China to be third largest nuclear power
China's rapid rollout of nuclear power may have slowed since the Fukushima crisis in Japan, but there is enough reactor construction in the pipeline to make it the world's third-largest nuclear-powered nation in the next three years.
TONY JONES, PRESENTER: China's seemingly insatiable appetite for energy and its coal pollution problem are fuelling a drive towards cleaner forms of power.
Rapid investment in renewables like wind and solar energy could see China emerge as the world's green energy superpower.
But China's rulers are also banking heavily on nuclear power, enough to make the Middle Kingdom the world's third largest nuclear-powered country over the next three years.
China correspondent Stephen McDonell reports.
STEPHEN MCDONELL, REPORTER: To run a powerhouse economy you need power and lots of it, leaving Asia's economic giant with an almost unquenchable thirst for electricity. At the moment coal-fired generators still account for more than 70 per cent of China power supply. But this is seen as a highly polluting alternative and either way its output is still not enough.
XU YUMING, CHINA NUCLEAR ENERGY ASSOCIATION (voiceover translation): China has surpassed the United States to become the largest energy consumer in the world. In fact, China is the biggest country both in terms of energy production and energy consumption. Yet still our economy continues to grow so our country still has a shortage of power.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: Wind, solar and hydro power have all been expanding on a major scale. But this country is also turning to another source. China currently operates 15 nuclear reactors at three separate locations. But there are another 26 under construction, meaning that within just five years, it will be getting electricity from 41 nuclear reactors.
XU YUMING (voiceover translation): If we don't develop nuclear power, firstly, it'll be hard to meet our electricity demands for future development. Secondly, though we could get what we need from coal, it would cause serious environmental problems.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: Professor Xu Yuming is deputy secretary of China's Nuclear Energy Association. He used to design nuclear reactors. He and his association see their industry as part of the solution to global climate change.
XU YUMING (voiceover translation): Emission rates of carbon dioxide by burning coal are the highest among all fuels and this greatly affects climate. If we develop nuclear power, we can cut down the usage of coal.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: But this argument was holding much greater sway here before a devastating tsunami crashed into Japan's Fukushima plant, producing a nuclear radiation crisis. China responded to its neighbour's emergency by freezing all new reactor approvals. And still many Chinese people remain worried. They look at an advanced country like Japan and think if a major nuclear accident can happen there, why not in China? They also question their country's handling of nuclear waste.
The Daya Bay reactor complex near Hong Kong was built by the French. When we visit, the message is all about safety. In fact officials here are so worried about their safety image that this is virtually all we hear about.
The Chinese Government says none of its reactors have been built in major earthquake zones and that all facilities have been rechecked for safety. China's nuclear industry is hoping that Japan's crisis has only produced a temporary slowing of their trajectory. Yet concerns abound.
The tsunami in Japan represented a considerable setback for the nuclear industry here with, for a while, all new projects being put on hold. But there's no doubting China has big nuclear ambitions. The electricity needs of this country are enormous and so coal, wind, solar and nuclear power are all being rolled out at a huge rate.
However, the nuclear industry knows it has work to do.
XU YUMING (voiceover translation): The greatest challenge is to rebuild public confidence in nuclear power. It's the most important task. But we also need to make the nuclear power a safer, more reliable technology.
STEPHEN MCDONELL: Despite the recent slowdown, with only its already approved new reactors coming online, China is set to become the world's third-largest nuclear powered country over the next five years, following the United States and France. This country's people are hoping that the safety assurances they've been getting can be relied on.

Common Touch.ocx Error Messages
Most touch.ocx errors are related to missing or corrupt touch.ocx files. The nine most common touch.ocx errors that can appear on a Windows-based computer are:
- "Component 'Touch.ocx' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid."
- "Touch.ocx failed to register. The specified module could not be found."
- "Touch.ocx not found."
- "Cannot find Touch.ocx."
- "The file touch.ocx is missing."
- "Runtime Error 339: touch.ocx not correctly registered."
- "Missing or broken reference to the file touch.ocx."
- "The Module 'touch.ocx' Failed to load. Make sure the binary is stored at the specified path or debug it to check for problems with the binary or dependent .DLL files. The specified module could not be found."
- "One or more ActiveX controls could not be displayed because either: 1) Your current security settings prohibit running ActiveX controls on this page, or 2) You have blocked a publisher of one of the controls. As a result, the page may not display correctly."
- "This program requires touch.ocx, which is no longer included."
These OCX error messages can appear during program installation, while a touch.ocx-related software program (eg. Vijeo Designer) is running, during Windows startup or shutdown, or even during the installation of the Windows operating system. Keeping track of when and where your touch.ocx error occurs is a critical piece of information in troubleshooting the problem.

Causes of Touch.ocx Errors
Touch.ocx problems can be attributed to corrupt or missing files, invalid registry entries associated with Touch.ocx, or a virus / malware infection.
Because touch.ocx is an external file, it presents a big opportunity for errors or malicious file manipulation to occur. Improperly shutting down your PC or getting a virus infection could corrupt the touch.ocx, which could create lead to ActiveX errors. When touch.ocx becomes corrupt, it cannot be loaded properly by your application, and will result in an error message.
Other times, touch.ocx file errors could be related to issues in the Windows registry. Broken DLL file references can prevent your OCX file from registering properly, giving you a touch.ocx error. These broken registry keys can be as a result of a missing DLL file, moved DLL file, or an leftover DLL file reference in your Windows registry from an unsuccessful software installation or uninstallation.
More specifically, these touch.ocx errors can be caused by:
- Invalid or corrupt touch.ocx-related registry entry.
- Virus or malware infection which has corrupted the touch.ocx file.
- Schneider Electric hardware failure, such as a bad hard drive, which has corrupted the touch.ocx file.
- Another program overwrote the required version of touch.ocx.
- Another program maliciously or mistakenly deleted the touch.ocx file.
- Another program uninstalled the touch.ocx file.

