Neil Patrick Harris Photographs His Twins in Silly Costumes
If Neil Patrick Harris ever wants to take a break from acting, he might just have a shot at a career in photography.
The dad of twins Gideon Scott and Harper Grace, 8 months, has taken a liking to setting up adorable – and festive! – photo shoots with his little ones that correspond to monthly holidays.
"We take pictures of them sometimes," Harris, 37, who is hosting Sunday's Tony Awards, said on Thursday's The Late Show with David Letterman, as a snapshot of the twins looking lucky for St. Patrick's Day flashed on the screen. "We go to Party City and get all the great stuff."
In the picture, the twins donned matching green leprechaun hats – baby girl Harper even holds a prop beer glass – for the St. Patrick's Day-themed shoot. For April, Harris and his longtime partner David Burtka played up an Easter classic – fuzzy, floppy bunny ears.
The precious pictures continued in May, when the twins got silly for Cinco de Mayo with a mini sombrero (Gideon) and, in an apparent homage to Mexican painter Frida Kahlo, a costume unibrow (Harper).
"We do one a month," he said. "We're doing a calendar, so that when they're older, we can humiliate them and embarrass them."

Rackspace Cloud Essentials - Rescue Mode on Linux Cloud Servers
If your Linux system has become non-bootable or is suffering from critical system errors, you can use rescue mode to recover your system data. These problems may be caused by file system corruption, boot file corruption, or other configuration errors. Normally, if your system encounters any problem during the boot process, you would boot in to a maintenance mode environment known as Single User Mode that would allow you to login with your root password and check for any errors. Using Single User Mode can cause the following issues:
Your system is read-only and you cannot make corrective changes. Most services such as networking are disabled. This would prevent you from copying your data to another server.
You would have to access your server using the Console, which is slower than using a traditional SSH login.
To avoid having to use single user mode, start your server up in rescue mode in the Cloud Control Panel.
Put your server into rescue mode
Rescue mode grants the root user full access to your non-bootable server's filesystem. You can use it to modify problems in configuration files or to copy data from your Cloud Server to a remote location. Rescue Mode through the Cloud Control Panel is similar to booting into single-user mode with networking enabled.
Log in to the Cloud Control Panel and select Servers.
Click the gear menu next to the server and select Enter Rescue Mode.
Read the information in the pop-up window, then press Enter Rescue Mode.
Copy the temporary password and click Dismiss Password.
Note: The green bar to the left of the server name will turn yellow during the process of building into Rescue Mode and then red when the process has completed. This may take several minutes.
After your server is in rescue mode, use an SSH client to connect to your server using the public IP address and the temporary root password to log in to rescue mode.
Troubleshoot your server in rescue mode
Before you can access the files on your server, you must mount the server's file system. To do that, look at your partitions to determine your file system's device.
Note: If you plan to use
fsck on this filesystem, DO NOT MOUNT the filesystem.
Log into your server in rescue mode and run the following command:
fdisk -l
You will get the following output:
Note the different disk names. The disk entry will display the device and size of the disk. For example: Disk /dev/xvdb1: 20 GiB
The first block, /dev/xvdb1, with size 20 GiB, is the rescue mode filesystem.
The second block, /dev/xvda1, with size of 20 GiB, is the server's file system. The size will vary depending on the size of your server.
If a third block is displayed, it is the swap volume. Note: This only occurs only on older cloud servers).
When you've identified the block for your server's file system, note the part after
diskthat looks like a file path. In the example above, the device is /dev/xvda1. The device will vary depending on the distribution image used to build your server. Now that you know your file system's device, you can assign it a directory and mount it for access. Plug your file system device into the following command in place of /dev/diskdevice.
mount /dev/diskdevice /mnt
For example, for /dev/sda1 the command would be:
mount /dev/xvda1 /mnt
Now you can access your files through the /mnt directory. Just remember that you'll need to put "/mnt" in front of the usual paths you'd use to get to files. For example, if you have a problem in the /etc/fstab file you need to fix, you'd actually access that file at:
If you just edit /etc/fstab while in rescue mode, you will change the
fstabfor the rescue mode file system, not your normal file system.
Exit rescue mode
Once you are done troubleshooting your system, click Exit Rescue Mode in the Cloud Control Panel on your Server Details page.

