Excessive Lawn Ornamentation
Mistake: People often make the mistake of putting too many decorative items in their front yard, which can be a distraction from the beauty of the natural landscape.
Solution: Before setting out that lawn ornament, ask yourself why are you putting it there and how it fits the context of your overall design and plant materials. Stick with one crisp choice, even if it is a little silly. One little whimsical statement goes a lot further than 10.
Forgetting to Recycle
Mistake: Yard projects tend to produce a good amount of waste, which most people don't realize when they set out to do the work.
Solution: Instead of tossing out the branches, clippings and other debris, dispose of them in an eco-friendly way. Rent a shredder and turn them into mulch, and put lawn clippings back on the lawn — they are both great fertilizers. Another idea is to create a compost pile. Compost containers have gotten more attractive. Some almost disappear into the landscape.
Planting in the Wrong Place
Mistake: Improper plant placement is another common mistake. People often do not take into consideration the proper sunlight and exposure for their plants.
Solution: Be sure to pay attention to the little tag that you get when you buy the plant and check Plant Finder for plant requirements. When it comes to planting trees, you need to remember how big they could get and how much space they are going to need. Also think about focal points — choose something that's going to look good year-round.
Planting Too Deeply
Mistake: One of the quickest ways to kill a tree is to plant it too deeply. Some folks figure the more soil they can put around it, the better. But doing so can actually choke the tree to death because there is no air allowed to go to the root system. Going too deep can also encourage root rot.
Solution: Avoid these scenarios by looking at the main stem, where the largest branch is and then where all of the tentacles come out. That's the root ball, and that's what you want to meet, right along the surface. A good rule of thumb with plants is to dig to the actual height of the container in which it came.
Cutting Grass Too Short
Mistake: It's a common myth that cutting the grass shorter means you have to mow it less. That's actually not the case, and you can do more harm than good. If you scalp the lawn, it could result in a bare patch, which could make it too inviting for insects and/or susceptible to disease.
Solution: The key is to cut the lawn different lengths throughout the year. During the summer, the lawn needs a little more shade, so let the blades grow just a little bit more. That way the water doesn't evaporate so quickly. During the winter, cut it a little bit shorter so that the sunlight can actually get into the soil.
Forgetting the View From Your Window
Mistake: It may seem like common sense to think about the view from inside the house, but a lot of people forget it. Keep in mind what it looks like from all angles.
Solution: Place your containers where you want them, and then go inside and look through every major window to see what they'll look like before you plant. It should be like a painting. When you look out, you should see the glass framed with beautiful trees and foliage.
Using the Wrong-Size Pots
Mistake: If you put a plant in a pot that is too large, it can shift, sink down into the soil, get too much water or dry out too fast.
Solution: Remember that you are going to have to re-pot it, eventually. It's easy to tell when that's necessary because little roots begin to stick out at the bottom. A word of caution related to re-potting: Be sure to give a plant plenty of time get acclimated to its new pot before re-potting again.
Failing to Fertilize Properly
Mistake: There are two ways that fertilizing can be a mistake. The first one is not doing it at all. The other is fertilizing too much or fertilizing improperly.
Solution: Ask someone at your garden center to recommend a proper fertilizer for your yard. It's a good idea to do it at least twice a year, once in the spring and again in the fall. You should never do so in the bright sun, and watering always needs to follow. It's also a good idea to mix in fertilizer when planting new plants. Make sure that, when you dig the hole, you mix in new soil and fertilizer so the plant, over the period of a year, is going to have a nice time release of fertilizer.
Picking the Wrong Plants
Mistake: Just because a plant looks pretty doesn't mean it actually belongs in your yard. You have to take into consideration your particular backyard, with filtered light or shade, and what's going to work best for you.
Solution: Check for plants that would work well in your space. If it's a really hot, sunny spot, maybe you want to go with a succulent. Or, get a great landscaping book for your area to help you figure out what to plant and when, as well as how and when to fertilize.
