Nauen Transmitter Station
Nauen Transmitter Station (German: Grossfunkstelle Nauen or Sender Nauen) in Nauen, Havelland district, Brandenburg, Germany, is the oldest radio transmitting installation in the world. It was founded on 1 April 1906 by Telefunken engineer R. Hirsch on a 40-hectare property north of Nauen, leased from Fideikommissar Fritz Stotze.
Before World War I, the Nauen station was a research station of Telefunken. Trial service was initiated on 9 August 1906, and operational service began on 16 August 1906 using spark-gap transmitters. An umbrella antenna was supported by a steel lattice mast 100 metres high, insulated from earth.
Since the station had no commercial power, a 35 HP steam tractor was installed in the transmitter building, a light half timbered house, which powered a 50 Hz alternator producing 24 kVA output power.
Arc transmitters were installed in 1909, which increased the range of the station to 5000 kilometres.
A radio link with the German colony of Togoland was established for the first time in 1911. In the same year the antenna tower was increased to 200 metres in height; however, this tower was destroyed by a storm on 31 March 1912. A temporary replacement antenna was suspended between two 120 metres high masts. This was replaced by a V-shaped antenna supported by five masts at end of 1912. In 1913 the first high power machine transmitter was installed in the station. It worked with frequency doubling using the Arco system, not to be confused with Alexanderson alternator.
A large antenna, 1037 metres long, was installed on 10 February 1914 supported by a 260 metre mast and two 120 metre masts. A new modern transmitter building was also installed.
First World War and the interwar period[edit]
After the beginning of World War I, the station became very important because the transatlantic cables leading to Germany were cut by the British Navy. During the war, the station was run by the German Admiralty. The British Radio Intelligence Service devoted much effort into intercepting and decoding communications from the station during the war.
In 1916, at the urging of Bredow, major additional development of the station took place. The antenna system was enormously increased in size and additional longwave machine transmitters were installed. In 1920 the main antenna, carried on two 260 metre and four 125 metre high masts, was 2484 metres long.
At a right angle to the large antenna was a smaller antenna, carried by three masts, one of which looked like an electricity power transmission pylon. The last longwave transmitter was installed at Nauen in 1923. Shortwave transmitters were installed after 1924.
From 1918 to 1931 the station was run by Transradio AG. On 1 January 1932 the German Reichspost took over the station.
Although vacuum tube transmitters had long been the state of the art in the 1930s, the high power machine transmitters were again modernized in 1937.
Second World War and the post-war period[edit]
In World War II, the VLF-transmitters served mainly to transmit instructions to submerged submarines. The station survived World War II without damage, but after May 1945 was disassembled by Soviet occupation forces. All technical mechanisms were dismantled and the masts of the station were blown up. Whether and where the dismantled transmitters were used in the Soviet Union is unknown. The Muthesius building was also planned to be blown up, but this was prevented.
The building was used for potato storage up until 1955 when the station began to install shortwave transmitters once again, first only for diplomatic communications, and then for foreign broadcast in 1958. Thirty-nine rhombic antennas were erected for transmitting.
In the 1960s one of the first rotating shortwave broadcast antennas was built nearby at the Dechtower dyke. This antenna, which still exists, has a height of 70 metres and it supports two antenna fields weighing 40 and 70 tons.
In 1972, near the rotating antenna, a shortwave curtain antenna was built and further transmitters went into service. Also, a new shortwave curtain antenna beamed toward South America was built.
After German reunification, all transmitters and antennas, except for shortwave broadcast, were switched off and dismantled.
Current status[edit]
A new shortwave broadcasting system consisting of four rotating towers and four 500 kilowatt transmitters was built by Thomcast Communications between 1995 and 1997.

If you're wondering why Wal-Mart is advertising about how well it treats its worker bees, it may be because demonstrators have launched an ambitious campaign to draw attention to the retail giant's exploitation and alleged abuse of employees.
Police arrested 54 people Thursday, after protesters blocked the street next to a Wal-Mart in Los Angeles' Chinatown.
Wal-Mart took in a record $17 billion in profit in 2012, but the group OUR Walmart says the company pays the vast majority of its workers less than $25,000 a year.

