Duke nuclear
May 6 2011 - TI Staff
Duke Energy remains firmly committed to nuclear power despite the March nuclear plant accident in Japan, CEO Jim Rogers told the company's shareholders today. "Duke Energy and the entire U.S. nuclear industry will learn from the Japanese accident. And, we'll make modifications at our existing plants, if needed," Rogers told about 200 shareholders at the company's annual meeting. "But one thing is certain: nuclear energy remains vital to the world's energy future. It's the only technology available today to generate carbon-free, reliable, base-load electricity - 24/7," he said.
Rogers called nuclear energy "a key component" of Duke Energy's long-term strategy to reduce its carbon footprint. "That hasn't changed as a result of the accident in Japan," he said.
Duke Energy currently operates seven nuclear reactors. Upon completion of its pending merger with Raleigh, N.C.-based Progress Energy, the combined company - operating under the Duke Energy name - will operate 12 of America's 104 nuclear reactors. "Nuclear energy must remain a key part of our existing generation fleet, and we remain firmly committed to building new nuclear reactors, as well," Rogers said.
"We'll continue to move forward with the licensing process for our proposed Lee Nuclear Station in South Carolina. And we'll continue to pursue joint nuclear partnerships with other entities to spread the cost of building the Lee plant, and reduce the rate impact on customers," he said.
The two-reactor Lee plant, near Gaffney, S.C., has a projected online date in the early 2020's. Four other new Duke Energy power plants - currently under construction in North Carolina and Indiana - are scheduled to come online in 2012 as part of the company's $7-billion modernization strategy, Rogers said. The plants - two gas-fired and two coal-fired - together will generate nearly 2,700 MW.

(Jan 22, 2010) The French Parliament recently adopted Law 2010-2 of January 5, 2010, on the compensation of victims of French nuclear testing (Loi 2010-5 du 5 janvier 2010 relative à la reconnaissance et à l'indemnisation des victimes des essais nucléaires français, Legifrance, http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr (File: les autres textes législatifs et réglementaires) (last visited Jan. 19, 2010). The law allows the financial compensation of any person, civilian or military, who suffered from an illness resulting from direct exposure to radiation. The Law lists the times and places where the victim must have either resided or stayed. France carried out nuclear testing in the Sahara desert and in French Polynesia over more than three decades. If the victim is deceased, the request for compensation may be presented by his/her heirs. A list of illnesses giving rise to compensation, based on the work of the international scientific community, is to be established. (Id.)
A compensation committee composed of medical experts appointed by the Ministries of Defense and Health and presided over by either a member of the Conseil d'Etat (France' highest administrative court) or of the Cour de Cassation (France's Supreme Court for civil and criminal matters) will review the compensation requests. The victims or their heirs must file a request within five years of the publication of the Law in the official gazette. The Law was published in the January 6, 2010, issue of the official gazette. The committee will have access to any useful medical information and doctor-patient confidentiality cannot be invoked to oppose committee demands. If the request is granted, the victim will receive a lump-sum. (Id.)
Finally, the Minister of Defense must convene a Consultative Committee on the Consequences of Nuclear Testing at least twice a year. This Committee is to monitor the implementation of the Law and to advise the Minister on whether the list of illnesses giving rise to compensation needs to be modified. (Id.)

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
ATHENS -- Needing a win to stay in the driver's seat for the SEC East Division championship, Georgia came up with easily its best and most complete performance of the season in the South's oldest rivalry.
Aaron Murray completed 14 of 18 passes for 224 yards and four touchdowns as the Bulldogs took a huge lead in the first half en route to making a statement with a 45-7 win over Auburn before a sellout crowd of 92,746 Saturday at Sanford Stadium.
Isaiah Crowell (132 yards and a TD on 24 carries) and Carlton Thomas (15-127) also had a big day upon their return from last week's suspension, while the Georgia defense also had a strong performance as the Bulldogs (8-2, 6-1 in the SEC) outgained Auburn (6-3, 4-3) 528-195 in an absolutely dominating afternoon.
"I can't really think of anything (Saturday) night I wasn't happy with," Georgia coach Mark Richt said. "I'm proud of them. ... It was definitely, I'd have to say (one of the) top, maybe, five or so (best) games since I've been here, especially in this stadium."
It made for a satisfying victory in a rivalry that dates back to 1892, and also sets the Bulldogs up to clinch the SEC East and a berth in the conference title game Dec. 3 at the Georgia Dome with a win next week against Kentucky.
"To know we're one win away from getting back to Atlanta, it's an awesome feeling," Murray said.
Murray and Georgia came out flying from the start.
The Bulldogs marched 70 yards in 10 plays on its opening possession, draining 6:07 off the clock, their longest scoring drive of the season.
And they converted four third-downs along the way, with the biggest being Murray's 43-yard completion to Malcolm Mitchell on third and 15 from Georgia's own 45.
Murray later found Tavarres King on an 8-yard scoring strike on third and 7 to put the Bulldogs up 7-0 with 8:57 left in the first quarter.
But Auburn quickly put itself in position to answer when Clint Moseley hit Emory Blake on a 45-yard completion to the Georgia nine before turning to a pair of Georgia natives on third and goal.
Moseley pitched to freshman C.J. Uzomah on the reverse, and the North Gwinnett grad threw a strike to Marietta native Phillip Lutzenkirchen for the 4-yard TD pass, tying the the game 7-7 with 6:13 left in the opening frame.
But Murray and Georgia found the end zone again on their next possession.
This time, it didn't take nearly as long -- just six plays and 3:04 -- with Murray completing all five of his attempts, including a spectacular diving 27-yard snag by Michael Bennett for a touchdown that vaulted the Bulldogs back in front 14-7 with 3:02 left in the quarter.
And they firmly grasped control of the game thanks to a surge during a 5:36 span of the second quarter.
First, after an exchange of fumbles between the two teams, Murray capped a six-play, 40-yard drive with a 15-yard swing pass to fullback Bruce Figgins for a score to push the Georgia lead to 21-7 with 10:36 left in the first half.
Just 49 seconds later, the Bulldogs were back on the board again, courtesy of Bacarri Rambo's 24-yard interception return that made the score 28-7.
"I saw (defensive lineman) Abry (Jones) waving for me to come that way (on the return)," Rambo said. "So I did, and those guys just helped me into the end zone. We played great (Saturday). It's a great day to be a Bulldog."
Then after a three-and-out by Auburn, Murray went back to work -- this time, hitting Mitchell with a 25-yard scoring strike to extend the Georgia lead to 35-7 with an even five minutes left in the half.
And with the Bulldogs defense turning in a dominating performance, the least was plenty large enough.
While the defense was limiting Auburn to just 106 yards and five first downs in the second half, the offense shifted from the quick-strike mode of Murray and the passing game -- which went to the air just twice with one completion in the final 30 minutes -- to the time-consuming ground game of Thomas and Crowell.
The pair combined for 169 yards in the half, 114 by Crowell, who added a 9-yard TD with 5:59 remaining to put the cherry on top Georgia's win.
"It was a great day -- special teams, offense, defense," Murray said. "It was definitely was our most complete game of the year ... and the results show on the scoreboard."

