Toshiba may team up with Bill Gates to develop small nuclear reactors. The reactors could work for about 100 years without refueling. They could be launched fairly easily by states and cities. They provide emission-free energy. You probably remember the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
And it was run under socialism, so there is no way to know what the state of their maintenance was.
The US navy has been using graphite core reactors with complete safety in every submarine and ship. They are all much, much smaller, physically, and therefore easier to control.
There are lots of safe nuclear designs, it's the government that must be gotten out of the way to allow them to be built.

Dear Janice Jacobsen,
Thank you for contacting… wait a minute… your email address looks awfully familiar. Where have I seen that before…
I know! It's the same damn email address that a previous spammer, named Jim Guthrie, used on my blog just 2 months ago. Go ahead everyone, compare the two…
Wow! Jim, or is it Janice now?, either way you are still a dirty spammer that continues to try and peddle your "SEO services" through comment and form spamming. Oh yes, I (again) checked to see if I could find out more about you and again you left a comment and contact trail all across the Internet.
Tadah –
Your continued efforts are lack luster, at best. As you continue to spam legitimate SEO sites (which is just stupid) your shady business practices will continue to become more apparent to a wider audience.
My previous post to you, Jim or Janice, has already helped to inform one small business owner of your sticky web of deceit and hopefully this post will continue to raise awareness.
Your continued usage of comment and contact form spam is just as confusing as your gender!
Give it a rest already, stop dragging our industry through the mud and drawing negative sentiment from business owners that would benefit from SEO but are now left with a poor perception of a legitimate marketing tactic. You continue to push buttons and by doing so continue to draw unwanted attention to the parent organization that you are linked with [full details here].
Just cut the bullshit.
Matthew Diehl
P.S. I await (on pins and needles) your gender decision, pre-op and post-op photos would be great too!

Canonical Makes Ubuntu Component Catalog Public
"There has not been a comprehensive, up-to-date freely available catalog like this for a long time," said Victor Palau, Platform Services Manager at Canonical. "By making this open and easily searchable we want to speed the component selection for Ubuntu machines, and allow us and our partner manufacturers to focus on the value-added user experience."
Canonical made public its complete database of certified components for Ubuntu and Linux earlier this month. This catalog includes a selection of over 1300 certified components from 161 manufacturers and Canonical says, "With this database, corporate buyers can specify the design of their Ubuntu desktops or servers from manufacturers much more efficiently."
As far as the individuals user is concerned this list can be used to see if a machines key components they are considering will work with their preferred Ubuntu or Linux distribution.
More information on the certified components catalog can be found in the press release and the Components Catalog and Certified Hardware list can be found on the Ubuntu website.

CIA using secret Somalia facility, prison
Posted By kurtnimmo On July 12, 2011 @ 11:36 am In Old Infowars Posts Style,War on Terror | Comments Disabled
July 12, 2011
The US Central Intelligence Agency is using a secret facility in Somalia for counterterrorism purposes as well as a secret prison in the Somali capital, the magazine The Nation reported Tuesday.
The report said the CIA has "a sprawling walled compound" on the coast of the Indian Ocean which looks like a small gated community, with more than a dozen buildings behind large protective walls.
According to the magazine, the site has its own airport and is guarded by Somali soldiers, but the Americans control access.

