MEMBER ALERT: AOPA is closed today, Dec. 10, due to inclement weather and will reopen Dec. 11 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern.
July 2, 2013
By Jim Moore
Federal officials have yet to respond to AOPA's demand for information (and explanations) regarding the increasingly frequent detention and search of law-abiding pilots by agents of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection—well inside the national borders.
AOPA continues to gather new reports from pilots with experiences similar to those first reported by AOPA Online in May. AOPA Manager of Aviation Security Tom Zecha said the online survey need not be fully completed to be useful, though the more data supplied, the better.
Zecha said he has heard positive feedback from members who appreciate the handy kneeboard-formatted checklist with detailed recommendations on how to respond to ground inspection and search demands (other than routine ramp checks conducted by FAA staff). The checklist will be published as a tear-out insert in the August issue of AOPA Pilot.
AOPA has yet to receive a response to a June 19 letter to acting CBP Commissioner Thomas S. Winkowski that noted the agency's failure to respond to previous Freedom of Information requests within the time frame required by law, and gave the agency until July 20 to respond before the association pursues "other remedies."
Topics Advocacy and Legislation, Security, Government Agencies, Kneeboards, Pilot Gear and Services
A House bill that would force FAA to go through the rulemaking process before imposing new policies for sleep disorders has passed a key committee.
The House has passed a bill requiring the TSA to consult stakeholders, including general aviation representatives, before making major changes to security policy.
Senators are demanding a written response from the Department of Homeland Security about unwarranted stops of general aviation aircraft by DHS and Customs and Border Protection.
AOPA thanks our members for their continued support in protecting the freedom to fly.

A staff report
The Fayetteville State Department of Athletics will hold a special recognition ceremony Saturday afternoon honoring the 1972-73 men's basketball team on the 40th anniversary of capturing the program's first CIAA championship. The event will take place during halftime of the men's basketball game against the Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls. Six members of the championship team are expected to be in attendance.
The 1972-73 squad had a season to remember, winning the school's only conference championship in men's basketball. Fayetteville State finished the regular season with a 16-10 overall record and 10-7 mark in conference play, good for a third-place finish in the CIAA Southern Division.
Fayetteville State was led by coach Tom Reeves, who compiled a 57-56 overall record and 19-21 conference mark in three seasons. He was twice named the CIAA tournament's Most Outstanding Coach - in 1972 and 1973. Reeves also guided FSU to a second-place finish in the CIAA tournament in 1972 after falling to Norfolk State in the championship game.
Fayetteville State exacted revenge on Norfolk State in the 1973 championship game, scoring a 94-89 overtime victory in front of 10,258 fans at the Greensboro Coliseum. Terrence Murchison picked up his second double-double of the tournament with a team-high 24 points and 13 rebounds. Otis Newkirk also registered a double-double (14 points, 11 rebounds), and Larry Cogdell added 22 points. Sam Smith provided 10 points off the bench.
The Broncos finished the 1972-73 season with a 21-11 overall record while advancing to the NCAA Southeast Regional where they finished third. Alton Cogdell was the lone FSU player to be named CIAA All-Conference while also being named to the All-Tournament Team. He was joined on the All-Tournament team by Murchison, tournament MVP James Tyus and James Saunders. Tyus also earned NCAA Southeastern Regional Team honors.

I thought this would be a good place to start. In V2 I was using an off the shelf CSK-PP35 with keyway on both rings. For V3 I have had a tailored Sprag clutch manufactured.
It is based around the CSK-PP35 but with dimenions more suited to bike components.
OD 62mm
ID 1.37", 24TPI. This lines up with standard bike threads
Width 15mm. This is 1mm norrower than standard to allow to give 'perfect' fit to cranks able to accept freewheels.
Outer ring Keyway 8mm wide, 1mm deep
Combined bearing and sprag with seals on each side
They have saved me a lot of time and cost avoiding keys and 'special parts' being made, and so I felt worth the cost. Some on here may not agree, going with the lower cost due to no consideration to valueing their own time, since it is a hobby.
I can sell at AUD$50 plus postage. As an idea, postage to USA or UK could be as low as AUD$12 by standard air mail.

BARRE A Northfield Falls man is accused of driving dangerously with his 2-year-old daughter in the car.
Jesse L. Hodgdon, 39, pleaded not guilty to charges of careless or negligent operation and child cruelty on a child less than 10 years old, both misdemeanors, in Washington County criminal court Thursday. If convicted, he faces a maximum of three years in prison and a $1,500 fine.
According to the police affidavit, witnesses saw Hodgdon tailgate a slow vehicle on Route 12 heading toward Berlin. When the vehicle turned onto Muzzy Road, Hodgdon allegedly got close to the car and laid on the horn, then swerved around him, missing the turning car by only a few inches.
A witness said Hodgdon then passed another slow car near the Econo Lodge and nearly had a head-on collision with another vehicle.
The witnesses called police, who located Hodgdon at the Cumberland Farms in Berlin. Police said they saw Hodgdons daughter in a car seat in the locked vehicle, which was not running although the temperature was around 36 degrees. They also said Hodgdon would not have been able to see the vehicle from inside the store.MORE IN This Just InMEMPHIS, Tenn.

