Two suspected gang members are sought in a Sunday night stabbing.
By SALVADOR HERNANDEZ / THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER
COSTA MESA – Police are searching for two men who were involved in the stabbing of two brothers Sunday night.
The two men are believed by Costa Mesa police to be gang members in their 20s..
The two victims, described as being 18 and 24 years old, are not gang members, police said in a statement.
The attack at 1760 Pomona Ave. was reported at 11:40 p.m., said Sgt. Clint Dieball.
Before officers arrived, family and friends had taken the two victims to Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian.
According to the police statement, two men approached the brothers and asked them what gang or neighborhood they were from. The brothers were then attacked with a large knife.
The 24-year-old victim was treated for a stab wound near his hip. The 18-year-old man was taken from Hoag to Western Medical Center in Santa Ana with life-threatening injuries, including a "severe wound near his neck," according to the statement. He was listed in stable condition Monday evening.
The attack is still under investigation.

As you make your way through Borough Market, one of the largest food markets in London, your senses are overwhelmed. The smell of freshly prepared foods combined with the brightly colored flowers, fruits, and vegetables remind you of the languages you are trying to distinguish around you. You learned in your Global Cities course that over 300 languages are spoken in London, and you are on a personal mission to identify them all. A roar from a nearby pub interrupts you – the local football team has scored! You linger in the district of Southwark a while longer before meeting up with a group of students at a MyEducation activity at the mosque on Brick Lane, the heart of the city's Bangladeshi community. Over the course of 3 centuries, this structure has been a Protestant chapel, a Jewish synagogue, and now a Muslim mosque. Your service learning program has made you truly connected to the city, and you welcome opportunities like this to supplement your textbook understanding of London with experiential learning. Tonight, you'll be attending a performance of Shakespeare's Richard III at the Globe Theater. This is what studying in London is all about: allowing the experiences to rush in.
Regardless of your major, our academic courses keep you on track while you soak up regional history and culture. Our semester, spring quarter, and summer study abroad options include courses with local visits, internships and service-learning, and special lectures related to your study abroad experience: all designed to engage you in critical thinking and challenge you to pursue subjects through academic and field research. In addition to courses on the CAPA London Program, you will be able to access an array of courses at London South Bank University (LSBU), including a special STEM program in the spring with a focus on engineering and technology. |
A message from Claire Kibblewhite, Resident Director, CAPA London Program
Dear Students,
Showcased at the 2012 Summer Olympics, London is a world class city and it is no surprise that each year more international students choose the UK capital city over any other city as their home from home. As well as unrivalled professional opportunities, London offers students an exciting social life and the opportunity to build a network of friends from around the world.
With so much to offer so many people, it can be hard to articulate its enormity and significance. The best and only way to truly understand the layers of complexity that envelop and permeate London is to experience it for yourself!
What you will find is that London is one of the most vibrant, exciting, culturally rich and cosmopolitan cities in the world. So much so, that the idea of the 'typical Londoner' is becoming almost impossible to grasp. With more than 270 nationalities living here, London is one of the most multi-cultural cities in the world. You can enjoy cuisine from pretty much any corner of the globe – often on the same street – as well as take part in annual international celebrations such as Diwali and Chinese New Year.
Nowadays, Londoners largely define themselves by being undefinable. No matter where you are in the city, you will come across people from all walks of life. There is an extraordinary range of different lifestyles, faiths and ethnic groups represented in the city, and as you walk the streets, you will realize that being 'a Londoner' means many different things. This diversity is one of modern London's most appealing features and is something to be embraced and celebrated.
Make no mistake, London is a complex city. With so many different and distinct neighborhoods, a sophisticated public transit infrastructure, an abundance of cultural opportunities, not to mention its overall geographical vastness, financial prominence and incredible worldwide influence, London stands alone amongst the world's global cities.
London is NOT a city to be 'checked off' a list. It is not a city which you can "do" in a day, a week a fortnight, a month or even a semester. Many would argue that you can never truly "know" London - even true Londoners like myself continue enchanted by everything the city has to offer.