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State
Secretary of State
United Nations
New York City
September 19, 2010
SECRETARY CLINTON: Thank you very much, Secretary General, and I want to thank you and Foreign Minister Qureshi for convening this meeting, and I especially want to acknowledge and thank General Nadeem, who gave us an excellent overview.
We've also been encouraged by the response from the private sector, particularly from concerned individuals who have contributed to the Pakistan Relief Fund, which I launched here a month ago. And we are taking that money, approximately $2 million that has been matched by Proctor & Gamble, to spend it on water purification kits in coordination with General Nadeem and the Disaster Management Authority.
The widespread destruction is going to require so much more from each of us, and the upcoming meetings of the Friends of Democratic Pakistan in Brussels in October and the Pakistan Development Forum in Islamabad in November will help to further refine what it is we are committing and make sure that we deliver on those commitments. The World Bank and the Asian Development Bank will make a vital contribution to that effort with the Damage and Needs Assessment, which they are preparing in partnership with the Government of Pakistan.
As we take these steps, we will follow Pakistan's lead. We look to the Pakistani Government to help shape a strategy that reflects the needs of the Pakistani people. And we are encouraged by the efforts that Pakistan itself is making to institute the economic and tax reforms that will help pave the way towards self-sufficiency. The international community will support Pakistan's efforts, yet we know it has to be a partnership. And the Government of Pakistan is working to raise domestic revenues and to implement new energy policies which we strongly support, along with establishing a structure to bring transparency, oversight, and accountability to the reconstruction.
The floods that have devastated Pakistan have taken weeks and have caused so much terrible damage, but the recovery will take much longer than that. And as the waters recede, the people of Pakistan must know that they will not be alone. They can count on my country and on the international community to stand with them, but we must better coordinate our efforts, we must be very mindful of what Pakistan tells us its needs are, we must make sure we are well organized in delivering the aid that we are gathering here today and in days and weeks ahead.
But I think that the quick action that you, Mr. Secretary General, along with Pakistan and so many of us here have taken, will give us a fighting chance to give the people of Pakistan what they deserve to have. Thank you.

Covington community holds service to remember former Holmes football star, bring about change
COVINGTON, Ky. -- Hundreds of people came together Saturday night to remember a young father and aspiring rapper who was gunned down in his front yard a week earlier.
Approximately 500 people, including friends, family members, religious leaders, packed into the Word of Life Church of God in Covington to attend a memorial service for 19-year-old Dasean Peterson, who was found suffering from gunshot wounds at 1705 Garrard Street on Oct. 27. He died a short time later at University of Cincinnati Medical Center.
One of the people in attendance was Quincy Tyus, who served as an assistant football coach at Holmes while Dasean played on the team. Tyus described his former player as a "good kid" and a "natural leader."
"Dasean was a great guy. He was just a natural born leader. He always took control on the field. He just wanted to be on the field," recalled Tyus.
"I'm just so happy that everyone is coming to see my baby," said Dasean's mother, Birgitte Peterson, who lost her son to what investigators are calling a dispute settled by violent street justice.
While some in attendance spent the day mourning the loss of a friend or sharing anecdotes to help remember the "fun-loving" teenager "taken far too early," others used the memorial event as a platform to push for change in the community.
Bishop Darin Miller, who officiated the service, said he hopes the young people who attended the service got the message that they need to be proactive if they want to save their "lost" generation.
"I believe this generation has lost (sight of) who they are and in order to find out who they are, they need to find out who created them," Miller said, alluding to both a higher power and the families that raised them.
Miller said Dasean's death should serve as a wake-up call to the community, which he feels hasn't done enough to build up resources and a support system for its young men and women.
"What do we have for them to keep them off the street, to keep them off of drugs, to keep them activate with their minds and stimulated, to keep them productive in society? What are we doing?" he asked. "It takes resources, the help of the whole city."
After the services, the group marched to the intersection of 17th and Garrard streets, the spot where Dasean was fatally shot, to continue the memorial. Attendees walked through neighboring streets wearing messages like "we miss you" on their clothing and demanding justice.
The march occurred one day after new details emerged in the homicide investigation -- showing a calculated, cold-blooded conspiracy to kill Desean.
Police say the eight suspects held a meeting before the fatal shooting to discuss how to execute the plan.
The motive: a feud over marijuana that police say had reached a boiling point.
Starting in Alexandria, the suspects jumped in several cars and formed a convoy to locate Dasean and retaliate, according to the report.
A little more than 48 hours after his death, four adults and two juveniles were arrested. A day later, two more adults were arrested.
Jamell Darden, James Young, Mikyle Holloway, Hassan Abdullah, Reginald Bates and Eugene Smith are charged in connection with the killing. A 16- and 17-year-old have been charged as well.
Birgitte says the people accused of killing her son are some of the same people who used to play football with him and spend time at her home "just hanging out."
"They were all (Dasean's) friends at one point in time, always in my house at one point in time," Birgitte said. "These aren't the boys I knew."
At a vigil on Wednesday, Oct. 30, she said those involved must have had "no heart" to get in a car and choose to kill someone.
"Everybody loved Sean," she said. "He would give you some shoes if you didn't have them, cleats if you needed them and he did everything for his team, he did for his friends, for his family -- that's why I don't understand why he is gone."

