The MOX project has been left reeling as President Barack Obama's budget for fiscal year 2014 not only cut its funding by $115 million, but also is looking into "alternative plutonium disposition strategies."
"This current plutonium disposition approach may be unaffordable, though, due to cost growth and fiscal pressure," the Department of Energy budget states. "While the Administration will assess the feasibility of alternative plutonium disposition strategies, resulting in a slowdown of MOX Fuel Fabrication Facility construction in 2014, it is nonetheless committed to the overarching goals of the plutonium disposition program."
The budget request sent to Congress is seeking $503 million for fissile materials disposition with the majority of the money going to the MOX project. That's $182 million less than the fiscal year 2012 budget and significantly less than funding provided in last year's Continuing Resolution.
"The president's request in FY14 is $503 million for the entire fissile materials disposition program, under that $320 million is allocated for support of continued construction on the MOX facility, at a reduced pace, while we conduct an assessment of alternative disposition options," said Andrew Bieniawski, an official for National Nuclear Security Administration's Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation program.
In fiscal year 2012, MOX was allocated $435 million, so the fiscal year 2014 reduces that by $115 million.
The proposed budget's impact on the 2,400 MOX workforce is unknown.
"I do accept that there will be workforce impact because people have to make plans determining what they expect the work is going to be. Remember, this is a Fiscal 14 proposal, and we are in Fiscal 13 right now. But because people have to make plans, I do expect it will have an impact on the workforce," said Neile Miller, NNSA acting administrator. "And, of course, we have to see in the next few weeks what that is going to look like."
Speaking recently, Shaw AREVA MOX Services President and COO Kelly Trice said that he had already started to lose staff, but that the project was funded for fiscal year 2013.
The MOX project was one of two options proposed for the disposition of the plutonium pits – the core of the nuclear weapons to be disposed of. The other project was to vitrify the waste, turning it into glass, then storing it in canisters to be placed in a geological repository. A process similar to that is currently used to handle high-level legacy liquid waste at the Savannah River Site.
The mixed-oxide fuel fabrication facility was designed and proposed to turn 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium and into reactor fuel to be burned in commercial reactors. This was part of the U.S.-Russia Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, in which both sides would alter the bomb-ready plutonium isotopically so it could not be used in bombs.
"It's clear that the mismanaged MOX program has run head-on into fiscal realities and may be set for a phase out," said Tom Clements, of Friends of the Earth and a longtime opponent of the plan. "The termination handwriting has been on the wall due to project mismanagement by NNSA and MOX Services, leading to extreme cost overruns and large schedule delays. DOE must immediately begin a renewed effort to prepare for disposition of plutonium as waste, including via vitrification in high-level waste now being processed at SRS."
U.S. Rep. Joe Wilson commented on the language of the budget Wednesday afternoon.
"I am extremely disappointed in the president's decision to reduce funding for the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility at the Savannah River Site," Wilson said. "Not only is the facility over 60 percent completed, it also allows the United States to honor its commitment to Russia to dispose of 34 metric tons of weapons grade plutonium. Halting the construction of this vital national asset is not in the best interest of our national security and will also severely hinder SRS's ability to complete its environmental cleanup mission."
Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., expressed similar sentiments.
"I have deep concerns with the president's budget proposal for the MOX program," he said. "The MOX program has been studied, evaluated and restudied. The MOX plant has always been and will remain the best plan to dispose of weapons grade plutonium."
The budget documents did repeatedly state that honoring the agreement with the Russian Federation was of paramount importance.
"The Administration recognizes the importance of the U.S.-Russia Plutonium Management and Disposition Agreement, whereby each side committed to dispose of at least 34 metric tons of weapon-grade plutonium" the budget reads.

