European Energy Programme for Recovery - briefing09 March 2010
by eub2 -- last modified 09 March 2010
The European Commission selected on 4 March 43 major energy projects, which will significantly contribute to the economic recovery in the EU, while increasing our security of energy supply by creating cross-border infrastructure. With today's decision, the Commission grants € 2.3 billion to 31 gas and 12 electricity projects. This is the second financial decision under the Economic Recovery Package which amounts to almost 4 billion Euros. It is the largest amount the EU has ever spent on energy infrastructure.
What is the decision all about?
With the decision taken today, the EU Commission finances 12 projects in the electricity sector, and 31 in the gas sector (including 14 reverse flow projects and 2 Liquid Natural Gas terminals) amounting in total to €2.3 billion. We do not pay the full amount of the project but only up to 50% of its total costs. In many cases, the amount we give is the decisive amount missing for the project to start off. In most cases we contribute to specific actions or sub-actions mainly dealing with the conduct of technical studies, the ordering and supply of pipes or cables, of compressors or transformers, and with the financing of construction works or other interventions linked to environmental protection.
Why do you spend this money on infrastructure?
In 2008, the European economy faced a sharp downturn resulting from the financial crisis. Extraordinary and immediate efforts were needed to counter this serious and unprecedented economic situation. Part of the Economic Recovery Plan is to increase Union spending in defined strategic sectors – energy infrastructure, offshore wind and carbon capture and storage – which contribute to the EU meeting its ambitious energy and climate objectives, in addition to stimulating economy and safeguarding jobs. For this the EU set aside Euro 3,98 billion. In December 2009, the EU granted Euro 1,5 billion to offshore-wind-projects and projects in the field of CO2 Capture and Storage. Today's decision is the second financial decision amounting to Euro 2,3 billion.
To secure affordable, reliable and sustainable energy supplies over coming years and decades, the EU faces the urgent task of modernising, expanding, renewing and inter-connecting Europe's energy infrastructure. Generally, the EU energy system lacks diversity, flexibility and resilience to a crisis, such as occurred in January 2009. Member States, particularly in Eastern Europe and on the edges of the EU, need to be better connected to the rest of the EU.
How should these projects increase security of supply?
The gas crisis in January 2009 revealed the shortcomings of the European gas network. Citizens in South-Eastern Europe shivered while gas remained plentiful in places such as the UK and the Netherlands. The reason is that we lack to a large extent connections between national gas infrastructures which were designed largely along national lines. In addition, most big transit pipelines in Europe were designed to push gas one way: from East to West. The same can be said for the electricity grid. The new trans-Pyrenean interconnection will help France in case of overloads (for example during hot summers), or in difficult conditions (as it was recently the case with the disruption caused by the Klaus tempest).
Can you give three examples and how they make lives better for citizens?
a. A stepping-stone in this initiative is the creation of a real cross-border hub, including two corridors, between France and Spain. With this investment, much more gas can be transported from Spain to France and vice-versa. It will enable to convey energy from Spain to France and beyond to other European Member States. As this gas originates from North Africa, it helps diversifying gas supply in Europe. It will also help Spain exporting its surplus wind production in the months of high winds or solar energy also from Africa in the future. Energy from wind or solar energy can not be stored.
b. Similarly, the extension of the gas infrastructure related to the "Poland – Germany interconnector" will enable the transport of additional gas volumes from the Germany to the Poland at the Lasów node, in case of supply disruption in Eastern Europe, by increasing the capacity. This project of reverse flow will highly contribute to the security of supply – this means that gas can now flow in two directions.
c. The implementation of the Tranovice - Cieszyn - Skoczow pipeline project will allow for bidirectional gas flow between Poland and the Czech Republic. It is ensuring first direct connection between these networks and thus improving market integration in the region. The new gas pipeline will allow for a more secure natural gas supply of the citizens in the Polish region of Silezia, the Czech Republic, eliminating the negative impacts caused by the temporary supply cuts during the last years.
How did you select these projects?
When selecting the projects the Commission has taken into account multiple criteria that in particular refer to their achievement in having reached a reasonable degree of maturity, and contributing to:
- Security and diversification of sources of energy and supplies;
- Optimisation of the capacity of the network and the integration of the internal energy market, in particular concerning cross-border sections;
- Development of the network to strengthen economic and social cohesion by reducing the isolation of the less-favoured and island regions of the Community;
- Connection of renewable energy resources ;
- Safety, reliability and interoperability of interconnected networks; and
- Solidarity between Member States.
Who is running the projects?
The projects will be implemented by the project promoters who are in all cases by public or private undertakings who control the energy network. Member States will have a primary role of monitoring the work progress and approving the expenditure statements as the work will be progressing.
Nabucco? Why and what are you financing exactly?
Nabucco is a priority for the EU. Together with the other projects of the Southern Corridor, it is strategically important for improving Europe's security of supply. It has the highest potential to open up the new gas supplies in the Caspian Sea region and in the Middle East. The support can help substantially in accelerating this project. It should help to get the project off the ground and encourage the sponsors to take Final Investment Decision by the end of 2010 and start the construction by the end of 2011. It is an important political but also economic stimulus for the project.
The sponsors are very actively, and with success, working with the gas producers in the Caspian and Middle East regions to ensure that there will be enough gas to underpin the investment. It should be stressed that the gas is there and selling it to Europe is of strategic importance to both Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan. Europe in turn is highly interested in buying that gas and further diversifying its gas supply sources. Nabucco provides the solution needed by both, Europe and the regions rich in gas.
The Southern Corridor – which includes Nabucco – also includes the Italy-Greece-Turkey (so called Poseidon) project which receives Euro 100 Million today and some other smaller projects, in addition to Nabucco.
The overall package is EUR 4 billion. Is that enough?
The 4 billion euro invested in energy infrastructure, off-shore wind and carbon capture and storage projects will leverage considerable amounts of private funding in a difficult economic situation.
For the interconnections alone, the €2.3 billion that the Commission has decided today, will leverage total investments – national and private – worth some €22 billion in the coming 3–5 years. The leverage effect is thus 10-fold.
It will make the implementation possible and will accelerate the delivery of projects that cannot currently advance due to funding limitations, particularly severe under the current economic circumstances. Without the Recovery Plan support many, if not all, of the projects would face serious delays because of lower demand and difficult access to finance. market financing opportunities for projects.

