Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC) efforts to regulate and reduce radioactive contamination of sewage sludge, focusing on: (1) the status of cleanup efforts at the Southerly Sewage Treatment Plant; (2) the amount of radioactive sewage contamination at sewage treatment facilities nationwide; and (3) NRC efforts to monitor radioactive sewage discharges and treatment plant workers' radiation exposure.
GAO found that: (1) NRC and Southerly plant officials do not believe that the plant poses any health or safety risks to treatment plant workers or the general public; (2) the total cleanup costs for the Southerly plant could exceed $3 billion if NRC and Ohio do not approve on-site disposal of contaminated soil; (3) some treatment plants' sludge and ash disposal methods could expose plant workers and the general public to elevated levels of radiation; (4) NRC and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have not conducted required testing and inspections to determine the extent of radioactive contamination at sewage treatment facilities; (5) treatment plants will face significant future cleanup costs if radioactive sludge and ash disposal methods and monitoring are not improved; (6) although NRC has revised its regulation to reduce the concentration of radiation that licensees can discharge to treatment plants, it needs to further study why radioactive materials concentrate during the waste treatment process and the impact of new regulations on concentration levels; (7) NRC and EPA have not issued sufficient guidelines so that waste treatment operators can regulate and reduce radioactive discharges; (8) the health risks of exposure to contaminated sludge, ash, and related by-products are not known because NRC and EPA do not know how much radiation is contained in these products and how these products might affect people; and (9) both NRC and EPA are required to resolve contamination problems at treatment plants.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On June 20, 1995, NRC's staff informed the commission of its plans for a proposed rulemaking to address issues related to disposal of radioactive material into sanitary sewers and the potential for reconcentration of that material once released. According to the staff, about 6.5 percent of NRC's 6,700 licensees, or 437 licensees, discharged radioactive material to sanitary sewers. Data collected by the staff from license applications indicated that 29 percent, or 1,973 licensees, planned for potential discharge of radioactive material to sanitary sewers. Since there is no significant difference in the distribution of types of licensees and practices between NRC and agreement-state licensees, NRC concluded that the same percentages would apply to agreement-state licensees as well.
Recommendation: To determine what actions may be needed to better control the spread of radioactivity contaminated sludge, ash, and related by-products from sewage treatment plants that receive radioactive materials from NRC licensees, the Chairman, NRC, should determine the extent to which radioactive contamination of sewage sludge, ash, and related by-products is occurring.
Agency Affected: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: GAO recommended that NRC directly notify the treatment plants that receive discharges from NRC and agreement states' licensees of the potential for radioactive contamination. NRC plans, instead, to notify state officials of the potential for contamination of sewer treatment plants and let the state officials decide whether to disseminate the information further.
Recommendation: To determine what actions may be needed to better control the spread of radioactivity contaminated sludge, ash, and related by-products from sewage treatment plants that receive radioactive materials from NRC licensees, the Chairman, NRC, should directly notify the treatment plants that receive discharges from NRC and the agreement states' licensees of the potential for radioactive contamination because of radioactive materials' concentrating and of the possibility that they may need to test or monitor their sludge for radioactive content.
Agency Affected: Nuclear Regulatory Commission
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: NRC is working with EPA and other interested parties to develop a national approach for ensuring the protection of treatment workers and the public. In 1994, NRC solicited public comment on alternatives for improving control over discharges of radioactive materials to sanitary sewers. In May 1997, EPA and NRC issued a draft "Guidance on Radioactive Materials in Sewage Sludge and Ash at Publicly Owned Treatment Works." This draft guidance was revised in June 2002, and another revision is planned for late 2003. NRC and EPA also conducted a national survey of sewage treatment plants to assess the extent of radioactive contamination in sludge, ash, and byproducts. In this regard, EPA and NRC completed a pilot survey and published the results in May 1999, and began a full survey in June 1999. Sampling of the sludge/ash was conducted in 1999 and 2000, for 316 of the 420 facilities that returned the surveys. Final laboratory results were received in October 2000, and an analysis of the data was completed in July 2002. The final survey report was issued in November 2003 after further analysis of the lab results. NRC and EPA also completed development of a model to evaluate the sewage sludge exposure pathway in November 2003. Final decisions on actions needed are awaiting completion of the comment period on the dose modeling report and recommendations document, which is expected to occur in late 2004. We are closing this recommendation because over 10 years has passed since the recommendation was made.
Recommendation: To determine what actions may be needed to better control the spread of radioactivity contaminated sludge, ash, and related by-products from sewage treatment plants that receive radioactive materials from NRC licensees, the Chairman, NRC, should establish acceptable limits for radioactivity in sludge, ash, and related by-products that should not be exceeded in order to ensure the health and safety of treatment workers and the public.

