President Barack Obama will address both chambers of Congress Thursday to unveil his plan to create jobs, but not everyone plans to attend.
Despite buzz that Congress might ring in a new era of bipartisanship by choosing "prom night" seating for the speech -- crossing aisle to sit with members of the other party -- some Republicans are threatening to boycott the speech altogether. Their reasons range from opposition to what they call a "political speech" to a desire not to miss the first football game of the NFL season.
Having a number of members skip a president's joint address is not unprecedented, however. The last time was in January 1999, when multiple members -- led by Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert -- skipped President Bill Clinton's State of the Union, feeling that is was "disrespectful" to a Congress in the middle of an impeachment process. Rep. William Clay skipped George H. W. Bush's 1992 address because he didn't want to deal with long commute home late at night.
In 1971, the Congressional Black Caucus boycotted one of Richard Nixon's State of the Union addresses because they felt he was ignoring the black community's needs. Members have missed various joint addresses by foreign dignitaries as well.
A slideshow of some of the notable Republicans who are planning to skip Obama's jobs speech is below:
Disgraced Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) announced that he would be skipping the president's speech to watch the New Orleans Saints' first NFL game of the season -- despite the fact that kickoff is not until 8:30 p.m. ET, while the president will begin his address at 7 p.m. When asked by Fox News why he's skipping the speech, Vitter said: "As a fanatic, I have my priorities."
Tea Party favorite Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) won't be at the speech. His complaint is that he was not provided a written copy ahead of time. DeMint told ABC News "If he sent a written proposal over first, I would go hear him explain it, but frankly right now I'm so frustrated I don't think I'm going to go."
Freshman Republican and cable news regular Joe Walsh of Illinois was the first to declare he would be backing out of the event. "Instead of being a prop of another one of the president's speeches, next Thursday I will fly home to IL to talk to real job creators," Walsh tweeted. Walsh also accused Obama is abusing his power. "There is no reason for him to call a joint session of Congress," Walsh said on MSNBC. "We reserve that for heads of state, for dignitaries around the world and presidents in moments in crisis, and monumental moments."
Outgoing congressman and current GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul said through a spokesman he doesn't plan to attend Obama's jobs speech Thursday. Paul is not unknown to criticize presidents of both parties, but even his son, Tea Party favorite Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), is tentatively planning on attending Obama's speech.
Instead of attending the president's speech, Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) is planning to host a tele-town hall event in his office across the street from the Capitol. Broun told CBS News that it's a better use of his time to hear from constituents than sit in the House listening to the president. Broun's spokesperson told Yahoo! News that the congressman "looks forward to hearing the president's proposal for job creation."
Sen. David Vitter isn't the only one who plans to put NFL football ahead of the president. WTMJ-TV, an NBC affiliate in Wisconsin said they will be airing pre-game coverage of the Green Bay Packers' season opener instead of Obama's speech. Coincidentally, this is the same game Vitter will be watching, as the Packers play against the New Orleans Saints. The station will air the president's speech on its digital channel for those who have access to it, but not the main one. Steve Wexler, the station's executive vice president of television & radio operations, told Talking Points Memo that there were "no political motivations whatsoever" in their decision to give football a higher priority over the country's commander-in-chief.

Clear the air: Reducing VOC emissions from your business
Grants available Winter of 2015!
Sign up for the newsletter or visit this website to stay tuned.
Are you a small-business interested in reducing emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) throughout their facilities? VOCs can be reduced by making changes to manufacturing processes and heating equipment, and through facility-wide opportunities such as reducing vehicle miles traveled, purchasing environmentally friendly supplies and improving energy efficiency.
If you have been thinking about reducing your VOC emissions, you can receive notifications on upcoming assistance opportunities by signing up for emails.
Reducing VOC emissions has positive health impacts for your employees, the general population, and potentially your bottom line. The reductions can help you:
- Save money by reducing hazardous waste disposal fees, lowering regulatory obligations, and using fewer chemicals
- Provide a healthier environment for your employees and community
- Improve worker productivity and retention and reduce absenteeism
- Use less protective equipment.
Auto body / Industrial Coating
Auto body shops / Industrial coaters: Reduce VOCs
- Switch to waterborne or powder coating paint system
- Replace spray guns, cleaning equipment, etc. with equipment that has better transfer efficiency (e.g., electrostatic guns)
- Install recycling equipment for petroleum-based solvents and parts cleaners
- Work with your supplier to purchase alternative solvents
- Consider purchasing efficient vehicles for your fleet
- Evaluate energy efficiency options in your business (e.g., electronics, lighting, heating/cooling systems)
- Reduce vehicle miles traveled by using public transit or other alternative commuting options
For more specific ideas and to find auto refinishing events that focus on reducing VOCs visit the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program
Dry cleaners
Dry cleaners: Reduce VOCs
Change cleaning technologies
- GreenEarth is liquid silicone-based
- Wet cleaning uses only water-based and alternative solutions and systems
- Liquid CO2 is nontoxic and noncombustible
- Save money by reducing regulatory requirements and lowering hazardous waste fees
- Reduced employee health risks associated with exposure to perchloroethylene (perc)
- Increased business with advertisement of "green" dry cleaning
Capital costs
- Wet cleaning machine: $12,000-$37,000 (30-50 lb. capacity)
- Finishing equipment: similar to traditional equipment, approximately $6,000-$12,000
- Liquid CO2 machine: Up to $90,000 more than perc machine
- Training employees to use new equipment and procedures
Upgrade equipment
- Refrigerated condensers: Can be added to a nonrefrigerated dry-to-dry machine, reduces perc approximately 40-50% annually. Installed costs: $10,000.
- Carbon adsorption units: May be added to refrigerated dry-to-dry machines to achieve greater perc recovery. Machines with refrigerated condensers work so well at recovering perc that adding a carbon adsorber for a newer machine may not be cost effective. The old carbon adsorbers, or sniffers, required a high level of maintenance. New carbon units, which desorb with heat after refrigeration, are less costly to operate and do not produce large quantities of contact water from steam use. Carbon adsorbers may be required to meet the NESHAP standards.
Other ways to cut emissions
- Source lower VOC products and supplies for use around the building (paint, adhesives, carpet, furniture, etc)
- Purchase efficient vehicles for your fleet
- Implement energy efficiency options in your business (e.g., electronics, lighting, heating/cooling systems)
- Reduce vehicle miles traveled by using public transit or other options at your business
- Encourage employees to use alternative commuting options
- Reduce use of lawn maintenance equipment with alternative landscaping techniques
- Purchase lower VOC cleaning solutions for general maintenance cleaning
- Purchasing paper products with higher recycled content indirectly reduces VOC emissions
Printers: Reduce VOCs
Chemical alternatives
- Most VOCs come from solvents to clean presses and use in parts washers. Work with your supplier to switch to cleaning solvents with the lowest VOC content or vapor pressure possible (<10 mmHg or above 140 degree flashpoint).
- Use inks, coatings, and adhesives with the lowest VOC content possible.
- Reduce the concentration of VOC-containing additives when using alcohol substitutes.
- Institute a three-stage cleaning process.
- Switch to digital print presses.
- Look at solvent recycling systems for petroleum-based solvents and parts cleaners
- Explore lower VOC cleaning solutions for general (non-press) cleaning.
Other ways to cut emissions
- Purchase more efficient vehicles for your fleet
- Reduced use of lawn maintenance equipment with alternative landscaping techniques.
- Evaluate energy efficiency options in your business (e.g., electronics, lighting, heating/cooling systems)
- Purchase fuel efficient vehicles or aim for reduced vehicles miles traveled by carpooling and other alternative commuter options.
- Source lower VOC products and supplies for use around the building (paint, adhesives, carpet, furniture, etc)
- Reduce vehicle miles traveled by using public transit or other options at your business
- Encourage employees to use alternative commuting options
- Reduce use of lawn maintenance equipment with alternative landscaping techniques
- Purchasing paper products with higher recycled content indirectly reduces VOC emissions
Case Study: Clear Lake Press goes green
Clear Lake Press, a national printer in Waseca, has all but eliminated hazardous chemicals, making work safer for employees and the environment by switching to vegetable and water-based cleaners and fluid in their parts washer, reducing paper consumption by 40 rolls each month, and reusing their pallets. As a result, Clear Lake Press has:
- Saved money by buying less paper and lowering its hazardous waste license fees

