VIENNA – The government Monday came under criticism from some nuclear experts at a briefing held on the sidelines of the U.N. nuclear watchdog's annual assembly over its attempt to stem the leak of radioactive water at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant.
At the meeting called by the government, a Slovenian expert said all Japan has been doing for a long period of time was storing contaminated water in tanks, questioning whether it has found a solution to the problem.
A French expert highlighted that the government sometimes did not immediately disclose information about leakage cases. The expert said Japan could have publicized information promptly and accurately through avenues such as Twitter.
Japanese officials said it takes time to identify locations of leaks and to block them. They also said that the government has considered releasing groundwater from mountains to the sea in order to reduce water flowing into reactor buildings, but has faced oppositions from fishermen concerned about radioactive contamination.
Japan has sought to enhance transparency in order to win the trust of the international community, the officials said.
The briefing was held on the fringe of the annual general conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency that opened Monday in Vienna.
At the power plant crippled by the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster in Fukushima Prefecture, about 400 tons of groundwater has been flowing into reactor buildings every day, creating a new source of pollution.
At the conference Ichita Yamamoto, Japan's science and technology policy minister, tried to ease international concerns about continued leaks of radioactive water, assuring Tokyo's full commitment to contain the tainted water crisis.
Yamamoto also pledged to redouble efforts to provide the international community with accurate information on the problem at the plant.
In his speech on the first day of the five-day annual gathering, Yamamoto said the Japanese government regards tackling the water crisis as its "most urgent task" and intends to spend ¥47 billion on necessary measures.
He also stressed Japanese water and food are safe to eat and drink thanks to stringent safety standards adopted after the nuclear accident. Effects of the water leaks are limited to a 0.3-sq. km area inside the Fukushima plant's port, Yamamoto said in line with the government's official view, pointing out radiation levels in seawater outside the port are lower than safety limits for drinking water set by the World Health Organization.
The minister called for the international community's cooperation with Japan in sorting out the water problem and decommissioning tsunami-ravaged nuclear power reactors.
It is necessary to establish a global cooperation system that brings together technology and expertise from all over the world because the work to end the water crisis and the reactor decommissioning project needs to overcome unprecedented challenges, he said.
At the meeting, IAEA Director-General Yukiya Amano expressed the organization's readiness to extend assistance to Japan, saying the water leak problem is "a matter of high priority that needs to be addressed urgently."

Hi Martin
The five sales I made were mostly people I knew: 3 friends, 1 client and one person I didn't know. That's because I was in the validation stage of "how to make your first dollar" where we validate our idea first with the contacts we have already.
My idea was an ebook. I wanted to see if people wanted it first before I wrote it.
I posted in FB and in my FB groups, and to my super small email list.
I used anti-selling and painting the picture techniques. Noah explains these well.
You can see the super quick webpage I made to get those sales.
If you think it is easy to sell to people you already know it isn't. I've had around 25 products and services and NONE of my friends have ever bought into any of them.
I recommend HTMYFD to everyone. You get access to the workshop if you sign up. If not, then the $10 investment is really nothing compared to what chief sumo will share. He really does want people to succeed.
Now I am writing my ebook and when it is finished I'll move on to the next stage of the course and sell to people I don't know.
Best wishes Martin
Hi Louise,
Many thanks for the reply, I really appreciate you taking time out to give me your feedback.
I'll give the $10 sales offer a try an d see how I go, I've brought so much stuff lately that my head is going around in circles.
I piloting my business at the moment and hoping to launch the first week in August, I'm web developer/designer and I've building wanting to set-up by myself for years than I can remember but didn't have the courage or support to do it.
So finger crossed all goes well and I can build successful business and have a legacy to hand over to my son.
Well that's enough of me rambling on, take care and good luck with your business and future product launch.
As seen on
AppSumo promotes great products to help you in your career and life.

The CBJ Assembly may be pitching in with funds for the prosecution of a former Juneau teacher accused of assaulting a teenager at an Oregon football camp.
Assemblymember Randy Wanamaker suggested during Monday night's meeting that they consider covering the travel costs of the victim.
In order to make an informed decision as to what — if anything — we should do, we need the information. I very much apprecriate the fact that people may be contributing. I wasn't aware of it, but I'm gratified to hear it."
Curry County District Attorney Everett Dial said he considered dismissing charges against John Wahl since his office does not have the funds for flying the victim down to a potential trial. But then he decided against filing the dismissal motion.
We've had offers of donations. So, we're looking into that. If we can raise enough money to get him down here, (then) we'll proceed with the case. It'd be the price of airline tickets and then transportation to get him here."
Dial said during an interview with KTOO on November 20 that he had offers by phone and email, but there was no money in hand yet.
Wahl taught sixth-grade math at Floyd Dryden Middle School and was an assistant coach for the Thunder Mountain High School football team. He allegedly knocked a Juneau student unconscious during an impromptu boxing match at a Gold Beach, Oregon football camp in the summer of 2012.
The CBJ Assembly may get a cost estimate back before their next regular meeting. They may also enter into a closed-door executive session with Juneau Police and Law Department officials about the case.