Not Accounting for Wildlife
Mistake: You could be planting a buffet rather than a garden if you don't consider what animals or garden pests might be around.
Solution: Before you decide what to plant in your garden, think about what pests you have in relation to what you'd like to plant. For example, pretty flowering plants can attract deer, so you might want to throw in some bitter-tasting ones among them. Once they taste the wrong one, they are likely to stop coming around. If there are wild rabbits around, you may need to shelter your garden bed by building a small fence. Chicken wire is another option.
Being Shortsighted
Mistake: Being shortsighted is a common problem because many people don't know what the eventual growth of their plants will be. You need to find out how they spread, how they reproduce and what type of maintenance they require.
Solution: Check Plant Finder to see how quickly and large plants will grow.
Improper Pruning
Mistake: Pruning can be just as much of an art form as it is a technique, but when pruning is improperly done, you can do more harm than good. In fact, in some cases, it's better not to prune at all than to do it improperly.
Solution: Every plant has a different pruning process. The fall is usually the best time of year to prune, but be sure to find out for sure. See this pruning guide.
Scattered Color
Mistake: Too much color without a sense of harmony can become a distraction.
Solution: Before making a trip to the nursery, you need to know what palette you'd like as well as which colors work well together. Look at the color of your house and then choose one color that really frames it. Try to stay semi-monochromatic for the most part because if there is too much color and it's too strong, it almost can become a distraction. Repetition and some harmony in a garden goes a long way.
Irrational Irrigation
Mistake: A lot of homeowners make the mistake of over-watering. Most lawns just need about an inch of a water per week.
Solution: The best time of day to water the lawn (and usually any plant) is early morning so it has all day to dry. You can buy a sprinkler with an automatic timer to reduce water waste, or even put in an irrigation system.
Using the Wrong Tool
Mistake: Using the wrong tool for the job could be inefficient and maybe even dangerous.
Solution: Think about the size of the job and dictate the size of the tool accordingly. Some must-haves are safety goggles, gloves, a solid shovel and a good rake. Keep them organized, and keep them clean. For specialty jobs, you might want to consider renting a tool, and not just power equipment, but hand tools. Maybe you don't need that tool for the rest of your life, but you need it for that one specific job.
Failing to be Family Friendly
Mistake: A lot of people get carried away with the theme of their yard. They don't think about how they are going to use the lawn or the area — they just think about how they want it to look. For example, a rock garden is really attractive, but probably not the best thing for a family with small children.
Solution: Sit down and make a list of what you want to do in your yard, making sure to look at the needs of everyone in the household.
Impulse Buying
Mistake: Buying plants without a plan.
Solution: Do a little research before you reach and grab plants at a garden center. You can research plants on Plant Finder. Have some sort of a shopping list in mind and then get what you want and leave. It's very hard to return flowers, so this step is imperative.
Too Much of the Same Thing
Mistake: No variety in the garden.
Solution: Intermingle various shapes and sizes of plants to create visual interest and bring in the right kind of insects. Certain plants need certain nutrients. If you plant just one type of plant, they could suck all of those nutrients out of the soil.
Overlooking Maintenance
Mistake: Not planning for garden maintenance.
Solution: Part of planning a garden is also planning time to maintain it. Make up a maintenance schedule and abide by it. Garden beds need to be weeded at least once or twice a month, minimum. If you don't have the time to take care of your garden, make sure you have enough money to pay somebody to do it.
Ignoring the Seasons
Mistake: Not planning a garden for year-round color or interest.
Solution: Plan out your garden with regard to the seasons. When homeowners go to a nursery or plant yard, they often just buy what's in season at the time. Various flowers bloom at certain times of the year. If you've got a lot of plants that are blooming in the spring, remember that in the fall you're going to need some other plants, if you want foliage. Select plants that look good in the winter and in the spring, if possible.
Underestimating Cost
Mistake: There is a lot of sticker shock in the world of plants. People often think "it's just a couple of plants, how expensive could it be?" Landscaping is actually 30 percent more expensive than any other type of home improvement project. Another area that gets underestimated is the budget, and one of the biggest factors in a budget is the labor involved. It always costs more, and people cost the most.