"American Idol" finished its auditions with a trip to Denver, and the Mile High City did not disappoint. There were enough "Idol" hopefuls who brought along cute little kids that it was sometimes hard to tell whether this was a singing competition or the waiting area for "SuperNanny."
Being a single parent has always been a great strategy for getting airtime during the audition rounds, but this season has seen a record number of hopefuls with children waiting anxiously to hear whether Mom or Dad sang well enough to impress judges Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi, Randy Jackson and the celebrity guest. It worked like a charm in Denver before the trio and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham, who was back as guest judge. Either those Mommy and Me singing classes are paying off, or 19 Entertainment is looking to expand its brand by opening a series of "American Idol" daycare centers.
'Law & Order: Idol Victims Unit'
Mark Labriola looked like a cross between actor Jack Black and former "Idol" finalist Chris Sligh, and had a backstory that turned the "Idol" set into a virtual courtroom. Labriola said that as a small boy he was taken by his mother against his father's wishes and was on the run for years, which caused Simon to grill him about the experience as if he were auditioning for Dick Wolf's next "Law & Order" spinoff.
U.S. & World
Though he looked like a contestant brought on strictly for the humor value, Labriola sang well enough to earn an easy ticket to Hollywood despite the misleading first impression.
"When you walked in, at first I got a little bit angry because I thought you were going to do something quite jokey," Beckham said, but since she learned from the little children in the audience not to judge a book by its cover, she joined in the chorus to send him onward.
Any child will do
At 16, Tori Kelly didn't have any kids of her own, so she brought in some neighbors' kids instead to serve as her cheering section in the hallway. That and a solid vocal performance was good enough to send her to Hollywood, and it didn't hurt that one of the girls she brought had drawn pictures of all the judges. Even a famous Hollywood reality TV star needs something to hang on their stainless steel refrigerator.
Saved from corporations by … the corporation
With its constant marketing muscle and product placement skills, there aren't many shows that are more corporate than "Idol." Maybe you think that would make Danielle Hayes an unsympathetic candidate, since she was in tears at the mere thought that she could escape her current fate of hosting karaoke and singing for corporate audiences.
Instead Simon praised her by saying, "You're almost broken. You may have come here just in time for us to rescue you from corporate hell."
Um … if she's really looking to escape the insidious influence of corporations, perhaps the jewel of the Fox and 19 Entertainment portfolios is the last place she should be escaping to.
Long snapper comes up short
Beckham knows all about athletes — she's married to one of the best, soccer star David Beckham. So you would think she'd be sympathetic to the quest of the University of Colorado long snapper, Austin Paul, in his quest to advance to the Hollywood round on "Idol." Alas, that was not the case. The Spice Girl turned down Paul's request to fulfill task No. 42 on his list of things to do before he dies. Maybe he should take up soccer instead and try again next year.
Frequent flier
Nicci Nix flew 14 hours from Florence, Italy, for the auditions, and when she opened her mouth for the first time, her high-pitched squeak made it seem like the effort would be wasted. But though she talked like someone with a helium addiction, she sang in a deeper voice and received a golden ticket to Hollywood. The good news is that she earned enough miles on the trip from Florence that she would have gotten a free ticket to Hollywood anyway.
Equal opportunity offenders
"Idol" may have been criticized for the whole Bikini Girl saga a year ago, but proved in Denver that it could be sexist toward men as well. First, Casey James was given a ticket to Hollywood only after DioGuardi and Beckham ordered him to let his hair down and take off his shirt. Then, Ty Hemmerling got a good 60 seconds of airtime dressed up as Bikini Boy. Isn't equality grand?

About an hour and a half south of Springfield, meandering down highway 127 to where it intersects Interstate 70, is the town of Greenville. According to the town fathers it has been hailed as "a Norman Rockwell town," or "a town for all seasons." With the picturesque square featuring the Bond County Courthouse, a Civil War statute and murals outside the old-fashioned buildings, just driving around town is a fun thing to do.
If you come to town on Saturday afternoon, there are several great treats awaiting a family out to enjoy an afternoon getaway. While downtown, the first stop you'll want to make is the quirky and fun DeMoulin Museum. The museum is advertised as "featuring lodge initiation paraphernalia and regalia, band uniforms, lodge and church furniture, and vintage photos and other artifacts."
The museum reflects the rich and diverse history of Demoulin Bros. and Co., headquartered in Greenville, which today is the nation's leading manufacturer of marching band uniforms and color guard uniforms. Founded in 1892, the company initially manufactured lodge furniture and fraternal regalia. Then it made military uniforms for World War I and World War II. In the early 1900s it started making uniforms for town bands and for high schools and colleges across the country. In addition, DeMoulin made graduation caps and gowns until the early 1980s. Today's products, in addition to band uniforms, include public safety uniforms for law enforcement, fire departments and transit works. The company, which also has a plant in Centralia, employs about 250 people.
John Goldsmith, the founder of the DeMoulin Museum, followed a dream initiated by his mother, Norma, who was an employee of DeMoulin's for 50 years. "Mom had adopted this as her hobby," he said.
In 2005, Goldsmith published a book titled Three Frenchmen and a Goat which, as you can guess, was all about the DeMoulin Bros. and Co. After the book, the museum was the next step to share the story of this amazing trio of brothers and the products they offered in the Greenville area. With 99 percent of the items coming from Norma Goldsmith's collection, this was truly a family affair. The museum just opened this past March and already has had more than 600 visitors.
John Goldsmith and Amy Dreweil explained that Northcott became active in the Modern Woodmen of America Lodge and was interested in coming up with an entertaining way to add members. Knowing that Edmund "Ed" DeMoulin was a talented inventor, Northcott asked him to create some initiation gags to boost that group's membership. This was the beginning of what would become a major business. All three DeMoulin brothers were educated in the family blacksmith business but it was Ed DeMoulin who originally had moved to Greenville and opened a photography studio. Brother Ulysses was the business mind of the three DeMoulin brothers and together their talents combined to create a wide array of wonderful items that can be seen in this fun museum. "The initiation paraphernalia first started in 1896 and took off until around 1930," Goldsmith said. A master blacksmith named Erastus made the factory's first lodge goats at the family blacksmith shop in Sebastopol and then transported them 20 miles by wagon to Greenville.
The museum offers postcards of some of the prank items, which include an Invisible Paddle Machine, a Ferris Wheel Coaster Goat, a Trick Chair, a Lung Machine and much more. Goldsmith explained how some of these items worked: "The Trick Chair would collapse on the floor when a candidate would sit down and a wire was pulled in the back. The Traitors Judgment Stand was a platform that would collapse and fire a cartridge when someone stood on it."
One of the quirkiest of the prank items is a guillotine accompanied by a mannequin in an executioner uniform and wig made by the company. Goldsmith said that it had originally gone to a lodge in St. Louis who sent it back because it was too scary. While adults all react the same way, he said that children get a kick out of it and look at it through different eyes.
The factory also made church furniture and the museum has a sample of the latest band uniform made in the still-active factory. "Diversity kept them alive," Goldsmith added.
A new book is due out soon about the DeMoulin Brothers and famed illusionist David Copperfield penned the entry. Out of the array of items in the museum, John Goldsmith said his personal favorite is of a bowling shirt for youngsters that were on the DeMoulin bowling team. "It is that personal connection," he shared. "This museum is a story about people. It is a people-driven story about the founders and employees."
Located at 110 W. Main Greenville, the museum is open Friday 1-3, Saturday 10-2 and Sunday, 2-4. Call 618-664-4115 to schedule a tour or for questions.