EXCLUSIVE: Van Persie gives Ferguson a Real boost ahead of Madrid showdown
Robin van Persie will be fit to face Real Madrid in next week's Champions League clash, despite picking up a bizarre hip injury during Manchester United's win over Queens Park Rangers.
Van Persie fell into a TV camera pit at Loftus Road after losing his balance while setting up Rafael's thunderbolt opener for United in the 23rd minute.
After receiving lengthy treatment he soldiered on, but his discomfort was such that Sir Alex Ferguson was forced to replace his prolific striker with Danny Welbeck four minutes before the break.
Crocked: Van Persie was forced off in the first half at QPR on Saturday
Despite the scare, Van Persie's injury is limited to bruising, so he is only expected to be out of training for two to three days.
It remains to be seen whether
Ferguson chooses to keep Van Persie in reserve when United entertain
Norwich on Saturday, just three days ahead of the second leg against
Real at Old Trafford on March 5.
United are well placed after Welbeck grabbed a precious away goal in the first-leg 1-1 draw in Madrid.
At Loftus Road, United were again indebted to one of football's finest veterans as they moved another step closer to reclaiming the Premier League trophy.
Down and out: Van Persie had to be taken off with the injury
Over the years QPR boss Harry
Redknapp has relied on a few players in the autumn of their careers, but
he has never had a player of Ryan Giggs' class.
And how Redknapp must have wished
Giggs had not decided to be a one-club man as he watched the 39-year-old
pull the strings for United in the 999th competitive game of his
Giggs was brilliant, picking out passes with incredible vision and dictating the tempo before sealing United's win with an accurate strike. He even had a hand in United's opener, stealing the ball off Adel Taarabt to begin the attack which culminated in Rafael's screamer.
'It is getting boring,' joked Rafael when asked to sum up Giggs. 'He is an unbelievable player. Every game you see him, he works hard, scores, makes assists.
Pulling the strings: Ryan Giggs enjoyed another stellar display on his 999th competitive United appearance
'He is just such a good player. He's the same in training; he just loves the game. He gives us experience, confidence and when you are feeling bad he comes and helps you, especially young players. Sometimes a young player finds it tough and he helps. He pulls the player aside. He spoke to me a lot when I was young. He knows it from playing for 22 years.'
A succinct summing up of Giggs'
importance to the cause, on and off the field, from a player who had yet
to celebrate his first birthday when his teammate made his United
Redknapp celebrates his 66th birthday
when QPR next go in search of a vital win which he hopes will spark a
remarkable comeback. That game takes place away to his former club
Net gains: Rafael opened the scoring with a stunning strike in United's 2-0 win at Loftus Road
'I thought there is no better way to
spend my birthday than getting 90 minutes of abuse at Southampton
Football Club,' quipped the QPR manager.
'They will be calling me scummer for my time at Portsmouth. I thought, "That's a great way to spend my 66th birthday".'
Earplugs would seem to be the perfect present, but Redknapp would doubtless be delighted to unwrap three crucial points.

The Strange Career Path of Super Mario
After the plumbing thing didn't work out, Mario went on to be a juggler, a soldier, and even a pinball flipper!
Super Mario: Pilot
As Seen In: Alleyway (Game Boy), Super Mario Land (Game Boy)
Mario's well known for riding around on vehicles ranging from go-karts to Yoshi, but in the early days of Game Boy he piloted everything from a paddle-shaped UFO in Alleyway to an airplane and submarine in Super Mario Land.

THERE WAS A WRECKING CREW SEQUEL!?Posted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by king_mob
"Wrecking Crew" was one of the first games I ever owned for the NES, along with Super Mario, Gyrus, Excitebike and Donkey Kong Jr. But I never knew until now that the SNES had gotten a sequel. And why would I? Being released in 1998, a full two years after the debut of Nintendo 64, it pretty much came at a time when the SNES was as dead as the dodo.
I have to say, I'm very curious about playing it, though. The first one was a highly challenging puzzle platformer with a cool level editor. How strange that they waited a full twelve years to do a sequel. I guess we're due for another WC game for the Wii!
You forgot to mention...Posted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by PLERGOTH
What ever the job was called, that one he does in Yoshi´s cookies for GameBoy, you know. The one where Mario´s at the bottom of the screen Shifting cookies towers form one side to the other?