"I went in looking at Brother Embroidery machines and was asked to see and pointed at a mid-range machine. She was good about answering questions as long as they were directed at the correct machine. Very willing to call me if they got a used machine, but when I asked the price, it was higher than I would have paid for the same machine on amazon.com for a new one. The ladies in the store seemed anxious about the boss, but he had to be consulted about everything. I chose to pay that kind of price for a sewing machine at a more responsive location.
"Fine. I was approached from a worker that was nice, informative etc. I asked if there were any discounts for military, or coupons? I was told no. I thought" it was pricey. I was not contacted for almost 6 weeks by email it was ready. I thought that was a long time Then I found a COUPON, wow (I thought they didn't have any out there). I believe the staff should inform customers when one asks for discounts , that they are out there if you are able to locate them in the valu pack, etc.

Sewing Machine Repair reviews in Columbus
It was good. My wife dealt with him and she told me that he was very personable and made sure that the machine was running properly. When we got the machine back, it was missing a foot. He came out to the house and we created a new one from a piece of material we had. He shaped it and put it back on the machine so that it was exactly the height of the other three. He didn't charge for that, so that was nice. My wife was happy with him."
We took our sewing machine to him, walked into his shop and there were sewing machines all over so I knew he was good, but busy. He was very competent and did a good job. If you are in a rush it might not work out, but if you have time it's worth it."
It was a great experience. I had dreaded taking my machines to someone who would keep them for 2 or 3 weeks. He called me back quickly made an appointment for the next day.
The staff was very courteous and professional. They gave good advice regarding my machine. Unfortunately due to the age of my machine, it was more cost effective to buy a new one than to fix it."
I dropped off the sewing machine. The owner has a large box on his patio to place machines. He repaired the machine in a couple of days. He called and we arrange a place to meet to pickup the machine. The sewing machine works great.
Hourly rate was quoted at the time of drop off. Machine was repaired but I found the charges to be excessive for the work requested."
This business is a class act from the minute you enter their shop. My cleaner's brushes quit spinning when they touched the carpet. When I came into a the shop on a Sunday afternoon they were very busy and yet apologized to me for not being able to start examining and or repairing it immediately. I left it and received a call promptly Monday morning, explaining in detail what needed to be done and what it would cost. The entire brush assembly had to be replaced but I was told my brushes would go a while longer. I know they were trying to save me money at every turn. When I picked it up I was shown the damaged piece and received a detailed explanation of how he tried but was unable to repair the faulty unit. There was never an effort to encourage me to purchase new. I was grateful because as I told him and he agreed, these older models were built to last.

From February 13-16, 2012, in Santa Clara, CA, GoGrid sponsored Cloud Connect 2012, an expo devoted to educating professional seeking to learn more about the benefits of Cloud Computing. We have been a long time sponsor of this show and each year it seems to get better, not only from the caliber of content being presented, but also in terms of the level of expertise on cloud computing that attendees profess.
As I attend many of these conferences as a sponsor, exhibitor and interested party, I have seen a great evolution not only of knowledge and education but also in the cloud services being presented by various companies at the show. A few years ago, it was all about "what is cloud" and how do we define it. The past years have allowed us to really fine-tune the definition and really move beyond this to rolling up the sleeves and implementing cloud solutions. I'm definitely encouraged by the progress of companies with their cloud innovations and the individuals looking to capitalize on this influx of knowledge.
Talking with customers and prospects looking for or implementing cloud infrastructure solutions gives and insight into what is working in the cloud and what people are really looking for. For example, a few years ago, we introduced the concept of Hybrid Hosting – the ability to mix and match virtual and physical servers within the same architecture, all managed through a single pane of glass, so to speak. In fact, many of our recent Case Studies show that hybrid environments are really the reason why these companies turned to GoGrid for their cloud solution.

What are eTextbooks?
eTextbooks are digital versions of textbooks that enhance your learning experience with personally tailored study tools and advanced tech features such as highlighting, note-taking, quick search, and more. When you buy an eTextbook, depending on the format type, you can access it from or download it to your computer or laptop, or access it from a tablet, mobile phone, or other compatible reading device.
Why choose eTextbooks over physical textbooks?Some of the reasons that students choose eTextbooks include:
What reader software do I need to access or read my eTextbook?
The reader software you need depends on the format of the eTextbook you purchased. Before purchasing, go to the product page and view the reader information under the eTextbooks tab. Also, after your order is processed, we'll email you instructions on how to download your free reader software.
How do I access my eTextbook?