London will delight. It will please and infuriate, it will fascinate and exhilarate. It will satisfy you, yet leave you yearning for more. There are few cities which can stir the heart and stimulate the mind in the way London can. Through its harmonious blend of history and modernity, its bustling shopping streets, world famous cultural and architectural landmarks, its extraordinarily diverse population and its enviable position on the brink of continental Europe, London is unparalleled in so many ways.
The CAPA London Program is a wonderful opportunity to take advantage of this truly remarkable global city. Whilst studying with CAPA, you will be expected to "become a Londoner." Rather than being on the outside looking in, the CAPA London team actively encourages students to engage with the local culture and form connections with London in ways that tourists cannot do. The MyEducation initiative is probably the single greatest component of the CAPA London experience. It encourages students to analyse and explore London through the wide selection of suggested activities, events, lectures and self-directed tours. Students are able to attain an understanding of how real Londoners think and feel and open themselves up to a more enriching experience by taking full advantage of MyEducation.
A distinctive feature of the exciting and engaging academic life at CAPA London is the learning that takes place outside of the classroom. Courses such as Analyzing and Exploring the Global City; Islam, Politics & Britain; and Post-War British Popular Culture take students to various locations around the city to compliment and reinforce the learning that takes place inside the classroom. By having the opportunity to engage with the city in this way, students are empowered to develop their analytical skills.
As if this wasn't reason enough to come and study here, CAPA is also one of the largest internship providers in London, offering internship placements in any field. From aviation to zoology and everything in between, students are able to take advantage of incredible and unique internship and service-learning opportunities, gaining invaluable professional experience whilst engaging with locals.
The CAPA London team recognizes that a city as diverse as London attracts a very diverse range of students. We care greatly about the experience of each student and will fully support you in pursuit of your personal, professional and academic goals.
We look forward to seeing and getting to know you soon.
Claire Kibblewhite
Resident Director, London

Courses at London South Bank University (LSBU)
During the fall semester, students on the CAPA London Program can take up to two courses at London South Bank University (LSBU) in lieu of taking courses at CAPA. Course offerings include, but are not limited to Cultural Identities, Business Environment, Issues in Contemporary Sociology, and Media & Cultural Contexts.
During the spring semester, students can participate in a special Science and Engineering program. This semester will involve taking 2-4 courses at LSBU with the option of taking CAPA's Global Cities course. Students will also do a 3 or 6 credit internship in their field.
Similar to other CAPA London courses, students opting to take an LSBU course will receive credit from the University of Minnesota. There options are ideal for serious students interested in experiencing the British university system. LSBU is a well-known Central London university approximately 45 minutes away from the CAPA London Study Center via tube.

Students studying on the CAPA London Program during the fall semester have the option of augmenting their studies with classes at a British university.
During the fall semester, students on the CAPA London Program can take up to two courses at London South Bank University (LSBU) in lieu of taking courses at CAPA. This option is ideal for serious students interested in experiencing the British university system. LSBU is a well-known Central London university approximately 45 minutes away from the CAPA London Study Center via tube. Course offerings include, but are not limited to Cultural Identities, Business Environment, Issues in Contemporary Sociology, and Media & Cultural Contexts. Courses generally meet once a week.
Interested students should be aware that the British academic system differs from the US. Students generally find the grading system to be different, and the LSBU professors will expect students to undertake a good deal of independent study to complete their classes. To help prepare for the differences between the UK and US university systems, CAPA students taking LSBU courses will attend a special orientation before classes start.
LSBU's fall classes run from late September until the middle of December, and exams are held in January. Most CAPA/LSBU courses will have final papers, but they may not be due until January. If a class has an exam component, students may need to take the exam once they return to their home campus. LSBU's International Officer will help students make arrangements to complete their courses as necessary. Because of the academic calendar, grades for fall courses will be sent out in February. As with other CAPA courses, the University of Minnesota will grant credit.