Guttman Scaling
Guttman scaling is also sometimes known as cumulative scaling or scalogram analysis. The purpose of Guttman scaling is to establish a one-dimensional continuum for a concept you wish to measure. What does that mean? Essentially, we would like a set of items or statements so that a respondent who agrees with any specific question in the list will also agree with all previous questions. Put more formally, we would like to be able to predict item responses perfectly knowing only the total score for the respondent. For example, imagine a ten-item cumulative scale. If the respondent scores a four, it should mean that he/she agreed with the first four statements. If the respondent scores an eight, it should mean they agreed with the first eight. The object is to find a set of items that perfectly matches this pattern. In practice, we would seldom expect to find this cumulative pattern perfectly. So, we use scalogram analysis to examine how closely a set of items corresponds with this idea of cumulativeness. Here, I'll explain how we develop a Guttman scale.
Define the Focus
As in all of the scaling methods. we begin by defining the focus for our scale. Let's imagine that you wish to develop a cumulative scale that measures U.S. citizen attitudes towards immigration. You would want to be sure to specify in your definition whether you are talking about any type of immigration (legal and illegal) from anywhere (Europe, Asia, Latin and South America, Africa).
Develop the Items
Next, as in all scaling methods, you would develop a large set of items that reflect the concept. You might do this yourself or you might engage a knowledgeable group to help. Let's say you came up with the following statements:
- I would permit a child of mine to marry an immigrant.
- I believe that this country should allow more immigrants in.
- I would be comfortable if a new immigrant moved next door to me.
- I would be comfortable with new immigrants moving into my community.
- It would be fine with me if new immigrants moved onto my block.
- I would be comfortable if my child dated a new immigrant.
Of course, we would want to come up with many more statements (about 80-100 would be desirable).
Rate the Items
Next, we would want to have a group of judges rate the statements or items in terms of how favorable they are to the concept of immigration. They would give a Yes if the item was favorable toward immigration and a No if it is not. Notice that we are not asking the judges whether they personally agree with the statement. Instead, we're asking them to make a judgment about how the statement is related to the construct of interest.
Develop the Cumulative Scale
The key to Guttman scaling is in the analysis. We construct a matrix or table that shows the responses of all the respondents on all of the items. We then sort this matrix so that respondents who agree with more statements are listed at the top and those agreeing with fewer are at the bottom. For respondents with the same number of agreements, we sort the statements from left to right from those that most agreed to to those that fewest agreed to. We might get a table something like the figure. Notice that the scale is very nearly cumulative when you read from left to right across the columns (items). Specifically if someone agreed with Item 7, they always agreed with Item 2. And, if someone agreed with Item 5, they always agreed with Items 7 and 2. The matrix shows that the cumulativeness of the scale is not perfect, however. While in general, a person agreeing with Item 3 tended to also agree with 5, 7 and 2, there are several exceptions to that rule.
While we can examine the matrix if there are only a few items in it, if there are lots of items, we need to use a data analysis called scalogram analysis to determine the subsets of items from our pool that best approximate the cumulative property. Then, we review these items and select our final scale elements. There are several statistical techniques for examining the table to find a cumulative scale. Because there is seldom a perfectly cumulative scale we usually have to test how good it is. These statistics also estimate a scale score value for each item. This scale score is used in the final calculation of a respondent's score.
Administering the Scale
Once you've selected the final scale items, it's relatively simple to administer the scale. You simply present the items and ask the respondent to check items with which they agree. For our hypothetical immigration scale, the items might be listed in cumulative order as:
- I believe that this country should allow more immigrants in.
- I would be comfortable with new immigrants moving into my community.
- It would be fine with me if new immigrants moved onto my block.
- I would be comfortable if a new immigrant moved next door to me.
- I would be comfortable if my child dated a new immigrant.
- I would permit a child of mine to marry an immigrant.
Of course, when we give the items to the respondent, we would probably want to mix up the order. Our final scale might look like:
|INSTRUCTIONS: Place a check next to each statement you agree with.
Each scale item has a scale value associated with it (obtained from the scalogram analysis). To compute a respondent's scale score we simply sum the scale values of every item they agree with. In our example, their final value should be an indication of their attitude towards immigration.

CRESTVIEW � The sleek 1960s sports car that launched its own class of American automobiles � and millions of drivers� devotion � now has its own club in north Okaloosa County.
The Shoal River Mustang Club welcomes Mustang owners and fans of the popular vehicle to its fold.
Next year is the car�s 50th anniversary, said Russ Chamberlain, a local Mustang owner and one of the Shoal River Mustang Club's organizers. Ford plans a sixth generation of the car for 2014, he said.
"I can't wait to see what they're going to do with it," Chamberlain said.
The Ford Mustang, built on the Falcon sedan�s chassis, was introduced to American drivers on April 17, 1964, at the New York World�s Fair. Sales took off and surpassed Ford Motor Company's expectations of 100,000 sold in its first year. More than a million Mustangs were snatched up in the first 18 months of production. Five generations of the car have been created since 1964.
The Mustang created the �pony car� class, which includes classic vehicles such as the Chevrolet Camaro, the Dodge Challenger and the Plymouth Barracuda.
Chamberlain said many members of the Shoal River club, sponsored by Hub City Ford, drive newer Mustang generations than his 1964 1/2 convertible, which rolled down the assembly line in Dearborn, Mich., in June 1964.
Want to go?
Mustang owners and fans may join the Shoal River Mustang Club, which meets in Crestview on the first Tuesday of even-numbered months. The club meets in neighboring communities for odd-numbered months. Visit the club on Facebook or at www.shoalrivermustangs.net.

President Obama travels to Ramallah on Thursday to meet with Palestinian leaders; the question for many is what message he will bring to them. The tone for his first trip to Israel as president has so far been one of reconciliation.
While there may be a great deal of good intention behind this visit, and the desire to achieve lasting peace is a real one, it must be clear to all sides that we cannot and should not repeat the mistakes of the past. Indeed, an American push to jump-start negotiations is the easy way out. While there is a degree of consensus that resuming talks should be the next step, we should realize by now just how futile that would be. It has come to the point where just holding talks is perceived as an achievement.
The negotiations have all strived to achieve a two-state solution, which now must be considered a fallacy. Its time has passed.
The truth is that a two-state solution was always an unachievable goal because there is no real middle ground between the basic demands of both the Israelis and the Palestinians. From Oslo to Annapolis, the key issues of Jerusalem, refugees, sovereignty, and territorial swaps have never been even close to being resolved.
In his first two years in office, Obama followed the track that led to impasse after impasse. Since then, his policies have come to recognize the complexities of the situation on the ground. There is still a keen desire to bring the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to an end, but it might not be as others had envisioned. The entire international community needs to shift its focus to goals that can be achieved in the immediate future and bring about true change.
Our efforts must be focused on bringing about improvement in the everyday lives of Israelis and Palestinians. First and foremost, it is time to put an end to violence. Every man, woman, and child has the right not to live in fear. Be it rocks or live ammunition, attacks should not be tolerated and should be severely prosecuted. That responsibility sits squarely on the shoulders of the Israeli security forces and must not be shirked.
It is time to assure that everyone can go about their daily lives in peace. If security conditions permit it, we must begin to lift all travel restrictions, dismantle the remaining checkpoints and, eventually, take down the security barrier Israel was forced to build following the seemingly endless cycle of terror attacks in the early 2000s.
Improving human rights, which have always been sorely abused by Israel's neighbors, must become the linchpin for improving conditions for our peoples.
We must also address the issue of the Palestinian refugee camps, where conditions have severely deteriorated. The time has come to create proper housing. No one should have to tolerate living in squalor. Moreover, the Palestinians living there should not be considered refugees.
Other areas that need to be addressed are the economy and social services. It is time for the world to put its money where its mouth is and support joint economic projects between Israelis and Palestinians. Today, tens of thousands of Palestinians are employed alongside Israelis. We should aim to double, triple, and even quadruple that number as soon as possible. We need backing to expand health care, improve water quality, and manage environmental hazards, which are in need of immediate attention.
There is much work that needs to be done; the chance for lasting peace grows dimmer with each day that goes by when these issues aren't addressed.
At the invitation of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, I was part of a large delegation of decision-makers who had the pleasure of welcoming Obama at Ben Gurion airport upon his arrival on Wednesday. I'm sure that almost everyone there would like to have five minutes alone with the president to share their views with him. If I had that opportunity, I would advise Obama that peace is attainable, but it must come from the bottom up. If he chooses to support that path, he will create tangible change in people's lives and a game changer for regional dialogue.

