Radioactive waste is any waste which emits alpha, beta or gamma radiation. If not managed properly it can be dangerous and there can be a risk of pollution to the environment. It must be stored until the radioactivity has decreased to levels which are no longer dangerous, or disposed of and kept isolated from people and the environment for a very long time. However, not all waste is the same: there are different types according to levels of radioactivity and the length of time for which the waste remains radioactive.
"Short-lived" radioactive waste need only be managed for up to 30 years, after which time levels of radioactivity are negligible. This applies to low-level and some intermediate-level wastes. Other low-level and intermediate-level waste should be placed in a repository for several hundred years, because the radionuclides in the waste are "long-lived". However, this especially applies to high-level waste and spent nuclear fuel, which will remain radioactive for a much longer time (beyond 100 000 years) and should be isolated from the biosphere in specially-designed containers deep underground in well-chosen geological sites. There are currently programmes underway to build deep underground disposal facilities for this purpose (see press kit on radioactive waste). They are called deep geological repositories.
The objective of a geological repository is to provide protection of humans and the environment from the hazard that the radioactive waste would pose over time. Once waste is emplaced, there is no intention to retrieve it. In general, the geological disposal concept involves treating the waste in order to achieve a suitable physical and chemical form, packaging it inside long-lived engineered barriers emplaced deep underground, and sealing these facilities with appropriate materials. In these underground surroundings, as opposed to the surface environment, conditions remain stable over the long periods needed to allow the radioactivity to decay to a sufficiently low level. This would not require human intervention for the facility to achieve its safety goal.
Deep geological repositories are considered to be a solution to the problem of radioactive waste disposal because they are technically feasible and because no alternative for the long-term disposal of waste has been found.However, bringing to fruition the multi-decades task of siting and developing a repository demands a strong national commitment and a significant regional and local involvement. Delaying work on geological disposal (i.e. by adopting a "wait and see" strategy) would require increasingly more demanding care for the waste and its storage facilities. Waste stored near the surface will be more vulnerable over time to extreme natural events or terrorism than wastes disposed deep underground.
Radioactive waste arises from numerous industrial and medical processes, but the production of nuclear energy creates the most waste. The IAEA estimates that the generation of electricity from a typical 1 000 megawatt nuclear power station produces approximately 300m3 of low and intermediate-level waste per year and some 30 tonnes of high-level, solid, packed waste per year.
Globally, however, it is estimated that nuclear power plants and their fuel cycle support facilities produce 0.4 million tonnes of waste per year (excluding mining and extraction wastes). This is a relatively small amount compared with the volume of hazardous waste produced by other industries: some 400 million tonnes per year.
The cost of radioactive waste management will vary from country to country. Waste management programmes will typically be paid for by a charge on every megawatt of electricity produced, which goes into a fund which is often managed centrally or by a separate national organisation which administers the funds (that fund will accrue interest to constitute the capital required when the waste comes due).
Because the "back-end" is a relatively small part of total costs of nuclear power production, and because of the interest expected to be earned, the contributions required are relatively modest. For example, the United States levies 0.001 USD per kilowatt hour (kWh) on nuclear electricity production. Sweden levies 0.022 SEK, Japan 0.13 JPY, the Czech Republic 0.05 CZK, Bulgaria 3 percent of the electricity bill and Slovakia 6.8 percent. These differences reflect not only differences in national economics but also in the exact cost items covered (i.e. decommissioning is sometimes included and sometimes not). Some countries do not have an explicit levy per kWh of electricity, but they require the waste producers to set aside sufficient funding. This is the case in Switzerland where government controlled trust funds exist for both decommissioning and disposal.
The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency's Radioactive Waste Management Committee (RWMC) seeks to assist NEA member countries in developing safe, sustainable and societally acceptable strategies for the management of all types of radioactive materials. Much of the RWMC's work in this respect is focused on the management of long-lived waste and spent fuel. Two working parties contribute to these goals: the Forum on Stakeholder Confidence (FSC) and the Integration Group for the Safety Case (IGSC).
The FSC acts as a forum for multiple stakeholders to work together in addressing the challenges of decision-making in radioactive waste management. By facilitating partnerships between national, regional and local actors, the FSC works towards sustainable decision-making processes on how society can deal with radioactive waste. The IGSC acts as the technical advisory body to the RWMC, and works towards the safety of deep geological disposal facilities. It does this by addressing the technical issues in the design, study and evaluation of waste disposal systems, and by addressing the practical challenges of building a waste repository.
Other NEA Committees also have interests in the field of waste management: the Committee on Radiation Protection and Public Health (CRPPH) and the Nuclear Development Committee (NDC).

Banrural¹s assets stood at 35.48 billion quetzals
($4.53 billion) at mid-year, up from 30.35 billion quetzals the
year before and just 24.31 billion quetzals three years ago,
according to central bank data. It has nearly caught up to
second-placed G&T Continental¹s 35.91 billion
quetzals, and has become the second largest by deposits. That
said, catching Banco Industrial¹s 50.11 billion quetzals
of assets is still a tall order.
A focus on consumers and micro and small enterprises has
served Banrural well. Its profitability compares favorably with
the country¹s two largest banks. And it posted a return on
equity of 23.9% as of mid-year, second only to Continental,
which it bested in terms of return on assets of 2.7% to
Banrural efficiency ratio dipped over the awards period
a concern for analysts given the bank¹s size and
consumer lending concentration from 40.1% to 39%. Yet
despite ³weak² efficiency metrics, the bank
³compensates with high margins,² says Edgar
Cartagena, an analyst at Fitch Ratings.
Still, the focus of its lending, and a more limited revenue
diversification than the big banks, could leave it vulnerable
to any economic downturns. The bank is mainly geared towards
financing consumption, as well as micro, small and medium
companies, with a smaller share in corporate lending.
Guatemala¹s economy grew at 3.9% in 2011, and the
growth rate should average 3.3% between 2012 and 2014,
according to Fitch. Among today¹s chief sources of concern
are the country¹s high crime rate and social instability,
as well as in the prospect of a downturn in the US economy.
But Banrural¹s sound local franchise, high
profitability, strong capital metrics and ample deposit base,
as well as its improving capital ratios over the past five
years (which have stabilized over in the last two fiscal
years) have left the bank on a relatively sound footing. The
bank¹s core capital to risk weighted assets stood at a
high of 15.1% this June, well above the average of the
Guatemalan banking system. LF

