New EDAS Service Definition Document released (SDD v2.0)
The EC has released a new version of the EDAS Service Definition Document (EDAS SDD).
The document reflects the new services and associated added value that EDAS (EGNOS Data Access Service) will provide to its users. The addition of these new services is the consequence of EC strategy to continuously improve all the EGNOS services .
The Document provides a description of the target EGNOS service, the commitment for the community in terms of performance and the service conditions of use.
The new services that are now available to users are:
(*) Protocol defined by ESA.
EDAS, the EGNOS Data Access Service, is the third EGNOS service available to users, after the Open Service and the Safety-of-Life Service. Unlike the other two EGNOS services (SoL and OS), EDAS does not provide its products to the users through the EGNOS Signal-In-Space, but throught Internet. EDAS services are oriented to users in different domains of application such as Location Based Services (LBS), Assisted-GNSS (A-GNSS) concepts, a broad range of services in professional GNSS markets, and related R&D activities.
EGNOS (the European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service) is the European Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS) that complements the GPS system to improve the accuracy and provides integrity to the signal over most of Europe.
It is Europe's first venture into satellite navigation and a major stepping-stone towards Galileo, Europe's own global satellite navigation system for the future.
ESSP was founded in 2009 by the Air navigation services providers from France (DGAC/DSNA), Germany (DFS), Italy (ENAV)), Portugal (NAV-P), Spain (Aena), Switzerland (skyguide) and UK (NATS) and has for mission the provision of the EGNOS Open Service (OS) and Safety of Life (SoL) Service compliant with ICAO SBAS standards and recommended practices throughout the European Civil Aviation Conference (ECAC) Region.
ESSP is also in charge of the provision of the EDAS Service (EGNOS Data Access Service).

Feast of Our Lady of Mercy
- Nuestra Señora de la Merced
- Our Lady of Ransom
Commemorates the foundation of the Mercedarian Order and the apparition of Our Lady of Ransom. In this appearance she carried two bags of coins for use in ransoming Christians imprisoned by Moors. On 10 August 1218, the Mercedarian Order was legally constituted at Barcelona, Spain by King James of Aragon, and was approved by Pope Gregory IX on 17 January 1235. The Mercedarians celebrated their institution on the Sunday nearest to 1 August because it was on 1 August 1218 that the Blessed Virgin showed Saint Peter Nolasco the white habit of the Order. This custom was approved by the Congregation of Rites on 4 April 1615. On 22 February 1696 it was extended to the entire Latin Church, and the date changed to 24 September.

The Twins are spending their 24th Spring Training season at the Lee County Sports Complex in 2013. Spurred by the state-of-the-art facility, the Twins won the 1991 World Series after enjoying their most successful spring training camp in history as they posted a record-high 21 wins.
The Lee County Complex is home to the Twins and two of their minor league affiliates. It features five full and two half-fields, the centerpiece of which is a 7,500-seat stadium in which the major league Twins play their exhibition games and conduct some of their daily workouts. The main stadium was renamed Bill Hammond Stadium late in the 1994 spring season in honor of the Deputy County Commissioner who was instrumental in getting the complex built for the Twins.
The Sports Complex is the home to two of Minnesota's minor league affiliates, housing both the Miracle of the Class A Florida State League and the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League Twins.
Complete home and visiting clubhouses are included in the stadium proper, and complete facilities for the minor league teams are contained in a building adjacent to their playing fields. The Major League club's administrative offices are located in the stadium, with the minor league department's offices in the building adjacent to their fields.
The complex also features two soccer fields, a softball complex and other athletic facilities for use by Lee County organizations, plus an eight-acre water-management lake for public fishing.
The Twins trained in Orlando, Fla., from 1936 to 1990 (with the exception of the war years of 1943-45, when they conditioned in College Park, Md.), and their minor league clubs moved to Terry Park in Fort Myers in 1990, after headquartering in Melbourne, Fla., from 1964-89.
Lee County and the Minnesota Twins have announced they will break ground on the $48.5 million renovations to the Lee County Sports Complex (LCSC) and Hammond Stadium.
Designed by Populous, a global sport and convention center architecture firm, the renovations will be completed in two phases.
Phase 1 renovations at LCSC are expected to be completed by the spring of 2014 and will include:
The player development academy elevates the facility beyond a traditional Spring Training facility with the goal of creating a year-round, multi-discipline, residential training center for players and staff. The residential component of the academy will be paid for by the Twins organization, which is contributing $6 million to cover that component and concessions equipment.
Phase 2 additions and renovations at Hammond Stadium are expected to be completed by February 2015 and will include:
All construction, which is being managed by Manhattan Twins Joint Venture (a partnership between Manhattan Construction Company, Chris-Tel Construction and Casey Construction), is expected to be completed in time for Spring Training 2015.
The Lee County Complex is located south of the city of Fort Myers near Interstate Highway 75.

The nuclear industry needs
to satisfy the multi-criteria approach to risk that banks take when
they decide whether to invest in a large infrastructure project.
Only then, can it expect to attract this form of financing to
nuclear new build projects, writes Ron Cameron on the latest WNN Editorial article.
Specifically,says Cameron, banks look for
long-term certainty on price, stable government policy, industry
reputation, regulatory certainty, the process for addressing
planning and environmental issues and public acceptance, in
addition to the economics of the project.
Cameron argues that European wholesale electricity
markets are currently not favourable to nuclear power, however.
That, he says, is because the role of nuclear in offsetting the negative
effect on price of feed-in tariffs and grid priorities for
renewable forms of energy is not adequately recognised. The cost to
the system of having intermittency of supply is often borne by the
nuclear plants through their role in providing back-up generating
capacity or otherwise by the consumer through higher electricity
prices, subsidies or taxes. With no level playing field for nuclear
in liberalised electricity markets, there is a real difficulty in
seeing where nuclear new build is going to come from in Europe,
without government action. Cameron thinks that there is a need to explicitly recognise the
advantages that nuclear power provides to stabilise these markets
long term, to support the move to a low carbon economy and to help
with security of supply.

