I had the exact same issue. "Server won't connect". Just fixed it. Turned on "Windows Media Player" then went through the options to allow it to share with all devices. Went back in to my Blu-Ray and it could see my PC once more. Hope this helps...

I was excited, thinking that this company was going to clean one room for free. I figured the sales pitch was that they would do an additional room for a "reduced price." Boy was I wrong. What showed up at my door was nothing more that a door-to-door kirby vacuum salesman. He only cleaned a 3' by 3' area in my living room and never bothered to move any furniture to clean around it. Not to mention him having to 'call his boss' using my home phone and telling the person on the phone that he was just starting the shampoo process, when he was actually already done. Why did he use my phone?? I don't know, he had a cell phone on him. I will say the vacuum did work great, but the price tag was UNREAL!!!! $2500 for a vacuum, I don't think so. I need a new car, not a vacuum. And the shampoo portion of the vacuum didn't work any better than my steam vac.
I asked the sales person how many he sells in two weeks. He said that he only sells 1 for every 10 or so people he sees. That's a heck of a mark-up on the vacuum then if you can keep a job only selling one vacuum every two weeks. He also lied to us telling us this was a 'once in a lifetime' opportunity. Has he ever heard of the internet??? I got on-line and found more kirby's for sale than I know what to do with. And none of them have a $2000 price tag. On top of that there was a website (www.sentria.com)printed on the side of the box, which is not an actual website for this company. LIARS!!!
Be advised that this vacuum is NOT worth $2000+ dollars and they enter your home under false pretenses. Do not go with the financing plan either, the interest rate is 20% or more. In this day and age, people are having a hard time paying for basic necessities -who the heck has $2000+ for a vacuum when people are starving. I was disgusted with the selling tactics, but I admit -if I find a kirby on a garage sale for $20, I will buy it.
Stand up for yourself when people are selling you something. Giving in only hurts yourself and I'm happy I told the salesman to pack up his over-priced sucking machine and hit the road.

Product Description
This often grisly, arguably racist movie stars Kevin Costner as a U.S. Navy pilot who is the improbable friend of a powerful, vaguely criminal Mexican millionaire (Anthony Quinn). While visiting the latter on his estate, Costner's character has an affair with his host's gorgeous young wife (Madeline Stowe), for which he is almost beaten to death and the wife mutilated and turned into a junkie prostitute (nice, eh?). The hero seeks retaliation, and you may want the same against director Tony Scott, who makes the navy sequences look like beefcake excerpts from his earlier hit film, Top Gun. However, if you can stand the garishness, then perhaps the extreme violence won't be too bothersome, either. But expect a rough time either way. --Tom Keogh

"We really enjoyed the resort, which was very beautiful and very high end, so I can't say enough positive things about the facility. We also really loved the staff there, as they provide top notch service, and could not be nicer to interact with, so they really made our stay wonderful. I have played many fine golf courses all over the world, and the PB Dye course at the resort was one of the best manicured courses I've ever played. Finally, the dinner that they set up for us was PERFECT in every way, and I don't think I would have changed anything about it, from the place by the tranquility pool where we sat or the bar service they set up, to the cigar bar they brought in on a last minute request, to the food and service. It was perfect! Great trip! We are looking forward to next year already! Awesome job! Thanks so much!"
Just wanted to give a huge complement to Jennifer Pearce. Our 50th anniversary cruise with your agency went off without a hitch. We had the best time celebrating with friends and family. Jennifer was a joy to work with and took care of all our needs. Having our friends and family together in one place was something we will never forget. Your Agency and Jennifer out shined other Agency's we have used in the past, by far!
We will certainly recommend Classic Travel and Jennifer Pearce to all of our friends and family.

Dear Shelly, Thank you so much for all you did to make our trip a once in a lifetime experience. It was beyond wonderful and we owe it all to you. We had a wonderful time from beginning to end. Thank you so much, Darlene and Tom.
Dear Shelly, Thank you so much for putting together the amazing trip to Alaska. Everything was so wonderful and always on schedule. The people were so kind and helpful. Alaska is a majestic wonder. Victoria was also very beautiful. I enjoyed every moment! Thank you for the many hours you spent arranging everything for all of us. Sincerely, Janice G.