On Monday, a Baptist Press story quoted Chick-fil-A's president Dan Cathy admitting his company's anti-gay ideology — a stance the company previously attempted to deny. But after two days of Cathy boasting about the story, the company's Facebook page now features a message flatly contradicting its head. In his interview with the Baptist Press, Cathy admitted that the company indeed has an anti-gay political agenda. When asked about reports that the company was against same-sex marriage, he told the paper "Well, guilty as charged,"

The Democrats are trying the Weimar Republic approach of the 1930s to solve their destruction of the US economy. The Federal Reserve announced plans to buy $600 billion in United States treasuries this week. This strategy, under the current buzzwords of quantitative easing, is risky:
…. starting in 2009, the Fed embarked on what it called quantitative easing — a fancy term for creating money out of thin air. Over a little more than a year, it bought more than $1.7 trillion in assets, mainly U.S. Treasury and agency debt.
Today, U.S. bank reserves are close to $1 trillion — an enormous amount compared with the normal $4 billion to $8 billion.
On Tuesday, with the economy struggling and many Fed officials still worried about the specter of deflation, the Fed embarked on a second round of quantitative easing, dubbed QE2. The plan is to spend $600 billion to buy even more government debt….
Another term for the shell game that the Fed is playing with our collective worth is monetizing the debt:
The shell game that the Fed is currently playing does not change the basic equation: Money is being printed out of thin air so that it can be used to buy US government debt.
The idiocy of what the Federal Reserve is doing isn't receiving enough media coverage. Germans are qualifed better than anyone else to comment because they made this mistake during the Weimar Republic & suffered horribly for it.
Finance Minister Schaeuble sharply criticizes US Federal Reserve move
….The US plan, called quantitative easing, aims to put more money into the pockets of companies, consumers and homeowners but some financial analysts have expressed fears that it could lead to excessive inflation and an intensification of currency imbalances.
Schaeuble said he would not let Germany's opposition to the Fed's action get pushed to the back burner and that the issue would be addressed during the G20 summit in South Korea next week.
"I wish the Americans every success in dealing with their big problems effectively and swiftly," he said. "But if they look at the successes that Germany has had they will see that more and more deficits is not the way to do it."
Europe's largest economy, Germany is enjoying a strong recovery from the global economic crisis and has resisted calls for scaling back its austerity measures and lowering taxes….
Wikipedia — Inflation in the Weimar Republic
Reuters — U.S. dollar printing is huge risk:
Unbridled printing of dollars is the biggest risk to the global economy, an adviser to the Chinese central bank said in comments published on Thursday, a day after the Federal Reserve unveiled a new round of monetary easing.
China must set up a firewall via currency policy and capital controls to cushion itself from external shocks, Xia Bin said in a commentary piece in the Financial News, a Chinese-language newspaper managed by the central bank.
"As long as the world exercises no restraint in issuing global currencies such as the dollar — and this is not easy — then the occurrence of another crisis is inevitable, as quite a few wise Westerners lament," he said….
The Federal Reserve launched a fresh effort on Wednesday to support the struggling U.S. economy, committing to buy $600 billion in government bonds despite concerns the programme could do more harm than good….

Editor's Note: This store is part of our feature "Living With Cancer: Lessons and Advice from Kris Carr" which was originally printed in the Special Report "New Answers for Cancer" from Scientific American.
Rather than surrendering to despair and impersonal medical treatments, growing numbers of cancer patients are empowering themselves with information and control over their therapies. The trend is finding acceptance in mainstream medicine and helping people with cancer lead healthier lives.
The experiences of author and filmmaker Kris Carr, who was diagnosed with a rare, incurable malignancy, illustrate how successfully one can manage cancer as a chronic disease.
The following resource guides offer tips on developing a strategy for managing the illness, asking the right questions of physicians and getting the right professional and personal support.
1.You Have Cancer: Now What?
Diagnosis: cancer. Your head is spinning, and you feel like the wind has been sucked out of you. In a split second, life as you knew it is gone. "Getting diagnosed throws your entire universe into a free fall," Carr writes in her 2007 book Crazy Sexy Cancer Tips. "There's no sugarcoating it: cancer is a devastating blow, one that takes time to process."
The first things you should do (after taking a deep breath and trying to chill):
- Find the best doctor for your disease: Be willing to travel and always get second, third and even fourth opinions to make sure that you're getting the best treatment.
- Design a healing plan: Pull together a team of Western physicians as well as integrative doctors (to teach you how to build up your immunity and spiritual grit) to create the best get-healthy recipe. Ask family and friends to chip in and scour the Internet and bookshelves for information. "If you want to heal, you have to take initiative, have a voice and use it," Carr says.
- Focus on lifestyle changes: "The only thing that you can control is what you eat, what you drink and how you move," Carr says. She recommends exploring healthy diets, exercise and alternative therapies such as massage, yoga and meditation to boost and maintain your physical and emotional well-being.
- Create a support system: "Nobody understands you quite like another cancer survivor," Carr says. "There is incredible strength in that."
- Live! "Don't wait for permission to live. Just because you have cancer does not mean that your life is over,'' Carr insists. "Start living. It's that simple."
2. Questions to Ask
Studies show that cancer (and other) patients who arm themselves with information typically fare better and experience fewer side effects than those who simply follow doctors' orders, no questions asked. Being informed gives them some control over their disease—and that feeling of empowerment plays a role in the healing process. No. 1 rule: do not be cowed by your doctor. Ask him or her to explain anything and everything you don't understand. Prepare questions in advance of appointments (to reduce stress and the odds of forgetting any)—and bring a notebook to jot down answers and other important info. Below are some questions you should ask:
- What causes this type of cancer?
