Putting the Shatner "ego issue" from TOS to rest

Re: Putting the Shatner "ego issue" from TOS to rest
It's been forever since I read Takei's book, or Shatner's first two...and if the others wrote a book, I didn't read them. BUT...arn't the most damning accusations that Shatner would ask for "their" lines to be cut or given to him? Or that he would say things like, "We don't need to cut away to Sulu here"...and finally if Shatner DID intentionally flub those lines to keep Sulu from being promoted?*
It's things like that, that would seperate him from Nimoy. NOW...did they have to make a living off it? Did Doohan have to make it a blood feud? No. But I'm just pointing out why Nimoy might escape scrutiny.
*Why Shatner would do that, and why Takei would care so much about a fictional promotion, I have no idea.
edit: I would also point out that I don't have a 'side' here. If anything, I find it curious that it took forever for Doohan to bury the hatchet with Bill. If Doohan was rebuffing Bill practically up to Doohan's deathbed...well...all props to Shatner for trying to make amends LONG after I would have given up.

Urban Farming: getting the most from small space?

Okay… you asked for it! I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions!! WOOHOO!! And I do like to ask questions…
We have been doing some urban farming of our own here in West Seattle. The past two years, we have produced a HUGE amount of food from the back
(?) of our townhouse. We used what plantable space we had then enhanced that with pots, hanging baskets, etc… The result, as I said, has been a great deal of food.
This year, we have branched out and have expanded our Urban Farming Project to the yards and vacant areas of neighbor's properties who have volunteered them up in exchange for some fresh food. Sharecropping, if you will. One of the properties is a quarter acre garden/farm that sat dormant for several years and we worked with a team of community neighbors to clean up and rework the soil. This year, we are doing a big planting with hopes of crop production.
*whew* Sorry for all the background info but I feel it is necessary for the questions I will ask in this and subsequent posts.
Starting with the very smallest of spaces, the back patios and window sills in our neighborhood, what are some best practices that can/should be employed even on such a small scale? Basically, where would one start with a small space that, often, doesn't even include soil to plant in other than a pot or a bunch of pots on a patio or windowsill?
Thanks for taking the time to respond to this forum. This really is a great opportunity to ask question (almost) directly from one of the

About 15 years ago I read a really great book on this topic. The author(s) were in san francisco. A tiny plot of
. Sun was very precious. And they were bitten by the
bug .... So they had not just window planters, but shelves of planters all over their south wall. And they then made a network of wooden .... "platforms" all over their ROOF! They had hundreds of containers loaded with all sorts of plants everywhere.
And, at about the same time I was reading that book, I visited a home in Missoula, Montana where a person had gone crazy with containers to cover nearly every spec of their limited property. And the south wall of their house was covered with a network of pots - with the dribbles from the bottom of one pot dribbling into the next pot!
AND .... at the workshops a few weeks ago with
sepp holzer
, "Team Sepp" set up what Sepp refers to as a "felt sausage", where you roll up some landscape fabric, fill it with soil and poke holes in it for your growies. This is what he recommends for urban stuff.
The first pic here is of Sepp's son Josef. There is a lot more set up here to demonstrate more than just the sausage - but I think you get the idea.
The second pic shows holes and plants.

I like this idea of rolling the fabric. Like a big ol' urban farming burrito! LOL I'm thinking a GREAT place for potatoes in limited spaces. We have built Potato Condos in the past and this might be a fun alternative.
One question about the fabric: quite often, bags of soil get a bit moldy in the inside if they don't have enough aeration in them. How was this dealt with in this design?

Mold in soil is a good thing. That's one of the ways
matter breaks down.
I suspect that there would be near zero on the outside of this thing.
As for aeration: if you start with a fair amount of organic matter, it will decompose over time and thus leave more air spaces. Thus - self aerating!