Hi. I suspect I know the answer to this question but will ask it anyway, just in case: I currently have WP setup on Varnish+Nginx. Varnish sits at the front listening on 80, then passes stuff on on Nginx through 8080.
I turned on the 404 detection thing in BWPS, which I think is a great idea, but unfortunately it seems that it identifies all hits as coming from 127.0.0.1 when I look at the log. Needless to say, that is a bit of a problem, since it just locks down everything. So for the time being I've shut it down (404 detection, that is), but I was wondering if there might be a way to configure so that this wouldn't happen.
Of course, this all involves some speculation as to what is going on.
Any thoughts or suggestions? I certainly wouldn't mind using this functionality.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit opens in Fletcher, NC
Published: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 1:34 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 1:34 p.m.
FLETCHER, N.C. — Mike Wiemers has been to the top of the corporate ladder, having served as district manager and area director for Wendy's and senior vice president of operations for Huddle House.
Now, the 35-year veteran of the franchise restaurant industry is starting anew with Dickey's Barbecue Pit, opening in Fletcher.
Wiemers had served as Huddle House's senior vice president of operations for 14 years, during which time the company almost doubled its size.
"I was ready to get out of the corporate grind," he said.
Wiemers left his corporate position with Huddle House, moved to the Hendersonville area and became the franchisee of the Huddle House in Asheville.
"I was looking for another brand," he said.
After visiting a friend who owned a Dickey's in Texas, Wiemers said he became hooked on the food, particularly the beef brisket. The fact that the restaurant business has remained in the original Dickey family since 1941 also appealed to Wiemers, and he decided to bring the pit-smoked barbecue to Fletcher.
The new restaurant at 235 St. John Road is decked out in rustic ranch elements, many of which Wiemers' wife has hand-picked from local flea markets and consignment shops.
"We're a little bit larger than the average Dickey's," Wiemers said, explaining that most franchises are about 1,800 square feet and the Fletcher restaurant is 2,600 square feet.
"It's not fast food (but) it's not full service," Wiemers said of the restaurant, which has a menu boasting of barbecue honey ham, spicy cheddar sausage, turkey and chicken breasts.
Wiemers invited the public to check out his newest venture, adding that the first 50 customers will receive a Dickey's gift card. During the week's grand opening celebrations, Wiemers said he'll also be giving away prizes like free barbecue for a year and a $500 gift card.
"It's going to continue all the way through Labor Day weekend," he said.
Dickey's Barbecue Pit is open 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day. Check out "Dickey's Barbecue Pit Fletcher NC" on Facebook or call 828-303-2190 for more information.

Slain Officers' Relatives Want Killer Executed
Published: Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 2:09 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, March 15, 2014 at 2:09 a.m.
The relatives of two slain Tampa police officers say they want the man convicted of killing them sentenced to death.
In November, a jury found Dontae Morris guilty on two counts of first-degree murder and unanimously recommended that he face the death penalty.
Morris shot the officers during a 2010 traffic stop.
At a hearing Thursday, family members of David Curtis and Jeffrey Kocab told Circuit Judge William Fuente that they want Morris to be put to death. Fuente said their statements would not affect his decision.
Morris' mother also spoke at the hearing Friday.
Morris declined to speak at the hearing. A psychologist testified that Morris has unusually low intellectual ability.

AbstractIn this research, a water-water heat pump system using waste water as a heat source, a type that is not often used in Turkey and the World, was experimentally modeled. The experiments were performed under the conditions of simulated waste water temperature values of 20 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C. Inlet and outlet water temperatures of the evaporator and condenser, water flow rates in the evaporator and condenser circuits, pressures at the compressor inlet and outlet and power consumption of the system were measured. The heating coefficients of performance were calculated based on the measurements. It was found that the maximum temperature in the energy storage tank was about 50.6 °C. For the heat source temperatures of 20 °C, 30 °C and 40 °C, the heating coefficients of the performance of the system became 3.36, 3.43 and 3.69, respectively, 6 min. after the start time of the experiments and then they were decreased to 1.87, 1.83 and 1.77 with increasing water temperature in the condenser tank. The mean uncertainty value of the measurement parameters was found to be about ±2.47%. Finally, for the purpose of meeting hot water need as well as floor heating system requirements, it is seen that energy quality level of a waste low grade temperature heat source can be increased by using a heat pump system.

"From where I sit in this lovely new building, being able to apply for grants to bring guest speakers into my classrooms, it definitely feels like I have room to breathe and stretch in ways I didn't previously. I'm thrilled to be here and I can't say enough about all my points of contact both within the department and in SBS."
Communication and philosophy double major, Jessica Williams, is an integral member of the ALFP. She appreciates how easily accessible the program has made faculty members, through faculty presentations and engagements with members of the program. "The program has also taught me that our professors and instructors are more than happy to talk to students, so it never hurts to send an email or drop by their office hours," says Williams.
"So far, I have been greatly impacted by the ALFP," says Arjun Chawla '16, SBS Academic Leadership Fellow and Communication major. "Being a member of this group of future world leaders has enhanced my leadership skills substantially."
Stephanie Chan '17 (political science) joined the SBS Academic Leadership Fellows Program (ALFP) last fall and has been an active member ever since. She has been able to make connections beyond her major and has been afforded many opportunities, such as hearing Rais Bhuiyan, Founder and President of World Without Hate, speak about his experiences and activist work.
The Center for Research on Families is proud to announce the winners for this Fall's Student Travel Award. Every semester the Center provides funding for students to present their family research at an academic conference. The award helps offset the costs of travel, and allows students the opportunity to meet and present with other researchers in their field. This semester, CRF has awarded a $300 travel award to Sarah Reedy, a PhD student in the Anthropology department, and a $300 travel award to PhD student Amy Newberg of the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department.

