With continued heavy military involvement in operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Department of Defense (DOD) is spending billions of dollars sustaining or replacing its inventory of key equipment items while also planning to spend billions of dollars to develop and procure new systems to transform the department's warfighting capabilities. GAO developed a red, yellow, green assessment framework to (1) assess the condition of 30 selected equipment items from across the four military services, and (2) determine the extent to which DOD has identified near- and long-term program strategies and funding plans to ensure that these items can meet defense requirements. GAO selected these items based on input from the military services, congressional committees, and our prior work. These 30 equipment items included 18 items that were first assessed in GAO's 2003 report.
While the fleet-wide condition of the 30 equipment items GAO selected for review varied, GAO's analysis showed that reported readiness rates declined between fiscal years 1999 and 2004 for most of these items. The decline in readiness, which occurred more markedly in fiscal years 2003 and 2004, generally resulted from (1) the continued high use of equipment to support current operations and (2) maintenance issues caused by the advancing ages and complexity of the systems. Key equipment items--such as Army and Marine Corps trucks, combat vehicles, and rotary wing aircraft--have been used well beyond normal peacetime use during deployments in support of operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. DOD is currently performing its Quadrennial Defense Review, which will examine defense programs and policies for meeting future requirements. Until the department completes this review and ensures that condition issues for key equipment are addressed, DOD risks a continued decline in readiness trends, which could threaten its ability to continue meeting mission requirements. The military services have not fully identified near- and long-term program strategies and funding plans to ensure that all of the 30 selected equipment items can meet defense requirements. GAO found that, in some cases, the services' near-term program strategies have gaps in that they do not address capability shortfalls, funding is not included in DOD's 2006 budget request, or there are supply and maintenance issues that may affect near-term readiness. Additionally, the long-term program strategies and funding plans are incomplete for some of the equipment items GAO reviewed in that future requirements are not identified, studies are not completed, funding for maintenance and upgrades was limited, or replacement systems were delayed or not yet identified. Title 10 U.S.C. 2437 requires the military services to develop sustainment plans for equipment items when their replacement programs begin development, unless they will reach initial operating capability before October 2008. However, most of the systems that GAO assessed as red had issues severe enough to warrant immediate attention because of long-term strategy and funding issues, and were not covered by this law. As a result, DOD is not required to report sustainment plans for these critical items. For the next several years, funding to sustain or modernize aging equipment will have to compete with other DOD priorities, such as current operations, force structure changes, and replacement system acquisitions. Without developing complete sustainment and modernization plans and identifying funding needs for all priority equipment items, DOD may be unable to meet future requirements for defense capabilities. Furthermore, until DOD develops these plans, Congress will be unable to ensure that DOD's budget decisions address deficiencies related to key military equipment.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department of Defense believes that through the current Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) processes, the Department is already executing an annual procedure to reassess program strategies to ensure equipment sustainment and modernization can support the most recent Defense strategy. The PPBE process ensures that, at the corporate DOD level, the FYDP developed each year balances operational, recapitalization/modernization, maintenance, manning, and facilities requirements in order to accomplish the national defense mission. The review for the FY 2007 President's Budget is already taking place, and does not require completion of the QDR in order to reassess equipment sustainment and modernization plans. Reviews consider strategies and costs to sustain and modernize equipment, and the risks incurred by not fully funding those strategies. The resulting President's Budget reflects the Department's best assessment of a balanced, fully funded budget that most efficiently accomplishes our national security mission, within our limited resources. The Department intends to take no further actions regarding this recommendation.
Recommendation: To ensure that DOD can sustain key equipment items to meet future equipment requirements and to provide greater visibility over key equipment items to Congress, the Secretary of Defense, after the department completes its Quadrennial Defense Review, should, in consultation with the Secretaries of the Military Services, reassess the near- and long-term program strategies for sustaining and modernizing key equipment, particularly those items not covered by 10 U.S.C. 2437, to ensure that the plans are complete and that the items are sustainable until they reach the end of their serviceable life or a replacement system is fielded. Specifically, this reassessment should: (1) detail the strategies to sustain and modernize key equipment systems until they are retired or replaced; (2) report the costs associated with the sustainment and modernization of key equipment and identify these funds in the Future Years Defense Program; and (3) identify the risks involved in delaying or not fully funding the strategies, and the steps the department is taking to mitigate the associated risks, for those strategies that are delayed or are not fully funded.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Not Implemented
Comments: The Department of Defense believes that the annual Defense Budget represents a balanced program, within the resources available, as a result of the process described in the DOD response to Recommendation 1. The strategies to sustain and modernize key equipment systems, and the costs associated with the sustainment and modernization are already provided in the budget documentation submitted with each year's President's Budget. The draft recommendation would also require the Department to identify the risks involved in delaying or not fully funding the strategies. When the Department submits the President's Budget, the overall strategy for accomplishing the national defense mission is fully funded. The risks associated with alternative resource allocations for specific equipment systems have been fully considered. Allocating additional resources to equipment programs may require diversion of resources from other functional areas, such as personnel, construction, or research and development. The overall balance of the Defense program, within limited resources, is our foremost concern. Each year's President's Budget attempts to reflect this balance and our budget documentation details the strategies and costs. Therefore, all key equipment items will be fully funded, within available resources, at appropriate levels to accomplish our mission. Submitting an additional report concurrent with the annual budget would be a duplication of effort. The Department plans to take no further actions regarding this recommendation.
Recommendation: To ensure that DOD can sustain key equipment items to meet future equipment requirements and to provide greater visibility over key equipment items to Congress, the Secretary of Defense, after the department completes its Quadrennial Defense Review, should, in consultation with the Secretaries of the Military Services, provide the information in the above recommendation to Congress at the same time the department submits its annual budget request, to ensure that Congress has the visibility it needs to provide effective oversight over DOD's program strategies.