Hank Williams Jr. apologizes for Obama-Hitler comment
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Country music singer Hank Williams Jr. canceled a Fox News Channel interview on Tuesday and said he was sorry for any offense given by his recent statement comparing President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler.
The apology of sorts was posted on his website a day after the Disney-owned cable sports channel ESPN pulled Williams' theme song from its latest "Monday Night Football" broadcast in a rebuke to the country star for his Hitler remark.
Appearing on the Fox News morning program "Fox & Friends" on Monday, Williams said he thought that a June 18 golf summit pairing Obama with Republican House speaker John Boehner in the midst of the congressional budget crisis had "turned a lot of people off."
Asked what he didn't like about the friendly bipartisan golf match, Williams replied, "Come on! It'd be like Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu." He went on to refer to Obama and Vice President Joe Biden as "the enemy."
After his "All My Rowdy Friends" song was yanked from the "Monday Night Football" opening by ESPN later that day in protest, Williams issued a statement acknowledging that his "analogy was extreme" but insisting it was intended to illustrate how ludicrous he thought it was for Obama and Boehner to team up at golf.
"They're polar opposites and it made no sense. They don't see eye-to-eye and never will," the bearded singer said.
Williams, 62, was scheduled to return to the Fox News Channel with an interview on Tuesday on the "Hannity" show, but the network told Reuters that the singer decided to cancel.
Hours later, he posted yet another, somewhat more contrite statement, saying: "I have always been very passionate about politics and sports, and this time it got the best or worst of me. Continued...

Rumors abound that Arsenal have reached out to Michael Zorc through a headhunting firm in hopes of recruiting the Borussia Dortmund Director of Football to North London.
The pressure on Arsene Wenger can only have increased as his Gunners imploded in the second half and lost to Bayern Munich 5-1 in the first leg of their Champions League knock-out round.
Due to Southampton's EFL Cup final, the match between Arsenal and Southampton at St. Mary's on February 25th has been postponed. A make-up date has yet to be announced.

Arsenal could have gotten been given an early boost with a match against Liverpool on the first weekend of the season.
Arsene Wenger has won two FA Cups in successive years but won't repeat that trick this year after losing to Watford. With the title looking unlikely as well, will this be the end?
Arsenal's 4-0 win over Hull City means that the weekend's scheduled Premier League match with West Brom has been postponed in favor of a quarter final match-up with Watford.
There were lots of places that fingers could be pointed but Arsene Wenger has to take the brunt of the blame for Arsenal's 3-2 loss to Manchester United.

The "Real" Christmas
Write/comment whatever you want here...that's the beauty of this country, free will. It means everyone gets to write whatever they want to. You want to write me hate mail, then go for it, doesn't mean I have to take it seriously.
If you're easily offended, it's simple...DON'T read this...
I will apologize to everyone in advance for the proceeding note [although I do not feel the need to]. This is not meant to offend anyone, or to crush anybodys Christmas spirit. I am merely presenting the facts of this holiday, and you can decide for yourself if you agree or not. However, if you do not agree, please do not hold it against me. As I said, I am merely stating the obvious and exercising my right as a Canadian to voice my opinion. And, just for the record, this was written ABOUT THIS TIME LAST YEAR, so it's kind of old.
6am Christmas morning, okay, I lied. It's 1:38am, Christmas morning. I've nothing but utter contempt for this poor excuse of a holiday. All it accomplishes is proof that humanity can find "happiness" through the power of the dollar. Christmas is a selling platform. All it stands to accomplish is that it causes people to spend money that they don't have, so that they may out buy each other or out buy themselves from the previous year. I'm not sparing Christianity either. Even they lost sight of their "meaning" of Christmas. It was supposed to celebrate the birth of their "Saviour." but, they are just as bad as the rest of us. everyone has let materialism get the better of them. Christmas is now just a materialistic holiday. Christianities god preaches that man should not hold any of their worldly possessions above anything. He preaches that there should be no material value to anything. It doesn't matter what anyone has in this life, it wont matter. You will die, and you wont be able to take any of your worldly possessions with you. Even the "God" of Christianity knows there is no worth in materialism.
Christmas has become based upon materialism, Christianity contradicts itself, once again. Again, Christianity has taken a good idea, added their personal touches, incorporated big business and ruined it. Christmas is now a lost cause. If there is one thing that humanity is good for, it's ruining everything that they come in contact with. December 25th is just another day, nothing special. someone midaswell just take a random day, say their Saviour was born on it, tell people to be materialistic bastards, and be done with it. It would just be the "meaning of Christmas" on another day. And, worse, people would go for it. If merely an excuse to dote upon themselves, and on others.
No matter how you look at it, Christmas is gone. It has completely lost its meaning. Strip everything that makes it special, take away the tree, the materialistic gifts, decorations, and its just one more day in our lives.
And another thing, Christmas was stolen from the pagans. Christians saw that the pagans were celebrating on a specific day (I.E. December, 25th) and decided that they would say their Saviour was born on that day in a feeble attempt to convert the pagans. Guess what, it worked. Now Christians and pagans celebrated the joyous holiday of noel...
The Christmas tree. The pagans used to decorate trees with the heads and entrails of their enemies. Gradually, this became Christmas balls and tinsel. Appetizing, isn't it.
Everyone loves Christmas, well, almost everyone, until you look deeper into the background of this holiday. We all know about all hallows eve (Halloween), so why isn't it as widely accepted as Christmas? It started as a pagan holiday too. It was created as a way to worship and remember ones dead relatives.
Draw your own conclusions. Don't just follow a holiday blindly. The Jehovah's Witnesses have the right idea. They don't celebrate Christmas. They aren't allowed to get attached to materialistic values...sound familiar?
Santa Claus, A.K.A. Saint Nicholas. Good old Saint Nick. He looked nothing like the Santa of today. Saint Nick was not a fat, jolly old man. Ne did not dress all in red, wear lots of fur, or ride in a sleigh. He did not have nine reindeer, nor did he walk around shouting, "Ho Ho Ho!" furthermore, he didn't sit in malls, with small children on his lap. I doubt he ate obscene amounts of cookies either. He didn't have small "elves" that worked in his workshop. if it was any other time of the year, would anyone let their small children sit on the lap of a complete stranger that had his face hidden?
The original Saint Nicholas is believed to be one Nicholas of Myra. The name Santa Claus was derived from the New York historical society's name Sancte Claus, in 1809. He was known as the patron saint of Nieuw Amsterdam, the dutch name for the modern day New York City.
Another thing, the candy cane. An urban legend tells us that it was to represent Jesus Christ. Simply, when inverted, it created a "j" for Jesus. The white represented Jesus' purity. The red stripes, his crucifixion. Also, the three red stripes represent the father, the son, and the holy spirit.
The original candy cane was merely white and completely straight. a choir master decided to bend the candy into a cane shape. He gave it to the children in the church. It is unknown if the candy's "cane-shape" was a reference to Jesus Christ as the "good shepherd."

