The Novo's key features include a C-mount lens system with back-focus adjustment, which allows for extreme macro shooting. The lens mount also eliminates the fisheye look (or bubble effect) noted in the other cameras in its size class, like the GoPro. One feature that View Factor reps like to tout is the way that the Novo gives operators the options of disabling its auto-exposure function and manually adjusting the aperture. Additionally, the camera can capture images in both 2K and 4K resolution.
The camera's lightweight aluminum housing fits into the palm of a hand and includes three 1/4-20 and two 10-32 mounting points. The four buttons on the front (REC, PWR, WiFi and AUX) can be assigned multiple functions, depending on the application. According to View Factor, the AUX button turns the auto exposure on/off, but in the near future it will also be utilized for other functions, such as digital zooming and checking critical focus. Curt von Badinski, View Factor's head of technical operations, reports that the company took on the challenge of building the Novo because it recognized that while there were already small-form factor cameras shooting 2K and 4K, there was still room for improvements. View Factor technicians engineered a new design to make the camera work for a variety of C-mount lenses (as wide as 3mm and as long as 200mm).
The Novo was jointly designed by View Factor and Radiant Images, a California-based rental house that provides 2D and 3D digital-cinema solutions, support and leading-edge, high-end cameras and equipment to the film and entertainment industry worldwide. "We brought Radiant in to collaborate on this project because they already had made a mark in the small-form factor-camera arena," says von Badinski. "Plus we had worked with them before and knew we could trust their experience and expertise. It took a strong team effort to pull this off." Radiant Images is known for its work with Silicon Imaging's SI-2K MINI sensor on movies like End of Watch, the gritty cop drama for which Babak Mansouri (the brother of Radiant Co-Founder Michael Mansouri) conceived a palm-sized cinema-quality SI-2K Nano camera for POV shots.
Radiant Images presently has 30 Novo cameras in stock. The Novo rental package includes the new camera, custom-geared C-mount lenses, and the all the required accessories. Radiant Images is also creating underwater housing for the Novo as well as crash cams. According to Michael Mansouri, a cinematographer can get the same close shot while choosing from a variety of focal lengths to create a narrower field of view. The back-focus adjustment will also enable extreme macro shooting on the set, where the photographed area can actually touch the lens and still remain in focus. "Cinematographers are going to be able to achieve shots that until now were too time-consuming or considered too expensive," notes Mansouri.

Organ transplantation is one of the most challenging, complex, and rewarding areas of modern medicine.
For patients, it's a chance to improve or extend their life. For donors, it's a cherished gift that reveals their enduring, generous spirit.
As a transplant patient who is referred to UT Southwestern Medical Center, you're getting more than expert physicians and surgeons assigned to your care – you're also getting an extensive support team of health care professionals, including:
- Specially trained inpatient and outpatient nurses
- Transplant coordinators
- Clinical coordinators
- Social workers
- Pharmacists
- Dietitians focused specifically on transplant medicine.
Each plays a unique and critical role in the complex world of transplantation medicine, but all have the same mission: Deliver seamless, patient-focused care, starting at the initial evaluation appointment and continuing through the waiting period, surgery, and follow-up.
Our Transplant Highlights
Our exceptional track record speaks to a consistent focus on excellence in patient care. In addition to performing more than 1,300 lifesaving organ transplants:
- Our Lung Transplant Program is one of fewer than two dozen in the U.S. using XVIVO technology, which allows physicians to do a more thorough evaluation of donated lungs – and perhaps improve them – before they are transplanted into a recipient.
- The Heart Transplant Program has consistently ranked among the top 10 in the United States, and our one-year and three-year survival rates exceed the national average.
- Our Kidney transplant physicians are responsible for a number of innovations that have become nationally accepted practices.
- The Liver Transplant Program provides comprehensive medical and surgical care for patients with end-stage liver disease requiring liver transplantation. The world-renowned team of surgeons and specialists can manage all aspects of the liver transplant process and provides a multidisciplinary approach to patient care.
Clinical Research
Because we are an academic medical institution, our patients have access to the latest groundbreaking research aimed at expanding the donor pool and developing new methods of preserving and evaluating organs.

2 weeks till i start decorating..........yaaaaaaaaaaaa!
Oh Christmas Fairy. I know the feeling, although it's not quite the same. I have had a big Christmas Eve get-together for family every year for the past 30 years. This year my sister-in-law is having a big going away party for my nephew (he is being deployed to Afghanistan) on December 22nd with a snow date of Dec 23rd - so that will be the day the family gets together. It will just be my husband and two daughters (unless they each end up with their boyfriends families) on the Eve. Sad that things have to change, but it's inevitable as you get older!
I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
soooo excited about christmas this year....my daughters will be nearly 2.......can"t wait to see there faces on christmas morning......as i"m posting they are watching THE SNOWMAN!..............
Merry Christmas to all...
When it seems the magic slipped away...
We find it all again on Christmas Day.
*Seeing isn't believing.Believing is seeing.*

I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas
It's been a bad week. And things aren't looking up. Some people are so rotten it's unbelievable. Makes me feel so stupid.

Just Didn't Work Well.I really wanted to love this but am returning it instead. The minute I pulled it out of the box I grabbed my daughter to try it on her hair. My daughter has thick and difficult to curl hair with thick strands. As I was using the deep waver on her hair all I got was a frizzy mess and NO deep wave definition. I wasn't totally discouraged, as her hair is hard to work with anyway, and decided to try it on my hair instead. My hair is thick, but my strands are thin and take curl pretty easily. I have wavy hair anyway but was looking for something that would give a more polished look to my hair. Unfortunately, this ended up being a hot frizzy mess on me as well. Even though this does get very hot it just didn't seem to "deep wave" the hair at all. What wave it did create on both myself and my daughter was messy and frizzy with no definition. Maybe this would work well on some hair but not ours.Mar 19, 2012Elizabeth V.