Knoxville, Tenn. - Nick Crowe homered and drove in a career-high five runs as the Tennessee Volunteers defeated the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, 13-4, at Lindsey Nelson Stadium. The win moved head coach Rod Delmonico into sole possession of sixth place on the Southeastern Conference's all-time victory list with 558.
Crowe's three-run blast capped a decisive third inning in which the Vols plated six runs in grabbing an 8-0 lead. He drove in two more in the sixth with a double as Tennessee won its 13th consecutive home game and fourth straight on the season to improve to 8-2. Tech dropped to 0-2.
Brian Cleveland added a pair of hits, including a solo home run in the second, while driving in three. Eric King and Eli Iorg also collected two hits each as the Vols out-hit the Eagles, 11-10.
Ben Riley (1-0), one of seven Vol pitchers on the day, picked up the win after pitching a designated four shutout innings. He struck out four and gave up just two bunt singles.
Eric Brewer (0-1) took the loss in 1 2/3 innings as the five Tech pitchers combined to walk eight batters.
The Golden Eagles got on the board in the sixth on back-to-back RBI singles by Chris Gant and Brandon Selvog. They added two more in the ninth on a two-run single by Brent Bilodeau. Gant and Selvog each had two hits to pace Tech.
Tennessee opens a three-game home stand with the Georgia State Panthers, March 5-7. Game times are 3 p.m, 3 p.m. and 2 p.m. ET.

My first instinct was to say yes, you are crazy, borderline psycho.
I believe that for a first car, you should get him something with 4 cylinders, and preferably something FWD. I think the 00 Si is a great choice, I had one myself a few years ago. This car will be efficient, reliable and more than enough fun. Because it is FWD it will be safer for a 16 year old that has a limited understanding of vehicle dynamics, but a virtually unlimited capacity for rash decisions (you may have a very good kid, but believe me, all 16 year olds, and particularly boys, are stupidity-prone).
HOWEVER, if he insists and you capitulate, I highly encourage you to send him to driving school. And not the $99 ones that put him in a Ford Focus for a day and teach him how to parallel park. Spend at least $1000 on a quality driving school, which will teach him the wonders and responsibilities of rear-wheel drive, and the value of traction control. Perhaps even go with him and make it father-son weekend thing. A nice investment in driving school won't just bring you closer together, it may very well save his (or someone else's) life.

Ok to insulate the top of hollow concrete brick foundation wall?
Looking at my basement at the rim joist area, specifically the top of the foundation wall that is hollow concrete brick, is it ok to cover the top and therefore seal off the openings of the brick with semi permeable rigid foam insulation. I am hoping to provide an air barrier,not a vapor barrier, at this point and slow down the transmission of air laden with water vapor into my basement. Looking at the Building Sciene website they do show pics where the top of the foundation has foam yet it doesn't say if it is hollow or solid concrete foundation wall. My concern is of coarse the plate that sits on the foundation wall and would moisture accumulate on it if I seal off the opening even though it is a permeable material?
Thanks for any input :thumbsup:
By concrete brick, I am assuming you mean hollow concrete block. Your plate should be isolated or protected from any moisture wicking up from the block. The plate should either be treated lumber, depending on the age of the home, or should have a sill sealer between the wood and masonry. Sometimes this was tar paper or a thin closed cell foam sheet. The plate is protected on the outside by the exterior finish of the home which should drop below the level of the plate. Masonry, particularly concrete block, is very porous and will allow moisture to easily pass through it. Adding a rigid foam board on top of the open cores will help to slow any air migration through the cores and into your basement area. It will not stop moisture transmission through the masonry.
Sorry I did mean hollow concrete block. the hosue was built in 1964, ranch home, and there is a capillary break between the plate and block, some type of material, likely the tar paper like you said. I dont intend to stop the transmission of vapor through the block, I know this is impossible, yet the Building Science site said that water vapor carried by air transmission, like a crack or hole has the tendancy to carry more moisture than by means of diffusion like moving through the block. So I thought that by blocking the holes at the top of the wall I may slow the transmission of moisture into my basement by means of the rigid foam acting like an air barrier, not a vapor barrier. I just dont want to do anything to harm the plate.
The BS site also mentions using a mastic material to seal the foam and make an airtight seal. Is this mastic simply a builders caulk like Quad OSI or what are some examples of a mastic?
Sealing off the top of the block surely won't hurt the plate. I think I would use some expanding foam in the cores.