After 42 years of oppression, the Libyan people hunted Gaddafi down and shot him to death, but not before he uttered some supremely ironic last words: "What you are doing is not allowed in Islamic law. Do you know right from wrong?" Allan Tannenbaum, AFP / Getty ImagesDominique Strauss-KahnThough the rape charges against him were eventually dropped and he may have even been set up by his political enemies, the arrest of Dominique Strauss-Kahn in May brought out enough allegations of boorish behavior to appall even the French. (Among the most recent charges: Strauss-Kahn was reportedly stopped by Paris police in 2009 in a park notorious for transvestite prostitutes.) For now, DSK's political career is DOA. Andrew Burton / Getty ImagesRaj RajaratnamIn a year when the 99 percent got a voice, few 1-percenters paid a greater price than Raj Rajaratnam, the disgraced founder of the Galleon Group who was sentenced to 11 years in prison for an insider-trading scandal. As for why Rajaratnam didn't take a plea deal, a Sri Lankan diplomat close to him told Newsweek that shortly before Rajaratnam was convicted, "he'd gone to the ola-leaf readers. They told him he'd be acquitted." Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General / AP PhotoJerry SanduskyFor a man who redefined what a college-football defense could be, former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky has done a hideous job with his own legal defense. Despite 40 counts of sexual abuse against minors—and more suits to be filed—Sandusky gave interviews in recent weeks to Bob Costas and The New York Times that only seemed to confirm the worst suspicions about him. As Buzz Bissinger argued on The Daily Beast: "What emerged, even by phone, was a pathological, perverted, delusional narcissist who somehow thought he could connive us into believing he had done nothing wrong." Red Huber, Orlando Sentinel / Getty ImagesCasey Anthony"There are no winners in this case," Casey Anthony's defense attorney Jose Baez said shortly after his client was acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter in 2008. (Even Anthony's parents questioned her innocence, calling the verdict "baseless" but a "fair decision.") Now free on probation, the 24-year-old Anthony was recently given a new honor—according to a public-opinion poll, she is now the most hated person in America. Bloomberg / Getty ImagesNews Corp.It was the scandal that brought down a 168-year-old British newspaper and threatened to topple Rupert Murdoch's entire media empire. But what made the revelations of phone hacking by News of the World and other British papers so shocking was not that reporters spied on celebrities or even royalty. Rather, it was that in an effort to sell more papers, the tabloids hacked the phones of a missing little girl and the families of soldiers killed in Iraq. That Murdoch himself was pied in the face during his testimony before Parliament last summer only seemed like just desserts. Scanpix Norway / ReutersAnders BreivikThe menacing smile on the face of Anders Breivik after his arrest for massacring 77 people in Norway last July only reinforced the insanity of his actions.

Brian Nguyen, Reuters / LandovUC Davis campus policeNearly 50 years after Bull Connor turned fire hoses on civil-rights activists in Birmingham, Ala., the campus police at the University of California, Davis, added 21st-century menace to crowd control by pepper-spraying nonviolent protesters who were supporting the Occupy Wall Street movement. While the two officers who were videotaped spraying demonstrators were eventually suspended, the school's chancellor said she had no plans to resign. Typically, the event became an Internet meme.

That's the lesson 20-year-old Mariah Yeater learned when she filed a paternity suit against Justin Bieber, claiming he had fathered her 3-month-old son after the two had sex backstage at one of his concerts a year ago. Within days, the Yeater Haters had threatened her life, and after Bieber called her bluff and took a DNA test, she dropped the suit. And tweens everywhere rejoiced.

What late-night comic—or average person with a Twitter feed—could resist? At first, Rep.

Several months after resigning from office, Weiner didn't exactly improve his image when he was photographed sporting a '70s porn 'stache.

But Egypt's president of 30 years refused to step down. One week later, Mubarak announced he would not contest the new elections in September, but on Feb. 11, after weeks of growing protests, Mubarak resigned. In May, the 83-year-old dictator was ordered to stand trial for murdering Egypt's peaceful protesters and other crimes of corruption. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Then in November, after the players had rejected what Stern said would be the owners' last offer, he apocalyptically announced that "we're about to go into the nuclear winter of the NBA." Thankfully for fans, it was a short winter—negotiations resumed and the season was saved. Matt York / AP PhotosJan BrewerArizona Gov.

Same-sex marriage petition drive kicks off in Bend
Oregon United for Marriage seeks spot on November 2014 ballot
BEND, Ore. - "Do you support marriage equality?"
Friday's hot weather wasn't stopping Bend resident Nate Lund from canvassing downtown Bend, asking people to support same-sex marriage in Oregon.
It's a question asked dozens of times in Bend, and echoed thousands of times across the state as Oregon United for Marriage launched an effort to collect signatures needed to place same-sex marriage on the November 2014 ballot.
"Our goal in the next 10 days is 10,000 signatures. Today, as many as we can get," said volunteer Marjo May-Korish.
More than 1,000 volunteers across the state came out to help, and about 100 locals hit the streets of Central Oregon, each hoping to collect at least 25 signatures.
"I'm going to try to get as many as I can," Lund said. "I believe in the Golden Rule, treat others as you would be treated."
Nine years ago, voters defined marriage as between one man and one woman, but petitioners say this time around, Oregon has changed.
"Obviously, for young people, it's a non-issue for most of them," May-Korish said. "People of my generation, older and younger are also coming to realize that we're just people and we all want to have the same rights."
Lund said he wants his loved ones to have the same rights that he does.
"I have many close friends who are gay and lesbians. I just hate to see them treated differently," Lund said.
At Portland's rally, Oregon United for Marriage Press Secretary Peter Zuckerman said gay marriage is now an open and regular conversation.
"More and more people are talking to their friends and family and neighbors and they're coming to understand gay and lesbian couples want to marry for similar reasons as anyone else, love and commitment," Zuckerman said.
More than 116,000 voter signatures must be collected to put gay marriage back on the ballot.
May-Korish said she expects a good chunk of those signatures will come from right here on the High Desert.
"Bend has always been a pace -setter, as far as doing the right thing, and I'm confident Central Oregon will take the lead on this initiative," May-Korish said.
But others say they can only follow God's lead -- and that if it comes to the ballot, they'll vote no.
"Family value is really important," said Prineville resident Jim Bachman. "And I think the true meaning of family is husband and wife."
It's a deeply divisive, of which Lund says the gap is closing.
"The numbers are changing, and they're changing pretty rapidly, I think it's going to pass. But, if it doesn't, I'll be back," Lund said.
Bachman said, "I just hope God will be the guiding light in whatever happens."
All signatures must be collected by next July, Oregon United for Marriage hopes to collect 10,000 signatures in the next 10 days.