Love This WaverThis is the best waver I have ever used. I love my hair tools, and this one tops the list!! This waver gives you the options of the soft beach wave or to have a more defined deep wave. The waver has a wide range in heat settings; I think its 250- 450 degrees. I have used this tool several times, and I always get compliments when I use this in my hair. I would definitely recommend this purchase. I also wear hair extensions and this works well on both my hair as well as the extensions.Feb 21, 2012YoliHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Beautiful Beach Waves!!I love, love this deep waver!!! I was kinda skeptical when I first purchased this tool because I remember back in the day that Gold n Hot tools use to burn my hair...BUT they have totally improved the technology in their tools!! I have used this tool a few times already and I get so many compliments when I use it. I am also impressed with the range of heat settings that this product has. I think it starts at 250 to 450 degrees... YES quite a heat range. I would suggest that you use a heat protectant with this product as with any heat tool, you do not want to damage your hair. I have been using sedu argan oil (another awesome product) and it works wonders. For me the curls will last until I wash my hair. I like the beachy kinda messy look, so i actually like my hair on day 2 . Would definitely recommend this deep waver!!
Just an FYI.. use extentions from time to time and it works great on my own hair or the remy extentions.Feb 17, 2012Yolli / GeorgiaHAIR TYPEBlack / Normal Hair / Dry Hair / Relaxed Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Skip to comments.Has anyone seen a dog similar to this one?
Posted on 03/10/2013 10:39:04 AM PDT by freekitty
Looking for this dogs puppy.
Check this out!!
The first panda was black and white. The foundation breeder who has bred GSDs for over 30 years thought a border collie from a neighbor had jumped the fence. She investigated; then sent pictures to University of CA at Davis to see if she had a new breed. They declared she did. They did a lot of work on the genetic breeding.
Wish I could post a picture...of her.
She was quite the dog!!
I thought the same thing. :-)
Agreed, looks very alert and intelligent.
I am sorry Donna; but you are fool to say the least. If you want to call me a troll or desperate for attention that's fine; but at least have some manners and know what you are talking about when you do. I also fund FR more than you or your fat ignorant mouth will ever know.
I have been there and posted and thanks.
Believe me, they are real.
No mal; but the Shiloh Shepherd has mal in it's history; but the ears were to soft..
They are and thank you.
Good luck with your search.
All I want to know is where are my pups? I have been looking for them for 2 or 3 years.
Thank you.
I bet she was
Hey, donna... your cat was typing on your computer again...
It was Sunday fun
That's a bit harsh, Donna.
FR is a community of like-minded people, most of whom are dog lovers.
The Herbers woman is apparently an accomplished scam artist who could very well rip off another FReeper, given time and opportunity.
We are our brother's keepers, as it were and I have no problem with Freekitty 'wasting resources' trying to find her dogs.
So you think you've bought FR and can clutter it up with your silliness.
Looks part Dingo (Australian) and part Australian Cattle dog. . .
Thanks Salamander. I will find them or at least what happened to them. I worked in legal litigation for many years. You would be surprised what you find even unintentionally.
Donna, I wish you would listen yourself. I did not say I bought FR and would never claim such nonsense. I will say by all your posts you are the one looking for attention. I have no idea why; except the usual baiting and trying to present yourself in a way you are not; and of course, your ignorant thinking which seems to be more evident with each of your posts.
Unless you have something that could possibly contribute to my thread; please take your mouth, close it and go live in your fog.
Re above/a p.s. of sorts. . .whatever this dog is. . guaranteed; it is very intelligent. ;-)
Please just show some respect for FR and follow the rules:
Do keep "vanity" posts to a minimum - Free Republic is primarily a place to discuss news, articles, and editorials. Vanity posts, creations of the poster him or herself, should meet a high standard of quality before one is even considered worthy of posting. Often a relevant current thread or general announcement, catch-all thread is a much better choice for a brief question or comment.
Yikes. . .perhaps you think you are in 'breaking news'; when instead it is 'general/chat'. . .OR; you are having a really bad day.
I hope so.
I know what you mean.
I've found out a lot of things that often, I wish I hadn't.
Truth will out, eventually.
Why not, every time you post you clutter it up with your silliness.
My dad just died and the rest of my life is in general chaos but if I couldn't spare a few minutes to help a fellow FReeper, I think I'd just give it up.
The milk of human kindness has apparently been replaced by pee in her cornflakes.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Prayers sent.
I sure hope so.
Donna is a rude fool and doesn't realize that we are a bunch of friends and we can ask each other for assistance and information about any subject. That is what makes FR such a great place.
Donna, please have some respect for yourself by stopping your insane rants. No one asked you to post on this thread. You have done so purely by your own choice; and continue to so. Wow, I wish I could have a dollar for each and every time someone like you hides behind rules and regulations.
So please take your belly aching and leave.
Ahh, Ditter, my good friend. You know how long I have been trying to find my pups. The only thing I can actually verify is a woman contacted me recently saying she saw the girl puppy; but thinks she was sold to someone in OK. I also heard maybe sold to a woman in TX. It's just been a bunch of heartache.
I am sorry to hear about your Dad. Prayers to you and your family.
This story is getting confusing. First you said 1 year-old dogs (not exactly puppies) and then you said you are looking for your 2 and 3 year-old dogs (full grown dogs). Did this person steal many different dogs of different ages?
Donna is a troll. Just ignore her/him.
No I didn't. I said they were puppies; but they would be over a year old now. Sorry about the confusion.
It's pretty clear what kind of people you are. Rules don't apply to you and others must provide your pleasures - a liberal trait.
Twitter is perfect for you. Take your friends and chat there.
The confusion may have been about looking for them for 2 or 3 years. I started in 2011. Again, sorry for the confusion.
Right now I am just trying to gather information and hopefully find out what happened to them and if I can get them back.
They were 3 months old when I last saw them.
Thank you.
It was unexpected.
I'm sorry for whatever has made her take this indefensible position.
Maybe she really is having a very bad day.
Either Shepherd/Husky (most likely) or Shepherd/Collie mix.
Please, no Freepmails.
It's all very simple. This thread breaks FR rules and wastes money. Stop posting silly vanities and/or use Twitter instead.
Oh, dear God.
I cannot believe you pulled the "you must be a liberal" crap.
Seriously...what is making you so hateful today?
Or have you thoughtlessly put yourself in a position where you can't gracefully apologize due to pride, even when you know you are wrong?
What is this "twitter" of which you speak?
If you know of it perhaps you should go back there.
Then snitch to the mods.
Let them decide the fate of the thread.