LSBU courses begin two weeks after CAPA courses. Therefore, students who register and decide to drop courses will need to enroll in another class at LSBU since CAPA's add/drop period will be over. LSBU does not have a fall break, and students will not be excused from missing class during the CAPA break week. LSBU classes are scheduled Monday to Friday, and most meet once a week.
To take a class at LSBU, students need a minimum 2.75 GPA. Some classes have additional pre-requisites and details are available with each course description below.

Internships in London
Students studying in London can take advantage of CAPA's extensive network of internship sites, offering internship placements for any major. To learn about specific placements for your major, call a CAPA Student Admissions Counselor at 1-800-793-0334.
Internships are available in businesses of every kind, as well as non-profit and nongovernmental organizations. Our local staff visit each CAPA internship site, many of which are frequent recipients of CAPA interns. You are placed in sites within commuting distance of the center that best meet your individual interests, abilities, and academic background.
Starting an internship abroad with CAPA
Taking the first steps along the road to London could not be easier; you are simply required to complete an "Experiential Learning Application Form." Within this application we will ask for your selected Internship placement interests, for some supporting documents (Resume, Cover Letter, etc.) and pose some general questions to gain a better understanding of you as an individual. Guidance and direction throughout this process is readily available from CAPA 's professional and friendly staff.
Once CAPA's Internship staff members receive your application, we will begin the "Placement Phase." Staff will review your application in great detail to understand your aspirations, abilities and experiences to date. We will identify existing and new internship sites that will provide you with a personalised, meaningful and appropriate internship experience in London.
Prior to your arrival in to London, the internship team will provide you with a "Position Description" outlining the potential internship placement we have identified. This document will give you an insight in to the selected organisation, tasks and responsibilities and the many benefits you will receive from the internship experience.
Upon arrival in to London,you will participate in an interactive seminar to prepare you for your internship experience. Group orientation exercises are used to examine issues of culture and integration, and focused individual sessions examine site-specific information. All internships are contingent upon a successful interview with the internship-host organization, which will take place right after your arrival and orientation. A seminar on interview techniques is presented prior to the interview.
Internship students participate in a seminar series entitled Learning through Internships. Faculty act as internship mentors to ensure that you have academic guidance during your internships. You will write papers and reflective journals, and make oral presentations examining the real learning that occurs during your program. You will produce a portfolio at the end of the internship that must meet clear academic criteria in order for you to attain credit for the internship.
CAPA internships provide lasting results
You are monitored throughout your internships to ensure that you are receiving appropriate training and guidance. At the end of each session, you will evaluate your experience. These evaluations are shared with your home campus. Participating in the London internship program will allow you to grow professionally and personally. So why wait? Take the first step of your journey towards one of the most diverse and exciting global cities in the world and start your application for the CAPA London Program today.
Service-Learning in London
Students studying at the CAPA London Study Center during the fall and spring semester have the opportunity to enroll in a six-credit course, Contemporary Issues through Service-Learning: The Social Dynamics of London, that includes 12-15 hours of service-learning each week. The course, with a sociological focus, will look at urban issues facing Londoners including multiculturalism, inequalities in social services ranging from education to healthcare, and welfare concerns. The course is coupled with group projects at community service organizations throughout London.
Community-Based Service Experience and CAPA
Service-learning allows students studying abroad the opportunity to work on a project during the semester that benefits the community while developing an understanding of community issues. Unlike an internship, which builds on professional skills for future career growth, the main focus of a community-based experience is to fulfill the needs of the community. CAPA has developed its community-based program to give students the opportunity to engage with the community while having time in the classroom each week to reflect on their experience. Each week students will have a three-hour seminar that looks at a variety of urban and community issues. They will also work in groups of 2-4 students at their assigned community center on a semester-long project.
What is MyEducation?
MyEducation offers intentionally defined pathways through the city: means of engaging with the urban environment in ways that are relevant to your studies and interests. The intention is to empower you to make specific connections between classroom theory and the outside world.