This fall, the Department of Landscape Architecture partnered with Career Services, the College of Humanities and Fine Arts and the College of Nursing, along with other outside institutions, to launch the first annual College Matters for U program at the UMass Center at Springfield. This program encourages K-12 students in the Springfield area to consider their future, explore career paths, and network with leaders and faculty. Frank Sleegers, Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture, taught courses at the event.
Sonya Atalay, has a passion for community-based research with indigenous communities. As a native woman herself, one of Professor Atalay's main objectives is to perform research in partnership with communities rather than on them. Professor Atalay is an anthropologist primarily focused on the overlap between archaeology, cultural anthropology, and linguistics. Most recently, she has been working on a community mapping project which brings elders and youths together to learn and work on problems related to land and sustainability.
"A good leader stands out without having to command his presence to others," says Joel Devariste '18, political science student and member of the football team. "A good leader brings out the best in everyone around him and sets a great example for everyone following – much like a quarterback, who's responsible for lining everyone up, reading a defense and getting the ball where it needs to be in a short amount of time."
Dania Francis, Assistant Professor of Economics and Afro-American Studies, will be one of four faculty presenters at the biannual faculty and staff Four @ Four event this Tuesday, November 17. "My current research has focused on the black-white academic achievement gap in primary and secondary education," she explains. "One of the benefits of studying topics in education is that they often have practical policy implications. My hope is that my research helps education policy makers develop policies that effectively reduce educational inequalities."
Kristen Kuliga '91 (economics/political science) swears that she never intended to become an ambassador for the small number of women entering the male-dominated sports and investment industries; it just sort of happened that way.

Ochratoxin A and Aflatoxins in Liquorice Products

AbstractThe occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxins (AFs) in liquorice products made in Italy was surveyed. Twenty-eight samples of dried liquorice extract and fifty-four of liquorice confectionery (liquorice content between 2 and 10%) were collected from retail outlets located in northern Italy. After extraction and purification through an immunoaffinity column, OTA and AFs were analysed using both HPLC-FLD and HPLC-MS/MS. OTA occurred in all samples of dried liquorice extract and in 61% of samples of liquorice confectionery, showing very high values for the former (mean 89.6 µg kg-1, maximum value 990.1 µg kg-1), and relatively low levels for the latter (mean 0.96 µg kg-1, maximum value 8.3 µg kg-1). The contribution of dried liquorice extract to OTA intake appears to be non-negligible for children, who are potentially high consumers. AF contamination resulted very low: AFB1 was detected only in 15.8% of samples (maximum value 7.7 µg kg-1, mean 0.38 and 0.41 µg kg-1 for dried liquorice extract and liquorice confectionery, respectively); the other AFs were not detected. To our knowledge, it is the first time that AFB1 has been detected in liquorice extract samples.

Michael Jackson's property manager is offering an explanation for a 2003 memo, one that ordered the boy who's now accusing Jackson of molestation not to leave Neverland.
Joe Marcus told jurors today one reason for the memo was that the boy and his brother had driven Jackson's vehicles and he was concerned they'd drive out of the gate.
Marcus also says he thought a video rebutting a damaging documentary about Jackson was going to be filmed at Neverland, so he didn't want the boys to leave.
The testimony is meant to counter claims by the accuser's mother that Jackson conspired to hold the family hostage.
Marcus also admitted on the stand that he lied to investigators in 2003 when they asked him if he was aware Jackson had spent the night with boys. Today, he admitted that he knew that had happened.

WSU alumnus donates $3 million to stadium project
Originally published on Tue December 27, 2011 4:43 pm
Three million dollars has been donated to the football stadium project at Washington State University. It is the largest single gift in the history of Cougar athletics.
WSU Athletic Director Bill Moos called the donation significant because, he says, it means the university can be competitive with the best collegiate athletic programs in the nation.
The football stadium project was approved by the university's Board of Regents on November 18th. The total cost of the stadium project is $80 million.
WSU says that construction for the South Side Seat expansion began after the season's final home game on Nov. 21, and is expected to be completed in time for the opening home game of the 2012 football season. That is next September 8th, when the Cougars play Eastern Washington University.
WSU has launched a new website to allow interested parties to track the progress of the stadium project. It can be found at thecougarfootballproject.org.