With the average age of European Union (EU) nuclear
plants now at around 30 years, bringing enough new capacity online
to match that lost through the closure of old nuclear plants will
present a major challenge, writes Stephen Tarlton.
Currently, 131 nuclear power reactors with a combined capacity
of around 122 GWe operate in 14 EU member states. This accounts for
over one-quarter of the electricity generated across all of the
EU's 28 member states. Half of the EU's nuclear electricity is
produced in only one country, namely France.
But with the French government planning to cap nuclear capacity
at its current level of around 63 GWe, along with the
politically-motivated decisions by two member states (Germany and
Belgium) to exit nuclear power over the next decade, a decline in
EU capacity up to around 2030 is all but inevitable.
In order to reverse this expected short-term decline, the new
generation of nuclear reactor designs needs to be firmly
established in the EU. Today, nuclear plant construction is
underway in only three EU member states - Finland, France and
Slovakia (although the reactors under construction in Slovakia are
Russian VVER-440 units, a design that is unlikely to be built
again). Beyond these units, the countries that are most likely to
have additional new nuclear units in operation by 2030 are Finland,
Hungary, Lithuania and the United Kingdom. Though less likely,
further new units by 2030 might also be seen in Bulgaria, Czech
Republic, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia and
According to a new report titled New Nuclear in Europe - 2030
Outlook by the World Nuclear Association (WNA), the outcome of the
nuclear projects in these 13 countries - but especially the two
EPRs currently under construction in Finland and France, along with
the planned new reactors in Finland, Hungary, Lithuania and the
United Kingdom - will determine whether the expected short-term
decline in the EU's nuclear industry will be reversed.

In a new feature article on World Nuclear News scientist Tim Tinsley, from the UK's National Nuclear Laboratory describes the work being carried out to develop a new nuclear power source that will help explore the outer reaches of the solar system. Most space probes are powered either by solar panels or by radioisotope power sources. Solar panels work well in the inner solar system, although the solar-powered Mars rovers have to curtail activities over-night and during Mars winters due to a lack of power. Radioisotope power sources, that use radioactive decay heat to generate electricity provide a more reliable source of power, allowing the Mars Curiosity rover to travel further and work longer, and probes like Voyager, Cassini and the New Horizons probe currently speeding to Pluto to explore the outer reaches of our solar system and interstellar space.
However, supplies of the main isotope used - Pu-238 - are running short. The work being done at NNL would extract americium-241 from plutonium separated from used nuclear fuel. Although the Am-241 produces less power per unit weight than Pu-238, the separation process would be far less expensive.
It also strikes that Am-241 also has a longer half-life than Pu-238, meaning Am-241 power sources should last longer. Voyager 2 launched in 1977. Although its power source has lasted an impressive 37 years already, the gradual decay of its Pu-238 power source, with a half-life of 87.7 years means that the probe will no longer be able to operate beyond 2020. An Am-241 source would have a half life of 432 years, meaning the fall in output from a Am-241 RPS would be much slower, potentially allowing probes to operate for much longer.
A fascinating brochure has been published outlining the story of the Onagawa nuclear power plant and how it withstood the earthquake and tsunami of March 11, 2011. It is available here.
The report reviews the differences between what happened at Fukushima Daiichi, Fukushima Daini and Onagawa.
Onagawa faced a stronger earthquake and tsunami of similar height to Fukushima Daiichi, at around 13m. The earthquake disrupted external power supplies, but with a combination of one remaining external power line and six of the eight diesel generators the plants shut down and cooling systems started as planned - in fact Unit 2 was in the process of starting up as the earthquake struck and reached cold shutdown a few minutes later.
When the tsunami struck the damage caused to Onagawa was much less severe than at Fukushima Daiichi and Daini, because the Onagawa plant had been built at a height of 14.8m, higher than the tsunami waves. There was some disruption to unit 2 cooling, but all reactors achieved cold shutdown as planned.
The preparedness and efforts of staff at Onagawa were recognised when they were presented with a WANO (World Association of Nuclear Excellence) Award for Nuclear Excellence.
Onagawa staff whose combined efforts earned them a WANO Nuclear Excellence Award
Perhaps even more remarkable is how the Onagawa nuclear plant became a place of refuge for people from the area surrounding the plant, where many had died, and even more had been made homeless.
On March 11, 1,500 people working at the site were stranded, without any reports how their friends and family outside the plant had fared. From the devastated surrounding area 50 people sought shelter at the plant. Eventually the site would become a refuge for 364 people from the local community.
Local refugees offered shelter in Onagawa gymnasium
The article shows how robust nuclear power plants are when back up power supplies and flood defences are properly in place. Since the accident at Fukushima 'stress tests' have been carried out at reactors around the world to ensure that plants are sufficiently prepared. Even at Onagawa defences have been strengthened even more.
When the third report from the IPCC, on mitigation of climate
change, was published on Sunday the world's media focussed on its
key messages - greenhouse emissions are rising, the threat of climate change is getting stronger, serious and radical international action is required, but we can still avoid the worse effects of climate change if we take action now and for the long term.
But what was released on Sunday was just the "Summary for
Policymakers", a 30-odd page negotiated skim of the
actual report, which contains more a thousand pages of carefully referenced
scientific assessment.
The conclusions of the full IPCC report are clear, the energy supply system is the largest contributor to global
greenhouse gas emissions and more action in this sector is required
now. The IPCC report says around 80% of our electricity must be supplied by low carbon sources such as nuclear, renewables and CCS by 2050 and
to eliminate polluting coal, oil and gas generation by the end of
the century.
The IPCC concludes that no single mitigation option in the
energy supply sector will be sufficient to hold the increase in
global average temperature change below 2°C above pre‐industrial
levels. Embracing all options will give us the greatest chance of
avoiding the harmful effects of climate change in the most
cost-effective way.
Nuclear energy is recognised as having some of the lowest
greenhouse gas emissions for each unit of electricity generated,
even when the full lifecycle emissions are included. Average
emissions from nuclear are 12 grams of CO2 per kWh, compared to 11
gCO2/kWh for onshore wind, 12gCO2/kWh for offshore wind, 24
gCO2/kWh for hydro and 28-47 gCO2/kWh for solar. Biomass has no
direct emissions, but infrastructure and supply chain emissions
averaged a significant 230gCO2/kWh. Emissions for gas and coal
averaged 490 and 920 gCO2/kWh respectively. Carbon Capture and
Storage (CCS) helped reduce fossil fuel emissions, but even with
CCS fossil fuel emissions were between 160-220 gCO2/kWh.
For uranium resources, the IPCC report notes that if all
conventional uranium occurrences are considered there would be
enough uranium to meet current levels of demand for 250 years.
Closing the nuclear fuel cycle with reprocessing and recycling of
fuel through fast reactors could extend that by more than 50 times
(to more than 12,500 years) and reduce the amount of waste
generated and disposal required. Thorium too could extend the
nuclear resource further.
Tackling climate change and weaning ourselves off our addiction
to fossil fuels for electricity generation can seem daunting. But
as has been demonstrated by France, a commitment to nuclear energy,
in partnership with renewables, can virtually eliminate fossil
fuels from electricity generation in little more than two decades -
and supply some of the lowest cost electricity in Europe.
Nuclear energy supplies low carbon electricity reliably and
affordably. The world needs nuclear energy to tackle climate