Gas stations
Gas stations: Reduce VOCs
Example: Stage 1 Vapor Recovery
Stage I vapor recovery captures vapors, known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), released when gas is put into the underground storage tank. The vapors are returned to the truck instead of being released into the air.
- Limits the escape of VOCs that contribute to air pollution
- Improves employee and customer health
- Positive publicity for your business
There are two kinds of Stage I systems: Single Point (coaxial) and Dual Point.
Single point (Coaxial) systems have one tank opening that transfers both fuel and vapors. This is usually accomplished by installing a 3-inch diameter drop tube inside the 4-inch fill pipe, creating a gap between the drop tube and the fill pipe that vapors can pass through.
Dual point systems use two separate tank openings for delivery and vapor recovery. The first is the fill-port drop tube where a hose from the tanker transfers fuel to the storage tank. The vapor recovery port is called a "dry break" (commonly painted orange) and it consists of a riser and a spring-loaded poppet valve. During fuel delivery, a vapor recovery device is attached to the dry break which automatically opens the poppet valve. The vapor return hose routes the vapors from the tank through the dry break and back to the tanker.
Other vapor reduction options
Dripless nozzles
Can reduce drips or spillage up to 60%
Low-permeability hoses at the pump
- Similar cost to other gasoline dispensing hoses
- Potential to reduce emissions at the hose up to 96%
Equipment needed
- Coaxial drop tube or a fill-pipe drop tube (for two-point systems) extending within 6" of the bottom of each tank to ensure that the drop tube opening is submerged when the tank is filled
- Tightly fitting fill cap on each fill pipe
- For two-point systems, a properly functioning dry break (poppet valve) that seals the vapor return line when not in use
- Pressure/vacuum valves on the tank vent lines to prevent emission of gasoline vapors from the tank

I'm 19w4d. I'm 38 years old and up until about 1.5 years ago, I led a very sedentary lifestyle-hardly any exercise at all. About 1.5 years ago, I developed an exercise plan and gradually built up my workouts to a level I could handle. Before I got pregnant, I was exercising 3-4 times a week, cardio for 30-40 minutes. I continued this for the first 6 weeks of my pregnancy, then got extreme nausea and lightheadedness that lasted until 16 weeks. Once the morning sickness passed, I started to exercise again, but since I'd taken a break, I started out really slow, only walking 3-4 times a week for about 15-20 minutes. Yesterday, I attempted to walk a little faster and for a slightly longer time (about 25 minutes). I ended up getting what felt like BH contractions (it was a tightening in my lower abdomen, but it didn't come and go, it was just kind of tight for the last half of my walk). Also, my feet swelled. I've been noticing my feet swelling slightly for the past few days, making my shoes tight, especially towards the end of the day. Also, some slight swelling in my fingers. When I finished my walk yesterday, I laid down for a bit, but the swelling only eased up a little, and now it's coming on earlier today. I also felt extremely tired all last evening. The tightening in my lower abdomen went away almost immediately upon lying down and didn't come back. A friend of mine suggested that I call my doctor's office, but I don't want to do that unless I find out that it could be something serious. I've searched all over BBC and cannot find anything to indicate that mild to moderate swelling could indicate a serious health issue. Has anyone experienced this? Or, does anyone know if it's normal for a person who used to be in pretty good shape to not be able to exercise much during pregnancy? I almost feel like even a fast-paced walk is overdoing it.
Can anyone help? (Sorry, long post)

I'm 38 also and was working out a lot before pregnancy. The first trimester was hard on me, too, plus I had a sprained ankle. I'm back to it now and find that I do get more winded than I did previously. If I'm at the gym, I try to keep an eye on my heartrate to make sure it's not getting too high. It's definitely something you should do when you're exercising.
Have you been drinking enough water? I do notice I have more issues when I'm not. I've noticed a little swelling in my hands here and there. It usually goes away pretty quickly though.
If you keep having issues, definitely contact your OB. It never hurts to get an answer directly from the expert.
Make sure you are drinking enough water, that could cause the BH and the swelling, especially if you have started exercising. You need extra water on top of what is required if you are exercising.

I'm 35 and have the same things. I know I had both issues with DD as well, when I was 30. I do try to take it a bit easier with the exercise while I'm pregnant, not getting totally out of breath. With my first, I exercised hard the whole time and was able to keep it up a lot farther into the pregnancy due to only having mild morning sickness. THis time around MS was severe and now that I"m back to exercising I have to take it easy. I think it's pretty normal, but definitely drink ltos of fluids and call your OB if you're at all concerned!