Year one
As a Year One participant, you will begin with a week of activities and key learning focused on exploring your career aspirations and enhancing essential skills. First, you will spend time exploring goals, clarifying values and looking closer at your behavioral styles, as well as those of your peers. Next, an intensive budget activity will allow you to engage fellow participants and learn how to problem-solve, fundraise and present strategic plans.
You will also explore the internal workings of an athletics department mid-week with a visit to NCAA member institutions in the area and actively engage athletics department staff with discussions of campus culture, organizational structures and communication best practices.
The last few days of the week, you will gain knowledge in a variety of topic areas that can include: student-athlete welfare issues, diversity and inclusion issues at all levels of college athletics, strategic planning, budget management, fundraising, compliance, human resources and performance management within the organization, as well as an understanding the role of search firms play within the business of intercollegiate athletics.
As a conclusion to the week, you will network with the Year Two participants and previous Institute participants as you prepare to embark on the upcoming yearlong journey of continuing education and experiential learning.
Year two
After a year in the program, you will reconvene with your Leadership Institute class and continue to explore your goals, values and behavioral styles, gain feedback from your colleagues and continue to expand your knowledge of student-athlete health and welfare. The remainder of the program will be spent within a topical engaging professional development workshop that allows you to showcase your mastery of essential athletics administration skills.
Applicants for the Leadership Institute must currently be a full-time employee at an NCAA membership institution. To be considered, it is preferred that applicants have a minimum of three years of combined administrative and/or coaching experience within college athletics.

Marsaxlokk Favorite Tips by steventilly Top 5 Page for this destination
Marsaxlokk General: 23 reviews and 32 photos
Most RecentBest Rated

Marsaxlokk Church
Favorite thing: Marsaxlokk church is a lovely colour. It stands in front of a square that also houses the "town hall" or whetever the village equivalent of that is (just next to the church).
The church has a lovely red dome (it's hard to get it into a picture) and from inside the dome is decorated in the usual lavish way.
Favorite thing: A last picture of the colourful views at marsaxlokk.
Marsaxlokk Flag
Favorite thing: We wondered about this blue crossed flag, especially as some of the other villages we'd passed on the way here seemed to be flying flags like this from almost every building. We found later that all Maltese towns & villages have their own flags and that some villages fly them more priminently than others. This flag shown here is the village flag of Marsaxlokk.
Marsaxlokk Police Station
Favorite thing: Strange place Malta. It makes me think of how I expect "wild west Mexico" to look, with Catctii, palms, dusty streets and flat roofed, slightly shabby buildings. This police station did nothing to dispel this view ;-)
Sue's Favourite Corner
Favorite thing: Sue liked this particular part of the waterfront. Her dream would be to restore this building to some sort of house, and come to live here...
Sue On The Waterfront
Favorite thing: The waterfront buldings are built in the traditional Maltese stone with its lovely honey colour. Some are houses, some are cafes, some are workshops. maybe with a flat above... All look a little shabby, but attractively so.
The Eye Of Osiris
Favorite thing: Many of the Luzzo are painted with The Eye Of Osiris. Osiris was a pagan Egypitian god, and his eye on the boat is indended to ward off evil while at sea. Despite their strong Catholic faith this pagan symbol has lived on in Malta.
Painting The Boats
Favorite thing: When we were there some of the fishermen were sprucing up their boats with a fresh coat of paint.
A Luzzo In Harbour
Favorite thing: These traditional fishing boats are very colourfully painted and look very beautiful against the blue sea.

A passing off-duty paramedic applied a moist plastic sheet to the wound and the sound stopped. Why was the patient in pain? What would eventually have happened to the lung on the injured side if no care had been administered? Why was it important that the plastic sheet be moist?

A Columbia man lost everything in a house fire early Monday morning.
The blaze started shortly before 9 a.m. in the bedroom of Columbia resident Benjamin Jackson.
By 9:30 the entire house on Washington Street was reduced to almost nothing.
The 57 year old Jackson tried to stop the fire, but it spread too far, too fast.
Community members are pitching in to Jackson, if you would like to help call Columbia Council Member Addie Buzz at 696-3328.

Ramirez, 21, has been linked with the likes of Liverpool and Tottenham this summer but has decided to move to the newly promoted side.
The Uruguay international says he is excited by the prospect of moving to the Premier League side in a transfer that, if completed, would be a huge coup for Southampton.
"They believe in me in every way," the player told the Corriere dello Sport. "And above all I have said that they are going to grow.
"Southampton is a newly promoted team in the English top flight, but they have the means to stand tall in a few years. And with me they are going to build.
"It's all very stimulating – even if it is a little strange."
The forward scored eight goals and claimed four assists in Serie A last season.