How can we be free
When we have a government
That always watches us
Every move that we make
Every status that we post
With GPS on our phones
And letting all our friends know
Where we are going
It has to be pretty easy
Pretty easy for them to watch us.
Soon vary soon they will try
Try and control us
Try to control our minds
Try to make us do what they
Want us to do
Haven't they learned anything?
When a people a kicked down
Then tend to kick back
At the government
Look at how this country was started
So when you are updating that status
Or texting that good friend of yours
You should make sure you watch what you say
Beacuse if the government doesn't like what you say
The drones are coming for you!

Fresh from his win at Transgrancanaria, Ryan Sandes tells us why he has his heart set on a Grand Traverse of the Drakensberg
220km, non-stop, no sleep – sounds fun.
In about 2010 some guys were talking about the Drakensberg Grand Traverse (DGT) and saying that it's the most extreme thing you can do in South Africa. It's kind of the next thing from running a multi-day race – just really hardcore and out there!
I don't want to start hallucinating and thinking about snakes.
Who are you doing it with?
Ryno Griesel. He's the current record holder [which stands at 60h 29m 30s]. I got talking to him after I did the Fish River record in 2012 and got real excited. I also realised it would be near impossible to tackle it on my own, as I don't have enough experience in the Drakensberg – unless I spent like six months there as a mountain man.
Going 50 hours without sleep is a problem.
Biggest challenge?
We'll push through the night and I have never done that before. Going 50 hours without sleep is a problem. I'm not sure you can train for that. On a normal trail you can kind of just switch off and put one foot in front of the next, but on this the terrain is so technical you have to be on full alert the whole time. I don't want to start hallucinating and thinking about snakes!
Yes, the famous 'sleepmonsters'. How will you deal with them?
Ryno is quite keen to go without sleep and with his adventure racing background I think he could do it. But I don't want to start hallucinating! I'm going to push for 18 hours before I need to nap, but ideally want to go for at least 24. But it's also weather dependent – if it's raining and cold we won't be able to stop and I'll just have to push through.
But the weather's nice in South Africa, right?
It can be very unpredictable – you can get everything from 35°C during the day to thunderstorms. It gets really cold at night – you can even a couple of inches of snow!
Your secret for success?
If we can move up some of the big climbs fast, we will move fast. Ryno has done a lot of work on the maps to pick the fastest lines. Also, he's very technical. He knows how to manage his nutrition and pack and keep moving where I'm a bit more clumsy with that sort of stuff – I have to sharpen up!
Final word?
It's the next level for me. With trail running in general, all the top guys want to keep pushing the boundaries. That's where trail running is going – fastest known times (FKTs) on trails that aren't really runnable.
Ryan and Ryno will attempt their challenge March 23-27. Follow their journey live here.

Plato's Stepchildren is a Charlotte, NC based Instrumental Prog-Rock Band. Formed in October 2013 the power trio consists of Phil Black on Guitar/Synth (Crackers & Snackmeat, The Hot House Hefftones), Steve Saldutte on Bass (Chris Sanchez Band, Case Federal & The Agents)
Searing melodies and swift transitions create the sound of the Queen City's freshest musical offspring: Plato's Stepchildren.