How To Fix Touch.ocx Errors
Caution: We do not recommend downloading touch.ocx from "OCX download" sites. These sites distribute OCX files that are unapproved by the official touch.ocx file developer, and can often be bundled with virus-infected or other malicious files. If you require a copy of touch.ocx, it is recommended that you obtain it directly from Schneider Electric.
Below is a list of troubleshooting steps to resolve your touch.ocx problems. These troubleshooting steps get progressively more difficult and time consuming, so we strongly recommend attempting them in ascending order to avoid unnecessary time and effort.
Please Note: Click the [ ] image to expand the troubleshooting instructions for each step below. You can also click the [ ] image to hide the instructions as you proceed through each step.
Step 1: Manually Register Touch.ocx Using Microsoft Register Server
When you install software that uses the touch.ocx dependency, the software should automatically register the file for you. In some cases your OCX file may not register properly, and as a result, will provide a "touch.ocx not registered" error. Fortunately, you can use a built-in utility called "Microsoft Register Server" (regsvr32.exe) to re-register your touch.ocx file.
How to re-register touch.ocx from an elevated command prompt (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
Step 2: Repair Invalid Touch.ocx Registry Entries
Sometimes touch.ocx and other OCX system errors can be related to problems in the Windows registry. Several programs can share the same touch.ocx file, but when these programs are uninstalled or changed, sometimes "orphaned" (invalid) OCX registry entries are left behind.
Basically, what this means is that while the actual file path may have changed, its incorrect former location is still recorded in the Windows registry. When Windows tries looking up these incorrect file references (file locations on your PC), touch.ocx errors can occur. In addition, malware infection may have corrupted the registry entries associated with Vijeo Designer. Thus, these invalid OCX registry entries need to be repaired to fix the root of the problem.
Manually editing the Windows registry to remove invalid touch.ocx keys is not recommended unless you are PC service professional. Incorrectly editing your registry can stop your PC from functioning and create irreversible damage to your operating system. In fact, one misplaced comma can prevent your PC from booting entirely!
Because of this risk, we recommend using a registry cleaner to assist with this process. Using a registry cleaner automates the process of finding invalid registry entries, missing file references (like the one causing your touch.ocx error), and broken links within the registry. A backup is automatically created before each scan, with the ability to undo any changes in a single click, protecting you against the possibility of PC damage.
As a Microsoft Silver Partner, we provide software that can assist you in removing these issues:
Caution: Unless you an advanced PC user, we DO NOT recommend editing the Windows registry manually. Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall Windows. We do not guarantee that problems resulting from the incorrect use of Registry Editor can be solved. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
To manually repair your Windows registry, first you need to create a backup by exporting a portion of the registry related to touch.ocx (eg. Vijeo Designer):
The next steps in manually editing your registry will not be discussed in this article due to the high risk of damaging your system. If you would like to learn more about manual registry editing, please see the links below.
We do not claim any responsibility for the results of the actions taken from the content linked below - complete these tasks at your own risk.
Windows XP
Windows 7
Windows Vista
Step 3: Conduct a Full Malware Scan of Your PC
There is a chance that your touch.ocx error could be related to a malware infection on your PC. These malicious intruders can damage, corrupt, or even delete OCX-related files. Furthermore, there's a possibility that the touch.ocx error you are experiencing is related to a component of the malicious program itself.
Tip: If you do not already have a malware protection program installed, we highly recommend using Emsisoft Anti-Malware (download here). They offer a malware removal guarantee that is not offered by other security software.
Step 4: Run Windows System File Checker ("sfc /scannow")
System File Checker is a handy tool included with Windows that allows you scan for and restore corruptions in Windows system files (including those related to touch.ocx). If System File Checker finds a problem with your OCX or other critical system file, it will attempt to replace the problematic files automatically.
To run System File Checker (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
Step 5: Uninstall and Reinstall the Vijeo Designer Program Associated with Touch.ocx
If your touch.ocx error is related to a specific program, reinstalling Vijeo Designer-related software could be the answer.
Instructions for Windows 7 and Windows Vista:
Instructions for Windows XP:
Instructions for Windows 8:
After you have successfully uninstalled your touch.ocx-associated program (eg. Vijeo Designer), reinstall the program according to the Schneider Electric instructions.
Tip: If you are positive that your OCX error is related to a specific Schneider Electric program, uninstalling and reinstalling your touch.ocx-related program will likely be the solution to your problem.
Step 6: Utilize Windows System Restore to "Undo" Recent System Changes
Windows System Restore allows you to "go back in time" with your PC to help fix your touch.ocx problems. System Restore can return your PC's system files and programs back to a time when everything was working fine. This can potentially help you avoid hours of troubleshooting headaches associated with OCX errors.
Please Note: Using System Restore will not affect your documents, pictures, or other data.
To use System Restore (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
Step 7: Install All Available Windows Updates
Microsoft is constantly updating and improving Windows system files that could be associated with touch.ocx. Sometimes resolving your OCX problems may be as simple as updating Windows with the latest Service Pack or other patch that Microsoft releases on an ongoing basis.
To check for Windows Updates (Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10):
Step 8: Perform a Clean Installation of Windows
Caution: We must emphasize that reinstalling Windows will be a very time-consuming and advanced task to resolve touch.ocx problems. To avoid data loss, you must be sure that you have backed-up all of your important documents, pictures, software installers, and other personal data before beginning the process. If you are not currently backing up your data, you need to do so immediately (download a highly-recommended backup solution [MyPCBackup.com Download]) to protect yourself from permanent data loss.
This step is your final option in trying to resolve your touch.ocx issue. Reinstalling Windows will erase everything from your hard drive, allowing you to start again with a fresh system. Furthermore, a clean install of Windows will also quickly clean out any and all "junk" that has accumulated over the normal usage of your computer.
Please Note: If touch.ocx errors still persist after a clean install of Windows, your OCX problem MUST be hardware related. If that is the case, then it is likely you will need to replace the associated hardware causing the touch.ocx error.