While in the US the Obama administration has said it will abandon the nuclear waste disposal project at Yucca Mountain and has set up a "blue-ribbon" commission on America's future management of nuclear waste, in Europe, two countries (Sweden and Finland) have already selected a disposal site for nuclear waste and France will specify a location by 2013. In a number of other European countries (e.g. Switzerland and UK), geological disposal is the reference management option and things are moving forward to the site selection stage.
In Europe, almost one third of the electricity consumed is produced by nuclear power. With a total of 145 reactors in operation in 15 countries (data from 2007) and 8 new reactors under construction, nuclear energy is set to remain as part of the energy-mix. On the policy side, the target is to reduce CO2 emissions by 20% by 2020. Increased sustainability of nuclear energy in the long term, through deployment of Gen-IV systems, is also one of the key technology challenges in the EU's Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan). In the shorter term, the SET-Plan also identifies developing long-term waste management solutions as a priority.
Even if all nuclear reactors were shut down today, the accumulated nuclear waste would still need to be taken care of, and as the European Commission already stated in 2008 "many scientific and technical areas important to geological disposal have reached maturity level, and moving towards implementation should be encouraged and facilitated" . Nevertheless, such decisions belong to national authorities. Yet, there is a joint awareness that continued and strengthened cooperation on the scientific, technical and societal challenges of geological disposal is beneficial for its safe and timely implementation. This is the rationale behind IGD-TP (www.igdtp.eu).
Technology platforms are meant to provide a framework for stakeholders, led by industry, to define research and development (R&D) priorities, timeframes and action plans. In the case of IGD-TP, the eight founding organisations belong to countries where nuclear is a well-established part of the energy mix: Belgium (ONDRAF/NIRAS), Finland (Posiva Oy), France (ANDRA), Germany (BMWi), Spain (ENRESA), Sweden (SKB), Switzerland (Nagra) and United Kingdom (NDA). Since the formal launch of IGD-TP, some 30 other European industrial and R&D bodies have endorsed the platform's vision document and applied for membership. There is also interest from bodies outside Europe.
These organisations have committed themselves to build confidence in the safety of geological disposal, encourage the establishment of waste management programmes that integrate it as the accepted option, facilitate access to expertise and technology, and maintain competences in this field. The objective is to facilitate the stepwise implementation of geological disposal by resolving any remaining scientific, technological and social challenges.
Current situation
In the world, each year, nuclear power reactors create enough spent fuel to fill a football field to a depth of 1.5 metres, with a weight of about 10,500 tons.
In Europe, France and UK use the spent fuel reprocessing option and Belgium, Switzerland and Germany have used it until recently. Finland and Sweden are actively pursuing the option of direct disposal of spent fuel. In the majority of countries with nuclear power plants, a definitive spent fuel policy does not exist, other than arrangements to ensure a safe extended period of storage either at the nuclear reactor sites or in a centralised facility (50-100 years).
Is geological disposal the only option?
In 2008, the Radioactive Waste Management Committee of the Nuclear Energy Agency published a collective statement entitled "Moving Forward with Geological Disposal of Radioactive Waste" , urging progress towards implementing geological disposal as the option for final disposal of spent fuel or the high-level waste from reprocessing.
This recommendation points out that other alternatives have been carefully studied in the past and discarded by the international scientific and technical community, such as: launching the nuclear waste into the space, ocean dumping, disposal under continental glaciers, sub-seabed disposal and long-term supervised storage.
In addition, the committee pointed out that even if the high-level waste volumes (and long-term radiotoxicity) decrease with partitioning and transmutation, there will still be ultimate wastes remaining that will require geological disposal.
The principles behind this recommendation are:
- Geological disposal provides a unique level and duration of protection for high activity long-lived radioactive waste;
- The overwhelming scientific consensus world-wide is that it is technically feasible;
- It can be accommodated in a broad range of geological settings.
In addition, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has published various reports with guidelines for sitting geological repositories and their safety requirements.
Challenges ahead
There are scientific, technological, social and political challenges ahead, as expressed within the IGD-TP vision document. Extensive research, development and demonstration (RD&D) work has been carried out as part of national programmes and with significant support from the Euratom Framework Programmes (some €300M over 25 years). As a European Commission Joint Research Centre report has highlighted, the continuation of R&D activities in certain areas is not a sign of immaturity or lack of confidence, but an effort to reinforce the validity of decisions or to further increase safety margins.
Remaining scientific and technical challenges include:
- the further reduction in uncertainties regarding the predictions on the repository behaviour in the very long term,
- understanding when knowledge is sufficient for well founded decision-making,
- how to transfer the results of RD&D activities into proven and reliable technologies, and
- aspects related to operational safety of repositories.
It will be a major challenge by an implementer to produce a safety case and license application for a deep geological repository, and a major challenge by a regulator to review such an application. The work within IGD-TP will greatly facilitate these tasks, and over the next few months the platform will be developing its all-important Strategic Research Agenda and Deployment Strategy More information

text: Being conservation-minded individuals, Aquarium staff are very reluctant to throw anything away. So over time, many of the creative ways we have found to reuse or recycle have come from a staff member taking the initiative to say, "My department uses a lot of this item. Is there something we can do with it besides throw it away?" When the marine mammal trainers got new wetsuits, they contacted our Internal Conservation Committee (ICC), asking to help save the old ones from the dumpster. After a bit of research, the team decided to make drink cozies out of them. As a result of that project, 53 wetsuits became 575 bottle cozies, which were sold in our gift shop. In turn, we kept 92 pounds of neoprene out of landfills! This year, another project came up in a similar way. Our annual marketing campaigns include printed vinyl banners that line the city and adorn our buildings. After every campaign has ended, the banners are pulled down and put in storage. This is just one of the many old campaign banners we transformed! Recently, employees were cleaning out the warehouse when they came across stacks of banners going back many years. Once again, a diligent employee called the ICC for ideas. The colorful graphics and vinyl material inspired us to create something even bigger, tote bags! It took a while to find the right vendor, but eventually a former Aquarium employee (and former ICC chair!) mentioned that her sister-in-law had found success in her hometown of Indianapolis upcycling old material into tote bags and selling them at farmers markets. Her name is Jen Eiler. She has worked with many organizations including museums, markets, coffee houses (burlap coffee bean bags!) and even the Super Bowl to do just what we were looking to do with their old marketing materials! Thus, our "banner bags" were born. We're very excited to be able to offer these great totes to the public! If you're looking for a great gift for your eco-conscious friends and family, we've got you covered. To grab a banner bag, make sure to stop by our gift shop during your next visit!