Lake Herman
Friday, Dec. 20, 1968
7:20 p.m. – David Arthur Farady, a 17-year-old student at Vallejo High School, was dressing for his first date with Betty Lou Jensen, a 16-year-old student at Hogan High across town. Earlier in the evening David had told his sister that he and Betty Lou might be going out to Lake Herman Road at the end of their date because he'd heard "a bunch of the kids were going out there tonight."
7:30 p.m. – David said goodbye to his parents and left his Sereno Drive home. He drove his 1961 Rambler brown-and-beige four-door sedan out of the driveway and took Fairgrounds Drive to Interstate 80 for the 1 1/4 miles to the Georgia Street exit. From Georgia David made a right on Hazelwood until he came to 123 Ridgewood Ct., a low, flat house (see picture at right). He pulled to a stop at 8 p.m.
Betty Lou was finishing getting ready for the date in her bedroom. She had often told her sister that she thought a boy from school was spying on her, and on several occasions her mother had found the gate open leading to the side of the house.
8:20 p.m. – David and Betty Lou leave, telling her parents that they were going to a Christmas carol concert at Hogan High, only a few blocks away (see picture below). They promised they'd be back by 11 p.m. Instead of going to the concert, they went to a friend named Sharon's house near the school.
9 p.m. – Sharon walked David and Betty Lou out to their car. They didn't say where they were going next.
At about the same time, out on Lake Herman Road, just east of the Vallejo City limits, two raccoon hunters, who had just parked their truck off the road, noticed a white four-door hardtop '60 Chevrolet Impala parked by the entrance to the Benicia Water Pumping Station.
9:30 p.m. – An unusual incident occurred at the entrance to the pumping station. A boy and his date had parked their sports car just off the winding, dark road so he could adjust its motor. Both saw a car, possibly a blue Valiant, coming down the road from Benicia into Vallejo. As the car passed the couple, it slowed, went a few yards down the road, and stopped in the middle of the road. They saw its white backup lights come on. The car started backing up towards them with "excruciating slowness." The boy sensed such menace in the actions of the car and its driver that he put his car into gear and sped off at high speed. The Valiant followed them. When the couple got to the Benicia turnoff, they turned. The other car continued straight ahead.
10 p.m. – Bingo Wesher, a sheepherder at the Old Borges Ranch, was checking his sheep in the area east of the Benicia pumping station when he noticed a white Chevrolet Impala sedan parked by the entrance to the station. He also saw the raccoon hunters' '59 Ford truck.
After David and Betty Lou had a Coke at Mr. Ed's, a local drive-in, they drove east on Georgia and turned left onto Columbus Parkway. At the city limits of Vallejo, David turned right onto narrow, winding Lake Herman Road. Small ranches crowded the roadside for the first couple of miles. They were headed towards a remote lover's lane. Police traveled it periodically, warning couples of the possible dangers of parking in such an isolated area.
10:13 p.m. – David pulled off the road to the right and parked 15 feet off it, facing south, in the area outside gate #10, the entrance to the Lake Herman pumping station (see picture at right). He locked all four doors and tilted the adjustable front seat back to a 45-degree angle. There were no lamp poles, and the clearing was surrounded by gently mounded hills and farmland. The spot was popular for lovers because the kids could see the lights from any car as it came around a curve in the road.
10:15 p.m. – A woman and her boyfriend drove by the entrance to the pumping station and noticed David's car. When they reached the end of the road and came back past 15 minutes later, the car was still there, but was now facing out toward the road in a southeast direction.
10:50 p.m. – Stella Borges arrived at her ranch on Lake Herman Road, exactly two and seven-tenths miles from where David and Betty Lou were parked. As she came in, the phone rang and she began a conversation with her mother. They agreed that Mrs. Borges would pick up her 13-year-old son later that night.
11 p.m. – Peggie and Homer Your drove out to Lake Herman Road in their gold '67 Grand Prix to check out the sewer and water pipes his company was installing near the pump house. When they passed David's Rambler, Mrs. Your saw David sitting in the driver's seat and the girl leaning against his shoulder. When the lights from the Your's car illuminated the gate area, she could see David put his hands on the steering wheel. After looking over the site, the Yours went to the bottom of the hill and turned around to go back towards Benicia. They could see the raccoon hunters' red pickup parked in the field 25 feet in. The two hunters, in stocking caps and hunting jackets, were in the truck. They passed the Rambler again. David and Betty Lou were in the same position.
11:05-11:09 p.m. – Another car came around the bend in the road and caught the Rambler in its headlights. Instead of passing the station wagon, however, this car pulled up next to it, to the right about 10 feet away. The figure in the car was probably in silhouette, hunched and stocky. The two cars sat side by side.
