacing the batteries requires another surgery. It's also possible for a wire connecting the batteries to an electrode to break or for other malfunctions to occur.
Side effects associated with deep brain stimulation may include:
A few weeks after the surgery, the device will be turned on and the process of finding the best settings for you begins. This process may take several months. Some settings may cause side effects, but these often improve with further adjustments of your device.
Deep brain stimulation is a serious and potentially risky procedure. Even if you might be eligible for deep brain stimulation, you and your doctors must carefully weigh the risks and potential benefits of the procedure.
Before surgery, you need to have medical tests to make sure that deep brain stimulation is safe for you and is a good option in your case. You also need brain-imaging studies, such as an MRI, before the surgery, to map the areas of your brain where the electrodes will be implanted.
In general, here's how surgery for deep brain stimulation works.
Brain surgery. For the brain surgery portion, your care team fits you with a special head frame to keep your head still during the procedure (stereotactic head frame). Then, they use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to map your brain and identify the area in your brain where they'll place the electrodes. You'll be given a local anesthetic to numb your scalp before surgery. You won't need an anesthetic in your brain itself because the brain has no pain receptors.
Your surgeon implants a thin wire lead with four contacts (electrodes) at the tips into a specific area of your brain. A wire runs under your skin to a generator (neurostimulator) implanted near your collarbone.
You'll remain awake and alert during the procedure so that your neurologist can talk to you to make sure the right areas of your brain are being stimulated. Your responses help your health care team place the lead in the correct place while minimizing side effects. During surgery, both the neurologist and surgeon carefully monitor your brain to help ensure correct electrode placement.
After surgery, you'll need to take antibiotics to lower the risk of infection. A few weeks after surgery, the pulse generator in your chest is activated in your doctor's office. The doctor can be easily program your pulse generator from outside your body using a special remote control. The amount of stimulation is customized to your condition.
Stimulation may be constant, 24 hours a day, or your doctor may advise you to turn your pulse generator off at night and back on in the morning, depending on your condition. You can turn stimulation on and off with a special remote control that you'll take home with you. In some cases, your doctor may program the pulse generator to let you make minor adjustments at home.
The battery life of your generator varies with usage and settings. The battery may last between three and five years. When the battery needs to be replaced, your surgeon will replace the generator during an outpatient procedure.
You must remain in close contact with your surgeon and neurologist to make sure that the pulse generator is working correctly.
Deep brain stimulation won't cure your disease, but it may help lessen your symptoms. If deep brain stimulation works, your symptoms will improve significantly, but they usually don't go away completely. In some cases, medications may still be needed for certain conditions. Deep brain stimulation isn't successful for everyone. There are a number of variables involved in the success of deep brain stimulation. It's important to talk with your doctor before surgery about what type of improvement you can expect for your condition.

