As a native New Yorker and an occasional visitor to Washington, DC, I can appreciate the charms of both places. That said, I've lived in the Boston area for a long time now, and I really love it here. But at this time of year, newly admitted students still ask us about Fletcher's location.
As far as I'm concerned, the blog has put to rest all questions about whether students find the internships or post-graduation jobs that they want. And I do my best during slow news stretches to talk about our lovely neighborhood. But I can hardly expect prospective students to depend on my opinion. They will want to hear the opinions of their peers. So I turned to the Social List with a simple question: What do you like about attending graduate school in Medford/Somerville/the Boston area? The answers fell into two broad categories: related to students' academic work; and related to other aspects of their lives. Here are their answers:
Related to their academic work:
Boston is the hub of American academia! Living within such close proximity to so many students studying anything you can imagine makes for a unique social experience. Not only are there a multitude of schools within Tufts with which we regularly interact, but we are able to make friends with everybody from chemistry PhD candidates at MIT, to Harvard Law students, and everything in between. Furthermore, Fletcher students have the opportunity to cross-register for courses at Harvard and vice versa.
Boston is a student town. You are not going to find any other place that is as intellectually stimulating. On top of the amazing atmosphere at Fletcher, unique opportunities to get involved in events and conferences at Harvard, MIT, and BU, and working with professors and research groups at those universities, come up as a positive consequence of being based so close by.
I love the collaboration between different universities in the area. It increases the opportunities to find events, classes, and people interested in your field of study.
An unmatched intellectual community in the greater area, and the ability to use other schools' resources, such as libraries. Lots of networking opportunities between classmates and contacts at other schools, and ability to get involved in other groups/institutes connected to those institutions.
When speakers come to campus, the distance from Washington, DC/New York encourages candid thoughtful commentary in a way I didn't anticipate.
And the other aspects:
With easy access to the Red Line, the entire city of Boston is at your feet. That means plenty of great studying locations around the city (the Boston Public Library is a personal favorite), and an endless list of fun things to do with new Fletcher friends on the weekends. A group of us got together at the Frog Pond for an experiment in skating, something quite new for international students (and a few American students as well). We have museums, fascinating historical neighborhoods, restaurants, and shopping areas nearby if we want to take advantage of them — as a local Bostonian I certainly do — but Medford is quiet enough that you do not get lost in the hustle and bustle of a big city. That is a huge advantage when midterms and finals come around. In short, I love it here. Many of us will most likely live in larger cities later on in life, so I am happy to stay in Boston as long as I can.
I've found that most employers have been flexible about agreeing to do interviews (both informational and for specific jobs/internships) over the phone or Skype. I've done interviews with people in Canada, Mexico, New York, DC, and other locations without having to leave Boston. You just have to be flexible and creative about scheduling them. Also, after taking DC Metro pretty much every single day for the past seven years, not having to take Metro anymore is BLISS! I very much needed a break from the DC bubble, and living in Boston has been a wonderful experience.
Boston has all the benefits of a big city in a small city. The food in the area is fantastic. Lots of industries have sites in Boston, and people are friendly (don't be scared away by rumors of gruffness!). Shorter flight times to Europe. Road trips to Canada, skiing in Maine, visiting the Ben & Jerry's factory in Vermont, fresh lobster in Maine. You can easily drive to see the fall leaves. Who wouldn't want to go to Salem around Halloween? Public transportation is good. Can get to the airport on public transport in 45 minutes.
The calm environment in which to focus on studies, with the knowledge that a big city is just minutes away on the T, allowing for great nighttime and weekend fun.
There are so many events, organizations, activities, etc. if leaving campus in the direction of Somerville/Cambridge/Boston, yet it's easy to go trail running, biking, hiking, and so forth within minutes in the Medford direction.
Access to Boston, while also being in the Davis Square area (similar to the Williamsburg area of Brooklyn). There are many unique neighborhoods in this area including Inman Square, Porter Square, Harvard Square, and all of Boston!
A real campus where you can focus and study but with a real city close by.
Easy weekend getaways to New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Cape Cod, Berkshires, etc. –Convenient and relatively inexpensive airport for travel (i.e. frequent flights to DC). –Easy area to bike around. –Close to outdoors/outdoor activities.
Great neighborhood with much happening nearby! It's a suburb: living costs are comparatively very reasonable and being away from the din of the city is perfect for research/study! Boston has consistently been rated amongst the top cities in the world for students, based on quality of living, employer activity, and affordability.
Proximity to Somerville gems like Highland Kitchen, 3 Little Figs, Backbar, Sarma, and more; the Boston area's student-friendly nature (especially when it comes to café options and museum/movie/symphony discount pricing); the opportunity to live in a part of the U.S. your career may not otherwise let you experience; proximity and access to courses, speakers, and other opportunities at other Boston area schools.
I love DC, but I know it's only a matter of time before my career will take me there. Boston, on the other hand, is a wonderful, complex, historic, and culturally rich city where I've never before lived and might never get the chance to live again. Location was one of the many reasons I chose Fletcher, and I've never regretted it.
I hear a lot of chatter from admitted students that they will be kicking off an apartment hunt during their spring visit to campus. Ariel is here to help you start your search. If you have questions about local housing, please leave a comment below, and Ariel will respond!
Dear Ariel: I just submitted my confirmation that I will be attending Fletcher in the Fall! I would like to live off campus. How did you find an apartment?
Most Fletcher students live off campus in the Medford/Somerville area during their two years at Fletcher. My first step was to find my roommates, which I did through the Fletcher admitted students portal. We were all first-years — two MIBs and two MALDs. Then, because none of us were based in Boston, one of my future roommates took a trip up to Boston from DC to search for apartments. After visiting several apartments she saw listed on Craigslist, she was eventually led to a realty company. (In starting your search for an off-campus apartment, Craigslist will become your best friend.) Through the realty company we located an apartment about a 10-minute walk from Fletcher between the campus and Teele Square. Our four bedroom, one bathroom apartment is $550 per month per person, not including utilities. We signed the lease in mid-June for an August 1st start date and had to pay half of the broker's fee.
Keep in mind: Living close to Fletcher is a great option for your studies. It cuts down on your commute and can make life easier, especially when group meetings or study sessions run late into the night. Some students do live in Boston proper, but not many. Also, expect rent prices to run anywhere from $550 – $800 per month. One-bedroom apartments are typically significantly more expensive. If you have Fletcher friends who are second years, reach out to them to see if their apartments are available for the fall.
Some other things to keep in mind when looking for an apartment in this area:
- Is there a broker's fee? Some landlords will waive the fee or split the fee with you. It can save you a lot of money if your landlord agrees, because generally the broker's fee is equivalent to one month's rent.
- Is there a security deposit? Generally, you will need to pay the first month's rent and a security deposit at the time of signing.
- Does your apartment have oil or gas heat? Oil heat is extremely expensive during Boston's cold winters. If you find an apartment that has gas heat, it might be worth paying a little extra in rent each month, compared to paying a cheaper monthly rent in an apartment with oil heating.
No, this isn't a case of Admissions staff amnesia. Many admitted students, waitlisted applicants, and prospective applicants will pass through our neighborhood in the coming months, and you may be wondering just where, exactly, I am (or, more generally, Fletcher is).
Fletcher is on the Tufts University campus in Medford/Somerville. Medford and Somerville are two of the small cities ringing the bigger city of Boston, and the border separating them runs right through Fletcher. Though a lot of students live in Medford (and I have my hair cut there), I think it's fair to say that for social activities, students are oriented toward Somerville and beyond. Here's how it looks on a map:
The marker is pointed at Fletcher, and you can see all the different towns that surround us. Notice that a little map like this one can also include Logan Airport, as well as Mystic Lake (convenient for biking, swimming, etc.). So I'm not going to argue that Fletcher sits in the center of a giant metropolitan area, but I can tell you that there's a fantastic variety of easily accessed spots. You want to shop for local produce at a farm, hang out at a beach, and dine downtown in a single day. Go ahead and make your plans — it's all doable!
When people talk about Boston, they sometimes mean the city alone, but they're often referring to a broader area, which could include the inner-most neighbors or more. The population of Boston proper is just under 600,000, about 20th by size in the U.S. The population of Boston plus its nearest neighbors (including Medford and Somerville) is about a million, and "Greater Boston," stretching out a little further but still within easy commuting distance, is about 5 million. For a small city, we're rich with universities, museums, theaters, restaurants, and all the trappings of urban life. But being a small city, it's also easy to head out of town and hike, bike, and otherwise recreate.
We're often asked what it's like to be a student here. Personally, I think there's a great balance between the opportunity to focus on student life on a leafy campus and access to those urban trappings only a short subway ride away. The best of both worlds!
Continuing on the theme I started yesterday, I thought I'd provide one piece of info key to navigating the local landscape, and that is "the square." Look at Trafalgar Square in London, or Tiananmen Square in Beijing, and you'll see a space that is, at least, rectangular. Not so our local squares. Davis Square is sometimes drawn as this little guy, with two legs, two arms, and two (what?) sticks coming out of his head. Not rectangular, and certainly not square. The "squares" of Somerville or Medford (or Cambridge, for that matter) are the intersection of several streets. Closest to Tufts are Somerville's Davis, Ball, and Teele Squares, plus Medford Square in Medford.
Now you have the essential knowledge that will enable you to understand Fletcher students when they tell you where they live, or the location of their favorite restaurants.