Living Without Philosophy: On Narrative, Rhetoric, and Morality
€ 30,49
Besorgung - Lieferbarkeit unbestimmt
Juli 1998
BeschreibungLiving Without Philosophy argues that we do not need ethical theories, rules, and principles to decide what is right. Instead, particular cases can be judged by a detailed description of the relevant circumstances. When our judgments differ, we can decide how to act by deliberating under fair conditions. The author provides both a philosophical argument for this position and readings of literary texts in which moral theorists are portrayed as concrete characters. These works include Plato's Protagoras, selections from the Gospels and Dante, Boethius's Consolation of Philosophy, the debate between Erasmus and Luther, Erasmus's Praise of Folly, Shakespeare's King Lear, Nabokov's Lolita, and Martin Luther King's Letter from a Birmingham Jail. Thus, Levine offers essentially a moral argument for the humanities, discussing the implications not for ethics, but also for theology, law, politics, and education.

Sometimes the problem is caused by the installer program. There have been cases where the anti-virus guys mistakenly extract a signature from the installer program rather than the from the malware itself, which causes false positives on other programs using the same installer. Just a guess, but it seems likely here because Tomcat uses the popular open-source Nullsoft installer. -- Len

Fallen Dragon is a classic standalone novel by science fiction star Peter F. Hamilton.
Lawrence Newton always dreamed of adventure amongst the stars. Now the ultimate prize is within his grasp, but what will he risk to get it?
Lawrence is the sergeant of a washed-out platoon taking part in the bungled invasion of yet another human colony world. The giant corporations call such campaigns 'asset realization', but in practice it's simple piracy.
When he's on the ground, being shot at and firebombed by resistance forces, he recalls stories of the Temple of the Fallen Dragon. Its priests supposedly guard a treasure hoard large enough to buy lifelong happiness. So Lawrence decides to mount a dangerous private-enterprise operation of his own.

"Just Brilliant"
having read the book 8 times and knowing the story, hearing it narrated by John Lee was about perfect. A great story with great narration.
"A coherent universe inhabited by believable people"
Hard science fiction at its best. Hamilton has created a fully realised universe and filled it with utterly believable characters. The ending was perfect. John Lee's narration was quite compelling.
"great book,well read"
Liked the book, though unsure of the ending it threw a load of closure in a hurry, maybe a deadline or word oimit.
The narration was good, though pauses where the narrative jumped in time would have been helpful.
"twist after twist plus amazing characterisation"
phenomenal. complex characters that are incredibly real, worlds that you want to visit and a story that keeps youguessing. plus the sweetest of endings. loved it.
"An epic in a nutshell"
Classic Hamilton, fantastic short story in comparison to Peters other epics, but just as enthralling, entertaining and as usual a page turner.
Highly recommended if you do not have the time to devote to one of the trilogies.
"Good but lots of flannel"
Good story, but really somewhat longer than it needs to be. Better Hamilton titles are available, clear that this one is good early work.
"gripping and novel"
I found this immensely enjoyable. if you like peters other books you'll probably enjoy this one too. well narrated.
"a brillant story brillantly done"
i love this story, i couldn't help but identify with the main character. my favourite book by the author by far, and i like all of his work. waited ten years for this audiobook version.. worth the wait.
"Thoroughly enjoyable"
Great single part novel with some fantastic twists and character building. Classic Hamilton, extremely well narrated by John Lee, what are you waiting for?
I read the book just after it has been releaded. now I have listened to it. The story is just marvellous, captivating! you cannot stop enjoying, like all the books of Peter F. Hamilton, starting with a Commonwealth Saga.
Brilliant narration
Powerful underlying themes and impossible to put down
All in all another classic from peter f hamilton
"So far I have never been disappointed by Peter"
work of art, twisting time with wonderful technology and aliens. Had my imagination running itself amock, superb, captivating.
although I did struggle understanding the point of the pirate corporation, while I understand the image, it's bloody unrealistic to have an army of debt collectors.