yeah they missed all those instead put ones from the crappy cartoon wich was made up by the writers at DiC i say stick with the actual info from the games. the cartoon may have been licensed by nintendo i doubt they had any input in making them.
yeahPosted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by projectrunaway
They should of not included stuff from the cartoon series only the game.
to all the big kids posting before me..Posted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by XnakedX
first. the fact that he didnt name e v e r y little thing is almost GENIUS. Why? Because it got people thinking. It gets people talking. Threw in a couple of things and then the hardcore mario lovers get to come out and show their stuff. Besides, If this article were 100 pages long I sure as hell wouldnt read it.
second. while we're on Mr.Lametowatch....your list looks extensive because you named every sport...you were right in your summing up "olympic athlete" but shouldve just said "athlete" in general..or else name every olympic event and, btw, boxing ref was said in the article...there were words underneath those pictures.
finally, how old are we? i remember sitting in front of my tv watching the cartoon while eat my (nasty) super mario bros. chocolate chip cookies...and that makes me laugh a little. Why not just take the article as a small piece to remind of us of things we love instead of dissecting every post and trying to figure out who pays the bills for this website.
holy crap.
jeezPosted: Feb 04, 2011 12:00AM PST by failedhornet
It's not comprehensive for a reason...Posted: Feb 05, 2011 12:00AM PST by KyleOrl
As I mentioned above, I was not going for a comprehensive list, but for a selection of the oddest and least-known of his professions. All the sport ones you mention, as well as the referee from Punch-out (which I mention) and the graffiti cleaner (from Super Mario sunshine) are waaaaay too obvious and pedestrian.
Also, he doesn't really show up as a typing teacher or a pre-school teacher in those games... he's jsut around while those things are being taught.
As for "evil villian," I think that's more of a calling than a job =P

Taiwan News, Staff Writer
President Ma Ying-jeou said Friday said Friday he would cancel the show as well as a visit by First Lady Chow Mei-ching if the word ŌĆ£nationalŌĆØ was not used in the museumŌĆÖs name on promotional material by midnight Saturday.
Taiwan government leaders saw the absence of the word on some posters as an insult to the countryŌĆÖs dignity and said they would put respect for the name above the need for cultural exchanges.
The Japanese museum initially said it could not do anything about outside posters for the June 24-September 15 exhibition which showed the name of the Taiwanese museum as the ŌĆ£Taipei Palace Museum.ŌĆØ
After the ultimatum was made clear, the Tokyo National Museum said it would agree to either replace the posters or remove them altogether, though some of the larger ones along rail tracks might need more time to handle. The National Palace Museum had reportedly not agreed to extend the deadline beyond midnight Saturday, or 11 p.m. Taiwan time.
TaiwanŌĆÖs representative office in Tokyo reportedly spent at least 16 hours negotiating with the Japanese museum before a result was reached. Asked whether Chow would still travel to the opening ceremony, an official said they were still preparing for the visit.
The National Palace Museum issued three official demands on Friday evening, including the acceptance of its requests, a written promise from the media to replace or remove the posters without the term ŌĆ£nationalŌĆØ before the deadline until the museum was satisfied. The Taiwanese museum warned it would send inspectors to check whether the offending posters had been taken down or not.
An official ceremony with a news conference to open boxes and unveil the treasures in Tokyo was canceled Friday as a result of the dispute. The government said previous exhibitions in the United States and in several European countries never had a problem mentioning the museumŌĆÖs full official name.
Critics in Taiwan said the Ma Administration had failed to take a similar strong stance when China was the one denigrating Taiwanese names, titles or flags.
ChowŌĆÖs trip was to be a Taiwanese First LadyŌĆÖs first to Japan on a cultural mission since both countries ended official diplomatic relations in 1972.
The centerpiece of the show was to be the ŌĆ£Jadeite Cabbage,ŌĆØ one of the National Palace MuseumŌĆÖs most famous pieces of art. A total of more than 200 treasures would be on show first in Tokyo and later at the Kyushu National Museum in Fukuoka Prefecture from October 7 to November 30.