New Jersey Obama Ballot Challenge Not Decided Yet; Written Ruling To Be Issued in Next 24 Hours.
This post will be updated shortly when first-hand accounts from the New Jersey ballot challenge are available.....
UPDATE FROM CDR KERCHNER: I just returned from the hearing. It was a two hour drive each way and I'm tired. The hearing got off to a late start circa 9:30 a.m. and lasted about 3 1/2 hours. The judge asked a lot of questions on the natural born Citizen issue repeatedly interrupting the presentation by Attorney Mario Apuzzo. On the issues of the forged Obama documents, the judge did not wish to hear anything about that matter and refused to allow any evidence to be entered on those forgery issues since Obama had not presented his birth certificate or draft registration documents in any form to NJ. Thus he said those issues of alleged forgery are not before his court. His reasoning was that the only legal matters before him is whether Obama has to provide any documentation such as a certified copy of his birth certificate with a raised seal on it to the state of New Jersey to try to prove his qualifications as to place of birth in the USA and also as to whether Obama's father being a foreign national and non-U.S. Citizen impacts where Obama is a natural born Citizen or not. He seems to place a lot of wait on prior cases that the Obama for America campaign defense counsel brought up such as the Ankeny case and Wong King Ark. But the judge did listen very attentively to Mario's arguments as how those cases are being misinterpreted and misstated as to what they determined.
The judge ended the hearing saying he would issue an oral YES on NO decision later today to the Secretary of State of NJ and the two counsels as to whether he recommends to the Secretary of State of NJ Obama being allowed on the ballot in NJ. The written decision will be issued tomorrow at 10 a.m.
More later. http://cdrkerchner.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/nj-ballot-access-challenge-hearing-update
UPDATE FROM ATTORNEY APUZZO: Today, April 10, 2012, Nicholas E. Purpura and Theodore T. Moran had their Barack Obama primary ballot objection heard by Deputy Director and Administrative Law Judge, Jeff S. Masin, at the Office of Administrative Law, 9 Quakerbridge Plaza, Mercerville (Hamilton Twp.), New Jersey 08619. The case started about 9:30 a.m. and lasted to about 1:00 p.m. I represented the Objectors. Mr. Obama was represented by Alexandra Hill of the firm of Genova, Burn & Giantomasi of Newark, New Jersey.
We argued that Mr. Obama has not met his burden of showing that he is eligible to be on the New Jersey primary ballot by showing that he is a "natural born Citizen." We argued that he has not presented any evidence to the New Jersey Secretary of State showing who he is and that he was born in the United States. We also argued that as a matter of law, Obama is not a "natural born Citizen" because he was born to a father who was not a U.S. citizen.
Obama's attorney made a motion to dismiss the Objection in its entirety. She argued that it was not relevant to being placed on the ballot whether Mr. Obama is a "natural born Citizen," where he was born, and whether he was born to U.S. citizen parents. She said that no law in New Jersey obligated him to produce any such evidence in order to get on the primary ballot. We argued that Mr. Obama under the Constitution has to be a "natural born Citizen." We argued that under New Jersey law (the state constitution, statutes, and case law), Mr. Obama must show that he is qualified for the office he wishes to occupy and that includes showing that he is a "natural born Citizen," which includes presenting evidence of who he is, where he was born, and that he was born to two U.S. citizen parents. We argued that the Secretary of State has a constitutional obligation not to place any ineligible candidates on the election ballot. Judge Masin denied Obama's motion to dismiss and the case proceeded to trial.
After calling to the witness stand Mr. Moran and Mr. Purpura, who gave testimony as to why they brought the ballot challenge, and introducing documents showing there is a question as to Mr. Obama's identity, I called Brian Wilcox to testify as an internet image expert. Mr. Wilcox was going to testify on how the Obama April 27, 2011, long-form birth certificate has been altered and manipulated either by computer software or by a human or both, producing a forged documents, and that since the image is not reliable, we need to see the original paper version. Obama's lawyer objected to my proffered testimony. I then offered that I would not need to have Mr. Wilcox testify, provided that Obama stipulated that the internet image of his birth certificate could not be used as evidence by either Judge Masin or the New Jersey Secretary of States and that he presented to the court or the Secretary of State no other evidence of his identity or place of birth. Judge Masin also asked Obama's attorney whether she would so stipulate. She did so stipulate, agreeing that both the court and the Secretary of State cannot rely on the internet birth certificate as evidence of Obama's place of birth and that Obama has produced no other evidence to the court regarding his place of birth. She also argued that Obama has no legal obligation to produce any such evidence to get on the primary ballot. Judge Masin then took the issue under advisement. Having produced absolutely no evidence of his eligibility for the Office of President, Judge Masin will decide whether as a matter of law Obama has a legal duty to produce such evidence before he may be placed on the New Jersey ballot in light of the pending objection filed against him. If he decides that he does, then the Objection will be successful. If he decides that Obama has no such legal obligation, the Objection would fail on the first issue.
The second issue that Judge Masin addressed was whether the definition of an Article II "natural born Citizen" includes the requirement that the child be born to two U.S. citizen parents. Judge Masin relied heavily upon the fact that no court in the nation has yet ruled that Mr. Obama had to have two U.S. citizen parents at the time of his birth. I explained that most cases regarding Mr. Obama have been ruled in his favor on procedural grounds rather than on the merits of the definition of a "natural born Citizen." He relied heavily upon U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark (1898) and its use of the English common law to define U.S. citizenship. We also discussed the Indiana Ankeny decision and the Georgia ballot access cases. I explained how Wong did not hold that Wong was a "natural born Citizen," but only a "citizen of the United States" under the Fourteenth Amendment which does not define an Article II "natural born Citizen." I explained that Wong distinguished between a "citizen" and a "natural born Citizen," explaining how Justice Gray used Horace Binney's distinction between both classes of citizens. I argued that it is error to rely upon Wong as though it held Wong to be a "natural born Citizen."
I argued that the Founders and Framers did not adopt the English common law to define the term, but rather natural law and the law of nations which under Article III became part of the "Laws of the United States." I explained that the definition of a "natural born Citizen" comes from natural law and the law of nations as commented upon by Emer de Vattel in Section 212 of The Law of Nations (1758), which definition was recognized as American "common-law" in Minor v. Happersett (1875). I also explained that Wong Kim Ark confirmed Minor's definition (a child born in a country to citizen parents) and did not change it.
I explained that Congress through the Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1802, and 1855 abrogated the English common law as the law to define U.S. citizenship and that through those acts it told us that a child born in the United States to alien parents was an alien and not a "citizen of the United States." I went through the historical evidence, including but not limited to Emer de Vattel and St. George Tucker, which shows that the Founders and Framers defined a "natural born Citizen" as a child born in the country to citizen parents and not as the English common law defined a "natural born subject." I explained how Madison wrote to Washington that at the constitutional convention, the delegates did not adopt the English common law for the new republic. I explained that the English common law continued to have effect in the states, even being included in their constitutions and statutes, but not on the federal level where both the Constitution and Acts of Congress did not do the same as the states did. I explained that there is a constitutional distinction between a "citizen" and a "natural born Citizen," and that the two terms cannot be conflated and confounded as per Article II, Section 1, Clause 5 and Chief Justice John Marshall in Marbury v. Madison, who told us that each clause of the Constitution must be given its own meaning. Judge Masin also reserved decision on the question of whether a "natural born Citizen" must be born to two U.S. citizen parents.
Judge Masin will be contacting counsel today or tomorrow morning either by telephone or email as to his decision, stating "yes" or "no" on both issues. He will then provide his written decision to the Secretary of State no later than Wednesday, April 11, 2012, at 10:00 a.m. Counsel will be able to object to Judge Masin's initial decision. The Secretary of State will make the final decision. After her decision, the parties can then appeal to the New Jersey Appellate Division and then to the New Jersey Supreme Court. After that, the parties can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Mr. Bush is championing something called the Free Trade Area of the Americas.
It follows along in the same footsteps as NAFTA and CAFTA and goes even further.
Many of the agreements in the trade arrangements would bring a lot of money to certain specialized industries - like computers for instance - of course, many of those computers that will be shipped under these trade agreements from the United States are made in Communist China - so don't expect a check in the mail if Bush gets his way.
Jeffrey Schott, a senior fellow at the Institute for International Economics (a non-partisan 'think-tank' that thinks mostly for Republicans), said the FTAA should be seen as more than just a way to boost sales of computers and airplanes. He said trade agreements could be used to promote good governance, strengthen the courts and other democratic institutions and encourage cooperation on large regional infrastructure projects.
"The foreign policy side of the story is quite important," he said, "and one of the major reasons we're expending these efforts."
In George Bush's world it is necessary for us to become less like ourselves in order to succeed. In his world Americans aren't good enough the way we are. We must be repackaged, reformed, restyled and put into styrofoam carriers and sent away to be rebuilt. We no longer make anything and the only thing exportable is our jobs.
In his world it is by being less ourselves that we will force others to be more like us.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
The Emery County Recorders office has recently seen an increase in the number of mining claims filed by individuals and corporations. Over 700 Uranium mining claims were filed in the month of February. Most of these mining claims were filed on Bureau of Land Management property near Green River.
Why this renewed interest in Uranium in Emery County? Could it be because uranium prices have risen from a low of $7.10 per pound in late 2000 to over $21.75 per pound today, a recent 20 year-high.
To file a mining claim in Emery County the fee is $10. However if the mining claim is on BLM property, the fee for filing a claim is $165 in addition to the fee charged by Emery County.
When a possible mining claim is selected by a prospector he has to identify the location with stakes or rock monuments to identify the extent of the claim. Emery County and the BLM both require a certain amount of work to be performed or improvements on the claim by the claimant each year in order to keep the claim active. Failure to improve on the claim can result in a loss of the claim.
A study of the history of uranium mining in Eastern Utah tells us that the eastern and southeastern regions near the river basins of the Green River, the Grand River and the Colorado River in Utah, have in the past contained deposits of uranium. Past exploration of the San Rafael found uranium deposits about 15 miles southwest of the Green River. In 19034, uranium ore was found in Wayne County, southeast of the San Rafael Swell. Other areas where uranium deposits were found are west of the LaSal Mountains, south of Richardson, at Mill Creek, north of Moab, at Cold Creek, and at Temple Mountain.
Uranium, a radioactive element, was first mined in the United States by Dr. Richard Pierce who shipped 200 pounds of pitchblende (a black hard tar like substance that is found in vertical seams of some rock formations ) to London from the Central City mining district near Denver, Colo. The ore was researched for fabrication of steel alloys, chemical experimentation and as pigments for dyes, inks and stained glass.
In 1889, Pierre and Marie Curie and G. Bemont isolated radium from pitchblende. They also discovered vanadium, uranium, and radium were found in carnotite. Carnotite is a mineral containing colorful red and yellow ores used by early Navajo and Ute Indians on the Colorado plateau as body paint.
The discovery of these minerals caused a small prospecting boom in southeastern Utah prior to World War I. In Utah the earliest mining of uranium ore began in the 1870s and 1880s.
Uranium the "wonder mineral" became a giant in the 1950s, and 1960s. Throughout the west people from all walks of life were buying Geiger counters and roaming the countryside trying to detect the radioactive signal from uranium and other radioactive minerals.
In 1952, Charles Augustus Steen, an unemployed oil geologist from Texas proved there was significant uranium ore on the Colorado Plateau. What was described as Steen's Folly resulted in the nation's first large uranium strike in the Big Indian Wash of Lisbon Valley southeast of Moab.
By 1955, approximately 800 mines were producing high-grade ore on the Colorado Plateau. Utah produced about 9 million tons of ore valued at $25 million by the end of 1962. But then the uranium industry came to a standstill when the Atomic Energy Commission announced it had sufficient reserves of uranium.
Nuclear power plants came on line in the 1970s causing a short lived uranium boom. But foreign competition, federal regulations and the fear of the use of nuclear power plants soon put an end to domestic uranium mining.
Salt Lake City was once known as the Wall Street of uranium stocks during the uranium excitement of the1950s and 1960s. Taken from the History of Uranium in Utah, Utah History Encyclopedia.
What could be triggering this new interest in uranium? Does the world need more uranium for electricity generating power plants? What is it that is driving the price of uranium up?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of the use of uranium and why has the demand for it increased?
Using uranium in commercial nuclear power generation involves containing and controlling the fission reactions safely so that the heat produced can be used to make steam which in turn generates electricity. This is much like coal, gas or oil being used to heat water to form steam to turn the turbines and generate electricity.
There are several possible reasons for the increase in uranium prices. Countries around the world such as the UK, France, Russia, Canada, Sweden, and Japan to name a few, have turned to nuclear power to provide electricity and a better standard of living for their people and and have been doing so for 30-40 years.
The above countries and developing countries are building new nuclear power plants to provide electricity and are abandoning the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity.
The Koyoto Agreement on global warming is another reason for the increased price of uranium. The demand to reduce the use of fossil fuels (such as coal, gas and oil) has forced developing countries to look to nuclear power to reduce so called green house gases.
At the end of 2002, there were 440 nuclear power reactors operating in 31 countries, with 30 power reactors under construction in 10 countries. Nuclear power plants are built at a higher construction cost when compared to a coal or gas fired power plant, however some believe the nuclear power plant will last years longer and produce electricity at a lower cost with fewer environmental problems.
Some countries like France have now become exporters of electricity from their nuclear power plants to neighboring countries.
Recent upgrading of existing nuclear power plants has resulted in an increased capacity to produce electricity from nuclear power. Several power reactors in the USA, Belgium, Sweden, Spain, Switzerland and Germany, for example, have had their generating capacity increased through upgrading to more efficient use of uranium and plutonium. New reactor start-ups are expected to exceed the decommissioning of old reactors for several years, though most of the new reactors will be in the Asian region.
There is now widespread agreement in some quarters that we need resource strategies which will minimize CO2 and the build up of other gases in the atmosphere, with respect to electricity generation, the increased use of uranium as a fuel is one obvious strategy, utilizing newer proven technology. Continued efficiency in energy conservation is unlikely to be as great in the next decade as it was in the mid 1970s, because most of the easy and cost-effective steps have already been taken.
Nuclear power plants do not put carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere, therefore they are looked upon as a possible way of cleaning up the environment. However the storage or disposal of spent nuclear fuel still concerns a large portion of the US population. Research is starting to provide answers about how to reuse the spent nuclear fuel or waste by products from nuclear power plants. Using plutonium in a breeder reactor has been successful in reducing the nuclear waste products from older nuclear power plants.
Widespread use of the fast breeder reactors could increase the utilization of uranium 60 times or more. This type of reactor can be started up on plutonium derived from conventional reactors and operated in closed circuit with its reprocessing plant. Such a reactor, supplied with natural uranium for its "fertile blanket," very quickly reaches the stage where each ton of uranium ore yields 60 times more energy than in a conventional reactor.
The US has fewer nuclear power plants in service today due to age and the cost of upgrading existing nuclear plants. The US has nearly stopped building nuclear power plants due to protestors and NRC and EPA regulations caused from the fear of a nuclear melt down like the Chernobyl disaster in Russia, and fears about the Three Mile Island power plant that had its problem and was able to contain the melt down within the walls of the plant. The newer nuclear power plants being built have incorporated technologies that make them much safer than those of a generation ago.
Is mining and milling of uranium ore hazardous?
Uranium minerals are always associated with other elements such as radium and radon in radioactive decay. Therefore, although uranium itself is barely radioactive, the ore which is mined must be considered as potentially hazardous, especially if it happens to be high-grade uranium ore. The radiation hazards involved however are virtually all due to the associated elements and are similar to those in many mineral sands operations. Therefore, precautions need to be taken when mining or milling uranium ore.
Uranium is 1.7 times more dense than lead, and is composed of atoms which have in their nucleus 92 protons (positively-charged) and about 140 neutrons (uncharged). One of the types of uranium atoms, or one of the uranium "isotopes" as they are called, has 143 neutrons. This uranium-235 (U-235) isotope is interesting, because when its nucleus is hit by a slow neutron (also known as a "thermal" neutron) the atom can split in two and release a lot of energy as heat. This reaction of producing heat is known as fission.
The other main isotope of natural uranium, U-238 is not itself fissile (heat producing) in conventional reactors but each atom can capture a neutron, indirectly to become fissile plutonium-239. It is thus "fertile." Pu-239 behaves similarly to U-235 except that its neutron yield is slightly greater than that of U-235. About one third of the energy from a commercial nuclear reactor comes from fission of the plutonium produced in the reactor.
It has been estimated that every 22 tons of uranium used saves about one million tons of carbon dioxide from being emitted into the atmosphere when compared to coal.
Some of the largest uranium concentrations in the United States, according to surface surveys, are found in Southwest Utah, Southwest Nevada, Southern Arizona and New Mexico. Ohio and Pennsylvania also have deposits of uranium. This is based upon the data from the National Uranium Resource Evaluation program conducted by the US Department of Energy in the 1970s.
There are enough known resources of uranium in the world to last for half a century. The calculation was made, by only considering the lower cost or quality category, and based on uranium being used in the older type of conventional reactors. This represents a higher level of assured resources than is normal for most minerals. Further exploration and higher prices will certainly, on the basis of present geological knowledge, yield further resources as the present ores are being used up. A doubling of the price from present levels could be expected to create about a tenfold increase in measured resources.