Taking hydroponics to the max is AQUAPONICS. You have a tub with fish and a grow bed with vegetables. The fish-poop
is pumped up to the grow bed(s), it feeds the vegetables, the vegetables filter the poopy water, and the clean water is returned to the fish.
For the best explanations, photos of the set-ups, information and forums, go to Joel Malcomb's fantastic site at Backyard Aquaponics at
; He's in Australia, but he's 'roight'! And he's getting someone set up in the U.S.

I like this idea a lot, though it occurs to me that it would dry out rather fast in triple digit summers. I assume the blue tote is for water; how does that work? Via a wick system or just dump some water in and it slowly releases into the soil via a slow drip?
However for early starting or fall/winter production or the right micro climate this makes a lot of sense for a backyard neighborhood garden or even an apartment with limited space. I think it would be useful for rooting out cuttings also.

So, specifically regarding best practices in permaculture, what are some pointers that could be given to beginning gardeners with little or no space. How do they best work their space while employing permaculture best practices?

i can't remember which of my hundreds of gardening
i read things in but the do get stuck in my mind.
one lady, every single day of her urban life..took a flat shovel and a wheelborrow or cart of somekind..bucket would do..and she would go out to the street and gather the "soil" that would wash out of people's driveways and yards after the rain ..and take it home to her property..she built up beautiful gardens..
now you might not go so far..but always be on the lookout for free soil, free soil additives..pine needles, leaves, compost..etc..
some people also use soiless mixtures in the bottoms of their pots..such as leaves..
haveing never been really urban..i can't be of much help on Seattle urban..i grew up 2 blocks from center of down town, but we had about a 5 acre garden between my family, and 2 grandparents that lived behind us and about 20 plus acres of creek and woods..
gather..always gather..

Good question. Everyone living in an urban area has a different situation regarding available space in which to garden, so there are no hard, fast rules. People also have different situations regarding how much time/attention they can give to a garden. However, when I think about growing in limited space a few different ideas come to mind:
-Container gardening - There are a ton of books out there on container gardening. If people have room for a container (anywhere from a window box to a half barrel) they can grow something. Containers often dry out faster than gardens planted in the ground, so this can be an issue for folks who work long hours. In that case either a small drip irrigation system with a timer or choosing to grow drought tolerant plants are both good ideas. In fact, I like to use containers for a lot of Mediterranean herbs that are fairly drought tolerant (rosemary, sage, oregano, etc.). This keeps them close to the kitchen when I need them and they are a bit more forgiving when you work late and can't water them as often. Container gardening and indoor worm composting can make a great combo in terms of a fertility regime.
-Community gardening - Many places (including West Seattle) have community gardens where enthusiastic gardeners can get a plot. These programs are wonderful and they provide space for people to make a lot of food. It is important to make sure your community garden plot is close enough to your home to receive proper attention (too far and we know we won't be as attentive as we should). A big challenge for basement apartment dwelling folks is doing starts to transplant into their garden plots later. Recently, this problem was tackled by some folks in the Seattle area who started a 'Plant Start CSA'. For the price of a subscription you will get plant starts appropriate to the season delivered throughout the year. Pretty spiffy!
-Guerilla gardening - Lots of folks are getting into the idea of planting food on the sly. If you ever notice a squash plant growing amongst the pieris and arbor vitae at your bank, a guerilla gardener has probably been at work. The principle here is that there is land available all over the place. It is often just filled with ornamentals and not used terribly efficiently. The guerilla gardener will throw seed balls, plant veggie starts, and plug in cuttings in places where they will (hopefully) go unnoticed until they come back for a harvest. There can be a lot of heartbreak when you go this route when all your kales get consumed by a lawn mower instead of you, so if you choose to guerilla garden my advice is to make it look official. The folks that tend landscapes will often assume that a planting that looks like the other plantings is supposed to be there. In other words if you plant your kales in an aesthetically appealing way out of the mow zone, they will be more likely to survive.
-Not-so-guerilla gardening - There is also the idea of just asking. With the idea of edible landscaping on the rise, it seems that one without access to land could simply ask neighbors if they would mind having a garden on the sunny side of their lawn. You could do the work and provide them with some fresh food. Everyone wins. Not everyone will say yes, but it only takes one. Besides, you'll get to meet a bunch of your neighbors and work on building community, which benefits everyone in the end.
Other folks will probably mention rooftop gardening & vertical gardening. However, I believe that there is land available in most places that is easier (and less energy intensive) to garden than rooftops and
walls. Often times the challenge isn't available land, but gaining access to available land. Vacant lots, neighbor's lawns, public parks, etc. all provide potential access to land. I imagine that with enough gumption, one could find a patch of dirt just about anywhere. I'd still keep my rosemary in a pot outside my kitchen window, though. After all, that's where I'd use it.
On the urban farming front, there is an organization called Growing Power (
) based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that I think enthusiastic urban growers should check out. I visited their operation this winter and I was quite impressed. On 2 acres in the inner city, the founder, Will Allen, grows enough food to run a CSA and market. He has
, goats, ducks, & turkeys. He has six greenhouses and produces greens for
sale all winter. They are raising tilapia and lake perch in
aquaculture systems. On top of all that they offer workshops on a variety of topics from commercial urban ag (in other words earning a living farming in the city) to urban food security. Will Allen was a recipient of a MacArthur Foundation Award this year. The first photo below is of a
where they were growing salad greens in January. The space was heated only by the compost piles you see in the corners. The second picture is of one of their aquaculture pools. Check them out if you ever have a chance.
Either way, you can do a lot with a little. Often times it just takes a bit more creativity.