Do today's engineers know plastics?
The nationwide STEM (science technology engineering math) push means the U.S. will eventually be graduating more engineers; but will they know enough about plastics?
That question was posed to me by John Winzeler, president of Winzeler Gear, when I interviewed him for a September magazine feature on workforce development (Winzeler was featured in PT's July On-Site). Winzeler, himself a degreed engineer and third generation manufacturer, lamented the fact that so few programs include plastics on the syllabus.
"Probably 95% of the engineering schools have no plastics in their curriculum," Winzeler said, "yet 50% of every product out there is made of plastics." That fact makes building out a skilled team of employees a very difficult task for companies like Winzeler.
"The whole idea of a technical workforce is an overwhelming challenge today," Winzeler said, "and if you just look at what's going on at school, plastics is getting like zero attention."
Kevin Dailey, human resources director for custom molder and contract manufacturer Mack Molding's Northern Division, also spoke with me for the article, laying out his company's apprenticeship program and general outreach to area schools.
While he didn't address plastics specific training in engineering schools, he did say that new grads show a general technical aptitude, admitting many of the company's interns are "more familiar with [plastics manufacturing] than we thought."
"We get a little bit hung up on what we do," Dailey said. "If you've done it for years you really think it's more involved than it is, but the way the engineering schools in particular are training their students these days; they're up to speed on the latest and greatest software, they have that aptitude, intuitive mindset, where they just pick things up very quickly."
Noel Ginsburg, president and founder of Denver based custom molder and contract manufacturer Intertech Plastics, also spoke with me about the skills gap in industry, a problem his company has aggressively attacked. While I visited, he described how Intertech was dealing with a lack of plastics training in engineering programs.
"The other day that one of our engineering interns asked if he could work here during the school year," Ginsburg said. "The answer was yes, and then our engineering manager said, 'and if when you graduate you'll come to work for us, we'll put you through some plastics specific training.'"
That's one way to make sure future product designers work from a plastics-design-for-manufacturability viewpoint. Trained in plastics or not, we still need more engineers, and only time will tell if STEM is the means to get them.
In a 2010 presentation at the International Conference on Technology Education Research, William Dugger, emeritus professor at Virginia Tech and a senior fellow at the International Technology Education Association, laid out some sobering statistics, noting that just 4 percent of American college graduates in 2003 majored in engineering compared to 13 percent of European students and 20 percent of Asian students.
In the presentation, Dugger quoted Rodger Bybee, former chair of the Science Expert Group for the Programme for International Student Assessment:
"For a society so deeply dependent on technology and engineering, we are largely ignorant about technology and engineering concepts and processes, and we have largely ignored this incongruity in our educational system."
Maybe we're finally catching on.

Very caring and brilliant surgeon
I have been a patient of Dr. Feldstein for many years now. I was initially sent to him because I needed to have a surgery done that is usually done on children and my adult neurosurgeon felt that Dr. Feldstein should be the surgeon that should perform the surgery. I am glad that he did. Dr. Feldstein is a gentle, kind and caring man and a brilliant surgeon. I was a neurosurgical nurse as well as his patient but my husband has no medical experience and he explained everything in a language that he could understand and answered all of our questions to our satisfaction. His surgery skills are superior. I would recomend him as well as take my own children to him if they ever needed neurosurgery.

Wickedweb are the lead digital marketing agency for The Lifehouse spa, and we have had an exciting time working on their website launch and full technical systems integration.
The Lifehouse case study focuses on an interesting challenge: the marriage of brand positioning, technical consultancy and creative execution. There were a range of objectives that needed to be considered as part of the brief spanning functional, business and creative requirements. The solution executed by Wickedweb weaves these together. In addition, The Lifehouse spa was not visible online. At the start of our work there were no keyword listings and little brand awareness beyond their name. Therefore, an SEO strategy was implemented to turn this around.
This has been a successful case study and the results showcase the impact of the website and the SEO strategy. Want to find out more? Read on to discover how we did it…
Stacey Hedges, Marketing Manager at Lifehouse comments:
"Wickedweb have provided us with invaluable support, guidance and creatively in launching the website. The team have been a true extension to the marketing department and play an integral role in the development and evolvement of the site. It's been an absolute pleasure to work with them and we look forward to continue to drive traffic to the site and future developments"

Insights from the Figaro Social Media Conferenceby Sue Akam / 1 Comment(s)
A few of us here at Wickedweb made a beeline for the Figaro Social Media conference last week. We are glad we did – there was a fantastic line up of speakers and some real insight from brands such as the BBC, You Tube, O2, Kodak and Phones 4 U. Social media is ever-evolving, and Wickedweb were keen to discover how these brands are utilising social media – and more importantly what results are being harvested.
What was clear from the conference is that social media strategy is driven by what we know about the customer / prospect. It is very CRM dependant, and insight is best gained by what O2 calls 'the continual conversation'. Regular tweets from a brand are essential and much more effective in building loyalty and confidence than ad-hoc spikes of communication. O2 have a team to manage this continuous conversation with their customers, and find it gives them competitive advantage.
At the core of this is the notion that social media is all about engagement. YouTube makes an interesting point: social media is a fantastic platform for building sparks of excitement for a brand, which ultimately creates and maintains this engagement. Video is ideal for this, especially if the Facebook icon is added to the video so that this excitement can be shared.
However, the question on the audience's lips of course is how do we actually measure engagement via social media? We came to the conclusion that KPI's could include areas such as likes, a change in attitudes, mentions on Google, awareness, continued advocates and bloggers etc. Xbox added to this by talking about 'media stacking': using various social media channels for better cut through and amplification of your message – and Britmums endorsed this by saying that brands should utilise a good variety of social media channels to satisfy different consumption habits. It is good practice to establish your voice on different channels and be proactive, so that as a brand you are ready when a consumer comes searching for you in their preferred way.
But it's not all about the number of 'likes' a brand has. It is far more effective to look beyond the volume and think about what you actually want to do with them. O2 were keen to impart that it is essential that a brand focuses on exactly what they would like social media to achieve at the outset. Phones 4 U look at the actual cost of a 'like' which is interesting and also look to put a value of the 'like' to the business.
Brands can only do so much – although there will be more success capitalising on social media if brands can focus and build on social equity. This is about friends looking out for each other and sharing, rather than putting the actual brand first. There is definitely the feeling that a consumer would like their voice to be heard now that they have been given a platform - and brand love is there for the taking if a company can show they will listen.
In conclusion, social media as a platform gives brands an opportunity to reveal and re-iterate different aspects of their personality. O2 suggested that companies "dip their toe in and try", with an emphasis on managing any consumer issues as quickly as possible.
For me the sentiment of the day came from Kodak – this brand revealed the key to their social media success is to "engage, educate, excite and evangelise"...