Israel Starts Rounding Up Africans For Deportation
Israeli authorities on Sunday began a roundup of South Sudanese migrants ahead of their deportation, three days after a court ruled that their lives were no longer threatened in their homeland.
"The deportation operation is getting under way. We are starting the job," Interior minister Eli Yishai told independent television station Channel Two.
"We told the infiltrators from South Sudan to come voluntarily; whoever doesn't, with the Lord's help we shall get them all… they'll be put on a plane," he said.
The channel reported that eight South Sudanese were taken into custody on Sunday and "would be deported soon."
The Jerusalem Post quoted the immigration authority as saying that a total of 22 people were arrested on Sunday — eight South Sudanese, three Nigerians, three Ghanaians, two from Côte d'Ivoire, three Sri Lankans and three Romanians.
News of the swoop sent hundreds of African migrants onto the streets of south Tel Aviv in protest, some calling for the United Nations to intervene on their behalf, Channel Two said.
In video footage of the march they could be heard chanting: "An African is a human being."
The Post quoted a South Sudanese community worker as saying that his countrymen had expected to have more time to prepare for their departure.
Interior Ministry statistics show that approximately 60,000 African immigrants have entered Israel illegally, about 1,500 of whom are from South Sudan with which Israel has friendly relations.
Human Rights Watch on Sunday urged Israel to repeal or amend a law that allows migrants to be detained without charge for up to three years, calling it a violation of "basic rights."
"Subjecting irregular border-crossers to potential indefinite detention without charge or access to legal representation would violate the prohibition against arbitrary detention under international human rights law," the New York-based group said.
Israel announced on June 3 that officials would be able to detain migrants who crossed into the Jewish state illegally for up to three years, as part of a bid to stem the flow of African migrants into the country.
But Human Rights Watch said the law stood to stoke anger against migrants, which erupted last month when a protest by around 1,000 people against the rising number of Africans in Israel turned violent.
"Israeli officials are not only adding rhetorical fuel to the xenophobic fire, but they now have a new law that punishes refugees in violation of international law," said Human Rights Watch's refugee programme director Bill Frelick in a statement.
"The law should be amended immediately, and not enforced until necessary revisions are made."
In February, the defence ministry announced plans to build an immigrant detention centre in southern Israel at a cost projected at the time of $64 million.