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — May 29, 2013 — Carestream Health has dramatically reduced air emissions and energy consumption as part of an ongoing proactive effort to trim its environmental footprint.
"We continuously examine our manufacturing processes and product components to identify areas where we can help protect the environment," said Cavan Kelsey, Carestream's Worldwide Director of Environmental Health and Safety. "Environmental priorities are integrated into both the design and manufacture of our products."
To curb air emissions, Carestream invested in technology that reduces volatile organic compounds that can contribute to ground level smog and air pollutants. Carestream's Rochester manufacturing plant reduced emissions by more than 80 percent by installing an air emission control device that heats and destroys pollutants.
The company has achieved an impressive 50 percent reduction in energy use over the last four years by replacing selected heating and cooling systems with high-efficiency units, creating programs to turn off equipment when it's not needed and replacing inefficient lighting. Its plant in Windsor, Colo., saw some of the greatest energy improvements and in 2012 this site was recognized under the Colorado Industrial Energy Challenge by Governor John Hickenlooper for this achievement.
Carestream also works to control hazardous waste from product manufacturing and maintenance activities. Its Colorado and Oregon manufacturing plants capture solvents that can be reused or that can be recovered and sold for other uses. The Oregon facility has, for example, eliminated the need to purchase 240,000 gallons of solvents a year due to better recovery/reuse practices.
The company further reduces the output of hazardous waste by trimming the use of silver, plastics and other components in its manufacturing processes. Examples include:
- X-ray film – Through capturing and re-using key components Carestream reduced raw material consumption by 1.2 million pounds per year.
- Phosphor screens used in digital imaging systems – Reuse of components avoids 8,000 tons per year of waste that formerly went to landfills.
- Dental film packet - The amount of lead needed to control X-ray scatter has been cut by 20 percent and solvents have been eliminated from the manufacture of the vinyl packet covering.
Carestream also has achieved ISO 14001, an international standard for assessing environmental management systems.

They're incredibly easy to whip up. Well, let me qualify that; you're going to need a pot to steam the milk, sugar and pumpkin in, some coffee (I use my french press for brewing), and another mixing bowl for whipping heavy cream and powdered sugar in. That said, they're easy enough to concoct, and use ingredients you're likely to already have on hand.
I used The Kitchn's recipe as the basis, and then tinkered with things, namely the amounts and type of spices used. You can use either fresh pumpkin puree or canned. The sky is the limit.
Welcome to what will undoubtedly become your new favorite thing. You're welcome.

Green Hill Games' Gun Commando is a far smaller scale release for Ripstone to back, and you'll need to drop into the PlayStation Mobile section of the PSN to pick it up. It's worth the trip though, because this is an old-school FPS with a real sense of style about it.
Anyone who has played Wolfenstein 3D or the early Doom games will know immediately what to get with Gun Commando. Awkwardly-animated enemies, small enclosed corridors which all look similar enough that it's easy to get lost, garish colours that scroll by jerkily; the authenticity that Gun Commando shoots for is admirable, even if it's a style of game that has long been antiquated. Far from being frustrating though Gun Commando's levels are brief and the action itself is smooth enough that its presentation is merely kitsch.
This deliberately retro action is broken up by cut scenes that are expertly drawn and straight from modern comic book art. So it's not that Gun Commando's retro aesthetic is a mere consequence of the developer's lack of skill for the craft - as too-many retro throwbacks are - but rather it's a deliberate design choice. Coupled with the imaginative level design and some moments of real difficulty and it's hard not to get drawn into the game.
Gun Commando is a brave game. This is a genre which, unlike 2D platformers, has not aged well at all and as much as we all respect what Wolfenstein 3D achieved, it's not a game we necessarily want to spend hours playing through again. Ripstone and Green Hill Games have shown us that even today we can have fun with this dated design.

Silverstone Strider Gold S Series ST85F-GS
New Compact Power Supplies From Silverstone
Published: 21st December 2013 | Source: OC3D |
Since being founded in 2003, Silverstone have brought us many high quality products, including revolutionary fan designs, high quality and sometimes niche cases, along with well built and affordable power supplies.
Over the past few years, Silverstone have brought us a fair few mATX, and mITX cases, such as their Sugo range along with ranges aimed at the HTPC market. It's actually amazing to see just how many of these Silverstone have released, along with the amount of design work that's gone into every one of them.
In order to support these, Silverstone have also been prompt in releasing compact power supplies, along with shorter cable kits, as they clearly understand the horrors of having to route ATX length cables around an ITX system.
TTL takes a look at one of the new entries into the Strider Gold S series; the ST85F-GS, complete with the matching PP05-E short cable kit, making this ideal for use in compact systems.