Schülke are the international specialists in infection control products, hygiene, disinfection and preservation, and are a long standing client of Wickedweb. The UK website was over - hauled by us a year ago and Wickedweb manage ongoing developments to the site and the digital strategy. One of schülke's key objectives is to maintain their leading position in the market by ensuring the brand engages with its audience in an innovative way.
Following the website re-brand, schülke were keen to enforce this re-positioning, increase traffic to the site and encourage repeat visits. It was also paramount that we worked on raising awareness for the brand. Wickedweb advised creating a members area for the main schülke website as part of the content strategy, in order to bring engagement with the audience to the fore. In addition, a dedicated microsite for the dental portfolio was created to support a key campaign.
Our recommendation also included launching social media activity for the first time, which underpinned their data acquisition objectives. Furthermore, Wickedweb rolled out an SEO strategy.

Basement Finishing Question (insulation)
I have just purchased a new home and it has an unfinished basement. The thing is that they have a combination insulation/vapor barrier arount the entier outer walls of the basement. I have never delt with this stuff before. I would assume you simply bring the wall framing in a bit from the insulation and frame as normal and then insulate the walls as normal too. Is there anything special I need to know about this stuff?
Thank you for the help and advice.
I had a similar situation with my basement where there was wrap around insulation, with vapor barrier over it.
What I did was remove that insulation and frame around the entire basement and then add the batt insulation between the studs and then vapor barrier.
I also at the time was thinking of just putting up furring strips and then drywall, but it was suggested that I would be better off removing it and doing it the right way.
I also moved 3-4 inches away from the block wall. (Sometimes even more due to pipes being there.
Good luck.
New home basement insulation
I have the same type of insulation in my new home. The builder told me to leave the original insulation in place and frame the walls so they barely touch the insultion. He said to put up drywall without additional insulation and vapor barrier. It cuts down the rooom by about 8" to a side. Does that sound right?
You shouldn't remove the insulation in your basement's walls unless you plan to replace it. Even if you're furring out the existing walls with new full-height walls for the finished basement, it is critical that the outer "downwall" gets insulated.
I think I'd go for one vapor barrier only, and I'd want it as close to the conditioned space as possible. The paper vapor barrier face comes off most batt insulation fairly easily.
It won't be the end of the world if you add another vapor barrier. There are pros and cons to doing that, but I don't think it will be a big deal either way.

Developing a public education campaign to increase support for public investments in vulnerable families
America continues to under-invest in programs and strategies, such as child abuse prevention, early child care, and after-school programs, that have proven to be effective in addressing the needs of fragile families. Efforts by child advocates and scholars alone are not enough to help policy-makers and the public recognize the importance of investing in proven programs. The purpose of this project is to increase federal and state policy-makers' awareness of research supporting these investments. Products from this campaign will include national and state-specific reports and fact sheets on research supporting the benefits of public investments aimed at disadvantaged youth and families. This project will be considered successful if the project: (1) increases federal and state policy-makers' awareness of and support for effective efforts that reach America's most vulnerable youth and families; and (2) builds organizational and state capacity to continue its efforts to educate policy-makers.

The Great Comic Book Cover Homage Streak: Week 36
in Comic News Comment
It occurs to me that it seems like many comic book covers are homages. Which is fine with me. I have no problem with it. It just made me think, though, how long could I go before I hit a week where NO new comic book was released that had a cover that was an homage to something? Let's find out! Here is an archive of all the cover homages featured in the streak so far!
This week, we'll go with Arthur Suydam's cover for X-Men #1, which homages the Beatles' Abbey Road.
Thirty-six weeks down! Will we make it to week thirty-seven?