WASHINGTON — Reflecting Americans' increasing acceptance of gays, the Senate on Thursday approved legislation that would bar workplace discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
Gay rights advocates hailed the bipartisan, 64-32 vote as historic although it could prove short-lived. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has signaled that the Republican-led House is unlikely to even vote.
Seventeen years after a similar measure failed by one vote, 54 members of the Senate Democratic majority and 10 Republicans voted for the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. It is the first major gay rights bill since Congress repealed the ban on gays serving openly in the military three years ago.
"All Americans deserve a fair opportunity to pursue the American dream," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a chief sponsor of the bill.
Proponents cast the effort as Congress following the lead of business and localities as some 90 percent of Fortune 500 companies and 22 states have outlawed employment discrimination against gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
Supporters described it as the final step in a long congressional fight against discrimination, coming nearly 50 years after enactment of the Civil Rights Act and 23 years after the Americans with Disabilities Act.
"Now we've finished the trilogy," said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, a chief sponsor of the disabilities law, at a Capitol Hill news conference.
Two Republican senators who voted against anti-discrimination legislation in 1996, Arizona's John McCain and Orrin Hatch of Utah, backed the measure this time. Alaska Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski voted in favor; her father, Frank, opposed a similar bill nearly two decades ago, underscoring the generational shift.

McCoy Tyner
MT: I think John picked me because he heard something. He told me about Elvin. I did't even know who Elvin was. I knew who Hank was, but I didn't know who Elvin was. And Thad. I met Thad later. But he said, 'This cat Elvin Jones, I think he's (something).' Because we had some other drummers before that, but he thought Elvin would be the best drummer and he was right. He was the best drummer (for the group). So he heard certain things in your playing. He heard some things in your playing that he liked. Otherwise, just like with Jimmy (Garrison), he heard, you know. And my brother-in-law before that, they played together in Philly, because Steve (Davis) was on the original gig . . . but then when he heard Jimmy, because Jimmy was with Ornette and he wanted that kind of free playing, too.
AAJ: Your first record with the band for Impulse was Africa Brass. You had already had an interest in Africa before that.
MT: Yeah. This guy was studying political at Temple University, Saka, and it was during the sixties. It was about identification, historically. You wanted to culturally identify the roots. A lot of people were doing it at that time. It wasn't all about politics. Some writers made it out to be political, but just like anything else, you want to know about your history. It doesn't mean you're political. To (some writers) everything had to be political. I told them I wasn't playing music because of that. We were playing because of the cultural identification. Not even that. We're just playing music because we're musicians, basically. You want to talk about identification, okay. But it's not because of politics. I never liked politics that much.
AAJ: You were also once a member of Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers. What was that experience like? How did it affect your playing?
MT: Yeah, he was an eventful cat, he always kept something going. He was so heavily rooted. Lee Morgan and I grew up together, so a lot of those songs . . . it was like for instance before I played with Max (Roach), (I played with him for a week in Philly), we knew a lot of the songs already. So when he came thought I knew a lot of the songs because i was playing them. But, like I was saying, Lee and I came up together and he kind of wrote in the Art Blakey style. That was just him. He was a very funky trumpet player and knowledgeable.
AAJ: Who was in the edition of the Messengers you played with?
MT: Let see it was Slide Hampton, Bill Hardman, this young guy Frank, I think it was Frank. He got killed. (Frank Mitchell'tenor player). Yeah, young guy. He was in the band. Juni Booth was on bass. Then Billy Harper joined the band. That was after (I was with) Trane. You see what happened, after John. After I left the band they had a tour, I did a tour of Japan called the drum battle with Elvin, Art Blakey and Tony Williams. They called it the jazz battle, the drum battle. So you know I was around Art, we were around Art a lot. So he asked me, you know, he wanted to join his band. So I said well, you know (?) ' I said okay. I stayed with him about seven months, something like that, because I was already working on doing my own thing. And we didn't even record with that band. It's not documented. But we had a lot of fun. One time we were playing in L.A. and he was, his sound was so surrounding you. I felt like I was levitating. I thought the band, I tell you, I thought I was up in the air because the sound was (swoosh). All those years of playing! Elvin was the only guy I knew who could do that. He had a lot of respect for Art. We all did.
AAJ: Can you describe your composing process? What inspires you to write a song? Do you just sit down a whip up a batch when you have a record date?
MT: In most cases that's the way it's happened. If I have a record date I write for it. But, I have written . . . like 'Fly With The Wind,' is one of my favorite songs and 'Search For Peace,' I just wrote off the top of my head. But most of times when I've got a record date I know I've got to write some music, that's what I've got to do. I've written a few things just when I felt like it. 'Fly With The Wind,' I was in Cleveland, Ohio one day and that song just came into my head. I started out that way. I had a r & b band when I was a teenager, like when I was about fourteen I had a band with a few of my school guys. I had a seven piece band and I wrote for the band. I knew how to write and then my compositions would go on forever. I said, 'Man I'm writing a symphony here. When am I can shorten things.' I just kept on hearing things and writing. Like three tunes in one. Then you've got to mark them. (laughs) But I learned that, that was just a period.
AAJ: I read somewhere that you played in an r & b band with Ike and Tina Turner?
MT: That was a mistake. Azar Lawrence (who was in my band) played with Ike and Tina Turner. If I had worked with Tina Turner I wouldn't have forgotten it. That was a mistake someone wrote. Just like the Africa Brass Session, if you look it says McCoy Turner. I said, 'Wait a minute. First I played with Ike and Tina Turner, now my name is Turner.' They never corrected that. If you buy Africa Brass now, it still says Turner. I told them, I said 'Wait a minute man. You got my name..."