I find myself here
Not 'cuz I think I got a right to
Give out advice set to music and dumb rhymes
And I concede
We lack a few essential things
Utilities get disconnected sometimes
But who could buy the bliss?
The stupid happiness?
Lots would amputate their legs to grab a piece of this
Girl, I know
You don't really need to hear this
Sometimes it's good, though, just to get a reminder
I have been
Down dark, forbidden avenues
And then wondered why the world
Did not treat me kinder
You pulled me from the black
And I will not go back
The war is over now thanks to your beautiful attack
Don't you see how lovely you are
Lying with me in the back of my car?
Heaven come play your song
Me and Hallie will play along
The world's over now, the end
It's buried in the ground, my friend
Joan of Arc took up arms
Without losing ay of her feminine charms
But if you need defense or a chivalrous deed
I will be your knight on a steed
I will bleed for you
But all my power flows
From sources not my own
I could not be the man that you deserve all on my own
Don't you know how strong that you are?
Remember the night you had our girl in the back of our car?
And so we sing and dance in spite of events 'cuz it's alright
It's not alright for lesser loves out there tonight
The stars are out tonight to hear us sing in harmony
And leave behind the world's flat, boring moribund melody
To dance with someone who won't step on our toes
That's how it goes
When love comes down
When loves comes down…
It's sweet enough to wait around
When love comes down…