- What are the risk factors? If it's genetic, are other family members at risk?
- What lifestyle changes (diet, exercise, rest) do you recommend?
- What are my treatment options?
- Are there activities that should be avoided because they might trigger or
exacerbate symptoms? - What happens if new symptoms crop up or existing ones worsen?
- What medical tests or procedures are necessary? How often?
- What stage is my cancer? What does that mean?
- What is my overall prognosis or chance of recovery?
- What are the average survival and cure rates?
- Could my disease go into remission?
- What is the recommended treatment?
- How often will I have to undergo treatment—and for how long?
- What are the potential side effects?
- What are the benefits versus the risks of each treatment option?
- Are there alternative therapies? What are they?
- What are the expected results of treatment?
- Is the treatment painful? If so, is there a way to make it more bearable?
- How long is the recovery? Will it require a hospital stay?
- When can I resume my normal activity (if it's been curtailed)?
- Has my cancer spread? If so, how does this change treatment decisions?
- Am I eligible for any clinical trials?
- What happens if my disease progresses while I'm in a clinical trial?
- Who foots the bills if I participate in a clinical trial?
- Where can I find emotional, psychological and spiritual support?
- Whom should I call with questions or concerns after office hours?
- May I contact you or a nurse if I have questions or more symptoms? (If the
answer is "no," find another doctor.)

Heavy rumor that Heart's original lineup will reunite and perform at their induction at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony in April.
The news comes courtesy of the Examiner, who noticed a post on original guitarist Roger Fisher's Facebook page, which read, "I haven't seen anyone announce it yet: THE ORIGINAL HEART LINEUP WILL PLAY AT THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME INDUCTION CEREMONY." This is believed to be the first time they will have performed together since Fisher's departure in 1979.
Fisher left the group, which he co-founded as The Army in 1963 and eventually morphed into Heart, when his personal relationship with Nancy Wilson ended. Two original members, bassist Steven Fossen and drummer Mike Derosier, quit in 1982, and keyboardist Howard Leese remained until 1997.
The Wilson sisters have not confirmed it though.

In 2008, he received the Presidential Medal of Freedom. This week Dr. Benjamin Carson, Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, spoke at the National Prayer Breakfast. His last appearance there was 16 years ago.
He starts out with "political correctness". And some Biblical quotes.
Proverbs 11:9 With his mouth the godless destroys his neighbor, but through knowledge the righteous escape.
Proverbs 11:12 A man who lacks judgement derides his neighbor. But a man of understanding holds his tongue.
Dr. Carson speaks about his concerns on political correctness. He says we need to forget about "unanimity" of speech and thought. We need to be "respectful to those people with whom we disagree".
P.C. is dangerous. It muffles and muzzles people and at the same time keeps people from discussing important issues while the fabric of this country is being changed.
The people who founded this nation said that our system of government was designed for a well-informed and educated populace. And when they become less informed they become vulnerable.
And then he asks this question:
"What concerns you? What are you most concerned about in terms of the spirituality and the direction of our nation and our world?"
What concerns you?

we ate at the bar, the bartender was friendly and funny, the food was good. loved the choices in the gift shop, best tshirts of all the stores. thanks for the good experience....
The food was very good and the views of Shagawa Lake are great. The service was friendly, but very slow. Had to ask several times for refills on drinks and it was not terribly busy. Server was nice and friendly, but frustratingly slow.
The food is not gourmet but tasty , plentiful and reasonable. May not be adequate for hefty appetites but for seniors it is especially attractive. The view of the Lake is lovely and surroundings and decor are very nice. An enjoyable meal.
When in Ely we usually eat at the "GEL" one or two times because I love the chicken wild rice soup. If you are there at sunset, you may be treated to a beautiful sky over Shagwa Lake. Last time we had to eat in the bar area because of a Little League dinner in the main dining area. The... More
We have been coming here to eat weekly for the months we spend at our lake home outside of Ely. Generally , we enjoy ourselves and enjoy the food. Nothing gourmet, but tasty and basic if you stick to frequently ordered entrees. Tonight was different- unexpectedly. We sat in the fireplace lobby area. Big mistake. Our server tried but we... More
The walleye sandwich is a star. The Thai chicken salad was very nice except for indelible pea pods. The chef really must check his ingredients before he or she uses them. Perhaps a bit of a parboil would have rendered than chewable.
This place is absolutely a cabin feeling place with views on Shagwa Lake there broasted chicken is moist and tender drinks were good and service excellent by Billie Jo A must if ever in Ely
This huge, wooden lodge has exquisite food as well as fine hotel accommodations. You can sit outside the restaurant on the outside deck facing beautiful Lake Shagawa, or enjoy tranquil ambiance inside with spectacular views of the lake as well. Be sure to check out their wild rice soup anytime, and the walleye sandwich at lunch time. Service is mostly... More
We were so excited to have dinner there for our 26th Wedding Anniversary. What a mistake! I ordered the Chicken Florentine and it was the absolutely worst thing I ever had at any Ely eating establishment. The chicken was sooo overcooked a steak knife would not do the job.

February 17th, 2011: Oh snap, Pixeltime T-Rex is being discontinued and now it's your last chance to get it/him!!