The Center for Community Alternatives (CCA) is a leader in the field of community-based alternatives to incarceration. Our mission is to promote reintegrative justice and a reduced reliance on incarceration through advocacy, services and public policy development in pursuit of civil and human rights.
CCA serves people in trouble: youth at risk; families in crisis; people struggling to address drug and alcohol problems and HIV and AIDS; and people who have been involved in the criminal justice system who are seeking community reintegration and productive, law-abiding lives. CCA endeavors to address these issues by emphasizing personal empowerment, self-respect and concern for one's community.
Norman Brown was granted clemency by President Obama in 2015 after serving 20 years in federal prison for a nonviolent drug conviction at the age of 22. We are proud to have Norman as part of the CCA family. He is the Deputy Director of Project New Opportunity, CCA's first project based in Washington, DC. PNO connects people being released from federal prison by Presidential commutation and sentence modifications to reentry resources in their home communities.

The Alliance for Safety and Justice has released Crime Survivors Speak, a report on the findings from their National Survey of Victim's Views. By a 2 to 1 margin, victims prefer that the criminal justice system focus more on rehabilitating people who commit crimes than punishing them.
"Education Suspended: The Use of High School Disciplinary Records in College Admissions" - This report highlights findings from CCA's national surveys of college admissions officials and high school guidance counselors. It concludes that the collection and disclosure of high school disciplinary records in the college admissions process is arbitrary and likely to disproportionately create barriers to higher education for students of color and students with disabilities.

Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri offers five, fun, hands-on engineering programs-in-a-box to its members.
The goals of the program are to:
Survival skills meet science as girls design water filters, wind-powered cranks, a message-carrying car and safe shelter for a make-believe camping trip in Yellowstone National Park. After an earthquake strikes the fictional campground, electrical power, food and water source are unavailable. Girls will you get out of this predicament by applying their engineering, problem-solving and design savvy.
Girl Scout leadership programs enhance girls' knowledge in areas of relationship building, effective communication and self-expression.
Welcome to a crazy carnival of your troop's creation. Explore simple machines all around. Build a merry-go-round, a bean-bag toss and a race car. Levers, pulleys, screws and gears abound as girls engineer the ultimate playground.
Girl Scouts of the USA has worked in collaboration with Techbridge to offer three ways to Engineer Your Journey.
We invite you to use a Journey Planner to infuse your Girl Scout Leadership Experience with the engineering flair of the accompanying Girls Go Techbridge program-in-a-box.
These planners offer tips to integrate hands-on engineering activities into Journeys for Girl Scout Juniors and Seniors.
Research shows that role models are important for expanding career options and exposing girls to STEM careers. Through a partnership with Girls Go Techbridge, Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri now offers STEM Role Model Training. Let us know how we can bring this training to your business, school or organization.
Exciting news! Our Role Models Matter toolkit now has 4 new modules!
For more information contact Michelle Johnson 314.592.2344 email@example.com
Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri is a proud United Way member and is supported by the following United Way Agencies: United Way of Greater St. Louis, United Way of the Mark Twain Area, United Way of Adair County/Northeast Missouri, United Way of St. Francois County, Franklin County Area United Way.