One other thought I had for those with the desire to grow food in urban & sub-urban areas is the SPIN farming program (
). I just heard about it this winter, but it seems to take a lot of the guess work out of growing food and provides recommendations for people with different commitment levels, finances, time, space, and knowledge. It contains a lot of information particularly pertinent to those in urban and suburban areas. I haven't read the materials myself, but friends who have checked it out say it's kind of like an instruction book for market gardening in the city.

Thanks for the great answer Dave! With all the different definitions folks put to permaculture, it is difficult to know exactly when to acknowledge one is following best practices for the discipline or not. Your examples are uncomplicated and easy to attain. Thank you for the answer and for giving us a clearer definition (by overview) of urban permaculture practices.
We'll be back for more questions later… you aren't getting rid of us that quickly! LOL

i've been kinda having this daydream about a planting idea i had for my greenhouse..haven't put it into effect but it is a daydream.
making a structure of some sort ..likely out of wood and fencing..that would have soil on two sides and be tall..with a place to put water in the top with a soaker hose..that would trickle down the thing and water the plant roots..the plants would be on both sides of the thing and stuck in with roots into the soil and plants covering the sides...kiinda like the sausage..only more like a panel? or a thinnish box..
is TINY..6x8..and i figured that would expand the growing space in it..it is not strong enough to hang anything from so it would have to stand on the ground..

With any container gardening, you will have a lot of work. You have effectively removed a bit of soil and at least one plant from an ecosystem. So what everything else used to provide, you are now taking on that job.
Since the soil is so tiny, you now have a huge job of providing water.
In the picture I provided, the "sausage" is far large than you would probably set up.
The blue
is an example of a drip irrigation. Note that Sepp is normally against all forms of irrigation, but in this case, there is no way around it.
Personally, one of the most interesting forms of irrigation I have seen is where a clay pot is buried in the soil. As time passes, the pot exudes water. But not the sort of pot you might normally think of. This one is called an "olla". Here are some pics:

that is an interesting statement..seeing as how it would be true in my greenhouse that if i had stacked plants i could probably grow 3 to 4 or more times as many plants in the same area if i was to make the "plant wall" type of container..?? it woud possibly dry out quicker but as the tube above it could be lined with landscape fabric..only be a rectangle rather than a tube

