Indian Point Energy Center (IPEC) is a three-unit nuclear power plant station located in Buchanan, New York just south of Peekskill. It sits on the east bank of the Hudson River, about 36 miles north of Midtown Manhattan. The plant generates over 2,000 megawatts (MWe) of electrical power. For reference, the record peak energy consumption of New York City and Westchester County (The Con Edison Service Territory) was set during a seven-day heat wave on July 19, 2013 at 13,322 megawatts.[1] Electrical energy consumption varies greatly with time of day and season.[2]
The plant is owned and operated by Entergy Nuclear Northeast, a subsidiary of Entergy Corporation, and includes two operating Westinghouse pressurized water reactors – designated "Indian Point 2" and "Indian Point 3" –which Entergy bought from Consolidated Edison and the New York Power Authority respectively. The facility also contains the permanently shut-down Indian Point Unit 1 reactor.[3] As of 2015, the number of permanent jobs at the Buchanan plant is approximately 1,000.[4]
The original 40-year operating licenses for units 2 and 3 expired in September 2013 and December 2015, respectively. Entergy has applied for license extensions and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is moving toward granting a twenty-year extension for each reactor. Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo, however, wants the units shut down at the end of their current license periods.[5] As of midnight on September 28, 2013, Unit 2 has entered its "Period of Extended Operation" (PEO) until the NRC makes a final determination on its license renewal application.[6]
Reactor design[edit]
Indian point 1, built by Consolidated Edison, was a 275-megawatt pressurized water reactor that was issued an operating license on March 26, 1962 and began operations on September 16, 1962.[7] The first core used a thorium-based fuel, but this fuel did not live up to expectations.[8] The plant was operated with uranium dioxide fuel for the remainder of its life. The reactor was shut down on October 31, 1974 because the emergency core cooling system did not meet regulatory requirements. All spent fuel was removed from the reactor vessel by January 1976. The licensee, Entergy, plans to decommission Unit 1 when Unit 2 is decommissioned.[9]
The two additional reactors, Indian Point 2 and 3, are four-loop Westinghouse pressurized water reactors both of similar design. Units 2 and 3 were completed in 1974 and 1976, respectively. Unit 2 has a generating capacity of 1,032 MW, and Unit 3 has a generating capacity of 1,051 MW. Both reactors use uranium dioxide fuel of no more than 4.8% U-235 enrichment. The reactors at Indian Point are protected by containment domes made of steel-reinforced concrete that is four to six feet thick, with a carbon steel liner.[10]
Nuclear capacity in New York State[edit]
Units 2 and 3 are two of six operating nuclear energy sources in New York State. New York is one of the five largest states in terms of nuclear capacity and generation, accounting for approximately 5% of the national totals. Indian Point provides 39% of the state's nuclear capacity. Nuclear power produces 34.2% of the state's electricity, higher than the U.S. average of 20.6%. As of 2015, Indian Point generates approximately 10% of the state's electricity needs, and 25% of the electricity used in New York City and Westchester County.[4][11][12] Although many states with similarly sized nuclear industries are net electricity exporters, New York has historically been an electricity importer due to its high consumption. In 2013, New York had the fourth highest average electricity prices in the United States. Half of New York's power demand is in the New York City region, but only about two-fifths of generation originates there.[13][14]
Economic impact[edit]
A June 2015 report by the Nuclear Energy Institute found that the operation of Indian Point generates $1.3 billion of annual economic output in local counties, $1.6 billion statewide, and $2.5 billion across the United States. In 2014, Entergy paid $30 million in state and local property taxes. The total tax revenue (direct and secondary) was nearly $340 million to local, state, and federal governments.[4]
The power generated by the plant helped maintain affordable electricity prices in New York in 2015. Over the last decade, the station has maintained a capacity factor of greater than 93 percent. This is consistently higher than the nuclear industry average, and significantly higher than other forms of generation. The reliability helps offset the severe price volatility of other energy sources (e.g., natural gas) and the intermittency of renewable electricity sources (e.g., solar, wind).[4]
Indian Point directly employs about 1,000 full-time workers. Due to the technical nature of these positions, they are typically higher-paying. This employment creates another 2,800 jobs in the five-county region, and 1,600 in other industries in New York, for a total of 5,400 in-state jobs. Additionally, another 5,300 indirect jobs are created out of state, creating a sum total of 10,700 jobs throughout the United States.[4]
The June 2015 report by NEI analyzes the economic effects of a permanent closure of Indian Point. In the first year after a closure, the lost output in the surrounding counties would be $2.0 billion, $0.4 billion for the rest of New York state, and an additional $1.6 billion throughout the rest of the United States, for a total of $4.0 billion. This loss peaks after six years, when the total lost output reaches $5.0 billion for the United States. Over the same period, economies in local counties, New York, and the United States shrink due to this lost output. A nuclear power plant shutdown has a greater economic impact than its operation. This difference is mainly caused by the migration of workers and their families away from the area in search of new employment.[4]
In 2016, Cuomo directed the Public Service Commission to consider ratepayer-financed subsidies similar to those for renewable sources to keep nuclear power stations profitable in the competition against natural gas. However, Indian Point would not be included in the scheme.[15][16]
The currently operating Units 2 and 3 are each refueled on a two-year cycle. At the end of each fuel cycle, one unit is brought offline for refueling and maintenance activities. On March 2, 2015, Indian Point 3 was taken offline for 23 days to perform its refueling operations. Entergy invested $50 million in the refueling and other related projects for Unit 3, of which $30 million went to employee salaries. The unit was brought back online on March 25, 2015.[17]