I am no longer, as of October 2008 working as a class teacher at Sandaig, so have moved this blog to another server. If you want to comment on this post, pleas search for it there.
I too worry about the time spent. As a teacher of 28 P7s I can find it difficult to manage. For making podcasts etc I usually have to set the group to work unsupervised in a small area next to the class. Depending on group dynamics, this can be very successful or sometimes very little is achieved as they have argued. It's having the courage I suppose and sometimes I am more courageous than others. Some children will post very quickly and others take so long that sometimes we have to abandon it. I too would be interested to hear about other teachers' experiences.
Shirley (Email) (URL) - 17 02 07 - 23:49
One way that I have found quite successful when you need to get a post up really quick, is to get a number of students working on the same post. They each have a couple of things to say, can share the typing and ideas can bounce around and get acted on.
It doesnt solve the problem of the students who take that little bit too long to post though (or the ones that lose everything they've typed quite regularly!)
Looking forward to some more ideas :)

Hi John,
I have to say, blogging amongst my pupils hasn't properly taken off yet. One of the biggest issues that the pupils have yet to overcome is for them to develop a belief in themselves, that what they have to say, is worthwhile and interesting for someone else to read. Sometimes I feel that they need to have more confidence in their own abilities before they feel confident to share their thoughts, work and ideas with others. They are making progress however and I'm naturally being encouraging.
In relation to the question posed… when my pupils have blogged, yes it has taken them a considerable amount of time – but no longer than it would take for them to write some prose in Literacy, or a Science experiment. The difference with blogging compared to any other writing, is that few blogging tools allow the user to save their work in progress. Written work in books preserves your work as you write, a Word Processing package has the ability to save your work as you develop your writing. When writing within a web browser textbox, as I am now, I know that I have to finish this writing now… I can't go back to it and add more, I could chance leaving the browser open – but it's high risk. I can't help but feel that part of the answer to yours and other's situations, is through having better software tools for blogging. Some tools do allow you to 'save as draft' – Drupal does for instance. I'm not aware of any WYSIWYG tools that saves posts – you may have this already.
I'm surprised that web browser tools are so hopeless at coping with saving work that we've done. How many times have you accidentally closed a window with about 10, or even 5 mins work in a textbox? How many times has your browser crashed and you've lost the lot? How many times does a form not submit, but there is no way of saving the data or transferring it into another browser? From my own experience, heaps of times. The software has to get better at dealing with these situations.
I think we also need to recognise that great blog articles is a composition of text, images, video, animations etc, and as with anything we are publishing to a wide audience, it takes time to get it right and be satisfied with the result. I know my own blog articles can take several minutes to write, perfect, edit and publish.
Are our expectations different of pupils when blogging compared to writing in any other medium?

Hi Folks, thanks for the comments.
Shirley, I've had the same mixed results with unsupervised children, on one occasion when using a dv camera they were dancing all in front of it, they seemed surprised that I found out!
I guess Kim's guys might lose things because of the limitations of blogging software that Jonathan point out.
you might like ecto or other MetaWebLog apps Jonathan. I often blog with textMate so that I can save and take a few hours or even days to put a post together. I often get my class to type up there posts in word for this reason. We can't load any blogging software onto the networked pcs at school, this may change and I might try LiveWriter or the likes.
The point about the time other writing tasks take is taken, it would take just as long to get children to be habitual writes in jotters and not nearly as motivation.
It maybe an idea to collect a variety of blogging methods from the point of view of classroom organisation somewhere, that is the bit I find hardest and it is least covered in the blogosphere.
John (Email) (URL) - 18 02 07 - 22:25
I think this would be a good idea. I suppose that, because this is such a new area, it is a case of trying various methods out but it would be really helpful, particularly for teachers new to blogging, to read about others' successes (or failures!)
Shirley (Email) (URL) - 19 02 07 - 21:22
I've started a page on Classroom Organisation on Tom Barrett's classroomblogging wiki. Hopefully we can get some ideas from there. Please add your favourite methods.

FWIW, WordPress offers Save and Publish while you're working on a new post. Save keeps your work as a draft, but doesn't publish it to the web. Next time you go to Write Post, any existing saved Drafts are listed by title in a very visible way at the top of the screen. And if you've not got round to giving them titles, they're still there, just identified by numeric IDs instead.
David Gilmour (Email) (URL) - 21 02 07 - 23:49
I don't think it is quite that bad here, we get a fair amount published. I do get the children to write in word first, more for spelling than saving. Pivot which we use here lets you put a post on hold and come back to it (Not quite the same as wordpress David). As I mentioned above, If could install software on machines here (soon I hope) I'd try some of the desktop blogging apps to see how they compare.
Paul where do your children blog? you link is broken here.
John (Email) (URL) - 22 02 07 - 07:01
Hi John
Marlyn and I got the children to write their blog posts or comments in Appleworks ( or Word for the PC users) and then copy and paste into the posts when ready. Would this help solve saving and time issues in some way.