In a previous post, we introduced you to the Newberry Index. Another "uniquely Newberry" index is the Chicago Biography and Industry File (CBIF). This research guide is an index of biographical and industrial sketches of people and industries that appeared in forty-eight biographies and guides, all of which are in the Newberry collection. These volumes were primarily published between 1876 and 1937.
The CBIF sources include ethnic directories (German, Czech, Italian, Polish and others), business or occupational listings (musicians, attorneys, manufacturers and wholesalers) and general bibliographical publications. Although the majority of the individuals listed are men, there are some entries for women, many of which are taken from Who's Who in Illinois, Women - Makers of History by Agness Geneva Gilman. There are also many company listings included.
Arranged alphabetically by surname (or company name), each entry includes a source abbreviation, the page number within the source where the individual or company is mentioned, and the page number of a portrait if one was included. The front of the CBIF includes a key to the sources along with a Newberry call number. If we've been able to locate a digital copy of the source, a link is provided as well.
For example, the CBIF listing for "Estes, L.V. (incorporated)" lists a source of MWI2 and pages 380-383. A quick check of the source listing at the front of the book gives the following citation: Currey, J. Seymour. Manufacturing and wholesale industries of Chicago. Chicago : Thomas B. Poole, 1918. Call Number: H 7083 .205. It also indicates that volume two is available on Google Books.
The entry on pages 380-383 provides: the details of the founding of L.V. Estes; their primary business as Efficiency Engineers; Mr. Estes's background and experience; the organizational structure of the company; and contact information.