11:10 p.m. – A worker from Humble Oil in Benicia was on his way home when he passed the Rambler at the gate. He noticed both cars, but the make and color of the other car failed to register with him.
This is what may have happened next:
The new arrival finally rolled down his window and spoke to David and Betty Lou, asking them to get out of the car. The couple refused and the stocky man opened his car door. As he got out, he pulled a gun from under his dark jacket. He stood staring down at Betty Lou, whose window was open. However, instead of forcing himself through the most obvious entrance the passenger side the stranger began stalking around the car. He stopped, aimed at the rear right window just off center and fired a bullet. It shattered the glass. He moved to the left side of the car and fired a bullet into the left rear wheel housing. His intention seemed to be to herd the youngsters out of the right side of the car. He succeeded. As both of the teenagers scrambled out of the passenger side, the stranger raced around to the right side of the car.
Betty Lou had gotten out. As David slid across the seat and turned his head in the process of getting out, the man reached through the open left window with the gun and pressed the barrel behind the upper part of the boy's left ear and pulled the trigger. The bullet angled horizontally forward, leaving behind the powder burns of a contact wound. David's skull exploded.
Betty Lou screamed and ran northward, parallel with the road and toward Vallejo. Racing after the girl, gun extended, less than ten feet behind her, the man shot Betty Lou five times in a tight pattern in the upper right portion of her back. This was incredible marksmanship, considering there was a moving target, a moving gunman running over gravel on an almost totally dark country road. Betty Lou fell dead exactly 28 feet and 6 inches from the Rambler's rear bumper. She had never even reached the pavement of the road. She lay on her right side, face down, her feet to the west. David was on his back, feet pointing toward the right rear wheel. He was breathing in an almost imperceptible rasp. A large pool of blood was beginning to form about his head. The killer backed his sedan up and drove away.
11:10 p.m. – Mrs. Borges hung up the phone and got her mother-in-law and daughter for the drive to Benicia. It took her four to five minutes, at 35 miles per hour, to reach the site where David had parked. As she turned the corner of the road at the edge of the chain link fence, her headlights illuminated the dreadful sight.
She accelerated down the narrow road to Benicia, looking for help, reaching speeds of 60 to 70 miles per hour. Just north of Interstate 680 she saw a Benicia patrol car and began to honk and blink her lights to get its attention. She reported what she had seen down the road. It was 11:19 p.m.
The police cruiser proceeded with flashing lights to the scene of the attack and arrived in three minutes. The officers, Captain Daniel Pitta and Officer William T. Warner, detected shallow breathing from the boy and called for an ambulance. They checked over the Rambler. The engine was lukewarm, the ignition switched on, the right front door wide open and the rest of the doors and tailgate locked. They found an expended .22 casing on the right front floorboard of the car. Because the ground and gravel area was frozen, there were no visible tire tracks or sign of a struggle.
The officers covered Betty Lou with a wool blanket. A trail of blood, most of which had come from her mouth and nose, led back to the car. David was lying face up, a large lump visible on his right cheek. He had blood on his hands and on the sleeves of his shirt. Officer Warner made a chalk outline of the still figure.
After a few minutes, an ambulance arrived and began to take David to Vallejo General Hospital.
11:29 p.m. – Captain Pitta called County Coroner Dan Horan. Since the attack had occurred in an unincorporated section of Solano County, out of the jurisdiction of Benicia police, he notified Solano County Sheriff's Office by radio and requested a unit and an investigator.
12 a.m. – Horan arrived at the scene, along with Dr. Byron Sanford of Benicia. Sanford pronounced Betty Lou dead at the scene and ordered the body removed for autopsy. Before doing so, however, pictures were taken from as many angles as possible.
12:05 a.m. – David Farady was pronounced dead on arrival at Vallejo General Hospital.
12:05 a.m. – Detective Les Lundblad from the Sheriff's Office arrived at the scene. The search for prints, a weapon and other clues began. Nine more .22 shell casings were found. The murder weapon proved likely to be a .22-caliber J.C. Higgins model 80 or Hi Standard model 101. The bullets were Super X copper-coated long rifle ammo made by Winchester since October 1967, which made it relatively new. A ricochet mark was found on the roof of the station wagon, and very slight shoeprints were found in front of the parked car, leading to the passenger side. Also, a deep heel print was found behind the pump house beyond the locked fence.
Later that night and the next day, autopsies were performed on Betty Lou and David. From the victims and the vehicle, seven slugs were reclaimed. Four of these were in good condition, the remaining three in damaged condition. (Two were never recovered, lost somewhere in the field by Lake Herman Road.)
There was scant little for the investigators to go on. There were no witnesses, no motives and no suspects.