Euro touches four-and-a-half month high against greenback
Euro continued to rally against the dollar to reach a four-and-a-half month high, supported by growing speculation over interest rate hike in April by the European Central Bank (ECB).
The EUR/USD was last up 0.1 pct at $1.4237, after touching the highest since early November 2010 at $1.4246 on EBS. Euro/dollar is supported after Trichet continued to signal a rate hike in April and by developments in yields. A test of the $1.4283 level is extremely likely in the next couple of days, if not today, Reuters reported, quoting Mic Ingenuus, currency strategist at Nordea in Copenhagen.
The ECB's hawkish view continued this week and indicated that the Japan earthquake will not affect the timing of rate hike by the bank.
"The board of governors remains ready to react in a resolute manner and at the opportune time to avoid heightened risks materializing and weighing on the stability of medium-term prices and... great vigilance is called for, with a view toward containing the heightened risks to price stability," said Yves Mersch, governing council member, ECB.
The UK sterling climbed to 14-month high against the greenback after the release of UK inflation data for February. The sterling climbed to its highest since January 2010 at $1.6377, from $1.6338 ahead of the data release.
The annual consumer price index (CPI) in the UK rose to 4.4 percent in February compared with 4 percent in the previous month, the Office for National Statistics said on Tuesday.
UK inflation rate in February remained above the central bank's target of 2 percent for the fifteenth consecutive month, strengthening expectations over interest rate hike by the Bank of England (BoE) as early as May.

I love pampers diapers! never had any issues with leakage, and found that unlike other brands the tabs don't rip. I used these for all three of my children. My number one choice, since all my children have sensitive skin.
Very good quality diapers, good for my baby's extra sensitive skin. The only disposable diapers that leave her rash-free. They are soft to the touch, fragrance-free, and super absorbent.

|Setting up cluster and nodetool ring in 0.8.0
|Fri, 03 Jun 2011 16:21:14 GMT
I want to make sure I'm not seeing things from a weird perspective. I have two Cassandra instances where one is set to be the seed, with autobootstap disabled and its seed being 127.0.0.1. The second instance has autobootstrap enabled and the seed IP set to the IP of the first node. I start the first node, then the second, with no errors. However, when I run: bin/nodetool -h localhost ring My output shows me only the local machine in my ring. When I run: bin/nodetool -h localhost join seedNodeIP It tells me I'm already a part of the ring. My question is which is correct? I thought, from the documentation, that both of my nodes would show up in the ring if I ran 'ring' in nodetool. This is a new cluster. -- *David McNelis* Lead Software Engineer Agentis Energy www.agentisenergy.com o: 630.359.6395 c: 219.384.5143 *A Smart Grid technology company focused on helping consumers of energy control an often under-managed resource.*