Plasti-Dip: A new way to seal Craft Foam

Plasti-Dip: A new way to seal Craft Foam
Hello everybody! I recently stumbled across a new way to seal craft foam. The story begins...
I was trying to make armor pieces for a costume. I started with the trusted "glue and water" method, which I hate with a passion. After coating my arm and leg guards several times with the mixture, I spray painted them gold. This was my result:
I realized at this point that my armor looked like poop. The craft foam, despite several coats of glue and water, was still absorbing my paint. The difference is very apparent when you look at the hot glue (the detailing, which does not absorb glue) and the foam. I was already upset that I had to partake in the glue-water-everywhere ordeal, so I decided to try a new method.
Another forum discussed Plasti-Dip, a paint that turns to rubber. I hurried over to Menards and bought myself a spray can of the stuff in black for about $6. The can coated all six pieces of my armor twice and, when sprayed closely, leaves little to no texture. After two coats I was left with a flexible, tough outer coating. I was also impressed that I lost minimal amounts of detailing. NOTE: The spray is super stinky. I would advise some open windows (or spraying outside) and maybe a cheap dust mask.
The other forum said that the spray is both a sealer and primer. I coated the armor twice with Rustoleum Metallics in Gold, and let it dry. After it dried, I was left with this.
Wow, that looks better! It is still lightweight, and now looks super shiny. Notice the bumpiness on the right side of the leg guard. I must have sprayed from too far away and created texture. I also coated the armor in Pledge+Future floor wax, which adds shine without dulling the gold paint. The empty spots will soon be filled with jewels gleaned from this necklace, which I recommend for large jewels. v=http://www.ebay.com/itm/321012845493?var=510086303051&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN X:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Anyways, it was only $6 and made my armor so much prettier. It stank and took a little bit longer than glue and water, but the results are awesome!!
I hope this method can be used to speed up your craft foam armor. I noticed nobody ever suggests this for sealing craft foam, so hopefully this method will be embraced soon!

The most important thing Gordon Brown said at Labour's morning press conference, the only one I managed to attend, was that "this election is now wide open".
That's as good as Labour could have hoped for at this stage. It's not a done deal for the Tories – the Lib Dem surge has thrown a large orange spanner into the works.
No wonder the PM looked so cheerful, and even sounded vaguely so. What's he on, eh? I think a stewards' inquiry, and tests on what he's eating, are called for.
The gossip in the hack pack is all about the Tories. What can they do to nobble Nick Clegg without being seen to be doing so because that's so unsporting, so "old politics".
That's sentimental nonsense, of course – but many voters are in a nonsensical and sentimental mood which media and politicians would be wise not to ignore.
You only have to spend a small amount of time out with candidates to remember that the Lib Dems are as crafty as a wagonload of Mandelsons when it comes to putting stones into rival horses' shoes. I first cracked that joke 30 years ago, about the then-Liberal leader, David Steel.
So what should David Cameron do ahead of Thursday's second leaders' debate, the one about foreign policy on Sky?
I'm not sure the Tory camp should attack him too hard over his desire to ditch the Trident renewal programme.
Plenty of sensible Conservative moderates can see there is merit in that. Even I can see it, although personally I would keep those Trident subs chugging around the ocean floor for a while longer, then perhaps buy into a few sea-launched cruise missiles as an insurance policy.
Asked about it during today's presser at the Bloomberg news agency's City HQ, Brown said he was very keen on multilateral disarmament but not on the unilateral variety while other states were trying to become nuclear powers. Not an inspiring answer, but OK.
I would major on Europe if I were the Tories. Young Clegg is a genuine Euro-idealist, mutli-lingual and of rich mixed heritage – Dutch, Russian and (I think) German as well as Brit. Mrs C is a foreigner, too.
More importantly, Clegg backed sterling's entry into the eurozone, a pretty important judgment call which even he can now see is wrong.
What else happened today? Labour faked up a funny, but too long, cod news bulletin as it might look on 25 June – the day after George Osborne's promised emergency budget – complete with hair-raising stats about the loss of public services and jobs which Osborne's unwise commitment to cutting an extra £6bn this year may create.
The Tories are so wrong on this one, as plenty of serious experts point out, that I don't believe they will do it if they win power.
If they win power? Surely – the BBC poll of polls today puts the Tories on 33%, the Lib Dems on 29%, Labour on 28% and others on 10%.
Yes, I have embarked on a small wobble over the "Clegg is the New Churchill" media and polls ramp, but am aware that it could have subsided by the weekend. Clegg could be the next Susan Boyle – a brilliant TV debut followed by disappointment.
Who knows? As Brown said, it's all to play for. Asked whether he would serve with Clegg, under Clegg, or even dare to try and hang on as PM if he came third, Jolly Gordon said he was here to win.
He also poked some small holes in Lib Dem policy, which he said would be hard on child tax credits (copyright G Brown), but not as hard as he, Mandelson and Alistair Darling were, in their different ways, on Tory policy.
The election is warming up. About time, too.

So I got my first CEL yesterday As I was pulling out of the parking lot after work I realized the light was on, so promptly pulled back into the lot and called OnStar. I was given the code U2605, which means the "Battery Energy Control Module Lost Communication with Hybrid/EV Battery Interface Control Module 3." The first technical person I spoke with figured it was just some computer error and suggested that I try powering off the vehicle, waiting a minute, restarting, and then call OnStar back to see if the error code went into the history. I tried that, even going so far as to exit the vehicle while it was powered down for 2-3 minutes, but according to the OnStar folks I talked with the second time the DTC was still active. The funny thing was that when I called OnStar the second time, the level one guys suggested that I take it into the dealer within 5-7 days but the higher level tech guy said to take it in within 24 hours. This seemed a little extreme to me since the car appeared to be working fine otherwise, and the first tech guy I talked with seemed to suggest it would probably go away after 3 trip cycles.
Since the car was working I went ahead and drove home (30 all-EV miles) and arrived without incident, plugging in to charge right away. After a couple of hours I needed to move my car out of the garage even though I didn't have a full charge, so I unplugged, powered on, and moved the car only to find the CEL was still lit. In the morning I went to check out my car and lo and behold the CEL was out. Just as the first tech suggested, three cycles and it went out. We'll see if it comes back, but it appears to have been a non-issue in my case. I should be going in to the dealer in the next week or so for the battery enhancement, so if it happens again I can always alert my dealer at that time.
Since I wasn't able to find too much help on my error code (or the related ones U2603, U2604) on this site I figured I would go ahead and report my non-event here just in case this happens to anyone else.