Veterinary medicine
Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of disease, disorder and injury in non-human animals. The scope of veterinary medicine is wide, covering all animal species, both domesticated and wild, with a wide range of conditions which can affect different species.
Veterinary medicine is widely practiced, both with and without professional supervision. Professional care is most often led by a veterinary physician (also known as a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian), but also by paraveterinary workers such as veterinary nurses or technicians. This can be augmented by other paraprofessionals with specific specialisms such as animal physiotherapy or dentistry, and species relevant roles such as farriers.
Veterinary science helps human health through the monitoring and control of zoonotic disease (infectious disease transmitted from non-human animals to humans), food safety, and indirectly through human applications from basic medical research. They also help to maintain food supply through livestock health monitoring and treatment, and mental health by keeping pets healthy and long living. Veterinary scientists often collaborate with epidemiologists, and other health or natural scientists depending on type of work. Ethically, veterinarians are usually obliged to look after animal welfare.
Premodern era[edit]
The Egyptian Papyrus of Kahun (1900 BCE) and Vedic literature in ancient India offer one of the first written records of veterinary medicine.[1] (See also Shalihotra) ( Buddhism) First Buddhist Emperor of India edicts of Asoka reads: "Everywhere King Piyadasi (Asoka) made two kinds of medicine (चिकित्सा) available, medicine for people and medicine for animals. Where there were no healing herbs for people and animals, he ordered that they be bought and planted."[2]
The first attempts to organize and regulate the practice of treating animals tended to focus on horses because of their economic significance. In the Middle Ages from around 475 CE, farriers combined their work in horseshoeing with the more general task of "horse doctoring". In 1356, the Lord Mayor of London, concerned at the poor standard of care given to horses in the city, requested that all farriers operating within a seven-mile radius of the City of London form a "fellowship" to regulate and improve their practices. This ultimately led to the establishment of the Worshipful Company of Farriers in 1674.[3]
Meanwhile, Carlo Ruini's book Anatomia del Cavallo, (Anatomy of the Horse) was published in 1598. It was the first comprehensive treatise on the anatomy of a non-human species.[4]
Establishment of profession[edit]
The first veterinary college was founded in Lyon, France in 1762 by Claude Bourgelat.[5] According to Lupton, after observing the devastation being caused by cattle plague to the French herds, Bourgelat devoted his time to seeking out a remedy. This resulted in his founding a veterinary college in Lyon in 1761, from which establishment he dispatched students to combat the disease; in a short time, the plague was stayed and the health of stock restored, through the assistance rendered to agriculture by veterinary science and art."[6]
The Odiham Agricultural Society was founded in 1783 in England to promote agriculture and industry,[7] and played an important role in the foundation of the veterinary profession in Britain. A founding member, Thomas Burgess, began to take up the cause of animal welfare and campaign for the more humane treatment of sick animals.[8] A 1785 Society meeting resolved to "promote the study of Farriery upon rational scientific principles."
The physician James Clark wrote a treatise entitled Prevention of Disease in which he argued for the professionalization of the veterinary trade, and the establishment of veterinary colleges. This was finally achieved in 1790, through the campaigning of Granville Penn, who persuaded the Frenchman, Benoit Vial de St. Bel to accept the professorship of the newly established Veterinary College in London.[7] The Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons was established by royal charter in 1844. Veterinary science came of age in the late 19th century, with notable contributions from Sir John McFadyean, credited by many as having been the founder of modern Veterinary research.[9]
In the United States, the first schools were established in the early 19th century in Boston, New York and Philadelphia. In 1879, Iowa Agricultural College became the first land grant college to establish a school of veterinary medicine.[10]
Veterinary workers[edit]
Veterinary physicians[edit]
Veterinary care and management is usually led by a veterinary physician (usually called a vet, veterinary surgeon or veterinarian). This role is the equivalent of a doctor in human medicine, and usually involves post-graduate study and qualification.
In many countries, the local nomenclature for a vet is a protected term, meaning that people without the prerequisite qualifications and/or registration are not able to use the title, and in many cases, the activities that may be undertaken by a vet (such as animal treatment or surgery) are restricted only to those people who are registered as vet. For instance, in the United Kingdom, as in other jurisdictions, animal treatment may only be performed by registered vets (with a few designated exceptions, such as paraveterinary workers), and it is illegal for any person who is not registered to call themselves a vet or perform any treatment.
Most vets work in clinical settings, treating animals directly. These vets may be involved in a general practice, treating animals of all types; may be specialized in a specific group of animals such as companion animals, livestock, laboratory animals, zoo animals or horses; or may specialize in a narrow medical discipline such as surgery, dermatology, laboratory animal medicine, or internal medicine.
As with healthcare professionals, vets face ethical decisions about the care of their patients. Current debates within the profession include the ethics of purely cosmetic procedures on animals, such as declawing of cats, docking of tails, cropping of ears and debarking on dogs.
Paraveterinary workers[edit]
Paraveterinary workers, including veterinary nurses, technicians and assistants, either assist vets in their work, or may work within their own scope of practice, depending on skills and qualifications, including in some cases, performing minor surgery.
The role of paraveterinary workers is less homogeneous globally than that of a vet, and qualification levels, and the associated skill mix, vary widely.
Allied professions[edit]
A number of professions exist within the scope of veterinary medicine, but which may not necessarily be performed by vets or veterinary nurses. This includes those performing roles which are also found in human medicine, such as practitioners dealing with musculoskeletal disorders, including osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists.
There are also roles which are specific to animals, but which have parallels in human society, such as animal grooming and animal massage.
Some roles are specific to a species or group of animals, such as farriers, who are involved in the shoeing of horses, and in many cases have a major role to play in ensuring the medical fitness of the horse.
Veterinary research[edit]
Veterinary research includes research on prevention, control, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases of animals and on the basic biology, welfare, and care of animals. Veterinary research transcends species boundaries and includes the study of spontaneously occurring and experimentally induced models of both human and animal disease and research at human-animal interfaces, such as food safety, wildlife and ecosystem health, zoonotic diseases, and public policy.[11]
Clinical veterinary research[edit]
As in medicine, randomized controlled trials are fundamental also in veterinary medicine to establish the effectiveness of a treatment.[12] However, clinical veterinary research is far behind human medical research, with fewer randomized controlled trials, that have a lower quality and that are mostly focused on research animals.[13] Possible improvement consists in creation of network for inclusion of private veterinary practices in randomized controlled trials.