CAPA developed the MyEducation program to help you select cultural experiences that are relevant to your academic courses and personal learning goals abroad. Events, activities, and reflective sessions are identified and designed around significant themes such as Community and People, Government and Power, Landscape and Time, Diversity and Identity, and Arts and Culture. Participation in these activities will give you an intelligent, well-rounded, and in-depth perspective on the global city where you are studying.
You will have the opportunity to choose from a range of activities with varying styles of presentation. This allows you to pick a session that speaks to you and your way of learning.
Some examples of MyEducation sessions offered in the past few months in London include:
- Walking Tour and Curry in Brick Lane, London
- Volunteering at a soup kitchen at the American Church of London
- Tour of BBC Broadcasting House
- Attending the Ceremony of the Keys at the Tower of London
- This style of learning is a unique and valuable opportunity to make the most out of your time studying in another country.
How does it work?
Each CAPA staff presents a MyEducation Calendar to all students and faculty. The MyEducation calendar is designed for you by local staff and faculty to bring theory to life and offers a unique and valuable opportunity to make the most out of your time studying in another country.
MyEducation activities are either staff-led or self-directed. Every week, one item will be selected as the MyEducation Event of the Week, and further information will be given on this highlighted event in hand-outs and in a weekly email, delivered directly to your inbox!
Some CAPA professors integrate MyEducation activities into their courses and assessment, so that you may have an opportunity to reflect upon, write about, and present your experiences. My Education is also an excellent mechanism to develop areas of interest that may be extended into an application for the CAPA Record of Achievement.
CAPA delivers academic excellence along with a complete cultural experience at an affordable price. The CAPA London Program includes the following:
Semester programs earn 12 to 18 credits (maximum of 6 credits for an internship); Summer session earns 6 credits (maximum of 3 credits for an internship). Students on the quarter program will generally receive 12-13 semester credits (4 credits for the internship and 3 credits per course). Credit for all programs is issued by the University of Minnesota, our School of Record in London. Please note that the Spring STEM Program carries additional fees.
Experiential Learning (Internships and Service-Learning)
Optional 3 to 6 credit-hour internships are available for all students in any major field of study at no additional cost. During the fall and spring semesters, students have the optional to participate in a 6 credit-hour service-learning course that includes 12-15 hours per week of field experience.
Housing and Meals
Students on semester and summer programs live within commuting distance of the CAPA London Center in homestays or shared apartments. Students on the spring quarter program will live in shared studio residences or homestays.
Local Transportation

Academic Management | ||
Dr. Kristin Dean | ||
Dr. Anthony Gristwood Principal Lecturer As Principal Lecturer, I am a member of the Academic Management Team in London. I am involved in the design and delivery of the academic curriculum, especially field studies and service-learning, and work with our Academic Directors and Faculty on CAPA's Global Cities courses worldwide. I also co-ordinate and teach Analyzing and Exploring the Global City: London, and Contemporary Issues Through Service-Learning here in London. I received an MA, PGCE and Ph.D. in Geography from the University of Cambridge; my teaching and research interests include contemporary urban studies, especially London and other global cities, as well as politics, identity and culture in modern Europe, particularly Spain, where I did much of my PhD research. I've worked in the field of international education for more than twelve years, most recently here at CAPA since 2009. I was born and raised in Brighton, at the British seaside. Now I am a Londoner, I continue to be fascinated by this rapidly-changing, cosmopolitan city and enjoy sharing my enthusiasms with students! | ||
Amy Connolly Academic Coordinator As Academic Coordinator, my role at CAPA is to provide academic support to students and faculty. I am also in charge of all the fun events that make up My Education. I was born and raised in Liverpool (home of The Beatles) which is in the North of England. I wanted to experience the arts scene of London so I moved here in January 2012 and found a home at CAPA! I enjoy working with students, helping them discover London and relating it to their studies. Before CAPA, I completed my MA in Fine Art at the University of Central Lancashire and have worked in arts administration and as a photographer. I absolutely love exploring London; my favourite past time is finding the weirdest and strangest museums and art exhibitions – and I've found some good ones! | ||
Student Affairs and Program Services | ||