Stuff, I have new stuff!!
A quick LoTD today, one where I wanted to showcase my new top and boots! The top was part of last weeks FLF and if you didn't get it, I'm sure it'll be out full price soon, if it already isn't! I picked up UK, USA and Spain, obviously I am wearing the UK one here. The boots are new for L'Accessories from Lassitude and Ennui and are called "Lazy Boots"! A flat, slouchy pair of leathery goodness for your peepies! They come in various colours, but I thought Black would compliment my outfit more. The necklace I am wearing from MONS is also new for L'Accessories and is a Lions Head, very detailed mesh item that you can have in Bronze, Silver and Gold! Matching Earrings and Rings available too 😀
Also worn is a new Exile hair, and some H.O.F shorts along with a Glam Affair – Amberly skin, more about the hair below!
Glam Affair have released a bunch of goodies lately, I recently blogged their Zoya Headdress, now it's the turn for the Mesh Liners! I am not a girl that thinks to accessorize often, because I feel I don't do it well. Mesh Liners are one of those things I dread, because I can never get them to look as great as everyone else! These are super easy to fit though and are a nice addition to your facial unit. I prefer to think of them as lashes rather than eyeliner, and pretty ones at that! There are various styles available, with just 8 shown below ranging from gem studded all over, a lil flick of gem in the corner, pearls and actual studs!! Definitely must check these out, really great for pictures!
Finally, Exile released three new hairs! Little Talks, Stay the Night and Don't Wait! I don't think I have a fave, because they're all so lovely! But I am quite partial to Stay the Night, the way it just lays over your shoulder and is a bit poofy on top, like sexy bedhead… but a lot better looking. But whether you want a long ponyish style, the tidy bedhead, or a simple long style… you are going to find all you need at Exile! If you don't like this release (hi, you will), you are bound to looooove something else there for sure!