Why the U.S. Needs Nuclear Power
Other clean energy sources can't meet the needs of a growing economy.
As America climbs out of one of its worst recessions in decades, we must keep in mind that long-term economic growth requires an abundant, affordable supply of electricity.
By 2030, electricity demand in the U.S. is expected to grow by 21% from its current level, according to the U.S. Energy Administration. To meet our needs we have several options.
One is to increase our dependence on fossil energy sources. Unfortunately, this will only add to the environmental burden caused by burning carbon-based fuels. Another option, the Obama administration's goal, is to increase the supply of energy sources that reduce the country's carbon footprint. These sources include solar, wind, hydro, biofuels and geothermal energy, as well as new domestic sources of natural gas, which burns cleaner than oil or coal.
Toward that end, the proposed Senate climate-change bill, sponsored by Sens. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) and John Kerry (D., Mass.), provides incentives to electric companies to use energy sources that reduce carbon emissions. The bill also expands federal loan guarantees to support the financing of new nuclear plant projects.
These loan guarantees are crucial for providing the financial security that's needed to build advanced nuclear energy plants. These new plants will promote energy independence, improve our country's economic competitiveness, and help provide a cleaner environment for future generations.
To be sure, the U.S needs to embrace all forms of renewable and sustainable energy technologies whenever possible. But the simple, unavoidable truth is that all renewable energy sources produce only a small percentage of our total electricity output. Wind and solar combined, for example, account for less than 5% of the total U.S. electricity supply. It is doubtful that they can be scaled up to a degree that would make a significant impact on rising electricity demand over the short or intermediate term.
Greater energy efficiency and conservation also make good business and environmental sense. But a 21% growth in demand for electric power, compounded by the need to replace aging power plants, is too great to satisfy with energy efficiency and conservation alone.
Nuclear energy, therefore, must play a larger role in our effort to become and remain energy independent, and to reduce carbon emissions. The growth of nuclear power will also have peripheral benefits, as it constitutes an economic stimulus package in and of itself.
To date, the recent growth of the nuclear energy industry has created at least 15,000 jobs, with many more on the horizon. Westinghouse's work alone in the deployment of four new nuclear plants now under construction in China will create or sustain an additional 5,000 U.S. jobs in 20 states. These jobs are in fields such as engineering and design, and in the manufacturing of fuel rods and assemblies, pumps, motors, circuit breakers, etc.
Beyond that, the American Council on Global Nuclear Competitiveness (a trade group) estimates the nuclear energy industry will create as many as 350,000 jobs over the next 20 years, many in traditional building trades (welders, pipe-fitters, construction workers) that have been hard hit by both global competition and the current economic downturn.
These projections are grounded in reality. To date, 25 new nuclear power plants have been announced for the U.S., 14 of them by Westinghouse. We expect the first of these new plants to come online about 2016.
Meanwhile, China and India have announced major nuclear power construction programs that will bring as many as 50 new plants online in each country over the next two decades. Nuclear power plants have proven to be the low-cost source of baseload electricity (electricity in large volume that is required all the time, and which is generated essentially only by coal and nuclear fuel). And as countries such as China and India increase the percentage of electricity generated by nuclear energy, American businesses and manufacturing companies will be at a distinct competitive disadvantage if they are forced to rely on electricity generated by comparatively more expensive energy sources.
President Barack Obama has repeatedly stated his belief that nuclear energy must play an important part in America's energy future, and he supports the Senate climate-change bill. In a town-hall meeting in New Orleans on Oct. 15, the president said: "We need to increase domestic energy production, employ safe nuclear energy like France, but also develop new sources of energy efficiency."
Mr. Obama's reference to France is highly relevant to the controversial issue of how to manage used reactor fuel rods. Until very recently, the U.S. government and nuclear energy utilities had planned to place this material in deep storage at Yucca Mountain in Nevada. However, because of political considerations, storage at Yucca Mountain will likely never happen.
Instead, Westinghouse and others in the industry are exploring alternatives such as the recycling of used fuel. This technology, developed in the 1970s, is used in France, which is the world's most nuclear-dependent and energy-independent country. Used fuel rods contain upwards of 85% of their original energy. Tapping this energy through recycling is environmentally sound and consistent with the goal of energy independence.
With huge new finds of domestic natural gas and a commitment to renewables, the U.S. has never been closer to realizing true energy independence. But to seize this opportunity, nuclear energy and renewable energy sources must be developed in harmony to provide the abundant clean energy that the American economy needs to grow.
Dr. Candris is president and CEO of Westinghouse Electric Co.