I rent a house on a fair sized lot in a city. Since I am reluctant to tear up the yard and the installed sprinkler system to put in a garden, I do my gardening in containers, specificly earthboxes. Here are some photos of my garden last year.

i like the part in Gaia's garden where he and his neighbors planted different kinds of fruit
, one would have plums, one apples, one peaches, one something else..and also nut trees, and they would share..
there would always be more than enough for one household, so they would split the harvests and each one would have fresh produce from someone elses' property as well as their own.
that would work with berry bushes, vines, and in ground plants too..
best way would to be figure which soil would best support which plants, and which microclimates, etc..and then share in the cost, planting and harvest..
here our neighbors are planting similar plants to what we have, which will also help in cross pollination between ours and theirs to get a better harvest for each of us..they put in 3 dwarf apples and 2 dwarf hazelnuts, and I have y6 dwarf hazelnuts and dozens of apples here..
so theirs will help ours, ours help theirs..

Excellent information. The "sausage" idea is completely new to me and I like the idea for my adorable little strawberry seedlings that are sprouting now. The earthbox idea is excellent too and I need to look more into that clay pot in the ground watering system.
Since this thread is a couple of years old, what is some more information that people have learned along the way in regards to Urban Farming? We are renters and some of the information I personally am looking for is:
a) which trees have you planted in pots (permanently) that have thrived?
1. have you tried the bonsai method with larger trees to keep them contained to a small space (not tiny bonsai...just small enough to live in a wine barrel size pot)
2. have you tried to add a plant guild within the pot and how has that worked for you?
b) would
make good composters (in addition to a worm farm) as they tend to be much quieter than chickens?
c) since ducks and chickens are not allowed where we live, would having bird feeders and bat houses in several places be enough to help keep the bugs down?
d) does anyone have photos of completed projects from the last couple of years to share with the group?
No land yet, but growing what I can with what I have!

I think you must take care with urban gardening that your footprint is not bigger than the vegetables you harvest. I mean bought soil here or custom made plastic containers or bags to grow stuff.
The other thing is that cities offer things the country are does not have: incredible amounts of
, coffee grounds greengrocer leftovers....
I think one strategy to save space is to plant seeds in containers and transplant seedlings. I don't usually do that with most of the things I grow but it does safe space.
cities are usually warmer and you can grow stuff you cannot grow outside. YOu have a lot of protection from winds but most city gardens have more shade, which then can be used for mushrooms. For the animals:
, quail, rabbits, chicken.

Two Looks, One Night. Which Kate Hudson Style Is Your Favorite?
I'm all about MacGyvering a look — starting the night off with one style, then swapping it out for another by night's end. Remember how Taylor Momsen pulled a switcheroo style about a month ago, just by changing her lipstick and fluffing up her hair? Take, for instance, Kate Hudson. At last night's Time's 100 Most Influential People soirée, the all-smiles actress wore a crisp white tuxedo-style suit. When she walked the red carpet, she donned a carefree updo, but as the night went on, she let her hair hang down. Which look do you prefer on Kate? Then tell me, are you a master of change yourself?