Dark_AleX has just shared with us a new version of his custom firmware for the PSP. It comes with a whole range of changes including the ability for AVC videos bitrate limit to be patched, boot speed is faster, XMB speed can be changed, WiFi works at 333 MHz, and a whole lot more detailed below!
Download: http://www.ps4news.com/forums/attach...achmentid=8926
This is the 3.03 OE-C update. It can be only installed as a full installation, due to some substantial changes in the bootstrap. Both, update maker and the flasher work in 1.50, 2.71 SE (whatever version), and 3.02/3.03 OE (whatever version)
The instructions are as always:
- Copy oeupdmaker and oeupdmaker% to /PSP/GAME if you are in 1.50, or to /PSP/GAME150 if you are in
2.71 SE, 3.02 OE or 3.03 OE. Copy also the 1.50 and 3.03 updaters with the names 150.PBP and 303.PBP.
- Execute the update maker. It will generate the dxar file.
Checksums of the generated file:
- Copy 303oeflasher and 303oeflasher% to /PSP/GAME (1.50) or to /PSP/GAME150 (2.71 SE, 3.0X OE).
Copy also the dxar file inside 303oeflasher.
- Execute the flasher and follow the instructions.
Changes in OE-C:
- AVC videos bitrate limit patched. The firmware limited the bitrate of avc videos to only 768 Kbps.
OE now forces the limit to be 16384 Kbps. (Note: this doesn't mean than the psp can handle such a high bitrate;
this means than they won't show error. I don't know which is the real maximum bitrate than the psp can handle at
full speed).
- Speed of OE boot is now ~3 seconds faster than previous versions. (without plugins).
- Cpu speed of XMB can now be changed.
- Wifi can now work at 333 Mhz.
- Added access to flashes 0 and 1 via usb in the recovery menu, based on the great idea of USBSSS by Booster.
Note that writing is enabled, so this is intended only for advanced users that know what they are doing in each moment.
(It is not a great idea to change anything from the kd folder).
Because of this addition, the rest of flashing options were removed.
- PSP isos can now be deleted as any normal memstick games. (also the size of the iso now shows fine when you press triangle->information).
- When formatting memory stick, GAME150, GAME303 and ISO directories will be automatically created.
- Changes in internal HEN core:
* If a EBOOT.PBP with a plain DATA.PSP had a data.psar, modulemgr took as size of the executable the size
of data.psp+data.psar. Fixed. (this fix enables psx games to have plain data.psp without causing a memory error).
* Added a couple of patches found by Tyranid. One allows syscalls instructions to be used in kernel mode
without causing a crash. The other allows sceKernelQueryModuleInfo to work with sceInit and previous modules.
For changes in popstation, refer to popstation readme.

Transmission oil leak
I have transmission oil leak between the "main drive gear" and "main shaft". All the seals are dry and most of the oil comes after a ride. One could think that the oil level is to high but it isn´t. When the bike is horisontal, there is no leak. The gear case is from 1947. Does anyone knows what causes this?

Interim Report of the EU/US Cooperation on Satellite navigation released (Working Group C, ARAIM Technical Subgroup) Offentliggjort den: 20/02/2013, Seneste opdatering: 21/02/2013
Interim Report of the EU/US Cooperation on Satellite navigation released (Working Group C, ARAIM Technical Subgroup).
The U.S.-EU Agreement on GPS-Galileo Cooperation signed in 2004 established the principles for the cooperation activities between the United States of America and the European Union in the field of satellite navigation.
The Agreement foresaw a working group to promote cooperation on the design and development of the next generation of civil satellite-based navigation and timing systems. This work became the focus of Working Group C (WG-C).
The subject Interim Report documents EU/U.S. accomplishments in developing the concept of ARAIM (Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring) as a future basis for a multi-constellation support for global air navigation.
The document captures the main findings of the studies conducted so far by joint teams on both sides of the Atlantic.
The report was prepared collaboratively thanks to the contributions from EU and US institutions, specialized agencies, research institutes and universities
The purpose of releasing this Interim Report is to inform the GNSS community about the progress made in this area thanks to the cooperative work of the U.S. and the EU, to call for comments on the findings, as well as to build a broad consensus towards the future standardization of ARAIM at international level.
After the release of this Interim Report, the joint work programme will continue in this domain, where good cooperation is already proving to generate fruitful results for the benefit of the whole GNSS community.
The ARAIM Technical Subgroup was established on July 2010, within the Working Group C set-up in the frame of the current U.S.-EU GPS-Galileo Cooperation Agreement.
The ultimate objective of the ARAIM SG is to establish whether - and how - ARAIM can be the basis for a multi-constellation concept to support air navigation worldwide. Specifically, ARAIM should support en-route flight and it should also support lateral and vertical guidance during approach operations.