The powerful new tapeless AG-HMC150 series joins the Panasonic line of professional HD camcorders. This new AVCCAM camcorder features highly-acclaimed functions for the popular AG-DVX100 Series of DV-tape based camcorders to tapeless HD recording. Using the cost-saving AVCHD format to record onto SDHC or SD Memory Card media, the AG-HMC150 series produces exceptional images and responds to creative production needs. It also features a 28mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle lens - widest in a professional camera of this class - and a newly developed 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCD. It further enhances image quality by adding a higher-quality PH mode to the clean, extended-time recording abilities of the AVCHD format. The AG-HMC150 series handles full-pixel (1920 x 1080/1280 x 720) 25p progressive recording, and includes cinelike gamma and other versatile functions to meet the special needs of creative image production.
Memory-Card Recording Lowers Costs and Helps the Environment
The SD/SDHC Memory Card media for the AVCCAM camcorder is totally free from abrasion and dropout. There is no drive mechanism required, as there is for tape and disc-based recorders, so power consumption is low and size and weight are reduced. Malfunctions are less likely to occur, and there is no need to replace heads or transport components. This translates into lower costs and easier maintenance, greater energy savings, and less waste when the unit is eventually disposed of. All of these features help to conserve the environment. Panasonic is a leader in creating and promoting the advantages of memory-card recording, both in its AVCCAM camcorders and P2 HD broadcast and professional systems, through a program called the AVCCAM 3-Year Warranty Repair Program.
28mm Wide-Angle, 13X Zoom Leica Dicomar® HD Lens
The wide-angle zoom lens that became so popular in the HVX200 Series has been downsized, lightened, and further widened in this 13X zoom lens. The new lens structure combines 13 lens elements in 10 groups, with 3 aspherical lenses. The diameter of the front lens element has been reduced from 67 to 53.2 mm, while still achieving a 28mm wide angle (35mm equivalent), the widest of the class.*
The new lens covers most shooting situations without requiring a wide-angle conversion lens. Its minimum object distance (MOD) of about 0.6 meter at the telephoto setting helps to maximize the handheld camcorder's inherent mobility.
The same cam-driven zoom ring that was so popular in previous models ensures accurate zooming. The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates Leica optical technology and know-how throughout. A multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. This results in sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading.
New Progressive CCD Raises Sensitivity and Lowers Noise and Smear
The new 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCD on the AG-HMC150 series further raises image quality. It combines a significantly improved S/N ratio and better low-light performance than previous models. Backed by a high-performance digital signal processor, the CCD brings higher quality to HD images to meet the demands of broadcasters and high-end video producers.
High-Resolution Native Progressive 1080/50p Scan
Progressive to interlace conversion, cross conversion and down conversion all start with the 1080/50p scan. That initial 1080p native progressive scan offers the highest level of vertical resolution possible at this level of camera. Keep in mind that the camera does not record this signal but uses it as a basis for all captures. The result is an HD or SD recording with a level of image quality that cannot be matched by electronically processed scans.
DSP with 14-Bit A/D Conversion and 19-Bit Processing
The digital signal processor developed for the AG-HMC150 series video signals uses 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit inner processing to attain unprecedented accuracy. It is from this capture that all other signals are made. The DSP performs a variety of adjustments, including eight types of gamma settings, for each of the R, G and B channels. It also converts the signals to HD or SD format. With a performance equivalent to the processors used in many higher-end HD cameras, this DSP delivers beautiful images in all video formats.
Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS)
Panasonic's advanced OIS dramatically reduces the blurring caused by hand-held camera work. Optical processing with an automatic correction function helps assure consistently clear, sharp images.
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The images that result are enhanced by a visually wide dynamic range.

Last Year, Nearly 79,000 Illinoisans Received over $41 Million in Tax Returns
CHICAGO, Jan. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- This year, AARP Foundation is again providing free tax assistance and preparation for taxpayers with low to moderate income through the AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide, in its 45th year, is the nation's largest free tax assistance and preparation service, giving special attention those 60 and older. You do not need to be a member of AARP or a retiree to use this free service.
"The Tax-Aide program exists to help individuals that might not otherwise have access to tax preparation services," said Bob Gallo, AARP Illinois State Director. "AARP Foundation's Tax-Aide program is run by trained volunteers, who make an immeasurable impact on the individuals and communities they serve."
In 2013, AARP Foundation Tax-Aide's 35,000 volunteers at nearly 6,000 sites provided 2.6 million people with free tax help. Taxpayers who used AARP Foundation Tax-Aide received $1.3 billion in income tax refunds and more than $244 million in Earned Income Tax Credits (EITCs).
Last year, 1,128 AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers helped nearly 79,000 Illinoisans file their federal and state tax returns, and receive over $41 million in tax returns. The program is offered at approximately 200 sites in Illinois including senior centers, libraries and other convenient locations.
For more information or to locate an AARP Foundation Tax-Aide site, visit www.aarp.org/findtaxhelp or call 1-888-AARPNOW (1-888-227-7669). AARP Foundation Tax-Aide is offered in conjunction with the IRS.