Great Race kicks off this weekend!
The entrants are inspected, lined up, and ready to go. The Great Race officially starts tomorrow as the participants leave from the 40th annual Minnesota Street Rod Association's Back to the Fifties car show in St. Paul, Minnesota, and rally down the Mississippi River on their way to Mobile, Alabama. Hemmings Motor News's own speedster will be right in the mix, and our own Matt Litwin will be providing coverage and commentary as he follows the race, so keep an eye on our Twitter feed for more from Matt, and keep an eye on GreatRace.com for daily results.
2013 Great Race winner to collect $50,000 in prize money
If the camaraderie and competition of the Great Race aren't enough to convince you to participate, here's another reason to consider entering: The Coker Group, parent to Coker Tire, will hand a check for $50,000 to the overall winner of this year's event.
Open to automobiles manufactured prior to 1970, the 10-day event pits contestants in classic, vintage and antique categories against one another in a series of precision driving rally events, all taking place on public roads at controlled speeds. That means the Great Race isn't just for those with competition licenses and hundreds of hours of track time to their credit, and it makes the event as much for spectators as for participants.
The 2013 Great Race route traces the Mississippi River down across the Central United States, beginning with the event's first stop in St. Paul, Minnesota on Friday, June 21. The city was chosen as the date coincides with the Minnesota Street Rod Association's (MSRA) 40th anniversary Back to the '50s car show, which runs from June 21-23 and promises to draw more than 11,000 classics and street rods, as well as close to 1,000 vendors, making it one of the largest car events in the Midwest.
Great Racers will participate in a warm-up rally on Friday, June 21, between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. and will park at the car show from 3 p.m. for car show participants to see the cars and talk to some of the race teams. Editor Matt Litwin and associate editor Jim O'Clair will be traveling with the Great Race this year as support crew and hope to tweet and report on the race's progress. Publisher/driver Jim Menneto will also be there, as will our East Coast car show team and Mari Parizo, Hemmings team navigator. If you do attend on Friday night, make sure to stop by and say hello.
The fairgrounds will also be the starting point for the first official leg of the race on Saturday morning, and the initial stage will take contestants from St. Paul to La Crosse, Wisconsin. From there, the Great Race will make stops in cities such as Davenport, Iowa; Hannibal, Missouri; Cape Girardeau, Missouri; Germantown, Tennessee; Vicksburg, Mississippi; Baton Rouge, Louisiana; and Covington, Louisiana, before wrapping up on June 30 in Mobile, Alabama. There will be lunch stops along the way, too, ensuring that as many vintage car fans as possible get a chance to see this year's participants.
In all, some 97 teams are expected to compete, in vehicles ranging from a 1915 Hudson 6-40 to a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro (or a 1969 Saab 96, for those preferring imports). Although the race starts in just two weeks, there's still time to enter for those with qualifying vehicles and a passion for time, speed and distance events, and those not taking home the grand prize will still compete for the remainder of the event's $150,000 total purse. For more information on the 2013 Great Race, visit GreatRace.com, and for more information on the Back to the '50s car show, visit MSRA.com.