ITX motherboards are very common these days, and we are now seeing more and more high powered mATX and mITX systems. With the release of the R9 290X and the GTX780Ti, along with high performing motherboards such as the Asus Maximus VI Impact, there's no longer a need to have a full ATX system with an SLI or Crossfire graphics solution in order to get a great performing system. We think this new range of power supplies is the perfect way to support this.
The S series are gold rated units, and are available from 550w to 850w, whilst maintaining the minimalistic, sleek look on the outside, as well as being only 150mm long. In certain cases such as the Bitfenix Prodigy, larger power supplies simply won't fit in most circumstances, and if they do, you're often left with next to no room to work with the cables and so cabling becomes a nightmare. With the ST85F-GS, this is no longer an issue as the modular flat cables make things easy to work with, and the short design of the power supply means you have even more room to work with. The the 850w output is able to power any single GPU on the market, from the Titan, to the previous generation dual GPU cards such as the GTX690, or the AMD 7990, and so regardless of what you want to put into a compact system, the ST85F-GS will have you covered.
Along with being shorter and more compact than most power supplies, the ST85F-GS (like most Silverstone power supplies) is fully modular. This is especially beneficial in the more compact systems since unnecessary cables won't get in the way, however, if you want to use this for a full ATX system, then the modular cable system will again aid in cable management, as well as aesthetics. The modular cables also allow for the standard cables to be replaced with the PP05-E short cable kit from Silverstone. These cables are only around 30-35cm long making them ideal for use with a small system. In a case such as the Bitfenix Prodigy M, where the power supply sits in the front of the case, there's a very short distance between the end of the power supply, and the GPU and motherboard power connectors. This means longer cables obstruct airflow onto the graphics cards, and as well as increasing temperatures, this will be detrimental to aesthetics. With the short cable kit however, excess cabling will be minimised and airflow won't be blocked. This will make things look a lot tidier inside.
The power supply itself comes with 2x8pin CPU, 1x24pin Motherboard, 4x8/6pin PCIE, along with 8 SATA and 6 Molex connectors, meaning you'll have plenty of connectors to support even the most powerful of systems. These cables are all flat design, so they won't interfere with airflow, and they'll also be far more flexible than standard cables.
Overall, these units are incredibly well built, and like all Silverstone products, they keep a sleek design. If you're looking to power a high end compact system, then the Gold S Series with the PP05-E short cable kit should definitely be under consideration.
Thanks to Silverstone for providing the PSU and the cables. You can discuss your thoughts on the OC3D forums.

Chipworks and iFixit teamed up to take a look beneath the Kin Two's black and lime exterior, finding some things that were expected, like the NVIDIA Tegra APX2600 processor, and some, like a Sony image sensor, that were, well, not.
The full teardowns include a few interesting bits—that 8MP Sony image sensor, for example, only takes up an impossibly small 1.4 microns. Parts from Samsung, Qualcomm, Hynix, and Texas Instruments also make appearances.

The Astra's 1.5-litre, three-cylinder diesel engines offer 105PS and 122PS and as an alternative to the standard six-speed manual gearbox, the most powerful diesel is available with the option of a smooth-shifting new nine-speed automatic transmission, which is makes its debut in the new Astra.
The new Astra is available with a new digital front camera, which is both smaller and more powerful than before thanks to a faster processor. It now not only recognises vehicles, but also pedestrians, greatly improving safety. Furthermore, thanks to the high-resolution camera, traffic sign recognition can now process even more traffic signs and show them as symbols on the display.
The new Vauxhall Astra will make its debut at the IAA Frankfurt International Motor Show next month but is available to order now, with first cars arriving in showrooms in November.

The NFL's conference championship weekend is set with another bout between Peyton Manning and Tom Brady in the AFC and the top two teams in the NFC, Arizona and Carolina, going toe-to-toe for the NFC championship. While there will be plenty of attention given to yet another meeting between Manning and Brady, the NFC Championship Game is making some history with a college football twist. With Cam Newton of the Panthers and Carson Palmer of the Cardinals set to start in the NFC Championship Game, we will see the first NFL postseason meeting between two Heisman Trophy-winning quarterbacks.
At first glance, that comes across as a surprising factoid to consume, but it should not come across as a major shock. Given the track record of Heisman Trophy winner sin the NFL, we already know the Heisman Trophy is far from a guarantee for sustained NFL success. This is especially true for quarterbacks, although the jury is still out on a number of the more recent Heisman-winning QBs (Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota offer some good promise, and who knows if there is still time to save Robert Griffin III, for example). Also keep in mind that for the majority of the history of the Heisman Trophy, running backs were the dominant position before the turn of the 21st century gave way to quarterbacks taking control of the award more often than not.
Take a look through Heisman history and look at the quarterbacks who have won the stiff-arm trophy over the years. Just two quarterbacks won the award in the 1960s, Navy's Roger Staubach and Notre Dame's John Huarte. Staubach went on to have a stellar career. Huarte? Not so much. Two quarterbacks won the Heisman in the 1970s, and once again the careers of Jim Plunkett of Stanford and Pat Sullivan of Auburn took drastically different paths. Of the three quarterbacks to win the Heisman Trophy in the 1980s (Doug Flutie, Andre Ware, Vinny Testaverde), only Miami's Testaverde proved to have a sustained NFL career, which included a couple of solid runs here and there, but he almost never faced another Heisman-winning QB during his lengthy career.
The 1990s saw four quarterbacks win the Heisman Trophy. Ty Detmer was essentially a career backup. Gino Torretta's run in the NFL was brief. Danny Wuerffel did not fare too much better. And Charlie Ward went on to play in the NBA instead of the NFL. Ward may have been the best NFL QB out of that bunch had he focused on the NFL instead.
Even the quarterbacks to win the Heisman Trophy since 2000 have been farther from competing for an NFL conference championship more often than not. This weekend, 2002 Heisman Trophy winner Carson Palmer just won his first postseason game as a starting quarterback since blowing out Iowa in the 2003 Orange Bowl. 2000 Heisman Trophy winner Chris Weinke has an NFC Championship ring, but that came as a backup. 2001 winner Eric Crouch played four years in the NFL with three teams and ended his playing career in the short-lived UFL with the Omaha Nighthawks. 2003 winner Jason White was not even drafted and stepped away due to bad knees. 2004 winner Matt Leinart never lived up to his perceived potential in Arizona and moved on to Houston, Oakland and Buffalo before getting into TV. 2006 winner Troy Smith was a career back-up, for the most part, behind Steve McNair and Joe Flacco in Baltimore. Sam Bradford has been plagued by injuries and Robert Griffin III is looking to rejuvenate his career in a new situation in 2016. And I'm even going to spare you the talk about Tim Tebow and Johnny Manziel.
One more piece of information to keep in mind was the AFC and NFC Championship Game structure was not utilized until 1970 when the NFL merged with the AFL. For an award that was first handed out in 1935, that cuts out a number of quarterbacks from even having the possibility to play in an NFL conference championship game (Davey O'Brien, Angelo Bertelli, Lee Horvath, Johnny Lujack, Paul Hornung, Terry Baker).
So yes, it is surprising we have not seen a matchup of Heisman Trophy winning quarterbacks in an NFL postseason game before, but it is not at all shocking given the history of the Heisman Trophy. And no, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady never won the Heisman Trophy either.