Doc Millard is a very talented doctor rthat cares about the well being of his patients that are in "real pain". He has done 3 epidural injections to my spine and has taken most of the intense pain away. Not only that he is the Batman to Dr. Wall's Robin. I look at them as a couple of fumbling goofballs until they are called into action. Then look out they turn into Batman and Robin fighting pain and agony all the way until it diappears. If you know them I'll let you guess who is Batman and who is Robin in this pain fighting duo! Good work gentlemen! Job Well done!

The arrival of the spring equinox a few days ago sparked us to ruminate on how this season brings with it so many great expectations. Not surprisingly, many of ours are of the sartorial variety, and what better movie to inspire us than the 1998 flick Great Expectations starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Ethan Hawke? Not only is this modern retelling of Charles Dickens' novel brimming with fashion galore (case in point: Donna Karan designed Paltrow's wardrobe for the entire film, while director Alfonso Cuarón has an affinity for making movies infused with the color green), it also explores the expectations we set for ourselves and for other people, and what happens when they aren't met.
In the movie, loosely based on the classic book, a young boy named Finn (a brooding Hawke) meets and becomes enchanted by Estella (Paltrow at her iciest), who will eventually grow into the ravishing and ever-unattainable object of his desire. Over the years, knowing Finn is hopelessly in love with her, Estella coolly taunts him with her aloof beauty and allure. Eventually, Finn discovers that her eccentric aunt, Ms. Dinsmoor, once jilted at the altar, has trained her niece to break Finn's heart--and those of all men! The story, swelling with unrequited love and passion, is set against the gorgeous landscapes of lush Florida and glittering New York, and offers the perfect setting for gorgeous costume design. The entire flick is a procession of rich emeralds, olives, and khakis that appear in nearly every scene. Several designers surely had Great Expectations on the mind this season, as we spotted the color palette emerging in a number of S/S 12 runways, from Akris' Leaf Silk Shantung Sleeveless Tunic ($1580, 212.872.2526) and Leaf Silk Shantung Wide-Leg Pants ($1460, 212.872.2526) to Valentino's wispy embroidered dress. In order to satisfy our own sartorial expectations, we curated a selection of must-have pieces that speak to the romantic, nostalgic feel of the film!
Zara Lace Tulip Dress ($100)
Deep emerald green lace swathes this supremely feminine frock from Zara, which reminds us of the dress a young Estella wears, but all grown up! Its demure tulip silhouette--a scoop neck, babydoll waistline, and flared skirt--appears refined yet youthful, normally a fairly tricky combo to achieve, and references the untamed garden at Ms. Dinsmoor's home too.
By Malene Birger Hazima Printed Silk-Crepe Wide-Leg Pants ($355)
These silk pajama-inspired pants come in a rich green and cream color palette. The floral-print slacks are ideal for lazy lounging on the weekends, but teamed with the right pieces (we envision a skintight top and bold jewelry), they transform into cocktail hour-worthy attire.
Madewell Soft Silk Boyshirt ($110) in Lime Rickey
In the movie, one of Paltrow's most iconic outfits is a clingy shirt-and-skirt set in a vibrant verdant hue. With just a single button secured, it's a casual outfit that's also slightly provocative. We chose this silky, lime green button-down from Madewell to evoke Paltrow's subtly suggestive look.
J. Crew Sunflower Necklace ($68)
Ms. Dinsmoor's layered strands of pearls are lovely, but we think J. Crew's pretty necklace is a chic alternative appropriate for everyday wear! Acrylic pearls set in vintage gold-plated zinc look like a chain of mini jeweled sunflowers. This eye-catching trinket instantly lends a glamorous vibe to a t-shirt or button-down.
ASOS Oval Sunglasses With Metal Bridge Detail ($21) in Nude
Not only do these tinted sunnies come with a totally affordable price tag, they're perfectly on-trend, considering that retro sunglasses are in again! Slipping these cool round shades on will add a quirky touch to your outfit.
Deena & Ozzy Leather Mules ($89) in Black
Balance out all the shades of green with a pair of black shoes, like these sleek leather mules by Deena & Ozzy. With a 3.5-inch wooden heel, these kicks afford you a little height but remain comfortable enough for chasing your true love down a rainy street (a la Hawke and Paltrow's characters in the movie).
Clinique Almost Lipstick ($15) in Black Honey
Though Ms. Dinsmoor's caked-on makeup is the one beauty look we won't be channeling from the movie, we thought this glossy Clinique lipstick was very Estella-esque. Paint your pucker with this shade as alluring and mysterious as her character; it's really quite sheer and super wearable!
Cheap Monday Zip Clutch ($45) in Mellow Beige
What we love most about this petite clutch is its many convenient pockets (one on the outside, and another inside). It's just the right size for toting around all your essentials, but an adjustable shoulder strap makes it easy to wear when you're on the go.
Alexis Bittar Pearl Grey Emerald Earrings ($350)
Crafted with emerald stones surrounded by crystals and metal fringe, these decadent drop earrings are a nod to the film's elegant aesthetic. These stunning baubles are suitable for any evening soiree, whether it's a dinner party or gallery opening.--Tiffany Tse