|Miles & More Complaints Have you tried using your miles or elite status but encountered problems? Had any problems earning mileage?
|Thread Tools
|Display Modes
Star Alliance "Partners" don't communicate with each other ?
In November 2008 I used Singapore Airlines because I thought that I would be able to use my Miles and More miles in order to upgrade the flight. (A flight with a Non-Star Alliance Partner would have been shorter and cheaper but I did not want my miles to expire and was looking for a way how to use them) Lufthansa's website (the "award table / upgrades") showed clearly that a Singapore Airlines flight could be upgraded using the Miles and More account.
The only exception (explained under **) was: " ** Singapore Airlines: We regret that at present upgrades are not possible on flights operated with the Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus 380."
None of my 6 flight segments was on either one of these kind of planes.
After having made the reservation I called Miles and More and asked them to use my miles to upgrade any of the 6 segments of my trip. After I was put on hold for a while the answer was "the upgrade does not go through for any segment."
I called Singapore Airlines because I wanted to find out what the problem was and they advised me that Miles and More members are not eligible at all for upgrades. Singapore Airlines confirmed this in writing (Ref.: 0810006067/CR/CQ - 18. November 2008) Their system would not allow a Star Alliance partner to upgrade a seat.
"Passengers are able to use their Lufthansa miles to make a booking for Singapore Airlines flight, provided the booking is done with Lufthansa Airlines. However, passengers would not be able to do a redemption upgrade for their Singapore Airlines flight with their Lufthansa miles, if the booking was done with Singapore Airlines."
This information was contradictory to what Miles and More showed on their upgrade table and I forwarded a copy to Miles and More - they insisted that a flight booked directly with Singapore Airlines could be upgraded by using Miles and More, basically they were accusing Singapore Airlines of telling me something wrong. They would never get in touch with their "partner" directly and never make any comment in regards to my question how it was possible that two "partners" were saying something totally contradictory.
Very typical for this type of behavior between airlines. Each blames the other and the customer gets the shaft.
In this case it was obviously like playing the Lottery without even having a chance to win.

|Nice climb for an easy lead, looks simpler from the bottom that it really is (but shoot, most climbs do!)with a few places without major positive holes. Still, a very nice lead for those looking for practice clipping and a scenic warm up for those with more experience.

|"Practice clipping"?? You must mean the route "Sweet and Low". Are you referring to the climb in the corner (with no fixed gear and no bolts) or the bolted face just to the right of the corner?

|I climbed the full route today. For beginning trad leaders, it may be worth doing once, but I would strongly discourage going past Sweet and Low's chains - by the time you have made it this far, a crowd of families with small children will be haning out below sans helmets. The rock quality is VERY poor beyond the chains. There is a ledge with tons of loose rock and a single bolt. I climbed beyond this and found a good block up top that I slung for a rappel anchor. If you make the mistake of going this far, make sure you and your belayer have a good system for communication because the river and large ledge make verbal communication nearly impossible.

|This pitch must have "cleaned up," since Nate's evaluation in 2001, and certainly since the publication of the Ruckman's guidebook. There is very little loose rock if you end at the Sweet and Low chains. The last few moves are on lichened rock, but did not detract from my enjoyment. I think this pitch is well worth doing.

While you aren't likely to come across a ghost in the course of your day to day routine, there is no shortage of paranormal hauntings coming out of Hollywood. In fact, movies about haunted houses are almost as old as the film industry itself. In honor of the latest addition to the genre–Insidious, on Blu-ray & DVD now–I've compiled this list of the nine creepiest haunted house films. I suggest reading it in a Victorian-era mansion belonging to an eccentric millionaire, perhaps on the anniversary of a mass murder.
Check out all the Sony "Action Unleashed" DVDs!
Paranormal Activity tells the story of a young couple living in a new home who are stalked by a demonic presence. In order to capture evidence of the supernatural being, they deploy surveillance cameras, which give the film a documentary-like feel. The film was well received by audiences and critics alike, but as the most recent entry on this list, I felt obligated to place it at the bottom. Only time will tell how this modern take on a classic premise holds up.
In an effort to prove the existence of the supernatural, Dr. John Markway, along with three companions, sets out to investigate the Hill House. It isn't long until strange occurrences begin to plague the group. But like most good horror films, all is not what it seems.
When a young boy named Carlos is made parentless by the Spanish Civil War, he becomes the newest resident of a local orphanage. But after spening some time in his new home, Carlos realizes that humans aren't the only inhabitants roaming the grounds. If you like Guillermo del Toro, you owe it to yourself to check out this often overshadowed entry in his filmography.
The Changeling tells the story of Dr. John Russell (played by Oscar winner George C. Scott), who is trying to piece his life back together after the death of is wife and child. While renting a Victorian-era home in the Seattle area, the ghost of a murdered child begins haunting him. His investigation of the child's death leads Russell to many unanswered questions involving a powerful local family that is desperate to let sleeping dogs lie.
Belasco House is refereed to as the "Mount Everest" of haunted houses. This is due in no small part to the fact that is was the site of a mass murder which is thought to have been carried out by the home's now-missing owner, Emeric Belasco. At the behest of an eccentric millionaire, physicist Lionel Barrett sets out for the home in order to prove the existence of life after death, but ends up risking his own life in the process.
Vincent Price plays eccentric millionaire Fredrick Loren in this horror classic in which five people are invited to spend the night in Loren's haunted mansion. If they live through the night, they will receive $10,000 each (it was a lot of cash back in 1959). In order to up the ante, the guests are all armed with handguns. Add the threat of the supernatural to the mix, and it's not hard to imagine what could go wrong with this scenario.
Based on a book by the same name, Amityville Horror was reportedly based on a "true story." And like most horror films that are based on a "true story," the story in question turned out to be absolute bullshit. Even so, the film is one of the creepiest of all time. When the Lutz family buys their supposed dream home, they are fully aware that it was the site of a mass murder. But what can go wrong? After all, houses don't have memories, right? If that were the case, it would have made for a very boring film.
Steven Spielberg's addition to the horror genre tells the story of the Freeling family, and the supernatural forces attempting to drive them from their new home. As the film progresses, the paranormal activity increases, and experts are called in to asses the situation. As it turns out, the home was built on the site of a grave yard, and while developers moved the gravestones, they neglected to move the graves. This doesn't sit will with the ghosts of the graves' inhabitants, and it doesn't bode well for the Freeling's youngest daughter.
This Stanley Kubrick classic has become one of the most influential horror films of all time, casting its shadow not only on the horror genre, but throughout pop-culture. Jack Nicholson stars as Jack Torrance, a recovering alcoholic who agrees to take a job as the winter caretaker of the Overlook Hotel. While he plans to use the job's extensive free time to further his writing career, the ghosts who inhabit the hotel have other ideas. Apparitions plague Jack and his family, pushing him beyond the brink of homicidal madness.