Darren Lehmann, the Australia coach, has been fined 20 per cent of his match fee by the International Cricket Council following his radio outburst earlier this week at England bowler Stuart Broad.
Lehmann admitted a charge of publicly criticising and making inappropriate comments about Broad, including accusing him of cheating and urging the Australian public to harass him at every turn when England arrive Down Under this winter.
The ICC chief executive, David Richardson said: "Whilst noting the context and nature of the comments made, showing mutual respect for one's fellow professionals – including for coaches, players and match officials – is a cornerstone of how we play the game."
The ruling brought a swift end to the controversy on a second day dominated by Australia. Steve Smith took advantage of England's lightweight bowling attack to help himself to a first Test century with a six off Jonathan Trott, who he described as a part-time bowler.
"I probably wouldn't have played that shot if it had been someone else bowling – if it was James Anderson or Stuart Broad – but Jonathan Trott is a part-time bowler. It was a good chance to get it out of the way and it came off in the end," Smith said.
The England bowling coach, David Saker, defended England's bowling line-up, which included debutants Chris Woakes and Simon Kerrigan, unused today, despite the ease with which Australia pounded their way to 492 for 8 declared. "I thought Woakes did really well," Saker claimed. "Bowling to Shane Watson yesterday, he is a world-class batsmen and will hit you for four if you are a bit off.
"I'm sure Simon would have wanted to bowl differently, but it is only the first half of the game, the second half he might come into it and we are hoping he will.
"We believe we can win the match," he added. "They are in a strong position. They have batted really well for two days, but if we can bat well enough for long enough we can still win.
"We thought it would be a dry wicket. We still think that. We picked a side that we thought would give us the best chance of winning the game. In the crucial parts of the games in this series we have been the better team. When the game is on the line we picked players who we thought could win us the game. That's the way we do it.
"Two days into a five day game its harsh to say we haven't got it right. After five days you can probably write what you want. If Simon Kerrigan bowls us to victory on day five it will be a feel-good story for a lot of people."
Saker was equally strident in his defence of an England over-rate that shrank to 11 in the last hour, at which some of the paying customers booed. "The ball was very wet," he said. "You are trying to dry the ball and deliver it dry to the bowler. You have to make sure the ball is as dry as you can make it that's the crux of it. A mostly educated crowd would have known that."

A new Tiger Woods mistress has emerged. Her name is Devon James and she was hired through an escort service by Tiger for "a two-girl party," according to RadarOnline.
Apparently there was "very little talk" involved, Tiger liked to be the
"dominant partner in bed" and he confessed in his second rendezvous
with Devon that wife Elin "didn't want to have a sex a lot."
we just say, "Uh, duh?" and also: YAWN.
An escort comes out of
the woodwork to say she had a threesome with Tiger Woods? Guess it must
be Wednesday.
To shock us at this point, Tiger Woods' newest
scandal either needs to be sex with a gaggle of little people who ride
around in a clown car or a dude. Anything else is like, "What else is

Zack: Yeah, it's like that, but take one point off the star and then that forms like a five-sided shape in the middle. Then you put like a combination between an eye and a question mark for the pupil in there. Sort of a hook shape.
LD_angel8ys: i dunno????
Zack: I'll draw it, hang on.
LD_angel8ys: never seen that before
Zack: It's a little weird. Okay, then it says SING THE SONG INTO THE VOID and it has some weird shaped letters.
LD_angel8ys: wtf
Zack: Then there's a picture of an egg floating in front of part of a skull and some nostrils and some grass or something growing out of the corner and an arrow pointing from the grass to the egg.
LD_angel8ys: im lost
Zack: I think if you read the words it puts the grass into the egg somehow. The nutrition maybe? I don't know.

What Drives Heterogeneity in Foreign Exchange Rate Expectations: Deep Insights from a New Survey
Foreign exchange rate expectations play a central role in virtually all monetary models for the open economy. Therefore, it is extremely important to gain empirical insights into the expectations formation process. In this paper, we use a unique disaggregated data set to model the expectations of the Yen/USD exchange rate of about 50 leading foreign exchange rate professionals. The survey includes not only forecasts of the exchange rate, but also for macroeconomic fundamentals, like GDP growth, inflation, and interest rates. Different expectations of fundamentals might lead to different views of exchange rate dynamics. Using panel models, we are able to confirm the heterogeneity of exchange rate expectations often detected by former authors. More important, we provide strong evidence regarding the likely source of heterogeneity. In line with forward looking models for the exchange rate, expected fundamentals have a substantial impact on exchange rate expectations, thereby challenging the backward looking evidence of previous studies. However, the heterogeneity in the expectations of macroeconomic fundamentals is not sufficient to explain the heterogeneity in exchange rate expectations.