American firm taps China's huge wedding-planning market
By Sabrina Mao and Terril Yue Jones
BEIJING (Reuters) - As young Chinese become wealthier, there is one area where they are increasingly looking to make a big impression on their families and friends and create lifelong memories for themselves: weddings.
And with Chinese spending some $57 billion a year on weddings and half of young people in this country saying they need help in planning their marriage ceremonies, an American company is looking to capitalize on what it sees as a huge business opportunity here: training Chinese wedding planners.
Weddings Beautiful Worldwide has just set up a joint venture in China to bring its expertise in training wedding planners to this country, where young couples can use help figuring out how to spend the equivalent of thousands of dollars and more to celebrate their nuptials.
"With the fast economic development in China, consumers are choosing more unique and personalized weddings, giving a boost to the wedding industry in China," Raul Vasquez, president of the joint venture, known as Weddings Beautiful China, said in Beijing recently.
Weddings by Ling, the Chinese partner in the venture, is a boutique wedding planning firm catering to high-end Chinese couples, expatriates and Chinese celebrities, and providing online consultation.
It brings a range of established partnerships with flower shops, car rental companies and hotels offering wedding banquets, and other vendors and service providers.
Living in a globally connected world and in a fast-growing economy, young Chinese want not only a traditional, formal Chinese wedding ceremony, but western and modern elements such as walking down the aisle with bridesmaids, ushers, a flower girl and a ring bearer, Vasquez said.
The joint venture plans to groom a new generation of wedding planners through an 18-part training course to become a "certified wedding specialist." -- a career for which there appears to be ample demand. Continued...

Ceiling fixture red wire?????
I took down a big light in my daughters room. One you would see in a kitchen. When I was taking it down I did not pay attention to where the red wire was attached to the previsous fixture.
On the new fixture (small, one bulb fixture) I put the black to black, white to white and the red wire is being a booger. I put the red with the white wires and the fixture would turn on, but if I turned the light switch off, the light would not turn back on and my breaker would go off.
If I put the red wire with the black wires the light would work but the light switch would not turn the light off.
If I don't put the red wire with anything, the light switch will not turn the light off.
Help!!!! Anyone know what I should do? Don't want to burn my house down.
Try the red wire to the black of the fixture, the white to white, and cap off the black. What you have would be typical of wiring for a ceiling fan with the fan controlled by the pull chain and the light by the switch.
Put a wire nut on the black wire, wire black to red, white to white, ground to green or bare and you should be good.:thumbsup:
Thank you. That is exactly what I needed to do.
Thank you so much for your help.
Reason why they did that is because they gave you the option to install a ceiling fan in the room.