He meticulously documents three and half centuries of the American experience -- from colonial days to the present -- and tells how the nation's natural abundance has been the engine of growth, forming the national character reflecting a belief in expanded opportunity. We have far more than our ancestors could have dreamed of -- more material goods, better health, greater access to information and a greater ability to use it.
He observes that the earlier belief that America is the exceptional society, as Abraham Lincoln expressed it at Gettysburg, has been badly ruptured by recent historians who focus only on the nation's flaws, poisoning an entire generation of students.
Over the past four decades, historians have catalogued the details of our devils, attempting to exile the better angels of our nature to the trash bin. Teachers have recast a "shining city on the hill" to a befouled environment where Indians were murdered, Africans enslaved, workers repressed, immigrants exploited. The unique American enthusiasm to right wrongs is overlooked or ignored as unimportant.
Fischer is something of a "fellow traveler" with Alexis de Tocqueville, finding the 19th century Frenchman's insights into American "volunteerism" -- an ability to sustain individualism in social groups -- as the key to progress: "Equality in the American context is not equality of outcome, but equality of opportunity, treatment and freedom."
The Founding Fathers were educated men smart enough to draw on the sentiments and innate sense of justice of the common (and uneducated) man for support. Americans have had the willingness to mingle comfortably in neighborhood, regional and ethnic groups, charitable and political institutions that cut across economic lines. What enables cohesion is the "can-do" attitude of self-reliance.
The most recent phenomenon that illustrates this thesis is the explosion of the tea parties. Their rugged, ragged organizing principles have forged alliances similar to those of the early American colonists who worked toward the common goal of limited government organized to guarantee maximum individual liberty. The tea parties are moving the debate today, reminding us of the vitality of our own democracy. There's nothing faux about that.