Like the military uses for training.
8 Replies to "Where can I get 9mm non lethal ammunition with chalk or paint in the tip?"
Be careful, you can still hurt someone with those types of rounds.
be careful you might leave a mark on some one
very bad idea, get an airsoft or paintball instead
The problem with these for training is that it only takes one idiot mixing up his magazines to have an accidental shooting on your hands.
Even "non-lethal" ammo can be lethal sometimes. It's like "childproof" pill bottle caps. They work sometimes, but you'll always come across some dextrous toddler who can manage to get daddy's heart meds out of the bottle.
There are places that sell ammo with rubber bullets that you use as the first round that you fire in a self defense situation. This is done mostly to avoid being sued by the robber/criminal or the family and from being prosecuted for killing somebody in a non-self defense situation. You can tell the judge/jury "I warned him with a non-lethal shot and he STILL kept trying to rob/rape/murder me, I tried everything I could. This was obviously self defense".
The big problem with this kind of ammo is it tends to not cycle your semiauto because it doesn't use nearly as much powder which causes there to not be enough recoil to properly cycle the pistol. In some situations this can cause jams. If it partially cycles and pushes the next round out of place, you now have a jammed pistol in a self defense situation. It can also create the problem of needing to use both of your hands and extra time to rack the slide again before you can fire.
As for practicing on another living person, DON"T. "Non-lethal" can still be lethal or cause some serious injury. You don't want to risk shooting a friend. A projectile flying at you fairly fast is not fun, and it could possibly be the last thing you do.
My father has a box of these blue plastic 9mm training rounds,I think they are very lethal,they are very fast and penetrate deep for plastic,I would not want to get shot by one.He bought them from a gun show about 5 years ago.I think that they are Russian and I also know that the primers are corrosive.
use a paintball gun if this is for training purposes of any kind. Non-lethal can still kill.. and if it is for home defense, well don't bother with non-lethal crap. Could use more reasoning for what you are doing with it, maybe we could better help.

Looking for a source for High Pressure Laminate or similar. All the stores around me need several weeks to order it in, and require much larger orders than what I need. I only need a couple square feet or so. Even if I ended up with an 8' long section it would be fine as I am sure I could use the leftover somewhere eventually. Does anyone know of any good online resources that I may be able to order from? So far my search has come up empty.
No announcement yet.
Where to find HPL
Re: Where to find HPL
Closest one is about 90 miles away and over the phone they didn't have any better options than the ones closer to me. There is a large town about 140 miles East of me, but not really high on my list for a fun journey this time of the year. (Plus the wife will likely want to go which means more shopping and $$$$) Plus most are not open on the weekends, which means a day off work will be required.
There are several houses being built around me, but so far they are all using Corian, granite, LG or similar tops, so no scraps to be had there. If no other suggestions, I suppose I will have to break down and take a day off work and make the long journey to the "big city" and see what I can find there. Oh well, such are the pit falls of living in the boonies.Still enjoying all 10 fingers!
Re: Where to find HPL
Originally posted by LONGHAIR View PostScraps?.......what size pieces are you looking for? In smaller sizes I can get you all kinds of stuff.
I live in Columbus, could I get some scraps from you? Depending on size/material maybe we could work out a deal that's good for both of us. I moved here from Brooklyn in 2003 and since then haven't found a good source for good Baltic Birch ply
I'd like to try some HPL for building speaker cabinets.

Council 'immunizes' itself from Brown Act
NEWPORT BEACH In what looks to be a countywide first, the city has exercised new provisions of a state open-meetings law meant to empower citizen watchdogs, head off lawsuits and hold officials accountable for past violations.
Without admitting liability, the City Council voted Tuesday night to "immunize" itself from a possible lawsuit stemming from allegations of Brown Act violations by making a written pledge not to repeat the actions.
The issue cropped up after resident Jim Mosher sent two cease-and-desist letters last month with a series of allegations. Among these, he said a council member took credit for negotiating a closed-door agreement with city trash haulers. He also said officials failed to provide clear notice about matters discussed at closed-door meetings.
City Attorney Aaron Harp said there's no merit in the allegations but urged council members to approve the letter as insulation against a lawsuit. Four agreed, but Tony Petros and Ed Selich dissented.
"There's no actionable violation of the Brown Act here," Selich said. "This is just ridiculous."
The council's pledge, known as an "unconditional commitment letter," was added to state open-meeting laws in January. New provisions also allow citizens to send cease-and-desist letters to demand action without going to a district attorney.
If an agency refuses to make the pledge and the case goes to court, the onus no longer falls on the plaintiff to prove officials are repeat offenders, said Terry Francke, general counsel of the open-meeting advocacy group Californians Aware. Their refusal is sufficient proof. In that way, it gives teeth to the law by extending its reach to past actions, he said.
"It's like anything else, if you make a dumb mistake, then the first thing you want to do is say, 'I'm very sorry and that won't happen again,' " Francke said. "If on the other hand, you deliberately did what you did, you're not going to say sorry and certainly not going to promise."
Mosher said Wednesday he was disappointed by some council members' reactions at the meeting. "If they'd been following the letter of the law all along, there'd be no complaint," he said.
Harp said the commitment letter covers all but one of Mosher's allegations, which concerns Mayor Keith Curry and Councilman Michael Henn. The two sit on the three-person Finance Committee, and their concerted actions could be considered a quorum. The men co-wrote a commentary, "Outsourcing trash pickup would free money city needs," which appeared online in the Daily Pilot on Sept. 6.
Mosher called the commentary a violation of the Brown Act, saying "I can't see how they could have both written that without conferring."
The commentary, which described the trash bids and anticipated savings from outsourcing, appeared a few days before the council met publicly and ultimately voted 4-3 to privatize the service.
Harp said the Finance Committee will take up that allegation at its Oct. 15 meeting.

Reviews forWhite Chocolate Christmas Torte
My Review
Average Rating
"My sister request that I make something similar to this for her wedding cake. It is wonderful. To prevent the layers from falling (especially in humidity), refrigerate after putting on the jam so it sets. If the jam is not set the cake will slide! Also, a barrier of thicker frosting helps to keep anything from oozing out of the layers"
"Have made it for 2 Christmas open houses at the florist/gift shop I work at. Everyone loved it! It is a little more work than some cakes but is well worth it. The cake layers hold up really well as you handle them. It worked better for me to put the frosting on the layer and then the seedless jam. I had to put thin skewers through all layers as I frosted the entire cake and then took them out when done."