text: [[quoteright:300:http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/edit00.jpg]][[caption-width-right:290:LET'S MIGHT GAINEEEE!]]''Brave Express Might Gaine'' was the fourth Anime/BraveSeries installment produced by Creator/{{Sunrise}}. ''Might Gaine'' aired in Japan in 1993, with a total of 47 episodes. Unlike prior shows in the Brave Series, the robots were created by humans, as opposed to having more extraterrestrial or supernatural origins. ''Might Gaine'' is set in the near future, when the world's reserves of fossil fuel have nearly run out; cars are powered with recharageable electric batteries, and long distance trade is handled by surface ships such as trains. Also made possible are the construction of powerful mecha, some of which are used for criminal ends.Opposing them is the Brave Express Team, lead by by the teenage industrialist Might Senpuuji. Given life by an advanced AI program, he is assisted by his own team of transforming mecha. The episodes are fairly stand-alone for the first part of the series; it isn't until Might's rival, Joe, shows up that there is really any connecting thread between the episodes. The main enemy isn't even hinted at until further on. [[SequelDisplacement Best known as]] the ''[[Anime/GaoGaiGar other]]'' Anime/BraveSeries entry with NobuyukiHiyama voicing the lead character.[[Characters/TheBraveExpressMightGaine Now has a character sheet in progress.]]----!!Tropes used for this series:* AlwaysInClassOne: Might and Hamada are freshmens of the same high school, and enrolled together in Class 1-A.* ArbitrarilyLargeBankAccount / MegaCorp: The Senpuuji [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concern_(business) Concern]]. * CallingYourAttacks: GAINE SHOT!