Vermeil Plating:
Pronounced "vermay," vermeil is an electroplating process in which 14K gold or higher is coated over sterling silver. Officially designated by the jewelry industry, items may only be sold as vermeil if they have a minimum thickness of 100 millionths of an inch (2.5 microns) of gold over the silver. Regular gold plating is less than 2.5 microns.
The "vermeil" technique of plating sterling silver with gold originated in France in the 1750s. It differs from "gold filled" or "gold plated" in terms of the thickness or thinness of the microns over sterling silver. "Gold filled" pieces have a much thicker layer, between 15 and 45 microns, which is mechanically bonded to the base metal with heat and pressure. Vermeil is a more expensive version of "gold plated". It does not wear off as quickly as gold plating does. However, over time, vermeil wears off and therefore will require re-plating.
Gold/Platinum Embraced Silver or Bronze:
Our platinum and gold embraced collections feature layers of platinum or gold over sterling silver or bronze for a lustrous, radiant finish everywhere you look and touch.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
Platinum Plating:
Platinum can be used as a finish coating over sterling silver or copper alloys. Its bright, pure luster enhances the brilliance of gemstones and does not discolor or oxidize. Platinum plating is also characterized by its good resistance to surface abrasion, making jewelry pieces more durable against everyday and long-term wear. Over time, platinum plating will wear off and therefore will require re-plating.
To care for your plated jewelry items:
On the Mohs Scale, which measures the hardness of minerals, cubic zirconia is an 8.0 to 8.5. It is important to understand that hardness is not necessarily related to durability. Even though diamond is the hardest mineral (10.0 on the Mohs Scale), it can still be chipped or broken.
The only ways to tell the difference between cubic zirconia and diamond are by use of a thermal probe, by weighing the loose stone or by microscopic examination of surface features and inclusions. Cubic zirconia weighs approximately 65% more than diamond. Therefore, while a 6.25 mm round diamond weighs about 1.00 carat, the same size cubic zirconia weighs about 1.65 carats. If you know the weight of a cubic zirconia, you can figure out the diamond weight equivalent by multiplying the cubic zirconia weight by 0.6, or 60%.
Few natural diamonds on the market today are perfectly cut, and those that are cost much more than the usual diamond. Unleashing the fire, beauty and brilliance of a stone depends on its precise cut. Simulated diamonds are an excellent balance between quality, beauty and price.
Brilliance: The white light leaving a jewel, traveling upward, which is visible to the eye. Brilliance is sometimes referred to as "sparkle."
Dispersion: Flashes of rainbow colors. Also called "fire."
Hardness: Resistance to scratching. The higher the number, the more resistant.
Luster: The shininess of a jewel.
Toughness: Resistance to breakage.