The second WNU Summer Institute (WNU SI) Alumni Assembly, held from 31 March – 4 April 2014, was a great success. It was hosted by Oak Ridge National Laboratory in the USA and brought together Alumni from across the nine Summer Institute classes, with almost 70 representatives from 15 countries as diverse as China, India, Sweden, France, Brazil, Nigeria, Germany and Canada. We are really pleased that so many nuclear companies are continuing to invest in the young leaders in their companies.
The main aim of the Alumni Assembly is to continue the SI's legacy of engaging the next generation of nuclear leaders from across the globe, providing a valuable opportunity to further solidify the global Alumni network of peers, and to build upon the foundations laid down at the SI. The programme addressed three main aims: professional development, leadership and peer-to-peer engagement. We heard from a number of great invited leaders, including US Assistant Secretaries Pete Lyons and Tom Countryman, Cameco Vice President Ken Seitz, US NRC Commissioner and appointed OECD/NEA DG William Magwood, Exelon CEO Amir Shakarami and Agneta Rising, WNA DG and WNU President. Presentations from Alumni were also excellent, and we were given some great information, including updates on the nuclear programmes in China, Finland and the UK, and new developments on waste management, safety, security and safeguards, training, research and public involvement in decision making process.
Participating Alumni had the opportunity to choose a topic of interest for in-depth professional development training over two full days. These were taken in small Groups and we were able to learn from experts from Oak Ridge and across the world. These focussed on research reactors and isotope production, safeguards and inspector training, safety culture and training on security for the technical community.
The programme was complimented by a range of technical visits including tours of High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR), the ORNL supercomputer, the X-10 Graphite Reactor, Safeguards Laboratory and the Canberra Crystal Growing Facility. The Alumni also participated in a range of social activities, both informal and formal, and we were very pleased to be able to attend a reception hosted by the University of Tennessee at the UT Football Stadium, the 3rd largest college sports stadium in the USA. All these different elements allowed the participants to not only re-establish their relationships with those from their own SI year but also network with people from different years, consolidating and extending the network and creating a solid foundation for the future of the global nuclear industry. It was a motivating and inspiring event:
- "The WNU SI was a transformative experience, and the Alumni Assembly allows one to sustain that tranformation over the years" ( Shehab (Sunny) G. Mustafa, Ontario Power Generation)
We are looking at the possibilities to host the WNU Summer Institute Alumni Assembly 2016, with hopes to organize it in the Asia to encourage the participation of more Alumni from that region.The WNU and the participating Summer Institute Alumni would like to thank Oak Ridge National Laboratory for all their support and for allowing us access to their impressive facilities. Thank to those who supported the event through sending participants, speakers or sponsorship.
James Lovelock was interviewed on BBC's Newsnight on 2 April, covering a range of the many environmental issues where he's made an immense contribution, including the very future of humanity itself.
Addressing energy, Newsnight's Jeremy Paxman asked what had gone wrong about the perception of nuclear energy. Lovelock said that he wished he knew. He said nuclear energy was a "normal natural thing for the universe." and that our not using it was "quite mad."
Lovelock speculated one reason was that humanity had guilt about having first used nuclear in wartime, that prevented us using it as a "safe, clean and nearly perfect source of energy".
On other energy sources, Lovelock proclaimed himself as "fairly neutral" on gas fracking, although on potential impacts such as water course pollution he was worried. However, he thought countries like the UK may have no choice but to burn methane, in the absence of other available fuels, as he could imagine nothing was much worse environmentally than a sudden cessation of electricity supplies.
The programme is available for UK viewers to watch again until 9 April at http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0400593/newsnight-02042014
Binika Shah joined the World Nuclear Association in February
2014 as a Senior Project Manager. She was recently interviewed by Radiation Regulator journal. Below is a section of the interview she gave to the journal.
Tell us about your career so far.
Having been sponsored by the UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) during
University, I graduated and was afforded a placement in their
central environmental policy unit. Although unrelated to my
academic qualification (having studied Mathematics and Physics at
undergraduate level), I had always been passionate about
environmental issues and took naturally to the challenge.
I followed this placement with a gap to go trotting around the
world, and returned to land a contract with the UK Department for
Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs in supporting the establishing
of an agency (then known as the "Government Decontamination
Service"). At the agency, I managed several Government-funded
science and technology projects, looking to enhance the UK's
chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear capabilities, as
well as managing other technical information. This contract was
followed by a post as an environmental consultant at an engineering
consultancy firm called Atkins. The main focus of my work ended up
being around legislation and policy development relating to
radioactive substance management, with key projects being the
revision of UK radioactive substance regulation, developing a
scheme to demonstrate competence to the regulator in managing
radioactive waste in the UK, and being the technical preparer for
the 3rd Periodic Evaluation of Progress towards the
Objective of the Radioactive Substances Strategy (in the North-East
Atlantic Ocean). After several years at Atkins, I moved to the
World Nuclear Association (WNA) in February 2014 as a Senior
Project Manager.
What is the WNA and how does your role fit into their
WNA is a global
organisation that promotes nuclear energy and supports the many
companies that comprise the nuclear industry through the entirety
of the fuel cycle (i.e. from uranium mining to decommissioning and
de-licensing), together with its supply chain and associated
industries. It provides a forum for sharing knowledge and insight
into evolving industry developments, sharing international best
practice to strengthen the nuclear industry's capabilities, and
speaking authoritatively in relevant key international forums, such
as the IAEA, OECD/NEA, ICRP, etc. that affect the policy and public
environment in which the industry operates.
Many people may be familiar with the WNA website which provides
lots of really useful information on nuclear energy - it is worth
taking a look if you are unacquainted with it. Also, World Nuclear News has become the leading online news service on
developments related to nuclear power, and its readership isn't
limited to the nuclear industry. One final thing to mention is the
World Nuclear University which provides training and education on
key nuclear industry-related topics to the next generation of
nuclear industry leaders
My primary role within WNA will be to support the
radiological protection and the waste management &
decommissioning working groups. These are essentially forums
through which the industry shares leading good practice, conducts
analysis, prepares position statements, and develops and implements
strategies to advance collective interest in the safe and expanding
worldwide use of nuclear power. The working groups are made up of
representatives mainly from member organisations, and we often
invite notable interested parties and relevant other organisations.
I will also be attending international forums, such as relevant
IAEA safety standards committees, to understand key developments,
and to provide a voice for the industry in these areas.
What do you see as the greatest challenges
I would just like to focus on one area. The question in my mind
is always around the waste, particularly when thinking about the
sustainability of nuclear power. There are solutions out there, but
the focus for industry often tends to be on the front-end as well
as safety. In my opinion, the back-end of the fuel cycle is
critical to the success of a project. Many governments around
the world have taken this on board, and are building into the
regulatory systems the need to place due consideration on waste
management and decommissioning during the early planning stages,
but this is still not the case everywhere. Applying the waste