Environmental concerns[edit]
Several major environmental concerns exist with the operation of the Indian Point Energy Center including radiation pollution and endangerment of wildlife.
Radioactive leakage from the plant containing several radioactive isotopes, such as strontium-90, cesium-137, cobalt-60, nickel-63 and tritium, a rarely-occurring isotope of hydrogen, flows into groundwater that eventually enters the Hudson River. In the last year, nine leaks have occurred, however, even at their highest levels tritium leaks have never exceeded one-tenth of one percent of US Nuclear Regulatory Commission limits. In February 2016, New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo called for a full investigation by state environment and health officials and is partnering with organizations like Sierra Club, Riverkeepers, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Indian Point Safe Energy Coalition, Scenic Hudson and Physicians for Social Responsibility in seeking the permanent closure of the plant.[citation needed]
Indian Point removes water from the nearby Hudson River. Despite the use of fish screens, the cooling system kills over a billion fish eggs and larvae annually.[18] According to one NRC report from 2010, as few as 38% of alewives survive the screens.[19] On September 14, 2015, a state hearing began in regards to the deaths of fish in the river, and possibly implementing a shutdown period from May to August. An Indian Point spokesman stated that such a period would be unnecessary, as Indian Point "is fully protective of life in the Hudson River and $75 million has been spent over the last 30 years on scientific studies demonstrating that the plant has no harmful impact to adult fish." The hearings are set to last three weeks.[20] Concerns were also raised over the planned building of new cooling towers, which would cut down forest land that is suspected to be used as breeding ground by muskrat and mink. At the time of the report, no minks or muskrats were spotted there.[19]
In 1997, Indian Point Unit 3 was removed from the NRC's list of plants that receive increased attention from the regulator. An engineer for the NRC noted that the plant had been experiencing increasingly fewer problems during inspections.[21] On March 10, 2009 the Indian Point Power Plant was awarded the fifth consecutive top safety rating for annual operations by the Federal regulators. According to the Hudson Valley Journal News, the plant had shown substantial improvement in its safety culture in the previous two years.[22] A 2003 report commissioned by then-Governor George Pataki concluded that the "current radiological response system and capabilities are not adequate to...protect the people from an unacceptable dose of radiation in the event of a release from Indian Point".[23] More recently, in December 2012 Entergy commissioned a 400-page report on the estimates of evacuation times. This report, performed by emergency planning company KLD Engineering, concluded that the existing traffic management plans provided by Orange, Putnam, Rockland, and Westchester Counties are adequate and require no changes.[24] According to one list that ranks U.S. nuclear power plants by their likelihood of having a major natural disaster related incident, Indian Point is the most likely to be hit by a natural disaster, mainly an earthquake.[25][26][27][28] Despite this, the owners of the plant still say that safety is a selling point for the nuclear power plant.[29]
- In 1973, five months after Indian Point 2 opened, the plant was shut down when engineers discovered buckling in the steel liner of the concrete dome in which the nuclear reactor is housed.[30]
- On October 17, 1980,[31] 100,000 gallons of Hudson River water leaked into the Indian Point 2 containment building from the fan cooling unit, undetected by a safety device designed to detect hot water. The flooding, covering the first 9 feet of the reactor vessel, was discovered when technicians entered the building. Two pumps that should have removed the water were found to be inoperative. NRC proposed a $2,100,000 fine for the incident.
- In February 2000, Unit 2 experienced a Steam Generator Tube Rupture (SGTR), which allowed primary water to leak into the secondary system through one of the steam generators.[32] All four steam generators were subsequently replaced.[citation needed]
- In 2005, Entergy workers while digging discovered a small leak in a spent fuel pool. Water containing tritium and strontium-90 was leaking through a crack in the pool building and then finding its way into the nearby Hudson River. Workers were able to keep the spent fuel rods safely covered despite the leak.[33] On March 22, 2006 The New York Times also reported finding radioactive nickel-63 and strontium in groundwater on site.[34]
- In 2007, a transformer at Unit 3 caught fire, and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission raised its level of inspections, because the plant had experienced many unplanned shutdowns. According to The New York Times, Indian Point "has a history of transformer problems".[5]
- On April 23, 2007, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission fined the owner of the Indian Point nuclear plant $130,000 for failing to meet a deadline for a new emergency siren plan. The 150 sirens at the plant are meant to alert residents within 10 miles to a plant emergency.[35]
- On January 7, 2010, NRC inspectors reported that an estimated 600,000 gallons of mildly radioactive steam was intentionally vented to the atmosphere after an automatic shutdown of Unit 2. After the vent, one of the vent valves unintentionally remained slightly open for two days. The levels of tritium in the steam were within the allowable safety limits defined in NRC standards.[36]
- On November 7, 2010, an explosion occurred in a main transformer for Indian Point 2, spilling oil into the Hudson River.[37] Entergy later agreed to pay a $1.2 million penalty for the transformer explosion.[5]
- July 2013, a former supervisor, who worked at the Indian Point nuclear power plant for twenty-nine years, was arrested for falsifying critical safety records and lying to federal regulators.[citation needed]
- On May 9, 2015, a transformer failed at Indian Point 3, causing the automated shutdown of reactor 3. A fire that resulted from the failure was extinguished, and the reactor was placed in a safe and stable condition.[38] The failed transformer contained about 24,000 gallons of dielectric fluid, which is used as an insulator and coolant when the transformer is energized. The U.S. Coast Guard estimates that about 3,000 gallons of dielectric fluid entered the river following the failure.[39]