The world's best hotels.Get the list.
NEEDHAM, Mass.
NEEDHAM, Mass., Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- TripAdvisor®, the world's largest travel community, today announced the results of its annual travel trends survey of more than 2,500 travelers from around the world. Top trends identified in the survey are concerns about germs, the growth of green tourism, and opposition to cell phone use on planes. TripAdvisor also unveiled its TravelCast list of emerging hotspots for 2008 with Jerba, Tunisia topping the list.
Clean Conscious
Eighty percent of respondents are concerned about germs, bacteria and viruses when traveling. Airplanes are the most germy, according to 28 percent of those polled. Public transportation was next, followed by restaurants, hotels, and airports. Respondents outside the U.S. were particularly worried about the risk of germs at restaurants, while Americans are far more wary of airplanes.
Fifty-five percent of travelers said they tend to wash and disinfect their hands more often while traveling. In keeping with the germaphobia trend, 27 percent of Americans either bring their own disinfectant and cleaning supplies, shower shoes, pillows, towels or linens, when going on a trip. This number has climbed from 22 percent, when TripAdvisor first spotted the germaphobia trend in 2005. Forty-five percent of travelers said their worst experience at a hotel was a dirty bathroom or dirty sheets, and 17 percent said their worst experience was the presence of vermin. Travelers also cited clean restrooms as a top criterion for what makes an airport great.
Growing Greener
Twenty-six percent of respondents said they will be more environmentally conscious in their travel decisions in the coming year. The green trend may be evident in their choice of transportation -- 22 percent said they'll go biking while on vacation this year, compared to 13 percent, last year. Forty-seven percent of travelers plan to go hiking this year, up from 43 percent, last year.
Tech Turn-off
Seventy-eight percent of travelers believe that mobile phones should not be allowed on flights. When asked if they think they have a right to tell an airline passenger sitting next to them to turn off video content they deem inappropriate, 58 percent said "no."
Weak Dollar Woos Outsiders
Fifty-four percent of respondents from outside the U.S. said that favorable exchange rates will inspire them to travel to the U.S. more in the next 12 months. On the contrary, 41 percent of Americans said the unfavorable exchange rates will either prevent them from going, or limit their travel to Europe in the coming year.
Waste Not, Want Not?
Fifty-four percent of Americans have four or more weeks of vacation time each year, and 47 percent believe they "need" six weeks of vacation or more. But, they are not even spending all the time they currently have. Only 64 percent of Americans used all of their vacation time in the past year. Asked why they won't take all of their vacation time, 28 percent of U.S. respondents said they can't afford to be away from work. Forty-eight percent of Americans check their work voicemail or email on a long weekend, which jumps to 78 percent when taking a trip of a week or more.
Head of the Class
Thirty-two percent of travelers (and 34 percent of Americans) are planning to engage in educational activity on vacation this year, such as a cooking or art class, up from 25 percent (and 28 percent of Americans), last year.
Outside Influences
Sixty percent of respondents from the U.S. said that the possibility of terrorism is still a consideration when planning where to go on their next vacation. Forty-five percent of Americans said the possibility of natural disasters (such as a hurricane, tsunami or earthquake) is on their mind, and 36 percent said the cost of fuel influences where to go on their next vacation, despite the recent decline in gas prices. Five percent said uncertainty with mortgage rates is affecting the way they plan travel in the next year, and six percent said the volatile stock market is affecting their travel decisions.
Loosening Up
Fifty-three percent of travelers said it takes them less than a day to unwind when on vacation, while 35 percent take 1-2 days to relax. Twenty-four percent of travelers said they are likely to dress more provocatively while on vacation and 19 percent of travelers have had to impose the "whatever happens in X destination, stays in X destination" rule with their travel partners. Twelve percent of respondents have been to a clothing-optional or adults-only resort.
New Airlines Are Hot
Seventeen percent of travelers are planning to try a new airline this year. Virgin America is the most popular choice of new airlines among respondents.
Golden Wings: Top Airlines
American Airlines was the favorite airline among worldwide respondents, and British Airways and Southwest tied for second favorite airline. British Airways was selected as the top airline by travelers outside the U.S. Travelers selected these airlines as their favorite primarily because of their friendly and helpful staff, good on-time arrival and departure records, and comfortable seats. U.S. Airways was the least favorite airline, according to respondents.
Golden Gates: Top Airports
The favorite airport in the world, according to travelers, is Schipol International Airport in Amsterdam. Las Vegas McCarran and Orlando International tied as second favorite. Eighty-one percent of travelers said the primary factor that makes an airport great is it's easy to navigate and get to your gate. London Heathrow and Chicago O'Hare tied as the least favorite airport in the world, according to travelers.
Additional Travel Tidbits
Travelers will average about three vacations in the coming year. Beaches continue to get hotter, as 64 percent plan to vacation to a sandy destination this year, compared to 59 percent last year. Florida is the most popular U.S. state that worldwide travelers intend to visit in the next 12 months, and internationally, 34 percent of Americans are planning to visit Europe in the year to come.