hierarchy throughout the fuel cycle is crucial and the industry
needs to take this on board.
How will you assess your success?
I'm not sure that I can make this into something that is "SMART"
(specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-framed),
despite being titled a "project manager". I'd like to think that I
will be supporting effective working groups that are thriving and
doing some really good work to influence the industry and leading
effective discussions with the wider international forum. For
example, for radiological protection, this may be a system of
radiological protection that can be applied by the industry in a
logical manner and can be communicated to an external audience
including public, decision-makers and media. For waste management
and decommissioning, an example could be waste minimisation through
effective and maximal recycling.
How do you
see the role of regulators?
The role of the regulator is critical to ensuring the safety of
nuclear power plants across the world, and this should be done in
an independent and transparent manner to ensure the credibility
with the public, first and foremost. But this should not be done in
such a way as to be detrimental to the industry; regulators need to
work with the industry to ensure that standards are applied in a
fair manner, and giving due consideration to social, economic and
environmental impacts.
The European Commission is investigating whether the UK
Government's proposals to support the construction of the Hinkley
Point C nuclear power plant is legitimate under European Union
competition rules. Plenty of people think that EDF, the company
standing behind the nuclear station, will be receiving a pretty
generous subsidy to the detriment of alternatives. The Guardian
newspaper (3 March 2014) quoted the chair of the UK and Ireland
association of Nuclear Free Local Authorities, Councillor Mark
Hackett, as saying that the project is "the most expensive" power
plant in history and "could choke off the nascent renewable energy
revolution in the UK [and] turning off investors in offshore wind
and solar at a time when such industries are rapidly taking off
elsewhere in Europe". Another critic, Peter Atherton of Liberium
Capital, a London-based broker and corporate finance advisor,
asserted in The Spectator magazine (22 February 2014) that the
government "has agreed to buy electricity at twice the current
market price … which looks like financial insanity".
This is also one of the possible concerns that the European
Commission is examining. In a letter to the UK Government on 18
December 2013 the Competition Commissioner Joaquín Almunia
indicated that it was not clear whether the Hinkley Point C project
would "crowd out" other low-carbon technologies, such as biomass,
hinder the import of electricity from the rest of Europe, and
reduce the incentive to improve energy efficiency.
The Commission's careful language, however, indicates that not
all is what it appears. Firstly there is nothing in the UK
Electricity Market Reform package that disadvantages renewable
energy sources. Renewables are offered the same help as nuclear
power: they are eligible for an infrastructure investment guarantee
from the government and a Contract for Difference arrangement to
help them finance their projects, whether it is the biomass
conversion of the Drax coal-fired thermal power plant or for an
off-shore wind turbine. The government published indicative 'strike
prices' for renewable technologies in the range of £95 to £305 per
megawatt hour in December 2013:
It has also agreed a strike price for Hinkley Point C of
£92.50/MWh, below that available to any of the low-carbon
Secondly, many people fail to appreciate that the strike price
in a Contract for Difference (CfD) is not a guaranteed price for
the electricity. A CfD is a bet between the generator (the punter)
and its counterparty (a special government-sponsored enterprise) on
the outcome of the competition to sell into the electricity market.
If the outcome is a power price (the 'reference price') higher than
the bet (the 'strike price') then the generator compensates the
counterparty; if the power price turns out to be lower than the
'strike price', then the counterparty compensates the generator.
This bet is linked to the sale of the electricity by the power
generator. If Hinkley Point C fails to sell its power to the grid
then it receives no revenue and no compensation (or penalty) from
the CfD. Like any other generating plant Hinkley Point C will have
to compete in an open market to sell its power. On a windy day it
might not be able to beat the price offered by a wind turbine array
in the Bristol Channel. In fact, and thirdly, the wind array has an
additional advantage since renewable energy sources have priority
access to the grid. If anything, the playing field is stacked
against nuclear power in favour of renewable energy sources and
there is no reason to suppose that competition between generators
within the UK or abroad will be distorted as a result of the proposed strike price.
De-carbonizing the electricity system is not a cheap option but
without a slice of nuclear power for the around-the-clock base-load
generation the transition will be more expensive than it needs to
be. If the government did not support alternatives to fossil fuels
then greenhouse gas emissions would continue to grow, as the German electricity market demonstrates. The UK has a
deregulated and unbundled energy market and the contract for
difference is a way of persuading generating companies to invest in
low-carbon technologies which otherwise would not make business
sense while preserving competition between electricity suppliers.
Can debates over radioactive emissions from coal and nuclear or greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear and renewables distract from the real environmental impacts of electricity generation?
A lot of good discussion takes place on WNA's facebook page. If you use facebook, we'd be happy if you "liked" our page and join in.
On one particular exchange the debate was taking place in the light of the recent EU Energy and Climate Change plan, which creates more scope for nuclear energy to play a role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the EU. Understandably, the debate focussed on the different forms of environmental impacts caused by different generation sources.
It was suggested that nuclear proponents repeatedly claim that radiation exposure in the vicinity of coal fired power plants is much higher than for nuclear plants. WNA's own take on this is that this claim is often not correct, as generally the pollutants from coal fired power stations that contain the naturally occurring radioactive materials are retained - see our info paper on NORMs for more. However, other sources suggest it may be true that in some cases, for example this US Environmental Protection Agency self-assessment form suggests radiation exposure from living near coal power plants is more than three times higher than living near nuclear plants.
But this debate is a distraction. Radiation exposure levels from either coal or nuclear generation are at levels that are not harmful. Focussing on radiation exposure completely misses the point in terms of the most harmful environmental and health effects of electricity generation.
Debates of this kind are similar to those over whether wind, solar or nuclear have higher greenhouse gas emissions. Study after study has shown that, aside from exceptional cases, greenhouse gas emissions from nuclear and renewables are very low, and more importantly are much lower than for fossil fuels, as shown in a review of LCA studies WNA published a couple of years ago. It's like arguing whether an apple or an orange has more fat in it when the point is that you are having fruit instead of a packet of crisps.
Not that it is just greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels that can be harmful. In China alone, the smog-like pollution from coal power plants is thought to be responsible for a quarter of a million deaths a year http://www.theguardian.com/.../china-coal-emissions-smog.... This is on top of any long term CO2 impacts. If you happen to be one of those who doubts the case for climate change then there are plenty of other reasons to still support a move away from fossil fuels, particularly coal.
No one should underestimate the effort required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to the levels required. No single technology - be it nuclear, solar, wind or energy efficiency - is going to be enough. All will be needed, and for that reason no one low carbon technology should hamper the potential for growth of any other.What is needed is a practical approach with an emphasis on energy diversity among low carbon options. Countries like Sweden and France have already shown that you can have a very secure low carbon generation sector with different mixes of renewables and nuclear. In contrast, Germany seems to be showing that cutting one option - nuclear - out of the mix means greater fossil fuel use.