With leading New Zealand Superbike rider Andrew Stroud out of this year's championship, it's been left to the rest of the Kiwi riders to keep Australian Robbie Bugden in check.
Things didn't quite work out at the opening round of the series at Ruapuna, January 5-6, where Bugden won both races from a hard chasing Craig Shirriffs.
Arriving at Timaru for round two, Shirriffs felt he just about had the measure of Bugden and so it was. Bugden did in fact win the first race but Shirriffs ended the Aussie's dominance in race two.
Shirriffs pulled the heart-in-the-mouth move of the day on Bugden towards the end of the race. Shirriffs shadowed the Aussie through most of the second race and pounced, braking very late and shooting up the inside as they went into the chicane before the final straight.
"That was my plan all along. I was faster than him there and if I'd passed him anywhere else he would have got me back," said Shirriffs.
"I went in a bit hot and ran wide. Robbie said afterwards he thought I wasn't going to make the corner.
"I wanted to do the same in race one but I wasn't fast enough out of the corner before the chicane."
Fellow Kiwi rider Nick Cole was also in the hunt during the closing laps and had caught up with the leading pair and was right behind Shirriffs but ran out of race time.
Bugden now leads Shirriffs by 10 points, with Dennis Charlett third in his return to the superbike class.
The first 600cc Supersport race was run in the rain and saw plenty of action, including a few crashes. Seth Devereux was the bravest and he pushed his Kawasaki hard to record his first victory in this class, heading off Rhys Holmes and Jeremy Holmes (no relation).
Rhys Holmes also posted a first in the second race, claiming his debut class victory on his Yamaha in a frenetic race in which the top six all ran very close and positions changed constantly. Jake Lewis took second, also on a Yamaha, while some of the bigger names fell by the wayside.
Category hotshot Jaden Hassan was sharing the lead in the Supersport class but came unstuck during Saturday's qualifying. He was high-sided from his Yamaha and the resulting face plant on to the track damaged his wrists.
Ross now leads the championship from Jake Lewis and Rhys Homes with Hassan fourth.
Australian teenagers Luke Burgess and Troy Guenther lead their categories, 250 Production and 125 GP respectively. Burgess is now the only rider in any class with a perfect record of victories in all his races.
Leaders in other classes are: Superlite, Richard Newbery; Pro Twins, Hamish Murphy; and sidecars, Spike Taylor/Astrid Hartnell.

Colorado Springs City Council rejects 'fracking' measure
Unusual vote turns tie vote into rejection
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - The absence of a city councilwoman Tuesday was key in the defeat of an oil and gas drilling measure in Colorado Springs.
The city council was deadlocked 4-4 in a vote proposing regulations for oil and gas drilling within the city limits. Councilwoman Lisa Czelatdko was absent because she's traveling out of the country. Under council rules, in that situation a tie vote becomes a failing vote overall.
"I don't know how (Czelatdko) would have voted," said Councilman Tim Leigh. "We came in expecting it would be a tie."
The council had been considering the drilling issue for the past 18 months. Part of the issue included the controversial "fracking" technique in which water, sand and chemicals are pumped at high pressure into the ground to retrieve hard-to-reach deposits of oil and natural gas.
A debate raged among council members and the public about whether "fracking" is hazardous to human health and a threat to the environment. Opponents demonstrated outside City Hall several times -- including Tuesday -- and two public hearings were held.
Around 40 people spoke during Tuesday's hearing, and only a few supported drilling. Although the state regulates drilling, the council considered adopting some local regulations as well, for more control.
"The regulations were so lax, that we had no control over where in the city limits (companies) could drill," said Councilwoman Jan Martin. "And there were no air- or water-monitoring requirements."
Ultra Petroleum recently suspended drilling in the Banning Lewis Ranch area of northeast Colorado Springs, describing results of the effort as disappointing. But there was growing concern that more companies would come and invest in drilling, both in Colorado Springs and in El Paso County.
During Tuesday's two-hour hearing, council members often scolded the standing-room audience for being disorderly. Leigh, clearly frustrated, said he wanted to shorten the hearing and vote immediately. But City Council President Scott Hente said he wanted to be fair and allow everyone who signed up, a chance to speak.
Eyebrows were raised when one speaker, Dave Gardner, of Citizens for Community Rights, passed out small jars of water to the council, saying they were samples of water from the "fracking" process. Gardner declined to explain where he obtained the water.
"I stole that from a scene in the Erin Brockovich movie," said Gardner. "I hope, I don't know if it was effective or not."
Councilwoman Angela Dougan, a drilling proponent, responded to hecklers who dared her to drink the water if nothing was wrong with it. She appeared to dip a finger in it and swallow a drop, which failed to satisfy the hecklers.
Council staff then gathered the jars and later poured the water down a drain.
"I wasn't personally scared of it," said Councilwoman Brandy Williams. "If it was something that exploded, that's a different story. But it really was a way to say, there it is -- this is what it's like right here in somebody's back yard."
When the vote came around 5:30 p.m., much of the audience stood, clapped and shouted in joy.
Council members Hente, Martin, Val Snider and Williams voted against drilling. Dougan, Leigh, Bernie Herpin and Merv Bennett voted for the measure.
Bennett said he wanted the city to have some control over drilling and believed the matter had been well-researched.
"Voting (no) takes power out of the city's hands and gives the state power," said Dougan.
Snider said he found the lack of support from the business community troubling, and enough of a reason to vote against the proposal.
Council members said the issue will resurface after new members are elected to the council next month, and it's hoped the new council will resolve matters the present council couldn't agree on.