When my wife Heather was diagnosed with mesothelioma, I wasn't sure how to react, and now when she asks about what I went through, I can only think of it as an emotional learning experience. With this, I hope to explain more about my role as a caregiver and the way our family pulled through such a rough time.
As I sat in the doctor's office, hearing that my wife had mesothelioma, I couldn't believe it. We had just celebrated the birth of our one and only child, Lily. How could such a moment of joy be crushed so swiftly? I looked into Heather's face and felt tears begin to sting. I didn't know how we were going to get through this.
On the verge of breaking down, I sat in the office as doctors began to raise questions over our options. We had to make medical choices that would affect so many things in the future. I didn't know what were the right choices and couldn't even really think about what we should do when I was so emotional. Still, we had to make those choices, overwhelming as they were. It was the first of many times during my wife's mesothelioma treatment that I had to help make impossible decisions while facing emotional turmoil.
For a while, I was angry, and I lashed out with profanity for no particular reason. I realized that I had to stop acting this way if I was going to be a pillar of strength for my family. Heather and Lily needed me as a rock, and I couldn't let them see how scared I really was. Over time, I learned how to be the stable source of hope and optimism that my family needed.
After the diagnosis, every day was a full day of making those tough decisions. I had to learn to prioritize or I could never get everything done. Without the help of friends and family, I think that I wouldn't have finished anything on those to-do lists. I'm so grateful for the wonderful people in our lives that reached out to us in our time of need and truly made a difference.
The most difficult time for me was when I didn't see my wife or daughter at all for weeks on end. For two months, I worked and lived alone, as my wife underwent surgery in Boston, and then went to stay with her parents in South Dakota, where Lily had been during the operation. The surgery was very risky and invasive, but if successful would greatly improve my wife's mesothelioma prognosis. My wife stayed in South Dakota to recover and prepare for the next phase of her mesothelioma treatment, which included radiation and chemotherapy. I, on the other hand, had to remain behind to work and take care of our home. It was torture to be away from them for so long, but it was the right choice for my family at the time. There was no way I would have been able to provide Heather and Lily with the care they needed, while still working to support my family. Of all the tough decisions that cancer forced on us, this was by far the hardest.
The one time I got to see them, I almost didn't make it. I drove 11 hours in a snowstorm, sleeping in my car for a few hours while the plows cleared the roads, just to see them for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday before heading back to work on Monday. It was a long grueling trip for a few precious hours with them, but it was worth every second.
It was difficult not to see my family, but I never regret the decisions that were made. I learned valuable lessons throughout my experience. I learned how to control my emotions, accept help from others and take comfort in being able to make tough decisions. Today, my wife is healthy six years later and we have a beautiful family. I can only say thank you to those who helped and hope that others can pull through as well as we did.
Here is a video you can watch to learn more about how to help and raise awareness:

What I am about to share with you is what I consider to be a well kept secret in the beauty industry. I discovered it when I was venting to my hair dresser about my upcoming trip to India. It's not that no one has ever dyed blonde hair in India – I just didn't want to take the risk or spend the big bucks to find the right stylist. Plus, we were busy doing other things – oh like starting a cupcake shop.
So my stylist let me in on a little secret that of a few of her clients were already using in between blonding; base breaker. Base breaker is a great product to use because it lightens your roots and blends with existing highlights nicely (and imagine all the money you will save only having to color your hair half as often).
Now before I proceed let me note that I am not a professional hairstylist so if you want to attempt this diy hair treatment you must be prepared to accept full responsibility for the outcome. I'm sharing this because it has worked for me and it saves me a ton of time and money. My recommendation is to find a stylist who already uses base breaker in their line up and have them do a treatment for you. Then after you have a documented success, try doing it yourself at home.
So my final disclaimer is that for you will only be able to lift your roots/virgin hair one full shade lighter – so if you have naturally dark hair see my suggestion above about hitting up your stylist first. Also – this will not turn out white blonde but will likely have more of a reddish hue in it.
So having said all that below is my DIY for touching up your roots at home for around $10 (That's after you acquire a few key products for the project but they are reusable).
What You'll Need
1. Conair Wide-Tooth Lift Comb$5.99 on Amazon
2. Hair Color Bowl $2.49 on Amazon
3. 3 Piece Rubber Color Applicator Set $3.95 on Amazon
4. Joico Vero K-PAK Base Breaker $9.72 on Amazon
5. Salon Care 20 Volume Creme Developer 32 oz.$5.29 on Amazon
Now on to application
1. Brush out your hair, removing any knots
2. Protective measures aka gloves, a towel to cover your shirt &/or floor. You can also apply conditioner to the hair you are not coloring if you are worried about getting base breaker on it
3. Use your comb to divide your hair into four sections – for a great explanation of this check out the blog The Beauty Department
4. Apply Vaseline to any areas around your face/neck that might be sensitive to the base breaker solution
5. Now you are at the mixing stage – base breaker is a 1:1 solution so pour out your base breaker into your bowl & then refill the bottle with developer & add that to your bowl & mix well (you can even use a whisk if to make sure it all gets incorporated)
6. Start applying color! Begin by applying color on your part at the top of your head.
7. Create 1/4″ sections by using your comb or the end of your color applicator brush. Make sure your color in covering all of your grow out and that you are evenly covering all strands in each section – then flip them over or clip them up & out of your way
8. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.
9. Once you have covered all your roots set a timer for 10 minutes (shhh…. I leave it on for more like 30) & RELAX!
You could fold the giant pile of laundry on your bedroom floor
10. When the timer goes off hit the shower! I shampoo twice to make sure all the base breaker is out & then condition as normal.
11. Enjoy your beautiful new root-less blonde tresses (& enjoy knowing how much money you are going to save doing this in between your salon visits) – See top picture *
For my friends with dark hair I have heard of this product being used to achieve cool browns – which are perfect for summer.