Work on Atlanta's new Ferris wheel in downtown Atlanta began Wednesday morning.Named Skyview Atlanta, the glass-enclosed ride will rise about 200 feet in the air and feature seating for up to six people. It will operate year-round, according to the ride's developers.The 200-foot tall Ferris wheel makes its home in the southern end of Centennial Olympic Park, in what is now a public parking lot located next to The Tabernacle. It will be easy walking distance from World of Coke, The Georgia Aquarium, CNN Center, Phillips Arena, The Georgia Dome, and the Georgia World Congress Center.
On Wednesday, crews will pour concrete for the foundation of the area where patrons will wait in line to take a ride. Also, an additional estimated 15,000 lbs. of cement -- about three truckloads -- will go into the foundation of the Ferris wheel, itself.
"You can expect a really great view of Atlanta, of all the exciting things that are down there. It's a little bit of a thrill being up that high in a fully glass-enclosed, climate conditioned gondola," said Jason Evans, of SkyView Atlanta.Developers had said previously that the ride would cost $13.50 for adults and $8.50 for children. The ride would go around four times and last about 15 minutes, according to developers. On Monday, Evans said that there could be a slight adjustment in that ticket price.The ferris wheel is set to open on July 2.

It worked in 80's, let's give it another shot.
NBC has announced that Bill Cosby might be returning to the Peacock network in a new sitcom.
Nothing is set yet, but word is that the 76 year old has gotten together with a writing staff to hammer out a script for a new 30-minute sitcom that would feature Mr. Cosby as the patriarch of a multi-generational family.
If you were alive in the 80's, you'll remember the HUGELY successful "The Cosby Show". Sounds like NBC is hoping that lightening strikes twice. CBS tried the same thing back in 1996 with "Cosby", which only ran for four seasons.
In case you don't remember the original hit that ran for 8 seasons (1984-1992) here's a little reminder for you.
Bill Cosby...Back On TV?
It worked in 80's, let's give it another shot.

This is an exciting cooperative table game where only quick harvesting of the trees carrying cherries, apples, pears and plums prevents the snitching of fruits by the brazen raven. All players work together to harvest the fruit and defeat the raven. The colored and polished wooden fruits, the baskets and the bright game board make this cooperative game especially nice.
This classic game for 2 or more players teaches color recognition and cooperation. All players win or lose together. A favorite in Waldorf-inspired homes. Made by Haba in Germany. Ages 3+.

36 week appointment today. 24 hour came back 724, so lower than last time and still close enough to my baseline of 611 to avoid worry. Platelets and liver numbers great!
The baby had rolled onto his side by the time I got to the appointment, so they decided to wait and see if he turns head down on his own. By now, I think he is, but it's so hard to be sure, sometimes! BPP was great, as usual.
Only downside is that my blood pressure was above 140/90 again, and didn't come down enough after resting on my left for a bit, so the OB is adding a calcium channel blocker to my meds. Another 24 hour tomorrow, and the next appointment is on Monday, which will be 36 weeks, 6 days!
I'm 50% effaced, no dialation yet, so I'm hoping I can keep going a little longer to get set up better for a possible induction. I avoided C-section last time, really hoping to have another vaginal delivery this time!
So close! Still have a few things to do, like call around and line up a pediatrician!