His Toughness Problem—and Ours
World War IV: The Long Struggle Against Islamofascism
Not so long before the war in Iraq was launched, I was the only European at an American dinner party in Brussels. My fellow guests were a motley group of youngish diplomats, think-tank pundits, ex-spooks, and journalists, most of whom had established reputations as promoters of neoconservatism. Many topics were discussed, but two stand out in my memory: French wines and the "projection of force." Despite the praise for fine French wines, "the Europeans" were rather sneered at, as namby-pamby, frivolous, anti-Semitic appeasers, too far gone in spineless pacifism and political decadence to share America's burden of projecting force to make the world safe for democracy. They spoke with great confidence about military matters, of which none of them, to my knowledge, had any personal experience.
Listening to them talk, I tried to imagine what it must have been like to have been a youngish Old Etonian Foreign Office man at a smart London club around the time of the Boer War. I imagine it might have been something like that Brussels dinner party—the same sense of being just within fingertip reach of great power, the heady feeling of shouldering the burdens of that great power, and the contempt for those who fail to understand its basic benevolence, or indeed that a certain amount of unpleasantness ("messy" was the word in Brussels) is inevitable when such benevolence is to be spread forcefully to the benighted world.
If Irving Kristol is the godfather of neoconservatism, Norman Podhoretz is the patriarch. Podhoretz himself might not see all neocons as his intellectual offspring, although his son John has certainly followed in his footsteps. In fact, Podhoretz has a rather narrow definition of neoconservatism. He talks about "repentant liberals and leftists," mostly Jewish, who broke ranks with the left and "moved rightward" in the 1970s. "Strictly speaking," he says, "only those who fitted this description ought to have been called neo- (i.e., new) conservatives." Those who mimic the views of their parents (John P., say, or William Kristol) cannot be called "new." True, but simply to call them conservatives (or vieux cons, as the French would say) would not do justice to the Napoleonic radicalism of their project.
Since he brings the matter up himself, it is worth pondering why Jews have played such a prominent part in the short history of neoconservatism, despite the fact that most American Jews would still regard themselves as liberals. Much has already been written on this topic, some of it scurrilous; conspiracies and so forth. Could it have something to do with an old attraction to utopian visions of universal liberty, which once drew many Jews to the left? Or with the traditional appeal of strong, benevolent empires, from the monarchy of Franz Joseph to George W. Bush's republic, as shields against bigots, racists, and tyrants? Of course, the specter of 1938, of not nipping a mortal danger in…

Points of Pride – Making a Difference in the World
The liberal arts and sciences are inextricably linked with key advances in human knowledge that have "made a difference in the world."
These advances have been made in the natural and computational sciences, social sciences, and the humanities and arts alike—encouraging a better understanding of human nature, the way societies function, and the world around us. They have dramatically altered all aspects of human life.
Rather than studying these subjects in a vaccum, our students learn values that they can use to help make our world a better place. Our faculty inspire students to:
- enhance their knowledge of themselves and their world,
- make wise decisions in both their personal lives and the public affairs arena, and
- enrich cultural and intellectual life in their community.
Moreover, instruction provides a collaborative and supportive environment in which to explore facts and theories, and to examine the presumptions, values, and perceptions underlying our conceptions of self and society.
We also encourage students to serve their community through the Experiential and Service Learning Program, which provides an opportunity for students to contribute to non-profit agencies and gain practical experience in comminuty-based problem solving skills.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Sillylikeputty from Cute but thinner than previos ones This is overpriced for what it is. I thought I would be getting the same tank top I bought used from Poshmark but this is way thinner. Also this size small is definitely smaller than the other size small. Looks like the quality has decreased over time.

Rated 2 out of 5 by debsM from Fabric cheaper than previously I already have two of these basic white tanks and love them because they're long. I ordered another, as I wear them often...and this one came with a thinner, cheaper feeling fabric. I don't know if they've changed it and are trying to pass it off as the same as the ones I ordered last year or what. But I returned it, it was not worth $40 for something that feels like the $12 tanks I've purchased elsewhere. I was paying the extra money and buying from Sweaty Betty because the quality and style was excellent. But this last one feels totally different and I was very disappointed that they may be downgrading their fabric/quality.

Rated 5 out of 5 by debbim from Love this basic staple! This is such a great tank for layering...I need to get a couple more because I find I wear it almost every day under something. It does run a bit small compared to other sweaty betty items and I had to order a size up or it would have been way too tight and not as long as I like it.

Demonstrators rallied outside Pasadena City Hall Tuesday evening. They said that they're calling for justice for Trayvon Martin, the Florida teenager shot and killed by a neighborhood watchmen and showing support for the family of 19-year old Kendrec McDade.The family is suing the city and its police department for alleged civil rights violations and wrongful death.
"Even though we laid your son to rest this past Saturday, we will not walk away," said Martin Gordon, the rally's organizer. "We are not going to leave you."
Pasadena police shot and killed McDade on March 24 when a 911 caller lied about being robbed at gunpoint. Police, who believed McDade was armed, say McDade reached for his waistband as he approached the patrol car. That's when a series of shots were fired, although its unclear how many.
More than 60 people gathered to listen to community leaders, members of the NAACP, and the family of Kendrec McDade speak. During the demonstration, McDade's mother held a picture of Kendrec McDade and fought back tears as the teen's father, Kenneth McDade, said the police department needed to be held accountable.
"As long as we don't do nothing about it and just let them get away with it, it's going to keep on happening over and over," said Kenneth McDade.
The father, Kenneth McDade, said it's been difficult explaining to his other children what has happened. He said they are now afraid of the police.
A coalition of Pasadena organizations hosted and attended the event. They held signs proclaiming the names of other men who have been killed by police, including the dates each died and their manner of death. The crowd lit white candles in memory of Kendrec McDade and Trayvon Martin as they bowed their heads for a moment of silence.
Pasadena resident Mary Bell said she attended the rally because she is concerned about the reasoning Pasadena police gave for shooting McDade. She said the waistband story seems to be a reoccurring theme.
"To me, that's getting to be an old hat," Bell said. "One gets away with that story and then another one comes along and uses it."
Three independent investigations, including one with the FBI, have been launched. Caree Harper, the attorney representing the family of McDade, said she wants the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate.
"There is a cover up amongst us," she shouted to the crowd, "and we need to get to the bottom of it because until we get to the bottom of it, it's going to keep coming. And tomorrow it might be your son."
Some community members are reportedly to attend a closed-door meeting with Pasadena police on Wednesday. Several closed-door meetings with select community activists have already taken place, and there's been at least one large public meeting at a Pasadena church.
This story has been updated.