Solution: When you're starting a landscape project, make sure you have enough budget, because you want to do the job one time, and you want to do it right.
Overlooking Exterior Lighting
Mistake: The biggest mistake people make when they think about planning out their yard is only visualizing how it will look during the day.
Solution: Adding some exterior lighting not only helps with vision and movement, but it also really makes the garden pop. It doesn't have to be expensive or entail a lot of effort. For instance, there are a lot of good solar lights that can easily be stuck in the ground. The sun heats them up all day and then at night they give off a soft glow.
Neglecting Curb Appeal
Mistake: Never underestimate the power of curb appeal. A lot of homeowners put all of their energy into the backyard, but the front of the house is where first impressions are made.
Solution: There are three simple improvements you can make that make a big difference out front. Paint your door a contrasting color than what is at the base of your home, keep the grass trim and green and plant colorful flowers.
Mismatched Style
Mistake: Not considering architectural style when choosing plants.
Solution: When selecting plants, you should match the architecture of your home with the theme of your garden. Above, the cottage-style garden goes very well with the style of the home. Besides the plants in your garden, you need to think about your hardscape. If you are putting in a deck, for example, you need to make sure those elements of your garden also reflect positively upon your house.
Not Having a Plan
Mistake: Starting a landscaping project without a plan.
Solution: Decide on a specific theme or look and then draw it out on paper. Figure out where you want to put your plants and shrubs in relation to the shape and style of your house. Examine ways to bring the inside out so that when you are finished, you have a nice, harmonious design. Don't forget to factor in your budget, and when you hit the nursery, stick to it. If you follow the plan, you (and your landscape) will reap the rewards.

Fifty-days of non-stop cricket have come to an end, but we didn't achieve what we would have liked to in terms of results. It was a 'so-near, yet-so-far' kind of feeling for the Mumbai Indians and we have only ourselves to blame.
Momentum lost
We started the IPL in an emphatic manner --- our batting looked good, the bowling was sharp and fielding was brilliant. But just when everything was going right, the game against the Kings XI Punjab disturbed the equation.
Suddenly, our batsmen lost their touch and we didn't get the right formula to set or chase a target. The last game against the Royal Challengers Bangalore was played on a different Chepauk wicket. It wasn't a turner but a low and slow wicket. The ball came on nicely and Chris Gayle made the most of it.
Gayle 'factor'
We had a plan that I would get Gayle out. But in my initial two overs, he only faced one delivery and by the time I came back for my second spell, in the 13th over, he was 70-plus. In fact, in a lot of their victories he was 'the factor'.
On a wicket like this, we expected our batting to chase the target. But we couldn't get close.
We, at the Mumbai Indians, have learnt our lessons and hopefully we will be good enough to play substantial cricket till the end. For me, it's time to spend some time with the family before embarking on the long tour to the West Indies and England. These two-three days are precious as I don't think I will see them before mid-September.

Hi there all you muscle fans, we all know that weight training isn't quite easy and bodybuilding is like science (more or less); You have to know the perfect workout and diet which will get you that bodybuilder body but, you also have to know how to handle the weights around the gym and even if it seems "caveman" easy, it isn't!
When it comes to barbells, you must know that those 5 to 7 feet (or 1.5 m to 2 m) long bars are used in almost all exercises which target the major muscle groups from traps to chest, shoulders, arms and legs; But you know what?
Some people still forget how to load and unload a barbell properly without having to hit someone in the gym; Sometimes they even hog up all the weights from the gym just to make the barbell look like it's super heavy!
Those guys remind me of the "do you even lift?" expression too :D. So, that's why i'll give you instructions on how to load a barbell and if you forget them, you can always save the attached photo from the article!
Check out the rules on how to load a barbell:
- Use large plates as much as possible because being large, they tend to be sturdier.