Okay, dunce of the class here. Do I add more fabrics around the initial block and embellish those, or do I simply embellish a "round" of the original block?

I can only speak for myself...but I would be happy to have you work on my block Erma! We all got started the same way...just jump on in the pool...the water is fine!
I am very interested. Love, love embellishments. So over the next few days let me brainstorm about My Block. If I can gather my thoughts and stitches into a good foundation block, I will sign up. Thank you for giving us alittle time to commit. And I appreciate any and all pics or urls to look at...
I am going to try it. I like sitting and looking at stitching books in the evening. Time to put all those books to work. I hope I don't ruin y'alls work.
Craft Happens!
I am thinking about this . Have been wanting to do more CQ work for a while and have lots of supplies stored up. Just need to make sure that I won't over-commit myself by jumping in.
Then there is the big decision on what color to go with . . .
I'm in. Finished the block I am going to send out.
Me! I will send you a pm.
Edited to say - I am a newbie as well, have joined several RR and have learned so much each time. Especially when the blocks come around and you can see what others have created. Practice, practice, practiceThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Cr8tve1,
question? after you make the block you want to use in the RR do you yourself embellish any part of it or send to the first person n a k e d ?
PatsyThis message has been edited. Last edited by: califgal,
ok colleen let me think about it. i'm not very good at making cq blocks. let me try and make a block and see if i can do this, if i can i will let u know that i'm in. just give me a little time
Well Coleen evidently you caught my sign up last night before I had second thoughts. So you caught me. I'm really in, lol. Its beena while since I did any crazy quilting, hope I remember how to do it.
I'd like to see your block. Did you do grey to black or white to grey or grey to silver? Or just shades of grey?
I have all my fabrics pulled and will work on mine tonight. Mine is purples, will post pic as soon as I am done.
I would like to see yours Colleen.
alexemmarose's nakid grey blockThis message has been edited. Last edited by: alexemmarose,
Thanks...I see a dark grey swan and some silvery reeds...A lot more idea's when you can see the block.
I can't wait to see all of your beautiful work when this is done. Looking forward to retirement so I can sit down and maybe use some of the tons of CQ stuff I have accumulated. Please post lots of pictures
I'm thinking about it. I already have a block I made a year ago and never started it. Let me get my garden plowed first and then I'll feel like I have the time to put into each block.
alexemmarose - please take me off the list. My plate just got really full and I won't have the time I thought I would to devote to this. Thanks.
I have made it far enough to select my fabrics. They are on the cutting board, and I'm hoping to get a block pieced today or tomorrow!
My block is ready to mail so put me in on that list. Perhaps you could group us depending on the stage of our block?
Why don't you start marking who has mailed...and when we all get them done...you can give us our group info and we can mail within say...three days.
Mine got finished today! I added a bit of lace...now, just have to do a little "booklet" so y'all can write about your ideas and such in completing your portions of the block.
Are Needlecrazy, Califgal, LisaTX, and TerryOH going to participate in this CQ? I didn't see their names added to the top...
Holee, said she might after she gets her garden plowed.
TerryOH might have been offering samples.
I was just offering samples to help others to decide. Crazy is just not my style.
I would like to join in this . . . I love the monochromatic idea, just don't know what color I'm going to do. I'll just have to go and play in my sewing room and see what inspires me.
Please add me to your list.
I would LOVE to join in, but after thinking about my current commitments, I just can not do it . My color would have been sepia, using some of the Wizard of Oz fabric that I have in the sepia colors. I'll have to save that idea for another time. I'm in the middle of a quilt for DD#1 and I need to make it a priority to finish.
Will be watching the progress and drooling over everyone's pictures!
Here is my ***** block, purple of course! lol
I sent you a PM with my information for this - did you get it?
Thanks . . .I got my block all done and ready to mail. I'll try to post a picture of it later - not very good at that and will need some help.
Got my block finished.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Cr8tve1,
I have a terrible time getting photos posted... so you may not see my block. I pulled fabric today...found lots of greens so the block will be various shades/textures in green. And I will have the block ready to go by the mailing date.
Sometimes I laugh so hard tears run down my leg! Lois
I'm okay with 1 May, if everyone else is.
I can be ready for May 1 if everyone else is

May 1st is OK with me, too.
Sometimes I laugh so hard tears run down my leg! Lois
Hooray! My block is done and it's really, really GREEN!!!!!!! I'll take its photo tomorrow and try to post it here.
Sometimes I laugh so hard tears run down my leg! Lois
May 1st is good for me. I am still looking for a couple of kits I bought a long time ago. One was in Whites and the other was greens. If I don't find it by tomorrow or get overpowered by my stash I will have to get into the fat quarter stash and choose a color on my own. I have found more UFO's while looking so I have a lot of work to take to the sewing meets once a week.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Happy Erme,

Kisses are being dispensed around the Center for Religion, Spirituality, and Social Justice (CRSSJ). Well, Hershey's kisses, that is. But the giddy mood is infectious nonetheless.
Sure, some jaded college students may dismiss the sentimentality of the holiday along with sweets, sparkly heart stickers, or Celine Dion love songs, but there is something more happening here at the CRSSJ — an innocent excitement for Valentine's Day rarely experienced after elementary school.
Grinnell students are making Valentine's Day cards for local senior citizens from some of the nearby assisted living facilities. Some of the cards are quite beautiful and creative, while others, like mine, are … well... it's the thought that counts. Right?
Valentines for Seniors is an event the CRSSJ has been supporting for the past three years, associated with the Adopt-a-Grandparent program and the Grandparents Service Group. However, Valentines for Seniors has been going on in Grinnell for nine years now.
"Valentines for Seniors" is an event the CRSSJ has been holding for nine years now, associated with the Adopt-a-Grandparent program.
Michael Hunt, Lilly Religious Life Intern, led the organization of the event. "Students realize the desire for everyone to have love in their lives and experience love," he says. "It's a chance to brighten someone's day." Although Valentine's Day is sometimes considered a couples-only holiday, Hunt expands the spirit of Valentine's Day to include everyone. "Valentine's Day is about knowing you're loved, that you love others."
Zasha Russell '11, leader of the Grandparents Service Group, agrees. "Valentine's Day gives us the opportunity to show we care."
Some had specific grandparents in mind, but most were addressed to no one in particular. They will be distributed to seniors on Valentine's Day to likely great excitement from the recipients. One student said making the valentines not only got her into the holiday spirit — it was also rewarding to know someone would be enjoying a little reminder that they are cared for. It seems that by merely spreading love around, these students got to keep a little bit of it for themselves.
If you want to become involved in the Adopt-a-Grandparent program, contact Michael Hunt or theGrandparent Service Group for more information.