From far away it looks like a regular T-Rex picture, and then as you get close it is revealed to be MODERN ART. I love this shirt and wear it out and about; web cartoonists say it's not cool to wear your own shirts but to them I say, take a look at this shirt.
Every time I discontinue a shirt I get disappointed emails weeks and even months down the road saying "I want one" and I have to write back sad emails saying "There are none left on the planet; they have all been purchased". You should buy a pixeltime T-Rex shirt for everyone you know, because then there will absolutely be fewer sad emails on the planet!! To make sure the best gifts ever in time get to you when you want them, here are the HOLIDAY SHIPPING DEADLINES. Orders placed before these dates will get to you in time for Christmas! One year ago today: in writing this comic I looked up what flavours fruit roll-ups currently come in, and among them is "Crazy Pix Cool Chix Berry Wave". friends, I call that poetry. – Ryan
December 5th: All shipping methods except U.S.P.S. First-Class Package International Service� are safe.
December 6th: International orders made not selecting U.S.P.S. Priority Mail Express International� shipping will likely arrive in January.
December 11th: USPS FIRST CLASS and STANDARD may not make it in time and neither will USPS EXPRESS MAIL INTERNATIONAL.
December 16th: ALMOST NOTHING IS SAFE. USPS EXPRESS is the only safe USPS option.
December 19th: A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE (IF THINGS PLACED ON OR AFTER THIS DATE ARRIVE BY THE 24TH, THAT IS)

Nothing in life is to be feared; it is only to be understood.
A rock, glittery gold and slate colored, has been placed on a table next to a chip of old Fiestaware and a Big Ben clock inside a brightly lit classroom at Southern California Edison's San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, the power plant whose twin containment domes define the coastline below San Clemente. Ray Golden, a spokesperson who conducts plant tours for schoolchildren, foreign diplomats and anyone else he can interest in the magic of nuclear fission, is telling me how radiation — in the form of the clock's glow-in-the-dark radium or uranium oxide that gives the plate its deep reddish-orange hue — has been used for nearly a century in manufactured goods. But it's the rock, a roughly elliptical piece of solid uranium ore, small enough to fit in my hand but able to throw off radioactive particles as it slowly decays into unstable thorium, radium and, eventually, lead, that attracts me. And when Golden turns his back to write some diagrams on the classroom's whiteboard, I quickly pick up the rock, cradling it in one hand. Small doses of alpha, beta and even penetrating gamma rays begin to bombard my skin, and I savor the transmutation of elements happening under my very nose. Just about 10 seconds pass before I put the rock back where I got it, unnoticed by Golden.
In practical terms, the chunk of ore is no more dangerous than any other stone I might have held. Still, when Golden runs a pale green plastic box, a dosimeter, across the surface of the rock to measure its radioactivity, the machine emits high-pitched beeps with each pass — sometimes slowly, like a moderate pulse, other times in rapid succession like a jammed letter on an old computer keyboard. Each beep represents 200 counts per minute; 2,000 counts makes a millirem, which is atomic science's metric for absorbed radiation. Holding the rock for 10 seconds, I may have absorbed a millirem of radiation in various forms, which is not so bad: The average person gets about 360 millirems a year just from the radiation that beams down from the sun and occurs naturally in the Earth's rocks and soil; mile-high Denver residents get nearly twice that. It would take much more to hurt me.
"Fifty-thousand millirems would cause a slight change on your body chemistry," Golden explains. "Five hundred thousand, if you got it in a few hours, would bring on burns, vomiting, sickness, hair loss and, for about half the population, death."
It would be impossible to get that kind of dose from a rock even 100 times the size of this one, and relatively easy to avoid getting any dose at all. Although it usually takes lead or concrete to block gamma radiation, the rock is so small and its gamma rays so weak that it's mostly sending out alpha and beta particles, and when Golden places a piece of paper between the rock and the dosimeter, the beeping fades. A sheet of Plexiglas stops the beeping altogether.
Even plutonium, one of the world's most toxic materials, emits only alpha particles, which can be blocked by paper, a thin sheet of aluminum or even your skin. "As long as you don't ingest or inhale [them]," Golden says, "alpha particles can't hurt you." Or, in the words of Elena Filatova, the intrepid Ukrainian motorcyclist who documented Chernobyl's dead zone in photographs, "You can play billiard balls with pure plutonium. Just don't swallow it by mistake."
Like every magical property of nature that man has harnessed, radiation, Golden insists, is neither good nor bad. But what about nuclear power? Is it good or bad for the Earth? Neither? Five years ago, few of us would have bothered to ask. You were either for or, more likely, against nukes — if you thought about them at all.
But nuclear energy is seeping back into our public consciousness here in 2005, which may go down in history as the year in which global warming went from debunkable theory to indisputable fact for a significant part of the population, not simply because of our record-breaking hurricane season or the record-high temperatures in many cities around the world, but the reality that we regularly wake up to find evidence in our mainstream newspapers of an ecology gone awry due to warming seas and blistering droughts — disappearing cold-water plankton and starving seabirds in the Shetland Islands, the Russian ship that sailed to the North Pole in August without the aid of an icebreaker, the sudden disappearance of certain butterfly species in Baja. In light of these conditions, almost anything seems better than burning more coal, which for every megawatt of power blasts a ton of heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the skies. This is one reason why nuclear has reemerged as a viable source of energy for new power plants — not just among George W. Bush and his business buddies (who like the idea of more nuclear and more coal), but even among futurists, environmentalists and Democrats in the U.S. Senate, from quasi-Republican Joe Lieberman to new hope Barack Obama.