Virgin Blue Gets Down To Business15/07/2001
Direct Flights On Nation's Busiest Route
Virgin Blue today launched services on Australia's number one business route, with direct flights between Sydney and Melbourne, providing business travellers with a more comprehensive choice of destinations and extending its low fare promise to the market that is the most critical to the corporate community.
The Sydney-Melbourne start-up was brought forward after numerous requests from corporate customers who noted that, since Impulse's demise, affordable seats were next to impossible to come by at times when they wanted to travel.
The launch of this service signals Virgin Blue's intention to build loyalty amongst the business market by providing a consistently reliable, friendly and cost-effective travel option, which makes business easier and improves their bottom line.
Virgin Blue's management team stepped off today's inaugural flight wearing business suits with ties chopped in half and missing half of their pant legs and suit sleeves, highlighting the message that business commuters can now "cut their travel costs in half".
Spokesperson, Amanda Bolger, said," We don't believe fancy lounges, laundry pick-up and reheated meals really address the true needs of the people that fly every week. Instead we've found they are more impressed by on-time departure and staff that can actually smile at 6.00am."
Australia's only low fare carrier will offer great everyday low fares to travellers on this key business route, with prices starting from $66 one-way. Virgin Blue's one-way "Fully Flexible" Y (walk-up) fare is $184, almost half of Qantas's Y (walk-up) fare of $330.
Virgin Blue's "Fully Flexible" fare represents value and convenience, enabling people to book and make changes even 30 minutes before their flight.
Since announcing Sydney-Melbourne and even before the release of its new business advertising campaign, numerous corporations have approached Virgin Blue, eager to abandon their travel contracts in favour of low fares.
"Like Virgin Blue, most businesses operate in a fiercely competitive environment. These businesses understand that the key to success is to provide a product that exceeds your customers' service expectations, while keeping their costs in check," finished Amanda Bolger.
Virgin Blue will be operating five daily return flights and plans to increase services later in the year in line with demand.
Virgin Blue operates the most modern, technologically advanced aircraft in Australia today, with an average age of less than 5 years, compared with Ansett's average fleet age of 11.7 years and Qantas with an average fleet age of 10.8 years. (Salomon Smith Barney 2001 Fleet handbook)

Prep and refrigerate all the ingredients the night before you plan to serve. The next day or eve, toss the pasta and remaining ingredients with the creamy dill dressing as directed.
A loaf of caraway rye bread, torn into chunks, or crusty hard rolls would go great with this dilly of a salad.

Very Stylish
"These shoes can make any foot look nice and refined! I got them in black and people think they are Louboutin because of their red bottom... I have got complemented on them a lot, but to tell the truth they are not comfortable. I wore them to a restaurant and I was hurting all night long even that all I was doing was just sitting."

"I love this pump! They run slightly short, but pretty much true to size. Definitely doesn't run large! It is slightly narrow in the toe, but that depends on how you wear pumps and how they fit on you. My recommendation would be to size up a half size, if you can."

Love Love Love!
"I was afraid because it was an open toe and open toes I usually get true to size so I was abit skeptical about getting it a half size too big because they had ran out of my size. But I'm glad I bought that half size bigger because it fit perfect! These heels run about half a size smaller than normal open toes I buy so I would recommend buying them half size larger. :) they amaze me with the comfort and it comes with a footbed! How awesome is that?! Not all heels come with cushioning pad at the bottom. I even plan on buying a second pair! The more the merrier! :3"

Leaf Litter Keeps Ground-Roosting Bats Warm
When winter weather arrives, most bats hibernate in caves, but a few species migrate to warmer areas. Warmer being relative, the migrating bats may still end up in places that are too cold for comfort, and sometimes hibernate under leaf litter for short periods of time.
Roger Perry, a wildlife biologist at the U.S. Forest Service's Southern Research Station, studied these temporary hibernation sites to find out how much protection they offered bats, and how much energy bats expend to stay alive.
The leaf litter study took place in and around the Alum Creek Experimental Forest of the Ouachita National Forest in Arkansas, and focuses on eastern red bats, a migratory species that remains active through most of the winter. When winter temperatures are not too cold the bats roost in trees, but when temperatures plunge, the bats temporarily hibernate underneath leaf litter. Read more »

"Flats? Uh, let's be honest, I only bought these because I injured my knee and couldn't walk in my usual 4" heels, LOL! These are cute though and match pretty well with most of my work outfits. Better than wearing my crocks or workout sneakers with a suit :-)"

"Love this cap toe ballet. Snug fit for a ballet flat due to the elastic in the top. Very comfortable, although leather sole is slippery and would consider vibram-type sole. Toe cap is mirror shiny and very striking. Color is a nice dark camel that goes with most everything. Am definitely considering the blue pair."

"I pick this up by chance and it's amazing how beautiful they fit on me. I was bit concern about the walking situation due to the metal piece on the toe but these are super comfortable for walking! They are great with any outfit I have put on so far and I just hope to find it in other color to give these flats some break."

"I loved these shoes so much, I had to buy a second pair just in case something happens to them. The leather is butter soft and the sole is the perfect amount of soft. I probably wear these too often because they feel so fantastic on my feet, and they are super cute!"

- The fear about what Iran might do with nuclear weapons is fed by the concern that Tehran has no clear reason to be pursuing nuclear weapons. The strategic rationale for Iran's nuclear program is by no means obvious. Unlike proliferators such as Israel or Pakistan, Iran faces no historic enemy who would welcome an opportunity to wipe the state off the face of the earth.