- Always put larger plates on the inside of the barbell because the inside plates must absorb the most force when dropped and also because at some point you'll start unloading the bar to do more reps and i don't think you'd like to unload and load 100 pounds for only 10 pounds that won't let you go the extra mile :D.
- Another how to load a barbell rule is to use as few plates as possible. Why?? Well, because it's better to avoid a potential wear and tear of all the weights and because other guys might possibly need some of those weights too, don't hog!
- Use technique plates or light plates only for TECHNIQUE!
- Stop dispersing your brute force and use the small weights sparingly.
After reading these simple and basic rules, you can say that you know how to load a barbell and now, you just have to start those training sessions with or without steroids; Grow big muscles!

Aoife and Lilybel HTML version
Aoife walked to the hedge where she heard the voice coming from, and, peering in saw a tiny
creature dressed in bright yellow with multicolored wings stretching above her head looking up at
her with a tear stained face.
Just them Caoimhe came dancing out of the house waving the dolls over her head.
"Are you ok", Aoife asked the fairy quickly glancing up at Caoimhe who was looking at her
"Are you Aoife?" she replied looking up at her hopefully.
"Yes that is my name", she whispered.
Caoimhe walk up behind to where Aoife was kneeling.
"Who are you talking to Aoife?"Asked Caoimhe she asked peering into the hedge.
"Eh, no one", stuttered Aoife going red, as she knew telling lies was wrong. Hearing this, the
little fairy burst into tears.
"Oh no", she wailed. "I was hoping you could help me. They all told me to find you and you
would. As the fairy buried her head in her hand and sobbed loudly Aoife looked from her to
Caoimhe and wondered what on earth she would do.
"Can you wait her for a minute", she asked quickly hoping that they would both think that they
were talking to them "I'll be back in just a minute".
"Ok", they both said together though Caoimhe continued to look at her strangely.
Aoife scampered around to the side of the house searching in her pockets for the little bell that
her friend Amber the tooth fairy had given her a few days before. Amber had said that if she needed

Would have preferred sterling, but it was not offered.
I did make my 3' necklace which seems to chink whenever I put it away...and it chinks in more than one spot which is kind of annoying, having to straighten it before wearing. Usually don't have to do this with a plain chain..
Looks nice hanging once it's straightened out.

Would have preferred sterling but it was not available.
The silver-plate is kind of dull and links chink in more than one place when put away, probably related to this dullness. To have to un-chink it before wearing the 3' necklace I made, is rather annoying, and something which rarely happens with sterling chains.
When I finally manage to un-chink it (keeps chinking in different places), when I un-chink it and get it on, it looks nice.
I would still have preferred sterling and doubt that it would chink like this since I have other pieces made in a similar way with sterling and they don't chink, or even tangle.

The trucks are packed and the volunteers are ready to work for the next Rescue U outreach trip, this time at the Cameron County SPCA in Emporium, PA . (Watch this video of our last Rescue U trip by The Dog Files.)
The SPCA is the only shelter in the community, and it is not
fully functional. The shelter is being built slowly as donations come in. The animals Cameron County takes in now are mostly in foster
homes — there is no space for them at the shelter.
About 20 students from Delaware Valley College and Pennsylvania high schools will be joining the Petfinder.com Foundation to help
complete the construction on the shelter's building. Students will be
working on fencing and dog bathing and vetting areas, building raised beds
for all the kennels, and
finishing the interior of the shelter.
Cameron County SPCA has done an amazing job getting this far, and our
student volunteers are just as serious about completing this safe haven
for the animals in Cameron County. By the time we leave, we hope that the shelter can respond effectively to the needs of
local homeless pets and be a part of creating a more humane community.