The third trailer for Star Trek Into Darkness has been released and, in case you couldn't tell from the first two previews, this is most definitely a J.J. Abrams production. The Lost executive producer, who put his magic touch on the first wildly successful Star Trek reboot back in 2009, is bringing back his brand of lens flares, all of his wide-eyed dramatic performances, and sweeping scores for the upcoming sequel.
While some of the visuals in the latest clip are ones fans have already seen - like Chris Pine running through a red forest and jumping off a cliff into the ocean - there's certainly no lack of drama. Lines like ''Darkness is coming'' and ''The ship's dead, sir, she's gone'' (wait, did they mean the U.S.S. Enterprise?!) should send goosebumps through any Trekkie eagerly awaiting this noticeably darker follow-up. (Hey, it's right there in the title).
Watch the entire trailer - which includes scenes of Benedict Cumberbatch in full-on bad guy mode and the crew's warning to ''go get this son of a bitch'' - below and check back later for Hollywood.com's Star Trek expert Christian Blauvelt's full dissection of the latest preview.
What do you think of the third Star Trek Into Darkness trailer? Did it disappoint compared to the first two or just make you that much more excited for then the film hits theaters on May 17?

Gentle Solutions for Diaper Rash
By Heather O'Neill
Experts agree that the best protection against diaper rash is prevention—keeping your baby's bottom clean and dry with frequent diaper changes. But occasionally even the most fastidious parents will remove their baby's diaper to find an angry red rash.
Then what? Melody Wong, ND, a naturopath at Natural Health California in Palo Alto, recommends that her clients first try switching diapers. "Plastic diapers trap heat and moisture and become a comfortable environment for bacteria and yeast to grow and irritate the skin," she says. "Instead, use eco-friendly or biodegradable diapers. They are made of cornstarch, not plastic, and they are not bleached with chlorine, which also can irritate the skin. Using cloth diapers is another option [because they] are more breathable than plastic ones."
Wong suggests washing and carefully drying your baby's bottom after each diaper change. She also recommends using a (slightly) larger size diaper for your baby. The extra space will allow the baby's skin to breathe. And whenever possible, let your baby play au natural. A little naked time will allow more airflow to the area.
If simply changing your brand of diapers isn't enough, Wong suggests nursing mothers look at their sugar consumption. "If mom has a sweet-tooth and nurses, she should decrease her sugar intake," Wong says. Kids past nursing should avoid sugar as well. "Babies should eat food with less sugar content, like veggies instead of fruits," says Wong "Diaper rash can be caused by bacteria or Candida yeast and these organisms feed on sugar."
Eric Kimbles, a naturopathic doctor in Sonoma, California, believes that the herb calendula offers an effective natural treatment for the rash. "Any cream or ointment that is created homeopathically from calendula is wonderful for diaper rash," he says. He recommends creams by Boiron, Nelsons, and B&T, while Wong recommends similar creams marketed by Weleda and Burt's Bees. As the rash heals, an aloe vera lotion can also help soothe the discomfort, Wong says.
For parents with a do-it-yourself bent Wong recommends a lotion that can be made fresh as needed. Mix a few ounces of natural, unscented, water-based lotion (the first ingredient should be water) with 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 to 3 drops each of lavender oil, calendula oil, comfrey oil, and chickweed oil, and 1 to 2 drops oregano oil or tea tree oil.
Gregory Manteuffel, MD, who runs a homeopathic family practice in San Francisco, uses homeopathic medicines internally as well as externally to treat diaper rash. He gives his (infant/toddler) clients minerals like sulfur and calcium carbonate to treat chronic recurring diaper rash. "Treatment for diaper rash really begins with keeping the area clean and dry," Manteuffel stresses. "Making sure your child is not in a wet or dirty diaper is really the best defense."

What are the types of headaches? What causes fever? What are the different classes of pain relievers and fever reducers? Aspirin Acetaminophen Nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) What about overdoses of pain relievers and fever reducers? Introduction to OTC pain medication and fever reducers Pain is the most common reason for people to seek medical advice, pain medicine is the most frequently purchased over-the-counter (OTC) medication. Fever is one of the most common reasons that children visit the doctor. Moreover, one in five emergency room visits for children is due to fever. Since OTC medicines that are effective in treating pain also are effective at reducing fever, they will be considered together in this article. What are the classifications of pain? Pain can be classified as acute, chronic non-malignant, chronic malignant. Headaches are the most common cause of pain and can be considered a separate class of pain. Acute pain Acute pain is experienced by everyone; it is usually short in duration with an identifiable pathology, a predictable prognosis, and treatment that usually includes analgesics. Acute pain is most often due to injuries. Examples of injuries include: muscle soreness due to overuse, sprains or strains, or viral infections, tears of the ligaments, broken bones, bruises, and cuts. Acute pain from such injuries can respond well to OTC pain medication. Muscle soreness also may respond well to heat and massage. Chronic non-malignant pain Chronic non-malignant pain often begins as acute pain, but it continues beyond the typical time expected for resolution of the problem or persists or recurs for other reasons. It is a type of pain associated with progressive, debilitating diseases such as arthritis. Treatment for chronic non-malignant pain can include OTC medications . However, because of the chronic nature of the pain, regular use of OTC medications can lead to side effects. Chronic malignant pain Chronic malignant pain is pain associated with advanced, progressive diseases (often fatal) such as cancer, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, and terminal kidney disease. OTC medications for pain may be useful for the management of chronic malignant pain. However, stronger prescription medications are usually necessary. What are the types of headaches? Headaches are the most common reason that pain medications (analgesics) are taken. Headaches can be classified into three types: muscle contraction, migraine or vascular, and sinus. Muscle contraction headache A muscle contraction headache, the most common type, results from the continuous tightening of the muscles in the upper back, neck, or scalp. This type of headache often is described as a tight, pressing, or throbbing sensation of the head. It can be brought on by emotional stress and anxiety ("tension headaches"). Acute muscle contraction headaches generally respond well to OTC analgesics, but chronic muscle contraction headaches can require physical therapy or relaxation techniques.