The difference between helping and selling is just two letters.
If you're wondering how to make your products seem more exciting online, you're asking the wrong question. You're not competing for attention only against other similar products. You're competing against your customers' friends and family and viral videos and cute puppies. To win attention these days you must ask a different question: "How can we help?"
Jay Baer's Youtility offers a new approach that cuts through the clutter: marketing that is truly, inherently useful. If you sell something, you make a customer today, but if you genuinely help someone, you create a customer for life. Drawing from real examples of companies who are practicing Youtility as well as his experience helping more than 700 brands improve their marketing strategy, Baer provides a groundbreaking plan for using information and helpfulness to transform the relationship between companies and customers.
©2013 Jay Baer (P)2013 Gildan Media LLC
"In today's always-on, hyper-saturated marketplace, product messages no longer break through like they used to. Providing helpful information to customers does. In this important audiobook, Baer calls the art of being deeply valued by your customers Youtility. I call it smart."(David Meerman Scott, best-selling author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR)
Admirer of Creativity & Founder of Secret Sushi, Inc
"Good Framing, Examples and Supporting Concepts"
I wasn't very keen on Mr. Sheridan's performance, but I enjoyed listening to Jay very much. Jay is a seasoned speaker who has always done a great job of sounding authentic and conversational, but still very clear and professional.
I really enjoyed the framing of mental models and juxtaposition of personal social relationships to that of relationships with a business.
I knew I already agreed with the premise of the book before buying it, but the way Jay broke a number of concepts down and supported them with great examples added a great deal of value to the book.
Jay tends to dive deeper than most into what could otherwise feel like a very shallow translation of the presented concept. You can depend on him not to exaggerate things and always ground it to things that even business owners that are skeptical of digital marketing would find compelling.
It is a great book to read and I do recommend this book for all marketing professional because it worth a lot thank you
"Great insights, bad recording"
Despite my initial expectations, this book is actually very interesting and has lots of very good insights. It's a pity that the audio quality is rather poor for lack of proper post-production edition and generally I don't like when the author is also the narrator. But it's definitely worth it for the content.
"A bible for content marketers"
This book provides a lot of great big picture information as well as specific tactics.
I am an interactive director and love learning new skills. social psychology, persuasive language, marketing techniques, history and more.
"Good Concept. It felt a little repetitive."
Not really. Jay Baer is good writer but I felt like his voice was on the dry side and lacked emotion. You could tell when he was trying to sound excited, didn't seem natural. I would have preferred a trained voice actor.
Most other current inbound marketing books
I have been pretty pleased with Mike Chamberlain's narrations.
Throw out everything you thought you knew about online marketing
Again, I think a trained voice actor could have added some much needed energy to the book.
"Great listen for the modern entrepreneur!"
Catchy listen for a 4-year in startup person. Really distinguishing 'helpful' from all marketing initiatives. Great narration. Totally recommended.
"Good inspiration to be helpful to your customers"
If you don't like selling, this is a great reference. I'd like to hear an updated version for 2016
"A smarter way of looking at Marketing"
A much better perspective to look at Marketing thats simple for everyone to understand, and also to understand that Marketing is not a department but a Youtility that an organisation needs to perceived as.
"The world needs more Youtility"
Such a simple concept, yet very difficult to pull off in business... just help people. Brilliant!
"The right approach to marketing"
Jay clearly outlined the principles of effective marketing to today's buyers and give examples from real companies of how they are put into practice.
"Too many stories"
I know marketing books without stories would be pamphlets, but I struggled to identify the key messages hidden amongst the long anecdotes.
"Awesome book"
I heard about this from Marketingbook podcast and it's a real great audio book that makes you rethink marketing strategy and usefulness - great insights into companies that have been successful and those that haven't and why - but more importantly a process and methodology on how to do it.
I had a few ideas in the past and now they can be crystallised....
Helping our organisation.