- In June, 2015, a mylar balloon floated into a switchyard, causing an electrical problem resulting in the shutdown of Reactor 3.[40]
- In July 2015, Reactor 3 was shut down after a water pump failure.[citation needed]
- On December 5, 2015, Indian Point 2 was shutdown after several control rods lost power.[citation needed]
- On 6 February 2016, Governor Andrew Cuomo informed the public that radioactive tritium-contaminated water leaked into the groundwater at the Indian Point Nuclear facility.[41]
Spent fuel[edit]
Indian Point stores used fuel rods in two spent fuel pools at the facility.[33] The spent fuel pools at Indian Point are not stored under a containment dome like the reactor, but rather they are contained within an indoor 40-foot-deep pool and submerged under 27 feet of water. Water is a natural and effective barrier to radiation. The spent fuel pools at Indian Point are set in bedrock and are constructed of concrete walls that are four to six feet wide, with a quarter-inch thick stainless steel inner liner. The pools each have multiple redundant backup cooling systems.[33][42]
Indian Point began dry cask storage of spent fuel rods in 2008, which is a safe and environmentally sound option according to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.[43] Some rods have already been moved to casks from the spent fuel pools. The pools will be kept nearly full of spent fuel, leaving enough space to allow emptying the reactor completely.[44] Dry cask storage systems are designed to resist floods, tornadoes, projectiles, temperature extremes, and other unusual scenarios. The NRC requires the spent fuel to be cooled and stored in the spent fuel pool for at least five years before being transferred to dry casks.[45]
Earthquake risk[edit]
In 2008, researchers from Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory located a previously unknown active seismic zone running from Stamford, Connecticut, to the Hudson Valley town of Peekskill, New York – the intersection of the Stamford-Peekskill line with the well-known Ramapo Fault – which passes less than a mile north of the Indian Point nuclear power plant.[46] The Ramapo Fault is the longest fault in the Northeast, but scientists dispute how active this roughly 200-million-year-old fault really is. Many earthquakes in the state's surprisingly varied seismic history are believed to have occurred on or near it. Visible at ground level, the fault line likely extends as deep as nine miles below the surface.[47]
In July 2013, Entergy engineers reassessed the risk of seismic damage to Unit 3 and submitted their findings in a report to the NRC. It was found that risk leading to reactor core damage is 1 in 106,000 reactor years using U.S. Geological Survey data; and 1 in 141,000 reactor years using Electric Power Research Institute data. Unit 3's previous owner, the New York Power Authority, had conducted a more limited analysis in the 1990s than Unit 2's previous owner, Con Edison, leading to the impression that Unit 3 had fewer seismic protections than Unit 2. Neither submission of data from the previous owners was incorrect.[48]
According to a company spokesman, Indian Point was built to withstand an earthquake of 6.1 on the Richter scale.[49] Entergy executives have also noted "that Indian Point had been designed to withstand an earthquake much stronger than any on record in the region, though not one as powerful as the quake that rocked Japan."[50]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's estimate of the risk each year of an earthquake intense enough to cause core damage to the reactor at Indian Point was Reactor 2: 1 in 30,303; Reactor 3: 1 in 10,000, according to an NRC study published in August 2010. Msnbc.com reported based on the NRC data that "Indian Point nuclear reactor No. 3 has the highest risk of earthquake damage in the country, according to new NRC risk estimates provided to msnbc.com." According to the report, the reason is that plants in known earthquake zones like California were designed to be more quake-resistant than those in less affected areas like New York.[51][52] The NRC did not dispute the numbers but responded in a release that "The NRC results to date should not be interpreted as definitive estimates of seismic risk," because the NRC does not rank plants by seismic risk.[53]
IPEC Units 2 and 3 both operated at 100% full power before, during, and after the Virginia earthquake on August 23, 2011. A thorough inspection of both units by plant personnel immediately following this event verified no significant damage occurred at either unit.
Emergency planning[edit]
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission defines two emergency planning zones around nuclear power plants: a plume exposure pathway zone with a radius of 10 miles (16 km), concerned primarily with exposure to, and inhalation of, airborne radioactive contamination, and an ingestion pathway zone of about 50 miles (80 km), concerned primarily with ingestion of food and liquid contaminated by radioactivity.[54]
According to an analysis of U.S. Census data for msnbc.com, the 2010 U.S. population within 10 miles (16 km) of Indian Point was 272,539, an increase of 17.6 percent during the previous ten years. The 2010 U.S. population within 50 miles (80 km) was 17,220,895, an increase of 5.1 percent since 2000. Cities within 50 miles include New York (41 miles to city center); Bridgeport, Conn. (40 miles); Newark, N.J. (39 miles); and Stamford, Conn. (24 miles).[55]
In the wake of the 2011 Fukushima incident in Japan, the State Department recommended that any Americans in Japan stay beyond fifty miles from the area.[citation needed] Columnist Peter Applebome, writing in The New York Times, noted that such an area around Indian Point would include "almost all of New York City except for Staten Island; almost all of Nassau County and much of Suffolk; all of Bergen County, N.J.; all of Fairfield, Conn." He quotes Purdue University professor Daniel Aldrich as saying "Many scholars have already argued that any evacuation plans shouldn't be called plans, but rather "fantasy documents"".[23]
The current 10-mile plume-exposure pathway Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) is one of two EPZs intended to facilitate a strategy for protective action during an emergency and comply with NRC regulations. "The exact size and shape of each EPZ is a result of detailed planning which includes consideration of the specific conditions at each site, unique geographical features of the area, and demographic information. This preplanned strategy for an EPZ provides a substantial basis to support activity beyond the planning zone in the extremely unlikely event it would be needed."[56]