Magic Beat Pacers, Win 5 Straight at Home
The Orlando Magic have played very well at home lately. They have won their last five home games, which includes wins against?the Lakers, Bucks, Pistons, Thunder and Pacers.
The last two wins are the ones that really stand out. The Thunder are at the top of the West and the Pacers are the top of the East. Most thought that the Magic would not win against these elite teams and its understandable. Both teams have All-Stars and years of experience that the Magic lack. In both games, the Thunder and the Pacers led by as many as 17 points but in the fourth quarter the Magic's second unit stepped up and successfully closed out the games.
The young bunch that makes up the second unit have been nicknamed the "Young Guns." This group is made by rookie Victor Oladipo, Maurice Harkless, Kyle O'Quinn, E'Twaun Moore and Tobias Harris. Oladipo did a great job in the second half against the Pacers as he?scored 13 of his 23 points in the final quarter.?He came out and played with a lot of energy and confidence,?which gave the rest of the team momentum.?The older guys on the Magic's roster like Jameer Nelson, Arron Afflalo and Glen Davis attribute the second unit success to staying focused and their improved confidence.
"We messed around too much, didn't close the game out and we let them hang around. This is on us," Roy Hibbert said after the game. He finished the game with six points, seven rebounds, three assists and three turnovers.
The Magic were locked in defensively throughout the game and it paid off. When they played the Pacers in Indiana earlier in the month, the Pacers not only outscored them 98-79 but also out rebounded them 52-38. This time around it was different, the Magic not only walked away with the win but they also out rebounded the Pacers 48-41.
Thirteen?of those 41 rebounds?came from the Magic's double-double machine Nikola Vucevic. The Montenegrin native also tallied 19 points and recorded the team's only block of the night. Teammate Glen Davis finished the night with nine points and five rebounds.
The guys on the Magic roster are hoping they can translate their home success on the road. They are 3-23 on the road this season and will like to see if they can change that when the head back on the road after the All-Star break.?
Up next, the Magic will host the Memphis Grizzlies Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. ET.

Varsity Team of the Week: Fort LeBoeuf wrestling
A week that began with its first-ever home dual in the PIAA Class AA tournament ended like many others before for Fort LeBoeuf's wrestling team.
The Bison, coached by Tim Simon, placed in the state's small-school meet for the fourth consecutive season. They finished third for a second straight year thanks to their 38-19 win over Chestnut Ridge in last Saturday's consolation final at Hershey's Giant Center.
LeBoeuf went 6-1 against state competition, and finished with an overall dual record of 15-5. Its lone tournament loss was to eventual three-time champion Bethlehem Catholic by a 39-18 score in the championship quarterfinals.
"We've got a great coaching staff that also puts in hard work and pushes the team toward greatness," Bison senior Evan Daley said.
Daley was the only LeBoeuf wrestler who finished the tournament with a 7-0 record. Five of his victories in the 220-pound weight class were by pin.
Six-time tournament winners for the Bison were lightweight Jarret Carter and middleweight Brad Malinowski. Middleweight George McGuire also won five matches.
The Bison, seeded second from District 10, beat Chartiers-Houston 41-21 in a AA pigtail dual at Waterford on Feb. 4. They later beat Central Columbia 34-12 at Hershey before Bethlehem Catholic dropped them into the AA consolation brackets.
LeBoeuf's bronze-medal run included a 37-23 victory over D-10 third seed Saegertown.

- Match report: Chelsea 2-1 Man City
Good afternoon and welcome to our coverage of the afternoon's 4pm kick-offs in the Premier League.
Our main focus, of course, is the top-of-the-table showdown betweenChelseaandManchester City. Both clubs spent big over the summer and will be keen to put a marker down in the Premier League title race.
Elsewhere, West Ham travel to play Swansea, while Spurs host Hull. We'll keep you up to date will all the goals from those games as well.

90 MINUTES TO GO and the fans are already starting to arrive at White Hart Lane for Spurs v Hull #TOTHUL pic.twitter.com/9jiTUbehHi— Premier League (@premierleague) October 27, 2013
There is a very real possibility, ladies and gentlemen, that today's match is the most expensive in history. And I don't mean in terms of ticket prices (this isn't the Emirates, you know).
I'm talking, of course, about transfer fees. Check out our gallery to find which of these multi-million-pound line-ups is the more valuable.
Is this a message?
Well, yes. Obviously it's a message but is Jose Mourinho trying to tell us that he'll be playing route one today?
Nah, probably not but we liked the picture.