Stranded hiker rescued after 24 hours on slippery ledge
GREENE COUNTY, Tenn. - A 40-year-old hiker is now safe tonight, but soupy weather kept him stranded on a ledge in Greene County for more than 24 hours.
It almost seemed like crews gave up hope of getting him Friday because of the weather. The Blackhawk helicopter actually left to return to North Carolina because they couldn't catch a break in the fog, but a small clearing in the fog finally gave the crew a chance to save the hiker.
Friday crews spent the day looking at maps, sending rescue crews from Washington County, Tennessee and Greene County on foot trying to reach the 40-year-old hiker and leaving the helicopter on standby.
Wesley Miller with the Greeneville Rescue Squad took part in the rescue. "It's just been extremely difficult trying to access the top of that from the ground due to loose rock and slick rock," he explained.
Miller tells us the hiker was stuck about 400 feet off the base of the cliff near Margarette Falls. "He was able to climb himself without being a professional climber but that was before the weather hit so now everything is slicker, the rocks are looser," he said.
Miller tells us the biggest obstacle they faced was the weather -- the rainy and foggy conditions. The Blackhawk helicopter waited around all day and even left to go home; when it seemed almost hopeless, EMS crews called them back because they had a small break in the fog. It only took five minutes to rescue him once they got in the air.
The hiker was able to walk from the helicopter to the ambulance. Rescue crews say he was lucky that he wasn't injured any worse after being stranded for 24 hours. "He got to a place where he just couldn't turn around. It just got too slick, so I think he just got to a point where he can't come back up and he can't go back up."
The hiker was greeted by family members who had been waiting for his safe return.
Kim Taylor with the Greeneville EMS tells us there was another hiker in the group injured. He didn't get as high up as the one that was rescued, but he lost his footing and fell.
Taylor says he had to get a few staples in his head, but it wasn't anything too serious.
UPDATE 4:57 p.m.: The 40-year-old hiker who was stranded in Greene County is now safe.
A Blackhawk helicopter from the Army National Guard in North Carolina was able to rescue him. Greene County EMA director Bill Brown tells us the helicopter finally caught a break in the fog.
Members of the Greene County Rescue Squad tell us it took the helicopter about five minutes to get him once they got in the air.
Brown tells us the hiker was able to walk from the helicopter but he was taken to the Laughlin Memorial Hospital to be checked out.
We're told the hiker got stuck after he was hiking with friends.
UPDATE 2:01 p.m.: Crews are still working to rescue the hiker.
The helicopter at the scene left because it's still too foggy for it to fly. Click here to view photos of the helicopter.
Ground teams are still out, but according to the Greene County EMS it will take them about four more hours to get to where the hiker is.
Greene County rescuers have spent numerous hours working on a plan to rescue a hiker that is stranded.
They have been on the scene since 2 p.m. Thursday.
The attached map shows the area where they area working. Click here to view photos from the scene.
The hiker is stranded on a ledge near Margarette Falls. Rescuers say that area is unsafe to climb, and on Thursday it was too windy to get a helicopter to the hiker.
Wesley Miller with the Greeneville rescue squad gave us the following information:
"The call came in around 2:00 Thursday from somebody in the hiking party. Crews have been [at the scene] since then trying to rescue one hiker that is still stuck.
One hiker that was injured was able to walk out on his own and was treated at Laughlin Memorial Hospital in Greeneville with minor injures.
There is one hiker still stuck about 400 feet from the base of Margarette Falls, and we're told it's mostly rock.
Crews had some verbal contact with him around 2:00 a.m. Friday. The injured hiker said he had built a fire off and on. That was the last time they had contact with the hiker.
The hiker is in a t-shirt and shorts which is why crews are worrying about hypothermia.
Right now the weather isn't helping the search. A helicopter from the National Guard in North Carolina [is at the scene] and on standby for when the weather and fog clears.
Crews aren't sure how long it could take because of weather and terrain."

Hey everyone, could I please get an exact ratio of sugar to water for my feeding going into the fall and winter for buildup.
Thanks in advance for this information
Hey everyone, could I please get an exact ratio of sugar to water for my feeding going into the fall and winter for buildup.
Thanks in advance for this information
2--sugar-----1 water --for winter build up
Up here in southern NY I feed 2:1 sugar : water. Reason being is that there is much less water the bees have to evaporate off the syrup.
A 4 lb. bag of sugar to 1 qt hot water so the sugar dissolves. Sometimes I heat it on the stove in a pot, just don't burn it.
I also add a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, seems they take it better and it reduces the ph.
For larger amounts: 8 lb. sugar to 1/2 gal water + 1 1/2 teaspoons cider vinegar, and 16 lbs sugar to 1 gal.+ tablespoon cider vinegar.
You might get away with 1:1 in NC, ask some local beekeepers.
For 1:1
4 lb bag sugar to 1/2 gal water + teaspoon cider vinegar. For larger amounts 8 lbs sugar to 1 gal water + tablespoon cider vinegar. You Probably don't have to heat the 1:1 to dissolve the sugar, just use very warm water.
Other beekeepers have their own mixes- but the above is what I use.
Last edited by clyderoad; 08-28-2013 at 06:59 PM. Reason: typo
I usually feed 1:1 in August, heading into September. This will build up some of the population numbers after the dearth we usually get in July (and the robbing that results). Switching to 2:1 in mid September, if they need it. The 2:1 helps them put on weight, but doesn't allow them to build up as much as 1:1.
I thought that a 1:1 ratio is 5 lbs bag of sugar for 1 gallon of water. I got that from an online source. It made sense to me because it is a very convenient measurement, when sugar came in 5 lbs bags.
I guess I'm kinda like Forrest Gump, I'm not very smart, I try to do a 1:1 by measuring 16 oz. of sugar with 16 oz. of water, add 1/2 teaspoon cider vinegar, and a 1/2 teaspoon of HBH.
I'm successful at them taking it quickly.
One can build these numbers depending on how much syrup one whats to make!
I believe the 1:1 ratio is by weight, not volume. 1 pint of water is 1 pound.
autumn feed is 2:1 - 2 parts sugar to 1 part water. Weight or volume for measurement doesn't mater as water & sugar are pretty much equivalent.
I'm finding the fastest way for me to make autumn syrup is to put a Homer bucket from Home Depot on a scale while filling from the kitchen sink. I use an immersion heater to heat the water to make dissolving the sugar a bit easier.
I find a key to fall feeding for weight gain is to feed lots of syrup quickly so that the bees store the syrup instead of consuming it for current needs. I use Mike Palmer's method of using 1 gallon paint cans inverted directly on the top bars of the upper box, with an empty box surrounding the paint cans. Last year I fed as much as 4 gallons at once to a severely under weight hive. 1 gallon of syrup works out to a very rough 10 pounds of stores - it is what I use my figuring anyway and yes I know that it isn't precise.
It doesn't matter. The bees still drink it.
I read on here earlier that "a pint's a pound the world 'round." So four pints sugar to four pounds water = 1:1. Eight pounds sugar to four pints water = 2:1.
I always give each batch a good squirt of lemon juice.
Honey B Healthy can be added, but it can cause robbing.
Heat the water before adding sugar. You can boil the water, but don't boil the water with sugar in it.
Good luck!
(I have also noticed that the bees use it no matter if I mix it exactly or if I guess at the ratio.)