Photos in Panoramio can be uploaded from your computer or transferred from your Picasa Web Albums or Google+ accounts.
There are no storage limitations in Panoramio for geoposiotioned photos. For other kinds of photos, we may enforce a 2 Gbyte limit in the total storage size. There is a current limit of 25 MBytes or 50 Mpixels per photo. Please resize a photo if it's larger than 25 MBytes or 50 Mpixels. Make sure you follow the Panoramio Photo Policy when uploading photos in Panoramio.
To upload a photo, you'll first need to be registered. If you haven't registered yet, now is the time to sign up for Panoramio. If you are already registered:
After selecting the photos you want to Upload to Panoramio you will be able to add titles, comments, tags and map them while the uploading process is completing. You will also be able to see the progress of the upload of each photo in the progress bar.
You may have already uploaded your photos into your Picasa Web Albums or Google+ accounts. If your Picasa Web Albums or Google+ accounts are associated to the same Google Account as your Panoramio account, you can import those photos to Panoramio as follows:
After selecting the photos you want to upload to Panoramio you will be able to add titles, comments tags and map them while the uploading process is completed. If the photos had titles or were already mapped, this will be imported to Panoramio as well.
To import photos from Picasa Web Albums or Google+, Show my photo locations to others needs to be enabled. Check the Map location visibility documentation to learn how to enable this feature.
Similarly to the import feature you can also export your Panoramio photos to Picasa Web Albums and Google+.
To export your photos to Google+ go to Settings and under the section Google+ Settings click on the Export photos to my Google+ profile checkbox, and click on the button Save changes.
Here is what happens when you turn the export on:
Some important points to remember:
When mapping a photo, you can tell us where you were when you took the photo ("Photographer position"), what place the photo is about ("Place", only if the photo has a clear subject), and whether the photo was taken inside of a building or not ("Indoors").
The combination of the three mapping properties will provide the position values to your photo. By providing the three properties, you will have higher chances to have your photo selected for a Look Around, or shown in a Place Page in Google Maps, as well as the new map views in www.panoramio.com/map for Places and Indoor images.
You do not need to wait until the photos are completely uploaded in Panoramio to map them, as multiple photos can be mapped at the same time. To map a photo do one of the following:
Adding a Photographer position: In the mapping dialog you can perform three actions to add a photographer position to a photo:
On the left panel of the mapping dialog you will see miniatures of all the images that are available for you to map at this point in time. One of the images will always be highlighted which indicates which photo you are currently working on. If you click on the miniature image with the mouse, hold the left button of the mouse and drag the photo to the map to the place you would like it to be mapped to. When you are satisfied that the image is at the correct position you can simply release the image (by releasing the left mouse button).
Before dragging and dropping the photo to the map, you may want to position the map to the place where the photo was taken. You can use the Search box on top of the map and the controls on the left of the map to do so.
If you click on the map with the left button of the mouse, the selected photo will be mapped to that position.
If the address that you enter in the Search box (located on the top of the map for photos that have not yet been mapped) is specific enough, then the selected photo will be instantly mapped.
You can also instantly map a photo by entering the exact coordinates where you took the photo. Here are two examples showing how you could enter the coordinates:
Associating a place to a photo: Photos that have a "Photographer position" associated will have the option to be snapped to a place. This means your photo will be associated to the place you captured in the exposure on top of being mapped to the place where you took it. By snapping a photo to a place you will make it more relevant and the photo will be shown in the Places map.
On the mapping dialog below the photographer's position there is a search box for the subject of the photo. If you want to snap a photo to a place (e.g. Empire State Building), type it in the search box and click enter.
If you made a mistake or change your mind you can unsnap the photo from a place by clicking on the cross on the right hand side of the selection.
Another way to associate a photo to a place is using the little purple squares on the map. If you mouse over the squares a dialog will tell you the name of the place. Click on the squares to snap your photo to the place. Click on the cross on the right hand side of the place if you associated it to the wrong place. You will see that the small purple square changes to a bigger red square when you successfully associated your photo.
Indoor photos: Photos can be taken from outside a building or from inside a building. While the Google Earth acceptance policy only allows Indoor photos of public places with a wide perspective, we thought that there is many other details you may want to photograph. It is for this reason that we have created a new Indoor map, to sponsor all those beautiful images. Click in the Indoor check-box from the mapping dialog to define your photo as Indoor.
When a digital camera saves a photo, it also saves some additional information, such as camera settings, date, shutter speed, or scene information. This data is saved in an exchangeable image file (EXIF) format. Some cameras have GPS receivers or can accept external GPS connectors, so that they can store the geolocation information with a photo. You can also process photos before uploading them to Panoramio to add geolocation information to the EXIF data, using hardware or software solutions.
If you have geocoded a photo before uploading it, you don't have to map it in Panoramio: the information contained with the photo lets Panoramio automatically map the photo. If you manually map a photo that's already geocoded, the manual mapping overrides the geolocation information and the original geolocation information is lost.
Modern browsers see EXIF information as soon as you select the file in the uploading process. Older browsers need to wait until the photo has been completely uploaded. Please refer to the Browser compatibility section for more information about browsers.
Titles, comments and tags can be added to your photos while your photos are being uploaded to Panoramio.
We display (only to you) the original name of the photo that you decided to upload to Panoramio. If you do not take any action we will not keep this original name and the photo will not have a title.
If you want to add a title click in the box where the original name is displayed and enter a title that describes the photo. After changing the title of the photo you just need to press Enter on the keyboard or click anywhere on the screen with the mouse and the title will be saved.
Remember that you can always change the title of the photo from the photo page later on.
You can also add a title to your photos by adding it to the EXIF of the photo before uploading. If your photo contains the title information and you do not modify the title field wile uploading the photo, the uploader will respect the information and show the title in your photo page.
Tagging photos helps you organizing your photos and makes them more discoverable in Panoramio, so you will gain more exposure for your photos by tagging them.
As with mapping and with titles you can tag your photos while they are being uploaded.
After selecting the photo that you want to upload to Panoramio, you will see the "Add tags+" link under the "Add a comment..." field for each photo you are uploading in the upload session. This link will give you the option to select either Suggested tags and Your tags.
Suggested tags will suggest different tags regarding time and location during the Panoramio upload.
Your tags will provide you the whole list of tags that you are already using in other photos in Panoramio.
You may want to use the same tag for all the photos you are uploading in the same upload session. On the right side of the uploader you will see a section called "Tag all the photos". Tag all the photos will also provide you with the option to select between Suggested tags and Your tags.
For more information on how to add and manage your tags once the upload process is concluded, please refer to the Tagging Photos section.
You may want to add a better description of your photo than a one line title. In this case you can click on "Add a description...".
Photo descriptions can be as long as you want, and they are great to understand what the photo is about and extra information about the place it was taken. The first 5 lines are displayed under the photo to your visitors, and they can decide to expand them to read the whole content.
If you do not have the time or the information needed, or simply want to modify or add extra information to the description of your photo later on, you can do so from the photo page. Make sure you are signed in to Panoramio and go to the photo page of the photo you want to add or edit the description. You will find the description field just under the photo. Click on "Add a description..." if you want to add a new description, or click on the existing description if you want to modify the existing description. Click on "Save" when done to save the changes.
The Panoramio Photo Explorer, which you can access by clicking on a photo thumbnail in the photo page, includes a panorama viewer with support for high-resolution images and for spherical panoramas.
The panorama viewer lets you pan and zoom a large photo. If you use a high-resolution camera, the resulting images have more resolution than can be shown in a computer screen. With this viewer you can see the whole picture at once, or zoom into a particular area to see the details in high resolution.
The panorama viewer can also be used for "stitched flat panoramas". These are high-resolution images that are made by combining multiple lower-resolution images pointing into the same direction.
You do not need to do anything when uploading this kind of photos. The viewer will activate automatically after a delay when you are in the Photo Explorer.
The panorama viewer can also be used for partial cylindrical panoramas, where you take multiple photos while turning around and then combine the photos into a long, narrow horizontal strip (this is what most people call "panoramas"). Again, you don't have to do anything to enable this mode, neither when uploading nor when viewing. However you will need special software (sometimes called "stitching software"), or a special function in your camera, to combine the photos into a single large image that you can upload.
There is no support for full cylindrical panoramas, where after reaching the "left" end of the strip the image would automatically continue into the "right" end of the strip.
The panorama viewer can be used for spherical panoramas. A spherical panorama shows you a view in all directions around the observer, including up and down, as if the photo were a sphere instead of a rectangle, and the observer were at the center.
In this case, you need to take multiple photos that cover every direction around you—front, back, left, right, up, and down. Normally, six photos will not be enough, you will also need to cover the spaces between these six directions. To make these panoramas you will also need special software (sometimes called "stitching software"), or a special function in your camera, to combine the photos into a single large image that you can upload. Once you have uploaded the photo, you need to click the "change photo settings" link in that photo's page and select "Spherical panorama".
Technically, the images uploaded for spherical panoramas need to be in equirectangular projection. This means that the top of the image corresponds to "looking up" (altitude of +90° in a horizontal coordinate system), the bottom of the image is "looking down" (altitude -90°), the left and right edges of the image are both "looking back" (azimuth -180° and +180° respectively), and the center of the image is "looking forward" (altitude 0° and azimuth 0°). The image can have any size, each row will be assumed to span 360° of azimuth, and each column will be assumed to span 180° of altitude.
If you take several photos while turning left and right and also turning up and down, but do not cover the whole sphere, and you make a stitched panorama out of it, this is technically a partial spherical panorama. Panoramio does not support these. If you only turned up and down a little, try using the option "Regular image" in the photo settings page, the result will probably still be good.
Both for regular images and for spherical panoramas, the panorama viewer makes it faster to view large images. It does this by downloading only the portions of the image that are really necessary, so you can start looking at the photo before all the pixels have been downloaded. To do this, Panoramio needs to prepare the photos, which takes between a few seconds and a couple of minutes. You do not need to do anything to activate the preparation, it happens automatically when a photo is uploaded. If the preparation has not finished, the panorama viewer will still work but the full detail of the photo will not be available.
We work very hard to make Panoramio and specifically our Uploader compatible with as many browsers as possible. Despite our efforts to remain as compatible as possible with all the existing browsers, there are some features that are only available on newer browsers that are not supported by older ones. It is for this reason that we recommend you to be always up to date with the version of the browser you use to access Panoramio.
To have the best experience possible with Panoramio we recommend you to use the following browsers:
Partially supported browsers:
These browsers will work well with the Panoramio Uploader. The only differences are that you will not be able to select multiple files at once, and mapping and visualisation of the photo thumbnails will not be possible as long as the photos have not been fully uploaded.
Non supported browsers:
Versions of Internet Explorer before 7.0 are not supported.
Visit the following links to download the latest version of your browser for the best browsing experience with Panoramio and on the web in general:
As soon as you've uploaded your photos to Panoramio you can view them on Panoramio's map, and in a local Google Earth KML file, where your photos appear as miniatures.
To view your photos on Panoramio's map:

- Filed Under
Gov. Haley Barbour's announcement this week that additional state budget cuts were "inevitable" in the wake of declining state revenues has brought the state to a difficult crossroads.
Barbour has pointed out - accurately - that Mississippi's budget woes will get worse this year and are likely to worsen again next year. That means that the current fiscal year which ends June 30, 2010, and the Fiscal Year 2011 that begins the next day will be among the most challenging and difficult in Mississippi history.
Simply put, Mississippi public officials must now choose between truly Draconian budget cuts even to key functions of state government like public education and public health care or a tax increase.
That choice looms in the teeth of a nasty recession and at a time of significant joblessness in the state.
Couple those facts with the election schedule and there is an obvious recipe for fiscal disaster.
With a statewide general election looming in 2011 that will have leaders jockeying for position in the fall of 2010, the fact of the matter is that the political prospects for a large-scale general tax increase are between slim and none.
Beyond the obvious political problems, the state's economy is such that an across-the-board tax increase would be ill-advised and difficult for Mississippians already struggling to make ends meet in a recession to absorb.
Yet without increases in the state's revenue stream, the only weapon in the hands of state leaders in balancing the state's budget is reducing or eliminating state programs or state jobs or both.
The state is also confronting a crying need to overhaul and upgrade the state's revenue collection system at the State Tax Commission.
In a thoughtful piece on the front of today's Perspective section, Mississippi Economic Policy Center director Ed Sivak suggests that a tax increase might not be as harmful to the state's economy as would additional budget cuts.
Specifically, Sivak focuses on an expansion of the state's existing sales tax rates to include items currently exempt from sales tax in the service-based segment of the economy. That tactic was in a broad sense recommended by the Governor's Tax Study Commission.
So was the notion of revisiting the thorny issue of sales tax exemptions. There has already been a strong suggestion that the Legislature will be looking at fee increases in some areas that can be passed along to the recipients of certain services from the state.
The bottom line is that state leaders face stunningly difficult choices over the next two years about taxing and spending in Mississippi. It is unlikely that solutions can be found that won't involve a combination of deep budget cuts and innovative new revenue sources.

1. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 13, 2012 4:29 AM (in response to passmaster16)
We are experiencing similar problems, except we upgraded from VSE 8.8 P1 to P2.
McAfee hangs shortly *after* the daily update process has completed, and all windows end up 'Not Responding' for about a minute and a half, after which we receive the same event log message as you and the system is fine.
This happens on a clean install as well, with VSE 8.8 P2 repost installed directly (no upgrade).
Will let you know if we get anywhere on our McAfee case, I think we are up to Level 4 on the escalation ladder now...!
Kind regards,
2. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 13, 2012 4:48 AM (in response to Minkus)
P.S. Some of the things already attempted to resolve:
- McAfee suggested excluding the files that are being scanned - but it is quite often different files on different PCs so this is no good.
- Setting up low/high risk policies as per https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=PD22940 - reduced the errors somewhat, but did not eliminate
- Increasing 'Maximum Scan Time' from 45 to 55 seconds - still no good (just increases the timeout from 90000ms to 110000ms in the event, making them hang for longer)
- Re-downloading our VSE 8.8 P2 and VSE 8.8 P2 Repost packages and reinstalling to a computer - didn't do any good
- Make sure 'Processes on Enable' is disabled, and that Artemis sensitivity is set to Medium - which they both are already.
I have also independently tried changing the DAT update time - ours is not using Global Updating but instead a task which is set to 'Run if missed' 10 minutes after the system boots. I tried changing this to 5 minutes in case it was conflicting with another system process but this didn't help.
We can see *very* clearly in the logs that the issue only occurred after Patch 2 was installed (the dates match up perfectly) but McAfee are insistent this is not the cause...
3. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT Updatepierce Nov 13, 2012 6:33 AM (in response to passmaster16)
Have you followed the best practice guides for VSE? I had terrible performance with VSE until I followed that and excluded a few more VSE exe's from being scanned. Might be worth a look to check your getting the best performance out of your systems.
4. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 13, 2012 6:45 AM (in response to passmaster16)
Yep, that's PD22940 described above. We've got pretty much all of this implemented already, certainly the performance related stuff. Didn't seem to do any good.
5. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT Updatepassmaster16 Nov 13, 2012 8:52 AM (in response to Minkus)
What's odd for us is that it does not occur on every machine. Only a few machines have the problem but we definitely did not see this until we upgraded our VSE 8.7 P5 to 8.8 P2. It just seems like there is some sort of contention that occurs when McAfee tries to scan the file system while there are other system processes locking the files. I don't believe excluding would help because it just seems like random files are causing the problem.
As far as the best practice guide, process on enable is turned off and we do not scan archives. Again it's the exact same configuration we had with 8.7 as we used the mgiration tool to move the policies over. I sent McAfee support a process monitor scan last week that they are currently analyzing.
6. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 14, 2012 4:53 AM (in response to passmaster16)
It may be related to what the user is doing on the system at the time - hence why only some machines are displaying the problem.
We also sent a Process Monitor scan across a couple of days ago and are waiting for a response.
Glad to hear it's not just us experiencing the problem!
7. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT Updatepassmaster16 Nov 26, 2012 2:36 PM (in response to Minkus)
Minkus - did you ever hear back from support? They sent me the following KB article https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB67648 to identify if the OAS was the cause of the problem which I already knew. Excluding the files from OAS scanning of course fixes the problem but I don't know that it really proves because it seems that most of the time a different process is responsible for the OAS conflict. I have a feeling that entering exclusions will just result in other processes contending with the OAS. They still have not commented on the procmon I sent.
8. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 27, 2012 6:22 AM (in response to passmaster16)
I got the same article, and also found that excluding all files works (at least the one time I tried) - but of course this doesn't prove anything and the problem is intermittent anyway.
Our event logs are very clear that the issue started occurring when we installed Patch 2, and once I pointed this out again and had a bit of a moan I got up to Tier III who are now investigating for me.
I would suggest you push this angle as well - if you can install 8.8 Patch 1 onto a machine, demonstrate that the problem does not occur, and then upgrade to 8.8 Patch 2 and demonstrate that it does, you may have better luck in convincing them to escalate.
Good luck!
9. Re: VSE 8.8 P2 Hangs System At DAT UpdateMinkus Nov 27, 2012 6:27 AM (in response to Minkus)
Further status update: The chap at Tier III has asked me to enable LogLevel 8 for McAfee Agent (KB56207), set up debug logging for VSE, set up etltrace, Process Monitor, and replicate the error. Once this is done I am hopeful it'll get up to the engineering level.
Will let you know how I get on.

Home / About Us / East Quad QR Code Project /
East Quad Public History and Memory Project
Welcome to the East Quadrangle and to The EQ Public History & Memory Project.
The project grew out of a special class on the history of the EQ taught by Residential College Professor Michelle McClellan in the Winter Term, 2012, as the overlapping communities that live and work in the quad were preparing the leave the site for the renovation (May 2012 to July 2013). The idea for the use of QR codes as a medium for public history was proposed by Matthew Meyer and Kristen Kovel. It has been brought to fruition by Rosie Levine, RC Class of 2014, with help from various members of the RC faculty, staff and alumni community. Levine's East Quad Memory Project began as an offshoot of McClellan's class: Space and Place: Historic Preservation of East Quad. "Throughout the course," Rosie writes, "we discussed the methods, theories and implementations of historic preservation. As the course continued I couldn't help but feel that action was in the community to preserve East Quad's memory and history than just discuss it hypothetically.
"What began as a small independent study project took on a life of its own as I began collecting memories, photos, experiences, and reflections from former RC students and East Quad residents. I was overwhelmed by the formative experiences people had in the very building I had lived in and called home for two years. Stories of friendship, classes, practical jokes, community and moreover – love for the building itself and what it provided.
"The East Quad Memory Project has provided both a place for people to come together and share their memories of East Quad as well as a way for current students to learn about the history of this space. When the plans for renovations to East Quad were announced – many students, faculty and alumni were concerned about the continuity of the RC experience, but it is clear from these memories and stories that the RC is much larger than the walls that house it."
You can access the wealth of information – and stories – about the EQ collected by Rosie here.
As the union of these two class-based assignments, The EQ Public History & Memory Project was formally launched in August 2013, just in time to celebrate the reopening of the East Quad – the New EQ – post-renovations. There are five QR Codes and corresponding web pages: Greene Lounge, The Benzinger Library, EQ Halls and Hallways, The Halfway Inn, and this brief introduction. These can be found in locations throughout the EQ. We hope to add more in the future. Please contact Cynthia Burton in the Residential College office with any contributions to this effort to preserve and share East Quad's history.