In an interview, Entergy executives said they doubt that the evacuation zone would be expanded to reach as far as New York City.[50]
Indian Point is protected by federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies, including a National Guard base within a mile of the facility, as well as by private off-site security forces.[57]
During the September 11 attacks, American Airlines Flight 11 flew near the Indian Point Energy Center en route to the World Trade Center. Mohamed Atta, one of the 9/11 hijackers/plotters, had considered nuclear facilities for targeting in a terrorist attack.[58] Entergy says it is prepared for a terrorist attack, and asserts that a large airliner crash into the containment building would not cause reactor damage.[59] Following 9/11 the NRC required operators of nuclear facilities in the U.S. to examine the effects of terrorist events and provide planned responses.[60] In September 2006, the Indian Point Security Department successfully completed mock assault exercises required by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.[citation needed] However, according to environmental group Riverkeeper, these NRC exercises are inadequate because they do not envision a sufficiently large group of attackers.[citation needed]
According to The New York Times, fuel stored in dry casks is less vulnerable to terrorist attack than fuel in the storage pools.[44]
Units 2 and 3 were both originally licensed by the NRC for 40 years of operation. The NRC limits commercial power reactor licenses to an initial 40 years, but also permits such licenses to be renewed. This original 40-year term for reactor licenses was based on economic and antitrust considerations, not on limitations of nuclear technology. Due to this selected period, however, some structures and components may have been engineered on the basis of an expected 40-year service life.[61] The original federal license for Unit Two expired on September 28, 2013,[62] and the license for Unit Three is due to expire in December 2015.[63] On April 30, 2007, Entergy submitted an application for a 20-year renewal of the licenses for both units. On May 2, 2007, the NRC announced that this application is available for public review.[64] Because the owner submitted license renewal applications at least five years prior to the original expiration date, the units are allowed to continue operation past this date while the NRC considers the renewal application.
On September 23, 2007, the antinuclear group Friends United for Sustainable Energy (FUSE) filed legal papers with the NRC opposing the relicensing of the Indian Point 2 reactor. The group contended that the NRC improperly held Indian Point to less stringent design requirements. The NRC responded that the newer requirements were put in place after the plant was complete.[65]
On December 1, 2007, Westchester County Executive Andrew J. Spano, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, and New York Governor Eliot Spitzer called a press conference with the participation of environmental advocacy groups Clearwater and Riverkeeper to announce their united opposition to the re-licensing of the Indian Point nuclear power plants. The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Office of the Attorney General requested a hearing as part of the process put forth by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.[citation needed] In September 2007 The New York Times reported on the rigorous legal opposition Entergy faces in its request for a 20-year licensing extension for Indian Point Nuclear Reactor 2.[66]
A water quality certificate is a prerequisite for a twenty-year renewal by the NRC.[citation needed] On 3 April 2010, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation ruled that Indian Point violates the federal Clean Water Act,[67] because "the power plant's water-intake system kills nearly a billion aquatic organisms a year, including the shortnose sturgeon, an endangered species."[citation needed] The state is demanding that Entergy constructs new closed-cycle cooling towers at a cost of over $1 billion, a decision that will effectively close the plant for nearly a year. Regulators denied Entergy's request to install fish screens that they said would improve fish mortality more than new cooling towers. Anti-nuclear groups and environmentalists have in the past tried to close the plant[citation needed], which is in a more densely populated area than any of the 66 other nuclear plant sites in the US.[citation needed] Opposition to the plant[from whom?] increased after the September 2001 terror attacks[citation needed], when one of the hijacked jets flew close to the plant on its way to the World Trade Center.[citation needed] Public worries also increased after the 2011 Japanese Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster and after a report highlighting the Indian Point plant's proximity to the Ramapo Fault.[citation needed]
Advocates of recertifying Indian Point include former New York City mayors Michael Bloomberg and Rudolph W. Giuliani. Bloomberg says that "Indian Point is critical to the city's economic viability".[68] The New York Independent System Operator maintains that in the absence of Indian Point, grid voltages would degrade, which would limit the ability to transfer power from upstate New York resources through the Hudson Valley to New York City.[69]
As the current governor, Andrew Cuomo continues to call for closure of Indian Point.[70] In late June 2011, a Cuomo advisor in a meeting with Entergy executives informed them for the first time directly of the Governor's intention to close the plant, while the legislature approved a bill to streamline the process of siting replacement plants.[71]
Nuclear energy industry figures and analysts responded to Cuomo's initiative by questioning whether replacement electrical plants could be certified and built rapidly enough to replace Indian Point, given New York state's "cumbersome regulation process", and also noted that replacement power from out of state sources will be hard to obtain because New York has weak ties to generation capacity in other states.[citation needed] They said that possible consequences of closure will be a sharp increase in the cost of electricity for downstate users and even "rotating black-outs".[72]
Several members of the House of Representatives representing districts near the plant have also opposed recertification, including Democrats Nita Lowey, Maurice Hinchey, and Eliot Engel and then Republican member Sue Kelly.[73]