GOP: Obama "Anti-Nuclear"
Barack Obama on Tuesday told reporters that his recent embrace of nuclear power is part of an effort to adopt some Republican ideas on energy, noting that he remains an "eternal optimist" about bipartisanship. But Obama's attempt to woo Republicans with nuclear power has met predictably bad reviews from the Party of No, which maintains that this is "an anti-nuclear administration." (Sarah Palin seems to like it, however.)
Pouring another $36 billion into government-backed loans "avoids the bold, no-cost solutions that would truly jumpstart nuclear power in the U.S." writes the GOP on its website. (The Republicans also describe nuclear as an "emission-free" energy source, though it's not quite clear why they care about emissions since most Republicans don't seem to think greenhouse gases are a problem.) The GOP plan also touts its "no-cost nuclear power initiative" to bring 100 new nuclear reactors online over the next 20 years, which was included in the energy bill the party released last summer. They don't manage to explain how it will be "no-cost," since the nuclear industry has made it very clear that it can't exist without government support. (See "The Nuclear Option" for more.)
"Without loan guarantees we will not build nuclear power plants," Michael J. Wallace, co-chief executive of UniStar Nuclear and vice president of Constellation Energy, told the New York Times in 2007. The nuclear industry has called for $100 billion in loan guarantees from the government. And while those are, in theory, "loans," the Congressional Budget Office projects default rates of "well above 50 percent." With the cost of reactors now estimated at over $10 billion, plans to build 100 new plants in the next two decades would require more than a trillion dollars in capital investment.
So what are the other big plans for nuclear from the Republicans? One is to "fast track" the regulatory process for new reactor applicants, in order to "cut the time needed to permit new plants by roughly 50 percent." As I noted last week, there's a huge problem here: the idea that the government has been bogging down the permitting process is misleading at best. The two leading reactor design proposals have been cited for significant safety flaws. Which makes their statement that the bill "clarifies that nothing would decrease the [Nuclear Regulatory Commission's] ability to maintain the highest public health and safety standards" also questionable.
The GOP also wants to revive the plan to dump nuclear waste in Yucca Mountain, a proposal has been dead politically for some time now, and propose raising the limit on the amount of waste that could be stored there. The GOP bill would also use government funds for nuclear waste recycling to "enter into long-term contracts with private sector entities for the recycling of spent fuel" and prohibit "future Administrations from blocking or hindering recycling spent nuclear fuel." Now, this is another misleading argument. First, the Obama administration just formed a new commission to examine options for the disposal of nuclear waste – including recycling. But as Chu told a Senate panel last week, while reprocessing is "a possibility," currently it is not "financially viable," and there are significant concerns about the nuclear proliferation.
Enacting the GOP's plan would require ignoring financial viability altogether, allowing the federal government to run roughshod over state and local concerns about storage of waste, and streamlining review processes at the cost of human health and well-being. Sounds like an energy plan that will really go somewhere!

The Master of Mount Misery
Scott Horton
"No man can put a chain about the ankle of his fellow man without at last finding the other end fastened about his own neck."- Frederick Douglass, Speech given on Oct. 22, 1883, in Washington, D.C. American literature of the nineteenth century evolved some distinct genres, and among them was the rags-to-riches tale which seems somehow a hallmark for the American character of this period. In these stories, an individual born to modest means and humble social status achieves wealth and fame through perseverance and strength of character. Apart from this genre, we also have autobiographies which seem to chart a parallel trajectory. In the period of the early republic, one series of autobiographical writings seems to tower above all the others: the life story of Frederick Douglass. It is not a rags-to-riches story in a material sense. It is an account of emancipation – Douglass' flight to freedom in the north, but more importantly, his exorcism of the spirit of slavery and entry into a world of great thoughts and causes. It is the story of a great soul. The period produced very few writings of equal power.Among the most poignant passages of Douglass' narrative is his account of brutal mistreatment at the hands of Edward Covey. Douglass was owned by a wealthy Maryland family, and he spent his childhood between their town residence in Baltimore and a farm on the Eastern Shore in St Michael's. Early in 1834, Douglass writes that he was sent to Edward Covey, the owner of a near-by property known as Mount Misery. Covey was known in the community as a "slave breaker," a trainer for high-spirited and uncooperative slaves. While on the Covey farm, Douglass performed agricultural labor from dawn to dusk. Throughout this time he and his fellow slaves were spied upon by Covey, who would leap out and begin to beat any slave who took an unpermitted rest break. Not long after he arrived, Douglass was disciplined for not tending after a team of oxen. Thereafter, he says he was whipped continuously and the cumulative effect of captivity, strenuous labor and beatings indeed began to make him feel "broken." He described how on an intensely hot summer day, he suddenly felt overwhelmed and fell to the ground, unable to continue to work. Covey was on the scene quickly, kicking and beating him – but Douglass refused to rise and resume working. He fled back to his master's farm, seeking shelter, which was denied. He prepared for the worst, but suddenly a different spirit settled upon him. "At that moment - from whence came the spirit I don't know - I resolved to fight," Douglass writes. "I seized Covey hard by the throat, and as I did so, I rose." Covey and Douglass fought for almost two hours until Covey finally gave up, telling Douglass that his beating would have been less severe had he not resisted. "The truth was," said Douglass, "that he had not whipped me at all." In later life, Douglass recounted this incident frequently, and he derived his maxim from it: "Men are whipped oftenist who are whipped easiest." Douglass dated his resolve to secure his own freedom by whatever course necessary from this point. And indeed, it was clear that Douglass was prepared to risk his life to secure it. Even for raising his hand against Covey, he could have been put to death under Maryland law at the time. It seems likely that he was saved by Covey's arrogance, and his refusal to admit publicly that a slave under his custody had stood up to him.As Douglass said, Covey thought himself a man of might and importance. He believed that his brutality, his chains and his whips gave him power over his fellow humans and importance in the world. But in the end it was clear that Covey was more enchained than the black men he held captive; morally and spiritually, he was the "broken" man, not Frederick Douglass. Two summers ago, I found myself visiting a friend on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in St Michael's. In the course of a discussion, I learned that Mount Misery has found a new master. The successor in title to Edward Covey is named Donald Rumsfeld. The two share more in common than simply being master of Mount Misery; both forged their own chains through lives marked by inhuman treatment of those they held captive.There are times when I am convinced that the muse of history is playing a game with us. This is one. Posted 6:39 PM by Scott Horton [link]