Claire Kibblewhite Resident Director I have recently joined CAPA as the Resident Director for London... though I was involved with CAPA in its inception 20 years ago! During this long hiatus from CAPA, I took time off to raise my three children and returned to study abroad in London 10+ years ago, finally rejoining CAPA in November 2012. I am so excited to get to know the students, visiting faculty and colleagues at CAPA London, and share my knowledge and experience with them. I love to see how students grow and change during their time abroad, and to be a part of that evolution however I can. As a native Londoner, I believe that London offers cultural immersion at different levels, from the top ten 'must see' tourist spots to the hidden gems that provide no less of an education. | ||
Katie Behringer Student Affairs Advisor As the Student Affairs Advisor, I work closely with all students to help support them during their time in London. I love working with students because I understand how scary and exciting it is to fly half-way around the world and explore new foreign places. I first studied abroad in Ireland as a sophomore at Michigan State University; I fell so in love with travelling that I moved back overseas as soon as I could! I first moved to England in 2008 and since then have completed a MA degree in English Literature from the University of Nottingham. I've travelled to over 30 countries throughout Asia, Africa, and all over Europe! I love sharing all of my European travel hints and favorite secret locations in London with students; my biggest hope is that students push their boundaries and try their best to become Londoners themselves while they're living here! | ||
Meghan Lobdell Program Services Coordinator As Program Services Coordinator, I arrange all program inclusions and ensure that our students and visiting faculty get the full "CAPA experience" from the time they step off the plane in London. Originally from Connecticut, I earned my Bachelor's degree in English, History and Journalism from the University of Delaware, and after a few years working for an international charity, took a "hiatus" to backpack through Southeast Asia, Australia, New Zealand and Fiji. I moved to the UK and completed my MA degree in Culture Studies & Media at King's College London, before joining the CAPA team in 2010. I am a life-long dancer, enjoy movies, books and theatre, and also love bikram yoga and running. While most CAPA staff live in Southwest London, I have always lived in a "NW postcode", so enjoy showing our students a different part of town - particularly taking them to the top of beautiful Primrose Hill and through the "artsy chaos" of the Camden Markets, or exploring the literary history of Hampstead and getting lost in the rustic paths of the Heath! | ||
Sebastian Tull Student and Program Services Coordinator I am a Student and Program Services Coordinator. I grew up in East Sussex, in a town fairly close to Brighton (a city I highly recommend exploring, after London of course!). I then studied Business with Marketing at the University of Hertfordshire and during my degree I went on an exchange year in Melbourne, Australia. I loved the experience so much, that I have developed a real passion for working in student exchange and international education, due to the amazing experiences and personal development it provides for students. As well as being an avid traveler, I have been playing drums, bass guitar and electric guitar in various bands since I was 12 and I regularly gig in London. I am also very interested in art and visit the Tate Modern regularly. I am also very fond of the Museum of Modern Art and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. | ||
Ryne Cender Student Affairs Assistant As Student Affairs Assistant, I am the first point of contact for visitors to the CAPA London Center, and spend much of my time helping students and visiting faculty get to know London. Recently, I graduated from Grant MacEwan University in my hometown of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, with a Bachelor of Commerce (International Business). Having studied with CAPA as a student in the autumn of 2010, I love to share my passion for learning and exploring London with the students. I particularly love going out to different venues to see a variety of styles of music. I've seen shows ranging from full orchestras using falling water as an instrument in historic concert halls to spoken word poets in rhyming about the periodic tables in dingy pubs to Jazz DJs on a Sunday afternoon with folks twice my age dancing like teenagers at a rave. | ||
Elaine Foley Student Affairs Assistant As Student Affairs Assistant, I am the first point of contact for visitors to the CAPA London Center. I'm an Ex-CAPA student from Pittsburgh and current MFA graduate student at Laban, and I've been living in London since 2011. Along with working as a dance artist, Yoga instructor, and dance science advocate in the UK, I write for electronic music-based companies in both Portland and NYC. I love to talk about travel, performance art, music and most of all - living in London and retaining my love for the 'Burgh. | ||