In 1978, the first draft of The Empire Strikes Back was penned by a writer named Leigh Brackett. She passed away shortly thereafter and the script underwent a number of changes, first by George Lucas, before Lawrence Kasdan developed the final and more well-known screenplay. Brackett's initial draft is available for download here. The blog at starwarz.com highlights some of the more notable changes, such as Darth Vader not being Luke's father (though Luke's father appears as a character as a ghost Jedi on Dagoba), and a distinct lack of Boba Fett and carbon freezing.

Skip to comments.Gun Remark Kills Outdoorsman's Career (WP)
Posted on 02/24/2007 5:18:52 PM PST by xsrdx
SEATTLE - Modern hunters rarely become more famous than Jim Zumbo. A mustachioed, barrel-chested outdoors entrepreneur who lives in a log cabin near Yellowstone National Park, he has spent much of his life writing for prominent outdoors magazines, delivering lectures across the country and starring in cable TV shows about big-game hunting in the West.
Zumbo's fame, however, has turned to black-bordered infamy within America's gun culture -- and his multimedia success has come undone. It all happened in the past week, after he publicly criticized the use of military-style assault rifles by hunters, especially those gunning for prairie dogs.
(Excerpt) Read more at msnbc.msn.com ...
Always think before you blog...
I think the use of nukes would be more appropriate.
...if you don't accept his apology, get the hell away from my campfire..."
A sad day it is...
Quick, where's the Clinton crocodile tear video clip?
Al Franken's signature is on the papers by which AirAmerica ripped off a childrens' charity -- and now he's running for public office.
Have you EVER read a more slanted summary of the whole incident?
His apology was halfhearted AT BEST. Frankly, I do cringe when I think of the reaction, the idea that his whole career is over. But... I think the guy was WAYYYY out of line and part of the rules of doing stupid things and being wrong is you don't get to control the consequences.
Like a lot of hunters, he thinks the Second Amendment is about hunting. It's not.
Even in his "apology", he demonstrated that he still doesn't understand that basic fact.
Plus, there is no viable or reasonable distinction between so-called "assault weapons" (which aren't assault weapons at all - an assault weapon is a small-caliber, select fire lightweight rifle for use by paratroopers/special forces) and "ordinary" rifles. The distinctions as drawn in the law are cosmetic only.
So the real problem is that this man, despite his long career on the hunting side, has demonstrated that he still doesn't get it.
Typical lefty article.
Sorry Zumbo. Have a good retirement.
The second amendment has nothing to do with hunting.
That's too bad. I've always enjoyed Nugent. But ya know, maybe he'll be able to teach Zumbo a thing or two in the meantime, and maybe Zumbo will eventually figure out what he really did.
Mr. Zumbo and msnbc seem to be under the delusion, as many of the unwashed masses are, that the 2nd Amendment is about hunting.
I guess they think there's a big enough crowd of blueblood Republicrat hunters and only a few 'assault weapons' owners (e.g. semiautomatic owners) and ne'er the two shall meet and overlap.
Zumbo forgot who supported him and how it is all connected together in trying to protect gun rights. His log cabin near Yellowstone and long tenure with the Outdoorsman trade amount to an Ivory tower. He was lucky but forgot who he owed his loyalty to and had paid the price.
Yeah but it kinda spoils the meat.
I think it was the word "terrorist". I don't think a prairie dog distinguishes between a .223 fired from an AR or from something Zumbo approves of.
As others have noted, the 2nd Ammendment isn't about hunting. You'd think a guy who spent his life writing about firearms would know that.
He's got the same problem that some well known entertainers are discovering. You have the right to insult me. You don't have the right to insult me with no consequences. There are actors whose movies I no longer watch, singers whose records I no longer buy, and writers I don't read. Its not a boycott, I just don't like them enough to spend my money on their products any more.
Which one am I since I own both?
That last line is a pretty good summary, and even poetic. :-)
Well, gee, thanks! Three pints of good lager might have a role.
Just trying to put the most positive spin on it I can. I won't hold my breath though. :-)
LOL... They call me... tater salad!
Yeah. I thought that comment that assault weapon owners aren't as wealthy as hunters was pretty stupid. I'd love to get a Bushmaster for the price of a 700ADL.
...if you don't accept his apology, get the hell away from my campfire..."
Zumbo...as a small child....
Amen brother.
My point is, don't worry over his lost "career". The left will take good care of him now - he is far too valuable and useful to them to let this opportunity pass.
Australia: Blog Entry Ruins Outdoorsmans Career
In regards to the above Washington Post article, the author is as ignorant about firearms, and the Second Amendment, as Jim Zumbo.
The reaction -- from tens of thousands of owners of assault rifles
Wrong. Assault rifles are selective-fire. The reaction came from owners of semi-automatic rifles. Big difference.
I notice the author, Blaine Harden, also uses the terms "assault weapon" and "assault-style firearms" in his article.
Obviously, Mr. Harden has been drinking the Brady Campaign Kool-Aid.
Never let that be forgotten!
That makes you an American!
He combined ignorance with malice, never a recipe for a positive outcome.
Ya idiot.
At the time of the first AWB, in 1994:
Things are different now.
"here are actors whose movies I no longer watch, singers whose records I no longer buy, and writers I don't read. Its not a boycott, I just don't like them enough to spend my money on their products any more."
How intolerant of you. You should support them regardless. Otherwise the blessings of socialism can't be known through them.
Post of the day!
What Zumbo said was stupid and wrong but it amazes me how vicious we on the right become when someone steps off the reservation for even one split second. We attack like a pack of jackels and that person is, from that point on, dead to us. Zumbo isn't the only one this has happened to, just the latest.
Hunting prairie dogs with assault weapons? How is that a sport?
Most politicans kiss babies, Al picks their pockets...
The brady bunch used his comments as fodder almost the next day.
There was no apology until his meal ticket was in trouble.
When he apologized, it was less than half hearted. It was barely quarter hearted.
Too bad for zumbo.
The "reporter's" opinion. Nothing more.
Except that it reveals how pitifully ignorant Blaine Harden is.
FYI Semi-automatic rifles ("assault weapon" is a propaganda term), fire one round (bullet), and one round only, with each pull of the trigger. Just like a bolt-action or lever-action rifle.
How is that a sport?
How is it NOT sport?
It is no easier to hit a target with a semi-automatic rifle, than it is with a bolt-action or lever-action rifle.
What is the distinction between a traditional hunting rifle, and a Sports Utility Rifle - aka terrorist rifle (both semi-auto, chambered for .223 Remington) ?
Getting a buck with an open-sight SKS is far more "sport" than with some "magnum" shell through a high-powered scope.
< crickets >
Big mistake!
In the world we live in, today, I demand of others the same attention to principle I adhere to. He may have been tired when he wrote what he did. That is no excuse. That his fatigue would allow his subconscious to put into words what he had in his head reveals much of the man. There was/is a grain of himself in the blog despite his furious backpedaling.
If he's truly appalled at what he wrote, he can make amends. His trip back into the fold will be long and arduous. As well it should be. If he's unwilling to make the trip, that will be telling, as well.