You make it sound like you think they are stupid... I'm hoping that's not what you think and I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but just wanted to let you know that's how you are coming across. (at least to me maybe it's just me)Didn't really read the whole thread, but to kind of answer the OP question, we have to take into account that back in the day, the republicans had a pretty solid platform and a great number of americans were in fact republicans, it wasn't till the Reagan era that a shift happened. The reagonomics that favored the rich and slighted the poor is what really started dividing americans as a whole. So much so that a majority of independents are swingers who were once republicans and who abandoned the party because of the shift they didn't agree with, however these same people were also very reluctant to side with democrats, so they stayed in the middle and swung votes. There r however some people who have equated politics with conservatism and moral system. They remain republicans because they have wrongly defined what it meant to be republican. It's no longer a political clutch to them its part of their value system, its a way of life, they can't separate politics from faith, so they blindly vote a certain way because that's how they were raised. Now that the party has gone up in flames, they still can't seem to wake up and walk away because like i said it's their way of life.
But anyway you said that "they can't separate politics from faith" and this one I think you are right for at least some, me included. Here's why... my faith is part of me. It effect EVERYthing about me. I see the world differently because of that. Now I'm not saying that I want to force anyone else to believe the way I do, I don't, not at all. Forcing it would be wrong and my faith says that (see that's a way it effects me).
But here's how it effects how I vote. Abortion: I see life as a gift, not a burden and I see the unborn child as someone who needs protection, just like any other group of people who can't protect themselves. My faith is what makes me see it this way. So I think that child needs to be protected and that it's life has as much value as any other innocent person. Does this mean that it's the only issue I think about when casting my vote, absolutely not! And I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone on either side of the abortion debate that makes it the only issue.
Another example... Marriage... I see marriage as sacred. Now I'm not opposed to civil unions. Also I don't think it's for the Federal Government to decide. I think this is a state's right's issue.
Also I know of a lot pf people that were poor and while they may not be rich (remember money won't make you happy, and I can totally say that cuz I've had NONE before) they have done for themselves, used what help they actually needed and improved their lives. My husband is one example. He didn't do as well as he could have in HS and his parents couldn't afford to send him to college without him getting a bunch of loans. He was good with computers and knew that he could make a descent living with them if he could get trained. So he joined the Navy. He put in his 4 years and came out knowing a lot about computers because he worked hard at it. He saw countless guys that just did what they had to, didn't volunteer to help when there was a problem with a system. He's also seen guys that have come out and could have had the same knowledge that he did and they also didn't apply themselves and so they weren't able to do the job.
He's applied himself over and over to learn new things with computers and is always reading about what's the newest thing. And he's one of the best network guys a company could ever higher. He's gotten several certs and these are not easy to get, he's study hard for them.
Also when the dot com bubble burst he lost his job. He was out of work for several months and we had to sell our house as we couldn't afford it on what we then had coming in. We moved in with my mom for a few months, that didn't work out well, at all. So we bought (with all that we had from our house) a single wide trailer in a trailer park. We paid cash for it and it was not in good condition at all. It didn't even have central heat, we used a Karo heater, which meant that one of use had to get up in the middle of the night to refill it. It meant that the house was cold when we got home. We could have gotten government help I'm sure, but we didn't, why? We were making it on our own. We ate a lot of beans and rice meals. I got our grocery bill lower than anyone else I knew in our area. We also decided that we would no longer buy a car unless we could pay cash. Is that easy? No way, we've had to go down to one vehicle many times (in fact the only reason we aren't now is that his parents are moving up here soon and have left their truck here to making moving easier for them). With our tax return we will buy a car for him. One we can afford to pay cash for. Like I said this isn't easy. And we have sacrificed over and over. I've seen my friends not doing that, buying a new car every few years and buying a house that's at the top of their budget. And with all the HUGE houses that are all over America I think that this is happening more and more, and it's this idea that I have to buy the biggest house I can afford that's caused a lot of the problems that we have in this country.
Have we had help? Yes, other than his training in the Navy (which I think everyone would say he completely paid for by serving) it hasn't been from the government. We have been lucky that we could get help from family when needed. Now that hasn't been very often. For example when he was in the Navy I worked at Papa John as Asst. Man. we only had one car, a beat up old truck, it was an 88 dodge. When something broke on it we fixed it. Sometimes we needed help paying for the part, but we (yes I mean we, I did as much work on that truck as he did) fixed it. The same with our houses, when something breaks, we fix it. We do pay to get car repairs done now but that's because we can afford to. If something happened and we couldn't anymore then we could fix it ourselves.
Now I know we were lucky to be able to have family to help and not everyone has that. And I think that's where charities need to help, not the government. Let me ask you guys this, welfare as we know it was started in the 60's. So it's had 40 years for us to see if it's helped... has it? And I'm really asking here. Some have said that the poor stay poor. Why? Ben Franklin said "I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it." Sounds kinda harsh huh? Well I'm telling that my life when my husband was putting his time in and when and after he lost his job and had to take one for less than half of what he was making before was harsh.
Life is hard. And trying to make it not hard is just setting someone up to fail. And that's why I'm against the government running all the programs that they do. The government doesn't help the poor not be poor, it helps them stay that way.
And I have also seen it abused, over and over. I have seen people on welfare with cell phones and designer jeans and hundred sneakers. I'm sorry but if you are on welfare you shouldn't be buying any of those and if someone else is buying them for you, maybe that person should help you to get off of welfare.
We've gone without so that we could have a future and I don't think it's too much to think that others should do the same.

In situations that can make a cat lash out, knowing what to expect, and how to respond, might save you a trip to the doctor.
●Redirected aggression. Your cat is in a fight, or he's upset because he can see another cat invading his yard. In such cases, do not touch your cat. He's likely to go after you.
"They can stay aroused for a long time," said Nancy Peterson, cat programs manager for the Humane Society of the United States. "I would avoid contact with the cat unless the cat seeks contact with you."
To break up a fight, the best thing to do is distract the cats, giving them a chance to break off the encounter. Spraying water at the aggressor often works. Other options, Peterson said, include clapping your hands loudly or, if the fight is happening indoors, dropping a pillow on the floor next to the cats. Sometimes shaking a bag of treats or opening a can of food is enough distraction.
As a last resort, you can toss a very thick blanket over one of the cats to protect him from the other, but do this only if you can keep your hands out of harm's way.
●Play aggression. Your cat bites and scratches while play wrestling with you. This is a sign that the cat is not getting enough play time, and enough play of the right sort.
"Cats who like play and do not get enough play — they create their own games," Peterson said. "They're hunters. They need to do things."
Cats, especially young ones, need some structured play every day. Kittens need play twice a day for 10 or 15 minutes; for older cats, it depends on their energy levels.
People should never play in a way that puts hands near claws and teeth, even if those little nips seem cute coming from a kitten. Use a wand or other toy. If your cat does bite during play, yell "ouch" and walk away. He'll learn that biting ends the fun.
Shouting at him or punishing him will only make him scared and more likely to act out.
●Overstimulation. You're petting your cat when he grabs your hand with his mouth. It means he's getting too worked up. "Animals have different tolerances for being petted," Peterson said. Look for signs, such as a twitching tail and ears that have been folded back.
Stop immediately. Don't try to shove him off your lap. Stand up to dump him, walk away and leave him alone for a while.
Unlike dogs, most cats do not like to have their tummies scratched, so, in general, stay away.
●Fear aggression. Never corner a cat. Look for signals he's giving you: hissing, spitting, growling, crouching, ears flattening. Even rolling on his side can be a sign that he's defensive. "You need to back away. Just get out of his face," Peterson said.
●Status-related aggression. You move your cat off the kitchen counter and he swats you. "He's trying to assert himself," Peterson said.
Try passive means to discourage the behavior, such as leaving pans of water on the counter so it's not a fun place to sit anymore. You also can try creating an alternative, such as giving him a high perch near the counter so that he can be with you but stay out of the way.
●Finally, if a cat begins showing routine signs of unprovoked aggression, he should be taken to a veterinarian, Peterson said. A wide range of health problems, from neurological issues to painful arthritis, can cause bad behavior.