How about the Movie The Exorcist
How about the Movie The Exorcist
How about the Movie The Exorcist
The newer version of "house on haunted hill" was much scarier….the shining was a pretty good one however.
My son was terrified when that white apparition, or whatever it was, suddenly swooped into their face. I have to say I started laughing. I'm not sure why, but it felt cheesy and the movie lost it's hold on me.k Just my own take.
That's not about a haunted house.
How could you not list Stephen Kings Rose Red it should have definitely made the list and the older versions of the remakes you have on here have always been on my list of favorites…House on the haunted hill…Legend of Hell House. OMG The Haunting was one of the scariest things Id ever seen…LOL!

Prime Minister Modi dedicates to the nation 765 kV Solapur - Raichur transmission lines, and four laning of Pune - Solapur section of NH-9
Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, today outlined a comprehensive vision for new modes of infrastructure development in the country, which would include nationwide connectivity networks of roads, power transmission lines, gas grids and water grids.
In a function at Solapur, the Prime Minister dedicated to the nation 765 kV Solapur - Raichur transmission lines, and four laning of Pune - Solapur section of NH-9.
Modi said, "The dream of our Government - all 7 days a week, all 365 days a year, 24 hours every village should get electricity. We have to increase power production and we also have to conserve electricity."
The Prime Minister called upon students to take the lead in a nationwide movement to reduce electricity bills of their family. This too would be a form of service to the nation, he added. Students should exhort all family members to join in this movement, he said.
"If the electricity bill can be saved it is a great service to the poor. It should be in our nature to conserve electricity. Let us pledge to conserve electricity. It will help our families the most," he added.
The Prime Minister shared the concern expressed by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prithviraj Chavan, over power plants being idle due to shortage of coal and gas. He, however, added that he had been raising this concern as Chief Minister of Gujarat. He said the Union Government would do all it could to ensure enough fuel for power plants. Coal would be extracted in a way that did not harm the environment.
Giving the example of South Korea, the Prime Minister said across the world, countries which had invested in infrastructure creation, had reaped the fruits of development and prosperity. He asserted that roads and highways development will be given priority by the new Government, drawing inspiration from the Golden Quadrilateral and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana launched by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
"Road network is important and along with that we also have to increase Rail network. With infrastructure comes more employment," Prime Minister Modi said.
"Today the nation wants Highways and I-ways or Information Ways. Every village must be integrated," he added.
The Prime Minister referred to the Union Government's decision to grant permission to raise the height of the Narmada Dam. He said this decision had been pending for years, and the new Government had taken a decision on it soon after assuming office. He said once this project is completed, Maharashtra would get electricity worth Rs. 400 crore, free, every year.
Greeting the people of Solapur who had gathered in large numbers for the function, the Prime Minister assured them that he would return the gift of their love through development.
He said Solapur was a well established centre for textile industry, and revitalization of this industry was among the priorities of the Union Government.
Union Ministers Nitin Gadkari and Piyush Goyal, and the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, Prirhviraj Chavan also spoke on the occasion.

Park Authority Announces Ruckstuhl Park Master Plan Process
The Fairfax County Park Authority invites you to visit the park and provide input on the Draft Ruckstuhl Park Master Plan. The draft Master Plan is available in the document list on this page.
Visit Ruckstuhl Park at an Open House on Tuesday, July 28 between 4:00 and 7:00 p.m. at 7545 Idylwood Road, Falls Church.
The Fairfax County Park Authority has initiated a public master planning process for Ruckstuhl Park, located at 7545 Idylwood Rd, in Falls Church. Please refer to the accompanying Vicinity Map . Vicinity Map (The open house will be cancelled if it rains. Please check this webpage for status.)
On the following evening, Wednesday, July 29 at 7:00 p.m., provide input on the Draft Master Plan at the Public Comment Meeting at Marshall High School at 7731 Leesburg Pike, Falls Church, VA.
This park planning process was kicked off with a public information meeting held on July 30, 2014. The meeting presentation and summary of comments are available on this web page under the Document List.
The Park SiteLocated between Idylwood Rd and I-66, Ruckstuhl Park has 7.2 acres of lawn, meadow, and forest. Ruckstuhl Park is located in the Jefferson Planning District, and is classified as a local park, expected to serve the surrounding residential neighborhoods. It is increasingly rare for the Park Authority to find property that is ideal for a local public park in this developed part of Fairfax County. The acquisition of this property was made possible largely due to the generosity of Dr. Lily Ruckstuhl and the Northern Virginia Conservation Trust, to whom she donated her property upon her passing in September 2008. Dr. Ruckstuhl expressed her desire that her property be forever preserved, preferably as a public park that area residents could enjoy as she had for many years. A conservation easement was placed on the property and prescribes certain conditions on the property and prohibits uses such as athletic fields.
Through the master plan process, the Park Authority will engage park stakeholders through its public participation process to help the Park Authority determine the appropriate uses and facilities within the park.
The Process
The park master plan process begins with public engagement at a Public Information Meeting that will feature a presentation about the site's existing conditions and the park master planning process. Following the presentation, the meeting will continue with an informal moderated public discussion session to identify community concerns, answer questions, and receive suggestions for future park features. This meeting allows the public to identify issues and uses to be considered by the Park Authority in developing the draft Master Plan. Comments can also be provided throughout the process by email to: email@example.com.
Using this input and the site conditions, a draft master plan will be prepared by the multi-discipline staff team. The planning process will take into account public access, site assets, and constraints while evaluating alternatives to determine the best possible options. Once the draft master plan is completed, it will be published on this project website and presented to the community at a public comment meeting. Public comments on the draft plan can be presented at this meeting or in various other ways during the 30 day public comment period following the public comment meeting. As the plan process progresses, updates will be provided to the community on the status of the proposed park master plan.
More information on the Master Plan process can be found by visiting the Park Planning and Development homepage.
Comments can be provided throughout the process by email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.
The Park Authority will post public meetings presentations, summaries and other relevant materials to this website.