For eTextbooks you have already purchased, log into your account and click on your Digital Bookshelf to view the digital rights.

Before purchasing an eTextbook, you can go to the product page and click on "View Digital Rights." For eTextbooks you have already purchased, log into your account and click on your Digital Bookshelf to view the digital rights.
What is Digital Rights Management (DRM)?
Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a set of restrictions determined by the publisher. DRM defines limitations, for example, on how much text you can copy, how many pages you can print, how many highlights you can export, and how many times you can download a book. The terms of your book license are also defined by the DRM.
The DRM information, which includes license and expiration information, can be viewed on the product page or in your Digital Bookshelf under "View Digital Rights."
When a license expires, will my notes be retained? Can I access them after expiration?
Your notes will be accessible, even after your book license is expired. Highlights and bookmarks will not be saved.
Can I print from my eTextbook?
Yes. But printing rules vary by publisher. Before purchasing an eTextbook, you can find out more information by going to the product page, clicking on "View Digital Rights," and look for "Printing" details. For eTextbooks you have already purchased, log into your account and click on your Digital Bookshelf to view the digital rights.
Can I share my eTextbook with my classmates?
No. eTextbooks are designed as a one-time download/limited-term access for a single user or laptop/mobile device. There are Encoded Digital Rights Management rules in place that disallow sharing eTextbooks. You can view limits by going to the product page and clicking on "View Digital Rights."
Can I make a back-up copy of my eTextbook, in case my computer crashes?
With the exception of Adobe eTextbooks, your eBook is stored online to prevent loss of data. For Adobe eTextbooks, you may store back-ups on removable media (CD or DVD) or copy it to an external drive. In the event of a computer crash, you may reinstall your eTextbook on the same computer from which it was originally accessed.