Lighting 0 HeadlightsThe Headlight series, by Stephen Shaheen, are hand-sculpted from recycled paper, cotton, and denim. Shaheen creates armatures based on human proportions, positions the gestures and carefully models the bodies in a long and multi-step process. Rather than sculptural illuminations, Shaheen see these as illuminated sculptures, and each piece is unique. He asserts, "The underlying concept distilled from all of these is the notion of 'connection.'"

Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner is releasing a memoir -- and in it she spills sad details about the murder of her friend Nicole Brown Simpson and how she thinks she could have stopped the tragedy that fateful night.
In her upcoming book Kris Jenner… And All Things Kardashian the mom of six writes that Brown Simpson called her on the night of the murders and asked her to come over, saying she had "something really, really important" to discuss.
Jenner says she had to beg off, but promised to come by the next day.
By that time, it was too late. Jenner awoke to the news that Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman had been murdered in cold blood the night before -- and Jenner "instinctively knew that in some way O.J. [Simpson] had something to do with her death."
"I truly couldn't believe she had been so betrayed by the person who she had once loved most. That O.J. would be so destructive and selfish and jealous that he would do that to her was just mind-blowing to me. All these thoughts were running through my mind. This can't be true," Jenner writes.
The events drove a wedge between Jenner and her ex, Kim Kardashian's dad Robert Kardashian. What had been a friendly divorce turned acrimonious when Kardashian joined Simpson's legal defense "dream team."
What did Brown Simpson want to talk with her about? Turns out she had been collecting proof of the abuse she suffered at the hands of the football legend, and she was turning to Jenner for help.
"Nicole had been beaten up by O.J. and she had been keeping this in physical proof in the form of photographs and, it would, turn out, other evidence, in which she had documented 17 years of abuse," she writes.
O.J. Simpson was controversially acquitted of the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, although many remain convinced of his guilt. He was found responsible for the deaths in a civil suit. The former football star is currently in prison on kidnapping charges.
Jenner's memoir goes on sale Tuesday.

Toronto — Doing deals in growth markets is an important way in which companies in developed countries can seek to drive growth as their traditional markets remain stagnated. But these deals can be both fraught with risk and costly when they go wrong. PwC has analyzed 200 such deals to identify the root causes of the problems and suggests a number of measures corporates should take to manage the risk and boost their chances of a successful deal.
The report Getting on the Right Side of the Delta: A Deal-maker's Guide to Growth Economies http://www.pwc.com/ca/EMDeals flags the scale of the problem: in 2011, the value of deals from companies in Western Europe and the US into growth markets was significant; but more than half the deals that entered external due diligence didn't complete; and of those deals that did complete but later ran into problems, the average cost to the buyer was around 50% of the deal value.
In addition, the failure rate of deals entering external due diligence is higher than in developed counties. This adds additional cost in tangible terms (i.e. cost of diligence) and intangibly (e.g. investor confidence). The common barriers to deal completion are the inability to get comfortable with local market valuations, government interference, the lack of transparent financial information and non-compliant business practices.
Once the deal is completed, by far the biggest problem is reconciling differences arising out of partnering, plus there is also a risk of a range of operational issues that make it hard to integrate and take charge of an asset.
Kristian Knibutat, PwC's Canadian Deals leader, said: "Too many businesses are still failing to avoid the common pitfalls and apply the lessons learned from aborted or failed deals. Doing deals in growth markets is a tough business – not least the challenge of modelling future growth potential in developing markets. Having people on the ground and good local knowledge, well in advance of responding to the first opportunity is vital, as is building the strategic rationale early for investment in the country and industry. This should provide the foundation for every deal in a growth market."
"We expect the volume and value of deals in growth markets to increase this year, and for companies to continue to look further afield for new deal opportunities. There is a wide range of growth economies to choose from. The BRICs are obvious choices but others such as Nigeria, Indonesia and Mexico hold considerable potential. It is critical to prioritize among growth markets in order to focus scarce deal resources."
The difference or 'delta' between a good deal and a bad one is that much greater in growth markets. But this difference need not be as big as it currently is. PwC believes that companies that take the right steps can reduce risk on deals in growth markets, and increase their chances of delivering long term value.
The report says that aligning interests with local partners is also key, while structuring solutions such as deferred consideration or options for further investment can reduce initial investment risk. Corporates should be prepared for higher than anticipated valuations to reflect the significant growth potential in these new markets, and to accept that due diligence may be less than perfect. It is important to understand what is manageable in the process and what constitutes a deal breaker.
"How a company assesses opportunities in growth economies will be influenced from the outset by its size and risk appetite," says Knibutat. "There are a number of difficult choices about how to approach deals in growth economies – such as how much weight to give to the long-term strategic option value of a deal. These choices largely reflect trade-offs between risk and reward, and do not have obvious answers; rather they reflect preferences specific to companies' cultures and strategies."
Survey Methodology
Getting on the Right Side of the Delta: A Deal-maker's Guide to Growth Economies draws on the assessment of over 200 deals – both publicly announced and a broader set of private deals that PwC has advised on. We have identified the most common problems that occur, and examined the issues, including cost, associated with the biggest problems. We also interviewed 20 senior deal-makers at multinational companies who have bought businesses in growth markets, to understand how they overcame the challenges encountered. The interviewees represent global businesses across a number of industries and home countries; on average, 27% of their revenues come from growth economies. This study is independent, and has not been commissioned by any government, business or other institution. You can find a copy of the report here: http://www.pwc.com/ca/EMDeals