Highway Marker To Honor Cancer Patient, Henrietta Lacks
CBS Baltimore (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates:
Health News & Information:
CLOVER, Va. (AP) — A poor black woman whose tumor cells helped scientists make advances in cancer treatment is being honored with a historical highway marker near her childhood home in Virginia.
The Virginian-Pilot reports that the marker honoring Henrietta Lacks will be dedicated July 29 in Clover.
Lacks was living in Baltimore in 1951 when, unbeknownst to her, a tissue sample was taken from her cervical tumor. It was used by a researcher at Johns Hopkins Hospital to start a line of cells that have since helped scientists with advances in the treatment of cancer and other diseases, such as helping develop the polio vaccine.
Lacks died in 1951.

How many of you have dreamed of quitting your day job and sewing full time? Well, Kristen Elmer did just that when she left her job as a buyer at Lord & Taylor to focus on her dream of designing. A year later, Kristen has set up a pop-up shop in Nolita where she will be selling her line, Silk & Cyanide, through the month of April.
Like many of us, Kristen's grandmother taught her to sew, and for her 8th grade graduation she was given a sewing machine. Kristen's early endeavors into fashion were a family affair, with her sister sketching designs and Kristen bringing them to life with fabric and thread. She participated in fashion shows during high school and spent her time modifying vintage finds, but when it came to college Kristen didn't feel that design was a viable career choice.
Inside Kristen's pop-up shop at 278 Mott St
Opting to study finance, Kristen headed from her hometown of Chicago to New Orleans to attend Tulane University. While in college, Kristen was exposed to the world of costuming and went on to spend time creating costumes for theatre and burlesque productions.
"I had no costuming exposure before going to Tulane. I was referred to the department by a counselor when I mentioned my plans for being in fashion after school and knowing how to sew. From there I worked for two different costume shops associated with Tulane and another theatre company in New Orleans.
In the burlesque environment you learn that the inside is just as important as the outside. When I originally costumed in theatre, internal sewing was mostly based on function rather than perfection. No one will see it except the actor, so it really isn't critical. In burlesque, everyone has the opportunity to see the inside because it's taken off on stage – so it has to look good – no serging, no tags, no frayed edges. Burlesque performers seem a bit more proud of their costumes and they're a lot more personal – there is more ownership involved and the design process is more hands-on and collaborative."
Kristen moved to New York three years ago and secured a job as a buyer for the then fledgling Macy's online store. As the site expanded and the rigidities of corporate structure sank in, Kristen realized that world just wasn't for her. After a stint at Lord & Taylor, Kristen gave up the life of large-scale corporate fashion and decided to focus her attention on building her own line and championing smaller designers.
"In buying you essentially run your own small business, and I was exposed to a lot. I would recommend that people work in their industry first, just be careful not to get sucked in. But, sitting in a cube 50+ hours a week stifles creativity and you're dealing with a lot of uninspiring, close-minded people. Neither (Macy's nor Lord & Taylor) is known for innovation and that starts in the office. When that doesn't jive with how you work it can be frustrating for both you and your managers."
She freelanced for awhile and this past August took a job at a small store in Nolita called True Boutique where she recently started selling a few of her own pieces along side the carefully curated selection of smaller labels. When the economy took a turn for the worse, the owner of True decided it was time to move on and with one more month left on the lease, Kristen was given the opportunity to take over the space to create a pop-up shop featuring her designs.
"Since quitting my job my cash flow has absolutely changed, but it's not the end of the world if you're prepared for it. When you get sucked into corporate culture you start getting convinced that there aren't many options outside of your work, but once you're out you see how many opportunities there really are. This decision has changed my life because I'm so much happier! I didn't realize how much I had lost parts of myself and now they're coming back to life. It's the most amazing and rewarding feeling waking up every morning and finally feeling on the right path."
Kristen's work is vintage inspired with a slightly modern edge. The flair for the dramatic she no doubt picked up from her time in the theatre and burlesque atmospheres as well as her love of alt cultures play strong supporting roles in her aesthetics. She's draws most heavily from the 50's, 60's and 80's, but her designs are tweaked to be updated, fresh and above all else, comfortable.
Kristen's decor for Silk & Cyanide is heavily vintage inspired and includes items handed down from her grandmother as well as a great selection of heavy-duty fashion books and framed vintage magazine covers.
"Sewing wise, fabric is a huge inspiration. I lean more towards draping and just cutting something out rather than drawing it first. Fabric will either inspire something, or I'll have an idea and hunt for the perfect fabric and go from there. A hole in my closet can spark my creativity also, it's like a light will just go off. And I like anything that sparkles or is a little over the top, which costuming tends to be."
I create for girls who are confident and know their personal style. People who are out to change the world and be the best dressed to boot. I create with a few people in mind, myself included. I'm lucky to be really inspired by some of my closest friends, and what I make is inspired by and for all of us."
Kristen modeling her Silk & Cyanide designs
While Kristen's other influences include high profile designers like John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Christophe Decarnin for Balmain and Tom Ford circa Gucci, she says she doesn't feel connected to the fashion industry and in a lot of ways is very alienated from it.
"I think the fashion pace I move at is a lot slower. I can be fairly cautious with new trends and have a tendency to look both ways – past and future. Also, I'm never going to be what the fashion industry promotes and I think alienation can spurn alienation. I feel like I want to say "screw you back" which makes the things I wear and make more out there. It spirals."
Kristen's workspace is a small basement nook in her Brooklyn apartment where she houses two industrial machines, a serger and a Singer tabletop machine ("I always prefer a vintage or industrial machine. My Singer tabletop works pretty well for a newer machine, but the more metal the machine is the better in my opinion!"). New York has been, as for most transplants, an adjustment and space is a highly coveted commodity, but there are many benefits in the city for young designers and for Kristen it's a great place to build her business.
"I think NYC is such a Catch-22. There are times when I think this place is the best, other times I think it could be easier elsewhere. Ultimately, if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere, and I think New Yorkers love and search out new designers and unique pieces. I think the crowd here tends to be a little more adventurous and has fashion forward tourists, which probably makes it a better spot for what I envision than any other city in the country. And I can get everything done here if I so choose. The industry has really shrunk, and I really think this is one of the only places where you can get everything from buttons to small production within a few blocks."
A snap from Kristen's Pop-Up Shop launch party
Carving her own path and making some serious headway over the last few months, Kristen recently worked on costumes for the off-Broadway production of Three Sisters starring Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard and is currently working on building up her own line's presence, both online and off.
"I'm hoping to launch an online store outside of Etsy in May to continue to sell other pieces outside of what I make and design. And I've spoken to a few people about being featured in other boutiques. I would like to have an established online and brick and mortar business. I think online is the way of the future, but there's nothing like running and merchandising an actual store."
We wish Kristen the best of luck and look forward to seeing what she's up to next! If you're in the New York City area make sure to check out Kristen's pop-up shop at 278 Mott St – open Monday through Sunday until April 28th and see more of her work as well as inspirations and insight on her blog.