"Nuclear power is the only green solution," began a spring 2004 editorial in London's Independent by James Lovelock, the progenitor of the Gaia theory of the Earth as a self-correcting, self-regenerating organism. "We cannot continue drawing energy from fossil fuels, and there is no chance that the renewables, wind, tide and water power can provide enough energy and in time . . . we do not have 50 years."
Stewart Brand, the visionary founder of the Whole Earth Catalog, followed Lovelock this year in Technology Review: "The only technology ready to fill the gap and stop the carbon dioxide loading of the atmosphere is nuclear power," he wrote. "The industry is mature, with a half-century of experience and ever improved engineering behind it."
Later came Patrick Moore, a co-founder of Greenpeace (although he quit the group a decade ago), the recently deceased Reverend Hugh Montefiore of Friends of the Earth in England and Fred Krupp, the notoriously well-paid head of Environmental Defense, who stopped short of endorsing new plants but conceded that "we all should have an open mind" about nuclear power.
At first I was tempted to treat these statements as curiosities, extreme positions meant to stir controversy. But all this year I've met serious environmentalists, from Randy Udall of the Aspen-based Community Office for Resource Efficiency to a Bay Area friend who runs an energy efficiency company, who share Krupp's "open mind" sentiment. Even Jared Diamond, author of Collapse: How Societies Choose to Succeed or Fail, recently made his support for nuclear power explicit when he appeared with Brand before an audience in San Francisco. Is it possible that we have come to this: a choice between a catastrophic warming trend and the most feared energy source on earth?
Back in the learning laboratory at San Onofre, where I've come on my own open-minded journey to test my assumptions about nuclear power, Golden holds up a small vial of yellow powder: uranium oxide, or yellowcake uranium, milled and refined — the substance at the heart of the current CIA leak investigation. Before its atoms' energy can be harnessed, uranium oxide has to be enriched, by centrifuge or by being turned into a gas and passed through a series of membranes, a process called "gaseous diffusion." Uranium comes out of the ground only .7 percent uranium-235 (or U-235); fueling a light-water reactor like San Onofre's requires a concentration of 4.7 percent U-235. Using a mock-up of a reactor core that stands at the front of the room — a contraption that looks like the inside of a miniature pipe organ — Golden demonstrates how uranium pellets the size of baby fingertips fill the core's 236 zirconium tubes, which are then bundled together in a fuel assembly.
The few times I've seen the stout, easygoing Golden at public meetings and on this tour, his face has had the look of a perennial mild sunburn, and his reddish-blond hair always looks bleached by the sun. He has worked in public relations for the nuclear industry 23 of his 45 years on Earth — his own nuclear half-life. He accuses the nuclear industry of "falling down on the job" by keeping so many secrets about its world, and holds that if the American public, like the more nuclear-friendly French, knew all the facts — what happens when atoms split, how unstable nuclides decay, how uranium is enriched and waste is transported — nuclear energy might be more popular with the American public. "Most Americans think they know about radiation because of Chernobyl, science fiction or the three-eyed fish in The Simpsons," he says. "So as a country, we are phobic about radiation."
Of course, the U-235 that fuels San Onofre is highly fissile: When one of its atoms absorbs an extra neutron, its nucleus splits and forms other nuclides, including radioÂactive versions of strontium, cesium and iodine, along with plutonium. It also lets loose more neutrons to hit other U-235 atoms, provoking a chain reaction of fission events. Fission generates heat, which in a light-water reactor turns water into steam. Maintaining the right balance of fission events — keeping the reactor at a "critical" state — is a tricky process. If too many neutrons fly around splitting atoms, the core gets too hot, in which case operators insert control rods made of boron and silver into the fuel assembly to slow or stop the chain reaction and avert a meltdown. If it doesn't stay hot enough, the core loses power, provoking a different set of events that can lead to an equally disastrous loss of control. If the reactor drifts in either direction, or if for some reason the core loses too much water — which cools the core at the same rate it transfers heat — a partial or complete meltdown could result. In the early days of nuclear power, many people feared that once a meltdown was in process, it would continue to melt through the Earth's core from North America all the way to China: the "China Syndrome" of the movie's title.
On the face of it, nuclear power seems like a lot of trouble just for a little steam to run a few turbines to produce a few thousand megawatts of electricity. The Rocky Mountain Institute's Amory Lovins, a steadfastly anti-nuclear advocate of conservation and green power, has likened nuclear power to cutting butter with a chain saw. But the flip side of that excess is nuclear's other great advantage: how small a uranium pellet it takes to power the world. The fission of one uranium atom releases 200 million electron volts of energy.
"Our core is only a 12-foot cube," Golden says, "yet it powers 1.2 million homes for four years before you ever need to refuel." The trillions of fissile atoms in one tiny uranium pellet yield enough energy to replace 150 gallons of gas, 1,780 pounds of coal, 16,000 cubic feet of natural gas and two and a half tons of wood. And they do so without adding an ounce of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere. It is widely accepted that one nuclear power plant spares the atmosphere the emissions of 93 million cars.