We've already heard every tiresome cliché there is to hear about City v Chelsea.
El cashico, el plastico, el crapico or any other number of fairly rubbish puns have flitted around social media all week.
However easy it is to criticise these sides for their billionaire buyouts in recent years, it's worth reading this very considered look by Miguel Delaney at how their DNA has indisputably been changed with new ownership.
Before they were billionaires: Chelsea and Manchester City's greatest XIs tell us much about their changing histories
Pellegrini's selection calls are the surprise package, writes Martin Lipton from Stamford Bridge.
Demichelis has not kicked a ball for City but lines up alongside Nastasic, with Javi Garcia presumably holding alongside Fernandinho, allowing Yaya Toure to play further forward.
Toure and Fernandinho both individually dominated Chelsea last season, for City and Shakhtar respectively, now they are in the same team. Can Chelsea, with Lampard and Ramires in front of the back-line, gain parity at least?
Aguero likely to be the furthest forward for City. Fair to predict there won't be to many high crosses in open play. Mourinho, 64 unbeaten Premier League games at the Bridge, goes with Torres up front.
The Spaniard is still looking for his first League goal of the season. Cahill gets the nod at the back - meaning no place for either Luiz or Mata. Mind you, Ba, De Bruyne and Bertrand don't even get on the bench......!
Nearly time for kick-off here, so a final look at one of the key battles today.
Pellegrini goes with a midfield three for the first time, and Fernandinho's role will be fascinating.
Has he been given more of his natural box-to-box freedom today?
Aaaand we're off!
Chelsea kick off and immediately go on the attack with Schurrle released down the left-hand side.
However, City manage to break it up when Hazard's flick is a little clever for the German and the Blues now look to build from the back.
Positive start from Chelsea who are no doubt encouraged by Pellegrini's pragmatism.
If I recall correctly, this is the first time we've seen a major change of shape from City since he took over and it will be interesting to see how his players respond.
Fortunately, it's not too unfamiliar a shape for those at the club last year, but the hosts are on top of them regardless.
Our Chief Sports Writer Ollie Holt is enjoying the start made by David Silva.
City are growing into the game, and a lot of that has been helped by Samir Nasri and Silva drifting in off the flanks to combine with Yaya Toure.
That's one hell of a midfield, surely the best in the league up there with Arsenal?

Spurs have begin on the front foot against Hull, with Lewis Holtby prominent.
The Germany playmaker appears to be finding his feet after an on-off start to his White Hart Lane career.
He will hope to find space behind former Tottenham man Tom Huddlestone as the hosts go forward.
City now on top after their slow first few minutes.
Some nice passing combinations in midfield allowing them to weave up the pitch, but it's actually a brilliant diagonal ball over the defence that catches out Chelsea, finding David Silva clear in the box only for him to miss his teammates with the cut-back.
Dangerous stuff though, and the visitors will be enjoying this so far.
Another good opening for City.
Yaya Toure exchanges passes with Gael Clichy on the left, and the Ivorian turns brilliantly to saunter into the box.
As with Silva before, his cut-back only finds a Chelsea boot but City win a corner....
...which comes to nothing.
Sky Blues still on top.
Frank Lampard goes in the book for a foul on Fernandinho.
The Brazilian was threatening to break away on the counter before being scythed down by the England man.
Chelsea need to get hold of the ball here.
Martin Lipton has been in touch from Stamford Bridge:
Demichelis looked like a player who had been out for months at the start and Cahill might have made him pay when the off-side trap fell apart. But Silva and Nasri beginning to spin their webs when City get in possession.
Fernandinho seems at home, while Garcia is sitting sensibly.
There are too many over-hit passes from Chelsea seeking to get in behind from deep, and I'm not convinced that's going to work. We shall see.
City asking more, tougher questions but Chelsea's answers lack some conviction.
And Jose's got his winter coat on. Blow winds, blow.....
Hull are working their way back into the game at White Hart Lane.
Tom Huddlestone is at the centre of most of their good play, with Yannick Sagbo a physical presence in attack.
The Tigers will have to go some to break this excellent Spurs defence down, however.
It's still 0-0 in Swansea.
City on top but Chelsea have arguably the best chance of the game so far.
A swirling cross is whipped over from deep on the right flank and both blue shirts in the penalty area conspire to miss it completely, Fernando Torres under some duress.
There is a meek penalty shout, but it's summarily ignored by the officials.
But Chelsea are fighting back here, Torres blazes another opportunity over just moments later and the hosts are growing in confidence.

Matija Nastasic is now in the book.
The wee Serb barged into Torres as he raced away to start a counter.
The Blues looking good now, City have lost all rhythm.