Incorrect information will likely cause a delay or failure in processing your order.
Multiple Product Orders
We attempt to ship all products contained in each order at the same time and in the same package. However, all your books may not come from Chegg directly or from the same partner, and may be shipped separately. Products that are unavailable at the time of shipping will be shipped as they become available, unless cancelled.
Our 21-Day ''Any Reason'' Guarantee means that items postmarked for return to Chegg within 21 days of the date you place your order may be eligible for a full refund (minus the costs of shipping and a handling and restocking fee), as follows:
Shipping to You
Chegg will make reasonable efforts to ship any book purchased or rented within two days of the transaction, but Chegg does not guarantee the shipment time. You agree to not hold Chegg responsible for shipping problems that may cause your package to arrive late or be damaged in transit. Chegg currently uses UPS as the primary means of shipping for all orders fulfilled from our warehouse (currently located in Kentucky). We strive to send any Standard Shipping orders to military addresses and PO Boxes via USPS, but cannot guarantee delivery; street addresses are preferred.
Some orders are fulfilled by Chegg partners who may employ such carriers as UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Shipping charges are calculated using third-party systems. In addition to Standard Shipping (seven to ten days) and Ground Shipping (four to seven days), Chegg offers Advanced Shipping on some titles. Additional shipping charges will apply. If available, you will see options during checkout for 2-Day and 1-Day shipping. Expected delivery times are two business days and one business day, respectively. Orders must be placed before 10:00 AM, Eastern Time to ensure 2-Day and 1-Day delivery on the next respective business days.
Delivery is available only within the United States. We do not accept orders outside the United States, including territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and any military addresses, such as APOs or FPOs.
We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive. Consider any shipping or transit time offered to you by Chegg or other parties as an estimate. We encourage you to order in a timely fashion to avoid delays caused by shipping or product availability. Tracking information will be sent by email as soon as it becomes available and the information will be updated in the ''My Account'' section on the Website.
We are committed to creating a risk-free buying experience through the Service. If you have not received your order in a timely manner and tracking information is available, please contact the shipping carrier as the first step in looking into the status of your delivery. If your textbook fails to arrive, you have 45 days from the original date of order to contact Chegg in order for Chegg to file a claim.
Return Shipping Policy (Rentals)
When you rent items through the Service, you must return those items to Chegg by the end of your rental period. (If you have purchased the book from Chegg, you do not need to return it.) The due date for return will be given to you when you place your order. You will be held responsible for any late return shipments that are not postmarked by the due date. You must ship your items to Chegg at its designated location by your due date to avoid extension or replacement fees. If you do need to keep your rental for longer than the original term, you may purchase the book or buy an extension in the ''My Account'' section on the Website.
We will provide you with a printable prepaid UPS shipping label. Simply log on to the Website and click the ''Return'' button on the ''My Account'' page. Follow the prompts to generate the label. By placing an order through the Website or the Service, you agree to use this prepaid shipping label to ensure delivery and proper accounting of your return.
If your return is not postmarked by your due date, you may be charged an extension fee. If you are charged an extension fee and the rental is not postmarked or returned by the end of the extension period, you will be charged the remaining replacement fee. Please note that this second fee is the difference between the previously authorized charges and the book's costs.
Books should be packaged appropriately to keep them from being damaged during shipping. If a book is sent back without proper packaging material (e.g., bubble wrap), and the book has visible damage, it will be your responsibility to pay for those damages.
Chegg book rental service and sales have to be taxed in every state, because we have physical property (the books) in every state. Depending on your state, this may be a rental tax, sales tax and/or use tax. Of course, tax rates are different from state to state. You are responsible for paying all such taxes.
Damage and Losses
Once in your possession, damage to or loss of a rental book is your responsibility. You will be charged replacement fees, for books that can no longer be rented. If the book is lost or stolen, a replacement fee will apply. Limited highlighting in a rental book is allowed; handwriting is not allowed. Any writing or highlighting that Chegg deems excessive or that hinders the readability of the book will be your responsibility and you will be charged for a replacement. Please follow all of our guidelines to ensure no fees will be charged to your account.
If you receive a damaged book from Chegg, it is your responsibility to contact us within 21 days to report the problem, so please inspect any item thoroughly upon receipt.
Asset Ownership
All rentals remain the property of Chegg even while the book is in your possession. You may opt to purchase any rented books from Chegg, either at the end of a rental cycle, at any point during the rental cycle. If you wish to purchase a book you have rented through the Service, you can do so by accessing your "My Account" page on the Website and clicking the ''Purchase'' button. In this case, title (ownership) transfers to you as soon as your credit or debit card is authorized for purchase value. If you purchase the title through our purchase program, title (ownership) changes hands as soon as you receive the product.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Chegg, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and their respective officers, agents, partners and employees, from and against any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, due to or arising out of your use of the Website or the Service in violation of these Terms of Use and/or arising from a breach of these Terms of Use.

"Long-lasting hydration is hard to come by but a lotion that's packed with Fair Trade wild-harvested shea butter and organic extra-virgin coconut oil does just that. Worried it will clog your pores? It's completely non-comedogenic so you're safe to use it all over your body, face included."
"We're partial to the cream — the soft, amazing-smelling cream! — made with wild-harvested Fair Trade shea butter that you just might want to bathe in."

White Rose Wreath
- Exclusive
- Online Only
- Summary
Preserved white roses accent a lively mix of hydrangea, bay, salal, pepperberry, curly willow and natural moss. Handmade exclusively for Williams-Sonoma at a family farm in Monterey County, CA. Protect from weather. 18" diam.
- Use & Care
- Upon receipt, carefully cut the cable ties securing the wreath and gently remove it from the box.
- The fresh and dried natural materials used in the wreath are intended for display indoors or in a sheltered outdoor area. Avoid direct sunlight and excessive heat, which will cause the materials to fade and become fragile. As fresh botanicals age, it is natural for their colors to fade and their leaves to curl slightly.
- If you choose to hang your wreath outdoors, protect it from the sun, wind and rain.
- It is normal for natural materials to shed. The extra fullness of our wreath is intended to compensate for any unavoidable shedding during shipping. To minimize shedding, it is best to not move it once it has been placed.
- With proper care this wreath will last up to one year.