When the pellets have been depleted down to 1 percent U-235, specially trained plant workers replace them with fresh fuel. Some other countries, France and England among them, take this waste and reprocess it, separating out the remaining U-235, as well as the plutonium, cesium and other useful nuclides, reducing the remaining waste by 75 percent. In the U.S., the spent fuel rods go into storage pools on site until they've cooled enough to be moved into dry-cask storage.
And that's the problem. Like everyone in the nuclear industry, Golden is acutely aware that no such dry-cask storage for those fuel rods exists. The spent fuel at San Onofre has been sitting in its cooling pools since the first refueling of Unit 1 in the early 1970s.
"It's an issue," admits Golden. The U.S. had two reprocessing facilities, one in West Valley New York that operated for only a short time and another in Morris, Illinois, that never actually recycled any fuel. Both were shut down when Presidents Ford and Carter declared moratoriums on the technology out of concern for proliferation. The country's only candidate for long-term storage of high-level nuclear waste, which includes spent fuel rods, is a five-mile-long tunnel bored through the rock at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, an endeavor that has been fought at every turn by the state of Nevada. The Department of Energy has missed its contractual deadline for receiving commercial high-level waste by more than seven years. Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas and Electric, which owns the Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant near San Luis Obispo, have sued to recover costs of storing the fuel themselves. This past spring, the National Academy of Sciences issued a report warning that the spent-fuel cooling pools have been inadequately protected and could be targets for terrorists.
If the matter of where to put nuclear waste makes reasonable people uncomfortable about the continuing use of nuclear energy, the prospect of a nuclear accident has turned many others more hysterically against it. The history of commercial nuclear power in the United States is full of mishaps — the 1959 meltdown of the Sodium Reactor Experiment in Santa Susana, 30 miles north of downtown L.A.; the 1975 control room fire at Browns' Ferry in Athens, Alabama, and, more recently a significant cooling system leak at the Davis Besse plant in Ohio. The most famous of those accidents, the partial meltdown in 1979 at Three Mile Island, near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been blamed for turning the American public against nuclear reactors for good, even though the electricity market had already begun to cool toward a technology that simply cost too much to start up. Whatever remnant of pro-nuclear public sentiment remained was finally erased shortly after April 25, 1986, when the graphite core of Chernobyl Unit 4 in then-Soviet Ukraine caught fire while workers were testing the reactor to see whether its safety systems could run without backup power. Thirty-one people died as a direct result, and a cloud of poison gas drifted across Ukraine, Belarus and much of Europe, contaminating the soil for millennia to come. The surrounding area was dubbed "the Red Forest" after its irradiated pine trees turned a deep red.
But nuclear's proponents argue that by all accounts, the Soviet RBMK reactor at Chernobyl was a backward design with no containment and large amounts of flammable graphite; poorly trained operators were executing a flawed experiment in running the reactor on its own power when it got so hot they could no longer control it. Accidents in the United States have so far simply not amounted to much: It's useful to remember that no one died at Three Mile Island — at least not officially. And, while opinions of the incident's effects differ, no one has proved that any radioactivity that might have escaped into the atmosphere during the meltdown endangered anyone's health.
California's two remaining nuclear plants have, by industry standards, stellar safety records — in part, some say, because the state's powerful cadre of anti-nuclear activists has ridden herd on them since they were built, forcing state and local authorities to police every misstep — but also because they have been well run by large public utilities that, at least until the deregulation of California's electricity market, had the resources to prioritize safety. "Every day we manage complacency," says Golden. "Every day we re-dedicate ourselves to safety. Every employee here who complains has their complaint taken seriously, even if it's just about the food in the cafeteria. We want everyone to feel comfortable blowing the whistle if they have to."
The plant's record is not spotless: In 1980, the Nuclear Regulatory Commssion, the federal agency charged with monitoring plant safety, fined Southern California Edison $100,000 after 66 workers received higher-than-acceptable doses of radiation while fixing leaky steam tubes; four years later, Edison paid the same fine after some fuel rods disintegrated during refueling. Unit 1 was shutdown for good in 1992 when its cracks cost too much to fix, and in 2001, an electrical fire on Unit 3 forced a four-month shutdown of that reactor. Just this summer, a plant worker failed a breathalyzer test and spent 30 days in rehab.
But most of San Onofre's safety violations are far more ordinary. Outside the building that houses the reactor itself is a sign registering the number of days since a such an event occurred. The day I visit, the sign says it's been 28 days since the last incident.
"What happened?" I ask Golden.
He points to a short flight of stairs.
"Someone tripped," he tells me, "and broke his ankle. A compound fracture."

Fig & Olive - Meatpacking
Online Reservations
The restaurant had a great bar and spirits selection. I would recommend for a night out with friends.
Slowest service on the planet, but tasty food! Would love to go back but hesitant due to service issue, esp w a group.
Absolutely some of the finest cheese and wine you will find in the Manhattan area , the price is just outstanding for what you get deff would recommend a friend . Delicious
This was my first time at Fig & Olive for brunch. I didn't know what to expect since I was taking my pre-teen kids and was there inthe past only on evening occasions in adult company. Well, I was very surprised not so much by the menue, which I know it is excellent, but by the kid-friendly-in-a-grown-ups-world experience. Another excuse to sample Fig & Olive's excellence!
Good chic food for Meatpacking. Don't leave your wallet at home!
excellent experience in dining. We went with 2 kids and really enjoyed ourselves, The wine is is excellent and the food is well done. Really liked the octopus as well as the chicken tagine. kid friendly. The noise level is on the higher side and hence dont expect to have quiet conversations...