WASHINGTON - The Justice Department has filed criminal charges against the leader of the Taliban in Pakistan, accusing him of involvement in the deaths of seven CIA employees in Afghanistan in December.
Hakimullah Mehsud was charged Wednesday with conspiracy to murder U.S. citizens abroad and conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely explosives, against U.S. citizens abroad.
Court documents accuse the Pakistani Taliban with playing a role in or claiming responsibility for the December 2007 assassination of Benazir Bhutto, the September 2009 suicide attack on the Bannu, Pakistan, police station and numerous attacks on NATO supply lines.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Also on Wednesday, the State Department designated the Pakistani Taliban as a foreign terrorist organization and designated Hakimullah Mehsud and another Taliban leader, Wali Ur Rehman, as specially designated global terrorists.
The State Department's Rewards for Justice program is offering a reward of up to $5 million each for information leading to their location.
The attack on the U.S. base at Khost, Afghanistan, in Dec. 30 was carried out by a suicide bomber identified as a Jordanian doctor, Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi. He was described as a double agent who had been considered a key asset by the CIA.

BERLIN — The long-awaited effort to bring cheaper, cleaner natural gas to Worcester now appears to be closer than ever as a major distributor continues to chug its pipeline closer to the county line.
Chesapeake Utilities officials last week announced it was continuing to extend its natural gas pipeline along Route 113 through Delaware and should be prepared to cross over into Worcester County later this summer. Chesapeake Utilities Senior Vice President Stephen Thompson said this week the installation of the pipeline continued to move a brisk pace and had reached Millsboro with a projected date to reach Worcester County set for Aug. 1.
"Our interstate extension originates in southeastern Pennsylvania and extends through Delaware along the Route 113 corridor," Thompson said this week. "That is the main backbone that will ultimately serve Worcester County. Last year, we stopped at around Millsboro while we waited for the permit process to catch up and now we're heading for the Worcester County line as planned."
With an August arrival date planned, natural gas service could soon be available for many county residents seeking a cheaper, cleaner alternative to propane gas, which is widely used throughout Worcester.
"We hope to be there by this summer," he said "Aug. 1 is the projected date if everything goes according to plan. We plan to enter the county along Route 113 and jump across to an area along Friendship Rd. just north of Route 50 and across from Stephen Decatur High School."
Once the major pipeline reaches Worcester, gas distribution companies, such as Eastern Shore Gas, for example, which has said in the recent past it is interested in connecting residential and commercial properties to natural gas, will likely pick up the ball in terms of distribution.
"From there, it will be up to Chesapeake Utilities or Eastern Shore Gas to connect to the main transmission line and begin connecting residential areas and commercial properties to natural gas," he said.
For County Commissioner Judy Boggs, who represents Ocean Pines, the announcement the natural gas pipeline could reach Worcester by August came after years of effort in attracting the utility alternative.
"It really came to a head last year," she said. "For eight years, I had been trying to get natural gas companies to consider coming to Worcester but there was never much interest because it was always deemed too expensive to do it."
Boggs said residents serviced by propane gas have dealt with ever-increasing winter heating bills and the pending arrival of natural gas represented a welcome alternative.
"Last year, with the brutal winter, there were people in communities like Ocean Pines and Glen Riddle that had $1,000-per-month propane gas bills," she said. "When a lot of people moved here and were told there was gas available, many expected it was natural gas and not propane because they had come from urban or suburban areas. Propane can be so much more expensive because it's not regulated, whereas natural gas is."
The presumption in recent months has been Eastern Shore Gas would likely be a distributor because company officials have said they are interested when the pipeline reaches the county. However, it remains possible other companies could step up as well.
"In Ocean Pines, the assumption has always been the distributor will be Eastern Shore Gas because they are the propane supplier and a lot of the infrastructure is already in place," said Boggs. "There may be several companies within Worcester County that want to take on the distribution when the transmission line gets here."
Boggs cautioned the arrival of the pipeline will not immediately signal the availability of natural gas.
"It will probably be at least one more winter before natural gas is readily available in the county," she said. "I don't want to raise expectations about next winter. It will be easier to understand when it can be determined what kind of conversions homeowners are looking at."
Boggs said it was too early to begin guessing at the cost of conversion to natural gas for most homeowners.
"There will probably be a wide range of conversion costs," she said. "In some cases, it might be as simple as using a single orifice to connect a home, while in others it might be more complicated. That's for the engineers to figure out."
The conversion to natural gas would not be mandated, but judging by the interest generated in the pipeline extension, there is a clearly a demand in Worcester.
"It would have to be a voluntary thing," she said. "Those with electric will likely stay with electric and some with propane will want to stay with propane, but it's good to have options. There is a great deal of interest and a significant need for this in Worcester County."
Thompson agreed and said extending the pipeline to Worcester was a condition of the state and federal approval process.
"For the pipeline to cross the state line, we had to demonstrate to the federal government there was a need and demand in Worcester County," he said. "Clearly, there is."