Sally Harrild Student Affairs Assistant I'm very excited to be joining CAPA as a Student Affairs Assistant, helping students settle into London life. I am a lifelong North Londoner and have only really left the city for my undergraduate degree in Southampton and then to teach English in Japan for two years. I think I left a little bit of my heart in the land of the rising sun, but London will always be my true home. I feel like I'm at the centre of the universe when I'm wandering the city, eating fantastic food from around the world and popping into galleries and museums along the way! I have a geeky fascination with the history of the London Underground, and also love modern literature, which I'm studying a master's in at UCL. I can't wait to share my passion for the most exhilarating city in the world! | ||
Internships and Service Learning | ||
Craig Kench Director of International Internships I joined CAPA over a year ago as Director of International Internships. Originally from Gibraltar, I was raised in England and then spent ten years studying and working in the US. In my past life, I was a professional footballer (that's soccer to you Americans!) in the US; whilst living there, I also got my MA degree in Education. Giving students the opportunity to excel through their CAPA study abroad experience is a wonderful feeling. To see each individual grow in confidence, uncover new abilities and become a more global citizen is truly rewarding. | ||
Emily Davies London Internships Placement Manager I work in the internships team at CAPA London and relish the challenge of seeking out new opportunities for our students, trying to match up each individual with an opportunity that helps them to develop their professional skills and experiences and attain the goals they hope to achieve during their time here. I also love that it gives me the chance to make contacts across so many different industries and be a bit nosy about where other people work! I studied American Studies at the University of Nottingham, during which time I spent one year enrolled at SUNY Albany and spent my weekends discovering the delights of the East coast of America. After graduating, I lived and worked in various cities around the UK until London's bright lights could no longer be resisted and I moved here in 2009. When I'm not at the office I play music, and my favourite place to play is just down the road at a small club called The Troubadour, whose stage played host to the likes of Bob Dylan, The Beatles and even Jimi Hendrix back in the 70's! | ||
Anna Shoemaker Internships Coordinator I am an Internships Coordinator at the CAPA London Center. I am originally from Buffalo, New York where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University at Buffalo. I spent my last semester studying in London with CAPA and working as a theater intern. I then completed my MA degree in Arts Administration and Cultural Policy at Goldsmiths College in London. My experiences studying and working in London were truly life changing and I love being able to facilitate similar experiences for our students. I'm always discovering new things I love about London. One of my favourite things to do in London is explore the different markets. Borough Market and the lesser known Maltby Street Market are two favourites of mine. I also love the amount of Theatre and live music London has to offer. | ||
Marion Aller I am an Internship Coordinator at CAPA London. I am originally from France where I studied Psychology and Management and later worked as Employment Advisor and Recruiter. I have been living in London since 2011 and have experience working for an organisation that facilitates internship placements for European students. I love being able to help students taking their first steps in the professional world, and being there for guidance if they need any. At the moment I couldn't imagine myself living anywhere else than London. This city has too many things to offer and to discover! I consider myself very lucky to be in this beautiful city, and I hope all CAPA students gets to share that feeling during their study abroad program. One of my favourite things to do here in London is to walk alongside the Southbank or visit the Columbia Road market and Brick Lane on a Sunday afternoon. I also enjoy going to arts exhibitions, theatre, and I am a big cinema fan! |

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge
With the glittering Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge enjoys a privileged position at the heart of the world famous national park. Looking out over the golden savannah plains with uninterrupted views of Africa's highest mountain, Amboseli is secluded within a grove of Acacia trees and close to a series of emerald green swamps. The melting snows of Kilimanjaro feed into these swamps and are the only sources of water resulting in huge numbers of wallowing elephants, hippos, buffalos and game.
The room was extremely comfortable and the food and service in the bars and restaurants were fantastic, drinks are reasonably priced too. Loved chatting to the onsite Masai who were very friendly and informative. The night time camp fire is lovely and the staff are all very friendly. Perfect location with views of Kilamanjaro and the plain. A fantastic lodge

LA HAGUE, on France's Normandy coast, hosts a large complex that reprocesses spent fuel from nuclear power plants, extracting its plutonium for fabrication into new fuel. The U.S. Department of Energy has recently proposed building a similar facility.