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Bill Hancock gives his unbiased opinion of the BCS bowls.
Bill Hancock joined KFNS in St. Louis with King's Court to discuss LSU having to beat Alabama again, teams earning their way into this position, if it's definitively the top two teams in the country, why Oklahoma State's not in the game, why other top-10 teams got snubbed, the possibility of split national champions, those who think the first Bama-LSU game was boring and if every game truly counts at this point.
How would you feel if you were Les Miles and you had beaten Alabama on the road and finished ahead of them and still needed to beat then again, on a neutral site, to win the national championship?:
"You would want the season to be over, just like a team might want a game to be over in the bottom of the seventh. You want a rainout when you're leading in the bottom of the seventh. No matter what system there is for football, this kind of a rematch situation could come up. If there was a tournament at the end, it could come up."
Yeah, but when it happens in basketball it's because the teams have earned their way there:
"I think Alabama's earned their way into this game. Once again, I think the BCS has delivered. We've got the best two teams in this game and obviously, the media who votes in the AP poll, agrees with it."
You honestly believe the title game will pit the best two teams against each other?:
"Yeah, I do. Oklahoma State closed the gap this weekend; there's no question about it. … We have the narrowest margin between two and three that we've ever had in the BCS, But, I think if you talk to all the observers of college football, they're saying that this is the best two teams."
More on why Alabama over Oklahoma State was right:
"Alabama lost to the No. 1 team by a field goal, at home, in overtime, and, bless their heart, Oklahoma State lost to a team with a .500 record."
How can the BCS put West Virginia, Virginia Tech and Michigan in games over the likes of Boise State or TCU?:
"Everybody knows what the rules are. They knew at the start of the season what the rules are. The teams that are in the top 14 are eligible to be selected at-large by one of the bowls. Bowl selections, the history and tradition of the bowls, is that the bowls have the opportunity to choose the teams that they feel are best for their market. … Of course West Virginia was an automatic qualifier as the conference champion."
Do you think there's a chance we could have split national champions?:
"Oh it's fun to talk about hypotheticals. I wouldn't know about that. I guess I would be surprised if that happened."
On the rematch of a game that didn't have a touchdown scored:
"I think football purists loved that football game. I don't know how you could say that an overtime thriller like that was dull. Would people who are wishing we didn't have a rematch, would they feel differently about a rematch if that game had been a 49-42 game?"
It just doesn't seem fair that LSU has to beat Alabama again:
"I get that. On the other hand, if you had a tournament, it's quite likely that they'd have to beat them again."
But how do you stick with the mantra that every game counts if the first meeting between the teams basically didn't count?:
"Every game certainly counts in all the computer rankings and counts in the mind of the 174 people who vote in the two human polls. Who knows how things might have been different if Alabama beat LSU. … It turns out that it didn't [hurt Alabama], but it could have."

Suzie P. Glendale AZ Posted 12/21/15 Yelp "Hidden Review" 5/5 Stars
i had to have my cat who was over 23 yrs. old put down this year. it was one of the hardest things i've ever had to do. dr. brown and the staff were so kind and compassionate during the process. a couple of days later i received a nice sympathy card which each of the staff signed. my sister lives on the other side of town and was with me that day. she was very pleased with the care we received and she said when she gets another dog, she'll take him there even though it's across town.
Julie C. Glendale AZ Posted 9/17/15 Yelp "Hidden Review" 5/5 Stars
Dr. Day has been taking care of my baby, Snickers, for over a year. She has received excellent care, and the office staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. I was there just a few days ago with Snickers for some lab work, and when I left, my car wouldn't start. My battery had completely died. Our vet tech came out with her vehicle and gave us a jump. I would highly recommend this hospital and Dr. Day for anyone's pets.
Mike S. Glendale AZ Posted 7/6/15 Yelp "Hidden Review" 5/5 Stars
Dr. Day and Dr Brown are great and very professional. Staff is professional and caring. I have alway felt fairly treated, fairly priced and they have never ever pushed extra care or expenses on me. I drive across town to go to them and highly recommend. Care A+ Cost A+ Professionalism and Service A+
Corissa M. Peoria AZ Posted 2/23/15 Yelp "Hidden Review" 5/5 Stars
I cant say enough good things about Dr Day and Dr Brown!
I have been going to Glendale animal hospital for a good 10 years maybe a bit longer. I had a lovely German shepherd, for years she saw Dr Day and he was wonderful with her. he would make sure everyone that came in to help with her care knew she was a sweet girl. He not only treated my Maggie Mae with care and respect but he treated me with it also, always telling me exactly what my options were without making me feel pressured. Dr Brown Started caring for Maggie when she came into the practice, she is an absolute jem! When my Maggie got arthritis she took her time going over the xrays and explaining where it was how much she had and a treatment plan that had a few different options to fit any budget. They always fit us in no matter what day or time we called, sometimes it would be my older teen daughter taking Maggie in and they always treated her with respect, making sure they answered all her questions. 3 weeks ago i had to rush Maggie in at 4pm , i called in a panic and they got us right in, literally as soon as i walked through the door i was in a room and Dr Brown came in. after assessing that Maggie wasnt poisoned, Dr Brown took blood and xrays. unfortunately it wasnt good news. Maggie didnt have much of a chance of surviving surgery and if she did the tumors had a 50% chance of being cancerous. My Maggie was 13 years old and lived a wonderful life she was much loved and gave back much love. As i made the choice not to put her through a surgery at her age and let her go with me next to her, Dr Brown hugged me as i cried. Dr Brown took time explaining to me, then my family one they got there what would happen, what to expect. They gave us as long as we wanted to say our good byes and to cry while we got our last kisses and pets in. Once we gave them the ok it was over in seconds, my beautiful Maggie was at peace and no longer in pain.I had an amazing 13 years with her and Dr Brown, Dr Day and their whole staff helped stretch it to 13 amazing years with their love and care for animals.
Thank you so much for all you do.
As to the 1 star postings about cost.... i started going here because the other vet we seen cost 350 for a check up and a vaccine. We stayed because of the excellent care. i never noticed the cost going up over the years i think they are very reasonable in price.

I have 2 pups! I brought my Pomeranian in for a mouth infection and for fractions of the cost of other vets they did teeth extractions, meds, etc. They were uber sweet with my little guy. Recently I brought both dogs in, we were welcomed with smiles, the doctor got to my dogs quickly. Both of them got the up most pampering to make them feel comfortable. Dr Day was amazing with the teeth extraction, my pom is now able to chew and be a comfortable dog. Dr. Brown is Amazing and sweet. I tell everyone how great they are!!!