Spark Tablet Coming Soon
Spark device with KDE is completely open.
Aaron J. Seigo, developer of the Spark tablet, has posted a lengthy Q&A detailing the new device's specifications. According to Seigo's blog, Spark pre-order registration will open next week, and units are expected to begin shipping in May 2012. At that time, it will be available for order online worldwide.
The device, which will run Mer with the KDE Plasma Active interface, is completely open and can be altered to suit customers' needs. Seigo says that Spark is the device most suited to adaptation for vertical applications available today. Depending on order volume, Spark tablets can be shipped with customizations pre-installed and pricing incentives.
The device has a 1.3Mpx webcam on the front and 800x480 screen resolution. It has two USB ports, a microSD slot, a 3.5mm audio jack, a power jack, and standard 802.11 b/g WiFi. The first run of Spark devices, which are based on the Zenithink C71, will not offer built-in 3G or GPS, although there are plans to provide those features later depending on market demand.
For developers, Seigo recommends QtQuick for creating applications targeting the Spark. The device also has KDE libraries, including the Plasma framework. However, Spark can support non-Qt apps. Developers also will have access to the add-ons store, so according to Seigo, getting your apps to Spark users will be "dead simple." You can read the entire post at http://aseigo.blogspot.com/.

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 7:01 PM GMT on September 06, 2005
The center of Tropical Depression 16 was just fixed by the NOAA hurricane hunters a few miles north of Grand Bahama Island, which is 110 miles east of West Palm Beach, Florida. Peak winds found by the hurricene hunters on the west side were just 20 knots, and the central pressure was a very high 1010 mb. TD 16 is still very disorganized, and is not a threat to intensify rapidly for the next 1 - 2 days.
The peak winds and most intense convection is found well north of the center, in the ocean areas between Cape Canaveral and Jacksonville. QuikSCAT satellite winds of up to 30 - 35 mph exist in this region. The St. Augustine CMAN station reported sustained winds of 37 mph at 1pm EDT, which is only 2 mph below tropical storm force. Daytona Beach has reported heavy rain and winds gusts up to 25 mph in squalls the past few hours.
Melbourne radar shows a large area of echoes circling a very ill-defined center 200 or so miles east of Lake Okeechobee. Doppler radar estimates of the wind velocity from the Miami radar are no longer available, as the Miami radar has failed, and may be down the rest of the day.
As far as intensity goes, TD 16 is in a low shear environment of 5 - 10 knots, and the shear over it is expected to decrease the next two days. I believe that by tomorrow night we will see TD 16 turn into Tropical Storm Ophelia. However, the upper-level ouflow to the northeast of the storm is going to be hampered by the upper level outflow from Tropical Storm Nate. As long as Nate continues to show little movement, TD 16 will suffer and will not be able to intensify very rapidly. By the end of the week, when Nate is expected to move away to the northeast and leave TD 16 behind, more significant strengthening can occur, assuming TD 16 has not made landfall in Florida.
TD 16 should move very slowly the next three days, since it is trapped under a strong high pressure ridge where steering currents are very weak. A slow northward or northwestward motion is indicated by most of the models, which would bring heavy rains to the east coast of Florida all week. The GFDL model, in contrast, moves TD 16 rapidly across Florida and into the Gulf of Mexico. None of the other forecast models show this, and the GFDL solution is being discounted at this time.