Our AOLer told us that a group of AOL VPs recently greeted the rest of the staff, clapping and cheering to get them excited about the company. They unveiled a mural that read, "Beat the internet," which is a battle cry to innovate for the web just like AOL once did in the 1990s.
It sounded cringe-worthy and embarrassing to us. Our AOL friend was more sanguine saying, "Well, what are they supposed to do? They're trying to get us excited."

Lord Martyn de Halliwell
Heraldry Needed
|Awards & Offices
Lord Martyn de Halliwell first got involved in the SCA in late 2006 after being approached by several SCA members while selling hats he made at a local Renaissance Faire. He currently resides in the Canton of Black Icorndall in the Barony of Bhakail.
Originally intending to study period music & heavy fighting, Martyn found himself drawn to working as event staff and assisting others in their endeavors. Presently, he tries to spend time evenly between volunteering, archery, & music. His plans for the future include: more achery, more music, more volunteering and heavy fighting.
- Lord Martyn de Haliwell was born into a minor Breton noble family in Richmond, North Yorkshire, England in the 14th century. During his youth he traveled extensively with both of his grandfathers (one a well-known diplomat, the other a successful military captain), having long stays in London, Paris, Rome, Constantinople and Cologne. After the kidnapping of his parents, he immediately returned home from his studies abroad. He now resides in and administers his parents estates in both Richmond and Brittany, frequently travelling between the two. He holds some small estates in Avignon, but has yet to travel to them, relying on the chatelaines there to manage them. Finally having his institutional education years behind him, and his parents estates under proper management, he plans to become a more active member of the court.
- However sometimes- Martyn Halliwell is currently of unknown origins and can be found perusing the libraries, churches and associating with the musicians of the Court of King Henry VIII.

ROOKIE BLUE - "The Girlfriend Experience" - A grad student's disappearance leads Andy and Nick to discover the woman's double life as a high-end escort. When a pattern of missing women emerges, Gail, who is physically similar to the victims, is sent in on an undercover sting operation. Meanwhile, Dov and Chris are following a different lead, and when they uncover the body of a missing woman, the case takes an even more dangerous turn. A twisted killer is still at large, but, now, does he have his sights set on Gail? This first part of a two-part story arc of "Rookie Blue" airs THURSDAY, JULY 26 (10:00-11:00 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network. (ABC/CAITLIN CRONENBERG) CHARLOTTE SULLIVAN, ELIAS TOUFEXIS

A man is in police custody after a vehicle crashed into a townhome in north suburban Hainesville Friday morning.
Police received a 911 call from the 400 block of North Patriot Drive shortly after 4 a.m., but the caller immediately hung up. Responding officers found a vehicle crashed into the townhome at that location and the vehicle was "engulfed in flames," according to a statement from Grayslake police. Hainsville does not have its own police department and neighboring Grayslake police cover the area.
The cause of the crash had not been yet determined Friday afternoon.
A 32-year-old man was found near the crash several hours later and was taken to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville after showing signs of hypothermia. The man has not been charged, police said.
The Lake County Major Crash Assistance Team and Grayslake police are investigating.

Megan's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
The VIKINGS!!! No matter who our QB is, I'll always bleed purple! ;)
What's your favorite movie quote?
There are SO many great movies!! But, I'll quote one of my favorites from Step Brothers, "Did you touch my drumset?" "Nope." "Why are you so sweaty" "I was watching cops." LOL such a funny movie.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
I'm a huge video game nerd. I love my Xbox! My favorite game is COD MW3. Let's just say that I could definitely hold my own. ;)
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
I have one tattoo on my lower back, it's a memorial tattoo for my oldest sister who passed away. I have my ears pierced. Nothing too crazy!
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Maybe something from the Spice Girls or Hanson, "Mmmm bop".
What's your best party trick?
My best party trick would probably be my tequila drinking skills, or playing beer pong. I have some pretty awesome dance moves, too.
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
One night at a bar my sister and I were sitting alone at a table and this guy comes up and did a magic trick with a dollar bill to make it look like two legs opening, and then continued to ask if that was going to happen later tonight. Let's just say it didn't end well for that guy. Lol.
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I was a host at a restaurant/truck stop. Wasn't too bad, but wasn't the most glamorous job either.
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
I haven't really done anything too crazy, I'm a pretty laid back person. I do enjoy riding motorcycles, 4-wheelers, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, etc. I would say that that's pretty dangerous. I have been in cars when they're drifting around racetracks, that's fun!
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Anything! Taco Bell! Or even something from a 24-hour gas station. I'm not picky, but I do LOVE food!
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
I have really old fruit in my fridge right now that I've been too lazy to clean out. I think they're starting to grow arms and legs...ewwwwww. I should probably go clean that... Lol!
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I may be a pretty laid back person... but, when it comes to rolling in the dirt.. that's when I'm adventurous! ;) I could tell you stories, but I wouldn't want anyone to get too hot and bothered.
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
I feel sexiest wearing lingerie. Some women say sweatpants and a baggy shirt, but they're lying. All women feel sexy in a little black lingerie set. ;)
Tell us a joke.
What did the ghost say to the bee? Booo-bee Lol. I couldn't think of anything clever.

How would you take over the world?
This is meant to be a fun and creative forum where you can tell the TED community how you would take over the world or die trying! To start off let's say you are from an upper middle class family in the United States of America. Obviously intelligence and leadership skills are given. What would be your path to world domination without destroying the whole planet in the process?