ThePirateBay.org and other overseas sites are known targets, having long welcomed customers from the U.S. CNET's Greg Sandoval explains how this bill would change that. Transcript BOB GARFIELD: On Monday, members of the Senate Judiciary Committee proposed legislation to combat digital piracy. The new law would give the Justice Department new tools to shut down websites dedicated to illegal content sharing. The measure enjoys rare bipartisan support, and one of the bill's sponsors, Vermont's Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy, claimed that it will protect American investment in jobs. Greg Sandoval is a senior writer for CNET. Hey, Greg, welcome back. GREG SANDOVAL: Thank you for having me. BOB GARFIELD: First, tell me about this new law, called the Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act. That's COI [LAUGHS]. How would it work? GREG SANDOVAL: It sounds like the Attorney General is going to have lots and lots of leeway to go to a judge and say, hey, these guys are trafficking in unauthorized films, TV shows, music, and we want them shut down. But they haven't given us a criterion of how they're going to decide a website is a pirate site. And a judge either has to be really informed, really skeptical to challenge these guys. BOB GARFIELD: The sites in the sights of the Senate Judiciary Committee quintessentially are like PirateBay, which seems to exist only to facilitate illegal downloading of protected intellectual property. GREG SANDOVAL: PirateBay really is the poster child for this kind of law. It was founded by three Scandinavians, and the U.S. trade representative has tried for years to get them shut down. The site is operated in multiple countries. They've made no bones about wanting to help people get a hold of free movies, music, books. I would say that this law should really be called the PirateBay Law, or the Anti-PirateBay Law. BOB GARFIELD: And because they're offshore, the U.S. government has been limited. What in the proposed law would give the Justice Department the tools to shut down something like PirateBay? GREG SANDOVAL: They're going to go to a judge and say, we need an order for Internet service providers, like AT&T, Comcast, and tell them they're going to have to block access to this. They'll go to VISA or MasterCard and say, you guys can't do any transactions for any of these sites. And they can go to Google and say, you cannot pay them any more advertising revenue if they've got Google AdSense on their site. If it passes, they're going to be able to essentially black out these sites and stop them from generating income from the United States. BOB GARFIELD: Now, the Motion Picture Association of America and the recording industry have long been advocating for strict antipiracy just like this, but they've been stymied in the past. What's changed? GREG SANDOVAL: I would say what's changed is that the President and Vice-President Biden have received a lot of backing from the entertainment sector. And last summer, Vice-President Biden said, piracy is smash-and-grab theft. There's going to be plenty of people who are going to say in these hard economic times we shouldn't be in the business of protecting films and music. These companies already have a ability to file civil suits, to go to the ISPs and try to do this through the courts. President Obama, Vice-President Biden continue to say though that the U.S. government has to have an active hand in protecting jobs. And here's the side of the content owners. They say they're getting killed by piracy. They say they're losing jobs. They can't survive without some help from the government. The stats that Hollywood has provided and the music industry have been discredited by the government itself, a GAO report. However, the GAO said there's plenty of anecdotal evidence that shows Hollywood and the music industry are suffering as a result of piracy. BOB GARFIELD: The other big question is constitutionality. The bill seems to tread kind of heavily on [LAUGHS] freedom of speech, saying if your website is dedicated to aiding and abetting pirates, we shut you down. Will we next have the Justice Department shutting down Jihadist websites and marijuana legalization sites? You get the point. It's the slippery slope question. GREG SANDOVAL: And that's going to be one of the many challenges this bill is going to face. I'm sure Senator Leahy understands that. I don't see this bill getting through without at least a very tough fight. BOB GARFIELD: Even if PirateBay.org and other well-known pirating sites are shuttered, won't the digital pirates just find some other less visible sites or some other means entirely, to facilitate illegal file sharing? GREG SANDOVAL: This bill, even if it passes, will not be checkmate. Last year I went to Hollywood and I talked to a lot of studio people, and they were depressed because there's this new system of sharing files. You're not even downloading anything. You're getting streaming video from underground sites. And one member of the film industry told me that with some of these streaming sites, they don't even know what country they're in, where their servers are. One of the most famous guys allegedly is a German who is very brash, and he's out there offering free streaming. You don't have to download any software. You get a link to his site, all the Mad Men episodes, all the movies. And it's easy to do, and it's going to hit mainstream America. And that's what Hollywood is worried about right now. BOB GARFIELD: Greg, thanks so much. GREG SANDOVAL: Thank you for having me. BOB GARFIELD: Greg Sandoval is a senior writer for CNET.