At 51, my skin needs some firming and I'd love to see if this can really reduce pore size as well. Thank you!
- Sherry said...
I would like to win this because it is a product that I feel would particularly address the issues that my skin is showing at the age of 55 (56, next week!). My skin had held up very well until the past two years! Now, the dreaded sag has set in under my chin and in my jaw area. I also have always had extremely oily skin and notice that my pores have become quite enlarged; they make little craters in my cheeks! What saddens me most of all, however, is the change in my smile! Due to the folds caused by the sagging skin beside my mouth, my lips no longer turn up at the corners when I smile; I think it looks more like I'm making a "grimace". The whole picture is not a very pretty one anymore and leaves me more depressed by the day.

I know we should celebrate the gifts that age has given us such as wisdom and experience, but there's no harm in winning a product that can firm your chin, decrease pore size, and prevent even more sunspots!

I feel like I need this for that amazing glow of healthy skin. My skin is in decent condition, but I am out of lotions and creams and only left with a cleanser right now.

Six months ago I would never have even thought about any products, but now I have hyperpigmentation, lines around the mouth and eyes, sun damage below the eyes... its just incredible that my face could change so much in such a short period, but there you go.sunscreen and moisturizer isn't cutting it, and I've even tried natural oils... could this work?
- jessilynn said...
First, thanks for having the giveaway! I have used Perricone's night cream in the past and let me tell you, it was wonderful, just like the many reviews that said it was. I sure wish I had some of that now and even moreso, the product you are offering. I just turned 44 and I am starting to see the signs of aging, I have a small brown spot on my cheek, (I could kick myself for laying out all the time growing up here in the hot Florida sun and using baby oil with no sunscreen when I was a kid of all things to make it worse!) My skin also seems to be not as firm so I would love to win this product. Thanks again and good luck everyone! :)

Thank you again for yet another terrific giveaway. In the last year, I have been under enormous stress and seem to feel progressively sicker every day. It's gotten to the point where I don't look in the mirror anymore, just tie my hair back, no make up, nothing to enhance my appearance in any way. The other day, I caught a glimpse of myself in the bathroom mirror and almost died. I looked about 100 years older than I should and barely recognized myself.It's amazing just how much damage stress can have on one's appearance. Of course, this gives me another reason to stress. I'd like to start looking and feeling better about myself and my total neglect of any skincare regime is very apparent. This face firming product is exactly the type of product I need to get my face toned and back to the way it was only a few short months ago. It would be a real G-d given gift to win this contest.

I'd love to win this so I can try it out!