Image: Martin Bond: Photo Researchers, Inc.
In Brief
- Spent nuclear fuel contains plutonium, which can be extracted and used in new fuel.
- To reduce the amount of long-lived radioactive waste, the U.S. Department of Energy has proposed reprocessing spent fuel in this way and then "burning" the plutonium in special reactors.
- But reprocessing is very expensive. Also, spent fuel emits lethal radiation, whereas separated plutonium can be handled easily. So reprocessing invites the possibility that terrorists might steal plutonium and construct an atom bomb.
- The author argues against reprocessing and for storing the waste in casks until an underground repository is ready.

A Nuclear Power Renaissance?
Nuclear Waste: A Growing Problem
Fuel Handing Options
Major Danger: Mass Destruction for the Masses
Waste Storage Solutions: Dry Casks
Although a dozen years have elapsed since any new nuclear power reactor has come online in the U.S., there are now stirrings of a nuclear renaissance. The incentives are certainly in place: the costs of natural gas and oil have skyrocketed; the public increasingly objects to the greenhouse gas emissions from burning fossil fuels; and the federal government has offered up to $8 billion in subsidies and insurance against delays in licensing (with new laws to streamline the process) and $18.5 billion in loan guarantees. What more could the moribund nuclear power industry possibly want?
Just one thing: a place to ship its used reactor fuel. Indeed, the lack of a disposal site remains a dark cloud hanging over the entire enterprise. The projected opening of a federal waste storage repository in Yucca Mountain in Nevada (now anticipated for 2017 at the earliest) has already slipped by two decades, and the cooling pools holding spent fuel at the nation's nuclear power plants are running out of space.

NP Rank:
Red Dawn, and the absurd premise of who invades us
When I was a kid I went to see the 1984 movie, Red Dawn at a drive-in. I was still naive enough at the time to believe that the Soviets could invade the U.S., as the film shows. Heck, the Soviets might not even have had a navy that could have invaded Canada. But, at least that was somewhat plausible. I mean, it could have happened. Probably wouldn't, but possible. The new Red Dawn has the North Koreans invading us. Yes, the North Koreans.
The North Koreans who if they tried to invade South Korea, just next door, would probably see their military wrecked in almost no time at all. Originally the movie was a bit more plausible with the nation invading us being China. But, the film maker didn't want to piss off the giant Chinese market. Or have the film banned there.
Unfortunately though, there are still Americans who believe in such absurdities. The strange thing I have found about much of the far right-wing, is that even though we have and will continue to have throughout the Obama Adminstration the most powerful and expensive military on the face of the earth, they are paranoid that every nation from China to North Korea to Monaco is going to invade us and enslave us in some way.
Of course, such beliefs are great to military contractors. The more paranoria, the more aircraft carriers sold to the U.S. government. To you and me. President Eisenhower, who was the Supreme Allied Commander in WWII in Europe, warned us when leaving office of the "military industrial complex". That being of course the generals who want heavy spending along with the military contractors happy to provide it to the politicans willing to vote for it for campaign contributations by the contractors. How right he was. There should be a movie made about that.


text: The hits just keep on coming as New Orleans will be home to the NBA All Star game just about this time next year. Houston just had the honor. Jay Cicero, President of the Greater New Orleans Sports Foundation says it's another feather in our growing cap of hosting major events. With an estimated economic impact of around $100 million dollars, he says it's really a week full of events and not just a single game. ''They'll have a similar event, like the NFL experience in the Convention Center, but there's a number of special events.'' That would include the slam dunk and 3 point shooting competition with stars and celebrities all over town. ''The NBA actually encourages that from the teams, a lot of spotlight on New Orleans,'' said Cicero. It's now considered one of healthiest of the all star games in pro sports and New Orleans is considered a special event capitol.