The food and the waiter were amazing but - regardless of showing up on time for our reservation - we had to wait for 40 minutes in the cold "waiting area" with people passing in and out all the time. No fun for a cold November night. :( The receptionists were rude too. But then again, all the dishes were outstanding and the waiter knew his business very well.
Sat. 11/2/2013 I brought my wife and kids for a birthday celebration, for all of us it was real wonderful experience, a bit noise will not hurt, it is Sat. night and it is NYC. service was very good, the young lady was very attentive, food was.....HMMMMMMMM, real good, I can have more of the fig s that were served with my fish. everyone at our table liked there food very much. next month we will celebrate our weeding anniversary, will be back there for dinner. Thank you
Perfect place to enjoy some time with your partner. Food was excellent same as the service!
Had a great dinner that reminded us of our recent trip to Barcelona. Small plates were delicious and great fun to try. Portions were just right and we left their satisfied, not stuffed. Staff was very helpful, friendly, and nice although a bit slow.
Fig and Olive is one of my favorite restaurants! The food is delicious, service is great, and the food is consistent. I usually get the same dish every time, penne funghi tartufo, and every time I have gotten it it has tasted amazing. I appreciate being able to go into a restaurant, order a dish and have it taste great every single time. The raspberry mojito is so a winner. Just delicious. Will definitely be back!
Excellent service and food always great. Bread basket superb. Staff amazing professional and friendly Love this place. Go for brunch every Sunday. Great to be appreciated as a regular even when the place is full
While this place is too crowded and noisy over the weekends, Monday night was a wonderful and highly recommendable dining experience. The truffle risotto with its intense flavors was one of the best I've ever eaten, and the scallops were divine. The 3-course menu had a nice selection of dishes. A perfect place to bring guests from out of town.
Very nice room, great service, excellent food....but much too loud.
Witress, could be more friendly, I know they deal with costumers every day.... but being a little friendlier goes a long way and makes your dinning experience better. No complaints, with the running staf, those guys are so friendly and ready to help and fast, not matter what the food is to die for and the the desserts are even better, I loved the food the experience! I I for sure will be coming back as often as I can and recommend Fig & Olive to everybody !
Restaurant is overall excellent. Great menu, food, drinks! Will be back!
Food and service first rate,went for lunch and it was packed had reservation and we were seated right on time.Waiter answered all questions as this was our first time there but it will not be our last.
We were 45 minutes late to our reservation and therefore it had been given away. However on a busy Saturday night, they were able to seat us in 10 minutes. Great food and a wonderful menu. We attempted to be sneaky and gave our credit card to the host to pay for the meal ahead of time but it was lost in the scramble. It was found and corrected but a minute of scare.
I went here for a girls night birthday dinner and everything was fabulous! The tables were a little tight but that is to be expected! Service was great and the food was delicious. Will definitely be returning.
went there for first time on a Sat night. hosts were super friendly. Nice surprise! Ambience was great! loved the Cafe del Mar like music and really appreciated we could have a conversation with out yelling! nice touch of olive oil tasting Our server was from Mali, (sorry can't remember his name) very engaging without seeming like a Timeshare sales guy! He was professional and informative. A DEFINITE asset. Our food was superb. Had very fresh vegetable crudite ,appetizers of mushrooms/truffle oil, seared scallops were excellent. entrees of Chilean sea bass & salmon were super fresh. delicious! shared apple tarte tartin. Wish it was a bit more generous! I was "sad" to see it all gone!! We'd go again! Excellent
Easy to get reservations. Food was fresh, well prepared, and organic.
My boyfriend and I went here for brunch on Sunday, and we had an amazing fig & walnut pancake. Their crab cake benedict was okay, but its portion is too small and it has an unusual "benedict formation". The egg only sits on one side of the bread instead of two. Love the potato/garlic side that comes with the benedict though. Overall, a good experience.
Wow,this place was recommended by a colleague,I loved it's vibrant atmosphere.Menu & wine list is a fantastic mix of Mediterranean flavours.Music was fantastic too,although a little loud for conversation at dinner.Service was friendly and efficient.I would return next time in NYC.
I have dined here a few times. I am never disappointed! I food and service is great!
The meal was fabulous. However, it was quit noisy in the restaurant. It was hard to have a conversation with the person sitting across from you.
I came with my friend a saturday night,it was very busy .the waitress was a little too fast .she was not very patient but It will not change the way I feel about this restaurant.I love their food.I tested lots of the specialties ( appetizers,salads,fishes,crostinis)& everything is delicious.
Always pleased with Fig & Olive! Will be returning soon.
The restaurant is beautiful and food great. Loved it. But the noise level is much too high. Cant hear yourself talk.
This is my 3rd time back at Fig and Olive. The place was packed but the servers were doing a great job at keeping up with the pace. I definitely recommend this spot to others. Its one of the best restaurants in the meat packing district. Bring some friends, choose a bottle of wine and a bunch of appetizers and enjoy.
My wife and daughter stumbled onto The Fig & Olive uptown after a day at the Met. Let me tell you ever since they found this gem we continue to go back for dinner and brunch on the weekends. The service and food are always consistently great and the restaurants are hip and extremely clean. For brunch you can not go wrong with the poached egg with mushrooms and prosciutto, and the French Chicken which comes in a cast iron pan is to die for. Make sure you get the cheese plate and plenty of crostini's..... THEY ROCK!