The term brass instrument is slightly misleading, as not all brass instruments are construed from brass. In fact the term is defined by the way the sound is made; where the player's lips vibrate against a mouthpiece, creating the noise which is then controlled by either valves or a slide. Within this category, you'll find Alto, Tenor & Baritone Horns, Bugles, Cornets, Euphoniums, Flugelhorns, French Horns, Marching Brass, Trombones, Trumpets and Tubas. We only stock the most trusted brands, including Allora Brass Instruments and Bach Brass Instruments. All of our brass instruments are supported by our price & satisfaction guarantees and free standard shipping applies to all orders except heavy items.

So, I think I kind of know where to go next with my game. I have a few things to change:
- Have fewer, but stronger enemies.
- Make the enemies slower.
- Add drops from enemies. Which makes sense 'cause you're supposed to be stealing your stuff from them.
- Maybe add some variety to the levels somehow, like a landscape-ish.
Hopefully I get all that done in the next two or three hours (or learn to sleep-code. Anyone got a tutorial for that?)

WASHINGTON — A freshman Democratic senator accused Barack Obama Tuesday of failing to provide presidential leadership on a worsening national deficit as the Democratic Senate leader charged that Republicans are trying to block an up-or-down vote on a GOP bill containing substantial budget cuts.
Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., called on Obama to lead "tough negotiations" on wrapping up last year's unfinished budget work and said that "right now, that is not happening."

SANTA FE – Four illegal foreign nationals, including the ring leader who is accused of charging $6,000 per individual to fraudulently obtain a New Mexico driver's license, have been indicted on felony criminal charges.
This is the sixth incident in the last seven months involving criminal operators bringing out-of-state illegal immigrants to New Mexico for the sole purpose of obtaining a license.
A Santa Fe grand jury last week returned indictments against ring leader Siraj A. "Sunny" Poonawala, 55.

Eyrie offers a portrait of Western Australia where the absurd wealth of the mining boom has seen the less fortunate forgotten about and environmental concerns hushed up. Its protagonist Tom Keeley is a disgraced do-gooder, living in exile after a very public meltdown. Cooped up in a low-rent high rise, Keeley soon discovers there is always further to fall.
Tim, I read Eyrie over the weekend and loved it. As a Perth boy myself, it felt like going back there for a holiday.
A holiday in hell!
Yeah, it's not a terribly flattering portrait. I've heard you say, when you're writing, the place always comes first. Was that the case here?
Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's a natural landscape or a cityscape. I don't know why. That's just how it works for me. The setting creates the story. It was a long time before I read any Goethe and his phenomenological idea about having to look and look and look at the same thing until eventually it reveals something of itself to you. There's wisdom and genius in that.
Is that why you keep revisiting WA as a setting? You're still looking at it until it reveals something new?
I don't know. I've lived in Fremantle for 15 or 20 years, I suppose. I've got a lot invested in the community. Kids, grandkids, a footy team. In terms of the writing of this book, when I was working on [previous novel] Breath, the house was too busy, so I got a workspace in a sort of high rise. There I was…
Peering down at the city.
Yeah. When you're a flatlander like me, a vertical environment does certain things to your head. You look down with this sort of objectifying gaze. People become creaturely from a distance. And the noise rises up. You hear these really intimate conversations, although you can't see who's speaking. After Breath, I realised I had all this stuff of a place and I got thinking about the way we live in this suburban, middle-class culture. We're separated from each other by our prosperity. Every man's in his castle in his car on his way to work. As a working class child who's become bourgeois, it was confronting to me how insulated you can become.
I wanted to talk about the class conflict the book raises. It's something we don't like to think exists in Australia. Somewhere like Perth, where there's a boom, it becomes harder to talk about the people left behind.
Class is the thing we're not allowed to talk about. That's the only form of political correctness the right will tolerate. To talk about class is breaking a taboo. We're not allowed to talk about class because that might mean that people who are unsuccessful are unsuccessful possibly for reasons that are beyond their control. A lot of middle class Australians are doing well on the back of the working poor. There are people living on the streets of Fremantle who are former boat people, former merchant mariners, former unskilled labourers, for whom there's no place in the new prosperity.
Did you feel a need to bring those people into the light with this book?
No, that makes it sound like I was writing with some purpose. I wouldn't mind doing that, but I don't think it would be accurate to describe my method like that.
There is a real sense of anger in Eyrie, focussed through Keeley.
I had to inoculate myself against that, because I was having to marinate in Keeley's anger for so long. You could do your head in. There wasn't any point in using the book to vent. I'm not Keeley. But I was watching friends in NGOs, watching people work in social housing, people helping the working poor, watching them in this doomed mission to get political and media attention on that stuff and watching them crash and burn. Here was a kind of a frustration and an opportunity to be in someone else's shoes, someone not just on the cusp of despair, but with two feet over the edge.
When we meet him, Keeley is in free fall.
He's in a state where he's absolved himself from all responsibility. His ranting — that's all the things you say when you've given up.
I know, like Keeley, you're a keen environmentalist. Is it hard to keep that up in the current climate? There's this new term: "green tape".
Green tape is just another hate word for environmental responsibility. It's interesting to have Keeley be a casualty of that hate, this counter reformation. For a while there, people had this idea that life could be bigger than the market, obviously that threatened power and they're seizing it back.
I started off by saying how much I loved Eyrie's portrait of Perth (and Fremantle), but as you said, it's a bit hellish. How do you think Perth readers will respond to this portrait?
I think, surely people must get tired of a romanticised portrait of home. You're always hardest on the things you love the most. I presume that people's surprise, irritation and indignation might be tempered by certain moments of recognition.