Next year's Great Race to rally down the Mississippi

Sticking with the bodies-of-water theme that took the Great Race around the Great Lakes this year, the organizers of the Great Race have decided to trace the great Mississippi River for the 2013 edition.
Starting from the Minnesota Street Rod Association's Back to the '50s car show in St. Paul, Minnesota, the Great Race will then head south along the Mighty Mississip', crossing the river several times to visit states on both sides, winding up eight days later in Mobile, Alabama. According to Jeff Stumb, director of the Great Race, the route will stop for lunch on the banks of the river or its tributaries about five times and provide for overnights in river cities another six times.
The 2013 Great Race, which is open to vehicles from 1969 and earlier, will take place June 22-30. At stake will be $150,000 in prize money, and anybody who submits their entry before September 30 (this Sunday) will get a discount on their entry fee. For more information, visit GreatRace.com.
A different perspective on American classics
The automobile has been fodder for artistic interpretation for more than 125 years, and as with all art, no two people will view it exactly the same. We dubbed fine artist Mark Peterson's four-wheeled works as "Auto Impressionism," when we featured them in the Art & Automobilia spread of the March 2011 Hemmings Classic Car, for their subtle and beautiful abstractions of typically photorealistic automotive scenes.
Mark's appearance in HCC earned him some new fans, among them none less than Automotive Fine Arts Society founding member Tom Hale, the curator of the annual Invitational Art Show that is part of the Auburn Cord Duesenberg Festival, held every Labor Day weekend in Auburn, Indiana.
He has shared some of his latest pieces with us – all done in acrylic paint on canvas, in his trademark style – so we thought we'd share them here.
You'll also be able to see these paintings, and more this summer, when Mark – a native Minnesotan – exhibits at the Minnesota Street Rod Association's 39th annual "Back To The '50s" show, taking place June 22-24 at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul. For more of Mark Peterson's work, visit MarkArt500.com.

A cold and snowy start to the month saw commuting to work take on another level!
The snow came down hard and I fished out my Pinnacle Arrow Mountain Bike to attempt the ride in, check out the pictures. The roads were peaceful and it only took a few more minutes than normal to do the usual 38 mile commute.
As the snow melted I decided to ride one of my Cyclo Cross bikes as this would be slightly quicker but still using knobbly tyres. 420 miles riding so a pretty low month on the bikes.
I did however manage to run twice with friends and this was a couple of 8 milers.
As for Cyclo Cross racing there was only the one race that I did this month as snow forced Round 11 at Herne Hill to be cancelled as the Velodrome had filled up with snow! This proved to be quite entertaining as I went out training in the snow at home with a couple of the Wheelers. The deep snow was like riding through sand and was a harder workout that first anticipated.
Round 12 on of the London League Cyclo Cross League on the 27th of December took place at Footscray Activity Centre in Sidcup, Kent. Apparently the oldest race in the country. As I remembered from a couple of years ago when I did this course it was bumpy as hell and this time snowy. As the race progressed and the snow melted from the amount of cycles that were going over the course and it became once again a muddy affair. I managed 5 laps with the lead boys doing 6 and I came 56th out of 90.
The New Year will definitely bring in some real focus as I try to shed of the excess of Xmas and a below than average amount of training!
Run, Bike, Swim will be back on the agenda big time.
Safe Riding.

From the Archives: Claude Levi-Strauss
November 03, 2009
French social anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss died over the weekend at the age of 100. His theory of structuralism was a major influence on such titans of philosophy as Michel Foucault and Jacques Derrida. Back in 1967, TNR's Patrick Gallagher reviewed his seminal work The Savage Mind, which sought to transform the way Western civilization looks at the native populations. Click here to give it a read.

The World of Levi-Strauss
January 01, 1970
The Savage Mind by Claude Levi-Strauss Translated by George Weidenfeld The certainty that the boundaries of one's society define the frontiers of humanity--that all societies outside the boundary are thereby equally outside the pale of reason, mere clusters of gibbering savages--is curiously widespread. In the Western world, the certainty takes the form of a grand dichotomy, and all of mankind is split into two mutually exhaustive and contrastive camps, the primitive and the civilized.