Bradley Cooper, the delectable star of The Hangover 2, whose very presence can give most women a quake, also speaks French. Last week he gave an interview in what appears to be near-flawless French (in my mind, so please don't ruin it by saying it wasn't). It was hot. So, so very, very hot.
It's the little things that drive us wild, and so few men get that. Foreplay is about more than grabbing at us and falling into bed that so many men have been taught by adult porn sites like youngsexer.com. There is sometimes a little something we can't explain added to the mix, a certain je ne sais quoi. (See Bradley, I speak it, too!)
Still, some men do things without thinking that really get us going. So, to help them, here is a list of 10 other accidentally sexy things that men do that make us want them:
- Cook: It doesn't matter if you slow braise or make artisanal sauces (although that wouldn't be a bad thing), but knowing your way around the kitchen will make us crazy. The way to a woman's heart and all that …
- Can say a man is hot: It shows you're comfortable in your sexuality to be able to recognize another man's sexiness. And that, my friends, is so very sexy to us.
- Good parenting: I don't mean the guy changes diapers. That is so tired (though it's also important). I mean he genuinely cares about and seeks out opportunity for the children. When he is with them, he is with them, paying attention to their needs, playing with them, and telling mom to go shopping as he wants time alone with his little babies. One mom said her husband makes up little songs for their daughter and that always makes her want to kiss him. Also when he cuddles them: HOT!
- Dancing: A man who can dance can also move his body in other ways, too.
- Building: There is something so hot about a man who can use his hands to fix things or to create things. Never am I more attracted to my husband than when he's hot and sweaty from work and has just built or created something with his bare hands.
- Sporty: My husband was a very good athlete in high school and went on to be a Division One Decathlete. Now, he dominates every sport he tries (even bowling!). Watching him pick everything up so quickly is insanely hot.
- Play an instrument: Put a guitar in a guy's hand and instantly the geekiest string bean becomes George Clooney.
- Tip well: Kindness is a huge turn-on, but not the kind they do to show off. It has to be real, genuine kindness, the sort that just emanates from them unconsciously.
- Make us laugh: Funny guys DO get the girl. Every time.
- Working: I once heard my husband on a conference call. He sounded so authoritative and smart and it was a context in which I rarely get to see or hear him. It made me want to jump his bones immediately.

Syrco! Det var hyggelig å treffe deg! (I hope I got that right!)
I first discovered Syrco's blog ages ago when I was looking for things about the Whispering Forest. Interestingly that was also how I first came across Ironyca's blog too.
I had probably been reading Syrco for a few months and one day she said something that made me realise she was a she! And here I thought all this time Syrco was a he!
So I went to Syrco's server, but she wasn't on, and I asked one of her guildies who said she wasn't on any alts. I sent an in game mail to her, and thought I'd come back another time.
Ok good, she seems keen! And look at Dragonray as my own personal PR! I planned to do all my EU Navispams during the next server shutdown. I headed to her server and did a /who and she was online! Perfect! I sent a tell and she came to meet me and I explained to her what it was all about and she said we should go to her special place - Whispering Forest! So off to the zeppelin we went. However... one small problem...
I hadn't been there before on EU so my game was downloading data. And so I was stuck on the boat going back and forth because it wasn't loading the screens because I was lagging/downloading. Poor Syrco probably wondered what happened to me!
Eventually I emerged and we set off to Whispering Forest. When we got there, 7 Faerie dragons were up so maybe it was going to happen soon! Syrco and I sat around talking and we talked about Norway (she's Norwegian) and how pretty it is, and she mentioned in a post about improving her English. I asked her about that, wondering if she had a copy of her blog in Norwegian and she laughed and said how many readers would she have then... 5? We both laughed. I told her about my penfriend from Norway that I had when I was young, and how I used to think that Norway was full of snow and bears and everyone lived in a forest. She talked about her partner (who plays WoW) and also about her guild which is a Scandinavian guild. It was at least half an hour before the event started, but time goes fast when you're chatting.
Suddenly, the event started! We both cheered as we sat down to watch the event and listen to the music and I laughed because after it was done a rat somehow ended up on top of a mushroom! I've only seen it twice before, and it's still amazing.
It was a lovely, memorable visit and Syrco is so sweet! At least now she knows what it's like to be Navispammed :) I think she liked it (you can read her account here).

The thought of having to listen to "Sugar Sugar," even in a dance remix, is enough to send one into diabetic shock.
Sweet, though, may soon be making a sticky comeback.
The folks at Archie Comics signed with uber-agents CAA, Variety reports, suggesting movies and TV shows could be in the offing for the freckled forever teenager. The deal follows the recent publicity spurt over the comic book story arc in which Archie finally decides between Betty and Veronica.
But can the gang from Riverdale High survive in a "Gossip Girls" world?
That little has changed in Riverdale over the last 67 years is both comically absurd and oddly reassuring, particularly in less-than-stable times. Archie's comic scribes largely have been in on the joke – even in the late 1960s and 1970s, the Archie TV cartoons were self-consciously retro amid the Woodstock Generation's bloom. (Bubblegum earworm "Sugar Sugar" is what passed for "rock" for the Archies in 1969, the year Led Zeppelin released its first album.)
Reviving Archie for a mass TV or movie audience could prove trickier now. Perhaps the model – or the competition – shouldn't be "Gossip Girls," whose Blair Waldorf would eat Veronica alive.
Archie and the gang likely would feel more at home on the set of "Glee," the FOX breakout show that sets a "Revenge of the Nerds" plot to an "American Idol" soundtrack. "Glee" has the makings of a classic underdog tale, seasoned with a streak of irreverence you won't find within light years of "High School Musical."
Underdog charm and steadiness have helped every-teen Archie survive seven decades of plots centering around one man's love triangle and his best friend's love for hamburgers. Archie, though, may yet turn into a man of the times: In the September issue, he proposes to scheming rich girl Veronica over sweet, humble Betty, in the first of a six-chapter series.
That's a pretty big deal for a character who hasn't changed his sweater since 1942. Between Archie's big life decision and new, high-powered representation, the Riverdale crew could be headed to a strange, new place: Hollywood.