MASON, OH (CNN/WLWT) -- A surprise guest at an Ohio school on Monday. A deer came crashing through the window of a classroom and school employees had to get creative to get him out.
The 10-point buck made an entrance 8th grade teacher Erik Poggi will never forget.
The big guy hung around for awhile clearly hurt, limping around the classroom, knocking over desks. Battalion chief Doug Wehmeyer says, "Luckily the classroom it broke into, it wasn't able to break out of. It was concrete block walls and brick. Once it got in through the Plexiglas window, it was stuck."
The three in the classroom, made it out safely while history teacher, Dustin Goldie came to the rescue. He's also a deer farmer. He called his mother to bring his tranquilizers. student broadcasters documented it all on video.
First the deer was roaming around, and then Goldie loaded the tranquilizer gun and helping to calm the buck down to protect kings students.
Goldie says during breeding season, bucks sometimes do crazy things. He says, "In my opinion he was probably running around, he saw his reflection in the window and thought it was another buck and tried to attack it and crash through the window and scared a lot of people."
Probably no one more than mr. Poggi who never planned on this type of show and tell.

Any reccomendations on a good taxidermist in NW Montana to do a bear rug for me next month?
I see prices ranging from $120 to $225 per linear foot. I would like to be near the lower end of that range but I want a quality rug.
They need to in that part of the state or next door in northern ID because it will be just me packing out the bear which could take a while on foot and I have no way to freeze the hide before I get it to them.
Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks.

Although Ingrid Rowland's thoughtfully critical review of Hans Belting's Florence and Baghdad: Renaissance Art and Arab Science is not available in full online, it contains a small disquisition on a topic of interest to theorists of and writers on contemporary art. The relevant excerpt:
Belting's arguments suffer particular damage in English translation because they hinge so directly on the word almost always rendered as "gaze." In academic English for the past three decades or so, "gaze" has conjured up a whole series of associations that originate with Jacques Lacan and his ideas about the way that sight shapes thought (or "scopic regimes," which sounds only slightly less outré in French than it does in English). To our collective misfortune, "gaze" and "the gaze" entered the Anglophone vocabulary through a translator's effort to find the right English word to match Lacan's "regard." But "gaze" is not that word. Lacan's regard meant an incisive look that has nothing whatsoever to do with gazing. "Gaze," like "berserk," is one of the marvelous Scandinavian contributions to the English vocabulary for mental derangement. It means an unfocused, mindless kind of looking, the kind of stupefied contemplation that brings to mind operative lovers doting on miniature portraits of the beloved, the rapt stare that Narcissus showered upon his own reflection, and stargazers turned upward obsessively to the heavens in the minds of their unappreciative contemporaries. A gaze is, indeed, the exact opposite of a pointed and precise regard, or an equally pointed and precise German Blick. Translators of Chinese and japanese have usually used the word "view" for this kind of intelligent looking—a much more appropriate description of the activity at hand, as our own English usage proves: we say "point of view" and "viewer," rather than "point of gaze" and "gazer," because gazing never focuses on a point, and we don't go "gazing" at art, or "gazing for" someone, we go "looking." Tellingly, Belting drops the misleading term for his own discussion of Al-Hazen's optics and speaks of "seeing" and "glancing."
By now, however, one translator's unhappy choice in rending Lacan has become the byword for two generations of English-speaking scholars who would classify themselves as "critical" and "theoretical" while accepting, uncritically and with utter lack of theoretical sophistication, a grossly misleading term for one of their fundamental concepts.
For the rest of Rowland's review, see the December 29 issue of The New Republic.