Danshui Plant No. 2
William J. Bruns Jr.; Julie H. Hertenstein; Kelvin Liu
Price: $6.93
Danshui Plant No. 2 in southern China has a one-year contract with Apple Inc. to assemble 2.4 million iPhones. In the first three months of the contract, the plant is unable to assemble as many phones as expected and is operating at a loss. The plant manager must analyze the budget and prepare a summary of monthly operations to help identify the source of performance problems. The plant has had difficulty hiring enough workers despite raising wages over 30%. In addition, the assembly process for an iPhone is complicated, with 140 steps involving over 100 components. The plant manager considers whether a flexible budget would be more useful for uncovering problems than the static budget currently being used. Students must perform break-even and flexible budget analyses and calculate price and usage variances as they consider solutions for the plant's problems with the iPhone contract. This case, which explores the challenges of outsourcing manufacturing, can be used as an introduction to managerial accounting.
Learning objective:
Understand standard costs and how they are used to prepare budgets. Perform break-even analysis. Understand the differences in timing, origin, and purpose between static and flexible budgets. Understand the relationship between flexible budget variances and material, labor, and overhead variances. Use variances to conduct more effective performance evaluation. Identify and manage exceptions in operations.
Subjects Covered:
Breakeven analysis; Budgeting; Costing; Job outsourcing; Management accounting; Manufacturing; Outsourcing; Production; Products; Technology

My son Rowan was at the DR. today. He is 21 months old and was born 11 weeks early and weighed 2 lbs 3 oz at his smallest. he has always been short but today, he was 32 1/4 inches tall and 27 pounds!!!!! he is getting taller and is in the 20th percentile for height! The Dr. Said he is a little heavy for his height. I'm so proud of him and amazed what doctors and nurses can do to keep babies alive when they are so small. Also amazed how quickly time flies :(
Just wanted to share, such a proud mom! My amazing little miracle!

I've put on a lot of muscle in the past year. I started at the beginning of last year, doing a workout routine with lots of weight lifting. I wasn't getting very good results with my workout. My body was becoming more tone, but I wasn't putting on much muscle. I tried adjusting my workout some, but I still got the same results. A friend of mine recommended that i try a product called pure muscle pro. I hadn't heard of the product before, and I was a little reluctant to try it because of this.
I did some research on the product that my friend recommended. It's not that I didn't trust my friend, I just didn't want to try any products without learning more about them first. Read the rest of this entry

positively as well.
JB: What do you think of the current state of the sport of MMA and how it has evolved over the past twenty years? What issues are most important to you in the sport?
JH: The sport today is quite a ways from where it was. The athletes are way better, but, honestly, I think the technique has gone downhill for the most part. There are, of course, exceptions, but for the most part, I think what we have today coming up are fighters who are well-conditioned, aggressive, and want to "bang." I hate that term. To me that sounds like, "I want to close my eyes and swing as hard as I can, and if he grabs me Im going to hold on and wait for a standup." I love seeing guys who are skilled in whatever area they chose, but you have to go out there to finish fights. If you want to stand, fine, move forward and throw strikes. And when you get him hurt, go for it. You cant fight backing up all the time. If you want to grapple, fine, move forward and take him down, pass his guard, and submit him. I dont like seeing guys take someone down and then not try to pass or guys who say they want to stand but clearly have little to no footwork or defense.
JB: What else do you enjoy outside of training and fighting, and who are the individuals who have supported you most in life?
JH: Im a big gamer. I have been called somewhat of gun-nut as well. I shoot quite often. Other than that things come and go but those are the main ones. As far as support goes it would have to be Jennifer Howe, my girlfriend. She has been by my side for a long time and has always supported me without question.
JB: Last question, Jeremy, and thanks for taking the time to do this. What does it mean to you to be a fighter and how much do you enjoy it?
JH: Thats a hard one to answer because I dont know what its like to not be a fighter. This is my life and always has been.