This is all bro measurements. Lol. I think i will keep with my calculations. Maybe i shud trade mark it.
A pint's a pound the world around-- twenty pounds sugar, twelve pints water, two drops thyme oil, and three squeezed lemons...that yields three gallons of syrup, with a five to three ratio

I can't get my bees to take 2:1 with a splash of cider vinegar.
Does that mean they are content with their stores ?
1st year beek, i dunno. One hive is out on the porch tonight just hanging out @62* F.
I always feed the same...5:3. I believe I saw M Bush recommend this, so I tried it and it works well for me. I put just under 2 gallons of water to 25 lbs of sugar. I get about 5 gallons at a time. I make it up using a big stainless pot on a turkey fryer burner. Takes no time at all. I don't put additives in other than HBH, but I have to watch for robbing. I will even use HBH as a drench in a couple of weeks. I did this last year and my hives all survived the winter and absolutely exploded in the spring. Can't say HBH had anything to do with it, but I thought I'd try it again this year.
for just under a gallon of 1:1, I do 8 cups of water to 8 cups of sugar.
This is so arbitrary: in the responses i am seeing volume to weight and volume to volume to make the 1:1 ratio. One person had 1 lbs(16 oz by weight) of sugar to 1 pint (16 oz by volume) to make 1:1. Another had 1 cup of sugar (8 oz by volume; dry) to 1 cup of water (8 ox by volume). I guess they are both 1:1 ratio, but the consistency and the properties of the syrup are not close
I go strictly by weight.

Before the New Year's ball falls, noisemakers blow, and confetti flies, the New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) prepares for the monstrous cleanup ahead. Garbage trucks are ready to roll, and workers arm themselves with push brooms, shovels, and other hand tools as the party goes on.
New York City is famous for its New Year's Eve celebrations, where swarms of revelers produce noise and garbage in equally astounding amounts. On Dec. 31, 2005, 1 million celebrators produced 37 tons of waste—approximately 13½ pounds of trash per person. It cost the city $32,000 to clean up.
New York City hosts several other less famous—but still significant—events throughout the year, including parades on St. Patrick's Day and Columbus Day. The most recent events produced 46 tons and 23 tons of trash, respectively. The city's cleanup crews range from as few as a half dozen for smaller events to 40 to 60 workers staged throughout a 24-hour period.
Work often starts before the parade, which can be up to 40 blocks long. Bernard Sullivan, chief of cleaning, says DSNY pre-cleans the area. Participants often feed into the parade from lower streets, further expanding the cleanup area. Workers are stationed at the launching points so they can begin the process immediately using various pieces of equipment.
Large events such as the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade call for mechanical street sweepers. DSNY owns 450 street sweepers that cover 6000 miles of road daily. Regular push brooms and backpack blowers push debris off the sidewalk and onto the curb so the sweepers can then collect it.
Although the city encourages recycling, it isn't often a part of large-event cleanup. "At large parades with thousands of participants and millions of spectators, just about everything out there is contaminated or not eligible for recycling," says Sullivan. "We dispose of it all as trash." However, he adds, at smaller events such as street fairs or block parties, recycling is strongly encouraged.
In his years with DSNY, Sullivan finds cleanup is most effective when he communicates with the organizers beforehand. For example, Times Square has an active business improvement district that distributes noisemakers and other party favors. "We get an idea as to what they may be giving out and how that might impact our cleanup," says Sullivan. "They work very well with us in advance so that we don't encounter too many problems." Sullivan also mentions some smaller tips, such as supplying enough trash receptacles to minimize windblown litter.
Morgantown, W.Va., with a population of 27,000 and home of West Virginia University, is busy with cleanup, especially during the football season. Home games typically sell out the 65,000-seat stadium. Terry Hough, public works director/city engineer, and Bill Rumble, assistant public works director, expect those numbers to grow after this past year's Sugar Bowl win.
Most trash-producing events are held on university property where the university cleans it up, but the public works department cleans what spills over to streets and private properties. Morgantown owns one street sweeper and one street flusher, both of which run after events, weather permitting. "Up to six crews of two men to a crew and a dump truck go out after events and pick up debris that's too large for machines to get," says Rumble.
The collected trash is hauled to a city garage facility. "We take it all and dump it on a paved pad that has a concrete back-wall," says Rumble. "After we're sure it's wet, we load it into roll-off Dumpsters provided by the trash hauler and it's taken to a certified landfill."