Expert warns nuclear power doesn't add up
Broadcast: 28/07/2006
Reporter: Simon Royal
The nuclear debate hit centre stage again this week with Labor Leader Kim Beazley promising to drop his party's long-standing three mine policy. If it happens it will mean uranium mining is no longer a major difference between the two major political parties, but others say we should be going further and setting up a nuclear power industry in South Australia. Simon Royal has the story.
PROFESSOR IAN PLIMER, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE: I think if we had nuclear power being fed into the grid then we would be able to control our destiny.
DANNY PRICE, ELECTRICITY ANALYST: Somebody would have to invest some tens of billions of dollars in power stations to get to that level.
IAN SMITH, CEO, ANSTO: The debate on nuclear power is absolutely essential.
DAVID NOONAN, AUST CONSERVATION FOUNDATION: It's a public relations exercise by the nuclear industry.
SIMON ROYAL: Australia has had debates about nuclear power before. But never like this one. Even Prime Minister John Howard says it has to be considered as an option for the future.
IAN SMITH: I think our Prime Minister has joined the Prime Minister of United Kingdom and the President of the United States in realising that this is a time when leadership has to be given to solve a major problem, a major global problem of climate change.
SIMON ROYAL: Global warming has helped revive the debate but what's really kicked things along was a report commissioned by the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, Ansto. It's always been accepted that in Australia, with vast coal and gas reserves, nuclear power would be more expensive than conventional electricity. But the Ansto report by Professor John Gittus argues those economics have changed.
IAN SMITH: Nuclear power is competitive without carbon tax for producing low carbon emission electricity. So it isn't that John Gittus's report is different from the rest of the world's outcomes: it is in fact just confirming that Australia isn't different from the rest of the world.
SIMON ROYAL: It is a crucial point in making the economic case for nuclear power. But the claim of cost competitiveness is now being challenged by one of the country's foremost experts on the national electricity market.
DANNY PRICE: In fact, of all the reports that we have looked, all the analysis that we have conducted, and comparing his costs with others, it's by far the lowest estimate we've ever seen, lower than even some reported by the Uranium Institute.
SIMON ROYAL: Danny Price is an economist with Frontier Economics, a company that specialises in energy analysis. He argues many of the Ansto report's assumptions are wrong. On his calculation, he says nuclear power would cost consumers more, perhaps 25 per cent more. He says the returns would be too low to attract private investors leaving taxpayers with the bill.
DANNY PRICE: Even with the government underwriting a lot of the development risks, it still wouldn't be sufficient, still wouldn't be cost competitive in the Australian economy, in the Australian national electricity market.
IAN SMITH: There is no doubt that nuclear is now competitive, and these are people who have invested billions of dollars in building plans, have done these calculations and have decided that nuclear is the way to go.
SIMON ROYAL: Then there's the question of global warming, and Ansto argues nuclear is Australia's cheapest, most reliable option to cut greenhouse gases.
IAN SMITH: In 2005 the nuclear power stations of the world save the emission of 2.5 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
DAVID NOONAN: We could start by converting half of Australia's households from electric to solar hot water heating and, in that step alone, we'd save more power than could be delivered by a nuclear reactor.
SIMON ROYAL: But are there other reasons to go nuclear. Geology Professor Ian Plimer says it would give Australia energy security through diversity of supply. And he knows the perfect site for a power station.
PROFESSOR IAN PLIMER, UNIVERSITY OF ADELAIDE: I think South Australia is an obvious candidate for building a power station.
SIMON ROYAL: Professor Plimer believes not only should Australia have a domestic nuclear power industry, we should be a world-wide broker for nuclear fuel to keep track of it.
PROF IAN PLIMER: I think the only way for Australia to guarantee, and to become the world watchdog in nuclear energy is to lease the rods, and this would give Australia some wonderful international strength. We could basically control energy. We could be, in effect, like the Middle East now but we would control nuclear energy.
DAVID NOONAN: Nuclear fuel leasing means international nuclear waste dumping. We've had that debate in Australia and the nuclear proponents lost.
SIMON ROYAL: That may be so but nevertheless the debate goes on. So, for interest and argument's sake, how would Australia get into the nuts and bolts of nuclear power? One thing is clear, and the experts tend to agree, this country doesn't have the expertise to do it itself. So Australia would have to go overseas and buy one from someone else. Nuclear reactors have been tailored to specific sites and therefore very expensive, but the Westinghouse company in the United States has designed a new type of reactor called the AP1000. It will be as close to buying a nuclear reactor off the shelf as possible.
VOICE OF ED CUMMINS, VICE PRESIDENT, REGULATORY AFFAIRS, WESTINGHOUSE, PENNSYLVANIA: It means that every customer gets the same product. It's generally viewed by the nuclear industry that the only way that nuclear power can be viable by any of those suppliers is if they do this standardisation because it's very, very expensive to design a new plant.
SIMON ROYAL: It is one of the reactors looked at in the Ansto's report and it's argued if a number are built, it could become cheap enough for Australia to buy. Critics point out no-one has built one yet. The next major step in Australia's nuclear debate comes later this year when the Prime Minister's Inquiry Into Nuclear Energy reports, and both sides will be watching that eagerly.
IAN HENSCHKE: The State Government says it remains opposed to nuclear power and uranium enrichment. The Opposition Leader, Iain Evans, says he's waiting to see what the Federal Government's review has to say.