The election electronic advertising war ended with a bang last night, as Labor and the Liberals raced to get ads to air before the start of the electronic media advertising blackout at midnight.
Media executives estimated the two major parties spent at least $1 million on metropolitan TV advertising last night, lifting their total TV spend in the mainland capital cities since July 17 to about $26 million.
Groups such as the Greens, the ACTU, NSW Nurses Association, Alliance of Australian Retailers and the Association of Mining Exploration Companies were believed to have spent $14 million on capital city TV advertising since the election was called. The ACTU alone was understood to have spent $5 million.
The total spending on election ads in other areas such as the internet, outdoor ads, suburban newspapers and direct mail, was expected to reach $20 million by tomorrow, making this campaign one of the most lucrative for media companies.
Although the capital city TV networks have been the big winners from the election ad battle, regional TV companies have also received a stream of ads, particularly stations covering marginals in Queensland and NSW.
Cathy O'Connor, chief executive of radio company DMG Radio, which owns the Nova, Classic Rock and 5AA stations, said capital city radio stations had booked very few election ads.
But Joan Warner, chief executive of industry group Commercial Radio Australia, said regional radio stations had benefited from the election campaign as Labor and the Liberals chased uncommitted voters in regional seats.
The ban on TV and radio election ads, which kicks in three days before elections, does not extend to online ads. Although Labor and the Liberals were running internet ad campaigns, media executives said their spending was low.
"By the end of the campaign, they will have spent about $2.5 million in total on internet ads," said one executive. "The low spend reflects the low ad rates most websites charge. It also reflects the fact TV is still seen as the main medium for election ads."
The suburban newspaper sector, which is dominated by News Ltd, Fairfax Media (the publisher of The Australian Financial Review) and West Australian Newspapers, had received some localised election ads, although media executives said the political parties' budgets for suburban newspaper advertising were low.
WA Newspapers chief executive Chris Wharton said capital city and national newspapers, as usual, received little election advertising.
"We might get some after the electronic blackout starts, but it won't be a lot," he said earlier this month.

HSBC Halts U.S. Foreclosures After Joint Examination by Fed, OCC
HSBC Holdings Plc, Europe's biggest bank, has suspended U.S. foreclosures following a joint examination by the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The regulators issued letters noting "certain deficiencies" in the processing, preparation and signing of affidavits and "other documents supporting foreclosures" at HSBC Finance Corp. and HSBC Bank USA, the London-based lender said yesterday in its annual report.
"We have suspended foreclosures until such time as we have substantially addressed noted deficiencies in our processes," HSBC said in the report.
HSBC Bank USA Chief Executive Officer Irene Dorner said in October that the bank reviewed its U.S. foreclosure process and didn't find evidence of so-called robo-signers, Reuters reported. Robo-signers refers to bank employees who submit hundreds or thousands of affidavits weekly to support foreclosures without proper review.
Bank of America Corp. and JPMorgan Chase & Co. were among lenders that temporarily halted or delayed some repossessions to review their foreclosure practices.
"We don't think we have an issue with robo-signing," Neil Brazil, an HSBC spokesman, said today in a telephone interview. "As a result of internal and external review, we have taken the decision to review all foreclosures where judgment has not yet been entered and will be refiling affidavits where necessary."

Sales is an interesting field with an even more interesting reputation throughout the world. Many people you've probably dealt with when it comes to sales leave you with a terrible impression, think Used Car Salesmen types (see below), but there are also some great careers in sales out there currently. Let's dive into what I believe are the best sales jobs and how you can get into them.
The Best Sales Jobs
As stated above, there can be some pretty crappy sales jobs out there, but also some pretty fantastic ones. What makes a great sales jobs in comparison to one that is terrible. Well for one, we can look at where the industry is headed, the base salary received by professionals working in this field, future company outlook, etc.