Might Kaiser and Might Gunner are 1 each. The Bombers and Divers are 4 trains each, which can combine into 2 ''larger'' trains. That's ''thirteen'' trains total, capable of combining into ''five'' larger ones. Oh, and those 5 can lock together to pull off their ultimate FinishingMove: Joint Dragon Fire. (Yes, their ultimate attack involves the opponent getting run over by ''thirteen Cool Trains.'')* CombiningMecha: Duh.* CowboyEpisode: In episode 13, Might received a case to take out bad guys located within a western theme park in The United States, which he stayed a bit longer afterwards sporting a full {{Main/Cowboy}} gear to enjoy the atmosphere. * FateDrivesUsTogether: Our commoner heroine, Sally Yoshinaga being from a low-income family technically would never have any chance to cross paths with the high-and-above all Might Senpuuji. But her courageous confrontation with an enemy one night changes the gears for her, as Might would take her to safety. Ever since that night, due to her RunningGag of switching jobs and engulfed in-between battles, Sally and Might get to know each other little-by-little during each encounter. Eventually, the two fall in love.* HumongousMecha: Great Might Gaine.* MerchandiseDriven: Infamously deconstructed by way of WriterRevolt. [[spoiler:When the writers were on the outs with the merchandisers, the protagonists discovered that their entire world was created by a malevolent alien toy company to serve as a commercial for their toys. Cue [[ScrewDestiny epic battle to control their own fates]].]] * PrimaryColorChampion: ** Might Gaine** Might's battle uniform are composed with dark, teal blue inner garments [[note]]His turtle neck shirt, and inner leggings.[[/note]] and a bright red vest. With his [[YouGottaHaveBlueHair hair color]] as a bonus.* RailroadEmployeeRoundhouse: Since the story revolves around the planet's largest ''railroad company,'' expect various employees of the Senpuuji Concern pop up for time to time.* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:After Guard Diver is destroyed, Might and Might Gaine go on one of these against Purple. [[FromBadToWorse Battle Bomber is then destroyed]]. Maito and Great Might Gaine respond by bisecting the robot that did it, then ''killing'' Purple by blowing his battleship and army into oblivion with the [[WaveMotionGun Perfect Cannon]]. This probably extends to Exeve and Black Noir as well.]]* ShoutOut: A little boy from a ridiculously wealthy family witnessed his parents' death at a young age, brought up by his butler, swears to fight to protect his city in the name of justice and revenge on whoever plotted his parents' death, and so, teamed up with his butler in using his mansion to build machines to fight against their enemies, [[Franchise/{{Batman}} does that even freaking remind you of somebody?]]** WordOfGod confirms Might's surname and the name of Might Gaine were based on the 1959-60s Japanese movie series ''Ginza Senpuuji (The Whirlwind Kid of Ginza)''.** In the episode featuring the EvilTwin, Black Might Gaine, its transformation sequence finishes off with the villain docking with it a la ''Anime/MazingerZ''.** Targeting method and working of internal mechanisms of Perfect Cannon show it to be not just a WaveMotionGun but '''The''' [[Anime/UchuuSenkanYamato Wave Motion Gun]].** The jewel thief Pink Cat has, at least once, used the alias "MarilynMonroe".** Of all things, SonicTheHedgehog makes a cameo in episode 19 as a key chain figurine.* ThemeMusicPowerUp: Whenever Might Gaine is about to commence asskicking, an instrumental version of the opening, ''Arashi no Hero'', starts up.* TransformationIsAFreeAction: One villain managed to succeed to prevent the combination of the individual Braves using the robots Raijin and Jinrai, by firing an anti-combine magnet from the base and having Raijin and Jinrai surround it to disrupt the combination. Luckily Might Gunner ended it by firing at the ship's antenna which provided the anti-combination mechanism, and the villain gets it. See Cool Train above on how the good guys payed him back.* TransformationNameAnnouncement-->'''Might Gaine:''' "Carrying hopes on silver wings, this green light glows for peace! [[TitleDrop The Brave Express Might Gaine]], arriving right on time!"* TransformingMecha: Do we really have to say it?* TrumanShowPlot* TheWorfEffect: Gaine is a pretty effective combatant in the first episode... and then after that he starts getting kicked around, having to hold out until the [[CombiningMecha Locomoriser]] shows up to form Might Gaine. The same could be said for both Guard Diver and Tri-Bomber/Battle Bomber as well. ----

This review is from: Mediasonic ProBox H21-SU3 USB 3.0 2.5" SATA HDD / SSD Hard Drive Enclosure - Support SATA III 6.0Gbps HDD & UASP
Pros: Enclosure is small, although not the smallest I have used, and simple to put together. Data transfer speeds are pretty good, much better than my USB 2.0 enclosure.
Cons: The included cable is short and not ver flexible, bad combo. The cord also does not fit tightly into the enclosure. I have bumped it a couple times causing the drive to suddenly shut off. Also the screw that holds the enclosure together is made of soft metal so be careful not to strip it.
Other Thoughts: It is hard to see in the pictures but this enclosures on-board controller is only SATA 2. This means that speeds will top out at 3Gb/s not 5Gb/s as advertised. In order to reach USB 3.0 top speeds the controller needs to be upgraded by the manufacturer to SATA 3 (6Gb/s). In reality this means absolutely nothing meaningful because actual speeds will be well below those marks and all SATA connectors are compatible. However, it is worth pointing out for those that are planning on keeping this drive for awhile or using it with SSDs (most of which are SATA 3).READ FULL REVIEW