GOES TO THREE-DAY WEEKCirrus Design has gone to a three-day
work week (from four) in an effort to balance production against reduced
demand. Company CEO Alan Klapmeier also told the Duluth News Tribune last week that the 2009 target
for introduction of its SRS light sport model will be pushed back
because of a slowdown in the LSA sector. Development of the Vision SJ50
personal jet will not be affected. "We're looking at the situation
progressively, on a week-by-week basis," he said. Without an increase in
demand, the three-day week will be in place at least until the end of
the year, Klapmeier told the newspaper. More...
PILOTS WILL AVOID CANADA UNDER NEW ELT RULES: AOPAAOPA has
told the Canadian government that American pilots will stop crossing the
border in droves if it means spending thousands of dollars on a new
406-megaHertz ELT. Transport Canada is considering making the
installation of the devices mandatory in all aircraft flying in Canadian
airspace as of Feb. 1, 2009. AOPA says a survey of members who routinely
fly north indicates 51 percent will find somewhere else to go rather
than spend the money on equipment that's not required in the U.S. On
Feb. 1, the search-and-rescue satellites will stop monitoring the 121.5
MHz frequency emitted by the majority of small aircraft ELTs and will
only look for 406 signals. American authorities have essentially left it
up to aircraft owners to decide whether to equip with the
satellite-friendly ELTs. AOPA has suggested Transport Canada allow
American aircraft to carry handheld 406 beacons as a compromise to the
new regulation, but AOPA's Canadian counterpart, the Canadian Owners and
Pilots Association, wants the whole notion of mandatory 406 equipage
scrapped because there are better technologies available.
BAFFLED BY CRASH VICTIMS' SUITNew York Times business travel
columnist Joe Sharkey says he was unaware of a lawsuit launched against
him by the relatives of victims of a Brazilian plane crash until he read
about it in an American online publication. The suit was launched by
Rosane Gutjhar, the widow of Rolf Gutjhar, who was among 154 people who
died when the GOL Boeing 737 they were on collided with an Embraer
Legacy 600. The Association of Relatives and Friends of GOL's Flight
1907 Victims issued a news release that Sharkey was on the Legacy, which
made a safe emergency landing at a Brazilian military base, minus a
winglet and part of its tail. Sharkey wrote extensively about the
accident, defending the business jet's pilots and blaming Brazilian
controllers for the tragedy. In the suit, Gutjhar is seeking
compensation for "moral damages" she claims were caused by Sharkey's
accounts of the developing story. Sharkey told AVweb he can't
comment directly on the suit since he hasn't seen a copy but he defended
his reporting and commentary about the accident. "Obviously, anyone who
followed my reporting knows that I have consistently expressed the
deepest sympathy for the relatives of those who were killed," he said.
FAA ONLINE RESOURCE OFFERS LESSONS FROM THE PASTPilots know
they must always keep learning to keep safe, and one way to keep sharp
is to study the mistakes made by others. To promote that effort, the FAA
has created an online safety library thatteaches "lessons learned"
from some of the world's most historically significant transport
airplane accidents. The FAA said that even though some of the accidents
happened as long as 40 years ago, they all teach timeless lessons that
are relevant to today's aviation community. More...
AIRCRAFT ON THE EDGESomething we like about aviation is that
someone is always thinking about new ways to use it or apply it, and a
couple of ideas have been floated recently that stretch current
technology, not to mention the imagination. Now the Defense Advanced
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) spends most of its time (and
considerable budget) out on the edge, and its latest invitation to the
dreamers and thinkers out there isn't new, but it may be something whose
time has come. DARPA is calling for proposals to develop a submersible
airplane that can cover 1,l00 nm (the last 100 nm at sea-skimming
height), then travel underwater for 12 nm to drop off commandos. Then it
has to be able to loiter in the area in seas of up to 13 feet,
presumably waiting for pickup. DARPA doesn't say it'll be easy, but it
does want to know if it's possible. Meanwhile, British firm Falx Airis hoping to
develop a hybrid electric tilt-rotor personal aircraft that will go up
to 230 mph. More...
THE AVIATION DREAMThere are plenty of people who live and
breathe airplanes, but it may not be too long before 37 California
families get to live with their airplanes. Bob Banman and Bill Lindsay,
a couple of aviation buffs, have navigated the regulatory waters to
create a 37-condo development on the airport at Santa Paula, Calif., a
quiet farming community about 60 miles north of Los Angeles. Now there
are plenty of residential air parks where owners have their homes and
hangars on the runway, but in the Sky Lofts of
Santa Paula, their $800,000 home is their hangar.

"FBO of the Week" ribbon goes to Western Aviation Services (WAS) at Rafael
Hernandez Airport (TJBQ) in Aguadilla, Puerto Rico.
Almost all of
this week's nominations came from pilots who experienced Hurricane Omar
evacuations firsthand and made it through with the help of outstanding
FBOs and careful planning but the fact that Western Aviation was
nominated by a group of some 30 pilots at various airports ("TJSJ, TJIG,
TJAB, TSTT, TSTX, and others," according to the form) made it stand
above the rest. So did AVweb reader A.B. Ravelo's rundown
of everything the team at WAS did for the GA community. Here are some of
the highlights of A.B.'s account:
The panic button hit
all regional aviation as the storm had projected winds of 105 mph. ...
Mr. Ruben Hernandez, owner of Western Aviation Services, and his team
went into high gear and offered hangar facilities free of cost to
over 60 aircraft and ramp facilities to another 20. BQN controllers saw
over 100 flights in less than four hours, as King Airs lined up on the
downwind for Runway 8, behind C-150s and others. Overnight, the storm's
easterly track pushed it out of range, and it became a non-event.
However, the Good Samaritan spirit of WAS and their staff are ... [the
reason why] the folks at WAS are your first friends when traveling into
the Caribbean USA.

Actuarial Matrix Computations with Fewer Tears- Rehabilitating Correlations, Avoiding Inversion, and Extracting Roots
Registration: 17:00 - 17:30
Programme: 17:30 - 19:00
Drinks reception: 19:00 - 20:00
The presentation will be given by the Numerical Algorithms Group (NAG) and the University of Manchester.
Why attend?
Linear algebra is an important part of many actuarial calculations. But the standard textbook formulae do not always provide the best way to carry out computations with large or ill conditioned matrices. Moreover, when computations are carried out in finite precision arithmetic, and when the data has large uncertainties, the computed results are not always satisfactory. In the worst cases poor results can be obtained without any indication that something has gone wrong.
John Holden will talk briefly about:
- Numerical software and tools for the actuarial community
- NAG and its collaboration with the University of Manchester
Professor Nicholas Higham will deliver the keynote talk. He will discuss three topics:
- How to compute the nearest correlation matrix to an "almost correlation matrix", one having some small negative eigenvalues due to incomplete underlying data.
- Why matrix inversion can and should usually be avoided.
- How to compute a p'th root of a matrix for some positive integer p. with particular attention to stochastic matrices.
Who should attend?
The seminar is aimed at actuaries, whose roles include a major component of developing, supervising or using numerical and statistical software within or outside the Financial Services industry.