Considering the age and mileage of the vehicle this concern sounds like you may have a broken engine or transaxle mount. I assume it shifts properly, but you are just having this concern when you feather the throttle thus reversing the load on the mounts. Your best way to check this is to have a friend sit in the vehicle with the park brake fully engaged and their foot firmly on the brake pedal. Have them go back and forth between drive and reverse while you observe the engine mounts for excessive movement. There should be mounts near the right and left strut towers and under the engine/transmission towards the front (near the radiator) and the back (near the firewall). If you need pictures let me know. If all mounts check out ok the next possibility is an internal tranny concern. Let me know if I can be of anymore help.
Cant beleive I havnt mentioned it but ive only noticed it since I changed the clutch but the clutch n box, but they seem 2 operate as they should. Thank u I really appreciate ur response I will try the engine mounts n get back 2 u thx again
One other thing to check is to make sure that both axles engaged completely when you reinstalled them after doing the clutch job. If one of the axles did not seat properly it could be causing this problem as well.
Wouldnt the gearbox leak if they hadnt gone in properley n I didnt realize they could even go in wrong? Again thank you ever so much. Also I dont notice any jerking / rocking wen I accelarate only wen I completely take foot off the pedal. N it doesnt make a diffrence how quick I release pedal coz if I released pedal any slower than wot I have been doing lately my leg would stop.
Usually there would be a leak but sometimes an axle will go in the grooves, but the snap ring doesnt engage completely. Your problem really sounds like an engine mount, but the axles are worth a quick look as well.

Vellaripravinte Changathi is based on the story of film-maker Augustine Joseph who made a Malayalam film in 1966. However, due to some reasons, the film did not make it to the theatres. The 1960s-70s was a period dominated by Prem Nazir, Sathyan, Sheela and others. Unluckily Augustine Joseph was not able to get the film released. Later he commits suicide due to the debts from the production of the film. After years his son revels the original prints of the film from Gemini Lab and sees it. Later he goes on with releasing the film and tries to find the people who did the characters. The film is well appreciated for the way of narration and picturisation which makes the viewer feels that they are actually watching an old Black and white movie of the 60-70s

Improving health among Colorado's community banks reflects an industry expectation that the new year could be one of acquisitions and mergers, according to an analysis of a national survey.
A recent survey of banking CEOs and senior executives by auditing giant KPMG found that about two-thirds of them saw their institutions as candidates to acquire another bank or be acquired by one within a year.
Of those, nearly 62 percent saw themselves as the buyer and 38 percent as the seller.
While the same sense of M&A may be true of Colorado community banks, the percentage split is likely to be an even balance between those that will likely acquire other banks and those expecting to merge, according to Mike Kelley, KPMG's audit partner in Denver.
"Many of the themes of the national survey are consistent with what we see here, but the (Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.) demonstrated patience in the years of fear and speculation about weak banks here," Kelley said. "Many of those weak banks got stronger, making themselves much better acquisition candidates."
Newly released FDIC quarterly data show that fewer Colorado banks are deemed to be troubled.
But many of those acquisitions might not be the more common community bank blending with another, Kelley said. Rather, it's more likely to be the larger fund holding companies, private groups looking to cobble together a number of smaller, though healthier, banks.
"Bigger is better, and with the increased regulatory burdens, there's really a need of scale to absorb the regulatory costs," he said. "Strategically, the buyers need this scale and will spread the geography."
Of the executives surveyed this year — 105 of them — 61 percent saw the uncertain political and regulatory landscape as the biggest threat to their business model.
"Many have been predicting a flood of M&A activity in this industry over the past several years, but it's been more like a steady drip," said John Depman, KPMG's national leader of regional and community banking. "The fact is ... it's a tough deal to get done."
Much of that difficulty now hinges on fewer FDIC-assisted transactions, Kelley said.
"There's lots of money on the sidelines for deals," he said of Colorado's banking landscape. "But it makes for careful choices."