Arcteryx Women's Sentinel Pant Fall 15
The Sentinel Pant delivers performance weather protection with freeride versatility. Made from N70p GORE TEXAR with 3L soft shell construction, they are windproof, waterproof and have a soft brushed liner for light insulation. The women's specific design optimizes the fit, and articulation throughout the legs provides freedom of movement on traverses and descents. The Arc'teryx Athletic fit, restyled with a reduced leg circumference, allows room for layers in a contemporary freeride look. Because they mix on area descents and off piste exploration, freeriders require performance features that handle the rigors of both. The Sentinel's large side pockets channel cargo away from impact zones, and double side zips open wide for rapid ventilation while traversing to steeper terrain. PowderCuffsTM seal out snow, can fit under snowboard highbacks, and are built from rugged 100D CorduraAR to resist tears and abrasion. KeprotecTM instep patches prevent damage from edge cuts and debris. Integrated Slide'n LocTM attachments link with the Sentinel and Scimitar Jackets' powder skirts, creating a unified clothing system that moves with the body and helps seal out driven snow. Note: this product only ships to North America

Whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper until well blended.
Pour the eggs and tomatoes into the frying pan and stir constantly over low heat with a rubber spatula. When the eggs begin to get firm, add the dill and continue stirring.
When the eggs have reached the desired degree of doneness, put them on warm plates and serve immediately.
Note: Reduce fat and cholesterol considerably, plus calories, by using egg substitute.

SUBMITTED: Friday, November 20, 2009POSTED: Friday, November 20, 2009
This contractor was hired for numerous sites on a large project, with a customer that was both an elite large company, and also still new to Contingent. We began receiving complaints from our customer when they arrived onsite due to the quality of the work on the cabling. The complaints became high enough that we were forced to remove this company from the project, and had to then work hard to redeem our reputation with this customer. It was demanded by our end customer, and also required for our reputation on quality, for us to send a Quality Team to visit all of this Contractors sites. This incurred additional internal resource time, and a lot of time to save this project with the customer. Our finding at the numerous sites costs us thousands of dollars in materials and labor to bring up to code and acceptable quality. It was communicated to this company on numerous occasions that their payments would be held until we resolved this issue and finished all clean-up on their sites in order to know what the cost of cleanup would be. Some payments were sent out if we reached a site in which there were no issues, or little issues, so they did receive thousands of dollars in payments on verified good quality sites during this review. The review has been complete, and the deductions have been removed from this contractor's invoices. The remaining amount has been approved, and is in the queue for payment. This contractor has been notified, and also sent all supporting documentation and photos reflecting the poor quality installations. CNS has all documentation required to support these withholdings.

text: Mr. Smit: With regard to the tail packing, yes, I need it; I am using a laptop with limited space. Any ideas on whether it has become a stable option to use yet in EXT3? With regard to the reserved block percentage, I did not know this was adjustable via tune2fs or I would have done the man page on it. I will look at the tune2fs man page. With regard to turning off the journaling via tune2fs, I think there is a bug in tune2fs. It seems that it did not reverse whatever needed to be reversed in order for Partition Magic to think the filesystem was EXT2 again and not EXT3. Any further ideas?

The manpage of tune2fs gives me this, I'm sure you know what to do with it: -O [^]feature[,...] Set or clear the indicated filesystem features (options) in the filesystem. More than one filesystem feature can be cleared or set by sepa- rating features with commas. Filesystem features prefixed with a caret character ('^') will be cleared in the filesystem's superblock; filesystem features without a prefix character or prefixed with a plus character ('+') will be added to the filesystem. The following filesystem features can be set or cleared using tune2fs: sparse_super Limit the number of backup superblocks to save space on large filesystems. filetype Store file type information in direc- tory entries. has_journal Create an ext3 journal (as if using the -j option). After setting or clearing any filesystem feature, e2fsck(8) must be run on the filesystem to return the filesystem to a consistent state. > b) Someone had posted a command to adjust the percentage of > "reserve" space that EXT3 sets aside, can someone repost that again? Manpages rock! The same manpage that gave me the journal-stuff also gives me: -m reserved-blocks-percentage Set the percentage of reserved filesystem blocks. -r reserved-blocks-count Set the number of reserved filesystem blocks. Next time when you mail a mailinglist first try google, man, etc. first? :) Regards, Erik Smit