On the online forum Newschoolers.com—the most popular chat and trash-talk site for tall-T'd park rats—here's what one user had to say about Breckenridge's park: "Breckenridge will blow your mind away. Think of an orgasm. Multiply it by another orgasm to the fourth power, and then you might be close to knowing how good it is." It wasn't just the puberty talking. The four parks and two pipes spread out over 25 acres pretty much make it the Megan Fox of manufactured terrain.
School's back in session, so the last thing your teen wants is to feel like he's in class while he's on the slopes, right? Sun Valley's new Teen Adventure Program (T.A.P. for short) is a great way to help him improve his ski skills without landing you in detention. Teens choose from a variety of sessions, such as perfecting turns, off-piste skiing, terrain park tricks, moguls, racing and more. The half day (2.5 hour) group sessions are more like training with a coach than conventional lessons.
One of Vermont's most accessible ski resorts, Mount Snow is four hours from New York City and two and a half hours from Boston.
Along Vermont's scenic Route 100, a local in a red flannel shirt and grease-stained jeans starts his day by kicking the last of his driveway snowbank to pieces, hoping it will melt in the bright sun. It's only early spring, but some people are just over winter. I am not one of them.
Especially since learning that Mount Snow has invested more than $8.5 million in state-of-the-art snowmaking equipment over the past two years. It's time to check back in: It's been three decades since I last visited the mountain so popular with metro New Yorkers.
Copper Mountain, CO…Woodward at Copper announces session dates and prices for week-long Summer Camps. Woodward at Copper is the first skiing and snowboarding training facility dedicated to Terrain Park and Pipe progression. The 20,000 square foot Woodward at Copper Barn gives campers access to Snowflex® ramps, foam pits, spring floors, trampolines and indoor skateboard features.

Copper Mountain, CO…January 14, 2009… Copper is proud to recognize and support the National Ski Area Association's Safety Awareness Week with Copper's Safety Fest, featuring three days of education, demonstrations, giveaways and safe skiing and riding from Saturday - Monday, Jan. 17 - 19.
Despite mentions of one Vermont ski area closing - - count on 100% open operations across the 20 alpine and 29 Nordic ski areas this weekend.
Blue-bird skies and temperatures returning to more comfortable seasonable levels will greet skiers and riders this weekend as resorts are warming up their slopes for that extra day to enjoy the snow.
Monarch, CO. Monarch Mountain has been making improvements this summer that all skiers and riders will enjoy this winter. A new reservations system has been installed to make it easier for guests to purchase everything they need. Lift tickets, rental equipment, ski lessons, children's programs and even Snowcat trips can all be reserved with one call to 888.996.7669.
Vermont's Killington Resort, the largest ski and snowboard resort in the East, will invest $8.4 million into on-mountain improvements to kick off its 50th birthday season and improve the overall on-mountain experience for the 2008/09 ski and snowboard season.
Skye Peak Express: The New Skye Peak Express replaces the Skye Peak Quad and reduces the ride time from 14 minutes to just less than five minutes, allowing guests improved access to Bear Mountain and Killington's long intermediate cruising trails such as Skyeburst, Cruise Control and Needle's Eye.

Hip Pain
Hip Pain Overview
Patient Comments Read 10 Comments
The hip is a ball and socket joint that attaches the leg to the torso of the body. In the hip joint, the head of the femur (thighbone) swivels within the acetabulum, the socket, made up of pelvic bones. While many causes of hip pain can arise from the joint itself, there are numerous structures surrounding the hip that can also be the source of pain.
Trauma is often the cause of hip pain, but any source of inflammation may cause pain in the hip area. Pain is one of the symptoms of inflammation, along with swelling, warmth, and redness; together these are signals and symptoms that a problem may exist.

Business Week this year introduced students to a host of clubs, activities, and programs, while mixing in a service project for patients at the Huntsman Cancer Institute and a free concert for students by a group called Recycled Percussion.
Students learned about the 18 clubs and a variety of student programs the school offers, such as the Huntsman Scholar Program, the Entrepreneurship Club, and the Global Learning Experience program. Business Week was aimed at a campus-wide audience.