Projects / Research
Last update: January 2016
Our research centers on technical and policy analysis on nuclear arms control, nuclear nonproliferation, and emerging nuclear energy technologies. It combines technically-driven research with the policy-driven agenda of the Woodrow Wilson School's Program on Science and Global Security (SGS). Our work is underpinned by state-of-the-art neutronics calculations and nuclear fuel-cycle simulation and analysis. There currently are three broad research areas: nuclear verification, nuclear nonproliferation, and nuclear energy.
Future arms-control initiatives and progress toward nuclear disarmament may be difficult and perhaps impossible unless viable technical verification approaches are available to provide policy makers confidence in such agreements. A major area of our technical and policy research aims to contribute to this effort by developing new verification approaches for confirming the authenticity of nuclear warheads and accounting for the fissile materials that make these weapons possible. Our work in this area includes a radical new approach to identifying whether an object declared to be a nuclear warhead or warhead component is what it is claimed to be while learning nothing about the design of the item itself.
Zero-knowledge Nuclear Warhead Verification
How can an inspector be convinced that a nuclear weapon is real without learning anything about its design? This is a long-standing challenge in arms-control verification, and a central theme of our recent research. Previously proposed inspection systems using radiation detection techniques are in principle as well-suited to accomplish this key verification task, but such systems can also reveal highly classified information and so measurements had to be processed through an "information barrier" to strip out sensitive data. This raised a new challenge of simultaneously certifying and authenticating the electronics in the information barrier, which may ultimately be impossible. To resolve this dilemma, we have proposed a fundamentally different approach to warhead verification, one that avoids the measurement of sensitive information at the outset as a way to address concerns about its potential leakage.
The core of the idea is the concept of zero-knowledge proofs, a class of interactive proof systems developed by mathematicians working in cryptography and intended to prove an assertion while yielding nothing beyond the validity of the assertion being proved. Although widely used today in the digital domain, our proposal is the first relevant real-world physical application of a zero-knowledge proof [66, 73].
How can one be convinced that a nuclear weapon is real without learning anything about its design? We have proposed a new approach following a "zero-knowledge protocol" combining neutron radiography with non-electronic preloaded detectors. If a valid item is presented, then no information will be registered in the detector bank; in contrast, an invalid item will both fail the inspection and leak information—an additional incentive for the host not to cheat [88].
In our work so far, among the many possible strategies to implement zero-knowledge, we have chosen to demonstrate first an approach that is based on the following two key elements:
- Differential neutron radiography measurements: We interrogate a test object, which stands in for a nuclear warhead or warhead component with 14-MeV neutrons from a deuterium-tritium (DT) neutron generator making what in effect are differential measurements of both neutron transmission and neutron emission. This method is particularly sensitive to changes in geometry and elemental composition. 14-MeV transmission radiography is less sensitive, however, to the isotopics of the material. As discussed below, we are therefore also launching new efforts to see fission signatures driven by lower energy neutrons.
- Preloadable non-electronic detectors: To overcome the difficulties in certifying and authenticating electronic equipment such as that connected to a radiation detector for signal-processing or used in information barriers, we have decided to use non-electronic detectors. We have chosen to use superheated drop detectors, which consist of small over-expanded "superheated" fluid droplets that are suspended in a liquid matrix. Neutrons interacting with the fluid in the droplets produce charged particles through recoil interactions that in turn trigger the runaway growth of detectable macroscopic bubbles with a diameter of about 0.5 mm. The number of bubbles produced in the detector scales with the neutron fluence, and their detection threshold can be tuned to a minimum neutron energy. For radiography with 14-MeV neutrons, we can set the threshold, for example, to 10 MeV and are therefore immune to scattered neutrons. Bubble detectors also are completely insensitive to gamma radiation, which is another important advantage for our application. We are working with a group at Yale University that has pioneered the process of making bubble detectors and is supplying specially formulated detectors for us.
The first major publication featuring this research was the 2014 Nature article [88]. The core of the paper is a series of large-scale computer simulations in which we showed that small diversions of heavy metal from a representative test object can be reliably detected with this combination of technologies and concepts, if bubble counts on the order of a few thousand can be demonstrated. Among other things, we have developed the mathematical formalism to understand how, within our zero-knowledge system, both the host and inspector can use repeated measurements to achieve desired inspection targets in terms of false-positive and false-negative rates [81, 109].
We are currently conducting the first experiments at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL) to demonstrate the viability of the concept. The initial experimental results have confirmed the main findings of our simulations, and we were able to present the first measurements and results at the 2015 INMM Annual Meeting in a special session dedicated to zero-knowledge approaches, the first of its kind on this topic [100].
For more information, on nuclear warhead verification, see also our overview page on the topic.
There are several additional directions that we are planning to explore over the next years. These are summarized in the research outlook section at the end of this page.
Verifying Past Production of Nuclear-weapon Materials
Today, there are about 16,000 nuclear weapons in the arsenals of the nine nuclear weapon states–but global fissile material stocks are estimated to be sufficient for 150,000-200,000 weapons. The range reflects uncertainties of the order of 20-40 percent in the fissile material production and stockpiles for some weapon states. For the international technical and policy communities concerned with nuclear disarmament and nonproliferation issues, adequately accounting for fissile material stocks is a major challenge that is expected to grow in importance as nuclear arsenals are reduced and when the long sought treaty to ban new fissile material production for weapons purposes is achieved.
Our research in this area is aimed at developing the science and technology needed to reduce these uncertainties in understanding the production histories and estimating existing stockpiles of fissile materials. Our research is also aimed at developing the technical capability to independently verify national fissile material declarations. In particular, to support the work of the International Panel on Fissile Materials (IPFM), we have developed detailed computer models of the types of reactors used for plutonium production by weapon states and helped develop detailed histories of uranium enrichment programs to generate new estimates of national fissile material holdings [52, 56, 57].
In 2014, H. Feiveson, A. Glaser, Z. Mian, and F. von Hippel authored Unmaking the Bomb: A Fissile Material Approach to Nuclear Disarmament and Nonproliferation (MIT Press). The book provides a technical and policy overview of nuclear weapon-usable (fissile material) issues and ideas on how to deal with them drawing on the work we have done as the core research team of the International Panel on Fissile Materials.
Another area in which we are working to combine nuclear arms-control verification and nuclear forensics is the emerging field of "nuclear archaeology," which seeks to develop methods to analyze the isotopics of trace impurities in structural materials or in waste materials at former fissile material production sites. The idea was originally proposed in the 1990s for one particular type of plutonium production reactor. In a series of papers, we have sought to expand the horizon of nuclear archaeology. For example, we have examined how nuclear archaeology can be used in heavy water reactors [59], such as the one Iran is currently building, and in enrichment plants that have been used to make the bulk of weapon-grade uranium [79].
One particular goal of our work is to lay the technical basis for verification of a Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty, which would end new production of these materials for weapons. The treaty has been on the agenda of the United Nations Conference on Disarmament for two decades. One key problem that our group has focused on is how to determine when a particular sample of plutonium or highly enriched uranium was produced and thus determine if it was produced before or after a possible FMCT treaty came into force. The International Panel on Fissile materials has also produced a "Draft Fissile Material Cutoff Treaty" and its verification provisions [35, 48, 50]. In late 2009, this draft treaty was introduced by the Governments of Canada, the Netherlands, and Japan as an official document of the UN Conference on Disarmament to inform its discussions (CD/1878, 15 December 2009).
A major area of our research combines technical and policy analysis to understand and reduce the risks from today's large global fissile material stockpiles and from the nuclear technologies now associated with civilian nuclear energy programs around the world. Our overall perspective is straightforward: the only reliable way to reduce and end the threat from fissile materials is to verifiably end production and use of these materials, and to reduce existing stockpiles as transparently and irreversibly as possible. The threat today includes not just diversion by a state to a nuclear weapons program, but also possible terrorist acquisition of the kilogram quantities of fissile material that would be sufficient to make a simple nuclear explosive device. The key technical analysis and policy arguments that support this fissile material perspective view on arms control and nonproliferation are laid out in Unmaking the Bomb published by MIT Press.
Ending the Use of Highly Enriched Uranium
Highly enriched uranium (HEU) is one of the two fissile materials that can be used for making nuclear weapons, the other being plutonium. HEU poses unique proliferation challenges because, in contrast to plutonium, it can be used in simple weapon designs and even to make crude improvised nuclear explosive devices. Starting in the 1950s weapon-grade HEU was exported to scores of countries for use as research reactor fuel. Growing concerns about nuclear proliferation and the risk of nuclear terrorism in the 1970s spurred international efforts to convert HEU-fueled research reactors to low-enriched uranium (LEU, less than 20 percent uranium-235) fuel.
For many years, our team has contributed to the technical and policy debate on ending the use of HEU in the civilian and military nuclear fuel cycle. This includes: laying out the relevance and urgency of the ongoing efforts [6, 14, 15]; assessing the potential of very high-density fuels that are currently under development to new enable reactor conversions [9, 11, 16]; and introducing the idea for a "convert-and-upgrade strategies" to maintain or improve the performance of a research reactor once it switches from HEU to LEU fuel [22, 24, 69].
The neutrons available for scientific experiments can be increased significantly with state-of-the-art neutron guides using "supermirrors" and advanced guide geometries. Shown are the simulated neutron intensities at the exit of a 35-meter long guide [69]. Upgrading these guides or other relevant equipment, such as the cold neutron source at the entrance of the guide, easily offsets small losses due to reactor conversion to low-enriched (non-weapon usable) uranium fuel.
Uranium Enrichment
Uranium enrichment technologies relying on gaseous diffusion and on electromagnetic separation were developed by the United States during its World War II Manhattan Project to make HEU for weapons and later to make LEU for nuclear power reactor fuel. By the 1970s, however, new gas centrifuge uranium enrichment technology emerged and proved to be much more efficient, less energy intensive, and required facilities much smaller in size. This technology has been demonstrated and deployed by a number of countries, including some non-weapon states. This introduced a new era in nuclear proliferation. In a series of articles, we have analyzed the technical characteristics of gas centrifuges and how a state might use this technology in a crash program to make highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons—a prospect commonly described as a breakout [10, 21, 32, 33, 34].
We have contributed to the research exploring the benefits of moving from national control to multinational ownership and control of uranium enrichment facilities [39, 49]. The early work was part of a study for the International Commission on Nuclear Non-proliferation and Disarmament, established in 2008 by the governments of Australia and Japan. More recently, in an article for Science, we applied this idea to Iran, arguing that converting Iran's national enrichment plant into a multinational one, possibly including as partners some of Iran's neighbors and one or more of the six countries that reached a comprehensive nuclear agreement with Iran in July 2015 [98].
The third major area of our research is exploring the potential and limits of emerging nuclear energy technologies, many still in the R&D stage, which could be game changers in shaping the nuclear future. This includes next-generation nuclear fission systems that seek to overcome key problems with current nuclear reactors as well as possible nuclear fusion energy systems. A large-scale expansion of nuclear power will be needed if it is to play a significant role in reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to address the threat of climate change. The research of our group aims to inform the technical assessments and policy debates that set the requirements for these next-generation nuclear fission and fusion technologies, with a particular emphasis on understanding and establishing possible criteria for the impacts of these technologies on nonproliferation efforts.
Next-Generation Nuclear (Fission) Reactors
We have focused, in particular, on the technology and deployment choices for Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), which are reactors with electrical power outputs below 300 megawatts, significantly smaller than the 1000-1500 megawatt reactors that dominate today's nuclear market. Proposed designs range from evolutionary designs based on existing light-water reactor technology to reactors using life-time cores ("nuclear batteries") that can be deployed in remote locations or countries with small electric grids [75, 99]. Molten salt reactor (MSR), in which nuclear fuel materials are dissolved in a liquid carrier salt, are one important example in this category. Our analysis confirms that MSRs could indeed offer significant advantages with regard to resource efficiency compared to existing nuclear power reactors based on light-water technology. Depending on the particular design, uranium and enrichment requirements could be reduced by a factor of 3-4, even without chemical processing of the fuel [71, 93]. These design choices also have important implications for proliferation risks.
Determining the fuel consumption and composition of next-generation nuclear reactors with computer simulations is critical for assessments of their overall viability, including proliferation-risk attributes. The table summarizes the key data for a 200 MWe-MSR compared to a light-water reactor with of the same power. In this example, we find that resource requirements are significantly lower than those of typical water-cooled reactors of the same size [93].
Nuclear Fusion
Nuclear fusion has long held the potential of solving many of humanity's long-term energy needs, but the technical challenges involved mean commercial deployment is still over the horizon, and may only be achieved in the second half of this century. This period offers an opportunity to shape the technology and, in particular, minimize its potential proliferation risks. Our research on fusion energy seeks to inform the technical and policy debate with analyses that illuminate the possible proliferation impacts of candidate fusion energy systems and aims to provide a basis for building in safeguards-by-design for this technology.
Like traditional nuclear (fission) systems, nuclear fusion that is based on the deuterium-tritium reaction involves intense neutron fluxes. This means a fusion reactor could in principle be used to make weapon-usable fissile material. In fact, some fusion energy concepts explicitly envision fusion-fission hybrids as a "bridge technology" before pure fusion energy can be commercialized. We have published a detailed analysis of the proliferation risks of (magnetic confinement) nuclear fusion technology in Nuclear Fusion [67] and participated in a consultancy meeting on Non-Proliferation Challenges in Connection with Magnetic Fusion Power Plants organized by the International Atomic Energy Agency in June 2013 [70].
Beyond the work on the proliferation risks from fusion, we have also sought to understand the potential of nuclear fusion for the broader energy system of the future using an integrated assessment model to examine the "net value" of nuclear fusion as an energy source given the remaining technical and political uncertainties [108]. This work is connected to broader efforts of our group to improve the characterization of nuclear energy in these models.