MS Dynamics CRM 3.0
The fact is that the ANTHRAX mailer was a WASP BASTARD being covered up by the YANK Bastards at FBI. Mueller is DAMN Incompetent and Coward. Bush's Crimes against the Nation tower far higher than those of NIXON. Long time ago, when FBI had a competent and PATRIOTIC chief, he was able to get the NIXON BASTARD out of the office and exiled to China.
If I found out some five FOOLISH PATSIES, Immigrants under mental or social imbalance were planning a STUPID and IDIOTIC operation, I would confront them with courtesy. I would tell them that this is a foolish act. That I, a white FBI officer am doing them a favor out of the goodness of my heart to not do such a foolish thing and give the YANK SOBs an excuse for genocide and stealing their oil wealth by PERPETUAL WAR of FAKE and SYNTHETIC TERROR.
Thats how a good school master would confront a few stupid kids and that is the way to solve this problem.
On the other hand, a HEINOUS and RACIST crime was committed in 911 CONTROLLED DEMOLITION as well as mailing those FAKE "Allah" letters with GENUINE ANTHRAX through out the country by a yank motherfucker related to the NATIONAL LABS and the ANGLO-SAXON-ZIONIST ESTABLISHMENT.
America is run by ANTI-CHRIST Fascists like Bush, Cheney, who have womanized profusely, as Bush. Neil Bush was involved in ADULTERY and so was NEWT GINGRICH. Then there are child molesters. Cheney's daughter is LESBIAN. These are out and out HYPOCRITES. They are FOOLING American people for their OWN luxuries and style of life. Killing them in Iraq. If you die for their lifestyle, you died as a DAMN FOOL.
1) Ask FBI criminal and incompetent bastards just one question: Where is the anthrax mailer? because that would lead to the Bush-Cheney- Crime syndicate.
2) The papers below are testimonials as well as extensive 911 footage and material on 911blogger.com and other 911 websites.
Research in Political Economy Copyright =A9 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved The Hidden History of 9-11-2001 Edited by: Paul Zarembka ISBN: 978-0-7623-1305-1
Part I: Hijackers - Who Were They? Pages 3-45 Jay Kolar
Inconsistencies and contradictions in the US government's story of hijackers and their masterminds are examined to account for what happened on 9-11. A little-known initial FBI list of 19, scrutinized for four names not on its final list, calls into question the FBI naming process. We discovered 11 of the FBI-named finalists could not have been on those planes, with 10 still alive and another's identity improvised by a double. The Dulles videotape, essentially the government's case that hijackers boarded the 9-11 flights, is found to have serious problems including authentication, as does the so-called bin Laden "confession" video.
Were "hijackers" known to be in the US before intelligence alleges it knew? Evidence is examined which shows that they were closely monitored by agencies which denied this knowledge; in particular, an undercover FBI agent lived with them the prior year.
Noting government refusal to disclose evidence called for by investigators, we find some pieces altered or fabricated and others confiscated or destroyed. Other revelations point to hijackers with national security overrides, protection in their alternate roles as drug traffickers, and deep political connections with government elites. We investigate patterns, reminiscent of historical intelligence involvement, revealing the presence of a covert intelligence operation disguised as an outside enemy attack.
Part II: The Morning of 9-11-2001 4. Initiation of the 9-11 Operation, with Evidence of Insider Trading Beforehand Pages 49-77 Paul Zarembka
This chapter first examines evidence concerning departures of the four flights out of Boston, D.C., and Newark, including identifications of the aircrafts involved, some evidence regarding the flight paths, and then the hijackings. Alleged video evidence at airports for the hijackers themselves is examined, but found to be unacceptable.
The fact of a conspiracy is uncontested by all. Three alternative conspiracy possibilities regarding the planes are examined: the 'official' one of suicide hijackers skillfully guiding planes with steeled determination into targets (independent of the hijackers' identities); use of beaconing or electronic control, similar to ordinary commercial landings, into the targets; and use of 'drone' airplanes. The third alternative is not supportable at this time, but the other two are possible explanations, not necessarily equally likely.
The issue of insider trading before 9-11 is addressed. Publicly available data from OptionMetrics are provided and analyzed, indicating that many early reports were not using accurate data. Turning to an academic study in the Journal of Business which relies upon confidential, superior data, the findings are summarized that, indeed, there is evidence of insider trading before 9-11 on American Airlines and United Airlines. Larger concerns of insider trading are also summarized. Lastly, we give brief consideration to the profits certain capitalists make out of 9-11.
5. The Destruction of the World Trade Center: Why the Official Account Cannot Be True Pages 79-122 David Ray Griffin
I argue that the official story about the collapses of the Twin Towers and building 7 of the World Trade Center, according to which the collapses were caused by fire - combined, in the case of the Twin Towers, with the effects of the airplane impacts - cannot be true, for two major reasons. One reason is that fire has never, except allegedly three times on 9/11, caused the total collapse of steel-frame high- rise buildings. All (other) such collapses have been produced by the use of explosives in the procedure known as "controlled demolition." The other major problem is that the collapses of all three buildings had at least 11 features that would be expected if, and only if, explosives had been used.
I also show the importance of the recently released of 9/11 Oral Histories recorded by the New York Fire Department. With regard to the Twin Towers, many of the firefighters and medical workers said they observed multiple explosions and other phenomena indicative of controlled demolition. With regard to building 7, many testimonies point to widespread foreknowledge that the building was going to collapse, and some of the testimonies contradict the official story that this anticipation of the building's collapse was based on objective indications. These testimonies further strengthen the already virtually conclusive case that all three buildings were brought down by explosives.
I conclude by calling on the New York Times, which got the 9/11 Oral Histories released, now to complete the task of revealing the truth about 9/11.
6. The Military Drills on 9-11: "Bizarre Coincidence" or Something Else? Pages 123-145 Four Arrows (aka Don Jacobs)
Short-term military simulations of scenarios or conditions that U.S. military personnel might meet are generally the largest, in terms of cost and personnel, of all operational training events. That at least six such exercises were scheduled for September 11, 2001 raises serious questions about whether or not the events of 9/11 were at least partially orchestrated by U.S. command.
In light of the aforementioned military exercises and the fact that the 9/11 Commission's Final Report barely mentions them, neither were they significantly discussed nor investigated during the hearings, this essay briefly explores four key questions that will hopefully stimulate further inquiries, investigations and perhaps subpoenas that will ultimately break the silence and force declassification of the information surrounding the war games.
1) Has there been a high-level suppression of information about the military drills?
2) Might the military drills have been a significant factor in the success of the attacks?
3) Who was in charge of the military drills and what motives may have been operating for this person?
4) In what way might Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the United States for the attacks, be a link that connects to the person in charge of the games to another tragedy that may have been "an inside job" - i.e. Senator Paul Wellstone's death, and how might Moussaoui connect all of this to the Pentagon?
Part III: The Context of 9-11-2001 and Meaning for the Future 7. Terrorism and Statecraft: Al-Qaeda and Western Covert Operations after the Cold War Pages 149-188 Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed
Al-Qaeda is conventionally portrayed as a monolithic, hierarchical organization whose activities - coordinated by the network's leader Osama bin Laden - are the source of international terrorism today. Al- Qaeda is considered a radical tendency within the broader Islamist Salafi movement, legitimizing its terrorist operations as a global Islamist jihad against Western civilization. Al-Qaeda's terrorist activity today is considered, "blowback" from long finished CIA and western covert operations in Afghanistan.
The conventional wisdom is demonstrably false. After the Cold War, Western connections with al-Qaeda proliferated around the world, challenging mainstream conceptions of al-Qaeda's identity. Western covert operations and military - intelligence connections in strategic regions show that "al-Qaeda" is a network whose raison d'etre and modus operandi are inextricably embedded in a disturbing conglomerate of international Western diplomatic, financial, military and intelligence policies today. US, British, and Western power routinely manipulates al-Qaeda through a complex network of state-regional and human nodes. Such manipulation extended directly to the 9-11 hijackers, and thus to the events of 9-11 itself.1