Even though Kendrick Lamar donned GQ's cover and was dubbed "The Next King of Rap," it seems that Top Dawg Entertainment's CEO, Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith wasn't too pleased with the direction writer Steve Marsh took with the GQ cover story.
TDE didn't appreciate March's portrayal of the rapper, who expressed shock at how disciplined K. Dot was in the light of his mainstream success after the release of good kid m.A.A.d city and also compared TDE to Death Row Records in the '90s.
According to the Top Dawg, the story was filled with "racial overtones [which] immediately reminded everyone of a time in hip-hop that was destroyed by violence, resulting in the loss of two of our biggest stars [Tupac and B.I.G.]." For this reason, TDE pulled Kendrick from performing at GQ's annual Man of the Year party last Tuesday.
In response to Top Dawg's thoughts, GQ Editor-in-Chief Jim Nelson, defended Marsh's "incredibly postive" portrayal of Kendrick Lamar, but still expressed his praises for the young MC:
"Kendrick Lamar is one of the most talented new musicians to arrive on the scene in years. That's the reason we chose to celebrate him, wrote an incredibly positive article declaring him the next King of Rap, and gave him our highest honor: putting him on the cover of our Men of the Year issue. I'm not sure how you can spin that into a bad thing, and I encourage anyone interested to read the story and see for themselves. We were mystified and sorely disappointed by Top Dawg's decision to pull him at the last minute from the performance he had promised to give. The real shame is that people were deprived of the joy of seeing Kendrick perform live. I'm still a huge fan."—Jim Nelson, GQ editor-in-chief

Hi everyone!
In this ible i'm going to show you how to make a Bike Seatpost Mount spending less than 5$.
Few months ago I made the Bike Handlebar/Fork Mount. It's a really good mount because it allows you to mount your action camera on the handlebar or on the bike's frame (both on rear and front fork).
But, since the seatpost it's inclined backwards (photo#4), you can't use that mount otherwise you will film just the sky.
So I made this mount, with the improvement of a tripod mount adapter, that allows you to incline the camera keeping it parallel to the floor (photo#4) and to film your rides from a different point of view.
- bike bell (used or 1$)
- Tripod Mount Adapter (1,70$)
- Universal 1/4" Mini Tripod Mount Adapter (1,80$)
- 1/4'' Screw (1,20$)
- rubber gasket from beer bottle
- dremel with cutting wheel
- caliber
- screwdriver
- marking pen

Lately I've been discussing the battle over the marriage definition with friends and parishioners. I have been amazed by a new collaboration between former political rivals in all of our urban, minority communities.
The largely white religious right is literally becoming a melting pot of diversity as far as this marriage issue is concerned. Huge numbers of blacks and Hispanics of faith are starting to feel that there is a "not so subtle" media attack on the nation's most fundamental institutions. They realize that many movies and TV sitcoms have gone out of their way to express support of so-called "gay rights."
They marveled at the number of celebrities that have jumped on the bandwagon for same-sex marriage. Two weeks ago 8, a play about Prop 8 produced by Rob Reiner, trotted out Hollywood's finest—including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, among several openly gay actors and actresses. The entertainers read selected testimonies of traditional marriage which have never been released to the public. The point of the play was simply to ridicule traditional marriage supporters and "expose the bigotry" of the traditional point of view.
All of this media attention has been coordinated and timed with legislative battles in New York, Maryland and Washington state. The 800-pound gorilla in the room is that the Supreme Court will likely rule on the constitutionality of referendums or votes on maintaining the definition of marriage. Even the though the Supreme Court should be above politics, the court will likely attempt to gauge the aggregate public opinion about same-sex marriage.
In Maryland, the home of several of my lead churches, black clergy voices were instrumental in blocking the same-sex marriage initiative last year—so much so that Lesbian, Gay, Transgendered and Bisexual (LGBT) activists lobbying in Maryland specifically targeted blacks with a celebrity-studded marketing blitz. The opposition campaign featured videos of black actors such as Michael Kenneth Williams (of television's The Wire, set in Maryland) and Baltimore native Mo'nique winking at the camera and extolling the virtues of the gay community. These PR efforts were synchronized with the strong-armed tactics of Gov. Martin O'Malley (D).
There is a huge amendment campaign going on in Maryland right now—to develop their version of proposition 8. As I have already stated, the national media campaign is now coming to roost in Maryland. Liberal talking heads project that blacks like me should identify with gay people because they are fighting the same battle for civil rights that we did. The overwhelming majority of black Americans find this argument both offensive and ridiculous.
In fact, not long ago, Jonathon Capehart (openly gay writer for The Washington Post and frequent commentator on MSNBC) received a tweet that challenged his interpretation of current events and history. The tweet read: "Still can't believe u think the choice of being gay is congruent to the struggle of blacks. Ain't never seen no gay plantations!"
Although the tweet succinctly captures how the vast majority of blacks feel about this comparison, Capehart's answers to the tweet refused to address the two main concerns expressed by the writer.
First, the simple fact is that gay Americans have never been rounded up and shackled into centuries of forced labor. They have never been branded, owned or sold with the full permission of the government. Further, in every state in the nation, gay Americans can live as they choose; what traditional marriage advocates object to is their crusade to redefine age-old institution for the rest of us.
The attempt of homosexual activists—of any race—to hijack the moral authority that black Americans won through their blood, sweat, tears and prayers is both dishonest and outrageous.
Secondly, Capehart went on to dismiss the tweet's assertion that the black experience and the gay experience in America are not comparable because the individual refers to homosexuality as a choice.
Let me explain.
First of all, I must point out that someone could theoretically believe that homosexuality is an inborn trait and still not believe that the historic suffering of gays compares to that of blacks. Human suffering is nearly impossible to quantify, but I have a feeling that the homosexual lobby would have difficulty coming up with numbers to match the estimated 8 million blacks who suffered through the Middle Passage (more than 1 million of whom are believed to have perished at sea) or the millions born into bondage in the centuries that followed.
Next, whether one defines homosexuality by the presence of same-sex attraction or the choice of same-sex partners is really a matter of semantics. Laws cannot regulate feelings; they can only regulate behavior. What Capehart really wants when he asks the rest of us to redefine marriage in the name of "equality" and "dignity" is our approval of homosexuality.
Simply put, redefining marriage to include homosexual couples forces the rest of us to say that in the eyes of the law, homosexual behavior is morally equal to heterosexual behavior. They believe this is self-evident, but not all of us agree.
The five states that will pursue constitutional amendments defining marriage as a union between one man and one woman will likely influence the fate of the institution of marriage nationally. I am praying for the family and friends of folks from these states. May you speak your worldview with passion and clarity. I also pray that you will support the cause with your dollars and volunteer service.