Modest Mouse sets summer tour dates; is there new material on the way?
Looks like Modest Mouse have decided to build a July tour run around its Pitchfork Music Festival appearance on the 16th.
Isaac Brock & Co. will kick things off on July 2 in the bustling music mecca of Royal Oak, Mich., continuing through July 24.
The Pitchfork fest has been sold-out for months, so this at least gives fans an opportunity to touch base with the Epic band.
Or is it ground to test new material? It's been a little over three years since the rock band's last "We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank," and last year's EP "No One's First and Your Next" was a crop of B-sides from those sessions and from even older recordings.
There's no word yet from a Modest Mouse rep on the possibility of new tunes, but bands generally hit the road because 1) they run out of money and tours bring it back in 2) they have something brewing and want to get people excited 3) both.
"The Moon & Antarctica" is getting a vinyl reissue for Record Store Day, April 17 (Saturday), a 10 year landmark for the band. It's been out of print for five years, so there's that.
Here are Modest Mouse's July tour dates:
2 - Royal Oak, MI - Royal Oak Theater
6 - Kansas City, MO - Crossroads KC @ Grinders
9 - Santa Fe, NM - Paolo Soleri Amphitheatre
10 - Broomfield, CO - 1stBank Center
12 - Sioux Falls, SD - Ramkota Exhibit Hall
13 - Fargo, ND - Hub at the Venue
14 - Minneapolis, MN - The Orpheum Theatre
16 - Chicago, IL - Pitchfork Festival
17 - St. Louis, MO - The Pageant
18 - Knoxville, TN - The Valarium
19 - Asheville, NC - The Orange Peel
20 - Charleston, SC - Music Farm
22 - Montclair, NJ - Wellmont Theater
23 - Brooklyn, NY - Williamsburg Waterfront
24 - Boston, MA - House of Blues