Imagine what would happen if all roads were owned by private companies. Would we ever seen an end to toll roads? Doubt it.
Some things, especially utilities, simply work better when public owned. Electric, water and yes, even telephone. And internet access isn't too far removed from a telephone utility.
Because the road system in the US is completely fantastic? I hope it's different elsewhere than what I'm used to (Southern California) if that's so... because most roads are littered with potholes, and traffic is pretty awful most of the time.

How much different is the user experience on windows different from the user experience on OS X? From my own experience, not very much. Heck, most of the times I've been on macs, they have crashed a hell of a lot more, responded more slowly, etc.
Most of my friends running macs have asked me questions about how to do something, or about problems they've had. Opposite with my friends running Windows (yes, even Vista). It does what they need it to do, they can figure out stuff they don't know (very easily), and it causes very few problems for them.

Personally, I think if 88% of the people you study are "religious" you're a hell of a lot more likely to find that "religious" people cling to intensive life-prolonging care than "non-religious" people.

History and location of Rössing
Uranium was discovered in the Namib Desert in 1928, but it was not until intensive exploration in the late 1950s that much interest was shown in the area. After discovering numerous uranium occurrences, Rio Tinto secured the rights to the low-grade Rössing deposit in 1966. Ten years later, in 1976, Rössing Uranium, Namibia's first commercial uranium mine, began operating, celebrating its 40th year of production in 2016.
Today, Namibia has two significant uranium mines, which together provide for roughly 5 per cent of the world's uranium oxide mining output; Rössing Uranium produces about 2 per cent of the world's output. The mine has a nameplate capacity of 4,500 tonnes of uranium per year and, by the end of 2015, had supplied a total of 128,650 tonnes of uranium oxide to the world.
The mine is located 12 km from the town of Arandis, which lies 70 km inland from the coastal town of Swakopmund in Namibia's Erongo Region. Walvis Bay, Namibia's only deep-water harbour, is located 30 km south of Swakopmund.
The mining operation is located in an arid environment. Insolation at Rössing Uranium is high, and as a result, daytime ranges of temperatures are wide, especially during May and September, when the difference between minimum and maximum temperatures exceeds 20ºC daily. The lowest temperatures are normally recorded during August, but frost is rare. The highest temperatures are recorded in the late summer, particularly March.
The mine site encompasses a mining licence and accessory works areas of about 180 km2, of which 25 km2 is used for mining, waste disposal and processing.
Mining is done by blasting, loading and hauling from the main open pit, referred to as the SJ Pit, before the uranium-bearing rock is processed to produce uranium oxide. The open pit currently measures 3 km by 1.5 km, and is 390 m deep.
Our partnerships include individual citizens and their communities as well as nongovernmental organisations, small-scale enterprises and multinational corporations.
Thus, the benefits of our operations are felt locally, nationally, across the African continent and internationally.
Rössing Uranium - Working for Namibia
In 2015, the Rio Tinto Group employed 55,000 people world-wide, including the Group's share of joint ventures and associates. Of these, approximately 29,000 were located in Australasia, 16,000 in the Americas, 7,000 in Africa, and 3,000 in Europe.
The Rössing Uranium Mine is one of the largest and longest-running open pit uranium mines in the world. It is located in the Namib Desert 65 kilometres from Swakopmund near the town of Arandis. Discovered in 1928, it started operations in 1976 as Namibia's first uranium mine and in 2015, produced 1,245 tonnes of uranium oxide, producing 2 per cent of the world's uranium. Rössing is a member of the Rio Tinto group of companies. Rio Tinto is a leading global business delivering value at each stage of mineral and metal production and has been in operation for more than 140 years. We have operations in more than 40 countries.
Rio Tinto has been working on the African continent for more than 50 years working in seven countries, namely Cameroon, Guinea, Madagascar, Mozambique, Namibia, South Africa and Zimbabwe. Our African businesses span across operations in aluminium, bauxite, diamonds, iron, titanium and zircon.
Rössing currently has around 850 employees with 98 per cent Namibians. The mine provides stable, long-term and rewarding employment, backed by training and career development opportunities.
At the end of 2014 the mine had supplied a total of 127,405 tonnes of uranium oxide to the world's nuclear power utilities for the generation of electricity. All uranium produced by Rio Tinto's mines is marketed by London-based Rio Tinto Uranium Limited and supplies electricity companies located in all three major markets: Asia, North America and Europe.
The uranium is mined from tough Alaskite, which is the uranium-bearing rock processed to produce uranium oxide. Mining is done by blasting, loading and hauling from the open pit, currently measuring 3 km long, 1.5 km wide and 390 m deep.
Rössing remains committed to best practices in its health, safety and environmental performance and continue on its Zero Harm safety journey, with the goal to create an injury- and illness-free workplace. A formalised Health, Safety and Environmental Management System and ISO 14001:2004 certification allows Rössing consistent application of HSE best practice.
The mine has a number of great growth opportunities ahead - not only in exploration and organic expansion options, but also in business development opportunities. A most recent development is the signing of a long-term sulphuric acid supply agreement with a Namibian company, starting in 2015, that would benefit employment creation in Namibia.
Rössing has a significant annual procurement spend, with N$1.597 million spent on goods and services of which N$1.086 million (or 68 per cent of the total spent) was allocated to Namibian registered suppliers in 2014.
Apart from living up to the objectives of Namibia's Vision 2030 and the national development plans of promoting value addition within the Namibian market, Rössing is assisting the Government of Namibia to create and maintain employment opportunities. The impact of the events in Japan in 2011 continued to plague the uranium market throughout 2014.
During 2014 the uranium price continued to be under pressure. The significantly lower uranium price – combined with much lower uranium oxide production of 1,543 tonnes in 2014 compared with 2,409 tonnes in 2013 – resulted in our revenue decreasing by 19 per cent since the end of the previous reporting year, ie from N$3 billion in 2013 to N$2.4 billion in 2014. A net loss tax of N$91million was realised from normal operations, compared with a net profit after tax of N$32 million in 2013.
The Rössing Foundation implements and facilitates Rössing's corporate social responsibility activities within Namibian communities, and is managed by a Board of Trustees and contributed some N$21 million to neighbouring communities in 2014.