Carnival Story is a 1954 film directed by Kurt Neumann, produced by Frank King and Maurice King, starring Anne Baxter and Steve Cochran, and released by RKO Radio Pictures.
Sometimes this film is credited as a 3D feature, although it wasn't filmed or exhibited in a three-dimensional process.[3] This idea in many sources may be based on a wrong note from Variety in 1953.[4] Neumann simultaneously directed a German language version Rummelplatz der Liebe (1954) with Bernhard Wicki, Eva Bartok, and Curd Jürgens.[5]
The melodrama set in a circus was filmed in Munich and Bavaria. The film was shot in Agfacolor with prints by Technicolor.
Grayson's traveling carnival comes to Munich with acts that include high-dive artist Frank Collini and silent strongman Groppo. A local girl named Willi picks the pocket of Joe, who works for the carny, but she ends up being offered a job.
Joe makes romantic advances to Willi, who tries to resist him but can't. Collini asks if she would like to become a part of his act, which involves diving into a flaming tank of water from a great height. He also proposes marriage on Willi's first night as part of the show.
Magazine photographer Bill comes to take their picture as The Great Collinis' fame grows. Collini gives a beating to Joe after catching him with Willi, whereupon he plunges to his death after a rung on his high-dive ladder breaks.
Willi inherits $5,000. Joe spends the night with her, but next morning is gone, as is her money. She eventually gets Joe to confess that he sawed Collini's rung in two, deliberately causing his death. As they quarrel, strongman Groppo comes to Willi's rescue, kills Joe and is led away by the police.

Andersen Corporation
by Tamera Price , 03/03/2010
Andersen Corporation has been doing business with Shred Right for a number of years, and couldn't be happier with all aspects of service. Their service is incredibly responsive with next day turn-around. Shred Right's active participation in the National Association for Information Destruction (NAID) demonstrates their total commitment to best practices for information management and destruction. Shred Right is not only concerned with secure and confidential destruction of many different types of media, but also provides services and resources for active Records Management. Shred Right really strives to create a complete, custom fit shredding program. Their customer service is outstanding; I highly recommend them as the local industry leader in information destruction.
Chariman, Crime Stoppers of Minnesota
by Chariman, Crime Stoppers of Mi , 02/16/2010
Shred Right is a great company that is not only committed to providing their customers with outstanding service; they are also committed to creating safer communities throughout Minnesota. Shed Right has been a long time backer of the Crime Stoppers of Minnesota organization. Most recently, they have been gracious enough to donate the use of their on-site document destruction trucks (and the personnel to man it) at our one-day public shredding events being held monthly at selected American Bank locations. These events provide the general public a great opportunity to shred their personal confidential documents while helping Crime Stoppers with an exceptional fund raising opportunity. You can't go wrong with doing business with companies like Shred Right who give back to the communities they work in!
Shred Right Does Shredding Right
by mcb , 02/15/2010
Several of my clients use ShredRight for their document destruction needs. Their on site collection and plant based destruction is their bread and butter but they also do shredding at client locations using their mobile shredding vehicle. Everyone at Shred Right is professional in their jobs. Their drivers are pleasant and their office staff are a joy to work with. The Shred Right management team is active in NAID (National Association for Information Destruction) and is very forward thinking. Shred Right is also Green Smart; all your destroyed data are recycled or disposed of in a lawful, ethical, and environmentally sound manner. Sure, there are other shredding companies (and even a few recycling companies that claim they'll destroy your documents) but why not work with a local company that sets the standard?

Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Energy have largely kept quiet about a cybersecurity hack that was announced Thursday.
The United States Office of Personnel Management announced that there was an incident that had been discovered in April that affected its Information Technology systems and that data may have been compromised.
While it is unknown who was behind a potential hack, U.S. officials believe it might have been hackers from China that have gotten into personnel files and other sensitive material at the OPM, which does background checks for the vast majority of government employees.
Following the incident, LANL and Los Alamos Field Office personnel were directing all questions to the NNSA headquarters. A NNSA official, which the Los Alamos Monitor reached late Friday, redirected questions to the OPM.
The NNSA spokesperson said only that DOE personnel were notified by Secretary Ernest Moniz Thursday following the announcement.
The Department of Homeland Security on Friday said it was possible employees all departments of the government could have personal data compromised.
Starting Monday and continuing through June 19, OPM will send notifications to approximately 4 million individuals whose information was potentially compromised.
The following is information released by the Office of Personnel Management for those that may have been affected by Thursday night's cybersecurity incident:
The U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) recently became aware of a cybersecurity incident affecting its systems and data that may have compromised the personal information of current and former Federal employees.
NASA's Mars Curiosity Rover's "ChemCam" instrument recently got a major capability fix, as Los Alamos National Laboratory scientists uploaded a software repair for the auto-focus system on the instrument.
"Last November we discovered that a small laser used to focus the ChemCam telescope on its targets had failed" said Roger Wiens, instrument lead at LANL. "Without this laser rangefinder, the ChemCam instrument was somewhat blind. The main laser that creates flashes of plasma when it analyzes rocks and soils up to 25 feet from the rover was not affected," he said, "but the laser analyses only work when the telescope projecting the laser light to the target is in focus."
The team knows approximate distances to each target, but this information is not accurate enough to provide an in-focus image.
Since November the team had limped along by taking nine images, each at a different focus, for every target. The data that was returned contained eight blurry images and one in focus, "a rather poor return for the effort and time, but better than nothing," Wiens said.
China-based hackers are suspected once again of breaking into U.S. government computer networks, and the entire federal workforce could be at risk this time.
The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement that data from the Office of Personnel Management — the human resources department for the federal government — and the Interior Department had been compromised.
"The FBI is conducting an investigation to identify how and why this occurred," the statement Thursday said.
This morning, the Los Alamos Monitor contacted both the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Energy's Los Alamos Field Office to see if any local employees or local offices had been affected by the breach.
Spokespersons from both LANL and LAFO said questions about the breach should be referred to the National Nuclear Security Administration headquarters in Washington, D.C.
A NNSA spokesperson said this afternoon that DOE employees were notified of the breach by Secretary Ernest Moniz late Thursday after the breach was announced, but had no other information.
According to national reports, hackers were believed to be based in China, said Sen. Susan Collins, a Republican from Maine.
Each May, employees of Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) pledge contributions to help create the leaders of tomorrow through the Los Alamos Employees' Scholarship Fund (LAESF).
In 2008, Alicia Salazar-Crockett was the Platinum Award Winner, receiving $30,000 toward her education.
A new LANL Community Connections Podcast features Salazar-Crockett relaying the impact the LAESF award has had on her life.
Los Alamos National Laboratory's Community Programs Office Deputy Director Carole Rutten interviews Salazar-Crockett in the episode.
"Alicia is the perfect example of the scholarship fund," said Rutten. "At 18 years of age, she received the top scholarship from LAESF for her undergraduate studies. She went on to receive her graduate degree in nuclear engineering. Now she is a full-time laboratory employee."
This year, 78 scholars received more than $400,000. Since 1999, more than $4.9 million has been awarded through 1,000 scholarships. Los Alamos National Security, LLC matches each employee's pledge — up to $250,000 annually — to LAESF, which is co-managed by the LANL Foundation and LANL Community Programs Office.
The Department of Energy announced today that all waste containers from Los Alamos National Laboratory containing nitrate salt bearing waste have been isolated.
The DOE put out the statement along with the New Mexico Environment Department.
"This milestone illustrates DOE's commitment to safely recover WIPP in a manner that increases worker safety and protects the public and the environment," said Joe Franco, DOE's Carlsbad Field Office Manager, in today's statement. "The DOE and its contractors at WIPP will continue to safely implement the recovery plan as we work toward resuming operations at WIPP."