Can "run-through" be possibly a noun? Is it possible at all? If yes, can you, please, come up with a sentence that would contain this noun? Can you also, please, describe a situation, in which that sentence would naturally apply? Please note that I don't need those cases, in which "run-through" would act more like a modifier to another word ("He chose a run-through mode for his system", "There is a need in a run-through program", "Another run-through strategy will ruin the whole project", etc.)

This is an acting term. A "run-through" is a preliminary practice performance of a play, done complete without interruption.
Note: "off book" means an actor has his/her lines committed to memory.
Just to add my two cents, it can also be used in the context of performing a practice drill, as in: "We did a run-through of the code blue response and our times were terrible."

The Fish shell simplifies the console
The Fish shell offers some user-friendly features for command line beginners.
Most Linux newcomers (and even some Linux veterans) shudder at the thought of using the command line. Consulting the manuals for the major command line interpreters is more likely to confuse a newcomer than to help. The manpage that comes with the Bash shell has around 4000 lines, and the Zsh manual has almost 17,000.
The reason for this complexity is that these command line interpreters were not really designed with the beginning user in mind; instead, command line interpreters were created for efficiency and to facilitate streamlining and automation by skilled users.

Everyone who wants to know about a TRULY important and telling story in TUSD needs to click on this link:
Please note that one part of the story refers to a letter sent to HT Sanchez by Tucson's chief of police. In any other town, this sort of correspondence between the superintendent of the city's largest school district and its key law enforcement official would be front page news. The Weekly has ignored it so far, as has the Star. Why?
Virtually every story in this blog about TUSD reads like it could have been ghosted by their PR flacks. Here's a real story for Safier and anyone else at The Weekly to get into and surface some more facts. It has implications for the operation of TUSD, the upcoming Board election and, most crucial of all, the safety of students and staff in every school, not just the school featured in the story.
When will the journalists at The Weekly and the other media outlets in this town start to do some real work and report on stories that TRULY matter?
Arizona has one of the highest prison rates because we are one of the most uneducated states. Too many kids are not graduating from high school, or not learning a trade after school. Who's responsible? The state, or the parents?
That is when it all started. Mr. Barnes helped to create some great friendships.
Mr. Barnes had no idea what he started when he sat us next to each other in that Lineweaver Elementary class. Unfortunately too many of those comics were Richie Rich/Casper.
Can't agree with the Trump-Twitter-type comments. However, at his age, I'd like McCain to consider retiring gracefully instead of getting pushed out by members of this current carefree and crude Trump inspired "base" of McCain's party. Bacteria have more class.
Although I don't agree with every thing he said, I love a person who pulls no punches and speaks his mind.
I really appreciate that guys. I was starting to think it was me.
I appreciate your story Patti(I'm assuming this "comment" is for you rather than the organizers -tho I can appreciate their work too). I have been briefly homeless I've had friends in homelessness, I've worked in a supportive housing program for formerly homeless families. So i'm familiar with the aspect of being homeless that renders you, me, anyone who's homeless - our humanity especially- invisible while simultaneously exposing us to the harsh & constant visibility of judgement & all too often the disdain and blame that accompany this dehumanizing impact of poverty in America. I wish you the best of luck in your desire and ambition to participate in revealing the real that lives in the reality of being poor & homeless in our country. I will be thinking about potential collaborations we can do across state boundaries (I'm in San Francisco).
Fuck all of Arizona in its little self absorbed ass. I have watched people in this state be the rudest and meanest dumb pieces of shit on Earth. Come down here and try to drive with these mongrels and asswipes...btw to you losers who go on about how much you love this state you probably do not live in the bigger cities, you probably have nice homes away from shit you would not survive interacting with. Yuppies meth heads and assholes are all you offer. I have been trapped here for 22 years and this place is shit. You who live here for the most part are also shit. Think about how "nice" you all are and then kindly fuck yourselves.
In Dec. of 2014 I was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the age of 39. The doctors could give me no hope. I did have chemo and radiation, the doctors thought that could prolong my life for a little while. In March of 2015 I had surgery, thats when they found that the cancer had spread to my lymp nodes in my right hip area and couldn't get it all with the surgery. Now it looked like 3-6 months is all I would live. It was a very aggressive form of colorectal cancer.
While searching through the internet i saw lots of testimonies about how people called cured of cancer with the help of cannabis oil, so i had to try if i could get cured and still say my own testimony. I saw this email email@example.com and contacted them in hope of getting the oil and it was delivered to me after taking the oil as prescribed i went for more test and found out that most of the cancer cells were dead and i want everyone to know that am perfectly fine and happy with my family.
Huh? My thoughts exactly.
I recently experienced homelessness ( but in a car) for about 9 months up in Oregon. I don't live there, I just go to visit my mom, and have a trailer in storage that I use in an RV park for a couple of months. But as I was packing my car to return to the desert, I was s taying with my mom after re-storaging my trailer. My brother had me arrested for nonsense charges, but also had me banned from my moms (he's 68, and living in my moms without rent), so I stayed in my car assuming it would end quickly. It never did, and it just dragged on and on without progress, and I finally had to leave because i couldn't survive alone like that with my depression, isolated and unable to return to MY LIFE in the reset. I had sold my place so woul d be free to go anywhere. It was either back to Tucson or Las Cruces, and I'm in LC.
I took ALOT OF PICTURES during that time, and love your project. I also learned SOOO much about the hidden world of homeless people and the ugly degrading parts of a system that is praised for their noble efforts. Bullshit! They help you sink deeper into despair, and ensure that you know what you are.
I write alot, and especially about my view from the other side of the wall that separates those who have homes, and those who are publicly scrutinized 24/7.
If anyone is interested in collaborating on a project in this subject, please contact me. I need to be part of something again.
Hey CW, "Huh?" was my comment too. Then I started hearing the theme from "The Twilight Zone"
Thank you for posting our yoga events.
Even though the Star laid off a ton of people in 2011 (five years ago yesterday, in fact), they had been steadily hiring people again in the last couple years. There have been quite a few names in the paper that are completely unfamiliar to the folks who were let go in the big bloodletting. It seems maybe they couldn't afford to be making all those hires after all. Sad. Meanwhile, notice who DIDN'T get the ax this time (or any other time) -- any member of the top-heavy management.

Sunny afternoon ahead
WESH 2 meteorologist Jason Brewer's central Florida forecast.
slconfidential: Obama is upset because many countries in NATO are users just like him.. They are in the club, don't pay the dues, but when something happens, they want the rest of the members to help. Don't join if you can't pay. "If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is 'yes,'" Trump said. Trump is correct. Seen this is the news several times. A fire in a rural area and a house is burning, firemen show up and they find that the owner failed to pay the yearly bill for fire protection. The house burns down and the owner is screaming about it. Well, who's at fault there?


text: In the Comments Box area, it says "no" to the question: "Add comments to posts" but it is still showing up on posts. Now I do want the Comments Box to be showing up on posts but I am confused. It should be showing up if you answer "yes" to the question "Add comments to posts" and it shouldn't be showing up if you answer "no" to the same question, right?

WEST ALLIS, Wis. -- Jack Sprague won his first NASCAR Truck Series pole of the year and will start from the front in Friday night's Toyota Tundra Milwaukee 200.
Driving a Chevrolet, Sprague circled the one-mile Milwaukee Mile in 29.513 seconds at an average of 121.980 miles per hour.
Sprague's previous best starting position this year was second at the Dodge Ram Tough 200 in April. He finished a disappointing 20th in that event.
Two weeks ago, Sprague started seventh en route to winning the Chevy 400k at Texas Motor Speedway.
Joining Sprague in the front row is Todd Bodine, who qualified with a speed of 120.964 mph in a Toyota.
Dennis Setzer, who is second in the series points standings, was third in a Chevrolet. He was followed by Brendan Gaughan and defending race winner Ted Musgrave, who both drive Dodges.
Series points leader Bobby Hamilton was 20th in a Dodge.