I enjoyed Fig and Olive so much the first time, I decided to return. We had reservations but waited as others who came in after us were seated. When I brought this to the attention of the hosts, they were apologetic, seated us quickly, and brought us each a glass of champagne as an apology for our wait. We started our meal with an assortment of the crostini's and each one was spectacular. I chose 3 our of 6 and asked our server to surprise us with 3 of his favorites. We were thrilled with the selections he made. When it came time for an entree selection, I narrowed my choice down to 3 entrees and asked our server to surprise me again. I had the Fig and Olive Chicken which was such a perfect blend of sweet and savory and very satisfying.
It's my first time in Fig & Olive and both my boyfriend and I liked the atmosphere, the place and enjoyed the food very much. We highly recommend it.
Me and my husband liked very much dinner in this restaurant. The place was lovely, quiet and confortable. The food was fantastic and the wine list amazing. We loved to see that there was wine from Priorat, our land Catalonia, and others from Spain. Definitely we do recomend this restaurant for a special occasion.
We had dinner at Fig & Olive last Sunday whilst on a weekend break in New York. It's a beautiful restaurant with an interesting (but not too long) menu. Portions were pretty big so we were glad that we'd not ordered starters. I had the chicken tagine which was really tasty. Only one of us took dessert (apple tart with ice cream) but this was polished off and declared 'delicious'! As it was Sunday night the diners cleared out pretty quickly and we were almost the only people in the room however this didn't detract from the overall ambiance as the music was loud enough. It's a great place for dinner before drinks in the Boom Boom Room on the 18th floor of The Standard hotel which is only a few minutes walk.
We celebrated my girlfriends 30th birthday and we had a fantastic night. The food was delicious the ambiance of the restaurant was great.
Dined at 1:00 on a weekday at the meat packing location. The restaurant decor is beautiful. Two very large rooms decorated in white and glass. Very open and elegant feel. Service was subtle and low key. We.were not in a rush so the slow pace of our meal was exactly what we wanted. We stayed almost two hours talking eating and enjoying e beautiful atmosphere. We had heard that the restaurant could be very loud. Since we were in the room farthest from the music, we did not experience excessive noise. The food was presented in a fun and creative way. Everything we ordered was delicious. Definitely will return.
We had a wonderful evening visiting and sampling the food.
This was our second vsit to Fig & Olive. The food and service were excellent. We brought friends with us who were just as impressed. The food is prepared using olive oil and and provides upscale healthful dining options. When you go to Fig & Olive try the crostini appetizers, there is a wonderful selection for a great appetizer for the group to share. Looking foward to going back, Dave the manager took great care of us.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in NYC. The food is delicious and very well cooked, great wines and cocktails, delicious deserts. The service is great (last time the service was a bit slow because we had one waiter for the whole area, but she was very nice and usually the service is really good). I highly recommend this restaurant.
I love the ambience, (figs and rosemary all around you, high ceilings and great lighting) the service and the food. Olive oils and bread for tasting are always a welcome start to go with that first glass of wine. You can get a few small plates, choices of seasonal soups or entrees that are consistently good. I have never had a bad meal or bad service at this location.
As an avid lover of Mediterranean cuisine and that of Southern France and the Iberian Peninsula, I was impressed with the Fig & Olive MeatPacking location. The food was exquisite and the wait-staff were ever so attentive and helpful. I would most definitely consider visiting this location in future with my frequent international visitors in tow. To think that I was not aware of this location... The wait staff need only be a bit better educated as to the meals which they are serving as a specific question into the meal was met with a rather general unsure answer. There did seem to be training taking place at the moment so it shan't be held against them. Room for improvement but definitely recommended.
We often avoid restaurants with notable names on holidays because we have previously been disappointed. If you've ever eaten in a favorite place off holiday then return bringing family and friends you might know what I mean. That said, we were very happy with the service, food and attention to detail, even though it was a very busy Thanksgiving weekend. Dined for Sat. brunch and was not disappointed. Great cocktails, friendly atmosphere, no waiting and food served hot. Only drawback, couldn't get any regular (unflavored) butter for the bread. After multiple tries we did get what seemed to be a fruit flavored butter on a plate that looked like it belonged on top of hot French Toast to melt. We can overlook it since it was tasty!
Love the Fig & Olive in the Meatpacking district. Food and service is always great but the music and atmosphere is what makes this exceptional. Highly recommended for a great night out.
Excellent food and service. A little pricey but will definitely be going back.
Great meal and service, but acoustics made it tough to hear and converse.
My date and i really enjoyed the great food and lively atmosphere. I highly recommend the octopus appetizer and truffle risotto.The only i issues i had about this place was the lack of service and small food portions. Their entrees are comparable to appetizer size portions.
This is the type of restaurant you expect in a city like New York
We had an excellent time. Everything was great. Food was amazing. Drinks were super delicious and original. Service was good. Ambiance was great. Perfect for night out with friends.
jsuta greta place- accomdating- great for long brunches -even with kids!
Fig and Olive is our go-to when we are out on the town. The service absolutely cannot be topped. Great energy, delicious food and an inviting atmosphere. Many times, a restaurant of size like F&O, will overlook some aspect, whether it be food, service or atmosphere. It's never compromised at F&O. Well done... again. We'll be back very soon.