Dear Internet,
We know the title of this post is shamelessly science fiction-inspired, but it's appropriate. KeyPulp has actually been on hiatus for almost five months, so this update is late in coming, and for that we're sorry.
KeyPulp's founding editors created this site over a year ago because we enjoy writing and working together. Our interests are varied enough — technology, film and theatre, sports, music, and politics — that it felt like a good idea to create a place that would accomodate that variation. We were happy with what we built, and honored to garner a nomination in the first annual Philly Geek Awards. We hoped to grow our team beyond the five founding editors, and maybe even to expand our scope of coverage even further.
Things did not go as we planned. We got busy with new jobs and engagements and families and all of the other things that tend to take precedence over ancillary labors of love.
And here we are.
We all hope that something wonderful happens at KeyPulp or is inspired by it some day, but the truth is that it may require time we don't have. In the meantime, you can find us all on Twitter, and you can reach us in our KeyPulp-ian capacity any time at editors (at) keypulp (dot) com. Thanks to everyone who read us and encouraged us, it meant a lot and it still does.
Jill, Allison, Andrew, Ross, and Joe
KeyPulp's Founding Editors

We would like to congratulate Heavenly Freeride Team members Kyle Smaine and Joanna "PNut" Dzierzawski for placing in the Nike Open for the Winter Dew Tour 2011 in Breckenridge! Both members yielded impressive results this past week in their respective events.
PNut placed 4th in the Woman's Snowboard Slopestyle qualifying round stacked with insane snowboard talent! This was her first foray into competition since an injury kept her out of riding for months last season. Way to bring it back, Joanna!
In the super heavy Men's Ski Halfpipe Open qualifier, Kyle Smaine smoked the competition, placing 6th in the qualifying round. This is just the first stop in an extensive competition schedule Kyle has lined up for the season. Keep up the good work, Smaniac!
Two Heavenly model team members, Nick Poohachoff and Jason Arens, were also invited to compete in a couple of the most challenging Dew Tour events, Men's Open Snowboard Slopestyle and Men's Open Ski Slopestyle, respectively. Nice work, Gentlemen!
You'll be able to scope the skills of these skiers/riders and more later in the season at Heavenly's own Stateline Showdown Slopestyle Competition. In the meantime, here's a little taste from Ante Up terrain park.
Thanks for holding it down for the Heave, High Rollers!
Powder to the People,
Megan Hammitt

6:00 PM GMT on September 10, 2011
Quoting StormHype: Ok, I visited your blog and see what they pay to maintain these. OMG. Outrageous. I've seen them on rivers in N FL and it's old tech with too many large expensive mechanical components. So I can see it being high, but this is ridiculously high. ~$17K per year to maintain a gauge? WTF? Dummies are getting ripped off. Private sector could do this for probably less than $2k. Better yet, make it volunteer and give a tax break or something. |

Glenwood came back from a 1-0 deficit to defeat Tri-Center and complete its regular season with a 13-1 record.
The game, which featured just two officials instead of the usual three, was more physical than coach Brad Selvey expected but he thought his team dealt with that physicality pretty well.
"It was a much more physical game than we were anticipating," said Selvey. "We really escaped with a win and really, without injuries. It was kind of a chippy game."