|USS Wabash at Port Royal
The first target was Fernandina, an important town on Amelia Island in the very northeastern corner of the state. Commodore S.F. Dupont put together such a large fleet for the expedition that he left very little to chance:
...I sailed from Port Royal on the last day of February, in the Wabash.... The fleet comprised the following vessels, sailing int he order in which they are named: Ottaway, Mohican, accompanied by the Ellen, Seminole, Pawnee, Pocahontas, Flag, Florida, James Adger, Bienville, Alabama, Keystone State, Seneca, Huron, Pembina, Isaac Smith, Penguin, Polomska, the armed cutter Henrietta, the armed transport McClellan, the latter having on board the battalion of marines, under the command of Major REYNOLDS, and the transports Empire City, Marion, Star of the South, Belvidere, Boston, and George's Creek, containing a brigade under the command of Brig. -Gen. WRIGHT. - Commodore S.F. Dupont, Commanding South Atlantic Blockading Squadron, March 4, 1862.
|Civil War drawing of Fernandina
Also accompanying the expedition was a correspondent of The New York Times. He described the departure of the ships from Port Royal in South Carolina in a letter dated Fernandina on March 5, 1862 and published in the newspaper ten days later:
..The transports, each one towing a schooner carrying camp equipage and Quartermaster's stores, were piloted over the bar by Capt. PHILLIPS, of the Marion, and in one hour we were in the midst of a cluster of lights which indicated a large fleet. - Unidentified Correspondent, The New York Times, March 15, 1862.
I will continue to post on the 150th anniversary of the expedition to Fernandina over coming days, so be sure to check back often!

Adele Says Her New Album is Still in the Early Stages
February 11, 2013 | Posted by
Adele spoke last night at the Grammy Awards about her new album, saying she still has a ways to go. The pop star told reporters (via Billboard) that she will be working with Paul Epworth, who co-wrote and produced several tracks off of 21 including "Rolling in the Deep," but that motherhood has kept her busy.
"I'm not very far along at all," she said. "I'm having lots of meetings. I've been in L.A. for the whole time since the (Golden) Globes, and I will be until the Oscars. I've been having lots of meetings. I've been out of the loop really. I've been singing my baby nursery rhymes, so I don't really know what's cool and what's not. I'm definitely going to visit Paul Epworth and stuff like that again."

simplify the expression by combining like terms
r + 2s + 3r
Well since both the 'r's are like terms, you'd combine them, and don't forget that there is a 1 in front of each variable, so you'd add 3 + 4 and have 4r.
OH sorry typo!
3 +1 and you'd have 4r! sorry!
How do you combine the r's?
Nicole, Thanks but I do not understand
how do you combine the r's?
you would combine the r's just by adding them together, because they are the same variable. The first r in the equation doesn't have a number with it, right? So since it isn't attatched to a number, pretend that there is an invisible 1 in front of it. So when you add the two r's together then you get 4r right? So pretend instead that the equation reads:
1r + 2s + 3r
4r + 2s
exactly =)

Julie FerwerdaJulie Ferwerda's Blog
- 2009 Feb 22
I don't know about you, but all this talk about contagious skin diseases is making me itch. ☺
6:2 The next Sabbath he began teaching in the synagogue... Notice that Jesus observed the Sabbath! If He did away with it, He would not have kept it.
39:4-5, 7 Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered-how fleeting my life is. You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath." And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you. Once again, we must always remember on the good days and the bad days of life: THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME (TWINMH). That thought recounted often will get you through this life with a sense of hope & expectation!
Questions for reflection:
Do you find yourself getting caught up in the here and now, forgetting that something better and more lasting is coming? How would the thought, "TWINMH" change the way you live each day in the following areas:
The way you handle problems?
The way you invest in relationships?
The way you cope with loss?
The way you deal with stress?
The way you prioritize your day?
The way you resist temptation?
The importance you place on the things of this world?