Summer is a great time for working with dynamic light sources. The best in fact. This is the time I like to get out and just pick a subject and watch how it reacts as the sun moves around it in the final hour of light. It will change more during this time than any other. And after the cold grey days of Winter and Spring, I can't wait to see this stuff again.
One thing I like to do a lot for more often, as with this shot, is use a telephoto lens to separate your subject even more. It really helps stand out the parts of the image you need to shine. It also allows you to blur out the background more if you don't have a lens that can open up wide enough. Or you just want to look cooler when your out shooting ;P

Green Apple Mousse
Perhaps not the most seasonal dessert (local apples become available in a month or two), but it's a light dessert that would taste lovely on a hot day. You do need a cold fridge for cooling it, however!
Make sure to choose crisp and slightly tart apples like Granny Smith.
Green Apple Mousse
(Vahustatud õunatarretis)
Serves 4
250 g apples (cored and peeled weight)
500 ml water (2 cups)
5 Tbsp caster sugar
6 gelatine leaves
0.5 tsp vanilla extract
Peel and core the apples, cut into chunks. Place in a boiling water (try adding a splash of lemon juice to keep the apples from discoloring) and simmer until apples are soft.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the apples and press through a fine mesh sieve into a large mixing bowl.
Add sugar to the hot apple "stock" and stir, until sugar has dissolved.
Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water for about 5 minutes. Squeeze slightly, then stir into the hot apple syrup, one by one. Pour the syrup into the apple pureé, season with vanilla extract.
Let it cool a little, until the mixture starts to set a little. Using a hand-held or standing mixture, whip until light and fluffy.
Divide between the dessert bowls and place into a cool place to set a little.

Very interesting dessert. I've never used gelatine leaves. Honestly, I've never even heard of them. Do they work the same as boxed gelatin?

Rolling Chassis With Tiger Rear - Mastering Your Rear - Drivetrain
Swapping Chassis Manufacturers Requires A Close Look At Your Rearend
Our new Mastersbilt chassis came to us as a bare frame. Not being a rolling chassis, we planned on reusing the Tiger rearend that was originally in Project DLM-Rayburn version. It was a stout quick change rear from the North Carolina manufacturer that specializes in those types of rearends. We ran it through a season and a half of racing without any problems, whatsoever. Now, anyone who has ever switched chassis manufacturers and tried to reuse existing components knows that it is not nearly as cut and dry as it sounds. There is a lot more to do than just drop the rear out of the Rayburn and slap it into the Mastersbilt. We had a whole slew of items to address.
For starters, as I'm sure many of you, know a 2002 Rayburn is a swing arm car, while the 2008 Mastersbilt that we have is a four bar. That fact alone means that we'll need new birdcages. In addition, the rearend measurements for the Mastersbilt are different than the Rayburn with both Mastersbilt axle tubes being 1 inch shorter. So in addition to new birdcages, we'll also need new axles, axle tubes, and side bells. By the way, we're also going to need all of the bars, rod-ends, and so on to mount the rear in the car. However, we will be able to reuse the center section and ring-and-pinion
Now, the center section and ring-and-pinion is a particular area of interest for us. Like I said, we had run this rearend for more than a year and a half at tracks from Georgia to Southern Florida. What I didn't mention was that we never once had the rear serviced. The only time we ever had it remotely apart was when we changed gears when track conditions required us to.
Our Tiger Rear End has a metal treatment applied to it called RF-85. Unlike a traditional coating like Teflon that sits on top of the metal, RF85 actually treats the metal. RF85 stands for reduced friction 85 percent, which was derived from results of frictional behavioral tests performed by Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Tiger has led the RF85 charge into racing to collect data for the domestic automotive market.
The technology is derived from cutting tools, medical devices, aerospace, and industrial applications, but the company that produces RF85 firmly believes its true potential lies within domestic car or truck applications where oil needs could be reduced significantly. Imagine running just one quart of oil in the rearend of your F150.
Road vehicle applications aside, we were interested in seeing specifically how the guts of the rear looked after all the racing we did. We figured it should look pretty good since we never had any problems, but we were pretty surprised with what we found.
Before we got to the point of looking inside the rear, we first had to line everything up for the swap. So, follow along as we give our new Mastersbilt a "new" Tiger Rear End.
Measure That Tube
Did you ever wonder exactly how to measure the tube length on your quick change rearend? Well we went to the source to find out exactly how. Gerald Williams of Tiger Rear Ends tells us that they measure all tubes from the B-Dimension which is the area on the snout where the inner hub bearing seats against. You measure from this area out to the end of the tube, including the 5 inches installed inside the bell. You measure from the outer end of the bell to the B-Dimension on the snout (remember, that's where the inner hub seats), then you add 5 inches to accommodate for the length of tube that is inside the bell. This will give you the total and proper B-Dimension Tube Length.