Chapter One
Winnie neighs softly and nuzzles my hand. She's lookin' for a treat. An apple or sugar cube, but the apple barrel's empty; the sugar jar dry. I take her out and let her loose in the meadow so she can graze.
"Sister!" cries Ryan in his wee six-year-old voice. He's runnin' toward me from the house. "Come quick! Somethin's happened!"
He takes my hand and we rush next door. Mama is standin' with the cryin' Mrs. Gallagher and looks solemn. Papa is a ways a way talkin' in low voices with Rory, the Gallaghers' oldest son. Seamus, their wee little one, takes my hand and looks up at me with big, sad eyes. I give his hand a squeeze, doin' my best to reassure him.
Later, in the Parlor, Mama and I tend t' Mr. Gallagher. Mama says he's real sick and there's nothin' we can do. That he's dyin'. Mrs. Gallagher is in Mama's bedroom sobbin' quietly with Seamus in her arms. He's cryin' too.
"Mama, is Papa goin' t' be okay?"
"I don't know" she whispers.
He died this mornin', Mr. Gallagher. Mrs. Gallagher almost went with him. Almost died o' heartbreak. But she says "No. I can't leave my children. I can't leave my babies." She's rockin' in the rockin' chair, back and forth real slow, starin' out the window at nothin'. Seamus stays by my side, his little hand in mine. I do what I can t' comfort him but it ain't much. The whole house is gloomy and solemn.
Mama's in the kitchen cookin' supper. 'Tis never much, but now that the Gallaghers' have lost their home, 'tis even less than usual. I watch expressionless as Mama cleans and peels our few meager potatoes. Seamus is pickin' up the peels and feedin' 'em t' our terrier, Siobahn, but even she seems depressed.
I leave Seamus in the kitchen and go upstairs t' practice my readin'. Papa says I'm not supposed t'. That we'll get in trouble. But I can't help it. I want t' learn.
"Katherine!" He sees the little book and whisks it out o' my hands. "What've I told ye? This is against the law!"
He shakes it angrily and throws it down. Tears well in my eyes. "I'm sorry, Papa."
His face softens. "Don't cry, child. I'm just tryin' t' keep us safe."
"I know, Papa.
He wraps me in his strong arms. I want t' stay there forever but nothin' good can last that long.
There's a loud bangin' downstairs and Mama calls "Doyle, you'd better come down."
"Stay here," says Papa before he leaves my room. After he's gone, I creep out ont' the stairs. Papa is in the parlor talkin' to a greedy lookin' man with a pinched mouth and tiny eyes. I can't hear what he's sayin', but he looks worried.
I overheard Mama and Papa talkin' last night. It seems I'm to be shipped off t' America. Papa knows I know, as I walk around with my head down, starin' at my feet.
He takes my arm and pulls me close.
"I just want ye to have a better life."
I say nothin' and go on.
"Hello, Siobahn," I greet the little dog as she trots up and dejectedly licks my ankle. All my dresses are gettin' too short now and I've got but one bonnet. Mama is tryin' her best but without the money it just ain't enough.
Mr. Carleton is his name, the man with the small, piggish eye. He's back today. Papa says he'll be escortin' me to America. Pennsylvania, he says.
"I don't want t' go Papa!" I sob. "Please don't make me leave! I want t' stay here with you and Mama and Ryan!"
"Katherine, hush yerself now. This good man has offered t' take ye t' America with him," Papa says to me. "It's fer yer own good, darlin'. Mama and I can't raise ye right here. Ye'll see."
I cross my arms and stamp my foot stubbornly. "You can raise me just fine here, Papa. I don't want t' go with him. I don't like him!"
"Well, I don't! He's greedy lookin'! You see the way he's always rubbin' his hands together like some kind o' miser."
Papa grabs me by the arm and drags me int' the kitchen.
"Katherine, this man has given us money! Enough t' buy ye some new clothin'! Clothin' for every day o' the week. Ye won't have to wash every night!
"I don't care, Papa! I don't care if I have t' wash every night as long as I'm here! 'Tis home t' me. I don't want t' leave!"
The day has come. My new clothes have been packed in my new trunk and carried aboard. Mama and Ryan are tearful. Papa stands in stony silence.
"I love you, Papa!" I cry as I throw myself into his stiff arms.
He softens. "I love ye too, darlin'," he says quietly. "But 'tis time for ye t' go."
I bury my head in his broad chest for a moment, takin' in the familiar smell of home. Then I move on to Mama.
"Goodbye, Mama," I whisper with tears in my eyes. "I love you."
She nods silently and wraps her arms around me, stroking my hair. Ryan clings to my leg.
"Don't go!" he wails.
"I have t'," I tell him as I take his wee face in my hands and place a kiss on his forehead. "But I'll see you again. I promise. Be good for Mama."
He nods and lets go, clingin' t' Mama's hand instead.
Mr. Carleton clears his throat and I am ushered aboard the ship.