About Michael A. Hernández, Director of Communications
Michael is the Director of Communications for Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. He is the only official spokesman for Mayor Gimenez - the County's highest-ranking elected official and top administrator - and also represents the Gimenez administration before residents and media outlets.
Since joining Miami-Dade County in May 2014, Michael has led a countywide effort to modernize and enhance the government's communications capabilities by emphasizing an expanded use of technology and social media to improve communications between County government, residents and the media. Under the County's governing structure, the mayor's communications director sets policy for the government's public information officers, under the mayor's purview, who represent its 25 departments.
Prior to his current position with Miami-Dade County, Michael worked as the Senior Director for Governmental Relations and Public Affairs at Penn Schoen Berland (PSB), a global research-based consultancy that specializes in messaging and communications strategy for blue-chip political, corporate and entertainment clients. During his four years with the firm, Michael worked throughout Latin America, the Caribbean, the Middle East and Europe on a range of projects which included political and communications campaign consulting, as well as strategic advising for heads of state and presidential candidates. Michael also served as a consultant for several leading U.S.-based companies while with the firm.
Prior to joining PSB, Michael spent four years at Balsera Communications, which is now considered a leading agency for U.S. Hispanic public affairs and political communications consulting. At this firm is where Michael first worked on Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign, supporting the efforts of the Hispanic media messaging team from the Iowa caucuses and the Democratic Party primary process, through Election Day.
Throughout the 2012 U.S. presidential election, Michael served as a surrogate for the Obama for America reelection campaign in Florida, the Democratic National Committee, and the Miami-Dade Democratic Party on both English- and Spanish-language media outlets, and as the Hispanic Communications Director for the Miami-Dade Democratic Party. Since 2009, he has participated in thousands of interviews with international, national, regional and local news outlets in English and Spanish mostly representing the Democratic Party and progressive causes.
Born and raised in the Westchester neighborhood of Miami-Dade County, Michael earned a Master's in Public Administration and Bachelor's in Political Science from Florida International University (FIU). Michael is still very active in the FIU community, serving as a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors and on the School of International and Public Affairs Advisory Board. He is a 2000 graduate of Westminster Christian School in Palmetto Bay. In addition to his volunteer community work, Michael is active in national organizations, has received numerous recognitions and is often a guest speaker in high school and college classrooms.

Send a message to Coke's CEO: Stop interfering in national park policy!
As national parks across the country take steps to go bottled-water free, Coke is attempting to halt this common sense trend. Let Coke CEO, Muhtar Kent know Coke's interference in park policy is unacceptable.
Decisions about park policy should be made transparently by park employees and the public they serve, not by a global beverage corporation behind closed doors. I stand with more than 40,000 park goers and 150 groups across the country to support the Golden Gate Recreation Area, Mount Rainier National Park and other national parks and historical sites to end bottled-water sales. And I ask you to end your interference in park policy. Let parks do what's right for the environment, taxpayers and the tap.

Something terrible happened to me when I vandalised a couple of cars.
Ideserved to be punished for what I did but the authorities went too far.
They caned me because of what I did.
I tried but I couldn'tkeep my fear hid.
When they caned me, it hurt a whole lot.
I didn't deserve the punishmentthat I got.
I learned something that I didn't know before.

What's the story?
Is it any good?
ROOFTOPPERS is a captivating read packed with tiny delights. There's an astonishing scene wherein birds are fed atop a tightrope, Charles' dismissal of bureaucrats as "mustaches with idiots attached," ice cream enjoyed in the rain on the outside box of a horse-drawn carriage -- and that's just for starters. Author Katherine Rundell celebrates eccentric, resilient people who are happy to live on the margins of respectable society. Unorthodox people, of course, have unorthodox adventures, and Sophie's is a magical journey.
Rundell's writing is lyrical and clever -- sometimes a little too clever, as the creative metaphors and similes pile up to the point of distraction. But that's just a tiny quibble with this imaginative, soaring tale.
Families can talk about...
- Families can talk about the rooftoppers' means of survival: They trespass, steal, and fight with weapons. Also, Sophie and Charles intentionally break the law. Are they justified?
- Rooftoppers, like many kids' novels, features a child searching for her parent. Can you think of other stories of abandoned children you've read or seen in movies?
Could this tale, which begins in the 1890s, take place in the modern era? How would modern technology change the story?

Sorry about the focus. Color not right on my monitor, but these stripes are somewhere between aqua and teal. Imagine my surprise when I opened the first bloom! Maiden bloom on Painted Pictures X Vienna Waltz seedling. Only
explanation I can offer for making the cross is I liked VW substance so much I put pollen from it on anything still open (blooms really late). Big thing, like PP. And, yes, much better substance than PP. (Terminal and a spur above this bloom) Blooming normally this year was, in itself, an achievement here. Heck, blooming at all was.