The waste containers with nitrate salt were determined to be responsible for the 2014 radiological release.
Shortly after the February 14, 2014, radiological release, NMED issued an Administrative Order that required the expedited closure of Panel 7, Room 7, as well as the initial closure of Panel 6 at WIPP.
A DOE Accident Investigation Board report issued in April concluded that the release was caused by an exothermic reaction involving a mixture of organic materials and nitrate salts in one of the waste drums.
It's been awhile since Los Alamos County has experienced May weather as wet as it did last month. It's been 23 years, to be exact.
The last time the county has seen that kind of rain was in 1992. Los Alamos County got nearly 3 inches of rain in some spots, that according to Los Alamos National Laboratory weather reports.
May 2015 ranks as the ninth wettest on record, according to the lab.
According to LANL meteorologist Jean Dewart, the meter at Technical Area 6's weather station recorded 2.80 inches, which was a little more than double the long-term average of 1.39 inches in May.
The biggest totals, however, were recorded at TA-49 and TA-53, as well as in White Rock. At TA-49, near Bandelier, the total was 3.11 inches and at TA-53, near the Los Alamos Airport, the measurement was 3.30 inches.
The TA-54 gauge near White Rock received 2.92 inches last month, which was nearly triple that of a typical May.
Dewart said since last month and May 1992 there have been eight Mays that have seen a quarter-inch of rain or less.
Since January, Los Alamos has received 6.61 inches, 20 percent higher than the townsite's long-term average and White Rock has received 6.06 inches, nearly double that of what is typical year-to-date.
ALBUQUERQUE (AP) — A former Los Alamos National Laboratory scientist convicted of offering to help develop nuclear weapons for Venezuela cannot appeal his five-year sentence because he gave up that right, a federal court said.
In an opinion issued Monday, the U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals said Pedro Leonardo Mascheroni had no grounds to fighting his sentencing because his plea deal called for no appeals.
Mascheroni, 79, argued in court papers that he had ineffective attorneys and he didn't fully understand his plea agreement. He wanted his sentencing tossed out.
But the court said Mascheroni was well aware of the agreement and a U.S. district judge made sure he understood all that was presented.
"Dr. Mascheroni, who has a Ph.D. and is a former scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory nuclear weapons division, signed the plea agreement, which stated that he freely and voluntarily entered his plea and that he had reviewed it with counsel," the federal appeals court wrote.
In January, Mascheroni was sentenced to five years in federal prison after pleading guilty.
The National Park Service/Department of Energy field team's visit this week will help determine the scope of the Manhattan Project National Historical Park.
NPS and DOE are currently working on a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) concerning the administration of facilities under the jurisdiction of DOE, including those "behind the fence" at Los Alamos National Laboratory. The MOA will determine and include provisions for enhanced public access, management, interpretation and historic preservation of the sites.
The team will tour 17 historic sites located at eight technical areas, including V-site (Fat Man research and development and Trinity Gadget assembly) and Gun Site (Little Boy research and development) and meet with LANL officials to discuss the MOA.
The field team will also tour both the Bradbury Science Museum and the Los Alamos Historical Museum, including the Hans Bethe House. They will take the Historic District Walking Tour and visit the Historical Society Archives.
Other Los Alamos site visits include the municipal building, the nature center and Tsirege Indian Ruins in White Rock.
The visit includes meetings with representatives from the Eight Northern Pueblos and Cochiti and Jemez Pueblos, the Regional Coalition of LANL Communities and with the MPNHP Advisory Committee.
Although the Manhattan Project National Historical Park (MPNHP) is projected to launch early in 2016, the park's creation may seem like a dream to many Los Alamos residents.
That could change next week when a field team comprised of National Park Service (NPS) and Department of Energy (DOE) officials visits the county as part of their preliminary work in developing the park.
Los Alamos is putting its best foot forward for the visit. Not only could it determine the structure for the park, Los Alamos is competing with Oakridge, Tenn., and Hanford, Wash., to be headquarters for the tri-state park.
"As they say, you never have a second chance to make a first impression," said David Izraelevitz, vice chair of the Los Alamos County Council. "We want to show decision-makers that we are eager to help them build a new park and that we have ways to help them. "We plan to show them that Los Alamos commemorates and celebrates its history, that we are ready to put resources from the county and community toward this park, and that our community already is building a vision of what we want this park to be and do."
The public will have a chance to meet with the field team from 5-7 p.m. Tuesday at Fuller Lodge.