A dictionary will tell you that pong is "an unpleasant smell; stink." Wikipedia would tell you that pong is "one of the earliest arcade video games, and is a tennis sports game featuring simple two-dimensional graphics." This project is closest to the latter.
You can go to my blog post or website to see how the pong paddles were made and to get some information on the circuit boards. Instead of copying that info, i will try to pick up from there.
Here are just some quick pictures of the pong paddles and circuit boards i made.
The Pong Case is built from hardwood bought at a local hardware store. The case is a bit big for the screen, but there has to be room for the circuit boards to fit inside.
The case's door is also made from hardwood. A piece of Lexan acts as the window for the case allowing the players to see the screen within. The wood on the door is held together with angle brackets and the Lexan window is hot glued on the back.
Holes are drilled in 2 sides of the box for the audio jack plugs which connect the pong paddles to the main screen. A hole is drilled in the front for the power switch.
The Arduino is bolted onto the outside platform where it and the battery pack will sit for ease.
the door is attached with hinges so i can easily access the inside electronics if need be it.
Then the audio jacks are wired up, power is distributed, and everything gets plugged into the Arduino.
Here is the completed game, all wired up and ready to program.
There are a few more things to add like feet for the case and a clasp to keep the door close on it. But besides that, the construction is done. Oh i just remembered i need to put a buzzer in it. I will update the post when it plays pong...
Well at the end of today i have the code almost done.
The paddles are 3 pixels wide and they can be moved with the pong paddles i built.
At the beginning of the game the ball randomly appears and takes off at a random angle towards the same direction right now.
The ball can carry over to the next matrix and deflect off the walls right now. Everything works fluidly and quickly. The ball is set to maximum speed which seems like a good challenging speed.
What is left to do is to make it deflect off the paddle and switch directions or sound a buzzer to indicate a point was scored and restart a new game.
Im learning some more about programming. Mostly working with bits and well learning how to program pong. The next update will be when the pong program is done and i have video for you.
Program is all done and pong works!! See video. (in the video, the speed of the game is not set to the fastest. If you cant tell, i am playing myself, so do not let this be a testament to my pong playing ability :)
Update 12/27/10
I have added a few functions and modes to the pong code (see the last video).
The first function is score keeping. It keeps and displays the score after each point, 5 points to win. Once 5 points are scored, the score flashes for a bit and then a new round is started.
Pong now has 3 different modes, each is selectable by using the pong paddle. Turning the knob changes the mode. The mode is displayed at the top of the screen for the first 3 seconds after a restart of the Arduino.
The first mode is just like the previous code. It is 2 player pong with the paddles being 3 pixels wide.
The second mode is also 2 player code but the paddles are 2 pixels wide which makes the game more difficult.
The third mode is a one player game where you can practice your skill by playing against a "wall"
Update 4/11/11
I have fixed some of the few bugs that were left and came up with a "new bounce scenario", as I call it. See the 3 new videos.
Great memories! We owned one
Great memories! We owned one of the original Pong units. No LEDs, because they might not have been in use outside NASA (if they existed at all). It was TV at about the same resolution. VHF channel 2 I think. Nice job doing the repro.
One word to describe it: EPIC
I still have an atari with the pong video game, guess ill dig it out.

In this special weekly feature, TODAY Food editor Phil Lempert brings you recipes "stolen" (with permission) from notable restaurants across America. See how much fun you can have (and money you can save) by cooking these dishes at home.
THIS WEEK: Pumpkin and tomato soup from Tisserie in New York City
Halloween is just around the corner, so this week's stolen recipe for pumpkin soup, from chef Morris Harrar at New York City's Tisserie, might inspire you to decorate your jack-o'-lantern with markers instead of carving it — that way you can make it into this delicious soup when Halloween's over. The safest way to prepare a pumpkin for cooking is to wash it first and then, with a large serrated knife, cut it in half using a sawing motion on one side of the stem. Once halved, scoop out the seeds and then cut into smaller pieces and carefully remove the skin.
Tisserie, a unique bakery located in the heart of Union Square, offers world-class pastries alongside an assortment of unique lunch items and some of the finest ground coffee in New York City. The idea behind this special patisserie was conceived by executive chef Morris Harrar along with his brother Ronald. To implement his concept of a unique New York City patisserie, Tisserie is a chic, two-level culinary destination. It creates a warm, inviting atmosphere that keeps customers coming back for more epicurean delicacies.

Baking Directions:

Bring it to a boil and cook for 45 minutes. 4. Stir in the tomato ketchup. 5. Blend, in batches if needed, until smooth in a blender or food processor. Strain it and serve.
Serving Directions:
Chef's tip: Using organic produce and ingredients will make your soup even more delicious.

New Blog Puts Parenting in Proper Context
A parenting blog for any parent who's a little less than perfect.
Understanding that and understanding no parent is or can be perfect is the driving force behind a website and blog written by Tracy Gibb, herself a parent. The site is Less Than Perfect Parents.
Ms. Gibb is a mom and a former preschool teacher who used to run herself ragged trying to be the "perfect mother." She finally realized that she had to let go of that image in order to be the best mom she could for her child. That's when she relaxed and began to really enjoy being a mom. She has learned so many little tricks in her home and classroom that she used to keep things under control and keep everyone busy and happy.
"I have made plenty of mistakes," she said. "I have also learned from those mistakes. I'm sharing with readers so they can benefit from my experience."
The website offers more than just parenting mistakes and how to avoid them. It discusses crafts, health, recipes, fashion and development.
Ms. Gibb notes that every child is different, but they all have the same basic needs in life. "Good parents meet those basic needs - love, affection, food, spending time with their children. But they also have a lot of questions. What's really necessary and what's not when it comes to a child's wants and demands," she said. "Together, we'll walk through these challenges and hopefully become better parents and raise better children."

Definition of Wednesday in English:
- Carl arrived home early on Wednesday morning for a tearful reunion with Kim on the doorstep.
- On Wednesday evening last week that seemed like only the remotest of possibilities.
- Talks between union leaders and employers will take place on Wednesday and Thursday.
adverbchiefly North American

- The Leisure League will play Wednesdays from 6:00-7:30 p.m., June 18-July 23, at the high school.
- We play Wednesdays and Sundays at 7:00pm.
- I am there Wednesdays and Fridays.
Old English Wōdnesdæg 'day of Odin', named after the Germanic god Odin or Woden, the supreme god; translation of late Latin Mercurii dies, Odin being equated with the Roman god Mercury. Compare with Dutch woensdag.
Tuesday from Old English:
The ancient Germanic god Tiw is the source of Tuesday. When Germanic peoples came into contact with the Romans they realized that their god Tiw was similar to Mars, the Roman god of war whose day was the third of the week (and who appears in forms such as the French Mardi), and started to call that day 'Tiw's day' or Tuesday. Other days of the week were formed in a similar way, with Wednesday being Woden's day, Thursday Thor's day, and Friday Freya's day; Woden or Odin was the supreme god of the German and Scandinavian peoples, Thor the god of thunder, and Freya or Frigga the goddess of love and fertility.

Here is the Coarse obj:
public class Coarse
public virtual int Id { get; private set; }
public virtual string Name { get; set; }