I know you tend to keep the losses in B&W - the mess aren't worth the paint - but, as a fan of your art, I would love to see one last piece in vivid color before we close it out (win or lose).ReplyDelete
This blog is going to be a MUST HAVE when it documents a playoff season (I'd love 86', but I'd settle for 88' or even 99'...). If I ever saw this on the shelves at Barnes and Noble - it would make it home to my coffee table in a heart beat.
Also - love "Heaven Rocks"
Go Jets.
Ouch this was one horrid series.ReplyDelete
The Brewers...its the sucky how can we lose the game today Brewers, lol.
With all this talk of a new manager Willie has not come up until most recently, more than likely due to this series (the Brewers were like the rock he crawled under). You really think he will get any consideration by the Mets?
I'll be surprised, but we could do worse.

Transportation Planning
Pima Association of Governments works with local governments, the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Arizona Department of Economic Security (DES), community agencies and interested citizens in developing plans and recommendations for the allocation of federal Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) and other federal, state and local funds for services that help people in need.
In particular, the funding for Human Services helps address the social services needs of children, youth at risk, families in crisis, low income individuals, homeless, elderly and persons with disabilities.
Approximately $1.5 million in SSBG funding is contracted by DES to local agencies to respond to the locally identified needs in the plan. The SSBG plan is amended as needed throughout the year. PAG works with member jurisdictions and local agencies to identify priority needs, explore options, establish goals and develop partnerships with interested stakeholders. A regional Social Services Planning Committee meets several times annually to coordinate regional responses to community needs.
PAG also prepares a Public Transit - Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan that identifies human services transportation needs, barriers to meeting those needs and recommends strategies to increase mobility options in the region. The 5310 federal grant program provides annual funding for implementing these strategies and specific projects identified by the Coordinated Transportation Plan.
The 5310 federal grant program assists nonprofit agencies in acquiring vehicles to transport elderly and disabled clients.
Section 5310 Program
Pima Association of Governments manages the federal Section 5310 program for the region. Also known as the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities, the 5310 program assists nonprofit agencies in acquiring and operating vehicles to transport older adults and persons with disabilities. Agencies can receive up to 80 percent of the cost of a vehicle that will be used for client transportation and up to 50 percent reimbursement for vehicle operating expenses. Nonprofit agencies, Native American Nations, Districts and Tribes are eligible applicants.

Social Services Block Grant Planning
Each year the PAG region allocates Social Services Block Grant (SSBG) funds. Approximately $1.2 million to $1.6 million is made available annually for locally planned human services. A regional Social Services Planning Committee works closely with the following working groups to identify needs and make recommendations to the PAG Regional Council on annual allocations: Children, Youth and Families; Developmental Disabilities; Aging and Adults; Employment and Rehabilitation Services; and Quality of Life services. These recommendations include services for homeless adults and children, employment or guidance counseling, home care programs, and services for developmentally delayed children and disabled adults.

2019 PAG Public Transit Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan
Pima Association of Governments prepares and adopts a Public Transit-Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan to guide transportation coordination in the region for older adults and persons with disabilities. The 2019 PAG Public Transit Human Services Coordinated Transportation Plan was adopted by Regional Council in January 2020. Human service agencies are actively involved in identifying regional human service transportation needs and developing strategies to meet these needs through quarterly coordination meetings.

Special Needs Transportation Services
Human service agencies coordinate with public transit to meet special transportation needs for their clients.There are three paratransit services in the PAG region. Each of these services requires advance reservations and provides door-to-door service between the rider's location and his/her destination. The ADA Eligibility Office of the City of Tucson determines eligibility for all the publicly funded transit in the region.
Sun Tran and Sun Shuttle are transit systems for the general public that are accessible to disabled persons and the elderly. No advance reservations are required. However, these operate on fixed routes and schedules, and do not offer door-to-door service.
In addition, there are several commercial providers of paratransit services, some of whom operate wheelchair lift-equipped vehicles. The private pay rate for such paratransit service is substantially higher than for the publicly subsidized transportation described above. A number of Human Services agencies also operate lift-equipped vehicles, but these usually are restricted to serving clients of their programs.
Pima Find-a-Ride
Pima Find-a-Ride is a directory of transportation options for the general public, people with disabilities and older adults who want access to reliable transportation in the greater Tucson region beyond their private vehicle. Pima Find-a-Ride will help you find transportation options for getting to work, running errands, going to medical appointments or just getting around.

I am playing around with the patchset "my" student generated during this years GSoC (the code for all projects is available from Google). In short, it gives you the possibility to query from userland, which optional kernel features are available. I have let him mostly do those features, which are not so easy to detect from userland, or where the detection could trigger an autoload of a kernel module.
I let the output speak for himself, first the output before his patchset:
kern.features.compat_freebsd7: 1
kern.features.compat_freebsd6: 1
kern.features.posix_shm: 1
And now with his patchset:
kern.features.compat_freebsd6: 1
kern.features.compat_freebsd7: 1
kern.features.ffs_snapshot: 1
kern.features.geom_label: 1
kern.features.geom_mirror: 1
kern.features.geom_part_bsd: 1
kern.features.geom_part_ebr: 1
kern.features.geom_part_ebr_compat: 1
kern.features.geom_part_mbr: 1
kern.features.geom_vol: 1
kern.features.invariant_support: 1
kern.features.kdtrace_hooks: 1
kern.features.kposix_priority_scheduling: 1
kern.features.ktrace: 1
kern.features.nfsclient: 1
kern.features.nfsserver: 1
kern.features.posix_shm: 1
kern.features.pps_sync: 1
kern.features.quota: 1
kern.features.scbus: 1
kern.features.softupdates: 1
kern.features.stack: 1
kern.features.sysv_msg: 1
kern.features.sysv_sem: 1
kern.features.sysv_shm: 1
kern.features.ufs_acl: 1
With his patches we have a total of 84 kernel features which can be queried (obviously I do not have all optional options enabled in the kernel which produces this output). All of the features also have a description, and it is easy to add more features. As an example I present what is necessary to produce the kern.features.stack output:
./kern/subr_stack.c:FEATURE(stack, "Support for capturing kernel stack");
There is also a little userland application (and a library interface) which allows to query several features from scripts/applications with the possibility to pretend a feature is not there (the requirement for this was for ports; pretending a feature is there if it is not was ruled out because such run-time detection is only necessary for things which have to run soon and pretending some feature is there while it is not will cause big problems). Unfortunately the man page for the application is not yet ready, but I'm sure you can figure out how to use it.
The names of the features and the description follows an easy scheme, what is written down in NOTES is used as a name and a description for the feature (an exception is geom_part_X, there we decided to use a common theme ("GEOM partitioning class for XXX") which is distinct from the corresponding geom_X class). If you have complains about what is used in a specific feature, do not complain to him: change it in NOTES and the feature will follow.
If you have questions, suggestions, or some other interest to contact him, his FreeBSD address is kibab@. Feel free to encourage him to go ahead with the next steps (finishing the man page, splitting up the patches into sensible pieces and presenting them on appropriate mailinglists for review). 🙂