YouTube Adds CBS Shows, Including 'Star Trek'
NEW YORK (Reuters) - YouTube, the largest video-sharing Website, has started to run full-length TV shows from CBS Corp's archive, in its latest step to boost advertising revenue by adding professional programing.
The site, owned by Google Inc, said on Friday it was talking to other TV networks to sign similar deals to CBS. Many TV networks already run short clips on YouTube, which also offers millions of home videos uploaded by users.
A mix of archive CBS shows, including "Star Trek," "Young and the Restless" and "Beverly Hills 90210," will now be available in full-length episodes of 20 minutes to 48 minutes.
The shows will have a full-length badge to distinguish them from shorter clips, and will be available in a new 'theater' mode to improve the viewing experience, YouTube said.
Until now, YouTube videos were predominantly short clips of 10 minutes or less. The company has been experimenting with full-length shows for some months with Time Warner Inc's HBO and CBS's Showtime cable networks.
The new partnership will put YouTube in more direct competition with Hulu, the online video site owned by News Corp and General Electric's NBC Universal.
Hulu features up-to-date full-length shows from News Corp's Fox networks, NBC and CBS. It also has a YouTube channel which features short-clip versions of its shows.
YouTube's audience size dwarfs Hulu. YouTube is the world's largest online video site with more than 330 million users in August, according to Web audience measurement firm comScore. Hulu by comparison had just 3.3 million users.
But even with more than 13 hours of video uploaded every minute, YouTube has struggled to establish a strong advertising business model to justify the $1.65 billion price tag that Google paid for the site in 2006.
Advertisers have been reluctant to commit major marketing dollars to running brand campaigns alongside grainy, unprofessional home videos.
This is partly why YouTube executives have been working on deals to extend their relationship with media companies. Google and Youtube are also fighting a $1 billion copyright infringement lawsuit from Viacom Inc over content uploaded to the site without Viacom's permission.
YouTube executives said CBS would sell the advertisements around the shows. Both companies will share advertising revenue, but financial terms of the relationship were not disclosed. CBS could not immediately be reached for comment.
"It's all about advertisers maximizing their reach and using the most effective ad format for where the user might be situated," Shiva Rajaraman, a senior product manager for YouTube, said in an interview.
Google investors and Wall Street analysts have raised concerns about when YouTube will start to make a meaningful contribution to the search advertising leader's bottom line.
Analysts at Piper Jaffray estimated that YouTube would earn around $200 million in revenue next year, compared with Google's expected revenue of around $27 billion.
YouTube said on Tuesday it would start to sell music and video games in its first step into online shopping.

Wenning rushes for two scores at Ball State's spring game
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State wrapped up its spring football practices with its annual spring game scrimmage at Scheumann Stadium on Saturday.
Ball State football fans were able to take advantage of good weather and see the new-look Cardinals under first-year head coach Pete Lembo.
For sophomore quarterback and Coldwater High School graduate Keith Wenning, it was a chance to try and reclaim the starting spot he earned last season.
Lembo, who produced winning teams at Lehigh and Elon before being hired in Muncie during the offseason, installed a new offensive scheme with multiple formations, and opened a competition for the the starting quarterback spot between Wenning and Kelly Page, who started the first two games last season.
The winner may not have been decided on Saturday after the red-clad offense beat the white-clad defense 51-38, but Wenning certainly showed he wanted to keep the starting job that he earned the last 10 games of 2010.
One noticeable change for Wenning was his improved mobility. Last season, Wenning rushed for a negative three yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries but the former Cavaliers' star had success rushing the ball on Saturday.
Both of Ball State's scoring plays during Wenning's time on the field came via runs by the QB. Wenning scored on runs of eight and three yards and added several runs that turned into first downs, which counted as a point each in the scoring system used during the scrimmage. Several of Wenning's runs were stopped when he was touched by a defensive player since the quarterbacks were wearing blue "no-tackle" jerseys.
"This winter, it was one of my goals to drop my weight and (improve) my agility," said Wenning. "Over the offseason I lost 25 pounds, actually. I could tell, with my speed and quickness, it helped out a lot."
Wenning and Page both had some solid passing efforts as well. Page connected with former Crestview standout Briggs Orsbon on a 41-yard score, and Wenning hit Orsbon for a 49-yard pass that set up one of Wenning's TD runs.
Wenning seemed comfortable in the new offensive set, which had him both under center and in a shotgun, a spot he was comfortable with during his years at Coldwater working the Cav-Gun offense.
"It is similar to (Coldwater's) offense, but there's still a lot of things I need to learn and get better with," said Wenning. "Just the procedure and that kind of stuff I've got to get comfortable with and run the offense better.
"Just like anything else, it takes a little while to pick it up at first. Reading the defense, that was the big change."
Lembo did not commit to who would be the starting quarterback come Sept. 3 when the Cardinals face Indiana at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, but had praise for both Wenning and Page during his post-game comments.
"Both the quarterbacks did some good things and they both struggled at times," Lembo said. "We are not operating as fast as I would like to yet. It is up to them to get us moving a little bit faster. We were a little bit inconsistent at times, but they are both terrific kids and I feel really good that they are going to continue to work hard at getting better."
Wenning is happy to compete with Page for the job.
"Me and Kelly are good friends. We love competing against each other," said Wenning. "But we're not going to stop helping each other. We still help each other day in and day out."
Wenning knows that all he can do is work hard to reclaim the starting job he had at the end of last season.
"I believe in my ability," said Wenning. "Whoever the coaches decide, it's their decision. I'm confident if they pick me, I can do it."