Tow Vehicle Maintenance - Getting There And Back
"To finish, first you have to get to the track."
For the longest time many of us have heard the quote, "If you want to finish first, first you have to finish." I think we need to add to that well-worn adage. "To finish, first you first have to get to the track." Let's face it most racers carry a good bit of stuff to the track and if you race in more than one class or your team has multiple cars, you have even more stuff to move back and forth to the races. More stuff piled into your trailer, van, car, or truck means that your selected mode of transportation will have to do more work just to get you there. Possibly, more work that it was ever designed to do in the first place.
Let's paint a picture all about getting to the track. You load the trailer and you think you're completely prepared. Your race car is ready to race and all of the tools and spares required to complete a full day of racing are on board, even the ice chest full of ice, nice cool drinks, and not to mention some sandwiches and potato salad. All of that stuff along with the 20 or so gallons of fuel can easily add up to 5,000 pounds of stuff.
So what's my point? The point is that, depending on what you're driving, you could have just added as much as 30 to 60 percent more than your vehicle's weight in payload.You just made every system on the vehicle work that much harder than when you're just driving it on a normal day. The added weight will adversely impact everything from handling to fuel mileage to safety.
So what's the answer? Just like you prepare your race car for the races you need to prepare your tow vehicle to get you to the races. Each system on the race car is tuned for maximum performance. Use the same systemic approach to your tow vehicle. Beefing up each system to take the total vehicle performance to a place where you have the handling, brakes, cooling system, and engine performance exactly where it needs to be. The goal is to be able to tow to the races without arriving worn out. Let's look at each system on your vehicle.
Let's start with the suspension. If your vehicle is out of warranty or approaching the end of the warranty period I will be willing to bet that your shocks are getting close to requiring replacement. You need heavy-duty shocks to help keep you under control. No matter what you're driving there are shocks designed for vehicles that will be carrying greater loads and they aren't that expensive. Consult your local auto parts store and it will be glad to help you make a selection that will suit your application. The same reasons that you change and adjust your shocks on your race car are the same reasons that you change the shocks on your tow vehicle, control. In extreme cases it may be necessary to use a heavier-duty spring package to help compensate for the additional weight you will be adding to the vehicle.
If you're pulling a trailer, you need a good, quality hitch matched to the kind and type of trailer and weight you will be pulling. A light-duty trailer will not require as heavy-duty of a hitch as a 32-foot trailer. Your trailer manufacturer can recommend a hitch rating for your trailer and vehicle. If you have a large trailer it may be a good idea to get a hitch with a trailer stabilizer or sway bar attachments. While installing a hitch isn't a complex job it's really better left to the professionals. Having a shop install it will save time and money over the long term and it'll come with a warranty as well.
Brakes on new vehicles are better than they have ever been in years gone by. But for the most part brakes were designed to stop just the vehicle and its passengers. Most newer trucks come with disc brakes on all four corners as do most cars. If you're going to be pulling a trailer and your vehicle has drum brakes on the rear you should invest in upgrading to discs on the back. Or at the very least make sure the stock units are in top operating condition.
There's nothing wrong with drum brakes, but when they get hot they don't cool as fast as a disc brake. With a trailer or the greater vehicle load, it's not too difficult to overheat the brakes in heavy traffic or in a long downhill run. Having the brakes fade pulling a 32-foot trailer heading down a steep grade will make for an exciting trip.
If your car already has disc brakes you may want to consider upgrading to a set of high-performance brake pads. Just like our race cars have different compound brake pads you can get higher performance brake pads for your tow vehicle. They're not that expensive and you never know when you may need that little bit more. It's cheaper to install a set of performance brake pads that are designed to be used in heavy-duty applications than to replace the front end of your tow vehicle after you run into the car in front of you at the bottom of a long downhill grade.
If you have a large trailer you better consider trailer brakes if they aren't already standard equipment. This is an option that can give you just that much more brake capacity without modifying your vehicle. Trailer brakes are a good option when the trailer and the contents start to weigh as much or more than your car or truck.
Cooling systems are often overlooked until they give you a problem and they never seem to give you a problem on the way home. If you're driving a truck, you may already have a heavy-duty cooling system option, but if you don't, a larger radiator is an easy install. Regardless of radiator size, you can keep the cooling system in top-notch shape by keeping the antifreeze up to date. Contrary to popular opinion the antifreeze doesn't last forever and needs to be changed at regular intervals to keep the cooling system at peak performance. Another safeguard is an additional seperate cooler for the transmission. Some automatic transmission vehicles have a trans cooler as part of the radiator. A dedicated trans cooler reduces the strain on the main system.
Tires and wheels are another area that is often over looked when it comes to trailer towing and/or just preparing a vehicle for greater loads. Tires should be matched to the loads and speeds you will be traveling. This is another place you need to consult with the tire experts at the tire store. Tell them the kind of weights you'll be dealing with and the speeds and distances you'll be traveling. Just because you will only be loading up twice a month don't think that you can you can use lighter-duty tires. Using a tire that isn't designed for heavy loads can cause some disastrous results. The same goes for wheels. Some aftermarket wheels aren't designed for heavy loads. Don't overlook the inflation levels of your tow vehicle's tires. You may have to get a different tire pressure gauge but it's critical to the performance, longevity, and safety to the operation of the vehicle. As racers, we know the value and the contribution that tires play in performance of our race car. The same level of performance while not measured in lap times is also critical in our car and trucks.
Running gear includes the engine transmission, and rearend, or transaxle depending on what you're driving. We all know the value of selecting the correct gear ratio for on-track performance. As the auto manufacturers struggle with corporate fuel economy numbers it may be that your car or truck may have the gear ratio optimized for overall fuel economy and not pulling power. You may find that the gear ratio may be too tall for pulling a trailer when heavily loaded. If you're driving a truck or a van that has a conventional rearend, the process isn't that complex to change the gear ratio. Installing a lower gear in the rearend will help keep the engine in the rpm range where it needs to be to pull a heavy load, and it can often improve fuel economy.
Transmissions take a real beating when the vehicle is loaded. If you have a manual transmission you need to make sure the oil is at the correct level and it's changed on a frequent basis. With automatic transmissions you need to make sure the fluid is clean and the temperature is kept within the manufacturers recommended ranges. As stated, an additional cooler is a wise investment. You may want to add an aftermarket pan that has a deeper sump for additional capacity as well. Some of the aftermarket transmission pans also have built-in heat exchangers for an added bonus.
When it comes to the engine you have a wide variety of options. If you have a newer vehicle with electronic fuel injection there are a wide variety of aftermarket "chips" to plug into the computer control that can boost horsepower without having to tear into the engine.
In fact, there are a multitude of products on the market today that will help engine performance without having to ever touch the engine itself. If your vehicle is diesel-powered it's possible to get some significant horsepower improvements by just adjusting the computer that controls the engine. If we just concentrate on the air induction and the exhaust systems we can get some real gains that will improve driveability.
Installing a cold air system and some better air filters than the OEM models will help reduce the inlet restriction. Getting cold or cooler air into the system will help with the quality of the air/fuel charge you will be feeding your engine. The addition of a cat-back exhaust system also allows you to develop greater power while not removing any of the emission components in the exhaust systems. These systems, both intake and exhaust, are generally better shapes and have larger freer flowing tubes and ducts.