Homes across Scotland could be unwittingly holding more than £5 million worth of LEGO – with the iconic toy seeing an average year-on-year increase of 12 per cent value since the millennium.
According to new data from leading tech trade-in company, Zapper, LEGO is proving to be among the hottest gadget and toy investments.
In 2017 tens of thousands in LEGO has already been traded with Zapper alone. However, the statistics suggest that's a dip in the ocean, with a potential £5m fortune – based on average LEGO trade-in prices – sat in attics, disused toy boxes and cupboards across Scotland. That equates to an average 'LEGO wealth' per square kilometre in Scotland totalling an impressive £261.
According to Zapper's data, some LEGO figurines and sets are selling for eye-watering amounts, in some cases more expensive than Swiss watches, or even second-hand cars. However, despite these staggeringly lucrative items, loose LEGO still holds value and can be a great money maker for enthusiasts.
It listed the most valuable sets as Star Wars: Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon – selling for £3,113.02; Café Corner – selling for £2,499.96 and Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle 5378 – selling for £1,617.46.
Patrick Neill, CEO of Zapper, said: "There's more than 48 million pieces of LEGO in the UK, which means the potential for re-sale is huge. If the whole of the UK were to cash in on their collections, it would mean seriously big money. Of course, that's not going to happen, but what our data does reveal is that there's huge potential for those with LEGO collecting dust to make some fast money.
"It's clear from our data that the general public just aren't aware of how much money they could have sat doing nothing in their home. One thing's for sure, if you have a good stash of LEGO, you could be quid's in."
LEGO's most valuable sets
1. Star Wars: Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon selling for £3,113.02 (RP £342.49).
2. Café Corner selling for £2,499.96 (RP £89.99)
3. Harry Potter: Hogwarts Castle selling for £1,617.46 (RP £69.99)
4. Harry Potter: The Knight Bus selling for £221.03 (RP £29.99)
5. Star Wars: Death Star 10143 selling for £3,189.99 (RP £249.99)
6. Green Grocer 10185 selling for £1,629.95 (RP £99.99)

An Indian Air Force pilot dressed in a flight suit and sunglasses struts up to an F/A-18 flight simulator and a Boeing salesman engages.
"Your call sign must be Maverick," says the Boeing agent, referencing "Top Gun," an '80s film probably older than this Indian jet jockey. "You look like Tom Cruise."
After a curt "no," the Indian pilot asks to test out the machine. He lauds the F/A-18's maneuverability and touch-screen cockpit display. It's a far cry from what he currently flies: A Soviet MiG-21 that was outdated even in Maverick's day. India is looking to buy 126 new fighter jets and Boeing is dogfighting against five international firms to land the deal this year.
IN PICTURES: World's Top 10 Military Spenders
Despite some of the sales tactics on display at the recent Aero India 2011 show in Bangalore, there's more to selling fighter jets than moving Chevys. Giving "test-drives" and offering value for money is important, but so are international politics. And on that score, US firms have hurdles that European competitors do not.
Much is at stake for the American economy, including a $10 billion-plus sale and an estimated 35,000 new US jobs. Trips by presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush to India have increased US chances of bringing home that bacon. But America's not-so-humble foreign policies over the years may prove costly in an era of strong European competition in the defense industry.
"The quality of European airplanes today – for that matter the Russians, too – has now reached a point where countries like India really do have choices," says Ashley Tellis, author of a study on the jet fighter tender for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. "In that sense, [US] political choices are more constrained than they were before."
Think you know Asia? Take our geography quiz.
India's 'trust deficit' toward America
Retired Indian generals and industry analysts say Indian officials have two reservations about buying American.
First, New Delhi worries about relying on US parts given the sanctions Washington imposed in 1998 when India went nuclear. In case of a war with archrival Pakistan – a US strategic ally – would Washington curtail military trade again?
Second, US law requires defense agreements to be signed by any country purchasing certain high-tech military equipment. The US failed during Obama's visit last year to get Indian sign-off on two such agreements: the Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA), and the Communication Interoperability and Security Memorandum of Agreement (CISMoA).
According to Mr. Tellis, the CISMoA would keep India from transferring sensitive US encryption technology to another country. The BECA, meanwhile, has been misunderstood as a deal that would plot Indian military units on a global grid visible to the US and its partners.
"The fact of the matter is that this is not true," says Tellis, who has served on the US National Security Council.
He and other analysts doubt the defense agreements will be central to Delhi's decision on the fighters. But the suspicion about the agreements speaks to the lingering distrust of the US.
An Indian defense industry consultant who works with international firms and the Indian military says the Indians will only buy American for systems where there is no good competitor. The trust deficit, he says, comes not just from the 1998 sanctions, but US treatment of other friends.

Do European firms have less baggage?
It's a point other nations bring up.
Ravit Rudoy, marketing communications manager for Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., argues the US will be careful to ensure a military balance between India and Pakistan, while that concern is not shared by the one Russian and three European firms also vying for the fighter jet deal.
Tellis sees Europeans as more willing to provide equipment with no questions asked because their firms need foreign sales more to stay afloat. "The European market is so small, so they cannot afford to make their commercial products playthings of geopolitics."
Representatives of Boeing and Lockheed Martin say international politics are not a hurdle for US firms here. Rick McCrary, Boeing's lead on the jet fighter bid, points to the "ongoing, improving relationship" between Washington and New Delhi that has now spanned three administrations, both Republican and Democratic.
Obama builds goodwill toward US firms
Much has changed since 1998, including the signing of a nuclear deal under Mr. Bush and the lifting of export restrictions on Mr. Obama's recent visit, he adds.
Ramesh Phadke, a retired Indian Air Force officer, agrees that Indian suspicions about the US have diminished in recent years, signaled by some purchases of equipment.
"America maintaining a special relationship with Pakistan has always been a major factor in all decisions India has made with Americans, but it's also been accepted up to a point," says Air Commodore Phadke. "That does not mean that India likes it."
Privately, one US executive who is not authorized to speak argues the defense agreements are a "barrier" for the American bids.
"The playing field isn't level" with the Europeans, says the executive. "We're perceived by the Indians as being heavy handed. If you actually read the language of the agreements they are not as intrusive as the Indians are making them out to be…. [But] they want a relationship on an equal footing."
Obama has played to that desire by endorsing India's bid for a permanent UN Security Council seat. And Tellis says the administration will continue to be accommodating if a US firm is a chosen as a finalist.
"I think the Obama administration will really do its utmost to make sure that whatever concerns India has both on a political and technical level are assuaged, because the US at this point for economic reasons really wants to see this deal."

With the prospect of separation from its parent company, as mandated by the German government, DEPFA needed to build its own IT operating platform from scratch, covering all infrastructure aspects, data centre, telephony, networks and application support and development functions to support banking applications for trading and payments.
The Portuguese Tax Authority deployed FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS CS8000 to consolidate its backup environment, improve performance and lower costs.
TAP was reliant on an aging virtual tape library to handle its vital daily backup protocols, however, as the volume of data grew, the system began to struggle. With data protection, compliance and disaster recovery in mind, the company needed to find a more robust and scalable solution.