Town Square
Please Don't Kick it Away
Original post made by Jerry Underdal, Barron Park, on Jul 3, 2013
Please Don't Kick it Away
I credit the Barron Park and Green Acres communities for accomplishing a great deal in pushing back against a hastily put-together, though well-intentioned, project that didn't show an awareness of the deep suspicion of city hall and seething resentment over traffic impacts of the Arastradero makeover. Thanks to our efforts, the city was forced to acknowledge that we have a major traffic safety problem that has to be dealt with even if the Maybell/Clemo property reverts to apricot orchard. Public opinion around the city swung to sympathy and support for a neighborhood seen as fighting a process of land-use change that leaves citizens feeling powerless. Here was a neighborhood that wasn't going to take it lying down. And (here I differ from the strong majority of BPA membership) we got concession after concession as PAHC and the City Council fought to keep the project alive and show the neighbors that it truly was trying to come up with a project that would be a point of pride for Barron Park, not dismay.
Do members know that there will be 7 two-story homes on Maybell, with varied set-backs of 18–22 feet so there won't be a monotonous sameness, and the fronts of the buildings are to have distinctive elements so they look like anything but the generic rows of townhouses that we see elsewhere. There'll be no driveways onto Maybell. There will be 5 three-story homes on Clemo, the upper portions concealed by existing oak trees. Traffic will be restricted from accessing Maybell except through the adjacent apartment house complex parking lot. An amount of $200,000 is provided for addressing safety concerns on Maybell--work to be completed before actual construction begins. And, of course, the main goal and public benefit for this project would be the 60 units of affordable housing for seniors with limited income, with attractive landscaping inside the complex.
Would a commercial developer would have to put up with these restrictions if they bought the property and built it out to current zoning limits. No. They would probably build the maximum allowed, between 34–46 family living units, exact number to be determined by what will generate greatest profit. And of course there would be no affordable housing for seniors.
I checked on how much PAHC paid and whether they overpaid. My understanding is that several developers submitted bids in the $16M area. PAHC came in a bit under that but the offer was successful because PAHC could close in 2012, which had tax advantages for the seller, and there were some other tax consequences in the seller's favor. My takeaway: if PAHC hadn't bought that land we'd soon be watching the bulldozers preparing ground for a large project that, by right of ownership, the developer could get permits for without Planning and Transportation Committee or City Council review. Citizen input? Are you kidding?
With public sympathy, City Council awareness, community engagement and the energy of Barron Park and Green Acres residents we have given Barron Park a chance to have an attractive, neighborhood-friendly element on Maybell for 50 years and beyond. People worried about the impact on home values (yes, there are some) should set their minds at ease. The commercial developer doing the single-family homes is not going to produce inferior houses because they'll be doing what they can to coax top-dollar out of discriminating buyers.
Or we can demand that the city rescind the rezoning and take our chances on Plan B.
I live a block off Maybell. When I look up Able toward the property in question I see the 8-story Tan Apartments looming over all. Having tastefully done 2-story single family homes on lot sizes that match the area to within 2 ft (48' vs 50') break up that view will be a pleasure, even with the 4-story senior apartments visible above the 2-story rooftops. The property along Maybell is currently zoned R-2, so Plan B would probably involve 4-5 duplexes along that same stretch. The rest of the property is zoned R-15, multi-family housing.
On traffic, I am as involved as anyone else I know of in this community in trying to make Maybell safe for student bicyclists and look forward to seeing the neighborhood actively engage with the city in pushing for solutions that put student safety as the number one priority. That's another discussion. Suffice it to say that I believe we will have more, not less traffic to deal with if the project does not go through. I live right here, this is my neighborhood and as a retired teacher I know how important it is that kids be safe on the streets. By and large Palo Alto kids are responsible cyclists, motorists are accommodating, and parents are doing their darnedest. But it shouldn't be so hard to avoid getting hurt. We want more students cyclists, not fewer, on Maybell so parents won't feel they have to drive their students to school.
Congratulations, Barron Park and Green Acres for what you've accomplished. Please don't kick it away.
a resident of Another Palo Alto neighborhood
on Jul 4, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Jerry Underdal raises a number of interesting issues. I don't know if a possible "Plan B" would, in fact, increase the number of units and the amount traffic even more, or not. I live in another neighborhood, and, the increase in traffic, and traffic speed, over the last 15 years has been relentless. It is now very time consuming to get across Alma/Caltrain in either direction every single rush hour, and, it only gets worse. So, please understand that for every development from now on, my number one issue is traffic. The problem with more units is not more people, the problem is more traffic.
At least for those developments that are near El Camino and a Caltrain station, there is some hope that some trips will be made by train or bus. And developments near some kind of grocery and other shopping will see some people shopping on foot. Out in the hinterlands, you know all the trips will be by car.
(Although your helpful post did not mention ABAG, thank goodness, many of the proponents frequently cite ABAG goals for increasing housing. ABAG has no authority to dictate where and when member cities develop. (And, as far as I know, ABAG doesn't seek the power to dictate such city issues, either.) Citing ABAG in these discussions is a negative, because development proponents have frequently cited ABAG goals as some kind of mantra, instead of citing rational arguments regarding a proposal. I've got nothing against ABAG, but, in these discussions, forget ABAG. Let's hear the rational arguments for and against this proposed development.)

Local farmer reacts to farm bill
RIRIE, Idaho - A new Farm Bill was passed by the United States Senate yesterday which will cut direct payments and reduce the amount of what farmers can spend.
However, since farmers have seen their direct payments taken away before, local farmer Gordon Gallup says it's not a shock, but it certainly doesn't help the agriculture business and the consumers.
Gordon Gallup has been a farmer all his life. He's seen the ups and down of the economy, and less help from the government as the years go by. Gallup says direct payments are something farmers depend on every year, but they've seen their part of the budget stripped away before.
"We're in a good time right now, prices are good. But we know that with the '95 farm bill those things change in about six months too. All the sudden we were in a disaster and we could've used those direct payments again." said Gallup.
30 percent of gallup's income was stripped away. But even in the toughest of times, Gallup continued to farm and live within his means. Now the government is looking to strip farmers of those payments again, this time under a new farming bill that's already cleared one chamber of Congress.
"We realize the government is strapped for money and they're gonna cut it somewhere. and (agriculture) is really such a small portion of the national budget." said Gallup.
If the bill also passes the House and clears the President's desk, will the prices for grain and sugar begin to rise?
"These payments down the road will translate into your food bill, and that's the unfortunate part of the farm bill and not a lot of people realize it." said Gallup. "The farm bill is what it is, and we'll just have to live with it."
Idaho senator Mike Crapo voted against the bill, calling it inadequate in terms of reducing the federal debt and deficits.
The senate's final vote on the farm bill came in at 64 in favor and 35 against.

The alliance between FESA and Rush Soccer has been positive for both organizations so far. The Salvadoran foundation has provided five players to the Rush Soccer Academies through the USSDA International Exchange Program. The Central American players are competing for Texas Rush, where they are showing their soccer skills and talent.
Soccer is the main sport in El Salvador and the Central American country is providing youth soccer players to the best leagues around the world. Their best Salvadoran player ever is Jorge "Mágico" González, remembered in Cádiz (Spain) as a legend. Nowadays, El Salvador is working hard to establish a solid base in their youth system and it's mostly thanks to FESA.
The "Fundación Educando a un Salvadoreño" (FESA) is developing their Integral Soccer Player Program for four years with excellent results. Some of their U-18 players are competing in important clubs such as Sevilla F.C (Spain), Pachuca CF (México), and Houston Dynamo (U.S.A). The objective of FESA isn't just creating talented players, but develops their education and values as well, a common philosophy with Rush Soccer.
The connection between Rush Soccer and FESA is active and constant and both organizations visited both countries to share their knowledge and learn from each other. "We want to be able to help more FESA players to play in Rush Soccer academies so they can help Rush teams, learn English and obtain College scholarships. Our idea is to grow the opportunities our players can have by traveling to the United States so they can fly on their own in the future," ensures Jorge Bahaia, President of FESA.
There is a lot of work to do in El Salvador to develop opportunities for their talented players and both organizations are bringing hope to the Salvadoran soccer. Besides the human effort, gear is another necessity for the Central American organization: "Soccer gear and material would help our soccer academies because the area where they are doesn't receive much support from the community," adds Jorge Bahaia.FESA is well known in El Salvador because it has accomplished many children's dream, bringing them the opportunity to make a professional career in soccer. The Salvadoran organization is noted internationally as well, by conquering important cups around Latin America such as Copa FESA México, Copa de la Amistad in Perú, and Copa Menedy in Guatemala. Even "Mágico" Gonzalez, national soccer legend has recognized: "FESA is doing a great job so far, they just need to keep working and be patient."