AMHERST, NY- - Friends of Alix Rice gathered at Margaret Louise Park in Getzville Monday night to make tie-dye shirts in honor of their former classmate.
The event, which was called "Justice for Alix", was started by two students at Williamsville North who had been in Alix's chorus class. They said that about 30 people participated in the event by giving $2 for materials to make the shirts and that many more made donations. Students who made shirts plan to wear them to school on Wednesday in remembrance of Alix's life.
Alix's friends said that she frequently wore tie-dye and that her dress code was indicative of her personality. She was vibrant, full of life and happy to help someone if they were having a bad day. Due to Alix's love of tie-dye and lively personality, students at Williamsville North thought tie-dye would be an appropriate way to remember their friend.
Those present at the park said that the event was more about remembering Alix's life than about resenting Dr. James Corasanti. However, students also said that the event has reminded them about the dangers of drinking and driving. Alix's friends said that students drive by Alix's memorial on Heim Road every day due to its proximity to the school, and that every time they drive by they are reminded to think twice before drinking and stepping behind the wheel of a car.
Students running the event plan to donate any extra money the event generates to Mother's Against Drunk Driving.

An important bookone that will take a significant place in the scholarly literature on the antislavery movement and the coming of the Civil War.James M. McPherson, Princeton University
Slavery and the Commerce Power fills a major crack in interpretive arguments over Lincoln, the nature of the Constitution, the slave trade, and the coming of the Civil War. This book will be a standard in each of these areas, and no one interested in any of them can ignore Lightners interpretations.Kermit Hall, president, State University of New York at Albany
Top Seller in U.S. History as compiled by YBP Library Services
"In his rich, nuanced reading of his sources, Lightner demonstrates the importancebeyond just the 'commerce power'of what one might call 'constitutional anti-slavery.'"Gregory E. O'Malley, The New England Quarterly
"Offers an important new dimension to our understanding of sectional tensions. . . . [Lightner's] narrative and analysis are detailed, nuanced, and passionately argued."Michael A. Morrison, Civil War History
"A valuable analysis of the American Civil War. . . . This interesting study will be used by scholars and general readers with pleasure and profit for some time to come. Lightner's specific conclusions will become part of the general explanation for the coming of America's defining moment. At the same time, his broader interpretations will be added to the crowded arena of Civil War debate where its solid foundation in contemporary research will ensure its continued viability."Gordon B. McKinney, Enterprise and Society
"[An] important new study. . . . A valuable contribution to our growing understanding of how the domestic slave trade influenced secession and the Civil War."Steven Deyle, Project Muse

However, the woman turned out to be the man's new wife.
Police said they arrested the 49-year-old man and 46-year-old woman Tuesday night at a hotel on charges related to the meth lab and outstanding warrants.
Officers said when they first tried to talk to the man, he attempted to jump from a third-story window before retreating into his hotel room. Police said the suspect then told officers he had a hostage, and his meth lab would explode if they came in.
Authorities said police negotiators convinced the couple to turn themselves in after more than six hours.

There's a new sound on the sports fields at Cape Cod Academy. Along with the pop of tennis balls and the clicking of clashing lacrosse sticks is the call of "hey batter! Good eye, now, good eye."
At the end of the first game of the season for the Cape Cod Academy girls varsity lacrosse team, it was hard to tell who was more excited about their 19-17 win against Barnstable, head coach Lauren Gaudet or her players.
As I walked into City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers at just after 8 a.m. on April Fools Day, it was easy to understand where the Field of Dreams notion came from.

HOOVER, TEXAS (Gray County). Hoover, near the Roberts county line in northern Gray County, was named for Harvey E. Hoover, a prominent lawyer and landowner of Canadian. It began in 1887 as a switch on the Panhandle and Santa Fe Railway. E. D. McClain became postmaster after an office was granted in January 1910. It was discontinued in 1914 but reestablished the following year. By then Hoover had become a livestock shipping point with a population of twenty-five. By 1930 the town had three businesses and two churches. Oil discoveries in the area during the early 1930s brought more people to Hoover. Its population reached seventy-five by the mid-1940s. For several years the town sponsored a boy scout troop. Hoover declined as a result of Pampa's growth. In 1972 the post office was discontinued, and only the general store remained in business. In 1980 Hoover reported a population of thirty-five and no businesses. A grain elevator, erected in 1954, continued to be used during harvest season. The population in 1990 was recorded as five. The population remained the same in 2000.