How to Be Southern: Wearing White After Labor Day
If you really want to wear white sundresses, sandals or linen slacks after Labor Day, I can't stop you. I won't even judge you. But as for me and my closet, summer will now cease to exist until Memorial Day of 2013. It's not that we can't wear any white during the cooler months…I mean, this conundrum is the reason "winter white" was invented.
My no-white rule mainly applies to shoes. I will wear white clothing throughout the year, but I try to pay attention to the weight of the fabric. Seersucker and linen just don't work for a Tennessee winter. If I lived in Florida, I might feel totally different.
Are you a staunch follower of the no-white rule or do you pretty much wear whatever you darn well please? There's no wrong answer friends…just different ideas and opinions. I love that we can share our ideas while loving & supporting each other! Happy Wednesday!

When I lived up north I followed the no white rule very strictly. However, since moving to Texas last year, I feel like I am dying in the heat. I don't want to put my open toed white shoes away...we are still in the hundreds here. I feel tacky, but I would rather not faint from heat exhaustion (I have done that before). I never did understand how that rule got started in the South where it is SO HOT!ReplyDelete
I can't get over it either...I like to put away the white after Labor Day, too. However...I say that having yet to change my handbag (white!).ReplyDelete
Absolutely, 100% agree, and I had even thought about blogging about this very topic! The only difference I have is that I won't wear white until after Easter, not Memorial Day. Easter- Labor Day is for white. And like you said, the weight of the fabric, the exact shade of white all come into play. I actually had an off-white wool winter coat that was beautiful. But white shoes? After Labor Day they are only for babies and brides.ReplyDelete
Yankees write the fashion magazines anyway.
I am with Fairhope Supply! I use Easter as my green light for white and tend to shy away from it after Labor Day. Certainly, NO white shoes after Labor day. A dress or a skirt may slide by though :)ReplyDelete
I stick to the rule. I still remember having a standards meeting every year the week before labor day about the no white or linen rule.ReplyDelete
I am the same as Fairhope Supply- after Easter through Labor Day. I feel weird wearing white eyelet after Labor Day for sure. I think it all depends on the fabric, etc.ReplyDelete
I don't usually wear white, ever. It's the worst color on me (having black hair and white skin.) I think there are ways to get passed the rule. Winter white is obviously acceptable, or a white t with jeans.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousSeptember 13, 2012 at 12:19 AM
I did go up in Florida and live here now (after a short stint in Texas), and the rule in my Southern family has always been from Easter to Labor Day. My white shoes and purses are now put away. The only exception might be sneakers (in my school colors of green, orange, and white) to a football game. To Sparkles, there are plenty of open toe shoes in other colors. I actually still wear hose to work and church, and I do so in the Southern heat. I am more old school than many of my friends, but I know I have a long line of female ancestors who would be proud to know that I was "raise right" and that "it stuck!" :-)ReplyDelete