CARSON, Calif. – It's a good thing LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena isn't a card player. He might be wondering if somebody gave him a short deck.
As he tries to salvage a season that has seen his side claim just three wins from their first 16 games in all competitions and slip to last place in the Western Conference, his resources continue to dwindle.
As many as seven players could miss Sunday's game at The Home Depot Center against the Portland Timbers, their first league game since May 26, because of injury while three others are suspended and Robbie Keane remains in Poland for the European Championships.
"It's not easy, but it's all part of it anyway you look at it," Arena said after training Monday.
Center back Omar Gonzalez remains out after having surgery to repair a knee surgery suffered while he was training in Germany during the offseason. He remains on the Disabled List along with Andrew Boyens, who had surgery to repair a sports hernia last month, and Adam Cristman, who is dealing with a recent concussion.
Along with that trio, Edson Buddle and Dan Keat are each out after recently undergoing surgery on their right knees while Bryan Gaul is recovering from a facial fracture that he suffered against Carolina in the U.S. Open Cup on May 29 and Leonardo is continuing his comeback from a severe knee injury last season. The big Brazilian center back played 90 minutes in the Open Cup defeat to Carolina and scored a goal in the third minute of the Reserve League win at Portland on June 2, but he was forced to leave that game in the 10th minute because of discomfort in his surgically repaired knee.
READ: Buddle, Keat knee surgeries | Leornardo injury update
Additionally, Hector Jimenez, Mike Magee and Michael Stephens will miss Sunday's game while serving suspensions that they were given by the MLS Disciplinary Committee while Keane is still on international duty.
READ: Disciplinary Committee suspends Magee, Stephens
LA's other international, Landon Donovan, is scheduled to rejoin the club following the U.S. National Team's World Cup Qualifier in Guatemala on Tuesday night.
It would be understandable if Arena shook his head over the chain of events, but he hasn't. Not yet, anyway.
"We knew going into the season once we lost Omar it was going to be difficult to get the right combination at the back, and we struggled with that a little bit," he said. "Then obviously some personal issues with (goalkeeper) Josh Saunders took away a little continuity we had in the back, the national team call-ups, the injuries. But it's something everyone has to deal with at some point.
"We're hopeful as we get into the second half of the season we're much more solidified all over the field."

That lack of continuity has seen the defending MLS Cup champs use six different combinations in central defense in 13 regular season games. David Junior Lopes started four days after being acquired from Chivas USA in an April trade. Rookies Gaul and Tommy Meyer have combined to play six games in central defense and seven games overall while fellow rookie Kenney Walker was given his MLS debut at Houston on May 26, starting in central midfield after not even being in the 18-man squad for any of LA's previous contests.
Veteran left back Todd Dunivant, who has started 12 of the club's 13 regular season games this season, said the ongoing saga has been unusual, to say the least.
"It's hectic," he said. "We've dealt with it before, and it's even more of a challenge now because we need points. It doesn't matter who we put out there; we have to get points.
"It's kind of the mentality we're working with right now. It's important we do that because we can't keep pushing things under the rug. It's now or never."
Said striker Chad Barrett, "When it rains it pours. It didn't rain on us that much last year, and maybe we're getting a little bit of it this year. I definitely feel we're going to have some good things coming our way. Something good's got to come at some point, and that's going to start with us winning a game.
"We've faced a lot of adversity. Maybe other teams in the second half will face what we've faced this year. Maybe this will work in our favor down the road."
Starting Sunday the PA announcer will no longer announce last names of players. WE will be doing it for them. Spread the word & be loud! #jb

ADEL, Iowa (AP) — An Urbandale Middle School teacher faces more than a dozen criminal counts after being accused of having sex with two students.
The Des Moines Register reports (http://dmreg.co/15eZinq) that 23-year-old Benjamin Joseph Hoffman was arrested Wednesday. He is being held in the Dallas County Jail on $25,600 bond and could not be reached Thursday morning for comment.
West Des Moines police say Hoffman had sexual contact with a 13-year-old student of his at Urbandale Middle School and a 14-year-old former student of Hoffman's while he was student teaching at Norwalk Middle School.
Hoffman is charged with 11 counts of third-degree sexual abuse, one count of sexual exploitation by a school employee and two counts of providing alcohol to a minor.
Urbandale Superintendent Doug Stilwell says Hoffman has been placed on leave.

Winchester Defender question
I bought a Defender years ago and was wanting to put a scope mount on it. I did some searching for "no gunsmith" style mounts, and the two I found (Redfield and Tasco) both seem to have two holes for attachment. But I only have one hole on the side of my receiver. What am I doing wrong here? I remember years ago when I got the shotgun it had a mount that just used the one hole.
Any help would be appreciated. |

Here's the first ten frames for the VOS road team. The second batch should go to paint next week. Headsets are here and forks will arrive soon. It's going to be a sight, all these matching frames showing up at the races with all these fast guys on 'em.

Muddy waters
For those of us waiting for a muddy race our wishes were granted in a big way at the Peak Season final at Watsonville fairgrounds. I didn't shoot many pictures and I don't have all the results but I do know the following: Stella scored win # 5 and equalled Josh Snead in total season victories, Dean Poshard rode to second place on the day and first in the series,TimWatson won the 35 + A series, Julie Brothers got second on the day, Tom Sullivan, Frank Kalcic and Ben Dodge all raced strong in the raging downpour that flooded the course for most of the day. We were also treated to a rare appearence by Rob Evans on his single speed . Future team rider Scott Chapin captured the overall in the A Single speed group. Another victory was had by Max Fraser in the junior 16-17 field. Max is a world class sailboat racer and has little time to train or race 'cross but when he does he makes it count. Check cyclocross.cx for all the results and standings.

Halfway there
Dang, today was a long day but a milestone was reached: A nice stack of aligned front triangles ready for the rear stays to be 'applied' as they say in a more civilized country. After this batch I'll have no rest as the handmade bike show is only a lttle over two weeks away and I have done no preparation whatsoever. Too bad these frames will not be available for the show as my hope is that they will be in the hands of the owners soon.
Saturday, January 12, 2008
Now that the first batch of VOS team frames are at the painter the second batch is in the works. This group of ten frames will probably take a little more time than the first batch as things seem to be conspiring to make my work slow and my days long. All this said, the frames are looking super nice so far . I have made a couple of new fixtures for the lathe that are speeding up this operation in the photo.....the machining of the head tubes. It only took me 30 minutes to produce the tool I have needed for seven years........