Fire and Ice (Large Print / Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Sophie Rose, a tough and determined newspaper reporter, is the daughter of Bobby Rose, a suave, charming, and handsome gentleman who also happens to be a notorious big-time thief sought by every law-enforcement agency in the country. When the major Chicago daily where she works insists she write an expose about her roguish father, Sophie refuses, quits her job, and goes to work at a small newspaper. Far from her onetime high-powered crime beat, she now covers local personalities such as the quirky winner of several area 5K runs whose trademark is goofy red socks.
Those red socks with Sophie's business card neatly tucked inside are practically all that's found after runner William Harrington's shredded corpse turns up in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, the victim of a mysteriously dramatic death by polar bear. With an unerring nose for a good story, Sophie heads north to Alaska.
What she doesn t realize is that her father's infamous reputation has spread even to the far reaches of Prudhoe Bay. Sophie's assigned a bodyguard Jack MacAlister, a sexy FBI agent who grudgingly takes the assignment while recovering from an on-duty injury. But they will soon be fighting more than growing passion.

The NASDAQ Regulation SHO list includes BOSC... short numbers will be released publicly on Thursday the 10th after 4 P.M. This confirms longs that you placed a correct bet and that only manipulative shorts took down BOSC. If the SEC wanted to clean up the NASDAQ all shorting would be disallowed. Even the non "Naked Shorting" has a dilution like effect since multiple people think they own the same shares.
The good news to the manipulative shorting is that now that BOSC is on the Regulation SHO list the buying to cover will start taking place. The stronger longs now buying will facilitate the "buying to cover". Buying to cover also moves the stock price higher especially in low floats. I would advise new longs to keep bids on both the NASDAQ and ARCA routes near the close and open to #1 get nice fill prices and #2 prevent closes like today (Friday) where it trades higher all day then a few hundred shares slip in a low sell because no sizable bids show on both routes blocking the shorts action. Think about it, BOSC traded lower on the close with little efforts on the shorts part and you could have bought those scarce shares cheap. Use "no show" NASDAQ selling (asks) and ARCA reserve selling a bit higher while showing large bids to combat shorts while showing buying enthusiasim that encourages more buyers. Walk it slow every day. Shorts fear this action. Educate yourselves longs and fear not the shorts. Remember shorts are afraid or they would not spam the message boards with reverse pumping.
Listed below is the NASDAQ current shares outstanding on common low float stocks to include BOSC... shares outstanding are all the shares that exist period. The float is the portion of the shares outstanding not held by insiders and institutions etc... BOSC's float is only said to be 400K.
BOSC 1,118,000 shares outstanding
GTIM 2,726,000 shares outstanding
CLNT 2,825,000 shares outstanding
As you can see BOSC is low even in comparison to other low floats that frequently breakout. This is one reason stronger hands are loading BOSC shares now. (because it moves easy)
In comparison regularly traded stocks with higher volume have these shares outstanding (only funds can move these):
GOOG 264,957,000 shares outstanding
ACAD 56,957,000 shares outstanding
MSFT 8,416,462,000 shares outstanding
When traders want to move the BOSC share price up all they do is over-cut the thin asking price with large bids getting partial fills while selling in a hidden pool what already filled, the remaining showing bid is still making the price move higher as the hidden sells occur. These are facts strong handed traders know. This is why they will return to BOSC they can move it and be at instant profit. The market makers will do this themselves if other traders don't.
Don't let the negative posting worry you, that's just from those who want to get your shares before the traders come back. Also strong handed traders have been buying BOSC for days now it takes time to get your shares away from you.
With a great earnings coming and a Regaining of NASDAQ compliance all while using increased bottom line to pay down debt traders will be all over BOSC once it starts running again and it will. The reason BOSC will breakout is the same as before after the reverse split. Because BOSC now has little downside and a large upside with low float. The reverse split gave investors the gift of a low float that causes buyers who know what was just posted to be true.
Obviously BOSC is doing well or they would not be paying down the debt as easily as they have.
Sentiment: Strong Buy
This is just the beginning of shorts being paid back
so far you are correct Sky
bump a good post unlike Fred's rubbish
Take it to the fool named Fred
looks like no one smart enough to understand your post
Longs will win, only on Fred who needs a lesson