Will 1.8t chips work for my head swap
...This is a much, much harder swap than you'd think. If you have an AEG, just boost it with a C2 or kinetics kit.
Depends whether you are boosted or NA.
Tradition is the art of making the same mistake repeatedly, on purpose.
i ran a BT 1.8t tune on my 8vT just fine. You dont need to swap heads to run the tune. just swap in the harness and rewire the coil pack drivers. Takes about an hour.
so your saying u ran a 1.8t Chipped ecu on a 2.0 8v..just by splicing some wires on the harness
Yeah i have talked to him about this process... get yourself a 1.8t ecu and engine side harness, then grab a haines manual and rewire it to power the single coilpack that a 2.0 has instead of the 4 that the 1.8t has. Also need to incoporate a MAP sensor, but then you can run any 1.8t tune on your 2.0tso your saying u ran a 1.8t Chipped ecu on a 2.0 8v..just by splicing some wires on the harness
Sent from my VS840 4G using Tapatalk 2
so your saying u can run a 1.8t chip like lets say a Unitronic stage 2 chip on ur 2.0 8v a chip that basically gives u 50 hp
idk whats better a whole 1.8t swap......head swap......or turbo the 2.0 8v
my friend sellin a motor cheap to me with harness and ecu. all i really need for my mk4 jetta is Keys ignition lock and harness engine ecu cluster
also i just read the rest of this thread....you completely got confused.
I'm saying run a 1.8t ecu to run a 8vT setup. You're saying run a 1.8t ecu to make turbo power
i have a t3/t4 turbo a 1.8t smic and other parts to my build maybe make a short runner who knows...soo about the ecu situation.. explain it step by step please
Unless you are trying to make huge power, and want to swap harness's and ecu's... i would just run a 2.0 turbo tune. You will be able to make just below 300hp on one of these tunes with a set of 440cc injectors. I'll pm you more info if you need it

Nice save me a lot of money. Basically a 2.0L 8V is a 1.8T without a turbo and 20V head right. The question is will it be able to keep up with a 1.8T? If I were to get something like a unitronic BT 600cc flash will it still be able to withstand all that power? Or will u just have to swap the whole thing into a 1.8T.

It looks as if Google Reader users will have another reason to use the feed reader over its rivals.
Google Reader has launched a feature that allows users to not only share their favorite items with friends, but also attach a mini note to the item as well.
(Google Reader Blog) If you are like me, you might want to share something in Reader, but think your friends might not "get" why you are sharing it. Use the "Share with note" button on the item toolbar to create a copy of that item with your own note attached to it.
While this feature will definitely appeal to Google fan boys/girls/bloggers of all types, what is interesting is that Google Reader users will also be able to share notes without the need to share an item at all–which may be a signal that Google Reader is heading directly into FriendFeed's territory.

Adolescents who don't get enough sleep may gain more than some extra time to play video games or text their friends. They also may gain weight, according to research being presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies (PAS) annual meeting in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
Other studies have shown a relationship between sleep and weight issues, particularly in young children. However, this is one of the first studies to document an association between sleep duration and weight in adolescents, even after controlling for calorie intake, activity level and depressive symptoms.
In research led by Leslie A. Lytle, PhD, from the Center for Child Health, Behavior and Development at Seattle Children's Research Institute, study investigators collected data on 723 adolescents (mean age 14.7 years) about how long they slept on weeknights and weekends, and how frequently they experienced sleep problems. On three separate occasions, researchers also asked the youths about the foods and beverages they had consumed the prior day to determine how many calories they consumed.
To measure activity, participants wore accelerometers on their belts for seven days. Unlike pedometers, which count the number steps walked, these highly specialized devices measure movement on three different planes. In addition, the wearer cannot see any data on how active they are.
"The use of accelerometers and 24-hour (dietary) recalls was unique in the study of sleep and weight in youth and is a real strength of the study," Dr. Lytle said.
Researchers also measured participants' weight, body mass index (BMI) and percentage of body fat.
Results showed that shorter sleep duration was related to higher BMI. The relationship was especially strong for boys and for middle school students compared to those in high school. In girls, only less sleep on weekends was related to higher BMI.
"Sleep has long been recognized as an important health behavior," Dr. Lytle said. "We are just beginning to recognize its relationship to overweight and obesity in children and adults alike."

villagers; dwellers in the open country, the Canaanitish nation inhabiting the fertile regions south and south-west of Carmel. "They were the graziers, farmers, and peasants of the time." They were to be driven out of the land by the descendants of Abraham (Gen. 15:20; Ex. 3:8, 17; 23:23; 33:2; 34:11). They are afterwards named among the conquered tribes (Josh. 24:11). Still lingering in the land, however, they were reduced to servitude by Solomon (1 Kings 9:20).
The peasantry or fellahin are the perizzites of the Hebrew Scriptures.
The perizzites, also, inhabited Palestine for a long period after the conquest.
They are thus synonymous with the perizzites, who take their place in Gen. xv.
The perizzites, "villagers" are always named in connection with the Canaanites.
Intermarriages made their position safer, and they intermarried with Amorites, Hivites, perizzites.

So my apologies for late responses.My name is Lo Marie, I also have a modeling account on here as well, LoMarie #1367432. I have always loved doing crazy stuff with my hair and makeup, which is what has driven me to go to school for Cosmetology. I have not started schooling for it yet, but I plan to be moving next fall to continue my dreams of doing high fasion hair and makeup, as well as special effects makeup. I am new to this, that is, doing makeup for others. I have always done makeup on myself. My eyes are different from others so I created my own style. I want to learn how others facial stuctures are so that I can begin to do more with my art. If you would like to just experiment with someone who has little to no experience doing makeup on others, then I am ready for any challenge that is thrown my way. I am ready to learn! I would love to work with other makeup artist as well, to teach me and show me techniques. The smallest bit of guidance helps a lot! Thanks so much! ~LoMarie CreditsHave you worked with Lo M Art?

Rabies in Texas is an ongoing state health emergency. Therefore, according to the Rabies Control and Eradication Administrative Code*, it is illegal for a person to transport certain animals that are high risk for transmitting rabies, including any live species of fox, skunk, coyote, or raccoon indigenous or naturalized to North America. A violation of this law is a Class C misdemeanor. The following individuals are exempt from this restriction and can transport animals included in the statewide rabies quarantine only when such transport is part of their official duty:
If an exempt individual transports such animals for release, the animals must be released within a ten-mile radius or within ten miles of the city limits of where they were originally captured and the release must be within the county in which they were originally captured.
For additional information on the statewide rabies quarantine, contact your local Zoonosis Control office.