No idea, but looking at their review it doesn't seem good.
I have used these folks with great success in the past, but current attempts to contact (email & phone) have netted no results... Have they gone out of business?
Please advise any info you have...thanks.
No idea, but looking at their review it doesn't seem good.
Are you looking to place an order or are you looking for an order you have already placed? There have been a couple other threads on here about lack of communication from this company.
Was able to find a phone number from them - Worth a shot!
Shipping & Receiving
Jason Garneau
Phone: 1-401-767-2073
Let us know how things turn out.
That was the number I had for them and it appears to ring to a fax machine. I have an 800 number that rings to a voicemail system that says their box is full. Sadly, it appears we have lost a long-time vendor.
I tried to call them a year or two ago and mailbox was full and it was impossible to get ahold of them. I am sure I emailed too with no response. At the time they had changed their name or something which added to confusion. I honestly don't get it as they were at the St. Louis show... but good communications seems to be an on-going problem.
I read the reviews on the company that someone posted a link to, the rating was low, but only two people had rated them.
Unfortunately with sites such as those, often times the only people who do vote are the ones who are ticked off for one reason or another. Though, this is definitely a reoccurring problem. Seems odd seeing as how large the company is and for how long it has been around.
Keep us posted on any updates.
Sometimes that true, but usually that's because that's the only time people think to rate them is after they have been burned or unless the vendor is actively promoting their companies review page to make sure that everyone knows how happy their past customers are and why you should be buying from them. I consider it those companies that go out and promote their review and company is to let everyone know how good they are versus other poor vendors that are trying to hide how often they get complaints. I would buy from a vendor promoting their review page in a second vs one that doesn't. I know their not trying to hide anything or a history of bad business.
If you know vendors good or bad that you've done business with, don't wait till you mad or otherwise. Visit the site and find their profile and write a review. Tell others to write reviews.

Breakaway-Plus Flea Collars work far longer than monthly "spot-on" treatments. For the price of just one month's spot-on treatment I could get up to eleven months protection with The flea collars.With multiple cats the spot-on would have cost me almost a hundred dollars a month! For the same money I get most of a year without fleas by using the Breakaway Plus Flea Collars. Also, the spot-on treatment only kills adult fleas but the Breakaway Plus collars kill every stage of fleas: eggs, larva and adults. I have thirteen cats with thirteen very different personalities and every one of them accepted the collar without wanting to get it off. Now my cats are happier without biting fleas to worry them and I am happy at the time, trouble and money I saved.
I have used these collars for years. My cats were always in and out all day. As long as I put fresh collars on when recommended my cats never got fleas and if I did find a tick it was dead. I plan to continue using this product.
great price and fast shipping...........
My cat is an outdoor /indoor cat and quite a hunter. I was always concerned about a collar getting caught on something during her very adventurous travels. My town requires that she have a license, so drops would not solve the problem. This collar keeps her free of the many ticks in our very active wildlife area. Jinx is very happy with the collar.
I have asthma & have tried 3 other collars on my 2 cats. I could hardly breathe around them because of their scent. This is just what I've been looking for. In addition, they've had no fleas since I applied them about 5 wks. ago. Thank you so very much. (I was going to let you know anyway before you asked for my opinion. I'm sure someone else will benefit.)
After a very heavy tick season in 2011, I purchased these collars for my 3 cats for the 2012 season. It was remarkable. They didn't get a single attached tick all season. Occasionally we'd see unattached ones in their fur, but never attached. The collars did wear out just as the box says, at 4 months, at which point ticks were able to attach. They have also prevented fleas. I have had Lyme disease, so it's important to me to keep ticks at bay. This is an excellent product that I do recommend to other pet owners.
I have been buying these collars for a long time. As long as I replace them regularly they provide great protection for my cats.
I have been using this product for years. I have always had indoor/outdoor cats, I still use this collar and think it gives great protection.
i found out it dose not work my animals scratch even more
I was very hopeful as I have been trying many different flea products on my cats. These collars have a very strong chemical smell that was unpleasant to me and I can only imagine how my cats must have felt with a heightened sense of smell. My Maine Coons coat dulled and my Siamese became withdrawn. I left them on for at least 3 weeks hoping at least they would chase away the fleas, but they had fleas on their heads and legs. When I returned home from a short vacation I cut them loose and they seem to be bouncing back.
it works great!!! I'm really happy with the results!!
The collar smelt horrible. I couldnt let my cat wear it for a day because of the smell. I dont know about how effective it was because my cat didnt have it on long enough.
i have nine cats that i've rescued with various lengths of hair. the collars fit everyone and the breakaway feature is great to have on the three cats that spend alot of time outside. i don't see any fleas. my vet recomended these collars.
Wasn't sure about this collar but found it works great! Will buy more when needed.
I love these collars for my cats. I have seven and have been using these for about a year now. Started purchasing from my vet, at a higher cost. Because I need so many I have to purchase for the best price. This site fills the bill for me. They are easy to use and break away or stretch away from their necks if necessary. They never get stiff and they don't have a bad smell. My cats don't object to them at all. They also last about 5-6 months, so I usually replace them twice a year.
I thought I was buying "Vet-Chem". The name Vet-Kem was deceiving. The collar did nothing for the fleas. I will still buy from Entirely Pets but need to be more informed.