text: Installing an auxiliary transmission cooler is really not that difficult once you do a little research, but it is VERY messy. I want to say that the total time it took my uncle, cousin and I to install the cooler on my Suburban was probably about 2 hours from start to finish, but this was also working at a casual pace with reasonable breaks. A few things have to be investigated before starting on this project. First is determining whether you want to put this cooler in-line with the existing factory cooler or in replacement of it. I decided to replace the factory cooler with mine. This can have a couple advantages and disadvantages. You allow the radiator to cool more efficiently by not injecting 200F+ ATF fluid into the same space you are trying to cool antifreeze with. However, if you choose and undersized cooler, you may cook the transmission. So, using the factory one in conjunction helps ensure that you have adequate cooling ability. The second to check is the fitting size and threading on the case of the transmission. For the TH-700R4s found in most ½ ton trucks until 1988 (I think) for pickup trucks and up to 1991 in Suburbans, the transmission cooler fittings on the transmission case are 1/4" pipe thread fittings. For other transmissions, it appears this page (http://www.tciauto.com/Products/TechInfo/cooler_fittings.asp) has a lot, if not most of the fitting sizes and threading. Now, let's go through a brief parts list… Parts Needed: You could also buy these from a gm dealer such as www.gmpartsclub.com Transmission Cooler (Link) Autozone part# 911516 (I'm pretty sure this is the one I used) 2x Pipe fittings (1/4" pipe to 3/8" MIP) Automatic Transmission Cooler Line (watch out, this stuff if like $1.25 a foot) Teflon tape Hose clamps to fit the ATF line Quart or two of the appropriate ATF fluid for your truck Procedure: OK, get the truck in a fairly comfortable spot and let it sit there for a good long while. When a transmission is at operating temperature, ATF fluid can run in excess of 200F in the transmission. During this time, you can be planning your method of attack. Also while the truck is cooling, start disassembling the front grill, you have to get all the way down to the radiator, so it's gonna be a pain to get all that trim and grill off. Now you can start on disassembling the existing transmission cooling system. For my truck, the factory cooler had steel hard lines that ran from the transmission to the radiator. I left them in place and connected to the radiator in case I had issues with the aftermarket cooling, but I plan on removing them later on. Make sure you have a drain pan handy on whichever side or sides you remove the cooler line at. Now you can mount the transmission cooler to the front of the radiator. Make sure you don't have to make any sharp bends or sharp edges with the cooler line and that you can get to the fittings. I faced my radiator on its side with the fittings facing the bottom so that I could go down and straight under the truck with the lines. I put it on the passenger side since that's the side that the cooler fittings are on the transmission. It uses this weird tie-wrap that's designed to go through a radiator to secure things. As such, it's one-time use only, so make sure you get it right before you go putting the 2 halves of the tie-wrap together. Now, you need to route the cooler lines back to the transmission. I was able to route mine along the fame rail under the motor mount bracket up to the point where the cooler lines go into the transmission. I had a little extra line that I didn't feel like trimming off, so I then followed my fuel lines heading out into the open to cross the gap and take up the slack. Put a few turns of Teflon tape on the threaded side of the fittings and crank them into the case until you bottom out the fitting. Slip the cooler lines onto the fittings and tighten them down with hose clamps. Crank the truck up and cycle the gears to get the transmission fluid flowing. CAREFULLY feel the radiator to see if it's getting warm. Inspect for leaks and check the transmission fluid. Chances are you lost some fluid from the work and having to fill the new cooler and lines with fluid. Add fluid as needed to get you back up to the proper level. Put the grill back on and admire your work. Afterthoughts: I wish I had bought a remote filter and a transmission oil temperature gauge before I did the install, but everything's easy enough to get to that it should be easy to add those in. I even have enough spare line to complete the connections. I have yet to tow anything with the truck yet, but I can only assume that the cooler is doing its job well. However, time will tell as I have no way of telling for sure now whether the transmission fluid temps are lower or not. I used standard brass plumbing fittings in the transmission case. From what I understand, brass doesn't like very high temperatures, but I think it should be ok... The temperature of the oil shouldn't get so high that it causes the brass to fatigue. As usual, I didn't take any pictures while doing the work, but I'll try to get ya'll some pics soon of all the connections and such. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me and I'll do my best to answer them.

So I have this very full life. There are hobbies, of course. My husband and I run a publishing company together. We have a six year-old. My fulltime dayjob has the term "Major Projects" on the first line of its description, capitalized like a proper name, and everything.
I'm hardly alone, though. Like all the moms I know, I'm always on the lookout for a good tool to help me keep my world in order and running smoothly. When my life recently got a little too "Major" for my existing systems, I began an earnest search for upgrades. In the browser app WorkFlowy, I believe I've found a winner.
I love a good ToDo list, but when they grow too long, they become overwhelming rather than helpful. WorkFlowy avoids that by making it easy to hide level upon level of detail under only the broader tasks you're actively working on at the time.
Another problem with ordinary ToDo lists is that the only way to clear completed items off the list is to cross them out – which makes them look cluttered – or rebuild the list with only unfinished tasks on it. That's a waste of time and paper. WorkFlowy deals with that issue by letting users easily toggle completed items on and off.
With WorkFlowy, users can build as much detail into a project as they want and zoom in or out to any level of detail they choose with just a click. Tasks can be tagged for easy grouping across multiple layers of the list. The list is searchable, and it's even simple to select specific parts of the list with other WorkFlowy users. That's very handy when an entire family or company really needs to be working on an identical set of tasks together.
The one complaint I have is that selecting multiple levels within a list isn't as simple as click-and-drag. Apart from toggling the completed items, there don't appear to be any bulk actions.
Still, WorkFlowy is slick and far more user friendly than any of the other task organizing utilities I've tried.