Let's take for example that used car salesman might not even be around in 10-15 years, because new companies and technology are now eliminating the need for them. You can now sell your used car directly online through a number of sources, and you can now buy a used car, without having to worry about aggressive sales pitches from a dude with too much cologne on.
The two guys over at CareerDreaming ranked the 5 best sales jobs5 best sales jobs, and I think the results are pretty telling.
According to the author, here are the top 5 places to focus a career on :
Software Sales
Pharmaceutical Sales
Medical Device Sales
Financial Services Sales
Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) Sales
He named these as the best sales gigs because they all have super high compensation potential, think well into the hundreds of thousands of dollars, great work-life balance, strong benefits packages and a steady long-term outlook for professionals.
If you're considering an opportunity in the the sales profession, I would highly recommend you take some time and evaluate exactly what type of professional space that you want to focus on and then try like heck to break into the industry. There are awesome industries to focus on because they present the ability to really support a lifestyle/family/etc that can enable happiness in the long-term.
Want to be in door-to-door sales or some shady car salesman? Fine by me. But I think you're better off with one of the following 5 sales paths that you should take to be more succesful in your career.
If you have any questions, please let me know if the comments section and I'd love to help you out! Let's make some moves in your quest to conquer the job search!

Exelon Loses Tax Suit Claiming $1.69 Billion in Costs
Exelon Corp. (EXC), the biggest U.S. nuclear operator, can't use $1.69 billion of claimed liabilities associated with decommissioning three nuclear power plants to generate tax benefits, a federal court ruled.
U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington today barred the power generator from factoring decommissioning costs into the tax basis of plants it bought in 1999 and 2000 because they're still operating.
All the decommissioning activities cited in Exelon's complaint are described as occuring when an operator closes a plant, and "it is undisputed that none of the three nuclear power plants at issue in this suit were closed, or were about to be closed in 1999 or 2000," Judge Lynn Bush said in her ruling.
The case was filed in 2009 by Exelon unit AmerGen Energy Co. LLC, which had acquired the three plants.
The facilities are Three Mile Island Unit 1 Nuclear Generating Station in Middletown, Pennsylvania, Clinton Power Station in Clinton, Illinois, and Oyster Creek Nuclear Generating Station in Forked River, New Jersey.
"There is no associated liability or impact to Exelon's earnings resulting from the federal claims court's decision," Paul Elsberg, a spokesman for Chicago-based Exelon, said in a statement. "We will be evaluating the court's decision to determine whether or not to pursue an appeal."
The case is Amergen Energy Co. LLC v. U.S., 09-cv-108, U.S. Court of Federal Claims, District of Columbia (Washington).

A young professional couple who lived locally were the successful bidders.
Agents sold 84 per cent of the 190 houses and units listed - a success rate well above the March average of 76 per cent.
Buyers at the lower end of the market are pushing the limits of what they can afford as competition grows.
"People become more emotionally involved in buying a certain house and are willing to pay $10,000 or $20,000 more than the limit they originally set," the president of the Real Estate Institute, Chris Fitzpatrick, said.
Prices at the weekend ranged from $170,000 for a two-bedroom Lakemba unit to $8.8 million for a five-bedroom Mosman waterfront. The average house price was $835,000. Units averaged $470,000.
In Cremorne, a three-bedroom Federation house sold for $1.33 million. The Montague Road property had been restored and extended since it last sold in 1997 for $670,000. A two-bedroom Darlinghurst terrace fetched $472,000. The Parisian-style Sherbrooke Street terrace last sold in 1991 for $168,000.
Thirty-two properties settled before auction. In Surry Hills, a Victorian three-bedroom terrace sold before auction for $550,000. The High Holborn Street terrace last sold in 1994 for $244,000. In Cammeray, a three-bedroom Federation house in Morden Street fetched $1.15 million before auction. It last sold in 1984 for $209,000.