I think you will take it to the shorts when you are ready Skyhigh

Nuclear energy and waste production
Justification for indicator selection
The environmental impact of nuclear energy can be divided in three stages: upstream fuel production, electricity production and waste disposal. All three stages have different effects on the environment as indicated in the indicator assessment. The release of radioactivity to the environment can result in acute or chronic impacts that, in extreme cases, can cause loss of biota in the short term and genetic mutation in the longer term, both of which may result in unknown and potentially fatal effects. Increased levels of radioactivity can also be passed up through the food chain and affect human and animal food resources. In terms of CO2 eq over the life cycle, nuclear power is comparable with renewable energy sources according to an EEA study on LCA analysis of energy systems (2009)
Scientific references
- No rationale references available
Indicator definition
The indicator measures spent nuclear fuel arising from nuclear electricity production in the Member States that had nuclear powered electricity production capacity between 1990 and 2009 (data for Bulgaria missing). It provides an indication of the situation of radioactive waste accumulation and storage.
Original measurement units:
Spent fuel: tonnes of heavy metal (tHM)
Nuclear electricity generation: terawatt hours (TWh)
According to the World Energy Council http://www.worldenergy.org nuclear waste falls into the following four broad categories:
- Very low-level waste (VLLW) contains negligible amounts of radioactivity, which can, depending on the clearance level, be disposed of in a dedicated surface site or with domestic refuse.
- Low-level waste (LLW) contains small amounts of radioactivity and negligible amounts of long-lived waste.
- Intermediate-level waste (ILW) contains higher amounts of radioactivity and does require shielding in the form of lead, concrete or water. It is further categorised into short-lived and long-lived. The former is dealt with in a similar way to LLW and the latter to HLW.
- High-level waste (HLW) is highly radioactive, contains long-lived radioactivity and generates a considerable amount of heat.
HLW accounts for 10% by volume of radioactive waste generated and contains about 99% of the total radioactivity. This includes fission products and spent fuel.
Spent fuel: tonnes of heavy metal (tHM)
Nuclear electricity generation: terawatt hours (TWh)
Policy context and targets
Context description
Decisions concerning the use of nuclear energy are up to Member States: the principle of subsidiary grants member states autonomy in deciding their energy mix.
Public concern about environmental and safety considerations has led to plans to phase out nuclear power in certain Member States (such as Germany, Spain, Sweden and Belgium), with some others either declaring or considering moratoria on the building of new nuclear plants. On 30th May 2011, the German government decided to stand by the previous government's plans to close all reactors by 2022 (WNA 2011). Italy completely phased-out nuclear power following a referendum in 1987. In Sweden the Barseback nuclear power plant closed in 2005. Sweden is the only country to have a tax discriminating against nuclear power.
On the other hand, some Member States are currently discussing the construction of new nuclear capacity. In Finland (Olikiluoto-3) and France (Flamanville-3), the process of building additional capacity, based on new nuclear designs such as the European Pressurised Water Reactor (EPR), is ongoing. Both are planned to start-up in 2012. Furthermore, in Romania, the Cernavoda 2 reactor was completed in 2007. Meanwhile, several countries, like the Netherlands, Belgium and Hungary have decided to extend the life-time of existing NPPs. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and Poland agreed in 2007 on the construction of a NPP (Visaginas) in Lithuania. The Advanced Boiling Water Reactor is expected to operate from 2020. Bulgaria also plans to build two new reactors (Belene 1 and 2) and there has been strong governmental support for nuclear. The most up to date information on NPPs can be found in the Power Reactor Information System (PRIS) of the IAEA (IAEA, 2009).
On June 25th 2009 the European Council adopted Directive for setting up a Community framework for nuclear safety (COM(2008) 790 final). The Directive is a major step for achieving a common legal framework and a strong safety culture in Europe.
Main policy documents
- EURATOM Treaty (1957)
The Euratom Treaty helps to pool knowledge, infrastructure and funding of nuclear energy. It ensures the security of atomic energy supply within the framework of a centralised monitoring system.
- Council Directive (Euratom) setting up a Community framework for nuclear safety; COM(2008) 790 final
Provides binding legal force to the main international nuclear safety standards (IAEA Safety Fundamentals and the Convention on Nuclear Safety). The Directive also reinforces the independence and resources of the national competent regulatory authorities.
- Council Directive establishing a Community framework for the nuclear safety of nuclear installations (2009)
National responsibility of Member States for the nuclear safety of nuclear installations is the fundamental principle on which nuclear safety regulation has been developed at the international level, as endorsed by the Convention on Nuclear Safety. That principle of national responsibility, as well as the principle of prime responsibility of the licence holder for the nuclear safety of a nuclear installation under the supervision of its national competent regulatory authority, should be enhanced and the role and independence of the competent regulatory authorities should be reinforced by this Directive.
- IAEA Safety Standards, Fundamental Safety Principles, No. SF-1 (2006)
States the fundamental safety objective as being to protect people and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Ten safety principles are stated and their intent and purpose are briefly explained. The safety objective and the ten safety principles provide the grounds for establishing requirements and measures for the protection of people and the environment against radiation risks, and for the safety of facilities and activities that give rise to radiation risks.
- IAEA Convention on Nuclear Safety (1994)
Achieve and maintain a high level of nuclear safety worldwide through the enhancement of national measures and international co-operation including, where appropriate, safety-related technical co-operation; to establish and maintain effective defences in nuclear installations against potential radiological hazards in order to protect individuals, society and the environment from harmful effects of ionizing radiation from such installations; to prevent accidents with radiological consequences and to mitigate such consequences should they occur.
- European Sustainable Nuclear Industrial Initiative (ESNII) (2010).
This will support three Generation IV reactors as part of a wider programme to promote low-carbon technologies. Of particular focus is the Astrid sodium-cooled fast reactor (France), the allegro gas-cooled fast reactor (central and eastern Europe) and the lead-cooled fast reactor (Belgium), and additional nuclear applications include hydrogen production, desalination plants and industrial heat.

Methodology uncertainty
For the production of electricity, data have traditionally been compiled by Eurostat through the annual Joint Questionnaires (although there is no separate questionnaire for nuclear energy), shared by Eurostat and the International Energy Agency, following a well-established and harmonised methodology. This year for the first time greater disaggregation is available in Eurostat and we have aggregated the product codes (107030, 31, 32, and 33) to calculate gross electricity generation from nuclear power (former product code 107003). The primary energy from nuclear is calculated based on the electricity generation from nuclear with a 33.3 % efficiency rate. Methodological information on the annual Joint Questionnaires and data compilation can be found on Eurostat's website in the section on metadata on energy statistics http://epp.eurostat.ec.europa.eu/portal/page/portal/statistics/metadata, also see information related to the Energy Statistics Regulation from the same link.
Data sets uncertainty
Data on spent fuel arisings have been compiled by the OECD using data from member Governments. This is a consistent ongoing process that is updated annually. However, no information is available for Bulgaria. During 2008 and 2009, no data was available for Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia and Sweden, which decreases the overall accuracy of the indicator. The use of spent fuel arisings as a proxy for overall radioactive waste is itself slightly uncertain because of the various inconsistencies in classification of radioactive waste between Member States, although it does provide a 'reliable representation of the production of radioactive waste situation and its evolution over time' (OECD, 1993).
Rationale uncertainty
No uncertainty has been specified

'Historic day:' MLB to accept radical changes in instant replay
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. -- Major League Baseball decided Thursday to implement instant replay on virtually every play but the strikezone - including three manager's challenges per game - that will begin in 2014, Commissioner Bud Selig announced.
"It's a historic day,'' Selig said.
MLB vice president Joe Torre, Atlanta Braves president John Schuerholz and advisor Tony La Russa presented the all-encompassing replay proposal to the 30 ownership groups, which was widely accepted, Selig said, and expected to be formalized at their quarterly owners' meetings Nov. 13-14 in Orlando, Fla.
The replay will include up to three challenges that mangers will be provided during a game, one in the first six innings, and two beginning in the seventh inning through the game's duration. If a manager is successful with his replay challenge, he will not be charged with a review.
If a manager exhausts his three challenges, and umpire crew can make a review of its own only to determine home-run calls, a rule that will be grandfathered in with the new regulations.
Baseball, using its central MLBAM offices in New York, will be provided with replay cameras that will be monitored by men with umpiring experience. They will make the final call on disputed plays, not the crew chief.

Team Toyota is putting all other teams on notice; they're coming in 2017, and they're coming to win!
That's right. Toyota has announced its triumphant return to the World Rally Championship (WRC), and Empire Toyota couldn't be more excited! The first season for Team Toyota will not be until the 2017 race year, but they are already hard at work getting their cars and crews assembled.
"Toyota has a long and distinguished history in motorsport, particularly in world rallying, and we're delighted to welcome one of the automobile industry's giants back to WRC," promoter Oliver Ciesla said.
After winning the manufacturer's title in 1999, Toyota took a 16-year break from the sport. But, with the regulations in 2017 changing, the stage is once again set for a Toyota-built rally car to race to victory. Most of the changes deal with fuel efficiency and safety, both of which are strong-suits for Toyota in all of their cars. The model specifically chosen for the rally car, however, will be a highly modified Yaris that will tackle road and dirt courses and unleash 300 hp from its powerful turbo-charged 1.6-liter engine.
Stay tuned to Empire Toyota for the latest Team Toyota WRC news!
